Chapter 2782
"Boom ~" Just as Xiao Hua flew out of the confinement, it was as if a mountain ridge had fallen into an ice lake, or as if countless fireball talismans had exploded inside the ice lake. The sword shadow flashed, and a wave of several dozen feet high was raised. A space of half a mu in size appeared inside the ice lake, and in this space, Xue Mingcha's camellia-like sword quietly floated. It was as if she had always been there, and would still be there in the future. The existence of her sword pushed away all the splashes of water.
"So close!"
Xiao Hua did not have the time to comprehend the incomparable sword force of the Sword Transformation. After all, to push away the water of half a mu in size of the ice lake did not only rely on sword origin and sword force, but also the comprehension of the way of the sword. It was far from what Xiao Hua, who had just touched the edge of the Sword Transformation, could compare with. If he could stay in this sword force for a long time, it would have a crucial effect on him stepping into the Sword Transformation realm.
Unfortunately, compared to his life, this effect was as light as a feather!
Xiao Hua let out a sigh of relief in his heart. His figure strangely followed Xue Mingcha's waves and airflow, rushing out of the water at an incomparably fast speed. With a series of thunderous rumbles, Xiao Hua had already rushed out more than a hundred feet …
"Where do you think you're going ~" A sharp sword cry sounded behind Xiao Hua, and after a series of sword shadows flashed, a five feet long flying sword soared into the sky. It chased after Xiao Hua like a stream of light. The speed of that sword shadow was extremely fast, and it did not seem to be inferior to Xiao Hua's Imperial Thunder Transformation in the slightest!
"I'm going to die!"
Xiao Hua saw that Xue Mingcha was actually chasing after him with one in front and one behind. His Imperial Thunder Transformation was actually unable to gain the slightest advantage, and he unconsciously felt his soul fly out of his body. How could he dare to think about anything else? He recklessly activated the Dragon Transformation Art and the Celestial Body Empowerment Technique, while absorbing the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, while stimulating the true essence in his Gold Core, and using the Lightning Escape Technique, he rushed forward!
Just as mentioned before, when it came to escaping, Xiao Hua was really experienced. Before he had even condensed his Gold Core, he had already fought with Daoist Jing Ru, who was a Nascent Soul cultivator!
However, at that time, Xiao Hua simply didn't dare to let Jing Ru get close to him. He could only keep a distance of a few dozen kilometers. But this time, when he faced Xue Mingcha, who was at the First Grade Transformation Sword Stage, Xiao Hua was able to retreat unscathed after a head-on collision. He should be proud of himself!
What was special was that after flying for half a cup of tea's time, Xiao Hua did not hesitate to change direction. The strange angle and sudden change of direction threw Xue Mingcha more than a hundred zhang away. When Xue Mingcha changed direction again to pursue, Xiao Hua had already flown several hundred zhang away!
In the following half a day, Xiao Hua made countless turns, rushed into the sky, rushed into the ground, and even plunged into the water, all in an attempt to shake off Xue Mingcha.
Unfortunately, Xue Mingcha was different from Daoist Jing Si. She only maintained her sword form. Regardless of whether it was in the air, on the ground, or in the water, she was not affected by the environment at all!
"Damn it, this Swordsman is indeed powerful!"
After tossing and turning for half a day, the shaking in Xiao Hua's mind gradually disappeared. That nauseating feeling also disappeared. Although he couldn't escape from Xue Mingcha's pursuit, Xue Mingcha didn't attack, so his life wasn't in danger for the time being. His brain began to ponder again. "This young master's Thunder Evasion Technique can already catch up to my Imperial Thunder Sect's Sect Master, but I still can't shake her off. What about the Nascent Soul cultivators of other sects?
Don't even mention them!
If I really encountered this guy, wouldn't I end up dead? "
"But then again, this young master is only several hundred zhang away from this guy. If she really wanted to kill me … I'm afraid this young master still wouldn't be able to take that sword strike from before, right?"
While Xiao Hua was secretly astonished, Xue Mingcha's heart became even more depressed!
In fact, Xiao Hua's thoughts weren't completely correct!
Although the flying sword of a Sword Cultivator was extremely fast, far faster than cultivators of the same level, compared to the Thunder Evasion Technique of the Imperial Thunder Sect, there was still a gap. An ordinary Second Grade Sword Transformation Stage Swordsman might not necessarily be able to catch up to Xiao Hua!
Because this Xue Mingcha's flying sword was somewhat special, her flying speed was also much faster than ordinary Swordsman. This was also one of the reasons why she chased after Xiao Hua from so far away!
But she didn't expect Xiao Hua's Thunder Evasion Technique to be so powerful. Even if she used all of her Sword Origin, she still couldn't catch up to him!
Now that she thought about it, Xiao Hua landed on the ice mountain not because he couldn't escape, but because he was waiting for her. This kind of waiting was either to give the other three Foundation Establishment Stage Swordsman a chance to escape, or it was consistent with Xiao Hua's actions — Xiao Hua wanted to kill her.
Thinking that Xiao Hua wanted to kill a First Grade Sword Transformation Stage Swordsman like her, Xue Mingcha sneered in her heart. If it wasn't for the cultivation of a Middle Nascent Soul Stage Swordsman, it would be impossible to break through her Sword Transformation Stage defense. Otherwise, it would be impossible to talk about injuries!
And in the short fight just now, Xue Mingcha had already ascertained Xiao Hua's strength. He was only at the Early Nascent Soul Stage, far from being her opponent!
However, even if Xiao Hua wasn't Xue Mingcha's opponent, Xue Mingcha wanting to kill Xiao Hua was the same as Xiao Hua wanting to kill Xue Mingcha … It could only be an idea, but it couldn't be realized!
