Chapter 24
Asking the Sword in the Snow and Moon! The auntie... oh no, the sword immortal has arrive
It was an extremely aloof and cold figure.
His gray robe fluttered in the gale, as if he had become one with the vast天地 (heaven and earth).
Although he didn't turn around, his lonely and arrogant demeanor was like a sharp sword drawn from its sheath, piercing straight to the heart.
Lei Wujie was stunned.
That back view... why does it look so familiar?
Isn't that the fierce-looking auntie from the tavern just now?
"Auntie...?"
Lei Wujie scratched his head, looking completely incredulous.
"What are you doing here? This is the top of the Heavenly Pavilion! It's very dangerous! Didn't that old man with the spear stop you down there?"
He subconsciously thought that Li Hanyi had sneaked up to "cheer him on." Although her lightness skill was indeed a bit outrageous, the Ascending Heaven Pavilion was no joke. What if he fell or was injured by the sword immortal's sword energy?
"Get down! Get down!"
Lei Wujie panicked and took two steps forward, trying to pull the person back.
"The Snow Moon Sword Immortal will be here soon. She's a ruthless female demon who kills without blinking an eye. I can't afford to pay for it if she accidentally hurts you!"
"A female demon?"
The figure finally moved.
A soft laugh, tinged with sarcasm and chill, clearly reached Lei Wujie's ears amidst the howling wind.
"In your eyes, Snow Moon Sword Immortal is just a female demon?"
"Of course!"
Lei Wujie said casually,
"I heard she has a terrible temper, draws her sword to kill people at the drop of a hat, and is also very old... Hey, hey, hey? What are you doing, auntie?"
The figure slowly turned around.
This time, her face was no longer that stunningly beautiful one, but instead adorned with a hideous and terrifying Asura demon mask!
Beneath the mask, those eyes were like ice that had never melted for millennia, exuding a powerful pressure that made Lei Wujie's soul tremble.
In her hand, she held a long sword that was crystal clear and exuded an extremely cold aura.
Iron horses and icy rivers!
boom!
The moment she turned around completely, a vast and unfathomable sword intent suddenly erupted!
This sword intent shot straight into the sky, instantly shredding the flowing clouds above the pavilion!
The howling wind seemed to become docile in the face of this sword intent, swirling and howling around her as if paying homage to their king!
"Click-clack—"
The bluestone slabs beneath Lei Wujie's feet began to freeze rapidly, and a bone-chilling cold instantly seeped into his limbs and bones, making him shiver and even making it difficult to breathe.
"This...this is..."
Lei Wujie's eyes widened, and his mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.
He may be a bit simple-minded, but he's not stupid.
This oppressive aura, this sword intent, and this legendary sword...
"Snow... Snow Moon Sword Immortal?!"
Lei Wujie's voice trembled as he pointed at the person in front of him, his fingers shaking. "You...you're that old lady?! No! You're Li Hanyi?!"
"presumptuous!"
Li Hanyi gave a cold shout.
This sound, amplified by profound internal energy, was like a thunderclap, resounding throughout the entire Snow Moon City!
"You want to ask about Sword Snow Moon City?"
With each word Li Hanyi spoke, the surrounding air grew colder. "You want to challenge me? And you call me a female demon?"
"Then let me see... just how hard your sword really is!"
The moment the words fell, the Iron Horse Ice River in Li Hanyi's hand emitted a clear and melodious dragon roar!
That terrifying sword aura pressed down on Lei Wujie like a mountain!
"Thump!"
Lei Wujie felt his legs go weak and he almost knelt down.
This is not because he is cowardly, but because of the suppression from a higher level of life!
In front of the sword immortal, he, a newbie who had just stepped into the Vajra Mortal Realm, was like an ant facing a dragon!
"It's all over, it's all over..."
Lei Wujie wailed inwardly.
"I actually called her a female demon to her face, and even called her 'auntie'... Did I have a death wish?"
But he was, after all, a member of the Lei family, and his stubbornness and passion remained in his bones.
"Since we're here, let's fight!"
Lei Wujie bit his tongue, using the pain to forcefully dispel his fear, and then slammed his hand on the sword box behind him.
"Sword of Slaughter, unleash!"
"Fire Scorching Technique, activate!"
boom!
Crimson true energy erupted from his body. Although it appeared somewhat weak amidst the pervasive cold air, like a candle flickering in the wind, it ultimately did not go out.
On the rooftop opposite him.
Su Changqing cracked open some melon seeds and nodded in satisfaction: "This kid may be a bit slow-witted, but his courage is not bad. He was able to draw his sword in the face of a sword immortal's pressure, so he's passable."
Xiao Se sighed, "He has guts, but he's definitely not smart. Shouldn't he apologize and admit his mistake first, then run away with his tail between his legs?"
"That wouldn't be Lei Wujie."
Su Changqing laughed, "Besides, don't you want to see that move?"
Which move?
"The most beautiful move."
Su Changqing pointed to the sky.
On the rooftop, Li Hanyi looked at Lei Wujie, who was still putting up a stubborn resistance, and a cold smile curled at the corner of her mouth behind her mask.
This silly little brother, since you won't admit defeat, then I'll beat you until you do!
This is a perfect opportunity to show him what true power and the real way of the sword truly mean!
Li Hanyi didn't waste any words and immediately raised her hand to strike with her sword.
This sword strike was not fast; in fact, it was somewhat slow.
But as the sword's edge sliced through the void, a strange fluctuation instantly spread out.
The sky, which had been frozen by the cold, suddenly became gentle.
The clouds in the sky seemed to be summoned by something, and began to change shape, turning into countless pink and white petals!
The wind picked up.
It was no longer a biting cold wind, but a spring breeze carrying the fragrance of flowers.
The entire Snowmoon City seemed to enter spring in an instant, with countless petals falling from the sky, like a grand rain of flowers.
nice.
It was breathtakingly beautiful, so beautiful that it made you forget you were in the middle of a duel.
Lei Wujie was stunned.
He forgot to swing his sword, staring blankly at the rain of flowers, his mind a complete blank.
Is this swordsmanship?
This is clearly divine magic!
Li Hanyi's cool voice slowly rang out amidst the rain of petals:
Li Hanyi didn't waste any words and immediately raised her hand to strike with her sword.
The clouds in the sky were drawn by the sword energy, turning into countless petals that fell to the ground.
"This sword strike is called 'Moonlit Evening and Blooming Morning.' If you can catch it, you win."
