"You've come..."
Blade could sense that the demonic energy was surging, and that both soul and flesh were trembling and wailing.
Yes, that's the feeling!
Kafka, who was half a step behind Blade, did not help him suppress the demonic energy this time, but let Blade release this emotion.
"It's time to pay the price!"
With a ferocious laugh, he dragged the shattered ancient sword hanging diagonally on the ground toward the blue-clad figure.
"..."
Dan Heng sighed inwardly, his expression blank: "I've said it many times, my name is Dan Heng, and I have nothing to do with your past."
The man in black covered his eyes and let out a maniacal laugh:
"Do you think that by changing your appearance and name, you can erase all your past sins?"
With a slight forward lean, the swift crimson sword light reached Dan Heng in front of him.
"I will make you feel the pain of death! Danheng!"
Unexpectedly, Ren attacked directly. Dan Heng reacted instinctively and drew his Jiyun Spear.
Clang!
Sparks flew, blocking what seemed to be a fatal sword strike, but it turned out to be a feint.
With a sidestep, Ren delivered a powerful kick to Dan Heng's abdomen, sending the blue-clad figure flying backward.
"Cough cough..."
Danheng covered his stomach with his hand and squatted on the ground.
"Prepare to die... huh?"
Ren intended to press his advantage, but suddenly stopped in his tracks.
A streak of icy light pierced the air, accompanied by a sharp whooshing sound, and precisely pierced between Dan Heng and the blade.
"Wanted criminal, you still dare to commit murder and evil deeds on the Immortal Ship! With me here, you won't be able to kill anyone today!"
Yanqing stood on an old stone pillar, arms crossed, head raised.
"whispering sound!"
The disturbance during the handling of past grievances greatly displeased Ren, and the released demonic emotions made his eyes reveal a fierce glint.
"Jingyuan's lackey...didn't your general teach you to assess the situation and act accordingly...?"
The fragmented ancient sword glowed with a dark red light, as if it were a sinful sword just drawn from hell.
The sword blade slashed diagonally upwards, the remaining crimson arc of light spreading in mid-air as sword energy slashed towards Yan Qing.
Yan Qing's expression changed. While defending with his sword, the blade vanished without a trace. He turned his head and shouted to Dan Heng:
"Hey, be careful!"
"Wow, it's so lively here!"
The sudden sound of a girl's voice, accompanied by a crescent-shaped, extremely cold sword aura piercing the air, forced the charging blade back, leaving a minor, not-too-serious wound on his chest.
The blade, forced back, did not immediately launch another attack, but instead looked down at the rapidly healing wound on its chest.
Having been tainted by the flesh and blood of the divine messenger, he could recover from any injury he suffered. Therefore, he had long been accustomed to the pain brought by battle, and he was too lazy to defend against or avoid minor injuries.
The point isn't the injury, but this sword strike... it feels so familiar!
"This feeling, it can't be wrong, it can't be wrong..."
He suddenly looked up in the direction of the sound, but he didn't see the figure he expected. Instead, a completely unfamiliar girl in a white dress was standing in front of him.
Ren frowned, a look of confusion on his face.
No?
Is that not true?
Danheng, Yanqing, and Kafka all turned to look at the newcomer, surprised that someone would actually appear here.
Kafka frowned slightly; something seemed off about the script…
"Miss Su Chang? What are you doing here!?"
Yanqing exclaimed in surprise.
Because of the Xuanyuan Heavy Sword, Yanqing and Sushang became acquainted. As a reward for the sword, Yanqing also guided Sushang on the key points of her daily sword practice and learned about her strength.
He was considered one of the best in the Cloud Cavalry, but he wouldn't stand a chance against the Star Core Hunter, a serious criminal!
"Get out of here quickly, it's dangerous!"
"It's okay, I'll be fine."
Yuehen gave Yanqing a friendly smile.
"Who are you!? That woman... what is your relationship with that woman!?"
The sound of the blade was like the roar of a wild beast.
Such familiar swordsmanship... the girl in the white dress must be connected to that person!
"How dare you! Which woman?"
Moonhen suddenly raised his voice.
“Mirror...flow…”
He gritted his teeth, his killing intent palpable.
"Oh, Kagami Shōryū, we are master and disciple."
Yuehen placed Ruoshui Shen behind her back with her hands behind her back and said with a smile.
Both Li Sushang and Jingliu are ice-attribute, so it wouldn't be too difficult for Li Sushang to slightly imitate Jingliu's sword intent given her level of skill.
"Mirror Style! Master and disciple? How is that possible?"
