Hu--Hu-
The feather-like flying snow mingled into the silver hair draped on a delicate body, and two figures stood on both sides of a clearing in the snow forest.
On another mountain in the distance, the figures of a golden dragon and a black python fighting in the sky seemed to have become the background of a fighting game, but it was much more vivid.
*Roar---*
The roar of the golden dragon was deafening, and it shook the mountains and rivers, but its body was now entangled by the black python and its neck was bitten tightly by the snake's two sharp teeth.Feng Yu Die's body rose and fell with her breathing, and her right hand holding the sword was shaking. Looking at the blood-ridden Gu Mingxin ten feet away, a hint of fear appeared in her eyes.
She couldn't beat her...
Her cultivation was one level lower than hers, but their sword skills were almost on par. The emerald sword she bought from Ye Anping, however, was not as good as her blood-colored sword...
She once told Ye Anping that she had a 100% chance of winning against Gu Mingxin.
However, the premise of this 100% chance of winning was that Ye Anping would help her...
Now, Ye Anping was not here, Sister Pei was not here, Sister Xiao was not here, and even Xiao Tian, that useless thing, was nowhere to be found...
Thinking of this, Feng Yu Die unconsciously swallowed a mouthful of bloodied saliva."Gulp~"
Gu Mingxin looked relaxedly at Feng Yu Die, and with a hint of disdain in her red eyes, she asked, "Say, what is your relationship with Liang Xiaoliu? Are you a cultivator couple? Where is he? Give him to me~"
Feng Yu Die inhaled deeply, held her breath to calm her rapidly beating heart, and replied with a frown, "We're not a cultivator couple..."
"Well? Then, who is he to you?"
"...He... he is my sweetheart's husband."
?
Gu Mingxin was slightly stunned, but then she seemed to have figured something out as she narrowed her eyes, smiling. "Oh~ I understand, it's a competitive relationship... But this is something I didn't expect, he is actually a Long Yang*... Well, I don't mind."
What the hell is a *Long Yang*?
Feng Yu Die was slightly stunned when she heard the new term, but in the blink of an eye, the blood-colored sword had already appeared in front of her eyes.
The person came first, and the sound came later.
*Boom---*
In an instant, wind was whirling wildly.
Feng Yu Die instinctively raised her sword and parried.
*Ding---*
The collision of the two swords blew away the snow on the ground. Gu Mingxin sneered and widened her eyes, bringing her face close. "Then, if I kill you, Liang Xiaoliu will be grateful to me, right? Then, no one will compete with him for your sweetheart?"
"..."
"Wait until your head is cut off, and then I will kill your sweetheart... Then, he will belong to me, right? Right? Right?!"
*Ding Ding Ding---*
The sword was like a gust of wind, pressing Feng Yu Die, but she had no strength to fight back at this moment.
The battle between sword cultivators, to put it bluntly, was a back-and-forth of attack and defense. Whoever could achieve more attacks in the process would have a greater chance of winning.
In the beginning, she and Gu Mingxin fought back and forth, but she didn't know when Gu Mingxin's blood-colored sword became a series of shadows in her eyes.
Now, Feng Yu Die couldn't even see Gu Mingxin's sword path, and she could only rely on her body's instincts and feelings to parry.
"Why hasn't Liang Xiaoliu come out yet?~ You're almost dead..."
"Woo..."
"Oh~ Could it be that he wants to use me to get rid of you? I say, the methods of immortal cultivators are really dirty. Waiting for you to die under my sword, then he'll come out to finish me... What is this called? Black python catching dragons, eh, little Xiaoliu?"
Hearing this, Feng Yu Die bit her lips slightly as a trace of fear flashed in her wide eyes, and she raised her voice to refute. "No... Impossible!!"
However, this was also a distraction.
*Swish---*
A sword cut was opened again beside the belt of the snow-white robe, and blood splashed out.
"Hiss---"
Feng Yu Die gritted her teeth in pain and stopped talking, shifting all her attention back to the sword in Gu Mingxin's hand.
*Ding---Ding Ding---*
A strange uneasiness surged in her heart, just like when she wasn't by Ye Anping's side, but this uneasiness at this moment was ten times or a hundred times stronger!
Gu Mingxin saw the hesitation in Feng Yu Die's eyes, and she continued to swing the sword. "How is it impossible? He is the husband of your sweetheart, so you are the rival who covets his partner. He must have wanted to kill you long ago, but he couldn't beat you, so he used me..."
"...No... Young Master Ye..."
"Oh? So his last name is Ye... and he is a Young Master?" Gu Mingxin grinned. "Well, I am willing to help him deal with you, the rival..."
"Young Master Ye won't do that!! He is... He is my friend!!!"
*Ding---*
Sparks flew, and the two swords stopped suddenly, the blades crossed in front of Feng Yu Die and Gu Mingxin.
However, Gu Mingxin's strength seemed to be greater than hers, and she slowly pushed the sword in Feng Yu Die's hand toward her neck.
"Friends? Such a naive idea. Whether you are immortal cultivators or demonic cultivators, how can you say you are friends? Even if you are cultivation partners, you will turn against each other sooner or later."
