"That would be much better than destroying the Jiuli Mingxu Sword directly." Gongye Mingzhi said disapprovingly.
Seeing how stubborn he was, Gu Qingxi was helpless.
But she also knew that Gongye Mingzhi was not to blame for this matter. Unless she is as majestic and decisive as Chi Wanqiu, or knows her details like Kongfeng Xiantian, who would believe that she has the ability to repair the Jiuli Mingxu Sword?
For Gongye Mingzhi, one more day counts. Even if it really can't be delayed, the Gongye family can make some preparations in advance and try their best to preserve some blood for the family after the secret realm is exposed.
And if the Jiuli Mingxu Sword is destroyed in her hands now, the Gongye clan will be completely destroyed.
Chi Wanqiu raised his eyebrows slightly and slowly grasped the hilt of the sword.
Compared to Gu Qingxi, she knew Gongye Mingzhi better. One look at this posture, and she knew that it was impossible to convince the old man today.
However, although Gongye Mingzhi's cultivation was not as good as hers, he was still in the early stages of integration, but he was still a level higher than Gu Qingxi. If he was determined to stop him, Gu Qingxi would have no chance to take action.
The only way is to strike first and restrain Gongye Mingzhi.
Although doing this was suspected of disrespecting the elders and would be criticized if word spread, she could not care so much for the sake of Jiuli Mingxu Realm, the Gongye clan, and her husband's instructions before his death.
"Boom!" Just when Chi Wanqiu was about to take action, a muffled sound suddenly sounded in his ears, and the entire Sword Spirit Palace shook.
Amid the violent vibrations, the space seemed to begin to distort, and everyone was shaken to and fro.
Without waiting to stabilize their bodies, Chi Wanqiu and others subconsciously looked at Jiuli Mingxu Sword. The next moment, their expressions changed at the same time.
On the simple and clumsy sword, thin cracks spread like spider webs, and a faint cracking sound can be heard.
"Not good!" Chi Wanqiu and Gongye Mingzhi exclaimed in unison.
Gu Qingxi was also shocked. He thought that this fairy sword could last for at least a few more decades, but looking at this situation, he was afraid that it would be completely broken in the next moment.
What's going on? Why did the Jiuli Mingxu Sword suddenly break?
Before Gu Qingxi could figure it out, Gongye Mingzhi had already turned around, rushed to the Jiuli Mingxu Sword, and quickly fired the spell.
A dazzling blood spread out from his body, burning like a flame. The flames swayed, forming bloody runes, flying towards the Jiuli Mingxu Sword.
This is the art of blood vessels using blood as a medium.
Not long after, the cracked sword was covered with bloody runes, which looked like they were carved with cinnabar.
The cracks stopped spreading and the crackling sound stopped.
Gongye Mingzhi breathed a sigh of relief, but did not stop, but continued to perform the spell. Around the body, bloody flames continued to burn.
In just a moment, his forehead was covered with fine sweat, and his originally clear and healthy face was covered with a layer of blackness. His whole person seemed to have aged by dozens of years.
"Supreme Elder, you can stop." Chi Wanqiu shouted anxiously.
Although she hated Gongye Mingzhi's stubbornness, she couldn't help but be moved when she saw this scene.
"The damage to the Jiuli Mingxu Sword is too heavy, and I can't last long like this. Anyway, I don't have much time left, and my death will be in vain when the time comes. It's better to do my last bit for the family." Gongye Mingzhi, however, did not want to do this. Unmoved, he still continued to play spells.
As the essence and blood burned and the vitality continued to disappear, the blackness on his face became a little thicker, and even his eyes showed a bit of emptiness.
"Sir, I'm still young, let me do it." Upon seeing this, Chi Wanqiu felt a sting in his heart.
"Wan Qiu, I know you are also thinking about the Nine Li Mingxu Realm. I was too impatient and spoke inappropriately before, so don't take it to heart.
Jiuli City and the Gongye clan will be left to you to protect. If one day we really can't defend it, I can't blame you. As long as we can save some blood for the Gongye clan. "Gongye Mingzhi said as if he hadn't heard anything, minding his own business.
The voice became smaller and smaller, the eyes became more and more hollow, and in the end, even the body began to shake.
It was obvious that he was determined to completely burn his essence and blood and exhaust his life force just like Gongye Chenfeng. Looking at Gongye Mingzhi's old and haggard face, Chi Wanqiu couldn't help but recall the scene before her husband died, and her heart felt as painful as a knife.
