Chapter 2239: Chapter 2237: Sword Sect Second Disciple Dies

I don’t know why!

Ever since Princess Zi Xuan received the Cheng Ying Sword refined by Ye Tianchen, she felt a surge in confidence and potential for explosive combat strength. She even believed this sword could provide protection for her Flying Flower Zen Temple. No matter what, she could not put down this sword. Even if it became a burden, threatening her life, she would not let go!

The Sword Sect’s Two Sons swung a sword at Princess Zi Xuan’s head. If that strike hit, even if Princess Zi Xuan survived, her head would have been severed. Yet, Princess Zi Xuan did not retreat, nor did she let go of the Cheng Ying Sword, heavy as a thousand jun, in her hands. Instead, she stubbornly gripped it with both hands, exerting all her strength to swing the sword. At this moment, she closed her eyes, silently praying: Cheng Ying Sword, I hope you can join me in protecting my home, which I love dearly!

Poof!

Blood splattered from Princess Zi Xuan’s body. She felt the pain and couldn’t help but open her eyes to look at herself. A deep blood mark appeared on her left side, so deep that some white bones were visible. She had been struck by the Sword Sect’s Two Sons!

However, Princess Zi Xuan didn’t collapse, nor did her head fly off. On the contrary, the Sword Sect’s Two Sons, standing five meters away, displayed an expression of terror—an unbelievable look—as he stared at Princess Zi Xuan. The longsword in his hand fell to the ground, followed by his own head!

Bang!

Seeing the head of the Sword Sect’s Two Sons fall to the ground, Princess Zi Xuan was equally surprised, as if she hadn’t expected it. Nonetheless, she reacted first, delivering a palm strike to the Sword Sect’s Two Sons’ head!

"Brother, save me, I..." The Sword Sect’s Two Sons was shocked and pale. This event happened too suddenly; no one had anticipated it.

Poof!

The head of the Sword Sect’s Two Sons was shattered by Princess Zi Xuan’s palm strike, turning into a spray of blood mist that dissipated in mid-air. The Sword Sect’s Two Sons were killed by Princess Zi Xuan, resulting in a complete obliteration!

Many were stunned. No one expected that when the Sword Sect’s Two Sons swung a sword at Princess Zi Xuan in a seemingly assured victory, it was he who would end with his head severed and face total annihilation!

"What’s going on?"

"Why did it happen this way?"

"Incredible, what... exactly is going on?"

"Princess Zi Xuan didn’t swing the Cheng Ying Sword, which was restrained by sword energy runes, rendering it immovable!"

"Then why did the Sword Sect’s Two Sons swing down only to fail in killing Princess Zi Xuan and instead end with his own head severed and complete annihilation?"

"No, it was still the power of Princess Zi Xuan’s Cheng Ying Sword that unexpectedly killed the Sword Sect’s Two Sons!"

It turns out, when Princess Zi Xuan closed her eyes, betting her life, gripping the Cheng Ying Sword tightly and swinging it with all her strength, the sword wasn’t moved. Yet, as if activated, it autonomously unleashed a sword qi that not only destroyed the longsword of the Sword Sect’s Two Sons but also severed his head. The Sword Sect’s Two Sons met a tragic fate akin to the Sword Sect’s Third Son. However, this also displayed Princess Zi Xuan’s formidable strength, enabling her to defeat both the Sword Sect’s Two Sons and Third Son!

Swoosh!

A powerful sword qi slashed down, unleashed by the Sword Sect’s eldest son. At this moment, he was extremely furious. A strong sword qi attack descended, startling Princess Zi Xuan back to reality. However, as she lifted the Cheng Ying Sword, she found it lighter than before, unlike its previous heaviness. Elated, she swung the Cheng Ying Sword at the Sword Sect’s eldest son!

Clang!

A crisp sound rang out as the Sword Sect’s eldest son’s longsword collided with Princess Zi Xuan’s Cheng Ying Sword. Both gazed at each other with murderous intent. Princess Zi Xuan was already injured, making her battle less effortless. Meanwhile, the Sword Sect’s eldest son was full of rage. He never expected that he and his three brothers, originally assured of victory, would find themselves overwhelmed against Princess Zi Xuan. Their Second and Third brothers met complete obliteration, leaving only him. Has the Sword Sect Three Sons truly become a defeated force?

No, in the heart of Sword Sect’s eldest son, he was definitely capable of killing Princess Zi Xuan. He was the strongest among the three brothers. His Second Brother and Third Brother had simply been too careless, that’s why they were killed by Princess Zi Xuan, not because they were lacking in strength!

Clang!

Clang!

Clang!

