Chapter Eighty-Five: Heartless Beauty's Tears

  The military account suddenly turned into flying ash, everyone was unexpected, and for a while they were shocked. Fortunately, it was already night at this time, although there was the illumination of torches outside, but Lei Xiang's awkward appearance was not exposed.

  However, the soldiers who had finished dinner and were patrolling around were startled by the noise here. They all squeezed in one after another, and in an instant, the original military account was crowded with soldiers.

  In the midst of the crowd, a flash of white was not dazzling, but it was so stunning. Ouyang Xue's absolutely beautiful face was covered with frost, and her bright eyes stared fixedly at a space in front of her. The long whip in her hand trembled non-stop.

  "What? Which one is Princess Ping Tian?" a sudden exclamation echoed through the crowd.

  "Flat Sky Princess, Ouyang Xue?"

  "Indeed, I'm surprised, what is she doing in General Jun's tent at midnight, could it be that she has come seeking revenge?"

  "Ah, now that Jiang Hu's military prowess is beginning to show, it's only natural that we'd have a romantic affair!"

  "Shh! You little brat don't want to live anymore, don't you remember what happened last time your squad leader's eyes were ruined?"

  Those soldiers looked at the woman in white in the center, and their eyes all surged with a fiery passion, but none of them dared to step forward, apparently Ouyang Xue's reputation was greater than Jiang Huan had imagined.

  Ouyang Xue glanced lightly at the soldiers, a hint of shyness and anger flashing in her eyes, but she didn't take action because the young man had already disappeared without a trace. The incense stick had been reduced to powder by her whip. If that guy was unscathed, what would happen? Ouyang Xue's mind was in disarray. However, she thought again, her Absolute Emotion Whip had reached the third level of mastery, even her own brother had to avoid its edge. That guy's movements were unusual, but he shouldn't be completely unharmed, right? Thinking this way, Ouyang Xue's face relaxed slightly, but her eyes still stared at the space in front of her because there was a strange fluctuation there.

  At this time, Jiang Hao was in a strange space, where there was no sun, no moon, and no stars. There were only winds swirling around, with storms, gentle breezes, some sharp as knives, others soft as a beautiful woman's caress, intoxicating people.

  This was a space completely filled with wind, and Jiang Hao himself seemed to have transformed into a gentle breeze, an intangible and elusive existence. As soon as Jiang Hao's mind stirred, his soul power burst out like a hurricane. The moment his soul power emerged, the winds suddenly sprang to life, swirling around him in a frenzy, while his soul power was swept away by the whirlwind, instantly shattering into fragments.

  But before Jiang Hao could feel the pain, those fragmented soul powers condensed into a light screen on their own and withstood the wind's impact. In this continuous fragmentation and reassembly, Jiang Hao felt as if he had gone through several centuries. Finally, Jiang Hao suddenly discovered that no matter how fiercely the hurricane roared or the storm raged, his soul power was no longer fragmented.

  Jiang Hao lightly waved his hands, and the winds surprisingly wrapped themselves around his arms in a gentle manner, like small snakes twisting and turning. It seemed that with just a thought from Jiang Hao, he would transform into a being of wind, without shape or form.

  In a strange space, a white figure slowly emerged, and it was surprisingly Tianyi.

  He gazed at Jiang Heng, whose eyes were tightly closed, and saw that his entire body was gently swaying in the breeze, as if he wasn't a person standing there, but just a wisp of wind. "This kid has finally mastered the Wind Chasing Step, and has actually grasped the intent of the wind to the tenth level! Haha, what a freak!" Tianyi chuckled and his figure vanished once again.

  Just as the silhouette of Tianyi disappeared, Jiang Heng's eyes finally opened, filled with curiosity, and took a sweeping glance at this space. His eyes seemed to have a whirlpool forming, sharp on one side and soft on the other, very peculiar.

  After sensing the situation inside his body, Jiang Hao was shocked to discover that his sea of consciousness had expanded by more than a factor of two, with an unusually abundant soul power within.

  At this moment, Jiang Heng's spiritual power had already reached the high-ranking mortal boundary.

  Compared with the cultivation of martial arts, the cultivation of spiritual power is much slower. This kind of intangible and elusive thing requires enlightenment to work, and this enlightenment is not something that can be sought after.

