Try it at a deserted, empty ferry crossing!
They could just pack up and go.
The ferry crossing, which had become deserted due to the chaos caused by the Demon Yin, is still in a semi-closed state, even though the chaos was relatively small and has been resolved.
As a member of the Cloud Cavalry, Su Chang was naturally allowed to enter.
"Let's do it here."
Her figure was blocked by the tall cargo box, and Su Chang walked in with great interest.
Deep in the ferry crossing, Su Chang sensed something was amiss.
"Is there a problem with the temperature control? It feels a bit cold."
Su Chang shrugged her shoulders.
Suddenly, a loud noise came.
"Huh? What happened?"
Su Chang looked around.
"Is anyone there? Hold on, the Cloud Cavalry is coming!"
She drew the Xuanyuan Heavy Sword and ran wildly after the sound.
After running around two corners, the scene before her eyes left Su Chang stunned.
Between the steps, sword light flashed, the sharp blades were not visible, but the sharp sword light flashed by, and the chill became a fleeting presence in this space.
Moisture in the air condensed into frost and slowly slid down, and thin, icy blue lines appeared on the throats of several demonic cultivators.
Glug glug.
His head rolled to the ground, but his neck, which should have been gushing blood, was frozen solid, and not a single drop of blood fell to the ground.
She was a white-haired beauty wearing a black half-mask with gold patterns and her eyes covered with a black veil.
Two demonic demons and a wounded Cloud Cavalryman were lying on the ground.
"..."
Su Chang opened her mouth, but before she could make a sound, she saw the white-haired beauty suddenly turn her head to look at her.
Caught off guard, the icy and sharp sword intent made Su Chang feel as if she were in a snowy wonderland.
But the next second, a scene appeared that left Su Chang dazed and completely dumbfounded.
The imposing white-haired beauty's lips curved into a slight smile, her tone cool yet gentle:
"Sister Sushang, you've arrived."
"Ah...you know me?"
Su Chang pointed a finger at herself, somewhat dazed, completely bewildered.
Why doesn't she have any recollection of the person in front of her?
Upon hearing this, Jingliu frowned slightly, but when his gaze fell upon the two injured Cloud Riders lying on the ground, he paused and remained silent for a moment.
"I see."
After parting ways with Qiong, Jingliu investigated Sushang's information, but no matter how he looked at it, she was just a newcomer to the Cloud Cavalry, with nothing unusual about her.
There seems to be only one possibility: Su Chang is hiding.
Although Jingliu didn't know why she was hiding, the other party must have had her own reasons. However, given the other party's background and upbringing, it was highly unlikely that she would do anything harmful to Luofu. Therefore, the reason had nothing to do with her.
"?"
A question mark popped out on Su Chang's forehead.
I see?
It does not make sense?
What did you understand?
"Thanks to that guy, the blade is sharp and clear-headed enough right now."
His delicate lips parted slightly, and Jingliu's mouth curved into a passionate smile.
She stroked the blade, and ice crystals climbed along her fingertips, forming patterns.
"As agreed, let me see what the Great Void is!"
"Sister Su Chang, please enlighten me!"
Jingliu flicked his finger across the spine of the sword, pointing it at the brown-haired girl.
"……what?"
Su Chang was completely bewildered from beginning to end, her mind a jumbled mess due to the bizarre situation.
What is all this nonsense?!
However, she did understand what her younger sister meant!
He wanted to spar with himself and see what his own Taixu Sword Technique was like.
Such incidents also occur frequently in the military.
Su Chang was quite confident in her swordsmanship.
Her mother said she had a natural talent for swordsmanship!
"All right!"
Realizing what was happening, Su Chang immediately puffed out her chest, which couldn't yet be called a large pillow, and proudly said:
"Then let me show you my Taixu Sword Technique."
Su Chang raised the Xuanyuan Sword with both hands, and amidst Jing Liu's expression—a mixture of strangeness, brilliance, and eeriness—she shouted:
"The Form of the Great Void—Phoenix, Manifest!"
PS:
266
Chapter 266 From today onwards, we'll each talk our own thing.
The sparring match between Su Chang and Jing Liu ended quickly.
Su Chang's turn: activate the finishing move, and the phoenix, hidden within the void, manifests.
In Mirror Flow's turn, enter the Soul Transformation state, use a single sword strike followed by a basic attack.
Su Chang failed to solo the BOSS, total score: 0.
Forget about breaking through its defenses, I couldn't even touch the corner of the BOSS's clothes.
