The Empress’s Blind Consort: Invincible in Secret

Chapter 23 – The mighty power of the Sword Sense of Time and Space is fully displayed!

"Sword Elder!? What are you doing here!"

For the first time, Wu Die showed a look of fear. She stared blankly at the old man in the straw raincoat, just about to speak, when she noticed Meng Qingzhou finishing his farewell drink and boasting shamelessly about killing someone for fun.

"Sir, you must leave this place and seek the protection of Your Majesty!"

Meng Qingzhou smiled faintly and shook his head, saying, "No need. With a cultivation level at the half-step Sea Covering Realm, I can travel a thousand miles with a single thought, overturn rivers and seas at will, possessing immense divine power. Where could I possibly run to?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Die became anxious and pleaded, "Sword Elder, please spare Mr. Meng."

In the Great Jin Dynasty, those at the Ninth Rank Realm could be considered martial experts, the First Rank Realm were land immortals in the eyes of mortals, the Cloud Ascension Realm could dominate a region, and the Mountain Moving Realm could establish their own sect, becoming the leader of a medium or small sect.

As for cultivators at the Sea Covering Realm, they were seen as living gods, mysterious beings whose true forms were rarely seen.

In Wu Die's eyes, the Sword Elder at the half-step Sea Covering Realm was already a being as powerful as a deity.

The Sword Elder poured the remaining wine from the jug onto his ancient bronze sword, moving leisurely and indifferently, saying, "The Heir Apparent has asked me to kill this man and cripple your cultivation to bring you back. I think you should plead for yourself first."

Upon hearing this, both Wu Die and Meng Qingzhou were stunned, their faces filled with confusion.

Huh?

Meng Qingzhou was shocked.

Is the overpowered protagonist insane? Such a powerful future Morning Glow Realm expert, and you want to cripple her cultivation?

Are you out of your mind?

"What do you mean?" Wu Die asked, bewildered.

The Sword Elder replied, "I don't know, and I don't care. Will you cripple your own cultivation, or shall I help you?"

Wu Die was dumbfounded.

What kind of nonsense is this? I risked my life to help you kill someone, the task isn't even complete, and now you're sending someone to harm me?

Backstabbing your teammates, huh?

"How shameless." Wu Die despaired but maintained her composure. Her cold eyes fixed on the Sword Elder, she resolutely said, "Sir, you must leave the mountain quickly! I will hold him off."

Seeing this, Meng Qingzhou felt relieved. He had been somewhat displeased, after all, it was this woman who dragged him into the main storyline.

But she was also helpless, and her sense of responsibility at the moment of death showed that she was a kind and gentle woman at heart.

"Enough talk." The Sword Elder squinted his eyes slightly, staring at Meng Qingzhou, and said slowly, "You, it's time to go."

Wu Die stepped in front of Meng Qingzhou, turned back with a smile, and said, "I'm sorry, it's my fault for involving you, sir... Run quickly."

As she finished speaking, Wu Die bit her tongue, burning her essence blood to forcibly enhance her strength, preparing to trade her life for time to delay the Sword Elder.

Tap!

Tap, tap!

Tap, tap, tap...

The Sword Elder walked towards the two unhurriedly, each step causing Cool Breeze Mountain to tremble rhythmically, like a dragon turning over in the earth.

Clang!

A sharp, piercing sword cry echoed. The bronze sword, covered in rust, was enveloped in a fierce sword sense.

Around the Sword Elder, the void was sliced into small fragments, and the chaotic currents hidden in the void roared, making him seem like a Sword Emperor returning from ancient times.

Pfft!

Wu Die coughed up blood. Without even engaging in battle, just a hair-thin strand of sword sense had severely injured her from a distance.

"So strong." Wu Die knelt on the ground in despair, her almond-shaped eyes filled with helplessness and hopelessness, murmuring, "Brother, sister can't save you anymore."

Suddenly,

A surge of powerful sword sense shot into the sky, even the gentle breeze turned into sharp sword scars!

Wu Die was first stunned, then turned back in shock, only to see Meng Qingzhou standing behind her, his posture upright, his expression cold as he faced forward.

"Sir, you..." Wu Die's face turned pale with shock.

She was very intelligent and instantly thought of many things.

The sir was not a mortal without cultivation!

"You think you have the upper hand, don't you?" Meng Qingzhou spoke, his tone murderous, "Old man, you should know there's always someone better."

Meng Qingzhou's words carried an imperial decree-like power, each word turning into a majestic sword flow, suppressing all of the Sword Elder's sword sense.

"I gave you a chance, but you didn't cherish it."

