Chapter 2422 - 2423: Actually Even Worse
Chapter 2422: Chapter 2423: Actually Even Worse
Xue An flipped his wrist, and a peculiar fragmented long sword appeared in his hand, precisely the weapon Shen Hongyi was renowned for, the Sky Sealer.
Upon seeing this scarred long sword, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s pupils shrank slightly, "She is dead?"
Xue An shook his head, "No, her Guardian Sword Spirit was exceptionally strong, saving her Sword Heart at the last moment!"
Despite this, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady’s heart remained heavy.
Because she truly couldn’t imagine how Xue An managed to defeat Shen Hongyi.
After all, in terms of strength, Shen Hongyi was far superior to Xue An.
Xue An could only rely on his realm, which exceeded his strength level.
But no matter how high a realm is, it cannot replace actual strength!
Just then, a crackling sound suddenly came from inside Xue An, followed by blood seeping through his front and back.
Cha Wenliang immediately tore open the clothes on his chest and saw a shocking scene.
Xue An’s body was crisscrossed with countless cracks, both deep and shallow.
The deep ones exposed organs, while the shallow ones revealed white bones.
At this moment, these cracks were bleeding profusely.
Cha Wenliang’s scalp tingled, he wanted to save Xue An but found no way to start.
Therefore, Xue An was like a porcelain vase shattered and pieced back together, unable to withstand any touch.
Mo Changhong was also stunned, murmuring, "No wonder he told his wife and children to stay away; he was severely injured!"
Despite this, Xue An’s face showed no sign of pain.
He took a deep breath and said to the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady, "Please open my storage ring and take out the Elixir!"
Xue An was already too weak to open the storage ring.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady immediately used force to open Xue An’s storage ring and retrieved the Elixir she gave him.
At this point, Xue An could no longer speak, only glance at Cha Wenliang.
Cha Wenliang understood and swiftly unscrewed the bottle, taking out the Elixir and putting it into Xue An’s mouth.
Afraid that Xue An might lack the strength to digest the Elixir, Cha Wenliang also drew out a Golden Needle and pricked several acupuncture points on Xue An.
Instantly, the Elixir entered his stomach, causing a flush to appear on Xue An’s face, and he slowly sat down on the ground.
"Please protect me!"
Having said that, he closed his eyes and entered deep Zen Meditation.
In a moment, points of golden light and Sword Intent enveloped his body.
Seeing this, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady and Cha Wenliang exchanged glances, nodding to each other, and then the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady took a deep breath and spoke solemnly.
"You are ordered that from now, making this the center, the area within a hundred thousand miles of void becomes a forbidden zone. Those who enter without permission will die! Retreat quickly and guard beyond the boundary!"
With one command, the subordinates brought by the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady were all bowing, whether surprised or admiring.
"Yes!"
Then they all withdrew beyond the boundary.
Compared to their actions, the Si Family’s situation was more awkward.
Because now their family grounds were entirely gone.
Many people instinctively turned their gaze to Si Mingqi.
After all, no matter how things were, Si Mingqi was still the nominal Family Head of Si Family!
Si Mingqi’s expression was stiff as he gazed at Xue An, already enveloped in golden light, his eyelids twitching.
He hadn’t expected such a turn of events.
He thought Xue An had won, but it was a tragic victory instead.
Observing these injuries, Xue An wouldn’t survive long.
But that’s how things were, saying anything else was useless.
So Si Mingqi slowly exhaled and waved his hand.
"We also retreat beyond the boundary and watch how things unfold!"
"Yes!"
In an instant, the area within a hundred thousand miles was completely emptied, leaving only Cha Wenliang and the Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady among a few others.
"Your Majesty the Empress, how long do you think it will take him to come out?" Mo Changhong asked softly.
Cha Wenliang sighed softly, "You should ask if he can come out at all!"
Mo Changhong shivered, "Is it that serious?"
"Yes! In fact, the situation is much worse than it appears! I can’t imagine how he lasted until now, including his soul; there’s nothing healthy left on him!" Cha Wenliang whispered.
Mo Changhong was deeply shocked.
The Nine Heavens Mysterious Lady said softly, "No matter what, we must wait here until...he wakes up!"
At the same time, in the depths of the distant starry sky, on the planet where the Shen Family’s headquarters was located, an altar built beneath the headquarters suddenly began to tremble and radiated a brilliant light.
A moment later, a radiant Treasured Sword shattered on the altar, turning into points of light.
Next, the points of light quickly condensed, transforming into a human form.
Shen Hongyi slowly opened her eyes, the first sight being Shen Gaoge standing under the altar with a face of disbelief.
At this moment, Shen Gaoge no longer had the lofty aura, but appeared pale and very weak.
This was a common aftereffect of Sword Spirit rebirth.
In fact, Shen Hongyi felt the same way at the moment, as though her Sword Heart remained, but her body was void of any Sword Intent.
"Hong... Hongyi, how... how did you lose to that person?" Shen Gaoge stammered.
Because he couldn’t believe that his sister, seemingly omnipotent and second only to the Second Young Master in Sword Dao among the family’s younger generation, would lose to Xue An.
Moreover, this defeat was unlike his; she went seeking revenge on purpose.
This clearly showed that she prepared fully.
Yet she still ended up with a Sword Spirit rebirth, leaving Shen Gaoge utterly bewildered.
Shen Hongyi’s expression suddenly became extremely somber.
"Get lost!"
Saying that, she bounded down the altar, heading outside.
Shen Gaoge shrank his neck upon being scolded but dared not retort, instead sheepishly following his sister.
Until they exited the altar, he couldn’t help but ask, "Hongyi, where are you going?"
"To see the Family Head!"
"Why see the Family Head?"
Shen Hongyi suddenly turned, her eyes ablaze with fury, uttering, "I want the Family Head to help me quickly get through the weak phase, restore my strength, and settle accounts with that bastard!"
With that said, Shen Hongyi turned and left swiftly.
"Do not follow me, I don’t want to see you now!"
Shen Gaoge stood ruefully, mumbling softly after a long while.
"Is it my fault for losing? What’s the logic?"
Just as he finished speaking, a thread of Sword Light shot straight at him, barely missing his ear.
Then Shen Hongyi’s voice echoed from afar.
"If I hear you speak ill of me again, beware of your ears!"
