The Fifth Volume Chapter 2 (Part 2) A Man More Beautiful Than a Woman

  Shan Sanlang and several other monsters suddenly pounced, each displaying their magical powers, joining forces to block the sword light, so that Mizu Rokuro had no worries, and attacked with peace of mind.

  The knife's speed was extremely slow, similar to an old cow pulling a broken cart, and there was no sharp whistling sound, but rather softer than the petals on a branch. Yet this slow and gentle knife somehow passed over the massive water dragon and evaded the obstruction of other monsters, as if they had only touched a clear and serene illusion.

  Mizu Rokurō stared wide-eyed as the knife's shadow fell on his body, but he couldn't dodge. Then, Kojirō Sakuragi sheathed his sword and returned it to its scabbard.

  At this moment, the jet of water shot in front of Gongzi Sakura, suddenly folded in two, and turned into a flurry of water droplets. The dragon fell from above Gongzi Sakura with a loud crash, cutting off at the waist.

  Mizu Rokurō stood there in a daze, his body stiff as if he had fallen into a nightmare.

  "Since I was six years old, I've been taking care of Nagi, and no one has ever been able to hurt her." Sakuya's voice remained gentle: "Take your wounds and go see your Demon Lord, that is the errand I'm giving you."

  A blood-curdling scream, hundreds of fine streams of blood sprayed from Mizuki Rokuro's entire body. His mouth twitched, his face a picture of utter incredulity. The youkai paled in unison, my hair stood on end - this one slash, Water Arrow, cut down the Water Dragon, evaded the youkai's defenses, and struck Mizuki Rokuro once more; I couldn't even see its trajectory!

  This knife stunned everyone.

  "We're leaving." Yun Dalang said coldly, and turned to leave with a flick of his sleeve. Xuan Sanlang supported Shui Liu Lang, and the demons all fled in an instant.

  Lei Meng burst into loud laughter: "These wicked creatures won't shed tears until they see their coffins!"

  "When it moves, it's like a stormy weather. When it's still, it's like a clear mirror." Gan Ning's face showed admiration: "After ten years of closed-door cultivation and refinement, the master's knife technique has fully grasped the essence of Bi Luo Fu's secret skills."

  Hai Ji also praised: "The secret path technique has reached this level, it can be said to be extremely wonderful and extremely mysterious. Even the former Yan Cai Zi was no more than that."

  "I've seen the sect leader grow up." Lei Meng's old face was full of pride: "The sect leader has been a prodigy since childhood, others practice secret skills for over a decade, but he can master them in just a year or two. This talent, even I, Old Lei, couldn't keep up with him no matter how hard I tried."

  Pat the horse? I pouted, I see that your horse-patting skills are unmatched. Take a look at Gan Ning and then take a look at Hai Ji, two beauties are lost in thought, obviously still savoring the young master Sakura's previous move.

  I suddenly felt a sour taste in my heart, begging your pardon, I had just defeated Yun Dalang! Who would have thought that with the arrival of Gongzi Sakura, all the attention was stolen by him. With a flicker of my eyes, I suddenly applauded warmly: "What a great sword! This... this is a single-stroke eyebrow knife, it's truly a treasure sword that can cut hair and iron like mud! No wonder the monsters were all scared away." Secretly thinking to myself, if I had been cultivating in Biliu from a young age, I wouldn't be much worse than Gongzi Sakura.

  Lei Meng glared at me: "It's the knife technique that's good, not the knife itself. It's a dot eyebrow knife, not a painted eyebrow knife!"

  I chuckled and said, "Whether it's a painted eyebrow or a dark eyebrow, the name sounds like a woman's, not very masculine! This knife, I think is most suitable for a woman to use." To be honest, whenever I see those dandy young masters in Luoyang, I feel so jealous that I could die. Every time they swagger through the streets, my brothers Li Jie and Da Xiong and I would stare at them with envy until their figures disappear from view, then we'd spit out a few mouthfuls of saliva and burst into laughter. The young master in front of me, Sakura, is far superior to me in terms of looks, status, and magical abilities. Even Gan Ningzhen, who has always been cold towards me, smiled at him. Of course, I didn't feel good about it, so I had to say a few mocking words.