The Sword Elder squinted his eyes slightly, his steps suddenly halted, looking at Meng Qingzhou in surprise.

"The information was wrong, you're a sword cultivator? And quite accomplished, interesting."

Meng Qingzhou's killing intent grew stronger, his patience wearing thin.

He had been cautious enough, trying to avoid getting involved in the main storyline, fearing to provoke the overpowered protagonist and the major villains, even going so far as to marry into a family and do nothing.

But after only a month of peaceful days, Zhao Gou sent someone to cause trouble for no reason.

What the hell did I do to you? We've never even met.

Meng Qingzhou sneered, "Maintaining your expert demeanor even at death's door, old man, I think you've overdosed on brain supplements."

Thud!

With that, Meng Qingzhou tapped the void lightly with his blind cane. Instantly, all the shattered space and raging currents were restored.

The surrounding scenery lost its color, turning black and gray.

Like a black-and-white photograph, birds flying and diving reversed frame by frame, fallen leaves returned to the branches bit by bit...

The Sword Elder was stunned, looking around blankly, his expression gradually turning serious.

"Sword Incantation, Break!" The Sword Elder shouted, his sword moving like a dragon.

A vast sword light surged towards Meng Qingzhou, its terrifying power enough to annihilate everything!

Meng Qingzhou's lips curled up, and he said indifferently, "Suppress!"

In an instant, the sword sense seemed to hit an invisible barrier, unable to advance any further.

Then, the vast sword sense shattered with a bang! Turning into countless fragments, it returned to the Sword Elder's body.

Meng Qingzhou uttered another word, "Revert!"

Immediately, the world lost its color, turning black and white, the scenery reversing as if on a fast-moving train, the surroundings flowing backward rapidly.

"What... what is this?"

The Sword Elder could no longer remain calm. He was horrified to find that the spiritual energy he had released earlier was slowly returning, and the void that had been cut into pieces was reassembling.

"Time laws!" The Sword Elder, uncontrollably retreating to his original position, said, "This is impossible, integrating time laws into swordsmanship, unheard of! It's absurd!"

"Slash!" Meng Qingzhou uttered a word.

The next moment, a memory appeared out of nowhere in the Sword Elder's mind.

It was ten years ago,

The day he broke through to the half-step Sea Covering Realm, his appearance hadn't changed much from now.

The Sword Elder sat cross-legged in his cave, sweating profusely.

At the critical moment of his breakthrough, a beam of light suddenly shone into the dark cave, a short sword formed by the tributary of time, slashing off one of his arms with a swish.

At the same time, the Sword Elder, disturbed, failed his breakthrough and his realm fell to the peak of the Mountain Moving Realm.

"An illusion?" The Sword Elder came back to his senses, indifferent, but when he looked down, he found that one of his arms was missing!

The cross-section of the severed arm had an ugly scar.

Not only that, the Sword Elder inexplicably fell to the peak of the Mountain Moving Realm!

"Your sword sense can mark a target, revert time to interfere with the past, making it a predetermined fact in the present and future?" The Sword Elder's face was full of fear and panic, his teeth chattering as he spoke.

Damn Zhao Gou, what kind of person have you provoked!

And those intelligence organizations, are they eating shit? Such a terrifying Sword Saint, and you told me he was a mortal?

I've been screwed by my pig teammates!!

"Zhao Gou, you've done me a great disservice!" The Sword Elder decisively pleaded, "Senior, spare my life, I am willing to pay any price!"

Meng Qingzhou grinned, "Knowing my cultivation level, you are already guilty beyond redemption. As a sword cultivator, witnessing this Sword Sense of Time and Space, you can die without regrets."

"Go with dignity, I give you the highest respect."

Upon hearing this, the Sword Elder's forehead was drenched in cold sweat, and he gritted his teeth, "Senior, don't push me. If you push me too hard, even if it costs my life, I can still injure you severely!"

Meng Qingzhou smiled without speaking, his killing intent growing stronger.

Trade your life for an injury?

Sorry, you underestimate the power of the Sword Sense of Time and Space.

Suddenly.

The Sword Elder's eyes glazed over, he patted his head, and laughed dumbly, "What was I saying, interfering with the past, Sword Sense of Time..."

"I've always been at the peak of the Mountain Moving Realm, I tried to break through to the half-step Sea Covering Realm before, but unfortunately failed."

"As for my arm... I can't remember, maybe it was injured in some battle."

Meng Qingzhou's smile was radiant, showing a row of white teeth, and he said warmly, "You're right!"

This smile, however, terrified Wu Die, who was watching from the side, her lips turning bloodless, her eyes staring blankly at Meng Qingzhou.

For the first time, she felt what true terror was!
