Lady Su's Revenge

Chapter 439 Deadly test

“Huh?”

A light eek came out from the nothingness and instantly disappeared.

Su Li beckoned. A long sword flew to her from the weapon rack behind her and floated in front of her. In the blink of an eye, she made some unique gestures and put them into the long sword. The ordinary long sword was instantly covered with a layer of cyan light and sprang out like a spiritual snake.

It was the Ao Sword Skills, the skills to control swords!

A cold hum sounded in the nothingness, and the purple light in the middle-aged man’s hand condensed into a sword again. He rushed into Su Li and slashed dozens of times so rapidly that Su Li could not see that clearly.

Ding Ding!!!

The two swords collided fiercely, and sparks flew everywhere!

Su Li changed the gestures in her hands and concentrated on resisting the attack. Although she was still affected by the blank consciousness at times, she had enough time to respond and control the situation because of the distance.

After every blank consciousness, a black light flashed in Su Li’s eyes. And she could clear up her discomfort faster and faster. Both sides did not show any sign of fatigue after hundreds of rounds.

Swish!

The middle-aged man swung the sword, but his moves came to an end and show less strength. Su Li should have had the blank consciousness but she was clearheaded at that moment. She slipped instantly into the arms of the middle-aged man. With the sword holding in her hand, her power of pneuma and blood erupted. The long sword turned immediately into a lightning bolt and penetrated through the middle-aged man’s chest.

“Collapse!”

Boom!

The sword exploded and left a basin-sized cavity in the middle-aged man’s chest. All his internal organs were shattered, but he seemed to feel no pain. With his wrist turned, he slashed the purple long sword at Su Li’s neck.

A blood mark appeared on Su Li’s throat at once, but she did not dodge or escape from that. The coldness in her eyes looked terrible.

Swish!

Su Li’s broken sword slashed through the nothingness, and the middle-aged man’s head flew high up. All his movements came to an abrupt halt.

Su Li gently exhaled and pushed the long sword on her neck away. After taking a few steps back, she stood in front of the headless middle-aged man. She touched the wound on her neck and found it was two inches deep.

The high platform dispersed, and another step of Star Path showed again. Different from the previous ones, the white step was sprinkled with blood and turned dark red.

“Not bad, little girl. You have an hour to take a break. If you don’t step into the fourth test, the third stone step will collapse. You are clear what will happen, right?”

A familiar voice sounded in her ears. Su Li turned a deaf ear to that. She sat cross-legged and mobilized her pneuma and blood to heal her wound. Her pale face gradually gained its color and the wound on her neck was shrinking, but more slowly than before.

“No matter how strong the physical body is, it still has a limit. I cannot fully recover in such a short time.”

With this thought in her mind, Su Li looked up and saw the fourth stone step not far away from her, “There are fifteen similar battles left. Every fight will be more dangerous than the previous one...”

She frowned imperceptibly. If she went all the path with her conditions, she would stand no chance to survive!

“This man said that I had to comprehend a hint of his sword skill. But a sword skill is just a sword skill, how could it be different from itself no matter who owns it?”

She didn’t understand. So, she had to recall the unconscious state during the battle in her mind repeatedly. As she recalled, an hour came to an end soon.

Su Li stood up, and the red scar on her neck gradually fell off, revealing new red skin. With her resolute eyes, she did not hesitate to step on the fourth stone step.

A deadly battle began once again!

After an endless but actually short period, blood stained the fourth stone step again. Su Li reappeared. As soon as she landed on the ground, she was so exhausted that she kneeled on the stone step. She gasped heavily. Wounds were all over her body and there was no part unstabbed.

“This stone step will crumble in two hours, little girl. You did a good job. Go on!”

The powerful voice echoed in her ears, seemingly with a hint of laughter. Su Li expressionlessly wiped away the blood on the corner of her eyes. After glancing at the fifth step, Su Li sat down and took the time to heal herself.

Two hours passed by in the blink of an eye. Su Li opened her eyes on time. She took a look at her injuries and found that most wound was healed. With little pneuma and blood left, Su Li stepped on the fifth stone step silently.

This time, it took longer.

The fifth stone step was stained red soon. The blood color changed from bright red to dark red. Before the blood was about to dry up, Su Li’s shaky figure emerged, fell on the stone step, and did not move anymore.

The voice with awe in the nothingness sounded again, “I have met countless talents in my life. I have seen just one woman who was top talented and ruthless to herself like you. You are the second.”

Su Li had neither the strength nor the interest to respond. She lay on the ground with her eyes closed and let the Suiyu Tactics automatically run in her body to stabilize her mostly broken physical body.

Her pneuma and blood were used up, and only half of the genuine energy was left. The only good news might be that her bones were hard enough after the refinement. Even if she was hit directly by the purple light, there were only cracks on her bones, not fractures.

