Chapter 626: Want to Run?

　　“Liuyue!” yelled Shangguan Jing, and he wanted to go up immediately. But the moment he took a step out, he forcefully stopped. I still can’t go there now…

　　Chu Liuyue kneeled on the ground with both knees as one of her hands pressed the Cloud-Sky Copper Sword against the star stone.

　　Huala!

　　A fire sparked out, and a crack suddenly appeared on the star stone.

　　Chu Liuyue clenched the sword hilt with all her might as she supported her body and gradually stood up.

　　Her actions were very slow. Every time she moved, the wounds on her body would break open even more.

　　She didn’t know how many wounds her body had and how much blood she had lost. She simply clenched her teeth tightly as she crazily burned the force in her body.

　　The next moment, a silver light flashed across the Cloud-Sky Copper Sword.

　　Shangguan Jing knitted his brows and closely stared at this scene as his heart trembled. Even in this situation, Chu Liuyue can still persevere in gathering the lightning’s strength and inserting it into the sword… Exactly how strong is her willpower?

　　When the silver light flowed from the sword hilt to the tip of the sword, Chu Liuyue finally stood up.

　　Blood dripped down from her face and rolled into her eyes, causing her eyes to become a sea of red.

　　She roughly wiped away the blood on her face as she took a deep breath in and raised the sword again. At the same time, she looked up at the sky as fighting spirit burned crazily in her eyes.

　　Shangguan Jing was shocked.This girl… Is she planning to risk her life till the end?

　　Twelfth bolt!

　　Thirteenth bolt!

　　…

　　Eighteenth bolt!

　　Chu Liuyue was covered in wounds, and almost all of the force in her body had been exhausted as well.

　　She forcefully held onto her last breath as she inserted the 18th lightning bolt’s strength into the Cloud-Sky Copper Sword.

　　A second silver pattern gradually appeared on the sword hilt. At this point, the rough scratches that had appeared from long-term refinement had long disappeared as the sword became smooth, tidy, and as sharp as ever.

　　When one gently waved it around, they could vaguely hear the sword scream.

　　Chu Liuyue’s gaze slowly brushed across it.

　　The entire sword was covered in an intense peacock-blue color as it was heavy and muted. Stars were scattered all over it, adding a touch of brightness to the sword.

　　The perfect combination of ice and fire.

　　A vague suppression exuded from it—it was imposing!

　　Pride and satisfaction overflowed from the bottom of Chu Liuyue’s heart. Even though this sword couldn’t be compared to the Long Yuan Sword, it was elevated by quite a bit compared to its initial state.

　　If she auctioned this sword now, one might not even be able to buy it for 100,000 white crystals.

　　Chu Liuyue let out a long sigh as she looked up. Since this sword is already finished, then the signs of triggering heaven and earth should also disappear…

　　Chu Liuyue’s expression froze for a moment. This was because when she looked over, the thick black clouds had no intention of moving away in the sky.

　　The clouds rumbled, and the black spiral was gradually turning.

　　Chu Liuyue had a strong uneasy feeling in her heart. “A-Ancestor, what’s the matter? Why are the clouds still here?”

　　Awkwardness flashed across Ancestor’s face. “T-this… It’s because the sword… isn’t completely finished…”

　　Chu Liuyue was dazed. “What?”

　　Ancestor braced himself and said, “…Uh… There’s still more behind…”

　　Before he could finish his sentence, the sky roared again.

　　Hong long!

　　Chu Liuyue’s eyelids twitched.

　　Honestly, she was tired of hearing this sound. First, he said it was nine bolts; then, it was 18. There’s still more now? Why is it never-ending?

　　Her gaze turned. As expected, she saw a silver bolt of lightning appear in the clouds.

　　Undoubtedly, this lightning bolt contained even stronger suppression than the previous one.

　　If this bolt of lightning lands on me… Chu Liuyue really didn’t know if she could endure it!

　　Just as she was thinking, the 19th bolt of lightning suddenly struck.

　　Chu Liuyue clenched her teeth. I’m going all out!

　　Shangguan Jing was actually very worried. Unexpectedly, he saw Chu Liuyue push with her feet and actually rushed toward the lightning at that moment.

　　S-she… She… What is she doing?! Shangguan Jing was so taken aback that he couldn’t say anything.

　　Then, in his stunned gaze, Chu Liuyue jumped up and held the sword high.

　　She actually chose to go head-on against the 19th lightning bolt!

　　Hong!

　　The lightning bolt landed on the sword body, and light illuminated the area.

　　Chu Liuyue’s figure was once again swallowed by the blinding light.

　　“Liuyue!” yelled out the Tianling Dynasty’s ancestor.

　　The silver light flashed as it struck down.

　　For a long time, Chu Liuyue didn’t move at all in that bright light.

　　Shangguan Jing was very worried, and he finally decided to take action. Compared to that sword, Chu Liuyue’s life is obviously much more important.

　　But the moment he took a step out, he felt a terrifying aura spreading from the blinding light.

　　He paused in his actions, and then he saw a red fire suddenly emerge from within.

　　That red fire formed a long and very sharp sword as it instantly cut the light into two.

　　A figure suddenly appeared—it was Chu Liuyue.

　　The current her was wrapped by orange fire as her red clothes flowed with the wind, and her black hair blew upward. She held onto the Cloud-Sky Copper Sword tightly as her black gem-like eyes burned with harsh willpower.

　　Thick and violent force crazily circulated around her body—it was stunning!

　　She was the only spark of color in the darkened sky.

　　Shangguan Jing’s heart harshly skipped a beat. H-how did she suddenly become so strong?

　　Before he could understand what was going on, he saw Chu Liuyue raise her sword slowly. At this moment, countless rays of light spread in all directions as if they wanted to escape.

　　Chu Liuyue’s gaze turned ice-cold as cold smiling intent spread across her lips. “You want to escape? It’s not that easy!”

　　The longsword landed heavily.

　　Huala!

　　The orange fire was hurled in all four directions, and it instantly swallowed the escaping light rays.

　　The Tianling Dynasty’s ancestor was shocked. His eyes were wide open, and his mouth was agape. Is Chu Liuyue… retaliating against the lightning bolt?!
