Chapter 864 -868: Substitute Driving the Sword

…

The twin ponytailed girl was lively and youthful, her whole being exuding an indescribable vitality, with a hint of enchanting allure amid her greenness.

Lou Qian approached the Martial Arts Floating Platform, deliberately waiting there for a long time so that her opponent could recover some strength.

After resting for a long time, Hu Shu then proceeded to the next duel.

Different from the sword fanatic’s swordsmanship, the twin-ponytailed Celestial Maiden Lou Qian’s swordplay was extremely fanciful; her true form was like a spirit butterfly amongst the flowers, her sword dance flowing and seemingly soft, yet hidden with deadly intent.

Eventually, Celestial Maiden Lou Qian unleashed a layering sword technique, executing the same sword move a hundred times in one breath, the repetition amplifying to the extent that it seemed to tear space itself!

It was an Earth-level sword technique.

This was a move that Linghu Ling had taught to Zhu Minglang.

And this woman performed it extremely skillfully, catching the Sword Scatter Immortality Hu Shu completely off guard.

Hu Shu managed to defend with great difficulty, but his whole body was clearly numb, making it very difficult to continue executing his swordsmanship.

“I can’t go on because of fatigue, I concede,” Hu Shu hastily said.

“Is that so, I could let you rest a bit longer,” Lou Qian said with a bright and sunny smile.

“I’ll take your instruction another time,” Hu Shu quickly left the platform.

Having already won a match, it was indeed plausible to use fatigue as an excuse to face another battle in succession.

At least this way, it wasn’t a loss, but merely an inability to continue battling.

“How boring,” Lou Qian pouted, then spoke, “Please invite the Martial Saint you mentioned before to come up; after all, I haven’t even broken a sweat from the previous fight.”

Knowledge Saint Honor glanced at the seating area.

Updat𝓮d from frёewebnoѵēl.com.

The Martial Saint had not yet arrived.

Xuange explained, “There was an emergency last night; the Martial Saint had to deal with it overnight, and it will take some time for him to return.”

“Then let’s not duel with swords, bring out some True Gods who can actually fight,” Lou Qian said.

Xuange had naturally arranged everything and ordered the tiger-skin clad mysterious person who had previously looked after Zhu Minglang to go up.

The tiger-skin clad mysterious person was very powerful, his cultivation even higher than that of the War Saint.

However, this person never spoke a word and his face lacked any expression; he basically did whatever Knowledge Saint Honor or Xuange instructed.

…

“Knowledge Saint Honor, if all these little celestial maidens from the Yuheng Star Palace are so formidable, won’t we be totally defeated when Linghu Fairy makes her move?” At this moment, Li Wangshan couldn’t help but say.

“Li Wangshan, you speak as an amateur,” said Little War God Yang Bing.

“How so?” Li Wangshan asked, puzzled.

“How could Linghu Fairy possibly make a move? Her status is equivalent to our current Xuange God; she’s here to supervise the battle, not to fight. Only Hua Chou, Ming Meng, or Flaunting are on a level to contend with her,” explained Little War God Yang Bing.

“Oh, oh, oh…”

“She is a God principal,” said Knowledge Saint Honor in a low voice.

Zhu Minglang overheard this conversation and was secretly astonished.

So it turns out Linghu Ling was already at the God principal level.

No wonder all the Divine Chosen and deities of Dragon Gate showed her such respect, addressing her as “Linghu Fairy”.

That means, if her cultivation in Dragon Gate hadn’t reached the God principal level, it would be considered as if she had gained nothing…

No wonder she was eager to enter the next heavenly layer.

Her journey in Dragon Gate likely didn’t yield significant gains.

“So she’s at the God principal level. It’s good I didn’t do anything too outrageous to her last night; otherwise, I would have provoked Xuange and Linghu Ling in succession and really endangered my life,” Zhu Minglang said with lingering fear.

…

Li Yunzi arrived late.

Her eye bags were also somewhat darker.

Clearly, she hadn’t slept at all last night.

Zhu Minglang felt very distressed for her.

She was supposed to accompany him to Mist Spring Mountain and relax properly; if handled well, it was even possible to take advantage of the lingering medicinal effects of the Immortal Soup for an innocent and pure dual cultivation session. Had she come over this morning, she would have surely shone with a radiance that would outshine all other goddesses, not looking the least bit haggard like now.

In such a condition, how could she properly compete?

“Didn’t sleep at all last night?” Zhu Minglang approached Li Yunzi and asked.

“Mhm,” Li Yunzi nodded.

“Then how can you compete? Let me do it in your stead,” Zhu Minglang said.

“That would expose your abilities,” Li Yunzi shook her head.

“It doesn’t matter; I’m not the one going up. Just borrowing you my sword is enough,” Zhu Minglang said.

Li Yunzi wasn’t a true Sword Cultivator.

She was a psychokineticist, a master of object control, with weapons being the objects most attuned to her. She would always carry some silver threads, which would be gathered into silver swords when needed.

Thus, to outsiders, Li Yunzi was a Sword Cultivator.

In fact, given a blade, spear, axe or mace, she could manipulate them all the same.

“In a bit, you just need to stand there and rest, you can even close your eyes and conserve your energy,” Zhu Minglang whispered into Li Yunzi’s ear.

“Okay,” Li Yunzi didn’t insist.

Last night, she indeed used a large amount of mental power; to slay a Night Emperor demon, she even suffered some damage to her vitality. Now to compete with the sword cultivator Celestial Maidens of the Yuheng Star Palace would indeed be too much of a stretch.