Feng Yu Die gritted her teeth and pushed Gu Mingxin's sword back desperately. "You...!!"
The friction between the sword blades made a shrill sound.
However, looking at Feng Yu Die's expression, Gu Mingxin was very happy in her heart and asked in an eerie tone, "Then, why hasn't he come to save you? You are going to die, you know that very well. Look at your golden dragon, it can't hold on any longer either."
Feng Yu Die was about to cry and retorted with a sob. "...He... He is coming soon!!"
"Liang...Ye Xiaoliu is so smart. The last time at the ***Imperial*** Sect, his chain of tricks forced me into that state. If he really wanted to come to save you, he should have come a long time ago, right? Look around!"
"Woo... He... He'll come!!"
*Ding---*
Xiao Yunluo's emerald sword flew into the sky with a sound of striking metal.
With a bored look, Gu Mingxin raised her foot and kicked Feng Yu Die in the stomach. She kicked her into a "U" shape and smashed her against a huge rock next to her.
"Ah---!"
*Boom---*
With a mournful ring, the emerald sword pierced into the snow on the ground, and Feng Yu Die leaned on the rock, sitting on the ground and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
When she raised her head, Gu Mingxin's sword had already reached her neck.
"Ah---!"
But she did not slash, just stopped the sword on the side of her neck.
"...Look, he hasn't come yet~ If I didn't stop the sword, your head would have rolled down."
"..."
Feng Yu Die raised her head to look at Gu Mingxin's face and then looked around anxiously, but Ye Anping was nowhere to be seen.
There was only the flying snow and the howling wind in the forest.
A feeling of despair surged in her heart.
Could it be that Master Ye really wanted to kill her through this person, as she said? But Master Ye gave her so many roasted chickens before...
---I don't believe it.
But why hadn't he come yet?!
Master Ye was so smart and always planned everything. He would definitely come in time! He had planned it! What could be the reason for him not to come?
"Ah...ah... suck-suck--"
Feng Yu Die pouted as bean-sized tears squeezed out from her golden eyes.
Gu Mingxin saw her like this and burst out laughing. "Haha-hahahaha-"
A feeling of pleasure surged in her heart, and the humiliation she had suffered in the ***Imperial*** Sect before seemed to dissipate. Gu Mingxin was very happy.
So happy...
"Goodbye~"
Gu Mingxin raised her sword.
Almost at the same time, two shouts resounded through the mountains.
---"Feng Yu Die!!!"
---*"Yu Die!!!"*
Ye Anping, who was about fifty feet away, widened his eyes when he saw the scene below. He gritted his teeth and wanted to crush the flying sword under his feet.
He was really panicked at this moment.
Feng Yu Die couldn't beat Gu Mingxin now. This was a fact he had expected.
That's why he roasted so many chickens for Feng Yu Die before coming here to cheer her up.
And it was as if Feng Yu Die heard the shout in his heart. Seeing Ye Anping and Xiao Tian rushing toward her, she felt like she was brought back from the gates of hell that she voluntarily had stepped through.
*Swish---*
The sound of sword piercing flesh was heard.
Blood gushed out, and Xiao Tian's pupils shrank into a dot.
However, the blood-colored sword did not cut the neck, but the palm...
"I said he would come!!"
Her golden eyes stared at Gu Mingxin, and she moved her left palm that was pierced by the sword forward along the blade, grasping the sword hilt and also Gu Mingxin's right hand that held the sword.
However, on Gu Mingxin's face, there was no regret, only excitement. She did not even look at Feng Yu Die but turned her head to look at Ye Anping who was flying on the sword.
"Ye Xiaoliu!!!"
Ye Anping frowned slightly before flashing to her side, then performed the *Interrogation Sword* technique with his silver sword to slash at her neck.
*Swish---*
The blood-colored sword cut Feng Yu Die's left palm, and two sword lights flashed, taking on Ye Anping's sword hit.
"You have formed a core!! Congratulations on forming a core!! "
"Thank you."
*Ding---*
Under the flying snow, the cold light danced quickly, colliding with countless spiritual brilliance around the two people.
Gu Mingxin stared at Ye Anping's eyes, and the love in her red eyes seemed to overflow.
"Your sword skills have improved a lot!! So amazing~~"
"..."
While the silver snakes were dancing around them, Ye Anping looked at Gu Mingxin calmly, and his heart was relieved a little. Now, he just had to wait for his sister to kill Jiang Mojiao and then come to help, and everything would be over.
At this moment, Xue'e's shout came from above. *"Mingxin!! Behind you!!"*
Gu Mingxin glanced behind her and saw Feng Yu Die with the emerald sword already in front of her neck.
The fear and despair in her golden eyes disappeared completely, replaced by a bone-piercing anger.
Gu Mingxin smiled faintly, blocked Ye Anping's sword, and then blocked Feng Yu Die's with the handle of her sword.
*Ding---!*
Then, she quickly stepped back.
But Ye Anping also seized the opportunity and pressed forward. He had no confidence in being able to cooperate with Feng Yu Die's sword tactics, but he believed that she could keep up with him.
