Chapter 171 Be Reluctant To Part With

The so-called sword intent was also good saber intent.

This was something that cultivators who cultivated this Dao could come up with after comprehending this Dao.

He was different from True Qi and Strength. He was a kind of thing that possessed similar power to True Essence, but it was completely different from True Essence.

Even the most powerful geniuses needed to reach the Nether Opening Realm to cultivate their sword intent to a sufficient level.

However, Xu Han was clearly only at the Pill Yang Realm. How did he manage to accomplish this by crossing two realms?

Zhu Longqi couldn't understand.

In fact, Xu Han did not intend to give him a chance to think carefully.

Zheng!

At that time, a loud sword cry rose from Xing Tian Sword's sword body. Xu Han's body, which had been suppressed by Zhu Long Qi, suddenly stood upright like a god. Zhu Long Qi looked at his saber body that was constantly being raised in disbelief. His gaze changed from surprise to surprise, from surprise to fear. This series of transformations was completed in just a few breaths of time.

Xu Han's body continued to press forward, and that pure sword intent continued to pour out of Xu Han's body as if there was no end to it. Before he bullied him, no matter what, Zhu Longqi's power in his body seemed so insignificant in front of this pure sword intent.

Very quickly, his saber touched his chest.

At that time, the two of them were extremely close. Zhu Longqi could even clearly see the smile on Xu Han's face.

It was a sure-win smile.

"Prince Zhu, you've lost." Xu Han whispered in Zhu Longqi's ear with a voice that only they could hear clearly.

As soon as he finished speaking, the sword intent wrapped around Xu Hanjian's body shot straight towards Zhu Longqi's body like an edict.

"Pu!"

Zhu Longqi's face turned pale as he spat out a mouthful of blood.

The expression in his eyes instantly dissipated. His head tilted and he fainted in the eyes of the crowd.

…

Won?

Even if such a fact happened in front of everyone's eyes, it was still hard for them to accept for a moment.

Zhu Longqi, who was at the Netherpassage Realm, was defeated by Xu Han, who was at the Pill Sun Realm?

They looked at Zhu Longqi, who was lying unconscious on the ground, and then at Xu Han, who put away his sword and sheathed it. Only then did they realize that Xu Han's realm had actually broken through in such a great battle. He had already reached the Three Elements Realm, but even so, this matter still seemed to be somewhat inconceivable.

Exclaimed, cheered.

He frowned and showed his face.

Such emotions appeared on everyone's faces.

One could roughly tell one or two of the various states of life from this moment in the World-saving Manor.

However, the red-clothed girl on the high platform had no intention of tasting the thoughts of the surrounding people. She looked at the youth below the stage and smiled, her eyebrows picturesque.

Almost at the moment Zhu Longqi fell, she quickly walked down to the youth's side and looked up at him.

Light flashed in his eyes, and his heart ached.

She stretched out her hand and gently wiped the blood stains on the youth's body with her sleeve.

She was very careful in this process, as if she was afraid that she would hurt the youth.

However, her appearance was that of a little daughter-in-law.

Xu Han's heart skipped a beat as he grabbed his hand in the girl's surprised gaze and pulled it behind him.

Then, he looked at the uncertain-looking immortal on the platform and cupped his hands. "Thank you, Elder, for your help."

After he finished speaking, he first looked at the purple-robed youth standing beside Sikong Bai. The youth was smiling at him, and then Xu Han looked at Zhong Changhen and Ning Zhumang who were sitting below the stage. The two of them nodded their heads without looking sideways. Xu Han was finally at ease.

Thus, he turned around, pulled Ye Hongjian, and led her out of the hall.

Behind him, the red-robed guest Qing strolled along. Fang Ziyu and Zhou Zhang also stood up and took a deep look at the crowd. Then, they followed Xu Han out of the main hall.

Looking at their departing figures, Sikong Bai's heart sank and he was about to stand up. But at that time, Gongsun Ming, who was standing at the side, shook his head at Sikong Bai. Seeing this, Sikong Bai was stunned. Finally, his expression became gloomy and uncertain as he stopped his impulse to attack again.

At that time, Gongsun Ming stared at Zhou Zhang's departing back, his gaze gradually turning gloomy.

…

On this day, the owner of the Tian Ce Mansion finally set foot on the path back to that manor.

On this day, the sick Beijiang King sat up for the first time in months. Accompanied by his wife, who had been with her for ten years, she climbed up the city gate of the Sword Dragon Pass.

"Does Master feel better?" The beautiful woman pushed the wooden chair and asked with concern.

The pale-faced man sitting on the wooden chair looked up at the sky.

Jizhou, located in the north, is sparsely populated.

Thanks to this, the sky here seemed to be taller, bluer, and broader than the Central Plains.

