"You—" Ru Xian hissed, pulling back.
Xun Lian didn't waste words.
Instead, she attacked.
A twin slash—one blade cutting low, the other high—forcing Ru Xian to retreat.
The moment she stepped back, Xun Lian thrust both palms forward.
A wave of burning golden energy erupted from her, crashing into the ground like a wildfire.
The force sent Ru Xian skidding back, her robes smoldering.
Her eyes twitched. "Impossible! You should be out of Yang—"
Xun Lian smirked. I smirked too.
She raised her sword.
Ru Xian's gaze flickered to the still-glowing blade, realization dawning.
Not just her—everyone's weapons were still burning strong.
Because I had been keeping them powered.
And I just recharged Xun Lian Sword too when she came to defend me. She doesn't need to use her own Cultivation base to fuel the twin swords.
Because I had lied.
"You—" Ru Xian's expression twisted with fury.
I grinned.
