Chapter 12: This Sword Is a Sword With Emotions!

Bai Lian is not a person who enjoys killing.

Long, long ago, even if she saw a scene of a chicken being slaughtered, she would turn her head around with fear.

Let alone asking her to pick up a knife herself.

After a few years, she still vividly remembers the process of having her first murderous thought in this world.

At that time.

Setting off for her mission from the sect, she felt a mix of excitement and nervousness.

But she was ultimately one step too slow.

All she could see were the bloodstains and mutilated corpses, along with the savage beast that had just finished its brutal deed and was now enjoying its lunch.

The chaotic scene stormed into her mind, leaving her with a blank slate that was soon engulfed by the scarlet hue.

There was no need for contemplation.

Under the trend of surging heat, she fiercely plunged her sword into the body of the ferocious beast.

The wailing sound awakened her from her trance.

She stared in a daze at the ferocious beast with its life slipping away.

[When there’s a fire burning in your heart, killing isn’t actually that terrifying.]

Yes.

Fire.

A raging fire.

A flame called the desire to protect oneself.

A flame to protect the people one cares about!

Now such a fire burns within Bai Lian’s body.

She has considered Bu Qingxiao’s position, but the Lord of Reincarnation’s persistent attitude has made her determined.

There’s nothing left to worry about!

She must kill the Lord of Reincarnation to completely resolve the grudges with the fourth Martial Sister.

As for how to revive the grandfather of the fifth Martial Sister, let’s leave that for later.

She cannot retreat now.

If she retreats one step, the enemy will advance one meter.

She was going to pick up her sword and fiercely cut off the enemy’s intention to advance with supreme courage.

"If persuasion doesn’t work on that stubborn old thing, then kill it!"

Heavenly Lord?

Can’t we kill the Heavenly Lord?

If that were the case, why would the master still end up in this plight, and how would the Lord of Reincarnation fall from his high position?

Nothing is impossible.

At least before trying, don’t say it’s impossible!

The blood red in the sky was dispersed by the starlight drawn by the Yu Ying Sword.

Halfway through the flight, Bai Lian quickly took out a gentle Immortal Spirit Stone from her chest.

Unlike Marquis Wu’an, she could not afford any reservations when facing the Lord of Reincarnation.

She had experienced the power of the Great Tao firsthand.

The seed left only by her master in her body has the immense power to destroy everything in the world.

Even if the Lord of Reincarnation loses all of his cultivation base, as long as there is still a trace of the Great Tao within him, he can erupt with a terrifying power that can burn the world at any moment.

"This may cause some discomfort."

Bai Lian suddenly lowered her head and spoke softly to the fourth Martial Sister.

Yu Ying hesitated for a moment before saying, "I am not afraid of pain."

This moment is different from the past.

It’s even different from the day when she and Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian tempered the sword in the cabin.

They didn’t enter each other’s bodies, but they walked deeply into each other’s hearts.

At this moment, her soul entangled with Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian in an extremely wonderful state.

She could feel Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s mood, and Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian could also feel her pain.

Because they were together, she was not afraid of pain.

Here it comes!

Yu Ying saw a huge surge of Immortal Spirit Qi pouring into Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s body like a flood.

In a trance, she seemed to hear the sound of the waves surging.

In this nightfall and beside this cliff, everything seemed so fitting.

She had completely forgotten about the Lord of Reincarnation, who had come at her like a fierce beast.

She devoted herself entirely, surrendering everything to Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian.

Unlike a lifeless sword, she is a sentient sword.

It is because of her sentience that she is capable of directing the power she wields towards venting it out.

Once again she witnessed a countless number of mysterious and profound symbols emerge around Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s body.

Is it a Tao Halo?

Yu Ying didn’t have time to delve deeper.

The shimmering water waves in the air concealed the brilliance of Tao Halo.

Then, the immortal energy that Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian had refined for several rounds flowed into her body through the areas where they had close contact.

This immortal energy was warm like a cup of hot milk in the morning.

