Ex-Wife is a Big Villainess

Chapter 448: The mantis stalks the cicada, unaware of the oriole behind



After Jiang Shouzhong and the others left the inn, Jiang Erliang stayed quietly in her room, sitting cross-legged on the bed like an old monk, meditating and cultivating.

The room was silent.

Only the occasional gentle breeze stirred the window frames outside.

The heavy sword named "Peach" lay quietly on her lap.

The broad sword blade glistened with a cold, hard sheen in the faint light.

As the young girl closed her eyes to cultivate, the heavy sword seemed to possess a spirit, autonomously emitting wisps of invisible sword Qi that enveloped her.

In an instant, centering around Jiang Erliang, a powerful and unparalleled sword gang shield suddenly formed.

Light subtly flowed, emitting a heart-pounding pressure.

Even the Heavenly Dog Divine Demon dared not approach.

The mental method Jiang Erliang practiced originated from this Peach Sword.

Upon leaving the bride's grave at that time, she felt an inexplicable connection with the heavy sword, and within mere days easily grasped the profound mental method hidden within the sword.

Initially, Jiang Shouzhong was worried that such a murderous and heavy sword technique might not suit Erliang, as it contradicted the girl's nature.

Moreover, Yan Changqing had once specifically advised Erliang not to practice inner mental methods too early to avoid a shaky foundation and a difficult path of cultivation in the future.

However, upon discovering the perfect harmony between the girl and the heavy sword technique, Jiang Shouzhong's concerns melted away.

Furthermore, after Jiang Erliang practiced the Peach Heart Method, combined with Yan Changqing's Greedy Life Swordsmanship, its power soared several levels compared to before.

Causing Jiang Shouzhong to marvel at the girl's exceptional talent.

At this moment, Jiang Erliang was completely immersed in the Sword Pavilion.

The so-called Sword Pavilion resembles more a Taoist School visualized by masters in the Feathered Transformation Realm.

Like Dugu Luoxue's Desireless Taoist School.

Of course, with Erliang's current cultivation, she cannot establish her own Taoist School.

Thus this Sword Pavilion comes from the heavy sword itself.

It belongs to the Taoist School of this sword.

Understand that, apart from some special magic treasures, all other weapons are lifeless, unless one like Yan Changqing can comprehend the sword heart and communicate with the sword.

The Peach Sword was crafted by Fang Zishang based on a forging technique his wife once pondered, without any special consecration or blood worship ceremony.

Yet this sword gave rise to a Taoist School, showcasing its miraculousness.

Now Jiang Erliang, having recognized the sword as her own, can freely enter the Sword Pavilion to hone her cultivation.

Inside the Sword Pavilion, it was a murky, lifeless expanse.

All around, various long swords of different shapes appeared out of thin air, sternly arranged.

At first glance, it was like being in an infinitely vast forest of swords, filled with mighty Sword Intent above and below.

Jiang Erliang gracefully moved alone within this vast Sword Pavilion, wielding the thousand-pound heavy sword.

Near her, there was also a blurred figure practicing sword alongside her, strictly overseeing.

Whenever Jiang Erliang erred in any step, this figure would stop motionless.

Only when Jiang Erliang corrected herself did it continue to wield the sword.

The Peach Sword Technique consists of ten forms, like ten celestial gateways.

At the moment, Jiang Erliang has only opened three gateways, comprehending three forms.

These are named "Sky-breaking," "Shattering Star," and "Su Lian."

Currently, the young girl was fully immersed in the practice and contemplation of the "Su Lian" sword form.

The sword form appeared very gentle and ethereal.

When the young girl waved the heavy sword, it was as if she was gently touching water on a calm lake, ripples lightly spreading.

However, as the sword moves unfolded fully, the surroundings of the blade seemed to gush forth like cold spring water, stirring up rings of icy, shimmering waves, quickly condensing into a layer of crystalline icy edges all around.

Amidst the flashing cold light, sharpness and exquisite beauty were revealed.

Especially reflecting the young girl's pure and untouched figure, it was as if an Immortal had descended to the world, exuding an ethereal and frigid aura.

"The water's light is beautifully lustrous in the sun, the mountain's hue is mysteriously hazy in the rain..."

Unbeknownst to when, a woman's silhouette appeared in this Sword Pavilion.

In the murky and chaotic Sword Pavilion, Sword Intent crossed wildly, akin to worldly clamor. Yet upon her entrance, it seemed to be lightly covered in a layer of tranquil frost, the noise gradually subsiding.

The woman's figure was graceful and her appearance was stunning, exuding an aura of transcendent pride.

It was Jiang Wan.

Jiang Wan surveyed the Sword Pavilion, muttering:

"If not for this girl's advantage, I would never in my life witness such a miraculous scene, there are always people beyond people, heavens beyond heavens."

Immersed in her sword practice, Jiang Erliang did not notice Jiang Wan's presence.

However, the densely packed sword forest subtly trembled and erupted with killing intent the moment Jiang Wan appeared.

But with a gentle wave of Jiang Wan's hand, everything quieted down again.

Yan Changqing once told Fang Ziheng, a sword has a sword heart, understanding the sword heart is the path to truly mastering Sword Intent and embarking on the path of Sword Dao.

Jiang Wan, known as the Unparalleled Sword Immortal, had reached an extraordinary level of understanding regarding the sword heart.

Especially as she and Jiang Erliang were already "integrated" now, if she wished to seize this Sword Pavilion and strengthen her soul power, it would be easy.

But the woman did not do so.

Just as she told Jiang Shouzhong, she had grander ambitions.

Jiang Wan raised her voice and said: "Little girl, stop practicing swords for now, let's go somewhere."

The abrupt sound startled Jiang Erliang, causing her sword momentum to abruptly dissipate.

Before she could react, in a blink her consciousness was forcibly extracted from the Sword Pavilion, returning to the small room of the inn.

"Practicing swords requires balance, training too hard can lead to counterproductive results. Let's go, we'll go somewhere to unwind, I have some matters to attend to."

Inside the girl, Jiang Wan's voice echoed.
