Great Immortal With Boundless Mana

Chapter 234: Drawing the Sword

Under the steady illumination of the green spiritual light, the faces of several people in the underground cave were tinged with a hint of green.

The light effect was like the cheap green light used in horror movies, and the smirking Shui Yuying looked somewhat sinister and eerie, like a female ghost ready to devour someone.

Beside her, Yin Lihua had a cold and gloomy expression on her beautiful face, and her temperament also resembled that of a female ghost.

Gao Xian ignored Shui Yuying and said to Yin Lihua, "Fellow Daoist, I have no grudges or grievances with you. What is the meaning behind your scheme against me?"

Yin Lihua coldly stared at Gao Xian without saying a word.

Instead, Gao Xian laughed, "I understand now. I am a person with a generous and virtuous character, and I never harm others. However, I am also clear about right and wrong. If someone harms me, I will not be polite either."

Shui Yuying couldn't stand Yin Lihua's silence and Gao Xian's disregard for her.

She said to Gao Xian, "Kid, why are you pretending to be a good person? How many people have you killed on your way here? Your boss, neighbors, teachers, senior sisters, and the people around you have died so many times. Don't say you have nothing to do with it!"

Through an investigation of Gao Xian, it can be found that many people around him have died, and many of them have disappeared without a trace.

One coincidence is possible, two coincidences are possible, but with so many deaths related to Gao Xian, how is it possible that he has nothing to do with it?

Shui Yuying has walked this path and has extinguished countless enemies. She is very familiar with this kind of situation.

No evidence is needed, just by looking at Gao Xian's growth path, one can tell that he has stepped on countless bones to reach his current position.

In the world of cultivators, every cultivator can become someone else's nourishment. This is nothing out of the ordinary.

Gao Xian firmly and confidently said, "I am a good person!"

Shui Yuying said with a hint of amusement, "So you mean that the people you killed were all bad people. Tsk tsk, cultivators always kill. Whether it's for personal gain or grudges, killing is inevitable. It's the first time I've seen a hypocritical cultivator like you."

Gao Xian waved his finger at Shui Yuying, "We are different."

"What's the difference? Are we not as cunning and hypocritical as you?"

Shui Yuying's enchanting face showed a hint of disdain, "You've said so much nonsense just to buy time, hoping for Yun Qiushui to arrive."

She revealed a glimmer of sharpness in her bright eyes, "I'm sparing him some face because of Yun Qingxuan. Yun Qiushui really thinks he's capable and worthy of competing with me."

"To tell you the truth, I came here this time for you and for Yun Qiushui!"

Shui Yuying lightly touched the hilt of her Dark Sea Sword at her waist, and the killing intent at the Gold Core level naturally overflowed.

In an instant, the entire underground cave was engulfed by the icy and chilling Sword Intent of the Dark Sea Sword, causing even the green light that filled the cave to dim abruptly.

Gao Xian was in the midst of it, desperately grasping the Azure Lotus Sword and activating the Five Elements Sword Qi to resist.

A thick white aura, condensed into sharp sword lights.

Under the impact of the Xuanming aura, layers of sharp sword lights surged and fluctuated, extinguishing and reappearing, firmly protecting Gao Xian.

There was a hint of excitement in Shui Yuying's bright eyes. This Gao Xian was indeed extraordinary. His innate Divine Ability turned out to be the Great Five Elements Sword Aura, and his cultivation was exceptionally pure.

Facing her Abyssal Sword Intent's impact, he managed to defend himself steadily, appearing quite composed.

As a Foundation Building cultivator, still in the early stage of Foundation Building, Gao Xian's Divine Ability and cultivation had far exceeded the limits of ordinary second-tier strength.

Although Qingyun Sect was large, there were only two or three Foundation Building cultivators as powerful as Gao Xian.

However strong a Foundation Building cultivator may be, how could they compete against a Gold Core cultivator? There was a huge difference between the two realms.

Yun Qiushui believed that she could defeat Shui Yuying just because she had the Purple Cloud Radiant Sword. Shui Yuying despised Yun Qiushui's arrogance. If it weren't for her fear of the Yun family's power and strict rules, she would have wanted to twist Yun Qiushui's head off!

This time, Yun Qiushui thought she was being clever by trying to lure her in, but Shui Yuying took the bait. She wanted to see if Yun Qiushui would be the one caught or if she would drag Yun Qiushui into the water!

