Chapter 20: I Have Nothing Left
Inside Yangxin Hall, in the Imperial Palace of Zhou Country.
Xiao Mo slowly opened his eyes.
Xiao Mo lowered his gaze.
In his heart, there was a sense of profound loss, a feeling of emptiness.
Although this was merely an experience of life, Xiao Mo was only playing the role of "Xiao Mo."
However, Xiao Mo had spent more than ten years in the Book of Hundred Lifetimes.
Moreover, Xiao Mo possessed all of "Xiao Mo's" memories.
In the Book of Hundred Lifetimes, everyone also had emotions, flesh and blood.
Therefore, even if it was just "acting," Xiao Mo had fully immersed himself, and truly regarded Jiang Qingyi as his Disciple.
Although she was fake, a figment of the Book of Hundred Lifetimes.
But in Xiao Mo's heart, she was real.
This is like reading a novel or watching a TV series.
After continuously reading thousands of chapters and watching dozens of episodes, how could you not feel anything for the female lead?
Not to mention, the female lead was personally nurtured by him.
"Sigh, I won't think about it anymore. Reality is what matters most."
Xiao Mo sighed and reopened the Book of Hundred Lifetimes.
This life experience was over. Let's see what rewards he could get this time.
The Book of Hundred Lifetimes is currently calculating quest rewards. It is estimated to be completed in one hour (real time). During this period, the host can enter the Book of Hundred Lifetimes as an "Observer" to watch Jiang Qingyi's subsequent experiences, but cannot interfere.
Note 1: After one hour, the first life experience will be settled, and the host will no longer be able to enter the first life experience.
Note 2: When the host enters the Book of Hundred Lifetimes as an "Observer," it is like stepping into the long river of time, where the flow of time is more than a thousand times faster. When the host returns to reality, it may cause some discomfort.
Does the host wish to enter the Book of Hundred Lifetimes?
"Yes!"
Xiao Mo didn't hesitate at all and chose to enter the Book of Hundred Lifetimes.
He wanted to see what happened to Qingyi later.
Even if Qingyi was fake.
He still hoped Qingyi would have a good ending.
In a daze, Xiao Mo's consciousness re-entered the Book of Hundred Lifetimes.
Xiao Mo found himself standing in front of the Xiao Wang Residence's main gate.
But what was different was that Xiao Mo found his body to be transparent, like a Soul, and he couldn't touch anything.
"Boom!"
A loud noise came from the front courtyard of the Xiao Wang Residence.
Xiao Mo floated inside.
In the courtyard, Ye Sandao had already struck Xiao Mo's Sword Realm twice.
And just as Ye Sandao struck his last blow, to everyone's surprise, Xiao Mo's Sword Realmshattered on its own.
This strike kicked up a huge cloud of dust.
A young girl, holding the Xuanshuang Longjian, walked out of the dust.
Tears stained the corners of the girl's eyes, and her eyes were like death, devoid of any luster.
"Dead…"
"All dead."
"All gone…"
"I have nothing left."
She walked forward step by step, the longsword dragging on the ground, creating sparks on the marble.
She was muttering something, her entire being seemingly completely broken.
With each step Jiang Qingyi took forward, the Sword Qi around Jiang Qingyi became denser and sharper.
Her Realm was constantly rising.
Xiao Jing frowned: "I didn't expect it. Even if he's Soul Flying Away and Spirit Scattering, he still returned the Sword Bone to you. It seems Xiao Mo truly valued you."
"Shut up!"
Jiang Qingyi roared in anger and took a step forward.
Ye Sandao wanted to block Jiang Qingyi, but Jiang Qingyi had already bypassed him.
"So fast!" Cold sweat broke out on Ye Sandao's forehead.
Jiang Qingyi's speed was completely on a different level compared to before.
Is this her strength after regaining her Sword Bone?
"Your Highness, be careful!" Ye Sandao shouted.
But it was already too late.
Jiang Qingyi instantly appeared in front of Xiao Jing, her icy gaze seemingly locking onto his Soul: "You are not even qualified to speak his name."
A sword swing.
Blood spurted from Xiao Jing's left shoulder, and an arm fell to the ground.
"Father!"
Xiao Han was startled and moved to save his father.
"Don't come over!"
Xiao Jing shouted.
But it was already too late.
Jiang Qingyi turned her head, her eyes as dark as ink and as cold as profound frost, and glanced at Xiao Han.
With just one glance, Xiao Han felt as if he had fallen into an abyss.
His body trembled uncontrollably, and he even instinctively took two steps back.
By the time Xiao Jing reacted, the longsword covered in profound frost had already reached his front.
"Clang!"
This time, Ye Sandao caught up and blocked the sword.
The longsword pierced into Ye Sandao's blade.
Ye Sandao felt his body grow heavy, as if struck by a mountain, and he fell backward, smashing through the courtyard wall and finally embedding himself fiercely into the Xiao Wang Residence's Formation.
If it weren't for the Formation covering the Xiao Wang Residence like an air wall, Ye Sandao would have been sent flying several hundred meters by the force of this sword.
Ye Sandao gasped, opening his eyes, feeling as if every bone in his body had been shattered.
The Sword Bone was originally taken from Jiang Qingyi's body, so naturally, the two were a perfect match.
Therefore, Ye Sandao was not surprised at all that Jiang Qingyi entered the Nascent Soul Realm because of the Sword Bone.
But he didn't expect that her strength, upon just entering the Nascent Soul Realm, would be so terrifying.
Is this an Innate Sword Bone?
No wonder it was called a holy body rarely seen in ten thousand years.
"Child, it's a pity. Your future is limitless, but you can only die here. I'll send you to meet your Master right away."
Ye Sandao raised his long blade, and the Dharma Idol appeared behind Ye Sandao.
Dharma Idol can only be performed by Cultivators of the Jade Purity Realm. Sword Cultivators can also use it, but Dharma Idol consumes an extreme amount of Qi.
Most Sword Cultivators, when fighting, would choose to unleash their self-comprehended Sword Realm.
Ye Sandao's blade momentum continuously condensed.
At the same time, Xiao Jing waved his hand, and the Xiao Wang Residence's Formation gradually condensed a phantom of a Fire Phoenix.
This was the last Fire Phoenix Xiao Jing condensed, using all the Formation power of the Xiao Wang Residence.
Both of them wanted to kill the opponent in one blow, even if the Sword Bone was destroyed!
She absolutely could not leave alive.
Otherwise, once she grew up, all of them would die!
"Die!"
Xiao Jing pressed down with a large hand, and the Fire Phoenix cried out to the sky, echoing throughout the entire Liang Country Imperial Capital, flying towards Jiang Qingyi.
At the same time, Ye Sandao struck a blow towards Jiang Qingyi.
But Jiang Qingyi still stood in place.
She seemed to care about nothing.
She just looked up at the sky.
Tears gradually slid from the corners of her eyes.
"Master, can you see Disciple's Sword Realm?"
The moment the young girl's tears fell, the hard marble ground actually rippled in circles.
In an instant, the entire Xiao Wang Residence was covered within the young girl's Sword Realm.
The maids and servants of the Xiao Wang Residencelooked at everything around them.
Under the twilight sky.
The ground became a vast lake.
Unlike an ordinary lake.
The lake water was actually dark, inky black.
