The Might of the Yellow Springs Saber! Situ Rui [Begging for Support!]

[Step on Grass +1!]

[Mimic Tiger Roar +1!]

[Hidden Blood +1!]

[...]

Qin Shuang had green grass stuffed under his shoes as he executed Grass on Flying, racing forward while letting out low tiger roars. His left hand held Hidden Blood, his right hand spun a Pill, and in his mind, the sounds rang out like rapid fire.

His speed was considerable. Half an hour later, he stood at the entrance of Fusheng Restaurant, carrying over a dozen steamed buns and a roast chicken.

He pushed open the door.

Qin Shuang headed straight for the Third Floor, but didn't see Nangong Wan'er's figure.

Just as he was wondering, a voice like an oriole sounded from behind him. "You're back?"

"Mm."

"Here's the food."

Qin Shuang turned to look at Nangong Wan'er and handed her the steamed buns and roast chicken. He noticed that her complexion today was much better than before.

"Are you going out again?"

Nangong Wan'er took the buns and chicken and asked.

"Yes. I went to Xuan Yin Mountain Range and killed a White Jade Golden Pattern Python. I need to buy an Alchemy Furnace to refine its essence blood."

Qin Shuang nodded and said.

"Alright, go ahead..."

Nangong Wan'er nodded, about to say something more, when suddenly her pretty face changed. She stared at a rooftop across from the restaurant, her beautiful eyes turning grave.

"Miss Nangong...?"

Seeing her expression shift, Qin Shuang immediately asked.

"People from the Divine Saber Sect have arrived. Go downstairs first."

Nangong Wan'er said to Qin Shuang.

At this moment, her expression was extremely serious. She hadn't expected Situ Rui to be so patient, still lingering in Qingzhou City. If he waited just one more day, she wouldn't have worried.

Because.

Her injuries were over ninety percent healed. In just one more day, she would be fully recovered!

Then, she would have the confidence to evade Situ Rui's pursuit.

"Hmph!"

"You dare harbor a traitor of my Divine Saber Sect, and you still want to live?"

"Let me send you both to hell!"

Just then, a chilling voice rang out. The moment it reached his ears, Qin Shuang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cellar, like being locked onto by a venomous snake!

With the voice, a tall, Brocade-robed Youth, around twenty-three or twenty-four years old, appeared on the rooftop across the Long Street, a saber strapped to his back. He had a saber strapped to his back.

This Brocade-robed Youth had thick eyebrows and deep-set eyes, giving off an impression of deep cunning.

Behind him now appeared a one-zhang-wide circular White Light Wheel, radiating brilliant light with two red Halos at its edges, exuding a powerful and terrifying aura that made it impossible to look directly at him!

"Situ Rui, without your father's Startling Swan Saber, you alone are no match for me!"

Nangong Wan'er stared at the Brocade Clothes youth across from her, her beautiful eyes wary as she spoke in a low voice.

"Nangong Wan'er, do you think I'll fall for your provocation and not use the Startling Swan Saber?"

Situ Rui's gaze roamed brazenly over Nangong Wan'er's figure as he let out a sinister laugh. "Dream on! I'm going to capture you alive and have my way with you. When the time comes, you won't want to kill me!"

"Zheng!!"

Nangong Wan'er's pretty face turned cold with Sha as her long saber suddenly left its sheath, pointing at Situ Rui. She wasn't afraid of him—only wary of his Startling Swan Saber's overwhelming sharpness!

"Miss Nangong, use this saber!"

Qin Shuang looked at Situ Rui across the way, narrowed his eyes, and handed the Yellow Springs Saber to Nangong Wan'er.

From her words, he gathered that her inability to defeat Situ Rui wasn't due to inferior strength, but because he wielded a saber called Startling Swan!

If Nangong Wan'er lost, he himself would surely die.

So.

Giving her the Yellow Springs Saber might tip the odds!

This Yellow Springs Saber, obtained from that mysterious Senior, could cut through iron like mud. Qin Shuang had a feeling this blade was extraordinary.

"This..."

