— Chapter 298 —
“They are sure lively.” Chu Xiaoyu slashed her sword forward.
Slash!
“H-How?” A spirit saint slowly fell onto the seawater with a shocked look. There was a deep cut on his chest.
Chu Xiaoyu waved her sword to shake off the blood and sheathed it back. Her yellow eyes shone dimly.
It’s been half an hour since Sun and Moon’s fleet entered Sea God Island’s seashore, but no noticeable strong opponent is reaching her.
She’s not mad, just disappointed because her fellow maids seemed to have some fun on their sides.
“Zhu Zhuqing became stronger, Bai Xue finally used her strongest attack, and Yu Ning’er accepted her true origin.”
Chu Xiaoyu pouted and whispered, “How unfortunate for me to only have small fries as an enemy?”
Even though Chu Xiaoyu complained like that, more than a thousand Spirit Master from Sun and Moon’s fleets were destroyed by her alone.
Chu Xiaoyu’s opponents ranged from Spirit King to Spirit Saint realm, but none of them could survive long enough against her sword.
The best one could survive up to 5 seconds so far. Well, that person still died in the end.
“NOVA BLAST!” An enormous beam suddenly aimed at Chu Xiaoyu’s head.
Chu Xiaoyu unsheathed her sword and performed a simple rising slash, cutting the beam in half. She moved her gaze to the beam’s source and disappeared from her position.
A young man with a mounted 7th class cannon on his shoulder watched Chu Xiaoyu disappear with a surprised look. He can’t even pinpoint her location anymore.
Slash!
Chu Xiaoyu’s sword passed through his chest. An intense cold light appeared on edge, freezing the young man into an ice sculpture.
“That’s one less enemy to care for.” She commented while looking at the crumbling crystal dust.
It reminded Chu Xiaoyu of the day when her grandfather passed away for some reason.
.
.
Bing Chun is a title douluo from the extreme north.
He possessed long black hair with a shade of white, showing his fake age. Yet, he still looks in his late thirties despite having lived for more than one millennium.
Bing Chun was considered the strongest title douluo in the extreme north, but like every mortal’s weakness, he naturally was destined to die sooner or later.
A young girl held a sword in front of Bing Chun. She’s five years old with plump cheeks and bright yellow eyes.
“Xiaoyu, what do you think about my sword?” Bing Chun asked his granddaughter.
Chu Xiaoyu tilted her head a little and answered, “Strong?”
Bing Chun couldn’t help but laugh at his granddaughter’s answer because it was the most generic reply. Everyone in the extreme north knows his sword is strong.
However, that’s a false statement.
Bing Chun showed Chu Xiaoyu his sword, the Icy Haze Sword. A beautiful Jian sword with a blue-ice sheath.
“Xiaoyu, remember this sword of mine.” He said calmly.
“I can’t protect you and your mother to the end.”
“My age is limited, but my teaching will always follow you forever.”
“Carve my sword technique in your mind!”
.
.
Chu Xioayu raised her Icy Haze Sword and whispered, “Forever.”
“Oh, did you kill them all?” A woman floated in the sky with a pair of metallic yellow translucent wings on her back.
This woman is in her early thirties with a somewhat fair complexion.
She possessed a slender figure, and green hair flowed to her shoulders, reaching over her ample bosom.
Qin Xingxuan calmly stared at the black-haired girl with a weird frown because she was killing more than a thousand soldiers in a short time.
It’s been 35 minutes since an ambush from Sea God Island’s side destroyed the fleet formation. However, a girl with peak Spirit Emperor cultivation had annihilated an entire battalion already.
What this girl accomplished was madness.
Qin Xingxuan secured a distance from Chu Xiaoyu and whispered, “There is such a genius?”
“I’m pretty sure the data we received is incomplete.”
“How could they miss such a monster?” She added while feeling a danger out of nowhere.
A void slash flew through space and approached Qin Xingxuan at a fast speed, leaving the sound of a chirping swallow.
Swooosh!
Qin Xingxuan moved using her aero jet wings, dodging the void slash at the last moment. A sharp yet transparent passed her eyes and cut some of her hair.
“That’s dangerous,” She commented solemnly. “And we are 400 meters apart!”
Chu Xiaoyu sent such a swift void slash at Qin Xingxuan and was surprised to see her dodging it. A glint of curiosity appeared in her eyes.
As Qin Xingxuan stabilized herself in the sky again, Chu Xiaoyu crouched a little and prepared for another void slash.
Chu Xiaoyu lifted her leg and somersaulted, launching a void slash at the green-haired woman from Sun and Moon’s fleet.
Swooosh!
