68 Yings Determination. (2/2)

Ying could tell she was devastated from what he told her.

”Fine...! You better be alright after this!” She turned around with a single tear falling down her eye and ran off into the distance.

”I'd love to stay Senior Martial Sister, but that was my que to leave! See ya!” Fu Kang suddenly vanished from her hand.

She quickly looked around her surrounding for any signs of him. How did he just disappear right in front of her!? It wasn't a teleportation spell from a talisman! It wasn't a martial art because she didn't sense any qi coming off him when he did it. What just happened?! Where did her free mystic flame disappear to!?

”KANG! GET BACK HERE!!!” Ying fed her sword a spirit stone to enhance her connection with the qi around them.

She used it to search her surroundings for any signs of Kang but there was no sign of him anywhere! This didn't make any sense. It didn't make any sense and it made her extremely mad. Her ticket to owning a mystic flame of her own just poofed right out of the air. Her sword fueled the anger surging through her. Fire slowly began to erupt on parts of her body.

Her sword told her to feed it her storage ring if she wanted to get Kang.

”What the hell are you talking about?” She asked.

Her sword had a feeling that it knew where Kang went. It thinks that he escaped into a Void World. Ying had no idea what a Void World was but her sword couldn't exactly explain it either. He said it was a different world inside of a cultivator but what did that mean?! It tried to explain some more but all this was only making Ying even more angry.

”Whatever! Take the stupid ring!” Ying released all the items inside her storage ring on the ground and tossed her ring into the mouth hidden behind her sword's eye.

The sword slowly started to transform as it took in the essence of the storage ring. Purple and black symbols formed over the body of the blade. The large metal blade used the strange qi around it to compress itself into a smaller form. It was a light and thin type of blade that looked like it would boast of quickness and beauty rather than strength and evilness. Ying took a few light swings with it, testing to see how her handling has changed.

The blade may have become smaller but it seemed even heavier than before! The strange energy flowing through her blade was also flowing through Ying herself! She didn't understand what type of qi this was but it was not anything remotely similar to fire qi. With a single swing of her sword, she felt like she could cut anywhere she laid her eyes on. Distance was no longer an issue for her. If there was an enemy standing 10 meters away from her, she would still be able to decapitate them in one slice.

The power of the void is what her sword explained to her. So, this was void qi? The type of qi that made storage rings possible. It was unfamiliar to Ying. Something she's never experienced before. She was usually bathed in fire qi but now she was filled with this void qi thanks to her sword. It wasn't uncomfortable though. Instead of the blazing fire qi, the void qi was not something that burned. It took concentration, precision, and control to fully use. She took a few more swings to get used to her new power but her sword reminded her that they only had 10 minutes before it wore off.

”And I don't have another storage ring on me... Alright, let's find that Kang bastard.” Ying concentrated her fury and qi into her void sword.

With a sword strike that cuts through space itself, she sliced herself a way to Kang. Her sword explained that she was only reopening the rift left behind by Kang and she needed to head through there to get Kang. She wasn't skilled enough to make rifts on her own. Void qi was new to her after all.

”I'll show you skilled damn it!” Ying executed the moves of her Giant Blade Manual given by Jing for her sword. The Giant Blade Manual was an unranked sword art that taught Ying how to use her greatsword.

The rift leading to Kang began to expand as each powerful slash of her blade opened it further. A downward slice that looked strong enough to split oceans, a straight thrust that could pierce through any defense, and a dragon-cleaving strike from the side that would put kill into any flying lizard. A perfect demonstration of some of the techniques within her Sword Art. Now that she opened the rift far enough that she could go inside of it, a satisfied smirk appeared on her face.

”Your secrets will be mine!” She walked through the rift with her blade.
