Unparalleled Evildoer

Chapter 265 Empty Heart
'Bang...' The sword light of Xuanyuan Emperor Sword hit the Thunderous Reverse Blade, and the true energy surged. Lingkongzi's whole body shook violently, and his bones seemed to be shattered. His body bounced back and smashed the fence. Jin Xingzi stretched out his hand to catch Lingkongzi, but the two of them piled up on top of each other and rushed into the cabin.

With just a casual sword strike, Ling Kongzi was knocked flying. The huge gap between them was obvious.

Zhishui looked down on Zhulang, snorted coldly, and without stopping, he jumped down the mountain with the coffin on his back in a few leaps.

Ji Jie stepped forward and grabbed Shisui's hand, tears welling in his eyes as he said, "We are trapped, and Sisi has been captured!"

Shishui said in a deep voice: "Master has seen everything, you don't have to panic, let's go into the tent and talk!"

At this time, Xiao Yuzhen also walked out of the tent, stared at the coffin behind Zhishui, and asked coldly: "It seems that the real person can't do it!"

Shisui laughed and said, "If you couldn't do that, why would you carry him here?"

"If the real person could have done it, why is he still in the coffin?"

"We rushed here before he woke up. If what I expected is correct, the Virgin Mary will see him at midnight. The Virgin Mary should prepare what we want and wait for good news!"

Xiao Yuzhen's cold face showed surprise, "If he really resurrects, even without that thing, I will help you bury the 300,000 Qin troops in the valley."

Shisui laughed and said, "Well, with the help of the Holy Mother, there is no need to worry about the Qin army not being destroyed."

Upon hearing the news, Xiong Wang and Jie Jun came to Ji Jie's tent. Jie Jun asked, "Master, do you have a good plan to get out of this predicament?"

Shisui smiled and said, "Although our army is trapped in the valley, as long as we fight our way out of this valley, we will be able to turn the tide of the battle."

Jie Jun said, "Three hundred thousand enemy troops are guarding the entrance of the valley, and our army is less than a hundred thousand. We have been starving for two days, so it will be difficult to break out."

King Xiong said: "If we don't break out, will we starve to death here?"

Jie Jun said: "I didn't say I won't break through, I just want to ask you how to break through."

Zhishui said: "Benzhen has figured out the secret of the Xuanyuan Emperor Sword and wants to lead you to break through. Who do you think can resist?"

Ji Jie asked excitedly: "Did Master summon the Azure Dragon?"

Shisui smiled proudly and said, "Master, have you come out of seclusion after three years of seclusion without any gains?"

Ji Jie knelt down and congratulated him, "Congratulations, Master, for your great progress!" Upon hearing this, Xiong Wang and Jie Jun, although they had never seen the Azure Dragon and did not know its power, knew from the expressions of the master and disciple that this must be a mysterious and supreme Taoist method that could defeat the Qin army, so they also stood up to congratulate him.

After Xiong Wang and Jie Jun left, Ji Jie sighed, "If you don't hand over the plague box, I'm afraid Sisi will..."

Zhishui said: "How can you let your love ruin important things? When you conquer the world, how much can you not get?"

"But Sisi is devoted to me, and there is only one of her in my heart, and no one can replace her!"

Shisui shouted, "If you are unwilling to let her go, you will let down your master, your ancestors, and the people of the world."

Ji Jie said with a sad heart: "I know all these things, but I can't even save her, how can I talk about restoring the Great Zhou."

Shisui sighed, "She is indeed a good girl that is hard to find, and she is also a smart person. I believe that if she falls into the hands of the enemy, she will definitely commit suicide and will never drag you down or make things difficult for you. The only thing you can do for her is revenge!"

"Revenge!" Ji Jie said fiercely with tears in his eyes.

The moon was like a hook at midnight, and the valley was silent in the night sky. The lights were on in the tent, and the coffin was opened. Xiao Yuzhen looked at the person inside in disbelief. Ping Qingjue's face had recovered, his skin had regained color, and his chest was slightly heaving.

