Chapter 435: Junior sister, save a hand.
The cold wind blew up the thick black hair, which looked like a snake shadow behind Gu Mingxin. The red eyes under the dirty bangs reflected the icy blue light in front of her that was rapidly approaching her.
The temperature in the originally extremely cold desert seemed to have dropped by several degrees at this moment, causing Gu Mingxin’s shoulders to tighten two inches.
Judging from the way Ye Anping’s junior sister’s flying sword rushed toward her, it was obvious that she was not here to talk to her.
When she first met Ye Anping in Tian’an City, this girl left a much deeper impression on her than Feng Yudie.
The two sword marks carved on her shoulders still hurt a little.
That was the first time that she was beaten by a sword cultivator whose realm was lower than hers, and she could only parry, unable to fight back.
Although there were Heavenly Execution Court disciples and Ye Anping helping the girl at the time, this girl was not a white-haired fool like Feng Yudie who relied on her talent to dominate the crowd.
Regardless of whether it was an immortal cultivator or a demonic cultivator, there was an eternal truth:
Those cultivators who have mediocre qualifications but can match the talents of the geniuses with their strength are much more powerful than those cultivators with Heavenly Spiritual Roots who are blessed with luck.
Ye Anping’s junior sister was one of them.
Although Xue had said before that her spiritual roots seemed a bit special, corresponding to her special qualifications, it was extremely difficult to practice, which was not comparable to Feng Yudie or her heavenly spiritual roots that were adapted to the spiritual energy of the world.
Gu Mingxin was inexplicably agitated. Now that Ye Anping was not here, she wanted to fight with this orange-eyed girl to decide the outcome, but…
“Ming Xin, I know you want to fight her in a sword fight, but he seems to be very important to Ye Anping. If you hurt her, Ye Anping’s side…”
“…”
“Also, He Ji Ming is standing by right now. If anything goes wrong, he will become a cannon fodder…”
Xue persuaded Gu Mingxin.
Gu Mingxin didn’t have the upper hand either. Now it was no longer the situation that allowed her to have the upper hand. Bringing He Ji Ming back to the Demon Sect alive was her top priority now.
Seeing that Pei Lianxue was no more than two miles away from him, Gu Mingxin still did not summon her spiritual sword. After taking a deep breath, she loudly raised her voice:
“Hiss—wait a minute!!!”
The sound waves carrying a blood-evil aura spread to dozens of miles.
Pei Lianxue, who was approaching quickly with her sword, heard this sound and recalled what her senior brother had said, thinking that she was planning something. She suddenly turned from movement to stillness and stopped about a hundred feet in front of Gu Mingxin.
The silver spirit sword that Pei Lianxue held in her right hand turned around and was carried behind her right hand. At the same time, she took out her small book with her left hand, turned the pages with her aura, and glanced at it with her peripheral vision:
“What?”
Seeing that she had stopped, Gu Mingxin breathed a sigh of relief. She looked sideways at He Jiming, who was standing there blankly, and ordered him not to say a word with her eyes, and then asked:
“We have met several times, and I still don’t know your name…”
“Well… Liang Xiao Xue…”
?
Gu Mingxin was a little speechless and was stunned for a moment. She felt that whether it was Ye Anping or this girl, they were too careless in giving false names, but she did not expose it and replied:
“Then Miss Liang, can you let us go? If you and I fight, we won’t be able to tell the winner in a short time, so why fight me to the death now?”
Pei Lianxue had no expression on her face. After thinking for a while, it seemed that she really did not need to fight Gu Mingxin. After all, her senior brother had not asked her to do so before.
Even the matter of coming here with Sect Leader Ye to find the second idiot was her arbitrary decision.
But…
Gu Mingxin once wanted to kill his senior brother. During the Han Tian Kingdom in the Northern Domain, her senior brother was buried in the ground…
For this reason alone, Gu Mingxin must die!
The orange eyes under the black hair were slightly narrowed, and the spirit sword leaning on the right shoulder was held in reverse instead of in the front grip.
Pei Lianxue glanced at the notes she had written down on the page of the small book on her left hand and read:
“Ah Gu, you have been alone since you were a child. I feel so pitiful for you. No one loves you, no one talks to you. You wholeheartedly want to help the Heavenly Demon Sect seek benefits, but in the end, you are framed by the Heavenly Demon Sect as a spy of immortals. Even the father who adopted you has never trusted you.”
“…”
“Ha. Ha. Ha. You are so pitiful… And very pathetic… Like a domesticated puppy. The master of the Demon Sect gave you a few bones, and you started wagging your tail…”
“?”