  "What the heck!" Lei Meng roared, Hai Ji elbowed me and hinted that I shouldn't speak nonsense. Gongzi Sakura said with a smile: "This little brother is indeed Lin Fei, the most famous name in the mortal world recently? Just now, he fought against Yun Dalang, his magic changes were clever, and it's true that his reputation isn't exaggerated."

  I shrugged: "One scolds me and I understand nothing, one praises me for being clever with magic tricks, the red face and white face sang until I was confused."

  Lei Meng's face turned beet red, and Gan Ning gave me a glance, saying: "Uncle Lei, he is my friend, please forgive him." Then to Gongzi Ying: "So the Master had arrived earlier."

  "It's not just me, the top ten sects of Qingxu Heaven, including Xuanji Sect, Butianmen, Budo Sect, and Pohuai Island, as well as the top ten sects of Luosheng Heaven, such as Yingliu, Fenglei Chi, Qiankun Jiao... many masters have arrived, but they're all hiding in secret, watching the battle from afar." Suddenly, he lifted his head, gazing up at the night sky, where a faint, flickering light was streaking across, disappearing behind a dark cloud.

  Lei Meng stared at the disappearing light spot, his thick eyebrows furrowed: "It seems to be Luo Shengtian's first gate - Daguangming Realm's Floating Light Body Method."

  I secretly cursed myself, I didn't expect that today's battle would attract big shots like Qingxu Tian and Luosheng Tian.

  "Everyone is probably here for the Demon Lord," said Haki with a smile.

  Gongzi Sakura nodded: "Haiwu Shen is right. For thousands of years, the Demon Realm has always been a chaotic situation where demons and monsters have been in disarray. The fact that the Demon Lord can unify the Demon Realm, subdue all the monsters, and his magical powers are evident. Now he openly invades the Red Dust Heaven, revealing his ambition is not small, the Qingxu Heaven and Luosheng Heaven sects will certainly not sit idly by."

  I sneered: "You probably don't know yet, Luo Shengtian and Mo Zhu have been in a relationship for a long time."

  Young Master Sakura remained silent, while Lei Meng's face turned red with rage as he shouted: "Do you think our sect leader is ignorant? Otherwise, who would be willing to rush all the way to Dacheng City? Just your fight with Yun Dalang, it's even more disgusting than dog shit, is it worth us coming to watch?"

  "My nose snorted: 'Dog shit is better than a turtle that hides its head. Some people claim to be experts, but they only dare to sneak a peek from the side.'"

  Lei Meng angrily said: "Who are you calling a turtle?"

  I widened my eyes and looked around: "Where's the turtle?" Then my gaze fell on Lei Meng's face, and I nodded solemnly: "It wasn't a turtle after all, but an old snapping turtle."

  "I'll f**k your ancestors for eighteen generations!" Lei Meng roared loudly, throwing a punch at me. I didn't dodge or block it, remaining calm and composed. "Bang", Gan Ning's sword flashed out of its scabbard, blocking Lei Meng's fist for me.

  "Uncle Lei, please don't bother with him for my sake." Gan Ning said truthfully, and then asked Gongzi Ying: "The scene where the Demon Lord killed Hu Laozui and Liu Zongyuan, shouldn't Master Shifu have seen it too?"

  Gongzi Sakura nodded: "The Demon Lord's magical powers are unfathomable, looking at the entire Northern Territory, probably no one is his match."

  Gan Ning hesitated for a moment: "Could it be that even the Master's uncle is also...?"

  Young Master Sakura shook his head: "At most three tenths, I have at most only a thirty percent chance of winning."

  I said with a sneer, "The leader doesn't need to boost others' morale at the expense of his own prestige. I think your swordsmanship is quite impressive, killing the Demon Lord will be like stepping on an ant."

  Young Master Sakura smiled slightly: "You're right, when masters clash, having a chance of winning is enough. However, for now, we don't need to have a direct confrontation with the Demon Lord."

