Supplementing the Sword

Wu Hua smiled and said, "Regardless, your way of thinking is truly admirable. Since ancient times, I doubt anyone in the martial world has ever thought this way." Chu Liuxiang slowly said, "Many years from now, people who think this way will naturally increase day by day. In the future, people will naturally know that martial arts cannot solve everything, and no one in this world has the right to take another person's life." Wu Hua sighed, "That's a matter for the future. Now you..." Chu Liuxiang said, "Now, I will hand you over to someone who can bring you to justice." Wu Hua shouted, "You're going to hand me over to someone else?"

Chu Liuxiang said, "That's right."

Wu Hua laughed wildly, "If you cannot bring me to justice, who else in this world can?" Chu Liuxiang said, "Although these people may not seem particularly noble, the law and rules they represent are something everyone must respect." Wu Hua sneered, "Do you always respect rules?"

Chu Liuxiang said, "We only disdain rules set by a minority. Such rules are naturally not worthy of respect, but no one should ever belittle morality and justice." Wu Hua sighed and said, "Chu Liuxiang, you are truly a strange person, but no matter what, you will never hand me over to those kinds of people."

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "Why? You were once a noble person, and those people wouldn't dare to touch your clothes casually. But who told you to commit such a lowly crime? A prince who breaks the law is punished like a commoner. Don't you understand this saying?"

Wu Hua seemed not to have heard him, merely smiling and murmuring, "Chu Liuxiang, no matter what, you will never get those people to touch even a single finger of mine." As he spoke, his body slowly began to fall.

Thunder and lightning, shaking the heavens and earth.

Chu Liuxiang quickly supported him. In a flash of lightning, he saw his face. This gentle and handsome face had now turned ashen and terrifying.

Chu Liuxiang was horrified and said, "Wu Hua, why are you so foolish? Death! Isn't that also a form of escape?"

Wu Hua opened his eyes, forced a smile, and said, "This is not an escape. I am not afraid to face them. I simply disdain to bow my head before such lowly people." A brilliant light suddenly reappeared in his eyes, and he said, "No matter what I have done wrong, I am still a noble person, far nobler than most people in this world. Chu Liuxiang, do you admit this?" His eyes gradually closed.

"Wu Hua!" As Chu Liuxiang was filled with sorrow, he suddenly noticed a figure appearing in the vast night. Turning his head, he saw it was "Bai Yu Jing"!

"Clap, clap, clap..." He Heng looked at the lifeless Wu Hua with a smile and actually applauded.

"Tsk tsk, good acting, Wu Hua. The Oscars owe you a little golden statue..." He Heng gazed indifferently at Wu Hua, his tone extremely cold, with a hint of amusement.

"Longevity Sword, Bai Yu Jing?" Chu Liuxiang suddenly raised his head, staring coldly at He Heng, his eyes filled with vigilance and solemnity. Then he asked blankly, "What do you want here now?"

"What do I want? Why don't you guess, Commander Chu? They say you are exceptionally intelligent and can perceive everything with ease. Today, I want to see it for myself." He Heng glanced at Chu Liuxiang and said faintly.

Hearing this, Chu Liuxiang's lips revealed a wry smile, and he said, "I truly cannot fathom your intentions, sir."

He Heng smiled, looked deeply at Chu Liuxiang, and revealed a hint of ferocity, saying, "Actually, it's nothing major. I just want to add another sword strike to him."

As he said this, He Heng tightly gripped the hilt of the Longevity Sword, his gaze coldly fixed on Wu Hua, who had already fallen.

"What?" Chu Liuxiang's expression changed. He quickly moved to block He Heng, saying sternly, "Even if Wu Hua did wrong, he has now used his life to atone for all his sins. If you intend to do anything to his remains, then I will absolutely not permit it."

As Chu Liuxiang spoke these words, his eyes were filled with determination and fearlessness. He stared coldly at He Heng, his expression solemn and reverent.

To this, He Heng let out a cold laugh and said, "Well said, Commander Chu, who is loyal and righteous yet blind!"

"However, are you saying you intend to stop me?"

He Heng's tone was filled with icy chill, and his words revealed a great deal of killing intent. A colossal aura directly enveloped Chu Liuxiang.

The air seemed to freeze in an instant. Chu Liuxiang felt an aura as heavy as a mountain fiercely enveloping him from all sides, leaving him no room to breathe.

Chu Liuxiang had countless friends and encountered countless enemies throughout his life. He had seen more than he could count of powerful individuals, but one or two with such an aura stood out. This was the first time he had faced someone like this.