Yanqing's expression changed drastically.
Jing Liu's chilling sword strike, which seemed to freeze people forever, left a deep impression on Yan Qing!
After receiving that sword strike, he immediately reported the matter of the mysterious older sister to the general and learned that the other party was actually his master's master, the former Sword Master of Luofu!
How could she possibly be Su Chang's master?
Then wouldn't Su Chang become his master's aunt?
"Master and disciple... Master and disciple... Haha!"
Blade covered his head and laughed wildly.
He never expected that people would appear one after another to interrupt his feud with Dan Heng, and he never expected that the woman's disciple would appear here!
"When she taught you swordsmanship, did she ever use her sword to cut off your limbs? Did she ever painstakingly sever and pierce your nerves inch by inch?!"
Having previously released his emotions, Blade has now begun to fall into demonic darkness, with countless phantom pains and negative emotions emanating from his body. These are the pains left behind when Jing taught him swordsmanship, inflicting a hundred deaths upon him.
Unforgettable!
"Kafka".
Suddenly, without turning his head, he shouted.
After a two-second silence, Kafka's eyes shimmered with a purple, shimmering light: "Yes, Blade, [listen to me], release yourself from your restraints."
"Come, fight me!"
Ren, now in his "Konjac Delight" state, burst into loud laughter, seemingly insane. He abandoned Dan Heng and instead attacked Yuehen.
"Let me see if your sword can grant me death, just like hers, and give me a moment of relief!"
"Is this the manifestation of demonic possession?"
Li Sushang was shocked by the state of the blade.
She sensed something when she fought Kagami Ryu earlier, but Kagami Ryu was already suppressed by Sora at that time, so it wasn't noticeable.
And Blade is even crazier than a madman.
Li Sushang, wielding the Ruoshui Divine Sword, deflected the blade's attacks.
Blade's swordsmanship is naturally inferior to Mirror Style. In terms of swordsmanship alone, Li Sushang, who is slightly better than Mirror Style, would not have difficulty receiving Blade's sword.
The clanging of metal as it was handed over was deafening.
"I only said that Kagami and I are master and disciple. Why do you think Kagami is your master?"
Taking advantage of the lull in Li Sushang's clash with the blade, Yuehen canceled the auto-battle and jumped out to correct her with a serious expression.
"I said, is it possible that I am the master and Jingliu is the disciple?"
"?"
"??"
As soon as he finished speaking, even the blade that had been half-fallen into demonic darkness stopped its attack and couldn't help but frown.
For the first time, Dan Heng's expression changed, and he looked surprised.
That woman/Mirror Stream's master?
Yanqing was bewildered after 'Su Chang' displayed the sword technique of suppressing the blade.
what happened?
How did Su Chang suddenly become so strong?
Is this still the same novice swordsman who couldn't even hold a sword properly?
Sword... wait, that's not the Xuanyuan Heavy Sword, it's another divine weapon.
Yanqing's attention was drawn to Ruoshui.
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Blade's voice was both frantic and chilling.
impossible!
Absolutely impossible!
The swordsmanship master who taught that woman has long since passed away. How could he possibly still be alive in this world?
Ren sensed no signs of age or weariness from the girl in the white dress; she radiated youthful energy. But then another problem arose.
After dozens of rounds of fighting, Ren could sense that the girl's swordsmanship was no less than his own.
He ran the shattered sword across his wrist, letting the blood flow freely and coat the blade, before transforming it into a terrifying crimson sword aura and unleashing a fierce slash—
Business prospects are bleak!
"Such a heavy aura of bloodlust and killing intent."
Li Sushang raised Ruoshui Shen, ready to unleash her sword energy.
Wait, I'll do it, you help me.
Moonshadow switched control, her fingers forming a sword, and she touched the azure sword blade entwined with dragon shadows.
The shimmering icy light rapidly elongated along the path of her fingers, creating icy patterns that covered the Ruoshui Divine Sword.
"This beautiful scenery is something I long for but cannot have..."
With that soft chant, Yuehen leaped into the air like the rising moon, raising his sword and slashing down at the top of the blade with the force of a falling star!
"Yet, I can invite you all to enjoy it together!"
The dozen or so crescent-shaped icy sword energies that erupted bloomed like lotus flowers, slicing through the blood-red sword energy.
"?"
Hearing these familiar lines, even the Blade in its demonic state felt an indescribable sense of unease.
"Blade... Drinking Moon... Heh, there are quite a few familiar faces."
Before the blade could shake off its awkwardness, a cold voice rang out, instantly silencing the scene and causing the temperature to drop again.