This was the confidence of a Gold Core cultivator. No matter how strong the Foundation Building cultivator was, she could crush them.

Shui Yuying wasn't in a hurry to deal with Gao Xian. She wanted to wait for Yun Qiushui to come over and step on Yun Qiushui's face in front of Gao Xian.

By then, she would see if Gao Xian could still stand so tall and if his bones could still be so hard!

With this playful mindset, Shui Yuying gradually increased the pressure. Her Abyssal Sword Intent became stronger and stronger, and the layers of light transformed by the Sword Intent had become substantial, surging and shaking like waves.

The Abyssal Sea Sword was a third-grade high-quality sword, and the rune restrictions on it were close to perfection, only one step away from being a top-grade sword.

Since achieving the Gold Core stage, Shui Yuying had been refining this sword for decades. She didn't follow the path of sword cultivation, but she liked to use the sword to control her techniques, investing a great deal of effort and resources into this sword.

With the waves of light, Gao Xian relied solely on the Great Five Elements Sword Aura to protect himself, standing firm like a rock against the impact of the Abyssal Sword Intent.

At this moment, Shui Yuying had already exerted thirty percent of her mana. Although it was still in the probing stage and the distance between them was far, this level of power was already terrifying.

Seeing that Gao Xian could still handle it calmly, Shui Yuying was somewhat surprised. Although Gao Xian didn't follow the path of sword cultivation and didn't have that kind of single-minded focus and refinement, he somehow cultivated such a marvelous Sword Intent.

Yin Lihua, who was watching behind Shui Yuying, was even more shocked. The Abyssal Sword Intent that Shui Yuying unleashed wasn't aimed at her, but she felt as if her whole body was being pierced by countless ice needles, from her body to her soul, she could feel the icy and fierce sharpness of the Abyssal Sword Intent.

Yin Lihua thought to herself that if she were in Gao Xian's position, she would have been killed on the spot by the Abyssal Sword Intent.

She had thought that Gao Xian was only skilled in spells, but today she realized that Gao Xian's cultivation and Sword Intent were far superior to hers.

If she were to encounter Gao Xian at the Qingyun Sect's competition, she would have no chance of winning.

Fortunately, she listened to Shui Yuying's words and resolved to deal with Gao Xian in the Yin Wind Cave!

Yin Lihua was a little worried again. What if Yun Qiushui came? Did she really have to kill Yun Qiushui?

If it really happens, not only will Shui Yuying be in trouble, but she and Xuanming Sect will probably suffer from the fierce retaliation of the Yun family!

The Yun family, with their dual Gold Cores, occupies a high position in Qingyun Sect and holds great power and influence. The Nascent Soul True Immortal Yun Zaitian is even the ancestor of the Yun family.

With a family like the Yun family, who can afford to offend them?!

Just as Yin Lihua was worried, a light laughter came from behind, "Brother Gao, I'm here."

Upon hearing Yun Qiushui's voice, Shui Yuying instead restrained her Abyssal Sword Intent. Her Sword Intent was actually using her divine sense to activate the power of the Abyssal Sword.

Since it was controlled by divine sense, it could be activated and stopped at will.

In an instant, the swirling Abyssal Sword Intent disappeared completely.

Shui Yuying also gave up the entrance to the passage and calmly waited for Yun Qiushui.

Knowing Yun Qiushui well, she knew that this guy appeared polite on the surface but was extremely proud and arrogant deep down. He wouldn't ask Yun Qingxuan for help, let alone go to his father Yun Changfeng.

Sure enough, Yun Qiushui, dressed in white like a cloud, gracefully entered the underground cave, without anyone else by his side.

Shui Yuying smiled and said, "Brother Yun, you are so scheming and ambitious. I admire you."

Yun Qiushui clasped his hands and humbly said, "Lady Shui's ability to scheme is truly admirable. I am far inferior."

This plan can't be considered clever, just as Gao Xian said, it's like fishing with a straight hook.

This game is about the character and ability of both sides, and it's a competition of determination and skills.

Shui Yuying snorted, "I'm just a little curious. Many people say that you are a rare genius in swordsmanship in the sect for a thousand years."

