Chapter 140 Jealousy

I watched as the cold light in my opponent's hands instantly enveloped my twin blades. I thought we would erupt into a fierce collision.

What I didn't expect was that a sound like fingernails scraping against the long blade suddenly came from my blade.

Zhu Ziyan was using soft power to dissolve my attack!

Before my shock had subsided, most of the saber energy in my hand had disappeared in an instant.

At that time, although I couldn't see my face, I was sure it had turned pale.

Because when I made my move, I had already used the supreme saber technique of "Man and Blade as One."

Although Man and Blade as One is incredibly mysterious and powerful, it also consumes the most true energy, especially damaging one's original essence. That seemingly indestructible saber energy would not last long.

Zhu Ziyan had accurately seized this opportunity and used trembling methods to constantly consume my true energy.

We only stalemated for a moment before my steps began to falter slightly.

With excessive loss of true energy, how could my face look any better?

Wu Yongsi chuckled and said, "Li Po, I have long heard of your great name!"

"You have a fatal flaw, which is being too bound by emotion!"

"After I swallowed the mountain demon, why didn't I let you take the initiative to touch the evil, but chose that girl? It was to contain Ye Yang!"

"He doesn't dare to fight recklessly, and neither do you! Because Zhu Ziyan is your Shiniang (martial aunt)!"

Wu Yongsi said with a sinister smile, "You must be curious as to why Zhu Ziyan is dealing with you, right?"

"I can tell you, it's for Qu Mo!"

"Don't doubt the relationship between Zhu Ziyan and Qu Mo. Killing her is like betraying your master and destroying your ancestors!"

Wu Yongsi's words suppressed the killing intent I had just raised.

At this moment, Zhu Ziyan suddenly launched an attack, the true energy in her hands coming like a tiger. Her ten fingers were like ten heart-piercing iron thorns, aiming straight for my vital points!

I leaned my whole body sharply to the right, and my twin blades suddenly drew a circle of light and shadow, slashing straight at Zhu Ziyan's head. However, the dazzling cold light in her hand suddenly appeared in front of me.

Before I could dodge, a three-inch-long gash opened on my chest with a "嗤" sound!

After succeeding, Zhu Ziyan launched another fierce attack on me.

My two moves were forcibly interrupted, and without follow-up strength, I could only turn to defense, and was forced into a disadvantage by Zhu Ziyan.

Wu Yongsi laughed and said, "Li Po, give up! She is your Shiniang, and she knows the moves Qu Mo taught you better than anyone else. She can interrupt your every move in advance."

"Now, even if I give you a chance to use the saber technique 'Past' that Qu Mo later created, you still won't be able to beat Zhu Ziyan."

"In this world, there are three people who can use Past: you, Qu Mo, and me!"

"Back then, when he used that saber technique against me, I saw the changes clearly. Before you came, I had already repeated 'Past' to Zhu Ziyan verbatim."

"She only looked at it once and found a way to crack it!"

Wu Yongsi continued, "If I had to say, Zhu Ziyan is the real Jianghu (martial world) person. There is not a single heroic figure in your Liangjie Tang (Two Worlds Hall)!"

"In the Jianghu, what need is there for emotion!"

"Emotion is the most useless thing in the world. It cannot satisfy hunger, cannot keep you warm, its value is less than gold and silver, its beauty is less than pearls and jade. Yet people forget life and death for it, which is simply extremely stupid."

Wu Yongsi said sharply, "Li Po, if you don't strike now, I'm afraid you won't have a chance."

"Get lost—" I roared in anger, unleashing several saber strikes, but they were all blocked by Zhu Ziyan.

Wu Yongsi thought he had me and Ye Yang cornered. What he didn't know was that Ye Yang in the distance had already launched a killing attack.

My shout of "Get lost" was filled with anger, shaking the wilderness and lingering for a long time. It also perfectly covered up the sword energy that Ye Yang unleashed.

In just that instant, the sky full of sword shadows that erupted from Ye Yang's hand attacked all targets with precision and ruthlessness.

The sound of metal colliding and breaking, like hundreds of hammers rising and falling noisily within a ten-meter radius, suddenly returned to silence in the blink of an eye.

Ye Yang retracted his sword and stepped back. The daggers that were broken by his sword energy were still scattered and falling in the air.

The opponents who were besieging Ye Yang a moment ago had all turned into a rain of blood.

From a distance, the limbs and flesh of the opponents were scattered all around Ye Yang, but no one could tell what shape these things originally were, or which part they belonged to.

Ye Yang reached out and grabbed the only surviving opponent from the grass, slapping her face hard a few times.

The other party's features gradually returned to Su Su's face.

Of the thirty-odd people besieging Ye Yang, there was only one real Su Su.

If it were anyone else, no one would dare to gamble on which of the thirty-odd people was Su Su? The probability was low enough to be appalling.

However, Su Su is a Qi Yun Gui Shen (Luck Ghost God).

With the blessing of Qi Yun (Luck), anyone can do this!

After slapping Su Su back, Ye Yang said, "How is Li Po's plan going?"

Su Su rubbed her face and replied, "Couldn't you be a little gentler? Being anxious about Li Po is no reason to hit so hard! Hey... what are you doing? Don't drag me away!"

ps: Li Po: Happy birthday to Zhu Su Su.

Ye Yang: Same here.

Old Miao: Likewise! Please give me a hand.
