"Right? I was startled when I woke up too."
Li Sushang looked at Fu Hua with delight.
Clearly, reuniting with an old friend is a joyful experience.
"However, although times have changed, the people from five hundred years ago are still here—it feels like a dream."
"The class monitor? She is...."
"It's an old friend, and there's more to it than meets the eye—are you alright, Kiana?"
"I'm fine. But, class monitor, you need to be careful. She looks like one of Otto's men."
"Who's a subordinate of the Rakshasa?! This 'Valkyrie' title is something that guy just gave me—I don't want to be that kind of person!"
And obviously.
The two whispered words did not escape Li Sushang's ears.
This immediately aroused Li Sushang's dissatisfaction.
"Don't get me wrong, the Rakshasa saved my life, so I agreed to help him fight - but he only asked me to stop Grandmaster Chiyuan, but he didn't say that there would be any help? One-on-one is fine, but I can't beat two people."
"This is such a bad deal. Don't the Rakshasa people think too highly of me?"
Li Sushang muttered a complaint.
But Fu Hua, standing before him, also had a solemn expression.
(No... he didn't misjudge you, and he didn't misjudge me either.)
"Kiana, you... may have to go first."
"If I'm not mistaken, the two of us working together can indeed render her helpless, but... that will also hinder our mission. In the worst-case scenario, she might defeat me, but she'll also hold you back for a long time."
Fu Hua looked at Kiana with a serious and earnest expression.
Li Sushang, standing to the side, simply shrugged.
"To be honest, I don't have confidence, Grand Master..."
"To achieve that, one naturally needs to pay a considerable price—otherwise, it would be a different story; they would weigh the pros and cons and adapt accordingly."
(cjdd) "But you... are probably indifferent to gains and losses when it comes to keeping your word. The saying 'A promise made is a promise kept'—this doesn't change just because the person you're making the promise to is a pretentious hypocrite."
Fu Hua calmly made his judgment and said this to Li Sushang.
And in the conversation.
Of course, he didn't forget to belittle Otto.
""
"...What has that Rakshasa guy done in the last five hundred years? I've never heard a good word about him..."
Li Sushang was speechless.
From the time I woke up until now...
This is the general consensus among those who evaluate the Rakshasa.
However, Fu Hua's judgment of her was completely accurate.
Valuing promises above life itself was not a particularly rare quality in the era in which she grew up.
The stories she grew up listening to—the assassin who never returned, the swordsman in the Void-Slaying Robe—all of them made her feel that this is how one should live and act chivalrously.
[Su Chang: Seriously! Why did we have to believe Otto's nonsense?!]
[Hu Tao: Everyone's opinions about Otto say something, don't they?]
[March 7th: Yeah! Otto's schemes and plans are all out in the open! It's not like he has any other plans behind the scenes!]
Xingqiu: The spirit of chivalry... is indeed how it should be...
Kiana: Keeping promises is true... but... Otto...
[Tesla: Go Fu Hua!! Defeat her and stop Otto!!]
And in the picture.
Kiana was still somewhat hesitant.
But Fu Hua further dissuaded her.
"Kiana, don't forget our mission. No matter what, we should make sure someone is still moving forward. There are more important things waiting for us."
Facing that former bishop of destiny who never played by the rules.
Prioritizing the overall situation is especially important.
After a moment of silence.
"I understand, class monitor..."
Kiana didn't say anything more, she just quietly turned around.
"But... to be honest, I don't have much confidence facing Otto."
"So you have to come and help me quickly!"
"Well, be careful."
Done.
The girl glanced back at the two of them again, then stopped hesitating pointlessly. A few seconds later, her footsteps faded into the distance.
And this moment.
On the square.
Only Fu Hua and Li Sushang remained.
"Don't you need to do something?"
Fu Hua asked the question, having already made ample preparations since earlier.
To ensure Kiana's safe escape even if the opponent makes a move.
Both Otto, who arranged for her to be here, and Otto herself, understood how extraordinary this seemingly naive girl was.
In terms of the Taixu Sword Qi, in Fu Hua's understanding, it can even be described as "unique" in the world.
But the anticipated blow never came.
"No need. I only agreed to one match, and I mean it."
The girl smiled and shrugged.
"He won't give me a reward for playing one more game."
""
"Uh... meeting again after 500 years feels a little awkward."
Li Sushang's smile remained radiant.
“I’ve already fought with my grandmaster, right? Although I’ve forgotten, the Rakshasa said that Grandmaster Chiyuan and I have settled our score.”
"You have promises you must keep, and I have missions I must accomplish."
"makes sense."
The conversation ended there.
The girl took her first step, walking from the edge of the observation deck.
In a subtle way.
The two people, who were so alike, finally stood face to face.
"Let's talk about catching up after everything is over."
"Alright—excuse me, Grandmaster Chi Yuan!"
Finished!
The young girl stepped forward!
An internal war belonging to the Taixu lineage.
And so it began!
“Grandmaster Chi Yuan, you and I are both holding back our moves. This can’t go on forever.”
""
(That's right, unlike me, her sword heart is still intact.)
(If the current situation continues and we keep at it, I might not be her match now.)
As the founder of the Taixu Sword Sect, Fu Hua viewed this as a battle in which both sides had already revealed their trump cards.
That's why she knew all too well that there was no chance of winning this battle by conventional means.
With this thought in mind, she looked past the girl and towards the distance of the town.
She made her decision.
A decision that, if a third party were present, might even be interpreted as her deliberately seeking death.
(I must induce her to use that move.)
After several more moves...
"I will strike with all my might for the next blow. If you don't take it seriously, you could very well... perish here."
"Oh"
“I’m serious, so if you want to keep your promise, then show your hand, Li Sushang.”
Do you believe that we have no choice but to fight to the death?
"You should know what Otto is planning. To me, it's an absolutely unacceptable atrocity! Five hundred years of history is worth fighting for!"
"Sigh... well then..."
The girl sighed and bowed to Fu Hua.
"Li Sushang, the eldest disciple of the Supreme Freedom Sect, requests guidance from our Grandmaster!"
"Taixu Sword Qi."
"Shen Yun!"
On the other side, Fu Hua knew that this sword strike, which she herself had created, was unavoidable.
But she still took a half step back on one leg, assuming a defensive stance.
The light that both of them were extremely familiar with burst forth at this moment!
The first chapter today! Five thousand words!
Brothers!! A massive update!!! Please give me some ratings and flowers to support me!! QAQ My kidneys are all gone!
Chapter 89 Otto, Betrayed by All! [Please Subscribe!!]
Amidst the overwhelming white light.
This sword, formed from the power of a god, was unavoidable and was about to pierce Fu Hua's forehead—just like back then.
Just now.
Those who held the hilt and the blade of the sword are long gone, their times and circumstances have changed.
All the past events are now consigned to the present moment in the flowing time. Fu Hua has uttered this sentence countless times.
But today, everything is different.
"I will... remember it forever."
"Huh... what's this—"
The viewing platform was completely still.
From form to intention, the Taixu Sword God who was originally involved in everything no longer exists.
In Fu Hua's hand, the black and gold gauntlet refracted a beam of light that seemed to have a tangible substance before randomly turning into dust.
