As soon as Lin Dan left, Le Zhengjiu woke up and found himself holding a plain white belt tightly in his hand. He was stunned.
Seeing his strange expression, the leader of Xuanji Sect sighed and said, "That is Lin Dan's belt. She came to see you just now and gave you two pills and two rings. Here, take it."
Le Zhengjiu opened his palms and held the two heavy Qiankun rings, but did not use his spiritual sense to investigate. The gift he gave to Lin Dan when she left was now returned to her. She didn't want to owe him anything, so she left so cleanly, as if she would never look back.
Even though he already knew Lin Dan's temper, when that day finally came, what Le Zhengjiu felt was not the ease and relief he had imagined, but an inconsolable sadness and emptiness. He clasped his five fingers together and tried to hold these things tightly, but he could not hold anything.
The leader of Xuanji Sect suppressed the urge to sigh again and reminded: "Don't you want to look at your sea of consciousness?"
Le Zhengjiu then dived into the sea of consciousness and found that the black holes that had been constantly devouring his spiritual power and mental strength had disappeared. The sky was filled with magnificent clouds, the ground was covered with boiling lava, and the sky and the ground were a sea of deep and light crimson. Such a beautiful scenery had not been seen for a long time. At the same time, he also felt a cool breeze blowing past his ears, bringing with it a hint of fresh water vapor, which was the trace left by Lin Dan. She entered and exited his sea of consciousness as easily as entering and exiting her own cave, just as when they practiced sword together they could communicate with each other just by looking at each other.
Thinking of this, Le Zhengjiu smiled bitterly, but accidentally bit the tip of his tongue and tasted a hint of fishy smell. What he once thought was the most ordinary thing turned out to be so precious.
Seeing his disciple becoming more and more depressed, the leader of Xuanji Sect could not help but ask one more question: "What is going on between you and Jinxi? Why have you been unable to enter her sea of consciousness for two years, and why have you been hurt so badly by her? For a couple who truly love each other, it should be very easy to merge their seas of consciousness, right?"
Le Zhengjiu shook his head, his eyes looking very cold.
At this moment, Liang Jinxi hurried into the inner hall and saw that the eldest brother had woken up. He couldn't help but smile with joy. He spoke to him like a machine gun and blamed him for his reckless behavior, "...If I hadn't found the master in time, you would have almost died!"
Le Zhengjiu listened expressionlessly without giving any response. He couldn't touch Liang Jinxi's heart, so he gave up and let her be.
Liang Jinxi was embarrassed for a moment, but she continued to chatter about her concern. Anyone who saw her would think that she had a special liking for the senior brother and would not marry anyone else.
Originally, the leader of Xuan Ji Sect thought so too, but now, the look he gave this closed disciple couldn't help but carry a bit of scrutiny.
The atmosphere in the hall was very depressing for a while, but Liang Jinxi seemed to feel nothing. She still cared about people she should care about and greeted people she should greet. She looked like a girl who was completely immersed in love. Le Zhengjiu had asked her countless times why their spiritual consciousness could not merge, and her answer was always "I don't know."
No matter what happened, she was always the most ignorant and innocent one, waiting for others to comfort and protect her. She was once Le Zhengjiu's favorite, but only God knows what kind of feelings he has for her now.
Liang Jinxi was still talking incessantly about his concern, but somehow he provoked the Sword of Apocalypse, causing it to break free from its scabbard and fly over the two people's heads, making a sharp hissing sound. The Sword of Destruction also trembled, and an extremely bored, anxious, and lost emotion was transmitted to Le Zhengjiu through the hilt of the sword.
Le Zhengjiu's heart felt like it was being torn apart by a pain, and the smell of blood lingering on the tip of his tongue became stronger and stronger. In a flash, he suddenly remembered something. It turned out that the blood from the apex of the heart was also forced out by the tip of the tongue. There was a hole on the tip of his tongue, just like there was a hole in the apex of his heart. He didn't know how to fill it.
The Apocalypse Sword was still hissing, and seeing that its master was indifferent, it began to chopped at things in the hall like a madman. Then it chiseled out sharp marks on a huge wall, which gradually formed into two words - Lin Dan.
