it's over.
As early as the moment Liang Tingyu was deceived by Jianchou, this life-and-death battle had already ended.
As bystanders, although they didn't know what means Jianchou used at that moment to make Liang Tingyu take a step back in a good situation and lose the advantage in vain, the result was already obvious.
"Emperor Jiang Fenglei Wing..."
A difficult voice sounded in a corner of the Silver Building.
Finally, someone dug up the memory of this from sixty years ago, which was already a long time ago, and sighed in an indescribable tone.
Emperor Jiang's Wind and Thunder Wing Dao Seal, that is the "birth Dao Seal" that has disappeared from the Nineteen Continents for a long time and has not appeared since.
Jianchou, who was still at the Jindan stage in the past, carried this seal and fought fiercely with others on the empty sea, which attracted everyone's attention. Although most of them had never seen it with their own eyes, they could imagine that—
At this moment today, the demeanor of this senior sister from Yashan must be even better than before.
The huge wings, with golden phantoms, swirled with ancient runes. On each smooth feather, one could still see the wind and thunder...
Just now, with a flap of its wings, it restored brightness to the heaven and earth.
Liang Tingyu, who had already given up and lost his previous advantage, was no match for her.
In an instant, the army was completely defeated.
The situation was reversed in the blink of an eye.
How many people haven't come back to their senses yet? Even Liang Tingyu himself.
The Mandarin Duck Axe is her natal magical weapon that she has practiced for many years. After killing her former love, she used a secret method to refine his essence and soul into the axe.
It can be said that the pair of mandarin duck axes are tied to her life and his soul.
Now Jianchou rose up with the help of Emperor Jiang's wind and thunder wings and smashed the pair of mandarin duck axes into pieces.
The shadow of the male cultivator that was originally floating behind her was torn into pieces in an instant. Even she herself felt as if her internal organs were burning, and her eyebrows were pierced by lightning, as if even her soul was about to be torn apart!
pain!
The pain could almost drive one crazy!
If it were any weaker person, they would have collapsed and rolled on the ground due to the multiple injuries. But Liang Tingyu was still standing.
There seemed to be a strange force in her body supporting her.
Even though, it is so trembling and crumbling!
But she didn't fall down!
A pair of eyes, with the haze gone, were now looking at Jianchou, but there was still a sense of absurdity in his heart: I lost, I just lost like this
It was just because of the slight difference in thought at that time because of Jianchou's knife!
One wrong move and the whole game is lost!
By the time she realized something was wrong, there was no chance of a comeback.
In this battle, she was not defeated by her cultivation, nor by her magic weapon, nor by any other external objects. She was only defeated by herself...
It can also be said that she was defeated by Jianchou himself.
Thinking back to the battle just now, it can be said that the scene that I had planned for her just now was almost unavoidable. She had been planning from the beginning!
Every step and every reaction of yours is within the other party's expectations.
In retrospect, perhaps it was simple.
But if I were to put myself in her shoes, if I were Jianchou at that time, I'm afraid I wouldn't be able to be so inconspicuous, so scheming, and so desperate!
"If I had withdrawn my hand a little slower, you would have been the one being targeted by the butcher's knife."
"yes."
Seeing that Chou didn't comment, she relaxed completely. Because she was sure that Liang Tingyu was already exhausted, and even if she didn't kill him, he wouldn't be able to hold on for much longer.
"So, sometimes luck may also be a kind of strength."
"luck?"
When Liang Tingyu heard this, he couldn't help laughing, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.
Jianchou was speechless.
Liang Tingyu laughed enough and slowly stopped.
She looked at Jianchou again, with a look of mockery and a hint of admiration, and sneered, "I am already your prey, why are you still so hypocritical?"
If Jianchou was not absolutely sure about her "retreat" at that moment, how could he have let go and fought
He planned this because he knew she would withdraw.
From the beginning to the end, where does the term "luck" come from
Seeing sorrow, I just smile.
The shadow of Emperor Jiang Fenglei Wings had gradually faded away from behind her, but the golden feather floating in front of Liang Tingyu remained solid, with no signs of disappearing.
"Liang Jijiu is one of a thousand scheming people, but unfortunately, his schemes and calculations violate my cardinal rule - I will not be spared."
This life will never be forgiven!