However, it is ultimately immortal energy.

It is somewhat difficult for her current body to withstand such a massive amount of immortal energy.

A tearing pain burst in Yu Ying’s sea of divine sense.

She gritted her teeth and endured.

This level is far from enough!

Then, even fiercer impact came.

How could surging waves be only one?

Compared to the previous wave, this subsequent one is ten times more dreadful!

Yu Ying was instantly engulfed and in that moment even forgot her own existence.

Fortunately, her soul had been entangled with Bai Lian all along, and only then did she regain herself.

She realized that she had fallen into a black vortex.

This vortex seemed to bear some resemblance to Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian’s Tao Halo.

But unlike the ethereal and distant scent, she only smelled destruction and decay here.

Humans will perish.

Objects will deteriorate.

Even the heavens and the earth have an end.

"So, even the Heavenly Lord will be killed by my sword!"

At this moment, it felt like Yu Ying had experienced millions of years and endured countless trials. The Dao of destruction and desolation, which symbolized by this, deeply imprinted into her body.

She returned to reality and collided with the Lord of Reincarnation who was whooshing toward Bai Lian.

The Lord of Reincarnation wanted to take over Bai Lian’s body, so he abandoned all his fancy moves.

Bai Lian lacked knowledge of sophisticated techniques, thus she resorted to the most primitive form of combat.

One sword.

Spiritual power poured out.

One sword.

The path of the Great Tao was embodied.

One sword.

The Four-dimensional Way of the Great Tao of the Original Dragon also poured out.

The body of the Lord of Reincarnation was dispersed and then recondensed.

He is the Lord of Reincarnation.

How could he, being like this, easily lose his life?

The tangible swords and spears clash incessantly, while the intangible Ways of the Great Tao wear against each other.

Bai Lian’s body was constantly cycling between collapse and reorganization.

She showed no emotions, just like a cold-blooded assassin, as if all the pain and suffering didn’t exist, she was only focused on sculpting the future.

Let’s see who can hold on until the end!

"Boom–"

Suddenly, a violent explosion swept across the sky.

White and green each occupy half.

The unpredictable light illuminated the faces of everyone around.

The people of the Taixuan Taoist Sect’s eyes turned straight, wanting to take the opportunity to escape. However, before they could act, Xu Pan’s killer move forced them to abandon all distractions and focus on the enemy.

The elders of Xingluo Fortress helped Ji Shang up, and tried to persuade him to gather his strength again. However, Ji Shang was delirious and couldn’t listen to any advice.

The primordial azure flames ignited around Qing Luan’s body, and she was even prepared to burn her divine blood at any moment to prevent Marquis Wu’an from fleeing.

The eldest princess is lacking in strength, especially without the assistance of the Heavenly Secrets Magic Array, causing her to watch from afar with mixed feelings.

Bu Qingxiao got up from the ground, her spirit was broken, but her heart was still alive.

"Actually, I knew all along."

If it were not for the accident, her father wouldn’t have been delayed in returning.

If he didn’t forget his past, that wisp of his father’s soul wouldn’t have been contaminated.

Has it been a million years or ten million years?

Bu Qingxiao had no idea.

Time is no longer important, she only wants to break everything.

Enough, it’s enough!

She flew towards the green in the sky, her speed getting faster and faster, until she surpassed Bai Lian’s sword-light.

…

Hua La——

It seems as if thunder shook the long night.

At that time, Bai Lian was repelled by the Path of Yin and Yang controlled by the Lord of Reincarnation.

Her Yu Ying Sword trembled constantly in her hand, and it could turn back into a human form at any moment.

Her clothing was tattered and beyond repair.

Her [Field] was riddled with holes, resembling a ruin.

Her Qianhuan Real Eyes were filled with flowing blood, only half of their light visible.

Under this influence, half of her hair became as white as snow and the other half as dark as ink, and the aura around her body was constantly oscillating between ethereal and explosive.

