As the Universe Turns - Chapter 553
Chapter 553 Qiushui Wuqing (1)
“Senior Brother …”
The pain on Qianyu Nichang’s face grew even more intense. Finally, the Autumn Water Sword let out a long sword cry and stabbed towards Xiao Chen. Even though the ancient sword was not unsheathed, the sword intent could not be concealed.
At this moment, it was as if they had returned to the time when the two of them had been practicing swordsmanship on Purple Night Peak. They were just laughing and laughing in the past, but now, they were in a cold silence.
The long sword suddenly arrived. Xiao Chen’s body moved instantaneously, leaving only an afterimage on the spot. His original body was already several zhang away. Although Qianyu Nichang’s sword attack was sharp, it was still a bit slower.
“Your sword seems to have slowed down” Xiao Chen stood not far away, his hands still behind his back. He looked at her and said indifferently.
Qianyu Nichang frowned. He turned his wrist and thrust his sword towards Xiao Chen. This sword strike was also extremely sharp, causing the entire cliff to fly away. Even though the sword momentum became stronger, this sword strike was still avoided by Xiao Chen.
“What? Haven’t you used your sword to kill someone in too long, so you can’t be serious now?” Xiao Chen looked at her and said indifferently.
The wind on the cliff passed coldly. Suddenly, the Autumn Water Sword trembled, as if it resonated with its master. Layers after layers of primitive sword intent pierced through the sheath of the sword!
“Zheng!”
With a howl of the sword, the entire cliff instantly blew with a strong wind. The plants and trees flew everywhere. Inside Qianyu Nichang, Yuan Ji was extremely lucky. The sword intent instantly transformed into layers of sword qi that enveloped his entire body.
Xiao Chen still stood there with his hands behind his back. He looked into her eyes and did not move.
At this moment, Qianyu Nichang was like the Qianyu Nichang of the past. Back in Xuanqing Sect, she had always been the proud daughter of the heavens in everyone’s eyes. Everyone liked her. Senior brothers and sisters liked her, Elder Excellency liked her, and Xiao Chen liked her too. However, Xiao Chen liked her exactly the opposite.
In the eyes of everyone, Xiao Chen was a naughty person who didn’t strive for improvement all day long. Fighting with others, opposing elders, and doing things that disciples didn’t dare to do, he had done all of them …
It wasn’t until the Heavenly Gate Martial Arts Association became astonishing … But it was also after that time. It was unknown when it started. Sometimes, when Qianyu Nichang looked at him, he would occasionally look at him like this.
Perhaps even she herself did not notice that she had subconsciously regarded this most intimate Senior Brother as her opponent, so every time she practiced swordsmanship, she would have to decide the outcome.
At this moment, just like back then, Qianyu Nichang’s sword thrust out with astonishing momentum. Even though Qiushui hadn’t unsheathed yet, he was still extremely strong, almost to the extreme.
The sword shadows piled up one after another. At this moment, time seemed to have accelerated. It was indescribable how fast he was. In just an instant, the sword had already been passed in front of Xiao Chen. It was impossible for him to dodge such a swift sword strike!
Chi!
With a sharp sound, Qianyu Nichang’s body inertia pounced forward. This sword actually pierced through the air and stabbed into an illusion. However, the sword just now was so fast, who could escape in such a short period of time? Unless, from the very beginning, Xiao Chen, who was standing here, was a fake phantom …
At this moment, Qianyu Nichang reacted. Without hesitation, he hurriedly turned around and moved his left hand forward. With a “chi” sound, he collided with Xiao Chen’s finger force. The profound energy surged out and instantly shattered several nearby stones.
This move, however, was extremely dangerous. Almost between life and death, if she had miscalculated just now, she would have been heavily injured by a single finger of Xiao Chen’s.
‘”I remember that I told you before that the swordsmanship was full of changes and everything was empty, but there is always one thing that is real … The sword you stabbed at me was real, but I was empty. You would have made the same mistake again …”
Xiao Chen slowly put his hand back behind him and looked at her indifferently.
Qianyu Nichang’s eyebrows furrowed. At this moment, the scene of that year appeared in his mind. He couldn’t dodge that sword attack no matter what, but when he stabbed it out, he only stabbed into an illusion. In the end, he even sneaked an attack.
At that time, she was anxious and said, “You … you’re a shameless person. This time, it doesn’t count. Let’s come again!”
At that time, Yi Chen was too young to be angry, “Why am I so shameless? Your sword was knocked out by me. Think about it, I ambushed you from behind just now. If it was a demon, would you still be alive?”
“You!”
Hearing him say that, Nichang was even angrier, “You know it was a sneak attack! You’ve seen it so many times, have I ever sneak attacked you?”
Yi Chen tied his hands to his chest, his back leaning against a bamboo leaf. He snorted and said, “If you lose, you lose. If it was a member of the Devil Religion, they wouldn’t be here to talk about sneak attacks or openness.”
“You … Hmph, then you won just now! Now we’ll do it again!”
“No, no, it’s getting dark. Master will be back soon. You should go back to your master’s place as well. If your master finds out that you’re with me again, he might say behind his back that some uneducated mountain brat wants to eat swan meat all day long …”
“You …”
Nichang frowned and said, “My master is not what you said. You are not allowed to speak ill of my master behind your back! Do you understand? Otherwise, I will tell Martial Uncle Ling Yin that you secretly went down the Purple Night Peak again …”
…
Scenes of the past appeared one after another, but now, in their hearts, there was a layer of estrangement that could never be resolved, and it was impossible for them to return to the past.
“Are you really … unwilling to go back with me?”
The wind on the cliff had become even colder and more bone-chilling. Qianyu Nichang looked at him, and his heart gradually cooled down along with the cold wind.
She knew that the person in front of her was no longer the senior brother who had protected her everywhere. If she hadn’t reacted instantly with that finger just now, wouldn’t she have been heavily injured by him and knocked off the cliff …
However, Qiushui Sword was given to him by him back then. How could he unsheathe it now?
Xiao Chen put his hands behind his back and looked at her indifferently, “If you want to stop me, then pull out your sword. What are you still hesitating about?”
“Senior Brother … I have offended you, but today, even if I hurt you, I will still bring you back!”
Suddenly, a cold aura surged from Qianyu Nichang’s body. Even the flowers, plants, and trees near the cliff were instantly dyed with a layer of wind and frost. Without a doubt, she had already circulated the Heavenly Jade Bloodline’s weak water three thousand cultivation techniques to the extreme.
However, at this moment, the Three Flowers Gathering Top Seal had not appeared between her eyebrows. Once the Three Flowers Gathering Top Seal appeared, her strength would increase by countless times.
“Finally … Are you serious?”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. As soon as he finished speaking, the Genuine energy in his body trembled. He instantly circulated the Nine Yin Nine Yang Profound Technique. The Nine Yang Force transformed into streaks of golden profound light, and the Nine Yin Force transformed into strands of black gas. It really looked like Diabolism’s Evil Technique.