His years of cultivated, terrifying intuition told him that this was extremely dangerous, and the person before him could absolutely kill him. However, this was no reason to retreat. Chu Liuxiang's eyes were unwavering, and he looked coldly at He Heng.

"If you are truly determined to do this, then step over me."

He Heng glanced slightly at Chu Liuxiang and snorted, "There is no one in this world who can stop me from doing what I want."

"Then I would like to try," Chu Liuxiang's tone was incredibly firm.

Ching!

Accompanied by a crisp sword hum, He Heng's right hand moved abruptly. The sword light flashed, and sword energy surged like a dragon, radiating light in all directions, cutting through the vast night and striking fiercely.

The terrifying sword light was incomparably sharp, and the air itself exploded from the friction. He Heng's expression was extremely cold, devoid of any emotion, as if he were a celestial being looking down upon the mortal world.

In a flash, Chu Liuxiang's figure moved. Afterimages weaved and dodged through He Heng's sword lights, constantly closing in on He Heng.

He Heng's expression was as cold as the heavens. In an instant, he unleashed another brilliant sword light, a sword energy far more radiant than the previous one.

It seemed to come extremely slowly, yet it was exceptionally terrifying, accumulating inch by inch, giving off an unstoppable aura. Chu Liuxiang's back was already covered in cold sweat. He now felt like a lone boat adrift in a vast ocean, engulfed by towering waves. The overwhelming sword energy and killing intent, like a collapsed dam, instantly poured down upon him.

The sword momentum was surging, like aged wine that had been brewing to its peak for a hundred years, seemingly freezing one's soul in an instant.

Chu Liuxiang knew he should dodge and how to dodge, but his body was no longer under his control. He couldn't make any movement, as if he had been frozen by the sword energy.

"Hiss..." Chu Liuxiang's heart was filled with extreme gravity. Facing this perfect, seemingly otherworldly sword strike, a deathly chill enveloped his entire body.

He could not dodge this sword, nor could he block it!

Watching the slender Longevity Sword slowly grind towards him, Chu Liuxiang's heart grew colder. He felt as if he could already hear the call of death, but he refused to accept his fate.

Although his mind could no longer control his body, Chu Liuxiang was, after all, Chu Liuxiang. His body possessed a certain instinct. He involuntarily leaped forward, narrowly evading the edge of the sword. But was He Heng's sword so easily dodged?

The moment Chu Liuxiang leaped, He Heng's sword momentum directly changed. With an even more exquisite maneuver, he thrust towards Chu Liuxiang's back.

Chu Liuxiang's will could now control his body, but it was too late. He Heng's sword was simply too fast. In a mere fraction of a second, the sword light had already enveloped Chu Liuxiang's back. In the next moment, Chu Liuxiang would be disemboweled.

Just as Chu Liuxiang fell into despair, he suddenly noticed that He Heng's seemingly flawless sword momentum had changed again, or rather, it had deviated slightly. This was a mistake an excellent swordsman should never make, but Chu Liuxiang was no longer in the mood to think about other things.

The deviation of He Heng's sword was not large, only an inch or two. But for Chu Liuxiang, this was the distance between life and death.

He sharply turned his body, and the sword energy grazed his shoulder, leaving a deep bloody gash. Blood dripped down. If the sword energy had not deviated by that inch or two, it would have sliced through his chest.

As it was, Chu Liuxiang only suffered a minor injury and was gasping for air, having narrowly escaped death.

"Excellent! Commander Chu, your Qinggong is truly unparalleled in the world." He Heng praised without reservation. Although the slight deviation of an inch or two was a deliberate opening he had left for Chu Liuxiang to escape, the fact that the other party could seize that opening at the last moment and dodge his sword strike, which ranked among the top five in the world, was undeniably astonishing.

Chu Liuxiang, meanwhile, was catching his breath. The terrifying sword strike had truly scared him to death. Now that he had survived, he naturally breathed in the air greedily.

"Not good!" In the next moment, Chu Liuxiang suddenly exclaimed, his gaze sharply turning towards He Heng.

At this moment, after Chu Liuxiang dodged his sword strike, He Heng's sword momentum shifted again, fiercely slashing towards Wu Hua, who lay motionless on the ground.

Chu Liuxiang anxiously leaped from the ground, his figure suddenly erupting as he charged towards Wu Hua, but it was already too late.

He Heng's terrifying sword momentum had already enveloped Wu Hua's entire body. In an instant, it could completely tear Wu Hua's body apart. Chu Liuxiang had absolutely no time to stop it.

"No!"
