Chapter 383 - This Insidious Woman

All of a sudden, a tense atmosphere settled over them, and even the wind stayed still. The air seemed to be filled with a layer of ice debris. Everyone on the spot felt a sharp, piercing chill. After all, Su Lianyue was a genuine member of the Devil’s Practice, who had killed numerous people of the Orthodox Path. Though Yu Yifeng, Qin Shaoyang, and others had been friendly with Xiao Chen, they would never allow Su Lianyue to leave with him. Otherwise, if others of their sects heard this thing, they would be punished.

Liu Feiyan had already pressed her hand on her sword handle. Qin Shaoyang also moved his fingertips to cast a seal. Besides, the Startling Rainbow Sword behind Yu Yifeng kept trembling. Su Zimu’s Mystic Heaven Fan had accumulated its energy and was waiting for action. Beyond that, Bai Yushu’s hands had already formed a seal, and a layer of faint white radiance emerged on him. Meanwhile, the white light on Xiaoyue’s Autumn Water Sword increased significantly…

Except for Qingyu and Zhou Li, all the others here were promising young persons and ranked high in the Heaven List. At this moment, no one talked. All of them stayed in the deadlock until a seemingly careless voice with some doubts sounded, “Are you, are you going to fight against me?”

“Meow! Me-meow! If this is the case, I’d better stay far away from you guys!” Facing the danger of trouble, Zhiluan immediately flew to a big tree in the distance.

“Clang!” A clear sound was heard. In midair, a cyan Immortal’s Sword was flying. It was Luo Shangyan who wielded her Shadow Sword. Perfected Immortal Zixu, who was the Sect Leader of the Three Pure Sect, gave the sword to her. Now the sword was flying around her, continually emitting waves of green light. It ranked next to the Stifled Light, but the sword was still not an ordinary one.

“Clang!” There came another clear sound. Yu Yifeng also unsheathed his Startling Rainbow Sword, the whole body of which was red. It ranked only second to the Unsullied Sword.

“Lil Chen, go away. This woman killed Yuyuan Zi from the Qingfeng Temple, Yanxu Zi from the Yufeng Sect, and many other seniors from the Cultivators’ sect in the Orthodox Path. Today, we will never let off her! In the future, she will become a disaster for the people of the world!”

Yu Yifeng condemned Su Lianyue’s deeds justly and severely. When he spoke, he fixed his eyes on Su Lianyue. In previous, Wu Nian, his Junior Brother, was enchanted by a demonic woman from the Devil’s Practice. Thus, when he saw Xiao Chen was also going to be deceived by Su Lianyue, who was also a demonic woman, he would never allow Xiao Chen to make the same mistakes. Therefore, he must wipe out this demonic woman.

Subconsciously, Su Lianyue leaned toward Xiao Chen and then glanced at Yu Yifeng. When she saw his serious and resentful expression, she felt amused. “Hey, you are so rude. Why are you staring at me the whole time?”

Her words sounded charming and sweet to the core. Few ordinary men could resist such a temptation of her. However, Yu Yifeng had an unswervingly strong will. No matter what Su Lianyue had said or done, she couldn’t influence Yu Yifeng as she had affected Su Zimu. With an indifferent voice, Yu Yifeng said, “What a demonic woman from the Devil’s Practice!”

Taking a step forward, Xiaoyue explained lightly, “Brother Xiao, we don’t want to go against you today, but this demonic woman has killed countless people. I also hope that you should not be seduced by her and stay away from…”

“I have told you that I won’t let you do anything to her today.” With a gentle voice, Xiao Chen said this sentence. Abruptly, Xiaoyue had to bite back the words she would like to have said.

“It’s useless to say too much. I will just kill both of you today!” Zuoqiu Yang shouted and took the initiative to attack. After casting a faint look at him, Xiao Chen said lightly, “Guifeng.”

“At your command, my Lord!”

Dramatically, the situation changed. A nine meters high figure of a devil emerged out of thin air, and the appearance of it shook the whole woods. Everyone’s look changed, and they moved backward involuntarily. However, Zuoqiu Yang didn’t expect that a monster would suddenly appear. Now it was too late for him to take back the attack he had launched. Guifeng’s blade swept across and directly knocked Zuoqiu Yang back more than thirty meters away. Along the way, even the big trees beside Zuoqiu Yang were lifted high into the air because of this attack.

