The scarlet moon hung in the sky motionlessly, surrounded by no clouds. The sky was pure dark. And the scarlet moon was like the hole in the dark curtain but no shimmer of light was cast through the hole as if the other side of the world were also a sea of darkness.
Ms. Bai kept her head lifted, leaving the blood dripping along her fair skin. Her naked body was stained with blood as if wearing a dark red dress. The blood made her long hair even darker. The broken skulls still hung on her body just like countless bone worms nibbling her body together.
Ms. Bai stared at the scarlet moon attentively and the scarlet moon also looked at her with concentration. Her dark eyes were like two ponds of water that reflected the moonlight.
“Zhao Xiang’er... You are the empress of the state of Zhao. No wonder you didn’t dare to cross the river and kill me. If we met elsewhere now, we should have fought to the death.” Ms. Bai put on a smile and her pal
The bone sword rose to the sky as if a silver fish sank into the deep ocean. It disappeared on the back of the scarlet moon quickly.The moonlight shone throughout the city.The sword didn’t land even moments later.Ning Changjiu carried the injured Ning Xiaoling back into the room and took out the prepared medicine to treat her. Zhao Xiang’er stood aside and watched the blood marks washed by the sword Qi through her ragged Taoist dress, saying with appreciation, “Well done. You’ve done a good job beyond my expectations.”Ning Xiaoling wiped the blood off her forehead and looked at Zhao Xiang’er with a grin, saying, “It was due to Changjiu’s help.”Zhao Xiang’er was holding her umbrella in her arms. Standing aside, she looked at Ning Changjiu binding up Ning Xiaoling’s injuries and then asked, “That day, when I and your fellow disciple came back, we didn’t come to find you directly simply in fear that Ms. Bai wo
Shubai, who had arrived above the yard, stopped and landed in the yard. He looked around with his red eyes on his bony face like a vigilant owl.Ms. Bai also scouted around with the scarlet moon. She knew that Zhao Xiang’er had an extremely capable acquired spirit that could absorb all the light. When it was merged with the darkness, it could hardly be noticed. Yet, it was not truly invisible. As long as it left the dark place, it would be exposed.However, it was a girl by the broken Bridge of Forgetfulness who saw Zhao Xiang’er earliest.The girl with a slim figure hid in an empty house beside the bridge, curling herself in the shadow. Every day she would stick out her head to look around the bridge.She didn’t dare to stay too far away from the bridge. Once she left, her body would be torn into pieces.She was the new Old Lady Meng, who had been bound with the Bridge of Forgetfulness.Now, the br
When it was about to smash the door, the tip of the sword stuck out of the door slot. The sword light rushed forward as if a water dragon raised its head.Then, a sword slid across the door slot and stabbed through its chest bones. The sword light stirred and turned into burning flames. While piercing through the bones, it burned the chest bones and rendered them charred.Ox-Head didn’t come to its senses. It couldn’t feel any pain but it could clearly feel it was dying. Of course it wouldn’t just wait to die. It lifted the axes and struck them ahead. Its arms were extremely strong and the axes were quite heavy. It was supposed to be a moment of flashing electrical light but a streak of more potent sword light outshone it.The door was opened all of a sudden. In the dark room, a figure rushed out holding the sword abruptly. When Ox-Head raised the axes, the figure cut off its hands and then pressed its chest forward with the long sword.
The bone sword fell into Yellow Spring with the scarlet moon.The dark red light in the world also faded away. Everything became dark completely. Only the Yellow Spring was burning with fiery flames just like the boiling and rushing lava as well as the whirling fiery serpent.Amidst the waves of light, a black and long figure flashed across the boiling Yellow Spring and got out of the water from time to time with the bony back exposed.The beautiful young girl had disappeared. It was Ms. Bai who went crazy under the power of Hades who survived.She had lost two legs but the long tail put together by the bones became stronger, which was like the lower part of the serpent.The water level of Yellow Spring was dropping constantly.The young girl in a plain dress hiding in the small house was gulping the Broth of Oblivion. Covering her ears, she hid in the corner shiveringly. She could feel a terrible t
Before the sword could be slashed down, the chirp of a bird sounded in the ears.The light in Ms. Bai’s eyes was suddenly devoured. The moment the light flashed away, a sword slit her throat like a machete, causing the armor on her neck to crack and then break all of a sudden. The black figure that turned into a blade didn’t badger but held Ning Changjiu, wrapped him up, and then disappeared into the darkness.Ms. Bai raised her head indifferently and looked ahead.A figure was mirrored in her crystalline eyes. That was a good-looking young person dressed up as a man, holding a red umbrella and a sword, and wearing a ponytail, who was surrounded by a big dark bird. “Zhao Xiang’er” wearing a white dress had been carried by her big bird and dragged to her.Ms. Bai couldn’t be sure of her identity for now. Was he...Ning Changjiu?Now, Ms. Bai’s mind was in a muddle. She had lost most of her memory and all she remem
Covered by Jiuyu, Ning Changjiu and Zhao Xiang’er thought they could stall the time until Ms. Bai exhausted her divinity and fell apart. After Ms. Bai died, Zhao Xiang’er would cut off the world which was on the verge of collapse with Jiuyu as the sword. In this way, they could get out of here first whilst the balance of Fengdu could be maintained. Then, they could figure out a way to destroy Fengdu from outside so that the people still alive within the city could be saved.However, everything was ruined by Ms. Bai’s crazy behavior afterward.The flowing flame glistened in the dark sky.That was the sword fire with her body as the sword as well as the corpse fire burning on the bone.By Yellow Spring, the young girl in plain clothes was blindfolded with black cloth so that she wouldn’t see the fire coming from the sky. Covering her ears, she was so afraid and couldn’t help calling a name, “Han Fu.”That was the
The world was like a dark bowl upturned above the city.The darkness seemed like the uncrossable sea. The Yin wind was like the tide sweeping across the world. The sin and beauty of death were like the manjusaka blooming by Yellow Spring, which returned to the darkness after the extreme fascination.In the west of the city, the great sword fire was still surging heavily. The majority of the umbrella surface was burned off, exposing hundreds of dense umbrella ribs.Zhao Xiang’er raised her head. The sword tip had pierced through the middle of her eyebrows for a few centimeters. The blood dripped down across her fair-skinned cheeks and reached the corners of her lips. She puckered her lips, making her lips like the petals in late spring.In the infinite darkness behind Ms. Bai, a shaft of golden light illuminated.The light came from the north of Linhe City and landed in the south of Linhe City. Its trajectory was
Maybe the officials kneeling at the edge of the big hotel failed to hear the noise there but Lu Jiajia had cultivated many years so she could hear and see clearly. Just now, she heard the subtle fighting noise clearly. Her earlobes that were as crystalline as amber appeared somewhat rosy under the sunlight. She hesitated for a while and then walked over there with her sword against the sunlight.Covering the golden crow, Ning Xiaoling was so happy to meet Lu Jiajia and hastened to go forward, saying with a salute, “Master, long time no see.”Lu Jiajia stroked her head with a soft countenance mingled with satisfaction and delight, saying smilingly, “I’m glad that you are fine. What has happened over the past month? And how did you get it through?”Several days ago, the Oracle Sword Heavenly Sect was reopened. The disciples all returned to the sect from their New Year holiday one after another while Ning Changjiu and Ning Xiaoling were not
