Chapter 1193: Chapter 1193: Voice from the Shadows

Ye Qingci slightly furrowed her brows, holding the twin swords that flew back to her and not rushing to make a move.

In Ye Qingci’s eyes, there was no hint of retreat, and Long Xuan understood as much that she had not given up, but he was not in a hurry either.

With a wave of his arm, three peach wood swords positioned themselves beside Long Xuan as he looked down at Ye Qingci and spoke softly.

"Resistance is futile, you should be wise enough to understand that."

Ye Qingci coldly retorted, "Understand? To face a strong opponent and resign to fate, has this always been your approach to an enemy, Long Xuan?"

Long Xuan shook his head slightly, "You are not me."

Hearing this, Ye Qingci nodded, "You’re right about that, I am indeed not you. So do not use your perceptions to gauge my thoughts!"

As her words fell, Ye Qingci adjusted her breathing and once again charged towards Long Xuan with her sword.

"Drive the tiger."

The peach wood swords, upon receiving the command, left Long Xuan’s vicinity and struck straight towards Ye Qingci, who dodged the strike with a swift move and then purposefully moved towards another sword.

The Wolf Swallowing Sword, just as Ye Qingci expected, started moving the moment she dodged the first strike, carrying the Taoist Magic Symbol and smashing it toward her body.

Golden light flickered, and countless Thunder techniques accompanied the sword light, landing precisely on Ye Qingci’s inevitable path.

Yet, Ye Qingci was always one step ahead in predicting the point of the opponent’s attack, skillfully dodging the strikes and using the momentum to move even closer to Long Xuan.

"Turning offense into defense?"

Long Xuan’s seemingly strange remark was astonishingly precise.

The Ye Qingci in front of him appeared to be attacking, but she was mostly capturing Long Xuan’s movements with her Pupil Skill, skillfully neutralizing them after leveraging his own momentum.

This technique demanded extreme attention, as Divine Sense had to be stretched to its most tense, and any slip could spell disaster.

Yet during this process, Ye Qingci did not show any distraction and deftly dodged every assault, and in just a few moments, she was already in front of Long Xuan.

"Xuan Tian’s Gate."

Long Xuan made his move.

With those words, the prototype of the Eight Trigrams Taiji Diagram appeared in front of Long Xuan.

The central Taiji pattern spun, and the Yin-Yang halves of the Taiji symbols opened to both sides, and a huge beam of light burst forth from the symbols, completely engulfing Ye Qingci.

Su Chengyu’s pupils constricted as he watched this scene, and during his moment of intense nervousness.

Ye Qingci’s figure had appeared behind him at some point, and she coldly said looking at Long Xuan’s back, "Long Xuan, with such an attack, aren’t you underestimating others too much?"

Her icy words fell, and Dragon Slayer and Splitting Heaven flew out together, piercing straight towards Long Xuan’s back!

Thud!

The still Star Swallowing Sword appeared in front of Splitting Heaven and Dragon Slayer, and although it managed to block these Divine Artifacts’ momentum, it was continuously forced back.

After not moving a step since the fight began, Long Xuan finally leaped to a higher position.

The next second, Dragon Slayer and Splitting Heaven broke through Star Swallowing, instantly piercing through the space where Long Xuan had just been.

Long Xuan looked at the lingering sword lights in the air and blinked slightly, "Very good, to have such strength at the third level of Hollow Vacuum is indeed very commendable. If you can reach the Peak of the Void, you truly would be worthy of battling me."

Ye Qingci’s brow tightened, her recent move was one of her strongest, she did not expect to defeat Long Xuan completely, but she hoped to at least trouble him.

But to continue this way...

Is this Long Xuan?

Ye Qingci’s eyebrows were tightly knitted together, already sensing something ominous.

Long Xuan raised his hand and three Peach Wood Swords flew back to his side. He said softly, "The warm-up should be about right now, time to decide the victor."

"You say to decide and we decide?"

"I say we decide, so we decide."

As their words fell, both figures almost simultaneously sprang into action.

This time, there was no more circling around with techniques or probing with moves; they clashed fiercely.

Beheading Dragon Breaking Heaven entangled with the three swords, while Ye Qingci and Long Xuan faced off barehanded.

The True Dragon Technique was simultaneously employed, and the Phoenix Divine Art was like a shadow following its form.

Although only on the third layer of the Peak of the Void, Ye Qingci at this moment was not far behind Long Xuan.

"She will lose, you better run."

An ice-cold voice suddenly rang out in Su Chengyu’s mind. He instantly turned his head and saw Yihe Jiugui, who had temporarily ceased fighting.

As Long Xuan and Ye Qingci clashed, the two ninjas stopped their movements as well.

Although they did not understand why these two individuals from Xia Country decided to fight each other, they clearly were also curious about who would ultimately survive.

To put it accurately, who would die.

After all, the death of either person could greatly alter the situation in this Cave Heaven, causing their own positions to potentially shift as well.

Realizing the discrepancy between the two, Yihe Jiugui immediately opted to communicate telepathically with Su Chengyu.

He did not know the relationship between Ye Qingci and Su Chengyu, but he understood that if Ye Qingci died, Su Chengyu, who had previously helped Ye Qingci, would inevitably face death here as well.

Upon hearing this, Su Chengyu immediately looked up at Yihe Jiugui and asked, "Then what are you waiting for? Don’t you also want to kill Long Xuan? Aren’t you worried that the chance for ascension might fall into Long Xuan’s hands?"

Yihe Jiugui frowned upon hearing this sentence.

Without Su Chengyu’s prompting, he had also considered killing Long Xuan.

After all, this man from Xia Country was too outstanding, outstanding enough for Yihe Jiugui to see him as the biggest competitor for the chance of ascension.

But if there was a chance, would Yihe Jiugui stay his hand?

Since Long Xuan began fighting Ye Qingci, Yihe Jiugui’s gaze had never left them.

Yet, even with his keen observation, he had not discerned any opportunity to intervene.

Furthermore, it was not just Long Xuan; even if he wanted to launch a surprise attack on Ye Qingci, Yihe Jiugui could find no opportunity.

He thought that Shinazugawa Tengen on the other side was facing a similar situation; otherwise, there’s no reason this old man wouldn’t make a move against these two from Xia Country.

Seeing that Yihe Jiugui hadn’t responded for a moment, Su Chengyu spoke again, "Yihe Jiugui! If anything happens to Ye Qingci, don’t even dream about having a chance at ascension in this lifetime!"

"Mr. Su, do you see me as someone you can just order around at will?"

"It’s not about ordering, it’s a deal."

Yihe Jiugui coldly replied, "Mr. Su, I admit it’s hard to intervene in their battle, but attacking you right now would be extremely easy. What do you plan to trade with your life on the line?"

Su Chengyu, feeling the chill in the air yet devoid of any fear, retorted with a cold laugh, "Then why don’t you try making a move?"

Yihe Jiugui’s eyebrows furrowed, and just as he was caught in a dilemma, a voice suddenly rang out in his mind.
