Chapter 1195: Chapter 1195: The Key Person

"Hmm?"

The unusual spiritual energy caused Long Xuan’s sword to deviate as well, and the Star Swallowing Sword, which should have pierced through Ye Qingci’s Primordial Spirit directly, went off its intended path, merely slicing through the body of Ye Qingci.

"Lucky you."

Long Xuan spoke coldly, recalling the Star Swallowing Sword.

And Ye Qingci, though wounded in the abdomen and with countless internal injuries, let out a cold laugh and said to Long Xuan, "Luck? Why don’t you say it’s fate now?"

Long Xuan frowned, his expression becoming even more serious, "I don’t like to joke."

"I’m not joking with you."

Ye Qingci said coldly, struggling to rise from the ground while clutching the Sky-splitting Sword.

Long Xuan took a deep breath and, sensing the strange fluctuations of nature’s spiritual energy around him, said calmly, "You don’t think that with these disturbances in the spiritual energy, I can’t kill you?"

"You’ve got a lot to say today!"

Ye Qingci retorted coldly, lifting her sword and charging directly at Long Xuan once more, "You keep talking about fate, about believing in destiny, but I, Ye Qingci, do not!"

Although she no longer had the assistance of the Dragon Slayer Sword, with one hand on the sword, Ye Qingci pushed the relentless Sword Momentum of the Sky-splitting Sword to its extreme.

With one person and one sword, there was no one in the world who couldn’t be cut down, no destiny that couldn’t be severed!

"Folding Leaves Picking Stars!"

This was a move Ye Qingci had used against He Mao Ichiro at the pinnacle of her Nascent Soul phase, where she had resolved to risk her life, just to fight for that glimmer of hope for Su Chengyu.

Even as Ye Qingci’s attention remained fixed on Long Xuan, she was acutely aware of what was happening next to Su Chengyu.

She could no longer delay, for if she waited any longer, even if she defeated Long Xuan, Su Chengyu would surely not survive.

She truly did not know what Jiugui intended to do, but once his goal was achieved, she had no doubt that Jiugui would kill Su Chengyu without a second thought.

Long Xuan watched this sword strike and blinked slightly, well aware that Ye Qingci had hidden moves she had yet to reveal, and he had been waiting for this very moment.

Looking at the storm of flying leaves before him, seeing the powerful Sword Intent contained within each leaf, Long Xuan finally began to understand why Ye Qingci was the one destined to hinder his ascension to immortality.

No matter how much Long Xuan internally scorned Ye Qingci, he had to admit it at this moment.

"In the third level of Hollow Vacuum, I was inferior to you. But the you of now, is inferior to me."

As his words fell, three Peach Wood Swords stood beside him.

Driving Tiger, Swallowing Wolf, Killing Star, the three legendary swords of Mount Longhu, remained unaffected by the strange storm in this world.

As Long Xuan’s Dharma Seal was cast, the three swords followed different trajectories, cutting through the light and speeding towards Ye Qingci.

This sword would decide not only victory and defeat but life and death as well.

Long Xuan truly believed in destiny, but since coming here, his purpose was to cut off his own fate, to defy the heavens and change destiny!

The Peach Wood Swords tore through the sky of flying leaves, and amid such a storm, Long Xuan’s swords were unstoppable, piercing straight through.

Ye Qingci’s sword was dominant, with pure Sword Intent, but wasn’t Long Xuan, who lived a proud life, someone who stood on the peak of the mountain?

Compared to the days when he fought the two great Demon Clan heroes, how could Long Xuan, standing alone at the peak, be any less remarkable?

Bang!

With a loud collision of Mana, the three Peach Wood Swords converged and completely shattered the numerous flying leaves before them; their force instantly locked onto Ye Qingci, who stood behind the leaves. They raced toward her, and in an instant, they pierced through Ye Qingci’s figure!

"Hmm?"

The Peach Wood Sword pierced through the body, and indeed, there was no sign of life in Ye Qingci’s body before him, but Long Xuan had sensed something off in the split second just before.

It wasn’t the feedback of the sword technique that was odd, but a subtle intuition of Long Xuan’s that made him feel something was amiss.

A mistake?

Where?

Countless questions flashed through Long Xuan’s mind, but before he could find an answer,

a fierce Sword Intent burst forth from the other side!

Leaves fluttering in the sky transformed into stars above Su Chengyu’s head, locking onto their target. The leaves, now swift as shooting stars, invaded towards Yihe Jiugui!

Long Xuan’s pupils constricted, his gaze shifting to the figure beside Su Chengyu. The primordial spirit form of Ye Qingci had somehow appeared behind Su Chengyu, and with an embrace, she intended to whisk Su Chengyu away!

A fake?

Long Xuan stood in shock, staring at the Sword Momentum generated by the separate Dragon Slayer Sword, unable to comprehend how Ye Qingci managed this feat.

Using Splitting Heaven to create momentum and deceive his eyes, then the true swing of the Dragon Slayer Sword came from Su Chengyu’s side.

The Sword Momentum was real, but the sword technique was fake?

Or was it all real? Long Xuan was momentarily puzzled and couldn’t come to a definite answer.

But one thing Long Xuan understood: from the very beginning, Ye Qingci had no intention of fighting to the death with him; she just wanted to rescue Su Chengyu!

Long Xuan was internally shocked, but Long Xuan, already steps behind, realized it was already too late to make a move now.

The leaves, turned into a sky full of starry Sword Light, descended towards Yihe Jiugui, who, also failing to notice this Sword Intent, had to hastily halt his moves to deal with the incoming Sword Light.

In that instant, Ye Qingci had already fled with Su Chengyu, covering hundreds of meters. Su Chengyu, held within Ye Qingci’s arms, was shaken to the core.

As the master of Dragon Slayer, he was the first to realize what Ye Qingci was doing, yet even so, he couldn’t understand how she managed to wield the sword there and let the Sword Momentum fall here.

To know this was not just about acting simultaneously on both sides, but also deceiving those invincible eyes below Earth Immortal, Long Xuan’s.

"Aunt Ye..."

"Shut up! Keep hold of that precious armor! That thing is still causing trouble!"

Ye Qingci replied coldly, her condition not ideal, but now was not the time to worry about herself.

Long Xuan could catch up at any moment, and she also sensed that the one who had been hiding in the dark had made their move.

"A splendid sword stroke indeed, fitting as the final dance at curtain fall. But to think of taking this guy away, isn’t that a bit of an overstatement?"

With a mocking tone, the Black-robed Demon Clan member who had previously clashed with Ye Qingci suddenly appeared in front of the two, blocking their path.

Ye Qingci, frowning at the Demon Clan member before her, said coldly, "Was it you who instructed Yihe Jiugui to act?"

The black-robed elder smiled slightly, "Instruct is an overstatement, I merely informed him how to manifest what he desired."

Ye Qingci gazed at the mysterious black-robed elder and demanded sternly, "Who exactly are you?"

"Just an ordinary Demon Clan member who failed in transforming into a dragon. As for a name, I had one long ago, Yamata no Orochi."

Su Chengyu’s pupils shrank, and Ye Qingci, too, felt an immediate sense of threat and was about to summon the Sky-splitting Sword.

A powerful aura instantly locked onto Ye Qingci, rendering her immobile, increasing her tension.

"Relax, I don’t want you dead just yet, you’re not important. The key person right now, is him."

Yamata no Orochi’s words slowly settled, and then his gaze landed on Su Chengyu, cradled in Ye Qingci’s arms.
