Chen Ping's Sword

After achieving Martial Intent Perfection, one can attain Heaven-Human Sensing.

Merely by Qi Mechanism, the target’s movements can be locked.

Ji Mingyue hadn’t learned the small techniques of Concealing Breath and Form. Her Qi Mechanism surged forth, grand and clear like a bright moon hanging high, unable to conceal itself.

At this moment, her escape was akin to a torch illuminating the night sky, sensed clearly.

As one of the Three Great Saintesses of the Extreme Yin Sect, Gu Qingshuang practiced the eerily elusive Void Nine Illusions Sky Dance Technique, her body technique shifting unpredictably and incredibly fast, joining in a flash in midair to close the gap.

Sword Light flickered, seemingly distant, yet within the blink of an eye, it enveloped Ji Mingyue completely, targeting thirty-two major acupoints.

"Prince, won’t you personally capture your treasured daughter? If she succeeds in her escape from marriage, you know it won’t be easy to explain to Yuwen Hao of Beizhou. If the alliance is broken and the Rushing Wolf Cavalry is drawn in, the situation will be difficult to predict."

Elders Mingyu and Xuan Bing had arrived at the entrance of the Prince’s Mansion at some point, standing alongside King Jinghai Ji Changlie.

Turmoil broke out in the western wing, two disciples disguised as maidservants from the Extreme Yin Sect were killed, naturally, all the grandmasters in the mansion knew of it.

Especially those at the Unity Realm, constantly merging with Heaven and Earth Primordial Qi, resonating together, could simply explore with Heart and Spirit and gain insight into the event from the Qi Mechanism of the world.

At this time, everyone understood that Little Commandery Princess Ji Mingyue had figured out the party’s plan, rose in anger to kill and escape; she disliked being a puppet subjected to the arrangements and even thought of sending word to the Xingqing Prefecture Lord.

In this situation.

Even if reluctant to act harshly, Ji Changlie had to admit, Ji Mingyue absolutely could not be allowed to escape. The marriage alliance could not be sabotaged, even if it meant sending a foolish and disabled Commandery Princess who could only lie down, she had to be sent to Yuwen Hao.

Otherwise, if the alliance breaks, even if the Beizhou Barbarians are bold and dismissive of the twenty-thousand-strong Jinghai Army, they would still have to advance and attack our camp first.

They were also wary; if they advanced south and battled the Xingqing Prefecture army and Youjing True Martial King army, the Jinghai Army would attack from behind, cutting off their retreat.

At that time, surrounded on both sides, no matter how capable the Rushing Wolf Cavalry are, they may not guarantee complete victory.

Even if they win, it would result in heavy losses.

"Qingshuang actually fell into a disadvantage."

Ji Changlie only glanced twice and realized that since Gu Qingshuang fiercely pursued, she should have easily captured his daughter in one or two moves.

But in reality, this Saintess, who is just a step short of the Unity Realm, practiced top-tier skills like the Void Nine Illusions, yet still couldn’t defeat his daughter who had only practiced sword for three months.

’What is this world coming to?’

Ji Changlie murmured speechlessly, his complexion becoming very complex.

On one hand was his still captivating mistress, on the other was his daughter, both are precious to him, neither seemed the right one to help.

The crucial issue was, if he took action, it would not sound good when word got out.

The densely packed army was already alerted and watching.

"Hypocrite."

Elder Xuan Bing saw through Ji Changlie’s thoughts at a glance.

With a low, nearly inaudible grunt, he disregarded Ji Changlie’s ugly expression, his form turning into an ice-blue light, and rushed forth.

Having entered the Unity Realm for twenty years, Elder Xuan Bing’s cultivation had long reached True Qi Spirit Communication, now about to manifest Divine Will, establishing himself at the third level of the Unity Realm as a grandmaster.

Such a personage came specifically at the request of the Extreme Yin Sect to support King Jinghai, saying he would not humor him and then refused to humor him.

Seeing Gu Qingshuang’s unfavorable situation, Elder Xuan Bing’s skinny old face was filled with icy cruelty.

Even dozens of meters away, he struck with his palm.

"Crackle..."

A massive pale blue Hand Seal appeared in the air.

Thin ice crystals formed in the sky, large flakes of snow danced.

