36 Chapter 36: Water Swordgrass_1

“Qin Changqing, today I’ll rid the sect of you, a calamity!”

As soon as the words fell, a loud explosion sounded beneath Murong Aotian’s feet as he slashed down at Qin Changqing.

“Stop!”

Without any hesitation, Murong Xue spread her arms and stood in front of Qin Changqing.

Murong Aotian’s expression changed, hurriedly withdrawing his power. The flame sword slashed at the horizon, causing a startling explosion.

“Sister! What are you doing!?”

“That’s what I should ask you.” Murong Xue said coldly, “Aotian, this is so unlike you. We’re all fellow disciples, yet you want to kill him? Do you know the consequences this will bring upon you and the Murong family?”

The Lingxiao Sect had a clear rule, disciples could spar against each other.

However, intentionally attempting to kill would result in severe punishment for anyone involved.

Not to mention that Qin Changqing was Mo Jiuzhu’s disciple; even if he was just an ordinary inner sect disciple, Murong Aotian doing this would cause trouble.

“Humph! This is the Sect’s Grand Competition, it’s just a normal fight!” Murong Aotian calmed down and stared fiercely at Qin Changqing. “If you’re a man, stand up and fight me fairly! If you lose, disappear from my sister’s side forever!”

Qin Changqing spread his hands: “Don’t be impatient; I have a question for you. Murong Aotian, I get along well with your sister, so why are you so angry? I’ve heard about your family’s issues. . You want to use her as a sacrificial pawn for a marriage alliance, right? So now, since we’ve declared our love and agreed to become Taoist couple, shouldn’t you, as her brother, be happy?”

“Or are you the type who wants to see your sister jump into the fire pit? Oh, I know, I know! You’ve been bought by the Gongsun family!”

“Nonsense!” Murong Aotian’s eyes almost split open in rage. “I wish I could tear the Gongsun family apart!”

Qin Changqing nodded: “So, why are you still angry then? If you’re worried about your sister’s safety, rest assured, with me around, the Gongsun family won’t dare to act recklessly. You can focus on cultivating.”

“I… I…”

Murong Aotian glanced at Murong Xue, hesitating for a moment.

“What’s the matter?” Qin Changqing said with a smile, “Do you have any more questions? If not, you want what’s best for your sister, like not letting her marry into the Gongsun family. Her becoming my Taoist couple will not only prevent a tragedy but also allow her to continue her cultivation in the sect. If we both achieve great things in the future, it’ll be a beautiful story for the sect.”

“As they say, immortals are easy to find, but lovers are difficult to come by. We cultivators are no exception. Your sister has found her true love in me, and you should be happy for her. Come on, call me brother.”

Zhao Xiaoxiao: “???”

Umm, Brother Qin, Sister Murong’s relationship with you hasn’t quite reached the true love level yet.

Murong Xue was also speechless, but what Qin Changqing said wasn’t wrong. The Gongsun family was indeed a fire pit, and if she went there, she wouldn’t be able to escape for the rest of her life.

Brother Qin was gentle and refined, making him an ideal match.

In the secular world, finding such a perfect husband would be considered finding true love.

It seemed like there was nothing wrong with this.

However, Murong Aotian was about to explode with anger.

Happy?

Why would he be happy?

He wasn’t happy at all!

Just thinking about his beloved sister entwined with someone else, with sweet nothings and tender touches, Murong Aotian’s head was filled with rage, and the purple flame surged out again.

“If you want to marry my sister, let’s see if you have what it takes!!”

With a flick of his wrist, the flames drew a long trail in the sky, forming a terrifying flood dragon soaring into the air.

Purple Flame Sword, ninth move – Purple Flame Shines in the Sky!

The massive flood dragon came bearing down with an oppressive force; Qin Changqing raised his eyebrows, prepared to condense his sword intent to face the enemy.

At that moment, a deep blue lotus flower shot over from afar, hitting the flood dragon and causing a roaring explosion. Rumble…

“Who!?” Murong Aotian shouted angrily.

Amidst the explosion, a figure in blue appeared.

??

Qin Lingshuang held her silver sword, her face cold as she said, “With me here, who dares to harm my senior brother!”

“Who dares to harm my senior brother!”

Qin Lingshuang held her sword in her right hand, her feet stepping on a blue lotus flower, proudly standing in front of Qin Changqing.

“Sister Lingshuang?” Qin Changqing was taken aback. “How did you get here?”

“Don’t worry, brother, with me here, he won’t be able to hurt you one bit!”””Um…”

Qin Changqing thought to himself, I’m not scared. Worst comes to worst, I can just run away, especially since I already have my wife with me.

However, since Qin Lingshuang had appeared, he didn’t need to rush to leave anymore.

“Brother Qin, who is she?” Zhao Xiaoxiao whispered.

Murong Aotian also posed a similar question.

“Who are you!?”

He stared at Qin Lingshuang, his expression somewhat wary.

The sword strike just now seemed weaker than his own in terms of power.

But her understanding of swordsmanship was stronger than his own.

Qin Lingshuang said indifferently: “Fight if you want, or else just get lost.”

Murong Aotian angrily retorted: “Do you really think I’m afraid of you?”

“Then make your move.”

Qin Lingshuang flicked her wrist, and her sword transformed into a blue ripple, spreading out like water waves in all directions.

This wave of water was serene and silent, yet it contained some kind of amazing power.

Murong Aotian’s eyes narrowed.

Sword Intent!?

How could it be?

At this moment, Murong Xue suddenly spoke up: “Aotian, stop causing trouble. Don’t meddle in my affairs. Just focus on the Sect’s Grand Competition. Otherwise, you won’t be able to explain yourself to the family when you go back.”

She knew her younger brother too well.

Naturally, she could also see Murong Aotian’s apprehension.

If the two were to fight here, even if Murong Aotian could win, there were still so many people around, and he couldn’t possibly emerge unscathed.

There was still nearly half a month before the Grand Competition ended, and now was not the time to fight desperately.

Murong Aotian’s face kept changing, and just then, a sky-blue light suddenly shot out from the valley.

Boom–!

An overwhelming surge of Spiritual Qi erupted, startling all birds in the area.

Simultaneously, a powerful Sword Intent spread out from the blue light.

Buzz~~

An intense sword-humming sound suddenly rang out, and some practitioners with low cultivation were affected by the Sword Intent and fell shakily from the sky.

“Ahhhh–!”

Zhao Xiaoxiao’s strength was weak, and she couldn’t withstand it at all.

Murong Xue was also unable to endure as her injuries were not yet healed.

Qin Changqing’s heart melded with heaven and earth, so he was slightly better at resisting the sword hum. He managed to drag the two of them and shakily land on a nearby mountain peak.

Qin Lingshuang’s movement to attack paused for a moment.

At a distance, several figures looked towards the location of the blue light.

“What’s happening!?”

“There’s something wrong with the secret treasure!”

“That’s…”

“Water Swordgrass! How could it appear here?

A series of exclamations rang out.

Water Swordgrass, an extremely precious natural treasure that only grows in places with strong Sword Intent.

This grass contained powerful Sword Intent, making it an important resource for sword cultivators to comprehend Sword Intent.

Of course, comprehending Sword Intent isn’t that simple, but if one could absorb it, it would be of great help to their sword cultivation journey.
