The scholar with a hundred faces was already close to her, aiming straight for her vital point. Li Xianrui was forced to draw her sword, and the fan and sword clashed, the sharp light causing the scholar with a hundred faces to shake.
Li Xianrui had just withstood a barrage of hidden weapons from Tao Ou Niang when she was forced to parry a blow from the white-faced scholar's fan. She staggered even more and was forced back half a step. The white-faced scholar sneered, "Is this the strength of a mid-stage sixth realm cultivator?" He opened and closed his fan, continuing his relentless attacks.
Li Xianrui, the pale-faced scholar, and the peach-puppet girl had already clashed. Li Xianrui, fighting two against one, was instantly in grave danger. The pale-faced scholar and the peach-puppet girl discovered that Li Xianrui had not only failed to reach the sixth realm, but was even a step away from the peak of the seventh realm. Forget about breaking through or leveling up; she wasn't even as strong as the rumors in the martial arts world suggested.
"So this is the young lady from a prestigious family?" the pale-faced scholar laughed. "I thought she was really something special, but it turns out it's all just empty talk and exaggeration."
"If this is all the strength you have, it seems you're destined to be caught in the net today, and your two junior sisters will also be ruined by you."
He was skilled in psychological warfare, constantly making sarcastic remarks, but his attacks were ruthless. He used his folding fan as a judge's pen, striking with precision and mercilessness, penetrating to the bone and striking pressure points. Although Li Xianrui was intelligent, her previous failed breakthrough was a mental block. Now, her attempt to appear strong had failed, and she was left blushing with embarrassment. Even though the pale-faced scholar was slightly weaker than her, they were still at the same realm.
Xiang Kuang, because she lost her Dao heart, regressed instead of advancing. In addition to dealing with hundreds of scholars, she also had to deal with Tao Ou Niang's hidden weapons.
Fortunately, the martial arts of Yucheng Mountain were ultimately of superior quality, and the pale-faced scholar and Peach Girl's purpose was not to kill her, but to capture her alive, so they held back a little.
Even so, she soon found herself in grave danger, only managing to hold on with the resolve to die. "Senior Sister!" Zhu Xiuhui and Zhao Xiangmei realized that their senior sister was in a bad situation.
They finally panicked and drew their personal protective weapons to help each other.
A flash of light appeared before their eyes as Chen Ai Hu leaped forward, his blade flashing like a storm, engulfing them all. "You two brats, I'll show you whether I'm a man or not."
Chen Aihu's roar was fierce, but lacked conviction. If he captured them alive, he wouldn't be able to prove his masculinity and might, and would only be ridiculed. Therefore, his sword strikes were fierce and ruthless; killing them by accident would eliminate any need for proof.
On the other side, just as Fu Hai was about to move, the Qingnang girl blocked his way, looking both cute and fierce. Fu Hai whispered, "I treated you to candy!"
Chapter 129 "Do you think I'm stupid?"
The woman dressed in a long white dress with auspicious cloud patterns glanced at him sideways.
Her hair was disheveled, and shrouded in the pale white mist around her, she looked like a ghost. "You're not a good person either!" she pouted. "You lied to me just now."
Fu Hai looked at her earnestly: "When did I lie to you? Weren't the candies I gave you all delicious?" "Mmm, they were pretty delicious, meow."
Fu Hai said, "That's right, how did I lie to you? If you're talking about eating candy while looking at the moon, then I didn't lie to you either. Today is a special day, and eating candy while looking at the moon tonight is especially blissful. You haven't even tried it, how do you know I'm lying to you?" Qingnang Nu said, "This... meow."
Fu Hai said, "Why don't you give it a try? Try it first, and if you don't find it interesting, then come find me."
The woman from the Green Bag gave an "Oh," and began to remove the illusion. Fu Haiding held her hand, his heart pounding with excitement.
The woman with the green pouch lowered her hand, giving him a cold laugh: "Do you think I'm stupid?"
