Chapter 593: Zhenzhen's Flying Sword

Within the black sword qi, strands of an ominous, abyssal aura filled the air.

Zhang Yu sensed that wherever the sword qi passed, its life-extinguishing power seemed to cause even the spiritual mechanisms active in the atmosphere to enter a state of inertia as the sword qi spread.

And in the fierce series of clashes just now, the Profound Nether Oblivion Art, which Kuang Tianqing had used almost invincibly to block almost all attacks, now showed faint signs of cracking under the black sword qi's impact, even though it kept swallowing it.

"Not just the spiritual mechanisms—where the sword qi passes, even the gangqi and mana are beginning to dissolve..."

Zhang Yu exclaimed in alarm: "Is this the true power of the Ultimate Emotion Sword Dao?"

"This power... is simply the best method for attack and slaughter."

"We can win!"

"This strike! It can break Kuang Tianqing's Profound Nether Oblivion Art!"

Seeing this, Zhang Yu felt a surge of excitement, thinking that his earlier performance had not been in vain.

As it turned out, during the entanglement with Kuang Tianqing just now, in order to help Bai Zhenzhen further advance the power of the Ultimate Emotion Sword Dao, Zhang Yu had pretended to have been violated.

"As long as A Zhen's strength can increase further, even if I really am violated, what does it matter?"

Zhang Yu sighed inwardly: "Am I also being influenced by Kunxu's way of thinking?"

As these thoughts crossed his mind, Zhang Yu pushed all his military-grade power more fiercely, trying to lock Kuang Tianqing in front of him tight, giving her no chance to dodge Bai Zhenzhen's strike.

But just then, a subtle sense of discord surged in Zhang Yu's heart, a fine dissonance, as if something wrong had been overlooked.

"Why..."

Zhang Yu suddenly stared at Kuang Tianqing before him.

He finally found the source of this discordance.

Even though the Profound Nether Oblivion Art was gradually collapsing, Kuang Tianqing's face showed no trace of surprise, tension, or shock—any negative emotion.

Even the lewd expression she had worn while fighting him earlier was gone.

In Kuang Tianqing's eyes now, Zhang Yu could only see a deep calm.

Like an abyss that saw no bottom, no matter how hard one strained their eyes.

Seeing this, Zhang Yu's heart involuntarily sank, and a bad premonition arose: "Is there something we didn't consider? Where exactly is the problem?"

And the next moment, Kuang Tianqing said calmly: "After spending so long, you've finally broken through?"

"At least it wasn't a waste of all my effort."

"And thank you too, Immortal Trash."

Kuang Tianqing glanced at Zhang Yu as if looking at a dead thing, with none of the madness or lewdness she had shown before—as if everything earlier had been just an illusion, a dream.

Then, under Zhang Yu's shocked gaze, Kuang Tianqing suddenly withdrew the Profound Nether Oblivion Art she had been running, looked toward the source of the black sword qi, and said with certainty: "Bai Zhenzhen, you now have the qualification to be upgraded from a captive to my sword."

"I will use you to defeat Dao Qiankun."

In Kuang Tianqing's heart, she had never focused on the win or loss of the immediate battle.

Even the entire first team match, including the ranking of Demon Heaven University, was not the first priority in her mind.

There was only one goal in Kuang Tianqing's heart.

Win first place in the Top Ten League!

Although after her rapid surge in strength, she had strong confidence—having a seventy, eighty, or even ninety percent certainty of defeating all opponents and becoming the strongest among the top ten universities.

But no matter if it was eighty or ninety percent, it was still not absolute certainty.

"Is there a way?"

"Is there another method?"

"Something that can push my strength even further."

"Something that gives me absolute certainty, allowing me to suppress all my opponents and win the Top Ten League championship with overwhelming power."

Up until a month before the tournament, Kuang Tianqing had been constantly thinking, pondering, and searching for an answer.

And when she sensed the Ultimate Emotion Sword Dao within Bai Zhenzhen, Kuang Tianqing found that she had been inspired.

"Cultivators of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao are the finest materials for making flying swords."

"But under normal circumstances, with the protection of the Seven Emotions Divine Lord, I cannot possess them."

"Yet today, in this competition, even the Seven Emotions Divine Lord cannot stop me."

"This is my best chance to obtain Bai Zhenzhen and refine her into a flying sword!"

"And once I have this flying sword forged from a successor of the Extreme Emotion Sword Dao, no one in this arena will be able to stop me."

"My success rate in winning first place in the Top Ten Tournament will be... 100%!!"

Kuang Tianqing, harboring this thought in her mind, made finding Bai Zhenzhen her top priority upon entering the arena.

To that end, she sent out a notice in the group chats of the four schools: Heavenly Demon, Netherworld, Bone, and Harmony.

"Whoever sees Bai Zhenzhen, notify me immediately."

When Kuang Tianqing found Bai Zhenzhen and Zhang Yu at the first opportunity, a cheer seemed to ring out in her mind.

"Jackpot."