At this moment, Jianchou had raised his right hand, with light flowing between his fingers. As long as he had a thought and moved his fingertips, the golden feather hanging in front of Liang Tingyu's throat would take her life in an instant!
But at this time, Liang Tingyu, after hearing Jianchou's words, laughed up to the sky, and then sighed: "Since I decided to embark on this path, I never thought that I would be able to retreat unscathed one day. I am convinced that I was defeated by you today..."
Halfway through her words, she suddenly paused.
The black air and seals around his body completely dissipated, and his eyes had regained their clarity. He just slowly looked along the circle of open and closed windows in the Silver Building, as if he was looking at every person behind the window.
Then, he slowly continued, "But I don't like to fail miserably."
Don't like losing miserably
Jianchou was stunned and did not understand the meaning of this sentence for a moment.
Liang Tingyu didn't explain to her, but suddenly put on a strange smile on his lips, and asked a seemingly irrelevant question: "You should have never fought with a Yuanying old monster before, right?"
"… "
Indeed, not at all, especially in this situation where one’s life is at stake.
But why did Liang Tingyu ask this
Wait, Nascent Soul stage? !
At this moment, Jianchou's tightly furrowed brows suddenly raised, and a hint of surprise appeared in her eyes for the first time. The things she had read in the classics in the past flashed through her mind in a flash.
"Watch out! She's going to blow herself up!"
Before Jianchou could confirm it again, an experienced and perceptive cultivator in the Silver Building had already noticed that Liang Tingyu was acting strangely at the moment, and without thinking, he shouted at the top of his lungs!
"Hahaha… "
Liang Tingyu's laughter had become crazy. Her severely injured body trembled continuously with this laughter, but in her Dantian, a ball of dark golden light lit up and kept moving towards her head.
In the blink of an eye, a ball of golden light emerged and turned into a three-inch tall little man.
Looking at his figure and appearance, he is exactly the same as Liang Tingyu himself!
The reason why the Nascent Soul stage is called the stage of "qualitative change" is because of the appearance of the "Nascent Soul".
Once a cultivator achieves Nascent Soul, it is equivalent to having an extra life. For cultivators still in the Nascent Soul stage, this benefit is not yet obvious, but when they move to the next level, that is, the Out-of-Body Stage, cultivators can control the Nascent Soul and leave their physical bodies.
Even if the physical body is gone, the cultivator will not die as long as the Nascent Soul is still there.
Although Liang Tingyu has not reached the out-of-body stage, his physical body and Nascent Soul cannot be separated for the time being.
But the cultivation of the late Nascent Soul stage was real. This small Nascent Soul condensed the essence of her lifelong cultivation, and even though it was seriously injured, it still contained huge energy.
And the "Nascent Soul Self-Destruction" can release all the essence and power of a lifetime in an instant!
What a horrible disaster that would be
I’m afraid that even this hundred-foot-tall silver building will be razed to the ground!
Seeing that Liang Tingyu looked crazy and his Nascent Soul had already left his body, all the cultivators who knew the dangers could not help but take a deep breath and stared at the little Nascent Soul of Liang Tingyu with eyes filled with fear!
“Get out of the way!”
"run!"
“That’s crazy!”
…
Countless cultivators in the Silver Tower were already feeling in danger. Even Chen Yao, the Grand Marshal of Tongguan Post Station who came from the wild southeast, could not help but change color with horror.
But all these changes happened too fast.
Not to mention that after the Nascent Soul was freed from the shackles of the physical body, its speed continued to increase. In just a blink of an eye, it had risen into the air, shining brightly.
Thousands of dazzling golden lights, like sharp arrows, pierced through the tiny Nascent Soul.
At that moment, a terrifying wave spread out in all directions with Liang Tingyu's Nascent Soul as the center!
Jianchou, who was standing on the platform across the river, must have been the first to be hit. But with such a close distance, how could he avoid it
Not to mention, there was Zuo Liu on the stage, trapped in a cage and completely powerless.
Jianchou had no intention of retreating even a single step. In an instant, the golden dragon scales covered his entire body again, and he grasped the Deer-Cutting Knife once again!
Bai Yin, who was in the private room upstairs, was so anxious when he saw this that his eyes almost turned red.
At this moment, he could no longer care about anything else. He swooped down from a high place, grabbed a vertical bar on the left side of the cage with one hand, picked it up and shouted "retreat first", hoping that Jianchou could avoid the oncoming attack.
