Chapter 204: Chapter 203: Leg Injury

"Sword Embryo..."

The renowned Sword Sect, Ning Lingshuang had heard a bit about it, but having lived this long, she clearly hadn’t had the fortune to witness it herself.

But with the Jiajia Cloud Platform competition imminent, to test a few moves against the true transmission of the Sword Sect for future precaution, Ning Lingshuang didn’t hesitate to showcase her most guarded skills for Tie Dan to see. Finally, the awakening of the opponent’s true transmission was at hand!

At this moment, her eyes flashed with white light as she focused her gaze,

But what was this move? A bamboo leaf? No, it must be a lethal strike concentrated with the gathered Nine Luminaries Sword Qi, amassing sword power at a single point!

But why was it green? A Returning Dust Sword Embryo? Wasn’t this person supposed to have the Divine Gang Purple Mist Body?

And it’s flying a bit slow, swirling as it comes over, no wonder he asked earlier if dodging was possible, one could evade with Escape Skill. But does it really need to be dodged...

However, seeing Tie Dan at this moment with a stern expression, eyes sharp, even pinching a formula to manipulate the Qi, focusing on steering that piece of Willow Leaf Sword Tip. Surely a formidable ultimate move, quite extraordinary.

Immediately, Ning Lingshuang dismissed her contempt, just in case, sweeping a Heavenly Pillar Sword Light over, striking a Star Shining Sword Light towards that leaf with a sword!

Hit!

Invalid!

The sword light vanished...

Ning Lingshuang’s brows lightly furrowed.

How could this be? Even if it couldn’t be shattered or pierced through, the sword light should have penetrated or deflected, right? Was it absorbed?

"Demon Suppressing Sword Qi!"

Her thoughts raced, all within a blink of an eye!

Ning Lingshuang swung her long sword, initiating another move!

She cast her sword, spilling blue-white True Qi! The sword Qi transformed into a horse! It became a form materialized by Xuanming True Qi, its mane covered with body-protecting Shangqing True Qi, a high-headed horse! Cloud Qi soared to the sky! Imposing! It charged straight towards that green leaf!

Hit!

Invalid!

The horse vanished... Just like the sword light before, it suddenly disappeared, leaving only a wave of icy Qi scattering silently into the world...

And yet, that green leaf, still silent, neither fast nor slow, darted in to pierce...

What exactly is this!

Amidst endless changes, it was now in front of her!

"Ha! Demon Suppressing Skill!"

Ning Lingshuang shouted angrily in a clear voice! Fighting Spirit surged once more! Shangqing Demon Suppressing True Qi fully erupted! Enveloping her entire body tightly in a Qi Cocoon as dense as falling nets!

Truth be told, she was truly remarkable; Tie Dan, despite his greatly diminished strength, could turn thoughts swiftly and respond with three consecutive moves, a rarity indeed! Given time, she would be an opponent worthy of a fight!

However, her current skills still fell far short.

Thus, Tie Dan remembered the words of Kun, sparing her life, pinched the formula, the black and green spiral twin swords divided in force, one thrown, one sunk.

Ning Lingshuang never saw the Black Sword, yet it effortlessly breached the Shangqing Qi Wall, narrowly skimming past her neck, throwing her beyond the Heng Mountain Realm boundary.

Then that green leaf, with a "ding" sound of metallic ringing, knocked the treasure sword Ning Lingshuang had thrust, tearing a corner of her skirt, and slashed a bloody mark on her thigh.

"Ugh!"

Ning Lingshuang felt her Qi Sea empty instantly, Qi Gong shattered, and she fell from the sky.

Then a figure floated in, catching her steadily in an embrace.

"Thank you for letting me win, Senior Sister."

Ning Lingshuang, gasping for breath, lay in Tie Dan’s strong and warm arms, speaking in a concentrated, indifferent tone,

"Junior Brother is indeed formidable, but this move isn’t from the Sword Sect, is it?"

"Mm, I haven’t learned a move from Honzan’s true transmission, it’s something I realized myself."

Tie Dan answered casually, turning to scrutinize Ning Lingshuang’s wound.

At this moment, the silk of her dress was cut open by the sword, revealing her long thigh, her skin like mutton fat snow, now wounded by the sword, nearly breaking the bone, blood pearls resembling broken strings of pearls rolled along the contour of her leg and hip, staining her dress a rosy hue, like red plum blossoms blown off on the snow.

Ning Lingshuang, looking coldly at Tie Dan who was staring intently at her thigh,

"Junior Brother, can you put me down."

"As long as Senior Sister is alright."

Tie Dan obliged, descending back to the Sword Fighting Platform, placing Ning Lingshuang down, then opened his mouth to draw back the Green Sword, sensing for a moment the direction the Black Sword flew off to, he fell silent for a time.

Unexpectedly, once the connection between the twin swords was severed, the Black Sword went out of control, seems he would have to retrieve it later... not really, actually, was there any need to retrieve it?

