“No, no, no, I’m not being polite.” Liu Yuan’s gaze was sincere as he said, “I feel from the bottom of my heart that you are a good person. Your cultivation is high and you are upright. It even makes me feel a little ashamed.”
“Oh, oh… Is that right? You’re too kind.” Cui Ting was taken aback, and then he felt a little embarrassed. Although he found it strange that the other party had such a high evaluation of him on their first meeting, he just assumed that the other party had heard of him before.
Under Shen Sifan’s silent gaze, Liu Yuan said goodbye to Cui Ting sincerely and walked to the side calmly.
After walking for about ten steps, he heard Cui Ting’s voice from behind, explaining the grudges between his sect and the Green Lotus Swordsman. He explained the reason why he came to challenge, and also explained his weapon and swordsmanship according to the rules. He also made a gesture, which sounded very imposing. He should be very strong.
But it was a pity that… this guy did not know what he was about to face.
When Liu Yuan took the 20th step, a voice was heard saying, “Please enlighten me.”
This time, it was Shen Sifan’s androgynous, heroic voice.
She sounded very calm.
Liu Yuan’s footsteps quickened a little, and then suddenly sped up. With a whoosh, he rushed into the direction of the forest where Gu Chang had been hiding.
Cui Ting had just pulled out his long sword, and his aura was rising steadily. His Sword Qi was like a rainbow, and his expression was solemn. The confidence in his heart was getting stronger and stronger. He could already see his strongest moment. All the will and spirit he had cultivated up until now were hidden in this sword.
Today, this sword was going to be slashed out!
Cui Ting’s eyes were filled with battle intent and joy. He was happy with his own progress. His long sword was already halfway out of its scabbard. The sharp Sword Qi overflowed and flattened the surrounding vegetation.
It’s here, it’s here!
Cui Ting was about to use his strongest sword move, but he saw Shen Sifan retract her sword and pull it out. Suddenly, he felt a ghostly aura burst out in front of him.
Zoom!
The Sword Light was like water as it streaked across the air. Shen Sifan said calmly, “Since you want to fight peak with peak, then use your strongest sword move to take my strongest sword move.”
The edge of the sword gradually created two white waves of air. At an extremely fast speed, it even produced an ear-piercing sonic boom.
Liu Yuan’s scalp went numb when he heard this voice. He turned around to take a look.
Shen Sifan happened to take a step forward, and in the sound of the explosion, her aura exploded. Her black hair spread out with the wind, and out of respect for his opponent, she shouted the name of the move.
“Thousand Lotus Twisting Dragon, Splitting Cloud Waterfall!”
F*ck! As expected, she was preparing for a big move!
That terrifying big move that could instantly kill low-level players and reduce health by a percentage at high-level was the main reason why Shen Sifan was known as an ‘NPC cheater’ by players!
As for me? F*ck, I need a horse that even a War Emperor can’t catch up to, okay?!
If he had not managed to fool her just now, he would have been a corpse by now!
Liu Yuan’s eyes widened in fear as he found Gu Chang and Chuichui, who were hiding in his arms. He picked up Chuichui with one hand and grabbed Gu Chang’s back collar with the other. He took out the Moon Mirror Jade and released the illusion bubble to cover them with camouflage.
And then–
Run!
Liu Yuan stretched out his hand and cast a series of speed buffs such as Divine Movement Spell, Light Body Technique and Traveling in a Thousand Miles. He grabbed the cat and his disciple under his armpit like a briefcase and ran away.
He did not even need to use his flying sword. Shen Sifan’s control of the sword Dao was likely to affect sword-type weapons, so it was better to be cautious.
On the other side, in that short moment.
Cui Ting stopped in a daze. The sword that he had pulled out slowly slid back into the scabbard. With a crack, he looked in front of him in a daze, his body trembling slightly.
