Chapter 623: He was Fine, That was Good
This was the might of an ancient killing sword—the Divine Sword Cang Yuan.
At present, only two people were still able to remain standing in the entirety of Little Silver Ancient Mountain. One of them was naturally Huangfu Qingjue. It was just that on his peerless elegant face, there were shades of difficulty and he was covered in a thin layer of sweat.
Even he did not think that the might of the Cang Yuan Sword would be so strong.
Seeing the demon emperor and the rest of his guards vomit blood and fall unconscious, Huangfu Qingjue was shocked in his heart and immediately grabbed Ling Chuxi’s hand tightly, wanting to help her withstand the might of the Cang Yuan sword.
Turning towards Ling Chuxi, he saw that aside from her face turning pale, she had not fallen unconscious unlike the demon emperor and his guards.
Could it be that the might of this sword was only effective on monster beasts? Huangfu Qingjue felt some doubt in his heart about this theory and eventually felt that it was wrong. He clearly felt the strong and mighty suppression of the Cang Yuan sword. Even with his cultivation, he found it hard to deal with. How could it be that ineffective on Ling Chuxi?
Huangfu Qingjue’s gaze landed on Ling Chuxi’s Luo Chen Sword and upon observing that her sword was out of the ordinary, he wondered if her resistance to the Cang Yuan sword’s might could be related to it?
Just at this moment, the Cang Yuan Sword suddenly flew up into the air and left a shockingly long rainbow streak of light behind as it pierced over towards Ling Chuxi at a great speed.
Huangfu Qingue’s heart sank and he did not manage to think anymore. In a flash, he stood before Ling Chuxi’s as both of his hands waved to send a great qi force that could shake the heavens and make the earth tremble rumbling towards the advancing Cang Yuan Sword.
But the sword and its long rainbow trail sliced through the great qi force without any resistance at all, bypassing it completely.
Feeling the murderous intent in the oncoming sword, Huangfu Qingjue instinctively stretched out his arms and disregarded everything to grab onto the sword to stop it. Chuxi was standing behind him, and he absolutely would not let this sword hurt her.
However, as his fingers tightened to wrap around Ling Chuxi’s hand, they clasped onto nothing. Huangfu Qingjue saw the long rainbow tail of the Cang Yuan Sword go through his chest, but there were no traces of any injury left upon his body.
A Sword Spirit. It turns out that this was a sword spirit! Huangfu Qingjue suddenly understood that what they were seeing was the essence left behind by the Cang Yuan Sword and not the actual sword itself.
“Chuxi!” exclaimed Huangfu Qingjue as he instantly turned around to check on Ling Chuxi. Merely by seeing how the demon emperor and his guards ended up, one could easily imagine how strong the Cang Yuan Sword was and how strong even its remnant essence was.
Seeing this situation, the Cang Yuan Sword spirit had clearly been rushing at Ling Chuxi!
“Qingjue!” Chuxi also exclaimed in surprise.
Huangfu Qingjue had appeared before her in a flash to protect her. But after he sent out a wave of qi force and grabbed her hand, he was impaled by the unstoppable Cang Yuan Sword. Everything happened so quickly, like a flash of lightning, yet Ling Chuxi missed none of it as everything fell into her line of sight.
What pain she felt when she saw the Cang Yuan Sword piercing into Huangfu Qingjue’s heart. Ling Chuxi could only feel a heart-drilling, bone-piercing ache at the sight. It was as if the world had fallen into an abyss at that moment as if the most important thing in life was gone.
When the sword’s ray appeared again after going through Huangfu Qingjue’s chest without leaving any injuries, an odd light appeared in Ling Chuxi’s deadly quiet eyes. He was fine... He was fine!
Surprise, delight, and joy. All kinds of emotions surged in Ling Chuxi’s heart as if she had experienced countless reincarnation cycle eras.
When the Cang Yuan Sword pieced into her chest instead, Ling Chuxi’s eyes had actually welled up with tears of joy. He was fine, that was good...
“Chuxi!” Huangfu Qingjue’s exclamation burst out by her ear in a voice full of regret. Such was the heartache that Huangfu Qingjue felt alongside the hatred he had towards himself for being unable to stop the Cang Yuan Sword from hurting Ling Chuxi.
At this moment, Ling Chuxi’s mind felt like it was being attacked by a strike of shocking thunder as she fell into a galaxy of stars.
Countless lights flashed within her eyes, like a night sky full of stars. Each star was emitting an energy of desolation as if it bore the joys and sorrows of countless reincarnations of multiple lives past.