Although one could tell from the first listen that Pei Lianxue was just following the script, the contents of the “Script” were precise, and each word accurately addressed the weak points of Gu Mingxin’s defense.
If the rubbish she said to her before could only make her unhappy…
What Pei Lianxue read out now was enough to make her heart burn with anger.
Gu Mingxin’s left eye twitched slightly, and her gaze moved to the small book in Pei Lianxue’s hand. The next moment, a bloody spiritual energy came out of her sleeve and condensed into a bloody spiritual sword in her right hand.
The remaining clouds in the night sky covered the moon and also covered the pale moonlight that shone on Gu Mingxin’s face.
Shadows emerged from above her red eyes.
Gu Mingxin called out a name softly:
“Ye Anping…”
Pei Lianxue also grasped the hilt of the spirit sword in her right hand tightly at this moment, and turned the sword slightly by thirty degrees, with a little vigilance in her orange eyes.
Xue, who was in Gu Mingxin’s ear, also noticed something was wrong at this moment, and quickly continued to persuade:
“Ming Xin! Don’t listen to her nonsense. You are not pitiful at all. You and I are here! Ming Xin, don’t be provoked by her. This is all a routine. Ye Anping knows how to make you feel uncomfortable. They have colluded. Yes! This girl probably doesn’t know what’s going on with Golden Idiot and White Idiot yet, just tell her! Just tell her that you spared that White Idiot’s life…”
Even though Xue was so sincere, Gu Mingxin couldn’t listen to her now.
“Ye Anping, Ye Anping, Ye Anping…”
“…”
“Ye – An -”
The remaining clouds slowly passed by, once again revealing the bright moon behind them, casting the frost-like moonlight on the two people facing each other.
“Flat!!”
Choking——
Only a shrill sword cry was heard.
The bloody light of the red spirit sword flashed directly over the desert, flashing a bloody streak that looked like it was splitting the sky. The cold desert under the moonlight also faded at this moment.
Pei Lianxue calmly raised the spirit sword.
Ding–
The two spiritual swords suddenly collided, causing violent winds to fly.
Faced with Gu Mingxin’s violent close approach and a tyrannical sword blow with almost all her strength, Pei Lianxue also felt that her right hand holding the sword seemed to be pressed down by ten thousand kilograms of force, and she suddenly felt a little bad.
Click——
With the crisp sound of an iron collapse, Pei Lianxue’s spirit sword fell one step ahead of her arm. It was broken into two pieces by the edge of the bloody spirit sword, and a sword blade grazed the side of her cheek. A blood mark was drawn on the side of her face.
Gu Mingxin stared with red eyes filled with murderous intent. Seeing that her sword was broken, the corners of her mouth slightly raised, showing a hint of sneer. She immediately turned the spiritual sword in her hand and slashed toward Pei Lianxue’s shoulder.
Gu Mingxin was also a little surprised. She thought she could kill this girl with one sword.
Until she saw the unwavering expression on Pei Lianxue’s face and the still unwavering eyes…
Pei Lianxue seemed to know that her spiritual sword would break. She had long hidden an arm-long dagger in her left sleeve. She had written down notes in her little notebook…
The senior brother said that if she encountered Gu Mingxin without the Snow Spirit Sword, she needed to be prepared to break the spirit sword every time she fought with the sword.
Although the dagger was shorter than the sword and was not easy to use, just before the Gu Mingxin Sword was about to fall on her shoulder, ten rays of spiritual light instantly struck the blade of the bloody spiritual sword. at one point.
Clang–!
Ten hammering sounds almost merged into one sound.
The spiritual light exploded, and the spiritual sword in Gu Mingxin’s right hand was bounced away. The dagger held by Pei Lianxue in her left hand also turned into fragments after she swung the sword technique, and collapsed into pieces in her left hand.
Gu Mingxin’s eyes showed a little disbelief.
But before she could figure it out, ten more icy blue sword energies struck at a point on her neck from different directions.
Pei Lianxue took advantage of the gap and took out a spare spiritual sword from the storage bag. She had collected a lot of swords from the demon-killing cultivator before, and her senior brother also prepared many for her, just because she was afraid that she would meet him. And Gu Mingxin had no sword left.
There were enough spirit swords in her storage bag!
There was no emotion in her orange eyes. While Pei Lianxue swung her sword, her peripheral vision glanced at He Ji Ming, who was stunned not far away, and she lightly swept the fingers of her free left hand.