“The general is here, who dare touch my Lord!” In a deep voice, someone berated harshly. Whether it was the Autumn Water Sword or the Mystic Heaven Fan, both of them looked much inferior to the nine meters high figure of a devil.

“Whoosh!” With the sound of the wind, Luo Shangyan suddenly lifted her sword and stabbed at Su Lianyue. Guifeng uttered a loud cry and turned back to cut at Luo Shangyan without even looking round. With an overbearing manner, this fierce attack, the force of which was ten times more than the previous attack aimed at Zuoqiu Yang, was launched. The force of it lifted large pieces of earth. The corpses lying on the ground could not stand the force and burst open one after another.

“Junior Sister Luo!” At this moment, Yu Yifeng was extremely shocked. He wanted to grab her, but under the impact of this unmatched force, he could not get a little bit closer to her. Xiao Chen also seemed to see the most horrible scene in an instant, and he hurriedly shouted, “Stop, general!”

However, Guifeng had already launched the attack, so he could not stop it at all. This moment, the wind ceased. It seemed that the time also stopped, and everything stopped moving. The next moment, Xiao Chen flew backward, vomiting blood. The straw raincoat on him was broken into countless pieces. It turned out that he wielded the Immortal-override Steps and arrived before Luo Shangyan in time to block the attack.

“My Lord!” Jumping up from the horse’s back, Guifeng caught Xiao Chen in midair and fell back to the ground. In a tearful voice, he said, “I accidentally hurt you, my lord! I deserve to die!”

“General… General, it… has nothing to do with you…” Another mouthful of blood sprayed from Xiao Chen’s mouth.

“Xiao… Junior Brother Xiao…” Luo Shangyan reacted in an instant and immediately rushed to Xiao Chen. But Guifeng held out his large hand. He kept her away from Xiao Chen. Then, he called the devil ride over. Leaping on the horse with Xiao Chen, Guifeng also brought Su Lianyue up to horseback and rode away to the distance.

They rode away, leaving flying dust along the way. However, no one dared to stop them. After a long time, Zuoqiu Yang was still suffering from shock. He had not seen Xiao Chen’s General of Soul before. Later on, he only knew it by hearsay only. Today, when he finally saw the General of Soul, he thought that he was too far behind to catch up with Xiao Chen. He pinched his fingers tight. No one knew what he was thinking about at the moment.

The other people also had different expressions. The cold wind swept through the woods. In the wind, the leaves were rustling. Xiaoyue said lightly, “What a pity. We let the demonic woman run away.”

Zuoqiu Yang walked over to the few whole corpses left there, his face covered with blue veins. Su Zimu also glanced at the sword wounds on the necks of the corpses, and said, “Not a single drop of blood came out. Yi Yeqiu’s Fatal-thrust was truly equal to its reputation.”

Zuoqiu Yang kneaded his fingers, making some popping sounds out of the joints in his hands. “Bloodied Fiend Sect, Dark Shadow Hall…”

Staring at the dust along the way Xiao Chen and the others left, Yu Yifeng uttered a sigh. He turned back and said, “Stop, everyone. We are leaving now. See you later.” After that, he cupped his hands and slightly raised them to salute. Su Zimu, Bai Yushu, and others saluted them in return. “See you again.”

Yu Yifeng and others left. On their way, each one of them remained silent. After a long time, Qingyu finally moved her lips and said with a very little voice as if she were whispering to herself. “Junior Brother Xiao… Has the demonic woman really bewitched him?”

The others said nothing. Flying in midair, Zhiluan kept waving its paws. “That d*mned boy is obsessed with this beauty. When I restore my magic power, I will beat it out of him!”

Luo Shangyan stopped, and everyone turned around to look at her. They saw her shaking her head and walking up to them. In a soft voice, she said, “No, he must have his reasons and something that he is determined to do…” As she said this, her voice gradually sank.

In the distance, a large piece of dark cloud slowly came to them. It seemed that everything was going to change from now on.

Bringing Xiao Chen and Su Lianyue with him, Guifeng ran 50 kilometers to the south. On their way, they also encountered a few groups of Walking Corpses. But the devil horse’s iron hooves smashed all of them. After Guifeng had run for about one hour, Xiao Chen saw him gasping heavily. He thought that Guifeng must haven’t yet recovered after his battle against Xiaoxiang Yu’s Sixth-order beast soul, so he said, “General, I’m fine now. You can put me down.”

“Whoosh…”

The devilish horse stopped. And after taking a few steps forward, Guifeng took Xiao Chen down when they arrived into a wood, and he said, “The enemies haven’t yet caught up with us. I will cure the wound for you right now, my Lord!”

