But even so, Si Yan felt it wasn’t enough. Just being pressed against her wasn’t sufficient, as there was no friction between their skin. It was clearly missing something. At that thought, Si Yan had a sudden idea. He realized the girl was relying entirely on him right now, and he was the one in control!
Having reached that conclusion, Si Yan pretended he could no longer hold his ground. He turned around, scooped Su Tao’er up by her delicate, curvy hips, and leaped into the air. He skipped through the air repeatedly to avoid the dazzling Sword Qi.
Su Tao’er subconsciously wrapped her arms around Si Yan’s neck, clinging to him tightly, not daring to let go for even a second! As Si Yan repeatedly dodged, her full chest rubbed and bounced against him! At one point, she was so close she nearly brushed against Si Yan’s chin.
Combined with the sensation in his palms, Si Yan felt like fire was venting from his nostrils. He was enjoying himself so much he almost cried out in pleasure.
Unfortunately, this process did not last long. Bai Lan could no longer hold out and retreated from the front with his sword. Bai Lan had used countless sword techniques and divine abilities, but he had only managed to break through a single layer of the dense Sword Qi.
After he retreated, the sharp, incomparable Sword Qi gradually settled down.
Su Tao’er’s heart was in shambles. After Si Yan nonchalantly set her down, she stood at a distance in embarrassment. However, seeing her Master standing calmly with his hands behind his back after using his divine abilities to save her, she could only keep her lips tightly sealed and remain silent.
Inwardly, Si Yan was over the moon. After so much loneliness and hardship, he had finally been blessed with such a wonderful disciple!
Bai Lan walked over with his sword, several new sword wounds visible on his body. “Honored Master, your disciple’s strength is insufficient. I could only break through one layer.”
Si Yan smiled and gave an appreciative nod. “Lan’er, you did well. Your sword techniques and Sword Intent are only a step behind your First Senior Brother. For you to be able to break through the Sword Intent left by a Deity while only in the Mortal Realm is already quite impressive.”
After saying that, Si Yan’s gaze fell upon the Divine Person’s Dried Bones in the corner. Even though they were just dry bones, Si Yan could still feel the lingering divine aura upon them. Even after ten thousand years, it remained.
The sternum of this Divine Person had a clear wound. The opponent had obviously used that move to kill him, destroying both his physical body and his Primordial Spirit.
So, was this layer of Sword Intent left behind by that Divine Person?
Si Yan pondered for a moment before taking the Silver-patterned Flexible Sword he had personally forged from Bai Lan’s hand. “Tao’er?”
“Ye… Yes, Master!”
“I have a natal sword technique called the Thirty-Six Styles of Azure Stars. I have already taught you the first three styles,” he said. “Now, watch closely. I will demonstrate them for you once.”
Before his voice had even faded, Si Yan mobilized his cultivation. His Magic Power and cultivation rose sharply. Like Bai Lan, he condensed his Primordial Spirit, and the phantom of the Primordial Spirit behind him reached dozens of feet high. In an instant, he stepped into the Human God Realm!
“Sword techniques and Sword Intent coexist! Sword techniques are the patterns, an extension of the mental method! But Sword Intent is one’s own source, the state of one’s Divine Soul! If you wish to become a true sword cultivator, you must comprehend your own Sword Intent! Every sword cultivator’s Sword Intent is different! There are thousands of Great Daos in the world, and Blade Intent and Sword Intent are even more ever-changing!”
Before Su Tao’er could react, Si Yan had already moved forward.
He also triggered the Sword Qi that formed the rosy light! The sky-filling sword light suddenly erupted!
This time, however, the sword light did not crisscross everywhere like before. Instead, it was completely intercepted by her Master right in front of them!
In the Thirty-Six Styles of Azure Stars, every time Si Yan integrated a style, he broke through a layer of Sword Qi! Finally, he merged the first three styles! They formed a brilliant, white sword-rainbow that instantly tore through all the remaining rosy light!
Afterward, Si Yan withdrew his aura. He stepped back and tossed the Silver-patterned Flexible Sword to Bai Lan. Bai Lan caught it, returned it to his waist, and opened his paper fan, feeling a sense of relief.
However, after breaking through the rosy light of the Sword Qi, the space before them appeared empty…
Si Yan and Bai Lan were stunned at first, thinking there was nothing there. Then, they saw a Crystal Coffin positioned in the center of the upper area.
The three of them stepped forward. As they reached it, they were shocked to find a beautiful young woman lying inside the Crystal Coffin! The woman wore Magnificent Clothing, her cheeks had a faint blush, and she had a small red mole between her eyebrows. Her hands were placed over her chest, and she looked peaceful, as if she were merely asleep.
But with Si Yan and Bai Lan’s cultivation, they could tell with a single glance that the woman was actually dead. There were no Three Souls and Seven Po within her body; she was a Red Corpse.
“Dead… no external injuries,” Si Yan muttered to himself. “That’s strange.”
Bai Lan whispered, “Honored Master, this one is cold…”
But as soon as the words left his mouth, Bai Lan saw Si Yan’s terrifying expression and did not dare to joke further.
Inside the Crystal Coffin, there was also an Ice Soul Pearl. It continuously released cold air, preserving the young woman’s body at all times.
Bai Lan complained, “We didn’t find any treasures, only a woman’s corpse. How about we take her with us? It’s better than leaving her here all alone in the cold.”
