Once upon a time there was a sword-questioner

Chapter 396
Along with that bright light came endless chill.

The light dissipated, revealing a tall figure with white eyebrows as frosty as the sharpness of a sword.

If you only talk about the attainments of Tongtian Taoism, this person is not inferior to the mountain master.

Pei Qiuhan, this was the first time he appeared in front of the world after breaking through the Taiqing Realm.

The empress put her blood-stained fingers into her sleeves, looked at him calmly and said, "I thought the relationship between Da Zhou and Kunlun Mountain could be eased, but I didn't expect you to choose to obey the mountain master."

Standing with his hands behind his back, Pei Qiuhan said, "He is the patriarch of our sect, and he should be respected."

No matter how deep the foundation of the Great Zhou Empire is, there is only one powerful person in the Taiqing Realm today, the Empress.

But a second person appeared in Kunlun Mountain.

The empress stared at him and said: "You also broke through Taiqing with the power of aura, which should be a little stronger than Qiu Yuan. It seems that my road to enlightenment is about to begin again."

Zi Ye, Jiang Shen'er and others in Chaotian City felt worried, and they could naturally see that the Empress was injured after the battle with Qiu Yuan.

Now that she meets Pei Qiuhan in his prime, will she still have a chance of winning?
The sky and the earth were all still, and those who watched from the dark didn't even dare to take a breath.

Pei Qiuhan stretched out his left hand and said, "Please."

The empress seemed to recall some past events, with strange emotions in her eyes, and then said: "For the sake of the past, I let you take the lead."

Pei Qiuhan was startled, then shook his head, the bitterness in his eyes disappeared for a moment.

He spread out his arms, embracing the void, his fingers slightly opened, and a layer of faint white light gradually brightened from between his fingers.

All the way.

Calm but powerful.

If everything went well in the past, he should have been the most suitable candidate for the head teacher of Kunlun Mountain.

But from Mr. Cen, Tang Ge to Gu Zhiyue, and then to the return of the mountain lord, he is still just Pei Qiuhan.

The seemingly simple shot, but it reveals a mysterious meaning and unpredictable danger.

The temperature between heaven and earth rose instantly.

An endless sea of ​​flames appeared behind the empress.

A huge fire phoenix rushed out of the sea of ​​flames and occupied the sky, making everything in the world seem so small.

The empress stretched out her blood-dripping finger, tapped the void, a drop of blood essence dripped, floated up with the breeze, and was swallowed by the fire phoenix.

Her face was even paler.

Boundless ripples suddenly appeared in the void centered on the fire phoenix, as if the entire Kunlun realm was affected.

Pei Qiuhan disappeared in place, and when he reappeared, he was on top of Huofeng's head, with his whole body hanging down, forming a seal with one hand, and bright white light burst out from his hand, pressing directly on top of Huofeng's head.

In an instant, flames criss-crossed and white light surged, perfectly dividing the sky into two colors.

……

……

The world changed color.

A line appeared in the sky.

The sea of ​​fire and the white light are separated by this line, each occupying half of the sky.

Such a spectacle is rare in thousands of years.

But no one would hold an attitude of admiration, the power contained in it, even the true qi in the body of Zi Ye and Red Lotus God General began to become disordered uncontrollably.

Standing in the sea of ​​flames, the empress stared at the looming figure in the white light and said: "In the realm of great purity, you should open up a region of great purity. Your sky-reaching region of great purity is stronger than Qiu Yuan's realm of thunder."

Pei Qiuhan emerged from the white light, with a slightly dignified expression, he said, "As expected of the blood of the True Phoenix, what's your name in the Taiqing Region?"

The empress smiled and said, "The realm of immortality."

"True Phoenix Fire, Immortal Fire, good, good name." Pei Qiuhan couldn't help admiring, and at the same time his figure disappeared into the white light again.

In the silent world, countless ear-piercing sounds suddenly sounded, like a strong wind passing through the border, and like the cry of an ancient whale in the deep sea.

The empress's long hair danced wildly, and blood overflowed from the corners of her lips. She was already injured in the previous battle with Qiu Yuan, and at this moment she was faintly approaching the extreme of Taoism.

She stepped forward on the sea of ​​flames, at a very slow speed, and stopped at the dividing line.

Looking at this scene, Ziye thought that His Majesty is indeed His Majesty.

Ji Qingyun's heart trembled slightly, thinking, Pei Qiuhan, what exactly do you want to do?Are you with the mountain master, or with Tang Ge?
Jiang Shen'er was expressionless, and she had no thoughts in her heart. She only wanted the Empress to win.

In the Tiantian courtyard, the man with a sword wound on his left eye looked at the woman standing on the dividing line between the sea of ​​fire and the white light, and a proud sword intent crazily swept out from the depths of the sea of ​​qi.

Watching the Taiqing battle also sublimated his Dao heart.

……

……

The empress stood on that line for ten breaths, and walked into the white light amidst countless shocked gazes.

