Starting My Cultivation With Time Management

Chapter 1027: Chapter 21: First Give You a Blade

Chen Guanshui was dragged into the lake and inadvertently swallowed a few mouthfuls of lake water.

He quickly curled his body, breaking the grip on his ankle, but soon received another punch to the face.

This punch was indeed heavy and powerful, causing Chen Guanshui to see stars and his whole body to be pushed backward by the force—there was no actual injury, but the pain was real.

“Are you crazy!” Chen Guanshui barely steadied himself and yelled in the water.

Through a series of frantically bubbling currents, his voice managed to carry through.

An Zhisu was still paddling with her limbs like a mermaid, swimming towards him, her eyes seemingly ablaze with a certain angry, persistent fire:

“Ling Yunpo!”

Chen Guanshui was startled, quickly swimming upwards to the lake surface, trying to distance himself from her again, but he said:

“Who is Ling Yunpo?”

“Stop pretending, I know it’s you!” An Zhisu said through gritted teeth, “Who else but you would hold no killing intent towards me?”

Upon hearing this, Chen Guanshui paused, cursing internally.

No matter how well calculated, he hadn’t anticipated this!

To be aware, An Zhisu’s attack just now was so fast that he instinctively thought she was trying to kill him, so he didn’t have time for deep reflection, having only defended in a panic and then fled.

But this escape created the issue—after all, in this world, what cultivator would just take hits without retaliating?

Even a rabbit, if you strangled its throat, would bite you!

An Zhisu attacked fiercely to test him, yet discovered this stranger not only didn’t counterattack with killing blows but also held no killing intent at all—what did this indicate?

If it wasn’t with someone extraordinarily close, how could there be such a reaction?!!!

Thinking of this, Chen Guanshui also wished to slap himself, even more, hating Senior Sister An for being so shameless, actually using their relationship as a test.

However, he still stubbornly said:

“Don’t push it, I merely couldn’t bear to harm such a young and beautiful person as you.”

“Couldn’t bear to harm, huh.” An Zhisu saw he was still making excuses, and suddenly laughed bitterly, her expression increasingly poignant and desolate, “Nonsense… ”

“If you’re not Ling Yunpo, I’ve already struck, so you could just kill me then.”

As she spoke the latter part, she suddenly shouted angrily:

“Say ‘couldn’t bear’ again, and your life will be forfeit!”

Before her voice fell, the Harsh Cold Sword and the Flying Smoke Sword simultaneously flared with brilliance, with sword dao techniques surging towards Chen Guanshui like tidal waves.

Seeing that she was indeed serious, Chen Guanshui suddenly felt a surge of anger and had thoughts of cruelly crushing her…

No, still can’t do it!

The bits and pieces of the past with Senior Sister flooded his mind, and any intention to kill vanished without a trace.

Knowing he definitely could not deal a heavy blow to An Zhisu, Chen Guanshui dared not linger any longer, hurriedly controlling his sword to dodge the attack, escaping with all his might.

An Zhisu pursued relentlessly, and Chen Guanshui fled frantically, heading towards the underwater entrance of the Mirror Lake Divine Palace.

The entrance was initially guarded by Thunder Method restrictions but was later removed by Wei Dongliu’s party, allowing the two to enter the Mirror Lake Divine Palace unharmed.

Sword light pierced through the water membrane and corridor, revealing at the end a giant mirror, standing close against the wall.

During sword control, Chen Guanshui glanced and saw his reflection in the mirror, still the ever-changing faceless man’s form.

What’s going on? In the past, when I multi-boxed, you said I had no face, which was fine; now I am performing with true color, yet still this faceless figure?

His heart was in turmoil but quickly gained some vague realization:

Wearing a mask for too long becomes ingrained in the flesh, not something you can easily tear off.

No relation to An Zhisu, yet why couldn’t he harm her? Wasn’t it because the mask named Ling Yunpo was at work!

An Zhisu swept past, quickly glancing at the mirror, seeing her mirrored self actually clad in tattered clothes, covered in scales and wounds, with many still bleeding profusely.

But the reflection’s hand still gripped a sword, just tenaciously defiant as it gazed back at her through the mirror.

“…What evil technique have you used on me?” An Zhisu shouted, confirming she had no actual wounds.

“Not any evil technique.” Flying ahead, Chen Guanshui surprisingly responded, “How long will you chase me?”

“Ling Yunpo! If you don’t run, I won’t chase!” An Zhisu grew increasingly furious.

“Enough is enough!” Chen Guanshui rushed into the hall, finding at the front indeed stood the projection of An Zhisu produced by the mirror.

The other was also clad in tatters, drenched in blood, but with some kind of corrupted smile, she smiled at Chen Guanshui and An Zhisu as they rushed in:

“Good, good, good, you came! The man is faithless and heartless, the woman has blind ignorance, why not kill them both for satisfaction!”

With these words just spoken, she abruptly turned into sword light, directly achieving Man-Sword Unity, the sword light expanding tens of feet, savagely striking towards Chen Guanshui.

Be mindful that this mirror projection often has strength above its body counterpart, thus the sword light’s grandeur and robustness were almost approaching the late Nascent Soul Realm.

Despite this, what is there to fear?

Chen Guanshui coldly chuckled in his heart, even though he couldn’t kill An Zhisu, he held no affection towards this projection, and was about to suppress it with thunderous force, then continue to escape, only to see a sword light surpassing from behind, unexpectedly was Senior Sister An achieving Man-Sword Unity as well, transforming into a majestic sword light and blocking ahead of him.
