Chapter 695 - 695 49 Qingming_2
695: Chapter 49 Qingming_2 695: Chapter 49 Qingming_2 The two streaks of sword light that should have disappeared in a flash suddenly halted.
“Lu Daoist Friend.”
A young man from the Jiang Family, holding a lantern, spoke in a deep voice, “Did you find anything?”
“…”
Lu Yuan, the current senior disciple of Baihua Valley, let out a gentle “hmm” and said, “I think I just saw someone?”
After speaking,
She looked towards the bushes near the mountain gate, with a serious expression.
The grass stirred.
A wild fox jumped out and disappeared.
“Maybe I saw it wrong.”
The young man from the Jiang Family was initially a bit nervous, thinking it was an Evil Cultivator lurking around.
Seeing the fox jump out, he let out a huge sigh of relief and quickly comforted, “There’s no need to worry too much.
The two Inspectors have set up a large formation at the foot of the mountain.
If any enemy dares to intrude, the formation will respond immediately!”
Lu Yuan murmured a faint “hm”.
She released her Divine Thought, scanning the bushes carefully, finding nothing unusual.
It seems she indeed saw it wrong.
The two streaks of sword light gradually departed.
In the shadow of the bushes, a thin silk net floated up with the wind.
Sitting in the bushes, Xiao Qi slowly stood up, stretched lazily, and remarked with a smile, “Senior Sister Lu’s intuition is really sharp.”
“…”
Yuan Yi looked at the piece of silk net, thoughtfully, “Junior Sister Xiao’s treasure is quite impressive, it can actually shield against the Senior Sister’s Divine Thought perception.”
After Hong Jing was succeeded by Lu Yuan, she received full support from the sect, and her cultivation level advanced rapidly.
To shield against this Divine Thought…this silk net at least has to be an Eighth Grade Treasure.
“Does Senior Sister like it?”
Xiao Qi smiled as she displayed the silk net, “I heard that Senior Sister has retrained the ‘Green Vine Chapter’ at the Chen Mansion…if you hand over the sword moves to me, this treasure will be yours.”
Yuan Yi nodded with a smile, and in the next moment, directly drew her sword.
Siiii!
A streak of sword light tore through the cold night, its momentum extremely fierce!
Xiao Qi calmly stepped back, slightly tilting her head, the Sword Qi grazed her cheek, cutting off a strand of thin hair.
“Senior Sister, this is not the ‘Green Vine Chapter’…”
Xiao Qi sighed gently, seriously correcting, “This is the Thorny Chapter.”
“Is that so?”
Yuan Yi retracted her sword edge, looked at the girl in front of her, and said with a blank expression, “You have just joined the sect for half a year, they are the same for you…
Anyway, both are sword moves you haven’t cultivated.”
Before the words fell, the Sword Qi struck again.
A streak of white sword edge pierced through the long night—
Xiao Qi lightly laughed as she extended her hand, grasping the sword edge, stepping back, but not retreating in the direction of Zhanjiao Mountain, instead pulling Yuan Yi, retreating towards the direction away from Round Turtle Mountain.
Earth and rocks crumbled along the way, mud splattering everywhere.
After being dragged for several dozens of yards uncontrollably, Yuan Yi gritted her teeth, forcibly retracting her sword, shaking her wrist, causing the Reed Sword edge to bend abruptly.
“Clang!”
Yuan Yi took a step forward, tightly gripping the hilt, thrusting the long sword into Xiao Qi’s embrace.
The sword tip being pinched, the sword blade bent and folded, finally producing an extremely crisp sound, a phantom of green vines suddenly appeared!
Xiao Qi released the sword tip, leaning backward and sideways, dodging the sharp Sword Qi.
“Excellent…
this is what I wanted to see…”
Xiao Qi folded her arms, slowly resuming an upright posture, and with a smile, said, “I heard you can summon thirty-seven green vines with a single sword, but there was only one just now.
Is this the result of Xie Zhen’s guidance in your cultivation?”
“One or thirty-seven, there’s no difference.”
Yuan Yi’s expression remained calm, breathing heavily.
She looked down at her trembling wrist.
The exchange just now, though extremely brief, Yuan Yi was well aware… their realm was fundamentally on different levels.
This Xiao Qi was at least an entire major realm higher than her.
Maybe even more.
“You don’t need to cultivate the swordsmanship of Baihua Valley at all.”
Yuan Yi said faintly, “Why bother becoming a disciple, and why bother calling me Senior Sister… you are really condescending.”
“That’s not how to say it.”
Xiao Qi reached out to smooth her sideburns, seriously saying, “I heard the ‘Flame Flower Style’ of Baihua Valley is extremely breathtaking, capable of unleashing incredible power beyond your current realm, even the Sword Palace Master of Da Sui Sword Palace highly praises it as a top-notch sword move…
I originally wanted to cultivate diligently until I mastered the ‘Flame Flower Style’.”
“Then you need to learn for a long time.”
Yuan Yi sneered, “Currently, only a few in Baihua Valley have mastered the ‘Flame Flower Style’.”
This is Baihua Valley’s ultimate sword move.
Unless one has exceptional talent and comprehends it on their own…
otherwise, to obtain the lineage, at least the Yin God Realm is required, and one must have a very high status.
Even Ye Qinglian needs a few more years before she can observe the ‘Flame Flower Style’.
“Yes…
I know it will take a long time.”
Xiao Qi said regretfully, “Maybe I can’t wait for that day, if you are willing to play dumb, then we can still return to Zhanjiao Mountain, pretending nothing happened.”
“Do you take me for a fool?”
Yuan Yi said coldly, “Since you’ve decided to lure me out of the mountain… how can you let me go back easily?”
“…”
Xiao Qi was silent for a few moments, then said with emotion, “By rights, anyone who can say such words should be a smart person.
But if you were truly smart, seeing through my intentions, why would you leave Zhanjiao Mountain?”
She originally thought tonight wouldn’t go so smoothly.
Previously, during their heart-to-heart talk, Yuan Yi earnestly warned “never leave Zhanjiao Mountain”.
Unexpectedly.
Later, under the pretext of sparring, she invited Yuan Yi out, and it went smoothly, this little girl was even willing to hide under the silk net treasure with her, avoiding the Patrol’s notice.
“Just wanted to see your intent.”
Yuan Yi exhaled a murky breath, straightforwardly said, “Do you want to kill me?
Or seize my body?”
“…”
Xiao Qi fell silent again.
Quietly unfolding her Tao Realm, their earlier exchange had dragged Yuan Yi dozens of yards away, far from the direction of Round Turtle Mountain foot, but it wasn’t safe yet… The next moment, a strong wind suddenly arose, silent gales surged in the night like tides, that thin as a cicada’s wing silk net flew high, expanding, until it completely enveloped their location, replacing the night sky, forming a new dark Heavenly Peak.
