Chapter 529: Swordsman Mei’s Operation, Two Strains Of Sword Qi
While Chu Kuangren was battling Swordsman Yan in Blaze City.
Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue were facing their own problems back at Seven Chord City.
The guesthouse was almost vacated now.
A lady in a black robe stood before Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue.
The lady’s features were impeccable, and her eyes exuded a soft and charming presence. She was probably capable of seducing ninety-nine percent of men in this world.
Unfortunately for her, Murong Xuan was not one of them.
His heart belonged to someone else. Besides, Murong Xuan could sense a tinge of threat coming from this lady.
“Who are you?” Murong Xuan frowned and asked.
“I’m Swordsman Mei, one of the members of the Shadow Swordsmen.”
Swordsmen Mei chuckled coquettishly and looked at the duo. “All thanks to Swordsman Yan for dealing with Chu Kuangren, I now have the perfect opportunity to deal with you two.”
“Deal with us? Are you thinking of using us to threaten our Sect Leader?”
Shang Qingxue said.
Shang Qingxue knew that Murong Xuan and herself were not worth the trouble for the Sword Tribe. Their ultimate goal must be Chu Kuangren.
“Well, well, we sure have a smart little icy lady in the house. It’s such a shame that you just don’t have the power to change the outcome.”
Swordsman Mei vanished into the shadows and dashed for Shang Qingxue.
Shang Qingxue simply lifted her hand and summoned a surge of unbearable freezing qi.
The freezing qi froze the space before her, and Swordsman Mei was forced to take several steps back. She looked at Shang Qingxue gravely and said, “I didn’t expect you to be capable of such a feat. I recognize this freezing qi. Are you the host of the Deep Freeze Physique?”
That being said, Swordsman Yan was unsure of her assessment. Not even the Deep Freeze Physique would be capable of such a display of freezing qi.
Even Murong Xuan was shocked. “Qingxue, it looks like you’ve been blessed with an unordinary opportunity too.”
“Too?”
Shang Qingxue smiled mischievously.
“Let’s talk about it later. We have Swordsman Mei to deal with. She’s not an easy one.”
Murong Xuan chuckled and stared at Swordsman Mei.
Despite the duo’s tremendous progress in their abilities and having encountered various opportunities in Emperor Road, they could not tread lightly in the face of Swordsman Mei, one of the most excellent fighters in Sword Tribe.
“Hmph, two outside world sky-prides… Let’s see just what you’re made of.”
Swordsman Mei sneered. As one of the few stellar sky-prides of the Sword Tribe, she carried her pride around with her. She feared no one else apart from the Sword Daoists and some of the outlawed sky-prides.
“Attack!” Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue attacked Swordsman Mei from different sides.
Since Swordsman Mei had wanted to use them to threaten Chu Kuangren, they no longer cared about honor codes on the battlefield. If they had to outnumber her, so be it.
The trio’s swords clanked with each other in the center.
Murong Xuan’s imposing dominance, Shang Qingxue’s freezing blizzard, and Swordsman Mei’s dark maliciousness…
As their sword Dao made contact, the guesthouse ruptured from within.
Swordsman Yan may be strong, but she could not overpower Murong Xuan and Shang Qingxue once they worked together.
“D*mn it. I’ve underestimated them.”
‘I didn’t think Chu Kuangren’s disciples would also be so remarkable. Just what kind of sect is the Black Heaven Sect?’
Swordsman Mei thought to herself and mustered all her strengths to defeat the duo.
However, no matter how hard she tried, she could not gain a significant edge over her opponents.
“D*mn it. It looks like I need to use that thing.”
Swordsman Mei gritted her teeth. Now that Chu Kuangren had left, she only had one chance to accomplish her mission. Once Chu Kuangren came back, her chance would be gone.
She retrieved a medicinal pill and swallowed it.
Soon, an eerie, dark sword qi erupted from her body. “Lightless Sword Domain!”
Countless dark sword qi intertwined in the void. It was as if a shade of night had engulfed everything within a ten-kilometer radius, forming a dark domain!
“Be careful, Qingxue. Her abilities have drastically increased.”
“Such power is on the level of a Boundary Emperor.”
Shang Qingxue and Murong Xuan’s faces turned grim.
“Fall!”
Swordsman Mei lifted her sword and unleashed a black sword qi.
With the dark Daoist Rhyme contained in the sword qi, it was as if the entire night sky was crashing toward them.
Shang Qingxue and Murong Xuan’s faces turned grim.
Just then, a surge of purple sword qi suddenly erupted from Murong Xuan’s body.
The sword qi poured like a torrent and disintegrated Swordsman Mei’s sword qi before it crashed into the nightshade. As a result, a large hole was ripped in the nightshade, and the gap became wider with each passing second.
As sunlight pierced through the shade, the Lightless Sword Domain was destroyed!
Swordsman Mei began to panic upon seeing this scene. “What sword qi is that?!”
A single sword technique had ruptured both her sword qi and her domain!
Such a display of power was indicative of a person far more powerful than any ordinary Boundary Emperor!
“It’s Sect Leader’s sword qi!”
Shang Qingxue said joyfully.
Then, her body released another similar surge of sword qi.
This time, the sword qi transformed into a white-robed figure in the air.
It was Chu Kuangren!
With Chu Kuangren as the center point, sword qi released and spread across the area, locking Swordsman Mei as its target.
It was Swordsman Mei’s first time witnessing Chu Kuangen’s sword Dao, and she felt a numbing sensation over her scalp as fear overwhelmed her.
“How is this level of power possible?”
“Isn’t Chu Kuangren busy dealing with Swordsman Yan? It can’t be. This must only be his spiritual thought clone!”
However, Swordsman Mei did not rejoice at her observation. Instead, her panic worsened.
If a spiritual thought clone could possess such an amount of power, just how strong was Chu Kuangren?!
Would such an entity be capable of defeating the Master Sword Daoist?!
For the first time in her life, Swordsman Mei was questioning the Sword Daoist’s abilities.
It was all because Chu Kuangren’s display of power was far too mind-numbing. It had exceeded her understanding of what a sky-pride was.
“Oh, so this is your plan? To keep me busy so that you can kidnap them and threaten me?”
Chu Kuangren snapped coldly.
Although he was just a spiritual thought clone, Swordsman Mei felt that she was facing an otherworldly God of War.
“Run!”
No longer able to contain her fear, Swordsman Mei turned and tried to escape.
“Run? But can you?”
Chu Kuangren transformed into a sword ray and teleported in front of Swordsman Mei in the blink of an eye.
Swordsman Mei screamed and instinctively swung her sword.
Chu Kuangren merely responded by hurling a dagger towards Swordsman Mei.
The speed of the dagger was not fast. It gradually glided across the battlefield, but it ferried a boundless amount of Heavenly Might.
Before Swordsman Mei could reach Chu Kuangren, her entire body was already stifled by the crushing aura, and her sword qi disintegrated.
Chu Kuangren’s dagger struck directly into her chest.
Boom!
As the sword qi pierced through her body, a cloud of blood mist erupted from her back.
All Chu Kuangren needed was a single dagger to strip her off any ability to resist.
“Qingxue, Murong Xuan, watch over her and don’t let her die. Wait for my return.”
Chu Kuangren said faintly. He seemed to have some arrangements in mind for Swordsman Mei.
Then, his figure vanished in the air.
Ten million kilometers away, Chu Kuangren was staring at Swordsman Yan with brutal murderous intent.
“Alright. Playtime’s over.”
Chu Kuangren positioned all his fingers on the guqin, infusing a magnificent Heavenly Might into his guqin Daoist Rhymes!
