Chapter 412: Husband, The Sword

“Dad, they are all very powerful, but the most formidable are Yu Xian and an old man with the demeanor of an Immortal Daoist. I cannot discern their cultivation levels at all,” Si Kong Qianluo whispered to Si Kong Changfeng.

During these past two days at Xue Luo Manor, she had witnessed the women practicing Martial Arts, and they were all so powerful that she could only look up to them in awe.

However, the most powerful were undoubtedly Yu Xian and Zhang Sanfeng.

Si Kong Changfeng was surprised upon hearing this. Were there hidden masters at Xue Luo Manor? What was the true origin of Xue Luo Manor? Why were there so many powerful people here?

“Next up, who is it? Jin Xian? Su Changhe? Lone Sword Immortal?” Yu Xian looked at the Lone Sword Immortal and the others, a mocking smile playing on his lips.

Jin Xian knew he was no match. Yu Xian hadn’t even made a move, merely sending out one woman who defeated the Angry Sword Immortal. How could he possibly be their opponent? Thus, he stepped forward a few paces and bowed, saying, “I am merely making this trip on behalf of the Emperor to understand the Beyond the Heavens and Xue Luo Manor. After all, this is North Li, and I harbor no ill intentions.”

Jin Xian’s meaning was clear: he did not wish to fight, and he knew he could not win.

“Eunuch Jin Xian, in his early years, roamed the Jianghu under the name ‘Wind and Snow Sword’ Shen Jingzhou, possessing strength at the Fuyao Realm level, ranking second among the Five Eunuchs. Yu Yan, go exchange a few moves with Eunuch Jin Xian. Since Eunuch Jin Xian has come all this way…” Yu Xian left the latter part unsaid, instead staring at Jin Xian with a full smile.

“Yes, Husband!” Jiang Yuyan immediately floated excitedly into the middle of the crowd, her gaze flashing with cold light as she looked toward Jin Xian!

“Yu Yan, take this. This is Husband’s Gentleman Sword.” Yu Xian took out the Gentleman Sword and sent it flying toward Jiang Yuyan.

After the System upgraded, it stopped giving out weapons. He still had several women who lacked weapons! It seemed he needed to make a trip to the Jian Xin Tomb to equip all his women with weapons!

Jiang Yuyan caught the flying Gentleman Sword, and the look in her eyes shifted again. However, when she looked at Jin Xian, it was still chilling, like facing a venomous snake that had been dormant for a long time, ready to bare its fatal fangs at any moment.

When locked by her gaze, Jin Xian felt a chill shoot up his spine to the top of his head. He gripped the long sword in his hand tightly.

Suddenly, Jiang Yuyan launched the first attack, closing in with her sword. In her hands, the Gentleman Sword showed none of its usual gentle demeanor; instead, sharp Sword Qi tore through the air, rushing straight toward Jin Xian’s face.

Jin Xian knew this battle was unavoidable, so he dared not be careless. His figure floated back several feet like a phantom. Simultaneously, his long sword left its sheath, instantly summoning a blizzard. Every sword strike carried a bone-chilling coldness.

That was precisely his ‘Wind and Snow Sword’ Sword Intent. Wherever the sword light reached, the air seemed to condense into frost.

Jiang Yuyan, however, showed no fear. Her footwork shifted unpredictably, her figure like lightning. She danced the Gentleman Sword into a dense net of blades, blocking all of Jin Xian’s icy Sword Qi.

Although her cultivation was still only at the Fuyao Realm within the Xiaoyao Heavenly Realm, her movement technique was extremely agile, and her Sword Moves were vicious and tricky. Every strike targeted a weakness around Jin Xian, forcing him to retreat repeatedly, daring not to let down his guard in the slightest.

Jiang Yuyan’s Swordsmanship had no fixed pattern, yet she always managed to evade Jin Xian’s sharp edge at the last moment while launching counterattacks from bizarre angles.

