Chapter 217: Tussled 300 times that night
Shi Xiaobai’s mind was immediately attracted by the surging sword intent in Sunless’ eyes. It was as though there was a world of swords hidden in her eyes.
Slowly, Shi Xiaobai saw a world through those eyes, a hazy world.
The world’s lofty skies were void of clouds, and its ground was an expanse that spanned thousands of miles.
The hazy vision gradually became clear as the world in Sunless’ eyes suddenly drew closer, as though it had been magnified.
His vision was slowly occupied by a vast green plain. On it, he saw swords embedded across the green plain, like wildflowers that grew everywhere.
The hazy veil was slowly replaced by clarity, as Shi Xiaobai finally discerned a figure on the spread of green grass and flower swords. The figure was dressed in an azure-colored dress as she engaged in swordplay!
No, it was not only swordplay. Every slash she made contained surging sword intent. Azure sword beams were produced by each slash!
As the sword beams burst out in all directions, they appeared to slash apart the sky and open up the land!
The azure-dressed figure was graceful in her every slash. Her every footstep and every strike resembled a dance. However, this dance did not seem ordinary or tacky, instead, it contained a transcendent air of a sage-like immortal!
It was not swordplay, but it appeared like swordplay!
When Shi Xiaobai saw this beautiful world and that figure engaging in swordplay through Sunless’ eyes, he felt an inexplicable longing.
He yearned to enter this secret world and spar with the figure on that vast plain!
At the instant he had this desire, Shi Xiaobai’s consciousness went into a blur. The world in front of him suddenly shattered. Light, darkness, time and space, everything shattered like glass!
“You…”
A soft voice that resembled a kitten’s mew woke up Shi Xiaobai. He looked astounded as an azure-dressed girl stood in front him. There was a clear blue sky above him with a gentle breeze stroking his neck. The green ground beneath his feet was filled with grass that extended outwards. Swords of various colors were scattered and embedded in the ground around him, as though they were blooming flowers.
This place…
Shi Xiaobai drew a gasp. This was the world he had seen in Sunless’ eyes!
Shi Xiaobai took another look in front of him. The azure-dressed girl who stood in between the heaven and earth was Sunless!
“Sword,” Sunless said softly once again as she threw the sword in her hand gently at Shi Xiaobai.
Shi Xiaobai caught the sword and immediately understood Sunless’ intention. With a grin, he raised the sword and pointed at Sunless, saying, “This King happens to have the same intention!”
Sunless’ eyes shimmered slightly as she nodded heavily. Reaching out her right hand, a sword embedded in the ground suddenly shot towards her from a distance and came to a stable halt in her hand.
Shi Xiaobai smiled as he charged forward and slashed out!
This strike was simple and was also known as Beginner Sword!
However, this strike actually contained a catch because this strike was Beginner Sword at the Crest of Perfection realm!
Sunless’ eyes brightened as she slashed her sword forward.
“Clang!”
This was a collision between swords!
It was also a battle between sword techniques!
…
…
Inside Sunless’ room.
Silence, without a sound.
There were only two people in the room. One was standing beside the bed, while the other sat on a chair. Their eyes were locked, but their expressions were dull, as though they were looking at each other lovingly, but it also appeared as though they were not looking at each other.
During this quiet moment, the only thing that could be heard was their breathing.
However, their breathing was synchronized. Every breath taken was maintained at the same rhythm and speed. It appeared as though their heartbeats and pulses were also at the same frequency.
It was as if their souls were connected together.
An unknown period of time had passed when suddenly a beam of golden light bloomed from the right hand of the standing person. Moments later, a fair little loli appeared in the room.
She looked up to the left and then turned to the right.
“A sword fanatic.”
“A sword retard.”
“The difference between them is like night and day, but why are they able to have their sword intent resonate, and have a spiritual exchange?”
The loli blinked her eyes and said with a sigh, “Hai, This Sword Spirit can’t understand.”
…
…
Defeat!
Abject defeat!
