"Swish!" The blade light, far surpassing Zhao Changhe's usual strength and speed, swept towards the old man from the Lu family.

The old man dodged and appeared behind Zhao Changhe, pointing his sword at the back of his neck.

In his frenzy, Zhao Changhe didn't care whether his neck would be pierced or not. He twisted his body and swung his blade, as if he wanted to cut the old man in half!

The old man didn't dare to forcefully resist and retreated after deflecting the force.

His swordsmanship was indeed exquisite. During this process of retreating and deflecting, the tip of his sword had already grazed Zhao Changhe's hand. Normally, the opponent would not be able to hold onto the blade, but at this moment, Zhao Changhe was completely unaware and continued his relentless attack. His wide blade swung like a windmill, occupying the entire space.

The old man didn't dare to directly confront the sharpness of the blade and retreated once again, feeling somewhat sorrowful.

He had become too weak, no longer possessing the power of the ninth level of Xuan Guan. After all, he was just an ordinary person. As he grew older, even if his internal strength was profound, his body couldn't keep up. He couldn't withstand the intense battle anymore.

Even before entering this place, the two moves he exchanged with Zhao Changhe seemed light and casual, but in reality, they couldn't be too intense. Otherwise, he would have tried to defeat the other party long ago... but he couldn't do it.

After entering this place, countless sword energies attacked densely. He used various defensive moves to reach the entrance of the main tomb, but his vitality and strength had already declined. In terms of internal strength alone, he might still be at the ninth level, but his physical condition was worse than that of an untrained weakling. How much of his true combat power could he unleash?

On the other hand, Zhao Changhe's "Heaven and Earth Without Me" power enhancement was outrageous.

How could this violent power be at the fifth level of Xuan Guan? It could even rival the sixth or seventh level. Even if he encountered such an opponent outside, it would be very troublesome, not to mention that the environment was filled with sword energies that could cut through anything. Zhao Changhe fearlessly allowed himself to be freely attacked by the sword energies. Could he do the same?

Even the space for evasive maneuvers and cleverly countering the enemy was restricted. He had to constantly divert his attention to deal with the sword energies.

The old man sadly realized that he could only slightly surpass this madman, and the more they fought, the weaker he became, possibly falling into a disadvantage.

A hero in his twilight years. This was what filled his heart.

He couldn't delay any longer. He had to end it quickly!

A fierce light flashed in the old man's eyes, and he suddenly made a move that was incomprehensible to the onlookers.

He actually approached the peak of Zhao Changhe's blade, no longer avoiding its sharpness to find a weak point.

The dragon and sparrow swept towards his head, and the old man raised his sword to block. Obviously, he couldn't withstand this violent power, and his sword was bent. He stumbled and fell towards the entrance of the main tomb.

In his frenzy, Zhao Changhe couldn't think. Naturally, he pursued and struck, vowing to kill his enemy in one blow!

"Oh no!" Sisi suddenly realized that the old man hadn't completed the act of "provoking the main tomb" that he was doing before. Their arrival had interrupted it. He didn't want to entangle with the two of them anymore, so he used himself as bait to lure Zhao Changhe's violent power to strike the door!

Sisi didn't have time to remind him. Zhao Changhe's blade had already reached the door. She was angry and stomped her foot, but she also couldn't help but admire the old man's dedication to the family. He was willing to go to such lengths.

However, as soon as this mix of anger and admiration arose, it choked her up.

Zhao Changhe's blade didn't actually strike the door. Instead, as if he had anticipated it, while the old man was desperately dodging, the blade automatically followed him.

The old man: "?"

Sisi: "?"

They completely misjudged the trajectory of the blade. How could they dodge at the last moment?

The old man reluctantly blocked the blade with his sword, and the dragon and sparrow struck the sword, finally splitting it into two. The old man took advantage of the situation to retreat, his chest covered in blood.

At this moment, he couldn't dodge the sword energies from both sides anymore. The sound of the wind swept past, and the old man was already covered in wounds.

"You... " He covered his chest, looking at Zhao Changhe in disbelief. "You have reason! Your previous madness was all an act!"

Zhao Changhe grinned. "Your grandson or great-grandson can pretend to be crazy, but I can't?"

His eyes remained bloodshot, his face still ferocious. He shouted, "You can be respected, but your starting point is wrong. The more remarkable you are, the greater the harm! Not to mention whether the Sword Emperor will be revived, just considering how many people will be harmed by this evil aura sweeping through Gusu, do you care about that? You only care about your Lu family being prepared in advance, so you can dominate Gusu! Do you think you're a hero? Fuck you!"

