Chapter 73: Reunion
Her right hand was her sword-wielding hand . She was holding Ding Ning’s Last Flower remnant sword .
That strange presence seemed to first come from Ding Ning’s body, and then, like a spark igniting a pot of hot oil, it ignited a certain presence inside the Last Flower remnant sword .
She had no time to consider this or the consequences of this unknown presence . She only felt this was dangerous .
A sense of danger even stronger than when the flying sword pierced her foot caused her heart to contract violently . At the same time, her vital energy surged to gather on her right palm . Then it controlled the primal energies of the universe in the surroundings to create terrifying power .
The Last Flower remnant sword suddenly lit up .
Theoretically, Ding Ning had lost control of this little remnant sword . Yet, what stopped all the gasps was the blossoming of fine white flowers along the remnant sword .
The packed fine white flowers bloomed at terrifying speed along the entire blade . It was more stunning than when Ding Ning had used it .
A terrifying sword essence, as Palace Attendant Rong’s palm started to burst with power, came out of the Last Flower remnant sword .
This was like the Controlling Sword Essence . Or rather, the experts in this moment felt this was the Controlling Sword Essence .
But there were no marks on the surface of the Last Flower remnant sword . This sword essence came from the deepest part of each sword thread . They seemed to be the core of this sword, the soul .
With a boom, two forces collided in Palace Attendant Rong’s palm, and then there was a violent explosion .
“It’s Yan …”
An uncontrolled gasp sounded .
This voice was old, yet the owner of this voice was a realm seven expert, an old person who usually stayed in a cultivation place and did not come out .
So the two words seemed to be like two roars of thunder on the ground, like an ocean of primal energies exploding .
In this moment, this old person of Changling and some of the other cultivators who also experienced those times realized at the same time . They realized … the power coming out of the Last Flower remnant sword was one of the sword essences drawn out by the Controlling Sword Essence .
This sword essence came from the sword itself . It came from the master of the Last Flower remnant sword .
The Controlling Sword Essence was to form seals and mimic the sword essences of powerful swordsmen . Yet the sword essence Ding Ning activated at this moment came from the sword itself, and even carried the presence of its master from its last battle . It was like the sword was burning its soul .
Within the violent explosion, Palace Attendant Rong’s body suddenly shook . Her face turned snow white . Her right palm turned to bloody mist .
She had suppressed the power of the Last Flower remnant sword and the sword essence of that stubborn Ba Mountain Sword Field woman . But her palm was not as resilient as the Last Flower remnant sword . Blood and bone could not endure this kind of shock .
An extremely cold presence pierced through the bloody mist of her palm and stabbed towards her body with great killing intent .
“How is that possible!”
One of the Astrology Bureau officials under the black umbrella was shocked speechless, and could not help but gasp .
It was a serious matter when an official like him could not control their emotions even in Ye Celeng’s presence .
Yet no one noticed .
Even Ye Celeng did not notice . She, like all the cultivators, was still staring at the lingering remnants of the previous scene . But in their perception, they could sense the sword in Ding Ning’s hand getting near Palace Attendant Rong’s body .
No one could understand how Ding Ning could control his trembling vital energy and make such a stab .

Palace Attendant Rong could not understand either . Her vital energy was also in chaos right now . But she still had her left hand . So she did not sense the arrival of death . She still believed her left hand was enough to fend off Ding Ning’s blow and kill him .
Her left hand stabbed forward . She forced the chaotic energies through the meridians in her left hand and out of her fingertips .
Ding Ning took a deep breath . The Snow Mirror Sword in his hand collided with the power Palace Attendant Rong produced without any finesse . At the moment of contact, his face turned extremely pale . He once again vomited a bloody mist . Yet his Snow Mirror Sword did not retreat at all and flicked upwards .
This was the secret sword of White Goat Cave- White Goat Hanging Horn .
Palace Attendant Rong took a deep breath . She only needed a moment to breath and smooth out the energy in her body . If she had a breath, she could kill Ding Ning .
Yet at this moment, she felt a pain in her energy sea . She looked down in shock .
A hole appeared in her abdomen . A hole that went straight through .
Her body started to tremble, her mind still blank . She did not dare to believe this was true .
But true it was . Her cultivation, accumulated through many years of hard work, seemed to empty out like this, flowing out of her body through the hole . The feeling of power faded out of her body and her body flew up backwards into the sky, pushed by the energy shooting out of her body .
All the spectators in the streets were dumbstruck .
That was a sword light .
It was the Last Flower remnant sword that had fallen powerlessly .
But in that moment, the Last Flower remnant sword flew, penetrating through Palace Attendant Rong’s energy sea and flying in the sky behind her .
No one was able to understand how Ding Ning was able to control his vital energy when he was seriously injured . No one was able to understand how Ding Ning could use the White Goat Hanging Horn to withstand a force much stronger than him, and take control again of the Last Flower remnant sword on the ground .

No one could understand … This was a miracle .
A realm five challenging a realm six . This was a miracle .
And all the cultivators had witnessed this miracle .
Boom! Boom!
There were two heavy sounds of falling .
Ding Ning and Palace Attendant Rong fell to the ground .
Dust billowed .
Ding Ning struggled to sit up in the dust . He was covered in blood and dust . He appeared miserable yet he had a smile on his face .
The Last Flower remnant sword flashed with cold light, advancing with difficulty in the air, swaying and falling like a dragonfly with one wing . But it was falling towards where Palace Attendant Rong had landed .
Palace Attendant Rong laid within the dust, unable to get up . Blood spurted out of her large and small wounds, crawling through the dust like red earthworms .
The surrounding streets were deathly silent . The entire world seemed to be silent .
Everyone saw the sword swaying its way to Palace Attendant Rong and knew the result of this battle could not be changed .
Palace Attendant Rong had used all her power to flip over when she fell to the ground . She faced the sky now . Her gaze was unfocused, and dazed like she did not see the piercing sunlight . All of her emotions seemed to flow out of her body with her blood .

She felt her body very empty . She did not even see the flying sword falling towards her . She just felt everything was empty .
She suddenly found it amusing .
So, after being in Changling for so long and doing so many things, everything was empty .
In the end, she had nothing .
With a soft sound, the Last Flower remnant sword landed through her heart meridian .
Her body did not move . It was like the body the sword stabbed had nothing to do with her .
All those watching shook . The sword seemed to stab through them . Everything seemed to be quiet at this moment .
Only Ding Ning was laughing .
Everyone could feel his joy .
Inexplicably, maybe because of the White Goat Hanging Horn sword essence, everyone thought of Xue Wangxu of White Goat Cave, the old man who died before the Min Mountain Sword Trials .
Many people present had hoped that Ding Ning could win and Palace Attendant Rong could die . But when it happened, they felt no joy or pleasure looking at Ding Ning and Palace Attendant Rong’s expressions .
The sky suddenly darkened . No clouds covered the sun, but the sky abruptly darkened .
Ding Ning’s hands started to tremble minutely . This was a presence he was extremely familiar with .
He knew who had come .
