Give It Everything You've Got, Jingliu / Let Me Show You the Pinnacle of Speed and Strength-

OK.

But as far as I know, given the current situation, even if I am somewhat suspected, I should be sent to the Prison of Deep Seclusion, not the Divine Might Palace?

Upon hearing this, Jingliu, whose left hand was being held by Gwen, tilted his head slightly, showing no sign of nervousness. Instead, he continued to question Gwen's identity.

"Your Cloud Cavalry is so incompetent, Jing Yuan might be exhausted to death by you."

"General Jing Yuan found a Nuclear-Powered Ox-Horse and is now living a rather leisurely life, which can be considered as starting his retirement life ahead of schedule."

Gwen smiled, meeting the Jingliu through the Cloud Cavalry helmet and the black veil that obscured his eyes—

As for whether I am competent or not?

Oh...

I'm not Cloud Cavalry, just a temporary worker. If you want to complain, go find somewhere else. I don't know anything about it.

"Oh?"

Upon hearing this, Jingliu's lips curled up slightly—

"Then..."

"Let's see if you can catch me and take me back!"

His free right hand clenched into a fist, gathering icy intent, and a long, icy blue sword materialized, which he slashed down at Gwen's wrist that was gripping him.

"Suspects these days are really rude."

Faced with this icy, sharp sword strike, Gwen neither dodged nor evaded. Instead, he thrust his hand upwards with an equally icy intent. However, before his palm made contact with the sword's edge, a finger strike pierced out and landed on Jingliu's wrist, instantly neutralizing the power of his sword strike.

"Yeah?"

Even though his sword missed, Jingliu was not angry. His words still carried a faint smile, but the chill emanating from him was no longer concealed and burst forth as he engaged in close combat with Gwen.

"What?"

Sensing something amiss behind him, Yanqing, who had just finished clearing out the Mara-Struck in the area, turned around and was taken aback to see Gwen already fighting with the civilian he had rescued.

While Yanqing was stunned, Gwen and Jingliu had already exchanged dozens of blows. In the lightning-fast exchange, Jingliu finally broke free of control after thirty-three rounds, leaped up, and landed on the beam.

Along with her, Gwen's Formation Blade flew up, slashing towards Jingliu with a chilling aura.

Unable to dodge in time, Jingliu hastily thrust out his sword, nearly falling from the height. The black veil covering his eyes trembled slightly as he was knocked away, slightly out of breath.

When she is in a self-restricted state, her ability to exert her strength is quite limited, especially when facing someone like Gwen whose stats are ridiculously high.

Chapter 908 Let's go all out, Jingliu!

"Sir, do you need my help?"

Sensing the chilling aura Jingliu high above, Yanqing, who had already returned to Gwen's side on his flying sword, frowned and whispered a question to Gwen, his eyes filled with eager anticipation—

Having appeared alone in a cave that should have been devoid of civilians, yet possessing such extraordinary skills, and even launching a fierce attack on Gwen, who was dressed as Cloud Knights, Jingliu was now, in Yanqing's eyes, a clear criminal suspect.

However, although Yanqing had lowered her voice, her words still clearly reached Jingliu's ears—

"Oh...

He's young, but he's got quite the big mouth.

The white-haired swordsman, his eyes veiled in black, lowered his gaze slightly as he looked at the sharp-looking young man.

"The martial arts in the Cloud Knights are passed down in different ways. I wonder who taught you to be a disciple like this."

"Oh..."

Upon hearing Jingliu's somewhat belittling words, Yanqing raised an eyebrow, but a plan immediately formed in his mind—

"It's alright to tell you, the one who taught me swordsmanship was none other than General Jing Yuan of Luofu."

"General?"

Oh..."

Sensing the deliberate emphasis in Yanqing's words, Jingliu's lips curled into a smile—

"As a member of the Cloud Knights, have you completed the evacuation work in the vicinity?"

If I were to make a move... the commotion would be enormous; this entire grotto-heaven might very well turn into a battlefield."

