Chapter 49: Compromise

  Zhang Heng didn't cast any defensive spells for himself, watching coldly as Luo Bingxue set up two layers of defensive light screens in front of him. However, his hands didn't stop moving either, continuously casting several spiritual seals.

  With a "whoosh" sound, the Wuling Sword burst out of thin air and stood still in mid-air, its body still slightly trembling.

  Zhang Heng found that the quality of Wuling Sword seemed to have improved compared to before, and its compatibility with him was also getting higher and higher, as if it had already shown some signs of spiritual connection.

  However, no matter how much it is upgraded, it will only be a low-grade spiritual artifact with a lower starting point. Zhang Heng decided to eliminate it after the Fang Yun gathering and replace it with a higher-grade mid-grade spiritual artifact, Moon Sorrow.

  With a "poof" sound, a more dazzling silver light was spat out from Zhang Heng's body. This silver light came from the core of his dantian.

  In Zhang Heng's dantian, there was a silver light group about the size of a soybean that kept rotating. This could be considered Zhang Heng's original essence. He used one-tenth of it at once.

  It can be seen that Zhang Heng is serious this time and must kill the woman.

  All that can be seen is a flash of silver light shooting onto the Wuling Sword suspended in mid-air.

  With a buzz, the Wuling Sword burst forth with dazzling brilliance, transforming into a gigantic spiritual instrument several zhang in length in an instant.

  A suffocating pressure emanated from the gigantic Wuling Sword, its aura was no weaker than that of an ordinary Foundation Establishment cultivator wielding a spiritual artifact.

  Looking at the Wuling Sword soaring in the air, Zhang Heng nodded in satisfaction. It was indeed worthy of using one-tenth of his own life essence, and its power had already exceeded his imagination.

  It can be said that within a short period of time, Zhang Heng's attacking power was enough to rival that of a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator.

  With a whoosh, the Wuling Sword disappeared from above with a huge surge of magical power and reappeared in the sky above Luo Ningxue the next moment, this speed was indeed frightening.

  Zhang Heng's hands continued to cast several spells in a row, and the silver light on the body of the Wuling Sword was completely retracted, becoming exceptionally thick and ancient.

  "Go." The gigantic Wuling Sword slashed down from above Luoyin Snow, its speed seeming slow but in reality arriving before her face in the blink of an eye.

  Luoning Xue gazed at the mighty sword hurtling towards her, yet her expression turned even more serene, with a glint of wisdom in her bright, water-like eyes that seemed to see through life and death.

  Only her long eyelashes were quivering slightly, as if a helpless little elf.

  With a "Ka Cha" sound, the two defensive light screens in front of her were broken through as easily as paper paste by the huge Wuling sword.

  She let out a faint sigh, closed her eyes, and clutched at the last shred of hope, saying: "Can't you just let me off this one time? You can make any demand."

  With a "peng" sound, the Wuling sword chopped to her front, its sharp blade almost touching her skin as white as crystal jade.

  However, a fierce white light suddenly burst out from her body, barely blocking the Uling Sword's powerful strike.

  A powerful force bounced out the Wuling Sword controlled by Zhang Heng, and the silver light on the Wuling Sword also weakened a bit.

  Luo Ningxue herself was knocked flying by the recoil of this sword, her delicate body fell to the ground powerless, and bright red blood spurted from the corner of her mouth, staining her white skirt crimson.

  She opened her eyes, gazing intently at Zhang Heng not far away, and said in a slightly urgent tone: "Who doesn't want to survive in this world? What do you want me to do so that you can spare my life?"

  Zhang Heng stopped the Wuling Sword in mid-air, looking at her with interest: "No matter what kind of request I make, you can agree to it?"

  As he said this, Zhang Heng's eyes swept over the woman with ill intentions.

  Luo Bing's pale face had a faint red mark on it, she knew exactly what Zhang Heng was planning.

  Unexpectedly, the woman's face did not show an extreme reaction, but instead broke into a shallow smile that could bring disaster to the country and its people. A pair of eyes as deep as a secluded valley also revealed a strange and beautiful color.

  "At this moment, my life is already in your control. Even if I let the frost become your dual cultivation partner, what's wrong with that?"

