King of Hundred Victories Saber

At this moment, Qingfeng Valley in the northwest is immersed in the unique atmosphere of early winter.

The weather carries a thin thread of chill, like countless fine ice needles gently piercing the skin. A faint mist hangs in the air, like a gentle yet mysterious veil, softly enveloping the entire valley.

The trees within the valley, their leaves already tinted by the essence of autumn, interweave in shades of gold and fiery red. Occasionally, a few leaves break free from the branches, drifting leisurely with the breeze, akin to golden butterflies gracefully dancing in the air, or like poetic letters sent from autumn.

Mountains in the distance loom in and out of the mist, resembling fairies draped in white muslin, serenely aloof, making one feel transported to an Immortal Realm, inspiring a longing within the heart.

The creek in Qingfeng Valley babbles, with water as clear as the purest crystal, revealing the rounded pebbles at the bottom with a single glance.

A layer of frost covers the stones by the creek, glistening and translucent, flashing with fine fragments of light under the dim glow, its beauty causing one to involuntarily hold their breath, offering sincere admiration.

Even the birds in the valley seem enchanted by the beauty of this early winter, occasionally emitting clear and melodious chirps, the sound akin to lively notes bouncing and resonating amidst the valley, injecting vibrant vitality into this tranquil valley.

Yet, despite the captivating scenery of Qingfeng Valley, a thrilling and fiercely intense battle is unfolding at this very moment.

The clash of swords between Liu Tingting and Dark Night Owl is like a sudden yet striking bolt of lightning, carving a vivid contrast of tension and excitement in this peaceful valley, adding a dramatic touch to the early winter scenery.

Liu Tingting and Dark Night Owl confront each other in Qingfeng Valley, the air around them seemingly compressed by an invisible and potent force, dense as if becoming tangible, almost making it hard to breathe.

The fierce battle rages on, Liu Tingting intensely focusing on the enigmatic Dark Night Owl before her, her heart pounding violently within her chest like a frantic drumming beast.

She is extremely tense inside, knowing well that the evil of the Shadow Alliance has long seeped into every corner of Jianghu, and as the Vice Alliance Leader, Dark Night Owl's strength is unfathomable. She clearly understands that any slight misstep could result in her instant demise, and the Vermilion Bird and White Tiger, crucial Auspicious Beasts concerning Jianghu's fate, would fall into enemy hands. By then, Jianghu would inevitably plunge into an irrevocable abyss, countless lives would suffer devastation.

She takes a deep breath, attempting to calm her trembling hands, striving to quell the surging waves within her heart.

Then, she gathers her full Holy Water Divine Technique, a layer of mist instantly emerging around her, as gentle as the finest spring rain, encircling like a thin veil, sizzling with strands of coolness and a mysterious aura, as if draping her body in an invisible yet resilient shield.

Immediately, her Ice Jade Sword quivers sharply, the blade buzzing, as she performs a move from the Divine Water Swordsmanship called "Spiritual Snake Flash Attack".

In an instant, her form moves swiftly like a meteor, resembling a streak of white lightning rapidly approaching Dark Night Owl.

The Ice Jade Sword gleams with frosty radiance in the sunlight, akin to a nimble yet deadly white snake, emitting a sharp whistling sound, "Swish," directly targeting Dark Night Owl's throat, the sword wind harsh like a winter gale, slicing through the air with a hissing sound.

Seeing this, Dark Night Owl lets out a cold snort, the sound low and full of disdain, as if emerging from the depths of Nine Nether Hell, carrying endless eeriness and chill. His feet firmly rooted to the ground like two deeply entrenched pines, he wields his blade to execute a move from Shadow Splitting Wind Blade Technique called "Black Wind Frenzy".

His large blade spins rapidly, enveloped in raging black currents, roaring, resembling surging black waves capable of devouring everything, filled with an overwhelming force of destruction, colliding towards Liu Tingting's Ice Jade Sword.

The clash of sword and blade produces a "Clang" sound, akin to the tolling of a great bell, painfully ringing in the ears, sparks flying, those scattered sparks like meteors fleeting across the night sky.

The immense impact sends both flying backward like kites with broken strings, landing several steps away. The ground, under the powerful force of their inner strength, cracks like fragile glass, creating hideous spiderweb-like fissures spreading outward, kicking up dust.

In midair, Liu Tingting twists her body like a flower wavering stubbornly in a fierce gale, struggling to regain her balance, a strong unwillingness rising within her heart. She initially thought that the ferociously swift move "Spiritual Snake Flash Attack" could severely wound Dark Night Owl like a sharp dagger, unexpectedly it was easily deflected by his mighty inner strength and exquisite blade technique.

But this did not diminish her determined resolve in the slightest, a flash of decisiveness appearing in her eyes, like the brightest cold star in the night sky.

Her silver teeth clenched tightly, she shouted with a voice akin to an oriole emerging from the valley, yet carrying endless determination: "Today, you won't harm me a bit!" She swung her sword once more, employing a move called "Heavenly Water Curtain".

In her hands, the Ice Jade Sword seemed to come alive, swiftly dancing, forming a vivid curtain of water gently enveloping her entire being, while the curtain carried a powerful force, rapidly advancing towards Dark Night Owl.

The friction between the water curtain and air produced a "Whoosh" sound, resembling turbulent rivers rushing forth with majestic momentum.
