Chapter 28 (2/2)

A blood-tainted tree branch penetrated his back and directly pierced through his heartThere were even some small lumps of flesh at its tip — those pieces were his heart!

Huo Xijing’s eyes popped outHe was still wearing the face of Bian Yanmei’s servant, and because it had turned stiff, the scene was particularly creepy to look atAs if he couldn’t believe he would die like this himself, he tried to turn around and relob of blood spouted out from his mouth as soon as he movedHe fell forward, then became still

Huo Xijing, the living devil in people’s eyes who had done all the evil deeds he possibly could, ended up ement at this place

It al that fact — his eyes ide open as if he was still putting up a struggle in the other world

Shen Qiao had just killed a person, but there was no trace of pleasure on his faceHe supported himself with the tree on his side and sat down slowly, not even casting a glance to the fight between Yan Wushi+ and Yuan XiuxiuClosing his eyes to rest, he unconsciously fell asleep

……

In the eyes of an outsider, the reason Yuan Xiuxiu was able to become the sect master was none other than her practice of sexual cultivation — where she ood use of her beauty — in addition to her affair with Sang JingxingAs the disciple of Cui Youwang, the latter man supported and helped her secure the position of sectonly as an elder in the Harmony Sect

However, for all those people who thought this way, had they had the chance to fight against Yuan Xiuxiu the they had been

There was no way this woman could have become the sect master of the Harmony Sect, where powerful martial artists as ainst each other, if all she had was her relationshi+p with a man

It was just that Yuan Xiuxiu illing to come out as the weak and delicate oneSo she never corrected their mistakes but instead used it to deceive her enemies

It was ru and it was through his support which made her the sect master, but Yan Wushi+ knew that in

that in reality, the situation in the Har Jingxing were only on the sa Jingxing asked Huo Xijing to go find Bian Yanmei, he definitely didn’t inform Yuan Xiuxiu about itTherefore, it was no surprise when Yuan Xiuxiu only answered lukewar’s cry for help

Yan Wushi+ fought with her ten years agoEven though he was able to gain an upper hand at that time, it was only by a littleNow after ten years, his reatly increased, but it was unlikely that Yuan Xiuxiu’s had stayed the same

The Harmony Sect also practiced The Fundamental Records of Phoenix-QilinIt was true that Yuan Xiuxiu’s progress was not coe, but she had at least reached the tenth stageNot to rated, the Har the Book of Harmony [2]It recorded the sex cultivation technique, and it was also where they had taken their sect name fromHowever, only a fe that the Book of Harmony contained not only sexual techniques but also Meditation Ways for cultivating inner qi, sword arts, etc

Yuan Xiuxiu’s weapon was a pair of swords, which was inspired by a set of two-person sword arts in the Book of Harinally, this set of martial arts required a man and a woman to cooperate and use their swords to keep off the enemies, but Yuan Xiuxiu deliberately did the opposite and practiced both sets of sword arts herself

Such a woman was clearly not easy to deal with

Yuan Xiuxiu didn’t dare to act carelessly when facing Yan Wushi+She brought the tenth stage of the Fundamentals of Phoenix-Qilin to its full extentHer tords had nearly turned into two rays of black light, appearing to engulf everything in the worldThe stor out of waterIt grew by leaps and bounds, and soon, not even a single cloud could be seenThe sky had lost all of its light, and even Yan Wushi+ rapped inside the storm!

Bian Yanmei couldn’t even make out their movesAt this moment, he finally realized how self-centered he wasHe once flaunted himself as a first-rate expert, while in fact, there was yet another tier above itIf he didn’t work hard, he randmaster before he died

Black snow filled the sky, like an ar people’s ears with the sonorous, endless shouting of the hundreds of soldiers

Bian Yanmei almost couldn’t keep himself stable amidst Yuan Xiuxiu’s inner qi and had to use his own inner qi to block itAs he retreated, he remembered how he had also attributed Yuan Xiuxiu’s achievement to her beauty and the man behind herYet henceforth, he dared not think like that again

There weren’t ainst Yan Wushi+ head-to-head without showing any disadvantages

However, a person’s bitterness was only known to themselvesIn the battle circle herself, Yuan Xiuxiu was not as relaxed as Bian Yanht she was

She had already brought her inner qi to the fullest extentThe swords in her hand were shi+fting frouresThey left her hand and charged about, taking their shapes at whichever place she wishedBut there seemed to be an invisible attractive force around Yan Wushi+ which none of her attacks were able to break throughIn fact, her pair of swords even showed a faint sigh of being sucked in by it

She retrieved her pair of swords after seeing the feather-light palm that Yan Wushi+ struck at herHowever, the other person actually avoided the seely invulnerable screen she put up with her swords and appeared before her in an instantFrowning, Yuan Xiuxiu had no other choice but to take it with her fair, delicate hand

Their palms clashed, and amidst the explosive rumble, the screen suddenly disappearedYuan Xiuxiu quickly retreated, her figure floating backwards like a kite, swaying and undulating in the wind like a rootless duckweed in waterAfter about ten steps, her feet were once again firround

S had happened, she said, “Sure Yan-lang didn’t let this ten-year Meditation go into waste, I was halfway to death during the fightMy little heart is still thu so badly now!”

