This martial saint's health bar is too thick

Chapter 583 Lovers, Swords of Passion

Under the night.

The woman in green drew her sword, its light as sharp as ink, leaving a long, dark mark on the white barrier above the Green City.

The outer layer of the White Pagoda's Wish-Fulfilling and Evil-Suppressing Array was utterly vulnerable to Ning Qingman; she was about to completely 'peel off' this 'shell' with a single sword strike.

"Be careful--"

Fu Ziwu's warning suddenly rang out.

Ning Qingman frowned slightly.

A river of the underworld, carrying countless lonely souls and mournful wails, burst forth from the void and swept towards the figure in green!

In that instant, Ning Qingman felt disoriented, as if she had fallen into the underworld—

The hardships of learning swordsmanship from his father as a child, the joy of being discovered to have exceptional talent at the age of seventeen, the sudden upheaval, and the grief of the Ning family's destruction.
All these memories flashed through Ning Qingman's mind like a fleeting glimpse.

It was as if she had relived her life, and then forgotten it—

He forgot where he came from, forgot why he came to save people, and forgot who Li Fei was.
In the end, they even forgot who they were!

The Dao—[The River of Oblivion]!
In her mental state, Ning Qingman, who was looking around blankly, suddenly found herself holding a sword.

Then he thrust out with his sword.

Even if one forgets who one is, a sword immortal will never forget how to wield a sword!
The sword light pierced through the underworld, cutting through the mist!
Ning Qingman recalled everything.

The changes in her mental state happened in an instant. When she came to her senses, she was already in the River Styx, surrounded by countless vengeful spirits that were constantly pulling at her, only to be slashed away by her protective sword energy.

The waters of the Styx constantly corroded her sword energy, and the chilling, malevolent aura continuously assaulted her sword intent.

The Dao principle of the Styx Ancestor, [Wangchuan], can capture people's souls, refine memories, control spirits, and simulate reincarnation.

Specializes in strong crowd control and area-of-effect attacks!
If you launch a surprise attack from the shadows, it's easy to gain the upper hand.

"If the Styx Ancestor has come, then Li Ming must have come too."

Such a thought flashed through Ning Qingman's mind.

Sure enough, outside of Emerald Green City, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth within a radius of a hundred miles seemed to be grabbed and held in the palm of an invisible hand!
The Dao Principle—[Devouring Heaven]!
The primordial energy of heaven and earth converged wildly above Emerald Green City, with Ning Qingman's location at the very center.

She was in the River Styx, outside of which was a vortex formed by a storm of primordial energy.

Before she could escape from the River Styx, the vortex outside was already squeezing inward, as if trying to compress this space into a single point!

The River Styx, which already possesses spatial properties, cooperated by contracting inward, making the process smoother and faster.

After their previous collaboration, the two demons worked together even more seamlessly.

This move combines the power of the two people's Dao principles, making it incredibly powerful!
The space above Emerald City twisted and deformed, squeezing out a black dot inward before suddenly exploding.

boom! ! !
It was as if the world had been created anew, and the primordial wilderness had reappeared.

The terrifying waves transformed into a storm, sweeping across all directions.

Even grandmasters like Fu Ziwu could barely protect themselves in this storm, and it was difficult for them to even get close to the center of the storm, let alone offer any assistance.

Fu Ziwu stared intently at the very center of the explosion.

The secret that Tu Shoudao obtained from Huyanpushan's memories was that Qilian Guanshi was secretly cooperating with two evil demons.

Today's event has seen the opposing side not only invite three princes from the Western Continent, but also two demons!

A sword light shone in the center of the storm, cleaving through the void and splitting apart the primordial energy.

Ning Qingman reappeared, but her cloak was destroyed, she had multiple wounds, and her long hair was disheveled, flying in the wind.

A figure stepped out of the void, standing on the River Styx.

This man possesses a powerful and vigorous qi and blood, flowing like a mighty river. His fist intent is so strong that it can devour the heavens and the earth, and his aura can cover mountains and rivers!

This is the true physique and realm of a Martial Saint.

"Li Ming!"

Ning Qingman stared coldly at the newcomer.

Although its appearance has changed, and a new body has been created using the [Demon Embryo Soul Seed], the aura and principles of the other party will not change.

The newcomer was none other than the evil demon Li Ming!

As for the Styx Ancestor, he remains hidden in the shadows and has not yet revealed himself.

"Ning Qingman, you really came!"

Li Ming sneered, "After our parting in Tancheng, I thought you would have no more weaknesses, but I didn't expect that you would have taken down one and then have another one immediately."

