They are adept at choosing to sacrifice themselves.

"That's right!"

Eden's reminder brought Elysia back to her senses.

However, because Fu Hua's choices in Siberia and Sky Dome City left a deep impression on the audience, they gradually forgot Fu Hua's original thoughts.

"Call."

Little Knowledge subconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

But then she realized that the old man had just angered her, and that her childish temper was acting up again because she was so worried about him.

"Snort."

Little Knowledge gave a soft snort.

This Fu Hua amused and exasperated.

She knew which words she had said that had angered Little Knowledge, but she didn't know how to apologize or comfort her.

Time begins to flow again.

The sharp edge of the Tai Xu Sword God pierced Fu Hua's brow, just as the seven disciples had killed their master years ago.

All that was in the past is now gone... Fu Hua had said this countless times, but today, everything is different.

"I will... remember this."

The dark screen suddenly lit up with an image: under a full moon, Fu Hua and her seven disciples stood at various points on a plaque, while maple leaves slowly fell.

"This is... the Scarlet Bird Immortal? She's just like Seventh Sister..."

Jiang Wanxi said.

"Shh, be careful. Even immortals should have names."

Jiang Wanru said cautiously.

"Like me, they have forgotten things from a long time ago, they can hold on tightly to the present, but... they don't know what tomorrow will bring."

Qin Su Yi's tone was downcast.

"Who can know what tomorrow will bring? Let's just wait and see..."

Su Mei seemed somewhat arrogant.

"Is that so? Fine then... Since we've let go of the past, what's the point of tomorrow? But then again..."

As the only male among the seven disciples, Ma Yanqing's rough voice is very distinctive.

"At the end of countless detours, Master, you finally found the real you."

Lin Chaoyu found solace in letting go of everything.

"Interesting."

Cheng Lingshuang remained aloof.

The seven disciples made their appearance one by one.

That was a past that Fu Hua could not let go of.

"All that has happened in the past... none of it can be omitted."

The unfamiliar blue runes replaced the image of Fu Hua and her seven disciples.

"Huh... this is—the Sword God has been...?!"

The Tai Xu Sword God, who was originally involved in everything, disappeared without a trace, while in Fu Hua's hand, the black and gold gauntlet refracted a condensed light that seemed to have a tangible substance before turning into dust.

"That one variable... I bet on it right."

Fu Hua was panting heavily.

Without a doubt, she blocked the attack of the Tai Xu Sword God.

At this moment, Li Sushang was also panting heavily from using the Tai Xu Sword God. Cheng Lingshuang had once told her that the Sword God was nothing special, and she thought it was a joke. She never expected that one day she would actually see the Tai Xu Sword God being broken.

After this battle, Fu Hua finally understood that the fragments of Sword Star could no longer be an obstacle for her.

Immediately following was the battle between the Taixu Sects. Fu Hua did not challenge Li Sushang as the Scarlet Bird Immortal or the patriarch of the Tai Xu Sword Sect, but as himself, as Fu Hua.

The background music also ignited after Fu Hua finished speaking.

The Thousand-Year Feather Sounds!

The audience who witnessed this scene got goosebumps.

"Here you go!"

Ignoring Kalpas sitting behind her, Pardo excitedly stood up.

Kalpas's face immediately darkened, though the sunglasses and mask made him completely invisible.

Burn.

It's not just ordinary excitement that can get the audience thrilled; it's the foreshadowing and plot twists that are built up, along with some background music, that stirs the audience's emotions.

"How can there be seven more monstrous creatures?!"

Little Knowledge was smiling quite happily.

But when he saw the seven disciples appear, his face immediately darkened.

Especially seeing Fu Hua with her seven disciples.

This was even more difficult for her to accept.

"I'm really fed up. They're like a leech. If those seven people existed in real life, I'd beat them to a pulp!"

Little Knowledge angrily slammed his fist on the armrest of the seat.

Fu Hua was already at her wit's end.

"It seems that this chapter mainly focuses on Fu Hua, making her character more complete. The previous chapter mainly focused on Bronya and Rita. I thought it would be the main characters' plan to fight Otto's evil scheme."

Elysia leaned against Eden's soft yet strong shoulder, playing with Eden's hair.

Eden even untied his low ponytail and let his hair down, just to pamper Elysia.

"That's the difference between Fu Hua and Kevin."

Eden said with a smile.

"What?"

