But suddenly he stopped.

Cheng Shiyu quietly pulled his sleeve - tightly, and the joints of her soft and delicate white fingertips stood out from the force.

Li Re looked back.

I also happened to hear the girl making a suppressed sound.

She whispered, "Don't think about it!"

"I will return to Tianshan—"

"But we won't choose any of the options you gave us!"

"I will come up with an option that is more suitable for me and move forward!"

That's what she said.

But when he said this, he was not looking at the 'Gu Jian' opposite him - but Li Re.

Chapter 223: The Little Sword Immortal's Determination, Can You Help Me?

Soon, night fell again in the north, and the dark sky without stars or moon enveloped the entire world, as if it was an abyss hanging upside down in the sky. After it was shattered, only the sandy surface of the border town was left. Leaning against the mottled wall, a cluster of bonfires flickered like fireflies, emitting the only light in the dark night.

The wind howled and was cold at night. The temperature in the north often dropped sharply after nightfall.

Li Re, who was sitting in front of the campfire, shook himself.

He glanced at the girl opposite again - the reflected firelight covered that pretty face with a faint red glow, and her delicate eyebrows were slightly lowered between the neatly trimmed hair. Cheng Shiyu hugged her knees with her face half sunken on her arms, her expression was slightly depressed and she seemed to be lost in deep thought.

Li Re thought of her response to the 'Master Gu Jian' just now, and thought that such a stubborn answer seemed very tough, but it still looked somewhat entangled, otherwise she would not have returned to the surface after saying that - even if the excuse was to reorganize and rest first, in Li Re's opinion, this was also a sign that Cheng Shiyu was not mentally prepared.

Then he suddenly said, "I see."

See it?

The little sword fairy, who seemed to be awakened by Li Re's words, slightly raised her eyes and glanced at Li Re in front of her, then followed his gaze down... She suddenly lowered her knees to cover her thighs with the hem of her clothes, puffed up her cheeks but still couldn't help blushing!

Li Re still had a nonchalant expression on his face: "So, are you really planning to go back to Tianshan?"

Cheng Shiyu was stunned when she heard this, then nodded.

She whispered, "There's no need to hesitate—I was planning to go back to the mountain anyway."

"And you weren't really scared by what Master Gu Jian said, were you? That guy was like this when I first entered the sect - facing disciples like us, he always used all kinds of words to intimidate us. He didn't even think about it. Even he could use various means to get rid of the control of the barbarians, so how could my master be worse than him!?"

The little sword fairy spoke to herself with an inexplicable smile on her face, as if she was still the carefree girl.

Li Re nodded in agreement.

"The Dean of Studies is like this—"

"But he probably didn't threaten you this time. You should have heard that... Don't pretend to be indifferent in front of me, Chief Cheng."

"This is not the behavior of a 'Sword Master'!"

The expression on Cheng Shiyu's face froze slightly under the light of the campfire.

Then she snorted again and said, "You really don't know how to save face for me!"

"But that's true - a guy as perceptive as you is, it's really hard to hide anything from you - I did hear that 'Uncle Gu Jian' wasn't exaggerating this time, but so what?"

The young girl, who was about twenty years old, shook her head and looked up at the dark sky.

"Come back to the topic, I think I haven't told you in detail about my master yet?" The girl's low whispering voice drifted in the evening breeze.

This time Li Re didn't say anything.

He thought that as a psychic player like him, it was enough for him to come and provide psychological counseling for others again and again, but since he was here, he had to help to the end - not to mention that after meeting the 'Master Gu Jian', Li Re was quite interested in the 'Master Shuang Xue' who was stronger than him. If he didn't let the little sword fairy completely put aside his worries, it would be difficult for him to fight with him.

He could also see that the little sword fairy had a deep bond with this world - it was perfectly normal for players to develop an emotional connection with the dungeon world, not to mention that this was her 'Novice Village'.

So Li Re just sat quietly in front of the campfire and listened to Cheng Shiyu's next words.