But at this moment, Jianchou did not retreat.
Suddenly there is no need to retreat.
In the void, a slender hand, slightly rough, stretched out gently.
As if nothing had happened, he silently and unscathed passed through all the terrifying spatial fluctuations that Liang Tingyu's Nascent Soul had produced just before it exploded, and passed through the golden light that could easily penetrate a person's flesh and blood...
Just like catching a young bird casually, he caught the Nascent Soul that was about to explode in mid-air!
What an incredible scene!
Everyone who saw this scene, including Jianchou, did not react at all. They could not imagine what kind of terrifying level of cultivation must be required to be able to do something so effortless!
"Wanting to die? How can it be that easy?"
It’s hard to tell whether the voice is light or heavy, and it’s hard to describe the emotion whether it is laughter or mockery.
After this hand appeared, a pair of dark black sleeves woven with gold, a heavy and oppressive robe, and a tall and extraordinary figure soon appeared in the void.
The outline and long eyebrows that look like a knife-cut ink painting have gathered a bit of pressure after experiencing all these years of being a leader in the world; the pair of deep eyes can still vaguely see the old traces of the wind and moon of Yashan in the past, as if they can contain the mountains, rivers, sun, moon, and the movement of stars.
It’s just that it’s heavier and more unpredictable than before.
The moment they saw his face clearly, countless monks in the entire Silver Building were so shocked that they almost jumped up from the ground, and for a moment they even forgot to run and hide!
Jianchou was even more stunned.
All actions stop at this moment, and all words disappear at this moment.
Only her hand holding the deer-cutting knife trembled slightly uncontrollably.
Qu Zhengfeng just happened to look over here at this moment.
No one knew if he noticed anything. All they saw was that although he caught Lian Liang Tingyu's Nascent Soul with one hand and imprisoned it tightly, he didn't even take a second look at it.
As if even taking a look at it would be a waste of effort.
Just like that…
Use five fingers to squeeze gently!
“Puff!”
The Nascent Soul that had originally stabilized itself was actually crushed to pieces by Qu Zhengfeng!
Thousands and thousands of dazzling lights, accompanied by terrifying waves like a tidal wave, spread wildly in all directions, but they could not spread far before quietly dissipating...
One of the three chief priests of Night Cruise, Liang Tingyu, the most popular female cultivator in Tomorrow Star Sea in recent years—
Die here!
Everyone who saw this scene felt a bone-chilling chill creeping all over their body, and at this moment, they dared not move at all.
A cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage!
And it was the Nascent Soul that self-destructed!
What kind of terrifying power is this? But in his hands, it is so insignificant and so easy to use!
The violent vibrations generated when the Nascent Soul was crushed did not even damage the corner of his clothes!
A dark light flashed in his eyes. He already knew all the memories of Liang Tingyu before his death. A faint smile slowly appeared on his lips, but it was impossible to tell whether it was sincere or distant.
His eyes were on Jianchou from beginning to end and never moved away.
"It's been sixty years since we last met, little junior sister, you have improved a lot..."
Junior sister.
The three words clearly sounded normal, but they sounded so harsh to Jianchou's ears. Every scene and every word of the frustrating battle on the top of Yashan Mountain in the past came to his mind.
"I just want to tell you that you are not qualified to be the eldest sister of Yashan."
"Little Junior Sister's 'Big Sister' came too lightly, too delicate..."
"If you don't obey, I will beat you until you obey."
…
In the past, when in front of others, he always called her "Senior Sister" politely. Only when behind others would he call her "Junior Sister" in an almost indifferent attitude.
Now, in front of all the cultivators in Tomorrow's Star Sea, calling her "Junior Sister" is a sarcasm or a mockery
Jianchou looked back at him, and seeing his familiar face with a strange breath, he suddenly had an indescribable feeling in his heart.
When she entered the starry sea, she had heard all kinds of strange rumors.
But it was not until this moment that those countless rumors truly overlapped with the person in front of him, making the feeling that the old friend was no longer there become so real and so realistic.
His name, his identity—
Over the past sixty years, everyone in the entire Tomorrow Star Ocean has known about him!
It can be seen that sadness only feels strange.
After a long silence and staring, he finally nodded slowly, and in a tone that he couldn't even explain, he smiled and returned the greeting: "Your Majesty the Sword Emperor, I have long admired you."
