Chapter 73 : Big Senior Sister is Formidable!
Chu Sang returned to the surface and saw the crowd gathered in discussion. After listening for a moment, she understood the general situation.
Qin Xixue had nearly pulled out the Moonlight Sword when a strange female sword cultivator suddenly appeared—
To snatch the sword!
The woman stood brazenly between her and the Moonlight Sword, forcing Qin Xixue to retreat. If she dared take one step forward, she would immediately be struck down by the woman.
The woman wore a black tight-sleeved robe with black and red accents. Her short hair seemed to have been cut by herself with a knife, somewhat uneven.
She had a red headband tied around her forehead and held a pitch-black iron sword. Her figure was slender, with a murderous aura that warned others to keep their distance.
Most eye-catching was the enormous sword case on her back, which looked to weigh a thousand jin. Yet her movements remained as light as the wind, completely unburdened by it.
"Not bad, I'll take it," the woman nodded, satisfied, and moved to pull out the Moonlight Sword.
"Stop!"
Qin Xixue was desperate. "That's mine, you can't take it!"
"You... want to snatch it?" The woman tilted her head in confusion.
Qiu Xiude was furious. "This sword was originally spotted by our sect's junior sister. You're the one who came out of nowhere to steal it!"
Qin Xixue absolutely refused to let the Moonlight Sword be taken by someone else. Her hand behind her back flashed with a hidden weapon, intending to sneak attack the woman. The next second, the sword case opened, and a spirit sword shot out, slicing the hidden weapon in two. Its momentum undiminished, it continued straight towards her!
Qin Xixue was so frightened she forgot to run.
Fortunately, at the critical moment, Mo Qingchen blocked the strike with his sword, preventing her from being beheaded.
But the affected sword energy still sent Qin Xixue flying several meters, making her cough up blood.
She was shocked to realize the woman before her was at the Nascent Soul realm, with terrifying talent no weaker than Mo Qingchen's.
Who was this person?! Wasn't there supposed to be a cultivation limit in the ghost city? How did she get in?
People from other sects were also in an uproar, speculating about her identity. Could she be a true disciple from some major sect who had just emerged from seclusion?
"...Damn, how did Big Senior Sister get here? She came out of seclusion without sending any notice?" Tantai Ming scratched his head and lowered his voice, afraid others would realize this female sword-robber was their sect's Big Senior Sister.
"Looks like Big Senior Sister's seclusion was quite successful. She's reached Nascent Soul and even subdued that sword case. Amazing!" Wen Renyue looked up in admiration.
Chu Sang also exclaimed. So this woman was the Big Senior Sister she had never met. But... something seemed off.
"Strange, why do I feel like Big Senior Sister doesn't recognize us?"
There were only about twenty people present. Logically, they should be easily recognizable as her handsome and beautiful junior brothers and sisters.
Big Senior Sister hadn't even given them a glance the entire time, looking... quite unfamiliar?
Tantai Ming coughed lightly to hide his embarrassment and said weakly, "Big Senior Sister is face-blind, she doesn't recognize people..."
"Did you see that huge sword case on her back? It can hold a hundred swords. She knows every single one of her swords clearly, can call out each sword's name, and even remembers exactly how long they are, how much they weigh, and what attributes they have," the young man said with a world-weary tone. "But we've been with her for ten years, and she still can't tell us apart."
Wen Renyue sighed. "The last time I met Big Senior Sister was a few years ago. She said to me, 'Xiao Huai, your hair has grown longer again. You're looking more and more like a little girl.'"
Mu Chihuai: "...Don't say anymore. It's giving me a headache."
Chu Sang: "..." Everyone in this sect was, to varying degrees, a bit outrageous.
"What the hell, that female cultivator is your senior sister!" Zhao Yun, the simpleton, shouted as if afraid others wouldn't know. His face darkened slightly. "Stop hiding it. You lot, which hidden sect are you really from?"
"Damn, do you have dog ears? How did you hear that?" Tantai Ming kicked him away. How dare he eavesdrop on them!
Zhao Yun, who had maxed out his evasion skills after being bullied by Chu Sang all along the way, took down a small iron plate that had been hanging on Tantai Ming's back at some point. He waved it arrogantly. "You country bumpkins haven't seen this before, have you?"
"Hah, I've long suspected your sect had secrets. You can't hide anything from me!"
Isn't this just a cultivation world version of a listening device? Chu Sang turned to look at Su Chen'an. "Fifth Senior Brother, this thing's not bad. Let's refine a few to sell!"
Zhao Yun expressed his disdain for their imitation. "Don't change the subject. What sect are you really from? Is that female cultivator really your Big Senior Sister? She's at Nascent Soul realm!"
Looking at the entire history of the Eight Great Immortal Sects, there were hardly any personal disciples at the Nascent Soul realm.
Chu Sang took out a message jade butterfly to show him. Their Lingqing Sect was genuinely ranked exactly 1000th, without any inflation.
Zhao Yun fell silent. He had actually been tricked by disciples from a small sect ranked 1000th. The more he thought about it, the more indignant he felt.
Looking back at the other side, Big Senior Sister was facing off against the Tianyan Sect group. Chu Sang was a bit worried. "Mo Qingchen's strength isn't weak, and Qin Xixue has all sorts of heavenly and earthly treasures. Will Big Senior Sister be in danger? Are we really not going to help?"
Mu Chihuai said, "I can only say, stay far away. When the fighting starts, run as far as you can."
"Big Senior Sister cultivates the Way of Killing to End Killing. When she fights, she's like a madwoman with no regard for her life, not even recognizing her own family," Wen Renyue said, seemingly recalling some terrifying scene with lingering fear. "If you dare go help, perhaps the one who kills us won't be the Tianyan Sect, but Big Senior Sister."
Chu Sang: "..." How did this become even more outrageous?
Wu Wo looked at Mo Qingchen opposite her and said calmly, "Interesting."
The young man felt insulted. He, who had always been proud and arrogant, had never before encountered someone speaking to him in such a condescending tone.
His eyes turned cold, a flash of light from his hand. He stepped on the snow, sword light rising fiercely in all directions, embodying its master's merciless principles.
A full-force strike from someone at the peak of late Golden Core stage was comparable to Nascent Soul. It broke through Wu Wo's heavy sword and slashed towards her.
The woman's expression remained cold and indifferent. She didn't move at all as another flying sword shot out from the sword case.
Fortunately, Mo Qingchen dodged in time. He was only grazed by a sword energy, which cut through a layer of skin on his neck, drawing blood.
One can imagine that if he had deviated even slightly, he would undoubtedly have been beheaded.
Where he had been standing moments before, a crater several meters deep had been blasted. Everyone present drew in a sharp breath.
This person's strength was terrifyingly formidable!
The woman's demeanor was as cold as a calm sea surface, but her moves revealed surging undercurrents of killing intent, leaving no room for survival. She was like a well-trained blade of slaughter, devoid of any human sentiment.
Mo Qingchen was startled by a thought that flashed through his mind. He gripped his long sword even tighter, his knuckles turning white.
He could handle one of her swords.
With two swords coming at him, he could barely fight for a few rounds.
But what about three, four, five swords... He only had one sword.
Taking advantage of their entanglement, Qin Xixue hurried to pull out the Moonlight Sword from the mound.