"The difference is still very big."

Bai Lian caressed the body of the fourth Martial Sister, hoping to alleviate some of her pain.

Just two months ago, she had relied on the fourth Martial Sister and her master’s way of the Great Tao to severely damage the Lord of Reincarnation. Unexpectedly, he not only recovered but became even more powerful.

"Hahaha!"

Unrestrained laughter emanated from the body of the Lord of Reincarnation.

Even though he was already crazy, he seemed to enjoy being an enigmatic person who spoke incomprehensible words.

"Reincarnation is in my hands, no one can kill me!"

"Those heretics from countless years ago failed, and so will you!"

"How can such impure things exist in this world? All your struggles are in vain, let me cleanse everything now!"

"Ahem, ahem, ahem…"

Bai Lian responded to the Lord of Reincarnation with violent coughing.

It seems there is no solution.

Perhaps she could withstand the Lord of Reincarnation, but next she would have to face Xu Pan.

Die?

Likely.

Bai Lian shook her head.

If she were alone here, she wouldn’t be thinking so much.

However, there was also the fourth Martial Sister who came with her, and Martial Sister Qing Luan beside her. She couldn’t just watch them die along with her.

Now, to safely send the fourth Martial Sister and Qing Luan away, the hope can only be placed on her master.

[Task 1: Summon An Lan and eliminate all those who resist you! (Reward: Heavenly Immortal Pill)]

[Task 2: Summon An Lan to rescue you and your Martial Sisters (Reward: Humanity Spirit Light)]

[Task 3: Summon An Lan to rescue your Martial Sisters (Reward: Light Skill +15)]

Heavenly Immortal Pill?

Same as the reward from the last time.

This "Humanity Spirit Light" is also a rare item that collects faith and purifies the soul.

In fact, considering only Task 3, the risk represented by 15 points of Light Skill is also very, very high for her now!

But isn’t it still better than the other options?

However, the problem lies in how she can persuade her master.

[You go ahead, I will face them alone here!]

How could the master agree easily?

However, there is still a possibility of success.

Use some persuasion tactics.

As she embraced her master tightly and kissed her passionately until she could barely breathe, in her dazed state, her master might have consented.

Let’s act first, and worry about the consequences later.

After deciding on the task, Bai Lian faced the Lord of Reincarnation’s palm prints. She tightly gripped Yu Ying Sword with one hand, and placed the other hand on the jade pendant she had pinned to her chest.

This jade pendant and the one she made by hand for her master are actually a perfect match that can be seamlessly conjoined.

"Summon!"

Bai Lian attempted to call forth her Soul Imprint.

She had calculated everything.

In her current state, utilizing the power of her Qianhuan Real Eyes, she was more than capable of blocking a strike from the Lord of Reincarnation. At that time, she would also successfully make contact with her Master.

Then…

She cannot let her master expose her true cultivation base, so she must convince her as quickly as possible!

"Come on!"

Bai Lian widened her Qianhuan Real Eyes.

A white flame tinged with a hint of black bursted from the edges of her eye sockets.

Burning, fiercely burning, until it ignited the source of Qianhuan Real Eyes, releasing the contained divine power inside.

However, at that moment, an unforeseen incident occurred.

Suddenly, a graceful figure flew out from the side and intercepted the Lord of Reincarnation just twenty yards away from her.

"Bu Qingxiao?"

Quickly move out of the way!

The call for Bai Lian had already been too late.

The Lord of Reincarnation didn’t hold back at all, and the full force of the blow landed heavily on Bu Qingxiao.

The turbulent waves rolled up high, and Bai Lian only knew that the starry sky was in chaos.

Astonishingly, Bu Qingxiao didn’t take a single step back, nor did she sway.

Bai Lian could feel her breath violently fluctuating, like a candle placed in the wind.

"This…"

Perhaps no one had expected this scene.

"Enough!"

Suddenly, Bu Qingxiao shouted loudly.

She stared intently at the right hand that the Lord of Reincarnation has lifted up again.

