Chapter Seventy-Three: Luo Mudan

  Today's second update~~~~~

  Time ticked away bit by bit, neither side made the first move, the air was filled with a tense atmosphere, everyone took out their own weapons, staring at the opposing side, motionless, for fear of revealing any weakness.

  Among them, only Zhang Chong held a heart-stabbing stick in one hand and gently swung it with the other. About an hour later, Yunwu's sharp eyes were the first to notice Zhang Chong's movement. She whispered to Huashan,

  "Brother Hua, was Sister Hua's action just now hinting at something?"

  At her reminder, Huashan also saw it, and after carefully identifying it for a while, he said.

  "Hmm, it seems so. He appears to be calling us over. Could he be trying to get us to make the first move, and then attack us from behind?"

  "It doesn't seem like it." Yunwu said from the side, "I feel like he wants us to leave first?"

  "It's impossible." Hua Shan said with confidence.

  "Your senior's eyesight, I'm still very confident, I must not have misjudged, just watch me." With that said, he took two steps forward and was about to charge ahead.

  Zhang Chong made a long-awaited gesture, and finally saw Mount Hua start to move. However, he didn't expect that Mount Hua wasn't retreating backwards, but instead was charging forward. This sudden movement shocked him so much that he involuntarily took two steps back.

  Just then, Lin Ye lightly flashed in front of him, blocking his retreating footsteps, and said softly.

  "Don't be alarmed, brother. If we retreat now, it would be chaotic and disorganized. It's better to charge forward!" He said this as he was thinking of charging ahead.

  "Don't," Zhang Chong heard Lin Ye's words and was shocked, shouting out loud. He thought to himself, if he killed Hua Shan and Yun Wu, and Mo He found out about it, how would he be able to get the antidote for his Six Poison Pills?

  "What's wrong." Lin Ye was also caught off guard by Zhang Chong's sudden grab, and he didn't understand what Zhang Chong meant.

  "The other side might be using a trick to test our reaction. Let's not rush over for now, and use inaction to wait for an opportunity. Perhaps it will have an unexpected effect." Zhang said this in his anxious state.

  On the other hand, Hua Shan indeed took two steps forward before stopping, but he didn't stop because of a plan, rather it was Yun Wu who called out to him.

  "Hua Shixiong, wait a minute, didn't you see? Just now, Little Shishu saw you were about to charge forward and retreated two steps. He must want us to retreat and not have a head-on confrontation with them."

  Mount Hua heard this and thought it made sense, so he tried taking two steps back. As a result, Zhang Chong saw them retreating and stopped his gesture, putting on a relaxed expression.

  "It's good that we didn't rush too quickly." Hua Shan thought to himself, and couldn't help but feel a little proud of his quick reaction. He and Yun Wu turned around the valley lightly and disappeared from view. This trip out was originally to carry out a task arranged by Xu Yi Fei Lao Zu, and they had already completed it and were on their way back when they unexpectedly ran into Zhang Chong, which ended up being a false alarm.

  Lin Ye and the others, seeing the two retreat, also let out a sigh of relief. If they were to engage in battle, with their strength, they would not be afraid at all. However, they were worried that if they continued to fight, it might lead to casualties or difficulties in escaping, which would be extremely detrimental to their plan.

  "Zhang Shidi, I really didn't expect that you would also have a talent for analyzing the enemy." Lin Ye said sincerely, but unexpectedly, Zhang Chong wasn't deduced, he was forced out.

  Just as they had just put their hearts at ease, a soft laughter echoed from mid-air, and a seductive woman's voice rang out.

  "Oh, I was thinking that Qing Shan would assign me some task, but I didn't expect it to be a group of handsome young men. Not bad, young people, I quite like them."

  After a burst of tender laughter, a slender voice emerged from mid-air. It was a woman of about twenty-six or seven years old, wearing a light yellow cloud sleeve dress with peach blossoms in her hair, and she was indeed an absolute beauty. Her footsteps were elegant and refined, yet they revealed a thousand charms.

