Qingming Sword Technique, with its strange and changeable moves and flexibility, was a sword technique chosen by Ji Jue personally for her.
But against the person in front of him, no matter how weird his sword moves were, it was useless.
They had only exchanged a move, and Yu Shu's right arm was already numb from the shock.
The sword Mu Ling used was different from her slender Qingming Sword. The sword had a thick blade, but the blade was extremely sharp. There were many patterns engraved on the sword's surface, giving it a neat and majestic look.
Yu Shu gasped for air, looked at Mu Ling who was calm and composed, and quickly thought of countermeasures in her mind.
Mu Ling held the seven-star gilded rainbow sword and looked at Yu Shu thoughtfully, "My cultivation level is a bit low, but my swordsmanship is pretty good."
"Come again!"
Yu Shu saw Mu Ling rushing over again and hurriedly raised the Qingming Sword to resist.
Cang! The two swords struck together, making a loud sound.
Yu Shu held her sword and was pushed back by Mu Ling for several meters without stopping.
She gritted her teeth and felt pain in her right arm. She couldn't go on like this.
Yu Shu turned sideways to avoid Mu Ling's sword, and then the sword turned over and suddenly circled towards Mu Ling's upper right hand.
Mu Ling took a step back, but still said with ease, "This is a bit interesting."
Yu Shu held her breath and calmed down. At this time, the calmer she is, the better she will look.
There were still eight moves to go, and Yu Shu's expression became more and more solemn.
Although Mu Ling's attacks were sharp and ruthless, she could feel that most of these moves were done on click, more like exploring her bottom.
In this case, Yu Shu changed her mind and stopped blindly defending.
If Mu Ling's sword moves are strong and powerful, she will use softness to overcome the strength. The Qingming Sword will coil up like a long whip and get entangled with Mu Ling's sword, taking away her strength.
If Mu Ling's sword moves slowed down, Yu Shu would not hesitate to seize the opportunity and attack, trying to contain her by luck.
But even if Yu Shu tried her best to make detours, by the end of the fifth move, she was exhausted.
Her wrist was so numb that she could no longer feel anything. The hilt of the sword was mechanically attached to her, and her sword moves had long been deformed due to the loss of physical strength.
Mu Ling looked at Yu Shu with unfinished thoughts, "After five moves, you can be considered to have potential."
"Come again." Yu Shu raised her hand and wiped the sweat from her cheeks.
Mu Ling smiled and shook her head, "You have reached your limit."
"I've been waiting for hundreds of years for someone to come and beat you to death. I don't know how many more hundreds of years I have to wait."
Yu Shu put her hands on her knees with some exhaustion and couldn't help but complain, "If you put the formation at the bottom of the river, how could anyone come?"
"The bottom of the river?" Mu Ling frowned, her eyes full of doubts, "This place has become a river? No wonder, why hasn't anyone come here for hundreds of years?"
Yu Shu was so tired that she simply sat on the ground, "Since you said you can't compete anymore, please return Ji Jue to me quickly."
Mu Ling also squatted down and looked at her funny, "Why are you so worried about him? He has reached the highest level of cultivation."
"Could it be that...he is your Taoist companion?"
Yu Shu was startled and retorted anxiously, "What kind of Taoist monk are you? He is my master."
"That's all you say." Mu Ling shrugged and continued.
Mu Ling looked forward, not knowing what she was thinking of, and her eyes were heavy.
She did not continue the previous topic, but instead said to herself, "This seven-star gilded rainbow sword is the sword of my old friend. He failed to ascend. After his death, I left a trace of obsession to guard his sword."
"He was uninhibited and uninhibited throughout his life, walking alone, slaying demons and protecting the Tao."
Mu Ling said quietly, as if remembering something, her brows relaxed a little, "I don't want his sword to fall into the hands of future generations and use it to do evil."
"Then you shouldn't leave it to me," Yu Shu raised her eyes and looked at Mu Ling, "Didn't you see what just happened?"
Mu Ling lowered her head and smiled, "Not only did I see what just happened, I also saw your illusion."
