My Demonic Cult's Holy Maiden

Su Yue raised her hand and swung it, shattering the ice sword that Zhan Qiu had no blade on.

The other ice swords also seized the opportunity when Su Yue swung her sword and attacked her one after another.

Su Yue folded up the oil-paper umbrella, gripping the ribs; at that moment, the oil-paper umbrella transformed into a sword.

With a wave of the oil-paper umbrella, true energy burst forth, and a sword aura swept across, shattering all the incoming ice swords.

Su Yue closed her eyes, sensing Qi Yu's location, and then, amidst the wind and snow, detected Qi Yu's presence.

Locking onto her presence, Su Yue's figure vanished abruptly, reappearing in the snowstorm.

Before her stood a statue formed of solidified ice, identical to Qi Yu in both size and aura.

Su Yue paused slightly as she swung her sword, glancing behind her.

Sure enough, Qi Yu, holding the ice sword, had already slashed down.

The ice sword surged with true energy, its power no less than her previous sword moves. This sword strike seemed to tilt the Milky Way, shifting the stars and constellations, with a majestic and boundless aura suppressing heaven and earth.

Qi Yu is similar to Su Yue in one respect: Qi Yu also only practices one set of sword techniques.

The Azure Wave Sword Manual!

With each swing of his sword, Qi Yu could use sword techniques at will, without needing to accumulate sword momentum.

As long as Qi Yu's true energy does not run out, every sword strike he makes will be a forbidden technique with earth-shattering power.

Su Yue hurriedly returned the visit, but she only managed to block the sword in time. In such a short time, she was not able to completely dissipate the true energy and force.

Bang!

The frozen Qingxin Lake shattered from its center like a spider web, then spread outwards, with huge ice blocks bulging out one after another.

Ouyang Ruoxue, who was watching the battle from the shore, was also knocked back a step by the aftershocks.

Qi Yu is powerful because he knows a great many strange arts, and combining these arts is very complicated.

Furthermore, with the ability to "use a thousand things at once," Qi Yu can calculate every detail of the battlefield and use his special skills to launch surprise attacks.

But Ouyang Ruoxue hadn't expected that Qi Yu's swordsmanship was also so remarkable.

It is truly unbelievable and unimaginable that he could gain an advantage against Su Yue, who is famous throughout the world for his swordsmanship.

However, Qi Yu only gained some advantages; he had not yet defeated Su Yue.

Qi Yu knew this, so he instantly used the Quasi-Saint Domain, and a terrifying pressure enveloped the entire area.

Qi Yu raised his hand and then gripped Su Yue, who had been knocked away. A bolt of lightning as thick as an arm fell from the void and struck Su Yue, who was flying backward.

But this was only the first wave of attacks. Qi Yu's figure suddenly disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already in the path of Su Yue's backward flight, and the ice sword in his hand had accumulated enough sword energy.

Su Yue's clothes were charred, and her skin showed signs of carbonization.

Qi Yu didn't hold back, and Su Yue didn't want to hold back any longer. Her true energy surged, and the surrounding world began to lose its color, turning grayish-white.

Qi Yu was also stripped of his color, and everything around him seemed to freeze in time, remaining in one position.

This is Su Yue's domain. Before the existence of the Quasi-Saint, Su Yue had already come into contact with the domain.

This move can break through any domain, freezing the surrounding time and space.

Su Yue steadied herself, then turned around and lightly stepped on a snowflake in the air to gain her footing.

Su Yue walked calmly to Qi Yu and placed the Zhanqiu Sword on Qi Yu's shoulder.

Qi Yu, however, remained in the posture of gathering strength to swing his sword.

"You lost!" A strange light flashed in Su Yue's eyes.

She didn't want to win, but she had no choice but to.

Because this is what Qi Yu wants to see!

Just as Su Yue was immersed in strange emotions, a pair of hands reached under her armpits and hugged her from behind.

"My wife, you've lost!"

Qi Yu's voice rang in her ears. Su Yue was slightly stunned, her eyes filled with surprise. She looked back and forth between the colorless Qi Yu in front of her and the Qi Yu behind her.

Finally, Su Yue's gaze fell on the real person behind her, and she shook her head with a wry smile.

She lost because she was too confident in her field.

What's in front of her is just an afterimage; her domain freezes time and space, so it also freezes the afterimage.

"I lost!"

Su Yue readily admitted defeat, since it wasn't the first time she had done so.

Su Yue conceded defeat, but Qi Yu did not let go; on the contrary, he hugged her even tighter.

Su Yue sensed something, but then realized she couldn't move.

