Chapter 360 Still Waters Run Deep (2/2)

The tip of her sword vibrated and twirled the water splash around. Within moments, the air was vibrating for her.

The normal disciples could not discern the wondrous workings behind her move, because it was simply too fast for them to notice. On the other hand, the elders with an advanced level of cultivation were in awe. The vibration of the tip of her sword was caused by the momentum of the first water splash; she blocked off the second, third, and fourth water splashes with it, and had done so naturally with a graceful arc.

Ruoxi did not have to waste even the tiniest bit of her energy. She caught everything effortlessly. With a flick of her short sword, she created a sky full of water droplets that were sharp as pebbles. They had the shape of a cone and were colorful under the refraction of light. It was a beautiful sight.

Cold and harsh killing vibes were hiding beneath the beautiful water droplets.

Shouxuan had no choice but to defend himself instead of playing offense. He defended himself against the water droplets and the sword gleam of Ruoxi's Triumphant Malice Sword that followed.

Regardless of how well he had defended himself with the light of the water when faced with the sword gleam, he was merely fighting a losing battle. Ruoxi was one with the sword; instead of having far-reaching sword aura, her Qi strength was internalized and she was almost one with the sword gleam.

Just as how she wielded the sword, the sword wielded her as well. The transformation was astounding, and Shouxuan was at a loss and did not know what to do.

Before he thought of counterattack, the sword split into two and charged at his Ancestral Cavity and Entry point at the same time.

Two sharp gust of malicious Qi invaded his body, withering his psyche immediately. His Mana was sluggish, and he collapsed immediately.

A loud clang could be heard. Ruoxi sheathed her sword.

Drunken Daoist exclaimed. Ruoxi's move of splitting a sword into two earlier was not dependent on the strength of Triumphant Malice Sword. One of them was high and the other low, one was clear and the other murky, they were so well-coordinated that Shouxuan could not have defended himself against them. The sword technique had embodied the mysterious workings of Yin and Yang, it was unstoppable the moment it was put into motion.

He could not help but look towards Zifu Peak. Through the endless clouds and smoke, he saw a lady in purple. She was absolutely stunning and was looking here. He sighed, ”The fate of Qing Xuan is dominated by the Taixu Branch aye.”

Ruoxi had collapsed her opponents in the previous three rounds with just a glance. Despite their initial shock, the disciples knew that it was merely made possible by her strange Dao technique. If she were to encounter someone capable, she might not be able to use it so easily.

However, after witnessing Ruoxi's swordcraft earlier, the disciples knew that their assumption was wrong.

Despite that Ruoxi's swordcraft seemed a lot gentler when compared to that of Zhao Siming, but it was freed of secular qualities, which made it better than that of Zhao Siming. Her swordcraft was akin to the swordcraft of a Celestial. It was untarnished by secular qualities.

The shiver of the tip of her sword was almost magical. It was twirling too fast for them to observe properly earlier. However, the track drawn by the tip of her sword became clearer in their heart as they tried to recall it. They could not forget about it. If they were to look into it, they would feel like it was just a dream, a dream that they could not trace.

A white cloud appeared underneath Ruoxi's feet, and she returned to Shen Lian's side. Shen Lian stared hard at her and said, ”Hand Triumphant Malice Sword over.”

Ruoxi hesitated before she handed over the short sword.

Shen Lian held the sword hilt and felt a cold gust of malicious Qi crept up his hand. It was traveling through his orifices point and meridians as it charged at his bier. Shen Lian exterminated the malicious Qi with his thoughts.

Silently, he kept Triumphant Malice Sword in his sleeve. He wondered, ”The strength of the malicious Qi within the sword was stronger than he expected. Why did the Grand Ancestor Master give it to Ruoxi?”

He looked at Ruoxi and was met with her gaze. Her gaze was clear as water and was freed of impurities. She did not seem like she was tainted by the malicious Qi.