Taking a step forward, he came to Gu Mingxin and raised his sword from bottom to top, but was easily blocked by her as expected.
The next moment, a silvery sound came from behind him, and Ye Anping pressed down his sword, slashing horizontally.
*Swish---*
A touch of blood flew away with a strand of black silky hair, and a three-inch long bloody wound appeared on Gu Mingxin's cheek.
"Hahaha---Ye Xiaoliu!! You are so awesome~~ I love you so much ah ah ah---he ah ah---"
The blood-colored sword came to Ye Anping's neck in an instant.
*Ding---*
Only to be blocked by Feng Yu Die, while at the same time, Ye Anping's sword reached Gu Mingxin's neck.
The sound of flesh being pierced was heard again.
But it only left a tiny mark on Gu Mingxin's skin.
Feng Yu Die stepped lightly on Ye Anping's sword, jumped up, and swung a golden spiritual light from top to bottom, while Ye Anping leaned over and cut a sword horizontally from bottom to top with the *Interrogation Sword* technique.
The two spiritual lights almost blocked Gu Mingxin's way of parrying.
In theory, no matter which sword she blocked, she would still be hit by the other person's sword.
But...
*Ding Ding---*
The blood-colored sword seemed to have duplicated and blocked both swords almost at the same time.
The teasing look on Gu Mingxin's face had disappeared at this moment. She frowned slightly, and her eyes swept between Ye Anping and Feng Yu Die, who seemed to act as one.
"So envious... So envious~~~"
Ye Anping would not give her a chance to breathe, and he immediately followed his advantage.
"Little Gu... Your Brother Wu has died in my hands, your Sister Lu is probably done for already, and the demonic cultivators have been dealt with by the *Snow Guards*. Now, you are the only one left."
"..."
"You are the only one left. All... alone~"
*Ding Ding-- Swish--*
*"Mingxin!! Hold on!!"*
A shadow suddenly engulfed Feng Yu Die and Ye Anping. Looking up, Ye Anping was shocked to see that the python, which was supposed to be dozens of miles away, had already arrived above the forest and was rushing toward them with its mouth open.
"Why haven't Lianxue and Yunluo arrived yet..."
When they came, the four of them would definitely be able to kill Gu Mingxin here, and then everything would stabilize, and there would be no more big changes.
Ye Anping had expected that Gu Mingxin would be hard to kill, but he still felt some regret.
Suddenly, a crazy laugh came from far away.
"Hahahaha-- hahaha-- you bunch of losers!!!!"
Jiang Mojiao?!
Ye Anping's eyes widened. Could it be that the girls lost?
But after thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely.
After dodging the bloody mouth of the python with Feng Yu Die, he looked up, only to see a part of Jiang Mojiao's *Nascent Soul* flying toward them at a high speed.
"Hahaha -- you trash!! Have some use now!! Loser!!"
Roaring with wild laughter, Jiang Mojiao's *Nascent Soul* rushed directly toward Gu Mingxin.
"?!"
Gu Mingxin was confused. She didn't know what he meant by rushing toward her and didn't expect this, so she didn't have time to dodge.
The next moment, Jiang Mojiao's *Nascent Soul* suddenly pierced into Gu Mingxin's forehead.
Xue'e, floating in the sky, saw this and her eyes twitched. She also rushed toward Gu Mingxin, cursing. *"You want to snatch my house?! How dare you!!"*
The delicate voice roared, resounding throughout the fields, and then she drilled into Gu Mingxin's forehead before disappearing along with the huge black python that was originally floating in the sky.
Gu Mingxin staggered, obviously shocked by Jiang Mojiao's *Nascent Soul* rushing into her soul realm, and rolled her eyes.
"Hiss---"
Ye Anping also took a breath of cold air when he saw this.
This Jiang Mojiao wanted to take over Gu Mingxin's body even when he was about to die?!
He realized at this moment that he had completely underestimated Jiang Mojiao's madness.
It was not difficult to predict the behavior of wise and foolish people, but predicting the behavior of a madman was almost like fortune-telling.
In a sense, Jiang Mojiao was much more difficult to deal with than his master!
Feng Yu Die, who was beside Ye Anping, saw that Gu Mingxin had stopped moving, and prepared to take the sword and give her the final blow.
But just as she was about to move, Ye Anping grabbed her wrist and pulled her into his arms.
"Ah?!"
Feng Yu Die was puzzled. "What... what happened?"
"Jiang Mojiao's *Nascent Soul* is about to explode! Quickly condense your energy to protect your body!!"
"Ah..."
After Ye Anping finished speaking, a bloody light rose from Gu Mingxin's brow accompanied by an ear-splitting scream, shaking the sky and the earth and dispersing all the clouds in range.
"Ah..." Pei Lianxue and Xiao Yunluo, who were chasing after Jiang Mojiao, were also blown away by the impact.
"Hey?! What's going on?! Oh shit---"
"Yunluo! Grab my hand..."
The mountains collapsed and the ground cracked; even the thunder and the blizzard faded at this moment.
Feng Yu Die and Ye Anping, who were hugging each other tightly, were blown away by the wind and airwaves. In mid-air, they were hit by the falling rocks and buried in the ground...