Seeing this scene, even Gu Qingxi couldn't help but be moved and admired by it.
No matter how extreme and stubborn Gongye Mingzhi's temperament is, everything he does is for the survival of the family.
From ancient times to the present, countless powerful people have emerged in the world of cultivation. Many people are willing to give up their relatives, friends, and everything in the world in order to improve their cultivation. But there are not many people who can sacrifice their lives for the survival of their family like him.
Gu Qingxi wanted to help him, but once the blood weapon technique was used, no one could interfere, and neither could she.
And if Gongye Mingzhi is forcibly prevented from continuing to perform the technique at this time, not only will the Jiuli Mingxu Sword be destroyed, but his own spiritual power will be reversed and his cultivation will be completely destroyed, and his life will most likely not be saved.
The essence and blood are still burning, and the life force is still disappearing. The bloody seal on the Jiuli Mingxu Sword is getting stronger and stronger.
Gongye Mingzhi's originally celestial figure began to become rickety, but a happy smile appeared on his haggard face.
"Boom!" At this moment, a powerful force suddenly spurted out from the Jiuli Mingxu Sword.
In just an instant, the seal formed by the bloody runes on the sword was shattered.
The remaining power of that force was not exhausted yet, and it rushed towards Gongye Mingzhi again.
Gongye Mingzhi was almost on the verge of running out of gas, and he was completely defenseless. How could he withstand this force?
With a muffled groan, Gongye Mingzhi flew out backwards, hit the wall hard, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Elder Supreme!" Chi Wanqiu and Gongye Ruoyun shouted and rushed towards Gongye Mingzhi.
But as soon as they started to move, Gongye Mingzhi stood up, stumbled a few steps forward, gritted his teeth and played the magic formula again.
In order to perform the art of blood vessels, he almost risked his life, but in the end he failed in his efforts. No matter what, he couldn't accept such a result.
Desperately burning his blood and essence, his already empty eyes turned red.
The bloody flames on his body burned, and runes flew towards Jiuli Mingxu Sword again.
But this time, his efforts were destined to be in vain.
On the Jiuli Mingxu Sword, cracks spread rapidly, and the power flowed like a tide. Before the bloody runes were imprinted on the sword, it was shattered into pieces and turned into nothingness.
"It's over, it's completely over." Gongye Mingzhi slumped on the ground helplessly, with muddy tears streaming from his eyes.
Only then did he realize that he had thought of things too simply.
We forget that the art of blood vessels also depends on talent, not everyone can use it freely. Even though he was determined to die and burned his essence and blood at the risk of his life, he was still unable to strengthen the Jiuli Mingxu Sword again with the blood weapon technique like Gongye Chenfeng did.
"Let's go, let's go! Go back and gather the clan members. Once the barrier is broken and the secret realm is exposed, they will immediately disperse and leave. From now on, they will remain anonymous and will no longer be able to practice the art of weapon refining." The matter has come to this, and there is no point in persisting. Besides, with him The situation at this time can no longer persist. Gongye Mingzhi cheered up and shouted to Chi Wanqiu.
Looking at this situation, the Jiuli Mingxu Sword must not be saved. When the barrier is broken and the secret realm reappears, the Gongye clan will surely be destroyed.
The only way to preserve some blood for the family is to leave as soon as possible.
While shouting, Gongye Mingzhi struggled to get up and ran toward the stone stairs with a choking sound. But he had already reached the edge of the stone staircase, but there was no movement behind him.
"Why are you still standing there, let's go!" Gongye Mingzhi was angry and anxious, and turned to Chi Wanqiu again and shouted.
After shouting, I realized that Chi Wanqiu was looking in the direction of Jiuli Mingxu Sword, with a look of astonishment on his face. Next to him, Gongye Ruoyun opened his mouth in confusion and looked like he had seen a ghost.
Gongye Mingzhi followed their gazes, and then his eyes widened suddenly, filled with shock and even horror.
A graceful and graceful figure came to the front of the Jiuli Mingxu Sword at some unknown time. The fire in her hand was swaying, like the joyful dance of the fire spirit.
The spiritual crystals melted quickly under the weapon fire and turned into crystal light, flowing from the nine-lumen virtual sword.
Mysterious and brilliant runes flickered, and the small cracks on the sword began to slowly repair.
She, she can actually repair the Jiuli Mingxu Sword, how is this possible? Gongye Mingzhi was so surprised that he could hardly believe his eyes.
