Chapter 988: Broken Sword (Please Subscribe)_1
```
Seeing that Xu Sheng had dodged her attack, only being slashed on the arm, the female Elder "hmmphed" coldly and continued her pursuit without any pause…
Facing this intensely aggressive offense, Xu Sheng was forced to temporarily retreat, using body movement martial techniques to continuously dodge…
Eventually, the disparity in cultivation level caught up with him, and he was found to have a weakness...
The female Elder missed with a sword strike, then took advantage of Xu Sheng's slow reaction to kick out, landing a heavy blow on his arms, forcing him to stagger back dozens of steps. After steadying himself, his hands started trembling uncontrollably…
To cope with the current crisis, Xu Sheng clenched his teeth and forcibly drew his personal sword to defend…
With a "clang!" of metal, Xu Sheng's personal sword showed signs of fracturing under the female Elder's slash...
A few seconds later, "crack!" The sword blade shattered into pieces, falling to the ground…
Upon seeing this, Xu Sheng decisively let go of the sword, narrowly dodging the strike…
Having gotten a brief respite, Xu Sheng stared at the female Elder with a serious expression and thought, "Not only is there a gap in cultivation level, even the equipment is on a different level?"
His personal sword was completely outmatched by the opponent's; otherwise, it wouldn't have shattered with a single strike!
On the other side, Zhou Qingruo, who was being besieged by three female Elders but still seemed at ease, heard the loud shattering sound and turned her head toward Xu Sheng…
Her icy tone carried a hint of concern, "Xu Sheng, are you alright?"
Xu Sheng, surprised by Zhou Qingruo's concerned words, forced a smile and said, "I'm fine, just stronger than I had imagined. Even the difference in personal swords is so great!"
Zhou Qingruo's ice-blue eyes glanced at the broken sword at his feet…
Using such a trashy personal sword to fight a stronger opponent with a higher cultivation level?
I really don't know if it's confidence or stupidity!
Forget it, I can't just watch him die at the Blood Lotus Sect!
With that thought, she gripped her blood-colored sword tightly and threw it toward Xu Sheng…
She said coldly, "Xu Sheng, catch!"
Seeing the blood-colored personal sword coming at him, Xu Sheng was taken aback…
What was Zhou Qingruo doing? Giving her sword to him when she herself was being attacked by three opponents in the Daluo Jinxian Realm?
Or did she have absolute confidence that she could defeat them?
But he didn't have the time to think any longer; any further hesitation could cost him his life!
Immediately, he caught the incoming blood-colored sword, and as soon as he gripped the hilt, the blood color on the blade all but faded away…
At first glance, it seemed no different from any normal personal sword!
But the extraordinary quality still made Xu Sheng internally exclaim, "Indeed, it's a good sword!"
With that, he gripped the personal sword tightly and slashed toward the female Elder of the Blood Lotus Sect…
Meanwhile, Zhou Qingruo, upon seeing Xu Sheng accepting her sword, blinked a few times then recollected herself and focused her gaze back on the three black-veiled female Elders swinging their swords at her…
In an instant, the immense spiritual power harbored within her surged out, blasting the three attackers dozens of meters away…
Yet it wasn't over, that spiritual power quickly flowed into her right hand, quietly transforming into a dazzlingly bright personal sword…
Spiritual Force Sword!
Only those with enough spiritual power could achieve this! The sword created was no inferior to any personal sword!
```
After doing all this, her icy gaze finally fixed on the three female Elders before her, and she said indifferently, "Well then, let's see if your cultivation level has improved over the years!"
"Lower-grade Immortal Technique, Raining Shockwave!"
Almost at the same moment the words fell, she gripped her Spirit Sword tightly and swung it towards the sky. In an instant, the entire bright sky seemed as if it were torn asunder, forming a vast sword scar that stood horizontally in mid-air, like an untraversable moat!
From this sword scar, raindrops condensed from spiritual power began to continuously fall, numbering in the tens of thousands, dropping toward the area below...
This alarming spectacle caused the pupils of the three female Elders, concealed beneath their black veils, to involuntarily shrink...
...
"Bang!!"
The two Personal Swords collided once again, and the result was still Xu Sheng retreating several steps, but she did not sustain any substantial injury...
It had to be said that with a high-quality Personal Sword, although there was little chance of victory, at least she could barely defend against the enemy's close-range attacks...
At this moment, the intense desire to kill flared up in the eyes of the female Elder from the Blood Lotus Sect, as her spiritual power surged forth once again...
The sense of crisis Xu Sheng felt from her intensified...
Xu Sheng looked on at this scene and subconsciously tightened her grip, cautiously saying, "Are you about to use a Martial Technique?"
Sure enough, the woman opposite her suddenly raised her eyes, locked onto Xu Sheng, and coldly shouted, "Heaven-grade Low-Quality Martial Technique, Bloodletting Sword Qi!"
At the same time, she began to rapidly swing her Personal Sword, even creating extremely blurry afterimages...
"Buzz buzz buzz buzz buzz!!!"
Countless blood-red Sword Qi filled the sky, targeting Xu Sheng from every direction...
This overwhelming force made Xu Sheng involuntarily take a deep breath, "Huff..."
Even if she used her body movement technique, it would be impossible to dodge such a dense onslaught of strikes, so the only thing to do was to fight head-on!!
"Earth-grade Superior Martial Technique, Sky-soaring Crescent Strike!"
The Blood-colored Pei Sword in her hand began to continuously absorb spiritual power, gathering an extremely dazzling halo, and from within the sword, an astonishing offensive power was faintly emanating!
The next second, Body and Sword as One, Xu Sheng and the Personal Sword transformed into a terrifying moon blade, tens of meters in size, confronting the dense Sword Qi ahead...
...
A quarter of an hour later, standing in place, unscathed, Zhou Qingruo looked at the three female Elders lying on the ground in front of her with her snow-blue eyes. Their black veils had long been torn apart, and their delicate and exquisite bodies were covered with wounds of all sizes that marred their beauty...
This was still Zhou Qingruo showing mercy; otherwise, these three female Elders she had personally nurtured could have been pierced into sieves by her previous attacks in the blink of an eye!!
Immediately after, she stepped forward to their side and forcibly infused her spiritual power into them. In a while, they spat out a clump of purple-black liquid that gave off a foul smell...
The Elders of the Blood Lotus Sect gradually regained clarity, looking weakly up at Zhou Qingruo and explained feebly, "Sect Master!! Cough cough..."
"Sect Master! We didn't mean to..."
"Sect Master, Yu Mo... she..."
Before they could finish speaking, Zhou Qingruo coldly interrupted them...
"Enough, all of you. Rest now. I'll handle the matters that follow!"