The sword stopped just before Su Chang's throat, and Jing Liu stared at the brown-haired girl in front of him.
The foolishness that flowed in her bright apricot eyes, as clear as a stream, was gradually replaced by shock, shock, bewilderment, and confusion.
Jingliu fell silent.
Something seems off.
Is this girl really 'Sister Su Chang'?
If so, Jingliu can only say that Su Chang's acting skills are truly superb. She portrayed the shortcomings of a novice swordsmanship so vividly, and her reaction to being frightened was incredibly lifelike!
Furthermore, the form and essence of the Great Void she had just sensed were completely different from the Great Void she had experienced before; they were two realms worlds apart.
As for the phoenix's form, she had to admire 'Sister Su Chang' for shaping the phoenix's form into that way, making it very difficult for her to portray.
Considering that Su Chang hadn't shown the slightest abnormality over the past few decades, which required vivid and realistic acting skills, it was logically plausible.
"Sister Su Chang, we agreed to spar when we meet again. Since you've gone to all this trouble to find me, why don't you draw your sword?"
Unaware that his identity had been exposed, Jingliu continued to play the innocent.
"..."
Ice Frost went crazy, and Su Chang opened her eyes.
The brown-haired girl stood frozen in place, her hair covered with tiny ice crystals, her mouth agape.
I've already paid!
I used my ultimate move right away!
What's going on here?!
Before she could even see when the other person raised their sword, her vision was filled with the azure moonlight. She watched helplessly as her ethereal form froze in the moonlight, shattering into countless ice grains.
As the crescent-shaped ice blade approached, an invisible pressure made her feel short of breath, and even the sensation of pain was stripped away, leaving only a chilling cold seeping from the depths of her bones, a chill that made her soul tremble.
Because he hadn't met his opponent in a long time, Jingliu was filled with excitement, so he didn't warm up but instead gave a slightly more serious 'greeting'.
One sword strike completely transformed Su Chang's mindset from one of unwavering courage to one of utter panic.
If this person hadn't stopped in time, Su Chang felt she would have been dead, her body turned into an ice sculpture!
Even now, as she tries to step back, the area within a ten-meter radius is covered with ice cracks, and the soles of her boots have somehow been welded to the ice.
Su Chang's Adam's apple bobbed, and the saliva she swallowed seemed to carry a chill.
She almost died!
Mother is right. With her rudimentary skills, she's far from being good enough. She must not be arrogant or complacent when she's out in public; she must remain humble and cautious.
Su Chang had a slight understanding of the phrase "a world apart".
"Bah!"
Su Chang spat out the ice shards from her mouth, stroking her unharmed body all over, and looked at Jing Liu with trepidation, cautiously probing:
"Who...who are you? I don't know you!!!"
Su Chang was devastated and felt wronged; she truly did not recognize the white-haired beauty in front of her.
The other person even calls her "sister"?
In Xianzhou, you wouldn't address someone like that unless you have absolute confidence in your age.
Younger than me, yet so skilled, with unparalleled swordsmanship and a magnificent rooster-comb skirt—where did this genius swordsman come from?
Upon hearing this, Jing Liu froze on the spot, bowing his head in deep thought. His gaze fell on the Cloud Knight soldier lying on the ground, who was almost dumbfounded, and his icy eyebrows twitched slightly.
Her cherry lips parted slightly, and she uttered a sound that was both helpless and frustrated:
"Alright, since Sister Su Chang is unwilling to compete this time, then we can spar another time. Quickly take the two of them to heal their injuries. Farewell."
Jingliu shattered the ice blade in his hand with a flick of his finger, then turned and stepped over the corpses of demons scattered on the ground to leave.
Is it because the Cloud Cavalry is there that they don't want to expose themselves?
Or is it that the brown-haired girl in front of us is not the 'Sister Su Chang' we met before?
The difference is just too great; it's something that can't be acted out!
It's like asking a top NBA star to perform the basketball moves that Chicken Brother used when he raps and dances; absolutely no one could perfectly imitate that.
It's ingrained in your bones, forming an instinctive muscle movement; it's harder to deliberately act bad than good.
Therefore, Kagami is more inclined to believe the second one.
However, the possibility of the first one cannot be ruled out.
Who exactly is Su Chang?
She decided to go back and investigate further.
"...Huh?"
After standing there dumbfounded for a while, Su Chang reached out and waved to the departing figure, "Explain this to me!"
You almost killed me with a single sword strike?
Just like that, he left?
And next time you spar... do you want to kill her again?