Xiao Yuzhen stroked Ping Qingjue's face, tears in her eyes, and said in a trembling voice: "Qingjue, Qingjue!"

Shisui smiled at one side and said, "The Holy Mother still doesn't believe in the truth?"

"I believe it, but when will he wake up?"

"He will wake up whenever Our Lady wants him to."

"Now... let Qingjue wake up!"

Zhishui said, "No problem!" He flicked his finger and a stream of true energy hit Ping Qingjue's chest. Ping Qingjue coughed and opened his eyes, a pair of bright eyes.

Xiao Yuzhen excitedly held Ping Qingjue's hand and said, "Qingjue, you really woke up!"

Ping Qingjue looked at Xiao Yuzhen and said, "Yuzhen, where am I, how can I...?"

Xiao Yuzhen cried with joy, "You still remember me, you really still remember me, I thought you didn't remember me!"

"How could I not remember you? You are the only person in this world that I feel sorry for. You are also the one I cannot forget. Only you can bring me back to life."

Hearing this, the joy on Xiao Yuzhen's face disappeared, and it became cold again. She grabbed Ping Qingjue's pulse with her backhand and said, "You are wrong. You will never be resurrected!" As soon as she finished speaking, the dagger pierced into Ping Qingjue's heart.

The people around him were shocked to see this scene. They couldn't believe that Xiao Yuzhen would kill Ping Qingjue, who he had resurrected with great difficulty, but this scene happened. Ji Jie shouted: "Holy Mother, why did you kill Senior Ping? You are not..."

Xiao Yuzhen turned around and looked at Zhishui coldly, her silver hair fluttering. She pointed her bloody sword at Zhishui and asked, "Why did you lie to me?"

Shisui said calmly, "I have done what the Holy Mother asked me to do, so how can it be a lie?"

"He is not Ping Qingjue!"

"These people have seen it, does the Virgin Mary still want to deny it?"

"He does look a lot like Qingjue, even I can't tell them apart, but he's not him. Qingjue would never say that to me. The only thing he can't forget is that bitch, and he committed suicide because no one can kill him!"

"But what if he figured it out?"

"He will never figure it out. If he did, he wouldn't be Qingjue."

Shisui suddenly sneered and said, "Since the Virgin Mary thinks he will never figure it out, then why bother to resurrect him?" This is also a question that many people cannot figure out.

"That's my business. I want to ask you, where did you put Qingjue?"

Zhishui said: "Xiao Yuzhen really deserves the name of the Holy Mother. Benzhen spent a long time searching for the person, and the Holy Mother saw through him after just two sentences. It's a pity that the Holy Mother will never see his body again, because the body has long been rotten and burned by Benzhen."

Xiao Yuzhen trembled all over, in pain as if she had lost her heart. After a long time, she said coldly: "Even if you deceived me, I may not blame you. But you destroyed Qingjue's body, and I will never forgive you!" The temperature in the tent suddenly dropped, and murderous aura filled the air.

Shisui sneered again, "The Holy Mother thinks we can leave here without handing over the Plague Box?"

Xiao Yuzhen also laughed wildly, with only destruction and despair in her eyes, "I don't want to leave here anymore. I just want you and the 300,000 Qin soldiers to be buried with me. It will be so grand, it will surely be unprecedented!" As she spoke, there was a box in her hand, a black skull box.

Now everyone was dumbfounded. This was the result they feared the most. As long as Xiao Yuzhen activated the plague box, they would not have enough time to run away. Many people broke out in cold sweats.

Zhishui said: "Why is the Holy Mother doing this? Love is just a mirage. Can't we as cultivators see through it?"

Xiao Yuzhen said: "You can say that, which means you can't see through it. It is not a mirage. It is the most precious thing in the world. Nothing can replace it. Without it, living in the world is meaningless."

Shisui said: "But even if he is alive, you still can't have him. It's meaningless for you to do this for him."

