Chapter 223 Who are her parents?
The blade flashes, but the technique is unpredictable; the chopping, hacking, slicing, and slicing are all without any rhyme or reason, yet they are so fast that it's impossible to open your eyes.
It was as if endless sharp blades were about to shred everything in the world. The wind howled, a mournful cry of blades tearing the earth apart, a frenzied dance of flying sand and stones.
The earth's surface was shattered by this extremely domineering blade energy, and the dust it raised blotted out the sun, making it impossible for anyone to see each other clearly.
Cui Chou seemed to have gone mad. Wherever his blade flashed, there was only his resolute determination to tear everything apart. In his heavy breathing, every swing of his blade carried a ferocity that seemed to cleave the heavens and the earth.
"His reputation for slaughtering the entire land is truly well-deserved."
Upon hearing Elder Luo's words, Fei Xi was making a simple veil for her junior sister with a handkerchief.
Upon hearing this, she looked up at the center of the battlefield. Amidst the swirling dust, two figures could be vaguely seen, one fleeing and the other chasing, much like a famous scene.
Cui Chou, like a mad husky, was running wild, determined to raze the entire forest to the ground.
Fei Xi's lips twitched, and she didn't look any further. She handed her junior sister over to Elder Luo. The two exchanged a glance, and Elder Luo, having guessed something, nodded solemnly, as if to tell Fei Xi that she could entrust her to him with peace of mind.
Just as Fei Xi was about to get up, a figure suddenly loomed over her. She looked up and saw Yu Heng standing before her, golden mace in hand. His solemn face and tightly closed lips uttered a few silent words: 'What do you want?'
Fei Xi blinked, pointed in a direction, and silently uttered a few words.
She then darted away, creating a significant distance between herself and the bespectacled man not far away.
The bespectacled man seemed to sense something, turned his head, glanced at her, but found nothing amiss, then turned back to continue watching the battle in the distance.
Over here, Fei Xi used her feet to create an ethereal, elusive movement, constantly using the corner of her eye to judge the distance between herself and the bespectacled man. With each step, she shifted her position within the man's blind spot.
When she was less than a hundred meters away from the bespectacled man, she held her breath and focused intently on blending herself into her surroundings. She was a tree, a blade of grass, a member of this forest that had always existed.
The wind from the blades was fierce and lightning-fast, so fast that only the shadows of the blades danced in the sky. Ji Zhongxuan did not fight back and dodged in a somewhat disheveled manner.
When Cui Chou forced him to the lakeside, he suddenly stopped, raised his hand with flowing grace, his palm technique resembling the Yin and Yang of Tai Chi. The Heavenly Gang Palm stirred the entire lake water, colliding violently with the domineering and fierce sword wind, and in an instant, the wind and clouds changed color.
With water surging and fire raging, yin and yang in harmony, a diagram of yin and yang in balance appeared on the ground at some unknown time.
Upon seeing the first image, the bespectacled man thought to himself, "This is bad," and immediately tried to break the formation with a ball of light.
Unexpectedly, a golden mace suddenly slashed horizontally from his left, accompanied by an angry shout:
"I told you, you'd pay the price!"
"Villains have always died from talking too much. Don't you know that when you launch a sneak attack, you shouldn't make a sound?" The bespectacled man's lips curled up slightly. Without dodging or flinching, he used black smoke to conjure a giant shield, which he held horizontally in front of him.
Just then, the bespectacled man was surprised to see that Yu Heng's all-out attack had been easily blocked by him. Instead of being angry, the man's lips curled up, revealing a smile of triumph.
The moment the bespectacled man realized something was wrong, black smoke billowed out, rapidly capturing everything around him like a radiation net.
However, it was too late. Fei Xi, who had appeared out of nowhere in his right blind spot, snatched the ball of light and used the Ethereal Shadow Technique to instantly create distance between them.
The next second, Fei Xi threw the ball of light directly into the position where water and fire intersected in the Yin-Yang diagram.
As soon as the ball of light landed on the diagram, it was like water being poured into boiling oil, causing water to overflow and metal to be engulfed in flames.
The array, which had been scattered in all directions, vanished without a trace in an instant; the array was broken!
The group, no longer bound by the formation, exchanged glances and then attacked the bespectacled man.
After the formation was broken, the bespectacled man stood motionless with his head down, as if he had been struck hard and lost his senses.
Just as everyone's ultimate moves were about to hit him, he suddenly threw his head back and burst into laughter.
As she laughed, tears welled up in her eyes.