Nangong Wan'er looked at Qin Shuang, a flicker of thought in her beautiful eyes. Her own saber was also a thousand-refined treasure blade, but it was a grade below the Startling Swan Saber.

The saber in Qin Shuang's hand was pitch-black. Could it really be stronger than her thousand-refined blade?

Nevertheless, Nangong Wan'er still took the black saber from Qin Shuang's hand. The moment she received the Yellow Springs, a flicker of surprise passed through her beautiful eyes.

The instant she touched Qin Shuang's blade, she felt it was quite heavy, and moreover, a chill like ten-thousand-year-old ice surged into her meridians!

"Hmph! No matter what saber you use, it won't change your outcome! Make your move!"

The Brocade-robed Youth Situ Rui finished speaking, his figure leaping into the air. He suddenly drew his saber, a flash of White Light appearing, and a three-zhang blade light descended like a startled swan, slashing down at Nangong Wan'er's head!

"Clang!"

Nangong Wan'er drew the Yellow Springs Saber, and a white Divine Wheel appeared around her, identical to Situ Rui's!

Its edge also bore two Halos!

An equally terrifying aura radiated from her body!

Nangong Wan'er charged at Situ Rui, swinging her saber in a single stroke. Instantly, a three-zhang Azure Blade Light shot forth, clashing against Situ Rui's white blade light. Qin Shuang, standing beside Nangong Wan'er, felt an extreme, biting cold spreading from the Yellow Springs Saber!

The surrounding temperature dropped five or six times in an instant!

Qin Shuang quickly used his movement technique to retreat, putting some distance between himself and Nangong Wan'er.

"Clang!"

"Clink!"

"Boom!"

A series of earth-shaking sounds rang out as the two clashed repeatedly in midair!

The force surged skyward, instantly shearing off half of the Fusheng Restaurant's Third Floor. A two-foot-long piece of blade flew up, landing on the Long Street dozens of zhang away. The savage, immense force sent the blue stone slabs of the street flying over a zhang high!

The moment Situ Rui's and Nangong Wan'er's sabers clashed, he felt his hand suddenly grow light. Then, a sharp pain struck his chest, and his figure was sent flying into the distance by a tremendous force!

"My saber... No!"

As Situ Rui landed, he looked at the Startling Swan Saber in his hand, now nothing but a hilt, and his eyes filled with shock and disbelief.

How was this possible?

The Startling Swan Saber was his father's treasured weapon from years past, a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact that could cut through iron like mud and negate thirty percent of an enemy's power. How could it have been severed by the saber in Nangong Wan'er's hand?

Could it be that the saber in Nangong Wan'er's hand had already surpassed a Mid-grade Spirit Artifact and given birth to an Artifact Spirit?

"Pfft!"

Situ Rui spat out a mouthful of blood. As the blood hit the ground, it instantly turned into bloody ice shards!

He looked down and found a terrifying wound on his chest, so deep the bone was visible. The Dragon Scale Armor his father had given him was also split open by this strike. A wave of lingering fear washed over him—if not for this Dragon Scale Armor blocking some of the blade light, he would already be dead!

"What saber is this?"

Watching Nangong Wan'er closing in for the kill, a flash of terror crossed Situ Rui's eyes. The two Divine Wheels behind him blazed with light, and the wound on his chest gradually stopped bleeding. He retreated, landing on a rooftop dozens of zhang away, and vanished from sight in the blink of an eye!

"Nangong Wan'er, you little bastard, you won't escape!"

A furious voice came from the distance, gradually fading as Situ Rui fled.

At this moment.

The battle between Nangong Wan'er and Situ Rui had already drawn the attention of many commoners and Jianghu wanderers, who gathered in the distance, buzzing with discussion.

"This is..."

Qin Shuang noticed that Nangong Wan'er did not press her advantage to pursue Situ Rui. Instead, her pretty face was solemn as she set the Yellow Springs Saber aside, sat cross-legged on the Third Floor, and began circulating her technique to regulate her breathing. He was deeply puzzled.

As Nangong Wan'er regulated her breathing, Qin Shuang saw frost forming all over her body, even her delicate brows turning white.
