91: Chapter Eighty-Five: The Inescapable Sword 91: Chapter Eighty-Five: The Inescapable Sword As Qin Mo’s bones turned cold, his Saint teacher directly proposed his cooperation plan to the Xu Yuan and Xu Changge brothers.
The ancient soul, having lived countless years, held no airs of a Saint, because he knew that he was no match for this mysterious Primordial youngster, and he was even more aware of his current status as a prisoner at their rcy.
He straightforwardly presented an offer to the Pri Minister’s Mansion that was almost impossible to refuse.
Intelligence, cultivation techniques, secret techniques, and entrances to so hidden secret realms.
Besides that, if needed, he could also offer protection for the Third Young Master of the Pri Minister’s Mansion and guide his cultivation.
In return, all that the Pri Minister’s Mansion would need to do later was to use their influence to find a successor for him to nurture.
As his voice faded,
both the Saint’s Remnant Soul and Xu Yuan looked towards Xu Changge.
The twilight over the ruins held a kind of forlorn beauty.
Xu Changge sat on a large rock, his eyes lowered expressionlessly as he pondered over the other’s proposal.
He hadn’t expected this so-called Saint to be so aware of the tis, but it did make him sowhat understand the words his father had said to him before leaving the capital.
A Saint?
Nothing but a craven stray dog.
After a long silence, he made up his mind.
Xu Changge slowly stood up, his blue robe moving without any wind, and a three-foot green blade longsword sohow appeared silently in his hand.
The slender tip of the sword scattered a sky full of red light under the afterglow of the setting sun.
Seeing this, the Saint’s Remnant Soul’s pupils slightly constricted, realizing what the youngster intended to do.
But it was too fast.
No, it was not that Xu Changge’s movent was fast, but unavoidable.
Even with Xu Yuan’s cultivation, he could clearly see Xu Changge’s sword strike.
It was a very ordinary sword strike.
Upon seeing this sword strike, Ran Qingmo’s hand, which held the Black Sword, began to uncontrollably tighten and tremble, her beautiful eyes filled with a serious expression.
Raise hand, thrust out, and then hit the target.
Everything seed as if it were only to be expected.
An unavoidable sword…
With the sword strike, the previously serious aura instantly dissipated into nothingness.
The pierced Saint’s Remnant Soul touched the center of his soul’s brow, as if resigned, and smiled, rather at ease:
“Primordial youngster, this old man isn’t prohibiting you from setting up the sealing spell, aren’t you making too much of a fuss?”
Xu Changge’s three-foot green blade disappeared from his hand, his aura noticeably disrupted sowhat, and he replied with a light laugh:
“The teacher in his lifeti was honored as a Saint, it was necessary to treat him with importance.”
The Saint’s Remnant Soul shook his head, looking deeply at Xu Changge, and transmitted a ssage in a tone full of implications:
“Heh…
youngster, the thing you’re cultivating, if you’re slightly careless, could lead to irreversible disaster, do you understand this?”
Hearing this, Xu Changge’s long and narrow eyes slightly narrowed, glancing at him with an indifference:
“My affairs do not require the teacher’s concern.”
The Saint’s Remnant Soul also wisely refrained from saying more, shaking his head and laughing:
“The restrictions are set, are you planning to have follow this youngster with the Innate Taoist Body?
Your family really is a group of monsters.”
Xu Changge did not deny it:
“But before that, my father will likely have many questions to ask the teacher.
Please co with .”
…
…
Seeing Xu Changge’s reaction just now, Xu Yuan felt that the Soul Ring should be in their possession.
But what he was thinking about more at the mont was the sword Xu Changge had thrust earlier.
He had seen that sword before, but it was in his past life.
It was the ultimate skill of the opponent when acting as the boss, an ultimate skill that could be called defying the heavens.
No matter how far the player-controlled character ran, as long as they were still in the boss room, when Xu Changge raised his hand and gripped the sword, damage would be dealt directly.
