Chapter 582: Chapter 581: Out of Luck
The moment the white Sword Qi swept across, Shi Xiaole’s body broke out in goosebumps, a physiological sign of extreme danger. Countless azure Liuli Sword Qi’s covered his entire body, providing him with a solid defense.
Bang!
The Sword Qi easily shattered the outer layer of Liuli Sword Qi. The remaining six-tenths of its momentum was then weakened by silver-gray Vigorous Air and converted. Still, one-tenth of its force stabbed into Shi Xiaole’s body. He slightly shifted to avoid a critical part of his body.
"Plop..."
Blood mixed with fragments of his liver flew out, substantially weakening Shi Xiaole’s vitality.
Underneath the combined defense of Vajra Unbreakable Body and the Undying Seven Illusions, most supreme lords can’t harm Shi Xiaole, but this does not include Ji Morou.
The internal energy and sword techniques that Ji Morou practiced were both top-level mid-tier, in no way inferior to Shi Xiaole. After acquiring the power of the Heavenly Sword, her strength became unimaginable.
Most importantly, the True Meaning of Sky-soaring that she comprehended is one of the deadliest. In contrast, Shi Xiaole, neither of his two defensive martial arts, had dedicated defensive True Meanings strengthened.
"He has just been injured?"
Seeing that Shi Xiaole was only injured by this sword, Ji Morou was taken aback. Even the top talents in Tian State would rarely survive this sword.
"Fairy Ji, you will not be able to kill me with the mid-tier martial arts technique you possess."
Life and Death Dual Qi started to flow, Shi Xiaole’s injuries started to recover a bit, and he said coldly.
Ji Morou didn’t respond but kept stabbing violently with her sword, all the killing moves in her Flowing Light Sword Technique. What shocked her was that every time Shi Xiaole was seriously injured, he could recover a lot in a very short time.
After several times, no doubt her opponent was injured. But her strength has also been consumed by more than half.
"Hehe, Brother Shi, rest assured. Only the power at the Divine Barrier Realm can activate top-tier martial arts. I guess our Fairy Ji hasn’t learned it yet."
Ren Mengzhen was shooting snide comments on the side, occasionally attacking Ji Morou, significantly limiting the latter.
"Brother Shi, aren’t you seeing through it? This is the so-called ’righteous’ fairy. For her reputation, for the so-called righteousness, she can turn her back on you any time, utterly disregarding your previous efforts. The so-called ’righteous’ path is bullshit! Brother Shi, join the Dreamy Sect. Let us create a new Martial World!"
Shi Xiaole pursed his lips, not saying a word.
Ji Morou said coldly: "Witch. Morou now realized that she fell into your trap! Your deliberate smile was designed to provoke Morou to attack Brother Shi and create divisions, so as to make Brother Shi misinterpret the Righteous Path."
"Misinterpret? Do your actions need others to misinterpret?"
The two outstanding ladies not only fought relentlessly but also verbally fought against each other without yielding. During this process, Shi Xiaole was always watching coldly.
He could feel that Ji Morou’s killing intention towards him was getting stronger and stronger, even surpassing Ren Mengzhen’s.
Although Ren Mengzhen seemed to be protecting him, it all comes down to the Blood Sun Mediator. Her technique also had many reservations, clearly trying to put him in danger on purpose to make him submit to her.
In conclusion, both women cannot be trusted!
Shi Xiaole was fighting and retreating. Blood kept oozing from the corners of his mouth. With injuries piling up, he wouldn’t be able to hold on much longer.
"Brother Shi, if you die, Morou will protect the Wuling Villa for you."
Clang!
Another clash of swords, Shi Xiaole was sent flying. Even as Ren Mengzhen punched towards Ji Morou, she ignored it, and her sword quickly stabbed towards Shi Xiaole.
Horizon Returning Sword.
"No good, she is going all out!"
Ren Mengzhen changed her complexion, admitting her miscalculations. She quickly put all her strength and fiercely punched Ji Morou, whose body was glowing with dreamlike luster.
Blood dyed the white gauze on her face, but Ji Morou’s expression did not change. With the vast power of the Heavenly Sword, she flew into the air. Distance lost its meaning in front of her sword, and the horizon was merely inches away.
"Stop!"
Ren Mengzhen cried out, but it was too late.
The cold sword tip was getting larger in Shi Xiaole’s pupils, while the bleak Sword Qi enveloped him first. Continued defenses would only add to his injuries and eventually drag him to death.
"Seems like, I have to reveal it."
Facing a life or death crisis, Shi Xiaole did not have time to think and spurted the power of Demon Bone inside his spine.
Last time at the Daze Wall, Shi Xiaole’s Demon Bone developed a unique effect of storing forces for attack after absorbing the power of the Heaven-devouring Devil Bone. However, it would consume Vigorous Air, causing a decline in skills, so it has not been used until now.
But right now, he couldn’t care less.
Rumble!!
A torrential and pure, unstoppable terrifying force suddenly rose from Shi Xiaole’s body, coloring half of the sky above him dark gray.
This dark gray condensed into the sword and expanded to both sides, turning into a three-zhang long intangible sword edge. As Shi Xiaole’s hands swung violently, the three-chang sword edge slightly swept past as though splitting the void in half.
Sizzle!
Ji Morou’s white Sword Qi instantly crumbled under the direct impact of the dark gray sword edge and divided right in the middle. The sword edge was about to bisect Ji Morou at her waist, yet collide with a metallic sound.
Bang!
The dress was torn apart, and the black hair danced in the wind.
An exquisite body that could captivate any mortal man suddenly appeared in Shi Xiaole’s eyes.
