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

"Hmph! I found the position, and you don't want to escape, but you dare to come and die!" Chen Subaru shouted in a low voice and rushed towards the gun array.

This time, the monk who controlled the magic weapon seemed to have changed his strategy and rushed the long spear magic weapon diagonally upward toward Chen Subaru. If Chen Subaru still planned to use skill to block as before, these fifteen spears would use powerful "overlord nods" from different angles to defeat the skill.

With Chen Subaru's attainments in swordsmanship, these spear weapons that were like "flying props" could not arouse the slightest fear in him. All his previous maneuvers were just to pinpoint the enemy's position accurately. Now, once he determined the enemy's position, Chen Subaru immediately integrated the sword power, sword energy and Lingxu sword intention into one, and swung out a sword. This sword not only easily cut off fifteen long spear weapons, but also moved straight forward, knocking down a large forest in front of it.

The power of this sword finally revealed the true identity of the secret attacker after cutting down hundreds of trees. The three cultivators who had been cut off from the yin and yang path had dozens of destroyed magic weapons scattered in front of them. Their bodies were cut in half with a sword, and only their lower bodies were still standing. Behind them, three familiar figures guarded the injured Gu Yixin.

The three women who had been guarding Chen Subaru before now had empty eyes, like zombies, guarding Gu Yixin who was using the law of vitality to recover from her injuries.

Chen Subaru stood ten feet away and said to Gu Yixin in a cold tone: "Do you think I really can't kill you by hiding behind them?"

Gu Yixin endured the pain of the rebirth of flesh and blood on her left hand, and replied through gritted teeth: "Chen Wenruo! I was really deceived by you. You all had exhausted your spiritual power and your mental power was severely depleted. I could have consumed you to death at that time... ahem... ...But, even now, Chen Wenruo, do you really think you are sure to win? Guess why I didn't run away at this disadvantage? If you can't kill me in an hour, my reinforcements will arrive! Let's see who it is die first!"

Although Chen Subaru did not fully believe what Gu Yixin said, he still had to be on guard. He quickly analyzed various strategies in his mind to see if he could take down this witch. However, the strongest move he used just now failed to break the yin and yang talismans blocking the three women in front of her. The forced attack would only be wasted. He has very little spiritual power left, and if there are reinforcements, he will be in trouble.

But if he retreats and lets Gu Yixin leave, not only will these three women be taken away, but if she really comes back with reinforcements, she and Elder Qin and the other monks will face an even more difficult situation.

When Chen Subaru was in a dilemma, the Liangyi Tianbing Sword conveyed a mysterious feeling. Although Xue'er is in a dormant state, her telepathy with Chen Subaru has not been interrupted. While sleeping, Xueer spontaneously passed on the previously collected understanding of the unknown laws to Chen Subaru through the Liangyi Tianbing Sword.

Chen Subaru released a ray of spiritual consciousness, locked onto Gu Yixin, then meditated on the spot, and began to use his soul to comprehend this unknown law. At first, Chen Subaru didn't understand why Xue'er would behave like this subconsciously. It was quite dangerous to understand the rules in front of the enemy. If he entered the state of enlightenment, it would be very embarrassing to be attacked by Gu Yixin. But after he locked onto Gu Yixin with his spiritual consciousness, everything became clear.

While suppressing the sword intention in her right arm, Gu Yixin used the law of vitality to heal her left hand. The power of the endless law that she exuded was actually the same as the unknown law that she had realized in the sword domain and was suspected to be the law of death. The mystery that once puzzled Chen Subaru was finally revealed.

He finally understood why he had sensed such unknown laws in the Yin-Yang Array before. It turned out that he had only thought about a certain extreme before, but ignored the harmony of yin and yang. There is Yin and Yang, as well as death and life. Where there is balance, there are extremes. And there is not just one extreme. If death is one extreme, then endless life is also the other extreme that balances death.

"Floating life is like a dream, and everything in the world is subject to fate. Heaven and earth are at my will, life and death are tied by a thin thread. Fearlessly walking in song, one thought determines the universe. The mortal body turns into dust, and the state of mind is as free as a god."

Chen Subaru didn't know why he had such a poem in his mind, but after he recited it, he felt as if his soul had left his body. His soul seemed to have turned into a long sword and left his body. Travel through various scenes.

He saw the birth and death of countless humans and demons, and the rise and fall of monks. He saw Li Ke's growth, and felt her love and despair before her death; he saw the cute look of the ginseng general when it was a calf, and felt its shock and anger when it was stabbed in the back by Gu Yixin …

When Chen Subaru's current fragile mental power was almost destroyed by the constant impact of the cycle of life and death, a warm breath slowly surrounded his body, like a spring breeze blowing on his face, and his consciousness gradually became clearer. He found that he was in the Yang Gate of the Yin-Yang Fish Picture, but the surroundings were in contrasting silence, with the remains of various creatures everywhere. Opposite him, Xue'er was sitting upright at the Yin Gate, with something outside her body. It is green and full of life.

