As the Universe Turns - Chapter 560
Chapter 560 Autumn Water Sword Intent
“It doesn’t matter. How are you?”
Qianyu Nichang glanced at him. Seeing that his face was already slightly pale, he knew that he was just trying to hold on. If this continued, his injuries would inevitably be affected. The consequences would be even more serious. However, the two of them in Tai Shi Dao Sect were truly difficult to deal with. If they attracted more people, they would only be afraid that things would turn out badly.
The two of them had clearly exhausted their strength. Genuine energy was constantly draining away, making it difficult for them to hold on any longer. However, they gritted their teeth and forcefully supported each other. They were just unwilling to speak, unwilling to let each other know that they needed each other’s protection, and unwilling to drag the other down. It was and is the same now.
“Third Senior Brother, can you see that? Those two people are about to collapse …” In the distance, the old man in red’s eyes shone with a cold killing intent.
“I know …”
Killing intent was also hidden in Old man Zi Yi’s eyes. The two of them exchanged glances and took advantage of the fact that Xiao Chen and the two of them hadn’t recovered their elemental energy to suddenly launch another fierce attack.
This time, the two of them had found out the truth about Xiao Chen and the two of them. They didn’t hold back any longer. The red-clothed old man suddenly took out a Scarlet Fire Immortal Sword and pointed at the sky, “Eight stars … collapsed!”
As soon as he finished speaking, the entire valley turned into a sea of flames. Countless scarlet meteorites fell from the valley, and in an instant, the trees within a radius of ten kilometers were burned to ashes.
“Get out of the way!”
Facing the Fire Meteorite that had fallen from all directions, Xiao Chen hurriedly displayed his Immortal Steps and Qianyu Nichang executed his movement technique to the extreme. However, this move, “Eight Stars Collapse Death”, was the supreme spell of the red-clothed old man. No matter where the two of them fled, even if they were not hit by the Fire Meteorite, they would still be attacked by the flaming flames that filled the air.
As a result, the two of them, who had already exhausted a great deal of their strength, had their Genuine energy drained even more rapidly from their bodies.
“Holy shit, Junior Sister Qianyu and Xiao Yichen, both of them are running out of Genuine energy …”
Outside the mountain valley in the distance, Xia Guyun and the others were extremely anxious. However, their cultivation levels weren’t high enough for them to step forward to help.
The red-clothed old man used his sword to control the Fire Meteorite Fall, while Old man Zi Yi’s close-range attacks were fierce. After fighting for a while, Qianyu Nichang’s body was covered in sweat and his face was pale.
Xiao Chen couldn’t hold on any longer. The wound on his chest had already collapsed again, and fresh blood was constantly flowing out. If this continued, even if Genuine energy hadn’t run out of blood, it would probably be dried up first …
“Senior Brother …”
Qianyu Nichang saw that the front of his chest was completely dyed red with blood. He knew that his wound would definitely rupture. If this continued, the two of them would definitely die at the hands of Tai Shi Dao Sect and the other two.
“Junior Sister, do you still remember Qiushui Wuqing?”
Even though Genuine energy was about to end, Xiao Chen was still not in chaos, and his expression was calm. Slowly speaking, these two mere Tai Shi Dao Sect in front of him were the people who had been surrounded and killed by tens of thousands of people in the God and Demon Tomb. How had he ever feared them?
“Qiushui Wuqing …”
Qianyu Nichang seemed to have thought of something. This move of Qiushui was ruthless and extremely powerful. It was first comprehended by Xiao Chen and then passed on to her.
But later, she vaguely realized that although this sword technique was extremely powerful and unrivaled, it required the heart of the swordsman to die and be heartless. Only in this way could she display the maximum power of the sword technique. If she still had a trace of emotion, she would be afraid of being attacked.
Therefore, she never used this sword technique. Even after that, she comprehended a “Smoke Mark Ten Thousand Miles” from the Qiushui Ancient Sword. Although it was much weaker than “Qiushui Ruthless” and “Smoke Mark Ten Thousand Miles”, she would rather use the Smoke Mark Ten Thousand Miles than use Qiushui Ruthless.
