Chapter 23 Reunion with Liu Xinyue
Chapter 23 Reunion with Liu Xinyue
Liu Yishui coughed up a mouthful of blood and stepped back, intending to use the sect's protective formation to kill Li Chang'an.
But it was too late. Ning Hanruo swung her sword, and the spiritual energy sword light shot straight at Liu Yishui's face.
Liu Yishui swung his spear forcefully, barely managing to withstand the attack, but his body was thrown to the side with difficulty.
It took him seven or eight steps to regain his balance.
Liu Yishui roared.
"Where are the sect elders? Are they simply going to stand by and watch their sect leader perish here?"
Even when Liu Yishui spoke loudly, no one answered.
But Li Chang'an was not about to give Liu Yishui a chance to catch his breath; he drew his sword and charged.
Liu Yishui, on the other hand, planned to take advantage of the situation to use the sect's grand formation to kill Li Chang'an.
However, just as Liu Yishui activated the great formation, Li Chang'an appeared right in front of him.
Below, the thirty-six disciples at the early stage of the Golden Core realm all felt a tightness in their hearts, waiting for Liu Yishui to escape danger before preparing to launch another attack.
At this moment, even if Liu Yishui is calm, he can't help but become nervous under the threat of death.
He glanced at the disciples in the early stages of the Golden Core realm below and made a gesture, signaling them to attack in his direction.
Upon receiving Liu Yishui's instructions, the thirty-six early-stage Golden Core disciples prepared to gather their spiritual power once again.
But how could Li Chang'an let Liu Yishui have his way? He laughed contemptuously.
"Sect Leader Liu, do you think I can withstand this attack and kill you?"
Having been severely injured, Liu Yishui was already at his limit. Hearing Li Chang'an's words, he had no reason not to believe them.
In battle, it is not only a contest of cultivation and strength, but also a battle of mentality.
In an instant, Li Chang'an held his sword to Liu Yishui's throat, and towards the Qinglan Sect members present,
"Who dares to move? I'll be the first to kill your sect leader!"
Seeing this, the thirty-six Golden Core stage disciples of the Qinglan Sect withdrew their spiritual power and looked in Liu Yishui's direction, at a loss.
Then he spoke again.
"Bring Liu Xinyue out!"
Although Li Chang'an had the idea of destroying the Qinglan Sect, if Liu Xinyue escaped in this battle, he didn't know how long it would take to complete his investment plan.
Seeing this, Liu Yishui immediately tried to retreat, but Li Chang'an swung his sword at his thigh, causing blood to splatter everywhere.
"Sect Leader Liu, with your current strength, you cannot escape. If you wish to live, then obey my command."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yishui temporarily suppressed his ulterior motives, but the hidden killing intent in his eyes could not be concealed.
He loudly instructed the Qinglan Sect disciples below.
"Quickly...quickly go and invite Liu Xinyue over."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Li Chang'an's slightly nodding expression, hesitated for a moment, and then asked.
"Nephew Li, is your visit due to what happened last time? Are you still harboring resentment?"
Hearing Liu Yishui's tentative tone, Li Chang'an glared at him, unsure of what Liu Yishui was up to, and then flatly refused.
"If you don't want to die, don't ask questions you shouldn't!"
Hearing Li Chang'an's resolute tone, Liu Yishui swallowed hard, his expression calm, but in his heart he had already sentenced Li Chang'an to death.
Li Chang'an then pressed his sword against Liu Yishui's throat again and looked down.
"Sect Leader Liu, if you dare to harbor any other intentions again, don't blame me for being impolite!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Yishui couldn't help but snort coldly.
"My dear nephew, given the current situation, what other options do I have?"
Hearing Liu Yishui's rebuttal, Li Chang'an naturally ignored it, because he knew that there was a killing formation in the Qinglan Sect used to protect the sect.
Before long, Liu Xinyue appeared below the tall building at the outer gate of the Qinglan Sect.
