Jian Xu turned around and glanced at Ning Lang.

"You should leave. The matters of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect have nothing to do with you anymore."

Ning Lang almost thought she had misheard, looking at Jian Xu in disbelief.

"Are you... are you chasing me away?"

Jian Xu's voice suddenly became extremely cold and ruthless.

"Leave, if you don't want to die."

Ning Lang was stunned, and after a moment, she suddenly rushed madly toward Jian Xu.

"Jian Xu, I always knew about your feelings for Liu Chan..."

Before she could finish, half of a sword tip suddenly appeared at her throat, blood splattering everywhere.

The rest of her words were never spoken, and with a grating sound between her throat, blood sprayed out like an arrow.

Moments later, Ning Lang's body limply fell to the ground, the annihilation intent of the Qing Xu Sword completely robbing her of life.

Yang Fei was startled.

Only then did he notice the faint blue light scattered around, with sharp and bone-chilling Sword Intent in the air.

He hadn't realized when, but this area had already become Jian Xu's Qing Xu Sword Domain.

This was the most terrifying aspect of the Qing Xu Sword, capable of instantly transforming into a Sword Domain.

Within the Sword Domain, Jian Xu's mere thought could summon a sharp sword.

With a mere thought, countless Qing Xu Swords would appear, making it difficult for anyone to escape his assassination.

However, Yang Fei did not fear the Sword Domain of the Qing Xu Sword.

Yang Fei's Tortoise Mirror was activated, capable of perceiving any attack trajectory around him at any moment.

What chilled Yang Fei's heart was that Jian Xu dared to lay a deadly hand on Ning Lang.

No matter how annoyingly shallow Ning Lang was, she was still Jian Xu's Dao Companion.

Yet, Jian Xu did not hesitate to strike her down with deadly force.

Jian Xu killed Ning Lang, then turned around to look at Yang Fei.

"Liu Chan's life and death are uncertain now, and I don't want anyone else delaying her life-and-death matters. Let's go up to the peak."

Yang Fei nodded, glanced at Susu, and Jian Xu followed Yang Fei's gaze to see Susu as well.

He said indifferently, "My fellow Daoist, please rest at the foot of the mountain. Once we've rescued her, we'll come down from the peak."

Susu nodded, Jian Xu's figure flickered, retracting the Sword Domain of the Qing Xu Sword, and headed forward.

Yang Fei thought for a while and decided to follow Jian Xu towards the peak.

Along the way, Jian Xu remained silent, showing no concern even for the disciples at the foot of the mountain.

At the Ninth Peak stood a towering Sword Tower, into which Jian Xu took Yang Fei.

On the Ninth Level of the Sword Tower, Yang Fei finally saw Liu Chan.

Her limbs were shackled by massive chains, cuffs and chains glimmered with Divine Light, faintly revealing runes.

Liu Chan wore only a close-fitting white camisole, facing away from Yang Fei.

Yang Fei could only see her back, upon which a blue, serpentine Sword Seal had fully formed.

The Sword Seal faintly glimmered with dim light, stamped onto Liu Chan's spine.

Beneath Liu Chan's body was a strange formation in the shape of Innate Bagua, and she was trapped at the center of it.

Yang Fei's heart suddenly ached.

Just a month ago, Liu Chan, whom he had seen, was full of life and energy, yet now she appeared like this.

The strange Sword Seal on Liu Chan's body had indeed brought her immense disaster.

"Chan'er, how are you?"

Yang Fei softly asked, making his voice as gentle as possible.

Liu Chan's body trembled upon hearing Yang Fei's voice and suddenly turned around.

She saw Yang Fei at a glance, a flash of joy streaking across her face, followed by an unparalleled expression of terror.

"Master, you must leave, this place cannot..."

At that moment, Yang Fei's Tortoise Mirror suddenly sensed more than ten sword glows aiming at him.

He activated Yu Step, moving swiftly like lightning, evading ten positions in an instant, yet his thigh still ached, and blood splattered out.

Only the sound of sword edges could be heard in the air, with more than ten longswords piercing the void before vanishing again.

Yang Fei's gaze swept the air, where countless glimmers of light twinkled, hiding numerous treacherous Sword Qi.

He slowly turned around, catching sight of Jian Xu's carefree and suave face, gritting his teeth unwillingly.

"So, it was all your doing. What are you trying to achieve?"

Jian Xu looked at him indifferently, softly sighing.

"I didn't expect you could avoid my Qing Xu Sword's sneak attack. You're truly an admirable warrior, yet, even so, you must die."

Without waiting for Yang Fei to ask, he straightforwardly admitted.

"Indeed, all of this was my idea. Once the Heavenly Secret Sword and Qing Xu Sword merge, I will become a transcendent Sword Immortal, traversing the void and dominating the Nine Realms."

"By then, I might even open up the Ten Thousand Swords Realm beyond the Nine Realms and become the eternal Sword God."

His expression grew increasingly twisted, even a bit hysterical.

"But Liu Chan's cultivation is far too slow."

"Even though the Heavenly Secret Sword absorbs Spiritual Energy day and night for her, her cultivation only broke through Foundation Establishment. Without absorbing a large amount of Spiritual Energy, the Heavenly Secret Sword cannot awaken completely."

"Therefore, I imprisoned Liu Chan and, under the guise of treating her, invited experts from various factions to heal her, using their Spiritual Energy and flesh to nourish the Heavenly Secret Sword."

"You are the twelfth cultivation expert I've killed. Your flesh and Spiritual Energy will become nourishment for the Heavenly Secret Sword."

As he spoke, he pointed to the formation's pattern on the floor, laughing triumphantly.

"Just now, I killed four elders of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect to offer them to the sword, and you are the next Sword Servant!"

Yang Fei looked at the floor and indeed saw thick blood staining the formation's pattern, dried in many areas.

His heart chilled, teeth clenched in fury.

"So your talk of saving Liu Chan was merely a guise; you never intended for her to survive, did you?"

Jian Xu snorted, "Liu Chan is parasitized by the Heavenly Secret Sword. Sooner or later, her flesh and Spiritual Origin Qi will be sacrificed to the Heavenly Secret Sword."

"To become a part of this Divine Sword is considered your blessing."

Speaking thus, Jian Xu's face grew increasingly wicked.

"To be honest, my Qing Xu Sword was forged this way. Once the Heavenly Mechanism Blue Ruins is complete, Ten Thousand Swords to the Ancestor, I will be the true Sword Master."

Liu Chan, struggling within the formation, cried out.

"Master, please leave. He's a madman."

Jian Xu sneered chillingly, "Do you think you can still leave?"

"This is already inside my Sword Domain; prepare to die."

As he finished, more than ten Sword Shadows flashed in Yang Fei's Tortoise Mirror, charging toward him.

Within the Sword Domain, any thought of Jian Xu's was a Flying Sword attack, swift as lightning and inescapable.

Yang Fei moved with body technique akin to a phantom.

The sound of sword edges clashing rang out, countless blue Sword Edges appearing where Yang Fei had just stood.

As Yang Fei steadied his footing, his calf suddenly ached, a blue Sword Edge piercing into the hollow of his leg, emerging from the front.

Blood splattered everywhere!