"There's no need to use hostages as leverage. The civilians here have already been evacuated, so there's no one to use as leverage."

Yanqing said loudly.

"Oh...

"Since you are Jing Yuan's disciple, do you dare... to take a single sword strike from me?"

Upon hearing this, Jingliu immediately raised the ice sword in his hand. The invisible chill seemed to carry thousands of sword cries as it pressed down on Yanqing. Even the starlight simulated in the cave seemed to carry an endless chill as it was refracted from the ice sword.

"!"

In that instant, Yanqing felt as if she were being pointed at by thousands of sharp swords. Yanqing's pupils contracted, and all that remained in her eyes was that frost-covered longsword, which looked like a "work of art" that a performance artist had pulled out of an icehouse.

Yanqing's swordsman's intuition kept warning him that he was no match for that woman!

Cannot accept!

Absolutely do not accept this!

You'll definitely die if you accept it!

However, as this immense pressure weighed on his heart, a surge of Gwen's Final Sword and the chivalrous Sea Ranger of those who roamed the world, welled up within Yanqing. This spirit instantly suppressed his fear, and he gripped the hilt of his sword tightly—

"Then come on, you madman!"

As a swordsman on a Xianzhou, whose goal is the Luofu Fu Sword Master, he cannot be so weak as to lack the courage to even wield his sword simply because he is outmatched!

Upon hearing Yanqing's answer, Jingliu's lips seemed to curl slightly.

A biting chill suddenly permeated the surrounding air, as if even the heavens and earth had frozen in place.

Jingliu remained motionless, yet the surrounding light seemed to collapse towards the sword in her hand, which appeared to be formed from eternal ice and the cold moonlight.

The moment she raised her hand, time seemed to stretch out. Although it was daytime, a cold, sharp light, like a lonely moon in the sky, seemed to quietly bloom, without a sound, yet containing a pure will to decide life and death.

It seemed like a casual wave of the hand, yet it seemed to reflect endless illusions, and then an endless coldness froze them all, leaving only the icy chill that seemed to have been cast aside all worldly attachments.

The trajectory of the sword light was unremarkable, but in Yanqing's eyes it seemed mysterious and indescribable, impossible to avoid or dodge, and even the hum of the famous sword in his hand seemed to be in fear.

But even amidst this chilling landscape reminiscent of a desolate planet, Yanqing, sword in hand, felt his heart still pounding, as if transcending time and space to resonate with the Sea Ranger who relentlessly pursued the task of slaying the Annihilation Lord.

The only solution is to draw your sword!

His body was so powerful that he could barely stand up, but it didn't matter, he still had the sword in his hand!

Compared to the icy blades falling from the sky, the longsword, seemingly too frail, was resolutely thrust out, facing the challenge head-on with unparalleled determination and will—

Boom!

Ice shards flew everywhere, and the seemingly invincible sword was pierced straight through by Yanqing, losing all its power that had turned day into eternal night.

"Huff... huff..."

The blond boy was panting heavily, but there was no relief in his eyes from surviving the ordeal, only pride in having swung his sword.

"Gentlemen!"

The next moment, Yanqing's eyes were filled with determination. He called out to Gwen, urging him to leave quickly. This woman was not simple and was not someone they could defeat. They had to leave this place, seal off this cave, and mobilize heavy troops to invite experts to besiege and kill her.

However, Yanqing's words received no response, as if Gwen, who was standing beside him, had disappeared.

Yanqing flashed out of the icy mist and looked around, only to find that not only Gwen, but even the madwoman was gone.

"This is bad, we must report to the general immediately."

Realizing that Gwen might be Jingliu that crazy woman, Jingliu, Yanqing quickly took out her Jade Abacus (phone), but then heard Jing Yuan's voice in her ear—

"Alright, stop looking, they're not in this area anymore."

"General?"

Yanqing was taken aback and looked at her phone—

I haven't even dialed yet, General. When did you learn the art of transmitting sound across vast distances?

