Chapter 780: Chapter Four Hundred and Eighty-Nine: Demonstration_2

Xiulun’s sword technique seemed to have developed a problem; he lost the meticulous control of strength he had earlier.

Contrasting with his earlier display, which resembled a graceful sword dance, every clash of blades between Xiulun and Xu Changge now resulted in a huge, deep crater in the paddy field!

Is this... loading off force?

Whenever Xiulun’s blade approached, Xu Changge’s sword would shift at a subtle angle, diverting the massive force to the side.

Realizing this, Xu Yuan’s eyes unconsciously grew serious.

He seemed to have misunderstood his elder brother.

But the problem was, even if Xu Changge could temporarily hold his ground against this iron-clad can with the power of Integration Body, he couldn’t break the stalemate because his cultivation of Integration Body was simply not enough to penetrate Xiulun’s defenses.

Moreover, Xiulun was only using ordinary sword moves at the moment and had yet to employ powerful sword techniques and secret techniques...

If it were Xu Yuan, he could avoid it with Step Void Slash, but how would Xu Changge deal with it?

"Your brother is really strong,"

As he pondered, the crisp, pleasant voice of O’Reilly suddenly came through: "To be entangled with Xiulun for so long while suppressing his own strength."

At her words, Xu Yuan looked back.

O’Reilly stood leisurely in the same place, her beautiful and flawless expression unchanged, even carrying a hint of interest in her eyes.

She watched Xu Changge battling with Xiulun and spoke with a hint of admiration:

"It turns out that there are those within your Imperial ranks who can match the Crown Prince, truly an ancient and mighty Empire."

Xu Yuan snickered:

"You’re talking about my brother?"

O’Reilly’s gaze slowly returned to Xu Yuan’s face, her lips curved in a smile:

"My eyes haven’t gone bad. Given your similarities in appearance, if you’re not brothers, could you be father and son?"

Xu Yuan’s expression was non-committal, sizing up the golden-haired woman’s calm demeanor:

"You don’t seem panicked at all?"

Golden color in O’Reilly’s eyes lowered slightly, carrying a touch of annoyance:

"Since your brother is confident enough to use me as your whetstone, he should also be confident in controlling the overall situation. What’s the use of panicking now?"

At this, O’Reilly lifted her beautiful eyes that shimmered with a deep blue luster like stars:

"And besides, your intention is to capture me alive, isn’t that right, Changtian young master?"

Xu Yuan wasn’t surprised that she had deduced his identity; after all, Xu Changge’s recognizability was indeed too high. He smiled lightly and said:

"You’re announcing my identity like this? If you’re not talking, you might have a slim chance of escaping from me and my brother tonight, and the pursuit might not be too intense. But by revealing this, if my father learns of it, he will definitely send even stronger people to hunt you down.

"Is this akin to giving up on escaping from Dayan?"

O’Reilly tilted her head, her tone carrying a helpless nuance, staring at Xu Yuan:

"Changtian young master, see it from my point of view. Speaking out is also a kind of probe; if the probe is successful, then there’s still a way out."

Xu Yuan laughed upon hearing this and pointed at himself:

"You mean to take me alive?"

O’Reilly nodded with a smiley face:

"Naturally."

Xu Yuan exhaled softly:

"It seems you’ve gathered quite a bit of information during your days in Di’an City, even some about the internal affairs of my family."

As he spoke, Xu Yuan glanced down at the Willow Ghost Blade in his hand:

"I’m curious, which influential figure in Di’an City have you convinced to cooperate with Xi’en?"

O’Reilly smiled gently, her ample bosom wrapped in her gothic low-cut gown quivering slightly:

"You just need to capture me and interrogate me deeply to learn the answer, don’t you?"

Xu Yuan was completely unmoved by her beauty, staring at her chest with a smile:

"Are you trying to seduce me?"

"No, although Changtian young master is also very handsome."

O’Reilly shook her head sincerely, looking at Xu Yuan earnestly, "I’m more enamored with your elder brother."

Xu Yuan chuckled aloud, his smile mocking:

"Then you can try. I’m a person who pities fragrance and cherishes jade, but my elder brother..."

