Longevity Martial Arts: I have a Mysterious Water Snake Avatar-Chapter 570 - 426: Better to Die than Not to be an Emperor!

In the Divine Continent's Southern Border, the multitude of mountains became exceptionally hot and humid at the turn of spring and summer. Once you started moving about and broke into a slight sweat, your clothes would stick to your skin, making you feel extremely uncomfortable.

On this day, at the Martial Arts Field by the pond, Hua Menghuang sheathed her three-foot longsword and gently exhaled a breath of turbid air. The turbid breath turned into a white mist, roaring forward like an arrow leaving the bow, stirring up a breezy chill that quickly refreshed her. This was a little trick, akin to a Cleaning Skill!

It was at this time that footsteps echoed from the nearby garden path. Hua Menghuang's ears twitched slightly, and in a moment, she identified who was coming: her two masters, Dragon Sword Bo Qing and Butterfly Sword Ji Limin.

The next moment, a smile appeared on Hua Menghuang's face as she briskly walked over to greet them, muttering under her breath, "I wonder what Grandmaster and Second Master have been up to these past few days?"

Saints possessed such terrifyingly acute senses that Hua Menghuang's quiet muttering sounded to Hong Yuan and the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint as if she were loudly questioning them right beside their ears.

Hearing Hua Menghuang's words, the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint paused. Her rosy, glowing face lifted as she shot Hong Yuan a glare. Her glare seemed to say, You're the bastard who caused all this trouble... That one glance from her was filled with rippling charm, conveying a flirtatious air!

In the past, the high-born and aloof Butterfly Sword Martial Saint resembled an untouchable snow lotus, admired from a distance but not to be profaned. But now, in front of Hong Yuan, where could she still maintain such an air? She was like a young girl deeply in love.

Hong Yuan maintained a calm, righteous facade and said airily, "The principles of human relationships are also the ultimate truths of heaven and earth."

"Heh," the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint scoffed, "Didn't someone say, 'With no woman in one's heart, the drawn sword is divine'? I see it's nothing more than that."

"Oh, is that so? Then that person's understanding of the Sword Tao is rather superficial," Hong Yuan responded, unperturbed, even as the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint brought up a grievance nearly a decade old.

Watching Hong Yuan's demeanor, the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint's beautiful eyebrows shot up instantly. To others, 'Bo Qing' seems taciturn and cold. But I, Ji Limin, know all too well just how sly and shameless 'Bo Qing' really is!!!

However, the next moment, the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint quickly revealed a smile, as Hua Menghuang had arrived. In the end, though, the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint gave Hong Yuan a look that said, "You'd better watch yourself."

Facing such a threat, Hong Yuan outwardly nodded submissively, but internally he remained calm. If love were also considered a school, he, Hong Yuan, would not claim to have reached the Supreme Grandmaster Realm, but he should at least be considered a Grandmaster, a master of it. For the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint to try and control him, Hong Yuan? Difficult, difficult, difficult!

"Eh, Grandmaster, you seem... even more beautiful than before?" Hua Menghuang asked, circling the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint in confusion, looking her up and down with shining eyes.

Hearing Hua Menghuang's naive and innocent words, the Butterfly Sword Martial Saint's cheeks flushed slightly, as if recalling some absurd event, and she gave Hong Yuan an annoyed glance.

Hong Yuan subtly changed the subject, saying, "Let me see if you have completed the homework I assigned."

The homework was to be tested through sparring, a way to verify Hua Menghuang's current strength. Of course, Hong Yuan's primary goal was to secretly continue comprehending the Dream Tao Avenue Truth from Hua Menghuang, thereby enhancing his own Dream Tao proficiency.

A light breeze passed through the slender willows and brushed the surface of the water, causing it to ripple gently. The oppressive heat in the air seemed to lessen somewhat, becoming much cooler.

CLANG!

Hua Menghuang tapped her waist, and the three-foot longsword unsheathed itself, transforming into a silver-white dragon that lunged towards Hong Yuan, baring fangs and claws.

Feeling the fierceness of the strike, Hong Yuan couldn't help nodding in admiration. "Not bad. Beyond the sharpness of the Sword Tao, there's the ethereal quality of the Dream Tao. Most importantly, you've learned how to harness momentum."

Having received the Azure Lotus Heaven Lord's heritage, Hua Menghuang was now clearly far more formidable. She had undergone a complete transformation, her strength incomparable to before.

At that moment, Hong Yuan gripped the hilt of his sword tightly, giving an upward flick. Instantly, blade met blade, sparking intense fire. A huge shockwave of energy surged outward, assailing everything in all directions. Willow branches swayed wildly, and fish in the pond thrashed in panic.

The Butterfly Sword Martial Saint, smiling, watched Hong Yuan and Hua Menghuang with narrowed eyes, a look of pure affection in them. Days like this... I wish they could last a lifetime…

The silver-white dragon flew backward, returning to Hua Menghuang's hand, where she held it tightly.

"I still can't break through that move of yours, Second Master," Hua Menghuang sighed.

Without much hesitation, Hua Menghuang gripped her longsword tightly once more. She executed her Sword Killing Move and even unleashed her newly comprehended Dream Tao Killing Move against Hong Yuan.

Sword Killing Move—Sword Light Thunder Sound!

Dream Tao Killing Move—Like a Dream Shadow Trace! 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

Hua Menghuang swung her longsword, unleashing sharp Sword Light that burst forth with powerful peals of thunder. Her movement technique shifted between illusion and reality, sometimes visible, sometimes not. Powerful, luminous streams of light intertwined beneath her sword, creating one dazzling image after another.

[Dream Tao +100]

[Dream Tao +100]

Observing the notifications on the proficiency panel, Hong Yuan felt quite exhilarated. Good, very effective! His Dream Tao proficiency, which had long been stagnant, was finally beginning to increase slowly. This was truly incredible.
