Chapter 592

"Huh? How has the Sword Realm opened again?"

Just as Chi Xue hesitated, a graceful figure suddenly appeared at the entrance to the Sword Realm.

"You are 'Dongxue' Lu Xueqi?"

Seeing this figure, Chi Xue immediately recognized her.

Although Lu Xueqi had not yet appeared on the Heavenly Dao Hundred Flowers List, she had already made the Heavenly Dao Gold List, and because she was the first to open the Sword Realm,

countless factions had scrambled to gather intelligence on her.

The Xuanhua House of You Dongying and the Wu Tian Inferno of Yunzhou both had intelligence on Lu Xueqi as well.

Combined, it was no surprise that Chi Xue recognized her.

"Who are you?"

The newcomer was Lu Xueqi herself; she stepped out of the Sword Realm entrance, her back bearing a precious sword engraved with Dongfang Canglong.

With a casual slash, the Sword Realm entrance—previously opened by the battle intent of the eight masters of the Senluo Liuhex Array—slowly closed.

"This…"

Chi Xue was speechless.

Lian Chengzhi had sacrificed immensely to open the Sword Realm, for the Thousand Autumns Sword Intent.

Yet he never imagined that at the final step, not only did he see a Sword Realm unlike any other,

but Lu Xueqi casually closed it with a single sword stroke.

"The Sword Realm is vastly different now. You mortals should not open it on your own."

Lu Xueqi understood Chi Xue's intent, but she didn't care; after a brief reply, she flew away on her sword.

With Lu Xueqi closing the Sword Realm, the Senluo Liuhex Array below shattered immediately.

The six men of Xuanwu Jun collapsed from exhaustion, and Lian Chengzhi suffered severe backlash, clutching his chest as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

Seeing the beautiful woman who emerged from the Sword Realm speak two words to Chi Xue before flying off on her sword,

Lian Chengzhi, furious, roared upward:

"Xue'er, what are you doing?"

"That bitch ruined our You Dongying's grand plan—why didn't you kill her…?"

Under Lian Chengzhi and Gao Chao's manipulation, all factions of You Dongying had united to orchestrate this plan.

Yet no one expected that at the final step, it all came to naught.

Chi Xue hadn't even entered the Sword Realm before the woman who emerged from it casually sealed the entrance.

Who could bear this?

"Ha! This little Japanese devil is doomed!"

Emperor Wenlong, freed from pressure, regained clarity in his battle spirit; seeing Lian Chengzhi ranting above, he couldn't help mocking:

"What's doomed?"

Seeing Ao Jue, unaware of Emperor Wenlong's meaning, asked curiously.

Above, Chi Xue, hearing Lian Chengzhi's words, turned pale.

Though she didn't know Lu Xueqi's strength, she could tell that anyone emerging from the Sword Realm—that terrifying battlefield—

must be far stronger than herself!

After all, she herself dared not even enter, while Lu Xueqi had come out of it!

The next moment, Lu Xueqi, who had already flown away, suddenly returned to the sky.

"Bitch?"

"How dare a worm like you speak so insolently!"

"Very well! Let me, representing the Qinglong Society, teach you a lesson!"

The Nine Heavens' Dark Abyss transformed into divine thunder. The glorious heavenly might, summoned by the sword!

Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art!

The sky, which had just begun to calm, surged violently under Lu Xueqi's control.

The celestial and terrestrial energies roared in turmoil; thick layers of dark clouds gathered above Bai Long Creek.

Countless thunder dragons and lightning serpents writhed among them.

As Lu Xueqi spoke her final word, those thunder dragons and lightning serpents instantly coalesced into a colossal divine sword.

Descending from the heavens, it plunged straight down into Bai Long Creek—at the cliff-top where Lian Chengzhi stood!

"This…"

Lian Chengzhi was stunned. Was this Divine Sword Controlling Thunder True Art really something a mortal could wield?

Not only was he now drained of half his strength from the Senluo Liuhex Array, his cultivation was also depleted by more than half.

Even in full vigor, he doubted he could withstand this sword strike.

Was his imperial ambition, his Baye, truly ending now?

"Your Majesty, the Japanese Devil…"

The six masters below the cliff were frozen in shock.

Not only was this woman, who looked like a fairy, capable of such a terrifying attack,

but now, besides gaping in disbelief, none of them could move.

Only Xuanwu Jun, relying on iron will, roared and leapt into the air,

charging toward the giant sword forged from divine thunder.

Behind him, a faint shadow of a black tortoise gradually formed, then followed his fist as it

collided with the monstrous thunder sword.

This was Xuanwu Jun, burning his own martial Dao conviction, his own battle-heart, battle-intent, and even his life, to unleash the strongest punch.

Rumble rumble rumble…

A heaven-shaking roar!

The Xuan Turtle phantom collapsed in an instant; beneath that god-punishment-like divine thunder greatsword, Xuanwu Jun was directly pulverized, body and spirit both annihilated.

But the battle-intent he had transformed at the cost of his life had finally consumed the greater part of the divine thunder greatsword's power.

In the end, the divine thunder greatsword reached a spot not far above the sky of Bai Longxi and dispersed between heaven and earth.

Silence!

A death-like stillness!

Because of that god-punishment-like sword, the entire Bai Longxi fell into a hushed silence.

Lu Xueqi saw this sword being nullified by Xuanwu Jun at the cost of his life, and her sword-eyes glanced coldly at Lian Chengzhi, pale with panic, atop that cliff,

"Since this sword didn't kill you, then consider yourself lucky to walk away!"

After saying this, Lu Xueqi once again rode her sword and departed.

This time, she did not return, and no one went to provoke her again.

She left only a beautiful arc across the sky.

"Chengzhi…"

Only now did Chi Xue react, flying down from the sky to Lian Chengzhi's side.

Seeing him lost and dejected, like a stray dog, her heart ached with grief, and she could not help but pull him into her arms.

"Xuanwu Jun, Xuanwu Lake is dead…"

"It's my fault he died…"

Among all the experts of You Dongying, only Xuanwu Jun was the most loyal to Lian Chengzhi.

The reason was that Xuanwu Jun's recommender was none other than Song Ben Gang, the one who carved the Emperor's Bone into Lian Chengzhi and changed his fate.

But now this most loyal person, because of one slip of his unfiltered tongue, had lost his life, body and spirit both annihilated!

At this moment, Lian Chengzhi was both dejected and grief-stricken, and full of self-reproach and guilt.

He could not help but begin to cry in Chi Xue's arms.

In no time at all, he had soaked the front of Chi Xue's clothes.

"It's okay, it's okay…"

Chi Xue paid no heed to this, continuously soothing Lian Chengzhi, saying,

"Xuanwu Jun got what he wished for; since you didn't die beneath this sword, he would surely be glad."
