Chapter 228: 169. Making a wedding dress for someone else!
Blood, trickling down bit by bit.
The Si Shuang Sword, still advancing inch by inch, but the momentum of being unstoppable, the certainty of hitting with every strike, had been worn down to nearly nothing.
As the saying goes, persistence can grind an iron rod into a needle, and now Jing Lixue's earth-shattering strike was sharpened into a needle by Tian Liuli's body of flesh and blood, acting as the whetstone!
Hiss—
As the sword blade slowly penetrated through her body bit by bit, the originally snow-white tip of the sword was now completely dyed red.
Jing Lixue watched the scene in silence, sighing inwardly.
——Is this as far as it goes?
There was a hint of reluctance in her heart.
As the Master of Yin Peak of the Sword Sect, Shi Ruoyu's status and position were, in a sense, certainly enough.
But in the end, she still didn't manage to force out the presence of an elder at the Return to Void stage.
If an elder of the Return to Void stage had appeared and backed her identity, that would have truly put her on equal footing with the Eight Sects.
But now, let it be.
So be it then.
Just as she thought this, high in the sky, the Si Shuang Sword, originally inching across Tian Liuli's body, suddenly stopped at a certain moment, as if it had achieved a certain purpose.
"What is this...?"
With a heart full of shock, Shi Ruoyu looked up, only to see a figure who had, unknown to her, already taken hold of the sword, allowing all the fierce Sword Qi to rush towards him.
The fierce Sword Qi cut through his palm, leaving trail after trail of blood.
The cold frost froze his warm blood, hanging icy lace upon his brows.
Xu Yuan, oblivious to all this, gently drew the Si Shuang Sword from Tian Liuli's body.
"Enough, right?"
He said softly.
His voice was as tender as a lover's caress, yet filled with countless rage.
The Si Shuang Sword let out a sword cry as if provoked to anger.
"I said, enough!"
In that moment, boundless Spiritual Power broke free of its restraints.
Xu Yuan looked at her indifferently, his extremely calm gaze bringing an almost boundless sense of fear and awe.
Shi Ruoyu felt an incredibly terrifying intent to kill.
What's the difference between Outer Domain Demons and humans?
Always having slain countless demons, Shi Ruoyu, who couldn't even count how many times she had heard demons wail, for the first time entertained this thought.
"White Tiger, heed my command!"
Xu Yuan, unaware of her thoughts, didn't care about what she was thinking either.
Roar!
In a daze, a shocking tiger roar thundered across the entire imperial city.
Xu Yuan's one hand still tightly held the Si Shuang Sword, the other arm wrapped around Tian Liuli's soft, blood-stained waist, his expression ice-cold.
As the Spiritual Power within was unleashed, the Spiritual Power of the entire world once again came under his control.
Under his killing intent, the sky turned gloomy, the clouds heavy as if the earth, slowly pressing down.
Human's murderous intent, heaven and earth upheaved!
Shi Ruoyu could feel the killing intent of the world converging on her, as if she were the true Heavenly Demon.
"In that case..."
If it were only so, it would still be far from enough.
Not every person's anger is powerful in this world.
Just as she raised her fingertips, gathering Spiritual Power, ready to tell the young man before her about the harsh reality of the world.
She was shocked to see that the sky... had suddenly changed.
It was as if the entire world was enraged by the young man's anger.
When a sovereign is enraged, corpses lie in millions.
In that moment, Shi Ruoyu, for some reason, thought of this saying.
"Azure Dragon, heed my command, Vermilion Bird, heed my command, Xuanwu, heed my command!"
As the young man's calm voice spread out, the sound of wind mourned, the Cloud Sea churned.
The next moment. Discover more content at My Virtual Library Empire
A thunderous roar, like relentless waves crashing ashore, echoed through the entire world!
Lightning fell like a torrential downpour, branches of silver lightning like the Heavenly Gods' massive Thunder Spears hurled down, stabbing deeply into the ground, from afar looking like Dawn City had sprouted a vast Thunder Forest.
Everyone was dumbstruck by this spectacle.
In that moment, they clearly recognized what true wrath of heaven and earth was!
"..."
As the target center of the thunderstorm, Shi Ruoyu was equally shaken by the sight before her beyond compare.
As the strongest Cultivator on the surface of this world, she hadn't felt threatened for a long time.
However, now...
She sensed a thick scent of death on the massive Thunder Spears that were hurling towards her.
If mishandled, she would die!
Even though it was a display of power through the Four Divine Formation by the young man before her, it still left her immensely shaken.
The Si Shuang Immortal Sword in Xu Yuan's hand suddenly trembled with a mournful cry, as Shi Ruoyu began to stimulate her mind, trying to retrieve it.
For her, a cultivator of the Sword Dao, the difference between having a sword in hand and not was quite significant.
But...
Xu Yuan was clearly aware of this as well.
"Once a shot is fired, it becomes difficult to take back."
He was expressionless, allowing the sword blade to sink into his palm, embedding between bones, gripping it firmly in place.
The blade and bone rubbed against each other, emitting a pitiful cry, his entire palm nearly fracturing under the sharpness!
Yet, Xu Yuan showed no signs of letting go.
Seeing this, Shi Ruoyu felt a growing chill in her heart.
For the first time, she felt fear coming from someone younger than her.
But at this time, she had no time to worry about the Si Shuang Sword anymore.
For the massive array of Thunder Spears arrived in an instant, carrying the might of heaven and earth as they ruthlessly struck down upon her.