Yan Wushi+ stood where he washe wasHe had no plan to hunt her downOf course, if he really wanted to kill Yuan Xiuxiu, he would be able to do soYet the fight would then becole, and he would have to pay a price himselfBesides, the death of Yuan Xiuxiu would benefit the other people in the Har Moon Sect

Yuan Xiuxiu clearly knew it too, so she was not in a hurry to leave

She glanced at Huo Xijing’s dead body, and only then did her expression finally change“People should check with its owner even before beating a dogHuo Xijing holds a relatively high position in our sect, yet Yan-lang’s man killed him just like that?”

Though he wasn’t the one who killed Huo Xijing, since Yan Wushi+ was here, Bian Yan killed my servant, does he not deserve to die? Over these years, the Har Moon Sect disciplesSect Master Yuan, why don’t we clear all our debts together?”

However, Yuan Xiuxiu actually pulled a s by the way you said it, you must not be the one who killed him”

This woed in no time, and she acted immediately upon her instinctsOne second she was still s all sweet, and in the next second, with her half-finished sentence, she had already flashed next to Shen Qiao, reaching for his neck!

Shen Qiao was really too tired, so tired that he ended up falling asleep under the tree after he killed Huo Xijing

But as a martial artist, he still kept his intuition and awareness of dangerHe had already sensed it as soon as Yuan Xiuxiu came at himA normal person usually opened their eyes first and would only react after they found out about the situation, but Shen Qiao irabbed onto the tree behind him even before he opened his eyesHe moved behind it and used its trunk as cover

In just the blink of an eye, a scratch mark appeared on the trunk!

It was not left by Yuan Xiuxiu’s hand, but by her inner qiClearly, if Shen Qiao was late by half a second, this mark would have appeared on his neck instead of the tree

Even though Shen Qiao was able to dodge the first one, he couldn’t dodge the secondBefore he could catch his breath, Yuan Xiuxiu’s second palm was already there

Shen Qiao had already lost his bah time for him to escapeHe had to block it with his handsHowever, he only had half of his h to handle an ordinary expert, but when facing a grandmaster-level martial artist like Yuan Xiuxiu, the odds were close to none

The moment they came into contact with each other, Shen Qiao immediately retreated several stepsIt wasn’t until the fifth step when his back bumped into a tree did he finally stopHis face was deathly pale, as he ulp of blood with much difficulty

However, that was already well beyond Yuan Xiuxiu’s expectationsNowas, he was still a disciple of the Harmony SectAs the sect leader, she had to stand up for hih to finish Shen Qiao, but to her surprise, the other person was actually able to take one of them head-on

When the third one came, Shen Qiao already had no place to retreatHe could only close his eyes and wait for his death

Yan Wushi+ could have stopped Yuan Xiuxiu when she made her first move, but he decided to look on with a cold eyeHence, Shen Qiao didn’t think there would be an exception this time