  Jiang Hao's spiritual power also surged greatly after comprehending the tenth layer of Wind Intent. He directly jumped from mid-tier to high-tier, and it has to be said that this Pursuing Light Step is really extraordinary. Just by mastering the first layer, he already gained such benefits. If he were to learn the subsequent Pursuing Thunder Step, Pursuing Light Step, and Instant Step, then at that time, relying on his soul power, he would be able to dominate the world.

  Jiang Hao suddenly remembered his bet with Ouyang Xue, if it wasn't for her third whip being so fierce that he had to use all his strength to perform the Wind Chasing Step, he probably wouldn't have understood the tenth layer of the Wind's Intent so quickly. He should really thank her properly.

  On the empty ground, everyone was silent as if they were cold cicadas. Occasionally, there would be a conversation, but it was always in hushed tones. Ouyang Xue's face had turned so pale that it seemed like water was about to drip from it. The fluctuations in the space ahead were becoming more and more pronounced, but the aura emanating from within made even himself feel a thrill of fear. How could this be? Had this guy actually broken through?

  Lei Xiang and others were also staring at that space, with a thoughtful expression on their faces, occasionally casting their eyes towards the white figure in the center.

  "Huh? Where's my army tent?"

  A soft voice came, but it was like a thunderclap in Ouyang Xue's ears. Ouyang Xue suddenly turned around and swung her whip, the long whip flying out like a crescent moon, slapping loudly onto a body.

  "Ah!"

  A loud, mournful cry suddenly rang out, instantly shattering the peaceful atmosphere of the surroundings. The sound carried far and wide, as a giant of a man, over seven feet tall, clutched at his thigh, letting out a blood-curdling scream, like a pig being slaughtered, as he rolled about on the ground.

  "Hmph, get out of my way." Ouyang Xue suddenly turned her head, completely ignoring the poor guy she had accidentally injured, and shouted forward.

  "Alas! Princess Ping Tian, how can you do this? You've dismantled my military camp and beaten up my soldiers. You've come from afar as a guest, why must you be so impulsive?"

  A green figure suddenly appeared in front of Ouyang Xue, only two steps away from her, with a smile on his face looking at Ouyang Xue.

  Lei Xiang only felt a numbness on his scalp, because from this figure, he couldn't feel any aura at all, as if it didn't exist at all. Could it be that this guy had broken through again in just a short while? He had run into a freakish genius.

  Ouyang Xue didn't waste any words, and in the instant Jiang Hao appeared, the whip had already been swung out. A golden black light flashed violently, directly slashing towards Jiang Hao's chest.

  Under the gaze of everyone's astonishment, that golden black light passed through Jiang Hao's body without any hindrance, and Jiang Hao still stood there smiling at Ouyang Xue.

  Ouyang Xue's face changed drastically, she retreated several steps back, pointing at Jiang Huan and shouted, "You, are you human or ghost?"

  Jiang Hao smiled faintly and said: "Princess Ping Tian, of course I am a human. That incense stick is gone, I don't know if our bet still counts."

  "How dare you pretend to be a ghost in front of me! Hmph, the Heartless Whip - Heartless Heaven and Earth, Heartless Beauty's Tears." Ouyang Xue suddenly bit her lip, a drop of blood bursting out, falling onto the long whip, like a lover's tears, instantly absorbed by the whip. At this moment, she actually unleashed the fourth stage of the Heartless Whip.

  The long whip danced in the air, seemingly without any attacking power. The original black color was now tinged with a faint bloody glow. The whip left behind residual shadows in the air like strands of hair, and each shadow quickly retracted to form droplets of red tears. In the blink of an eye, the air was filled with hundreds of droplets of tears.

  "Heaven is exhausted, earth is exhausted, the beauty's tears are exhausted." Ouyang Xue's face suddenly turned sorrowful, a line of clear tears had already fallen, and the blood tears in the air moved, shooting towards her. They merged into the line of clear tears. Finally, a purple-glinting teardrop slowly appeared before everyone's eyes.

  As soon as the purple teardrop appeared, Ouyang Xue's face turned pale in an instant, and her whole body began to tremble constantly. Her eyes also became disoriented, as if she was about to collapse at any moment.

  "It's no good, Princess Pingtian has forcibly used the fourth heavy strike of the Heartless Whip. I'm afraid she's already reached her limit. If this continues, she'll exhaust herself to death." Lei Xiang exclaimed as he saw Ouyang Xue's face.

  At this time, a soft sigh sounded, and a slender white hand gently stuck to the back of Ouyang Xue.

  "Ah, forget it, let's just call it a draw this time."