The void slash flew through the air and reached Qin Xingxuan faster than before, but when she was about to dodge, the swift attack curved like something was bending it.
“How?” Qin Xingxuan activated her barrier quickly and received the void slash. She couldn’t dodge on time, which led her to this situation.
BOOM! Clank!
A spark appeared on the barrier surface, leaving Qin Xingxuan speechless.
It’s the 7th class barrier created for receiving Soul Douluo’s attack from Spirit Master of this era.
Any soul guidance cannon of the same class cannot do much damage to this barrier, but a girl who is not even twenty scratched it.
Qin Xingxuan gritted her teeth and deployed her spirit skills.
A series of spirit rings appeared in the sky, painting the area with several purple and black colors. There is also a shade of red, but hardly noticeable.
She opened her palm and materialized a silver shield the size of her body. A golden light overflowed her soul, covering the martial soul with gleaming brilliance.
Chu Xiaoyu was ready to launch another void slash but suddenly moved to the side.
BOOM!
The seawater abruptly was smashed by an unknown force, most likely gravity.
“A title douluo.” Chu Xiaoyu frowned because her movement would get trapped by that attack.
“Did she finally get serious?”
BOOM!
Another gravity field quickly was created near Chu Xiaoyu.
“Dawn of Pressure.” Qin Xingxuan appeared using a teleportation ability and tried to bash Chu Xiaoyu with her shield.
Clank!
Chu Xiaoyu waved her sword and pushed the sheath to equal their force.
Since she was standing on the seawater with a water-walking technique and shorter than Qin Xingxuan, the center of gravity was kind of weird.
The seawater is unstable, but both of them adapted quickly.
“You’re a monster.” Qin Xingxuan commented while pushing her shield.
Chu Xiaoyu ignored Qin Xingxuan’s statement and dropped the temperature around them. A chilling breeze exploded from her body, covering the entire seashore.
BAM!
She quickly kicked the shield, clearing a way to Qin Xianxuan’s neck.
“Silver Shield Force!” Qin Xingxuan shouted immediately.
A translucent force field stopped Chu Xiaoyu’s sword.
“Hmm?” Chu Xiaoyu’s hand trembled a little. Her sword cannot penetrate this force field.
Qin Xingxuan’s fifth spirit ring and the force field changed color to blemish red. A violent fire element gathered and reacted with each other, creating a fire spark.
“Shield’s Nova.”
“Burst.”
WOOOSH~ BOOM!
Chu Xiaoyu crouched instinctively and saw a flame explosion burst out of the shield’s force field.
“Frozen World.” She chanted while touching the seawater.
A surge of frost burst out, freezing the entire seashore into frozen land filled with sharp sensation.
“Eh?” Qin Xingxuan felt her foot slip from the ice.
As soon as Qin Xingxuan fixed her posture, a clear voice entered her ears.
“Sword Mirages.” Chu Xiaoyu whispered calmly.
Three sword slashes appeared in Qin Xingxuan’s vision, aiming over her neck, chest, and abdomen. Each of these attacks was fast and decisive.
‘Three attacks simultaneously.’ Qin Xingxuan thought solemnly to herself.
In theory, such attacks shouldn’t be possible because one’s body cannot perform well beyond space-time law. Yet, Chu Xiaoyu managed to pass that limitation.
There is always this question every time Yunlong’s maids are on his side with each other.
“Who’s the strongest maid?”
Of course, we couldn’t count Xue Nu in this calculation because she was a monster who lived more than 100.000 years old. Her strength was clear from the start.
Zhu Zhuyun also cannot enter this futile competition because she doesn’t care about the title and is solely devoted to serving her master, Yunlong.
She was barely on Yunlong’s side, living alone in the Star Luo Empire.
Only five maids are left, but the answer is clear: no one wants to fight Chu Xiaoyu. Not only because she was strong but also because of her sword.
Icy Haze Sword is not a simple martial soul. It has the innate ability to freeze spirit energy, incapacitating any enemy from using it effectively.
Spirit Power is the vital force for any Spirit Master. It patiently was refined to grow stronger and upgrade martial souls with spirit rings to reach a higher level.
Unless one trained spiritual force or powerful physique, they would become useless in front of Chu Xiaoyu’s sword.
That’s why Bai Xue, who heavily relied on spirit energy, pushed her body’s limit by consuming so much medicine to supply her ability against someone like Chu Xiaoyu.
The reason why Chu Xiaoyu was excited when noticing Zhu Zhuqing’s sudden changes was that the cat girl’s maid now possessed a different type of energy.
She wanted to fight her, simply that.
.
.
CLANK! CLANK! CLANK!