This cry didn’t cause any hesitation to the Lord of Reincarnation.

"You are like a mantis trying to stop a chariot! How can you stop me?"

He laughed and condensed a new technique of yin and yang.

Bu Qingxiao was not trembling before, but now she was shaking with excitement.

"What are you doing exactly?"

She clenched her fists tightly and yelled loudly.

"Have you forgotten? Have you forgotten why you came here?"

The long spear came crashing forth.

Bu Qingxiao still didn’t back down.

After all, she used to be an Immortal Emperor, so she can take these attacks completely.

Compared to the injuries on her body, what’s even more unbearable for her is the anger in her heart.

Searching, searching, searching…

She spent her whole life searching.

She was the daughter of the Heavenly Lord, so she once ascended to a high position.

Also because she was the daughter of the Heavenly Lord, she suffered from endless bullying after losing her aura.

The Lord of Reincarnation has already lost his original intention, and Bu Qingxiao feels that she is on the verge of losing hers as well.

She is still here because of her persistence.

She wants to find her father and ask him why he never came back!

Because of this persistence, she has not lost herself in the endless cycle of reincarnation.

However…

Enough, it’s really enough!

Bu Qingxiao clung tightly to the spear that had been thrust at her.

Her hand was bleeding profusely and she shouted loudly:

"Since you have forgotten, let me tell you that you came out to search for a way to cure my mother. But she had passed away long ago. After searching for so long, what have you actually found?"

What have you actually found?

At that moment, the strength in the Lord of Reincarnation’s hand suddenly diminished slightly.

His gaze passed over Bu Qingxiao’s shoulder and settled on Bai Lian, whose flames at the corner of her eyes were gradually extinguishing.

In a state of confusion, countless memories flashed through his mind.

But it was too messy.

He couldn’t separate anything useful from those memories.

He stared at Bu Qingxiao tightly, the strength in his hands involuntarily increasing.

"What did you say just now? What did you say?"

Bu Qingxiao’s body began to crumble, yet she didn’t flinch.

She locked eyes with the Lord of Reincarnation and spoke slowly, word by word:

"My mother died, your wife died!"

The moment the character "died" fell, the whole world went quiet.

The Lord of Reincarnation looked down at the gun in his hand, and then gazed upon Bu Qingxiao’s countenance.

Here, there…

There, here…

He remembered.

"Impossible, impossible!"

The Lord of Reincarnation suddenly released his long spear, took a step back, and his solid body suddenly became ethereal.

"It’s only been a few years, she can’t be dead, she…"

Bu Qingxiao interrupted him loudly, "She’s dead. The day she died, I was the only one with her. You weren’t there, you were never there!"

"Impossible!"

"Why impossible? Look here, even I have become an Immortal Emperor! Look at yourself, look at everything around you, see what you really are!"

The mouth of the Lord of Reincarnation opened slightly.

He did see the familiar contours on Bu Qingxiao’s face and sensed the familiar breath.

He looked around again.

This world was completely different from the one he had seen at first.

Only…

He shook his head abruptly.

"I’ve gone mad, completely mad."

He tightly clenched his fists, and strange red marks kept appearing on his body.

"These marks."

Bai Lian widened her eyes.

She remembered seeing similar marks on Si Yunshang, which were from the Heavenly Demon Magic Spell.

"I’m sorry, I’m sorry…"

The Lord of Reincarnation kept repeating these words.

"You should indeed apologize."

Bu Qingxiao threw away the spear and took steps towards the Lord of Reincarnation with the contaminated Soul Imprint held in her hand.

"Do not continue like this. Let it be, let it be…"

She opened her arms and embraced the Lord of Reincarnation.

This hug seemed to possess magical power as the Lord of Reincarnation became completely calm.

He no longer trembled, but forced a bitter smile.

You are right.

Actually, I haven’t done nothing. Sometimes, people must make choices.

He hugged Bu Qingxiao back.

