There wasn’t any difference between Wu Meng Xia’s battle and Wu Ni Shui’s battle that happened thousands of years ago, as they both died to protect the Qian Qi Pass.
But Wu Ni Shui battled until the reinforcements came, and Wu Meng Xia was betrayed by the Wang family, while reinforcements never came.
Even if someone had to be blamed, it certainly wouldn’t be Wu Meng Xia’s fault.
Lin Jiu believed that the soldiers guarding the Qian Qi Pass who died in battle were the same as the heroes from the past, brave and fearless even towards death.
There should not have such vicious grievances now. There is something suspicious about this.
Lin Jiu clenched the sword in her hands even tighter.
This sword’s movement felt very strange. If Lin Jiu had to describe it, she would say that it felt like that it was made of water. Each trace of her power could be accurately passed to every part of the sword, and it would react to even the smallest interactions like there was like a heartfelt connection.
The red stream of light flowed through the glass-like sword body, and when Lin Jiu titled the sword towards its tip, the entire body of the sword looked as transparent as water, but the tip was tinted with the color of blood.
This was the color of a hero’s blood.
Every time the tip of the sword passed through a certain place, the remaining red malice hissed and bubbled as if they landed on red-hot iron and then evaporated.
Lin Jiu lightly stepped on the ground, holding the sword in one hand and keeping toward the place where the malice gathered.
Although her body was only equipped with the basic foundation cultivation skills and she was still nowhere close to being qualified as an immortal, she could still easily jump more than five meters away with a running leap. The feeling of taking off now for a short while made Lin Jiu’s heart surge. The feeling of being able to fly by herself was much more thrilling than being carried by someone.
With the sword in her hands and no burdens keeping her at bay, she could take her starting run with ease. She followed the momentum of the long sword that could cut through the wind, and adjusted her breathing and movements to adapt to the sword more closely. Lin Jiu took a leap, and landed a full ten meters away!
The place where the malice gathered was just in front of her eyes.
The red mist engulfed the area, twisted and ferocious, as another massive skeleton slowly formed. She couldn’t even see its head from the height she was at after looking up!
Lin Jiu hurriedly held the sword in both hands and held it in front of her chest. Another surge of power blasted from the sword and swept away the mist of malice that wrapped the front of her. The eighth petal of the Red Lotus trembled gently, a slight sign that it was going to start to bloom.
Even the calmest person could not hide their excitement when the goal that one had been anticipating for so many days was about to be achieved. Lin Jiu’s heart was pounding, and her hands were slightly numb from the thrill.
The fruits of victory were close at hand, as if it was right at her fingertips!
Lin Jiu hurriedly took three big steps forward and floated to the still informed feet of the giant skeleton. She held the sword in both hands, raised it between her eyebrows and slashed straight towards its ankle.
Zi—
The sword’s body collided with the bone with a strange, ear-piercing sound.
Lin Jiu could feel the resistance coming from the sword, and she immediately poured all her spiritual energy in her meridian into the sword in her hands. At the same time, she woke the Red Lotus in her consciousness, using herself as the median to connect the two closely.
In an instant, the power that always sucked malice into her rushed out, and through the exquisite and translucent blade, it landed directly on the giant skeleton.
Roar—
Far away in the sky, a distant scream could be heard.The giant skeleton suddenly lifted its leg, then slammed it to the ground to launch itself in the air, instantly taking Lin Jiu with it.
Lin Jiu could only feel her body become lighter as she was pulled further and further away from the ground.
It was too late to flee, and she clenched the handle with both hands and plunged the sword in deeper. The sword was stuck in the gap between the giant skeleton’s bones, desperately absorbing the monstrous resentment contained in this skeleton.
The sky and land were restored to their original colors as all the resentments in the sword realm had all gathered on this giant skeleton.
After a slight pause as the skeleton reached the zenith of its trajectory, it began hurtling down on the ground!
“Huff—” Lin Jiu sucked in a breath of cold air. She could only watch herself getting closer and closer to the ground as if she were in an elevator plummeting to her death.
At this very moment, the magnificent war song could be heard again.
Countless transparent dots of lights gathered quickly, like snowflakes, one by one, sticking to the surface of the giant skeleton.
Its movements gradually stiffened.
Lin Jiu stabilized her breathing and slid back her messy hair whipping all over her face, then turned over and stepped on the back of the giant skeleton. While holding the sword in both hands, she thrust the blade down!
The Red Lotus, the red sword, and Lin Jiu—the three of them were connected with one another, and the surge of power cleared the surroundings. The malice was like the summer hail quickly dissolving under the scorching sun.
But, it still wasn’t enough.
Even with the help of thousands of heroic spirits, even when the malice was quickly disintegrated into nothing under the combined force of the Red Lotus and the red sword, but the skeleton still had some energy in his foot, and slammed into the ground and launched itself into the air once more, bringing Lin Jiu along with it.
“It’s almost… almost…”
Lin Jiu felt weak.
Her cultivation level was too low, she still couldn’t exert the true power of the Red Lotus and the red sword at all.
Just when she was ready to jump off and crash down in a horrific manner, the center of her forehead suddenly felt cold, a gust of wind blew past her ears.
Wei Liang’s cold and deep voice came from nowhere.
“You need to pay interest.”