He paid no heed to identity, nor feared to gain the "good name" of bullying the weak by directly taking action.

"Mingyue, thousand miles."

Ji Mingyue, initially surrounded by Gu Qingshuang’s Void Nine Illusions Swordsmanship, watched countless light shadows fall, as she countered with thrusts.

No matter how dense and varied Gu Qingshuang’s Sword Technique was, intertwining reality and illusion, under Ji Mingyue’s ordinary Sword Technique, it melted like snow under the sun; as it came close, it dissipated, became chaotic, rendered utterly ineffective, unable to reach her.

Indeed, within any Swordsmanship or Sword Technique, regardless of variation, if there’s form, it can be broken.

Celestial Heart Bright Moon illuminated all corners, Gu Qingshuang’s Void Nine Illusions Swordsmanship relied heavily on the concept "Illusion," which Ji Mingyue saw with utter clarity.

Before her eyes formed a black and white net, naturally weaving a grid.

Within the network, each node, thick or thin, needed only to be broken individually to dispel the move, the sword, the Qi, and the intent, completely.

With only ten moves exchanged, Gu Qingshuang was drenched in sweat, sensing the opponent’s little girl could thrust and potentially pierce her brow or heart at any moment, exceedingly risky, yet unable to extricate herself.

’Who is really besieging whom?’

She wanted to retreat.

Yet feared in that moment of retracting her sword, she would be struck down.

At this moment, her situation was precarious.

Gu Qingshuang regretted to the core.

’Why was I so quick to chase?’

She kept questioning herself.

’How did she master this Sword Technique? It’s so strange.’

In the critical moment of crisis, crackling resonated in midair, a blue Hand Seal thunderously pressed down, shattering the sky like a mountain.

Gu Qingshuang’s heart relaxed, withdrawing swiftly.

She knew, this was Elder Xuan Bing of the Extreme Yin Sect, stepping forth. No matter how peculiar Ji Mingyue’s Sword Technique was, after all, without breaking through to Grandmaster, facing this unity strike, she could not withstand it.

"Father."

Facing that colossal ice-sealed Hand Seal, as if the heavens were collapsing, Ji Mingyue looked up and saw her father standing emotionlessly in the distance.

Her whole body turned cold as ice, her mind started to freeze; Ji Mingyue’s heart grew cold, her body couldn’t move anymore, she seemed to hear the sound of something breaking, tears fell from the corner of her eye.

Before landing, it turned to ice crystals.

"Kach..."

Just as a layer of blue frost appeared on Ji Mingyue’s body, her brow suddenly shone brightly.

A crescent moon slowly rose, the warm lunar glow, even amidst the setting sun, chilled the heart.

Behind Ji Mingyue, her long hair danced wildly, Qi Mechanism soared into the sky; under the moon’s glow, it actually separated and blocked the blue ice crystals.

Her eyes seemed to lose focus, only white visible, no black, she murmured, "So it’s this way; I’ve been practicing wrongly all along."

As the words fell, her surrounding Qi Mechanism suddenly changed, instantly merging into the moonlight; no figure was visible, only a crescent moon, shadow within the moon, sword hidden in the shadow.

Hiss...

Sword Light flickered faintly.

Midway through the crushing massive blue palm, it fragmented into countless blue ice crystals, scattering everywhere.

Moon-lit Sword Light stopped not for a moment, leaving traces in the void, whistling through to Gu Qingshuang’s brow, carrying specks of blood.

A trail of moonlight cut through the army camp, directly descending into the distant sky, leaving half a piece of clothing behind, moon-white gauze attire, worn by Ji Mingyue.

"Qingshuang."

Elder Xuan Bing’s paper-white old face turned crimson.

A little girl unexpectedly broke through to the Unity Realm, reaching Sword Technique Extreme Intent level, forcibly slaying the Extreme Yin Sect Saintess he was protecting.

Moreover, she calmly retreated.

This is truly outrageous.

"Chase, she took my strike, Frost Condensed within her five viscera, she won’t get far."

Elder Xuan Bing roared, following the trail of moon halo Qi Mechanism, lightning quick pursuit.

Elder Mingyu’s face was equally stern, body soared into the sky.

Behind him, a large swarm of dark flying insects buzzed, forming a massive black cloud, chasing down with howling speed.