"Of course people like you think it's meaningless. Loving someone doesn't need to be returned. Qingjue is like this, and so is this palace!"

"Although Ping Qingjue has peerless swordsmanship, he is unable to accomplish anything spectacular. He spends his days indifferent to worldly affairs, trapped by love, and drowning his sorrows in alcohol. How can such a person be worthy of the Virgin Mary?"

Xiao Yuzhen seemed intoxicated, and said with a foolish smile: "I just like the smell of alcohol on him, and the way he doesn't care about anything..." Before she finished her words, Zhishui used his palm as a sword, and a sword edge suddenly appeared, stabbing at Xiao Yuzhen's wrist as fast as lightning.

Although Xiao Yuzhen was prepared, the sword came too fast and it was too late for her to activate the plague box. She could only step back and block with her sword.

The initiative was lost, Zhishui rushed forward, his palms were illusory, and the sword tips were like dense rain piercing at Xiao Yuzhen's vital points. Every strike of the sword was fatal, leaving Xiao Yuzhen no chance to breathe, let alone activate the plague box.

Everyone's heart was in their throat, including the Cangshan disciples, they all hoped that Zhishui could snatch the magic weapon from Xiao Yuzhen's hand, which could take their lives at any time.

'Bang...' Xiao Yuzhen broke through the tent and flew backwards, bleeding from many places on her body. Zhishui followed closely behind her and stabbed Xiao Yuzhen with several sword tips, leaving no room for error.

'Swish...' A ray of silver light pierced out from behind Xiao Yuzhen. The long sword with cold sword intent broke through the sword edge condensed by the true energy and pierced straight into Zhishui's chest.

Zhishui was caught off guard. He didn't expect that he didn't know that there was an enemy outside the tent. In a hurry, he pinched the sword with two fingers, rotated his body, and wrapped the sword around his body. After landing, the powerful internal energy in his body spread out, and the sword was broken into several pieces and flew away.

Zhulang's whole body trembled and he spat out a mouthful of blood. He didn't expect that the cold sword he stabbed with all his strength would be easily broken. Even the sword was shattered. What kind of realm is this?

Although Zhishui broke Zhulang's sword, his body had already stopped. It was too late for him to snatch the plague box from Xiao Yuzhen's hand, as the plague box had already fallen into Wuzhan's hands.

Wuzhan and others had been waiting outside the tent for a long time, but everyone inside the tent was focused on what was happening inside and did not notice that when Xiao Yuzhen rushed out, Wuzhan threw a stone to seal Xiao Yuzhen's acupoints, snatched the plague box in his hand, and casually untied Xiao Yuzhen's acupoints.

Mengya shouted, "Ugly freak, why did you let her go!"

Wuzhan ignored Mengya's words, because Shishui's Xuanyuan Emperor Sword was stabbing towards him. Wuzhan jumped up, dodged the sword's light, and was caught by Lingkongzi who was suspended in the air. Lingkongzi flapped his wings and flew towards the narrow ravine at the foot of the mountain.

Shishui shouted, "Where are you escaping to!" He leaped up and slashed a streak of silver light several meters long towards Lingkongzi. "Bang..." It was blocked by Jinxingzi's fire sword and lost its direction. Jinxingzi flew several meters away and almost fainted.

When Shishui missed his attack, he used the flying technique to chase Wuzhan. Ji Jie rushed out of the tent at this time. It was obvious that it was only a moment. Seeing the sudden change outside the tent, he shouted, "Don't let these people escape!"

King Xiong, Jie Jun and others rushed towards Meng Ya, Zhu Lang and Jin Xingzi. Meng Ya waved her palms and sprinkled out a cloud of smoke, which scared the crowd forward and made them retreat quickly.

Xiao Yuzhen wanted to use the lives of hundreds of thousands of people to fill her empty heart. She had done such a thing before, and now this was the last thing she wanted to do, so her figure chased after Wuzhan who was about to disappear into the night.
