Chapter 97: Water Flower
Hearing this familiar voice, Shen Yi was first joyfully surprised. This sea of brambles within Min Mountain Sword Sect was covered in a strange formation. It seemed that one's sight and voice would only be obstructed at close distances. It was impossible to see people walking in the distance. He had not thought that he would encounter Xie Changsheng right now,
However, he immediately felt nervousness and great unease. For he knew this was not a matter that could be resolved with money. So, in the next moment, he instinctively shouted towards Xie Changsheng. ”Xie Changsheng, quick, leave.”
Anyone could hear the true concern in this shout, but in return came Xie Changsheng's merciless sneer. ”Leave, quickly? Is it so easy to leave quickly?”
Shen Yi opened his mouth but froze.
He finally saw Xie Changsheng clearly.
Xie Changsheng was walking quickly.
Just like Shen Yi, he had many thorns stuck in his body. There were also many large open wounds on his abdomen and back. These wounds, after being immersed in water for too long, appeared pale, even though Xie Changsheng had found some way to stop the bleeding. They looked even more horrific than b.l.o.o.d.y wounds.
The sword with many golden threads in the hilt was being used by Xie Changsheng like a cane.
When Xie Changsheng appeared previously in front of Shen Yi, he had been dressed brightly and grandly. But now, he looked like a tortured prisoner. The great disparity was a greater blow to Shen Yi's mind.
”I really do not know why Cave Master Xue accepted you as his last student.”
Seeing a frozen Shen Yi, the pale-white Xie Changsheng grew even angrier. He sneered. ”You are really far from Ding Ning. If this was him, I fear I would only need to watch and not waste energy by helping.”
Shen Yi said embarra.s.sedly, ”Of course I am lesser than Senior Sect Brother Ding Ning.”
Xie Changsheng's chest rose and fell violently. Shen Yi's words seemed to make him angrier. But he forcibly pressed down his anger. He looked darkly at Lie Yinghong and said, ”It appears you are not willing to accept my suggestion?”
Lie Yinghong glanced at him, thought back to Xie Changsheng's attack just now and did not respond.
”If the two of us cannot defeat him, then we might as well die,” Xie Changsheng's expression grew frosty as he said to Shen Yi.
Shen Yi struggled to swallow. While the convulsing of his arm had disappeared, he still felt that he and Xie Changsheng were not enough to defeat Lie Yinghong.
Lie Yinghong still did not answer.
Without any warning signs, he attacked.
He attacked Xie Changsheng.
While Xie Changsheng's previous blow had been extremely clever and came through the air, Xie Changsheng's health situation was poor and easier to defeat than Shen Yi.
Dozens of light blue sword lights appeared in the air in front of him. These dozens of lights contained terrifying power and advanced with Lie Yinghong's charge. His longsword tilted towards the ground as vital energy surged into the blade. Gusts of dust were thrown into the air and slid along the ground like shark fins.
Seeing this strange sword move, Xie Changsheng's pupils contracted violently. But he did not dodge and straightened to swing his sword forward.
Shen Yi gasped.
Xie Changsheng's sword light looked far too weak, a fragile candle flame compared to Lie Yinghong's light that would disappear in the next moment. Most importantly, Xie Changsheng's attack was too early, and in his view, would only hit empty air.
Lie Yinghong was slightly puzzled, but he felt that Xie Changsheng would not be so weak.
Woos.h.!.+
Just as he sensed a warning sign, a burning presence appeared in the air in front of him.
A burning golden mist formed and immediately swept over dozens of feet to reach him.
His loose hair immediately dried up and then started to burn.
Yet, his movements were unusually steady and the sword he was dragging on the ground flicked upwards.
The shark fin waves of energy jumped up along his sword's ascent. The sword lights that were advancing in front of him made a strange change. It was like a light blue spray spread apart in front of him and a terrifying suction force formed among the spray.
It was like a giant whale opening its mouth. All of the burning golden mist was extinguished and swallowed by this giant whale.
Shen Yi's shocked scream sounded behind Lie Yinghong.
He could sense that the swallowing power came from Lie Yinghong's sword. He was also certain that Xie Changsheng could not fend off this blow.
So he disregarded everything and attacked at full power with his fastest sword form.
A bright lightning formed on his sword, twisting as it fell towards Lie Yinghong's back.
Lie Yinghong's sword move did not stop advancing, but he flipped his sword around, as though there were eyes growing out of his back and the blade accurately blocked this lightning.
