I don't want to be trained by my senior sister!

"Buzz—!"

A streak of cyan sword energy shot straight toward Fang Xuan's face.

Fang Xuan did not take the blow head-on, but instead drew his black sword to block it.

"boom!"

The sword energy collided with the black sword, producing a loud bang.

The enormous impact was not completely neutralized; instead, it propelled Fang Xuan upwards, slamming him heavily against the thick ice layer at the top of the cave.

The ice shattered upon impact, sending ice shards flying everywhere.

At almost the same moment, Ning Qian also moved.

She lightly touched the ground with her feet, followed the opening created by the ice cave, and emerged onto the snow-capped mountain.

Then, just as Fang Xuan was about to land, she reached out her arm and caught him steadily, holding him in her arms.

Fang Xuan: "......."

.....

Shen Chen's female form followed him out. He stopped talking and made a fist with one hand.

The howling snow outside the cave seemed to be summoned by an invisible force, condensing into countless crystal-clear ice swords.

With a flick of his wrist, the rain poured down on the two of them like a torrential downpour of pear blossoms.

As soon as Fang Xuan stepped down from Ning Qian's arms, she rushed forward like an arrow.

Without using any spiritual power, he simply flicked his wrist, and the sword intent condensed between his fingers traced a path.

The ice swords at the forefront shattered instantly, turning into countless ice crystals.

These ice crystals did not dissipate; instead, they quickly condensed in front of Ning Qian, transforming into an ice and snow sword exuding a chilling sword intent.

Holding an ice sword, she moved with the sword, transforming into a fleeting white shadow as she weaved through the dense rain of ice swords.

"Using the momentum to transform?!" Shen Chen's voice, filled with shock and anger, rang out.

This is clearly the kind of performance that comes from using sword intent at an extremely high level! Ning Qian may be very talented, but how could she possibly achieve this?!

Fang Xuan also took a step forward at the same time, his figure as fast as lightning, delivering a simple and direct diagonal slash.

The seven or eight ice swords that came towards them shattered into dust instantly, as if they had hit an invisible iron wall.

The black sword continued its momentum, slashing straight at Shen Chen!

Shen Chen's expression changed slightly; she hadn't expected Fang Xuan's swordplay to be so ruthless and domineering.

He lightly touched the ground with his foot and retreated rapidly to the side and back, at the same time drawing a long, blue-green sword and holding it horizontally in front of him.

"clang--!!!"

The black sword clashed fiercely with the spiritual energy longsword!

Instead of the expected bursts of inspiration, there was only a dull, resounding crash, like the striking of an ancient bell, that shook the entire snow-capped mountain.

Shen Chen felt an unparalleled force emanating from the sword, causing his tiger's mouth to tremble violently.

The longsword's light dimmed instantly, and the person flew backward uncontrollably, their feet carving two deep furrows in the ground!

What kind of monster is this power?!

Before he could even regain his footing, a cold sword light had already followed him like a leech!

It is Ningxian.

She had somehow broken through the barrier of the remaining ice swords, and the longsword in her hand, formed from shattered ice crystals, was aimed directly at Shen Chen's heart.

"You're courting death!" Shen Chen roared, hastily abandoning his sword. His left hand glowed with a dense blue light as he used the control of a Golden Core cultivator over spiritual power to grab Ning Qian's sword tip.

He was confident that even though this body was only at the early stage of the Void Core realm, with his experience and the strength of his soul, it would not be difficult for him to catch this sword with his bare hands.

"puff!"

The sword tip pierced the palm with a bluish light, making a sound like piercing leather.

Shen Chen tightened his grip on Ning Qian's sword, actually managing to hold it firmly.

The sword trembled, the ice crystals shattered, but it could not advance even an inch further.

But just as he grabbed Ning Qian's sword tip, he caught a glimpse of Fang Xuan's figure appearing to his side.

Another sword strike, still a simple, unadorned diagonal slash.

But the force gathered by this sword was heavier and more powerful than before!

Wherever the sword passed, the air vibrated with an unbearable strain.

Shen Chen's pupils suddenly contracted!

He had just grabbed Ning Qian's sword, his old strength was gone and new strength had not yet been generated, so he had no time to block the sword!

He had no choice but to make the most ruthless one—

We'll tough it out!

He suddenly twisted his body, avoiding the main trajectory of Fang Xuan's sword to his vital areas, such as his chest and abdomen.

At the same time, he joined his right fingers like a sword, gathering the remaining spiritual power to attack Shang Xuan's throat, intending to exchange injury for life.

"laugh--!"

But Fang Xuan's black sword fell first.

The sword grazed Shen Chen's left shoulder, and blood spurted out instantly, staining his white dress and the crystal-clear ice surface red.

The terrifying force not only cleaved through flesh and bones, but also sent Shen Chen flying sideways, crashing heavily into the mountain wall, shattering the ice.