"Be careful, your Highness!"

Before he could finish, a low Xi’en warning interrupted the exchange between Xu Yuan and O’Reilly, echoing in the endless fields under the moonlit night.

Xu Yuan’s gaze didn’t leave O’Reilly, and even as he conversed with this Xi’en princess, his spiritual vision was always monitoring the situation with Xu Changge.

At the source of the sound, Xu Changge’s blade once again clashed with Xiulun’s.

And at the same time, a furious gale quickly gathered upon Xiulun’s treasured sword, its might nearly trembling the earth.

It seemed to be some kind of sword technique.

Under this sword move, Xu Changge’s expression remained calm, still employing the technique of redirecting force, but it was clear that he could no longer completely deflect the overwhelming power.

In an instant, the endless gale tore several cuts through Xu Changge’s already slightly dishevelled green clothes, and the blood that seeped out instantly stained the front of his garment red.

Just as Xu Yuan thought his older brother was about to release the suppression of his cultivation, a sudden change occurred!

Threads of green Sword Qi began to emerge from the thick silver armor covering Xiulun, binding him for a moment like thousands of slender ropes.

And it was precisely in this moment that the explosive force of Xiulun’s gale sword technique caused Xu Changge’s figure to become a residual image, flying backward...

The direction of his rapid retreat, after Xu Changge’s subtle adjustment to redirect the force, was exactly where O’Reilly was!

"Hum——"

A hundred zhang distance passed in a flash.

In that split second, Xu Yuan saw a fine ripple on the Three-foot Green Blade in Xu Changge’s hand.

At the same time, as if activating some pre-arranged spellcraft, a pale blue Formation Pattern immediately appeared in front of O’Reilly’s neck.

Standing still, O’Reilly also slowly turned her gaze towards the figure flying backward towards her.

For the first time, with the cultivation of the Integration Body and under Xiulun’s protection, Xu Changge approached this Xi’en princess.

Ten zhang.

Three zhang.

One zhang.

The blade swung.

The magic circle formed.

Then,

"Clang!"

The sound of metal clashing came as the magic circle formed in front of O’Reilly’s neck blocked Xu Changge’s sword.

Looking at the impassive Dayan man close at hand, a smile emerged on O’Reilly’s seductive red lips.

Unfortunately, just as the smile appeared, O’Reilly’s exquisite expression suddenly froze.

She suddenly felt a chill around her neck, as if some liquid was sliding down into the softness wrapped by her ceremonial dress.

A circular wound had quietly appeared on her neck.

Not deep, merely a superficial injury.

But the scent of death suddenly enveloped her.

O’Reilly looked down at the blade that was blocked outside the magic circle.

The Three-foot Green Blade hadn’t touched O’Reilly’s skin, but she had indeed been injured.

And,

The eerie fluctuation on that blade had not dissipated.

In other words,

If the Dayan man in front of her wished, he could take her life at any moment with that eerie sword technique.

After a moment of silence, O’Reilly tilted her head back to look into the eyes of the tall man standing before her, her pupils conveying a certain greed, her delicate tongue gently licking the corners of her crimson lips:

"Xu Changge, I want you, come be my prince consort, my only prince consort..."

"Slap!"

A loud slap landed directly on O’Reilly’s exquisite and beautiful face, the power unleashed from the release of the suppressed cultivation sending O’Reilly flying backward.

Xu Changge straightened his slightly disordered clothes, casting a glance at the foreign woman caught by Xiulun, his voice carrying a cold murderous intent:

"Just now, why did you not assist your Armored Warriors in taking action?"

As he spoke, Xu Changge saw the unusual look in her eyes, and then he gently shook his head:

"Enough, let it be."

Sheathing his sword, Xu Changge turned his gaze back to Xu Yuan, his voice suddenly soft:

"Changtian, you have seen now. Under equal conditions, your brother can find a way to break the deadlock, unlike you, waiting for death.

"Perhaps you are not a genius, but your brother believes in you, believes that you can at least defeat that woman."

As his words fell,

a brief silence descended upon the boundless plains.