  Zhang Heng was slightly surprised, his heart racing with excitement. In the entire Fangyun Mountain, the fairy-like Lu Xue had actually agreed to be his dual cultivation partner?

  If any of Fang Yunshan's male disciples were asked to do this, they would probably agree immediately without hesitation.

  Luoning Xue's bright eyes darted slightly to avoid Zhang Heng, her snow-white face revealing a hint of shy and coy demeanor.

  "With Brother Tang's abilities, it's not forced at all for you and Xue to become a pair of xiuxian partners. As long as you agree to let me go, from now on we can become husband and wife, together exploring the path of longevity, living the life of an immortal couple..."

  Beautiful eyes with a hint of expectation for life, quietly waiting for Zhang Heng's response.

  "Heh heh, how can a coarse and vulgar person like Tang Mou be worthy of the elegant and refined Luo Xianzi? I'd rather send you on your way to find a suitable husband in the next life..."

  Zhang Heng would never agree to this woman's request, even if she was genuinely willing to become his Daoist partner.

  At this moment, Zhang Heng himself is struggling to survive under the shadow of Ou Yang's old ancestor, how can he have the mood to find a pair of Xiu Dao companions.

  In addition, the current state of transformation seems to be unsuitable for dual cultivation. If it must be done, Zhang Heng dare not guarantee that he won't "refine" his partner together with him.

  It can be said that the Double Refining Technique was of no help to Zhang Heng's cultivation.

  His finger pointed at the void, and the Wuling Sword once again took on a majestic pose, slashing down at Luo Ningxue with the force of Mount Tai.

  Luoning Xue let out a soft sigh, gazing at this world with some reluctance. A slightly cold voice came: "This is what you forced me to do..."

  A fierce white light burst forth from her body, causing the surrounding heavenly and earthly spiritual energy to fluctuate violently.

  Is she going to cast some kind of perverted spell or play self-destruct?

  As soon as he thought of self-destruction, Zhang Heng's face changed greatly, and he quickly withdrew the Wuling Sword, his body hastily retreating backwards.

  However, in the next moment, Luo Ningxue's body flashed with white light and then instantly retracted it. Her face looked even paler, and a faint sighing sound came: "Tang Shixiong, why must you be so stubbornly pressing me? Let's just cancel out our past grievances from now on, how about that? If you don't want to perish together, then come after me..."

  Luo Bing's slender body gently fell onto the Cloud Ribbon, a faint white light enveloping her figure as she flew away into the distance, finally casting a complex glance at Zhang Heng.

  "Deceived!" Zhang Heng cursed loudly and drove the Wuling Sword to chase after the woman.

  Even if he was seriously injured, he couldn't let this woman leave alive. Zhang Heng believed that in front of his perverted defense, even if the opponent self-destructed, it would not be possible to take his own life.

  This woman's cunning and divine power cannot be underestimated. If she is allowed to leave, she will surely bring endless troubles for herself.

  Yan Yuqing, who had been released earlier, although Zhang Heng also had a little regret, the threat posed by an ordinary mortal to himself was limited.

  But this woman was different, whether it was her mind, appearance, or temperament, she was one of the rare ones in this world, and her own abilities were not small either, she actually possessed the heavenly gift of divine power.

  Luo Ningxue saw Zhang Heng chasing after her, and with a silver tooth biting down, she said in a faint voice: "I, Luo Ningxue, make an oath to dispel the demonic heart here. As long as Master Tang lets me go this one time, I will definitely not take the initiative to be an enemy of Master's in the future..."

  Zhang Heng's spiritual vehicle paused for a moment in the void. Since this woman had already made an oath of demonic heart, she should be trustworthy, right?

  However, the oath she made was "not to take the initiative" to be her own enemy, and there are still articles and loopholes that can be used.

  One year later, all the elites of Fang Yunshan will gather in the cave left by Xue Sha Shen Di. At that time, from their own interests, Zhang Heng cannot help but take the initiative to make enemies with others. In this way, it will be easy for them to break the oath.

  Just as Zhang Heng was hesitating, a voice came from over 100 meters behind: "Tang Shixiong, why are you running so fast? I'm exhausted from chasing you..."
