201 Chapter 201: I Have a Sword that Can Split the Sky

...

Watching the scenery reflected in his vision, Zeng Yi's eyes couldn't help but moisten, his heart filled with emotions as countless thoughts flashed through his mind, followed by a long sigh.

"I finally did it!"

Next to him, Qian Renxue looked at Zeng Yi's expression and posture, speechless in her heart.

Isn't it just leaving the Star Dou Forest? Why was he so excited?

Qian Renxue would never understand Zeng Yi's current feelings without knowing his past experiences.

Zeng Yi wasn't confident in his sense of direction. He had originally thought that he would be fighting in the Star Dou Forest for a long time. However, he unexpectedly managed to leave in just a few days.

Although the process had been rough, with several encounters with the Ten Thousand Year Soul Beasts along the way, the outcome was good. The idea of that Titled Douluo was quite good. As long as one kept going in one direction, they would eventually leave the Star Dou Forest. Zeng Yi was wrong to call that Titled Douluo stupid. This method was really practical for someone like him who had no sense of direction.

However, that Titled Douluo's luck was a bit bad. He actually walked straight into the core area of the forest, encountering that one in a million chance. It could only be blamed on bad luck.

Zeng Yi was unclear about his current location after leaving the Star Dou Forest, but as long as he found a populated area and asked, it would be fine. As long as it wasn't a forest teeming with soul beasts, Zeng Yi would be happy.

"Miss Qian, we have already left the Star Dou Forest. Let's part ways here." Zeng Yi was in a good mood. He said to Qian Renxue and started walking in a direction.

But soon, a familiar figure blocked his path. It was indeed Qian Renxue.

Zeng Yi frowned. "What is the meaning of this? Miss Qian, we agreed to part ways after leaving the Star Dou Forest. Are you having second thoughts?"

Hearing this, Qian Renxue smiled and said, "Don't you know that a woman's words are the least trustworthy?"

"Sorry, but you must come back with me to the Martial Spirit Hall. You should know the power gap between us. Just follow me obediently. I don't want to resort to violence and tie you up."

Watching Qian Renxue, Zeng Yi couldn't help but sigh. "What a pity. I thought we could be friends."

During the few days of traveling together, Zeng Yi got along quite well with her. In his heart, he considered this woman who had captured him as a friend.

Even though she was affiliated with the Martial Spirit Hall, Zeng Yi never considered the Martial Spirit Hall as an enemy. He had become friends with Tang San and became the disciple of Sword Douluo, as well as a disciple of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. These two factions would also be in opposition to the Martial Spirit Hall in the future. However, Zeng Yi didn't plan on helping Tang San deal with those matters.

He held no animosity towards the Martial Spirit Hall, but he also didn't want to become a member of the Martial Spirit Hall.

Although Qian Renxue had no ill intentions, it couldn't be a reason for him to bind himself.

"As long as you become a member of my Martial Spirit Hall, we will be friends." Qian Renxue said seriously as she looked at Zeng Yi's attitude. She admired him a lot, whether it was his talent, strength, or character.

Zeng Yi smiled and gripped the handle of his Lan Tuo Blade at his waist, his sharp gaze staring directly at Qian Renxue.

"I can't dare to become that kind of friend."

As soon as he finished speaking, three soul rings suddenly lit up around Zeng Yi's body, and an invisible wave of qi swept through the surroundings, instantly creating a frigid atmosphere.

"Looks like you have chosen another way." Seeing Zeng Yi's soul rings light up, Qian Renxue's own six soul rings lit up as well. Golden light surrounded her entire body, and three pairs of illusory golden wings spread out from behind her, waving and exuding a powerful aura that pressed against Zeng Yi's body.

Feeling this immense pressure, small beads of sweat appeared on Zeng Yi's forehead.

Although she was only a Soul Douluo, her aura was definitely stronger than a Soul Douluo.

"What? Are you determined to fight me?" Qian Renxue waved her golden wings, floating in the air, looking down at Zeng Yi with a taunting gaze.

"Hehe, it seems I have to take this seriously."

Feeling this pressure, Zeng Yi felt no fear but rather became excited. To be honest, apart from the previous battle with the Sword Douluo, no one had made Zeng Yi adopt such a stance.

After months of training, although his soul power had only increased by one level compared to the last time, his overall strength had increased by more than just a bit.

"Let me show you my true strength."

Upon hearing these words, Qian Renxue became very curious about Zeng Yi's strength. Although they had spent several days together, she had never seen him make a move, as she had mostly driven away the soul beasts herself.

Qian Renxue's understanding of Zeng Yi's strength remained at the dazzling sword strike she had witnessed when they first met.

A Sword strike capable of slaying a Soul King.

Looking at Zeng Yi's pitch-black and profound eyes, which had now turned silver, his temperament suddenly changed, becoming cold and merciless. Qian Renxue could sense the increased strength in his aura.

Second Spirit Skill, Sword of Selflessness!

Third Spirit Skill, Sword Domain!

Two state skills were activated, exerting powerful enhancements on Zeng Yi's body. Coupled with the re-application of his [Ronin] passive skill, three enhancements boosted Zeng Yi's power to the extreme.

Invisible winds swirled around Zeng Yi's body, his sharp sword intents permeating the surroundings. In an instant, Zeng Yi's aura surpassed Qian Renxue's.

In the air, golden energy clashed with invisible sword intents, seemingly competing with each other.

This shocked Qian Renxue, who hadn't expected Zeng Yi to burst out with such a powerful aura. Even from the wind brushing against her cheeks, she could feel the sharp intent.

Her expression became serious, and Qian Renxue suppressed the disdain she had initially felt, starting to take Zeng Yi seriously. She could feel that the current Zeng Yi was strong enough to pose a threat to her.

Zeng Yi stepped forward, bowing slightly, his right hand gripping the sword hilt and his left hand holding the scabbard. His eyes locked onto his opponent above, as if his gaze could emit sword energy.

Feeling the icy sword intent, Qian Renxue's mind sounded an alarm, and the soul rings on her body emitted a radiant light. Golden soul power gathered in her hand, forming a golden angelic sword, shining brightly.

Clang!

A clear sound of unsheathing resounded. A silver blade emerged from its scabbard, causing a surge of winds, and sword intent filled the sky.

"I have a Sword that can split the sky."

An ethereal voice echoed in the space, causing Qian Renxue, who was on high alert, to be shaken in her mind, as if it were heavenly music.

Forward Steps!

Slash!!!

Swish!

A breaking sound rang out, and the figure disappeared from its original position in an instant, moving at an extreme speed.

This time, Qian Renxue was dumbfounded. She stared at the disappearing figure in front of her and her brain ceased to function. She felt as if her entire being had turned foolish.

He actually ran away?!

She had cultivated her aura for so long, thinking that there would be a glorious battle. Who could have expected that he would raise his aura to this level just to set up his escape?

Watching that small black dot in her field of vision, gradually disappearing from her sight, Qian Renxue forgot to chase and just stared blankly at the direction in which Zeng Yi had escaped.

"Hehe...hahaha!"

After coming back to her senses, Qian Renxue's mouth curled up, and she laughed softly. Then, unable to control her emotions, she burst into loud laughter, not caring about her own demeanor.

Floating in the air, Qian Renxue continued laughing for two minutes before her laughter gradually subsided until it disappeared.

Looking at the direction Zeng Yi had disappeared in, a flicker of light shone in Qian Renxue's eyes as she murmured.

"Zeng Yi, what an interesting person."

"I believe that we will meet again soon."
