Chapter 340

Zhou Zhiruo's current strength had already reached the late stage of the Free Earth Realm, but she did not dare to be the slightest bit careless.

Don't look at the fact that the Golden-Haired Lion King was blind; if she were entangled by the other party, let alone stealing the Dragon-Slaying Saber, whether she could escape unscathed would be a problem.

So from the beginning,

Zhou Zhiruo never thought about snatching the Dragon-Slaying Saber head-on.

If possible, it would be best to get her hands on the Dragon-Slaying Saber without the other party noticing.

The only thing Zhou Zhiruo felt fortunate about now was that on this Ice Fire Island, besides the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun and herself, there was no one else.

So she did not have to worry about anyone ruining her plan.

Anyway, before setting off,

her Master had already told her that as long as Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang had reached the legendary Spirit-Wandering Mystic Realm, then their trip as major sects would most likely fail.

Even if Mount Wudang could not withstand the pressure in the end and wanted to reveal the whereabouts of the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun, her Master would find a way to secretly stop it.

Therefore,

she only needed to first investigate the specific location of the Golden-Haired Lion King Xie Xun on this Ice Fire Island, and then quietly wait for an opportunity.

After confirming once more that there was indeed no one in the vicinity,

Zhou Zhiruo immediately prepared to use her lightness skill to accelerate toward the center of the island.

However,

just at this moment,

accompanied by a sound of breaking through the air, a shadow appeared above her head.

"... Who!"

Zhou Zhiruo's heart tightened; she hurriedly drew her long sword and looked up in a panic.

Following that,

she saw a scene she would never forget.

She saw one man and two women, stepping on a flying sword, floating quietly above her with their clothes fluttering, as if they were immortals.

"You... who are you?"

Looking at the man who was looking at her with a smile,

Zhou Zhiruo's jade hand holding the long sword could not stop trembling slightly.

Jiang Chen did not speak,

but brought Long Er and Li Mochou down from the Executioner Sword to stand in front of Zhou Zhiruo; immediately after, the Executioner Sword turned into a stream of light and fell into Jiang Chen's hand.

Only then,

Jiang Chen smiled lightly and said, "Don't be nervous, we have no malice, but... your purpose for this trip is likely to fall through; I want the Dragon-Slaying Saber."

"You know me?"

Zhou Zhiruo was slightly stunned:

"How did you know I came to steal... look for the Dragon-Slaying Saber?"

Halfway through her sentence, she realized her wording was inappropriate, so she hurriedly changed it.

However, seeing Jiang Chen's half-smiling expression and the surprised gazes of Long Er and the other, she immediately looked embarrassed, and a blush instantly rose on her originally beautiful and elegant face.

"I don't know you."

Jiang Chen shook his head slightly, then said with a smile:

"But besides the Dragon-Slaying Saber in the hands of the Golden-Haired Lion King on this Ice Fire Island, I really can't think of anything else worth a young lady traveling thousands of miles to come here for."

After speaking,

before Zhou Zhiruo could speak,

Jiang Chen asked again, "Is the young lady from the Emei Sect?"

"Hm?"

Zhou Zhiruo was startled, then looked at Jiang Chen with vigilance.

She did not expect Jiang Chen to have guessed her identity; did the other party also already know the true secret of the Heaven-Reliant Sword and the Dragon-Slaying Saber?

Thinking of this,

the long sword that had already been put away was once again gripped in her hand. ===== CHAPTER 341 =====
