My Cold and Elegant CEO Wife

While Qingfeng Li walked toward the ruins, the sword energy continued launching forceful attacks at him.

Like a swimming fish, Qingfeng Li dodged all the attacks.

"Uncle Nie, are you in there?" Qingfeng Li called to the ruins.

No one answered him except the sweeping sword energy.

"Is it possible that Uncle Nie is not here?" Qingfeng Li murmured with a frown.

The last time Qingfeng Li came to the Forbidden District of Kunlun Mountain, he had met his Uncle Nie, who was studying sword arts with his master, the ancient Sword Saint. Qingfeng Li wondered why he was not here.

Frowning, Qingfeng Li continued forward. The sword energy formed sharp daggers sweeping in the air, shattering everything around him.

It got more intense when he walked further. Despite his fast speed, Qingfeng Li was wounded by the sword energy, which cut through his clothes and left a slash in his body.

But Qingfeng Li had cultivated the Mortal Purgatory Body, which provided him with powerful healing abilities. Thus, the sword wounds quickly healed themselves.

After one hour of walking, Qingfeng Li saw a pond.

His eyes snapped into focus and realized that it wasn’t actualy a pond of water, but a pond of sword energy. A vast amount of sweeping sword energy filled the pit.

In the pond stood a handsome middle-aged man. With a chiseled face and bushy black eyebrows, the man stood there with a sword in his hand, giving off an overwhelming presence which shot up into the sky.

Qingfeng Li was pleased to see that the man in the pond was none other than his Uncle Nie.

Seeming to have sensed his presence, Wushuang Nie turned his head and said, "Qingfeng, how come you are here?"

Qingfeng Li said with a smile, "Uncle Nie, I am here to visit you."

With a smile, Wushuang Nie walked out of the pond and all the sword energy in the pond transformed into a dragon and entered his body.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. He asked, "Uncle Nie, you became a Sword Emperor?"

Smiling, Uncle Nie nodded, "Yes. I have gotten the inheritance of the sword saint and have reached the Sword Emperor Realm."

Qingfeng Li said happily, "Congratulations, Uncle Nie."

"Qingfeng, why are you here in the Forbidden District of the Kunlun Mountains?" Wushuang Nie asked, bafflement in his voice.

"Uncle Nie, I am here to search for the Saint Perishing Fruit," Qingfeng explained.

Wushuang Nie’s expression changed sharply at Qingfeng Li’s words. He had been living in the ruins of the Kunlun Mountains and had inherited the sword arts of the Sword Saint, so he naturally knew what Hell was like. It was a dangerous place with ancient almighty ferocious beasts. No one could come out of there unscathed, even him.

Besides, there were fierce ghosts and the Acheron River under the third layer of Hell.

Wushuang Nie tried to dissuade him, "Qingfeng, you can’t go in there. Hell is very dangerous, and no one can come out alive."

Qingfeng just smiled, saying, "Uncle Nie, I just came out of Hell with the Saint Perishing Fruit."

"You came out alive?!" Wushuang Ni was a little stunned actually.

A short while ago, in the sky above Hell, some shadows of ancient fierce beasts and ancient immortals fought each other in the River of Time that surrounded Hell’s entrance.

Wushuang Nie thought about checking it out, but before he was near them, he was bounced back by the space-time force released from the River of Time.

He wondered how Qingfeng Li entered Hell and acquired the Perish Immortal Fruit while he himself couldn’t even get near it.

Seeing the puzzlement in Wushuang Nie’s eyes, Qingfeng Li smiled and told him how he got Saint Perishing Fruit.

Hearing Qingfeng Li’s story, Wushuang Nie sighed with appreciation that the pupil had surpassed the teacher.

He had not expected Qingfeng Li to achieve something that he couldn’t even do himself.

"Qingfeng, how are you doing with your sword techniques? Try them on me." Wushuang Nie said.

He had reached Sword Emperor Realm which was also the Spirit Emperor Realm, and it was hard to find someone to test his sword techniques agaisnt here in the ruins of the Forbidden District of the Kunlun Mountains. Very few beings visited this place, other than demon beasts.

Qingfeng Li nodded and drew out his Fire Emperor Sword, saying, "Uncle Nie, you can attack first."

"Little brat, you belittle your uncle by asking me to attack first. Well, I will see how powerful you are now," Wushuang Nie teased him.

He drew out a blue sword with a width of two and a half fingers and a length of one meter. On the surface of the sword was engraved some patterns of grass and foliage.

They were not enscriptions of ordinary green grass but actually were of spirit grass containing unrivaled sword energy. The sword aura shooting out of it could pierce the sky and shake the world.

Wushuang Nie slashed his sword forward and shot a piece of sword energy grass which multiplied to two pieces, then three, then ten pieces, eventually reaching hundreds of pieces that surrounded Qingfeng and attacked him from all directions.

With a faint smile, Qingfeng Li swung his sword, forming a blazing elephant several kilometers in height. The elephant stepped downward hard and shattered all the sword energy grass.

"Uncle Nie, my sword techniques are not too bad, right?" Qingfeng Li said.

Smiling slightly, Wushuang Nie didn’t answer.

The next moment, the shattered sword energy grass appeared again, but bigger in size. They grew from dozens of centimeters, to several meters, to a dozen meters, and finally to over one hundred meters high, surrounding Qingfeng Li once again.

Qingfeng Li’s expression changed, saying, "That’s impossible. I just shattered them."

Qingfeng Li launched another attack at the sword energy grass. But this time, he couldn’t break the grass because they were extremely hard.

For the first time Qingfeng Li’s expression changed. He felt he had entered the world of sword energy.

All around him, everything was formed by sword energy, including the grass, flowers, rocks, mountains, rivers, and even the air. The sun and the earth underneath him also appeared to be formed by sword energy.

Standing in the center of the sword energy, his clothes were cut open, his arms, legs and all other places were wounded, and blood began to ooze from the wounds. His face turned pale with pain.
