Autumn Wind Pavilion.

The ten-mile bamboo forest bends over.

The autumn waters along the riverbank blend seamlessly with the vast sky.

Upon hearing Qin Luo's answer, Qiu Luoye's blood boiled. This was the opponent he wanted to challenge. He gripped the golden longsword tightly, and the surrounding world became solemn and deadly.

Qin Luo gripped the wooden sword tightly. The moment he opened his eyes, they shone as bright as day, and a cloud-like aura rose from his body. This aura did not dissipate and had no fixed shape.

In the bamboo forest.

Chen Xu fainted on the ground.

Even the oppressive aura emanating from the confrontation between Qin Luo and Qiu Luoye was something that ordinary cultivators like Chen Xu could not withstand.

Xuanqing rubbed his stinging eyes, frowning. "Fairy Sister, can Big Brother win?"

"We will win!"

Hua Ying's eyes were firm. She could feel Qin Luo's ever-increasing fighting spirit. His body had clearly been hollowed out long ago, yet he could still unleash such formidable power.

Xiaodie placed her hands on her chest in prayer and whispered, "Master Dao, you must win!"

As Qiu Luoye swung his sword forward, he delivered a powerful strike. In an instant, a chilling autumn wind swept across the land, the bamboo leaves in the bamboo forest turned yellow in the blink of an eye, and even the distant mountains were bathed in the colors of autumn, a golden expanse.

With a single sword strike, the world changed color.

"Is this what it feels like?"

The autumn leaves whispered softly, and at this moment he understood Qin Luo's state of mind when he was young, which was terrifyingly strong!

The bamboo forest surrounding Hua Ying was still lush and green, completely different from the surrounding scenery. She released her divine power, and Xuan Qing and Xiao Die opened their eyes one after another, giving them the opportunity to see Qin Luo draw his sword.

A chilly autumn wind swept over us.

The golden 'sky light' was extremely dazzling!

Xuanqing and Xiaodie could not look directly at the sword light.

Qin Luo concentrated his Qi into the wooden sword, and swung it forward, delivering his full-force strike.

As the two sword lights collided, the light of the sky gradually dimmed, and the entire world became quiet.

Xuanqing and the others were so nervous they dared not breathe.

Autumn leaves and Qin Luo stand facing each other.

As the sunset faded and starlight spilled across the sky, the ten-mile bamboo forest bounced back, creating a rustling sound as golden bamboo leaves scattered and danced in all directions, like a golden rain.

Click!

The golden longsword in Qiu Luoye's hand shattered.

The wooden sword in Qin Luo's hand was completely undamaged.

Hua Ying's eyes shone with joy as she exclaimed, "To sever everything with a mortal body—this is the ultimate realm of the Dao!"

"Yay!"

Xuanqing and Xiaodie clapped their hands excitedly.

Qiu Luoye clutched his chest. He had clearly felt himself being struck by sword energy, yet his body remained unharmed.

"You flatter me!"

Qin Luo smiled.

Autumn Leaves snapped out of his daze, nodded to Qin Luo with admiration in his eyes, and said, "I lost!"

"Master, you are truly amazing! Even without the power of the Heavenly Dao, among all the sword cultivators I have encountered, your swordsmanship is among the top three."

"Thank you for the compliment!"

The autumn leaves bowed in greeting.

Qin Luo tossed the wooden sword back to Qiu Luoye, then turned and walked towards Hua Ying and the others.

Xuan Qing immediately ran up and hugged Qin Luo's leg, "Big brother, I knew you could win."

Qin Luo rubbed Xuan Qing's head.

Xiaodie wiped her eyes. She knew Qiu Luoye was very strong and had been very worried. Only now did she dare to relax.

Hua Ying could tell that Qin Luo was greatly exhausted.

"Do you really enjoy being tough?"

How was that sword strike?

"Invincible!"

"Hahaha."

Qin Luo and Hua Ying exchanged a smile.

Qiu Luoye looked at Qin Luo, somewhat puzzled. "Master Qin, you said I would die."

Qin Luo turned around and smiled, then said loudly, "Master, the one who was killed was you in your youth."

Autumn Leaves was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized, "No wonder I used to accept my fate!"

In his youth, Qiu Luoye refused to accept his fate and always thought of defying destiny. However, after experiencing setbacks, he finally chose to submit to fate and accept the favor of heaven. However, heaven ordered him to assassinate Qin Luo, but Qiu Luoye chose to challenge it head-on.

Qin Luo's sword severed time and space, and also severed Qiu Luoye's past and troubles.

"Master, please believe that the winds of youth will eventually blow back! We will always be young!" Qin Luo, with his back to the autumn leaves, raised his arm and waved goodbye.

Xuanqing and Xiaodie's eyes were filled with admiration, but only Huaying knew that Qin Luo's nonchalant demeanor was just a facade.

As Qiu Luoye pondered Qin Luo's words with his hands behind his back, the broken longsword suddenly coalesced and slashed towards Qin Luo's back at an extremely fast speed.

"Master Qin, be careful!"

The falling autumn leaves tried to stop it, but it was too late.

Qin Luo did not turn around.

Hua Ying reached out and grabbed the golden longsword that suddenly attacked her, crushing it on the spot and refining it in an instant. A terrifying pressure emanated from her body, causing Xuan Qing and Xiao Die to tremble with fear. Even Qiu Luoye's eyes were filled with shock. Faced with such an existence, he did not even have the courage to draw his sword.

"See you later, OP."

"Master Qin, where are you going?"

"Let's go to the dock in Huainan City and have a bowl of wontons first."

"It's my treat."

"No need! You take care of Chen Xu first!"

Chen Xu was still lying on the ground.

As Qiu Luoye watched Qin Luo and the others leave, she felt incredibly carefree. Wu Shashen felt the same way; gazing at the dazzling starry sky, he softly said, "My fate is in my own hands!"

A gentle breeze stirred the white hairs of fallen autumn leaves, and he felt a special tenderness. He couldn't help but shed tears, and exclaimed with joy, "The wind that blew in my youth has blown back again!"

"Hahaha!"

The autumn leaves laugh out loud, looking up at the sky.

......

Huainan City, the dock.

Even after dark, the dock remains bustling, with many boats coming and going on the river, and fish lanterns adorning the Luo River.
