Lu Chen finally realized where that ominous premonition came from.
This is inexplicable.
Murong Xue frowned and said, "I don't know why you want to commit suicide, but you provoked him first. He didn't kill you, which is already showing mercy. And you still want to kill yourself? If you can't accept defeat, why did you stop him?"
Lu Chen looked up at the sky at a 45-degree angle, as if his eyes were blinded by sand and dust, and said with a moved expression, "Senior Sister Murong understands me. Alas, I offered my heart to the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the gutter! It is rare to find a true friend in life. Senior Sister Murong, I am so moved that I wish I could repay you with my life!"
"roll!"
Murong Xue remained calm and composed, uttering only a single word.
"Okay!"
Lu Chen grinned, completely unconcerned.
[Confession of love failed, reward received: one Mystic Spirit Pill]
"Mysterious Spirit Pill?"
It looks pretty good.
Lu Chen silently opened the system space and glanced at the Xuanling Pill.
Xuanling Pill: A low-grade healing elixir that can bring the dead back to life and restore flesh to bones.
The woman in black robes remained silent, still kneeling there, her knees pierced by Lu Chen's two swords, unable to stand.
She seemed to have a death wish and didn't care whether she died on her knees or not.
Lu Chen found it a bit strange.
He glanced at the woman in black, then at Murong Xue, and suddenly a melodramatic plot from his past life flashed into his mind.
Once a woman's veil is lifted, revealing a secret no one has ever revealed before, she must marry him or die.
Considering the black-robed woman's immediate and unhesitating act of slitting her throat, Lu Chen was speechless.
"Because I cleaved your black robe with my sword, revealing your true face, so you either marry me or die, is that right?"
Lu Chen's words shocked the woman in black.
"really!"
Seeing her expression, Lu Chen knew he had guessed correctly.
Murong Xue also looked surprised, as if she had never expected that such a strange rule existed in the world.
How did you know?
The woman in black robes stared at Lu Chen in shock.
Lu Chen shrugged and said, "What's so strange about that? I've seen even more bizarre rules, like 'As long as the sword is there, the person is there; if the sword dies, the person dies.' If your weapon is broken during a fight, you have to commit suicide!"
"..."
Murong Xue frowned, looking completely bewildered.
Is that so?
The woman in black robes was also taken aback for a moment.
Lu Chen added, "They're all out of their minds!"
"..."
The woman in black robes remained silent, head bowed, before suddenly saying, "You won't let me die, nor will you marry me, so what am I supposed to do?"
"etc!"
Lu Chen quickly interrupted, saying, "It's her who's preventing you from dying, what does that have to do with me? You can live or die as you please! I'm not killing you because this isn't a life-or-death arena, understand?"
After saying that, Lu Chen turned and left.
Murong Xue hesitated for a moment, but then followed Lu Chen.
She suddenly realized that she shouldn't have intervened.
If I hadn't taken action, how would I have encountered such an oddball?
As soon as the two left, the woman in black robes was stunned, seemingly unsure of what to do.
Continue to die?
It doesn't seem to make much sense, and besides, she actually... doesn't want to die.
But this was a rule set by her clan, and no one was allowed to violate it. She had accepted this concept since childhood, and it had not changed even after she entered the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.
After a moment's thought, she slumped to the ground with difficulty.
Then, he took out a healing pill, put it in his mouth, and his pale complexion quickly improved.
But by this time, Lu Chen and Murong Xue had already walked away into the distance.
The woman in black robes was somewhat anxious. Suddenly, she gritted her teeth, forced herself to stand up despite her still-healing legs, and chased after Lu Chen.
Everyone was stunned.
What are they trying to do?
"Senior sister, why are you doing this?"
"Your injury hasn't healed yet. If you keep pushing yourself like this, your leg will be ruined!"
"That's right! Lu Chen doesn't want you, but your senior brother does! Where do you want to go? Your senior brother will carry you!"
The woman in black robes stopped abruptly, turned around, and looked expressionlessly at the man who called himself her senior brother.
Her entire body instantly transformed into a cloud of black mist, rushing towards the person like a tornado before quickly disappearing into the distance.
The man screamed in agony.
His lower body reeked of decay; it was all just a lump of rotten flesh.
It looked as if it had been eaten by something terrible.
None of the onlookers dared to approach, and as they watched the woman in black robes disappear into the distance, none of them dared to chase after her.
That's terrifying.
What is this black fog?
Lu Chen prepared to return to the Sword Immortal Pavilion, but Murong Xue followed closely behind.
"Why is Senior Sister Murong following me? Could it be that she has really fallen for me and has decided to pester me relentlessly? There's really no need for that. Senior Sister, you could have just said so. Actually, I like Senior Sister too!"
"Shut up!"
Murong Xue didn't care at all about his nonsense, but said very seriously, "Your swordsmanship is very advanced. I would like to have a match with you, what do you say?"
[Confession of love rejected, reward: 1 Water Spirit Fruit!]
Lu Chen was overjoyed.
Water Elemental Fruit: A water-attribute innate spiritual fruit that has remarkable effects on cultivation for those with an innate water attribute.
"Senior Sister Murong, what's the point of competing with me? Isn't this just bullying? I'll just admit defeat!"
Lu Chen would never do something that wouldn't bring him any benefit, and even if there were benefits, he wouldn't readily agree.
Murong Xue said calmly, "Don't worry, when I compete with you, it will only be a sword fight. I will suppress my power to the same level as you and will not take advantage of you in the slightest."