He had previously set up a trap in Tancheng, specifically targeting Ning Qingman's long-standing inner conflict.

After the battle of Tancheng, Ning Qingman's inner conflict was resolved. Not only did her swordsmanship improve, but she also no longer had any obvious weaknesses.

It will be unlikely that Li Ming will be able to use similar methods to force the other party to submit in the future.

But to their surprise, just as the opponent removed one weakness, another one immediately appeared.

At first, when Qilian Guanshi contacted him and told him about this, he was somewhat skeptical.

The two people are so different in age and experience.

Moreover, Li Fei was an important minister of the Great Blue Dynasty, while Ning Qingman had long been disgusted with the court and did not want to get involved.

Will the other party really come to rescue them?
Now, witnessing Ning Qingman disregard her own health and speed over a thousand miles to bring him eastward with a sword, he was only half convinced.

The remaining half depends on Ning Qingman's next choice.

Fu Ziwu also looked nervously at the figure in the blue robe with long hair flying in the air.

Ning Qingman had already suffered considerable losses on her journey to get here in time, and now she was ambushed by two evil demons and injured.

In this situation, would the other party still stay?
Inside the city, Qilian Guanshi flew to the very top of the great formation, with 108 white pagodas beneath his feet.

He stared intently at the figure in blue robes above him.

"If you're here, stay!"

Even with Ning Qingman's current poor condition, the combined strength of Li Ming and the Styx Ancestor is not enough to guarantee that they can keep her.

If this sword immortal is determined to leave, there are few ravines in this world that she cannot level with a single sword strike!
Now, let's see what she chooses.

"Li Ming".

Ning Qingman met the gaze of the demon in the distance, her tone now calm, "I've been searching everywhere for you, and you insisted on offering yourself up, which suits me perfectly!"

As the last word "意" fell, a sword light had already reached Li Ming.

She chose to stay!

"it is good--"

Li Ming laughed heartily and threw a punch to meet the attack.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth trembled violently once again and converged.

Rivers of the Styx stretched out from the void like countless tentacles, carrying hundreds of thousands of souls toward Ning Qingman.

Two evil demons clash with the sword immortal once more!

"This woman actually stayed."

Inside the great formation, Prince Zor shook his head, utterly bewildered.

"Having reached this level, do you still not understand that so-called emotions are merely a burden?"

“Prince Zor, you don’t understand.”

A knowing smile appeared on Prince Elmer's young face.

This prince was known throughout the Western Continent for his womanizing ways and was a famous romantic.

He opened his arms wide and exclaimed in admiration:

"This is love—"

Upon hearing this, Qilian Guanshi also smiled.

He couldn't be sure whether Ning Qingman's feelings for Li Fei were love.

But what he was certain of was that this sword immortal and Marquis Jing'an, Li Fei, were the same kind of people.

Both were passionate and chivalrous.

If swordsmanship is divided into "feeling" and "unfeeling", Ning Qingman undoubtedly practices the feeling swordsmanship.

Since it is a sword imbued with emotion, it will naturally be drawn for the sake of emotion!
As far as the two demons outside were concerned, they didn't care how the Great Blue Dynasty and the Grassland Royal Court were fighting.

I wish they would fight until their brains were splattered out!

The more chaotic the world becomes, the freer these evil spirits are!
Therefore, Qilian Guanshi never intended to have these two evil spirits help him deal with the Great Blue Dynasty.

Whether fighting against the White Flame Army or besieging Li Fei in Emerald Green City, neither of the two demons will make a move.

The only one who could truly entice the two of them to take action was Ning Qingman.

Ning Qingman is younger and more talented than the two of them, and her strength will continue to grow, further widening the gap between them.

So as long as you don't want to live in constant fear in the future, always worrying that one day a sword will fall on your head.

The two evil spirits definitely want to get rid of Ning Qingman!

Qi Lian Guan Shi only speculated that if Li Fei was trapped, Ning Qing Man would likely come to rescue him.

So he contacted the two evil spirits in advance.

Now, things are developing as he expected. "Preparing for the next step."

Qilian Guanshi said to the two princes of the Western Lands.

The border of the Western Extremist Country.

The dazzling sword light fell to earth like the moon, illuminating the night sky.

Jinglian, dressed in a red robe, emerged from the void using her divine speed, blocking the path of Buddha-Eye Heavenly King and also blocking the flying sword of Wuhui True Lord.

He threw out the Vajra pestle in his hand, which instantly transformed into a white dragon.

