As the Universe Turns - Chapter 554
Chapter 554 Qiushui Wuqing (2)
The entire cliff was wreaked havoc by the cold wind. At this moment, the sheath of the Autumn Water Sword shone brightly. Qianyu Nichang kicked his feet and charged towards Xiao Chen like a bolt of lightning.
The power of the sword shook the heavens and earth!
At the same time, Xiao Chen’s palm flashed out, and his palm force was like a mad dragon going out to sea, unstoppable!
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the sword qi collided with the palm force, causing the entire cliff to tremble violently. They were afraid that the cliff would collapse, and the two of them fell into the abyss, shattering their bones.
After the sword qi and palm power counteracted each other, Qianyu Nichang swiftly straightened his body forward and swept his sword towards Xiao Chen with his sword sheath.
This sword strike was fast and fierce. Xiao Chen threw it backwards. Although Qiushui hadn’t unsheathed it, the scabbard had actually cut off a strand of hair from his forehead as it swept past his face.
“Chi! Chi! Chi!”
Without waiting for Xiao Chen to stand firmly, Qianyu Nichang attacked again three times in a row. The sword momentum was tight and flawless, forcing Xiao Chen to retreat all the way to the cliff.
Clang!
With a loud sound, Xiao Chen’s finger force shot out, slightly deflecting Qianyu Nichang’s sword. But now, Qianyu Nichang’s sword technique was so amazing that he immediately turned around and attacked him again, not giving him any time to catch his breath.
Cold winds raged on the cliff. Qianyu Nichang’s sword momentum was endless, and he pressed forward step by step. Xiao Chen had always responded calmly. Occasionally, a counterattack would cause Qianyu Nichang’s wrist to go numb.
Even so, Qianyu Nichang’s sword momentum was getting sharper and sharper. Even though Xiao Chen’s current cultivation was much higher than before, unless she had a divine weapon in her hand, she would definitely not be able to repel her in a short period of time.
“Zheng!”
With a sharp sound, a golden light flashed in front of Xiao Chen. In his hand was an immortal sword that was filled with profound light. This sword was not a real sword. Upon closer inspection, one could see that the sword was as if it was a real sword. It was the “Heart Sword” that he had condensed with Genuine energy.
Although the Heart Sword was not a real sword, it had reached the Transformation Realm and even surpassed the real sword.
Qianyu Nichang’s eyes narrowed. Now that Xiao Chen had condensed into the Heart Sword, she was not surprised at all. The sword in her hand was much sharper now. It was either pointed, raised, stabbed, chopped, sword by sword.
“Zheng! Zheng! Zheng!”
The two of them clashed with each other, their sword momentum unyielding. Sword Qi surged everywhere, chopping the nearby leaves into pieces. It was as if their previous love had been shattered by a sword strike on the cold cliff.
If the two swordsmanship had reached a desperate stage, the outcome would be instantaneous. As long as one side was careless, they would be killed by the other side’s excellent swordsmanship.
However, for some reason, their attainments in swordsmanship were already at the peak of perfection, and no one else could compare to them. At this moment, the two of them were actually so stuck that it was impossible to determine victory or defeat. It was as if they had returned to the scene when they practiced swordsmanship at Purple Night Peak in the past. However, their sword intents were now faintly filled with invisible killing intent.
It was getting late. The flowers, plants, and trees on the cliff had long since withered and shattered. Finally, Qianyu Nichang used his last move, and Xiao Chen didn’t leave any room. With a “clang” sound, the sword momentum of the two collided, but they both retreated several zhang backwards.
“You …”
Qianyu Nichang steadied himself and looked up at the cold and heartless person in front of him. He suddenly felt a wave of bitterness in his heart. He did not want the ancient sword to be unsheathed, but he did not leave any room for it step by step …
Xiao Chen waved his sleeve and dispersed the Heart Sword. He said indifferently, “You clearly know that the sword moves I used just now only required the Jade Flute Sword Technique to defeat me. Why didn’t you use it?”
This seemingly careless remark instantly made the atmosphere even colder. Qianyu Nichang was stunned for a moment before he thought of something and said in a daze, “What do you mean by that? Are you … suspecting me? Are you suspecting that those people died under my sword back then?”
A long time ago, when Xiao Chen first thought of this idea, he almost fell into despair and madness. He shut himself up in his room for a few days and nights.
Now that he was looking at her, his gaze was actually so calm. Perhaps the old him would never have imagined that one day, he would speak this sentence so calmly in front of her.
“Then why don’t you go to this world and find the third person who knows the Jade Flute Swordsmanship …”
“Senior Brother …”
Qianyu Nichang looked at him blankly and finally stopped talking. He looked at him silently without saying a word or explaining anything. Only the cold wind slowly blew past her ears, as if it was carrying a ruthless sentence.
“You and I are gracious and righteous today. See you next time … There’s no need to be merciful.”
Xiao Chen’s eyes were indifferent. After he finished speaking, he turned around and was about to fly across the cliff. However, at this moment, Qianyu Nichang suddenly stopped him and said, “Stop!”
“What? You still want to stop me?” Xiao Chen stopped and said indifferently.
At this moment, Qianyu Nichang’s gaze gradually solidified. “I won’t let you take away something like that from the depths of the forest …”
“Oh?”
Xiao Chen smiled gently, “What? Are you planning to fight for that too? I wonder if you want to bring back Xuan Qing or the Heavenly Gate …”
Qianyu Nichang no longer explained anything. He didn’t say a word and his sword momentum rose again. This sword strike was no small matter. It moved like a raging sea and sank like Yue Zhi Ting’s abyss!
Even if the ancient sword hadn’t been unsheathed, who would have challenged its edge!
At this moment, Xiao Chen turned around and condensed his Genuine energy into a single palm to resist Qianyu Nichang’s heavy sword strike!
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, the moment the two collided, dozens of cracks appeared on the cliff. Seeing that it was on the verge of collapse, Qianyu Nichang’s profound strength remained undiminished.
At this moment, a three-flower gathering imprint appeared between her eyebrows. The strength of her entire body instantly increased by countless times. The scabbard of the Autumn Water Sword was finally unable to withstand this power anymore, and it instantly shattered into pieces.
At this instant, the wind and clouds in the sky changed. The sound of the sword howling resounded through the nine heavens, shaking the entire world. The Autumn Water Sword … was unsheathed!
“Zheng!”
With a sword cry, the entire sword’s profound light increased greatly. If the Autumn Water Sword fell into the hands of an ordinary person, it might not even be able to display 10% of its power. If it was held in Xiao Chen’s hand, it would probably be able to display nearly 30% of its power, but at this moment, it was able to display 12% of its power in Qianyu Nichang’s hand!
At this moment, the sword carried a ruthless chill as it slashed towards Xiao Chen. At this moment, Xiao Chen’s luck also turned nine times, and in an instant, he was able to control his life and death.
An unparalleled sword qi that shook the heavens and the earth, a boundless and strange life and death force, at this moment, they were actually heading towards each other fiercely. The sword was a cold sword, and the heart was a cold heart!
In this instant, life and death would be divided!