Listening to her, "My master has lived for hundreds of years. She has a cold and aloof appearance, but she is actually very stubborn. She was like this when I first joined the sect. At that time, several of us players broke into the trial formation at the foot of the Tianjian Sect's mountain gate. She immediately decided that I could be her disciple. But I am a genius, and she was not the only one who had set her sights on me. For this reason, I witnessed her fighting with other fellow disciples on the mountain without hesitation—"

“I feel like a little girl guarding her food!”

"It was the same after I joined the sect. Many times I saw her sulking for a whole day because of something. She was dissatisfied but never took it out on her disciples. She just kept it to herself. When she couldn't hold it back any longer, she would go and fight with other uncles and aunts in the name of sparring to vent her anger, making them complain bitterly."

"But I also saw with my own eyes that my master once shed all her blood to turn it into a 'blood sword' and tracked a ferocious beast that was wreaking havoc in the north. I also saw her go to great lengths to find the legendary holy medicine that could revive the dead at all costs just to find a civilian she met by chance at the foot of the mountain."

"Many people say that Master Shuangxue of the Heavenly Sword Sect is a sword madman who is heartless and only loves the sword in her hand. Some people also say that she is a sword master of the Sword Sect who is strict and cold and heartless. But I know that Master is just a little stubborn and stubborn, but she is very good to people!"

"She definitely wouldn't want to be possessed and controlled by a monster."

"She certainly wouldn't be willing to be enslaved and become an accomplice to the evildoers..."

"Perhaps it is really like what Master Gu Jian said, leaving this world and returning after the calamity is over is the most correct way for me to express myself."

"After all, even my master himself once said that I am destined to have a lot of killing karma in this life. Killing one person is equivalent to other practitioners killing thousands or even tens of thousands of people."

"Only by not killing can one achieve immortality and enter the realm of true longevity."

"But after thinking about it carefully, I still feel that I can't just sit back and watch - and that kind of immortality is actually a bit boring."

"If I can't even protect the people I want to protect, if I can't even do the things I want to do... then I don't deserve to be a fairy!"

The little swordsman murmured in a low voice, but suddenly paused at this point.

She was stunned, and looking at Li Re, her eyes seemed to understand something - as if she had suddenly figured something out, they suddenly lit up:

"Yes, becoming an immortal or something like that has never been my goal!"

"Many people think that I don't kill, but only eliminate karma, because I listened to my master and wanted to become an immortal."

"However, as the descendant of the Absolute Sword lineage of the Heavenly Sword Sect, I have lived my life as I wish. How could I be bound by shackles?"

"I follow the 'non-killing principle' just because I don't want to kill--"

"And now, I can kill anyone I want! Why worry?"

As the words echoed, there seemed to be a buzzing sound.

That is the sound of a sword.

There is also murderous intent stirring!

In the reflection of the firelight, Cheng Shiyu stared at Li Re in front of her.

Yes.

Li Re's eyes paused slightly as he looked at the girl's expression which became more and more excited as she spoke. He thought to himself that he seemed to have guessed wrong. This girl didn't need any psychological counseling from him at all. She might not know what to do at first, but she could think clearly on her own. She could think clearly about what she wanted to do and what she needed to do - she could figure it out on her own, it just took some time.

And at this moment, she truly had murderous intent in her heart like never before!

She was also more like what she said to 'Master Gu Jian'.

Whatever the choice, she wouldn't choose it.

Because her murderous intent was not directed at anyone, not at any existence, but only at the "savage buds" and "savage species" all over the mountains - at these evil creatures that invaded the earth!

"I figured it out!"

"I will use the sword in my hand to slay this evil demon without killing a single person!"

"I don't approve of salvation at the cost of sacrifice! I've always been very greedy - so greedy that I want to save everyone!"

"Of course, I also understand that this is not something I can accomplish alone."

"so--"

"Li Re, are you willing to help me?"

At this moment, the whistling evening breeze seemed to blow away the long night, and a thin glimmer of light appeared at the end of the world that was still shrouded in mist - like petals of flowers rolled up by the waves, and more like a little fish white flipped over by a giant whale.

And in this dim light, the girl stood up and stood still.

She also looked at Li Re steadily and smiled again.

There was a sense of self-indulgence in that smile, as well as the same confidence as always.