  Wow, you're opening a dye shop just because I gave you some color? I rolled my eyes and said, "I'm afraid of dying before achieving success, which makes heroes shed tears."

  Lei Meng's anger was so intense that his eyes were spitting fire, and if it weren't for Gan Ning's intervention, he would have probably beaten me to a pulp by now. But Gongzi Ying burst into applause, saying: "A general dies before the battle is won, often causing heroes to shed tears. What a great poem! I didn't expect Lin brother to be so eloquent, a true master of both literature and martial arts."

  I was suddenly ashamed, I had been so sarcastic to Master Sakura, but he didn't get angry at all. His temperament is far better than mine. It's really true that people can be compared, and it's suffocating. No matter how hard I try, it's useless, I'm no match for Master Sakura after all. I turned my head away, gazing at the deep river water, and fell silent, feeling a sudden pang of sourness in my heart.

  Lei Mengdao said, "The leader, now the Hunyuan Jiaoyu Sect is in trouble, and none of the nine major sects of Luoshengtian have come to their aid. Even a fool can see that there's something fishy going on inside. I'm guessing those guys from Luoshengtian won't try to use Mo Xiantian to deal with us Qingxutian, will they?"

  "Ding ding", Gongzi Sakura lightly plucked the pipa, interrupting Lei Meng's words: "Hai Wu Shen of Mai Jing Hai Dian is present, don't you think this remark is too impolite?"

  Lei Meng rubbed the back of his head awkwardly, and Hai Ji said bluntly: "It doesn't matter, the affairs of the Sea Temple have always been handled by my sister. I'm too lazy to care about the open and secret struggles between Luo Shengtian and Qingxu Tian. Lei Huofa is right, Luo Shengtian is willing to sacrifice the Hunyuan Jiaoyi Sect and hand over the Dacheng City to Moda Tian, he must have an ulterior motive."

  "So today's battle at Fragrant River, even the number one sect of the Great Bright Boundary, Luo Shengtian, has come. The purpose is nothing more than to see the strength of the Demon Master and whether it's worth the price they paid. It won't be long before a bloody storm sweeps through the Northern Territory, and there will be no peace."

  The young master's smile was like a sprinkle of cherry blossoms, his five fingers danced on the strings, and the pipa's sound was like a cold spring flowing over the mountains, clear and transparent. Gan Ning thought for a moment, then smiled and said: "Water flows without leaving any marks, one's heart is naturally elevated. I, Gan Ning, have learned from this."

  They went on and on, I was really fed up. What's the fight between Luo Shengtian and Qing Xutian got to do with me? Not interesting at all. Yawning, I said: "It's already midnight, are you going to sleep or not?"

  Gan Ning hesitated and said: "The Great Thousand City must be in chaos now, why don't we just camp here for the night? I haven't seen my master's brother for many years, and there are many things to talk about."

  I rolled my eyes: "You guys have a deep relationship, take your time chatting, I'll go cool off." I turned around and walked away, finding a nearby mound to block the wind, and lay down with my clothes on.

  Haiji caught up with me, looked at me a few times, and suddenly burst out laughing: "What's wrong, little rascal? I think you seem unhappy, your words have a big sour taste, did you knock over the vinegar jar?"

  My old face turned red: "You all go with Master Sakura. I'm a little rascal, you're all big shots."

  Hai Ji gazed at me for a while, then said softly: "Although you're a little rascal, in my eyes, you're a hundred times better than that noble Sakuragi. Whether your magic is strong or weak, whether your status is high or low, I don't care."

  I'm delighted, with a cheerful face I go to hug Hai Ji: "You're still the best to me. One kiss every day, today's is coming."

  Hai Ji laughed and patted away my demonic claws: "Don't be reckless, Gan Ningzhen and the others are just nearby." And jokingly said: "Actually, Gan Ningzhen is also good to you, it's just that you can't see it."

  I suddenly felt a pang of unease, turned over, rested my head on my arm, and closed my eyes. The sound of the waves came in waves, and before long, I fell asleep, and had an absurd dream.
