Chen Jing's sword aura was not as condensed as his opponent's, and he also knew the Instantaneous Movement Technique. His reaction and mentality in the face of life and death were no worse than his opponent's. Now, they were fighting over the sword mantra. In the past, when Chen Jing unleashed his sword technique, people who faced his sword light would feel a dizzying sensation, as if countless swords were swirling around them, leaving them unsure how to defend themselves for a moment. If they hesitated even slightly, they would already be sliced into skeletons by the sword. Now, with the sword aura formed, that set of sword techniques unleashed a massive whirlpool in an area of three feet in diameter, and from the outside, it looked like the interior was shrouded in a thick layer of white mist.
In the eyes of the female Taoist outside, a scorching heat flashed by. The originally fluttering body suddenly stood still, and the sword held between her fingers flew out, wandering around her body. Flickering unpredictably, each flicker would burst forth with intense sword light.
She raised the wine gourd in her hand and tilted back her throat.
Suddenly, a strong sword light burst out between her throat, and then her own sword blade appeared. However, a streak of blood appeared on her throat, but she was still drinking wine as if the injured one was not herself.
Suddenly, a figure appeared in the distance, wearing the same blue Taoist robe as the female Taoist, with a sword on his back. He stood far away, looking at them with surprise in his eyes. Before long, another person walked out of the deep snow and wind, dressed in the same attire, with the same sword, also standing far away to watch. In no time, more than ten people had appeared, surrounding Chen Jing and the female Taoist in the middle.
Outside the fighting circle, a woman stood beside a young man, looking quite lively and mischievous. She twirled her black hair with her fingers and said to the young man who looked rather silly: "Second Brother, who is so powerful that even Big Sister Shifu can be trapped?"
"I don't know." The young man with a seemingly honest face stared intently at the place shrouded in sword light, shaking his head in response.
"I thought that in this world, apart from Master, there was no one else who could be a match for Big Sister." the girl said.
The burly young man did not turn his head but replied, "If we're talking about the world's swordsmen, then there are indeed only a few who can surpass Eldest Senior Sister."
"How many more? Which ones?" The girl seemed surprised and asked loudly.
"In the world, there is only our Luo Fu sword school that is pure. After several of my uncles in Luo Fu transcended, only Master can defeat Master Sister. The few I mentioned refer to those who are hidden from the world and unknown to anyone." That young man seemed silly, but his words were not silly at all.
The girl let out a sound and suddenly giggled: "Finally saw Master Sister being at a disadvantage in a sword fight, it's great, if this person can still beat Master Sister, that would be even better."
The young man finally turned back and said with a bitter smile: "Big sister is our Luo Fu's big sister, if she loses, it will be the face of our Luo Fu Sword Sect that will be lost."
The girl, however, said with a carefree attitude: "Who made her always bully Shixiong of yours and always find opportunities to say that she wants to point out my swordsmanship? Humph, she is deliberately trying to torment me. Every day, holding a wine gourd and drinking, making herself seem like the number one swordsman in the world."
"Heh heh, you're not unaware that Eldest Senior Sister was infected with evil energy when she beheaded the demon ten years ago and couldn't cure it, so Master specially prepared medicinal wine for Eldest Senior Sister." The young man said.
"She can drink when there's no one around, and doesn't have to always drink when there are many people."
The young man shook his head and smiled wryly, while the girl seemed to be indifferent to the fight, her mind mostly on the young man beside her.
Suddenly, a cry of surprise erupted all around. In the midst of the misty sword light, a strand of that Taoist nun's hair, which was tied up high like a horse tail, suddenly flew up and fluttered in the wind and snow.
She remained calm and composed, with a flash of sword light wandering around her, occasionally flashing out brilliant rays.
"Will the senior sister lose?" The girl asked, although she didn't like this senior sister, but as the second senior brother beside her said, if the senior sister lost, it would be a loss of face for Luo Fu.
"No." Second Master said very affirmatively: "Big Sister has suppressed her own magical power, this person's swordsmanship is excellent, the sword technique is strange and can stir up the spiritual energy of heaven and earth. People who are in the range of this sword technique will definitely feel like they are trapped in a sword array. I think this person hasn't fully grasped the essence of this sword technique yet."
"Why didn't Big Sister Master break through the siege of that sword technique?"
The young man said, "For us sword practitioners, willpower is the most important thing. Relatively speaking, magical powers don't need to be too deep, as long as they are pure and strong. Take our master for example, in the same realm, his magical power is the thinnest among the ten major sects' leaders, but no one dares to say they can defeat him." The young man seemed to want to take this opportunity to teach the girl, pointing at their senior sister again: "Senior sister has already mastered the Instant Sword Technique. Although our Luo Fu is not just Senior Sister alone who has achieved it, we cannot casually use it, so since Senior Sister mastered the Instant Sword Technique, no one in our Luo Fu except Master can make her draw her sword with all her might. For Senior Sister, this is a rare opportunity to refine her mind and willpower." Under the cover of that sword technique, it's extremely difficult to determine which sword is real and which is fake, and Senior Sister stands still, having an obvious target for attack, making it too hard to defend against with just one sword.
"Can't you hold on either? I know you've also mastered Instant Sword Technique." The girl looked up at the side of her second brother's face.
The second brother did not answer, seemingly in thought, and finally shook his head, saying: "I don't know."