A beam of divine light shone from the Soul Imprint, enveloping them inside.

"Is it over?"

Bai Lian was slightly confused.

No, it’s not over yet!

In addition to the Lord of Reincarnation, Xu Pan was also watching closely on the side.

She knew that doing so would make the eldest princess feel uneasy, but with the fourth Martial Sister present, the conflict between her and Xu Pan had already reached an irreconcilable level.

Kill him, don’t let him escape!

Bai Lian turned around, her strength had been greatly weakened, but with the cooperation of the people from the Taixuan Taoist Sect, she would definitely be able to kill Xu Pan.

"It’s your turn!"

Xu Pan felt an unprecedented pressure.

The Lord of Reincarnation was unreliable, he could not stay here anymore.

He had to escape quickly, then rescue Marquis Wu’an. Even if it meant paying a price, it was worth it.

Bai Lian’s speed was fast, so he didn’t have time to hesitate.

Secret Skill – Blood Devouring!

Bright red flames burst out from Xu Pan’s body.

He swiftly broke out of the encirclement of the people of the Taixuan Taoist Sect and flew directly towards Bai Lian.

Bai Lian immediately raised the Yu Ying Sword.

Still the Sunset Sword Technique!

Xu Pan’s pupils contracted.

It’s right now.

He focused all his attention on the tip of the sword, watching the trajectory of its sliding. In the moment the sword tip was about to fall, he immediately leaned to the left.

Six-armed Divine Demon Body!

In an instant, Xu Pan’s body swelled up.

He had no intention of engaging in a direct fight with Bai Lian. He simply used half his body as bait, and clearly, Bai Lian fell for it.

Hua–

His body was chopped into pieces, yet he found a gap and flew to Marquis Wu’an in an instant.

"Let’s go!"

Xu Pan parted the void and grabbed Marquis Wu’an, ready to jump in.

But he calculated Bai Lian, and missed Qing Luan.

"I have been prepared for this moment!"

Though Yu Ying was her competitor, since this is what Elder Martial Sister Bai Lian wants to do, she would spare no effort to assist her.

Divine blood, ignite!

A sea of blue flames gushed out from her body and in the twinkling of an eye, it turned into a firewall in front of Xu Pan and Marquis Wu’an.

"Oh no."

Xu Pan’s face turned pale.

He immediately stopped, as he wouldn’t be affected much, but Marquis Wu’an couldn’t hold on anymore.

With a firewall in front and Bai Lian behind, how can I escape?

"I will share some of my life force with you."

Xu Pan immediately made a decision.

The only way out now is to break through the firewall.

Marquis Wu’an suddenly shook his head, and a smile appeared on his face, "No need…"

"You don’t need to say much," Marquis Wu’an said, "Do you remember why we came here?"

"Of course!"

"That’s enough, actually we were well prepared in advance."

"Yes."

Xu Pan sighed, thinking that if he were to become enemies with Taixuan Taoist Sect, he would have to risk his life to fight against them.

"After leaving here, we will rest for half a year, and then go to the Taixuan Taoist Sect to revenge. As long as we are careful in hiding, we will not be discovered by them. With the Tao Source Golden Pillar, the Gate of All Living Beings can be opened, and this time we will succeed…"

Xu Pan’s voice became louder as he spoke.

He caught sight of the future he had been hoping for.

However, just at this moment, a tremendous force suddenly fell on his waist.

He collided head-on with the firewall.

His face suddenly changed.

Stop, please stop, don’t go there!

But he was completely unable to control his own body.

He passed through the firewall, and looked back anxiously.

He saw Marquis Wu’an’s body rapidly swelling, which was a precursor to self-detonation.

He also saw Bai Lian’s sword had already fallen.

Finally, he saw Marquis Wu’an move his lips towards him.

He recognized it.

Because those were the words he would dream of even in his dreams.

"Da Mang Mountain!"

"Ye Ningan!"

Xu Pan’s howling echoed through the sky.
