Chapter 9 He is mine now
It was a group of women, nearly twenty in number, led by a nun with an icy expression, wearing a grey robe, her hair simply combed back over her shoulders, her eyes flashing with cold light, her right hand grasping a four-foot long sword, which although still sheathed, already seemed to emanate a chilling aura.
The girl behind her was about eighteen or nineteen years old, tall and slender, with a red mark on the center of her forehead, almond eyes and peach cheeks, wearing a pink and white dress, looking extremely beautiful and elegant, truly a peerless beauty.
The rest of the women were dressed differently, but they all had long swords hanging from their waists.
Chen Xiao took one glance and immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
A million grass mud horses galloped past in his heart.
If he wasn't mistaken, this group of people should be the most troublesome Emei Sect from "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber", led by that nun's name, which is absolutely notorious - Ni Ma, why did she bring people to run here? Are they not satisfied with the muddy water?!
He didn't say another word and turned his head back to walk away.
That's Extinction Sect's Shifu, absolutely can't be provoked!
But he didn't expect that just as he took two steps forward, a sudden dragon's roar echoed from behind him, and then his neck felt cold, with the blade of a completely black long sword already pressed against it.
A strand of hair floated down slowly and when it passed over the blade of that black long sword, a very faint "pa" sound was heard, and it broke into two pieces.
It's indeed the Sword of Heaven!
A cold, aged voice that sent shivers down one's spine as soon as it was heard slowly spoke up, "Just now, I heard someone say that Dongfang Bubai has appeared here, and he seems to have a rather big connection with a young person. I suppose that would be you?"
This is Extinction Master, mentioning her on Earth can even stop children from crying at night...
Feeling a chill on the back of his neck, Chen Xiao was covered in cold sweat, but still replied: "It's... me."
Mie Jue Shifu withdrew the Yitian Sword from her hand and coldly hummed: "You're quite honest. Zhi Ruo, give him the sword."
The beautiful girl behind the Extinction Sect's leader was precisely Zhou Zhiruo. The little girl hesitated for a moment, then slowly unsheathed the long sword from her waist and handed it to Chen Xiao, before retreating back again.
Looking at Chen Xiao taking the long sword, Mie Jue Shang Ni coldly said: "Little boy, demonic cult heretic, everyone can kill you. Now that you have a sword in your hand, go and fight with Dongfang Bubai for several rounds. If you die by her hands, it will also leave a good name for you. Otherwise, colluding with the demonic cult heretics will inevitably leave behind an eternal curse, stinking for ten thousand years!"
Chen Xiao looked at the long sword in his hand, then looked at Dongfang Bubai sitting there calmly, and Yilin with a worried expression on her face. Suddenly, he felt a chill run down his spine.
Does your old lady still need to manage who Lao Tzu makes friends with?
But in reality, there's really no other way.
What kind of world is this? It's the world of Jianghu. In this Jianghu, people value their reputation even more than their lives, and the more famous and powerful they are, the more so it is.
Mie Jue Shitai could say such words, Chen Xiao was not surprised at all.
This old woman is a extremist, someone who can't tolerate even the slightest bit of dissent. So as soon as she heard that Dongfang Bubai was here, she didn't care if it was convenient or not, and immediately brought people to kill him.
But calling himself to fight with Dongfang Bubai is clearly looking for death.
No need to, right behind is the Sword of Heaven, just a slight touch... Now it's hard to advance or retreat, really difficult to make a choice.
Yi Lin sat there, her hands and feet trembling with anxiety, and finally, after much effort, she plucked up the courage to say: "This senior, he...he doesn't know martial arts, and he really can't fight this...Miss Dongfang!"
"Shut up!"
Mie Jiu Shuai Ta's icy eyes glared at Yi Lin, instantly intimidating her into silence. Only then did she say: "When encountering a demonic cult's evil spawn, who cares about having or not having martial arts skills? Even if it means biting, one must bite off a piece of flesh! Youngster, why haven't you made your move yet?"
It's impossible to just sit back and do nothing, but if you don't take action, your life will be in danger, so you have to think of a way out.
Chen Xiao held a long sword in his hand and walked step by step towards the direction of Dongfang Bubai, until he reached the center of the hall. Suddenly, he drew out his sword and shouted loudly: "Look at my sword!" He grasped the sword and swung it wildly, looking like a Taoist priest driving away ghosts. In the end, he accidentally slashed himself on the leg with a "swish" sound, fell to the ground with a "thud", and couldn't get up for a long time, groaning "aiyo aiyo".
Looking at his clumsy appearance, Zhou Zhiruo, who was standing behind Mie Xing Shi, burst out laughing with a "heh" sound. Mie Xing Shi also shook her head in dismay and said: "Good-for-nothing, the ultimate good-for-nothing. Such a great opportunity to make a name for oneself has been missed, what a pity, what a pity."
