Lu Mingxuan sensed someone chasing him. His sword light slowed slightly, and upon seeing Chen Shuangbai, he hurriedly said, " Junior Brother Chen, this matter has nothing to do with you. Those two demonic beasts are after me. You don't need to..."
Chen Shuangbai interrupted him, her tone calm yet firm.
"Senior brother's words have hurt my feelings. Now that we are on the same side, we are comrades-in-arms. How can we sit idly by?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Mingxuan felt a surge of warmth in his heart.
Although the Jade Spring Sect is now coming to the aid of the Empty Sword Sect, everyone in the Empty Sword Sect knows that the most important fighting force in this war still needs to come from within the sect itself.
Furthermore, given Chen Shuangbai's skill in alchemy and his unique poison-removing incantations, he is probably not adept at magical combat.
Thinking of this, Lu Mingxuan couldn't help but sigh, and was about to say, "Junior brother, don't you dare..."
But before he could finish speaking, a series of crystal-clear purple light spikes suddenly flew from the distant forest and were already in front of him in an instant.
Lu Mingxuan frowned slightly, and the glittering Law Sword at his waist leaped up, bringing with it a dazzling light, and shattered it along with the sword.
"That cowardly beast will only resort to underhanded tricks!"
That's all.
He became one with the flying sword, unleashing streaks of golden light as he slashed through the forest, carving furrows into the earth.
A sinister sound came from the forest, and then one after another, unknown Demon Beast that looked like they had been skinned alive jumped out.
One after another, fearlessly charging towards Lu Mingxuan, and then... exploding with a deafening roar.
Lu Mingxuan and Chen Shuangbai briefly separated into two groups.
Lu Mingxuan was locked in a fierce battle with the Heart-Eroding Devil Cultivator who was hiding in the forest.
The title "[ Horizontal Mountain Sword ]" is truly well-deserved!
The golden sword light was as solid and substantial as the earth, yet it also possessed a sharpness capable of splitting mountains and shattering rocks, preventing the self-destruction of those fearless, skinned Demon Beast from harming him in the slightest.
However, the Devil Cultivator in the forest clearly knew Lu Mingxuan's methods and was unwilling to confront him directly. He simply kept him at bay from a distance, seemingly trying to deplete Lu Mingxuan's Law Power.
Chen Shuangbai wanted to draw his sword to help, but a dark light suddenly rose from behind, revealing a thin, pale-faced male cultivator wearing a black robe embroidered with ferocious scorpion patterns.
The male cultivator looked at Chen Shuangbai, especially examining the patterns on the Jade Begets Sweet Spring, and grinned maliciously, "Disciple of the Jade Spring Sect."
Chen Shuangbai thought this person was going to talk about their night raid on the three earth energy nodes the previous day, but to his surprise, the person grinned and said this.
"The bones of the Empty Sword Sect disciples are too hard. The bodies of your Jade Spring Sect disciples, nourished by moisture, are most suitable for forging my family's Law Artifact."
Chen Shuangbai's face gradually darkened.
The Heart-Eroding Devil Cultivator's grin widened, and he said in a low voice, "How is it? Are you angry?"
"Do you really want to kill me?"
"To be honest, I really want to kill you too!"
He grinned maliciously, revealing several bulging leather pouches hanging from his waist, each pouch faintly glowing with a poisonous green light. Suddenly, a hook with a ghostly blue luster appeared in his hand.
"It'll be good that you die knowing why. The one who killed you was Xue Pan of the Hundred Poisons Lineage of Heart-Eroding Stronghold!"
Chen Shuangbai nodded, her tone calm. "Very well, then you're no longer a nameless nobody who died by my sword."
Upon hearing this, Xue Pan was first taken aback, then his sinister smile grew even more rampant, and he suddenly shouted loudly, "You're courting death!"
He tossed it with a flick of his wrist, and the poisoned hook traced a ghostly blue arc before vanishing mysteriously into the air.
Xue Pan pondered silently.
The most dangerous aspect of his poisoned hook isn't actually the poison on it, but rather its unpredictable attack method; once thrown, it seems to disappear from the opponent's sight.
Only after I came to my senses did I realize that I had been hooked.
But Chen Shuangbai showed no panic. She simply looked at him calmly and said, "Go!"
then.
The azure Law Sword at his waist leaped up, like a lithe ice dragon, its head held high and chest puffed out as it drew an arc, striking the vanished poison hook with a clang.
Furthermore, a crack appeared where it was struck, and frost seeped into it, continuously damaging the spiritual energy within.
"What... Sword Qi?!"
Xue Pan was startled, but Chen Shuangbai's attack had already arrived.
Three dark blue Sword Qi arrived one after another, forming a triangular shape, blocking Xue Pan's three escape routes: top, middle, and bottom. The latter's expression turned solemn, knowing that this was not someone to be trifled with. He hurriedly patted the Storage Bag at his waist, from which three ferocious wolf spiders flew out.
Before these tarantulas could even display their true power, Sword Qi pierced through their bellies, and juices and organs gushed out onto the ground.
The Sword Qi energy continued its relentless advance, heading straight for Xue Pan's face.
Xue Pan's face paled in shock, clearly aware of the power of the Sword Qi.
However, Chen Shuangbai's Sword Qi came too fast, so he could only urge the poison hook Law Artifact again, causing its size to suddenly increase and release a burst of dark blue light to block in front of him.
Click!
The cracks on the poison hook, already caused by the previous clash, suddenly widened!
The frost, carrying a chill, frantically eroded the spirituality of the Law Artifact. In a daze, it seemed as if a mournful cry was heard. The eerie blue light surrounding the Law Artifact dimmed by more than half, and even a thin layer of white frost condensed on its entire surface.
"My Scorpion King Hook!"
Xue Pan was both shocked and furious. He felt a chilling coldness emanating from his hand, making his veins feel unbearably cold, but he couldn't bear to part with the Law Artifact.
Chen Shuangbai flicked his finger, and Cold Spring Quanxin moved at will, transforming into a dark blue arc. Taking advantage of the man's distraction, he severed the man's right hand, which was holding the Scorpion King Hook, and it fell into the forest below.
"Ah!!!"
With his right arm severed, Xue Pan couldn't help but let out a piercing wail.
At the same time, a dozen frenzied and monstrous venomous beasts flew out from the Storage Bag at his waist, circling around him to prevent Chen Shuangbai from suddenly severing his head again.
at this time.
The contempt in Xue Pan's eyes had vanished, replaced by solemnity and resentment.
The Scorpion King Hook fell into the forest, like a stone sinking into the sea, without any response.
"You dare to cut off my arm?"
Xue Pan roared venomously, and a bulging leather pouch at his waist burst open.
A thick, dark green poisonous mist erupted, instantly enveloping him for several feet. The stench was overwhelming, and countless tiny, phosphorescent poisonous insects were faintly visible flying and wriggling within it.
"Boy, die in this poisonous miasma!"
Xue Pan's figure disappeared into the poisonous fog, his voice filled with ruthlessness and smugness.
Chen Shuangbai's Sword Qi was unexpected, and he even lost an arm because of it, but that didn't matter.
Sword cultivators are most afraid of this kind of widespread poison.
As long as I maintain this poisonous miasma, no matter how powerful Chen Shuangbai's Sword Qi is, it won't be able to find me. Instead, it will be dragged to its death by my poisonous miasma!
