Free Web NovelIn the wind and snow, Qingji stood with his back to Lu Yibei, holding his sword. His black hair and white clothes fluttered, his posture was upright, and his whole person exuded a killing aura, like a blood-stained spear.
There's a flaw!
Lu Yibei was certain that Qingji was teaching her a new move. The moment she caught a tiny flaw, she rushed forward with her sword without hesitation.
The broken sword thrust forward from her hand. The moment it sliced through the air, the blade lit up with fire without warning. As the broken sword was illuminated by the fire, the slightly rusted blade became exceptionally sharp, and the rust on the sword burned, like brilliant starlight.
The sharp whistle of the air being cut by the blade suddenly erupted.
And then...
Lu Yibei was sent flying.
"Ah--!"
Hearing the scream from behind him, Qingji, who had his back to Lu Yibei, revealed a sly smile at the corner of his mouth.
Did that brat's premonition fail?
Stupid now, aren't you?
After this Spiritual Energy leaves the body, it condenses into a Body Double that is invisible to the naked eye. You can't predict this!
----
Flying backward, Lu Yibei looked at Qingji, who hadn't moved at all, her eyes filled with disbelief.
Just now, she had approached Qingji almost in a sneak attack, only making an unavoidable sound when she thrust out her sword.
However, the moment she closed in on Qingji and swung her sword, there were no strong Spiritual Energy fluctuations, she didn't see Qingji make any movement, and she didn't even have a premonition thought flash through her mind. She was just sent flying like that, everything happened without warning.
Is this the new move? An attack that even premonition thoughts cannot capture...
Lu Yibei was thinking in astonishment when Qingji suddenly moved.
His joints rubbed, emitting a low sound like thunder. The muscles all over his body bulged, causing his clothes to flutter.
Lu Yibei had already witnessed this kind of control that brought every ounce of the body's strength to its limit. Seeing Qingji closing in, she instinctively reacted, swinging her sword forward to block his path.
However, it was completely useless!
Qingji leaned back, and then his body seemed to be pulled by an invisible rope, strangely sliding a small distance to the side, and then using his toes as a pivot, his figure gracefully swung out a semi-circular arc.
The broken sword that had slashed horizontally just grazed past his nose. The moment he steadied himself and straightened up, he suddenly took a step forward, arriving at Lu Yibei's side.
With one sword missing, Lu Yibei's heart was startled. She quickly withdrew her sword to steady herself. Just as she turned her side to look at the figure that had entered her peripheral vision, a premonition thought captured Qingji's movement.
【He clenched his right hand and punched over】
A strong sense of crisis was like a steel needle, fiercely piercing into her body, stinging her nerves.
The next moment, Qingji's fist whistled over, with silver light bursting from the fist.
Lu Yibei captured Qingji's trajectory and stomped her feet hard on the ground, intending to retreat and dodge, but at this moment, she felt a terrifying huge force pulling her towards Qingji, like willow catkins in the wind, uncontrollably crashing towards that chilling long sword.
However, just when she thought this lesson was about to end, the long sword hovered in front of her chest.
The tip of the sword was less than a millimeter away from her body.
"Is it amazing?" Qingji suddenly asked.
"Ah?" Lu Yibei was startled for a moment, then came back to her senses and quickly nodded in response, "It's amazing!"
Ancestor is indeed more powerful than before. This is probably the result of the resonance between the broken sword and the ruler, right? Lu Yibei thought.
"Do you want to learn?" Qingji asked again.
"I do!" Lu Yibei answered without hesitation.
As her voice fell, she heard thunder.
"Boom--!" fгeewёbnoѵel.cσm
The sword light penetrated her body, and amidst the crackling sound of bones breaking, she exploded...
----
In a dead silence, Lu Yibei felt as if she had been sucked into a dark vortex, sinking and rising...
After getting used to the discomfort brought by death, she composed herself and immediately entered the classic post-battle reflection phase.
Ancestor was still using the sword moves from the Taihe Gentleman Sword Illustration, but they seemed to be more exquisite.
The power that caused her body to explode at the end was the Hundred-Armed Giant Power simulated with Spiritual Energy.
That new move should be the strange sideways shift that helped his body when he dodged, and the inexplicably generated huge pulling force when I dodged.
That move is so fast that even premonition thoughts can't capture it. I must pay close attention later!
Lu Yibei was thinking, and before she knew it, she felt the biting cold wind again.
