Imperial Treasure

Chapter 1191 - 697: Sea Demons (2)

Sui Yi thought for a moment and said, "Cangwu, the sword of even flow."

It was a strike she comprehended from the moment she absorbed Cangwu’s energy.

It should be called the Cangwu Swordsmanship.

Cangwu? That’s your alias, isn’t it?

Hou Xibai sighed lightly, "In the realm of Sword Dao, Teacher’s talent is unmatched in my life."

"Does that not include her? You spare no effort for her on multiple occasions, yet how could you rank her below me," Sui Yi said indifferently.

Hmm? Hou Xibai was taken aback, then followed with a bitter smile.

But Sui Yi didn’t wait for his reply and instead turned towards the river...

At some unknown time, a small boat had drifted into the center of the river, and on it was none other than Young Master Qin Chuan.

She held the Colorless Sword, withdrawing her gaze from the severed giant wave, looking down at the... terrifying black shadow beneath the water.

Enormous beyond measure.

Her brows furrowed, her expression tense, suddenly...

Crash!

She leapt up, and the small boat upon the water bizarrely tore apart...

A water wave like a blade slashed upwards, as if to cleave Shi Feixuan in two.

Clang!!!

The Colorless Sword was drawn.

Sword Qi was pure and illustrious.

Swish... a single sword forced back a wave!

The wave was cut apart, and Shi Feixuan, as she descended, found herself without the small boat. She lightly tapped the fluctuating water, stepping onto a wooden plank, her body steady, watching as the black shadow beneath continued to swirl stubbornly, then...

Crash!

She unhesitatingly dove into the water.

"No! Miss Shi!" Hou Xibai’s face changed drastically, just about to dive in after.

"You can’t handle what’s below, listen to her, protect those who need protection, I’ll go,"

said Sui Yi before also diving into the water.

Underwater, she was more solitary and agile than on land, swimming swiftly like a shark, soon spotting the massive shadow.

What is that?

Sui Yi seemed to smell the strong fishy odor permeating the water, frowning involuntarily, but the shadow moved quickly, and at such a distance, she couldn’t make out what it was, as the creature was entirely black and perfectly blended into the seawater. Even with her night vision, she couldn’t discern any differences between the black on black, only sensing a gigantic underwater creature...

She could only rely on Magnetic Sensation to explore up close...

Swish!

Sui Yi accelerated her pace, chasing after the black shadow, but before she could approach the underwater monster, she caught a glimpse of white in her sights.

It was Shi Feixuan.

Shi Feixuan was naturally also investigating this monster’s identity, but before she could get closer, the creature seemed to have already sensed them, swinging its massive tail in attack!

It was a scorpion-like tail, fast as lightning, fierce as thunder!

Shi Feixuan’s pupils contracted...

Boom!!!

The Inner Strength in front compressed onto the Colorless Sword.

Bang Bang!

The Colorless Sword’s shield instantly shattered!

Shi Feixuan was hit by the powerful force, retreating rapidly...

And that terrifying water monster, unhurriedly turned its head...

This is~

Upon seeing the monster’s head, Shi Feixuan’s face was uncontrollable, filled with disbelief. More shocking was the fact that standing atop the water monster’s head was a black-robed man, who glanced at her, his pupils icy like a snake’s.

Snake pupils?

Suddenly, Shi Feixuan felt as if her breath was being locked down,

her head swirling with dizziness as if lacking oxygen, as if mesmerized, as if...

She slowly closed her eyes...

The black-robed man’s mouth curled into what seemed a sneer.

Suddenly.

Scratch!

The Colorless Sword sliced through her thigh, blood flowed, forcibly awakening Shi Feixuan, turning to flee...

Crash!

The massive tail whip slashed forth....

Shi Feixuan felt the immense pressure of the current behind her and the taste of blood in her chest cavity.

Could it be, she would really die here today?

Swish!!!

A beam of cold light flashed.

The tail’s end was abruptly severed, while Demon Que’s demonic eyes, like an underwater Demon God’s, glowed red, causing the Water Demon to wail, just as it was about to counterattack, suddenly....

Flute music.

Came from an unknown place, yet seemed to wash over the entire world,

Lustrous and plaintive, mournful as dust, clear as water, cold as ice.

Graceful, radiant, the clinking of jade and pearls, all failed to capture the flute music’s vastness and purity, listening, as if standing on the great plains and distant mountains, watching cattle and horses galloping, eagles circling.

No longer was there a time for tranquility of heart.

No longer was there a peaceful soul.

And this flute music sat...

In a water pavilion.

Those who had already escaped from the pavilion, including Wui Zheng and others, all looked up at the second floor of that pavilion.

Hou Xibai also looked up.

The origin of the flute music, no person was seen.

Yet it captured the soul.

——————

Sui Yi slightly tightened her grip on the sword, noticing that the red lantern eyes of the Sea Demons had suddenly diminished in redness.

The black-robed man seemed somewhat annoyed, yet somewhat fierce, emitting a strange sound, then looked distantly at Sui Yi and Shi Feixuan, his snake pupils eerily, then both the man and the Sea Demon vanished into the darkness.

Sui Yi watched the receding figures of the black-robed man and the Sea Demon, then turned to Shi Feixuan, who was also looking at her,

Silent for a moment, the latter exhaled a breath, swimming upward with Sui Yi.

Of course, Sui Yi didn’t forget to take along a small section of the tail.

Swash, swash.

Where Sui Yi and Shi Feixuan emerged onto the shore was no longer near the pavilion.

The fragrant grass was lush, Shi Feixuan lay prone by the riverbank, her moon-white robe thoroughly soaked, displaying her elegant and delicate figure prominently. Her hair, originally tied with a man’s crown, had come loose, the soaked strands clinging to her neck and falling over her shoulders, entwining her slender spine and delicate...

"Cough, cough."

Shi Feixuan coughed lightly a few times, blood in her palm, her slender brows furrowed, closing her hand, turning to look at Sui Yi, just as she was about to speak...

Only to see Sui Yi walking straight towards her.

Reaching out. Under the steady gaze of Shi Feixuan’s beautiful eyes...

Sui Yi’s fingers landed on her delicate earlobe. (To be continued. If you like this work, please visit Qidian (qidian.com) to vote for recommendation tickets and monthly tickets, your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users, please read on m.qidian.com.)