"So beautiful." The man looked at the scene and said in a soft voice.

The beautiful woman behind him smiled when she heard this.

"If Master likes to watch, I can bring Master here every day."

Who would have thought that a man over forty would shake his head when he heard this. "The beautiful scenery has also disappeared. People are like this again. One exquisite look like this is less than one."

"What did Master say?" The beautiful woman frowned when she heard this and said very unhappily, "Master is in good health. The doctor said that he will be fine after a month or two of recuperation!"

Ever since he ascended to the throne of Beijiang King, there were few people in the world who dared to speak to him in such a tone.

Men enjoy it.

He smiled and shook his head, not arguing.

Dada!

At this moment, the sound of horses' hooves came from outside the pass. From afar, the dust from the hooves could be seen rolling over.

"These barbarians are really idle. They come to challenge us every day!" The beautiful woman looked at the scene outside the pass and instinctively covered her nose as she spoke.

Then, he lowered his head and looked at the man sitting on the wooden chair. He said softly, "Master, let's go back. These barbarians are filthy and unpleasant to hear. Don't dirty Master's ears."

However, the man who had always listened to her held down the woman's hand that was about to push his wooden chair and shook his head.

Seeing this, the woman was puzzled and was about to say something.

Whoosh!

But at this moment, a long muffled sound came from the side of her ears. The woman was stunned. She looked sideways and saw that the soldiers on both sides had actually begun to pull the reins of the city gate.

"Master wants to fight?" The woman asked, her eyebrows filled with unconcealable worry.

However, the man still didn't say anything. He pressed down on the woman's hand, but his usually weak body somehow produced such strength. The woman tried to pull her hand back several times, but she didn't succeed.

The dust grew louder and louder, and the sound of horse hooves grew more and more

The woman could feel the strange look on the man's face, and her brows furrowed even deeper.

"May I know which general will answer today?" She tried to find out something from the man and asked pretending to be unaware.

This time, the man shook his head.

"No one answered."

"Huh?" The woman was stunned again, "Then why did you open the city…"

Before the woman could utter the word "door", the expression on her face froze.

The sound of horse hooves came from the ground beneath his feet.

The deafening sound caused the majestic Sword Dragon Pass to tremble.

Xia Jun had entered the seclusion!

After more than 50 years, Xia Dynasty's cavalry once again broke open the door of the Sword Dragon Pass. This time, there weren't any piles of bones piling up, and they just swaggered in without the slightest bit of bloodshed.

Before the woman could think about what had prompted the man to make such a decision, a cold light lit up at her sleeve. It was something that she had been carrying with her since the day she married a man, and it had not left her for ten whole years.

However, just as she was about to wave her hand at the scene of the man, her body suddenly froze.

Time seemed to have stopped at that moment, and dense traces of sweat appeared on her white foreheads.

Just as she was about to make a move, dozens of Qi in the surroundings locked onto her. She knew very well that as long as her hand reached out for even half a minute, the owner of those Qi would end up losing her life before her dagger could cut the man's throat.

Regardless of whether it was men's schemes or the Mu Clan's army that had guarded the northern border for decades, they could easily accomplish this.

Thinking of this, the sweat on the woman's forehead became denser and denser.

The sound of horse hooves still rang out, and the rolling dust rose, covering the sky and the sun.

Just how many Xia Dynasty cavalry would pour into the Sword Dragon Pass today? Perhaps 100,000, 200,000, or even more. But just thinking about the consequences of such a thing, the woman's heart sank to the bottom.

At this moment, the man finally turned his head.

His face was pale and his lips were scarcely red. His gaze was indifferent, and his expression was blank. It was the same as the night ten years ago when the red candles were flickering.

For so many years, he seemed to have never changed.

But at this moment, the woman suddenly realized that she had never really known this man.

"I won't be able to live much longer." The man opened his mouth and spat out a sigh. Depression, hoarseness, twilight.

"But before I die, I want to do something for the Mu Clan."

The man's eyes looked at the woman. His gaze was still indifferent. It was like a dead forest. The wind could not blow and the rain could not fall. In a sense, those eyes were more like the eyes of a dead person. However, it was born on the face of a living person. It was so strange that people would feel their hair stand on end if they looked at it more than once.

"You and I have been married for ten years. I don't want to kill you."

"Go back and tell Zhu Xian that I…"

"As long as he lives."

…

The sound of horse hooves still rang out, and Xia Dynasty's cavalry surged into the valley like a tide.

The woman left in horror and silence.

At that time, Jia Shi, who had followed the man for nearly ten years, walked to the man's side and asked puzzledly, "Why didn't the general kill that bitch?"

When the man heard this, he raised his head and looked in the direction where the woman had left.

She had long since been nowhere to be found.

He thought for a moment and finally said.

"I'm reluctant."
