Not a single drop of rain could fall into Lake Qifeng.
The large area of the lake had been covered with thick ice. The floating steam in the air all turned into falling snow and hail.
The masked woman of the Oracle Sword Heavenly Sect supported herself with the sword, standing on the surface of the lake. Beneath the mask, there was blood dripping down.
She raised her head.
In the air, the bloody figure of the evil fox was surrounding the old man while the wizard patriarch was struggling with difficulty while holding the seemingly burning ancient book.
The woman wiped the blood off her chin with the back of her hand. As she breathed, the surface of the ice under her feet suddenly cracked. She jumped up, turned into a gust of sword Qi and slashed at the bloody figure.
Clang.
The woman’s sword reached nothing but it seemed to hit something, making a sound of clang.
The old fox said,
Thunder crashed above Lake Qifeng.The old fox in control of the wizard patriarch’s body vanished in situ within an instant.The woman in white, who turned into a streak of sword Qi and fled, was intercepted in the sky instantly. The sound of the sword and the claw colliding with each other rang violently, causing a series of dazzling sparks in the air.The woman hedged. The long sword danced around her body, glistening brightly and protecting her from the invading evil Qi.The “wizard patriarch” stopped in the air before her but the body’s aura had completely changed. The eyes that had gone as white as the dead fish’s eyes were dark now, just like two abysses. As long as one looked at the eyes, he would be bewitched.The woman in white stuck to her sword mind and did her best not to look the old man in the eye.She could feel that the old fox before her had become much stronger than before.W
Holding an umbrella, Ning Changjiu closed the gate of the yard, bolted it and looked at that woman in white lying on the ground.With the sleeves torn off, the woman was stained with blood. The sword wounds in her white arms were striking. She was lying prostrate on the ground. Her white clothes spread out like a bird’s open wings.The woman’s back was also stained with blood and her dampened clothes were sticky and cold, closely clinging to her wounds. Under her body, there was also blood constantly seeping. As the rain dispersed, the surrounding ground was stained with blood shortly.The woman was not dead. Although she was seriously injured in a coma, she still gave off a kind of inaccessible sword Qi.Ning Xiaoling also came over in a hurry with an umbrella. As the pungent smell of blood came on her face, she hastened to cover her mouth and nose. Looking at the woman on the ground in horror, she looked at Ning Changjiu in confu
The woman finally noticed that behind the curtain, a young man and a young woman wearing the Taoist robe were sitting there, both of whom were about 15 or 16 years old. They still looked somewhat childish.Ning Xiaoling who was in a trance suddenly became spirited and then gasped in admiration, “What an immortal cultivator! You’ve recovered so fast after being so seriously injured.”Ning Changjiu looked at the woman’s vigilant eyes and explained, “We found you unconscious in the yard before. My fellow disciple and I carried you inside. I boiled the water and bought the medicine while she helped apply the medicine to your wounds and bind them up for you. Don’t worry about it.”He talked unhurriedly with unquestionable calmness.The woman tried to sit up but the pain of being torn apart just siphoned away her strength bit by bit, pressing her back on the bed.She looked at the young man and young girl seriously, saying,
The woman hesitated for a while and finally spoke slowly, “My name is Lu Jiajia. Jia means marrying someone.”Lu Jiajia...What a weird name! And…it was a bit cute?Slightly dazed, Ning Xiaoling could hardly connect the name with this cold and aloof sword immortal for the moment.The woman proclaimed as Lu Jiajia heaved a sigh and said resignedly, “I was thin and small when I was a child. My mother was worried that no one would marry me when I grew up, so she named me Jiajia, hoping to bring me luck.”Ning Changjiu said with a smile, “It seems that Miss Lu fails your mother’s goodwill.”Lu Jiajia knew that he was complimenting her on her appearance. After staying silent for a moment, she said, “Since I’ve started cultivating, I should be fully devoted to Taoism. It is allowed in the sect that one can have a Taoist partner, but I have no interest in it.”Ning Xiaoling asked, “Do you have to iso
Outside the imperial palace, above the clouds, the battle lasted very long.The dark clouds and livid fogs in the sky were all shattered, exposing a part of the blue sky. The sky took on a new look, just like the continuous lakes on the dry land after the heavy rain.As beams of light shone through the clouds, just like the swords that cut off the universe, got together gradually, forming a vast expanse of blue sky.The city was half rainy and half sunny.At the edge where they converged, streaks of rain were brightly shone, dropping on the ground, constituting a beautiful scene.The clouds blocked the vision. In the thunder that rumbled from time to time, the people on the city wall looked up in awe, imagining the stunning battle behind the clouds.The intermittent chirping sound of the phoenix was far away, but it was still horridly astonishing.In their eyes, that was the war between gods,
It had been nearly four hours since the old fox entered the imperial city and the battle in the imperial palace ended.In the evening, Lu Jiajia stopped regulating her breath. When she got off the bed, the rain gradually became smaller. The wooden window was shone with the faint twilight.The battle above the imperial palace lasted very long. Even the ordinary people in the imperial palace could all notice the anomaly of the sky and the earth. She had a deeper feeling.Ning Xiaoling fetched a basin of hot water for her. Looking at Lu Jiajia’s face which had gradually regained some color, she said in astonishment, “You’ve recovered really fast from such serious injuries. Your physical condition is unbelievably amazing.”Lu Jiajia said, “For a cultivator, the physique is his sword, which is surely unusually tough.”Ning Xiaoling nodded with only a hazy notion.Lu Jiajia asked, “Where is your fellow disciple?
Ning Xiaoling brought a pot of new tea leaves. She made three bowls of tea randomly rather than use the fine porcelain containers.Looking at the unfolded and sunken green tea leaves, Ning Xiaoling said with a grin, “Master was quite stingy so I was used to leading a simple life with him. It has been several days since I entered the imperial palace. It suddenly occurs to me that I haven’t tasted the fine tea.”Ning Changjiu replied smilingly, “I didn’t know you fancied that.”Ning Xiaoling also chuckled. “No, I’m just tasting it out of intrigue.”Lu Jiajia glimpsed the water stains on the table and slightly frowned. Looking at the young girl who was fanning the bowl of tea, she said somewhat apologetically, “I can’t stay here anymore. The old fox will come for me sooner or later. If I stay longer, you may be implicated too.”Ning Xiaoling said, “I guess you are not recovered yet.”Lu Jiajia pulled the corn
The hand that gripped Lu Jiajia’s neck also loosened in desperation. Kneeling on her knees, she covered her throat, gasped for air heavily and saw the headless body, unable to tell whether it was reality or hallucination.The body was beheaded. Even the old fox’s soul was also affected. It had to break out of the body. When it left, a flaming claw reached out to grip the broken saber that dropped.The figure holding the sword also came within an instant. The saber and the sword clashed again.The sound of clang was extremely fast just as a woman played the flute with her fingers.Every movement--stab, tap, tilt, stir, block, strike, hack and chop, was extremely simple and not fancy at all, just like the move that cut the head, which was neat and as fast as a flash of lightning.Lu Jiajia turned her head with difficulty. Staring at the back of the one charging forward like a clap of thunder, she was taken aback.