The Cheng Ying Sword in Princess Zi Xuan’s hand, the Longsword in Sword Sect’s eldest son’s hand, continuously unleashed powerful Sword Qi. Not only was the Sword Qi unleashed, but the two swords also clashed, sparks flew, power enveloped the surroundings, causing heaven and earth to tremble. Yet, it startled the surrounding Martial Artists immensely. They were not surprised by the strength of the Sword Sect Three Sons, but by the current combat power erupted by Princess Zi Xuan. In their view, Princess Zi Xuan might be an outstanding figure of the younger generation, but still could not compare with the power of Sword Sect Three Sons. However, the Three Sons were too arrogant and careless. If they had joined forces at the start, how could Princess Zi Xuan have had such an opportunity? She would have been killed with no chance of survival, and Sword Sect’s Two Sons and Third Brother wouldn’t have been killed to the point of spirits disintegrating!

Boom!

A loud bang, two streams of Sword Qi collided, causing Princess Zi Xuan and Sword Sect’s eldest son to be separated. The two locked eyes filled with murderous intent. Neither made an immediate move!

"Where did you get the Cheng Ying Sword in your hand?" Sword Sect’s eldest son asked, looking at Princess Zi Xuan.

"Humph, do you think I would tell you? Sword Sect Three Sons, they’re nothing!" Princess Zi Xuan replied with deliberate disdain.

"You... humph, it was because my Second Brother and Third Brother were careless, that’s why you killed them, but I am different!" Sword Sect’s eldest son responded with a mixture of anger and a forced smile.

"The same, their swords were shattered by me, and yours will be no exception!" Princess Zi Xuan said confidently.

Sword Sect’s eldest son glanced at Princess Zi Xuan, then sneered and said, "It seems you haven’t realized, my Longsword and your Cheng Ying Sword have collided several times without a scratch. My sword is not ordinary!"

"Huh?"

Princess Zi Xuan furrowed her eyebrows. Previously, she had fought with all her might, not daring to be careless at all, for she knew well that Sword Sect Three Sons were strong, and any one of them was formidable. If it weren’t for her holding the Cheng Ying Sword and unleashing powerful combat strength, she would surely be overwhelmed. Only now did she realize this was true. When the Second Brother and Third Brother of Sword Sect engaged her, even though Sword Qi was rampant, they dared not let their Longswords clash directly with the Cheng Ying Sword. Later, because they held their Longswords while clashing with Cheng Ying Sword, not only were their Longswords shattered, but they themselves were beheaded, ending in soul destruction!

However, at this moment, Sword Sect’s eldest son wielded his Longsword and continuously battled Princess Zi Xuan’s Cheng Ying Sword, endlessly colliding, taking no heed of anything. His Longsword remained unscathed, indicating that the sword held by Sword Sect’s eldest son had an extraordinary origin. It’s known that among the ten Ancient Divine Swords, although each has its unique sword Taoism power, every Divine Sword shares a common trait, being invincible yet indestructible. Ordinary Divine Weapons cannot withstand direct collisions with them. The Longsword held by Sword Sect’s eldest son undeniably has an extraordinary origin!

"The sword in your hand is the Half-step Saint’s sword obtained by your Sword Sect’s founding ancestor, no wonder it has such resilience!" Princess Zi Xuan realized this and said.

"Indeed, you’re not so dull. Our Sword Sect was able to establish sect in ancient times due to our founder obtaining a Divine Sword refined by a Half-step Saint expert and comprehending a kind of sword technique divine skill from it. Although we haven’t gained widespread fame over the years, neither have we vanished. That’s because our Sword Sect’s sword technique divine skill is truly strong and unknown to outsiders. All who knew of it have been obliterated!" Sword Sect’s eldest son confidently spoke with a smile.

"Why tell me this?" Princess Zi Xuan frowned, knowing that Sword Sect’s eldest son did not speak out of benevolence.

"Because I want you to witness the true sword technique divine skill of our Sword Sect. This is your last chance to breathe in this world!" Sword Sect’s eldest son said with a cold smile.

Buzz!

As soon as Sword Sect’s eldest son finished speaking, he was enveloped in Sword Qi; the Sword Qi became Sword Sect’s eldest son, and Sword Sect’s eldest son transformed into Sword Qi, with the Longsword in his hand disappearing. At the same moment the sword vanished, a figure sat cross-legged behind Sword Sect’s eldest son, its aura wasn’t very strong, yet it gave an unshakable impression!

"Who’s that behind you?" Princess Zi Xuan calmly asked Sword Sect’s eldest son.

"Who he is, I don’t know either, perhaps the Ancient Saint who refined this Divine Sword!" Sword Sect’s eldest son calmly replied with a smile.
