The speed at which the white-robed woman attacked was too fast for Ling Chen to react, and he was already caught by the opponent’s move, completely unable to move.
"Wait, senior, I wasn’t lying!"
Ling Chen hurriedly defended himself, puzzled as to why this woman was so certain he was lying.
Could she be Shen Bingxin?
"Still not being honest?"
The white-robed woman sneered and suddenly tightened her grip, the ribbon-like chilling aura binding Ling Chen’s body.
The astonishing cold seed about to spread over Ling Chen’s face.
"Senior Shen!"
Ling Chen knew that if he didn’t shout now, he might not have another chance. He could only gamble that the person in front of him was Shen Bingxin!
"I have a token to prove it! The Red Sky Sword Saint! You should rember him..."
By the end, Ling Chen couldn’t speak anymore as the chilling aura sealed his mouth, about to freeze him entirely.
As Ling Chen’s faint voice echoed, the white-robed woman’s eyes suddenly narrowed. Even for soone as composed as her, there was a hint of panic in her beautiful eyes, and the frost on Ling Chen’s body receded visibly.
Phew...
As the ice around him receded, Ling Chen exhaled heavily. Had he called out later, he might have really turned into an ice sculpture.
"How do you know the Red Sky Old Ghost?"
The white-robed woman regained her composure, but her tone was not calm, evidently shaken by the news of the Red Sky Sword Saint.
As expected, this white-robed woman was Shen Bingxin.
Ling Chen did not say much, he just drew the Red Sky Sword from his waist and handed it over to her.
Taking the Red Sky Sword from Ling Chen, Shen Bingxin examined it closely. After a short while, her jade-like hands began to tremble slightly, and an uncontainable excitent appeared in her beautiful eyes.
Seeing this, Ling Chen was also quite surprised. It seed that the relationship between Shen Bingxin and the Red Sky Sword Saint was not ordinary.
However, Shen Bingxin seed to notice Ling Chen’s expression, and her face imdiately turned cold again as she tossed the Red Sky Sword back to him.
"How is that old ghost doing now?"
Shen Bingxin snorted coldly, asking almost casually.
Ling Chen smiled wryly. It seed that Shen Bingxin really had not been in contact with the Red Sky Sword Saint for many years. The latter had been gone for so long, yet she was completely unaware?
"He has already passed away."
Ling Chen said truthfully.
"What?"
Shen Bingxin was completely stunned, her arms dropping powerlessly as if she had been dealt a heavy blow.
"Senior Red Sky passed away over a hundred years ago."
Ling Chen shook his head and sighed.
"Has it really been that long..."
Shen Bingxin’s beautiful eyes seed filled with a trace of nostalgia. After a mont, she smiled sadly, "So that old ghost has already left. No wonder, it’s been a hundred years, and he never ca to see even once."
"I thought he had found soone new and forgotten about , but I didn’t expect that he had already passed away."
"Up to the mont Senior Red Sky faded away, he still thought of you, Senior Shen. He never forgot you."
Ling Chen cupped his fists towards Shen Bingxin, "He also specifically instructed that if I encounter difficulties in the future, I should bring this Red Sky Sword to find you on Lingyue Island."
Hearing this, Shen Bingxin nodded slightly, "This Red Sky Sword was his most cherished item. Since he gave it to you, it shows that he sees you as his successor. I’m sure you have learned the Red Sky Sword Technique he created, haven’t you?"
"Yes."
Ling Chen nodded, although the Red Sky Sword Technique was no longer his strongest thod, it had helped him out of many dangerous situations before.
With that said, he demonstrated the moves of the Red Sky Sword Technique one by one.
From the first move, Heavenly Fire Burning Plains, to the ninth move, Red Sky Sword Array, Ling Chen perford the nine moves smoothly and continuously.
Watching Ling Chen intently, a reminiscence appeared on Shen Bingxin’s face. From Ling Chen, she seed to see the shadow of the Red Sky Sword Saint.
The young fellow was showcasing his most proud swordsmanship.
Unfortunately, the sword remains, but the person is gone.
After performing the nine techniques, Ling Chen sheathed his sword and looked at Shen Bingxin. Seeing the slightly dazed look on her face, he couldn’t help but sigh. It seed that the emotional connection between Shen Bingxin and the Red Sky Sword Saint was indeed deep.
Although she said nothing, she was likely very sad at heart.
Cough, cough, cough!
Just as Ling Chen watched silently from the side, Shen Bingxin suddenly began to cough violently, and with her coughing, a visibly red glow erged from her lower abdon. Even her snow-white neck was covered in fiery threads, looking rather alarming.
Blood spurted out, and within that blood, Ling Chen could feel an extrely scorching heat. This scorching aura was completely opposite to Shen Bingxin’s extrely cold cultivation attributes.
"Senior Shen, are you okay!"
Ling Chen hurriedly supported Shen Bingxin, surprised that soone as powerful as her was injured so seriously.
"I’m fine, just an old injury."
Shen Bingxin waved her hand and casually swallowed an ice-blue pill. After a while, her face regained a bit of color.
"This woman is afflicted with Fire Poison, and the poison has accumulated in her body for years, severely damaging her health. Her vitality inside could not sustain her for even a year."
At this mont, the voice of the Human Emperor sounded in Ling Chen’s mind.
"Has it really beco that severe?"
Ling Chen couldn’t help but frown. Fire Poison was an ancient and peculiar toxin, extrely difficult to neutralize. He didn’t expect Shen Bingxin to have been poisoned by such a toxin, and for a considerable period of ti, the Fire Poison had deeply taken root in her body.
"Is there a redy to counteract the Fire Poison?"
Ling Chen couldn’t help but ask.
"In this situation, it’s basically hopeless."
The Human Emperor said indifferently, but then imdiately changed the tone, "However, you hold the Fla Emperor Order, and while others can’t save her, you can."
"The Fla Emperor Order itself is a supre treasure of fire attribute. It naturally restrains the Fire Poison. With its power, you might have a chance to erase this Fire Poison."
"Oh?"
Ling Chen’s eyes lit up slightly. So he could beco Shen Bingxin’s savior after all?