While attacking Gu Mingxin with the Shadow Leaves Sword Technique in her right hand, she added another spiritual sword with her spiritual energy and shot it toward He Ji Ming’s neck like a sword arrow.
Ding ding ding——
After Gu Mingxin parried, she caught a glimpse of the spiritual sword heading toward He Jiming. Her eyes widened immediately, and she quickly turned around and struck the “Li Xian Sword” with her sword…
Swish——
The spiritual sword that was originally aimed at He Jiming’s throat, under Gu Mingxin’s intervention, shot almost close to He Jiming’s face, cutting off half of his ear.
However, He Jiming didn’t react at all.
For him, the three attacks and defenses of Gu Mingxin and Pei Lianxue only took the blink of an eye.
He didn’t even understand that his life was saved by Gu Mingxin…
Dangdang——
In his eyes, there were only two afterimages of Gu Mingxin and the immortal nun left, one red and one blue. Countless half-moon arcs scattered and flew dozens of feet in front of him, exploding heaven and earth.
It was not only He Jiming who was stunned but also Ye Ao, who was rushing there a little further away.
This was the first time Ye Ao saw Pei Lianxue swinging a sword, and it was also the first time he saw that a swordsman in the core formation stage could hit to such a degree.
After all, he was also a cultivator in the core formation stage. His cultivation was a little higher than Pei Lianxue. How come he can’t catch any traces?
“Hiss…”
Ye Ao took a deep breath and saw the light of the sword flowing two hundred feet in front of him. The sound of breaking, crashing, and sparks from the spiritual sword could be seen almost everywhere in his field of vision.
The right hand hanging in front of him, about to use the magic seal, could not find the target and came down from nowhere…
He hesitated for a while, then simply ignored Pei Lianxue and the others, and focused his attention on the other demon cultivator who was standing there in a daze in the sword light.
Ye Ao twitched the corner of his mouth slightly and immediately made a magic spell. In an instant, dark clouds gathered in the sky, and a bolt of lightning turned into a soaring dragon and crashed toward He Ji Ming’s head.
However, at the next moment, a bloody sword light cut off the head of the dragon thunder, causing the thunder spirit energy to explode in mid-air.
Boom–
“Ah?”
Ye Ao was shocked. His thunder method was cut off by the sword.
Before he could react, a bloody sword light shot straight toward the back of his neck.
He only heard Pei Lianxue’s shout from below:
“Sect Master Ye! Back away!”
Boom–
A spiritual sword flew directly toward him, stopping the bloody sword light three feet in front of his chest. It turned into spiritual light and exploded, pushing back Ye Ao who was stepping on the flying sword. He flew dozens of feet before barely regaining his balance.
Ye Ao was not the only one who heard Pei Lianxue’s cry.
Gu Ming frowned slightly and immediately glanced at Ye Ao, Ye Anping’s father. How did you achieve the core formation stage?
Ding ding——
She used her sword skills to continuously receive each of Pei Lianxue’s sword rays that directly hit her vitals.
Just after the sword energy she swung at Ye Ao was blocked, the emotionless orange eyes of Pei Lianxue, who had been fighting with her before, suddenly revealed a murderous aura that made her tremble.
At this moment, Gu Mingxin also realized that she seemed to have made this girl angry.
But at the same time, she was also puzzled. Could it be that this girl hadn’t used her full strength just now?
A sense of fear suddenly surged into her heart, but the next moment, there was a surging fighting spirit.
This was the first time in Gu Mingxin’s many years of life that she had encountered a sword cultivator who was so frightening to her, but she was much more impressive than that idiot Feng Yudie.
“Hahahahaha——!! Ye Anping!!!”
Pei Lianxue’s eyes opened slightly, she clenched the spirit sword in her hand, gritted her teeth, took a breath, and shouted angrily:
“Don’t scream!!”
A burst of orchid spiritual light suddenly appeared on the silver spirit sword in her hand, and then it was instantly covered by ice crystals. She looked at Gu Mingxin silently, and after dodging Gu Mingxin’s sword swing, she turned around and struck a vertical blow. hack.
Swish——
A ray of ice-blue sword energy swept across the sky and the earth in an instant, carving a line of azure ice on the desert below, solidifying the remaining clouds that happened to pass by into a pile of ice stones, which suddenly fell.
At the same time, the right hand holding the bloody spiritual sword also appeared in front of Gu Mingxin’s eyes.
She didn’t even see clearly. She was stunned for a moment before she realized that her hand had been cut off by the girl.
