Maiden Galaxy

Li Siye soared, urging on her saber-light to attack the main hall.

Suddenly, an omnipresent net covered her. This net seemed to be formed from leylines, each string possessing boundless mystery. Without even looking, Li Siye brandished the Mo sword in her hand. An aurora seemed to flit through Heaven and Earth.

The net was instantly destroyed.

A woman in fluttering white clothes and a Confucian air appeared.

"Li Siye, leave for the time being."

"Yang Su, have you also betrayed Yang Guang?" Li Siye gripped the hilt of her saber, inquiring calmly. "Has your Confucian loyalty to your lord perished?"

"Yang Guang. She abandoned Your Servant in order to rope in Zhang Xutuo. How can Your Servant be loyal to such a person." Yang Su calmly said.

"For the justice of spring and autumn, the monarch dies for country, and officials die for the king. Yang Su, you were hailed as the head of the Sui Ye Star Kingdom's Nine Elders Of Sui, yet you are selfish, twisted for your own self-interests!!" Li Siye righteously declared.

"It seems Li Liangyi has raised you to be very obedient, Li Siye." Yang Su scoffed.

"Mystical Blade God, today, I, Yang Su, shall see that blade technique of yours." Yang Su had been healed by Sun Yingmeng and was already mostly recovered. Although she was not in peak condition, she could not possibly sit and watch now that Li Siye was right in front of her.

The two said nothing more. Li Siye drew her sword in confrontation. The Destined Star Weapon in her hand was an exquisite black Mo sword decorated with countless gems; it was named "Xi."¹ Bagua script was etched along the blame, brimming with mystery.

Saber-light rose steeply like a cyclone, breaking Yang Chesu's Great Void Weaving Fate.

Cold Blooded Beauty was aware that her saber technique was unsurpassed, so she did not dare underestimate Li Siye. Yang Su pulled back, controlling the Great Void Weaving Fate to unleash a swift assault.

"Petty tricks!" Li Siye's saber cut it apart. She charged in front of Yang Su, insufferably arrogant.

The woman remained unflustered, her eyes like lightning as she attacked with Earth Rank Great Changes Human Sword.

The Great Void Weaving Fate's "strings" instantly collected to form an enormous sharp sword. The sword was filled with the greatest vicissitudes of the human world, where its every swing contained the transformations of the world. Mystical Blade God sneered. With one hand, she gripped her sword's hilt tight, and she took a step forward. Her footwork was like the changes in the Supreme Ultimate, her movements profound. "Xi" leisurely slashed at Yang Guang's Great Changes Human Sword. This powerful Earth Rank was surprisingly cleaved in a single strike.

Yang Su had already expected this. Gritting her teeth, she immediately followed with Phoenix Earth Rank Great Changes Earth Sword.

The broken sword-light instantly became even stronger by relying on the boundless earth. It seemed as if the power of all of Mount Hua's, maybe all of the Star Field's, leylines were gathering into the sword. Rises and falls in history, eternal time, the reincarnation of things all existed in the Earth Sword.

Phoenix Dark Rank – Smelted Moon!

"You intercept Your Servant's Phoenix Earth Rank with a Phoenix Dark Rank, you are unavoidably looking down on Chesu too much!" Yang Su shouted. The Great Changes Earth Sword unleashed a primordial force that could crush history straight towards Li Siye.

A magnificent saber-light blossomed in midair, as if moonlight itself had been smelted into it. Although this Phoenix Dark Rank was very powerful, it did not hold too much of an advantage over Yang Su's Phoenix Earth Rank. However, Li Siye's move was merely a diversion.

"Long have I heard of Cold Blooded Beauty Yang Su's Human, Earth, and Heaven Swords, which ar able to contend against Xuannü Realm. However, in the martial arts competition, you lost to a man. What qualifications does a loser like you have to continue your Star Name?" Li Siye's words brimmed with disdain.

Li Siye wielded her powerful swordsmanship. Smelted Moon's saber-light suddenly changed mid-sentence, becoming a Bagua pattern.

What?

