The Sword Dynasty Volume 1 Chapter 6: Justice

Proofreader: Zhu Yuan

Zhangsun Lightsnow woke up.

Her awakening was not a physical awakening, but the awakening of consciousness in the Spirit Sea.

She saw herself standing in the Spirit Sea.

The sea, the colorful rays of true Qi had been completely frozen, even the clouds of power falling from the sky were like frozen waterfalls.

She began to realize that she had completely lost control of her body and the power core, and she had walked on the edge of life and death. However, she did not feel relieved because she knew very well that the threat of death had not pa.s.sed.

She saw a faint red glow from the Heaven Orifice, which was like on the top of a frozen waterfall.

That was the power of Ding Ning.

Although she could not understand how Ding Ning had awakened her consciousness in time, she knew that only by relying on herself could she really survive.

Her mood fell into an absolute calm state again, and she did her best to sink her mind into the Jade Palace in the completely frozen Spirit Sea.

Jade Palace shook a little.

With just a little vibration, the frozen Spirit Sea suddenly burst into countless cracks.

The frozen waterfalls also burst into numerous cracks, and her power began to flow.

It was like everything recovered, the tiny water flow melted the crushed ice and then turned into a larger water flow, gathering and rus.h.i.+ng into the sea.

True Qi also began to flow.

All the blue ice power was continuously crushed by the Power Core and condensed to the deepest part of the Jade Palace.

The sea became extremely clear, presenting a light, indescribable blue.

As the Spirit Sea cleared, a wisp of strange color in her jade palace also loomed.

That was a blue-black sword!

In the center of her Jade Palace, there was a blue-black sword!

The blue-black color was so deep that it seemed to devour one's soul.

……

Lightsnow's body was no longer cold, and there was no longer blue ice sand that contained horrible cold flying out of her breath.

She opened her eyes and finally woke up. She returned to the world from the edge of life and death.

Then she saw Ding Ning tightly holding her.

Her eyes were instantly filled with shock and anger and bitter sense of murder. Her palm was slightly raised and was about to fall on Ding Ning's head in her arms.

This palm seemed to be gentle, but it contained some mysterious power, sending out a devastating sense.

Ding Ning slept soundly.

He was already weak and exhausted to the extreme. At the moment when he felt the power core inside Lightsnow began to flow, he felt at ease, holding her and directly falling into the deepest sleep.

He did not feel the approach of death at all.

Lightsnow's face grew colder and colder, but when she looked at Ding Ning's pale face and peaceful look, her palm stopped with hesitation.

At last she took a deep breath. Before the palm fell on Ding Ning's head, the devastating sense of her turned into countless soft and warm air currents.

All the moisture from the frost shook out of the bedding and turned into finer particles, leaving the bed.

She pushed aside Ding Ning's hands, stood up and walked to the window.

Outside the window, the rainstorm had stopped and the light of sun was about to appear.

……

Ding Ning woke up in the sound of crowing of c.o.c.ks and barking of dogs.

The window of the bedroom facing a field was already open. Despite the fence covered with vines standing there between him and the outside, Ding Ning could still feel the fresh breath coming from the field.

The sound of pots and pans, the sound of horses and chariots, the sound of shouting and calling and the noise of arguing husbands and wives in the nearby deep alleys continued to spread to his ears.

After the rainstorm, the whole Changling seemed to recover immediately and become even more lively.

Zhangsun Lightsnow was standing at the window.

She didn't look back at all, but she knew the wake-up of Ding Ning immediately and said coldly, "You were too unbridled last night. If this happens again, I will definitely kill you without hesitation."

Ding Ning looked at her beautiful figure with no change on his facial expression. He whispered, "You should understand that the gap between my power level and yours is too big. I have only one way to save you. Moreover, from the situation last night, I find that the power of the Jiuyou Sword is far beyond my imagination, and your practice must be more patient."

Lighsnow turned around and looked at him calmly as he just got up. "Don't you think it's ridiculous for you to say these things?"

Ding Ning's eyebrows slightly wrinkled: "What's ridiculous?"

Lightsnow said: "If you don't think that some things are more important than matter of life and death, why would you find me and secretly plot against your emperor?"

Ding Ning shook his head and said earnestly, "That's different."

"There is no difference." Lightsnow sneered, "For you, revenge for your master is more important than matter of life and death; for me, practice is more important than my life."

After listening to these words, Ding Ning was silent for a moment, and then he said in a low voice: "I told you, I am not his disciple, and if you have this kind of accident next time, I will still choose to save you."

Lightsnow's eyebrows slightly went up. A look of real anger appearing in her eye.

"Don't say such nonsense. If you are not a disciple of that person, it is absolutely impossible to know what kind of skill I am practicing. If you are not a disciple of that person, it is impossible for you to practice this deadly skill - Nine-death Silkworms, and it is even more impossible to have such accomplishments in power and insights at this age."

Her eyes were filled with cold again, "I just want to remind you of the fact that you are the disciple of that person and that is enough to be the reason for me to kill you. I don't kill you just because you can make my practice faster."

Ding Ning was quiet for a few moments. He looked up at the angry woman, asking sincerely, "Do you really hate him that much?"

"Does anyone in this world not hate him? Even your own Qin people hate him." Lightsnow said without any expression, "People who don't hate him have almost all died."

Ding Ning looked into her beautiful eyes and said more seriously, "So why did you come to Changling?"

Lightsnow saw his one eye, and her angry look slowly disappeared. Her face was cold and calm again: "Do you think I was in Changling because of my former affection with him? I just don't think it's fair ... I just think that he did so many things but ended up like this, and that is unfair. It is only because I feel unfair that I want to kill your emperor."

Ding Ning was quiet. He no longer disputed anything but said, "I will go to the fish market today and come back after killing a person."

Lightsnow frowned slightly, "You have just aroused the interest of Imperial Secret Service. Are you sure this is a good time?"

Ding Ning nodded, "Zhao Zhan has just died, and the powerful figures of Jiantian Department and Imperial Secret Service will have more things to do."

ZhangSun Lightsnow looked at him and asked: "Who do you want to kill?"

Ding Ning rubbed his cheek and whispered, "Song Shenshu."

Lightsnow carefully thought for a moment, her memory was not very good, but fortunately, the number of pract.i.tioners in Changling was not too large, and the name was related to Qin's collection of cla.s.sics and history books, so she immediately searched out the name of the man from her mind.

She looked at Ding Ning as if looking at an idiot. "You, who has just arrived in the bottom level of the second realm, actually said that you would kill a pract.i.tioner who has reached the top level of the third realm?"

Ding Ning said softly and smoothly, "There is no difference between pract.i.tioners under the fourth realm."

"No difference under the fourth realm?"

Lightsnow's eyes were filled with hatred. She glanced at Ding Ning coldly, "You still say that you are not that man's disciple? Only he dared to give such bold comments. But if you really think so, you will only die."

Ding Ning was silent for a moment and said: "I will try my best to take care of myself, but if I haven't returned here by midnight, you can find a way to leave Changling by yourself."

Lightsnow turned away from him and said coldly, "Don't worry, I'm not that stupid, staying and die with you."

She said this sentence very heartlessly, but Ding Ning looked at her and smiled slightly.

He knew better than most people in the world that some people seem to be sentient, but in fact they are heartless, while others seem heartless, but they are actually very compa.s.sionate.