The broken stones hit Liang Jinxi's face, which always had a tolerant smile on it. However, when she saw the two profound words clearly, her calm expression finally collapsed. Both the Apocalypse Sword and the Destruction Sword have been integrated with Le Zhengjiu's heart blood and spiritual consciousness. It is not an exaggeration to say that they are half of his body. These two words were deeply carved into the wall by the Apocalypse Sword. Does that also prove that they were also engraved into Le Zhengjiu's heart?
Liang Jinxi could no longer laugh. She looked at the wall with red eyes and a look of disbelief on her face.
The leader of Xuan Ji Sect was also amazed by the behavior of Tian Qi Sword, and then felt embarrassed. What is going on? Didn’t he say at the beginning that Lin Dan had destroyed their relationship and was the superfluous one? How come even though Lin Dan is gone, the traces of her existence can’t be erased no matter what?
Le Zhengjiu stared at the two words, his eyes flickering, and no one knew what he was thinking. The Sword of Destruction tied around his waist also began to vibrate violently along with the wailing of the Sword of Apocalypse. It had no scabbard at first, but because the sword intent was too strong and the spiritual pressure was too heavy, the owner had to seal it with layers of seals to prevent it from hurting people.
But now, it felt so much pain and unbearable that it shattered the seal and rushed out, hacking at the wall that was covered with inscriptions, as if it was crazy. The flying debris and the sword flying in the air cut Liang Jinxi's cheek, bringing a sharp pain, but she felt nothing.
She stared at the wall, watching the traces form one familiar name after another, Lin Dan, Lin Dan, Lin Dan. The whole wall was filled with Lin Dan. The restless longings of the Apocalypse Sword and the Destruction Sword were the same as Le Zhengjiu’s restless longings. No matter how good his disguise is, the two swords that possess half of his perception will not lie. As long as Lin Danyi appears near them, they will go crazy uncontrollably.
Liang Jinxi wiped the blood from his cheek, looked at his senior brother deeply again, and ran out quickly.
Le Zhengjiu kept staring at the wall, his face as cold as an ice sculpture.
The leader of the Xuan Ji Sect was extremely helpless. He pointed at his eldest disciple with his fingertips and sighed, "You, you... Alas!" Thousands of words could only be summed up in a sigh.
The sect leader left, and the two swords flew back to Le Zhengjiu, pointing the tips of the swords at him, as if threatening, but also as if begging. Le Zhengjiu looked at the Apocalypse Sword and said slowly: "Liang Jinxi was chosen by you. There is no point in regretting it." He lay back down in the stalactite pool, sank his handsome face into the water, and put aside all distracting thoughts.
After recovering from his injuries, Le Zhengjiu returned to Jianfeng and continued to practice the Chaos Sword Technique with Liang Jinxi.
Liang Jinxi put two fingers together and tapped them on his forehead, trying to extract a wisp of consciousness to merge with the eldest brother, but was stopped by him in a calm tone: "No need to merge, just practice the sword moves directly."
"But if we don't integrate them, we won't be able to practice the essence of Chaos Sword Intent. Senior Brother, please let me try again!"
"No need, just practice to the level you want."
"Big Brother, I really like you very much, you have to believe me." Liang Jinxi said with a choked voice.
"Yeah." Le Zhengjiu responded with an ambiguous tone, and then devoted himself to cultivation wholeheartedly.
Hundreds of years had passed in the blink of an eye. Lin Dan had already broken through the mental barrier of the fusion stage and reached the tribulation crossing stage. The Wuji Sect gradually declined because of her departure, but the Kaitian Sect where she belonged became more and more prosperous. During this period, the elixirs she refined could help people reshape their bodies, refine their spiritual roots, and change their destiny. As long as you still have a breath, even if your meridians are broken, your dantian is shattered, and your bones are completely destroyed, you can recover with her help, provided that she likes you.
She really became a legend in the South China Continent. If the ladder to heaven still existed, she would be able to ascend successfully sooner or later. No one wanted to be her enemy, firstly because they didn't dare, and secondly because they couldn't. She practiced at a leisurely pace, but her speed was still much faster than others. When she thought she needed to suppress her cultivation to avoid extinction, that day arrived early.
On a certain winter afternoon, she just meditated for a moment, and when she woke up, the Nanhua Continent had already merged with the Holy Demon Continent hidden in another time and space. The two worlds are governed by the same Heavenly Dao, but their world consciousness has disappeared, so their running trajectories have shifted and they inevitably collide with each other. The demonic energy and spiritual energy could not merge, and a violent explosion occurred the moment they came into contact, overturning countless cities and sects.