"Yun Qingxuan is a peerless genius who appears once every three thousand years, and you are a swordsmanship genius that appears once every thousand years. Doesn't the Yun family feel embarrassed to boast like this?"

"Respect from the elders and love from relatives, I can only accept it."

Yun Qiushui casually said, "If I don't accept it, wouldn't it mean that the elders and relatives have poor judgment?"

"Fine, let me see what this once-in-a-thousand-years swordsmanship genius is capable of."

Shui Yuying's face turned cold, and a hint of chilling intent appeared in her enchanting eyes.

Yun Qiushui smiled, "We can fight, but there should be rules. What should be done if Lady Shui loses?"

"If I lose?"

Shui Yuying sneered, "Then you can do whatever you want!"

She didn't mention what would happen if she won. If she really won, she could do whatever she wanted. There was no need to say more.

"Good, let's get started, Lady Shui."

Yun Qiushui didn't waste any words. He calmly held the hilt of the Zixiao Cloud Light Sword and said, "Please."

Gao Xian couldn't help but admire Yun Qiushui's demeanor. Even in the face of the Gold Core True Immortal, he remained calm and composed. This was not just confidence, but also the elegance he had cultivated since childhood.

Perhaps when Yun Qiushui dies, he will tidy up his clothes and wipe the blood off his face before leaving in a dignified manner...

While Gao Xian was lost in his thoughts, Shui Yuying had already made her move.

This time, Shui Yuying was no longer polite. She drew her Minghai Sword and pointed it at Yun Qiushui, causing a powerful Minghai Sword Intent to surge forth.

Layers of deep and profound sword light poured down like the Milky Way, like a galloping herd of horses, directly overwhelming Yun Qiushui.

At the same time, Shui Yuying also activated her Golden Light Technique and Profound Abyss Cold Light Shield.

Although the Golden Light Technique was only a second-grade defensive spell, it excelled in its comprehensiveness and could withstand various magical attacks.

The Profound Abyss Cold Light Shield was a third-grade medium-level spell. It looked like a huge white crystal curved mirror with two sides, protecting Shui Yuying in the middle.

Although Shui Yuying was confident of victory, she was not willing to take risks, let alone engage in close combat with Yun Qiushui.

The Zixiao Cloud Light Sword was too sharp. If she were to be struck by Yun Qiushui's sword, she wouldn't be able to handle it.

Relying on his powerful divine sense and mana as a Gold Core cultivator, he could maintain a distance and launch attacks. No matter how brilliant Yun Qiushui's swordsmanship was, it would be useless if he couldn't get close.

When Shui Yuying became serious, she was extremely terrifying. Gao Xian avoided the central area of the battle from a distance, but he couldn't avoid being suppressed by the icy and fierce Minghai Sword Intent.

His Shadowless Robe was instantly shattered, and the golden light talisman he activated only emitted a flash of light before being covered by the dim light.

Gao Xian had to activate the Ninth-grade Azure Lotus Treasure Light on his robe to withstand the violent and fierce Minghai Sword Intent.

Yin Lihua was even worse. She directly retreated into the passage, far away from the underground chamber.

Yun Qiushui was the first to gently draw his sword. The three-inch Purple Cloud Light Sword unsheathed and emitted a soft hum. The violent and fierce Minghai Sword Intent split open from the middle, followed by layers of deep and profound light bursting open along this white line.

The mighty and fierce Minghai Sword Intent was split open by this sword hum from the middle.

The residual momentum of the sword hum fell directly on Shui Yuying's Profound Abyss Cold Light Shield, leaving a straight white sword mark on it.

The golden light on Shui Yuying's body also silently shattered, and she immediately became aware of the danger and synchronously activated her Profound Abyss Yin Qi.

The deep and dark Profound Abyss Yin Qi instantly completely concealed Shui Yuying's figure.

A trace of white light deeply imprinted itself in the darkness, revealing Shui Yuying's figure once again.

There was also a crack on her black robe, revealing a tempting whiteness.

Shui Yuying's eyes were unusually solemn. Yun Qiushui's sword hadn't fully unsheathed yet, but with his Sword Intent, he had already broken through several layers of her defenses, even cutting through her Minghai robe. It was just a hair's breadth away from injuring her.

The power of the Zixiao Cloud Light Sword far exceeded Shui Yuying's expectations.

Yun Qiushui smiled calmly, "True Immortal, shall we continue?"