The shadow of the sword was like a lotus, and the spiritual power spread out huge lotus petals in the air. The moment it closed, it intertwined and twisted, crashing through all obstacles with a loud bang. The flowing clouds in the sky were shattered, and with a whoosh, they instantly scattered to both sides, like a waterfall hanging upside down.
In the lotus petals, there were suddenly countless different sword wills intertwining and flashing, almost like the Dao.
This was not a sword, but the white essence of the human world, the reversal of the Heavenly River, the Eternal Moon in the sky, and the instant of life and death!
‘How could there be such a sword technique in the world?’
Before Cui Ting’s vision turned black, such a thought flashed through his mind. This was simply unreasonable.
Boom–!!!
A loud sound that seemed to shake the world shook the earth and the mountains. The mountains collapsed and the earth cracked. The Sword Intent turned into lotus petals and crushed the place. A large area of dust rose and slowly dispersed, leaving only a huge ravine, as if an earth dragon had turned over.
“Pant… Pant…”
The outstanding disciple of the Heart Sword Sect, Cui Ting, was nowhere to be seen.
“Crack.”
Shen Sifan calmly put away her long sword, but when he turned around, he realized that Liu Yuan had also disappeared.
“…”
Shen Sifan’s face stiffened for a moment. She had always respected her opponent and used all her strength when she said she would. She did not even notice that Liu Yuan had run away.
Most importantly, she naively believed that Liu Yuan would stay by her side and wait for her.
“Junxuan!”
Shen Sifan’s eyebrows were raised, and she flew off on his sword in the direction she had sensed.
The huge ravine on the ground silently dispersed all the smoke and dust, forming a blurry Lotus mark.
This would also be Shen Sifan’s most iconic symbol in the future.
Rumble…
The stone rolled down and hit the head of the Heart Sword Sect’s outstanding disciple, Cui Ting, who was shivering and hiding under the gully. His face turned pale as if he had seen a ghost and he swallowed his saliva.
“M-master, it’s not that I’m incompetent, it’s just that my opponent is too abnormal. I think it’s better to leave this matter of revenge for my future disciple to complete.”
Cui Ting wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, stood up, muttered to himself, and limped out. He held his sword hilt, but he did not know if he had the courage to pull out his sword again.
Cui Ting stopped in his tracks. His expression was complicated and hesitant. He couldn’t just leave like this. What if… he really did not have the courage to draw his sword?
…
Liu Yuan looked at the guide and saw that the killing intent in Shen Sifan’s status bar had disappeared.
It was obvious that after the Thousand Lotus Twisting Dragon, Splitting Cloud Waterfall, her rage points had decreased as well. It might even be a little empty.
“Ha…”
Liu Yuan heaved a sigh of relief and patted his chest. He was so grateful to the brother who had saved him from being cut into pieces. If he was still alive, he would definitely thank him for saving his life.
“Master, that Master’s Wife is so powerful!”
Gu Chang’s eyes widened as he looked at Liu Yuan.
Liu Yuan put him down and said seriously, “You can’t just see everyone as your Master’s Wife.”
“Then who is she?” Gu Chang asked, confused.
Liu Yuan said, “… Fine, that’s your Master’s Wife, then. Next time you see her, call her that. Remember to call her sweetly.”
If he wanted to save his life, he had to plan early.
“Sigh.” Liu Yuan heaved a long sigh. At least he managed to keep his life.
With Shen Sifan’s personality, he definitely could not face her directly.
She was different from Pihuan Luo. Although Pihuan Luo was evil, he used a strong personality to conquer her. Therefore, even if Liu Yuan’s personality changed slightly, he would be fine as long as he could maintain his strength.
As for Shen Sifan, she was too straight and too unyielding. If she believed that she had been betrayed and Liu Yuan still dared to talk back, the most likely thing she would do was kill Liu Yuan and cultivate the Path of Oblivion’ Sword Dao from then on.
He could not fight (and could not win), so the only way left was to escape.
He had to run so long that Shen Sifan had enough time to calm down and think carefully.
