I saved the entire sect by playing idly by letting things fall apart.

"What nonsense are you spouting now?"

Ji Huan was puzzled.

Blade & Soul takes human form for love?

He felt that Ye Qiao was joking with him again, after all, she really liked to use words to hurt people's spirits.

"What exactly are you trying to do by throwing away your sword?"

Ye Qiao shrugged, looking very serious: "Sorry, I was just joking. My hand was actually shaking just now."

Ji Huan's lips twitched. "I don't believe you for a second."

If even a spirit sword could fall into someone else's hands, then her hand trembled way too much.

Shadow Sword was a coward; not only she noticed this, but others could also glean some clues from it.

It's clearly an assassination sword, but it's only driven by its owner's emotional fluctuations. Right now, it can only be used to provoke its owner with the Jinghong Sword, since that's its wife. If it wants her, it'll have to go and save her itself.

However, Lueying was a sword that only knew how to kill, so how could he understand these things? He was dumbfounded when he saw Ye Qiao throw away Jinghong.

"Huh??" Lueying cried out anxiously, "Ahhh, Ye Qiao! Where's my wife?"

Where is my wife, who's so old?

"It's in the hands of that heretical cultivator."

"Then hurry up and snatch it back!" Lueying tried to touch Ye Qiao's palm, hoping she would help him get his wife back.

"To be honest, I can't beat him. That means—" Ye Qiao grabbed the Shadow Blade, lowered it down her palm, and whispered to the sword demon, "Shadow Blade, your wife is gone."

My wife is gone...

Gone……

The.

Ahhh. The fleeting image has shattered.

With the Jinghong Sword in his hand, the leader of the evil cultivators laughed wildly, "This sword was delivered to your door by Ye Qiao yourself."

He caused so many people to die, and he still dares to be arrogant. Now let's see how arrogant Ye Qiao can be.

He grabbed the Jinghong Sword and reached out to break it. As the sword bent, the spirit of the Jinghong Sword, which had been falling into the air, frowned in pain as the sword was damaged.

The purple sword spirit then vanished into thin air.

Countless people in the audience gasped.

She's really daring to do something like that.

Sword cultivators are all somewhat extreme, and this is even more evident among all the sword cultivators of the Five Sects. However, Ye Qiao will only take a gamble if she is confident. If she fails, it will be within her acceptable range.

Seeing this, Fang Zhiyao winked at Ye Qiao.

Ye Qiao blinked back.

Duan Hengdao asked suspiciously, "Are you two exchanging glances?" His face was full of suspicion that they were having an affair.

Ye Qiao shoved his head down, saying, "Mind your own business."

As the Jinghong Sword vanished before his eyes, the man was extremely pleased with himself. He did not break the sword immediately, since it could be used to threaten Ye Qiao. A broken sword would be of no use.

Seeing the spirit of the Startling Sword dissipate, Ye Qiao's expression turned cold. The Crescent Crossbow landed in her palm, and she raised her hand to grip the crossbow, firing three arrows simultaneously.

The arrow left only a cold flash in the air, splitting into three positions before disappearing into the crowd.

A chaotic battle is about to break out.

The three weapon cultivators of Chengfeng Sect were protected by Qin Huai and Ji Huan, while the five talisman cultivators could only rely on their own efforts to survive the gang attack by the evil cultivators.

Mingxuan really wanted to shout, "Living is so damn hard!"

It's unbelievable that they get to suffer such a terrible fate.

Ye Qiao and Ming Xuan stood back to back. She gripped the Shadow Sword tightly, and with a flick of the tip, the sword shadows formed gusts of wind, forcing back the enemies. Ming Xuan was responsible for providing cover for her. Sword cultivators and talisman cultivators always worked well together, but when talisman cultivators cooperated with each other, they could only passively defend.

The four talisman cultivators from the Moon Purity Sect stood together, cutting off the battlefield. The formation created a barrier that blocked the repeated attacks from the evil cultivators for a short period of time.

Blocking them like this isn't a solution.

Song Hansheng's expression was icy: "When will that group be able to lure the demon kings over?"

Let the demon kings fight these evil cultivators; they simply can't handle so many of them.

Ye Qiao: "Let's stall for time and wait for the demon kings to arrive."