Cheng Shiyu extended her hand to Li Re and made a very solemn invitation!

but...

Are you greedy?

"Speaking of greed, I'm no worse than you!" Facing the confident Li Re, he also stood up and extended his hand: "Of course I have no problem helping you, but I won't work for nothing!"

"Reward...I'll give it to you!"

Cheng Shiyu put one hand on her waist and hummed. Her pretty face seemed to be slightly redder in the morning light, but her radiant expression couldn't help but become even more passionate.

She tightly grasped the hand that Li Re extended to her, and said in a completely high-spirited tone: "In that case, let's set off - we won't go to ferry ghosts this time!"

"I'll take you up the mountain."

"Let's get rid of the demon!"

"I finally figured it out! Riding the wind and the sword, conquering the demons between heaven and earth - this is what I pursue!"

Chapter 224: Ten Thousand Swords Open the Way, the Yellow Springs Gap

The girl stood upright in the dim light of dawn with a graceful figure. Looking at her face, Li Re thought that this girl's second-year syndrome had struck again...but she didn't feel bad!

but...

"How do you want to get there?"

Li Re glanced at the hand held tightly by the "Little Sword Fairy" Cheng Shiyu and couldn't help but squinting: "Are you planning to take me over?"

"Have you forgotten the existence of 'Calamity'?"

"Forehead..."

As soon as these words came out, the little sword fairy was slightly stunned, and then she suddenly reacted - she really intended to wrap herself in the sword light and fly directly over with Li Re. Although this place is still some distance away from the "Tianshan" where the Tianjian Sect is located, normally, with her speed and familiarity, she can arrive there quickly.

However, Li Re's words reminded her that the existence of calamity energy could obscure her perception!

If I just fly over there rashly, I'm afraid I'll get lost on the road...

Li Re looked at Cheng Shiyu and thought to himself that he knew it would be like this. He glanced at the mottled and broken ground of the border town and was about to say that he should just keep on walking on the ground! By the way, he could also clean up the "barbarians" along the way - although the barbarians could not pose a threat to Li Re, he always liked to "do thankless work"! In the face of the upcoming war, a little more loss might not be a bad thing.

But the next second he suddenly paused.

Immediately, an inexplicable curve appeared at the corner of his mouth.

"Or maybe there is another way," he said.

Cheng Shiyu blinked: "What method?"

Li Re turned his head and signaled with his eyes. The little sword fairy followed his gaze and was also slightly stunned...

The ground was shaking slightly.

The surface of the border town was shattered into sand by the wind, and the gravel was jumping wildly like water - at this moment, streaks of light shot up into the sky like vegetation that broke through the ground and grew up, and the rising sun at dawn sprinkled on it, reflecting mottled and scattered colors.

This is...

"The magic sword of the disciples of the 'Sword of Magic' school?"

The little sword fairy widened her eyes slightly, looking at the stream of light hanging in the air with a little surprise! She also saw at a glance that the rays of light were wrapped in a number of edgeless iron "magic swords" - these were the magic swords in the hands of the sword sect disciples who were hung on the "bone tree" before!

But what really surprised Cheng Shiyu was not only the appearance of these magic swords, but also the direction in which these magic swords were pointing... That was the direction of the Tianshan Mountain where the Tianjian Sect was located! Moreover, under the flashing and trembling of their sharp edges, the invisible calamity that obscured her vision seemed to be briefly split apart, tearing open a path leading to the front!

Hundreds and thousands of magic swords.

Transformed into a sharp edge that paves the way——

"Since you have decided to go."

"Then let me see what kind of choice you made!"

Such a low and heavy sound immediately sounded from the ground.

This is the voice of 'Master Gu Jian'.

Li Re dropped his hands and looked down at the ground. He seemed to see the 'Master of Ancient Sword' standing on the deep ground with his hands behind his back, and countless disciples behind him pointing their swords at the sky. He thought to himself that thousands of swords were leading the way. What a nice scene. He liked it!

The little sword fairy immediately became excited.

She tilted her head and grinned: "Uncle Gu Jian is not so old-fashioned after all——"

"But don't worry, once I save the mountain gate, I will come back to save you!"
