Excessive ferocity due to caution

After ascending to immortality, one is close to sublimation!

Every blade of grass and tree in the world seems like an enemy soldier!

Everything Ren Wudi saw turned into an indestructible sword.

His protective aura was useless!

All my creations are useless!

Even the most advanced... was useless!

The swordsmanship of the Flying Immortals is not of this world; how can it be resisted by human means?

Before our eyes, youth has already faded in an instant.

The aurora borealis dances.

Everything Ren Wudi saw was gradually turning white, transforming into a chaotic light, like a dream.

Everything here moves slowly.

Including Fan Qingxue's sword.

Ren Wudi wondered how long it would take for such a slow and weak sword to reach him.

Even with such a slow sword... he couldn't dodge it.

He can't avoid it.

It wasn't until Fan Qingxue's ultimate sword strike finally reached his brow that Ren Wudi finally realized that this place was no longer the human realm.

This is his spiritual world.

It is his primordial spirit.

Sword Thirteen... does not sever the physical body, but only the primordial spirit!

Death came.

At this moment, Ren Wudi realized that all the magic he had created in the human world was no longer useful.

All that remained was for this sword to pierce his brow.

In this world, Ren Wudi will no longer exist.

"What a fine sword...what a fine sword!"

He sighed.

"To be able to see the sword from the heavens in the mortal realm, I have no regrets in this life..."

Faced with death, Ren Wudi showed no fear whatsoever.

The defeat he seeks is nothing more than a dead end after giving it his all.

Fan Qingxue's sword had already driven him to the brink of despair!

The sword's edge touched Ren Wudi's brow.

If he scores just one more point, Ren Wudi will completely disappear from this world.

But Fan Qingxue did not advance even a fraction further.

Ren Wudi stared directly at the man in white before him, whose clothes were as white as snow:

Why did you sheathe your sword?

Fan Qingxue said:

"So that you owe me a favor."

Ren Wudi squinted:

"Ren never gets involved in江湖恩怨 (jianghu grievances)."

Fan Qingxue asked calmly:

"Then why did you help the King of Qi?"

Ren Wudi remained silent.

Fan Qingxue:

"Once you enter this world of martial arts, how can you possibly leave unscathed?"

Even if you are exceptionally beautiful, even if you are invincible.

Ren Wudi asked:

"What do you want me to do for you?"

Fan Qingxue replied:

"Help me save someone."

"Who?"

"Su Xingcan".

Ren Wudi's eyes gleamed.

"The King of Qi's order to you appears to be to kill him."

Fan Qingxue said calmly:

"He is my friend."

Ren Wudi scoffed:

"Someone like you...does have friends?"

Fan Qingxue:

"Just this one."

Ren Wudi then said:

"Why don't you go yourself?"

Fan Qingxue shook her head:

"Sword Thirteen: Flying Immortal, Ruthless and Fatal. Once this sword is drawn, I am doomed."

Ren Wudi looked away:

"I promise you... but perhaps your worries are unnecessary."

"Su Xingcan is the owner of the Star Gazing Tower. The King of Qi's men in Lu should not be able to kill him."

Fan Qingxue closed her eyes, seemingly very conflicted.

But in the end, he still said it word by word:

"The Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon".

Ren Wudi's eyes suddenly flashed with a sharp light:

"What does that mean?"

Fan Qingxue:

"The King of Qi's Situation".

"He intends to use this opportunity to bury all the heroes of the land alive!"

"After this battle, the martial arts world of the other five kingdoms declined, and their talents dwindled!"

"From this point on... they will no longer be able to withstand the million-strong cavalry of the Qi Kingdom!"

Upon hearing this, Ren Wudi's heart skipped a beat.

He certainly knew that the King of Qi was no ordinary person.

But no one expected that the King of Qi would be so ambitious and ruthless!

After the collapse of the Great Zhou Dynasty, the six states each held their own government, but each had its own strengths and weaknesses.

Although the State of Qi was the most powerful of the six states, it would have to overcome natural barriers or face the united resistance of other states if it wanted to attack other states, making its chances of victory extremely slim.

