Martial Arrogance Dragon Soul-Chapter 421 - 396 Peril of Sword Pond_3

Qin Qing did not know what this power was, as he had never encountered it before, but it somehow felt familiar...

This power seeped through every pore in his body, cleansing his pores, meridians, and bones, washing away all impurities!

The sensation was so comfortable that it made Qin Qing unconsciously close his eyes.

But at that moment, waves of Sword Intent suddenly surged towards his mind...

"This!"

Qin Qing was startled.

A tsunami-like Sword Intent rushed directly into his mind.

He quickly stopped.

"Huff, huff..."

His chest heaved.

"It turns out that to accept the purification of the Sword Pond is mostly to face the direct attack of Sword Intent on the mind..."

It turns out that the core area was not safe.

It was even more dangerous!

"Of course, if it were merely a physical purification, there would be no danger."

"But... the real purification should be the Sword Intent that pours into the mind. That’s the true purification!"

Qin Qing closed his eyes again and slowly tried to comprehend the Sword Qi.

This time, prepared for it, the Sword Intent that flooded his mind was not as violent as before...

At this time, Qin Qing’s physical body, as well as his Divine Sense, were both receiving purification!

This was a very precious dual purification!

Soon after, someone else entered the core area.

It was Ouyang Xi from Tai’a Academy.

Ouyang Xi revealed a hint of surprise in her eyes when she saw that Qin Qing had reached the core area before her.

Just when Ouyang Xi had just entered the core area, Pei Fulong followed closely behind and also stepped in.

Seeing Pei Fulong, Ouyang Xi retracted her gaze and carefully found a more distant space to begin her purification.

Pei Fulong stopped not far from Qin Qing.

He did not disturb Qin Qing and also silently started to accept the purification.

As time went on, Cang Yuan and Zhu Linglong also arrived.

More and more people arrived in the core area.

A long time had passed...

Those who could enter the core area had basically arrived, and the rest had essentially given up.

But there was one person who was still persisting through hardship.

That was Liu Hongxue!

"Just two more steps!"

Liu Hongxue was still gritting her teeth and holding on.

She thought of her mother...

Her mother’s death was caused by Zheng Meng’er.

Liu Hongxue had thoroughly investigated and obtained conclusive evidence.

However, she was powerless to avenge her mother and did not even have the courage to point out the murderer!

Because she knew her strength was far from enough, she did not have the capital to contend with Zheng Meng’er.

But, if this time, she could receive the purification of the Sword Pond, then her talent and strength would significantly increase, and her status within the Liu Clan would accordingly rise.

"My father would also wholeheartedly support me!"

"The other clan members would be convinced by me!"

"The position of heir to the Liu Clan would tilt towards me..."

"When the time is ripe, I will be able to point out the murderer, kill her, and avenge my mother!"

Liu Hongxue clenched her teeth, her gaze surging with hatred.

She took another step forward!

The last step.

Just one last step to receive the purification of the Sword Pond.

But at that moment—

Around Liu Hongxue, countless strands of Sword Qi suddenly became violent.

"Whirl whirl whirl!"

The Sword Qi swirled like frenzied fish, with dense Sword Qi closing in to strangle her.

Liu Hongxue’s face changed dramatically.

Her mind had faltered just now, becoming too eager for success.

That’s why a mishap occurred!

She hurriedly channeled her Spiritual Power, unleashing Sword Qi in an attempt to fend off the Sword Path Prohibition closing in around her.

But the Sword Path Prohibition was fully triggered, and the last step was inherently the most dangerous place.

She could not resist it at all; the Sword Qi quickly enveloped Liu Hongxue, threatening to devour her.

In the blink of an eye, Liu Hongxue was covered with a dozen sword wounds, and she even lost the ability to resist.

It was at that moment, Qin Qing, who had been closing his eyes, suddenly opened them.

He noticed Liu Hongxue amidst the countless strands of Sword Qi.

"Swoosh!"

Qin Qing took a step forward, arriving next to Liu Hongxue.

He held Liu Hongxue in his arms, and then, around Qin Qing, hundreds of strands of Sword Qi suddenly erupted outwards.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

The Sword Qi howled.

Countless strands of Sword Qi collided in the water.

Qin Qing’s Martial Soul manifested, the Blood Burning Secret Technique erupted, and he displayed the Sword Path to its extreme.

Countless strands of Sword Qi gathered in the Sword Pond to strike at Qin Qing, creating a scene that was incredibly shocking to behold.

Everyone’s gaze converged on Qin Qing.

Liu Hongxue, held in Qin Qing’s arms, felt her heart racing, unsure if it was from the brush with death or something else...

But being held by Qin Qing, she felt an unprecedented sense of security.

This feeling, since her mother left this world, had never occurred again.

But at that moment, Qin Qing had no time to think of anything else, as more and more Sword Qi blocked his way, stopping him from taking the final step.

Now he was bearing not just the pressure of one person’s prohibition but also the pressure of Liu Hongxue’s.

Soon, multiple sword wounds appeared on Qin Qing’s body.

"Qin Qing, perhaps, we should just give up..." Liu Hongxue said with reluctance.

Qin Qing cracked a smile, his eyes brimming with determination.

"Give up? How could I possibly?"

"I promised to help you receive the purification of the Sword Pond!"

"Ah!"

With a roar, Qin Qing took a step forward...
