Chapter 85: Debts Settled

Liu Shen's eyes were veined with fine threads of blood, all the force he had gathered now converged in this single stroke—Heaven and Earth Share My Fate! This blade was named "Heaven and Earth Share My Fate," also called "Crushing with Momentum," and also... "All Grievances Settled!"

The two blades met in midair, emitting a piercing, crystalline clang. The hems of their garments fluttered though there was no wind.

Liu Shen was sent flying backward by the force of the recoil. After landing, he staggered back several steps before barely steadying himself with his blade pressed into the ground...

Meanwhile—

With a touch of perplexity, Lin Youran continued walking as she questioned Yuwei. Only then did she learn that someone had seen her and Yuxin from the Lotus Pond walking together, and they had entered the pond area. Rain Orchid always forbade the girls of Lanwei Fragrant Pavilion from entering the Lotus Pond. Should anyone defy this rule, the consequences were predictable.

Xing Mu narrowed his eyes suspiciously. What had that guardian said upon entering? Had something major occurred? Why did the two of them leave in such haste?

Gao Tingting immediately reached for her mirror, only to find that her bag was missing not just the mirror but the entire makeup kit. How strange! Had she left it in the restroom? Without a second thought, she rose to search for it, completely unaware of any foul play.

Upon learning of the situation, Gao Tingting was furious. Who did Yun Mo Yu think she was? Lin Zheng guarded her so attentively, surrounded her with so many people—did that make her more precious than Gao Tingting herself?

When Lin Youran posed her question, the man did not answer immediately. Instead, his gaze remained fixed on her, as though he were stunned by her face. Lin Youran wondered, perhaps he was so taken aback by her beauty that he was left speechless. Vain thoughts began to wander through her mind.

After finding the Chirping Cicada Sword Immortal, he had been exchanging swordsmanship with him ever since. Especially after leaving the Black Profound Sword in the Valley of Giants, he had devoted himself to practicing with the Sword of Heart.

At this thought, Yue Yi hurriedly called Tao Tong, asking him to prepare the necessary items.

That day, at the break of dawn, Lin Youran was awakened by Lin Chengyue, who announced that a distinguished guest had arrived at the Splendid Workshop. For this mysterious guest, whom no one had ever seen, the entire Splendid Workshop spent the day on edge, bustling about, all to serve this so-called noble visitor.

Yet the Ghost King could not help but notice the faint tremble in the body of the Vermilion Bird Envoy. His heart stirred with memories of a certain rumor from years past.

Guided by the voice in his mind, Qin Tianfeng instinctively raised his Mo Hui blade, ignoring the onrushing silver-haired middle-aged man, and pointed it straight at the vast earth.

In the end, humans are but creatures, and survival is their foremost instinct. Before survival, all notions of gentlemanly conduct are mere nonsense.

Yun Zijin, already eating, had devoured several lobsters, while Gong Wuxie was still fretting over the plastic gloves.

Amidst earth-shaking tremors, the Wood Daoist moved with unfathomable steps across the turtle's back, leaving a talisman at every point he touched.

Looking back, the pitch-black chasm behind him housed the City Lord’s family and Qi Shuangshuang resting within—there was no chance of survival for any of them.

The man in the black robe was caught in a dilemma, forced to watch helplessly as waves of light surged and the teleportation array activated. Yaoxing’er vanished from Jade Emperor Peak, rushing toward Moonview Peak.

He glanced around and saw that nearly a third of the seats in the classroom were empty—he could have sat anywhere. Yet just as he was about to take a seat, someone grabbed his hand and yanked him down. He stumbled and plopped into a seat.

We all saw this and were completely stunned. Instantly, everyone was filled with confusion. This enormous sword that had suddenly appeared—we had never seen it before. Could it be that there were people like this in the Heavenly Realm?

“How beautiful,” Su Qingrou said with a smile. “These days have been wonderful. If only it could always be like this.”

Though the black-clad youth before her had displayed nothing but arrogance and conceit all day—right down to the current duel, where he showed not the slightest courtesy—

Her brother Feng Xiao’s talent was already remarkable among their generation, yet compared to the man before her, he was sorely lacking. For the first time, she felt a sense of security she had never known before. As she pondered this, her gaze grew hazy.