Tie Dan estimated the remaining Earth Spring in his meridians, realizing that using the Black Sword as ammunition, firing it two or three times, would clear his internal meridians, restoring his strength!

Good, indeed...

"Senior Sister, how are you feeling?"

Ning Lingshuang lay on the ground, unable to stand, frowning slightly,

"My Qi... True Qi has all been expended..."

Then she touched her injured thigh, couldn’t help but frown,

"My meridians are blocked, did you poison me?"

So it was indeed so, after all, it’s the Twin Sword Embryo, Black Sword breaking Qi and defense, Green Sword unparalleled in sharpness, and somewhat infused with Earth Spring, just injuring someone could seal their meridians.

Ordinary people wouldn’t know the secret book of Washing Sword and Guarding Spring like Tie Dan does, any scratch or touch would spell disaster. This move was indeed a killer against cultivators.

Tie Dan looked at Ning Lingshuang with her incessantly bleeding thigh, seeing the wound wrapped in black Qi, knowing she couldn’t heal herself with Qi Manipulation, the wound wouldn’t heal, even if forcibly stitched, the remaining Earth Spring in the meridians would be difficult to eradicate, thus he suggested,

"If Senior Sister trusts me, why don’t we return to the Yeqing Pond together, and I’ll help you heal?"

Ning Lingshuang’s expression changed instantly, her face turning cold as frost, coolly saying,

"Junior Brother, I have someone in my heart, and no intention of pairing with you, nor of dual cultivating with you."

"Oh?"

Tie Dan was stunned, subconsciously sniffing his clothes... Oh, indeed, the Earth Spring’s muddy smell hadn’t dissipated, probably interfering with the smell on him? This worked out well, spared him a lot of trouble.

"Rest assured, Senior Sister, I only wish to help resolve the sword power, no ill intent. By the Nine Heavens Xuan Nu above, if I ever harbor wrong intentions towards you, may I die under a thousand swords."

Ning Lingshuang saw Tie Dan’s earnest and sincere demeanor, swearing by the name of Xuan Nu, she felt slightly reassured.

Moreover, as a Qi Refiner like her, suddenly unable to use even a trace of True Qi, her Daoist Heart was shaken, biting her lip, she slowly nodded.

"Then pardon me."

So Tie Dan carried Ning Lingshuang, flying back into the White Dragon Pond, only to stop at the entrance of the Taihua Yeqing Pond.

From inside came the sounds of laughter and splashing. Tie Dan quickly halted. To avoid misunderstandings, neither here nor there, otherwise, it’d lead to a killing disaster...

Ning Lingshuang also heard it, helplessly saying,

"This Quenching Sword Pond has extremely high Spiritual Power, just soaking or steaming there for two hours can restore Qi throughout the body.

Those mischievous and lazy ones often come to soak here once their Qi is exhausted. Each one seeks a quick fix, utterly unwilling to practice diligently and harden their Foundation Establishment no matter how much they are told."

Tie Dan said,

"I have some knowledge in treating internal injuries from before, and don’t necessarily require such potent Spirit Veins, a secluded spot for healing will suffice."

Ning Lingshuang nodded,

"Take the fork to the left up ahead, there’s a hot spring spirit bath specially prepared for our mentors, now there’s no one in the mountains, so temporarily using it shouldn’t be a problem."

Truly, how fond of bathing is your sect...

This mentor’s exclusive bath is indeed a notch higher than public baths, aside from the Stone Chamber Spiritual Spring, there was a gleaming mirror-like White Jade embedded in the mountain body, making this Spiritual Spring Bath appear especially vast.

No, it’s just bigger, Tie Dan keenly sensed there was something unusual about this place, that White Jade seemingly a window to another world, possibly an entrance to some Cave Heaven Blessed Land, or secret realm of the sect.

Better not to intrude into the sect’s forbidden grounds, since Senior Sister Ning was also watching from the side, uh...

"Senior Sister..."

Tie Dan looked at the reflection in the White Jade mirror, only to see Ning Lingshuang had her back to him, undressing her robe, revealing a flawless body, he couldn’t help but say with helplessness,

"For healing, there’s no need to undress."

Then came Ning Lingshuang’s inexplicable voice from behind,

"What did you say? I haven’t undressed?"

You haven’t...

Tie Dan frowned, glancing behind at Ning Lingshuang who was sitting by the pool, examining her leg wound.

Turning back, he saw in the mirror, Ning Lingshuang, with a smiling face, spreading her arms as she walked slowly towards the Jade.

"Leave."

The wound on its leg had vanished.

"Quick, leave!"

Ning Lingshuang raised her head, her reflection in the Jade, then the person in the mirror charged out of the Jade and vanished.

Tie Dan was silent for a moment, turning to look, seeing the empty reflection of Ning Lingshuang in the Jade, she stood up slowly, smiled at Tie Dan,

"What’s the matter, Junior Brother, why do you look at me like that."

The wound on her leg had vanished.
