Chapter 109 - Found Him

Shen Sifan had been deceived by Liu Yuan’s substitute talisman. She had flown in the opposite direction for two days before finally… finding a substitute talisman.

At that time, Shen Sifan looked at the substitute talisman in her hand and clenched her fist expressionlessly. The talisman paper in her hand was torn to pieces by the Sharp Sword Qi.

It was as if it was foreshadowing someone’s fate of being cut into a thousand pieces.

“Damn… This guy really didn’t regress in cultivation. He just simply wants to marry someone else!”

In the room, Shen Sifan stared at her Green Lotus Sword and thought of the happy times she had with Liu Yuan a long time ago. She could not help but feel angry and sour. She gritted her teeth, wishing she could catch Liu Yuan immediately and bite him to death.

She had been sitting alone in the Taiqing Pavilion for hundreds of years, just to cultivate a Sword Intent. She had sacrificed all of herself for this. The reason why the Green Lotus Swordsman was called the Swordsman instead of the Sword Master was that this sword had been passed down from generation to generation like a chain. The sword was the leader, not the person. However, as the sister of the Pavilion Master, she had the responsibility to bear everything.

The swordsman and the sword had to be tempered for a long time before a true Green Lotus Sword could be forged.

She had come out of her closed-door cultivation early because of Liu Yuan, which had already affected her cultivation. However, her killing intent had been boiling all along the way, cutting through all obstacles and allowing her to be more in tune with the sword intent of the Green Lotus Sword.

She could not tell if it was good or bad.

Shen Sifan’s expression was complicated. She had made the fastest progress among the Green Lotus Swordsmen in the past, mostly because of Liu Yuan.

Because Liu Yuan was the unattainable goal in her heart. To her, Liu Yuan was a teacher, a friend, and also an enemy. No matter how hard she tried, it seemed that she could not catch up with his figure.

Thus, she worked hard on her cultivation and tried her best to get Liu Yuan’s attention.

At that time in the Taiqing Pavilion, other than meditating and cultivating every day, she looked forward to Liu Yuan’s arrival the most. They practiced swordsmanship together, and at that time, Liu Yuan was the most annoying. He always said strange things to make her angry, but he could always easily defeat her. However, it was also the most lively time.

It was so lively that she could not stand the cold and loneliness of Taiqing Pavilion anymore. When she was alone, it suddenly became unbearable, but sometimes they would watch the sun rise and set together, quietly accompanying each other. At this time, Shen Sifan liked this peace and even hoped that time would stop.

Later, she realized that she did not fall in love with liveliness or quietness, but with Liu Yuan as a person. She was willing to endure everything that he brought her.

But now, everything had changed. He actually wanted to marry someone else. The thought of him treating another woman as his wife, protecting and cherishing her… His eyes chasing after others and never falling on her again… It made Shen Sifan’s heart ache so much that it was about to overflow from his eyes.

“How could he do this to me… I’m going to kill him! Why didn’t he come and defeat me again? Why did he run away… I’ve been waiting for him. As long as he changes his mind… No, he broke his promise, I can’t forgive him so easily, I’ll kill him… But will I be able to let go of him? The Emotionless Sword, cutting off the threads of love, is it really what I think in my heart, and not the Mental Demons?”

Shen Sifan’s heart was tangled and confused. Her initial determination to kill Liu Yuan had gradually faded with the passage of time.

Just as Liu Yuan had expected, he only needed to stall Shen Sifan for her to calm down and think. When she could not figure it out, it would be difficult for her to have the desire to kill.

Just as she was thinking this, Shen Sifan suddenly sensed that Cui Ting, who had been seriously injured by her Thousand Lotus Twisting Dragon, Splitting Cloud Waterfall a few days ago, had come to Qingping Residence to find her.

The man from Heart Sword Sect… actually had the courage to come to her.

Shen Sifan was a little surprised.

She did not hold back in that attack. If Cui Ting had not dodged in time, he would have been grievously injured. Even dying on the spot would have been considered a light punishment.

In terms of combat power, Cui Ting was definitely not her match, but to be able to react in an instant and choose to defend and then dodge, Cui Ting could also be called an extremely sensitive sword genius.

However, if this person had not come to challenge him, Liu Yuan would not have taken the opportunity to run away.

Now, he actually dared to come a second time?

Shen Sifan was expressionless. She reached out and pressed her hand on her Green Lotus Sword. It seemed like blood was inevitable today.

Cui Ting, who was outside the courtyard, suddenly felt a chill. The killing intent was like a real sword on top of his head. The bone-piercing coldness was so profound that he seemed to be able to see the shadow of a lotus flower covering the sky.

“…Heart, Heart Sword Sect, C-Cui… Cui…”

He trembled as he held the hilt of his sword and stammered, but this time he could not even say the opening words.

Cui Ting wanted to cry but had no tears. He was simply too difficult!

This kind of terrifying Sword Intent was not something that a person could resist. Generation after generation, the Sword Intent was so thick that it was as if tens of thousands of long swords were hanging above one’s head. No wonder the Green Lotus Swordsman of the Taiqing Pavilion was so famous that even children would stop crying!

However, he needed to re-establish his Sword Heart! If he could not even pull out his sword, his life as a swordsman would come to an end!

Cui Ting gritted his teeth and made up his mind. He tried his best to resist the fear in his heart. He took a deep breath and made up his mind to pull out the sword. Even if he died, it did not matter!

Raaaaahhh!

Cui Ting roared in his heart. He felt as if he was shouldering the shadows of the past generations of Heart Sword Sect seniors. They were all standing behind him, giving him endless strength.

At this moment, Shen Sifan’s killing intent suddenly stopped and eased, causing Cui Ting’s trembling hand to stabilize.

Swish–

A bright sword was unsheathed!

Cui Ting was overjoyed. He felt that he could do it.

Suddenly, he heard a woman’s voice from the courtyard. “Who did you meet in the City of Ten Thousand Swords?”

Her tone was stern.

Cui Ting was stunned. The aggressive Green Lotus Swordsman appeared in front of him again, but this time, she was no longer holding a sword. Instead, she made hand seals and began to calculate something.

Cui Ting was dumbfounded. He subconsciously thought that it was just like the rumors said that Green Lotus Swordsman hated evil and came to ask if he had met any evil. He replied, “N-no… I didn’t… ”

“You’ve been in contact with him.”

Shen Sifan took out the fragments of the substitute talisman, and in his deep eyes, a flame suddenly burned and burned the substitute talisman to ashes.

The ashes flew and landed on Cui Ting’s hand.

At that time, at the city gate, Cui Ting once held Liu Yuan’s hand and even patted his shoulder out of admiration.

Cui Ting felt a terrifying atmosphere brewing. He was covered in cold sweat and did not dare to move.

His intuition told him that it was best not to say anything now.

Shen Sifan waved her hand to recall the ashes and cast another spell. The ashes turned into light spots and scattered, pointing in a certain direction. She sneered, “Found him.”

Liu Yuan might have forgotten that… his blood and hair were on the substitute talisman. If they were in someone else’s hands, they would be the best materials for a deduction. As long as there was a little aura, they would be able to track him down immediately.

The Green Lotus Swordsman instantly disappeared.

Cui Ting, “???”

The Heart Sword Sect’s lead disciple was left alone. He looked at the sword he had just pulled out with a blank face.

Who did you find?

No, what about his challenge?
