On the platform in the Ruined Observatory, Kou Chongxue’s clone stared at the void that was filled with sword qi with a tense expression. Instead of heaving a sigh of relief, his expression remained solemn.0

Kou Chongxue’s clone noticed that there was a strand of sword qi sealed in the platform when he arrived, and that was the reason he was able to pass through the restrictions with the Lightning Bird back then.0

Back when Kou Chongxue opened up a secret path into the observatory with a slash of his sword, it shaved off a lot of the restrictions around it and became an area of weakness.0

Lu Wuzi’s Halo Mirror lived up to its name and easily managed to find the location of the path. However, he didn’t know that it was where Kou Chongxue’s sword qi remained when he carved the path out back then. That wasn’t all. He also hid another strand of sword qi in case anything went wrong. 0

When Yin Jingxu followed Lu Wuzi’s instructions in an attempt to destroy the restrictions with starlight, he managed to activate Kou Chongxue’s sword qi.0

The sword qi might be powerful, but Kou Chongxue’s clone knew that it was far from capable of harming Lu Wuzi, Yin Jingxu, and the rest.0

After all, the sword qi his true body left behind was something he did so casually. A good portion of the power it contained was actually used up when the clone and the Lightning Bird entered the Ruined Observatory previously.0

Indeed… After the sword qi emerged, Lu Wuzi’s scream filled the air.0

“Kou Chongxue!” 0

His yell was so powerful that the sword qi started to tremble, and so did the space around...0