A loud noise symbolizing destruction struck the two continents like a tidal wave. The cultivators in Nanhua Continent were all feeling threatened, but the demons in Holy Demon Continent were ecstatic. They swarmed out from the resource-scarce Demon Abyss, killing anyone they saw and snatching treasures they found, making the land of China stained with blood.
In the past, there were only a few sporadic time and space tunnels connecting the Holy Demon Continent to the South China Continent. Even so, the demons who sneaked in from there could cause great trouble to the monks of the South China Continent. The demon clan is the interaction between monks and demons. Most of the hybrids born from the fusion inherited the cruel nature of the demons and were hated by the entire cultivation world.
But now, countless demons who are more cruel and powerful than the demons have descended on this continent, and a catastrophe is inevitable. In order to fight for the right to survive, monks and demons will fight to the death.
Lin Dan gradually felt that under the pollution of demonic energy, the South China Continent could no longer produce high-quality spiritual medicines, and spiritual stones and natural treasures were becoming increasingly scarce. If this continues, the day of destruction will not be far away. But she couldn't do anything, she was just one person and had no ability to change the world.
She began to hoard all kinds of elixirs and supplies, trying to survive to the end, although she didn't know what the point of surviving to the end was. On this day, she received a piece of news that there was a nearly mature Thousand Fantasy Orchid growing at the border between the Holy Demon Continent and the South China Continent. It could be used to refine many top-grade elixirs and would also greatly promote one's cultivation.
She immediately boarded a shuttle and flew towards the border. After three days of rapid travel, she finally reached her destination. However, she found that the Thousand Illusion Orchid had matured, and the demons and monks guarding the surroundings were fighting fiercely for it. The one guarding Qian Huanlan was a Phantom Leopard of the Demon King level, but there was a big hole in its stomach, and its demon core had been dug out. It was lying in a pool of blood, dying.
Lin Danduo took a closer look at the black panther and then drew his breath. He drew the sword from his waist and rushed into the sky.
"Master Lin Dan is here!" Someone shouted, and then many cultivators from the Nanhua Continent withdrew from the melee and quickly hid aside.
A path suddenly cleared in front of Lin Dan's eyes. A demon several meters tall was holding a fragrant orchid and was fighting with Le Zhengjiu. After not seeing each other for a long time, Le Zhengjiu's cultivation has reached the peak of the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and he is only one step away from advancing. The demon was obviously no match for him, and he soon cut off his left arm and right leg, causing him to fall from the sky.
He turned around to fight again, with a terrifying sword intent spitting out from the tip of his sword, but suddenly he found that Lin Dan was flying up with a knife, aiming at Qian Huanlan, so he swung out another sword, deflecting the previous sword intent and actually letting the demon who was on the verge of death escape.
The demon was overjoyed and tried to escape by sticking his head into the ground, but was cut in half by Lin Dan's sword.
"Your Qian Huan Lan." Lin Dan inserted the knife. The corpse of the possessed man absorbed his poisonous blood. The originally silver-white sword had now turned dark red. It was unknown how much blood of monks and demons it had been watered with.
Le Zhengjiu slowly landed on the ground, his pair of dark eyes staring at Lin Dan greedily. The group of junior brothers and sisters standing behind him ran forward excitedly, wanting to take away the Qian Huan Orchid that was still in the demon's hand, but were blocked by the sword of the eldest brother.
"Take it if you need it." He said in a hoarse voice.
"First come, first served. I can't take advantage of you." Lin Dan shook his head and refused.
"It's useless to me." Le Zhengjiu turned and left without even looking at Qian Huanlan.
Lin Dan knew that he was a man of his word, so he did not delay any longer. He took the orchid from the demon's hand, took out his Qiankun Ring, and scanned it with his spiritual sense. A dazzling demon pill was shining in the cramped and dim space. The powerful demon power was almost condensed into substance, which showed that it had just been taken from a demon.
Lin Dan noticed the phantom leopard, so he walked over, stuffed the demon pill back into its dantian, and fed it an extremely precious body-shaping pill. The Phantom Leopard was originally roaring at her, but after realizing her intention, it gradually became quiet, its amber eyes soaked in the clear water, as if it was crying.
"It's okay. I'll return the orchid to you." Lin Dan stuffed the orchid into the mouth of the Phantom Leopard, then sat cross-legged beside it and guarded it quietly. Although orchids are precious, in her heart they are not as valuable as a life, not to mention that this phantom leopard has such beautiful eyes.