Yang Su shivered. The Great Changes Earth Sword's might screeched to a halt before her Bagua saber-light. A force more ancient than history forcibly suppressed the Earth Sword.

Not good. Yang Su immediately thought to use the Great Changes Heaven Sword.

But Li Siye would not give her this opportunity at all. The Bagua saber-light twisted, destroying all of the Great Change.

Mystical Blade God pounced straight at Yang Su. Her blade cut into Yang Su's body, whose snow-white clothes ripped open with a bloody gash. The Great Void Weaving Fate desperately wove a defense, but against Li Siye's swordsmanship, it was clearly lacking.

Whoosh.

In an instant, she had broken Yang Su's defenses.

Li Siye's Innate Skill was "Mystical Swordsmanship," distinguishing itself based on teh Book Of Changes, and it was peerlessly profound. Saber-light like the Bagua slowly unfolded. Yang Su's body was immediately covered with wounds. If not for the top-notch resistance from her True Phoenix Realm, she would have already Starfallen. But as Li Siye pressed forth, Yang Su was already incapable of fighting back.

"Allow me to bear your betrayal here!" Li Siye sneered.

Her saber swept towards Yang Su's neck.

Bone-chilling cold made Cold Blooded Beauty's entire body freeze. Just at this moment, two black and white chess pieces suddenly slammed into the blade, repelling Li Siye's fatal strike.

Li Siye cut down the two chess pieces and eyed the back of the main hall.

"Ancestor Chen Tuan, whatever power you still have, use it." Li Siye knew that Ancestor Chen Tuan was heavily injured, that her aura was already unable to pose any threat to her.

Yang Su, having escaped disaster, broke into a cold sweat. She bit her lip. The Mystical Blade God before her was one of the Heavenly Tang Star Kingdom's Three Genius Law Protectors. Although she was only Xuannü Realm, she would have been a very difficult opponent even if Yang Su had been in peak condition, let alone her currently weakened state.

"Yang Su, if you betray Mount Hua right now, I can spare your life." Li Siye adopted a charitable posture. "Betrayal, is that not your expertise?"

"Li Siye, you bring about your own doom." Yang Su growled.

"The one who has brought about her own doom is you!" Just as Li Siye was about to launch her attack, she suddenly swung her blade faster than the speed of light towards her flank, where it was deflected by an ice-cold spear-light.

"Hm?" Li Siye wrinkled her brow.

A white robed and white armored woman with developed jade legs had suddenly appeared. In her hand was a spear, revealing frost in its seeming gloom, magnificent yet cold.

"Your Servant very much agrees with Yang Su." The girl was expressionless, each of her words like black ice. She seemed to be sculpted from a thousand year old ice. Her every gesture and movement was filled with bone-chilling cold.

"So it was you!"

To this ice-cold girl who had suddenly appeared, Yang Su and Li Siye were both a bit surprised.

"Magnificent Army Avoids The White Robe, Chen Qingzhi!"

"What, did you also want a piece of the action in destroying Mount Hua?" Li Siye snickered. "Guo Ziyi has always wanted to battle you. Fine, I shall let you share in this to add some contributions to your Star Name…Back then, you were not so mediocre when you were in the Central Star Field, were you?"

Yang Su was even more nervous when she heard this. She was familiar with Chen Qingzhi's reputation. Although this White Robed God Of War could be said to be an up and coming talent, her Realm was not considered particularly powerful. Though, right now, the appearance of any True Phoenix Realm Star General posed a thorny problem to Mount Hua right now.

Li Siye very gracefully adopted a "please, kill her" posture directed towards Yang Su.

"White Robed God Of War" Chen Qingzhi Chen Qinghan's white pupils locked on to Yang Su. The next second, ice-cold light froze time. The ground frosted over, and a cold spear-light shot towards Yang Su.

Just when it was about to kill her, the spear-light changed trajectory, its tip suddenly stabbing towards Li Siye.

Li Siye showed an expression of contempt that said she already anticipated this, "Weaklings are always so stupid!" The Mo sword spun and thrust, a surprisingly unknown "saber technique." The saber-light seemed to contain the power of a Lord Of Heaven. A cyclone shot over, containing the Bagua's Xun pattern.