The fog in the Cloud Mist Valley is poisonous. Because they had swallowed pills beforehand, their movements were not affected. However, some of the evil cultivators who did not have enough pills to replenish their supplies had already begun to lose their minds. What Ye Qiao and the others had to do was to try their best to delay the time.

What made Ye Qiao feel troubled was the evil cultivator who was in charge.

The opponent's realm was very stable. Below the peak of the Golden Core realm, he appeared much more experienced, and his sword could overpower Qin Huai.

You must know, that's Qin Huai, the chief disciple of Chengfeng Sect, and he's at least in the top three in swordsmanship.

However, being completely dominated by the other party, Qin Huai felt extremely aggrieved. The young man coldly pursed his lips, and judging from his expression, it was clear how difficult the leader of the evil cultivators was to deal with.

The dark, unidentified gas surrounding the evil cultivator was wrapped around his wrist. When Ye Qiao's sword was taken by him, it was partly intentional on her part, and partly because she was caught off guard.

Ye Qiao narrowed her eyes, "If he leaves the secret realm and there is no suppression of his realm, what realm do you think he would normally be?" Even the two right protectors of the demon race did not give her this sense of danger.

Qin Huai speculated, "Perhaps he is in the Void Refinement stage."

He turned his head to look at Ye Qiao, confidently stating, "His cultivation level is definitely no lower than yours."

"..."

Ye Qiao immediately wanted to curse. Her voice turned cold. "Then kill him in the secret realm." Otherwise, once they leave the secret realm, without its suppression, a mere Void Refinement Realm cultivator is enough to make them stand out in the cultivation world. With a difference of one major realm, they would be completely powerless to fight back.

They'll be the ones who die then.

"clear."

Qin Huai was naturally aware of the seriousness of the matter. Of the twelve elders in their sect, only one was at the Refinement of Void Realm, and that elder had been in seclusion for a long time without disturbing him.

It's no exaggeration to say that for someone at the Refinement of Void realm, crushing them is easier than crushing ants.

Ye Qiao heard that the other party was suspected to be at the Refinement of Void realm. She wanted to take advantage of the fact that they were both at the Golden Core stage to test his strength and draw her sword.

"I'll go with you." Ji Huanjian spun around in his palm and moved behind the man.

Both figures turned their swords simultaneously.

Two green sword energies overlapped, their power astonishing, yet the man calmly curled his lips into a smile, "Is this all you've got?"

He raised his hand and waved it, and the thick black mist suddenly tightened around the two sword energies. Under the absolute and powerful suppression, the two sword energies struggled for only a moment before the originally ferocious sword energies were easily dissolved.

"Holy crap!" Duan Hengdao exclaimed in surprise, "What's his background? How come Ye Qiao can't handle him?"

"Clearly, he is at a higher level than Ye Qiao, and his swordsmanship is also more advanced."

The difference between someone with less than five years of sword-wielding experience and someone who may have studied swordsmanship for decades or even centuries is too great.

"Does this fog have absolutely no effect on him?"

Shen Ziwei was suspicious.

"It definitely had an impact; his emotions were all off."

The mist in Cloud Mist Valley can cause confusion, but this evil cultivator clearly has amazing perseverance. Apart from being agitated, he is unaffected when he starts fighting.

Ye Qiao stepped firmly on the tip of his sword and delivered a flying kick. The man flung her away with his sword, and in the instant she was swept away, Ye Qiao unleashed the fifth move of the Qingfeng Technique, slashing her in the waist.

The Gentle Breeze Technique, a Heavenly Grade Sword Technique.

He absolutely cannot avoid this move!

Seeing that he couldn't avoid it, the evil cultivator raised the corner of his lips and actually used the Jinghong Sword to block in front of him. The sharp sword sound made the Lueying Sword tremble violently, and the sword was forced to deviate from its previous trajectory.

"Hahahaha." Seeing the sword deflect, the man laughed maniacally: "I heard that evil cultivator say your name is Ye Qiao? So your name is Ye Qiao?"

He didn't know who Ye Qiao was, but that didn't diminish the man's mocking glee.

Other heretical practitioners also joined in the laughter.

The sharp sarcasm made Song Hansheng frown. "You laugh like a duck."

"..."