Elysia didn't understand and looked at Eden's beautiful profile with a puzzled expression.

Seeing this adorable scene, Eden couldn't help but pinch Elysia's cheek.

"Kevin is still stuck in the past, while Fu Hua has already looked to the future. From now on, the Scarlet Bird Immortal, the Fusion Warrior, Watson, and all the past events will become a part of Fu Hua, but Kevin is still obsessed with the Stigmata Project."

"Oh, oh, oh."

Elysia nodded vigorously.

"Hua, do you like this kind of storyline?"

Sakura said to Fu Hua.

Fu Hua nodded without the slightest hesitation.

The sadness brought by the Honkai sword is far less than the emotion; it is a romance unique to Honkai.

The battle between Fu Hua and Li Sushang gradually came to an end. Whether it was Li Sushang's sword formation or Fu Hua's ink-wash style fist technique, it was a visually stunning special effects feast that was sure to delight the audience.

Schicksal has no shortage of money or technology, so Yaqing naturally pursues the ultimate, not to mention that she also has orders personally given by Otto.

"I only have one sword left to strike, Fu Hua."

Li Sushang said this, but there was a smile in her eyes.

Fu Hua honestly apologized, explaining that she couldn't use her full strength because she still had to help Tiana.

"This... this is the final strike!"

The sword flashed.

Both sides distanced themselves and turned their backs to each other.

Fu Hua was backstabbed. Li Sushang said she only had the strength left for one more sword strike, but she struck twice. She was careless and wanted to conserve her strength, but she lost because of it.

Fu Hua collapsed.

After Fu Hua lost consciousness, Li Sushang sighed. There was no such thing as winning or losing; the only one who wanted to win was herself. If Fu Hua had considered her own interests more, the outcome would have been uncertain.

Li Sushang never thought she would win, and Otto never mentioned the next opportunity. She suddenly realized something: what if Otto didn't think she would win either?

"What our grandmaster wanted to do, he finally accomplished."

Li Sushang walked up to Fu Hua, picked her up, and carried her to a safe place. The rest of the plan was no longer relevant to these two exhausted women.

Fu Hua stared wide-eyed at Li Sushang's actions.

She came to deceive and ambush, she's a 50,000-year-old comrade.

"It can be said that like teacher, like student."

Sakura couldn't help but smile.

First, Fu Hua tricked Li Sushang into using the Tai Xu Sword God. Then, Li Sushang deceived Fu Hua, saying she only had the strength for one sword strike left, but secretly used two sword strikes and won the battle.

Little Knowledge, no longer caring about arguing with Fu Hua, grabbed Fu Hua's shoulders and shook her wildly.

"Old fogey, how could you possibly lose to this?"

"You had so many advantages, and you still lost? Do you even know how to play?!"

"You're so reckless, you're practically drowning in recklessness!"

Little Knowledge was extremely excited.

No one could have imagined that Fu Hua, who had such a winning situation, would backfire because she wanted to conserve her power to help Kiana.

Isn't the Tai Xu Martial Hall's legacy not martial arts, but a scam?

They're all liars, each one more skilled than the last.

She was left behind as an honest person.

Compared to the others, Little Knowledge has relatively few scenes in the story and has no history of deceiving people. She considers herself an honest person.

"Aren't you forcibly sealing Hua's combat power?"

Mobius looked suspicious.

How could that be?

Yaqing would never admit it.

"But that's fine too. After all, they're going to face Otto. Kiana, as the protagonist, will suffer a bit, but she'll most likely not die. Fu Hua, on the other hand, might actually get killed."

Kevin couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief for Fu Hua.

As for how badly Kiana would fare against Otto alone, that was beyond his consideration; he was just grateful if she didn't die.

Meanwhile, at the Schicksal Headquarters.

Durandal and the others silently turned their gazes toward Li Sushang.

Li Sushang blushed.

After all, a victory achieved through deception is not exactly honorable.

"Don't look at me like that. I bet even the screenwriter didn't expect how I would beat the master."

Li Sushang touched the tuft of hair on her head.

Having rediscovered her original passion and returned to her peak, Fu Hua is not someone anyone can easily fool.

"Shangshang, I want to ask a question..."

No! It's not true!

Before Susannah could even ask her question, Li Sushang excitedly interrupted her.

It all boils down to whether your Tai Xu Martial Hall teaches fraudulent methods instead of martial arts, whether you taught President Otto, and whether President Otto would use such methods.
