Chapter 854 - 331: Human Emperor Fan Wubing (2)
She understood that what she needed to do was not to block Celestial Venerable Hou Long, but to stand by her senior brother's side and be his support.
The next moment,
Her frail body transformed into a blazing fire, burning fiercely in the air.
Her flesh, cultivation, and divine soul all dissolved simultaneously.
The only things left were her will and her heart's sword.
"If it's just my heart's intention, then time and space cannot bind me."
The instant her heart's intention was understood,
Celestial Venerable Hou Long suddenly saw a sword appear before him.
He didn't react at all, not even frightened, as the sword completely pierced through him.
When his flesh was shredded into pieces by the sword's intent, his divine soul emitted a sound of terror,
"Whose sword, whose sword!"
Soon after, a dense rain of swords descended once more.
It was then that he realized and screamed,
"Luo Qingyao! Is he worth such sacrifice from you?"
He hadn't expected Luo Qingyao to use such a means to stop him.
In this world, could there really be such fools?
Willingly abandoning their flesh, cultivation, and divine soul, just to protect one person?
Luo Qingyao answered him with her sword.
Without the constraints of flesh, cultivation, and divine soul, her Sword Dao was no longer something Celestial Venerable Hou Long could resist.
In the blink of an eye, Celestial Venerable Hou Long's divine soul was shredded into fragments, flashing like sparks in the air.
Luo Qingyao's sword pursued relentlessly, giving Celestial Venerable Hou Long no chance, and swiftly extinguished his Dao and Dao intent, intending to erase him completely.
At that moment, despite his body collapsing and divine soul annihilated, Celestial Venerable Hou Long surprisingly transmitted the sound of the Dao,
"Saintess, save me!"
Saintess?
What saintess?
Upon hearing this term, everyone was stunned, thinking they had misheard.
But soon after, someone realized he was referring to,
the Immortal Su Saintess, one of the three Executors!
The most mysterious existence among the Executors. In this world, there is only one sentence about her: "Learn of the Dao by morning, ascend by evening."
It means she was originally a mortal, who, upon realizing the Dao one day, possessed the ability to ascend instantly.
No one has seen the Immortal Su Saintess.
But even so, her mystery is enough to place her third on the list of celestial maidens.
Does Celestial Venerable Hou Long know the Immortal Su Saintess?
Right after the cry "Saintess, save me," time paused.
Below, Celestial Venerable Sui, who was entangled with Celestial Venerable Baiyu and had some contact with the Eternal Cosmos Dao, slightly staggered within the paused time, then suddenly turned his head, surprisingly discovering a long-haired woman dressed like a willow standing in the air.
The moment he saw this figure, he too fell into the state of time suspension.
Immortal Su Saintess, a mysterious and ethereal existence.
She glanced at Celestial Venerable Hou Long's remaining Dao, then at "Luo Qingyao's sword" that was slaughtering his Dao, and proceeded to walk towards Fan Wubing.
Just when she was three zhang away from Fan Wubing, Fan Wubing, who should have fallen into time suspension, suddenly moved and then quickly turned around.
Their eyes met.
Fan Wubing calmly looked at her,
"Have I seen you somewhere before?"
The Immortal Su Saintess, living up to her third-place ranking among celestial maidens, possessed an extraordinary beauty, more like a well-bred lady from a scholarly family than a "Saintess." Fine brows, thin lips, with golden eyes resembling Man'Er's eternal state. Her left eye's corner bore a cloud-like blue-gold mark that enhanced her face with a sacred quality.
She answered differently,
"When you borrowed Celestial Venerable Xiaoyao to grasp the Cosmic Dao, I wondered whether you possess some ability to see through all Dao. Now, indeed it seems so."
Fan Wubing asked,
"If so, are you here deliberately to give me the Eternal Cosmos Dao?"
The Immortal Su Saintess smiled slightly,
"That's not how it should be said. Before me, someone has already delivered some insight on time for you."
With her words, Fan Wubing recalled the sensation of time having paused before,
"That wasn't you?"
The Immortal Su Saintess turned around, crossed her hands behind her, holding her left wrist with her right, and surprisingly said with a slightly playful tone,
"I'm not like her, who likes to spy on others."
Fan Wubing slightly furrowed his brows,
"Have we truly never met anywhere before?"
With her back turned to him, the Immortal Su Saintess asked,
"I'm an Executor of the Heavenly Dao. Isn't it unwise not to consider me an enemy?"
"You don't seem to treat me as an enemy."
The Immortal Su Saintess suddenly turned back, her golden eyes revealing a certain mysterious brilliance,
"Perhaps we have met somewhere indeed."
After speaking, she waved her hand casually, like picking a flower, effortlessly taking Celestial Venerable Hou Long's Dao over, then walked through the void towards the distance,
"Fan Wubing, there are many ways to understand the world. You have already grasped one, or even more than one. If you truly feel you've seen me somewhere, follow this feeling and find me."
She vanished into the heavenly light.
Afterward, time resumed its flow.
And Fan Wubing had already opened the Immortal Dynasty Gate.
However, he now preferred to call it the Celestial Gate.
Platinum light flows out from the other side of the Celestial Gate.
Fan Wubing didn't choose to step right into it; instead, he turned and walked towards Luo Qingyao's sword. Slowly reaching out, he grasped it tightly in his hand.
Through the sword, he could feel Luo Qingyao's heart's intention.
She wished to journey alongside him.
Sacrificing her flesh, cultivation, and divine soul, using the method most like her, to travel with her senior brother.
Fan Wubing couldn't help but laugh,
"I say you've grown up, yet you're still so childish. Just like back in the Eternal Immortal Sect, you always wanted to stick to me wherever I went. But... in the past, I lacked the confidence to let you be so willful and couldn't help but urge you to strive for growth. But now, I should be considered as a competent senior brother, a responsible husband."
