The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

The woman leaned against the window frame, her curves graceful, holding a gleaming longsword in one hand and a jade-white wine pot in the other.

The moonlight shone on her, casting a misty shadow over her. She seemed to have become a part of the soft moonlight, and with just a gentle breath, she would float straight up to the Jade Palace.

Xu Ruogu had never seen this woman before, but she recognized her at a glance.

Because the woman's eyes were covered by a distinctive thick black cloth.

When this woman first entered the martial arts world, many people admired her and tried to imitate her style.

But after she fought her way from Jingzhou to Sichuan, no one dared to imitate her anymore, for fear of being mistaken for someone else and suffering the consequences.

"An Qingwan".

Xu Ruogu narrowed his eyes.

An Qingwan smiled and said, "The sect leader said he wanted wine, so I brought you some."

With a gentle flick of her white boots, two small porcelain cups seemed to float into the night sky.

Then, the wine pot was tilted, and the fine wine inside was poured precisely into the cup.

An Qingwan put down the wine pot and gently pushed it with her right hand, sending one of the cups flying to Xu Ruogu's side.

Xu Ruogu took the wine glass, but did not drink it.

She just stared, staring at An Qingwan's hands and feet.

She stared, not because An Qingwan's hands and feet were pretty—what could you tell from hands and feet covered by boots and gloves?

She could tell that An Qingwan's kung fu was extraordinary.

When pouring the wine, An Qingwan's hand did not touch the glass at all. To ordinary people, this would be an amazing move, but to her, it was even more exquisite.

Without touching it with his hands or feet, the wine glass floated steadily in the air, remaining as stable as a mountain even when wine was poured in. Isn't this the realm of controlling objects?

Xu Ruogu held the wine glass, beads of sweat unconsciously seeping from his body.

How did you know I was here?

An Qingwan said, "I spotted you by chance while watching the Moon Goddess parade on the long street."

Xu Ruogu was taken aback.

She was holding her breath and standing in the shadows, so how could An Qingwan have discovered her?

Besides, An Qingwan should never have met her before, so how could she know that she was Hua Shangren of the Yinji Sect?

Is An Qingwan some kind of celestial being, able to recognize who is who with just a glance?

Xu Ruogu then asked, "We are strangers to each other, yet you have come to deliver wine today. What is the meaning of this?"

An Qingwan said, "I don't know you, but I have an unusually good relationship with your most outstanding disciple, Sikong Tingxue."

Xu Ruogu suddenly realized something.

"So, Tingxue followed you and left Lingnan, heading north all the way?"

She left the Yinji Sect this time to pursue Sikong Tingxue.

An Qingwan said, "That's right."

With a snap, Xu Ruogu crushed the wine glass in his hand into dust, and the wine in the glass suddenly turned into a cloud of white mist.

It really was you.

You're the one who kidnapped Sikong Tingxue!

It was you who gradually made Sikong Tingxue slip out of my control!

It was you who toyed with Sikong Tingxue's feelings, causing her to reach a state of selflessness!

Xu Ruogu's killing intent began to boil, but she did not make a move immediately because she could not see through An Qingwan's true intentions.

"Where is Tingxue now? Tell her to come see me!"

An Qingwan said, "From now on, she will not come to see you again."

Xu Ruogu sneered, "I am her master. She disobeys me and comes to see me. Does she want to betray her sect?"

An Qingwan said, "It's true that you are her master, but you are also the enemy who killed her parents. After she learned the truth, she was already heartbroken, so why would she come to see you?"

Xu Ruogu's face immediately darkened: "What nonsense are you spouting?"

An Qingwan said, "There's no point in making excuses anymore. Since I'm here today, it means I already know the truth. Otherwise, why would I have come? And why would Miss Sikong have sent me?"

Xu Ruogu asked, "She sent you. What are you here for?"

An Qingwan said, "I'm here to kill you!"

Xu Ruogu was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter: "She wants to kill her master? Just because she heard some rumors from somewhere, she wants to team up with you, an outsider, to kill her master? Haha, I really didn't expect that after all these years, I would have raised such an ungrateful wretch!"

An Qingwan shook her head and said, "Yan Shizheng did nothing wrong. He didn't love you. He had already made it clear to you, leaving you no room for doubt. But even so, he was still cruelly murdered by you. I never understood why you did this before. I could only guess that you did it because of love turned to hate."

Xu Ruogu said, "I don't know any Master Yan."

An Qingwan said to herself, "But after hearing what you said to Jin Fo just now, I understand everything. You killed Yan Shizheng and his wife, and you even wanted to take Sikong Tingxue back to Yinji Sect to raise as a disciple. It wasn't because of any lustful hatred."

Xu Ruogu: "..."

An Qingwan said, "You killed them because they didn't satisfy you and didn't listen to you!"

Xu Ruogu: "..."

An Qingwan said, "Miss Sikong once told me that she was the proudest and most insecure person. She wanted to place her world above everyone else's and make everyone bow down at her feet. Looking back now, Miss Sikong was actually only insecure. All her pride was a facade. But you are different. You really are the kind of person she described."

“You think you are unique in the world, you think everyone in the world should revolve around you, you think that anyone or anything you fancy should be yours, and you think that anyone who dares to disobey you deserves to die. That’s why you killed Yan Shizheng and his wife, and why you said those things to Jin Fo.”