Wherever the saber-wind passed, everything collapsed, and the ice shattered.

Chen Qinghan's figure flickered away in evasion, and she allowed Li Siye's Xuan wind to swirl. A Black Armor Soldier was too late to dodge and was immediately pulverized as if it had fallen into a meatgrinder.

Dark Rank: One Night Clear Frost!

Spear-light sprinkled down, swirling in the air like bits of ice as they froze the Xuan wind in the sword.

"!!" Li Siye sneered. Her long sword had secretly cut off the White Robed God Of War's advance. The sword quickly slashed.

Her sword technique collapsed, exploding like a cannon. Astonishingly, this was "Li style."

The flame-like saber-qi completely evaporated Chen Qinghan's Dark Rank ice-cold energy. Chen Qinghan used her unique body to evade the fatal strike, but the Mystical Blade God's Mystical Swordsmanship was something else completely. Her saber-qi instantly roared like thunder, quaking with powerful might. The air above Mount Hua seemed to rumble with thunder, The thunderclap saber-qi passed over her chest. Two ribs were cleanly broken.

If not for using profound Star Energy to protect her body beforehand, this thunderclap saber-qi needed only penetrate an inch deeper into Chen Qinghan's body to have completely jolted her organs to pieces.

The Zhen style swordsmanship was unable to incapacitate Chen Qinghan, which left Li Siye a bit surprised. However, Li Siyu's Mystical Swordsmanship was unequalled in the world. This was the reason she gained the moniker "Mystical." The Xi saber slashed innumerable times, each stroke firm and practical. Even against a million Black Armor Soldiers, this type of pragmatic swordsmanship was but sufficient smash them all.

"Good swordsmanship! Worthy of the Mystical Blade God." Chen Qinghan calmly dodged, her white robes fraying.

"Hmph." Li Siye growled, and saber-light was like a tiger.

"Gen Earth" then attacked.

"Dust-covered!"

Yang Su quickly covered her surroundings with a net, forming a giant to cover Li Siye. A space appeared in the net and solidified. Li Siye's heavy Gen style swordsmanship was also surprisingly unable to be broken. "Ridiculous." Li Siye shouted. The "Xi" saber transformed, metamorphosing into the "Kan style." The saber-light was clear and crystalline, becoming an endless autumn stream, surprisingly piercing through the obstruction of Yang Su's Phoenix Dark Rank Dust-covered.

Chen Qingzhi had already waited a long time. The Nine Provinces Condensed Frost Spear fired a dark light.

Earth Rank – Netherworld Flowerfall!

This dark light quickly chewed away at Li Siye's water-like saber technique. Then, it became several hundred withered flower petals that scattered towards Li Siye's body.

Li Siye's Mo sword parried. The woman sneered aloud: "Chen Qingzhi, you unexpectedly dare to challenge Guo Ziyi just based on this Realm alone, Today, let me destroy you!!" The woman thrust her sword and unleashed Phoenix Dark Rank Qiankun Subversion.

Yang Su and Chen Qingzhi were caught unprepared. A force underfoot erupted and sent the two of them flying. At the same time, Li Siye's saber brushed past them. In midair, a force descended that fiercely attacked them.

"Die!" Li Siye laughed.

"Is that so?" Chen Qingzhi's calm was terrifying.

Hm?

All of a sudden, those fallen flower petals once again were reborn from the netherworld and covered Li Siye's body, freezing her body.

"Now!" Chen Qinghan's voice was filled with a power that pierced through obstructions.

All of a sudden, there was a clear shout.

From above the nine firmaments, the sea of clouds parted, and two black and white sword-lights descended. The sword-lights crisscrossed, forming a spiral. The obstruction of myriad things returned to their original state under the black and white sword-lights.

Wang Meng, who had been fiercely battling Gao Siji for the Purple Cypress Divine Tree, suddenly lifted her head, and her pupils contracted.

"Impossible!" Li Siye was flabbergasted.

Heaven Earth Dark Yellow Skill!

The Stars Are No Longer Like Last Night!²
