Chapter 274: Qian Renxue's Heart Trembles! The Terrifying 40-Meter Longsword!_1

Qian Renxue soared away to a distance.

Her red lips slightly parted, exuding a fragrant breath.

The golden skirt on her body was already marked with numerous scratches.

The clothes did not cover her body well, revealing glimpses of skin.

Even though her fair skin wasn't bleeding, it bore several red sword marks.

The veil fluttered away in the wind, revealing a stunningly beautiful face.

Elegant eyebrows and a fair complexion surpassing snow.

A straight nose bridge, slender phoenix eyes, and a strikingly beautiful face with a touch of sharpness.

She exuded an indescribable charm.

Even Luo Yu, who was accustomed to seeing beautiful women, was momentarily stunned.

She was indeed too beautiful, like a goddess descending to the mortal world, a figure straight out of a painting.

"Huff, huff!"

Qian Renxue's chest heaved, her purple pupils filled with shock.

Ignoring the tattered clothes and not having time to consider her revealed true face,

she stared intently at Luo Yu.

"At such a young age, how can you possess such strength?"

"Was that soul skill you used just now... self-created?"

Luo Yu didn't answer her question, instead, he took a piece of clothing from his storage space and tossed it to Qian Renxue.

"Beauty, you had a wardrobe malfunction," he said.

"Wear this."

Reminded, Qian Renxue snapped out of her shock, feeling the coolness on her skin.

She covered herself, biting her teeth in vexation, "Who wants to wear your clothes."

Her Angelic Holy Sword lifted, bringing up a blaze.

The flying clothing was instantly burned to ashes.

Luo Yu wasn't upset and spoke nonchalantly, "If you don't wear it, that's fine. It just gives me a legitimate reason to appreciate the view."

Qian Renxue felt uncomfortable all over as if being seen through by Luo Yu's unabashed gaze.

Unfortunately, her storage belt was too masculine to bring when she left.

She somewhat regretted impulsively burning Luo Yu's clothing.

Now she didn't know what to do.

If the fight continued, she was confident she could overcome Luo Yu, but she estimated that her entire body would be thoroughly exposed to him in the process.

If she left like this, letting this man go, she couldn't swallow her pride.

In her dilemma, another piece of clothing flew towards her.

"The last one. If you burn it, there won't be any left," the man's voice came. "It's up to you."

Qian Renxue pursed her lips and caught the clothes.

Tying it around her slender waist, she covered up her pert derriere.

As for the view at the front, she had no choice but to let Luo Yu have a good look.

She looked at Luo Yu again.

A flush appeared on her snow-white cheeks, but it quickly dissipated, turning cold.

"Why help me when I want to kill you?"

Luo Yu held up two fingers.

"First, you can't kill me," he said.

"Second, even if it's a woman who's an enemy, I believe she deserves respect; one may kill, but there's no need to humiliate."

Luo Yu's words were calm, yet they seemed to strike straight into Qian Renxue's heart,

making her heart flutter slightly.

Who doesn't like a forthright man?

It's hard to find a man with strength, and even harder to find one with character.

After an initial exchange of moves and conversation, Qian Renxue grew curious about this man.

Suddenly, she didn't want to kill him anymore.

She cleared her throat, her gaze on the man.

"You are strong, and you've earned my respect," she said.

"To be honest, you're the first man on Soul Land to astonish me."

"You're a pleasant surprise. I don't feel like killing you anymore."

"To create your own soul skill at such a young age is indeed remarkable. No wonder you've received two divine inheritances."

"Given time, it's possible you could catch up to me."

"Join the Martial Soul Hall. You don't need to offer anything in return; I can let you go today."

"If one day you can conquer me with your strength, I might consider giving you a chance."

Luo Yu slowly shook his head, his expression becoming more solemn, his eyes deepening.

He twisted his wrist, drawing a bright silver sword flower.

The sword tip pointed directly at Qian Renxue.

"No need to wait for one day," he said.

"Today—"

"Until I defeat you."

Qian Renxue's purple pupils shuddered, suddenly feeling an intense aura sweeping over her.

Luo Yu at this moment was completely different from before.

His upright stance, the swung sword blade, and the solemn expression on his face,

caused Qian Renxue to be slightly in a daze. In her heart, which had never been moved before, a special feeling arose.

She opened her red lips, and a cool voice came forth.

"I too hope that the younger generation has someone who can defeat me, but you're still far from being able to do so."

"You may have had the upper hand just now because I underestimated your strength and did not go all out."

"Don't you know, reaching level 70 and acquiring the Martial Soul True Body means a qualitative change in strength, something you, who have not yet become a Soul Sage, cannot compare with?"

Unmoved, Luo Yu said, "No need for more words, make your move."

Qian Renxue shook her head, her golden hair billowing.

"Stubborn."

"I hope you can still maintain that confidence against my full force."

This time, she didn't hold back, and her seventh black soul ring began pulsating rapidly.

"Seventh Soul Skill: Angelic True Body!"

"Boom!"

A colossal, blazing six-winged angelic goddess silhouette suddenly appeared behind Qian Renxue.

Beams of golden light shot out from Qian Renxue, illuminating the surroundings.

At this moment, she seemed like a golden sun, radiating light in all directions, a holy flame erupting.

Blinding golden light spread across the entire valley.

Her aura climbed continuously, breaking through the boundary of a Soul Sage and reaching the realm of a Soul Douluo, ultimately even displaying the might that only a Titled Douluo could exhibit.

