March 7th didn't know that her words were prophetic. At this moment, Dan Heng was indeed somewhat unlucky. Not only was he separated from his companions because of Blake's bomb, but he had now been stabbed through.
"Well? Did you think the Hunters were the only ones infiltrating the Xianzhou?"
Seeing Dan Heng suddenly grow dragon horns and change his attire drastically, Blade's words successfully ignited Yanqing's anger. What do these guys take the Luofu for?!
Snowflakes condensed around them. "In that case, I have no choice but to capture you all and hand you over to the General for judgment!"
"Hey... the [You all] he mentioned shouldn't include us two, right?" Silver Wolf asked in a low voice.
"Mmh~ Why, do you want to go up and play?" Kafka maintained a relaxed demeanor. Everyone among the three in the center of the field thought they had to fight two against one.
"No no no, hackers are only good at battles of wits, not physical combat!" Silver Wolf hurriedly waved her hand. Besides, Dan Heng had that unlucky [Eternity] on him; she wasn't going to get involved.
On the battlefield, several ice swords behind Yanqing stabbed at the two one by one. "I've heard of your notoriety, Imbibitor Lunae. Never thought that besides the Stellaron Hunters, another serious criminal had infiltrated the Xianzhou..."
"...I have no intention of starting a conflict; I just want to confirm the safety of my friends."
"Hmph! Sophistry. Save it for the Shackling Prison."
With communication failing, Yanqing wouldn't listen to anything now. Forced by helplessness, Dan Heng could only use force to fight back: "...Move aside."
"Good, good, that's it! Imbibitor Lunae, I'm afraid you'll never see your friends again..." Blade had an expression of someone who didn't think the commotion was big enough.
"Shut up, you won't leave either!"
Yanqing attacked everyone present indiscriminately. Seeing an ice sword flying towards her, Silver Wolf directly used [Eternity] phasing to dodge.
"So confident? Does he really have a trump card?"
Yanqing was fighting one against four without any fear, which made Silver Wolf suspicious.
"...Alright, then let's add some fuel to the fire! Kafka!"
"Mmh." Kafka didn't refuse and activated [Spirit Whisper]: "Bladie, listen to me, release the [Restraint]."
"This power, I did not intend to use..."
Yanqing showed no fear, manipulating the ice swords to block Blade and Dan Heng.
Seeing Dan Heng's weak moves, Blade snorted coldly. "What, facing this kid, you can't bring yourself to strike hard?"
(Don't know how March and the others are doing... must end this quickly... can't delay any longer.) Dan Heng also realized time was tight and threw out the Cloud-Piercer spear:
"I didn't want to resort to violence, but there's no other way now... Apologies."
Shing!
Cloud-Piercer split into multiple segments, purely a dimensionality reduction strike against Yanqing's ice blades, countering them all completely.
"Such a familiar move." Silver Wolf, watching the show, grunted, a strong sense of déjà vu washing over her.
She couldn't forget that battle with Blake in the Eternity Chapel. Although the main force was Sampo and she was just a support character.
Who would believe that a bar of soap could fight back and forth with Sampo? This Pontiff was clearly strong but excessively cautious, terrified of variables appearing. As they fought, the soap would constantly create clones.
Most importantly, the Aether Editing Silver Wolf was proud of was useless in front of him; the underlying code was too hard to modify!
Sampo wasn't doing any better, being chased by a swarm of soaps that could self-destruct at any time. It was a pity his endurance wasn't used for an interstellar marathon.
"You two are indeed tricky. It seems that to keep you here, I have to use this move!"
Since Dan Heng used his ultimate move first, don't blame him, Yanqing, for being impolite!
Boom!
The moment Cloud-Piercer touched a certain object, it clanged loudly, emitting a chilling aura.
"Hahahaha... Imbibitor Lunae, your martial arts have regressed too much. Now you can't even beat Jing Yuan's lackey boy?" Blade naturally couldn't resist mocking, thinking Dan Heng was holding back something big.
"Blocked?" Dan Heng was somewhat surprised. After Adrian's second improvement of Cloud-Piercer, Yanqing was the first to block this move.
After a hundred years, has the combat level of the Cloud Knights become so formidable?
"Wait, I have a bad feeling..." Silver Wolf's face suddenly tensed, her previously relaxed brow furrowing heavily.
After seeing the hidden trump card Yanqing used, Kafka almost couldn't hold back either, a smile rising at the corner of her mouth.
"Ah, things are getting interesting."
She had to admit, she was quite interested in segments outside the [Script].
"What the hell is a Milk Tea Sword!"
Silver Wolf really couldn't hold back. If he held a cup of milk tea, she wouldn't say anything, but it had to be a long sword in the style of milk tea, looking like a toy from a roadside stall.
Seeing this scene, Dan Heng's just-furrowed brows instantly relaxed. Fought for half a day, turns out it's a friendly force.
However...
Both taught by the same master; can't break this move!
If you asked Yanqing what else he was passionate about besides swordsmanship, you would only get a crisp answer—
"Interests will only affect the speed at which I draw my sword!"
Just like a child who loves toys and buys them incessantly, he didn't hesitate to spend all his pocket money to purchase most of the precious swords produced by the Artisanship Commission—flying swords manipulated by qi, short blades for close combat, flexible soft swords that extend and retract freely.
He could enumerate the specifications and functions of each one as if they were family treasures, and often bought duplicates: one to unseal and use, one to keep in his room as a collection.
By the end of the month, he often ended up in a state of "eating the General's, using the General's, pitifully begging the General."
It is only right and proper for a young man to love swords. Reflected in the Xianzhou swords collected by Yanqing was a dream:
To become the number one on the Luofu... no, the number one on the Xianzhou!
To claim the title of Luofu's "Sword Champion," and even the Alliance's "Sword Head"!
Last time, by a stroke of luck, Yanqing met Adrian and marveled at his skill of turning milk tea into flying swords.
After countless days and nights of deep thought, Yanqing finally realized the secret within.
To learn the technique of turning everything into a sword, one must view that object as a [Sword]. For this reason, Yanqing specially hired a master from the Artisanship Commission to forge a sword with a peculiar appearance for him.
He even specifically went to Adrian's shop to buy his first and last cup of milk tea, asking the master to stick to the original work. The sword body was changed to a gradient tea color, transitioning from deep tea at the tip to milky white at the hilt, like the layered effect of milk tea and cheese foam.
He even changed the hilt to a frosted texture, with gold wire wrapped around it resembling a straw.
Just looking similar wasn't nearly enough. According to the descriptions in martial arts novels: this sword was just an empty shell without a sword spirit.
Lacking the essence of milk tea, so... Yanqing visited Adrian a second time with the sword.
"As expected of the strongest swordsman on the Xianzhou [Luofu]! Great comprehension ability!"
Adrian nodded with satisfaction, his eyes full of recognition and appreciation for the junior. The technology of the Artisanship Commission was trustworthy; they really made a milk tea flying sword.
Ensuring there were no problems with the sword body, Adrian began to enchant the sword. Besides the omnipotent [Eternity], he really added a realistic milk tea effect to the weapon.
The scabbard was flowing milk tea, and with every swing of the sword, one could even smell the sweet scent of milk tea.
Born for the sword and obsessed with the sword, when Yanqing held a sword in his hand, no one dared to underestimate this genius still in his youth. So as long as Yanqing took out the Milk Tea Sword, he was invincible!