Qin Xingxuan summoned two 7th class moon barriers around her to parry Chu Xiaoyu’s attack. Her sword cracked the barriers.
Crack!
“Sword Mirages.” Chu Xiaoyu raised her sword and slashed the air.
“This…” Qin Xingxuan watched the scene in front of her with disbelief.
Over a hundred sword slashes appeared in the air instantly and surrounded her with suffocating pressure.
Like a never-ending wave, Chu Xiaoyu’s attacked Qin Xingxuan aggressively to the point the 7th class barriers couldn’t receive her attack anymore.
Crack! BOOM!
“Divine Formation.” Chu Xiaoyu released an intense cold light from her eyes.
The surrounding temperature dropped even more and summoned an icy mountain range around them.
Chu Xiaoyu breathed in and sheathed her sword, leaving Qin Xingxuan in a weird situation.
The green-haired woman used her aero jet wings and flew away from Chu Xiaoyu, which was a big mistake.
Qin Xingxuan used her 8th spirit ring’s ability and summoned a golden gate, preparing a soul guidance weapon from her spatial ring.
“Divine Swallow.” Chu Xiaoyu’s intense sword intent exploded in the area, sending a void slash at Qin Xingxuan.
BOOOOOOM!
The golden gate received her void slash and trembled violently.
“Golden Age!” Qin Xingxuan shouted while summoning a mace-like tool.
A silver armor covered her body and turned her into paladin-like with an adorned chest plate. A helm covered her head and only revealed her calm black eyes.
Chu Xiaoyu disappeared from her position and jumped to Qin Xingxuan,
They stared at each other and released their spirit skills.
Qin Xingxuan’s 7th spirit ring released a bright silver light and activated her True Martial Avatar, turning her shield into thousands of pieces.
The pieces disabled into five silver lances, and one landed in her hand.
Chu Xiaoyu grasped her sword with two hands and slashed vertically.
Clank! BOOM!
The silent maid was blown away by the recoil, which really caught her off guard.
Qin Xingxuan commanded her other lances, forming a square formation around Chu Xiaoyu.
She opened her palm and said, “It’s sad to kill a talented girl like you, but we are enemies.”
“Don’t hate too much, goodbye.”
“Quad Prism Strike.” Qin Xingxuan clenched her hand.
Chu Xiaoyu’s vision suddenly filled with overly blinding silver lights. “Hate you?” She asked with a confused tone.
“Me?” She let the silver light swallow her and felt gravity pressure on her body.
BOOOOOOOOOM!
Qin Xingxuan witnessed the monstrous girl disappear from her sight and released a sigh. However, the icy mountain range around her doesn’t crumble for some reason.
“Wait, this is not a mountain range?!” She panicked a little.
“It’s a sword,” Chu Xiaoyu appeared behind her. “Everything inside this mountain range is my domain.”
Qin Xingxuan picked some 6th class bombs from her spatial ring and threw them at Chu Xiaoyu, hoping she would get distracted.
”
The bombs turned into ice crystals before they could even reach Chu Xiaoyu. The silent maid stared at her calmly.
Huh?” Qin Xingxuan teleported a few meters away.
She doesn’t have many choices and flared her spirit energy to the fullest. The lance gathered into one, forming a monolith with a revolving core.
A loud noise came out of the monolith, deafening every living being on the seashore.
Qin Xingxuan’s action doesn’t end there because an 8.5th class guidance tool was in her hand.
It’s a metal orb with an energy generator inside it.
Void Shaker is a powerful soul guidance tool that could create a black hole when activated. It’s so powerful a few title douluos died in the testing process.
Well, Qin Xingxuan’s monolith strengthened Void Shaker into a 9th-class weapon, capable of destroying everything below demi-god’s level.
Chu Xiaoyu finally showed her spirit rings.
“All blacks.” Qin Xingxuan frowned while grabbing Void Shaker with her left hand.
“No wonder you’re such a monster.”
Chu Xiaoyu ignored her and landed on the frozen sea.
She silently stared at Qin Xingxuan with an unsure gaze because she couldn’t feel anything meaningful from those weapons for some reason.
They are powerful, but that’s it and nothing more.
Chu Xiaoyu stared at her sword and pondered about something for a moment, thinking about her grandfather’s words.
“It’s not the martial soul that makes me stronger, but myself.”
“A sword won’t move without you and rusting in the corner of your soul.”
Crack!
“Hmm, my ice sword body can’t handle the damage?” Chu Xiaoyu saw her skin crumble into ice dust.
Since Qin Xingxuan attacked her before, Chu Xiaoyu actually received a substantial amount of damage. Her ice sword body dispersed the attack, but a title douluo was clearly more powerful than she expected.