The white dragon was surrounded by golden Sanskrit characters, and various illusions such as the Pure Land of Lapis Lazuli, the Pagoda, and the Seven Treasures Lapis Lazuli Cup flickered around it.

The white dragon, imbued with the power of heaven and earth, roared as it charged toward the sword light!
But before the white dragon could actually touch the flying sword, it was already sliced ​​in two by the moonlight-like sword light!
"Ok?"

High in the sky, when Wu Hui saw Jing Lian appear, he thought she was the newly promoted top expert of Buddhism.

But after the other party made their move, they realized it wasn't true at all.

Although this power has exceeded the limit of a top-level True Person at the Great Perfection of the Heavenly Gang and Earthly Fiends, it is far from reaching the pinnacle level and has no power of Dao principles.

In comparison, the power that Jinglian displayed was at most about the same as that before Wuhui broke through to the next realm.

That is, prince level.

"Then what makes you think you can block my sword?"

Wu Hui's mind flashed with many thoughts in an instant.

Jinglian used her vajra to transform into a white dragon to block the sword, thus buying herself a little more time.

He clasped his hands together and then pushed them forward.

A wisp of light flew from his palm, looking like an insignificant candle flame, flickering in the wind, seemingly about to go out at any moment.

But when the candlelight came into contact with the overwhelming moonlight sword light, it ignited all the moonlight at once, and then surged!
A green lamp before the Buddha, with only a single wick!
Jinglian borrowed the relic formed from her disciple Wuche's own fortune, and with the help of Buddhist fortune, she broke through to the next realm, but still failed to reach the summit.

Like Ji Yiheng of the Great Blue Dynasty, although he failed to break through to the next realm, he did not suffer a strong backlash. Instead, he remained at the transcendent realm and possessed the combat power of a prince.

Ji Yiheng's princely status is reflected in the changes in his natal flying sword, which allows him to better utilize the power of the "Twelvefold Heavenly Array of the Missing Sword Tower".

Even without activating the Sword Tower, he can still make his natal flying sword take off by borrowing momentum.

This path is similar to Qilian Guanshi's breakthrough of realm limitations through the power of faith.

Jinglian's path is the same as theirs.

He borrowed the luck of Buddhism.

Upon reaching the prince level, he can independently utilize Buddhist fortune and convert it into his own power more efficiently.

This ability can be seen as an advancement of the [Jing'an] supernatural power.

That is why Jinglian was able to borrow a bit of wick from the lamp in front of the Buddha and use it at this moment.

The light has grown from the size of a fingertip to the size of a mountain.

Just now, a bright moon hung high in the night sky; now, it has been replaced by a blazing sun!
Immediately afterwards, a black spot appeared at the center of this round of solar eclipse.

The black spot rapidly expanded, turning into a void.

A flawless white flying sword shot out from the hole and pierced the sun!

If it were a newly promoted top expert, Jinglian, with the borrowed light from the Buddha's lamp, could at least withstand a few blows, if not match them.

But he was facing a True Lord who had risen through the ranks as a sword cultivator.

One sword breaks all laws!

The flying sword instantly arrived in front of Jinglian, a cold glint touching his brow.

As this newly promoted Buddhist prince-level powerhouse was about to perish, a vast Buddhist mantra emanated from his body:

"Thus have I heard. At one time, the Buddha was in the Trayastrimsa Heaven, preaching the Dharma to his mother. At that time, in countless worlds throughout the ten directions, there were inexpressible and indescribable..."

As the chanting of Buddhist hymns arose, the pure lotus retreated into the void, replaced by a projection of Mount Sumeru towering into the clouds!
Immediately afterwards, thirty-three bronze hells descended upside down from the clouds.
hum! ! !
The flying sword slashed through various strange phenomena, but eventually stopped.

"[The Buddha's words]?"

Wu Hui's gaze fell on a certain spot, just as Jing Lian stepped out of that void. "Truly a remarkable technique."

Jinglian can borrow the fortune of Buddhism and the light of the lamp before the Buddha, so naturally she can also borrow Jingheng's words of wisdom!
Because Jingheng's path was also formed by borrowing the fortune and momentum of Buddhism.

Therefore, after Jinglian broke through his realm and possessed the combat power of a prince, he became the best 'vessel' for Jingheng to remotely cast the [Buddha's Words]!
Of course, the greater the distance, the greater the consumption, and the less powerful the Buddha's words will be.

However, since Jinglian is now right next to the Buddhist Kingdom, Jingheng can use the nation's fortune to transmit power, so the power of the Buddha's words has not diminished much.

