The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

In the sky filled with smoke and dust, Chen Subaru and Li Minke could only rely on spiritual vision and spiritual consciousness to identify each other. The strength of the two sides' spiritual consciousness is difficult to distinguish in a short period of time, so spiritual vision has become their only means of identification.

When the Liangyi Heavenly Ice Sword fell into Chen Subaru's hands, under his control, the power of law spread out. Li Minke immediately became nervous. The other party used a magic weapon with the power of law, and the next fight was bound to escalate. If he attacks with all his strength, and the opponent's reinforcements secretly attack him, he is likely to die here.

Realizing the potential danger, Li Minke had an idea and shouted: "My name is Li Minke. Since Taoist friend has the help of magic weapons, Li no longer needs to hide his head and show his tail. I won't kill the nameless ghost. Can Taoist friend leave his name first?"

Chen Subaru didn't pay attention to what Li Minke said, but at this moment he noticed that the other party's spiritual power level in his spiritual vision seemed to be gradually improving.

He realized that the other party might have a trick up his sleeve. He should have launched an attack immediately, but after getting the Liangyi Tianbing Sword, he found that the sword lacked spiritual power and Xue'er had fallen into dormancy. If he launched a surprise attack at this moment, he might not be able to make the opponent feel a real threat. In order to restore the full power of the Liangyi Tianbing Sword, he must inject sufficient spiritual power, and she needs time.

So, Chen Subaru responded: "It turns out to be Brother Li, whom I have admired for a long time. After a little investigation, Brother Li should know who I am..."

Before he finished speaking, Chen Subaru quickly swung the Xuan Bing Sword in his other hand and slashed out. This sword relies on Chen Subaru's spiritual power and sword intention to maintain. After leaving the body, the balance between spiritual power and sword intention is difficult to maintain, so it cannot be projected like a flying sword.

However, with his swordsmanship, he can still control the sword energy to cut a distance. If the spiritual power in the Xuanbing Sword is quickly integrated into the sword energy after striking a sword, the cutting distance of the sword energy can be greatly increased, and the sword energy can also be released.

Chen Subaru did not expect that this sword could defeat Li Minke, but at least it would give him a chance to breathe. However, the next scene left him speechless: the sword energy was too powerful, and all the smoke and dust were cleared or dispersed along the way. When the sword energy arrived at Li Minke's location, he found that there was no one there, except for a spiritual form that could only be observed with spiritual vision.

The increase in spiritual power he saw just now was just an illusion. The opponent had already taken the opportunity to escape before Chen Subaru drew his sword.

In terms of escape speed, the gap between the Soul Transformation monks and the Nascent Soul monks is fully revealed. Chen Subaru's consciousness could only capture the edge of Li Minke's consciousness defense located ten miles away.

Chen Subaru was not only surprised by the opponent's decisive retreat, but also felt lucky. Although he didn't know why the opponent retreated, he obviously had no confidence in defeating the opponent, and it was undoubtedly a wise move to avoid a deadly fight.

Chen Subaru quickly refocused his attention on the attack and defense of the stronghold. The infantry in the Great Jin Army Town had varying levels of cultivation, and they could still fight defensively. However, in offensive battles, those mortal soldiers only relied on their weapons, and were extremely vulnerable when the terrain made it impossible to form formations.

Currently, although a large amount of dust obscures the field of vision, which improves the survival probability of mortals and low-level monk infantry, the cavalry is also unable to find an entry point in the infantry melee, which will undoubtedly increase the casualties of the infantry in the military town.

Chen Subaru quickly used his spiritual consciousness to cover the entire stronghold and inserted the Liangyi Tianbing Sword, which had restored its spiritual power circuit, into the ground.

With the support of Chen Subaru's consciousness and spiritual power, Liangyi Tianbing Sword exerted more powerful capabilities, and a sword domain with a radius of five miles came into being. In the sword field, the dust was quickly blown away by a strong airflow, and the originally extremely low visibility of the two warring parties now became clear and bright.

After Li Minke retreated, the battle situation became clear instantly. As soon as Chen Subaru's sword came out, the enemy scouts immediately lost the ability to fight back and were wiped out one after another.

Although the soldiers in the military town also suffered losses, the cavalry's combat effectiveness was completely preserved and the battlefield was quickly cleared. Chen Subaru decisively ordered the retreat because he knew that a greater challenge was still waiting for them. After successfully wiping out the enemy's three scout strongholds, he did not dare to stay more than a day's journey from the military town.

Before the evacuation, in order to prevent the corpses of enemy scouts from being used by the Huanchen Sect, Chen Subaru decisively ordered that the corpses at each stronghold be burned together. After the team returned, he arranged for the three monks who were handling the funeral to use various spells to disperse the burning ashes, remove obvious signs of fighting, and set up automatic trigger traps and one-time killing arrays on the ruins to thwart subsequent incoming attacks. Investigate the enemy.

On the way back, Chen Subaru asked Xueer softly: "How is Lin Yue doing there? Why are you in such a mess?"

Xueer woke up after the spiritual circuit of Liangyi Tianbingjian was reactivated. Seeing that Chen Subaru was safe and sound, she showed a more humane joy.

When she heard Chen Subaru's question, she replied lazily: "Master, without your help, it would have taken me a lot of time to find someone. The two of them kept moving south, and I missed the last moment to meet them. Good timing. Fortunately, I followed the pursuers, and when your beauty was threatened and was about to become a prisoner, I took action decisively to save them. "

Talking about the reason for being so embarrassed, Xueer complained: "Master, do you really not know how dangerous it is to cross a large realm to challenge a higher-level monk? After receiving the warning from your mind, I ran away without hesitation. Come and protect the Lord. Aren’t you going to reward me?”

Hearing this, Chen Subaru raised his eyebrows slightly. He did not answer Xue'er's words, but asked another question: "Xue'er, Xiao Ling and I are one body. Did you have any warning when she faced the catastrophe before she broke the boundary? "

Xue'er was silent for a moment and replied: "Of course there is, but that kind of threat is beyond what a magical weapon of my level can help fight against."

Chen Subaru nodded slightly and continued: "She has her difficulties, and we also have ours. Now that she has broken through the boundary and left, I don't know when we will meet again. The subsequent journey will probably become more difficult. This time I have encountered a monk who transformed into a god. There may be more difficult opponents in the future. In fact, my life is not long, but I have only a few more years of memory. No reason to back down. Xueer, if I die, I hope you will at least wait for the day you see her again and tell her everything I have experienced, okay?"

Xue'er didn't respond for a long time, and Chen Subaru didn't urge her anymore. He knew that even though Xue'er was a sword spirit, she had her own choices. Chen Subaru has never seen other weapon spirits, but he feels that Xue'er is different and has unique characteristics. He respects Xue'er's wishes and will not force her to make a choice on life issues, even if it involves his and her own lives.

Chen Subaru did not stay with the team for too long. After confirming that it was safe along the way, he returned to the military town early. Before nightfall, he returned to the construction site of the previously unfinished peripheral array. At this moment, the formation concealment work has been completed, and most of the personnel have returned to the military town, leaving only a few formation masters and guards for the final effectiveness test.

Looking at the faintly glowing array pattern, Chen Subaru said to himself: "I wonder if there is still time to deploy another layer of defense..."