On the other side, the pale-faced scholar, Peach Girl, and Chen Ai Hu thought to themselves, "They really are idiots." Since Qing Nang Nu had almost been tricked by that young man, they were keeping an eye on this side while fighting the enemy.
The woman with the green pouch deliberately raised her hand to tease the boys, but it startled them. They almost rushed over to stop her.
Originally, the pale-faced scholar and Peach Girl were going to drive Li Xianrui into a corner.
Distracted by her interruption, Li Xianrui managed to regain some ground. Fortunately, although Qingnang Nu was slow-witted, she wasn't stupid.
As long as the Green Bag Woman doesn't remove the fog barrier and keeps an eye on the boy.
The three sisters, Li Xianrui and her fellow disciples, are destined to fall into their hands.
The original plan of the pale-faced scholar and the peach-peach maiden was for them to team up against Li Xianrui, two against one. They believed they could defeat her if they were confident, and even if they couldn't, as long as either Chen Ai Hu or Qing Nang Nu could break away first and join forces, Li Xianrui would still be doomed. Unexpectedly, Li Xianrui's strength hadn't even reached the peak of the seventh realm, yet the two of them were enough to defeat her.
Therefore, as long as no further complications arise, they are already certain of victory. Fu Hai raised his hands: "No, no, I don't think you're stupid."
"But this place has nothing to do with me. I'm not from Yucheng Mountain. I'm just a good boy passing by. I even gave you candy. You're not going to kill me like this, are you?"
Qingnang Nu looked at him, a slight smile playing on her lips: "Don't worry, meow."
"After you die, they will combine your soul with yin energy and turn you into a ghost, meow."
Fu Hai's heart stirred slightly... Yin ghosts? Yes, that's exactly what they are.
Although he had just failed, Fu Hai discovered that the so-called illusion was actually some kind of living creature.
The Green Bag Girl almost dispelled the illusion, but was stopped by the White-Faced Scholar and the Peach Puppet Girl. In that instant, Fu Hai sensed the "living" aura emanating from the entire mist. This illusion was a strange creature formed from some kind of Yin energy.
If he hadn't read through the "Bright Moon and White Bone Observation" to help Xiaoye harmonize her yin and yang, and even found a way to inject his own yang essence into Xiaoye's yin, he would have been different.
They probably can't understand this bizarre existence either.
Li Xianrui, Zhu Xiuhui, and Zhao Xiangmei, the three sisters, were disciples of a prestigious sect like Yucheng Mountain. However, they had never encountered or even imagined such a strange phenomenon before, which is why they were trapped.
The "viewing" in "Bright Moon and White Bones Contemplation" refers to contemplation.
Now that Fu Hai knew that this illusion was a creature formed from the aggregation of Yin energy, he secretly observed its true form by observing the swirling mist.
At the same time, he realized that although the fog was thick, the moonlight seeped into it and was still omnipresent.
Li Xianrui used the Xuanhua Zhanyu Gong (Mysterious Flower Blooming Jade Skill) to unleash the secret Blooming Flower Sword Technique of Jade City Mountain.
The Blooming Flowers Sword Technique is a superior seventh-grade sword technique, exquisite and unparalleled. Although the pale-faced scholar and Peach Girl kept pressing forward, they were unable to capture her for the time being because they wanted to capture her alive.
Suddenly, the pale-faced scholar successfully broke through Li Xianrui's sword circle, creating an opportunity for Tao Ou Niang. Tao Ou Niang, holding the bone-piercing needle, was about to strike Li Xianrui's vitals.
On the other side, the Green Bag Girl pretended to raise her hand to dispel the illusion, which startled her again. Peach Puppet Girl swayed, about to rush over to stop the Green Bag Girl.
The woman with the blue pouch lowered her hand and asked the boy if he was stupid.
In that moment of distraction, Peach Maiden missed her chance, and was so angry she wanted to strike Green Bag Girl with the Bone-Piercing Needle. However, seeing that Green Bag Girl was now wary of the young man and no longer easily deceived, Peach Maiden and the pale-faced scholar felt relieved and focused their full attention on attacking Li Xianrui.
