Mortal: Fifteenth Realm Sword Cultivator

While the two were talking, the young man clearly had the Azure Fire Thunder in his hand, his face contorted in a ferocious expression, yet he held it firmly without making a sound.

At this moment, the woman in green seemed to realize something and suddenly became aware of it.

In front of the man, she directly said to the woman in pink, "Senior sister, he's just bluffing. The power of this Azure Fire Lightning is comparable to a Nascent Soul cultivator's strike. At such close range, if he detonates it, how could he possibly escape unscathed? He would surely be reduced to ashes. He wouldn't dare!"

Upon hearing her analysis, the woman in pink was slightly taken aback, but then she realized what she meant.

The young man opposite him froze instantly, his feigned ferocity turning into a more vicious and resentful expression, as if his true nature had been completely exposed.

"you!"

He made a hoarse sound in his throat, and his eyes almost spit fire.

That was exactly what he was planning. As long as the other party was frightened and turned to run away, he would immediately unleash this Azure Fire Thunder.

With one at the Foundation Establishment stage and the other at the Qi Refining stage, there was no way to escape the raging lightning within a hundred feet radius.

Unexpectedly, this woman named Yuan Yao saw right through him.

"Great, excellent!"

The young man gritted his teeth, his voice hoarse like a broken gong.

A hint of madness flashed in his eyes, and the blue fire thunder in his hand emitted a faint crackling sound, as if it would explode at any moment.

As the young master of Qingyang Sect, what does it matter if a hundred more women are buried with him?

Their lives are as worthless as paper; no matter how many die, they cannot compare to yours!

Having just taken a pill that could instantly suppress the injuries and keep him alive, he now only needs time to recover.

If this stalemate continues, I'm afraid I'll truly be doomed today...

No.

The young man took a deep breath, trying to calm his expression and forcing a sincere one. He said, "You two can leave now, and I'll pretend this never happened. I swear in the name of the Qingyang Sect that I will never pursue or kill you afterwards. Go on, you two ladies are so beautiful, I'm sure you don't want to stay here and die with me, right? Let's go our separate ways, so we don't have to perish together."

Yuan Yao's naturally alluring peach blossom eyes narrowed unconsciously, as if she was carefully weighing the truthfulness of the other party's words.

Her red lips parted slightly, and her voice was soft and sweet, making one's heart flutter.

"Young Master, are you serious? You really intend to let us sisters leave and never pursue the matter?"

"Of course it's true!"

The young man spoke urgently.

"My word is my bond. You may leave at once."

Yanli's expression changed drastically. She hurriedly grabbed her junior sister's sleeve, her voice trembling, "Junior sister, have you forgotten how this person deceived me? He called me a concubine, but in reality, he used me as a furnace. Such a person is the most treacherous and vicious; you can't believe a single word he says!"

Yuan Yao hesitated for a moment. "The other party is of noble status, so what they say... should be taken seriously, right? Qingyang Sect is a well-known and prestigious sect in the Chaotic Star Sea, so they should have some face to maintain."

Hearing her seemingly wavering words, the young man was overjoyed and hurriedly continued the conversation, his voice filled with urgent reassurance.

"Yes, yes, yes! My lady, please understand! Our Qingyang Sect is a reputable sect in both the righteous and demonic paths, and we value our reputation above all else! Today's matter is purely a huge misunderstanding. I acted rashly in a moment of panic and neglected you, but I had absolutely no intention of harming you!"

As he spoke, he tried to maintain a smile on his face, attempting to use the pretense of the Qingyang Sect to lull the other party into a false sense of security. In his heart, however, he maliciously plotted that as long as his injuries eased slightly or he found an opening, he would definitely unleash the Azure Fire Thunder to blast these two lowly maids to pieces.

He couldn't figure out where he had slipped up or made a mistake.

A change occurred on Kui Xing Island, and he was ordered by his father, the Three Yang Old Demon, to go and investigate the reaction of the Star Palace.

He happened to meet this beautiful woman who was fleeing from disaster. Seeing that she was quite beautiful, he had a thought and wanted to take her as his concubine.

This was a tactic he was very familiar with.

During their conversation, Yanli revealed her desire to find a sect or power to attach herself to and become a concubine, which was exactly what he wanted!

What's even more interesting is that during the conversation, I learned that she actually had a junior sister.

He suppressed his urge to immediately replenish his energy and patiently lingered around Kui Xing Island, eventually finding the woman named Yuan Yao.

This woman was even more beautiful, especially her naturally alluring peach blossom eyes, which captivated him and made him unable to resist. He immediately decided to take both of them as concubines.

On the way back to Qingyang Gate.

To avoid any unforeseen complications, and to enjoy the pleasure of having "one dragon and two phoenixes" all to himself, he deliberately dismissed his attendants.

Confident in his perfected Foundation Establishment cultivation, he could easily manipulate two Qi Refining stage female cultivators.

To his utter surprise, just when he was feeling triumphant and thought good things were about to happen, the other party had somehow poisoned his drink!

That's what they say on the surface.

Yuan Yao, however, had already secretly used a telepathic technique to say to her senior sister Yan Li, "I know this person will definitely retaliate afterward, so we can't believe a single word he says. But right now, he's wielding a powerful weapon like the Azure Fire Thunder. If we act rashly, we'll likely die together. If we continue this stalemate, he's clearly more anxious than we are. Let's see if we can find an opening and catch him off guard, killing him before he can activate the Azure Fire Thunder. As for being buried with him? Bah, that dog doesn't deserve that!"