His gaze shifted slightly, and he noticed the green jade thumb ring on Qi Yu's finger.

Relic!

It also possesses a power similar to freezing time and space!

But why at this particular time?

Qi Yu released his grip, moved to Su Yue's side, cupped Su Yue's head in his hands, and then pressed his forehead against Su Yue's brow.

"My wife, I told you, I will protect you, even if it means rivers of blood, including my own!"

"Let me help you one last time!"

Chapter 142 The Truth

The battle between Qi Yu and Su Yue has come to an end; Su Yue has lost.

The battle was over, but the wind and snow around Qi Yu did not stop; on the contrary, they grew heavier and heavier.

Even with Ouyang Ruoxue releasing her domain perception, she still couldn't see clearly what was happening at Qingxin Lake.

However, Ouyang Ruoxue was certain of one thing: Qi Yu's aura was gradually weakening.

On the contrary, Su Yue's aura was strengthening.

Ouyang Ruoxue was eager to find out what was going on, but the surrounding wind and snow had turned into the sharpest blades, and she would definitely be attacked if she stepped into them.

The terrifying aura it contained clearly told Ouyang Ruoxue that getting close meant encountering an enemy!

……

In the wind and snow, Qi Yu cupped Su Yue's head in his hands and pressed his forehead against Su Yue's brow.

From Qi Yu's body, streams of golden and purple true energy flowed from between his eyebrows into Su Yue's body.

Su Yue stared wide-eyed at Qi Yu, who was standing right in front of her.

The cracks on Qi Yu's face were increasing, as if they might shatter at any moment.

She tried to stop him, but she couldn't move at all, because the jade ring in Qi Yu's hand was emitting light that suppressed her.

Qi Yu channeled his true energy into Su Yue. Qi Yu's true energy was very pure and refined, and he deliberately expelled any violence or hostility from it.

Qi Yu was transferring all his true energy to Su Yue; to put it bluntly, he was imparting his internal strength.

Su Yue's eyes were filled with unease, anxiety, and the most obvious worry.

This unrestricted transmission of true energy can transform even an ordinary person into a top-tier martial artist.

This kind of shortcut is rarely used because human nature is selfish.

Most importantly, this method requires practicing specific techniques to transfer all one's true energy to others.

Where did Qi Yu learn this skill from?

Su Yue's thoughts raced, but she could only watch as Qi Yu, who had injured himself, transferred his power to her.

A purple dragon shadow rose from Qi Yu's body, then swam from Qi Yu's brow to Su Yue's brow.

Qi Yu's true energy was very mixed, including righteousness, talent, azure true energy, and even killing intent.

But Qi Yu only passed on his talent and integrity to Su Yue!

It wasn't that Qi Yu was being secretive, but rather that Su Yue was better suited to these two types of true energy.

Qi Yu's inner energy was depleted, the lake that had been suspended in his heart had disappeared, and the iceberg that had been there had also vanished.

Qi Yu's aura had plummeted to rock bottom, even weaker than that of an ordinary person.

His mind was shut down, his heartbeat was getting slower and slower, and his breath was becoming increasingly weak.

Qi Yu staggered, his hands slipped, and he fell onto Su Yue.

The instant Qi Yu's true energy completely disappeared, Su Yue was already able to move. She immediately hugged Qi Yu, preventing him from slipping down. Tears welled up in her eyes, and she bit her red lips tightly to keep herself from crying.

Qi Yu's body was already cold, but now it was like a corpse.

The Corpse God also separated from Qi Yu's shadow, and its aura was somewhat weak. It had tried its best, but now even it could not repair Qi Yu's body.

It's only possible if Qi Yu agrees to merge with him!

After a while, Qi Yu finally broke free from Su Yue's embrace, his eyes filled with an intense deathly aura.

"My wife, this is the last thing I can do for you!" Qi Yu said weakly and feebly.

His current situation is not optimistic.

Su Yue gritted her teeth, tears streaming down her face.

"Husband, I'll take you back!" Su Yue sobbed.

Qi Yu raised his cracked hand and wiped away Su Yue's tears, saying softly, "Actually, I don't care whether I can go back or not! As long as you're here, I feel at ease wherever I am."

Whether Qi Yu goes back or not doesn't really matter. His body over there has probably already been cremated and turned into ashes.

Even if the body wasn't cremated, the cancer would still be there, and the person would still die!

Su Yue wiped away her tears, sobbed, and calmed herself down. She gently stroked Qi Yu's cheek and forced a smile.

"My love, I will take you back. Take good care of yourself over there and wait for me! I will come to find you after I have settled things here!"
