Chapter 125

As the two swords crossed, the tip of the woman in red's sword snapped directly.

She retracted her sword and retreated, looking at Gu Hanyuan with a solemn expression.

"Divine weapon?"

"The sword is named Hero Sword. Please enlighten me, Senior."

Gu Hanyuan did not relax his mood at all.

He had originally wanted to shatter the opponent's sword into pieces, but at the last moment, she had retracted it, only snapping off a section of the sword tip.

But for an expert of this level, having or not having a sword tip didn't hinder killing.

"Hero Sword? It really is a good sword, but how much ability does the person using the sword have?"

Although the woman in red was somewhat surprised, she still maintained that indifferent appearance; after all, the gap in strength could not be easily bridged by a divine weapon.

Sure enough, during the subsequent exchange, the long sword in the woman in red's hand kept Gu Hanyuan from raising his head, while avoiding collision with the Hero Sword.

A casual sword strike could force him to abandon offense for defense.

Sure enough, a Grandmaster and a master were two different things; even if Gu Hanyuan had the exquisite "Mysterious Sword Art", it only brought her some trouble, but couldn't turn it into an advantage.

It was only because of the Hero Sword that he avoided clashing internal energy with the opponent, which allowed him to remain undefeated.

However, seeing that the woman in red hadn't used her sect's martial arts for a long time, Gu Hanyuan confirmed his guess.

However, seeing that she couldn't take down Gu Hanyuan after a long time, the woman in red changed her fighting style, turning to attack Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou instead.

This put Gu Hanyuan in a difficult position.

Although Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou were not weak, the gap between them and the opponent was too large.

And they were still suffering from the aftereffects of drowning, making it difficult for them to even dodge.

Gu Hanyuan was stabbed in the arm once again while trying to rescue Xiaolongnu, and he retreated with the weak Xiaolongnu, avoiding the woman in red's sharpness.

Fortunately, the woman in red did not pursue, but instead said leisurely:

"Junior, give up. Your sword art is indeed powerful; even I cannot easily take you down. But it is impossible to protect two women who have no power to resist. If you leave now, I won't make things difficult for you."

Xiaolongnu looked at the scar on Gu Hanyuan's arm, left while saving her, with heartache.

"Hanyuan, leave. You don't have to risk your life for us."

"Yes, Hanyuan. Leave quickly."

Li Mochou also walked out from behind Gu Hanyuan, unwilling to accept him using his life to protect her anymore.

Although the time of happiness was very short, confirming Gu Hanyuan's feelings was enough.

However, Gu Hanyuan pulled Li Mochou back behind him.

"Heh, if I can't protect the women I like, then what is the use of learning this martial art and having this sword?"

Xiaolongnu and Li Mochou both looked at Gu Hanyuan with teary eyes, thinking that if he wasn't willing to leave, they would live and die together.

The woman in red had a hint of a smile in her eyes, but her words were still very harsh.

"Even if you have the determination to risk your life to protect them, what can you actually do?" ===== CHAPTER 127 =====