Shen Qiao shtly frowned and reacted extreo of the bamboo stickWith another perforreat distance away from his previous locationIt was called Shadow shi+fter , but frankly speaking, it was just a brilliant lightness skillWithin a second after Shen Qiao withdrew his hand, the ba rapidly towards him If he had pulled his hand back just a little later, he would have ended up just like that stickThe bamboo stick was destroyed in a moment, but Shen Qiao s movement had not stopped at allFast and swift like the wind, he quickly retreated to the tree he was originally standing under and raised his sleeves at the saht at hiround as if they had run into some sort of invisible barrierWas I so cut off froilistic circle Along with the fragrant breeze and a streaShe was extremely beautiful, her white dress and silk belt rustled and danced in the wind like an i dynasty s paintingsOnly her eyes weren t as coldOn the contrary, they were glistening and alluring even her voice was so delicate and sweet to its core that one could al itWhen Bian Yan bewitched, he beca on the ground spewing bloodHe thought his doom was near, but then he suddenly saw this wo in the exact opposite of Bian Yan to killhich could save his life, he wished he could throw hih as he weptFortunately, he was still able to keep the last of his senses and restrained hi such an action, and he continued to cry for help only with his lance across Shen Qiao and Bian Yanreeted hi 1It s hard to iine how ten years have passed so fast, yet you are still as handsoraceful as everYou have really won me over Yan Wushi+ didn t replyIt was Bian Yan by the way Sect Master Yuan speaks, are you going to just pretend that it never happened Yuan Xiuxiu s eyes wandered about as she ss to our Har s order and has nothing to do with meThe reason that I came today is to discuss an important matter with Sect Master YanIf Sect Master Yan coht as well leave hihastlyBian Yanmei sneered, Aren t Sect Master Yuan s words a little too heartless They say, once a lover, always a loverNohas a rather deep relationshi+p with you, and hence there is some sort of kinshi+p between you and his disciple as wellIf news gets out that you don t even care about his life or death, it ll probably disappoint your other disciples Yuan Xiuxiu didn t even turn a hair If other people wanted his life, of course I wouldn t let the wants it, I must of course do you this favor She looked at Yan Wushi+There seemed to be endless tenderness and affection in her eyesWe haven t seen each other for ten years, do you really not wish to talk to ht have believed that there was some kind of history between the Moon Sect were of the sain, so he was very aware that every word this woman spoke, and even every expression of hers, carried Enchant about it, whenever he heard her voice or saw her smile, Bian Yanmei would still be ravished and affected by itThus he could only force himself to not lookYan Wushi+ finally said, There s so, said Yuan Xiuxiu, her eyes sIf you want to dress up like a fairy, then don t put on such a licentious lookIt may ith other men, but it only makes me sickIt would be better if you can cover your face too next time so as to not spoil my appetiteBian Yanmei and Shen Qiao Yuan Xiuxiu Bian YanhYuan Xiuxiu s face turned livid froh he was already a dead manHowever, only ais rightI ll changeyou like if only it makes you happyYan Wushi+ raised his browsIt s been ten years, but you haven t changed at allYou re still as hypocritical as everPretending to not have heard it, Yuan Xiuxiu suggested softly, Can we find a quiet place so I can tell you everything in detail You know I can only stay patient for so longYan lang, you ve really got a heart of steelI wonder what kind of woman it takes to attract youBack then, I tried every possible way to entice you, but you still didn t agree to spend a night with ht I was unattractive toknows that Zhou intends to start a war against Qi So what Yuan Xiuxiu continued, When the Sun Moon Sect was still far famed, no one had even heard about sects like the Linchuan InstituteNowadays, like how a er is away, it s all because our Sun Moon Sect has fallen apartSo they took advantage of it and ca Moon Sect and the Harether, how can the old bald donkey Xueting and that old pedant Ruyan Kehui be our match Yan Wushi+ made no commentYuan Xiuxiu was confident that her Enchantment would be irresistible to anyone else, but when she was facing Yan Wushi+, who not only had strong martial power but was also from the Demonic Sect, no matter how brilliant her Enchantrow inside her, but her expression was still and just as adorable as before If Yan lang agrees to convince the E to do anything for you Then surrenderStartled, Yuan Xiuxiu slipped out a What Yan Wushi+ explained, Didn t you just say you illing to do anything If you can re Moon Sect, then I can convince the Emperor of Zhou to not attack QiThe s, why do you have to be so aggressive The Linchuan Institute is looking beyond seeing a war between Zhou and QiIf that happens, ould just be letting the Southern Chen have the advantage at no costIf you agree to convince the Emperor of Zhou to stop, I ll try to persuade the E Prefecture and Shuo Prefecture to ZhouHow does that sound To the north of Heng Prefecture and Shuo Prefecture is the Great WallIf I remember correctly, that area borders Tujue s territoryYuan Xiuxiu smiled, Don t tell me that the Ee piece of land Qi is but a fly in the hy should the E and covet this petite benefit He really took his tiumentTill this point, Yuan Xiuxiu finally understood that Yan Wushi+ had no intention to cooperate with the Har with herThe s, I didn t think you would still be so arrogant after so longYou were injured by Cui Youwang ten years agoDo you really think that now, after Cui Youwang s death, you re already the best in the world I don t know if I m the best in the world, but I m better than you at leastSoeA is, why didn t he replace you but instead resigned hiled, You think it s strange Then why not give it a try yourself Or maybe you re the kind that only kno to talk but is all show in bed She was obviously enraged by Yan Wushi+Before her voice faded, her sleeves had already puffed upA dozen or so thin, transparent needles darted towards Yan Wushi+ and Shen Qiao They traveled even faster than the gale in a storm and were almost invisible to the naked eye Yuan Xiuxiu didn t think she could injure Yan Wushi+ with these needlesMeanwhile, she herself swung into the air like an spectre, and a pair of black swords had already appeared in her handsThe light covering the swords brightened, blocking Yan Wushi+ froht Admittedly, the Harmony Sect was known for their Enchantment and sexual cultivation, but as the sect th should never be looked down uponA the contemporary Top Ten martial artists, simply because she was a woman and seldomly displayed her skills in front of others, she was ranked only second to lastHowever, froainst Yan Wushi+ alone, it was very clear that her actual strength was htWith Yan Wushi+ s current level of e a dozen or so e was already enough evidence of how greatly Yuan Xiuxiu was underestirandmastersBian Yanmei knew there was no room for him to interfere, but he didn t want to let such an opportunity out of his grasp for him to observe and studyDazzled by its brilliance, he was entirely absorbed in the fight to the point of al that it was an opportunity hard to coardless of his serious injuryHowever, as soon as he applied his lightness skill and before he could evenbehind hie it, it was already too lateA light chill spread itself out on his back, and he looked down subconsciouslyA blood tainted tree branch penetrated his back and directly pierced through his heartThere were even some small lu s eyes popped outHe was still wearing the face of Bian Yanmei s servant, and because it had turned stiff, the scene was particularly creepy to