Her eyes gradually looked at Yu Shu firmly, "I have chosen you to inherit the Seven-Star Rainbow Sword."
Seeing that she didn't listen to anything she said, Yu Shu felt a little irritated and frowned, "I'm not someone who knows how to slay demons and protect the Tao!"
"This is what I want!" Mu Ling's voice suddenly rose, her face solemn.
She looked at Yu Shu and repeated, "That's what I want."
"What is a demon and what is a Tao? How can we only differentiate based on skills and race? The demonic path is not demonic, and the righteous path is not righteous."
Mu Ling's eyes suddenly became dark, "Yu Shu, this is the real final level. Tell me, what is the devil and what is the Tao."
"You only need to answer this question, and I will unlock the formation that sealed your master."
Yu Shu's heart was shaken, her eyes were confused, and she looked at Mu Ling a little helplessly, Mu Ling's words kept swirling in her mind.
What is the devil and what is the Tao.
Some fragments flashed before her eyes, as if she had asked the same question a long time ago.
In the barrier, there was no sound for a long time.
Yu Shu was silent, she didn't know what kind of answer Mu Ling wanted.
After a long time, Yu Shu made a decision in her heart. She raised her eyes and spoke slowly.
"Nothing is good, nothing is evil."
"I only follow my own path, and I only follow my own laws."
She will feel the right way, the evil way, human cultivation, monsters and beasts by herself, and no one else needs to tell her whether it is good or bad.
She only follows her own path, and she only follows the principles in her heart.
Mu Ling's eyebrows flashed, but her face remained stern, "If someone violates your law and betrays your way, what should you do?"
Yu Shu's black eyes flashed with an unknown light, and she met Mu Ling's eyes.
Their eyes collided, and at this moment, the two seemed to resonate.
"I will kill him," Yu Shu replied loudly, her anger sinking into her dantian.
Mu Ling smiled like she was breaking the ice, with a wanton expression, "That's what I like!"
If it had been a thousand years earlier, the two of them might have become close friends.
She stood up and threw the sword in her hand to Yu Shu, "Here, here it is for you."
Yu Shu frowned slightly, "I like my Qingming Sword very much, and I don't plan to..."
Before Yu Shu could finish speaking, she was interrupted impatiently by Mu Ling. She plucked her ears and said, "It's up to you. I'll give it to you as I say. You can do whatever you like."
"If you don't like it, just leave it in the Qiankun Ring to gather ashes."
"I have been here for two thousand years and have long since become tired. Now I can finally leave."
Mu Ling complained and turned to leave.
Halfway through, she seemed to have thought of something. She turned her head and looked at Yu Shu, "You can't kill that person, so don't make it difficult for yourself."
What? Yu Shu frowned and immediately knew who she was talking about, "You mean Wen Xuezheng? Why?"
As Mu Ling walked further and further away, her figure became fainter and fainter, she said quietly.
"Don't reveal the secret, my friend."
what does this mean?!
Yu Shu was about to ask more questions, but found that she had returned to the original cave again, but not in the last location.
She was full of doubts, and when she was confused, she suddenly felt something and jerked her head back.
Seeing Ji Jue, whom she had longed for, he stood there, lost in thought. His shoulders and back, which used to be upright, were now slightly drooped.
Yu Shu felt extremely sad just looking at it.
Her mouth trembled slightly and she shouted loudly, "Ji Jue!"
Yu Shu ran towards Ji Jue, and the moment she stepped on it, the formation shattered.
Ji Jue looked at her, his eyes red under the mask. He took her hand and hugged her into his arms.
Yu Shu looked up at Ji Jue. When she saw Ji Jue's red eyes, her heartache reached its peak.
She followed Ji Jue with her eyes and whispered, "Are you crying..."
Ji Jue awkwardly turned his face to one side, but after a moment, he turned back again.
He lowered his head and whispered with grievance, "I hate this formation."
"I hate it."
He hates everything that separates him from Yu Shu. This chapter has been completed!