In order to conquer this land, King Qi made various efforts over the past few decades.

To train various types of armies, talents, and intelligence organizations.

But that's not enough.

He needs another chance.

An opportunity to significantly weaken the national power of other countries!

King Qi knew that someone like him, who was incapable of martial arts, would not live more than a hundred years.

He can't wait.

Therefore, the King of Qi went to great lengths to devise a scheme using the seven constellations of the Azure Dragon.

A scheme that would ensnare and destroy all heroes.

Ren Wudi is a link in this game.

"He used you to kill a group of people at the observatory first..."

"Once they see blood, the eyes of martial artists turn red, and it's too late to stop..."

"In this way, when the secret of the Seven Constellations of the Azure Dragon is 'unraveled' and spread, more people from the martial arts world, and even members of the royal family, will get involved..."

"Did you know... King Qi spent decades building a huge underground mausoleum for them?"

"And the Seven Mansions of the Azure Dragon are the key to unlocking this tomb!"

Ren Wudi's eyes glazed over slightly.

"Why... do you know so much?"

Fan Qingxue closed her eyes.

"because……"

"I was one of the people in charge of building this mausoleum."

"He was also the last person besides King Qi to know this secret."

"That's why he felt uneasy."

"So I must die."

Ren Wudi sighed softly.

"After someone like you dies... the world will be lonely for another hundred years."

The power within Fan Qingxue began to fade.

He has already surpassed the peak of immortality.

It's time to go down the mountain.

"The Qi royal family has a very powerful old eunuch named Wei Xuezhong, who has lived for three hundred years and possesses profound and all-encompassing cultivation!"

"Once the secret of the Azure Dragon's Seven Constellations is revealed, the people of the five kingdoms will all be drawn to that Changling Mausoleum. Wei Xuezhong will then lead his three thousand peerless masters to block the entrance. At that time, all the traps will be activated, Changling Mausoleum will collapse, and there will be lava and fire beneath it..."

"Everyone will be buried inside forever."

"No matter how unparalleled your martial arts skills or how peerless your talent, in the end you will all turn to ashes beneath the earth's fire..."

The more Fan Qingxue spoke, the more Ren Wudi felt a thorn in his back.

Is this... the art of imperial rule?

"In this world, besides you... no one can stop Wei Xuezhong anymore."

"I originally intended to save the Flying Immortal Sword for him, but now it seems..."

Fan Qingxue sighed.

His figure disappeared.

The journey to immortality has ended.

Ren Wudi's primordial spirit has returned.

Fan Qingxue, who had fallen to the ground, was held in Hongyu's arms. She slowly sheathed her broken sword and said weakly and calmly to Ren Wudi:

"I showed you the world's fastest sword, and you've finally tasted the sweetness of defeat..."

"Now...it's time to repay the favor."

Ren Wudi's arrogance subsided, and his expression became clear and bright.

He bowed deeply to Fan Qingxue.

"Mr. Ren...thanks to Mr. Xie for bestowing the sword."

After saying this, Ren Wudi turned and left, like a gentle breeze.

In the cold snow,

A single hot tear suddenly fell onto Fan Qingxue's face.

Fan Qingxue reached out and gently wiped the red fish.

"Sword Thirteen... I won't teach you anymore."

"I feel guilty for teaching you swordsmanship for so many years without being able to give you a better life."

"Don't hate me."

Red Fish tried to keep her lips tightly pressed together, remaining silent.

She simply pressed her face against Fan Qingxue's gradually cooling cheek, tears streaming down her face.

It couldn't be stopped.

"I think I still owe Su Xingcan a drink at Yangchun Tower..."

Fan Qingxue muttered to herself.

The red fish choked back tears:

"I'll pay it back for you..."

Upon hearing this, Fan Qingxue finally closed her eyes.

"Fish...don't go back to Qi."

After saying this, he died.

The cold wind carries away the soul.

Hongyu buried her head in Fan Qingxue's chest and burst into tears.
