Chapter 1195

Liu Hui raises grey rock moon. It turns anything it strikes to stone, aperture included, and Golden Dawn Hall calls Elder Liu Hui’s move truly troublesome. Xue Wu Hen’s expression changes under the grey moonlight. He wraps himself in regenerating ice and frost that blocks it from reaching him. ^{ch. 1195}

Xue Wu Hen charges the immobilized Liu Hui and buries him under a wave of snow and frost. Xue Wu Hen wins. Liu Hui dies. It is his third straight win, after two he could not kill. The immortals judge the nameless fighter truly rank seven strength on rank six cultivation. They say three straight wins will spread his name through the Gu Immortal world. ^{ch. 1195}

Ye Lui Hui Hong consoles Ye Lui Xiao Jin, whose arm is frozen from his loss to Xue Wu Hen, saying the loss was not his fault but a stronger opponent. He sighs inwardly that the shame will only make him try harder, his future achievements perhaps surpassing them. His head stays lowered; he does not seem to hear. ^{ch. 1195}

Nian Er Ping Zhi wants to fight next. Nian Er Yi Fang tells him Xue Wu Hen is too weakened by injury: killing him would be nothing extraordinary, but failing would weaken Ping Zhi’s prestige. Chu Du withdraws Xue Wu Hen. Nian Er Ping Zhi snorts he will win at least six battles and asks Gong Wan Ting for leave to fight. Her frown eases a little: three straight losses have harmed the righteous path’s reputation and her own prestige, and she cannot refuse Nian Er tribe’s current generation Sword Child. ^{ch. 1195}

He takes the stage shouting for whoever wants to die. Chu Du’s side goes quiet, aware of his outstanding, extremely savage reputation from Iron Eagle blessed land, where he killed multiple Gu Immortals and even Old Monster Corpse Poison could do nothing against him. He is the current inheritor of Sword Saint Nian Er’s true inheritance. ^{ch. 1195}

Xue Wu Hen offers to fight again. Chu Du sees how much of his aperture Liu Hui’s immortal killer move has turned to stone, and refuses. He sends Granny Yin, a rank seven demonic Gu Immortal. The righteous side calls Chu Du shameless for matching a rank six against a higher rank expert. ^{ch. 1195}

Nian Er Yi Fang, anxious, orders his charge called back. If Nian Er Ping Zhi dies here, he will have greatly neglected the duty of guarding the tribe’s heavily nurtured star. Nian Er Ping Zhi ignores the order and charges Granny Yin as a sword light. ^{ch. 1195}

At Snowy Mountain’s first peak, Lady Wan Shou tells Ma Hong Yun to thank her, since his cultivation nears rank five. She sends lightning into him despite his pleas to be let go. He screams through it until it dissipates. Gloomy that he has failed again, she slaps him hard enough to knock him out. ^{ch. 1195}

In Central Continent’s Spirit Affinity House, Zhao Lian Yun endures heavy rain, nearly unconscious. She holds on by will alone. She has little understanding of Gu Immortals, and believes this her only way to save Ma Hong Yun. Li Jun Ying calls her somewhat foolish, and Xu Hao admits her persistence past ten days surprised him. Li Jun Ying asks whether Feng Jin Huang might counter-scheme: save Ma Hong Yun if Zhao Lian Yun withdraws. Xu Hao smiles that Feng Jin Huang’s nature would never allow it, and adds that both women are young. ^{ch. 1195}

In a dream at Southern Border, Fang Yuan screams in pain. Big Beard heals him with a Gu worm, saying the pain is the price of not kneeling. Fang Yuan retorts that a man kneels only to his parents and to heaven and earth, and will not kneel to anyone’s order even if it kills him. Big Beard turns moody, calling him someone who does not cherish his life, the healing wasted. Fang Yuan snaps back that he never asked to be healed, walks out unaided, and collapses unconscious. He wakes inside the tent, where Big Beard says he is still too young and has healed only half his injuries, leaving the rest as a lesson. Fang Yuan thanks him but insists this was never about being young: it is a matter of principle. ^{ch. 1195}