Seeing her wasteful behavior, the monks who participated in the robbery dared not say anything. The demons dared to speak out, but they had all been killed by Le Zhengjiu's sword and could never speak again. But the disciples of Xuanji Sect felt that they had the right to condemn Lin Dan, so they said indignantly: "Big Brother, look, Master Lin Dan actually gave the spiritual herbs you worked so hard to snatch to that phantom leopard! She is wasting your kindness."
Le Zhengjiu forced himself to keep walking forward and not look back. Finally, he had a legitimate reason to look at Lin Dan more. He turned around quickly and stared at her, and his cold eyes softened slightly. She protected the black panther, gently stroked its fur, pinched its front paws, her eyes sparkling, like a little girl who had obtained her favorite toy. How many years has it been since I last saw her like this? He was becoming more and more exhausted, but she seemed to have returned to her original and most beautiful state.
Le Zhengjiu stared at Lin Dan in a daze for a while, then walked away with a smile on his lips. The disciple wanted to reprimand Lin Dan, but another disciple covered his mouth and warned him in a low voice: "Stop talking. Every time he meets Master Lin Dan, the eldest brother will give away the treasure that is about to be obtained. He stole it, and he can give it to whoever he wants. What does it have to do with you? Even if he doesn't give it, if Master Lin Dan really wants it, he definitely has the ability to take it away from him. They are equally powerful, it's like a fight between gods, who do you think you are?"
The young disciple blushed with embarrassment and dared not say anything more.
Lin Dan stayed by the black panther's side for ten days, and only left after its demonic power had fully recovered. During these ten days, a major event occurred in the Holy Demon Continent. The Blood Demon, leader of the ten demon kings, suddenly broke through the barriers and cultivated to the great success stage, just one step away from ascending. This had never happened before in the Holy Demon Continent, so the demons were ecstatic and felt that they had the confidence to fight against the South China Continent. They assembled a large army and prepared to launch a conquest on the world of cultivation. The cultivation world naturally summoned elite disciples from all major sects to fight at the border.
Lin Dan is the number one alchemy practitioner in Nanhua Continent, so naturally he cannot be absent.
Ten days later, she finally arrived at the front line, and all the major sects had already set up camp there, waiting for the upcoming war. That night, the demons launched a surprise attack. The Blood Demon was responsible for fighting against the only three remaining great master monks in the Nanhua Continent, while the rest of the Demon Lords led the demon army to break through.
As the saying goes, to catch a thief, you must first catch the leader. The cultivators assembled nine extremely powerful teams and strangled the nine demon lords separately. As long as the leader was dead, the remaining demons would not be a problem. After hundreds of years of practice, Le Zhengjiu and Liang Jinxi have mastered the Chaos Sword Technique to perfection. They can kill Demon Lords as easily as chopping melons and vegetables. They can quickly get rid of one and then quickly go to support other teams.
The cultivators standing guard at the rear watched them cooperate perfectly, and exclaimed in delight: "Is this the Chaos Sword Art? It is indeed powerful! One of them is at the Tribulation Crossing Stage, and the other is at the Fusion Stage. Together, they can strangle three or four Tribulation Crossing Demon Lords. This strength is unbeatable! If they were to face the Blood Demon, what do you think their chances of winning would be?"
"I'm afraid we're still a little short of our strength to face the Blood Demon!"
"No, no, no, it's not too late. Look, they have killed eight of the nine Demon Lords, and only the last one is left!"
As soon as the man finished speaking, the last Demon Lord's head was chopped off by Le Zhengjiu's sword intent, leaving only a broken corpse. He raised his head and looked at the blood demon standing in mid-air, frowning deeply. The Blood Demon was not panicked by the heavy losses of the demon army. Instead, he laughed triumphantly. As he laughed, he spread his arms and absorbed the blood and evil spirits between heaven and earth into his body, turning them into an endless supply of demonic energy.
The leader of Xuanji Sect was the first to come back to his senses. He said in shock, "Oh no, we've been tricked by him! He uses the bloody evil energy as the basis of his cultivation. The more people die on this land, the better it is for his cultivation! He is not trying to seize territory. He is treating the lives of both generations as fertilizer to nourish the evil energy!"
