Chapter 2561: Chapter 2535: The Power of the Life and Death Body (Five Updates)
Lu Yuan furrowed his brows in deep thought before speaking with an odd expression, “The top powerhouse of the inner sanctums, Han Ke, known for his strength?”
With a brilliant smile, Han Jiaojiao said, “Haven’t you noticed how similar we look?”
For a moment, the Immortal Heart Forest fell silent. The disciples who had been noisy before all fell quiet upon hearing the name Han Ke.
Divine Elephant Fist Han Ke, ranked thirty-third among the inner sanctums!
This man is extremely belligerent and fierce, often getting into fights at the slightest disagreement. As such, he is well-known throughout the Divine Extreme Sect, be it the Inner Courtyard, Outer Court, or the Servant Institute.
Upon hearing Han Jiaojiao’s words, Lu Yuan’s expression changed drastically!
The confidence and righteousness he carried vanished in an instant; his back was soaked with cold sweat as he suddenly remembered — it was said that Han Ke had a younger female cousin who had joined the outer sanctums of the Divine Extreme Sect…
Once, an arrogant Outer Court lad, stronger than Lu Yuan by more than ten ranks, had inadvertently offended this cousin and was left crippled, subsequently withdrawing from the sect of his own accord…
Producing a Communication Jade Token and tossing it in hand, Han Jiaojiao laughed, “Will you continue to uphold justice, Young Master Lu?”
“Well… that… I…” Lu Yuan stammered with trembling lips, “Fairy Han, you’ve misunderstood me; I didn’t mean that. I am… I am…”
Lowering his head and not daring to look at Chu Ying, he continued, “I’m here to support you; you’re doing the right thing. As disciples of the Divine Extreme Sect, the sect is our pride. How could we not wear our sect’s attire…”
He admitted defeat, and it was clear to anyone listening—he was softening his stance, eating his own words. One could say that he had thoroughly lost face, and moreover, in front of many people.
Lu Yuan felt an overwhelming sense of humiliation!
Yet, he had no choice but to act this way, daring not to show even a hint of resentment. If Han Ke were truly to come, he wouldn’t even get a chance to yield!
“Hehe,” Han Jiaojiao pointed at Chu Ying and chuckled, “Tell me, does she dress provocatively?”
Lowering his head even further, Lu Yuan muttered, “Provocative.”
“Did you hear that?” said Han Jiaojiao dismissively, looking at Chu Ying, “It’s not just me targeting you; others are saying it too.”
Chu Ying gave Lu Yuan a cold glance, feeling disgusted.
If it were Ye Chen, even with Han Jiaojiao’s strong background, he definitely would not be as weak-willed and nauseating as Lu Yuan.
“Fairy Han, if there’s nothing else, I’ll take my leave…”
“Scram,” Han Jiaojiao waved her hand dismissively.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to leave, Han Jiaojiao coldly said, “I told you to scram, not to walk.”
Lu Yuan trembled—Han Jiaojiao was too much, too unforgiving! Such words could doom him to never raise his head again within the sect in this lifetime!
Even though he had yielded, did it still have to be this way?
“What? Don’t want to scram? Then stay,” she said.
“I’ll scram…” Clenching his teeth, Lu Yuan said, “I’ll scram!” and with that, he actually bent over and rolled away like a ball towards the edge of the Immortal Heart Forest, his white Daoist robe now smudged with dirt.
The saying goes: Han Ke is not to be trifled with. Humiliation or life—Lu Yuan chose humiliation!
“Now…” Stretching out the Dragonslayer Sword, Han Jiaojiao took aim at Chu Ying’s lovely face, “no one’s there to help you, are they?”
This strike, although not truly damaging Chu Ying, would undoubtedly leave her face red and swollen.
However, a crisp ringing sound was heard as the strike was blocked.
In Chu Ying’s hand now appeared an Ancient Sword, a gift from Tu Lanxin.
She blocked Han Jiaojiao’s sword, a faint fire of rage flickering in her beautiful eyes as she coldly said, “If you want to fight, then fight. Don’t disgust me.”
“Hehe!” Han Jiaojiao’s smile suddenly turned ferocious: “Fight? What kind of fight? I am teaching you how to behave!”
As her words fell, the Dragonslayer Sword in Han Jiaojiao’s hand suddenly burst into a wave of scorching red sword light, with the concentrated spiritual energy of the Late Great Void realm surging, she slashed out at Chu Ying!
The sword light was piercingly cold, chilling to the core!
The entire Immortal Heart Forest trembled under the sword light! The high temperatures twisted the air, with the searing heat enveloping, everyone felt as if they were standing in a sea of fire!
The ruthless cold of the sword and the intense heat of the sword light merged into one!
This sword, although not incredibly heaven-defying, is certainly not easy to catch. It fully displays the overpowering strength of Late-stage Great Void Martial Artists!
And this sword was still aimed at Chu Ying’s face!
But, even if this sword didn’t hit, just a slight graze, and Chu Ying’s face would be completely destroyed!
With such a vicious strike from the outset, those unaware would think that Han Jiaojiao and Chu Ying had some life-and-death feud!
But in fact, they had only met for the first time today! They hadn’t even spoken a word!
Han Jiaojiao was simply envious of Chu Ying’s beauty, hence the ruthless attack!
Facing that incoming red light, bright multicolored lights suddenly flashed from Chu Ying’s eyes, her vision turning a grayish-white. The outlines of all things became crystal clear, even the red glow formed by spiritual energy.
Everything in the world turned into a complex array of lines, and among these lines, Chu Ying spotted a deep black dot.
She knew that dot symbolized death!
The so-called Life and Death Body is the ability to perceive the essence of creation and destruction in things, gained by those who have lingered between life and death for a long time!
Chu Ying moved swiftly, retreating at high speed, while stabbing out with her sword at the incoming red light!
Rolling over her sword was a surge of gray-white Death Evil Aura, striking the red sword light!
This strike precisely hit the black dot!
The next moment!
The crimson sword light, which seemed far stronger than Chu Ying’s, suddenly collapsed!
It transformed into strands of spiritual energy, dissipating into the air!
The crowd looked on with shock, impressed by her strength!
To be able to block such a forceful sword? Unbelievable…
Han Jiaojiao’s face darkened, her figure flickering rapidly, as she unleashed a barrage of crimson sword lights, raining them down on Chu Ying like a storm!
Chu Ying took a deep breath, focusing her mind. The splendid multicolored light in her eyes deepened, as she precisely controlled the spiritual energy within her body, leveraging the Death Evil Aura from her Life and Death Body to hit the essence of destruction in all things with her bare hands, each sword thrust without wasting a shred of spiritual energy!
And with each of her movements, a crimson sword light would be extinguished!
Chu Ying actually held her own against Han Jiaojiao for a time, not losing any ground!
Ye Chen’s eyebrows lifted, a smile of admiration appearing on his face, Little Ying’s martial arts talent and combat talent were even beyond his expectation, to be able to fight beyond her level at just this realm!
It seems that Chu Ying’s death for his sake truly turned into a blessing in disguise!
If she continues to cultivate in this manner, it stands to reason that Little Ying’s future achievements won’t be much less than Tu Lanxin’s.
