The female disciples who had bad intentions towards me started fighting among themselves

"Heads up, I'll save you, tails down, I'll leave."

As Mu Yunning's eyes were about to close, Jing Yan spoke slowly, not knowing whether he was speaking to her or to himself.

He threw the jade pendant upwards, and it swayed in the air for a few circles before finally sinking deep into the snow.

There are no textures on it.

It's the front.

The young man raised his lips slightly and slowly drew out his sword.

The sword is sharp and shines with cold light.

He slowly raised the sword in his hand, aimed it at the center of his sword, and stabbed it without hesitation.

......

......

Mu Yunning remembered, she remembered everything.

The reason why he was still alive without a sword heart and the reason why he could stand here now was only because he had half of Jingyan's sword heart in his body.

The sword heart split into two, beating violently in the chests of both of them, sustaining their lives.

No wonder he always lacks energy and even gets hurt when hunting ferocious beasts...

So what was his intention before he decided to cover her?

With only half of his swordsmanship left?

Mu Yunning stood there in a daze for a long time. After a while, she took out the small wooden box that Jing Yan left for her and took out the jade pendant inside.

Her fingers gently rubbed the surface, her expression complicated.

She looked at the jade pendant.

The front is empty, there is nothing.

Mu Yunning turned the jade pendant over.

It was also empty, with nothing in it.

In other words, on that snowy night, no matter how the jade pendant turned, Jing Yan would do so and split his sword heart into two on that cold snowy night.

The reason he did that was simply to overcome the hurdle in his heart.

It turns out that I am the one who owes the most...

I am now able to receive the inheritance here, but Jing Yan is in a coma...

Mu Yunning suddenly felt extremely sad. No wonder her heart always twitched inexplicably when she was questioning her heart. It turned out that Jing Yan was reminding her not to get too caught up in the illusion.

She was about to cry, but she didn't. Mu Yunning wiped her eyes and stood firmly.

Now she has to be strong because she has no one to rely on. On the contrary, she has to become someone else's support.

At this moment, just like that snowy night, they were also being hunted by the Qingming Sword and were in a life-and-death crisis.

Last time, she relied on the scriptures.

And this time, she wants to protect Jingyan!

Then, Mu Yunning picked up Jingyan's sword and put it into her scabbard. As if she had regained her former goddess demeanor, she asked stubbornly and firmly:

"What should I do?"

"Hahaha, good!"

The sword-wielding man smiled brightly, and his eyes turned more and more appreciative as he looked at Mu Yunning.

"If you want to obtain my inheritance, it's very simple. You just need to obtain a complete sword heart!"

He tested Mu Yunning, pointed at the unconscious Jing Yan, and said slowly:

“And now, it’s right at your fingertips.”

Sixty-four. Come here to slay the devil!

The sword bearer's meaning is simple.

Cultivating immortals is a long and arduous process. If you want to reach the top, the word "competition" is indispensable.

Fight for opportunities, fight for treasures, fight for elixirs, fight for many, many things.

This also includes Kenshin.

"Why do you look so bad? Is this embarrassing for you?"

The sword-wielding man raised his lips slightly: "The opportunity is right in front of you. All I need is for you to dig out half of his sword heart and complete yourself. As for who the sword heart originally belonged to, I don't care. I never did that before, and I won't do that in the future."

Mu Yunning bit her lip and stared at the sword-wielding man with increasingly cold eyes. Even though she had no skills at all and there was a huge gap in strength between her and the other party, she could not allow him to insult her like that.

Yes, it was an insult in her eyes.

How could she do something like that.

"You look at me like that, it's really funny." The sword-wielder smiled and said, "A sword-wielder should be free of lust. Didn't your elders teach you that when you first started practicing sword?"

"another."

Mu Yunning said coldly, looking at the sword-wielder with eyes as if she were falling into an icy cave. She raised her lips slightly and repeated, "Please change one."

"Change it? Who do you think you are negotiating with?"

The man holding the sword spread his hands, stepped on the tall boulder, and looked down at Mu Yunning.

"But it's not impossible for me to change the conditions. The conditions are also very simple."

He picked up a broken sword on the ground and said calmly: "Defeat me with a sword!"

Mu Yunning said nothing. She gripped the hilt of the sword tightly and focused her attention on the sword-wielding man in front of her.

Although he is just a spirit now, the moment he holds the sword, an incomparable pressure surges up like a god descending from the sky.

It was a sword power that was unimaginable to her. Even her master who was in the Mahayana stage at his prime could not have even one tenth of this pressure.