However, in the current situation, he feared that he would only be able to overcome today’s crisis if he burned his boat and took a risk with Qiushui Wuqing.
Thinking of this, the two of them no longer hesitated and jumped back to avoid Tai Shi Dao Sect’s attack. The purple-clothed old man saw the two of them retreat and was about to chase after him. Xiao Chen fought against Genuine energy’s exhaustion and threw out a palm, sending him back a hundred feet.
The two of them landed on a charred tree behind them. They looked at each other and did not hesitate. Back then, the two of them had comprehended the Autumn Water Sword Technique together at Purple Night Peak. Even though many years had passed, each move was still firmly remembered, as if it was yesterday.
At this moment, it was the same as when they practiced swordsmanship together at Purple Night Peak. The two of them shared the same thoughts and sword intent. There was no barrier between them. However, if they wanted to activate Qiushui Wuqing, they would need to consume a lot of Genuine energy.
“Thinking back to the past, Xiaofeng Canyue and Dream Like Yesterday, how can I endure such a long hatred? The only thing left is the cold autumn …”
As the two of them recited the sword scripture, the wind and clouds in all directions instantly changed. The sea of flames formed by the red-clothed old man’s spell also dissipated at this moment, and the clouds within ten thousand kilometers surged with it!
An extremely strong sword intent instantly enveloped the heavens and the earth, causing one’s heart to tremble with fear. In the distance, Xia Guyun, Leng Qianxue, and the others trembled. It was truly unexpected that the two of them would be able to unleash such a powerful sword attack together!
On Tai Shi Dao Sect’s side, the two old men were shocked when they saw that the situation wasn’t right. They knew that they had to stop these two people from launching this sword attack. The two of them instantly pushed Genuine energy to the limit and attacked Xiao Chen and the two of them. However, it was already too late to stop Qiushui’s merciless attack.
“Qiushui-Wuqing!”
Just as the four words fell, the two of them finally activated the final move of the Autumn Water Sword Technique, Autumn Water Ruthless. This sword slashed out, causing mountains and rivers to shatter, the sun, moon, and stars to fall. The sword momentum shook the Nine Heavens and Ten Earths!
The ten thousand zhang sword radiance was unmatched. The valley instantly shattered, and the already injured disciples of the Tai Shi Dao Sect were unable to withstand the sword qi at this moment. They all vomited blood and flew backwards.
“Boom!”
With a loud explosion, dust rose everywhere. Even though the two old men had already reached the Soul Formation stage, under this sword strike, their internal organs were all damaged. Their meridians were inch by inch, and they were still able to protect their primordial spirit bodies. This was already an extremely unfortunate fortune.
The two of them flew around in the dust, smashing the boulders behind them into pieces. If Xiao Chen and Qianyu Nichang hadn’t used up too much energy, they would have long since been annihilated by this sword strike.
The smoke and dust in the sky did not disperse for a long time, but when they dispersed, they saw that the entire valley had already been razed to the ground. In front of them, a 10,000 foot crack had been cut by Qiushui Wuqing’s sword qi. It was like an abyss, pitch-black and bottomless.
Only now did Poria and the others wake up from their dreams. Just how powerful was that sword technique … How could Junior Sister Qianyu and Junior Brother Xiao have such a terrifying sword technique?
Qianyu Nichang’s face was pale. It was obvious that he had already used up a lot of energy today, and Xiao Chen was not well. Not only did his face lose the slightest bit of color, he had just risked his wounds to launch Qiushui Wuqing with Qianyu Nichang. At this moment, his clothes had almost been stained with blood.
“How are you …”
Seeing his injuries relapse, Qianyu Nichang felt somewhat guilty that she had stabbed this sword with the Autumn Water Sword.
“I can’t die.”
Xiao Chen quickly tapped a few acupoints on his body to stop the bleeding from the wound. However, at this moment, two powerful auras suddenly came from outside. The two of them raised their heads to look, but seeing the clouds in the sky surging endlessly, they were afraid that an even more terrifying enemy would come this time.
