C17 Target Achieved

Chi!

The sword pierced through Luo Yu's chest. Although he managed to dodge the sword at the last moment, he was still unable to dodge the deadly sword tip. At this moment, the cold sword wind stopped. The short sword in his hand took advantage of the opportunity to strike back. However, it stopped the moment before the last attack. He let out a bitter laugh.

Bang!

With a flip of his hand, Ning Yue struck with a heavy blow. Ning Yue forced him back forcefully. After that, his body swayed and he half-knelt on the ground. His fatigue and pain doubled. He was almost unable to open his eyes and was about to close them.

"Hey, Ning Yue, are you alright?"

Yin staggered over and supported Ning Yue's body, which was about to fall down. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Luo Yu struggling to sit up. In an instant, she flipped her left hand and took off another sleeve arrow to aim at him.

"No need. I can't hurt you guys now."

Luo Yu smiled bitterly and fell on his back again. He covered his chest which was pierced by the sharp sword. His voice gradually became weaker.

"I never thought that I would fall into your hands. Perhaps this is the destiny... Back then, when I was young, I left my hometown. I only wanted to return and give her a good home. I didn't expect that... A few years later, when he came back, he learned that Ah Qing had been taken over by a wealthy boss. He hanged himself because he was humiliated. Thus, I killed the entire family of that wealthy businessman. Thinking about it now, Not everyone is guilty, but I never let go of any one of them. I had long thought that I would not have a good end, but I didn't think that today would be the day. The anniversary of Ah Qing's death."

That tomb is buried, is it your lover? " Yin's heart inexplicably moved.

Luo Yu continued, "Yes. It's a pity that I wanted to give her a final home, but I was unable to protect her from the beginning to the end. But that brat did it. The thing that I regretted the most back then. Furthermore, he was more kind than me. In the future, perhaps... hmph, in this chaotic world, That would be even more dangerous."

"No matter how difficult the road is, we have to continue. We can't escape from ourselves. What we can't change is the past. " Ning Yue replied softly. Then, he forced out a smile and said, "You did not cut down that last sword strike. Thank you."

"There is no need to thank me. It was you who allowed me to see the moment I longed for the most, but I did not do it." Luo Yu smiled sadly. He turned his head with great difficulty and looked at the tombstone not far away.

Ning Yue understood and nodded. "I will bury you with her."

"Thank you. The Sword Nippy Wind cultivation scroll is in an iron box in the corner under the bed in the room. Consider it my final reward. " With a satisfied smile, Luo Yu no longer had any regrets. He closed his eyes.

Seeing this, Ning Yue looked at Yin, who was supporting him. He shrugged and said, "It seems that burying him here is not good enough to prove that he was killed by you. How do I get the reward?"

"This?"

Yin also had an awkward expression. If she wanted to exchange for the reward, the most powerful evidence was to take the prisoner's corpse or head back.

"Find anything on him. Since you said you want to be buried together, I will not go against it. After all, this time, I relied on you to win. So..."

Suddenly, Yin's pupils contracted violently. She clearly saw a figure standing behind Ning Yue. It was so quiet that she couldn't see when it had appeared.

At the same time, Ning Yue's vision turned black. He had completely lost consciousness.

...

In the cold and dark unknown space, a snow white hand slowly touched a red long sword that was inserted into the void. A woman in a blue dress and white dress was hidden in a hazy illusion. She looked at the boundless illusion and suddenly burst into laughter. Her voice was somewhat crafty.

"Very good, that's it. Continue to use your bloodline to activate the power sealed in the sword, Master."

The last two words were filled with mockery.

...

When Ning Yue woke up, he was surprised to find himself lying on a tree. He looked around and found that the surroundings were unfamiliar. He should have never been here in his memory. Just as he was about to get up, the pain from his four limbs and chest made him grin. He suddenly remembered what had happened before he passed out.

"No, why am I here? Where is Yin?"

He turned his head and looked around. However, he could not see anyone.

He lowered his head to check his own injuries. He put all the bandages on his wounds and wrapped them up. He could even feel a faint cold sensation. The pain seemed to have faded a little because of this.

On the other side, on the other branch, was a neatly folded piece of clothing. On top of the neatly folded clothes was his rusty ancient sword, as well as a few jade bottles that were supposed to contain medicinal pills. Apart from that, there was also an ancient scroll.

Ning Yue was stunned. He subconsciously took the scroll and opened it to take a look. Immediately, shock flashed in his eyes.

Low grade spirit rank martial skill, Sword Nippy Wind!

"Could it be that Yin helped me do all of this and then she left?"

He looked around again, but it was a pity that there was no change from before. In his heart, he also understood that after killing Luo Yu, he and Yin would definitely separate. However, for some reason, he felt a little disappointed.

Perhaps it was rare for someone to trust him to disappear.

"No, she hasn't told me how to obtain the qualification to participate in the Snow Dragon Empire's New Excellence Tournament yet. How can she just run away like this?! And she agreed to give me a small portion of the reward!"

But soon, he smiled inexplicably again. He just left without saying another word. It was pretty good, at least not when he woke up and found out that he had been sold for the reward. Of course, he believed that Yin could not do that kind of thing.