Qian Renxue emerged from the dazzling golden light, suspended high in the sky.

The Angelic Holy Sword in her hand blazed with a radiant holy flame.

She stood high above, looking down at Luo Yu on the ground as if she were a true divine spirit.

"Submit to me, or die."

"You—"

"There is no other choice!"

Faced with the overwhelming pressure rolling in from Qian Renxue, excitement flashed through Luo Yu's eyes.

"Interesting!"

"Worthy of being a God-level Martial Soul holder, you indeed have the capital to be proud."

"But today you're up against me."

"You will lose."

Luo Yu no longer suppressed his own Soul Power.

It burst forth suddenly.

"Boom!"

The entire mountain valley trembled in a moment, with Soul Power surging beyond all peers of the same generation.

The surface of the Nine Heavens Execution Sword revealed five blood-red soul rings, glowing extremely vividly.

Pulsing rapidly up and down.

After Qian Renxue executed her Martial Soul True Body, she had entered a state of ruthless focus.

But upon seeing Luo Yu's five blood soul rings, her delicate body trembled violently.

Her red lips parted in shock.

"How... how is this possible?"

"Five hundred-thousand-year soul rings?"

"No, it's not just as simple as hundred-thousand-year soul rings."

"Is this a soul ring configuration that humans can possess?"

Born into an illustrious family and with unparalleled insights, Qian Renxue even prided herself as being the foremost amongst the younger generation.

But on seeing Luo Yu's soul rings, she was shocked senseless.

"Five soul rings exceeding a hundred thousand years, five full rings, how did this guy do it?"

Qian Renxue's voice trembled, her fingers quivering slightly; this was a bit too terrifying.

The Zhu Tian Sword in Luo Yu's hand buzzed, his eyes emitted a Purple-Gold Divine Light, staring straight at Qian Renxue in the air.

"What's the matter, you're ready to surrender before I've even exerted my strength?"

"What a joke, there's no surrender in my life, Qian Renxue. This must be an illusion!"

Qian Renxue held her longsword upright, her jade fingers swiftly stroking the blade.

"Angel Domain, open!"

"Swish!"

The entire mountain valley turned into a golden world in an instant, filled everywhere with the aura of light.

Phantoms exactly like Qian Renxue appeared one after another.

Easily over a thousand.

Spreading across the entire mountain valley, they surrounded Luo Yu, creating an astonishing sense of oppression.

"Hmph!"

A chorus of cold snorts sounded simultaneously, all the phantoms burst out with golden light, swords aimed at Luo Yu.

The terrifying fluctuations were brewing; there was no doubt that Qian Renxue was charging up a powerful move.

"Child's play."

Luo Yu shook his head, not even bothering to invoke his Creation God Pupil.

"Blade Flower Sea, Thousand Cherry Blossoms Dance!"

The blood soul rings melded into the Zhu Tian Sword, unleashing a scarlet light of immense strength.

The longsword transformed, changing its shape dramatically.

Luo Yu swung the scarlet blade towards the air with a slash.

"Roar!"

Massive sword blades yards wide spanned across the void, countless mini pink blades fluttering like petals, creating a storm that was both beautiful and filled with killing intent.

The might of soul skills reaching two hundred thousand years soared rapidly.

"Xu Xu Xu!"

The thousands of Qian Renxue's phantoms were utterly shattered, and in the blink of an eye,

they were cleansed.

Only one shadow didn't dissipate, her charging soul skill interrupted as she retreated at high speed.

Her pretty face was filled with disbelief.

She had never expected Luo Yu to possess such a terrifying area-attack ability.

In her left hand, golden light and holy fire converged, rapidly forming several golden barriers.

Shielding against the sword blade's baptism.

At the same time, she let out a piercing shriek from her mouth, the sonic waves spreading out.

The air vibrated, rocks tumbled down.

With her right hand, she brought the Angelic Holy Sword crashing down fiercely.

A blade of light, meters in length and completely composed of light elements and filled with a destructive aura, cleaved towards Luo Yu.

Three soul skills, executed in one go, demonstrated Qian Renxue's astonishing strength.

Luo Yu shook his head.

If his physique hadn't been special, Qian Renxue's shockwave might have deafened him.

Facing the giant blade of light cleaving through the sky, his fifth blood soul ring fused into the Zhu Tian.

"Fifth Soul Skill: Sky Cleaving Earth Sunder, Instant Kill Divine Sword!"

Luo Yu's Nine Heavens Execution Sword underwent a dramatic change all at once.

The blade and hilt expanded rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a forty-meter-long gigantic silver sword blade.

Its terror reached the extreme.

"Dare!"

Luo Yu gripped the massive sword with both hands, his arms coiled like mighty dragons, veins protruding.

He lifted it high and slashed towards the sky.

The Holy Sword's light that seemed massive was utterly insignificant compared to the Zhu Tian Sword and was extinguished upon contact.

The forty-meter-long sword that touched the sky, relentlessly sweeping towards Qian Renxue from above.

Even with Qian Renxue's steady nature, she was shocked senseless.

She had never seen such a frightening Martial Soul.

It was a bit too abnormal.

I don't need to be urged for updates during the day, as I'm either studying or slogging away at work.

I am serious about writing for everyone, so wait until I have a holiday on the 7th of next month.

There will be two more updates today, but I have to step out for an hour, then I'll stay up late to make up for it.
