Remould the Glory of Sword Art

The shadows enveloping the Broken Buddha Cliff dissipated.

Lu Yuzhen’s figure dispersed in the clouds, and the oppressive feeling ensconced in the hearts of everyone faded away with the departure of the Paperman Sect.

"Finally... has it ended?"

Ao Ying’s expression was complex as she returned to her wheelchair.

Although she had not participated in the battle, she felt immense pressure. This Paperman Taoist Master, though half of his body lingered in the River of Destiny, the authority he emanated was already on par with a "Great Palace Master," a Yang God Perfection-level strong person. In the battle at the [Ruins] not long ago, Ao Ying had hidden underground.

In this battle at the Broken Buddha Cliff, she was forced and couldn’t escape; otherwise, she would have used the [Feng Mou] to flee.

"It hasn’t ended yet."

Xie Xuanyi looked at Chi Fu calmly and said, "Take me there."

Ao Ying pushed Xie Xuanyi, arriving before the pool of blood.

Chi Fu Dragon Lord was heavily injured.

This Great Venerable of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace had only enough strength left to move his fingers.

The Lotus Fire Shield lay nearby, a very ornate glazed lamp, which Xie Xuanyi gently raised with his hand, allowing the lamp to float into his palm.

"Xie Xuanyi... you... won..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord spoke hoarsely.

His eyes no longer held anger, unwillingness, or similar emotions.

A gambler accepts defeat gladly.

He had gambled everything on himself, but unfortunately, it ended in failure. He knew he was approaching the end of his life.

"The assassination plots laid against you by the Heavenly Phoenix Palace all came from my hands. Different stances between the Human Race Demon Country camps have always led to slaughter over the years. If our positions were exchanged, you would likely do the same to me..."

Chi Fu Dragon Lord laughed lightly, offering no more excuses but spoke frankly.

"If you need to vent the resentment in your heart, just act against me..."

After saying this.

He spread open his arms, prepared to face death.

It seemed.

At this moment, Chi Fu Dragon Lord appeared carefree, indifferent.

But in reality...

Who willingly goes to their death?

Once an invincible Great Venerable of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace, at this moment, can only rely on such words to maintain the last shred of dignity.

Moreover.

The subtext of these words is too obvious; even Ao Ying understood.

He still wants to buy time for Jiang Huang nearby.

Xie Xuanyi doesn’t have much strength left; he might lead a sword to his death, perhaps giving her a chance to escape.

Now, Lu Yuzhen has retreated to the "past" of the River of Destiny.

The paper snow in the sky is gradually dispersing.

Once the paper snow completely dissipates, this Broken Buddha Cliff won’t be a forbidden land where no one can enter or leave.

"The Wind and Snow Barrier is about to disperse."

Sitting in the wheelchair, Xie Xuanyi didn’t draw his sword but calmly said this sentence.

The Broken Buddha Cliff isn’t large.

This voice naturally reached Jiang Huang’s ears.

Just one sentence made Chi Fu Dragon Lord’s heart tremble; he knew his intentions had been seen through by Xie Xuanyi... but unexpectedly, the sound of void traversal echoed in his ears, the red-clothed woman returned, Jiang Huang, who originally had a chance to escape, returned to the battlefield, arriving before the pool of blood.

"..."

Silence returned to the Broken Buddha Cliff.

Jiang Huang stood expressionless in front of Chi Fu Dragon Lord.

She locked eyes with Xie Xuanyi.

Judging by their state, clearly, the red-clothed woman’s condition was better; after the battle at the Broken Buddha Cliff, Jiang Huang only suffered some surface wounds, while Xie Xuanyi seemed like a lamp about to burn out.

But in terms of momentum...

Anyone who comes would feel the sickly man in the wheelchair controls everything.

"I know I can’t escape."

Jiang Huang said calmly, "As soon as I leave the Broken Buddha Cliff, you’ll immediately draw your sword."

This was a very accurate judgment.

Jiang Huang has now surpassed all Yin God Realm on earth, stepping into the Half-step Yang God Realm, still carrying many treasures from the Heavenly Phoenix Palace.

Yet, she still couldn’t escape Xie Xuanyi’s Flying Sword!

If one observed closely, even as the paper snow dispersed from the world, above the dome, layers of faint gray-black clouds still enveloped.

Since the moment Xie Xuanyi drew his sword.

The Life and Death Dao Domain encompassed this place.

As long as Xie Xuanyi has a breath left.

Then...

This Broken Buddha Cliff is under his command.

"You should know, I won’t kill you."

Xie Xuanyi said lightly.

If he had a killing intent towards Jiang Huang, he would have acted at Snow Lion Ridge, not leaving her until now.

The two have a past.

This is something everyone under heaven knows.

"Yes."

Jiang Huang responded with righteousness, even straightened her chest and took a deep breath to say, "That’s why I’m blocking here."

"...?"

Ao Ying was taken aback.

She truly couldn’t understand what Jiang Huang was doing.

Xie Xuanyi is no benevolent person!

Not killing her absolutely doesn’t mean not killing Chi Fu Dragon Lord!

Buzz!

A resonance echoed in heaven and earth!

A thread of golden sword light shot from Xie Xuanyi’s forehead without warning, the speed of this sword qi incredibly fast, the void exploded with sonic booms!

This sword, heading straight for Jiang Huang——

"Clatter!"

Those heavy treasures of the Heavenly Phoenix Palace sprung out, guarding automatically, one after another appeared before Jiang Huang.

Great bell, great drum, shield.

They seemingly held tremendous might, but didn’t provide any obstruction.

Frowning, Xie Xuanyi pierced through them with a single sword.

Crash.

The treasures shattered on the ground.

In an instant, the sword qi reached its "destination." [Chen Ke] hovered in front of Jiang Huang’s forehead, lightly swaying its sword fire as if it had always been there, never moving at all. As for that previously confident woman’s throne, she now looked pale, unable to breathe steadily.

Jiang Huang’s pupils narrowed into a very thin line.

She felt a subtle itch from her forehead.

Reaching to touch, her palm was stained red.

Something was flowing.

It was... blood.

[Chen Ke], under Xie Xuanyi’s control, halted at a hair’s breadth from Jiang Huang’s forehead, but the radiating edge effortlessly pierced Jiang Huang’s Great Demon Physique.

A thin line of blood descended from her forehead, meandering down Jiang Huang’s fair, beautiful face, finally dripping to the ground.

"You should better understand, trying to threaten me with your body won’t work."

Xie Xuanyi lifted his head, eyes full of coldness: "...Get out!"

These two words fell like thunder.

Jiang Huang’s complexion turned pale, her body slightly shook uncontrollably.

She knew.

The reason Xie Xuanyi wouldn’t kill her was all due to the "Second Divine Soul."

If she had fully subdued the "Second Divine Soul" and struck it down...

Then Xie Xuanyi would likely have acted without hesitation.

She also knew.

The gap between them was vast.

But only when facing it personally did she truly experience the chasm-like gap in strength.

The sword suspended before her couldn’t compare with Xie Xuanyi’s previous swords... this certainly wasn’t the "Fourth Sword" Xie Xuanyi mentioned.

Jiang Huang’s Divine Thought fiercely struggled.

She wanted to break through at this moment, wanting to condense the [Karmic Fire] and [Lotus] two Dao Realms...

But she didn’t know.

If she advanced now, facing Xie Xuanyi’s "Fourth Sword," would she have any chance of victory.

Even just a bit.

She was willing to try.
