747 Giving Further Thought and Discussing it Later (1/2)
”No matter what I've done, Ling Meng is ultimately the only woman I, Li You Ran, think highly of!” Li You Ran declared calmly, not backing down at all.
”You still dare to say that? You despicable, shameless hypocrite! I'm going to kill you!” Dugu Xiao Yi yelled angrily and suddenly soared into the air! Her slender body formed a beautiful arc that cut across the air, and with a sudden toss of her sleeves, she brandished a knife that flashed and cut down like a bolt of lightning!
It was like a flash of lighting across azure skies, but surreal like a dream and beautiful like an fantasy, but cold with the intention to kill!
The First Knife of Tian Xiang! Pocket Knives! The first stroke: Pocket Knife Soft Winnowing!
A knife skill that stepped across two worlds! Taught and personally imparted by Jun Mo Xie!
At the sight of such an extraordinary use of the knife, even the three Saints who had vast experiences couldn't hide their surprise! So gorgeous and ethereal, yet also formidable—what a wondrous knife skill! Even with all three of them combined in knowledge and experience, this was something they had never seen before!
Li You Ran did not expect this girl to actually brandish a knife and start killing, so he was in a poor situation! He quickly tilted his head back, and a few strands of hair were cut off and blown away by the wind.
Dugu Xiao Yi had gotten the first strike in one stroke, so she continued to rain attacks continuously in an imposing manner! The second stroke: Pocket Knife Fragrance; the third stroke: Pocket Knife dream… Followed by Pocket Knife Clouds, Pocket Knife Dance…
The three Saints were completely dazzled and stunned, constantly praising as they watched on, completely engrossed. Dugu Xiao Yi's negligible Xuan cultivation was naturally not interesting, but her knife skills were really exquisite! They even felt like they could see some essence of martial arts in the way she used knives, but it wasn't complete enough for them to be able to distinguish it, which showed that the profoundness of this set of knife skills was way beyond their knowledge and experiences.
Li You Ran was in an extremely pathetic state, incessantly complaining in his head! His Xuan Cultivation level was originally a few times higher than Dugu Xiao Yi. But over this period of time, Dugu Xiao Yi had been shoving all sorts of divine medication and pills into her mouth as if she were eating candies, so she had improved greatly, seemingly not weaker than Li You Ran. Coupled with such clever knife skills, even though she was still lacking in experience, it was not difficult!
Dugu Xiao Yi did her best to exhibit all that she had learnt, steadily gaining the upper hand. She felt awfully high-spirited; she had been bullying others all her life, but she had never felt this sort of gratification! And she was now bullying someone whom she had always disliked! In the past, she wanted to bully him, but she couldn't win… But now… Hehehehe…. A feeling like this was too darn good!
So her attacks became more ferocious and imposing. Li You Ran suddenly screamed, stumbling back and losing all his deportment. His legs turned into jelly and he fell onto his butt!
”Pocket Knife Destroy Dreams!” Dugu Xiao Yi shouted, attacking as quickly and fiercely as lightning and thunder, aiming at the top of Li You Ran's head! Li You Ran felt the wind from the knife brush against his face. His heart turned cold and he thought: Am I actually going to die here today?
Suddenly Chi Tian Feng moved and stopped the pocket knife with two of his fingers when it was a few inches away from Li You Ran's scalp. Using a little bit of strength, he snatched it from the girl. He looked at it and marveled, ”Truly excellent knives; excellent knife skills!”
Then he gently tossed the knife back to Dugu Xiao Yi and spoke gently, ”Young lady, when it is possible to let people off, one should spare them; always leave a chance — it will be better if you cross paths with each other again!” Then he pulled Li You Ran up and said, ”Let's go!”
Li You Ran was still in a shocked daze; only after they had exited the doors of the Jun Residence had he regained his senses and finally noticed that there was something off about the three Saints' expressions.
Right before they had walked out of the Jun Residence, Cui Chang He had even crushed a floor tile with his steps!
Looking at their clothes, their backs were completely soaked! In such a cold winter weather!
What was happening?
”That was a close call!” Chi Tian Feng finally groaned after heaving a sigh. This Saint couldn't help but lift his hand to wipe the cold sweat off his face.
”Close call?” Li You Ran asked in surprise. Which part was dangerous? How come I didn't notice even the slightest danger? Could he mean that encounter I had just now? That was too unlikely; based on the abilities of three Saints, although the girl's abilities were beyond what I had expected, there shouldn't be any danger?
”It really was a narrow escape!” Sa Qing Liu sighed and glared at Li You Ran. Snapping at him, he said ”We three almost lost our lives thanks to you! But you're still completely unaware of it!”
”Huh?” Li You Ran was really surprised now.
”If my guess is not wrong, Jun Mo Xie's mysterious master was in that courtyard we entered!” Cui Chang He rubbed his head and sighed before continuing. ”It was truly beyond our expectations! Did you not notice that in that courtyard, not a single thing made sense? Not a single thing was something you've seen or heard of before? Be it objects or people!”
”Sharp, as expected!” Chi Tian Feng looked up to the skies for a long time before letting out a deep sigh. It was only now that the three of them felt more relaxed.
Li You Ran, on the other hand, felt like he was listening to a heavenly book, completely confused and understanding nothing. He didn't know what these three old men were saying. Even if there were things that did not obey the seasons, that was no reason to be so frightened, right?
