Signing In At Mount Sword For 100 Years To Become Invincible-Chapter 344 - Xue Gie's True Identity
344 Xue Gie’s True Identity
Xue Gie’s figure instantly moved a hundred steps away. However, even though her reaction was already fast, the corner of her cloak was still burned by the fire.
The thick black cloak ignited with raging flames. Seeing that she couldn’t put it out, Xue Gie tore it off and threw it on the ground.
“As expected, I underestimated you…”
Xue Gie looked at the light burns on her body and muttered to herself. However, her melodious voice was already filled with a terrifying killing intent.
At the same time, the surging flames stopped amidst the falling snow. Although there were only a few sword energies, the terrifying heat swept away the snow in a radius of dozens of steps!
Under the snow, Lin Ran stood in the grass with Dragon Roar in his hand. Wisps of white smoke rose from his body.
“It seems that you don’t know me very well either!”
Lin Ran tilted his head to the left and right, his stiff neck making cracking sounds. “Don’t you know that I have plenty of swords?”
A hundred steps away, Xue Gie was wearing an ice-blue gauze coat. She stood expressionlessly in the heavy snow, her figure looking curvaceous.
“Lord Lin, you really hide your strength well…”
Xue Gie said coldly with gritted teeth, “But so what? The poison in your body has yet to be removed. How long can you last in this snow?”
“Definitely longer than you.”
The corners of Lin Ran’s mouth curled up, and a white light flashed in his hand. The Ten Miles Dragon Roar changed to the black and white Yin-Yang Sword. “Five Elements Sword Technique—”
Hearing the words “Five Elements Sword Technique”, Xue Gie instantly became nervous. The terrifying scene just now flashed across her mind, and she subconsciously took a half-step back and assumed a defensive posture.
However, to Xue Gie’s surprise, Lin Ran did not attack this time. Instead, he held the hilt of the Yin-Yang Sword with both hands and slammed it to the ground. “—Wood!”
Clang—
As the sword stabbed into the ground, a sharp clang suddenly sounded in the air. With Lin Ran as the center, the flowers and plants within 30 steps shook and emitted a green light!
The green sword intent that was filled with endless life quickly gathered and flowed through the gaps between the flowers and plants like a stream.
Countless patterns flickering with green light were faintly discernible on the grass, as if they were the pulse of the earth or some obscure array formation.
Almost at the same time, Xue Gie felt that the poison of the snow had clearly weakened a lot. An ominous feeling quietly crept into her heart.
“You really like to act mysterious.”
Lin Ran let go of the Yin-Yang Sword and stood up. He raised his right hand above his head and grabbed the air. Another black heavy sword that was as tall as a person and as wide as two palms appeared in his hand.
Holding the rough but very heavy hilt of the heavy sword, the smile on Lin Ran’s face widened. He looked up at the snow and muttered to himself, “You say that this snow is powerful, but in my opinion, it’s nothing. At least, it can’t completely restrict my movements.”1
“At first, I thought that it had something to do with my cultivation, so I kept circulating my internal energy to protect my heart, but I quickly realized that that wasn’t the case—”
At this point, Lin Ran paused for a moment and looked down at Xue Gie, who was a hundred steps away. “The only use of this thing is to numb the body. The reason why I feel that it’s difficult to circulate my internal energy is because I was weak after saving someone.”
Xue Gie was silent, but even from a hundred steps away, Lin Ran could see her dark eyes begin to flicker.
“So I did a small experiment.”
Lin Ran looked down at the grass that had been cleared of snow, and a cold glint flashed across his eyes. “Although there are only a few sword energies, the power hasn’t decreased at all. This means that my cultivation isn’t affected. It’s just that I’ve overused it.”
As soon as he finished speaking, Lin Ran closed his eyes and took a deep breath. The air after the snow was filled with a hint of sweetness. It surged into his lungs with sword intent that contained endless life, and his aura rose steadily!
Boom!
An invisible explosion sounded. In an instant, a violent wind blew through the originally quiet forest. Countless snow was swept into the sky like duckweed!
In the blink of an eye, the thousand miles of ice that was filled with killing intent became filled with vitality.
Without giving Xue Gie any chance to react, Lin Ran raised the heavy sword that weighed more than 100 kilograms with one hand and pointed it at the sky. Another huge sword phantom soared into the sky!
With just one strike, the thick cloud that had gathered was cut into two from the middle. Then, it was mercilessly torn into pieces by the strong wind in the sky.
As the scorching sunlight shone down, the snow stopped falling. Xue Gie watched everything with her eyes filled with fear, as if she had seen a ghost in broad daylight!
“One strike to detoxify the poison, two strikes to break the sky… Is this the strength of a Half-Saint?”
Xue Gie said softly with a terrified expression, but her voice was so soft that only she could hear it. After a moment, her flickering eyes became firm again, as if she had made an important decision in her mind.
Meanwhile, on the other side.
After Lin Ran swung his sword and broke the cloud in the sky, his body had basically recovered to 70%. Although he was still far from his peak state, it was more than enough to deal with Xue Gie.
He sent out his divine sense to scan Ye Jin and the young man. After confirming that the two of them were only unconscious, Lin Ran heaved a sigh of relief. Then, a white light flashed and the black heavy sword in his hand disappeared.
Lin Ran reached out and pulled the Yin-Yang Sword up from the ground. He looked up at Xue Gie a hundred steps away. “Let’s end this farce here. Do you have any last words?”
“Yes, I do.”
Xue Gie nodded and reached into her silver hair. An exquisite mask that was as thin as a cicada’s wing fell to the ground, revealing her true appearance. “I have a presumptuous request.”
Lin Ran was about to kill her, but the moment he saw her true appearance, he was stunned as if his heart was being grabbed by a big hand!
Apart from looking more mature and having a few wrinkles at the corners of her eyes, this face was almost identical to Ye Jin’s!
“You are…”
Lin Ran spoke in a daze, his voice hoarse and his eyes filled with disbelief. “Ye Jin’s mother?”
“Sigh…”
Xue Gie let out a sigh and didn’t respond to Lin Ran, but her face said it all.
