Chapter 997
Even if it wasn't, it was still an incredible treasure.
At that moment, she was infinitely happy and prepared to put this thing into her bosom.
"If I were you, I would hand over that Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom."
Just then, a person suddenly appeared on the other side of the Bodhidharma statue.
This person was dressed in foreign attire, and Zhou Zhiruo recognized at a glance that he was not from the Central Plains.
"Who are you?"
Zhou Zhiruo was puzzled; since when did the Great Ming of the Nine Provinces have martial artists who were not from the Central Plains?
"This Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom was obtained by the Emei Sect.
If you want the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, you had better look for the next one!"
She did not want to fight with this person, so she brought up the name of the Emei Sect.
In the Great Ming, although the Emei Sect was not as famous as the Wu Dangpai, it was still one of the major sects of the righteous path.
Ordinary martial artists in the Jianghu would usually give them some face.
If this person was a Great Ming martial artist, he would likely not dare to be too aggressive.
"Heh! Emei Sect? Is that something amazing? Do you think I, Bi Xuan, am afraid of you?"
The person who arrived announced his name; he was actually the Wu Zun of the Great Yuan, Bi Xuan!
After Bi Xuan announced his name, he waved his palm, and a flame shot out instantly.
He was determined to obtain this Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom.
"Bi Xuan? You are a Yuan person, why are you here?"
Zhou Zhiruo was shocked; this mission was clearly a Great Ming mission, so why would a Great Yuan Wu Zun be mixed in?
Although she was surprised, her feet were not slow.
She used the Emei movement technique to dodge Bi Xuan's attack with an elegant posture.
It was just that Bi Xuan was the Great Yuan Wu Zun, and even more so, a leader among the Great Yuan's honored guests.
During the last Great Tang-Yuan war, he had suffered a setback at Yanmen Pass, which could be described as miserable.
This time, when he went on a mission again, he was truly determined to succeed.
Therefore, this attack would not be that simple.
She saw that the flame hit the position where Zhou Zhiruo had originally been.
After missing the target, the flame suddenly dispersed.
Like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, one flame divided into countless smaller flames.
Each cluster of flames changed its form.
Some became claw-shaped, some finger-shaped, and some fist-shaped.
There were even flames that transformed into sword shapes.
Each cluster of flames was unleashing a Wu Gong technique.
They covered the sky and attacked Zhou Zhiruo from all directions.
Zhou Zhiruo was terrified; only then did she realize how astonishing the strength of a veteran Heaven-Human Realm expert was.
At this moment, she had nowhere to retreat, so she had to draw the Heaven-Reliant Sword and flick her wrist.
With the single Heaven-Reliant Sword, she unleashed both the Extinguishing Sword and Absolute Sword.
It was a pity that she was currently suppressed by the magical power, and her Nine Yang and Nine Yin true essence could not be deployed as she wished.
Therefore, she could only unleash the form of the Extinguishing Sword and Absolute Sword's joint attack, but not the substance.
"Hehe! Little girl, are you injured?
There is so little true essence in these sword moves, what are you still resisting for?
Obediently hand over the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom, and I might spare your life."
Bi Xuan had a sharp eye and saw at once that Zhou Zhiruo's sword moves were empty, and he couldn't help but mock her.
Zhou Zhiruo was extremely annoyed; if it weren't for the suppression of this magical power, her strength would not be greatly reduced.
If she were in her prime, relying on the Nine Yin, Nine Yang, and the Heaven-Reliant Sword,
fighting a Bi Xuan would not be a big deal, right?
For now, she could only let Bi Xuan mock her, while she pushed the sword moves of the Extinguishing Sword and Absolute Sword to their limit.
Boom, boom, boom!
In the blink of an eye, her sword moves clashed with the sky full of flame clusters.
Bi Xuan was initially extremely proud, fully expecting that his all-out attack would break the woman's empty sword technique in one blow.
But who knew that after the precious sword clashed with the flame clusters, it would emit a faint glow.
The flame clusters, which had transformed into all kinds of shapes, shattered immediately upon touching the sword light.
Following that, Bi Xuan's move was naturally broken.
The flames were scattered everywhere, instantly setting the originally dim Dharma Hall on fire.
"What kind of sword is this? Could this be a Heaven-level divine weapon?"
Bi Xuan saw at a glance that the woman breaking his move was entirely due to the precious sword in her hand.
At first, he thought it was a rare Heaven-level divine weapon.
After a moment of thought, he had seen Heaven-level divine weapons before, although not many.
But no Heaven-level divine weapon could break his move so easily.
"No! This is an Immortal-level, or even a God-level divine weapon!"
Suddenly, Bi Xuan's eyes lit up.
He didn't care that his move was broken and that the Dharma Hall was gradually catching fire.
Instead, he looked at the Heaven-Reliant Sword with extreme greed and said to Zhou Zhiruo,
"How about this! Hand over the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom and this divine weapon, and I will not only let you leave, but also treat the hidden injuries on your body, how about that?"
In Bi Xuan's mind, he was already showing mercy beyond the law.
After all, the Great Yuan's arrival to compete for the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom was somewhat meant to undermine the Green Dragon Society.
Therefore, before coming, Ogedei and other Great Yuan superiors had already given instructions.
They could not reveal their identities, and once revealed, they had to cover them up.
That is to say, after Bi Xuan announced his name, he had to kill everyone present!
But for the sake of the divine weapon, he violated the orders of his superiors.
"Hmph!"
Zhou Zhiruo didn't say much, just snorted coldly and ran toward the outside of the hall.
At this moment, she had already used the Heaven-Reliant Sword to break Bi Xuan's blockade.
But Bi Xuan's flames had also ignited a part of the Dharma Hall.
Obviously, if she dragged it out any longer, it would inevitably cause quite a commotion.
Once the people from Shaolin Temple noticed, she would really not be able to leave.
As for what Bi Xuan said, wasn't he dreaming?
She, Zhou Zhiruo, couldn't even solve that magical power herself, and only relied on the Heavenly Fragrance Cardamom to relieve it a little.
What ability do you, Bi Xuan, have to cure her hidden injuries?
Who do you think you are?
The Great Dragon Head Ximen Wudi?
Zhou Zhiruo felt disdain in her heart, and naturally would not say anything more to Bi Xuan.
Taking advantage of this gap, she used the Emei Sect's movement technique and fled rapidly toward the outside.
"Damn it! You don't know what's good for you! Then you can just stay here!"
Seeing that Zhou Zhiruo just snorted coldly and fled, Bi Xuan was furious.
He shouted loudly, unleashed the Flaming Sun Supreme Skill again, and attacked Zhou Zhiruo violently.
With every move, every punch and kick Bi Xuan made, he carried a cluster of terrifying flames.
Each cluster of flames was more scorching than the previous one.
It should be said that such an offensive would be impossible for an ordinary Heaven-Human Realm expert to receive.