She opened her eyes and looked around. The moment she found Qingji's figure, she rushed forward with her sword without hesitation, looking fearless.
Anyway, in this ghost place, she couldn't actually be killed.
So, after clashing with Qingji for three moves, she got her wish and was killed again.
And this time, before killing Lu Yibei, he silently released a forbidden Spell, increasing the pain generated during the kill by more than ten times!
This special forbidden Spell called Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu was learned by Qingji from a Miao Jiang Gu Witch on a snowy night a hundred years ago. He had just remembered it not long ago. After being applied to the target, it can affect all of the target's senses to a certain extent.
As for what sense the Miao Jiang Gu Witch used this Spell to affect him back then... let's just say it was a certain touch, and anything more would be content you couldn't see even if you paid for it.
----
Floating in the darkness, Lu Yibei opened her eyes, lost in thought. Even now, she could still feel the intense pain that was enough to crush one's spirit.
However, she was not deterred by this. Instead, her fighting spirit became even more vigorous.
Although she had only exchanged three moves with Qingji before dying, which felt a bit frustrating, the moment before her consciousness fell into darkness, she vaguely felt that she had seen some clues.
Just a little bit, just a little bit more. If she could have held on for a moment longer, she would have been able to successfully remember Ancestor's new move!
No big deal, help me up, I can still feed!
Lu Yibei thought excitedly. When she opened her eyes on the rooftop again, she rushed towards Qingji eagerly, exchanged seven moves with him, and successfully gave away her head.
This time, Qingji also thoughtfully added a Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu, which not only enhanced the pain but also interfered with Lu Yibei's perception of time using a Spell.
Although this Spell cannot truly affect the flow of time, it can make the cursed person feel that time has slowed down and stretched slightly at a certain moment.
In other words, from a sensory perspective, Lu Yibei's pain during death was prolonged.
The Miao Jiang Gu Witch used this Spell to make Qingji feel both ecstatic and tormented back then, and now he is using the same Spell to make Lu Yibei "feel both ecstatic and tormented", which is quite reasonable!
At that moment, Lu Yibei's eyes widened, her Eyeballs were filled with bloodshot, she opened her mouth and let out a long, heartbreaking scream...
----
Seven moves, twelve moves... three hundred and seventy-eight moves...
Lu Yibei died again and again, and went forward again and again, using all her might.
After each death, the time she spent fighting Qingji would become longer, but each time she was defeated, she was just a little bit away from understanding Qingji's new move.
Just a little bit, as if she could grasp it with a reach, but it was also like a reflection in the water or the moon in the mirror, far out of reach.

It was like a mirage in the desert, driving the lost traveler forward until they died of thirst in the endless yellow sand.
Although she had already gotten used to death when practicing swords with Qingji in the past.
At first, she thought she could negotiate like Doctor Strange, achieving the goal of learning new moves by repeatedly dying.
But as the number of deaths increased again and again, Lu Yibei, who was about to "break down", gradually realized that something was wrong. It seemed she had become Dormammu!
The pain and despair generated doubly after being affected by the Spell during death, coupled with the frustration brought by the new move that seemed forever out of reach, gradually accumulated. Negative emotions condensed into an ocean, gradually outlining a gray and silent world before her eyes.
If her physical functions hadn't been restored to their best state after each resurrection, she probably would have shown some strange expressions by now.
Some people say: "The end of life is nothing more than a death, the meaning of death is nothing more than rebirth or eternal sleep, death is not the loss of life, but walking out of time."
However, Lu Yibei felt that she was trapped in time, trapped in the second before she could clearly glimpse Qingji's new move. Not dying had become a form of torment.
On this day, Lu Yibei regained the respect and fear she should have for death.
"..."
What kind of teaching is this?
Ancestor doesn't seem to be trying to teach me anything at all, he's just purely tormenting me!
Waking up only to die immediately felt like being maliciously corpse-camped by a perverted player from an enemy faction in an MMORPG game. The experience was really bad... Lu Yibei thought.
And then...
She once again felt her consciousness rising and woke up from the darkness.
----
On the dilapidated and ruined rooftop.
Qingji held his long sword and gazed at the pool of blood on the ground, lost in thought.
Although he had known for a long time that Lu Yibei had good talent, he couldn't help but be surprised by her rapid progress.
You know, after recovering some memories from his later years, the exquisiteness of both his swordsmanship and movement techniques had improved slightly compared to before.