  Her delicate lips slightly opened, a faint smile now on her face, every move she made exuded a charming and alluring air.

  But when he saw her, Lin Ye let out a cry of surprise.

  "Qing Yi Men, Luo Mu Dan."

  When Lin Ye said her name, Luo Mudan also smiled and turned to Lin Ye.

  "I didn't expect you still remember my name, haha, I'm glad."

  Lin Ye didn't respond to her words, but instead said in a low voice,

  "She is a first-class Night Yaksha, although she looks extremely beautiful, but she is extremely formidable, so everyone should be careful."

  As Lin Ye finished speaking, everyone immediately became fully alert and formed a semi-encirclement around Luo Mudan, awaiting her with a stern array.

  Luomudan seemed to be ignoring the demonic guards, her peach-colored eyes boldly gazing at everyone's faces, slowly sweeping past them. Her eyes held a captivating power that could enthrall people's souls. After a long while, she finally let out a soft sigh and said...

  "Alas, it's all because of the young talents. Unfortunately, I didn't attend Changsheng Gate over the years and never got to know you. Today is Qing Shan's appointment, asking me to bring you back. Otherwise, I would have liked to spend some time with you all, having a leisurely chat."

  As she spoke the last sentence, a pale pink cane in her hand suddenly emitted a faint light. The cane seemed to be made of slender branches and was not very long, but its body was not straight either, with a natural slight twist.

  As the bright light flickered, on top of the staff, a hundred peach blossoms suddenly bloomed, the flowers blooming and withering at the same time, petals scattered everywhere, sprinkling towards the crowd, quietly passing by.

  Although everyone was fully prepared, they did not expect that Luo Mudan's smile would lead to a fight, and immediately they all raised their magical defenses in response.

  Lin Ye's flying dagger transformed into a rain of blades, shooting out from his hand. Xiao Tian's weapon was a large knife, and with a loud roar, he raised it and chopped down, while Shi Wendloung's long staff also struck towards Luo Mudan's chest. Liu Sheng's spear followed closely behind him, charging straight into the flower petals, its long blade gleaming with black light, carrying an fearless offensive, thrusting straight at Luo Mudan's chest.

  Among these people, Zhang Chong was the slowest to make a move. He stood there, holding the Devouring Heart Stick, carefully manipulating the three forces inside his body. As he manipulated them, two wisps of black and white misty air flashed before the stick.

  "Strength is not bad, the disciple of Listen to the Wind and Fall, indeed lives up to its reputation." Luomudan, although surrounded by many people, still smiled elegantly, with every move and gesture exuding a hint of charm. Her slender figure also skillfully dodged all attacks.

  Just five moves later, Xiao Tian and Shi Wendlou were knocked to the ground, while Liu Sheng's shoulder was also pierced by a petal.

  "Drink..." Zhang Zhong's Heart-Devouring Stick finally moved, and with a swing of his stick, he managed to withstand Luo Mudan's attack. Luo Mudan was clearly also extremely surprised by the power of his stick, she had seen many things before, but the technique that Zhang Zhong used with his Heart-Devouring Stick was something she had never seen before.

  However, this is not surprising because Mo Wei emphasizes the connection and resonance with its master, automatically helping its master to understand the most suitable technique. Therefore, the usage of Xīn Bàng (Heart-Devouring Staff) also has many differences. Nevertheless, for the vast majority of demonic cultivators, under similar circumstances, their techniques will be more or less the same; someone like Zhang Chong who is completely different is extremely rare.

  Luomudan didn't know that this Heart Devouring Stick wasn't even forged by Zhang Chong, so how could he possibly use such a technique?

  Luomudan was not at a disadvantage in the joint attack of the three, and his words were not all provocative, but rather took the initiative.

  On the other hand, Zhang Chong and the other two were also silent, only focusing on using all their special moves.