“I admire your courage to use your physical body to comprehend and take the sword attacks, but this approach is possibly useless. Why don’t you save your strength and survive in the next tests? Even if you can’t inherit my genuine skills, you can still get out alive.

The brute courage cannot give you a long life. If you die, everything will be gone...”

A low and rich voice echoed in her ears and kept encouraging Su Li to give up her attempt to comprehend the sword.

Su Li was not moved and she just seized every minute to heal. After the voice in the nothingness persuaded in vain, the gentle voice gradually became cold and hard, “You have four hours to heal. Conduct yourself well.”

The starry sky was in silence.

Two hours later, Su Li barely propped herself up and sat cross-legged with an obscure strange flash in her eyes.

The attitude of that voice sounded some odd...

She looked up and saw the sixth stone step. With her gaze flashing, she closed her eyes again and indulged herself in comprehension. She got something finally after she took thousands of attacks from the purple light.

“Four hours are almost over, little girl. It’s time to go on.”

The reminder from the nothingness came on time. Su Li slowly opened her eyes with an indifferent gaze. She propped up her wounded body, and walked towards the sixth stone step.

At the same time, she counted down quietly until the last second of the four hours. But the stone step beneath her feet did not show any signs of breaking.

The so-called time limit was simply a lie.

Su Li felt chilly in her heart, but did not show anything. She just continued to walk on the sixth stone step.

Boom!

The battle began again...

After a long time, Su Li dragged her wounded body back to the stone step again. Her pneuma was so weak that her physical body and her cultivation seemed to be gone at the next moment.

But the pneuma was very tenacious. After Suiyu Tactics flowed in her body for a few moments, Su Li could breathe deeply. And a few more moments later, she opened her eyes, and a deep weakness appeared in her eyes.

“Why bother? Your persistence is meaningless. The seventh step would be your tomb with no surprise.”

The voice appeared as before, but with a hint of pity.

“You have great talent and it will be a pity if you die young. Now I will give you a chance to live. Quit the test, and I can promise you that you can leave alive but without the rewards of the Star Path. If you insist, I can’t save you due to the restriction of the Star Path.”

The voice lowered as if it was waiting for Su Li’s answer.

A faint light flashed over Su Li’s eyes. She asked gently after a moment of silence, “Senior, I’ve known a little about the Star Path. According to its fixed rule, there should be a reward at the fifth stone step. Why there was no reward on your path?”

The voice choked for a moment, and replied coldly after a moment, “No reward means no reward. The so-called fixed rule is meant to be broken. You can’t pass the test, but it doesn’t mean that others can’t either!”

Su Li was suddenly enlightened by the words. As the owner of that voice anticipated that she would choose to leave without hesitation, she asked again, “How much time do I have to heal my wound this time?”

That meant that she would continue the test.

“Humph, stubborn... Ten hours!”

The tone mixed with anger faded away in the nothingness.

Su Li lowered her eyes slightly with imperceptible sneering. She sat cross-legged, and concentrated on running the Suiyu Tactics to restore her genuine energy, no matter how serious the injuries on her body were.

Seeing that, the owner of the voice revealed a peal of mockery laughter. He was sure he would win. His sharp and piercing voice echoed in one area.

“You’re getting yourself killed, idiot. No one can take my possession away!”

As he mocked Su Li, he did not notice that the Suiyu Tactics was transforming Su Li’s genuine energy into wisps of turquoise vitality that nourished her whole body. All the broken veins and bones were recovering at a visible speed. But all this happened within her body, and Su Li was still seriously injured from the outside.

“The Ghost Valley Meditation Direction obtained in the Reincarnation Mirror is better than the Suiyu Tactics sometimes.”

With this thought in her mind, Su Li closed her eyes to hide the shadowy light in them. She continued to run the Suiyu Tactics to hide the signs of healing. There were only white bones full of cracks on her hands. But Su Li just repaired the depths of the bones and restrained flesh and blood to grow. At the end of the tenth hour, she covered only a layer of dried flesh on the bones.

“Time’s over, little girl!”

In the nothingness, the deep voice sounded again. There was a pressure with the voice that force Su Li to go forward.

Su Li stood up, glanced at the empty starry sky silently. And then she stepped onto the seventh step, which meant certain death in the eyes of the unknown existence in the nothingness!

A few days later, Su Li, covered by blood, felt powerless and lay on the step as soon as she appeared. There was a fist-sized blood hole in her chest. Flesh was wriggling and repairing the wounds very slowly.

Her pneuma was extremely weak, like a candle in the wind, which would go out with a blow.

“Kid, you’re really lucky to survive.”

The deep voice sounded a little colder in her ears, “Go to the next step in twenty hours. Remember I gave you the opportunity to live.”

Su Li closed her eyes and did not listen to the voice. She was immersed in the last sword light.

She finally understood the splendid purple color and the sharpness that could cut off everything...

The Will of Sword could cut off the nothingness when it was practiced to the extreme!

That was the Will of Sword that could cut off the will!
