Chapter 79
Chapter 79: Peerless Spirit Void
When all the burning trees on the mountain turned to ash, Zhao Si disappeared from the top of the mountain .
The pale white starfire flying upwards disappeared without a trace . But the red flames that had burned on the trees were still rippling through the air and growing larger .
The empress’ starfire came from the eternal and unchanging stars in the void yet they lost to Zhao Si’s fire made from trees in the mortal world .
These trees had burned up their entire lives with their flame .
In the Northern Tiger-Wolf Army camp, before the ice on all the enormous pillars of ice melted, some cultivators finally disregarded the damage the cold energies created and charged into the center .
Then they saw General Lian fallen down as a statue of ice .
Within the blue-black ice, the line of red on Liang Lian’s forehead was startling to see . In their perception, it still rippled with astounding sword essence .
These military cultivators who had fought hundreds of battles were all agitated, and unable to speak in their anger .
On the street around Ding Ning and Palace Attendant Rong’s battlefield, the crowds had dissipated and the surroundings were silent .
Jing Liuli walked out of the gates under Ye Zhengnan and Xu Heshan’s confused gazes . Inexplicably, she felt even more admiration for Ding Ning, but her legs seemed to be heavy like they were made out of lead .
The presences in the sky were in slight disorder . Because many experts had released their presences, even the sky was dimmed . There were no dark clouds, but there seemed to be clouds covering the sun .
Droplets of rain fell on the ground in front of Jing Liuli . The rain still carried some of the nether coldness, like this was the melted ice and snow that had floated out of the Northern Tiger-Wolf Army camp .
At this time, Jing Liuli suddenly raised her head .
The crowds had dissipated, and a youth walked out of a silent alley .
The youth wore bright purple robes . However, his purple robes felt illusory . His entire presence was the same, ethereal and empty like he was just a multi-coloured cloud .
Standing on the stairs, Ye Zhengnan’s pupils suddenly contracted . He could clearly see the face of this youth .
This youth had a clean face which looked young and immature . However, Ye Zhengnan felt the other was especially dangerous and terrifying, and his energies uncontrollably surged .
In his mind, even the first time he saw Jing Liuli, he only felt mountainous pressure and awe, but not this feeling of danger all over his body .
Who is this youth?
His breathing began to stop .
He and Jing Liuli were different . The moment she saw this youth, she knew who this was .
In Changling, other than Ding Ning, only one person would cause her to feel like this .
“An Baoshi?” Her brow furrowed slightly as she spoke when she saw this youth floating over like a cloud .
Behind her, Xu Heshan was stunned .
Just like how Jing Liuli’s appearance could cause Jing Liuli to tremble, when An Baoshi of Spirit Void Sword Sect appeared, this meant that something unusual was happening .
The purple-robed youth smiled .
This smile caused him to look more human like he fell from the cloud to the ground .

But when a person from the heavens fell to the ground, he still did not look like he was in the mortal world . So while he looked tangible, he was even more strange .
“I am An Baoshi . ”
He looked at Jing Liuli who did not conceal her hostility . He asked directly without any politeness, “Do you know why all these years when Changling ranked us together, why I never left Spirit Void Sword Sect to find you?”
Jing Liuli looked coldly at him and said, “Why?”
An Baoshi said, “Because I always felt you are inferior to me, and I do not need to prove it to others . ”
His tone was ordinary, his expression aloof and not proud at all . But he gave off the feeling of being extremely arrogant, so much that Xu Heshan, half a head taller, felt like he had to look up .
However, Jing Liuli was not angry and looked at him . “And now?”
An Baoshi glanced behind Jing Liuli . “Now, there is someone who can rank together with me so you are no longer my opponent . ”
Jing Liuli smiled and said, “So you mean since I do not qualify to be mentioned together with you, you came to notify me specially?”
An Baoshi looked at her smiling but cold face and shook his head seriously .
“I came out of Spirit Void Sword Sect to watch Ding Ning’s fight . ” He said in an emotional tone, “Since Ding Ning dared to challenge Palace Attendant Rong, he had a possibility of winning . With his cultivation realm, even if there is just a possibility, then it is worthwhile in my opinion to come watch . But you surprised me . You have no sword in hand, but your sword essence is much stronger than before . It appears that you improved greatly these days in Changling, enough for me to test your sword . ”
Hearing these words, Ye Zhengnan and Xu Heshan involuntarily tensed . This was undoubtedly a challenge .
Enough shocking things had happened today . Now, when everyone thought the curtain was down, a legendary person like An Baoshi appeared in front of them … all of this was just as unreal as the dimmed sunlight from before .
They also knew that Jing Liuli could not avoid this challenge .

In a breath, Jing Liuli nodded and said, “All right . ”
There was a snapping sound .
A small crack appeared in An Baoshi’s purple robes, yet his expression did not change .
He was like a son of heaven, giving off the feeling of pride without having any proud expression . He nodded and said to Jing Liuli, “Please . ”
Jing Liuli narrowed her eyes slightly . Her accumulated sword essence was sent out . The wind remained calm in front of her .
But any of the natural seal scripts from energy flowing in the air appeared like her sword essence . Her sword seemed to be everywhere in the world . Her sword seemed to exist within every seal script in the world, and any of these seal scripts could appear at any moment to fall towards An Baoshi .
This was the true Great Ease sword essence .
There was no sword but An Baoshi was surrounded by swords .
This was undoubtedly Jing Liuli’s strongest attack, so strong Xu Heshan trembled all over . Only now did he know how strong Jing Liuli, known as a monster among the younger general, was .
The world was full of swords .
How could one blow this attack?
But An Baoshi stood there motionlessly .
He stood there but he seemed to be empty .

Everything was empty .
Everything was empty so when the sword landed, it hit empty space .
Jing Liuli took a deep breath and then slowly exhaled . The swords in the world disappeared .
“This is the Peerless Spirit Void?”
She seemed to say to An Baoshi but also to herself .
An Baoshi looked at her and nodded naturally .
The two seemed to have never fought, but victory had been determined .
Both of Jing Liuli’s sleeves had been cut at the shoulders to reveal her white arms .
An Baoshi’s expression remained unchanged as he gave off his inhuman presence . He did not look at Jing Liuli as he passed by her and glanced at the courtyard behind her . Then he turned and left .
The light in this area of the sky dimmed slightly more .
Watching his departing back, Ye Zhengnan and Xu Heshan looked at the motionlessly standing Jing Liuli and felt slightly sad .
They thought that Jing Liuli would feel very sad inside at this moment .
Unexpectedly, when Jing Liuli turned around and sat back down on the stairs, nothing seemed to have happened .
She did not have any sad feelings .