Li Xianrui's situation was becoming increasingly dangerous. She was anxious but helpless.
Taking a moment to glance at his two junior sisters, he discovered that Chen Ai Hu's every strike was filled with killing intent, as if he intended to kill them both directly.
Suddenly, Chen Ai Hu swung his blade down, shattering Zhu Xiu Hui's sword light, and aimed at Zhao Xiang Mei's face. This strike was meant to cleave Zhao Xiang Mei from her forehead downwards.
Li Xianrui disregarded her own safety, dodging Tao Ou Niang's hidden weapon used to seal acupoints, and charged towards Chen Ai Hu. Chen Ai Hu was startled by her frenzied behavior and rolled away like a wolf. The pale-faced scholar saw that Li Xianrui was facing him and Tao Ou Niang, yet she still dared to go to their rescue.
With a long, sinister laugh, he closed his folding fan and moved like lightning, striking two vital acupoints on Li Xianrui's back with two sharp cracks.
He used his folding fan like a judge's pen, striking two acupoints on Li Xianrui's body. His powerful energy instantly sealed her blood and qi. Li Xianrui was thrown forward, flying through the air.
A figure flew through the air, caught her, and they both fell to the ground. "Senior Sister!" Zhu Xiuhui and Zhao Xiangmei cried out in unison.
They tried to help their senior sister, but Chen Ai Hu rolled over and chopped at their legs.
With the help of their senior sister, they temporarily regained their footing, but Chen Ai Hu's strength far surpassed theirs, and they were unable to break free. The pale-faced scholar and Peach Puppet Girl were uninterested in the life or death of the two girls, Zhu and Zhao.
Old Master Zhao wanted Li Xianrui. It would be best if he could capture her junior sisters; if not, killing them wouldn't matter. Since that was the case, they naturally opted for the easiest method.
Chen Ai Hu, on the other hand, kept saying he wanted to show these two girls who had just laughed at him for being "incompetent" and "so funny" his might, but in the end he wished he could kill them to silence them.
It seems the secrets uncovered at Jade City Mountain were indeed true. Fu Hai caught Ji Xianrui, and it was she who fell down with her.
The pale-faced scholar could tell that the young man was only at the eighth realm, so he didn't take him seriously. At this moment, Li Xianrui had already been struck in two vital points, causing her qi and blood to stagnate.
Peach Girl also threw a dart at her, which hit her thigh. Although not fatal, it was coated with a substance powerful enough to paralyze an elephant.
Li Xianrui, her vital energy sealed, collapsed into the young man's arms, unable to even lift her hands. The pale-faced scholar opened his folding fan again and walked forward, waving it.
Wait a minute! The boy who was holding her was lecherously touching her while looking up and pleading, "Can I have some fun with her?" The inexplicable request made the pale-faced scholar pause for a moment, almost wondering which side this kid was on.
Chapter 130 A Young Man's One-Finger Divine Skill
The moment the boy spoke, his hand was already eagerly reaching for the young lady of the Painting Immortal Pavilion. He even went so far as to slip his hand inside her clothes and begin to grope her.
Peach Girl hugged the puppet back to her arms and chuckled, "How could you think we would agree?" She had never seen anyone so eager to have a good time when they were about to die.
"I know you will never let me go," the boy said, looking up. "Because you definitely don't want Jade City Mountain to track you down."
"But I have no grudge against you. I'm just a lion dancer at a lantern festival. I was dragged into this mess for no reason and it's really unfortunate. I've admired this young lady for a long time. Please give me this chance. I'd be willing to die for it."
He looked at the woman in the blue bag: "Please, I've already given you candy." Li Xianrui, in his arms, was both angry and furious: "You, you."
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'I'?' Fu Hai grabbed her clothes several times and touched her face. "You're going to kill me. What's wrong with letting me have sex with you? I just want to die peacefully under the peony flower."
He touched her thigh again.
Chen Ai Hu laughed loudly: "This kid is just like my old man, a lecherous wretch, not bad, not bad." The pale-faced scholar and Peach Girl thought to themselves, "He's different from you, he really wants to do it."
