Chapter 469: Two Souls in One Body

Looking at the yellow-clad woman whose expression kept changing, Murong Wuzhu could not help but ask, "Tonghuang, what exactly is going on here?"

Yu Liancheng smiled and said, "I once read a book on physiognomy in the Tingchao Pavilion. Although it was a fragmented copy, it recorded the thousands of aspects of all living things. As the saying goes, extraordinary people have extraordinary aspects; the one before us has the Heavenly Human Aspect that Daoist True Persons drool over, and also the Dragon Concubine Aspect that the Esoteric Joyous Dual Cultivation dreams of. It is not impossible for one person to possess both aspects; it is more likely that she has two souls in one body."

"This red bead is the Li Pearl that the Great Qin Empress held in her mouth when she was placed in her coffin eight hundred years ago. It is also a rare treasure. It can be used to borrow Qi for longevity, and it can also suppress the other soul."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Murong Wuzhu nodded as if she had realized something.

"I'm going to kill you!!" While the two were talking, Yu Liancheng repeatedly put the Li Pearl back into the woman's mouth and took it out a dozen times. He did it tirelessly, as if a child were playing an interesting game.

Taking advantage of the moment the Li Pearl was taken out again, the woman let out a sharp cry, her black hair flying, and she pulled back to break free from Yu Liancheng's control.

Her beautiful eyes were bloodshot, and she looked at Yu Liancheng, gnashing her teeth.

Her entire body was shrouded in a murderous aura that felt almost tangible, concentrated to the extreme, as if the surrounding air had been churned by the killing intent into a thick paste.

Her delicate hand pressed onto the hilt of the ancient sword "Green Waist" hanging at her waist. This sword is one of the three famous swords treasured by the Sword Mansion for four hundred years; it is rumored that the sword patterns resemble nine green snakes, and when placed in water, they appear like living creatures.

"Go to hell!!"

Amidst her sharp shout, the woman's yellow robes fluttered, and a sword light, agile as a dragon, soared out from the scabbard. The sword light was chilling, casting a ghastly white glow over the night sky. The fierce and swift Sword Qi was like the Heavenly River pouring backward, scattering everywhere.

Crack! Crack! Driven by the Sword Qi, the packed floor of the backyard emitted a continuous sound of shattering, cracking inch by inch like a dense spider web.

This sky-high killing intent and fierce Sword Qi were truly too astonishing; the other merchants in the guest rooms were all startled awake, their expressions changing in secret, clicking their tongues in wonder.

They were all people who had traveled far and wide and were well-informed. Some had even crossed paths with Second-Grade experts, and had seen First-Grade experts from afar.

But for the Sword Qi to be this terrifying just by leaking through the gaps in the windows was simply unheard of and unseen. Could this be a top-tier expert above the Martial Evaluation?

Yu Liancheng, however, seemed to feel only a breeze brushing his face, not worth a sneer.

Swish! As the woman lunged with the Green Waist sword, the blade whistled in the air, causing the roof tiles to fall with a clatter, like firecrackers going off. The sword light was like a wild goose in flight, and the indestructible Sword Qi spat out from the blade, making one feel a chill from the soles of their feet to the top of their head.

"Wuzhu, watch closely, this is the true Heavenly Demon Great Art."

Yu Liancheng did not retreat but advanced, taking a step forward.

The Heavenly Demon Force Field was activated, and the air in the surrounding space seemed to be drained away; even the unextinguished lamp in the guest room tilted toward him and quickly went out.

With a flick of his sleeve, he easily deflected the woman's long sword, which had lost much of its power due to the Heavenly Demon Force Field, as if brushing away a speck of insignificant dust.

The woman was not discouraged; her figure turned, light as a startled swan, drifting like floating clouds.

Swish, swish, swish! Another series of sword strikes were thrust out, the air boiling like boiling water, launching an attack as swift and violent as a storm.

