Chapter 554

Over these years, he had finally stepped into the Heavenly Being Realm of cultivation.

The moment he struck, a long blade in his hand was wielded with domineering ferocity.

Even Mad Nie Feng could not take him down in a short while.

The two clashed fiercely, gradually battling their way up into the high sky.

The remaining Wu Lin onlookers watched, hearts pounding with fear, able only to stand below and look on.

Yet no one noticed that a strange person had walked over to the recently slain Shi Wu Zun.

Reaching out, he brushed a hand over Shi Wu Zun's body, and a wisp of black qi, invisible to the naked eye, rose from Shi Wu Zun's corpse.

It then poured into his own body.

After absorbing this wisp of black qi, the person's face flushed red, looking extremely excited, and he muttered,

"The Buddhist Blade is mine. Very good, very good!"

Above, the battle continued for a while longer. At this moment, Ming Jing, having heard the news, hurried over.

Seeing the city lord's residence turned into such a tragedy, and her newly accepted Sun Nu having died just like that,

she too was seething with rage. She raised her great blade once more and charged up into the clouds.

Although compared to the Human-Face Envoy, Ming Jing's cultivation was a major realm lower.

Yet her blade art, broad and sweeping, was in no way inferior to the Human-Face Envoy's blade art.

The two joining forces, Mad Nie Feng's offensive was momentarily stalled.

But Mad Nie Feng would only fight with ever-growing courage!

As time went on, Ming Jing was the first to be unable to hold out.

She only felt that Nie Feng, who had at most been at the Earthly Immortal Realm, was gradually entering the Heavenly Being Realm!

Such an advancement was almost like rising in a straight line.

Ming Jing barely managed to take two more strikes, then could take no more, and was kicked flying away by Nie Feng.

"Good! Such ruthless leg art exists in this world! I, Di Yi Qiusheng, have come to learn from you."

Just as Ming Jing was driven back, a person suddenly flew out from outside the city lord's residence. This person's blade art was so high,

it surpassed even the Human-Face Envoy's!

His cultivation had likewise entered the Heavenly Being Realm!

The moment he struck, together with the Human-Face Envoy, and Ming Jing who had returned once more,

the three joined forces and once more held their ground against Mad Nie Feng.

At this time, Ming Yue, who had been staying in the bridal chamber all along, finally heard the commotion outside and hurried over.

She was still in her wedding robes. The moment she arrived, she saw Senior Dugu Ming, whom she had just married not long ago, lying dead.

Ming Jing, the Human-Face Envoy, and Di Yi Qiusheng were the three fighting the mad Nie Feng together.

The next moment, she understood.

In her heart she felt a hidden relief — thankfully Nie Feng had killed Senior Dugu Ming.

But the Ming family's duty was to protect Wushuang City!

Right now, Nie Feng was making an enemy of Wushuang City itself.

After a moment's hesitation, Ming Yue returned to her room and took out the Wushuang Yin Sword.

She was just about to perform her sword art and join the encirclement of Nie Feng,

when Ming Jing once more could not hold out, and was kicked flying by Mad Nie Feng.

She happened to land right at Ming Yue's feet.

Having taken that second kick, Ming Jing's meridians were now completely severed; she could not survive.

Reaching out a hand, she stared hard at Ming Yue for a moment,

"Go, go get the Wushuang Yang Sword. Only when the twin swords are united and 'Mount Qingcheng's Love' is performed can Nie Feng be defeated…"

Speaking these broken words, Ming Jing turned her head and died on the spot.

Ming Yue was heartbroken, but she knew this was no time for grief.

She immediately followed Ming Jing's wish, returned into the city lord's residence, and went to find the Wushuang Yang Sword.

After she left, that strange person walked over to Ming Jing's side again, and once more, as before, drew off a wisp of black qi.

"Hehe! Using you, Ming Jing, for the Guan Blade is quite a fine choice."

After absorbing it, this person once more slipped back into the crowd.

Not long after, Ming Yue emerged, cradling the Wushuang Yin-Yang twin swords in her hands.