If it was fated, they might meet again in the future.

"Forget it. I don't want to think about it anymore. I need to recover first. My strength is still far from enough. This time, with this new martial arts manual, our future path should be a little easier, right?"

Rustle, rustle, rustle -

The waterfall flew down, and streams of water crashed into the surface of the water and the protruding rocks below. In an instant, they broke into countless snow white waves, and the bits and pieces of water fell back into the pool of water below, merging back into one.

Of course, there were also many water droplets that splashed onto the rough surface of the rock, dying it wet time and time again. On one of the largest rocks, there was a human figure sitting cross-legged. No matter how the waterfall washed or the water droplets splashed, he did not move at all, just like an old monk in a meditative state. He was practically a part of the rock.

If one looked carefully, one would discover that there was actually an invisible force lingering on the outermost layer of his naked skin. Every time an intense water current smashed down, a large portion of the force would be removed. Only the remaining force would wash over his body. Even so, the force of the brushing was not to be underestimated.

The broken water kept sliding down his body and gently brushed the several scars on the surface of his skin. There were new and old wounds, especially the few crisscrossing scars on his four limbs and chest. They had not completely healed. Clearly, they had only been cut recently.

It was already the fifth day since he had suffered the scouring of the waterfall here. If one were to calculate further, it was already the ninth day since Ning Yue woke up from his injuries that day.

It was not his first time cultivating under the impact of the waterfall. Back in the Cloud Void Sword Pavilion, Senior Brother had taken this kind of water rush to cultivate. He still remembered that he had failed more than ten times when he tried to climb up the rock under the waterfall for the first time.

A few days ago, when he encountered this waterfall, he naturally thought of the method he had used.

"It's not enough, it's still not enough..."

His lips trembled slightly. Ning Yue's body still did not move. His body, which was not considered strong, was swallowed by the water again and again. However, his body, which was sitting cross-legged on the rock, was as stable as a rock.

Time passed. Soon, it was noon. The scorching sun in the sky sprinkled down waves of heat. However, it also caused the water of the waterfall to be filled with a dazzling and colorful glow.

Suddenly, Ning Yue's tightly shut eyes opened, and the corners of his mouth curled up slightly.

"Yes, it is this feeling, it is now!"

Boom!

He raised his hand and punched. The invisible force roared and turned into layers of air waves that rose up vertically. It collided with the water that was falling from the waterfall. It actually forcibly tore apart the powerful surging force from the middle. Countless broken water streams shot out in all directions. A vacuum was shockingly created in the middle.

Following this punch, Ning Yue also felt that the restless force in his body had suddenly broken through the previous barrier. It was as if a dam had burst and a flood had poured out. A new force surged through all the meridians in his body. It was very abundant and comfortable.

"Ahahahaha, I'm back. My strength is back!"

Yuan Wu Realm! Eighth stage, breakthrough!

Hua!

In the next moment, the water from the waterfall that had gathered once again instantly gathered onto the one that had stood up. The insolent figure fell down and slammed heavily into the lake below.

Gulp! Gulp! Gulp!

Not far away, a series of bubbles rose on the surface of the water. Ning Yue emerged from the water again and spat out a large mouthful of murky water. He coughed a few times, but the joy on his face did not fade much.

He quickly rowed back to the shore and lay naked on the rock, waiting for the water on his body to dry. He was bored to death as he fiddled with the clothes on the side to pass the time.

Although he had broken through, he had only taken one step back. At that time, he was at the ninth level of the Origin realm.

But now, Ning Yue was confident that even if he ran into someone at the ninth level of the Origin realm, he had a 60% chance of winning. Without using the power of the ancient sword.

Thinking of this, he touched his clothes again. He took out a scroll from inside. It was almost time for him to practice the Sword Nippy Wind. Low grade spirit rank martial art... The Cloud Void Sword Pavilion also had them, but it was impossible for them to give him the chance to come into contact with them. The spirit rank martial arts began. All of them would be able to come into contact with the control of the Element Power. In order to have such a foundation, In order to have such a foundation, one had to reach the Spirit Waking Stage realm.

However, this martial art in his hand was a rare exception. Hence, there were many flaws and drawbacks.

"The strength of the eighth level of the Origin realm is still too weak. If I don't have enough trump cards, the next time I meet a bounty hunter who is more reliable than Yin, or that batch of strength from last time, it will be difficult."

He sighed to himself and Ning Yue opened the scroll.

However, before he could finish reading the first line, a roar came from the forest in the distance. It was high and low, full of violence, mixed with anger and unwillingness. That voice should have come from many Devil Beasts at the same time.

Frowning, he closed the scroll again. When he was cultivating, he was most afraid of being disturbed, and it was still that piercing sound.

More importantly, Ning Yue was curious about what was going on in the distance.

"Forget it. Let's go watch the show first."

He quickly put on his clothes, carried his long sword, and put away all the scattered objects. He stood up and dashed forward. His speed increased along with his realm, and he quickly shuttled through the forest.

Very quickly, the roars and roars got closer and closer. When he saw the scene in front of him, Ning Yue's footsteps suddenly stopped, and he was stunned on the spot.

This... was really an incredible scene!
