Through the Fated Star Plate, Xu Yourong had already calculated that something was wrong, and after listening to Chen Changsheng's recount, she quickly realized what exactly was going on. She naturally believed Chen Changsheng's words, but just when she was prepared to say something, she suddenly noticed the fatigue on Bie Yanghong's face and the streaks of white in his hair, causing her to stop.
The pain of losing one's child was truly one of the most unbearable matters in the world.
Bie Yanghong walked up to Wuqiong Bi and gently patted her on the shoulder. ”Rest a while.”
Wuqiong Bi had failed to kill Chen Changsheng, and was even incapable of defeating him and Xu Yourong, causing her to be furious and unwilling, her mood at its most irritable. When she heard these words, she felt both wronged and anguished, weeping as she yelled, ”You're coming forth at last!”
Her words were not false. Given Bie Yanghong's strength, if he had struck with all his might at the very start, even that metal blade might not have been able to stop the two of them from killing Chen Changsheng, let alone Xu Yourong and the girls of South Stream Temple.
Now, he finally came forth.
In the former Storms of the Eight Directions, Bie Yanghong had been one of the strongest in terms of fighting prowess. Even the Tianhai Divine Empress had greatly admired him.
With a true expert of the continent attacking, how could Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong continue to resist?
”If I gave you two another day, no, perhaps only a few rounds, the two of you would have completely harmonized your sword, leaving no more gaps. Not I or anyone else would have been able to deal with you two, so I must deeply apologize—I cannot give you two this chance.”
Bie Yanghong looked at Chen Changsheng and Xu Yourong and said, ”I will strive to part you two with one technique, and then defeat you.”
By the time these words left his mouth, he was already attacking Chen Changsheng.
A small red flower was tied to the pinkie of his right hand.
The entire continent knew that this red flower was Bie Yanghong's strongest weapon and also the quintessence of his entire cultivation.
At the foot of the Mausoleum of Books, the Tianhai Divine Empress's fist had stunned the Storms, just one of her punches killing Guan Xingke. It was through the little red flower that Bie Yanghong had barely managed to receive the other punch.
When Bie Yanghong attacked, the little red flower would very naturally float up and in front of his finger, maintaining a distance of about half a foot.
The red flower reached Chen Changsheng even sooner than Bie Yanghong's hand.
Chen Changsheng could already see the sparkling beads of water on its petals.
Without even time to think, he thrust the Stainless Sword forward. As it pierced silently through the air, it left behind a bright trail of light on the plateau.
This time, he used the Intellectual Sword. He sought a strange trajectory to avoid the red flower, his ultimate goal being Bie Yanghong's brow.
At the same time, Xu Yourong's temple sword slashed through the air, silent and lightless. It trembled in the wind, appearing surprisingly delicate.
She used the Little Study Sword. It was said that many years ago, some senior of South Stream Temple residing in a detached study on the upper reaches of the Flower Stream created this sword style after observing the winter plums silently bloom on some winter day. This sword style sought victory through cunning. It appeared fragile, but it was actually extremely tough.
The Intellectual Sword and the Little Study Sword had no relation to each other and their sword intents shared no common traits, but just like before, the moment when Chen Changsheng's and Xu Yourong's techniques simultaneously appeared on the plateau, they underwent a mystical transformation. They perfectly fused into one, leaving behind not a single flaw.
Bie Yanghong had observed the pair's exchanges with Wuqiong Bi and understood that this was a combination sword style based on South Stream Temple's Unity Sword Art. However, he still could not completely understand how this combination sword style could allow two completely opposite sword techniques and sword intents to fuse together and also suddenly increase their power.
Only now, when facing this bright sword glow and delicate sword, when he was in the thick of it, could he faintly grasp at its principles.