As a backup plan prepared by the Buddhists, if Wu Hui hadn't come to help in this battle...

With the ability to use supernatural speed, Jinglian can launch a surprise attack and, together with the two Heavenly Kings, severely injure Wenren Zheng!
Even if Wu Hui really came, right next to the Buddhist Kingdom, the power of the [Buddha's Words] that Jing Lian could borrow would be enough to stop Wu Hui, this newly promoted True Monarch.

It won't cause the situation to collapse.

"Amitabha."

Jinglian clasped his hands together, but the voice that came out was no longer his own; it belonged to the Buddha of this world.
"The True Lord was originally a man of the mountains, single-mindedly seeking immortality and enlightenment. Why bother to come to this mortal world?"

"Even if the whole world becomes a Buddhist kingdom in the future, I can still guarantee the tranquility of Lingxu Mountain."

No ruler would provoke a force with a top-tier expert unless the other party actively seeks to become an enemy or does something excessive.

Therefore, as long as the Feathered Ascension Sect does not get involved in these disputes, no matter what happens in the future, Buddhism will not eliminate a sect that only wants to seek immortality on the mountain.

The struggle between Buddhism and Taoism over the years, apart from the deliberate provocations of the Great Blue Dynasty, has mostly stemmed from the Great Luo Sect's single-minded rivalry with the Pudu Temple.

If we're really talking about grudges, the Feathered Ascension Sect and Buddhism have the fewest grudges.

"When entrusted with a task, one should be loyal to the person who entrusted it to you."

Wu Hui offered a brief explanation.

At this point, the fighting between the two sides temporarily ceased.

Wenren Zheng did not continue to attack. Zhenhe Tianwang and the rescued Fomu Tianwang retreated to create distance.

Xuanxin Zhenjun and Qin Mingli also temporarily stopped fighting.

Wenren was looking at Jinglian, his eyes shifting.

After Wu Che was crippled, if we were to say who in Buddhism was most likely to break through to the pinnacle, this senior Arhat would be the only candidate.

But Jinglian did not reach the pinnacle.

In that 'struggle to cross the river' back then, only Wu Hui successfully reached the summit.

Or will the second new summit be someone else?
Emerald Green City.

The battle between Ning Qingman and the two evil demons reached its climax from the very beginning!
The cyan sword light, like a paintbrush, painted across the sky, leaving behind crisscrossing marks.

The primordial energy of heaven and earth sometimes condenses and sometimes disintegrates.

The Styx River transformed into countless branches, spreading out from the void and weaving into a cage, attempting to trap Ning Qingman within it.

But with a flash of sword light, the Styx River was severed.

Ning Qingman relentlessly pursued and killed Li Ming!

Li Ming fought and retreated, only managing to hold on thanks to the Styx Ancestor's interference with the [Forgetful River] at crucial moments.

Ning Qingman is clearly not at her peak condition and is injured, yet she is now single-handedly overpowering two great demons!
It wasn't that the two evil demons were too weak, but rather that Ning Qingman fought too fiercely with every sword strike!

Neither Li Ming nor the Styx Ancestor were willing to trade their lives for hers and benefit their comrades, so they fought very conservatively.

“So fierce.”

Inside the great formation, Qilian Guanshi exclaimed in admiration.

"Ning Qingman—"

His voice suddenly emanated from within the great formation, resounding throughout the heavens and earth:
"You want to save people? Come on!"

Boom——

One hundred and eight white towers in the air split in the middle, revealing a passageway.

The outer layer of the great formation has been broken by Ning Qingman.

Now, Qilian Guanshi has taken the initiative to open the inner layer—

Please enter the urn!

Ning Qingman turned her head to look at the center of the formation and immediately saw the white prayer wheel in the very center.

Her Dao principle, [Sword Unraveling], is specifically designed to break all Dao principles in the world. Therefore, relying on the power of Dao principles, she saw through the clues of this [Reincarnation Millstone] at a glance.

Most importantly, she was finally certain that Li Fei was still alive!

She sensed that Li Fei was being suppressed below.

Li Fei's strength, sword energy, sword intent, sword realm, and even memories are being constantly eroded!

Every second she delayed in rescuing Li Fei meant a greater risk to him.

Qilian Guanshi deliberately opened the great formation to make her see Li Fei's situation clearly, thus forcing her to make a choice.

Didn't you want to save someone?
Do you dare to enter the city?

A cyan sword light descended from the sky without a moment's hesitation.

A sword immortal has entered the city!
