Chapter 10: A Brilliant Sword Strike

  Wei Zhuang was truly enraged by Yao Guang's few words, and the effect of Qī Xīng Gǒng Ruì had just passed. He immediately raised his shark-toothed sword and swept towards Yao Guang, the blade pointing directly at her neck.

  He understood clearly and thought it through, Yao Guang indeed had injuries on her body and a broken sword in her hand. The move she used earlier was to prevent him from getting close, since she was afraid of close combat, he would naturally do the opposite.

  Yao Guang remained calm and secretly smiled, even taking advantage of the brief moment to unleash another "Sheng Taiji". Feeling the shark-toothed aura closing in on her throat, she raised her left hand with two fingers and swiftly drew a line towards the ground, sealing the broken sword in front of her.

  Chunyang Palace has two sects, Qi Sect and Jian Sect. Many moves require practice from both sects, but some moves are unique to one sect, such as "Zhen Shan He" which can only be performed when the Qi Sect's power is deep and profound, or "Tun Ri Yue" of the Jian Sect.

  Apart from this, Jianzong has a unique technique that specializes in breaking the aura, which can make the aura that originally played an auxiliary role in battle suddenly become a sharp weapon for attack, called - Human Sword Unity.

  Man and sword become one, nothing can withstand their might.

  With a fierce sword intent, explode all the aura around, and no one can escape within the aura.

  All the auras were detonated at the same time, and the sword energy flowed in all directions, like countless extremely fine and sharp needles piercing the air. Wei Zhuang, who was in the midst of this chaotic aura, had his meridians invaded by this frantic energy, and for a moment he couldn't move. His meridians were damaged, his true energy stagnated, and took a wrong turn, and a mouthful of fresh blood came up from his throat uncontrollably.

  Yao Guang smiled upon seeing this.

  As she had expected.

  When people are angry, they are generally less self-controlled and cautious than usual. Wei Zhuang was enraged and indeed did not think deeply before rashly stepping into the range of the gas field.

  Where her sword intent reaches, where her sword energy reaches, within that aura is the battlefield she has chosen.

  "Heavenly timing" and "human harmony" are both absent, she can only rely on this point of "geographical advantage".

  Now one move achieves success, how can I not smile?

  Weizhuang is now unable to move, and the opportunity is fleeting. Yao Guang did not lay down a new aura, but instead held his sword in front of him after a brief "concentration of spirit and energy", and suddenly burst out with a fierce sword intent.

  Yuan Hong once again emitted a fierce buzzing sound, and the violent and ferocious sword energy that had lost its restraint suddenly burst out, like a mountain flood pouring down, a raging torrent surging forward.

  "Jian Liu Yun——!"

  An intangible, colorless, and razor-sharp aura almost solidified into a substance that enveloped the shattered rainbow, forming a gigantic energy sword. The energy sword continuously split out bundles of aura that transformed into short swords, bursting out from the sword in a nearly frantic manner, invading every corner of the great hall.

  A swift sword aura flowed and formed a gust of wind, blowing up Yao Guang's long hair and sleeves.

  Under the sword's swift and decisive move, Yao Guang's expression was as calm as ever, even more so than before, just like the snow-capped peaks of Mount Hua, which had an eternally unshakeable cold serenity. This strong contrast brought about a strong shock, making it hard for people to look away, yet not daring to stare.

  At this moment, Yao Guang is simply not like an ordinary person.

  Intersecting and flowing sword energy wove an invisible large net, instantly enveloping everyone inside, yet strangely avoiding the Mo family members, only surrounding the Inverse Flow Sand assassins who were constantly attacked, and a stream of light would often bring out a stream of blood.

  In this world, the more beautiful something is, the more dangerous it tends to be.

  The beauty of such a magnificent sword technique is also a painting made with life as the canvas and blood as the pigment.

  Resplendent to the extreme, sharp to the extreme, spirit rushing and eyes dizzying, captivating the heart and snatching the soul.

  Sword energy was emitted from Yao Guang's hand, and Wei Zhuang, who was closest to her, was naturally the most seriously injured. The dense sword energy made him covered in wounds all over his body, and in an instant, he was stained with blood.

  The outcome is already decided.

  At the same time, several air swords seemed to have lost control and rushed out of the hall, attacking those hiding in the passage.

  Mozi giant stood at the forefront, not allowing any discussion to raise his sword and block, Xiao Yaozi followed suit, the third sword was extremely agile, it actually passed through the swords of the two men and went towards Zhang Liang, Zhang Liang was not unable to avoid it, but the passage was narrow, if he dodged sideways at this time, then the people behind him would have trouble, Zhang Liang made a quick decision and took out Ling Yu dispersing sword energy.

  As the Lingxu sword sheath and the sword energy touched, Zhang Liang's face changed slightly. It wasn't until now that he understood why Wei Zhuang was completely suppressed, just this strand of sword energy made him feel a chill run down his spine, and before contact, he couldn't even sense any killing intent on the sword energy, only after engaging in combat could he feel that icy coldness.

  Mozi's giant son, Xiao Yaozi and Zhang Liang exchanged a glance, all clearly revealing a few points of surprise.

  Three people always had a few points of self-righteousness as seniors, and for Yao Guang, it was more about giving praise to their juniors. Until now, several people suddenly realized that if only in the "Sword Path", they probably didn't have the qualifications to call themselves "seniors" in front of Yao Guang.

  What a shocking talent, it's really unknown whether heaven is biased towards her, giving her eight-tenths of the world's swordsmanship!

