Take the Vampire Empress with you when the game launches!

So he simply avoided answering. Qin Yu spoke to the woman in a tone that wouldn't provoke her. Hua Ying was his senior in his previous life, but if she insisted on being his enemy and harming Yin Feixue, he would definitely eliminate her at all costs.

"What is it?" Hua Ying appeared in front of Qin Yu in a flash. Luna didn't even have time to react before she saw Hua Ying reach out and lift Qin Yu's chin.

"Of course it's for you~" Hua Ying smiled slightly, "I can see that you're suppressing your anger right now, and you're worried about that vampire girl, right?"

Qin Yu wasn't surprised that his thoughts had been seen through. "Senior is right."

"Then I'll give you a chance. If you can beat me in a swordsmanship contest, I'll release that vampire girl."

Hua Ying adopted the most direct method to verify Qin Yu's swordsmanship. During their exchange, she would be able to determine how much of the Black Night Sword Saint's strength Qin Yu had inherited.

Make your choice: accept or reject.

There is no reward after making a choice in this task; the reward will be issued after the task is completed.

At this moment, the decision system also prompted Qin Yu to make a choice.

"No problem."

Qin Yu readily agreed. What else was there to say? Besides, it was just a swordsmanship contest, and he wasn't afraid of the Flower Shadow Sword Saint.

[Selection successful. Defeat the Flower Shadow Sword Saint in the swordsmanship competition!]

Qin Yu's answer surprised Hua Ying. This guy really had confidence in himself. After all, she was one of the Four Great Sword Saints.

This guy was so calm when he first met me. Did he think he could beat me in swordsmanship?

“I will use power equal to yours, and if I do not, then I have lost…” Huaying said, then she looked at Luna, “I’ll trouble your puppet to be the witness.”

"Okay, Luna, I'm counting on you."

Luna nodded. She wanted to say something, but Qin Yu couldn't possibly harm an eighth-tier sword saint. It should be fine to just test his swordsmanship, right?

Qin Yu held the Blood Thorn in his hand, while Hua Ying on the other side slowly drew her sword. The two stood silently.

Luna stared at the two of them, wondering when they would make their move.

Suddenly, a gust of wind blew by, carrying flower petals, and a sharp edge flashed, followed by a clang.

The two swords clashed, and Luna didn't even know when Hua Ying had arrived and was exchanging swords with Qin Yu.

Although her power was suppressed to the same level, Hua Ying's speed did not decrease as a result.

However, to her even greater surprise, Qin Yu reacted and blocked her attack.

"very nice."

Hua Ying thought Qin Yu was a promising talent. What she didn't know was that Qin Yu had inherited the mantle of the Black Night Sword Saint in his previous life and received the title of Extreme Night. His most representative style was his defensive counterattack, which was the opposite of the Black Night Sword Saint's style.

Qin Yu's parry is the epitome of his defensive counter-attacking style: immovable as a mountain, using stillness to control movement.

"Senior, please forgive me." Qin Yu exerted his strength to dispel the flower shadow, and the blood thorns in his hand began to grow, cutting off the water.

Hua Ying's reaction speed was extremely fast. The swords clashed repeatedly, and Luna was a little stunned. She couldn't quite understand why Qin Yu was able to block Hua Ying's storm-like attacks even though he was at a speed disadvantage.

Qin Yu's sword was slower than Hua Ying's, but he swung his sword at the most crucial moments to block Hua Ying's attacks.

"Truly, the younger generation is formidable..." Hua Ying hadn't expected that Qin Yu not only inherited the sword techniques of the Black Night Sword Saint, but also developed his own sword style. His swordsmanship level had reached the level of a grandmaster, and it wouldn't be unreasonable to even be named a sword saint.

"Then I'll get a little serious..."

Hua Ying's sword flashed, scattering petals around her. Qin Yu quickly jumped back to avoid the area covered by the petals.

He had fought against the Flower Shadow Sword Saint in his previous life and knew this move.

Hua Ying found Qin Yu's response somewhat strange. Before, she had only guessed, but now she was starting to wonder if Qin Yu knew all of her sword techniques.

But since things had come to this, she still had to unleash her sword skills, with petals fluttering around her, forming a flower sword that she aimed at Qin Yu.

With a flick of his sword, Hua Ying locked onto Qin Yu. Qin Yu gripped the Blood Thorn with both hands, clearing his mind to face the seemingly unbreakable sword head-on.

Using Shadow Step would be a waste of attempts. Even if this flower sword disappears on its own, it will seal off the space. It looks like just a flying sword, but it is a very tricky sword move.

The foil flashes are incredibly fast, impossible for an ordinary person to track, and its ability to disperse and then reassemble makes it very difficult to defend against. Luna was somewhat worried that Qin Yu wouldn't be able to block it.

Stop! The sword shadow is about to arrive. Qin Yu swings his sword.

Ding!

Qin Yu passed through the flower sword, which scattered into petals and fell to the ground. His hands began to tremble again. Although Hua Ying had suppressed her power, the power of this move was still not to be underestimated.

The fact that his moves were countered left Hua Ying in disbelief. This was too outrageous. This was the first time she had ever seen him do it. His sword moves were perfectly countered. This was a huge blow to her, one of the Four Great Sword Saints.

"It seems I'm going to lose..." Hua Ying said somewhat unwillingly.