As Zhu Xiuhui and Zhao Xiangmei were forced to retreat, they angrily cursed, "Bastard, you still say you're not a lecherous thief? Shameless little thief, let my senior sister go!"
Fu Hai laughed and said, "I am despicable, I am shameless. I am about to die, it has nothing to do with me, if you are so capable, why don't you persuade them to let me go? Go and persuade them."
The scholar with a hundred faces looked at Peach Girl: "Did Old Master Zhao say that this young lady wants to hand over her virginity to him?"
Peach Girl said irritably, "You really want to let him cause trouble?" She pinched a dart and was about to throw it at the boy's forehead. "He's mine, you're not allowed to lay a hand on him!" Green Bag Girl blocked her way.
Peach Girl frowned and said, "He's right, we can't let him leave alive. He knows this himself, are you still going to let him go?" "They're going to raise him into a ghost, and then treat his cat well."
The scholar with a hundred faces swept his light across the area and suddenly noticed blood oozing from the spot on Ji Xianrui's leg where the dart had struck. He exclaimed, "Something's not right!"
He snapped his folding fan shut, swiftly flashed forward, and aimed to strike Li Xianrui's vital points. *Whoosh!* A flash of sword light.
With a loud thud, the folding fan was jolted out of his hand. Li Xianrui's sword pierced swiftly toward his chest.
The pale-faced scholar never expected that Li Xianrui, despite having two vital acupoints on her back pressed by him and being hit by Tao Ou Niang's poisoned darts that could paralyze even an elephant, would still be able to use her internal energy to attack.
His skill level was even higher than before.
If he hadn't noticed that Li Xianrui was actually using her internal energy to expel the effects of the anesthetic, clearly indicating that her blood circulation had returned to normal, and hadn't become wary, this sword would have already pierced him through.
Even so, the sudden sword strike still caused him to drop his weapon and his hand to go numb.
As she retreated rapidly, her clothes were torn at the chest, and the sword tip left bloody marks on her chest. Li Xianrui suddenly leaped up, her sword flashing like a rainbow, and struck Chen Ai Hu with lightning speed.
Chen Ai Hu's adaptability was far inferior to that of the pale-faced scholar. Forced to change tactics, he let out a muffled groan, blood splattering from his shoulder, and retreated. Tao Ou Niang was blocked by Qing Nang Nu and was unable to provide timely support with hidden weapons.
Seeing Ji Lixianrui force back the pale-faced scholar and severely injure Chen Ai Hu with a single sword strike, he was secretly astonished. Was this girl hiding her true strength?
However, who would deliberately conceal their strength, launch a surprise attack on an enemy, and then endure two vital points and a dart?
Could it be some kind of secret technique that forcefully stimulates blood and qi to unleash potential and delivers a fatal blow? If so, as long as she avoids Li Xianrui's attack, she herself will fall down. With a thought, Tao Ou Niang dared not get too close to her and immediately retreated.
Qingnang Nu found herself alone against the suddenly erupting senior sister of Huaxian Pavilion, and immediately retreated. Anyway, as long as the illusion remained, Ji Xianrui had no way to escape... This was the thought shared by all of them.
Li Xianrui suddenly unleashed the strength of the peak of the seventh realm, knocking away the white-faced scholar's weapon, wounding Chen Ai Hu with her sword, and scaring away Tao Ou Niang and Qing Nang Nu.
She was also at a loss, not knowing what to do. The boy, however, clung to her back like an octopus.
He reached inside her collar with one hand and pointed with the other: "Over there."
The fog wall was gathering over there; what good would it do to get past it? Li Xianrui didn't know, but she decided to listen to him.
"Follow me!" she shouted to her two junior sisters before plunging into the mist. "You can't escape!" the Green Bag Girl snorted from behind.
The pale-faced scholar and the Peach Blossom Maiden squinted. They certainly believed in the Green Bag Maiden's illusion. But the other party's reaction was too strange.