But the different caves on Luofu are almost independent spaces. Even your telepathic communication technique can't reach them.

Jing Yuan, however, had no idea what Yanqing was thinking, and simply gave the order in a drawn-out voice:

"Gwen just used his spatial abilities to pull that person into another dimension. You should leave here first to avoid being accidentally injured."

"This is..."

Jingliu sensed the sudden change in the surrounding environment and turned towards Gwen—

Even though her eyes were covered by a black veil, Jingliu was certain that she was no longer in that grotto-heaven on Luofu.

"My mental landscape?"

Or you could call it Inherent Domain, Stigmata Space, Meta-Domain, a Narac Dimension—whatever you like, it's basically an alternate dimension that I've created.

Gwen spoke casually, glancing at Jingliu, who showed no panic despite being pulled into the alternate dimension, but instead appeared even more aloof after unleashing that sword Jingliu—

"You seem to be having a hard time, Miss Jingliu, because you want to test your little grand-disciple while also controlling your strength so as not to hurt Jing Yuan's child?"

"Oh?

"Do you recognize me?"

Jingliu's eyes narrowed slightly beneath the black veil, and her tone changed abruptly.

"I just happened to discover a conspiracy related to Luofu. Before coming here, I looked up some information about Luofu, and you were among them. You captured the former Sword Master Jingliu, the former leader of Bu Borisin Hoolay."

Gwen calmly looked at the aloof, silver-haired swordsman, unmoved by the other's tone—

"Since you've been holding back for so long, why not let loose and cause a ruckus to relax? And let me see just how powerful you really are, considering you're one of the most powerful mortals out there."

"After you've vented your anger, I'll send you back to the Divine Might Palace and hand you over to your good disciple, Jing Yuan."

Chapter 909 Shows You the Ultimate Level of Speed and Power—

"Oh..."

Hearing Gwen's tone, which sounded as if he had everything under control, Jingliu couldn't help but sneer. His usual aloof demeanor was instantly replaced by a dangerous aura, like a wild beast ready to devour its prey.

"You yourself said that you are not a member of the Xianzhou."

Now that Luofu is fraught with crisis, how can I believe you're not trying to use me to incite another disturbance?

Whether you believe it or not is your business.

Gwen shook his head, his right hand forming a fist, and a Xuanyuan Sword — the Key of Domination with enhanced durability—formed between his five fingers.

"But whether or not I resort to violence is my business—"

Before the words were even finished, the not-so-distant distance between them was already cleaved by the Blazing Sun sword energy, which swept straight toward Jingliu.

Even with the black veil still covering her face, Jingliu simply shifted her feet and dodged the attack with a slight movement.

But after that, a vast ocean of densely packed, almost endless sword energy surged forth, leaving her no room to dodge and only one option: to fight.

"Since that's the case—"

"Don't die!"

Realizing he had no choice but to fight this battle, Jingliu's lips finally parted, revealing a slightly manic smile.

Gwen was right; even though she had restrained her Mara-Struck, she still found it very difficult to endure.

Gwen's strength might indeed allow her to vent her frustrations.

"Then let's go!"

Sensing the increasingly surging aura emanating from Jingliu, Gwen chuckled softly, and the sword light in his hand grew even clearer.

In the blink of an eye, the two had clashed nearly a hundred times. The newly created alternate space was already filled with flying sword energy. The collision of their sword intents created all sorts of strange phenomena.

As the battle progressed, Jingliu's aura steadily increased—

She cannot go all out until she has confirmed Gwen's strength and the stability of this alternate dimension.

Hundreds of years ago, when General Jing Yuan was still a newly appointed official, Jingliu had already committed an unforgivable crime, nearly destroying an entire grotto-heaven.

Her return to Luofu this time is to use the power of the alliance to end the Plagues Author, not to cause trouble.

If Gwen's alternate dimension couldn't withstand her power and collapsed directly, wouldn't she have blown up a cave in Luofu before even reaching a cooperation agreement?
