Chapter 174

Boxed In

The maiden’s scarlet hair, red eyes, make-up and boldly revealing clothing accentuated her bewitching voice and demeanour, winning Ximen Buxing’s enthusiastic stamp of approval.

Tone indifferent, Lie Shang questioned, “Does Secular World Sect intend to involve themselves in this mess?”

Secular World Sect’s disciples dressed revealingly compared to Jade Sect and approached cultivation differently. Their sect names were accurate depictions of their character, except for Tian Ran. The sects were polar opposites, yet they surprisingly formed an alliance.

The enchanting maiden’s name was Zi Luo, another invited guest. She specialised in seducing her targets. Word on the streets was she once slew a Body Severing Realm adept using just her eyes. Regardless of how lucky she was, her skill couldn’t be discredited.

Ximen Buxing ambled toward Zi Luo, twirling his hand with one hand. “Riding a beast is lame. How about riding me somewhere secluded?”

Zi Luo smiled. “Since I have to choose between two beasts, I would prefer the dragon vine.”

“Ugh, my heart needs you to treat it.” Ximen Buxing continued forward and extended his hand to Zi Luo.

“Let’s go,” Lie Shang told Mu Yu, knowing Ximen Buxing was more than skilled enough to stall Zi Luo.

“Miss, have you heard about my upbringing?”

Detecting an incoming slash from a sword soon after they started moving, Lie Shang summoned Sky Sorcher to deflect the slash. Following up, he used a hand command to slash sword qi, forcing the assailant to reveal themselves. He sardonically asked, “You don’t like life?”Thi/s chapter is updated by nov(e)(l)biin.co/m

Swinging Sky Scorcher again, Lie Shang blasted a heat breaker at Liu Feng. Liu Feng made a break for it but was clearly not going to make it. Suddenly, Meng Xin intervened, deflecting Lie Shang’s attack with her jade flute.

“You may be strong, but you’re no match for us.”

Mu Yu threw a vial of Light Shaft, gambling it would work the way he hoped since he had no idea how to use it correctly. He shut his eyes right before the vial exploded and shone a blinding light.

“My eyes!”

“Stop him!”

The duo was unable to see where Mu Yu went. Mu Yu opened his eyes once he presumed he was out of the light’s range. Although white patterns inhibited his vision as a result of being caught in the light, he forged forward. Before he could reach the woods, unfortunately, another person stopped him.

“Who are you?” Mu Yu desperately blinked and wiped his eyes to restore his vision.

The youth dressed in navy and wielded an orange sword. He enveloped his body in his sword qi. He proudly declared, “Sword Purification Manor’s Man Jian.”

“If I’m correct, Yuan Jian is part of your sect.” Mu Yu furtively signalled for the dragon vine to move away.

“... Senior Brother Yuan Jian is renowned throughout the world. If you know who he is, I suggest you hand over the dragon vine and celestial fiend fruit.”

“I’m just discovering you’re all equally foolish. I can’t blame him for dying a silly death,” slighted Mu Yu, trying to catch Man Jian with a vial while the latter was thrown off his rhythm.

Man Jian sniggered and split the vial in two. Two green streaks of mist transformed into green snakes and launched at Mu Mu u. Vengeful Snake derived its name from the snake specifies of the same name’s venom. It transformed from a mist back to its snake form upon encountering a human and would viciously attack until one party was finished. One vengeful snake could rival a Primordial Infant Realm cultivator. To maximise its venom, the poison creator had to torture it until it died vengefully.

“You have a few tricks up your sleeve,” sarcastically praised another foe.

Mu Yu grabbed a few vials. “And who are you?”

“Purifying Sword Valley’s Kuai Jian,” answered Kuai Jian, exuding a cold vibe.

“Everyone in the sect has ‘sword’ for a character in the name, huh? I see naming originality isn’t one of your sect’s strong suits.”