Suddenly, Xue'er's deep eyes opened and faced Chen Subaru's. The two seemed to have completed some kind of tacit communication in the depths of their souls and woke up from their slumber together.

Four words echoed repeatedly in Chen Subaru's mind, which was a profound revelation: "Life, death."

Xue'er's voice sounded through telepathy: "Master, have you understood the law of life and death?"

Chen Subaru's soul returned to its original position and returned from that mysterious state. He opened his eyes and answered unconsciously: "No, I am still in the Nascent Soul realm. That is the Sword Intent of Life and Death."

He stared at the three girls Lin Ping, Lin Hu, and Lin Yue who fell to the ground in front of him, as well as Gu Yixin who had disappeared without a trace. He couldn't help but wonder how long it had been since he realized the sword intention of life and death.

Chen Subaru looked up at the sky and found that the sky was no different from before. He walked to the three women and found that there were no obvious injuries on their bodies, but they were all dying, and the yin and yang talismans in front of them were still there.

He lightly touched the yin and yang talisman, and surprisingly found that it could be released directly. So he first unlocked Lin Ping's talisman, and then helped Lin Ping, who had almost lost his vitality.

Feeling her body being gently lifted up, Lin Ping opened her eyes with difficulty. When she saw Chen Subaru, tears actually fell from the eyes of Lin Ping, who was usually as cold as ice.

She used up her last spiritual power, left a message for Chen Subaru, and at the same time used up her last vitality, closing her eyes forever. At the same time, both Lin Hu and Lin Qiu opened their eyes. Lin Hu's originally charming face now looked haggard and calm, more like a gentle sister, while Lin Qiu, uncharacteristically, smiled generously at Chen Subaru.

Lin Qiu said with difficulty: "Master, I'm sorry, we sisters failed to perform our duties, and we cannot escape the fate of puppets..." After saying this, Lin Qiu closed her eyes with tears and accepted her fate.

Lin Hu, who was usually the most emotionally expressive, seemed unusually calm at the moment. She calmly accepted her fate, and like Lin Ping, used her last spiritual power to send a message to Chen Subaru, and then passed away quietly. The difference is that she also sent a message to Xueer.

After all, I have spent a lot of time with the three women and experienced many things together. It is impossible to say that there is no emotion at all. Chen Subaru looked at the cold corpses of the three women and suddenly felt a void in his heart. The messages left by the two women were brief. After reading them, he only let out a long sigh.

Xueer asked with concern: "Master, are you sad?"

Chen Subaru replied: "I am still a young person, so I don't know how to feel sad. Maybe I just think they are pitiful. You can read their last messages."

After that, Chen Subaru forwarded Lin Ping and Lin Hu's information to Xue'er.

Lin Ping's message revealed the reasons for the three of them's betrayal.

She wrote: "Master, Lin Ping has let you down. The three of us wanted to help the master, but after the first yin and yang talisman failed, we lost control of our bodies. Under Gu Yixin's control, we Instead of reminding you that you are far away from Elder Qin and the others, Gu Yixin, under her instructions, deliberately led you to pursue the bait she carefully laid out. To ensure her own safety, she asked us to send a message. Under the cover of Lin Qiu, we sent the transmission note to the location designated by Gu Yixin. Since the information came from us, you may mistakenly think that we are contacting Elder Qin.

"Master, after we passed away, our only sister, Lin Yue, was left. In fact, we don't know our true ages, but before you appeared, the four of us sisters were each other's only support. May the master treat Lin Yue well. Yue, don't be angry with her because of the betrayal of the three of us.

"Although we tried to fight, we were ultimately unable to recover. I am grateful to the master for giving us death. It is the honor of my life to follow the master."

Lin Hu's information added more details based on Lin Ping's, as if she knew what Lin Ping would say.

She wrote: "Lin Ping should have confessed to the master the crimes we committed. I, Lin Hu, betrayed the master and deserved death. However, at the last moment of my life, I still hope that the master can understand that before you enter After the epiphany, what happened? When Na Gu Yixin saw you sitting cross-legged and meditating, he didn't dare to act rashly. However, suddenly, your consciousness disappeared, and then an unprecedented sword intent broke out from your body. The power of the sword not only made Gu Yixin feel threatened, but even we who were in the yin and yang talisman also felt the breath of death. Gu Yixin made a desperate move and controlled the three of us to attack you who were in the state of enlightenment, trying to Interrupting your enlightenment, she failed to expect that your sword intention could penetrate the Yin and Yang Talisman.

"Master, in your sword intention, I have experienced what it means to live and die in a single thought. This may be the most severe punishment you have given to the three of us, but it is also the greatest gift to us. When the vitality of the three of us disappears, we Finally getting rid of Gu Yixin's control, she fled westward alone. Master, I'm really sorry, I really want to be by your side all the time."