Although Jin Xian’s Wind and Snow Sword Intent was strong, it was gradually being disrupted by Jiang Yuyan’s strange fighting style. The coldness between the Sword Moves even showed faint signs of dissipating.

Gentleman Sword Immortal lightly fanned himself with his folding fan. His gaze lingered on Jiang Yuyan for a moment, and he whispered to Si Kong Changfeng, “This woman has malevolence hidden within her sword; I fear her Heart-Nature is not simple.”

Si Kong Changfeng also nodded. He could sense the chilling Killing Intent emanating from Jiang Yuyan, completely different from ordinary women, and he was secretly alarmed that the women of Xue Luo Manor were truly extraordinary.

“Ah!” A miserable cry suddenly rang out.

The long sword in Jin Xian’s hand was flicked away by Jiang Yuyan. Then, Jiang Yuyan, who could have easily slit Jin Xian’s throat with one strike, retracted her sword, turned around, and kicked Jin Xian, sending him flying. She had shown mercy.

Jin Xian fell heavily to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, but his life was not in danger.

As Jiang Yuyan turned to leave, the aura on her body abruptly vanished, replaced by a docile and gentle appearance.

“Husband, the sword.” Jiang Yuyan returned the sword to Yu Xian. She was very happy to have been able to fight using Husband’s sword.

“Good girl.” After taking the sword, Yu Xian habitually stroked Jiang Yuyan’s head dotingly.

Just as Jiang Yuyan was fighting Jin Xian, he seemed to see the Empress who had fought until only a few names remained.

But when he turned around, she had become the obedient Jiang Yuyan again.

This made Yu Xian feel as if all his women knew how to perform magic tricks.

“Su Changhe!” Yu Xian looked toward Su Changhe, who was already showing signs of retreating, and called his name faintly.

Upon hearing this, Su Changhe instantly shuddered. He clearly knew Yu Xian’s cultivation level. He had thought that accompanying the Lone Sword Immortal this time would pose no danger, but now it seemed the Lone Sword Immortal might not even be needed to draw Yu Xian’s action—the women around Yu Xian were all too terrifying!

Yu Xian calling him now meant someone was about to fight him! Although he didn’t know which woman Yu Xian would send, he resolved to fight with all his might!

However, what he never expected was that Yu Xian called out two people: Su Mu Yu and Mu Yumo!

Weren’t they turned into Medicine People and killed after storming Xue Luo Manor? Why did they appear here?

“Mu Yu, Yu Mo…” Su Changhe called out the two names.

But whether it was Su Mu Yu or Mu Yumo, both stared coldly at Su Changhe, their eyes filled with hatred.

Hate! Su Mu Yu and Mu Yumo truly harbored deep hatred for Su Changhe! Su Changhe had taken advantage of their inattention to collude with the Red King, ambush them, and then turn them into Medicine People.

If not for Yu Xian, they would either be dead or have become emotionless, walking corpses!

Moreover, Su Changhe hadn’t just turned the two of them into Medicine People; many Disciples of the Dark River had also become Medicine People!

A man can endure much, but not this! (A literal translation of a Chinese idiom: A scholar can tolerate it, but who cannot tolerate this!)

“Su Changhe, give me your life! I want revenge for the Dark River Disciples you harmed! You have disgraced your position as the patriarch of the Dark River! To harm your own kin!” Su Mu Yu declared, then launched an attack on Su Changhe alongside Mu Yumo.

Su Changhe’s Martial Arts were significantly stronger than Su Mu Yu and Mu Yumo’s, so even facing their combined force, he was not afraid. Furthermore, he preferred the current outcome.

He was very familiar with both Su Mu Yu and Mu Yumo, so dealing with them presented no real difficulty. If he had to face one of Yu Xian’s women, he was not confident he could retreat unharmed.

However, to his surprise, the power of Su Mu Yu and Mu Yumo had increased significantly compared to before; they were no longer opponents he could easily manipulate!

Moreover, while he was familiar with them, they were also familiar with him.

Facing the siege of Su Mu Yu and Mu Yumo, Su Changhe gradually felt the pressure.