There are many things that cannot be predicted without truly facing them, especially in situations where life and death are at stake. Some people will burst forth with dazzling brilliance, while others will fail spectacularly when everyone thought they would win.
The second brother told the girl that every cultivator must cultivate their Dao heart for a lifetime, but it seemed that the girl didn't listen at all.
"Hum..."
The sword light was like fog, and it was unknown when it would condense into a thread of sword energy that made people's hearts palpitate. Every time the sword energy appeared, it almost reached the female Taoist's body. At this moment, the female Taoist's sword would make a stroke to block it, each time extremely dangerous, and if she slowed down by even a fraction of a second, she would die under the Misty Heaven Sword. It was like walking on a cliff with a thousand feet of emptiness below, surrounded by howling winds, yet still having to move forward.
"He grasped the sword mantra, unexpectedly there's such a profound sword mantra outside of Luo Fu!" Second Master exclaimed.
More and more people gathered around, all of them were disciples of the Luofu Sword Sect. Just then, a figure suddenly appeared in the distance, flying through the wind and snow with an ethereal gait. As soon as he appeared, he shouted loudly: "Senior sister, this person is Chen Jing, the junior brother of Ye Qingxue. Master said to capture him alive."
Chen Jing naturally recognized this, because he was the one who had been to the embroidery spring bay river temple before. At that time, there were a total of two batches of people, the first three were killed by Chen Jing with the power of thunder and lightning, and the second batch of four people, three died under Chen Jing's sword, and the other one was Lihenzhi, who escaped.
As soon as the words fell, the people around immediately became restless. Second Brother also slightly changed his expression, and the girl beside him exclaimed in surprise: "Ye Qingxue? Is that Ye Qingxue of Jiuhua Qianluo Mountain?"
Second Master nodded slowly. The girl continued, "Ye Qingxue's thunder technique is astonishing, known as the number one person outside of the various sects' leaders, so why must they capture her junior brother?"
Second Master thought for a moment and said: "Third Master was indeed injured by Ye Qingxue."
"What is she?"
In the midst of being trapped by Chen Jing's sword aura, the female Taoist priestess, who seemed to be in mortal danger at any moment, suddenly shot out a sharp gleam from her eyes. Coldly, she said: "So you're Chen Jing, good, very good..."
Despite this, her swordsmanship remained simple and cold, with each sword shining around her.
"Has Ye Qingxue been to our Luo Fu?" The girl sensed something was off from Er Shixiong's expression and Da Shijie's tone.
Next to it, a group of younger brothers had already gathered, all leaning in to listen. The second elder brother hesitated for a moment before saying: "Ye Qingxue indeed came to our Luo Fu, but this is not something we can be proud of. Although the master didn't forbid us from talking about it, you guys heard it, don't spread it outside. Do you still remember that winter thunder two years ago?"
The girl nodded immediately and said: "Since I joined the sect, it was only the second time that I heard thunder in Luzhou."
"It was during that thunderclap, Ye Qingxue took advantage of the chaos in the spiritual energy of heaven and earth to sneak into our Luo Fu Cang Jing Pavilion and steal the 'Ji Jian Xin Jing' from within."
"Ah, stolen away?" The young girl exclaimed: "Then Master..."
Second Master nodded and said: "Master found her, and took out the beheading immortal sword."
"Master has drawn his sword, then she..."
"Wounded and escaped." The second senior brother said: "Master only made one sword, and Ye Qingxue was wounded and escaped. I happened to sense it, when I chased out, my sister had already caught up, when I caught up, the third junior brother also caught up. We three people, chasing and killing Ye Qingxue who was wounded by Master's one sword, were still escaped by her, and in the end, the third junior brother was also injured."
Next to Luo Fu's disciples, they were momentarily stunned and didn't know that at the time, their Second Master and Third Master had made great progress in applying Instant Sword Technique. On the way to kill Ye Qingxue, with their Eldest Master Sister as the main, two as assistants, but ultimately couldn't do anything about it.
"Look at Chen Jing's swordsmanship, it doesn't seem to be following any rules. It seems he hasn't obtained the 'Sword Sacrifice Heart Sutra' yet, and hasn't even met Ye Qingxue. Otherwise, he wouldn't have come here." A Luo Fu disciple beside him said.
The Second Master did not intentionally cover up the sound, and Chen Jing naturally heard it clearly. Suddenly, the sword art was withdrawn, and a figure reappeared.
The Luofu disciples surrounding him were all staring at him. The young girl looked at Chen Jing, then turned her head to glance at Second Master Brother, thinking: "Although this Chen Jing is also good-looking, he still can't compare to Second Master Brother."
At this time Chen Jing spoke up, his voice was not loud, but in the wind and snow it could be heard clearly.
"I didn't come here to be an enemy of Luo Fu."
"You dare to be an enemy of Luo Fu? You're not worthy!" The majestic and imposing woman standing opposite Chen Jing raised an eyebrow and said coldly.
Chen Jing's expression remained still, standing quietly, saying: "The Luofu Thousand Year Sword Sect has many disciples, I am naturally not worthy."
"You say I, Luo Fu Jian Pai, rely on force to bully others?" The female Taoist's words were like a sword edge, saying: "I, Luo Fu, want to capture you alive, and one person is enough." After speaking, she pointed her sword at Chen Jing and said coldly: "Today, the one who will take you down is Luo Fu Li Chen."