Moreover, as an undefeated Valkyrie, maintaining an unblemished record is also part of her cultivation.

Either do not fight at all, or do not allow herself a single defeat when she does.

…

Li Yunzi stepped forward. Despite some voices of doubt from among the ranks of the True Gods, Tianshu truly had too few sword cultivators that were presentable.

The reputation of the Martial Saint within the Xuan Ge was getting higher and higher. Since her victories directly reflected on the “battle wins,” her status was gradually becoming on par with that of the Knowledge Saint Honor. When she stepped onto the Floating Tooth Mountain Platform, a chorus of cheers were already sounding in the Xuan Ge Temple.

“This influence… you’d think it was Xuan Ge himself who was going into battle if you didn’t know any better.”

“Nobody dislikes a leader who emerges victorious in every battle and is such a stunning beauty.”

“Hmph, just skilled in using some tricks to win over people’s hearts. Who knows, perhaps those public calls for her are all orchestrated by herself.”

There would never be a shortage of discussions about the Martial Saint. Li Yunzi’s brilliance was too dazzling; even the Sword Scatter Immortality Hu Shu was just a future True God, but the influence Li Yunzi brought was starting to shake the faith in the Xuange Divine Country, causing some division of faith.

Of course, this battle was also crucial for Li Yunzi.

Whether she was a Valkyrie in name only, or truly a reincarnation of the Valkyrie, it all came down to whether she could defeat the sword cultivator Celestial Maidens of the Yuheng Star Palace!

“Hehe, being outstanding in controlling the battlefield does not mean she is strong in her own right,” Ming Meng said from a particularly secluded spot.

This woman had crushed his invincible God Army of Tianshu, but war itself was not a contest of personal strength. Ming Meng did not believe Li Yunzi’s own abilities could be compared to those of the sword-obsessed maidens from the Yuheng Star Palace.

“Please enlighten me.”

Li Yunzi approached the front of the platform, her ravishing figure and cold, stunning beauty became fundamentally different from some ornamental deities after her battle-hardened experience.

Lou Qian’s expression became a few degrees more serious.

She felt an invisible oppressive force.

Despite the opponent not being a True God, she felt an unattainable impression in her heart.

“I need to rest for a while,” Lou Qian said.

“Okay, tell me when you’re ready,” Li Yunzi nodded.

…

Lou Qian sat down cross-legged, demonstrating perfect flexibility, able to maintain a straight back even in such a posture.

Li Yunzi remained standing, her hand holding the Sword Spirit Dragon which dangled casually downwards. The bright sunlight shone on her cheeks, lending a porcelain-like glow to her skin. She slowly closed her eyes, her body remained erect with an elegant gracefulness, yet the air about her relaxed, becoming serene and refined like the spring warmth of a goddess.

After an unknown period, Lou Qian finally felt confident.

She stood up, her intelligent eyes sizing up the still and jade-like Li Yunzi. Watching her, Lou Qian, for some reason, puffed up her cheeks.

Why does she have such a slender frame, yet all the right curves in all the right places!

She looked like a stunning fairy; she couldn’t be that strong, huh!

“I’m rested,” Lou Qian spoke.

Li Yunzi did not respond and continued to rest with her eyes closed.

“I said, I’m rested!” Lou Qian emphasized a bit more.

Li Yunzi might have really fallen asleep standing up, showing no reaction.

Lou Qian started to get angry, seeing herself being ignored.

In Yuheng Star Palace, she was already capricious. In these other God Territories, she cared even less for any rules.

Raising her sword, a violent whirlwind suddenly surged around Lou Qian. The wind bit voraciously, and in that split second, she thrust her sword silently and swiftly, yet with astonishing power.

Zhu Minglang instantly activated the Sword Spirit Dragon with his mind.

The Sword Spirit Dragon rapidly left Li Yunzi’s palm, facing Lou Qian’s pythonic wind and biting sword with Sword Qi like a fierce tiger of the mountains, wild and magnanimous!

“Clang!!!”

The swords collided, and while both were longswords, Lou Qian’s sword was directly sent flying, with the thread of mental connection she had with it severed completely, making her unable to summon the sword back no matter how she tried.

Lou Qian’s eyes widened in surprise as she saw the Crimson Sword still flying towards her. She quickly drew another reserve sword from her sword bag!

Blocking with her reserve sword, she created a wall of ice, only to have it shattered by the Sword Spirit Dragon. Lou Qian twirled in panic, her delicate form vanishing into a flurry of lotus petals amidst the chaotic sword winds.

The next moment, she appeared ten meters behind Li Yunzi.

Lou Qian, a bit spitefully, drew out another sword, deciding to wield dual blades.

The two blades dashed forward, causing a dazzling display of a starry sword light…

Li Yunzi did not turn around, nor did she open her eyes.

Zhu Minglang greatly admired his wife’s trust in himself.

Alright then, you keep sleeping, and your husband will handle any tempest for you.

“Instant Sword!”

Zhu Minglang mentally signaled, and the not too distant Sword Spirit Dragon immediately changed its direction, transforming into a residual image…

As this shadow swept by Li Yunzi, Lou Qian’s movements seemed to slow, while the Sword Spirit Dragon’s speed, in this moment, rapidly increased!

“Clang! Clang!!!!”

Once again, Lou Qian’s dual swords were sent flying by the Sword Spirit Dragon!

The Sword Spirit Dragon could demonstrate Middle-level God General prowess even fighting independently, let alone being remotely controlled by Zhu Minglang’s thoughts!
