Primordial Energy Rampart, Heart-Locking Tribulation (Part 1)

Yu Ci looked at the headless body across his knees. A mist of blood sprayed out, scattering everywhere around him, yet not a single drop touched him. Lu Suhua's sword had slain Lu Erniang only as an afterthought; her true target had been him. But after slicing through Lu Erniang's jade-white neck, that razor-sharp Sword Qi had dissipated before the barrier of Three-Party Primordial Energy. Even as Lu Suhua's words fell, her icy blade had already torn through the bloody light and come straight at him. The second sword! Yu Ci frowned, yet did not dodge, allowing Lu Suhua's sword to strike him again. With a strange hiss, the blade scraped against the Three-Party Primordial Energy. That sword force, capable of cleaving gold and severing jade, melted away completely amid the eerie sound. Lu Suhua's gaze sharpened further. Her sword-rainbow soared and swayed, her killing intent bearing down. In the blink of an eye, Yu Ci took another sword strike. The wooden chair beneath him could not withstand the pressure of the collision, especially the naturally formed twisting force when the Three-Party Primordial Energy surged. It crumbled soundlessly, while he maintained his seated posture and slid straight backward more than ten feet, only stopping when he slammed into the rear wall. The entire room shook, as though it would collapse the next moment. The musicians and dancing girls in the corner screamed ever more shrilly, but neither Yu Ci nor Lu Suhua paid them any heed. Lu Suhua in particular had landed three consecutive strikes without achieving anything. The force she had been pressing down with immediately ebbed away. At last, she stopped attacking and stared at Yu Ci, lost in thought. Only then did Lu Erniang's head roll to the floor, her hair disheveled and her eyes still open.