  Yao Guang got the answer she wanted from the change in Jian Qi's aura, and her previously raised heart suddenly put down. When she looked at Wei Zhuang again, there was no longer that hint of killing intent in her eyes, only a calmness.

  "I have a prior engagement with you. With this one battle, can I win back this life?"

  Wei Zhuang gritted his teeth, enduring the stinging pain all over his body, hastily pressing a few acupoints to prevent excessive blood loss. He glanced at the nearby Huyen Bat, Kikou no Jitsu and Akuren, who were also severely injured while trying to dodge. Frowning, he looked towards the girl dressed as a Taoist priestess in front of him. Her face, still stained with blood, flashed with shock, anger, and murderous intent, but in an extremely short period of time, it transformed into an enigmatic, gloomy smile.

  "Daoist, Yao Guang. You're doing well."

  Given their current positions, Wei Zhuang's words are unlikely to be genuine praise, but rather sarcasm, and there must be a follow-up.

  Yao Guang looked at Wei Zhuang and blinked her eyes, waiting quietly for what was to come next.

  Wei Zhuang coldly swept his gaze over the Mo Family disciples in the arena, picked up the shark-tooth sword scabbard on the ground, and said in a deep voice: "Today Wei was defeated without shame, tomorrow I will surely go to the Daoist sect to reclaim this battle!"

  Jade Light quietly watched Wei Zhuang put away his sword and replied calmly: "I will wait with bated breath."

  Wei Zhuang turned around and left, while the people of Yishasha glared at Yao Guang for a few moments before leaving one after another.

  Gao Jianli struggled towards Yao Guang and growled: "Why did you let them go!"

  Everyone's eyes suddenly focused on Yao Guang's face.

  If evil is not completely eliminated, endless troubles will follow.

  Everyone knows this principle, but the winner of this battle is Yao Guang. When she has not expressed her attitude, if others take action rashly, it is not only contempt for Wei Zhuang, but also an insult to Yao Guang's dignity.

  Yao Guang's move was not just for self-rescue, anyone with discerning eyes could see that her final stunning sword move was clearly to create an escape route for the Mo family. If Ni Liu Sha hadn't been severely injured as a result, it would have been impossible for Wei Zhuang to leave so easily after his defeat. It can be said that Yao Guang has a lifesaving great favor for the entire Mo family.

  Several leaders of the Mohist school were hesitant to speak out due to their dignity, but Gaozi was so urgent in his questioning because he had a preconceived notion about Yao Guang. The fact that several people did not dare to ask questions does not mean they did not have such doubts, so after Gaozi spoke up, no one stopped him and instead waited quietly for Yao Guang's answer.

  Gao Jianli's eyes were fixed intently on Yao Guang, only to see the other party holding a broken sword standing in place, slender and upright, facing the direction of Wei Zhuang's departure. It was as if he hadn't even turned his head to look at him or respond to his question. Just as he was about to ask again, something strange happened, and he suddenly widened his eyes, all his doubts instantly turning into guilt.

  The Azure Rainbow Sword fell to the ground with a "ding" sound, and fresh blood flowed down from the girl's fingertips.

  That one figure, as straight and proud as a snow-covered bamboo or plum blossom, suddenly fell backwards, staining the ground red in an instant.

  "Jade Light!!"

  The Snow Girl shouted out Yao Guang's name and rushed towards the center of the stage with all her might, barely catching her just before she fell to the ground.

  "Jade light, jade light, wake up, wake up!"

  The girl's eyes were tightly closed, her face was pale, and her breathing was weak. There was no response at all.

  After those cold, clear eyes closed, the girl's immature face was revealed without a doubt.

  At most, she was only fourteen, just two years older than Yuè. While Yuè was being protected and pushed away from the battlefield by everyone, Yáo Guāng took up her weapon and walked onto the battlefield of her own accord.

  Yao Guang said it was for self-rescue, but who can't see the truth?

  If it was just for self-rescue, why would Yao Guang use such a damaging technique that harms both himself and his enemy?

  Perhaps it was because Yao Guang looked too easy to win that everyone forgot what she had said - severely injured and damaged meridians.

  With such a body, how can one wield such sword intent?

  A sword's aura is vast and powerful; can it be without any cost?

  That was a moment of glory obtained at the cost of hurting herself!

  Yao Guang didn't mind risking her life to save them, but those she saved still secretly suspected her intentions and speculated about her motives.

  Why didn't you eliminate the Rebel Army once and for all to avoid future troubles?

  The answer is so simple.

  No conspiracy, no calculation, just because Yao Guang was equally seriously injured and had no strength to fight again. Although she was already exhausted, she still struggled to support herself until the people of Inverse Flow Sand retreated before falling down.

  What if the reverse flow of sand does not retreat but continues to attack?

  The first to bear the brunt of Yao Guang's wrath will undoubtedly suffer an unspeakable fate!

  What else can it be for at this point?

  Not an assassin, not a spy.

  No conspiracy, no calculation.

  Yao Guang sincerely and unconditionally wants to save them at all costs.

  This girl has a rare and innocent heart, but they don't believe her.

  "Yao Guang......" The Snow Girl hugged Yao Guang, whose face was pale and breathing weakly, almost crying out, "...... Foolish child...... Why must......"

  Why go to such great lengths and risk one's life to help them?

  Just a few days ago, they were still suspecting that Yao Guang was an assassin with ulterior motives who had infiltrated the Imperial City, but now such suspicions have turned into a slap in the face for everyone.