However, the war has already begun and it cannot be stopped just like that. Cultivators and demons continued to fall in pools of blood, while the Blood Demon's cultivation level kept rising. Not long after he was promoted to the great perfection stage, he already had the strength to fight against three great perfection stage ancestors at the same time.
Just when he was about to break through to the peak of the Great Accomplishment Stage, the bloody and murderous aura between heaven and earth suddenly cleared, causing his confident expression to freeze on his face. He looked down and found a steel knife stuck in the bloody battlefield, absorbing the bloody energy more greedily and faster than him.
"Who are you, little bastard, to dare to ruin my good deeds!" The blood demon transformed into a split. He moved forward and attacked Lin Dan who was holding the hilt of the knife. Knowing that the strange knife could not leave the bloody battlefield, Le Zhengjiu immediately attacked, and Liang Jinxi had to follow. The three great masters were fighting with the Blood Demon's real body.
"Senior Brother and Senior Sister Liang are so powerful that even the Blood Demon is no match for them. The Chaos Sword Technique is indeed the best martial art in the world." Seeing the Blood Demon's point. His body was frequently hit by Le Zhengjiu's sword intent, and the disciples of Xuan Ji Sect who were standing in the distance and watching said with some pride.
"The two of them have practiced together for hundreds of years, and have long achieved the unity of man and sword, and can exert the strongest combat power!"
"Yes, no one can cooperate better than them. When the two of them are together, they are invincible!"
However, as soon as he finished speaking, the Blood Demon incarnation found the flaw in the Chaos Sword Technique, so he avoided Le Zhengjiu's sword and attacked Liang Jinxi. Liang Jinxi could barely take a few moves at first, but later on he was no longer able to fight back and could only hide behind his senior brother. Her dodging ruined the situation. The cooperation between the two of them was originally based on a method: when I attack, you help me defend, and when I defend, you help me attack; when I attack the upper body, you attack the lower body; when I attack the left, you attack the right. In this way, the two men only had four hands and two swords, but they were able to advance and retreat in a measured manner, and to be both offensive and defensive, which was truly seamless.
This is the terrifying aspect of the Chaos Sword Technique. If two people work together as one, they can become one, and can also become thousands and millions. The fighting power is not as simple as one plus one is greater than two, but it is infinite and flawless. However, Liang Jinxi's retreat directly exposed Le Zhengjiu, and the Chaos Sword Technique lost its power in an instant.
The Blood Demon laughed loudly and slapped Le Zhengjiu. Le Zhengjiu blocked with his sword, but when he noticed that Liang Jinxi was still running away, he had to shout, "Don't run away, or you'll be defeated one by one!"
Liang Jinxi could only get around him from behind and try to fight again, but because he had lost his will and determination to fight, his movements became increasingly sluggish. She and Le Zhengjiu could never be of one mind. The reason they were able to hide this from the eyes of the sect was only because they practiced hard day and night and had already turned the sword techniques into body memory.
Now that his body was dominated by fear, Liang Jinxi naturally couldn't keep up with Le Zhengjiu's speed. Either his defense was not good enough or his attack was a few beats slow. Not only could he not help Le Zhengjiu, he actually held him back greatly. The blood demon discovered that she was a weakness, and flashed to the top of her head, and a river of blood rushed back to knock her down.
Liang Jinxi vomited blood, his limbs were broken, and he couldn't even hold the Apocalypse Sword in his hand.
At the same time, the leader of Xuan Ji Sect and three other great master cultivators were no match for the Blood Demon and were shot down from the sky one by one by him.
Le Zhengjiu had been seriously injured, but he never took a step back. Because Lin Dan was right under his feet, what should she do if he retreated? At this moment, Lin Dan pulled out the steel knife from the pool of blood, flew into the air, and shouted: "Chaos Sword Art Sixth Style: Burning Heaven's Fury!"
Even though the two had been separated for hundreds of years and had never practiced sword moves together, the tacit understanding that was embedded in their bones and blood still awakened them at the first moment. Le Zhengjiu turned around without thinking, put his sword and Lin Dan's knife together, and blasted out a fire that burned the sky. The tip of Lin Dan's knife spit out a sword energy like a landslide and tsunami, catching up with his sword intent.
The Xuanji Sect disciple standing in the rear was stunned and stammered, "Isn't it said that only the Twin Spirit Swords can use the Chaos Sword Art? Why can they use one sword and one knife? How did they do it?"
