Chapter 359: Chapter 207: The Former Sword Saint!

Inside the Sword Cave, the sharp Sword Intent mingled with the biting, bone-chilling wind, as if a myriad of fine needles were piercing the skin.

Upon entering the Sword Cave, Ran Qingchen was shocked by the scene before her eyes.

She saw many sword corpses lying scattered in disarray on the ground.

All of those secret chamber stone doors she had seen before were wide open, as if they had been ransacked by robbers.

"Jiang Mo!"

Ran Qingchen was stunned for a moment, then quickly called out.

But no one answered.

Ran Qingchen called out several more times, but still no one responded. Her heart couldn’t help but sink.

Could it be... Jiang Mo was dead?

The woman’s complexion turned pale.

She pursed her lips, gripped her long sword tightly, and her sharp gaze swept over the ground like a net being cast, carefully searching. She silently prayed that the other party was alright and regretted not having stopped him earlier.

Suddenly, a flash of cold light shot towards her.

Ran Qingchen dodged to the side, only to find it was a sword corpse suddenly attacking.

At the same time, those sword corpses which had been beheaded were slowly fusing their severed heads back onto their necks.

One by one, the sword corpses abruptly stood upright, their eyes regaining a fierce light, as if they had come back to life.

Sensing the breath of the living, they attacked Ran Qingchen.

Ran Qingchen was taken aback and quickly parried with her sword.

But as more and more sword corpses rose from the ground, Ran Qingchen, restrained by her lower cultivation, became increasingly powerless. Her counterattacks were almost futile, and she could only try to dodge as much as possible.

During this time, she had several chances to escape, but ultimately missed them due to hesitation.

Her hesitation was because of Jiang Mo.

Deep down, she still held out a sliver of hope to find him.

However, it was precisely these hesitations that led her straight into dire straits. The woman’s clothing soon became stained with crimson, and wounds started to emerge. Every moment was a dance with death, surrounded by constant danger.

Was she going to die here?

The woman felt somewhat desperate inside.

It was quite ironic, she thought, that one day she might lose her life for a man.

At that moment, Ran Qingchen suddenly felt some regret.

Not regretting her rash action to save Jiang Mo, but regretting that she hadn’t tried to accept this husband of hers, at least she wouldn’t have any regrets after death.

Let go or not let go, give up or not give up.

She was born a woman of extreme contradictions.

From the moment she came of age, she vowed to follow the same path as her mother.

And that path was surely a lonely one.

For she had watched, eyes wide open, as her father lay sick on his bed, his longing gaze fixed on something, but in the end, he closed his eyes in regret... At that time, she felt her father was very pitiful.

Despite various rumors, she always believed her mother loved her father.

But in the end, her mother still left her father.

So she was scared, scared that if she really fell for Jiang Mo, what would happen if she became like her mother one day? How would Jiang Mo cope then, would he also be hurt like her father was...

To pursue love, she would have to put aside her dreams, give up the chance to vindicate her mother, and give up the Sword Dao she had been chasing since childhood.

To pursue her dreams, she would have to give up on love, leaving behind all worldly emotions.

Contradictions.

So very contradictory.

Ran Qingchen had always been in a state of confusion, even though she had reached the state of "Love-void," she felt lost.

She didn’t know whether her path was right or wrong.

But she had an intuition that if she made the wrong choice, she would surely lose something important.

So she could only brace herself and continue on.

Just as she had answered Jinxiu, if she were wrong someday, then she would have to live with being wrong.

Just as the woman’s strength was failing and she could barely hold the long sword, ready to face death, suddenly the sword corpses in front of her fell, and then one by one, their heads were severed by a long sword.

That familiar figure suddenly appeared.

He cut down the sword corpses one after another as if they were as easy to slice as vegetables.

This bastard... how did he suddenly become so powerful?

Ran Qingchen tugged at the corner of her mouth, her gaze hazy, as all the images in front of her gradually blurred.

The woman staggered uncontrollably backward, her steps wavering like a leaf drifting in the wind, on the verge of collapse.

Just as she was falling, a strong arm suddenly encircled her slender waist, firmly supporting her soft body, and she was immediately enveloped in a warm, solid embrace.

"Are you an idiot? Coming here to die?"

Jiang Shouzhong glared at her.

Ran Qingchen was dazed for a moment, then touched his cheek with her hand, and soon showed a self-deprecating smile, "I really am a fool, how could I come to save you, this bastard."

"You are indeed quite foolish."

Jiang Shouzhong was helpless, took out an Elixir and administered it to her, then carried the woman on his back.

Upon exiting the Sword Cave, the others were still waiting outside.

Seeing Jiang Shouzhong carrying a badly injured Ran Qingchen, everyone was astonished, their expressions filled with disbelief.

Their amazement surpassed even the surprise of seeing Jiang Shouzhong emerge unscathed earlier.

You must know, they had thought that Jiang Shouzhong coming out without a scratch was like seeing a ghost. They later speculated that there was a problem with the sword corpses, that they no longer attacked, allowing Jiang Shouzhong to escape unharmed.

But seeing Ran Qingchen in her current state, they looked at each other in dismay, their hearts filled with unspeakable shock.

If there was no issue with the sword corpses, how did Jiang Mo escape?

"Put me down."

Feeling everyone’s gazes, and suppressing an indescribable emotion, Ran Qingchen said in a low voice, her face turning red.

Jiang Shouzhong carefully set her down in an open space, backing her against a tree.

"Fang!"

Jiang Shouzhong stared coldly at Fang Maoshan who hurried over,"Don’t I deserve an explanation? A simple test, and you release all the sword corpses? Was it your plan to kill both me and Lord Ran?"