Of course, Xiao Hua wanted to kill Xue Mingcha, but he didn't have the strength. But if Xue Mingcha wanted to kill Xiao Hua, she had the will and the strength to do so, but … the timing wasn't right!
Yes, Xue Mingcha was following behind Xiao Hua, and her Divine Sense had also locked onto Xiao Hua. However, her Sword Origin had been completely activated, and nearly eighty percent of it had been invested into the flight of the flying sword. Even if the remaining Sword Origin could be used to launch an attack, Xue Mingcha understood in her heart that as long as she launched an attack, her flying speed would definitely be slowed down. And in the process of slowing down, Xiao Hua would have to fly extremely far away again.
Moreover, whether Xue Mingcha's attack would be effective or not, she herself wasn't sure. Didn't she see how Xiao Hua had dodged the previous head-on attack and the attack that Xue Mingcha was extremely confident in?
At this time, Xue Mingcha was relying on the fact that the Sword Origin in her body was far superior to Xiao Hua's. She was waiting for the True Essence in Xiao Hua's body to be exhausted. Once the True Essence was exhausted, the Golden Core wouldn't be able to provide any magic power. Xiao Hua's flying speed would slow down, and that would be the moment Xiao Hua would die!
This idea was naturally a wise move for a high level swordsman like Xue Mingcha, and it was the same for Daoist Jing Ru in the past!
However, the Early Nascent Soul Stage Daoist Jing Ru couldn't catch Xiao Hua decades ago. Could the current Xue Mingcha do it?
After flying like a headless fly for several days, Xiao Hua gradually had a plan in his heart.
He also understood Xue Mingcha's difficulties. As for himself … he had the Heavenly Infusion Technique to draw in the Spiritual Qi of Heaven and Earth from the outside world, and the Dragon Transformation Art to refine the Spiritual Qi. He didn't even need to activate the Golden Core in his dantian. Instead, he could rely on medicinal pills and spiritual herbs to support the Lightning Evasion Technique!
Moreover, this kind of crazy activation of the technique was also a kind of test for Xiao Hua's newly created technique. It was also a kind of tempering for Xiao Hua's other set of meridians that hadn't fully matured yet!
Xiao Hua even thought of chasing after Xue Mingcha like this until his Golden Core realm was completely stabilized before escaping.
However, when he thought of Fairy Hong Xia's concern, Xiao Hua decided to take a risk. He would first shake off Xue Mingcha, then head to the place where he had agreed to meet Fairy Hong Xia in advance!
After flying for another half a day, another ice lake appeared in front of him. This ice lake was very similar to the ice lake from before. Moreover, there were ripples on the surface of the lake, and there were very few icebergs. Xiao Hua's heart stirred, and he suddenly plunged into the ripples!
Xiao Hua had used this kind of trick many times in the past few days. When Xue Mingcha's divine sense moved, she didn't even think about it. Her flying sword also turned around and chased down the ice lake!
With a loud "boom", Xiao Hua rushed into the blue water, and in an instant, the icy water rose several zhang. The waves rushed into the air, and a string of water droplets appeared. These water droplets reflected a colorful brilliance under the clear sun.
However, Xue Mingcha didn't care about this moment of beauty. Her sword flashed, and in an instant, she rushed into the blue water …
However, just as she entered the water, and before the waves even fell, the divine sense that Xue Mingcha released was suddenly blocked. The divine sense mark that locked onto Xiao Hua also disappeared!
It was as if Xiao Hua had never appeared!
Xue Mingcha was greatly alarmed, and she hurriedly released her divine sense to search again!
However, just as her divine sense swept out ten zhang, she immediately felt that something was wrong!
Because in her divine sense, there wasn't only icy water nearby, but … there were many inexplicable things, whether it was foothills, or scenery, or indescribable cultivators, or countless swordsmen …
"Not good!"
When Xue Mingcha saw this, how could she not know that she had fallen into Xiao Hua's trap? She hurriedly retracted her Divine Sense. However, when she retracted her Divine Sense, countless scenes flashed before her eyes. It was as if her Divine Sense had extended forward again!
It wasn't retracting as she thought!
"Break ~" Xue Mingcha didn't dare to hesitate anymore, and hurriedly used a secret technique. However, she felt a sharp pain in her mind, and the divine sense that swept out was cut off by her!
At this time, the several zhang of blue water that Xiao Hua stirred up had already fallen, but the space within several zhang of Xue Mingcha was enveloped by a layer of Innate Primordial Water that was as thin as a cicada's wing!
"Weng …" Xue Mingcha didn't reveal her physical body, and her entire sword let out a buzzing sound. Clearly, she was extremely angry. The sword light flashed, and a sword ray mixed with angry sword qi rushed into the Innate Primordial Water!
Xue Mingcha actually wanted to destroy the Innate Primordial Water at the risk of her sword being damaged!
"Boom!" The Innate Primordial Water was indeed broken by Xue Mingcha, and when the Innate Primordial Water landed on the sword, it quickly corroded the sword light like thorns, and in an instant, some parts of the sword light were annihilated!
However, that wasn't all. In the gaps between the Innate Primordial Water droplets, wisps of spiritual fire also appeared, and landed on the sword light!
"Hiss, hiss, hiss …" The sound was also extremely soft, and the sword light was actually ignited by the spiritual fire …
"Damn it!"
Xue Mingcha urged her sword origin, and tried her best to resist the corrosion of the Innate Primordial Water. Her divine sense swept out again, and she already saw that Xiao Hua had already flown several li away!