By now, whether Di Yi Qiusheng or the Human-Face Envoy, both were gradually unable to withstand Mad Nie Feng's attacks.

Ming Yue came out, and only then realized—

To unite the Wushuang Yin-Yang twin swords and perform "Mount Qingcheng's Love," didn't it require at least two people?

And those two people had to be in love with each other.

But in all these years, Ming Yue had never once been moved; where would she find a beloved?

Even with the Wushuang Yin-Yang twin swords in hand, where could she find a soulmate to perform "Mount Qingcheng's Love"?

Just as she was bewildered, the Human-Face Envoy suddenly darted down, snatched the Wushuang Yang Sword in one grab,

"Ming Yue, the survival of Wushuang City hangs on this very moment. Come with me!"

Saying so, he wielded blade in one hand and sword in the other, and once more charged at Mad Nie Feng.

From his words, he actually intended for Ming Yue and himself to perform "Mount Qingcheng's Love" together!

Ming Yue thought of it and could not help a shudder of disgust.

The Human-Face Envoy wore Senior Dugu Yifang's face, and was now at least several decades old.

She was as lovely as a flower, and now she had to perform the Dual Sword Union with this man?

Was he too confident, or was she a fool?

But knowing that Wushuang City was truly in crisis, Miss Ming Yue had no choice but to draw the Wushuang Yin Sword and charge forward.

The moment she rushed in, it became three against one.

Although they hadn't truly performed the Dual Sword Union, the Mad Nie Feng seemed to be somewhat restrained as well.

But once the blood of madness erupted within the Mad Nie Feng, he was terrifyingly abnormal.

Miss Ming Yue had only just charged in a short while, yet his strength had shot up another minor realm.

A leg shot out, aimed straight at the Human-Faced Envoy.

The Human-Faced Envoy immediately brought out both blade and sword, striking a stance as if ready to fight the Mad Nie Feng to the death.

Di Yi Qiusheng immediately seized the chance to get behind the Mad Nie Feng, ready to look for an opening.

Yet Miss Ming Yue was behind the Human-Faced Envoy, ready to support him.

Not wanting to wait for Nie Feng's attack, the Human-Faced Envoy suddenly withdrew, exposing Miss Ming Yue to the Mad Nie Feng's strike.

Miss Ming Yue didn't react in time and directly clashed head-on with the Mad Nie Feng.

But the Mad Nie Feng's strength was terrifyingly formidable—one leg's force sent Miss Ming Yue flying.

The Human-Faced Envoy ignored Miss Ming Yue and, taking advantage of the Mad Nie Feng attacking Miss Ming Yue, thrust his sword at his leg.

He didn't expect the Mad Nie Feng's leg to shudder violently, sending the Human-Faced Envoy's Wushuang Yang Sword flying out of his hand.

One after another, Wushuang City's experts fell in heaps of corpses and wounded; Miss Ming Yue was sent flying, and the Wushuang Yang Sword was lost as well.

The Human-Faced Envoy lost all will to fight and, ignoring the Mad Nie Feng, fled outright.

Without Miss Ming Yue and the Human-Faced Envoy, the Mad Nie Feng turned and attacked Di Yi Qiusheng behind him with full force.

"Hehehe! This fool really is timid as a mouse."

That strange man glanced at Di Yi Qiusheng, then immediately chased after the Human-Faced Envoy in the direction he had fled.

Miss Ming Yue was sent flying by a kick and crashed heavily to the ground, feeling as if her whole body was falling apart.

Just as she was about to try to get up, a graceful figure appeared before her.

"Take this pill—it can heal your injuries."

"Eh? Who are you?"

For some unknown reason, Miss Ming Yue looked at this beauty before her and felt an overwhelming sense of familiarity.

But no matter what, she couldn't recall when she had ever seen her.

373 Could it be that nowadays it's trendy to find women for the Great Dragon Head?

"Quickly take this pill to heal your wounds! Who I am isn't important."