“Mingxin!!”
Gu Mingxin took a deep breath and didn’t bother to listen to what Xue was shouting from above. She held the flying right hand with her left hand and immediately blocked the spirit sword in front of her neck.
Ding–
Sparks emitted from the sword. The spirit sword that Pei Lianxue swung toward her neck was blocked by her, but she did not stop. She grabbed another spirit sword that she had prepared by her side and prepared to attack from another direction to cut off her left arm.
However, at this time, a huge black shadow attracted her attention.
A huge black python emerged from the yellow sand about a hundred feet below, opened its mouth, and rushed toward her and Gu Mingxin.
Pei Lianxue frowned slightly, and immediately kicked Gu Mingxin in the abdomen with her whip leg, then grabbed a spiritual sword again, gritted her teeth, and inhaled——
“Ahhh-!”
The ice-blue sword energy turned into a curved arc and swept straight toward the python’s head below. When it touched its head, it instantly wrapped a layer of ice on the slippery black python, freezing it into a huge ice sculpture.
Xue couldn’t help but open her eyes wide when she saw Xue calling for A’mang from above:
“Ah?!”
But in just one breath, the layer of ice was shattered by the black python inside, and it continued to rush toward Pei Lianxue with its mouth.
Seeing that she couldn’t stop it, Pei Lianxue curled her lips slightly, leaned down, and rushed down, directly pouring all the dozens of spiritual swords left in her storage bag into the snake’s mouth, and then stepped on one of the spiritual swords to use its strength. She turned around and escaped by rubbing the snake’s body.
Pei Lianxue, who was hanging upside down in the air and falling freely, turned around to look at the black python, made a seal with her hand, stood on his chest, and shouted softly:
“Break!”
Almost instantly, in the black python’s body of nearly a thousand feet, countless sword lights drew arcs from the dark snake skin from the inside out.
The black python wailed and twisted a few times, then drew a parabola in the sky, dived into the yellow sand, swam in the sand, and fled toward the west.
Pei Lianxue looked at the sand waves it made several times on the yellow sand and suddenly realized that it was trying to lure the tiger away from the mountain. She quickly turned to look at Gu Mingxin, whom she had just kicked away.
However, both Gu Mingxin and He Jiming were gone.
All she could see was a bloody spiritual light with its back to her side, flying out into the distance…
Seeing Gu Mingxin run away, Pei Lianxue touched her storage bag and found that she had run out of swords. She immediately puffed up her cheeks and complained:
“Woo…”
Then she suddenly remembered Sect Leader Ye who had just been blown away, and quickly turned to look at Ye Ao again.
Seeing that he was protecting his body with spiritual energy and hanging well about three hundred feet away, Pei Lianxue breathed a sigh of relief. She went to Ye Ao, poked her head around to see if there were any injuries on Ye Ao’s body, and asked:
“Sect Leader Ye, are you injured?”
“…Ah.” Ye Ao came back to his senses, nodded blankly, and then looked at the two huge pits drilled by the black python on the yellow sand and the hole left by Pei Lianxue on the desert and swallowed, “I’m fine, but you, Pei girl…”
“I’m fine.”
“Oh… Well, then…”
“Senior brother said, don’t chase poor bandits, so we won’t chase them anymore…”
“Oh oh…”
Ye Ao touched the cold sweat on his head and suddenly felt a little ashamed. What kind of girl did his precious son raise?
But looking at Pei Lianxue’s dull face at this time, he calmed down a little.
This is his son’s wife! What is his father-in-law afraid of?
“Hiss–” Ye Ao took a deep breath, looked back at the 880,000 people hovering in the distance, put on the majestic aura of a leader of his group, stroked his beard, and said, “Then you go back to the crane first. Gather your breath and rest while I take you to continue looking for that Feng girl along the road.”
“Uh-huh?”
Pei Lianxue nodded. Suddenly, as if she saw something, her eyes lit up, and she quickly rushed down.
“Ah? Pei girl… Where are you going?”
Just when Ye Ao was confused, he saw Pei Lianxue falling on a dune. She knelt on the ground and dug up the sand, grabbed something, and flew back.
“Sect Master Ye, I cut off Gu Mingxin’s hand.”
“…”
“I’ll show it to my senior brother later…”
Ye Ao looked at Pei Lianxue holding a right hand, nodded hesitantly, and then took Pei Lianxue back to the back of the crane in the distance, riding the crane to continue along the route of Feng Yudie and the others.
…
