Xiao Shunzhi retreated more than one hundred feet back and stared fixedly at Yin Wuyouâs right hand.
There was a smear of red blood on his chest, but he didnât seem to notice it at all.
âHow did you do it?â Xiao Shunzhi asked coldly.
A trace of regret flashed across Yin Wuyouâs face. She had endured until now to use the Shadow Sword. She originally wanted to heavily injure Xiao Shunzhi. But in the end, she still didnât succeed.
Although Xiao Shunzhi had fallen to the second rank, his combat experience and Martial Dao intuition far surpassed that of ordinary second-rank martial artists.
Yin Wuyou had only just leveled up for a short time, and she wasnât Xiao Shunzhiâs match. It was already good luck that she could last until now.
âDo you think Iâll tell you?â Yin Wuyouâs body swayed. She was on the verge of collapse.
Although the Shadow Sword was only a yellow-grade weapon, and in terms of power, it was far inferior to Xiao Shunzhiâs Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber, its greatest characteristic was not its lethality but its invisibility!
It was invisible to the naked eye!
Martial artists might be able to sense its existence through their intuition, but it was invisible to the naked eye. In battle, the effects were too great. An invisible sword in the hands of an expert of the same rank, even a second-rank martial artist wouldnât be able to dodge it easily. Xiao Shunzhiâs expression was ugly. He originally thought that capturing the princess would be an easy task, but he didnât expect that it would be full of twists and turns.
First, he didnât expect Yin Wuyou to already be a second-rank martial artist. Second, he didnât expect her movement technique to be so good that she could fight him for an entire day.
Now, Yin Wuyou had an invisible weapon in her hands. It was beyond his expectations.
A weapon that couldnât be seen with the naked eye was truly unheard of! âDo you think you can turn the tables with a strange weapon?â Xiao Shunzhi said coldly. âYouâre underestimating me!
âIf I canât capture you alive, Iâll bring your corpse back!â
With a cold shout, his aura erupted once more. His body emitted a weak golden light as the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber slashed forward.
There was clearly a distance of over a hundred feet between them, but when Xiao Shunzhi slashed out with his saber, the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber seemed to streak across space and instantly appear in front of Yin Wuyou.
Yin Wuyouâs pupils constricted. She raised her arm and used the Shadow Sword to block the attack.
Boom!
With a loud bang, Yin Wuyou was sent flying. After landing on the ground, she continuously retreated. Her face turned even paler, and blood flowed down her snow-white neck.
Yin Wuyou looked at the Shadow Sword in her hand with some heartache, but she couldnât see
it.
Although she couldnât see, she could feel that after blocking Xiao Shunzhiâs saber, the Shadow Sword was already somewhat overwhelmed.
If she did it again, the sword would probably break.
Itâs not a bad thing if it breaks, in case it falls into Xiao Shunzhiâs hands, Yin Wuyou thought. She was already prepared to die. Even if she died, she absolutely couldnât be held captive by Xiao Shunzhi.
Although she couldnât bear to part with the Shadow Sword, rather than letting Xiao Shunzhi take it away after she died, it was better for her to leave with the Shadow Sword.
Yin Wuyou raised her arm again and injected her remaining traces of spiritual essence into the Shadow Sword.
Bright rays of light appeared in the sky, forming a beautiful outline. It was the Shadow Sword.
A hint of surprise flashed across Xiao Shunzhiâs eyes. This was his first time seeing such a weapon.
âThis is the newest weapon developed by Great Xia? Did Zhou Shu forge it?â Xiao Shunzhi asked in a low voice.
Zhou Shuâs name had already spread throughout the various countries. Even though Xiao Shunzhi didnât remember that he had once died at Zhou Shuâs hands, he still knew about Great Xiaâs famed forging genius.
Yin Wuyou didnât say anything. Her expression was incomparably firm, and the aura she exuded was extremely heroic.
Swish!
The sword qi tore through the sky as Yin Wuyou became one with the sword, seemingly entering a profound state. An extremely dazzling sword light collided with Xiao Shunzhi.
Xiao Shunzhi gave a cold snort. Without hesitation, he roused his true essence and slashed out with his blade.
Boom!
With a loud bang, the shockwave produced by the explosion spread out.
The ground within a radius of a few hundred feet seemed to have been plowed through. The soil flew, and all the vegetation turned into nothingness.
Yin Wuyouâs body was like a fallen leaf in the wind as she was tossed high into the air, appearing exceptionally weak. A bitter smile appeared on her face. Am I going to die?
Itâs not fair!
I have yet to see Zhou Shu become a Grand Craftsman.
I have yet to see him make a name for himself in the ten nations.
I have yet to see him cross that boundary.
I have yet to see him surrounded by his childrenâ¦
The light in Yin Wuyouâs eyes gradually dimmed, and she slowly closed her eyes.
Boom!
A figure appeared in the distance, approaching at an inconceivable speed.
Xiao Shunzhiâs pupils constricted, and his expression instantly became incomparably solemn.
He had just raised the Blood Thirsty Rampant Saber in his hand when this figure had already rushed forward.
It was Zhou Shu, who had rushed all the way here.
Zhou Shu leaped up and caught Yin Wuyou in his arms before slowly landing on the ground.
Yin Wuyou had already fainted, and her breathing was extremely weak. Looking at her pale little face, Zhou Shu could no longer suppress the anger in his heart.
He suddenly raised his head and looked at Xiao Shunzhi, the killing intent in his eyes almost tangible.
Xiao Shunzhiâs heart thumped, and he actually involuntarily took a step back.
After taking a step back, he came to his senses and felt a little angry.
âWho are you!â Xiao Shunzhi shouted coldly.