Yu Liancheng's waterfall of black hair flew, his whole person faintly carrying a trace of indescribable evil and allure. His sleeves flew out, striking like a spirit snake; the offensive was fierce and treacherous, yet hidden with countless secret killing moves.

In an instant, yellow shadows flickered and sword light crisscrossed; the two had already exchanged dozens of moves.

Clatter! Dozens of gullies crisscrossed the ground, the floorboards were completely shattered, and sword marks were dense.

The backyard guest room was also teetering on the edge of collapse; the merchants were like frightened birds, shivering, and many had already fled through the back door. There was no need to join in on this kind of excitement, lest they be caught in the crossfire.

The yellow-clad woman panted slightly; in the previous exchanges, she had been the one launching the fierce attacks.

But her opponent was truly unfathomable, and his methods were extremely mysterious, as if he could block her attacks in any unexpected way. The occasional counterattack made her flustered.

And being in that strange force field, she was constantly being interfered with. Pushed forward, pulled backward, tugged left, dragged right...

With her Great Heavenly Phenomenon strength, although the influence was subtle, for experts like them, a single moment of negligence could decide the outcome.

What was even more terrifying was that this force field could even cut off Heavenly Human Induction. Her Qi was being consumed rapidly without replenishment; if this continued, she would undoubtedly be defeated.

If the force field of that girl in white was a deep pool, she, as a Great Heavenly Phenomenon expert, could stand in the pool as safely as a mountain.

Then this man in black was a vast ocean, with undercurrents surging and waves crashing. When he truly became angry and stirred up ten thousand acres of waves, even the Sea-Calming Treasure would be overturned.

The yellow-clad girl was very decisive; she tapped her toes and swept onto the roof ridge, breaking free from the influence of the Heavenly Demon Force Field, and frantically absorbed the power of heaven and earth to replenish the True Qi in her body.

"You use a sword, and it just so happens I use a sword too. Why not take a look at my Flying Sword?" Yu Liancheng kept his left hand behind his back and slapped out with his right hand across the air.

With a splash, the water vat in the corner of the garden shattered. A mass of accumulated water floated in mid-air, spreading out into a transparent water screen.

"Go!"

Yu Liancheng pointed his fingers like a sword and slashed forward.

The water screen turned into thousands of water droplets, shooting toward the yellow-clad girl. In the process of flying, they constantly deformed and twisted, turning into slender water swords, crystal clear, yet spitting out sharp Qi, appearing even sharper and more pointed than ordinary blades.

With a sharp whistle, the overwhelming water swords flew toward the yellow-clad girl.

The yellow-clad girl's expression changed slightly; her wrist turned, and the Green Waist in her palm danced wildly, turning into a brilliant ball of light, protecting her entire body without a single gap.

Bang, bang, bang!! The sharp swords slammed heavily into the sword light and exploded instantly. A continuous sound of explosions rang out, and each water sword contained powerful Sword Qi, scattering and venting in all directions, setting off a hurricane in the entire courtyard.

And every time a sharp sword exploded, the brilliant ball of light dimmed by a fraction.

Under the bombardment of the storm-like attack, the sword light finally collapsed.

The yellow-clad girl was blasted into the courtyard wall; holes and gaps immediately appeared in the wall, and it fell apart, collapsing in large sections.

At this moment, the entire inn seemed to be trembling, and the huge roaring sound echoed endlessly in Yanhui Pass.

After a round of sword rain, the entire courtyard wall had completely collapsed.

It also kicked up a large amount of smoke, blocking the line of sight.

"Tonghuang, did you kill her?"

Murong Wuzhu showed a slight look of unbearable pity.

Even though this woman was acting crazy, she did not want Yu Liancheng to kill anyone because of it.

What's more, with two souls in one body, the other person was always innocent.

"Rest assured, I didn't."

Yu Liancheng said calmly, "This woman has the strength of a Great Heavenly Phenomenon; she could even put up a fight against an ordinary Land Immortal. She won't die that easily."

Swish!

Sure enough, as the dust settled, a stream of light suddenly streaked toward the direction where Yu Liancheng was.
