Chapter 703: Chapter 432: Old Feelings

Just at the moment before Duan Rong drew his saber, no one noticed, not even Duan Rong himself, that a tear slipped down Lv Qingzhu’s cheek…

On her beautiful yet icy face, a single tear slid down, like a meteor falling in the dark night.

Just as Lv Qingzhu’s Sword Aura was about to slice open Duan Rong’s throat, the white light of his saber flashed, and the Saber Aura burst forth!

Duan Rong’s Saber Aura and Lv Qingzhu’s Sword Aura intertwined!

Lv Qingzhu’s cultivation was a small Realm higher than Duan Rong’s. Duan Rong was at the Third Level of the Primordial Qi Realm, while Lv Qingzhu had already achieved the Fourth Level of the Primordial Qi Realm.

Although Duan Rong’s Saber Aura seemed more elusive compared to the real Mental Realm Blade Aura of a Qi Vortex Realm Martial Artist, it was much more solid than Lv Qingzhu’s Sword Aura.

Even though Duan Rong was a small Realm lower than Lv Qingzhu, he managed to momentarily fend off Lv Qingzhu’s attack by leveraging the advantage of his Saber Aura!

Their forms moved with ghostly speed at the edge of the dense forest, going back and forth! Each clash of Saber Aura and Sword Aura emitted an eerie sound of space being torn!

The tearing sounds were as dense as raindrops!

Only at this point did Lu Geng and Wang Yue burst out from the dense forest.

As soon as they emerged from the forest, they saw Duan Rong and Lv Qingzhu entangled in combat and froze on the spot.

Not far away, at the edge of the flames by the cliff wall, Wu Shidao approached Fan Hongjiao’s side, watching Duan Rong and Lv Qingzhu’s fight while saying solemnly, “Senior Sister, is that the Saber Aura?!”

Wu Shidao, always deep-thinking and able to stay calm under pressure, found his voice slightly trembling at this moment.

Fan Hongjiao just hummed in a voice as faint as a mosquito’s, but in truth, her heart was also tumultuous.

Seeing Fan Hongjiao’s calm reaction, Wu Shidao continued, “But our junior brother, he’s only at the Third Level of the Primordial Qi Realm! How could this be?!”

Fan Hongjiao looked at the flickering figures at the forest’s edge and said, “Do you recognize the woman exchanging blows with our junior brother?”

Wu Shidao shook his head, saying, “I don’t recognize her well. I don’t think I’ve seen her before.”

Fan Hongjiao said, “That woman is also at the Primordial Qi Realm, but she has also comprehended the Sword Intent. Although her Sword Aura is not as solid as Duan Rong’s Saber Aura, it’s not weak either.”

Wu Shidao’s eyes moved, “This woman… seems a bit like someone…”

Fan Hongjiao turned her head, “You’ve noticed it too.”

Six years ago, Lv Qingzhu was only fourteen years old, just at the age of a blossoming young girl. She often played among the peaks of the sect.

Back then, Wu Shidao and Fan Hongjiao had both seen her.

However, since six years ago, she hadn’t shown her face again, and over these six years, her appearance and temperament had changed.

Moreover, Fan Hongjiao and Wu Shidao had been shocked by Duan Rong’s sudden release of the Saber Aura and hadn’t had time to think closely about the woman.

Duan Rong being able to unleash the Saber Aura meant that he had already comprehended the Saber Intent!

He had only advanced to the Primordial Qi Realm a little more than half a year ago!

Fan Hongjiao and Wu Shidao, when they comprehended Mental Realm and advanced to the Qi Vortex Realm, had gone through countless hardships and desperation. It was a grueling process, full of difficulties and injuries, to finally comprehend Mental Realm and use its power to form a Qi Vortex.

It was over a decade of arduous cultivation!

How come for Duan Rong, it seemed as easy as a breeze, nonchalantly comprehending Saber Intent and unleashing Saber Aura!

Accomplishing the Third Level of the Primordial Qi Realm in just half a year was shocking enough! Who would have thought that our junior brother had also comprehended the Saber Intent!

What a freak he is!

What a genius he is!

No wonder the master values him so much?!

After fighting for a while, Duan Rong gradually began to fall behind.

Although Duan Rong’s Saber Intent surpassed Lv Qingzhu’s Sword Intent, the gap in cultivation was still significant. Lv Qingzhu had advanced to the Fourth Level of the Primordial Qi Realm for half a year, almost reaching the Great Perfection of the Primordial Qi Realm.

As the battle dragged on, it became evident that Duan Rong was at a disadvantage!

The immense power generated by the clash of Saber Aura and Sword Aura gradually shook Duan Rong’s hands into continuous trembles. This was precisely due to his insufficient cultivation level, unable to suppress the great counterforce.

The shadows of the sword in Lv Qingzhu’s grip grew faster and faster, and Duan Rong’s Saber Aura flickered as he staggered backward.

Fan Hongjiao had clearly recognized the situation on the field; Duan Rong was clearly struggling to hold on. She mobilized her Primordial Qi within her Dantian, and the shadow of the whip in her hand flicked over.

The tip of the Python Whip in Fan Hongjiao’s hand wrapped around and clung to Lv Qingzhu’s sword.

Fan Hongjiao, after all, was already a formidable expert at the Third Level of the Qi Vortex Realm. No matter how skilled Lv Qingzhu was, how could she withstand Fan Hongjiao’s whip?

However, Fan Hongjiao merely held back Lv Qingzhu’s weapon to prevent harm; she didn’t dare truly injure Lv Qingzhu.
