King of Hundred Victories Saber

Chapter 857 - 249: Cunning Schemes Defuse Crisis, Heroes Strike Down the Villains (Part 5)

Seeing the situation, Fu Anxing’s eyebrows shot up, a flash of ferocity glinted in her eyes. She executed the "Ghost Shadow Step," her figure ghostly, resembling a black shadow, elusive and unpredictable. Each step she took seemed to tread on air, utterly silent, as if she were a specter born of darkness.

The "Ghost Shadow Whip" in her hand swirled, making whooshing sounds, conjuring waves of black phantoms, like ferocious demons from Hell, baring their fangs and claws, terrifying and menacing.

She shouted charmingly, "You, Xie, if you’re truly a man, don’t skulk around like a rat. Fight me fair and square for a few rounds!" Her voice was crisp but carried a sharp edge, resonating in the open air.

However, Xie Wen’s Lightweight Technique was even more mystical. His form moved freely between Fu Anxing’s whip shadows, like a gentle breeze, soft yet hard to capture. Despite Fu Anxing’s vicious attacks, they always missed.

Xie Wen cleverly evaded while laughingly taunting, "Fu Anxing, your whip technique might be somewhat formidable, but in my eyes, it’s nothing special. If you want to harm me, you’re far from it! You old she-devil, all these years single, how pitiful. Why not heed my advice and retire from Jianghu early, don’t make a fool of yourself here!"

His words, filled with mockery, were like sharp blades stabbing directly at Fu Anxing’s sore spots.

Hearing this, Fu Anxing flew into a rage, steam rising from all seven orifices, her eyes glaring, anger almost bursting forth.

Inwardly, she gritted her teeth: "This Xie Wen is truly vile. If I don’t tear him to pieces today, I, Fu Anxing, vow not to live as a human!"

Yet, despite her overwhelming anger, facing Xie Wen’s exquisite Lightweight Technique, she was helpless, watching her attacks fail over and over. At this time, Xie Zhichuan stood aside, his gaze coldly fixed on Lin Wanqing. He noticed Lin Wanqing carrying a baby and calculated: "Hmph, with Lin Wanqing carrying a child, her movement must be restricted, making it much easier to kill her."

With this thought, his inner fury intensified. Previous plans had repeatedly failed, and pursuing Lin Wanqing led to his father Xie Luo Jia’s tragic death. He had long blamed Lin Wanqing for all his grievances.

Now, seeing Lin Wanqing having given birth to a son for Shi Feiyang, his jealousy burned fiercely.

He suddenly activated the Kunlun Flame Technique, and instantly, intense flames surrounded him, transforming him into a fiery figure.

The flames roared, emitting scorching heat, distorting the air, and vegetation turned to ash on the scorched ground. Holding his Long Sword, enveloped in flame, he unleashed the "Thirteen Life-taking Swords," the sword strikes fierce with blazing fire, like fiery dragons, rapidly attacking Lin Wanqing.

He roared, "Lin Wanqing, you shameless woman, willing to marry Shi Feiyang. Today is your death day! Prepare to die!" As his sword move "Green Peak Face Splitter" slashed out, the ground charred black, leaving deep scars, as if ravaged by an evil dragon.

Witnessing this, Lin Wanqing remained calm and composed, her expression serene as still water, as if Xie Zhichuan was nothing more than an insignificant ant.

She gently caressed the baby on her back, whispering softly, "Baby, don’t be afraid, mother is here, no one will harm you." Her voice was gentle yet firm, exuding maternal radiance. Toward Xie Zhichuan, she harbored deep disdain, her innate elegance and gentleness forging her calm in the face of strong enemies, crisis-induced tranquility long ingrained as her instinct.

Then, she seemingly casually plucked the zither strings, her fingers dancing lightly over them, as if playing a melodious tune.

Yet in reality, she was using the "Eternal Zither Method" to kill. Driven by her vigorous Inner Power, the strings crisscrossed instantly, forming an invisible net, steadily blocking Xie Zhichuan’s Thirteen Life-taking Swords.

Moreover, her zither sound seemed to possess magical power, stealthily entering Xie Zhichuan’s ears, disrupting his strikes.

The surface melody of the zither, while pleasant, concealed piercing harshness, like invisible small knives, cutting at Xie Zhichuan’s mind, agitating him, causing his sword moves to lose structure.

In an instant, zither strings clashed with sword blades, producing a crisp sound, akin to a thunderclap in the night sky, echoing through the air. The collision between strings and blades sparked blinding sparks. Lin Wanqing softly murmured to her son while focused on playing the zither, as if Xie Zhichuan didn’t exist.

Her movements on the zither became even faster, the strings producing rapid sounds, as if performing a victorious war hymn.

At this time, nearby, Shi Feiyang’s Bright Jade Technique radiated an extreme coldness, quietly spreading like an intangible force.

Under this chill’s suppression, Xie Zhichuan’s Kunlun Flame Technique couldn’t exert its heating effect. He felt the flames around him as if covered by an invisible ice layer, gradually losing their power, leaving him increasingly anxious and without solutions.

Shi Feiyang tidied up a group of Japanese pirates, leaving them in disarray.

He stood tall, like an unshakable mountain peak, his robe billowing in the wind, exuding the demeanor of a great hero.

At this moment, he slowly took out the "Five Poison Scripture," his gaze gentle as he looked at Lan Xiaodie, speaking softly, "Miss Lan, although the ’Five Poison Scripture’ is an extraordinary book, it requires a predestined person to practice. You, as a member of the Five Poison Sect, possess extraordinary talent. Should you return to the Five Poison Sect to focus on practicing this scripture, you may one day become a grandmaster. Previously, you allowed me to read this scripture, benefiting me greatly. Moreover, you secretly assisted me in helping the officers quell the rebellion, and I hold this friendship dear. Now, the Imperial Court is aware of this, and soon will send a Holy Decree to express gratitude for the collaboration of our Heroic Sakura Association and the Five Poison Sect in assisting the officers."