Yanli replied urgently via telepathy, "Doing this is still too dangerous. Junior sister, you go first. I'll stay here and hold him off. This is all my fault... all my fault for misjudging people and falling into this villain's trap, almost causing you to suffer at his hands... Listen to me, do whatever I tell you to do, don't hesitate, don't gamble! It's a bonus if either of us survives! Master is gone, and I can't bear to see you get hurt. Junior sister, you have good aptitude, live well for my sake, and if... if you really reach the stage of Core Formation or Nascent Soul Formation, don't forget your senior sister..."

As she listened, Yuan Yao's ominous premonition grew stronger; her senior sister's words were filled with the meaning of farewell.

"don't want!"

She gasped inwardly, but it was too late to stop it.

The moment Yanli finished speaking, a resolute glint flashed in her eyes.

He took out several blazing fire talismans from his storage bag.

"You wretch, how dare you!"

Seeing this, the young master of Qingyang Sect was shocked and furious. He did not expect this woman to be so fierce and dare to act without regard for her own life.

He wanted to activate the Azure Fire Thunder.

But deep down, I was terrified.

At the same time, Yanli quickly formed a hand seal with her other hand, and a "Wind Spirit Technique" suddenly took shape.

He swept up Yuan Yao's lithe body and tossed her backward a hundred meters like a falling leaf.

The whole process happened in the blink of an eye, with an unwavering determination.

Yuan Yao gasped in surprise, her body tumbling uncontrollably in the air, her blue robes fluttering, revealing everything that should and shouldn't be revealed.

She managed to steady herself and land, staggering a few steps before finally standing still, her chest heaving violently.

Looking at Yanli, who was facing the young master of Qingyang Sect alone, Yuan Yao felt an overwhelming sense of sorrow.

Senior sister was so resolute; she was willing to risk her own life to gamble on the villain's cowardly nature.

Yanli had calculated that the other party was of noble status and extremely afraid of death. Even though he possessed the Azure Fire Thunder, he would never dare to detonate it lightly unless absolutely necessary and he knew he was going to die.

The senior sister chose to stay, intending to use her presence as a deterrent and bargaining chip, betting that the other side wouldn't dare to easily resort to such tactics and perish together.

Lu Jianghe and Zhuang Huayi could see it clearly.

She couldn't help but turn her head slightly and glance at Lu Jianghe beside her.

The look in his eyes seemed to say, "Aren't you ready to make a move?"

Or... even if you don't move, I can still make a move.

This situation is self-evident and requires no further deduction of cause and effect.

It was clearly two outnumbered women who were being coerced and were fighting back, now facing a life-or-death situation.

Look at those two women. The one in green is naturally alluring and has an exceptionally beautiful appearance, while the one in pink is also quite remarkable.

Such a scene would be so astonishing that even some Nascent Soul stage monsters would find it hard to contain their amazement and would likely have to intervene.

However, Mr. Lu, who was standing beside her, simply stood with his hands behind his back, showing no intention of intervening.

If I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, even the Six Paths Supreme Saints would have fled in panic under his sword.

I thought he was wary of the Qingyang Sect.

After all, this sect is one of the top sects among the demonic forces in the Chaotic Star Sea. It is said that the sect leader, the Three Yang Old Demon, had already reached the mid-Nascent Soul stage two hundred years ago.

However, since her current status is no different from that of a maid, it is naturally not her place to say anything more.

Lu Jianghe was already used to all these fights, killings, grudges, and affections, and his heart remained calm.

In matters like this, who can definitively say who is right and who is wrong?

With a sweep of his divine sense, he took in the entire nameless island.

This place consists of three or four small islets barely connected together, desolate and uninhabited, with a pitifully thin spiritual atmosphere.

And that reclining carriage.

It's strange that two men and one woman would appear in a place like this.

What good could possibly come of it?

He never readily believes what he sees or hears.

The rights and wrongs of the world are often blurred and unclear, and it is difficult to judge them based on just a few words.

Besides, Lu Jianghe isn't that old Taoist priest Sun Huaizhong.

He has no redeeming qualities, except that he hates evil and can't tolerate even the slightest injustice.

I only glanced at it once and then stopped paying attention.

His divine sense enveloped the surrounding sea area, and the various types of demonic beasts, the distribution of fish and shrimp, and even the seabed topography were all similar to those around the Inner Sea Star Island.

It seems to be not far from some alien island.

Lu Jianghe tilted his head slightly, "Go if you want to."

He was genuinely too lazy to care and had no intention of getting involved in such trivial matters.

However, upon hearing the words "Qingyang Gate," a slight thought stirred within him.

Two women in the distance.

It felt vaguely familiar.

Oh, I remember now.

Yuan Yao.

The reason I still remember it is because it was within the original timeline.

Han Li, that brat, didn't hesitate to use the last chance to travel through time with the Heavenly Bottle to reverse the universe, and under the magnificent celestial tribulation of ascending to the Immortal Realm, he forcefully pulled Yuan Yao back from the brink of annihilation.

He couldn't save Mo Caihuan from death, nor could he save Chen Qiaoqian from her tragic demise, and he didn't stop Mu Peiling from dying from her inner demons.

Only towards Yuan Yao, bearing the immense karmic consequences of reversing time, did he choose to save her.

Now it seems...

Lu Jianghe could understand some of the reasons behind this.

(P.S.: Sun Huaizhong, the undisputed fifth person in Qingming Tianxia, ​​is a Daoist master and "Yitian Wanli must have a long sword.")