Although the degree of improvement was not much, that was because his pure skill was already perfect when he was young, and there wasn't much room for improvement.
It's like the closer you get to a perfect score, the harder it is to improve.
However, despite this, in the process of clashing again and again, Lu Yibei still gradually kept up with his offensive rhythm at an astonishing speed.
Just now, he was really just a little bit away from letting Lu Yibei glimpse the mysteries of the Reverse-pattern Evil Flower Gu and the Body Double.
Yes, after noticing Lu Yibei's thoughts, Qingji deliberately maintained a state where she felt that she could learn something if she tried just a little harder, but she couldn't learn anything at all.
It was like the carrot that the mule could never eat.
The torment caused by the frustration of being "just a little bit away" was far more intense than being utterly defeated!
"Perhaps... it's time to stop?" Qingji muttered softly, "She has received the punishment she deserves, and it's time to have a proper talk with her."
Just as he was talking to himself, Lu Yibei's figure appeared in the open space not far away.
Seeing this, Qingji was about to attack when he saw Lu Yibei slide on her knees, rush over, hug his thigh, look up, and blink at him with teary eyes.
"Stop hitting, stop hitting, if you keep hitting me, I'll become an idiot. Ancestor, I know I was wrong!"
Although Lu Yibei didn't know why Qingji was being so ruthless to her, it was always right to admit her mistake first, regardless of the reason.
She really couldn't bear it anymore, she was about to be broken...
Looking at Lu Yibei's pathetic appearance, Qingji's heart softened. He opened his mouth to say something, but his face suddenly darkened.
"Ancestor, for the sake of my husband Lu Yibei, please spare me this time? I will be obedient from now on! Besides procreation, I can do anything!"
"..." Qingji's mouth twitched, and he said coldly, "Brat, you still dare to mention that?"
Lu Yibei, "..."
Understood. I was being sentimental. Ancestor was indeed just purely tormenting me just now...
But... what did I mention? Procreation?
I really can't do that!
Just as Lu Yibei was full of difficulty, Qingji lowered his eyebrows, glanced at her, and said coldly, "Someone told me that my great-grandson Lu Yibei is still alive..."
I'll give you one more chance, confess and be dealt with leniently!
"..." Lu Yibei was startled for a moment, and quickly said, "Who is spreading rumors? No, Ancestor, you can't believe the slander of outsiders! Are my words not as credible as outsiders'?"
Still being stubborn! Qingji frowned and snorted coldly, "Hmph, it's not just any outsider. The person who told me this news is Lu Yibei's fiancée!"
Lu Yibei, "???"
What the hell? What's going on? Is Gu Qianqian causing trouble behind my back?
How did she contact Ancestor?
Damn it! How many times has she done this?!
For a moment, Lu Yibei's slight guilt about committing crimes under Gu Qianqian's name disappeared without a trace, and she even wanted to escalate.
After a brief period of contemplation, she looked up at Qingji and decided to make one last struggle, "Ancestor, it must have been Gu Qianqian who told you, right? That Miss's words are not credible!"
"Although she has a marriage contract with my husband, she ultimately failed to become his wife, so she harbors resentment and this is not the first time she has caused trouble..."
After listening to Lu Yibei's words, confusion instantly came to Qingji.
Hiss--! How did another Gu Qianqian appear?
Isn't your fiancée Miss Hua Sang?
How many fiancées do you have?
Qingji thought, glanced at Lu Yibei with icy eyes, and said faintly, "Did I say it was Gu Qianqian who told me? Isn't this confessing without being prompted?"
Lu Yibei, "..."
You haven't even hit me yet? I'm already almost broken...
But, if it wasn't Gu Qianqian, who else could it be?
How come I don't know I have other fiancées?
Lu Yibei thought, mustered up her courage, and asked Qingji weakly, "Ancestor, may I ask who told you?"
"Miss Hua Sang..." Qingji said indifferently. frёewebnoѵēl.com
"Damn!" Lu Yibei blurted out.
It really was a backstab that was unexpected but reasonable!
This time, the plan completely failed...
Lu Yibei thought, knelt before Qingji, and silently kowtowed three times.
"Up until today, it was all my momentary infatuation, bringing it upon myself. I know that no amount of explanation will help, and it's normal for you to be angry, so... go ahead and do it!"
"You said this!"
"No, aren't you even going to consider it? Hey, wait... ugh--!"
The purest physical torment descended, and Lu Yibei, died.
