The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

But can she really escape from An Qingwan's clutches?

An Qingwan is indeed blind, but she is by no means an ordinary blind person.

How could a blind person who could easily see through her thoughts and predict her moves be an ordinary blind person?

But no matter how little confidence she had, Xu Ruogu was still going to give it a try.

Of course, she didn't want to die here like this.

She has a bright future ahead of her.

Although Feng Shangren and Yue Shangren are dead, Master is about to return, and the Yinji Sect has a bright future.

Therefore, she absolutely cannot die.

She must live; only by living can she seek revenge on those two scoundrels, An Qingwan and Sikong Tingxue, in the future.

Amidst the swirling dust, Xu Ruogu suddenly pressed down with both feet.

This is the supreme supernatural power in the "Withered Wood Sutra". When practiced to a high level, one can turn all the soil in the world into one's own.

Xu Ruogu knew that she had no chance of succeeding in attacking An Qingwan head-on, so she planned to use a sneaky trick, sinking her inner strength into the ground beneath her feet to summon thousands of soil to attack and kill An Qingwan.

She wasn't stupid; she naturally knew that such a move couldn't possibly kill a Grandmaster.

Therefore, this soil was actually used to delay An Qingwan's progress.

She believed that as long as she could escape to a distance of several dozen feet, she would definitely be able to escape alive.

An Qingwan was, after all, blind.

Even with her extraordinary perception, it would be no easy task for An Qingwan to find her among the millions of people in the capital after she had fled dozens of feet away.

However, just as his inner strength was about to be unleashed, Xu Ruogu suddenly saw An Qingwan wave her right palm.

In an instant, a chilling energy surged through her heart and into her meridians.

She realized something was wrong and quickly tried to circulate her internal energy to neutralize the strange internal force. However, the icy internal force had no effect, while her own internal force crumbled upon contact and dissipated instantly.

The next moment, the icy internal energy shot into her dantian like an arrow. With just a gentle stir, it caused her abdomen to ache, and the internal energy flowing in her meridians changed direction.

With this change of direction, the moves she used earlier also changed.

The earth suddenly cracked open, and sharp spikes formed from the soil burst forth.

The spikes were meant to pierce An Qingwan's feet, but instead they were aimed directly at Xu Ruogu.

In fact, with Xu Ruogu's strength, avoiding such an attack would not have been difficult; she could have used her internal energy to block it. However, she never expected things to turn out this way, so naturally she didn't think about dodging or blocking it.

As a result, the spike easily pierced her shoes and socks, creating a deep ravine on her right ankle, exposing the bone.

"how did you do that?"

Xu Ruogu was shocked and, enduring the pain, leaped backward at lightning speed.

An Qingwan, however, was like a ghost, maintaining a distance of two zhang from her no matter how she dodged and weaved.

"This is the ultimate supernatural power I have come to understand."

This is actually the function of the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique.

Since the Emperor's Qi Observation Technique can see through an opponent's method of circulating qi, it can naturally be used to counter it in a targeted manner.

This restraint has internal and external aspects.

The so-called "outside" refers to using a move that counters the opponent in advance, preventing the opponent from gaining the upper hand and instead trapping them in a cage.

The term "internal force" refers to injecting internal energy into the opponent's body to disrupt their flow of qi. This can, at best, interrupt the opponent's moves, and at worst, force the opponent to use other moves.

However, one must restrain oneself from within; otherwise, it is impossible to succeed unless the user's internal strength is overwhelmingly superior to that of the opponent.

An Qingwan's internal strength naturally far surpassed Xu Ruogu's.

Seeing that An Qingwan was unwilling to elaborate and did not immediately kill her, Xu Ruogu knew that An Qingwan was probably toying with her, and her hatred deepened.

As she fled to a courtyard in the Moon Lord's mansion where miscellaneous items were piled up, she suddenly stopped. Her clothes shimmered, and she seemed to transform into countless points of light before disappearing from sight.

The instant she disappeared, four jets of water shot into the sky from the water tanks placed in the four corners of the courtyard.

The four jets of water were as thick as leaping pythons, rushing straight towards An Qingwan, who was standing in the center of the courtyard.

But just as the water jet was about to hit An Qingwan, a bizarre scene unfolded.

Time seemed to freeze, and space seemed to stand still.

The four water jets all stopped about a foot away from An Qingwan.

like a statue.

It neither twisted nor deformed, nor fell; it simply floated in the air.

The bright moonlight shone on the water column, turning it into a dazzling glass-like color.

Looking through this glass, An Qingwan unconsciously exuded an aura of immortality.

Hidden in the shadows, Xu Ruogu watched this scene in shock.

When she first met An Qingwan, she already knew that An Qingwan's control over her internal energy had reached an extremely high level.

But seeing this scene now, she realized that she had underestimated An Qingwan.

What she unleashed was no ordinary water column; it was a water column condensed with a massive amount of celestial water internal energy, powerful enough to pierce through mountains and shatter metal, an indestructible water column.

However, such a water column couldn't even touch An Qingwan.

