Otherworldly Desert Dust-Chapter 675 - 627: Young Girl Version of Sword Immortal
The three-way chaotic battle fully erupted. At this moment, in the land and sky of Infinite City, one could see the peerless mystic techniques of the Gods, as well as the brilliance of technological ascended beings. Some wielded swords to lay down a rain of blades among the clouds, while others shattered mountains and rivers with transcendental bodies. Various energies, like waves in a sea of chaos, surged with no pattern, recklessly churning in this otherworldly realm...
Wu Hen saw a white-clad Sword Immortal quietly approaching. He seemed to be coming to confirm whether the Night Leader was truly dead.
Beside the white-clad Sword Immortal was a little girl dressed in white. Her face still had a hint of naivety, but her bright eyes were determined to the extreme. When she looked at him, it was as if she saw him and the Night Leader as the source of all evil in the world, needing to be eradicated with her sword.
In this little girl Sword Immortal, Wu Hen saw the shadow of his good friend, Fairy Gong Qin.
Isn't she like a minor version of Fairy Gong Qin???
She... she was already born in this era, and was a Little Sword Immortal!
"I shall dispel the Night Leader's soul. You fight him, and there's no need to hold back." Sword Immortal Ling Hu said to the underaged Fairy Gong Qin.
The Little Sword Immortal Gong Qin nodded, said not a word more, and rushed at Wu Hen with her sword.
Wu Hen initially thought that Little Gong Qin at this time was no different from a three to five-year-old child wielding a sword. But as he felt the overwhelming sword moves coming at him, he suddenly realized that this underaged version of Fairy Gong Qin was indeed a monster!
Though her body was slender like a willow twig, the sword power she unleashed was nearly at the realm of the Red-Robed Saint. Wu Hen felt a bit suffocated and had no choice but to raise his Sword Spirit to block.
"Clang!!!"
With just one sword strike, Wu Hen felt his arm go numb from the shock, and the sword in his hand was sent flying, penetrating directly into White Mountain.
Wu Hen hastily retreated to put some distance between himself and the Little Sword Immortal, while summoning the Fire God Body to awaken the lava slumbering within the earth. This lava erupted from the ground, forming massive columns of fire that blocked the young Gong Qin outside White Mountain.
Yet Wu Hen still underestimated the strength of young Gong Qin. Clad in a White Jade Robe, wielding a Silver Morning Sword, an aura of celestial chill swirled around her as she crossed Wu Hen's pillars of fire, even cutting down the massive Fire God Pillars obstructing her path with each strike!
He's seen immortals cutting through real mountains and seas, but Wu Hen had never seen anyone cut through energy substances with sword power!
Something's not right!
Very wrong!!
How could this underaged version of Fairy Gong Qin be more terrifying than the adult version???
Or rather, is this actually Fairy Gong Qin's true power? That she already stood at the peak of Combat Power, which is why her mentor and the Yellow Immortal so feared her deviation!
...
In the present Infinite City, in a bamboo grove cabin, Fairy Gong Qin herself naturally could witness this battle.
That was herself at her strongest.
Yet, since then, she never returned to that peak. Time flew, and she had become a Fairy nearing her thirties. She knew that now and her past self were almost two different people, but she still longed for the feeling of reaching the summit as soon as she emerged from the mountain.
Meanwhile, Wu Hen, who was being relentlessly pursued by the underaged Little Sword Immortal, was drenched in sweat. He desperately recalled the times when Fairy Gong Qin imparted sword techniques to him on sunny afternoons, doing everything in his power to counter the wild and intense swordsmanship. However, the oppressive presence of the underaged Fairy Gong Qin was so strong that Wu Hen couldn't associate her with his well-acquainted friend.
At that moment, young Gong Qin was resolute, confident, without overly complex perceptions of the world, with only the utmost devotion to herself as a Sword Immortal of a generation. In her eyes, even an existence like the Red-Robed Saint could be easily surpassed with a few more years of training.
She was the most dazzling genius of this era, and most Golden Immortal Jade Immortal had displayed incomparable talent and potential in their youth. She was just a free traveler in this dimension, this era couldn't keep her, this dimension couldn't confine her, she was destined to become an eternal existence like the myths in legends.
Wu Hen was facing such a single-minded Fairy Gong Qin, the strongest immortal of this era!
Under the waves of sword techniques, Wu Hen was already in a sorry state.
He had to ask for the help of the Twelve Zodiac Beasts Snake.
The Gray Cloud Snake spewed out colorful dark energy, which transformed into a surging tide and surged at the young Gong Qin.
Young Gong Qin casually swung her sword, and the dark energy couldn't escape the fate of being split apart by her beyond-dimensional sword power. The intangible energy material seemed to meet its nemesis under this absolute Sword Realm.
Wu Hen gasped for breath. He originally thought Fairy Gong Qin avoided mentioning the events of three hundred years ago because she feared causing disputes between him and her mentor, Ling Hu, as she would be caught in the middle, never expecting Fairy Gong Qin's silence on the matter was because the memory of a story where a man from the future was cut by her sword was already in her mind!
Perhaps during the time she met Wu Hen, she never connected him with the formidable opponent she faced in her youth, but after teaching Wu Hen sword techniques and knowing that the Nuwa Lineage mastered time abilities, Gong Qin understood it was fate's arrangement...
"My Heart Demon was formed after that,"
In the cabin, Fairy Gong Qin watched her past self battle Wu Hen, and instead of confusion, there was a trace of intrigue in her eyes.
She had taught Wu Hen all her Sword Immortal's Secrets hand-in-hand, which meant that no matter how powerful she was then, the arrogant young Gong Qin would face an opponent who knew her extremely well.
Her mentor and the Yellow Immortal insisted she was a Heart Demon, not the unrivaled genius of a Fairy Gong Qin, and they were right.
She personally cultivated a Sword Immortal heir, and this Sword Immortal heir traveled back in time to her heyday, thus planting a seed that there is always a sky beyond the sky.
Fairy Gong Qin wasn't worried about Wu Hen being chased and attacked now.
She knew the shadow of her youth was coming soon, and the serious Wu Hen would dismantle the skills she prided herself on from every angle...
Of course, if everything didn't follow the original script, and Wu Hen returning to the past didn't defeat her at her peak, the Heart Demon that troubled her for three hundred years would disappear, and that wouldn't be a bad thing.
...
"Gong Qin, show mercy!" Wu Hen was beaten into begging for mercy.
"A person like you, who wreaks havoc in the world, doesn't deserve to call my name!" the young version of Gong Qin was extremely cold and haughty, maintaining the aloofness an immortal should have with a hint of youthful face.
"What would it prove even if you defeat me? I just had a fierce battle with the unbeatable God in Cang Chu. You all are taking turns against me. If you win, it just shows that the Night Leader drained much of my strength, and you're merely picking up the spoils." Wu Hen said.
This statement actually worked, as young Gong Qin paused slightly. In her bones, she seemed unwilling to accept defeating opponents using dishonorable means.
"That's right, so let me..."
"Gong Qin, don't listen to his bewitching words. Dealing with someone who disrupts time and reverses right and wrong, there's no need to talk about morality with him. Finish him off quickly!" Sword Immortal Ling Hu spoke up.
Wu Hen gritted his teeth with anger, thinking this old man meddled too much.
Once you're dead, I'll make sure to thoroughly torment your beloved disciple!