An unavoidable sword.
There were two ways to survive it.
The first was to increase one’s health a bit and endure it, as Xu Changge would only use this abnormal skill once in the boss fight.
The second was to use the invincibility fra of the Step Forward Slash to dodge it.
Xu Yuan, being a high-level player, generally preferred to dodge using the invincibility fra.
Upon this realization, Xu Yuan suddenly paused, then felt a sudden surge of emotion.
Step Forward Slash, Invincible Fra, Saint’s Remnant Soul….
Perhaps, he could later seek the Saint’s Remnant Soul to learn the secret sword technique of Invincible Fra.
After all, with the Saint’s insight, mastering such a thing shouldn’t be a difficult task.
And moreover,
perhaps he could also learn that sword strike from his older brother.
It was worth a try.
Xu Yuan made up his mind and glanced sideways at the young girl beside him, then slightly started.
Big Ice Lump was still in the sa posture as before, staring blankly at the spot where Xu Changge had thrust his sword.
Xu Yuan waved his hand in front of her.
Ran Qingmo ca back to her senses and looked over.
Xu Yuan gently asked,
“What’s wrong?”
Ran Qingmo bit her lip, clenching her fists:
“Your brother…
is very strong.”
Xu Yuan glanced at her hand holding the sword and lightly chuckled to comfort her,
“Xu Changge is more than a decade older than you, when you reach his age, it’s not so clear who would be stronger.”
Ran Qingmo’s beautiful eyes drooped slightly, she shook her head without saying a word, visibly dejected.
Xu Yuan noticed this and his gaze slightly fird.
He suddenly realized what Big Ice Lump was thinking about.
Sword Sect…..
From the beginning, Ran Qingmo, as a disciple of the State Preceptor, had captured him with the intent of blackmailing his father.
Although her private relations with him were quite good now, Xu Changge remained the enemy in her eyes.
Ever since she ca to the Xu Residence, she harbored a vague hostility towards his older brother.
And considering how that older brother dealt with enemies, Xu Yuan shivered slightly.
He sowhat understood from where Ran Qingmo’s dejection stemd.
According to the plot’s tiline, the destruction of Sword Sect should be within the next two years.
Ran Qingmo had no ti to grow.
And with her current strength against Xu Changge, instantaneous defeat was inevitable without any room for negotiation.
After a brief contemplation, Xu Yuan sighed and lifted his gaze towards Ying’er standing by:
“Ying’er, you can go down first, I want to stay alone with Miss Ran for a while.”
Ying’er glanced at Ran Qingmo and nodded before leaving.
Once Ying’er had completely vanished from view,
Xu Yuan looked at the sunset on the horizon and spoke softly:
“Ran Qingmo, I have sothing to tell you.”
“Mm..go ahead,” Ran Qingmo nodded.
After waiting two seconds,
Xu Yuan cleared his throat, glanced in the direction where Xu Changge had left, then fixed his gaze on Ran Qingmo.
Ran Qingmo also glanced in the direction where Xu Changge had left, then tilted her head, her eyes filled with confusion as she t Xu Yuan’s gaze.
Xu Yuan suddenly felt a headache coming on and sighed,
“Do you know how to cast a Silencing Spell?”
“Oh.”
Ran Qingmo nodded, the Origin Qi surged, and a semi-transparent layer of ice ford around the two in an instant.
Seeing this, Xu Yuan took a deep breath,
“Ran Qingmo, you ca to because you don’t want the forty thousand disciples of Sword Sect to perish, right?”
“Mm,” Ran Qingmo nodded.
“May I ask why?”
Xu Yuan softly inquired.
He rembered that in that easter egg tiline, Ran Qingmo did not concern herself with the fate of Sword Sect but instead directly went overseas.
Ran Qingmo thought for a mont, her voice earnest,
“Because Master said that I will beco the leader of Sword Sect in the future, and it’s my responsibility to protect Sword Sect well.”