Her smooth, silky skin was tightly drawn, absent any hint of pores. The perfect collarbone, stirring mountains, long and round thighs - each part of her seemed to be delicately chiseled, pushing the human imagination of beauty to the extreme.
The face, never shown to anyone before, was now finally visible.
The perfectly straight nose without a hint of curve, the slightly upward turned bowed lips, combined with her eyebrows and eyes to form a visage of divine beauty that no artist could ever capture.
Ethereal, noble - she seemed like a fairy under the moon, a single glance was enough to make one dizzy with awe, feeling abashed of one’s own appearance.
Shi Xiaole’s eyes swept over every inch of Ji Morou’s body, noticing a white silk band around her slender waist, from which a layer of light emanates, covering her whole body.
Presumably, it was this that had saved Ji Morou’s life just now.
The two women were absolutely stunned.
They could not have imagined what kind of force Shi Xiaole had exerted just now, possessing such tremendous power. Due to overwhelming shock, Ji Morou even forgot about her original purpose.
All she knew was that her pristine body and face, which had never been exposed before, were now exposed to their full view!
Ren Mengzhen dumbly watched all this, her whole body giving a brief jolt before she impatiently swung her fist towards Ji Morou’s head.
Sword Qi rushed back, Ji Morou smoothly evaded it. She being the leading disciple of the Pudu Peak, quickly came to her senses. She wrapped herself in white Vigorous Air to prevent prying eyes.
However, such a beautiful scene had undeniably been deeply etched into the minds of Shi Xiaole and Ren Mengzhen.
"Tsk, tsk, tsk, she really is the fairy that countless promising youngsters in Tian State admire, this skin, this figure, and this face... Brother Shi, can’t you memorize everything you look at? Why not sketch her down? If you have the chance, give me a copy so I can remember the stunning scene just now."
Ren Mengzhen giggled.
Fairy Ji knew that Ren Mengzhen was deliberately trying to upset her. However, she still momentarily hesitated, and, having already been hit by a punch from Ren Mengzhen, she almost got hit again.
"Fairy Ji, one way or another, you’re bound to get married. I hear several princes of our dynasty are quite fond of you, don’t worry, although Brother Shi was the first man to see your naked body, as long as we don’t tell, your future husband will never know."
Thud!
Coming at her forcefully, Ren Mengzhen’s punch finally hit Ji Morou. The white Vigorous Air dispersed and her entire face, including her snow-white collarbone, turned bright red – indicating not only embarrassment but also fury!
"My body is but a pile of worldly bones, nothing precious about it for Morou."
After repeated setbacks, Ji Morou’s body flushed as she looked at them, her eyes filled with killer instincts.
Ren Mengzhen’s gaze was okay, after all, they were both women, but Shi Xiaole’s gaze made Ji Morou’s skin crawl and the white Vigorous Air was of no help.
What’s been seen cannot be unseen.
The endless fury and resentment transformed into a soaring will to fight, a beam of white light hanging above Ji Morou’s head, forming into a sharp sword. The sheer force of the sword pierced the cloud layer above her head, constantly increasing, seemingly endless.
"Did she break through?"
The color drained from Ren Mengzhen’s face.
The opposing Skysoraring True Intent clearly exceeded the limit, subtly transforming into the Dao. Could it be that such unintentional humiliation actually motivated her?
"Brother Shi, this is the fourth form of the Streaming Light Sword Art that Morou has never comprehended, please advise me, Heaven and Earth Limitless Sword!"
Her tone was calm, as if she had forgotten everything before, but Ji Morou’s sword art let Shi Xiaole know that she remembered everything, she just turned it into a cold killing intent, venting it towards him.
A brandish of the sword light came, majestic and pure. In front of this sword, all things in heaven and earth seemed to lose their meaning, their brilliance stripped away.
Swish!
A silhouette manifested.
Ren Mengzhen stood before the sword. An unknown quality armor wore on her body emitted a light shield. The shield greatly slowed down the sword radiance, yet despite this, it was still faster than the Horizon Returning Sword, aiming straight at the distant Shi Xiaole.
Ji Morou’s composure was terrifying.
In such a situation, she was still able to accurately assess the situation, knowing that she could not kill Ren Mengzhen, and so, she directly targeted Shi Xiaole, throwing caution to the wind.
It seemed as if time had stopped.
Under the occlusion of the Sword Qi, Shi Xiaole could not even attack. The power of the Demon Bone was indeed profound, but it’s a pity that it was not the power of the Demon Bone itself. The continuous exertion only drains his own cultivation.
"I can’t die, there are still many places I haven’t been to, I haven’t yet savored the excitement of the Martial World."
"I haven’t found my parents yet, how can I die?"
All sorts of thoughts flashed through his blank mind and his rigid body began to regain strength. At the critical moment, the Life and Death Dual Qi in Shi Xiaole’s body began to operate at a speed far beyond the usual.
Boom!
First, the blue Sword Qi was shattered, swiftly followed by the Silver-Gray Halo. With a spray of blood, Shi Xiaole was directly hit by the sword and flew back.
Ren Mengzhen turned as pale as a sheet. Just when she thought Shi Xiaole was doomed, she noticed that there was a trace of invisible qi flowing from the heavens and earth into his body, transforming into his life force.
"I’ll remember this sword."
Taken back by the thrust of the Heaven and Earth Limitless Sword, Shi Xiaole retreated at a speed much faster than Ji Morou. With a wave of his long sleeve, a whistle sounded, and mist sprayed out, obscuring the vision of the two women.
By the time the mist cleared, there was no trace of Shi Xiaole.
This was Flower Mist, one of the Tang Sect’s Hundred Secret Weapons. After Shi Xiaole had exchanged it for the flying knife with Tang Ao, he used one in Lele City. This was the last one that he had used to protect his life successfully.
