159 The Young Woman in Thick Clothing (1/2)
…
…
The man in black changed his expression slightly.
He didn't know that Zhao Layue had gained the Sword Body!
At this point, he understood Zhao Layue's idea.
When she discovered something wrong after entering the Daoist temple, Zhao Layue immediately called out her Thoughtless Sword and made that somewhat strange sword move to protect herself. This was to show her weakness.
As her Sword Source couldn't hold up any longer, she cut off connection with the Thoughtless Sword decisively, letting it fly away to warn others. This was still a show of her weakness.
Zhao Layue used her own hands at the critical moment to display the true power of her Sword Body.
Even though she couldn't hurt him by surprise, she could at least win some time.
As long as Zhao Layue could hold up a little more, she might be able to get rescued by her colleagues.
”You're indeed an excellent combatant, Zhao Layue. Unfortunately, time is running out, and you still have to die.”
The man in black stared at Zhao Layue through two bloody fists, his appearance even crueller.
He thought that he had already paid enough attention to this matter, but he still underestimated her strength.
Under the circumstances, he had no choice but to use his full strength, even if the clues left behind would cause tremendous trouble.
Countless lights shot out from the tiny openings between the fingers of his fist.
These lights were crystal white and gentle, belonging to the purest treasure light.
Who would know what kind of magic treasure he was holding in his hand?
Pop!!!
Dozens of cracks appeared on Zhao Layue's dress, and fresh blood oozed from her left eyebrow
She had practiced the Tempered Will of Sword for many years on the Sword Peak, so her body and Dao Heart were much stronger than those talented Cultivation folks of the same age.
Yet this time she had to face the upfront attack of a magic treasure.
Though her will was intact, her body strength was ultimately limited.
Suddenly a sword will approached from the distant sky.
A powerful and dominating energy was nearing the valley at an incredible speed.
It was probably a Cultivation practitioner in the upper state of the Broken Sea.
The man in black knew who was coming, and he wasn't worried. Three days ago, he and his accomplice had anticipated what would happen in the battle field that day. They believed that the outcome couldn't be changed even if Zhao Layue still had a little bit strength to fight back after sending the Sword Letter.
Though the distance between West Mountain Residence and Mingcui Valley wasn't too massive, they still couldn't arrive instantly.
…
…
Outside the Daoist temple, the sound of zither rang out suddenly.
The zither music wasn't very loud, but it was quite clear.
The Daoist temple was collapsing, with bricks falling down, creating a great deal of noise, which somehow couldn't suppress the sound of the zither.
A faint energy appeared.
The man in black was quite startled. It was because he sensed clearly that energy was right outside the Daoist temple.
Why was a person here? The Mingcui Valley was considerably isolated, lacking travelers. How could a Cultivation practitioner appeared all of a sudden?
Unless someone had known that he set up a trap here in advance. But who would know?
In a short time, the man in black predicted an outcome and made a decision.
If he wanted to kill Zhao Layue and that Cultivation practitioner outside the Daoist temple at the same time, it would take some time, and the swordsmen of the Green Mountain Sect would arrive.
As a Cultivation practitioner, he wasn't lacking in wisdom and determination. He would give up the opportunity without any hesitation if it was necessary.
Along with the falling bricks and mud, his body had gradually vanished. He shot a look at Zhao Layue, who was covered in blood, before disappearing.