The finger he desperately aimed at Fang Xuan's throat was easily dodged by Fang Xuan, leaving only a shallow bloodstain on the side of his neck.

Almost at the same time that Shen Chen crashed into the ice wall, Ning Qian immediately unleashed several sword energies.

The sword energy struck Shen Chen, instantly turning him into a bloody mess.

"Wow--!"

The female body controlled by Shen Chen coughed up a mouthful of blood, and her aura instantly weakened.

But the resentment in his eyes had reached its peak.

To be forced to this point by two juniors working together, as a peak Golden Core cultivator, is an utter disgrace!

The remaining spiritual energy around him surged violently.

Another cyan sword aura rapidly condensed in his palm, causing the space around it to slightly distort.

He's going to start working incredibly hard.

But he had only just raised his arm, the sword energy about to be unleashed—

A fist rapidly enlarged before his eyes.

Fang Xuancai wouldn't give Shen Chen a chance to unleash his ultimate move. He closed in directly and punched Shen Chen's face, which was contorted with rage.

"Bang!!!"

Shen Chen felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and his nose bridge collapsed.

The sword energy that had just condensed halfway dissipated instantly, and the person was also sent flying backward by the punch.

It was deeply embedded in the ice wall, making me see stars.

"You...!" He was about to roar, trying to regain control of his body.

"Bang!"

Another punch landed on the same spot.

Shen Chen's head was knocked to one side, and his ears were ringing.

What the hell is this fighting style? What kind of swordsman would leave their sword unused and just punch someone in the face!

"Ah...!" He was unwilling and still wanted to struggle, trying to detonate the remaining spiritual power in this body, even if it meant mutual destruction.

"Bang!"

The third punch was heavier and more vicious.

A "crack" sound came from Shen Chen's neck, her head tilted to one side at an abnormal angle, and blood gushed from her mouth.

His head was knocked to the side.

Although this body is only at the early stage of the Void Core realm, with a wisp of Shen Chen's soul guarding it and driving the sword technique, it will definitely be able to unleash the strength of the late stage of the Void Core realm!

How could he be beaten so utterly powerless by a mere mid-stage Void Core cultivator in such an almost humiliating manner?!

Fang Xuan didn't care what he was thinking.

Looking at the other person's crooked neck and unfocused eyes, he frowned slightly.

"So hard?" he muttered.

But his hands never stopped moving.

A hand grabbed Shen Chen's head again and slammed it down onto a small, protruding ice rock hill beside her!

As the ice and rock shattered, Shen Chen's struggles grew weaker and weaker.

Fang Xuan smashed the person in his hand seven or eight times, and when he felt that the person in his hand was about to stop moving, he stopped slightly and lifted him up.

Shen Chen's female body was now unrecognizable, and her breath was weak.

Only the deepest resentment in his eyes still burned.

He knew that the container was nearing its limit, and his own fragmented soul was also severely damaged.

But they lost... and lost so thoroughly, so miserably!

Resentment consumed his last shred of reason.

"Let's die together!!!"

He used his last bit of strength, and the phantom image of that initial stage of the nascent core suddenly appeared.

He's going to self-destruct!

Even if we can't kill these two people, we must severely injure them and destroy the jade marrow in this cave so that they can't gain any benefit!

In any case, it was just a vessel and a wisp of a soul. Although the losses were heavy, the original body was still there.

Ning Qian's expression changed, and she instantly saw through Shen Chen's intention.

She immediately flashed in front of Fang Xuan, and once again conjured an ice sword in her hand, preparing to forcefully defend herself.

Fang Xuan was faster than her.

When he sensed that the spiritual energy within Shen Chen's body was beginning to reverse wildly, his eyes turned cold, and he immediately released his grip on the other's head.

Pulling his right fist back, he concentrated all his spiritual power into the tip of his fist.

Aiming at Shen Chen's dantian, where the light was growing brighter, he unleashed a punch.

As he threw the punch, he held the black sword horizontally.

"Yun Chang, protect me."

"boom--!!!!!"

The sound of the explosion echoed across the snow-covered plains.

At this moment, the essence, blood, and spiritual power of the cultivator in the early stage of the Void Core realm, as well as a portion of the divine soul power contained in a wisp of Shen Chen's divided soul, were fully released.

The ground is cracked with fissures.

The violent spiritual energy slammed into the black sword's blade.

However, the torrent of spiritual energy, which was enough to severely injure or even kill an ordinary late-stage Void Core cultivator, remained completely still when it struck the sword.

At least from Fang Xuan and Ning Qian's perspective, behind the black sword, everything was calm and still, without even a ripple of spiritual energy penetrating through.

Only in front of the sword was the scene of an explosion that destroyed everything.

The black sword hovered there silently, clearly separating destruction from peace...
