Chapter 1197: Chapter 1197: An Unexpected Strike

Watching the multitude of leaves flying towards him, even the Yamata no Orochi couldn’t help but pause for a moment.

Although he had never personally experienced the Ye Family Sword Technique, he had witnessed it a century ago and was certain that this move was not one of its traditional techniques, at least not in its original form.

It was vastly different in terms of Sword Intent and Sword Force, seemingly not from the same Sword technique at all.

Yet the attack from Ye Qingci was even more powerful in terms of its lethality compared to the strongest move of the Ye Family Sword Technique known to Yamata no Orochi.

Such a move, which seemed to force a change in destiny at any cost, was something one would normally expect only an Earth Immortal to be capable of.

But the Yamata no Orochi was well aware that the more powerful the technique, the greater the price that must be paid.

Glancing upwards, Yamata no Orochi said to Ye Qingci, "Girl, how many more times can you wield such Sword Force? Is it worth it for such a person?"

"What does it have to do with you?"

Ye Qingci couldn’t be bothered with the Yamata no Orochi and controlled the numerous flying leaves to smash towards it like a violent storm.

Yamata no Orochi had Kuronagi shield itself from part of the Sword Force with its body, temporarily halting its own attacks to personally neutralize the other half of the Sword Force, then coldly looked at Ye Qingci.

"After I leave here, I will face many enemies. I don’t wish to have another Ye Wujiang as an adversary, but that doesn’t mean I fear having one more Ye Wujiang."

Ye Qingci couldn’t help but laugh at the thinly veiled threat. Raising the Sky-splitting Sword, she softly pointed it at Yamata no Orochi and said, "Remember this, my name is Ye Qingci! Choosing to fight you is my own decision!"

"You yourself?"

Yamata no Orochi laughed briefly before taking another look at Ye Qingci, "If that statement came from the young man from the Long family, I might believe it somewhat. You? Hmph! But it doesn’t matter, stand your ground and face death, whether you represent yourself or the Ye Family."

Behind the figure in the black robe, a huge Dharma Body appeared in front of Ye Qingci for the first time.

Above the enormous coiled form on the ground, eight dragon heads of varying shapes all focused on Ye Qingci, each wielding pressure at the Hollowed Void Level. The eight heads exuded eight completely different auras from the Yamata no Orochi, making it hard to believe that they all originated from the same being.

Ye Qingci looked coldly at the scene before her, and, facing the pressure of the eight different auras, she indifferently said, "Yamata no Orochi, this form of yours is not fully realized yet, is it?"

"Oh? You noticed?"

The Yamata no Orochi was not surprised and nodded, "That’s right. In my current form, I am only a wandering spirit, and there is indeed a significant gap compared to my full power. But you must understand, the difference between an Earth Immortal and Hollowed Void Level is equivalent to two different worlds. Not to mention my not being at my peak, even a mere fraction of my power is enough to face you as an adversary."

As the voice faded, a cyclopean dragon’s head behind the elder suddenly gaped open, and a gigantic black fireball hurled towards Ye Qingci!

Ye Qingci instinctively wanted to counter with the True Dragon Technique, but another voice pre-empted her within her Sea of Consciousness.

"You can’t block it. I’ll handle this."

The moment the voice ceased, a shadow darted across the sky, and Long Xuan arrived on the back of his Sword Control, with three Peach Wood Swords in the form of True Dragon, Fire Phoenix, and Kylin, colliding with the black fireball!

All three Treasure Techniques were deployed, and yet, even so, they were instantly reduced to ashes in the face of the colossal black fireball.

Expecting this to happen, Long Xuan had his Daoism Method ready in advance, and a massive Tai Chi Bagua Formation emerged before him, barely managing to hold off the attack of the fireball.

"Long Xuan?"

Ye Qingci’s voice held surprise, not expecting Long Xuan to assist her at this crucial moment.

Facing Yamata no Orochi and also feeling the pressure, a drop of sweat trickled from Long Xuan’s forehead, yet his face bore no other expression. He simply said softly, "It would be troublesome for me if you died at its hands like this."

Long Xuan wanted Ye Qingci dead, but it had to be at his own hands, and in a one-on-one combat situation.

Only in this way could Long Xuan completely sever the thread of fate tied to Ye Qingci’s life; otherwise, this destiny would only be transferred to someone else.

It could be Ye Qingci’s brother, or it could be Su Chengyu, or perhaps it’s someone he’s entirely unaware of.

Having finally found the one hindering his entry to Heaven’s Gate, Long Xuan wasn’t keen on searching again.

"Are you confident you can deal with him?"

Ye Qingci asked.

"No, even if we joined forces, it would be futile,"

Long Xuan’s response was direct. Although he had great confidence in himself, that confidence stemmed from self-awareness.

Just as he knew Ye Qingci stood no chance against him, Long Xuan was even more certain that he wouldn’t stand a sliver of a chance against the Demon God, managing to stall even for a moment would already be the limit.

"What are you hesitating for? Don’t you want to save him? If you don’t act now, it’ll be too late."

Long Xuan urged.

He naturally hoped Ye Qingci would just walk away. Once Ye Qingci left, Long Xuan also had ways to escape from this land of entanglement. Then it would be enough to settle their victory or death later on.

However, Long Xuan had realized that Ye Qingci’s previous escape wasn’t for his own sake. Although he didn’t understand why Ye Qingci cared so much about Su Chengyu, he didn’t bother to ponder what he couldn’t comprehend.

The answer to a question would always appear when it was time to solve it, just like how he ultimately found Ye Qingci.

And although Ye Qingci, deep down, didn’t understand why Long Xuan would help her at this critical juncture, she didn’t have the luxury to consider much. Now was indeed the best opportunity for her to rescue Su Chengyu.

With a swift step, she leaped towards the area in the sky where Su Chengyu was located. Yamata no Orochi frowned upon detecting Ye Qingci’s action and immediately sent Kuronagi to stop her.

"Get lost!"

A Bodhi Leaf was swiftly unleashed. Although Kuronagi, being an Ancient Relic Species, was just newly ascended to the Hollowed Void Level, Ye Qingci’s sword wasn’t enough to end its life, but it was sufficient to force it back hundreds of meters.

Seizing this gap, Ye Qingci had already reached Su Chengyu’s side.

"Su Chengyu, are you alright?"

At this moment, Su Chengyu’s expression was extremely ugly. He wanted to say something, but the words reached his lips and not a single sound could be uttered.

Ye Qingci found something odd about Su Chengyu and, after a brief hesitation, immediately grasped the Sky-splitting Sword and said, "I’ll help you sever the connection with these stone walls, get ready to leave with me."

Not bothering with Su Chengyu’s current state, all Ye Qingci wanted was to quickly leave this accursed place with him.

However, it was at this moment when Ye Qingci was focusing on the stone walls that Su Chengyu’s voice finally echoed in her Sea of Consciousness.

"Aunt Ye, run!"

Hm?

Ye Qingci, sensing something wrong, instantly turned around. What appeared before her was a "Su Chengyu" with body emanating Demon Qi, his eyes having completely turned black.

Looking at the now-alert Ye Qingci, the Demon Qi-shrouded "Su Chengyu" slightly curved the corners of his mouth and said, "So that boy did manage to inform you? But alas, it’s too late now."

A hand chop acting as a blade, he aimed a heavy stab towards Ye Qingci’s abdomen, the strike piercing her body and inflicting severe damage upon her Primordial Spirit!