She spoke from the heart.
If Chen Xiao really made a move against Dongfang Bubai, with his identity and status as Dongfang Bubai, he naturally wouldn't slaughter this ordinary person without martial arts skills. On the contrary, it would allow him to gain a beautiful reputation for not fearing evil forces. At that time, if Chen Xiao wanted to join any of the famous sects in the world, it would be easy as water flowing into a canal.
But unexpectedly, Chen Xiao deliberately slashed himself with a sword and gave up this opportunity.
Extinction Master's mind was racing with thoughts, while Eastern Unbeaten stood up and walked slowly to Chen Xiao's side, saying calmly: "Why didn't you attack me earlier? With your identity and martial arts skills, I wouldn't have really killed you. Instead, you missed the opportunity to make a name for yourself. Don't you think it's a pity?"
Chen Xiao lay on the ground, using his hands to press against the wound, although he was sweating profusely from the pain, but still smiled and said: "No need to regret it, what's there to regret? A man should stand tall and upright, never hitting the old, weak, sick, women or children. Besides, we have no grudges, why would I attack you?"
Dongfang Bubai asked: "She says I am a demonic cult's evil person, that anyone can kill me, what do you think?"
"What's that got to do with me? Have you ever harmed me? Cheated me? Do we have any deep grudges?"
He asked one sentence, Dongfang Bubai shook his head once.
In the end, Chen Xiao clapped his hands: "You see, we have no grudges or grievances between us. I don't want to lay a hand on you, but it's hard to disobey Master's orders. So, I can only take matters into my own hands and observe from the sidelines while pretending to be unaware of what's going on."
"Watching with cold eyes?"
Dongfang Bubai's mouth suddenly curved up slightly, and he chuckled lightly, almost making Chen Xiao stare blankly. He then nodded and said, "Alright, you can just watch from the sidelines then. Can you still stand up?"
"It hurts so much!"
Chen Xiao Tong was covered in cold sweat, his clothes were so wet they could be wrung out.
At this time, Yilin saw that the crisis was temporarily averted and hurried over to support Chen Xiao, who was much better off.
Dongfang Bubai turned around, looked at Mie Jue Shitai and coldly said: "Now that Chen Xiao doesn't lay a hand on me, I consider him my man. If you lay a hand on him, it's the same as laying a hand on me!"
"What's wrong with you... Ahh, it hurts, it hurts!"
Chen Xiao was still protesting when Dongfang Bubai had already transformed into a red shadow, moving at an incredible speed without making a single sound. He had already engaged in battle with Extinction Master, and the clashing sounds of their fight filled the air, almost becoming one continuous noise. In just two blinks of an eye, the red shadow flashed back to its original position, calm and composed.
Chen Xiao turned his head to look, but found that Mie Jue Shitai was actually somewhat disheveled on her side, with some of her hair scattered about. However, Dongfang Bubai's speed had been too fast just now, and the specific process of their exchange could not be seen clearly no matter what.
But Chen Xiao could still think of it with his feet, and just now Dongfang Bubai absolutely didn't use her full strength. Otherwise, with her ghostly speed, this Extinction Sect Master would have been knocked out long ago.
As expected, Dongfang Bubai clasped his hands behind his back and smiled faintly: "Mie Jue, you are not my match. If you beg for mercy now, I might spare your life."
Mie Jia Shang Ni fell into a disadvantage with just one move, but her face didn't show any fear. She raised her head and said: "Although I'm not your match, you think I'll surrender to you? Even if I lose, it's just death, what is there to be afraid of?"
As soon as she finished speaking, a burst of golden light exploded from her body, and Extinction Master's skin seemed to be covered with a layer of gold. The Heaven-Reliant Sword in her hand began to emit a faint sword aura, and with a loud explosion, the green bricks under her feet were crushed into powder. Extinction Master herself rushed towards Dongfang Bubai before she even arrived, her sword aura preceding her. The entire hall of Group Jade Garden was filled with the sound of tables and chairs being destroyed by the crisscrossing sword aura.
"Jiuyanggong?"
The Eastern Unbeaten let out a disdainful snort, transforming once again into a red shadow that welcomed the Exterminating Master. For a time, the "pounding" sounds were loud and chaotic, as two figures - one blue, one red - clashed in mid-air, exchanging countless blows. The red shadow's speed was at least twice that of the Exterminating Master's blue shadow. In the end, only a dull "boom" sound could be heard, as the Exterminating Master's entire body was sent flying outwards, soaring over ten meters before finally landing at the entrance to the Jade Garden, where she spat out a mouthful of blood with a loud "whoa".
The Eastern Unbeaten stood proudly in his original position, smiling lightly: "If the leader of the Ming Cult Zhang Wuji were to come, I could still yield three points. But relying on you, Exterminating, is probably not enough to watch. Let me ask one more question, do you admit defeat or not?"