An Qingwan stretched out her hand and kneaded the water from a distance. The four water columns seemed to suddenly turn into clay, flowing freely in her "palm" and constantly changing shape. Finally, they transformed into a "giant sword".

The "giant sword" fell from the sky, slashing towards Xu Ruogu's hiding place.

The ghosts in Xu Ruo Valley were greatly disturbed.

This sword is too big, and too evil.

There was no way to hide; she could only fight back with all her might.

In the blink of an eye, Xu Ruogu unleashed a series of palm strikes.

The palm strike flew several feet, easily knocking down the courtyard wall, but when it hit the "giant sword," it only created a ripple.

Fortunately, Xu Ruogu was prepared. She let out a sharp cry, and in an instant, countless streams of mud and water surged out, swirling around her and forming two sturdy suits of armor.

Boom!

The "giant sword" crashed into the earth armor, shattering it, but its momentum didn't diminish as it struck the water armor.

In an instant, both the "giant sword" and the water armor exploded into a shower of water droplets.

"Alright, now's the time!"

Xu Ruogu turned to run away, but out of the corner of his eye, a white shadow suddenly appeared.

The white figure reached out and pulled out a slender, gleaming water sword from the shower of water droplets.

sword!

An Qingwan was originally a swordswoman, but when she grasped this sword that suited her body shape, her aura instantly changed.

It became sharp and indifferent.

The surrounding environment has also changed.

It grew cold and lifeless.

One sword, two swords, three swords...

As the sword thrusts out more and more, Xu Ruogu grew increasingly panicked. The sweat on her body even froze into ice, and the frost covering her brows and eyes made her look as if she were already dead.

dead.

She is probably going to die.

Now that things have come to this, Xu Ruogu has realized that this must be the Fifteen Deadly Swords that An Qingwan used to defeat Yu Miaozhen.

She could clearly feel that what An Qingwan thrust out was not a sword, but a flower, a flower that was gradually blooming.

But what's the point?

Xu Ruogu tried desperately to dodge, but no matter what she did, she couldn't escape An Qingwan's sword strikes.

The glittering water sword wove a large net, completely enclosing her.

When the fourteenth sword finally fell, and when the fifteenth sword finally thrust out, in an instant, Xu Ruo Valley felt an even more terrifying silence.

It was absolute silence.

That was absolute stillness.

Even she couldn't escape this stillness.

All she could see was the water sword in An Qingwan's hand, a sword that seemed to have turned into a venomous snake, a sword that terrified anyone who saw it.

Is this the Sword of Death?

Xu Ruogu felt unprecedented fear and pain.

Is she really going to die like this?

She was the sect leader of the Yin Yang Sect, someone destined for boundless wealth and power, someone who would rise above everyone else. How could she have died here?

However, no matter how unwilling or terrified Xu Ruogu was, there was nothing she could do now.

She could only watch the sword, watching An Qingwan thrust it forward.

brake!

The sword thrust out.

It pierced through Xu Ruogu's body, and it also pierced through the still world.

The world has come alive again.

An Qingwan pulled out the water sword, which suddenly disintegrated and scattered on the ground.

Xu Ruogu collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the disintegrating water sword and his own shattered dantian.

She didn't die. That sword strike didn't kill her; it only destroyed her dantian and severed one of her arms.

She knew that this wasn't because she was clever; it was because An Qingwan had deliberately spared her life.

An Qingwan said coldly, "Are you still so arrogant? Do you still think you can be above everyone else?"

Xu Ruogu did not respond for a moment because she had not yet reacted.

It took her quite a while to finally understand the situation.

There are indeed methods to repair the dantian in this world, and there are indeed wondrous internal energy cultivation methods that do not rely on the dantian. But can she really obtain those methods?

All she knows is that she's now useless.

She may never be able to practice martial arts again in her life.

A tear suddenly slid down Xu Ruogu's cheek; for him, this was more painful than death.

She's almost gone mad.

She yelled.

"That's not my fault, it's just that Yan Shizheng is blind! Who am I? I favored him, and he dared to refuse me. Not only did he refuse me, but he also showed affection for his ugly junior sister right in front of me. If he doesn't die, who will?"

"Yan Shizheng's daughter is also a bastard. I cared for her so much, I raised her so well, I told her to stay on the island and not go out for the time being, and how did she treat me? She ran off with you, you vixen, what a pair of adulterous sluts!"

Oh?

Have I become a demoness?

An Qingwan faced the madman Xu Ruogu, who had now turned to cursing the other three of the four masters of the Yinji Sect, his curses still as vile as ever.

She said coldly, "Do you know why I didn't kill you with one sword just now?"

Xu Ruogu swept away the messy hair that had fallen across his forehead, his eyes flashing like a fierce ghost: "You're not going to kill me, aren't you just going to torture me? Hahaha!"

An Qingwan said, "I was just waiting for you to admit it yourself. I actually had no evidence to prove that Yan Shizheng and his wife died at your hands. Now, you've finally said it."

Xu Ruogu's body stiffened.

She suddenly turned her head away.

She heard a sound, very slow footsteps, very unsteady footsteps, footsteps she had heard for nearly twenty years.
