Chapter 136: From the water

Yan Yuqing holds the broken sword in his hand, its tip pointing down. Blood drips along the blade, quite a bit splattering onto his boots.

At this time, he's dressed in all black, his hair is disheveled and cascading around him. His complexion is pale, and his lips lack any color. His eyes have a faint reddish tint, and an aura of darkness seem to envelop his entire being. The accumulated killing intent and malevolence has taken on a tangible form, swirling around him, creating a hazy mist of darkness.

"I am Yan Yuqing," he declares. Afterwards, he holds the broken sword horizontally in front of him, gently running his finger across the bloodstains on the blade. His demeanor appears gentle, but then he suddenly lifts his head, coldly gazing at Su Tingyun, "You severed my sword once. Today, I will shatter your Haoran Zhenqi Sword."

Yan Yuqing points the broken sword at Su Tingyun and demands, "Draw your sword!"

Like a cheetah preparing to pounce, he slightly leans forward, and the broken sword lets out a crisp sound he brandishes it. Then, Yan Yuqing and the sword transforms into a single black arc, charging towards Su Tingyun once more.

The Killing Sword!

To stop slaughter with slaughter!

Haoran Zhenqi Sword!

The constant in the ever-changing!

At this moment, Su Tingyun is surprisingly unflustered. Instead of immediately wielding her sword to defend, she summons the Heavenly Fire and infuses it into the Springwater Sword, then faces Yan Yuqing with the Haoran Zhenqi Sword.

Those dark energies might be related to demonic energy, and if that's the case, the Heavenly Fire will definitely be potent against it.

She doesn't know what happened to her Little Uncle, but she knows that if she doesn't try something different, she won't be able to withstand his frenzied sword attacks.

With a clang, the Springwater Sword clashes with the Broken Sword, creating golden sparks upon friction. After that strike, Su Tingyun and Yan Yuqing both step back half a pace, but they don't disengage. Instead, they immediately strike again. In a short time, Su Tingyun has continuously unleashed dozens of sword strikes!

The Haoran Zhenqi Sword Technique is different from other sword techniques; each strike requires the manipulation of the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. However, with the ominous clouds covering the Qilian Mountains at this moment, creating a feeling of overwhelming evil that obscures the sky and blocks out the sun, she increasingly feels her strength waning as she keeps using the sword technique successively.

But the power behind Little Uncle's sword is also diminishing, which is the reason she hasn't fallen into a disadvantage.

Seeing his complexion getting worse, and seeing more blood on the sword, Su Tingyun finally realizes that he's using the Blood Sacrifice technique!

It's the same technique he used on the Kunlun Divine Tree last time, where he sacrificed his blood to boost his cultivation, although he ultimately didn't unleash that strike. Even so, he spent a long time recovering afterward. But now, not only did he use Blood Sacrifice on this peculiar, vicious, and ancient broken sword that's full of murderous intent, he's also using it to battle her. He's depleting his life force, which is why the sword's power is decreasing, and he's growing weaker.

If they continue like this, he will die!

"Little Uncle, snap out of it!" Su Tingyun uses the Springwater Sword to block Yan Yuqing's Broken Sword. At this moment, Yan Yuqing pushes down with his Broken Sword, making a creaking sound.

Su Tingyun could have forcefully pushed the sword aside, but suddenly she feels somewhat powerless.

A sudden rejection force appears in her body!

She has only merged with Xi Guang for less than a day, so why was this rejection occurring prematurely? The rejection force is causing her soul to ache, and her hands become weak, only able to barely withstand the Broken Sword. She reduces the spiritual energy input into the Springwater Sword. At this moment, she can even hear the indomitable lament of the sword spirit within the Springwater Sword.

The Broken Sword continues to press down, and the fractured blade is almost poking at her face. Just then, her entire body stiffens as if she's been nailed to the spot.

The Broken Sword gets closer and closer, and Su Tingyun gets a clear look of the blade, covered in greenish copper rust. But at this moment, she notices something on the Broken Sword, and she's somewhat bewildered.

This Broken Sword is quite wide; she already knows it was a broadsword. The Springwater Sword, on the other hand, is exceptionally slender, making them polar opposites. Yet, one is embedded in the dragon's head, and the other is affixed to the dragon's seven-inch region.

Initially, Su Tingyun didn't think much about it. However, now she sees a groove in the middle of the Broken Sword and, more remarkably, the shape of the groove at the hilt-- it is identical to the hilt of the Springwater Sword.

The Springwater Sword has two pointed ends, and it was precisely the sharp hilt that pierced her foot in the past. Such swords are rarely seen, and even the Third Uncle never forged swords like these. He said that with such a sharp hilt, wouldn't it be easy to injure oneself...

The Springwater Sword and this Broken Sword can be combined!

Could it be that they were originally the same sword?

She grips the sword with all her strength, and due to the pressure from the Broken Sword, the hilt pierces through her palm. The Broken Sword is also dangerously close to her face. Just then, a piercing female voice exclaims, "Get out! Get out..."

The voice is sharp, as if it could stab eardrums.