"Have you thought it through? You will die if you fight me, with your current body full of holes."

The man holding the sword did not forget to kindly remind Mu Yunning.

"Think about it."

Mu Yunning drew out his sword, pointed it at the cultivator who looked like a god or devil in front of him, and said seriously:

"I want to challenge you."

"Hahaha......"

The man with the sword suddenly burst into laughter. He dropped the broken sword in his hand, jumped off the boulder, and stood in front of Mu Yunning.

Mu Yunning took two steps back vigilantly.

"Okay, very good." He patted Mu Yunning's shoulder and said sincerely, "Don't be nervous, I'm just joking with you."

"You chose well."

"My generation of swordsmen should be like you, with a heavy sword without an edge and blue steel that never breaks."

The sword-wielding man looked at Mu Yunning with increasing satisfaction.

"You are a natural sword wielder."

Mu Yunning was stunned for a long time before she reacted. She asked in a bewildered manner, "Senior, are you testing me?"

"Of course. If I hand over my inheritance to a person of bad character, wouldn't it be a loss of my reputation as a sword bearer?"

The sword bearer nodded.

"You have passed the test of conscience, and I approve of your swordsmanship. You have also just passed my test, and I approve of your character."

"Now, there is one last level to test your strength."

The sword-wielding man looked at Mu Yunning with a half-smile: "How do you think we should test it?"

"I do not know."

Mu Yunning shook her head. She really didn’t know how to test her strength. After all, she was just an ordinary person who had difficulty swinging a sword.

"Since you were forced into the secret realm, let Qingming test your strength."

The sword-wielder asked with a smile, "What level of strength do you think you have to be able to kill Qing Ming?"

"What realm?"

Mu Yunning carefully recalled the scenes of her past fights with Qingming, and resolved each of his sword moves. Finally, she slowly spoke.

"The initial stage of refining emptiness is enough."

Nascent Soul, Transformation of Spirit, Refining Void, Harmony with the Tao, Mahayana.

Each level of cultivation is like a fall from the sky.

The Qingming Divine Sword has the power of the late Hedao stage. Mu Yunning was only in the late Yuanying stage before and could not stand under its attack at all.

But Mu Yunning was very sure that as long as she was given the realm of Lianxu, she would be able to cut down Qingming with the sword in her hand!

"Early stage of Void Refining?"

The sword holder was surprised: "Are you sure? I know Qingming's strength very well. Although there is only one realm difference between Lianxu and Hedao, the difference in combat power is not a little bit."

"I thought you needed an early stage of He Dao... Are you really so confident that you can defeat Qing Ming? I won't suddenly come to your rescue during the battle."

"Ah."

Mu Yunning nodded: "I'm sure."

"Okay, okay, you have courage."

The sword-wielder laughed heartily, and a faint white light bloomed from the spirit's body.

As his laughter died down, Mu Yunning felt that her cultivation was growing rapidly.

From an ordinary person with no spiritual energy at the beginning, to body refining, foundation building, elixir formation, golden elixir... and then to the late Nascent Soul stage when her sword heart was not damaged!

However, this is not the end yet. From Nascent Soul to Spiritualization, from Spiritualization to Refining Void, it was not until the early stage of Refining Void that the growth of cultivation gradually slowed down.

A huge amount of spiritual energy poured into Mu Yunning's dantian, and her cultivation level leapt seven levels in an instant!

“This is the power I lend you.”

The man holding the sword said to Mu Yunning.

"Let me see your strength and whether you are qualified to inherit my title of Sword Bearer!"

"Now, go and cut down Qing Ming!"

......

......

"Squeak, squeak."

As the moonlight shone down, the Qingming Sword put a broken sword into its mouth and chewed it hard.

It just stayed outside the secret realm, waiting for Mu Yunning to show up.

That was the body that it valued so much. Only that body could fully drive the pure sword heart in its body, so it took this matter very seriously.

After swallowing the broken piece of iron in one gulp, the Qingming Sword stood up and stared into the distance.

A familiar smell.

The Qingming Divine Sword's originally furrowed brows relaxed. It thought it would have to wait for ten days or half a month, but it did not expect that Mu Yunning was driven out of the secret realm in just half a day.

It leaped up and chased in the direction of Mu Yunning, chasing the body it had been thinking about all the time.

But in just a few moments, it realized something was wrong.

Because Mu Yunning's figure did not escape from it, but instead approached it at an extremely fast speed.

She was coming towards him!

Things that don’t know whether to live or die!
