Chapter 1755: I Have Nothing to Repay You With

Qiu Hong’s death had always been an insurmountable barrier in Liu Qianhuan’s mind.

Because of her mother’s death, she was unable to accept the sword dao whole-heartedly even though she possessed the Ancient Sword Dao Physique. As a result, her development in the sword dao was somewhat restricted.

Now, however, everything had changed. She had successfully avenged her mother by killing her mother’s murderers.

Moreover, seeing Liu Mingxuan willingly sacrifice himself in order to save her also allowed her to understand many things.

Everything in the past had already been resolved. Liu Qianhuan’s dao heart had never been as pure and as transparent as it was at this moment. Right now, she could finally face the true desires that had lain dormant at the bottom of her heart.

There was a radiant smile on the female’s beautiful face as she lightly stroked the bright blue divine sword. “As expected, I still like using swords the most. It’s also time for the young sorceress to grow up. From now on, I’m the peerless swordswoman!”

Boom!

A sword intent soared into the sky and shook the highest heavens.

Even Liu Mingxuan and An Lin—who both had extremely comprehensive grasps of the sword dao—were surprised, even shocked, by the fundamental sword dao true intent that was reverberating through the void.

Strands of blue, silk-like sword intent swam around the female’s body. They appeared especially agile and lively.

Before Liu Qianhuan knew it, a blue sword intent robe had already materialized over her body. There was also a silk ribbon tied around her slender waist, and this billowed in the wind and fluttered around her long and shapely legs. At this moment, she appeared especially graceful and elegant.

Both her aura and disposition were climbing in leaps and bounds.

An Lin felt delighted when he saw the transforming Liu Qianhuan. She had finally broken free from her shackles; she could finally be her true self!

The phenomenon caused by Liu Qianhuan’s breakthrough lasted for a full fifteen minutes. After grasping the power of the divine dao, her cultivation base finally stabilized at the rank of the Return to Void Final Stage. In the Kingdom of the Nine States, such a cultivation base could already be considered as among the upper echelons. At the same time, a supreme being with such a cultivation base could also be considered as a pillar of the Kingdom of the Nine States United Army.

“Little Huan, you’ve done extremely well,” Liu Mingxuan congratulated sincerely.

At this moment, a smile appeared on his normally cold and unsmiling face. Even his eyes had started to become a little teary.

Liu Qianhuan was dazed as she looked at the emotional male.

“Congratulations, Senior Liu,” An Lin expressed his congratulations as he continued to pummel the God Engulfing Skeleton.

The corners of Liu Qianhuan’s mouth curled up into a beautiful smile as she looked toward the nearby male. “It’s all thanks to your assistance, An Lin…”

She took a step, and a fragrant scent immediately wafted toward An Lin.

Liu Qianhuan’s beautiful face appeared before An Lin’s eyes. She had a smooth jawline, mesmerizing purple eyes, and delicate pink lips. An Lin’s heart almost skipped a beat.

Her mesmerizing beauty was complemented perfectly by her aloofness as a sword immortal. The female shuffled closer to An Lin. “Junior, how do you want this sister to repay you?”

The God Engulfing Skeleton roared in fury upon realizing that it was being ignored by An Lin and Liu Qianhuan. “You two are seeking—”

Boom!

A golden energy hammered down.

The God Engulfing Skeleton was punched into the ground by An Lin once more.

Liu Qianhuan stabbed her Great Ice Sword into the God Engulfing Skeleton’s chest. As the frosty power of the sword froze and sealed away the God Engulfing Skeleton’s powers, it also stripped it of its ability to talk.

“Senior, it was nothing much. There’s no need for you to repay me.”

“Is that so…” Liu Qianhuan giggled softly as she continued to stare at An Lin. Her gaze was extremely passionate, and her beautiful slender legs bent slightly. Then, she said in a giddy and mellow voice, “But… this sister has a daring thought in mind…”

An Lin was dazed upon hearing this.

At this moment, the female before him had already walked right in front of him. She rested her chin on his shoulder and pressed her shapely figure into his body. Then, she wrapped her arms around his waist and started to hug him tightly.