"I imagine you were still furious after killing Yan Shizheng and his wife. They are dead, but did you win? Not at all, because they never submitted to you until their deaths. So, you deliberately spared Miss Sikong's life and brought her back to the Yin-Yang Sect, making her call you 'Master.' Only in this way could you feel the thrill of trampling Yan Shizheng and his wife under your feet!"

“Someone like you would be sent to see a doctor in the place where I used to live, and might even be locked up for treatment.”

Xu Ruogu let out a long sigh: "I thought you could say something, but it turns out it's just this kind of story. See a doctor? It's you, the blind man, who needs to see a doctor!"

An Qingwan suddenly said, "Five breaths later, your right palm will suddenly strike me."

This statement came out of nowhere and had no connection to the previous topic.

But just that one sentence made Xu Ruogu's body suddenly freeze, and his right hand began to tremble uncontrollably.

"you……"

An Qingwan said, "Whether you admit it or not, you have no secrets from me. I have seen through everything about you!"

Just as Xu Ruogu was about to make a move, An Qingwan's voice rang out first.

"Two breaths later, right foot. This time your internal energy is like withered wood, full of decaying energy. But when it reaches the Gongsun acupoint, it will change from decay to spring, like withered wood coming back to life. It turns out you have already learned the 'Withered Wood Classic', but you told Miss Sikong that you did not know it at all."

Xu Ruogu took a sudden step back, sweat pouring down his face: "How did you know?"

An Qingwan said, "You and Yue Shangren both cultivate the 'Withered Wood Scripture,' but you are different. Yue Shangren is meticulous and skilled in calculation, so the withered wood internal force he refines is extremely resilient in the details, but it lacks the breaking force of withered wood coming back to life. On the other hand, you are arrogant and fiery. The withered wood internal force you refine does not focus on the details, but on the instantaneous burst when killing. Practicing the 'Withered Wood Scripture' in this way has completely deviated from the original meaning of the 'Withered Wood Scripture.' This is why you are struggling to find a breakthrough and why you are struggling to find your own path to becoming a Grandmaster!"

Boom!

Xu Ruogu stomped his foot down.

The earth cracked, houses collapsed, and dust and beams fell down. Of the four high walls, only the one where An Qingwan sat remained as solid as a rock.

She could no longer suppress her anger.

"An Qingwan, do you really think you're a goddess or a fairy, daring to speak to me like that?"

An Qingwan remained calm and composed.

The rolling dust, gravel, and beams couldn't touch her at all.

"I am certainly not a goddess, much less a fairy descended to earth. I only recently killed the Wind God and the Moon God. Do you think I can talk to you like that?"

She stood up.

He stood up from the window frame and onto the room's floor, which was shattered like a spiderweb.

She just stood there.

Her aura grew stronger and stronger, like a mountain about to collapse, pressing down from all directions.

However, this was still not An Qingwan's limit.

Xu Ruogu clearly sensed that An Qingwan's aura was still rising, seemingly without limit. She had only ever seen such a terrifying aura from a Grandmaster.

But today, she saw it in An Qingwan, a young man who was not even twenty years old.

The moon had gradually moved to the center, but Xu Ruogu could no longer see it; her eyes were now only on An Qingwan.

It wasn't that she wanted to see An Qingwan, but rather that under that terrifying, tidal wave-like aura, she could only see An Qingwan; everything around her seemed to be swallowed up by that aura.

Xu Ruogu's hair stood on end, and his muscles involuntarily tensed up to the point that he began to feel pain.

"you……"

She felt a dryness in her throat.

She felt fear and unease.

She finally managed to squeeze out the words.

"So you've already become a Grandmaster?"

The wind has died down.

The moon has also darkened.

Even withered trees will never see spring again.

An Qingwan smiled nonchalantly.

Is she a grandmaster?

Yes, no.

The martial arts she practiced were actually different from those of this world.

Now, her inner strength is so profound that it has already surpassed that of any top master in the world.

Even those who practice internal energy cultivation techniques like the Demon Absorption Technique, which absorb the power of others, would never match her in terms of inner strength.

The absorbed internal energy will eventually be wasted and will be difficult to integrate. However, although she possesses dozens of fully-level internal energy techniques, they are perfectly integrated, which is truly astonishing.

Her spirit and energy have long surpassed any top master in the world.

The bonuses provided by the Emperor's Aura Observation Technique are beyond imagination.

Her control over Qi is usually at a level that only a grandmaster can achieve.

Her control and mastery of herself surpassed that of any other top expert in the world.

From these perspectives, An Qingwan can be considered a grandmaster.

But she's still a little short.

That point is how to completely unify one's energy and spirit, achieving true mastery over one's own body!

Once she has achieved this, she will have walked her own "path".

At that time, she can truly call herself a grandmaster.

At that time, she will be able to unleash the full power of this body.

However, although An Qingwan is not yet considered a Grandmaster in the conventional sense in this world, it doesn't matter.

Even if Xu Ruogu was hiding his strength, it would be more than enough to kill him!

P.S.: Thank you to 彼岸花～开 for the donation, and thank you to Yuceee, 安昙璃纱, and 彼岸花～开 for the razor blades.

The death of Xu Ruogu, 126, was achieved through wielding a sword with qi! [4k]

An Qingwan did not reply.

Xu Ruogu had already tacitly acknowledged that An Qingwan was a Grandmaster.

She could no longer control her fear.

The Yin-Yang Sect has Grandmasters, and her long-lost master is one of them.

That's why she understands far better than most martial arts practitioners how difficult it is to deal with a Grandmaster.

When a Grandmaster is at his peak, there is absolutely no way she can defeat him.

She had no choice but to run away.