If Pei Qiuhan had been hiding in Tongtianyu, she would be helpless. If she wanted to defeat him, she must take the initiative to attack. This is also the domineering spirit of a generation of kings.

The figure of the empress disappeared in the white light.

The sky is still divided between the Undead Realm and the Tongtian Realm, but everything is quiet.

Everyone in Chaotian City held their breath.

The light of the sky was blocked, and it was not known whether it was day or night. After a long time, there was a sudden slight fluctuation in Tongtianyu.

Two circles of ripples rose up, and two figures spit out.

Pei Qiuhan looked a little embarrassed, stared at the empress in shock and said, "How did you find me?"

Blood dripped from the empress' left arm for the second time. She ignored Pei Qiuhan and made a seal with both hands, and then a phoenix cry sounded.

The fire phoenix flew out of the flames and landed on top of Pei Qiuhan's head.

An unimaginable violent breath erupted from the empress's limbs and bones.

The sea of ​​flames in the sky was thicker, with the tendency to press down on the white light.

Just like the previous battle with Qiu Yuan, the fire phoenix devoured Pei Qiuhan at a terrifying speed, and instantly ignited a raging fire.

But the empress did not turn around and leave.

She stared closely at Pei Qiuhan in the flames.

Pei Qiuhan was also staring at her.

There is a thin layer of white light on the surface of his body, which is the true energy that reaches the sky. Although it looks weak, it blocks the power of the raging fire.

The fire of the real phoenix continued to burn white light, and the sound of zi la kept coming out, but it still couldn't penetrate the light curtain that seemed to be about to shatter.

The empress looked at this scene, a flame ignited at the end of her fluttering black hair.

Immediately afterwards, fire appeared on the corners of the phoenix robe.

She walked towards Pei Qiuhan, who was wrapped in firelight. It seemed slow, but it was a hundred feet long. Afterimages emerged, bringing with them some of the afterglow of the firelight.

There was a sound of rubbing.

She rushed into the flames.

Another sound of rubbing.

She burst out of the flames.

All in an instant.

She brushed past Pei Qiuhan.

The light curtain formed by the condensed pure air shattered, and just when the flames began to burn Pei Qiuhan's body, they turned into countless green smoke and dissipated.

Pei Qiuhan's pupils shrunk slightly, and he stood between the sky and the earth in a daze, his mind frozen, unable to move.

With her back turned to him, the empress spewed out a mouthful of blood, spilled into the sky and earth, and turned into countless bloody flowers.

The sea of ​​flames and white light on the sky slowly disappeared, submerged in the void.

The light did not land on the mortal world again, only countless twilight lights appeared in the sky above Chaotian City.

It turned out to be night.

Those twilight lights are full of stars.

The night wind was slightly cold and came quietly.

No one can clearly see the scene at the moment when the body was just wronged.

But the two authorities knew it well.

With the last blow, the female emperor broke through the light curtain condensed with the zhenqi of Tongtian, but at the same time dispelled the fire of the true phoenix, otherwise Pei Qiuhan would have ended up in the same fate as Qiu Yuan.

Ashes.

But at the last moment, she stopped.

"why?"

After a long time, Pei Qiuhan came back to his senses, looked up at the night sky, the stars in his eyes looked so dim, and his back was still facing the empress.

"I promised him to save your life."

The Empress walked towards the Chaotian City below without looking back, her body trembled slightly, her face became paler and paler, but no one could see her abnormality.

Pei Qiuhan still stopped under the night, the starlight fell on his clothes, giving off a layer of luster.

At a certain moment, he couldn't bear the surge of Qi and blood in his body anymore, and a mouthful of blood spurted out, and he passed out when his eyes went dark.

As he fell rapidly, he clearly felt that he was caught by someone, but he couldn't see who that person was.

……

……

The Empress walked back to Chaotian City in the dark, but she didn't show up in Daming Palace. Even Zi Ye, Ji Qingyun and others didn't know where she went.

In the small courtyard outside the east wall of Daming Palace, Nian Tianxia was lying on a bamboo chair admiring the night, but there was no relaxed and comfortable emotion on his face.

Naturally, he saw the two battles today, and the woman's bloodshed several times made him feel more and more melancholy.

crunch.

The courtyard door was pushed open.

The empress walked in, although the phoenix robe was a little torn, but still majestic.

She walked in front of Nian Tianxia, ​​all the original indifference and arrogance on her face disappeared, showing a trace of weakness, and said: "Let me lie down for a while."

Nian Tianxia nodded, and in the process of getting up, he noticed that the empress' left arm was completely stained red with blood, like a blood crystal.

The empress lay down on the bamboo chair, the night wind brushed her cheeks, although it was cold, she gradually relaxed.

She closed her eyes and let the starlight fall on her.

Nian Tianxia stared at her, shook his head, his eyes fell on her left arm, and said, "Are you okay?"

The empress did not open her eyes, and after a long time, a weak voice came out: "Brother, I will sleep for a while, don't wake me up."

Nian Tianxia was taken aback, a soft smile appeared on his face after a while.

This scene is very similar to many years ago.

At that time they were still children.