This wasn’t a quick and gentle embrace. Rather, it was a strong and extremely forceful embrace. It was as if she wanted to pour all of her emotions out through this embrace.

“Thank you for saving me during my tribulation at the Immortal Spirit Tower. Thank you for giving me a home after I graduated. Thank you for saving my father, and thank you for helping me successfully avenge my mother. Thank you for allowing me to rediscover myself…” the female whispered softly into An Lin’s ears.

“What should I do… It seems like I’m owing you more and more favors… I’ll never be able to repay them all…”

Right now, An Lin could feel her slender fingers digging into his back slightly. The sword immortal, who had been aloof and emotionless just a moment ago, was as warm and as gentle as a body of spring water now.

“Could it be that you want me to say… I have nothing to repay you with but for my body?”

Liu Mingxuan’s eyelids twitched.

The God Engulfing Skeleton was completely dumbfounded.

An Lin’s heart jolted.

At this moment, however, he felt the slightly hot sensation on his chest suddenly disappear.

All that remained was a unique fragrance.

Liu Qianhuan took two steps back. She stood in front of An Lin and grinned sheepishly. “Forget about it. I have no way of repaying you for all the things that you’ve done for me. I can only repay your kindness in my next life.”

An Lin rolled his eyes. “No need to repay me in your next life. I’ll be happy as long as Sword Immortal Liu can enjoy her present life. When you become successful in the future, don’t forget to look after the Four Nine Immortal Sect.”

The two of them exchanged a smile.

At this moment, an overwhelming red glow suddenly erupted from the God Engulfing Skeleton’s body. It then ejected the Evil-Slaying Sword and Great Ice Sword into the air. Then, it crawled up from the ground.

It was just about to flee when An Lin immediately extended an arm and slammed it back into the ground.

Liu Qianhuan stabbed her Great Ice Sword into the God Engulfing Skeleton’s chest. The frosty power of her sword restricted the God Engulfing Skeleton’s powers as it swept through its body once more.

“M-hm… let’s deal with this God Engulfing Skeleton first,” An Lin suggested.

There was a slight shade of red on Liu Qianhuan’s beautiful face. She nodded and replied, “Okay!”

An Lin felt that the God Engulfing Skeleton was too much of a hassle. Thus, he made a decision on the spot and placed the skeleton into a suit of an oily green turtle shell. That’s right, this was none other than the intermediate-rank divine tool—the Xuan Wu Heaven Sealing Shell!

After charging it with energy, this divine tool could be worn as a protective suit of armor. When worn onto an enemy’s body, however, it could act as a seal that suppressed and restricted the enemy’s powers.

The God Engulfing Skeleton was already severely wounded. Now, it was also being suppressed by a divine tool. In addition, An Lin and Liu Qianhuan continued to pummel it into the ground. Thus, the chance of the God Engulfing Skeleton pulling off an escape was essentially zero.

The agonized scream of the God Engulfing Skeleton reverberated around the battlefield once more.

One had to admit, the God Engulfing Skeleton truly was “thick-skinned”. After being pummeled by An Lin for so long, it was still holding onto dear life.

“An Lin, why aren’t you finishing it off with your sword? You’re capable of killing it in one strike, aren’t you?” Liu Qianhuan slashed the God Engulfing Skeleton several times with her sword before asking this.

“I’m waiting for someone,” An Lin replied. “We agreed to find each other by causing the greatest amount of commotion that we possibly could. I hope she can make her way here after detecting the commotion that we’ve created. It’s more meaningful if she can come over here and personally kill the God Engulfing Skeleton.”

“But we might also end up attracting other enemies from the Void Spirit Tribe, right?” Liu Qianhuan asked anxiously.

“No worries. If they come, then I’ll kill them all.” An Lin’s expression remained indifferent.

In no time, Liu Qianhuan realized that she had jinxed themselves.

Three extremely powerful auras charged over from the distance.

“It looks like the Lightning Mouse was correct. There are indeed super mighty beings skirmishing in this location.”

“Isn’t that the God Engulfing Skeleton? This Emperor is coming to rescue you!”

“Hahaha! How embarrassing! It’s actually being sat on by An Lin?”

“If the three of us team up, we can definitely slay An Lin!”