Blade energy, palm wind, fist force, mace power—different moves landed on the bespectacled man as if striking a sticky rice ball.
The energy was weak and powerless, causing no harm to the bespectacled man. Their internal energy weapons seemed to be stuck to him, making it difficult for them to break free and unleash their next move.
The bespectacled man adjusted his glasses with his index finger, ignoring the crowd surrounding him, and strolled leisurely toward Fei Xi, who had already distanced herself from him.
Seeing the critical situation, Fei Xi was pondering how to break through the bespectacled man's defenses and rescue the silver dragon.
For a moment, the bespectacled man who was originally ten feet away from her suddenly teleported in front of her and picked Fei Xi up with one hand.
"First, you used the pretext of revealing other people's secrets to tell them what to do, and had the two of them pretend to have a conflict to attract my attention; then you had them imitate me, using dust to obscure their vision and secretly set up the Jiji Formation."
"I will add another layer of the Jiji Formation on top of my formation to gain temporary control of the main formation, and then send this kid to ambush me."
"You then conceal yourself and steal the light pearl while I am distracted."
"I must say, you're a bit clever, knowing you can use blind spots to launch a surprise attack here. But have you forgotten what I said? You're not allowed to destroy my things, or the consequences will be unbearable for you. Didn't your family teach you not to be so reckless when you're out and about?"
Just as Fei Xi, whose collar had been grabbed, was about to speak, a sea of red suddenly appeared before her eyes as the bespectacled man finished speaking his last sentence…
The little girl in his arms fainted, and the bespectacled man sneered as he was about to throw her away.
A beam of white light suddenly shot out from Fei Xi's body in all directions.
The bespectacled man quickly released the person he was holding. The next second, he clutched his chest, which had been pierced by the white light, and appeared around Ji Zhongxuan, coughing violently in pain.
"Ahem, is she one of the witch's people?"
Ji Zhongxuan didn't reply, but instead slammed his palm down in the direction the bespectacled man had appeared, his face cold.
The bespectacled man disappeared again, only to reappear a moment later on the other side of Ji Zhongxuan.
"Her parents are witches? No wonder she's so deserving of a beating. What, are you perhaps going to replace the witch and give me another ticket? If so, I might be able to forgive this ill-mannered brat."
"Don't dream!" Ji Zhongxuan struck out with his palm again.
"Tsk, why get so angry? If you're unwilling, then I'll just have to take her and go directly to her parents to demand compensation."
After the bespectacled man finished speaking, he flashed back to Fei Xi's side.
As the light faded, Fei Xi, with her eyes closed, floated unconscious in mid-air.
Just as the bespectacled man's hand was about to touch her, a devastating sword light appeared from afar, centered on the bespectacled man, and forcefully cleaved a crack that stretched across the sky and earth.
The giant shield formed from black smoke was instantly shattered by this attack.
"Let her go!" The icy voice seemed to carry the chill of a thousand-year-old ice, making people tremble with fear, as if it could freeze everything.
The newcomer, wielding a sword, moved with lightning speed, leaping forward and pulling Fei Xi into a tight embrace.
"Interesting. You were actually able to shatter my black smoke. It seems you've grasped the essence of this world."
The newcomer ignored the bespectacled man and focused solely on rapidly attacking him with his sword.
Luo Dalun, who had stopped shooting because he couldn't pinpoint the location of the bespectacled man, immediately stepped forward and called out "Master" upon seeing the newcomer.
The newcomer was Bian Yuan, who nodded to Elder Luo in response.
Seeing that he had found a leader, Luo Dalun followed his master's attack and joined in.
Cui Chou, who hadn't given up his attack, glanced at Bian Yuan out of the corner of his eye as he made his move.
Hmm? That's strange. Didn't my friend dislike that little girl? When did they become so close?
"Why did you come?"
Suppressing his doubts, Cui Chou casually asked a question. Without waiting for Bian Yuan's reply, he turned around and unleashed another devastating attack on the bespectacled man.
Bian Yuan didn't want to say that he had been trapped by an array again. He held the person with one arm and wielded his sword with the speed of a dragon, striking the target with a stunning swiftness.
"Not enough, far from enough. You may have reached the threshold and found my position, but it's still a pipe dream to hurt me."
The bespectacled man's black smoke always cleverly forms a defense a second before the sword attack arrives, negating the sword energy's offensive.
Despite unleashing a barrage of attacks—including wielding a mad sword, striking with palms, punches, and maces—they were unable to harm him in the slightest.
The more they fought, the more alarmed they became. The key was that they had been the ones making the moves all along, while this person had never used a single move to attack them!