“Xiaoyu, Icy Haze Sword is not a perfect martial soul.”
“Sooner or later, you’ll realize this sword is a cocoon of our family’s insecurity.”
“When you reach the realm of a sword master, the Icy Haze Sword will show its true form.”
Qin Xingxuan clasped her hand and shouted, “Void Shaker: Genesis.”
The whole world seemed to tremble violently because the space around the seashore became unstable. Void Shaker released a dim purple light and launched a ray at Chu Xiaoyu.
Chu Xiaoyu closed her eyes and remembered the sensation she felt a while ago. She breathed naturally and noticed her thoughts move faster and faster.
Everything in the world becomes slower, and the incoming purple ray moves like a fly in her sense.
Chu Xiaoyu’s spirit rings from one to six materialized around her and danced on her sword’s edge.
An avatar of an armored woman appeared behind her, showing dominance to the world. A red spirit ring came out of Chu Xiaoyu’s chest and merged with the armored avatar.
Chu Xiaoyu’s body shone in an ice blue light, and armor began to cover every inch of her skin, giving her another layer of protection.
“Frozen World.” Chu Xiaoyu opened her eyes.
The time stopped for ten seconds, and Chu Xiaoyu felt her sword changing.
The Icy Haze Sword split into two, leaving a twin Jian sword with a blue and white edge.
Chu Xiaoyu grasped her martial soul and recalled her grandpa’s movement.
“Sword End: Divine Fall.”
.
.
Qin Xingxuan watched her attack fall onto the frozen sea and destroy everything on its path, reforming the seashore into a deep cliff with destructive residual.
However, when Qin Xingxuan was about to celebrate, a chilling blue and white light exploded from the seashore.
BOOM!
A white flash flew through space suddenly and struck Void Shaker, destroying the device into pieces.
It was Chu Xiaoyu’s sword.
Qin Xingxuan moved her gaze to the frozen sea again and saw a black-haired girl in white armor standing calmly.
The girl swung her sword gently to the sky and performed a downward slice.
“Xiaoyu… When you’re bigger, what are you going to do?” An elderly voice asked in Chu Xiaoyu’s mind.
“No, no, your mom definitely should be protected by you.”
“But, don’t you have a dream?”
“Eh, you want to be a swordsman like Grandpa?”
“Hmm, that’s tough… Do you have someone you like?”
“No? Then, in the future, if you ever find your fated one, cherish that person with all your heart.”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa’s teaching is always with you.”
“Remember, everything returned to the basics.”
“Trust yourself and slash that sky.”
“End Sword: Divine Swallow.” Chu Xiaoyu smiled and bent her body, swinging her sword again to the sky.
A void slash flew through the space and reached the black clouds in the sky.
SWOOSH! BOOM!
The black clouds gathered by her fellow maids instantly were dispersed, revealing a beautiful blue sky.
Qin Xianxuan watched this scenery with a speechless look and saw a faint line in her armor.
“Ah, this is the end for me…” Qin Xingxuan stripped from her armor and fell onto the seashore.
.
Chu Xiaoyu watched Qin Xingxuan and caught her before she got killed. “Don’t die yet… You’re still useful to me.” She commented with a frown.
“D-Don’t you hate me?” Qin Xingxuan asked while feeling her body ridden by Chu Xiaoyu’s sword intent.
“I’m your enemy, you know?”
Chu Xiaoyu shook her head and answered, “I’m not.”
Qin Xingxuan released a faint cry and whispered, “You’re still a kid, after all.”
“Am I?” Chu Xiaoyu tilted her in confusion.
Yunlong watched Chu Xiaoyu’s fight from Sea God Island and smiled because she became stronger again. Well, Chu Xiaoyu is the most reliable maid.
He connected with her mind through telepathy and said, “Good job, Xiaoyu.”
“Mhm, can you give me a reward after this?” Chu Xiaoyu asked while lying Qin Xingxuan on the frozen sea.
“What do you want?” Yunlong asked casually.
Chu Xiaoyu smiled and answered, “A night just for the two of us.”
“Daddy, Sister, are you two gonna do something naughty together?” Little Saixi suddenly invaded their conversation.
Chu Xiaoyu, who heard Little Saixi’s question, blushed and played with her sword a little.
Yunlong sighed because of this rascal’s question and answered Chu Xiaoyu, “Very well, I promised a night between the two of us after we finish the third trial.”
Chu Xiaoyu beamed with light and returned, “Thank you.”
“No, I should be the one who said that.” Yunlong chuckled wryly.
“Thank you for being on my side till now, Xiaoyu.”
.
.
“A night… With young master.” Chu Xiaoyu crouched while covering her reddened face.