Qin Yu breathed a sigh of relief. After blocking Hua Ying's sword move, he was unable to keep up with the power for a while. If he continued to fight, he might not be able to gain the upper hand. Taking the initiative to concede gave him a chance.

However, Hua Ying's surrender did not mean she would let Qin Yu go; she suddenly unleashed a powerful aura.

"Human, watch out!" Luna rushed up to protect Qin Yu. Qin Yu didn't expect Hua Ying to be so petty. Her eighth-order sword energy slashed directly at the two of them.

If Luna were to take the direct hit, she would likely suffer severe injuries. Immediately afterward, a dark shadow flashed across the sky.

boom!

The violent shockwave reached Qin Yu and Luna. Luna clung to Qin Yu, her arms wrapped around him tightly. This time, she had risked her life to protect her master, and Qin Yu was truly moved.

He then looked to the other side, where the black sword was...

"master?"

The black sword flickered on the ground like black flames, and a figure suddenly appeared, blocking Qin Yu and Hua Ying.

"Darkness, have you finally appeared?"

Hua Ying never expected that the Black Night Sword Saint would show up now.

"Darkness!" Before anyone could react, another voice rang out, followed by a thunderous crash as they landed not far away.

Ye Huai strode menacingly toward the darkness, sword in hand...

Chapter 61 Disciple from a Previous Life

The most dreamlike moment arrived: apart from the Flame-Bearing Sword Saint who was busy passing on the flame, three of the Four Great Sword Saints appeared here at the same time, leaving Qin Yu speechless.

"Servant, did you save me?"

Yin Feixue, who had just been dragged into the sea of ​​blood-red flowers, has escaped.

"Yes, Xiaoxue, but the situation isn't very good right now..."

If three sword saints were to fight here, my territory would probably have to be rebuilt.

Congratulations on completing the task!

[Reward: Beginner Sword Domain!]

The system granted Qin Yu a new skill, Sword Domain, which would increase his strength by 5% when he used a sword.

This is an amazing skill. In sword fights between opponents of the same level, Qin Yu will almost always have the upper hand. Against even stronger opponents, as long as they are no more than three levels higher, he can easily put up a fight.

"But these things aren't really of any use right now."

There were three sword saints present, but Qin Yu's current strength was no match for them; his attacks posed no threat to them whatsoever.

"Servant of a servant, how long are you going to keep hugging your master?"

Yin Feixue's gaze was fixed on Luna, who was clinging tightly to Qin Yu. This time, Luna had truly fulfilled her duty to protect her master.

"I want you to take care of it!"

Luna, her face flushed with resentment, released Qin Yu. She believed it was a restriction placed within her body that forced her to protect Qin Yu in times of danger.

In reality, Qin Yu had already removed the restrictions on her body, and only used them to restrain Luna.

On the other side, the three sword saints stood in a three-way standoff, not paying any attention to Qin Yu and the others, but instead focusing intently on the other two sword saints, their hands on their sword hilts.

"Isn't this Immortal Emperor Ye Huai? What? You're here to find Hei Ye too?"

Hua Ying, being of the opposite sex, spoke first.

"Huaying, I never expected you to be so ruthless towards a rising star whose strength is inferior to yours. Truly, the heart of a woman is the most poisonous..."

Ye Huai didn't think much of Hua Ying; this woman looked beautiful, but her methods were truly dangerous.

"I did this to draw out the darkness..."

Hua Ying then steered the conversation to the night, because Ye Huai's target was also the night.

Ye Huai stopped wasting words with Hua Ying and focused his gaze on Hei Ye. Dressed in black with short, flowing black hair, Hei Ye remained silent, which was his preferred style—quiet and reserved.

"Are you finished talking?"

The darkness spoke slowly, its voice as young and delicate as its appearance.

"Darkness, I challenge you once more! Life or death, it's either you live or I die!"

Ye Huai came here with the determination to win; if he lost, he would rather die.

"Why are you so eager to die at such a young age? You have a long future ahead of you..."

The words spoken by the Night were intended to prevent the young swordsman from dying, but he forgot that he himself was also a very young swordsman.

"Further words are pointless!"

Clang! Ye Huai's sword was drawn, its sharpness flashing and its sword energy overflowing. Ye Huai's swordsmanship was most famous for its sword energy.

The surrounding area was completely enveloped by his sword energy domain, and Qin Yu and the others were unable to avoid it.

"This will only hurt innocent people."

Hei Ye said calmly, then threw Hei Tian to Qin Yu and the others. Hei Tian immediately formed a domain to protect the three of them.

"Dark Night, what do you mean by this!" Ye Huai's eyes flashed with anger, while Hua Ying was also somewhat puzzled. To actually throw away her sword and fight like this...

"Just to protect unrelated people..." Power continued to gather in the darkness's hand, straight...

Then, a sword of energy appeared out of thin air.

"By gathering his energy into a blade, even without using the Black Sky technique, Master could defeat those two..."

Qin Yu knew Hei Ye's strength better than anyone else. To include him among the Four Great Sword Saints was an insult. His master should be listed as a Sword God on his own; the ability to split the heavens with a single sword strike was no joke.

Ye Huai couldn't accept Hei Ye's actions. In his view, it was a complete disrespect to him. So, he angrily brandished his sword, trying to force Hei Ye to use his true strength.
