After being jilted by the saintess at the beginning, why is she crying?

The black dragon was in pain and struggled frantically!

"roar--!"

It let out a deafening roar, and the immobilization effect of the Taixiao Mirror on its body shattered in the midst of the violent struggle!

Lin Fengmian was startled.

Sure enough, it didn't last long.

The moment the black dragon broke free of its restraints, its blood-red vertical pupils were filled with rage and killing intent!

Ignoring its wounds, it opened its blood-red maw and bit down hard on Lin Fengmian!

A foul stench assaulted my senses, and those gleaming white teeth were right in front of me!

At the critical moment—

A beam of azure light suddenly shone in front of Lin Fengmian!

A Gu worm the size of a little finger flew out from his dantian and hovered in front of him!

The sword energy is magnificent!

The golden sword-shaped pattern on the back of the Gu worm was now emitting a dazzling blue light!

It opened its tiny mouthparts and let out a sharp, high-pitched cry—

The next moment!

The sword energy surrounding Lin Fengmian seemed to be summoned by something, and suddenly converged!

Hundreds of sword energies, guided by the magnificent sword energy gu, condensed into a massive torrent of sword energy, which poured fiercely into the blood-red maw of the black dragon!

"boom--!"

A torrent of sword energy poured into the black dragon's mouth and exploded from its body.

The massive body of the black dragon trembled violently, and a muffled whimper came from its throat!

Its eyes were wide open, and cracks appeared beneath its scales, from which a blinding sword light shone!

next moment--

"boom!"

The black dragon's body exploded with a bang!

Blood and flesh flew everywhere, scales and armor scattered!

Amidst a rain of blood, Lin Fengmian stood with his hands behind his back, his robes fluttering.

He turned his head and looked at Xiao Xiyue, who was staring in disbelief behind him, a slight smile playing on his lips.

Rumble—!

The hundreds of sword energies that had just struck the Ink Dragon were now being drawn together by an invisible hand under the guidance of the Sword Energy Gu, and exploded inside the Ink Dragon's body!

Those sword energies raged wildly within the black dragon's body, shredding its meridians, flesh, and bones from the inside out!

The black dragon was already dizzy and its scales were shattered by the Nine Yang Divine Seal's palm strike. Now, it was being ravaged by the torrent of sword energy erupting from its body, which made things even worse.

Its massive body trembled violently, a low whimper emanating from its throat, and its blood-red vertical pupils gradually lost their luster.

"boom--!"

With another muffled thud, the black dragon's body crashed to the ground like a mountain collapsing, kicking up clouds of dust.

The enormous body twitched a few times on the ground, then fell silent.

died.

Lin Fengmian stood still, withdrew his hand, looked at the huge corpse, and a strange feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.

He looked down at his hands.

The second-stage mid-level Ink Dragon, whose combat power was comparable to that of a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, was actually killed by him just like that?

Moreover, the whole process didn't seem as difficult as I had imagined.

With a single palm strike of the Nine Yang Divine Seal, the Tai Xiao Mirror immobilized the user, and the Myriad Swords Technique, combined with the magnificent sword energy, finished the job—

Clean and crisp, flowing smoothly.

Lin Fengmian stroked his chin, and a thought suddenly popped into his mind: Have I been too low-key usually?

What kind of people has he been in contact with all this time?

Chu Qingyi, the Holy Maiden of the Hehuan Sect, is in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage; Nangong Li, the eldest daughter of the Nangong family, is also in the mid-Foundation Establishment stage; later, she became a Core Formation expert like True Person Yunhe, and also a direct disciple like Xiao Xiyue.

Even the enemies they encountered were all mid-Foundation Establishment, late-Foundation Establishment, and even Golden Core True Persons with their talisman treasures.

Compared to these people, he, a mere Foundation Establishment cultivator in the early stages, always felt that his strength was somewhat inadequate.

But thinking about it carefully now—

He seemed to have always underestimated himself.

Although the Five Elemental Roots are generally considered useless, their total spiritual power is several times that of other roots of the same level.

The Pure Yang Body is a rare find, occurring only once every thousand years. Its Yang energy is so pure that it allows Xiao Xiyue's cultivation technique to operate automatically.

A second-tier body cultivator's physical body is comparable to the defensive power of a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In addition, there are the Taixiao Mirror Talisman, the Sword Qi Magnificent Gu, the Nine Yang Divine Seal, the Illusionary Nine Transformations, the Myriad Swords Technique...

With this combination, let alone a mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator, he might even be able to fight against a late-Foundation Establishment cultivator.

Thinking of this, Lin Fengmian couldn't help but smile.

I always thought I was a worm, but it turns out—

I am clearly a dragon!

Xiao Xiyue, standing to the side, remained rooted to the spot, her beautiful eyes filled with shock.

She witnessed the whole process firsthand.

From Lin Fengmian turning to meet the attack, to the Tai Xiao Mirror immobilizing him, to the Nine Yang Divine Seal bombarding him, and then to the simultaneous unleashing of ten thousand swords and the magnificent sword energy finishing the battle—

Every step was terrifyingly precise, and every move was astonishingly sharp.

She asked herself honestly, if she were facing this black dragon, let alone killing it, she would be lucky to even escape alive.

Lin Fengmian, a cultivator in the early stages of Foundation Establishment, actually accomplished this.

Looking at the figure in green robes standing with his hands behind his back, Xiao Xiyue suddenly felt a sensation she had never experienced before.

It was an indescribable emotion, like awe, like admiration, and mixed with something else that was hard to explain.

Women in the cultivation world, influenced by their surroundings from a young age, tend to admire strength to some extent.

They admire the strong, worship the strong, and yearn to walk alongside the strong.

Xiao Xiyue always thought she was the exception.

She cultivates the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, which is a path to sever the seven emotions and six desires. She is indifferent and aloof to everyone, never showing any emotion.

But at this moment, looking at that figure, the cold iceberg in her heart seemed to have cracked slightly.

Just then—

The Supreme Forgetfulness Technique within her body suddenly began to operate on its own!

Moreover, it operates several times faster than usual!

Spiritual energy surged through his meridians, and his cultivation technique circulated at high speed, causing the spiritual energy around his body to surge wildly!

Xiao Xiyue was startled and tried to suppress her emotions, but found that she couldn't.

The energy cultivation technique was circulating faster and more intensely, as if it were trying to break through some kind of constraint.

She closed her eyes, carefully sensing, and after a moment, she suddenly understood.

The key to cultivating the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique lies in "forgetting emotions".

But to "forget emotions," one must first have "emotions."

How can one sever the seven emotions and six desires without having experienced them?

Over the years, she has kept herself locked in a cold shell, not getting close to anyone, and not allowing herself to develop feelings for anyone.

She thought this was how she cultivated the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique.

In reality, she didn't even have "feelings," so how could she "forget"?

And now—

Lin Fengmian's appearance shattered all of this.

Those three days of unexpected events led to her first physical intimacy with a man.

The more she tried to forget those scenes, the clearer they became.

His face, his voice, the warmth of his palms...

These are all seeds of "love".

At this moment, Lin Fengmian's display of formidable combat power has allowed this seed to begin to sprout.

She had developed admiration for him, dependence on him, and feelings that were hard to define.

This was her love tribulation.

To break through the bottleneck of the Supreme Forgetfulness Technique, one must undergo tribulation.
