“Huh?”
A light eek came out from the nothingness and instantly disappeared.
Su Li beckoned. A long sword flew to her from the weapon rack behind her and floated in front of her. In the blink of an eye, she made some unique gestures and put them into the long sword. The ordinary long sword was instantly covered with a layer of cyan light and sprang out like a spiritual snake.
It was the Ao Sword Skills, the skills to control swords!
A cold hum sounded in the nothingness, and the purple light in the middle-aged man’s hand condensed into a sword again. He rushed into Su Li and slashed dozens of times so rapidly that Su Li could not see that clearly.
Ding Ding!!!
The two swords collided fiercely, and sparks flew everywhere!
Su Li changed the gestures in her hands and concentrated on resisting the attack. Although she was still affected by the blank consciousness at times, she had enough time to re
As she thought about the sword skill, time passed in a blink of an eye. When the twenty hours ended, Su Li didn’t wait to be reminded by the voice from the nothingness. She stood up and dragged her seemingly broken body towards the eighth step.Whoosh!The scene changed and the same high platform came into Su Li’s view as before.Su Li walked to the weapon rack and picked up a long sword. She turned herself into a blur, and rushed towards the middle-aged man without saying a word.She fought in a desperate way just like the previous six rounds.The existence in the nothingness looked coldly at the bloody rain on the high platform, with coldness flashing in its eyes. He had thought Su Li would die at the fifth step, and didn’t expected that this woman was more resilient beyond his imagination. She had striven to get to the eighth step.“I have already used the half of the Will of Sword left behind after the
The middle-aged man in a purple robe floated onto the stone step. He was good-looking, and had no beard but some stubble. His eyes were sharp but seemed to be covered with mist.Su Li opened her eyes and glanced over the ground.This man had no feet. He was a spirit or something like Black Lotus.“You’ve found that I lied to you long ago, haven’t you?”“When?” From the mouth of the middle-aged man came a sharp voice, which did not match his appearance. And it couldn’t distinguish whether the voice was from a man or a woman.As the words came out, an invisible pressure spread on the stone platform. At that instant, Su Li got a feeling of guilt if she did not answer his question.Within a few seconds, many thoughts swept through Su Li’s mind. Finally, with a slight struggle in her eyes, Su Li said reluctantly, “At the fifth stone step. There was no reward from the Star Path.”“Just because of th
A flash flickered in Su Li’s eyes and she asked, “Are you… a living person?”The middle-aged puppet laughed and shook his head, “I am just a sub-awareness lodging in the puppet’s body.”“Before this...”Su Li hesitantly spoke. The middle-aged puppet replied slowly, “That was your destiny, and I would not stop you. Since you’ve broken through, it means you are hard enough to be killed and able to inherit my mantle. Otherwise, I would not have shown up.”Su Li was silent for a moment and asked in a cold voice, “How are you so certain that I will accept your mantle?”“Ha ha ha ha…”The middle-aged man laughed, “I won’t force you to do it. If you are not willing, just refuse me. However, I saw your interest in the swordsmanship.”Lights were flowing in Su Li’s eyes and a smile appeared on her face, “You are right, Senior. I would appreciate your guidance.”The middle-aged man nodded s
Jingling—The chain rubbed against the stone path, emitting an ear-piercing sound.The oncoming person was a woman with a gaunt face. She was wet, with water dripping from the corners of her clothes as if she had been dragged out of the river. With her hair disheveled, she looked like a female ghost.On her side, Fang Ling was holding her arm and walking slowly.“These two people…”Black Lotus said in low voice in the awareness sea. Su Li narrowed her eyes.It was Mei Ruohan and Fang Ling. They both were acquaintances for Su Li.Su Li watched them in silence, waited for them both to approach, and passed over her.“Senior Sister Apprentice, I am afraid that you haven’t see the sun for many years. The sun is shining today, and it is nice. Master has ordered me to take you to get you tidy. You should cherish this opportunity.”Fang Ling spoke gently. Many female disciple
Su Li was shocked slightly. She instantly recalled the extremely obscure peeping in the Black Stone Forest earlier.She was always clear that there was something odd in the Black Stone Forest. But because there were many things to deal with, she had no time to care about that.Since the seventh branch was involved in and Su Yuanhai was her key to control Su Family, she couldn’t ignore it anymore.“The information is too limited. Su Dieyin should know more.”Su Li frowned and pondered for a moment. Then she said in a low voice, “Except for Su Yang and Su Mu, has anyone who took part in the Tea Party for Immortals come back?”Hua Yan nodded, “Yes, it’s sure. After hearing Su Yang’s description, I am afraid that it could possibly be the fake news from the twenty-five sects. So, I sent people to verify secretly and found that eighty percent of the news was fake!”“Eighty percent?”Su Li caught the
“What are you doing?”Seeing no severe injuries on them, Su Dieyin was relieved and asked.“Master, please save Su Jiuzhou!”Su Jiuzhou?!Su Dieyin opened her beautiful eyes slightly wide. She turned and saw Su Jiuzhou in the inner room meditating. Compared to the neatly-dressed Su Xianyun and others, she was dressed in rags like a beggar. Bursts of the smell of blood pervaded in the house and made Su Dieyin frown.“Master, it was Su Jiuzhou who saved us all!”When Su Xianyun told the entire process, Su Dieyin came to Su Jiuzhou and took her pulse. She frowned more seriously.“Xianyun, why didn’t you contact me before coming back?”Su Dieyin’s voice sounded a bit cold, and the temperature in the air seemed to have dropped a few.Xianyun was stunned, and made a bitter smile, “Master, our storage rings were lost in the Chaos Zone, so we couldn’t contact you.”
“Mom, why are you here?”Seeing the woman, Su Dieyin’s solemn expression eased down immediately. She squatted in front of the woman and said in a warm voice, “I can handle the things at home, Mom. Don’t worry about that.”“Still hiding it from me?”The woman shook her head and with her eyes widely opened, “Your Uncle Guang has told me. Is Su Jiuzhou that important? You have secured your position of the head of the branch with difficulty. If Su Dingxian...”“I promised her and of course I must keep that.”Su Dieyin was serious. She said gently, “Even if she had not come to the second branch, I will repay her favor, because she had saved Xianyun and the other two. I am not the cold-blooded old fox of the main branch.”Hearing that, the woman became more helpless, “How dare you say this? You...”“Rest assured, Mom. I can handle it.”Su Dieyin held the woman’s hand gently and spoke in
After Ya’er left, the entire hall was in silence again, as if nothing had happened.Su Li closed the adytum door and took back all the visible expressions. With a flip of her palm, the carrier rune appeared in her palm. As the carrier rune blinked a few times, Su Yuanhai’s voice came from it.“Master, there is something odd about the spiritual stone mine in the Black Stone Forest. The sixth branch is determined to get the mine. I was fought back before I had time to see what was inside.I am not sure if it’s an illusion that I seemed to have smelt a scent of demons...”A light flashed in Su Li’s eyes.Demons?The legend of demons and monsters could be traced back to ancient times. Perhaps at the time when Black Lotus lived, demons and monsters could still often be seen. At the present, there were only several demon clans and they were just active in several large regions. Such a huge clan suddenly disappea
