Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 223 concluded a good experience.
Xu Xiaoqing tearfully recounted her ordeal:
"As it turns out, Zhao Youyue was probably jealous that I was more feminine than her!"

"He glanced at me, paused for a moment, and then sent me off to do some support work that involved running around everywhere!"

"I originally intended to recruit Li Ziyou and use this merit to become a formal member of the Tianwu Group. I didn't intend to kill him."

"But you saw how he treated me! He didn't treat me like a human being! He had no respect for me at all, and even treated me like a toy to be shared with you!"

"That's when I decided to kill him! I never thought of doing this before!"

“I was worried he would harm you when we were on the ship, so I warned you about it.”

"I didn't run back to ask for credit; I came back to find you because I still had that thought in my mind—"

"Perhaps you like me and would like to be close to me."

"If the Heavenly Martial Corps still doesn't value me after we go back, I'll go to the Heavenly Alliance to help you whenever you need me. Wouldn't that be much better than staying in the Heavenly Martial Corps?"

Lin Xiufeng laughed when she heard this, and laughed very happily.

The laughter puzzled Xu Xiaoqing, yet it also made her increasingly uneasy.

Just as Xu Xiaoqing was about to say something more, Lin Xiufeng suddenly burst into laughter and said:
"I almost believed your excuse that you weren't inherently so malicious."

"But unfortunately!"

“From the duel between the Golden Saber and the Silver Sword to the Golden Saber being killed by you, Zhao Youyue and I both witnessed it.”

Xu Xiaoqing's expression changed drastically! That was her dark history, one that she absolutely could not let anyone know!
Lin Xiufeng laughed even harder and continued:

"So now you know why Zhao Youyue dislikes you less than others, right?"

"You should be glad that if Zhao Youyue had met you before the incident at Guwang Volcano, she would have exposed you and killed you herself."

"So, you venomous woman, Xu Xiaoqing, do you have any last words?"

Xu Xiaoqing then realized that she could never have fooled Lin Xiufeng from the very beginning...

Lin Xiufeng said all this just to see how a vicious woman's expression changed from smug to desperate.

Lin Xiufeng saw it, and Xu Xiaoqing was so shocked that she couldn't utter a sound.

"It seems there were no last words."

Lin Xiufeng was about to make a move—

That Xu Xiaoqing, she actually shouted in a hurry:

"You have the handle of a golden knife and silver sword, I would never dare to attack you!"

"I'm useful! I can help you deal with Zhao Youyue!"

“I have made a great contribution this time. No matter how much she dislikes me when I go back, she will have to promote me according to the Heavenly Martial Corps’ reward and punishment system and will definitely keep me in the Central City.”

"Having had this experience of meeting you, I'm sure I can find a way to get close to her and gain her trust."

"I can keep you informed if she makes any moves against you in the future!"

Lin Xiufeng listened, nodded, and suddenly smiled.

Xu Xiaoqing smiled happily, thinking that she had finally won over Lin Xiufeng.

At the same time, she felt something in the seawater piercing her body.

and--

It also pierced her Heavenly Martial Heart.

Lin Xiufeng stared at Xu Xiaoqing's astonished, then fearful face, and said irritably:

"You tipped me off?"

"Tell me, should I believe what you've said, or suspect it's a trap?"

"Li Ziyou is poisonous, but you are even more insidious!"

"Actually, if I had the strength back then, I would have jumped out and killed you right after you killed Jin Dao."

"Because you toy with people's feelings like that, it's really, really hateful!"

Xu Xiaoqing's hands kept grabbing and touching Lin Xiufei's body, tears streaming down her face, and she kept begging for mercy.

Lin Xiufeng ignored him, then suddenly remembered something and said:

"By the way! Actually, I was really afraid you'd just run away today." "I'm too lazy to chase you down on purpose; it would just cause more rumors and trouble."

"I'm really glad you're greedily turning back. Really, if you die here, it'll be much less trouble for me."

"But don't worry, I'll compose a hymn of praise for you."

"With a gentle touch, Xu Xiaoqing, knowing she was outmatched, still risked her life to save Li Ziyou in a dangerous moment."

"Everyone speaks of you with praise. But, well, this reputation actually has nothing to do with you now that you're dead."

"I didn't write this story for you, but rather to hope that there would be more beautiful stories and less dark and malicious ones."

Xu Xiaoqing finally knows what Li Ziyou felt before he died...

Xu Xiaoqing felt that she had been tormented by the feeling of waiting to die for a long time.

Because of her superior martial prowess, she died rather slowly.

But no matter how slow it was, it still died eventually.

When Lin Xiufeng encountered Xu Xiaoqing, this venomous woman, again, he wondered if he should punish evil and promote good.

Because of Li Ziyou and the Sea of ​​Death, Lin Xiufeng decided to be patient.

He guessed that there might be a story here.

As expected, Li Ziyou did not disappoint him.

Xu Xiaoqing did not disappoint him.

Death Movement Sea Area —

For Lin Xiufeng, it was truly a wonderful experience!

Lin Xiufeng sank into the sea, transforming into an Yinglong, biting the nine-headed Xiangliu, dragging it along, swimming towards the depths of the sea...

The twenty-odd Heavenly Warriors waiting on the water's surface saw the Sea of ​​Death move rapidly.

So they followed, and chased after each other.

Soon afterward, the black and red dead zone on the sea surface began to shrink.

It's like a giant mutated beast swimming into the deep sea.

The King of Freedom, however, has yet to be found.

Everyone says that the Free King, Xu Xiaoqing, and Zhenren who went down were probably killed by the unknown mutated behemoth.

More than twenty Heavenly Warriors dared not go in. After chasing them until they could no longer see the black and red death sea on the surface of the sea, they all dispersed.

However, before that, the Heavenly Martial Power spread from the deaths of Xiang Liu's nine snake heads had already been absorbed by them in considerable quantities.

Even Old Yan almost replenished the martial power he had lost during the exploration of the 20th Heaven.

However, they didn't know whether the spreading Heavenly Martial Power belonged to the mutated beasts or the Free King.

On the eighth day, as Lin Xiufeng dragged Xiang Liu across the sea, he suddenly saw the round and plump King of the Winnowing Fish in the night sky!

'Finally free!'

Lin Xiufeng roared at Yu Kong!
Yinglong's roar pierced through the rain and startled the King of Snails in mid-air.

Before Lin Xiufeng deactivated his transformation, he fed Yinglong some Xiangliu's flesh to replenish the Heavenly Martial Power he had consumed.

Lin Xiufeng, lying comfortably in the mouth of the King of Snakehead Fish, said:
"I'm really afraid that if I have to swim back like that, without the miniature robots, I won't be able to find my way at all!"

Where are we now?

With a carefree laugh, he said, "If you keep swimming, you'll probably reach Lonely King Volcano in about three months."

"...Are you this far off course? Then what are you doing here?" Lin Xiufeng suddenly asked.

"What are you thinking! You think I would come looking for you on purpose? How could that be! I was just wandering around and it just happened to be there!" The capricious man suddenly emphasized with intense emotion.

Lin Xiufeng was already used to her saying one thing and meaning another; judging from her reaction, she had clearly come to see him on purpose.

"If you hadn't come earlier, you could have gone down to the Sea of ​​Death to help."

Upon hearing this, Renxing became agitated and retorted angrily:
"How early is it? The Tianwei team went back, and I immediately headed south. By the time I got there, you had already finished fighting! I thought you were dead!"