Following Liu Xinyue were two elders from the Qinglan Sect who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, protecting her.
However, the two leaders that Liu Yishui had just been unable to summon suddenly appeared beside Liu Xinyue in this way, which made Liu Yishui frown.
"Elders, what is your intention?"
Liu Yishui looked at Liu Xinyue with an unfriendly tone, his voice so loud it almost echoed throughout the entire outer sect of Qinglan Sect.
The two elders who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage were about to speak, but Liu Xinyue interrupted them with her hand. Liu Xinyue also did not answer her father Liu Yishui's question.
Her gaze sharpened as she looked at Li Chang'an.
"Sect Leader Li, what business do you have with me?"
Seeing that Liu Xinyue could still maintain a calm and composed demeanor in such a situation, Li Chang'an sighed inwardly.
"Truly a woman of destiny!"
"But why isn't she scared? She must be faking it!"
Immediately, Li Chang'an pointed at Liu Xinyue with his non-sword hand, using the imposing manner of a superior.
"Liu Xinyue, what kind of attitude is this! Believe me or not, I'll wipe out your Qinglan Sect today!"
"Go ahead and kill me! If you're not afraid of the Wang family, then kill me!"
Despite facing pressure from Li Chang'an, Liu Xinyue showed no fear and even proudly displayed her vibrant breasts.
Li Chang'an shook his head and sneered. His purpose in finding Liu Xinyue was not to show off or threaten her, so why should he have a verbal battle with Liu Xinyue?
"I actually liked the way you grabbed my arm the other day, trying to give in to me!"
Li Chang'an didn't know why Liu Xinyue had changed so quickly these past few days, but teasing this arrogant girl wouldn't hurt.
Liu Xinyue cursed.
"You bastard!"
She was about to make a move, but was stopped by two elders who had reached the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage.
"Miss, Young Master Wang specifically instructed us to take good care of you. This trip is dangerous, so you cannot go."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xinyue's eyes showed a hint of disappointment. She pointed at Li Chang'an and sighed.
"Sect Leader Li, if you have the guts, then annihilate my Qinglan Sect and kill me today!"
But how could Li Chang'an be provoked by Liu Xinyue's low-class tricks? He quipped.
"If I don't kill you, am I a coward? So what if I'm a coward? Do you?"
Hahaha--
Hearing Li Chang'an humiliate his daughter like this, how could Liu Yishui just stand by and watch? He seized the opportunity and activated the sect's protective formation when Li Chang'an was laughing.
Li Chang'an's eyes turned cold, and he used the "Universal True Body" to disappear for a moment before the killing formation's attack suddenly arrived.
Two breaths later, Li Chang'an reappeared. In his right hand, the desert was illuminated by bright light, the sword flashed, and the light was dazzling.
A warm current slid into the blade of the desert sword, the blood red color overshadowing the previous brightness. Li Chang'an's sword pierced Liu Yishui's heart with extreme precision.
Suddenly, Liu Yishui fell from mid-air.
Fearing that Liu Yishui wasn't quite dead, Li Chang'an thrust his sword at Liu Yishui's head again.
"Stop!"
Just as Li Chang'an's sword pierced through Liu Yishui's skull, Liu Xinyue cried out and tears streamed down her face.
Liu Yishui has been involved in everything from Liu Xinyue's cultivation to her major life decisions.
He hoped his children would follow the path he had chosen, so they could suffer less in this realistic world of cultivation. This was naturally Liu Yishui's initial thought.
However, after Liu Xinyue fully demonstrated her talent for cultivation one day, she thought she could take control of her own life and receive more care and love from her father.
However, what she gained in return was Liu Yishui's expectations of her. These expectations were not those of a daughter hoping to become a phoenix, but rather those of a hope for the rise of the sect...
Regardless, seeing her father fall before her eyes was indeed a painful experience for Liu Xinyue.