With a loud shout, the dragon and sparrow rose again, directly aiming for the old man's chest!

The old man was about to retreat to dodge, but a powerful force came from behind him. Sisi, who was observing the battle, confirmed that Zhao Changhe actually had reason and finally made a move to attack together!The old man was exhausted and could no longer avoid the attacks. He stopped dodging and allowed the dragon and sparrow to strike his chest, while a dagger stabbed into his back. He swung his broken sword to the side and aimed it at the main gate of Zhuling!

"Oh no!" Zhao Changhe didn't expect this, and he couldn't intercept the broken sword in time.

A look of madness flashed in the old man's eyes, but it quickly disappeared.

Sisi suddenly appeared and grabbed the hilt of the broken sword just as it was about to hit the gate.

The air seemed to freeze for a moment. Zhao Changhe's blade had already chopped into the old man's chest, breaking several ribs and almost splitting him in half.

The dying gaze of the old man remained fixed on the gate.

In fact, he had no idea how much progress he needed to make in order to trigger the violent aura of Zhuling. Whether it was his previous guidance of Zhao Changhe's attack or his final throw, it didn't mean that it would be successful with just one more strike. But at this point, everyone present subconsciously felt that it was just one strike away...

The old man muttered to himself, "Just one strike... just one strike... all of you..."

Zhao Changhe and Sisi looked at each other in silence.

But at this moment, the gate suddenly shook violently. The faint sense of an earthquake became even more pronounced, making it almost impossible to stand steady. The surrounding sword qi no longer attacked them, but instead gathered together like a roaring tornado, shooting straight into the sky.

The old man laughed triumphantly, "It's done! It's done! Victory belongs to my family, haha... hahaha!"

Amidst the laughter, he completely lost his breath.

Zhao Changhe stood up straight, inserted his sword into the ground, and supported his blood-soaked body. "Could it really be? Did we do all this for nothing..."

Sisi whispered, "Don't worry, we interrupted him, so the result is far from what he expected... at least there are no signs of the Sword Emperor's revival."

Zhao Changhe sensed it slightly and nodded, "I can sense the 'emotions' of the aura here. It was the old man's 'provocation' that made the aura angry and caused it to be drawn outside, finding a vent and rushing up. The space didn't collapse, so our efforts weren't in vain."

Sisi said, "Is this situation still okay? At least we won't be killed inside by the collapsing space."

Zhao Changhe said, "This aura has condensed into a single form of sword qi. It seems that it won't spread and engulf Suzhou. At most, it will rush up to the Sword Pool. As long as the people outside can control this gathering sword qi..."

Sisi sighed, "It seems so, but there are two problems."

"What are they?"

"First, if Mile comes, the Tang family might be finished. Who will control this sword qi, Mile?"

"..."

"Second..." Sisi's voice seemed to be squeezed out from between her teeth, "Since the space didn't collapse and only the sword qi rushed out... how do we leave this place?"

Zhao Changhe stood up straight, took a deep breath, and said, "Since it's just the aura surrounding a sword shape... when it rushes up, can't we just hitch a ride behind it?"

Sisi widened her eyes, "Are you crazy? You don't need the sword qi to kill you. Just the bloody aura surrounding it can kill any living creature that gets close... uh..."

"Yes, ordinary creatures may not be able to approach such a concentrated aura, but that's what I've been practicing." Zhao Changhe opened his arms, "As long as you dare to hide in my arms, I dare to take you out."

Sisi felt that this was the most unfortunate thing she had ever done in her life... She had come here from the beginning just to find the so-called treasure of the aura, but she ended up being brought to a dead end where she couldn't escape. She had fought with people inside without knowing why, and after the fight, she didn't get anything and had to be held by someone.

Where is the treasure? What did I come here for?

Zhao Changhe seemed to understand what she was thinking and whispered, "The entrance is clear now, and the exit may also be opened by this sword qi... as long as we don't die this time, can't we come back in the future?"

Sisi said, "In the future, either the Mile Sect will ravage this place, or you and the Tang family will control it. You might kick me out."

Zhao Changhe smiled faintly, "If you have half of this place, even if Tang Wanzhuang comes, I won't exclude you. I'll even turn against her."

"What's the use of turning against her? Who are you... Tang Wanzhuang might kick you out too, idiot..." Sisi muttered, but she finally didn't say anything else. She carefully approached him and nestled in his blood-soaked embrace.

Zhao Changhe looked up at the sky. The ancient sword shape had finally completely condensed and then rose into the sky amidst the swirling bloodthirsty aura.