Xiao Chen stretched out his hand and shook his head. “There is nothing serious with me now. You must be tired now, general. You don’t need to waste any more Soul power on me. Please come back.”

“Then… I will retreat first.”

Slowly, Su Lianyue walked over. Looking at him, she said, “Are you… okay?” She thought to herself, “That night, Danyang Zi blew his Soul up, the power of which was more than ten times that the power Guifeng’s blade brought. At that time, Xiao Chen seemed unscathed. But today, Guifeng’s blade attack could hurt him like this. Is he really… But how is it possible?”

Xiao Chen ignored her. He looked up at the sky and saw the dark clouds gathering in the sky. It seemed that it was going to rain again. Right away, he found a clean place. After he gathered his gown’s lower hem, Xiao Chen sat down with his legs crossed. After a while, he forced the extravagated blood in his body out, but his face still looked a bit ugly. Though Guifeng withdrew some force of the previous attack, the attack still had the Nirvana Realm power, plus it was a surprise attack. In such a hurry, Xiao Chen had no time to mobilize his power to defend.

Another quarter passed. A series of dull thunder slowly came from far to near. After a little while, it started to drizzle continuously. Like willow catkins flying in the air, strands of rain gently brushed Xiao Chen’s face, which made him feel ice-cold. Su Lianyue opened her umbrella and walked up to cover the rain for him.

Xiao Chen said lightly, and his eyes still closed. “I am a boorish man. You needn’t use your Pure-heart Greenish-blue Umbrella to keep off the rain for me. Please put it away.”

Su Lianyue giggled, making the umbrella trembling lightly. She smiled and said, “If you are a rough man from the mountains, then I guess I can only be a village girl from the countryside.”

Xiao Chen practiced breathing techniques for several times and regained some True Energy. After opening his eyes, he said lightly, “But a village girl doesn’t know how to use a sword. Why didn’t you use the Fatal-thrust to kill me when I was practicing and healing myself? You could take the chance to blame my death on Yi Yeqiu.” When he finished speaking, Xiao Chen landed his eyes on her.

When Su Lianyue heard his words, she was first stunned. Then she shook violently with laughter, which made a few raindrops fall on Xiao Chen’s face.

“You must be joking, Master Xiao. How am I supposed to know how to use the Fatal-thrust?”

Xiao Chen gave her a cold smile but didn’t speak. When he grabbed Su Lianyue in the woods before, the strong wind happened to blow her cuffs a little up. At this point, Xiao Chen spotted a few shallow scratches on Su Lianyue’s arm. If he guessed right, the scratches must be made by the person who died under the tree.

Xiao Chen had guessed what had happened at that time. By wielding her enchanting skills, Su Lianyue successfully bewitched everyone so that she could easily use the Fatal-thrust to kill them. But in the end, one of them woke up and shot out to grab her. When the person was awake, he certainly would go to fight against her. In a hurry, she slapped at that person. But accidentally, she shattered his internal organs. Therefore, Su Lianyue had no choice but to add a cut at the person’s neck.

Xiao Chen had become increasingly aware of how insidious Su Lianyue was. “She is even more cunning than Xiaoyue. Just now, Su Lianyue led Xiaoyue and others to the only way that I would pass. After that, she deliberately stimulated more intense contradictions between the Divine Mist Sect, the Yin-Yang Sect, the Bloodied Fiend Sect, and the Dark Shadow Hall. This person can be so deceptive that I have to take precautions against her, even if we only have brief cooperation.”

“Master Xiao?”

The rain only lasted for a while, and now it was clear again. Su Lianyue put away her umbrella and smiled gently at him. Her smile looked as pure as an open lily after the rain. Su Lianyue seemed to smile sincerely without any attempt to seduce him. Xiao Chen stood up. Now he had almost recovered. Glancing at Su Lianyue, he asked, “Well, now do you want us to go separate ways or go together?”

The air in the woods was especially fresh after the rain. The raindrops on the leaves reflected the sunshine, twinkling. Those raindrops seemed to be countless pearls hanging on the trees. Beyond that, a rainbow rose against the sky in the distance. Su Lianyue smiled gently, hiding her hands behind. “What a beautiful scenery! If I am alone, will I waste such a perfect background? I think I’d better go with you, Master Xiao.”

“Then, if I am accidentally injured again, please show me some mercy, Fairy Suyue.” Xiao Chen replied.
