Chapter 312 Cleaning Up the House
Chapter 312 Cleaning Up the House
"impossible!"
Li Qiushui was horrified to see that her powerful White Rainbow Palm technique had been severed by Gu Qianbei's sword.
What's even more terrifying is that Gu Qianbei's sword strike was not over yet.
After severing Bai Hong's palm strike, the sword energy headed straight for her.
Her terrifying speed left her no time to dodge.
"what!"
The next moment, Li Qiushui's right arm was severed by the sword energy, and blood splattered everywhere.
Li Qiushui's face turned deathly pale, devoid of any color.
With a single sword strike, the outcome was decided.
Everyone was astonished by what they saw.
The power of this sword strike had shattered their understanding.
Even Wu Xingyun showed surprise.
"The power of this sword has exceeded the scope of a Grandmaster. Young Gu actually used the body of a Grandmaster to unleash a sword technique comparable to that of a celestial being."
This... is truly unbelievable.
While Wu Xingyun was surprised, his gaze toward Li Qiushui was filled with sympathy.
Li Qiushui has a very high opinion of herself, and there are very few people she takes seriously.
And she certainly has the ability to do so.
But who could have imagined that such a young upstart in the martial arts world would be able to defeat her with a single sword strike, and even sever one of her arms?
This was undoubtedly a bolt from the blue for Li Qiushui.
She is someone who cares a lot about her appearance, and now that she has lost an arm, you can imagine the hatred in her heart.
More importantly, under these circumstances, she would probably have no face to continue living.
"You little beast! How dare you cut off my arm!"
Li Qiushui's stunningly beautiful face was now filled with a sinister look.
She wished she could devour Gu Qianbei alive to vent her hatred.
"Senior, what's the point of saying harsh words at this time?"
When you fight someone, you must be prepared to be killed.
What's so strange about losing an arm?
If I couldn't withstand that blow from you, I'd be dead, wouldn't I?
Gu Qianbei's expression was neither sad nor happy, as if he were talking about a trivial matter.
With that last sword strike, he could have killed Li Qiushui instantly.
The reason they didn't do that was simply because they felt Li Qiushui's skills were still useful, so they spared her life for the time being.
Otherwise, under the Heaven-Slaying Sword Technique, Li Qiushui would have already been split in two, just like her palm strike.
"you!"
Faced with Gu Qianbei's blunt words, Li Qiushui was so angry that she couldn't speak.
That's just how things are in the martial arts world; there's nothing wrong with that.
But from childhood to adulthood, Li Qiushui almost always won, except for her fellow disciples.
Now that she has suffered such a devastating blow, how could she not be furious?
"Li Qiushui, let's stop here."
At this moment, Wu Xingyun began to speak.
"Hahaha! My dear senior sister, I never expected you to be so lucky."
At a time like this, it's incredible that such a powerful protector could be found.
Is it so hard for me to seek revenge on you?
Li Qiushui shouted angrily.
"When will this cycle of revenge end? You harmed me first, and I disfigured you afterward, yet your resentment is even greater than mine."
Wu Xingyun gave a self-deprecating laugh, his gaze towards Li Qiushui filled with disappointment.
"The four of us from the same sect should have loved and cared for each other, but because of the word 'love,' we killed each other."
Junior sister, you and your junior brother have a daughter, and you've been together for several years, with mutual affection. I really don't understand what you're still not satisfied with.
The most ironic thing is that my junior brother doesn't like you or me, but rather his junior sister, Li Canghai.
We've fought each other our whole lives, but it's all just a joke.
From Xiaoyuer's words, Wu Xingyun already knew Wuyazi's dying words.
So, she let it go.
She is over ninety years old and long past the age of romance.
The reason I still think about Wuyazi is simply because of a youthful obsession.
The longer a love has lasted, the more likely it is to be mythologized.
Because that was also where she once placed her pure and innocent emotions.
At that time, she was not the Heavenly Child Granny who could kill without a second move, nor was she a vicious woman; she was a pure young girl.
Now, she is very old, even though she still has the body of a child.
For her, a life of a hundred years was nothing but a sigh.
Upon hearing this, Li Qiushui was stunned.
She never imagined that she would hear Wu Xingyun say these words to her in her lifetime.
The relief in those words made her feel somewhat ashamed of herself.
"You've given up?"
Li Qiushui said in disbelief.
"Yes, I gave up. My junior brother is great, but what's even better is my love for him."
Now that I've seen through this obsession, there's no need for me to cling to it anymore.
So, junior sister, let's end it here.
Wu Xingyun said slowly.
"No! What right do you have to give up? What right do you have to be free!"
If you're free, then what am I?
Am I the only one still trapped here?
No! I disagree!
We will continue to kill each other until the day we die!
Li Qiushui appeared to be insane, almost delirious.
Wu Xingyun's obsession is also Li Qiushui's obsession.
Therefore, she cannot let go of it, nor does she want to.
This is her greatest expectation in her life.
If this expectation is not met, it will be worse than death for her.
Seeing Li Qiushui like this, Wu Xingyun sighed slightly.
"We are all born of the same root, why are you so eager to harm me? Junior sister, we have already failed Master's expectations, must we continue like this?"
"Yes! There's no turning back for me now!"
Therefore, I will never give up!
Li Qiushui said angrily.
"Very well. Then let me personally send you on your way and fulfill your expectations."
As Wu Xingyun spoke, he gathered his inner strength, seemingly intending to kill Li Qiushui with a single palm strike.
"Senior sister, you overestimate yourself! With your current skill, even if I were missing an arm, you wouldn't be a match for me!"
Li Qiushui sneered.
Wu Xingyun was stunned upon hearing this.
Yes.
She had forgotten about it.
"Senior Wu, let Xiaoyuer clean up the mess. It's his duty as the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect."
Just then, Gu Qianbei spoke up.
"Shall we send Little Fish?"
Wu Xingyun looked at Gu Qianbei and Xiaoyuer with a puzzled expression.
Xiaoyuer was puzzled when Gu Qianbei mentioned him.
"You want me to go up? I'm no match for her now."
"You're underestimating your own Northern Darkness True Qi. Li Qiushui's strength is greatly diminished now; you're more than capable of dealing with her."
Most importantly, you know the Northern Darkness Divine Art.
Li Qiushui's internal energy all came from the Xiaoyao Sect. Now that she has betrayed her sect, it's time to take back all that power.
"Just use the Northern Darkness Divine Art to drain her dry."
"Huh? Isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
Little Fish was stunned.
"Don't worry. The Northern Darkness Divine Art is not a heretical martial art like the Absorbing Power Technique. Although it absorbs internal energy, it will not harm people's lives, nor will it cause too much pain."
Moreover, if you were to absorb the internal energy of her Lesser Formless Skill, your chances of breaking through to the Celestial Realm would increase by at least 30%.
