Chapter 486: Chapter 483 Sword Array
Chu Zhiyuan said, “Then there’s no need to ask.”
“…Still, let’s ask.” Qu Ying said.
Chu Zhiyuan chuckled lightly.
Shao Feng struggled to hold back his laughter.
Qu Ying turned to give him a sideways glance, then smiled at Chu Zhiyuan, “Between Miss Huang and Holy Daughter Xiao, who has the higher talent?”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “I thought you were going to ask who is more beautiful.”
“Of course, it’s Holy Daughter Xiao,” Qu Ying said.
“Well…” Shao Feng quickly said, “Senior Sister Huang’s beauty is not lacking either.”
Qu Ying gave him a sidelong glance, “Could Miss Huang possibly be the most beautiful in Yujing?”
Shao Feng said, “Senior Sister Huang probably wasn’t in Yujing City at that time.”
Qu Ying let out a scoff and shook her head.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Ruoling’s unparalleled beauty is truly unmatched.”
Qu Ying nodded eagerly.
Shao Feng was about to speak, but Qu Ying turned her head with a glare and said irritably, “Just shut up.”
Shao Feng reluctantly said, “Senior Sister Huang’s beauty truly is not lacking.”
“Have you ever seen Holy Daughter Xiao?” Qu Ying scoffed.
Almost moved to tears by this fool.
Just as he thought Huang Shiron was the most beautiful, wouldn’t the princely heir naturally think Xiao Ruoling was the most beautiful?
Moreover, Xiao Ruoling truly is remarkably beautiful, incomparable indeed.
But he is a princely heir and also a Great Grandmaster, so disputing this with him is asking for trouble.
“Well… no.” Shao Feng said helplessly, “I’ve always been on the mountain and couldn’t come to Yujing City.”
“Then that’s it!” Qu Ying scoffed, “If you haven’t seen her, what are you talking about? Just shut up, huh.”
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “It doesn’t matter if you haven’t seen. You’ll see her soon enough.”
Shao Feng was stunned, “Hmm—?”
Qu Ying quickly asked, “Princely Heir, will we see Holy Daughter Xiao?”
“Indeed.” Chu Zhiyuan nodded.
He smiled, and in the twilight, it appeared especially gentle.
Qu Ying asked, “When will we see Holy Daughter Xiao?”
Chu Zhiyuan looked ahead and smiled, “Very soon.”
His body started to accelerate, and the two of them had to give it all their might to keep pace.
“Bang bang bang bang…”
In the distance came dull thuds, like giant logs pounding against a city.
Streams of white-clad women were gracefully dancing, revolving around eight gray-clad middle-aged men.
The twelve white-clad women danced like butterflies, light and graceful.
The eight gray-clad men stood back to back, their palms like lightning, wild and domineering, the vigorous wind tearing at the dusk and the gentle breeze.
The twelve white-clad women wielded longswords, their sword light light and elegant, without a trace of smoke or fire.
The collision of sword tips and palms resulted in a series of dull thuds, soul-stirring.
This was the clash of Gang Qi.
The collision of Sword Gang and Hand Gang was like logs crashing; the vigorous wind swept up wild grass and dirt, sending it flying everywhere, yet unable to touch those within the field.
They had Gang Qi protecting them, the dust repelled, spreading out to form a cloud of smoke and dust.
Not far from this group stood two white-clad women, their figures elegant.
Both wore white veils, one’s eyes deep as the sea, inviting one to get lost within, the other’s eyes bright and charming.
The two women suddenly looked over.
The two women gracefully approached, like two floating white clouds, carrying a faint fragrance.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “Here to give me a surprise?”
“It was a sudden notion,” Xiao Ruoling smiled, biting her lip.
Her deep, captivating eyes swept over Qu Ying and Shao Feng, nodding lightly, then looked at Chu Zhiyuan, “I didn’t expect to run into you.”
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “It’s like a telepathic connection.”
“Just a coincidence,” Shen Hanyue said with a huff, “Senior Sister is preparing to open the manor here, especially for you.”
“Finally coming over?” Chu Zhiyuan smiled, “I’ve had no way to keep going over; this is better.”
He really wanted to go to Yao Yue Palace, but in Yujing City, he had to be constantly vigilant, finding himself in two places at once.
Xiao Ruoling coming over meant they could be together long term.
Xiao Ruoling said, “It’s actually to deal with the evil sect’s villains.”
Shen Hanyue huffed, “Enough, Senior Sister, saying this in front of us.”
“Shen!” Xiao Ruoling teased.
Shen Hanyue glanced at the wide-eyed Qu Ying and Shao Feng, suddenly realizing.
Chu Zhiyuan smiled and said, “This is Qu Ying from the Flying Sky Sect, Miss Qu, and Shao Feng from White Cloud Sword Palace, Gentleman Shao.”
“This is Xiao Ruoling, Shen Hanyue, the two Holy Daughters of Yao Yue Palace.”
“Qu Ying greets Holy Daughter Xiao and Holy Daughter Shen.”
“Shao Feng greets Holy Daughter Xiao and Holy Daughter Shen.”
Xiao Ruoling gently clasped her fist, “No need for formalities. How did you…?”
“Met halfway,” Chu Zhiyuan said, “I came out of the city to do a sweep and happened to run into them.”
Xiao Ruoling nodded lightly, “There are too many evil sect’s villains; it’s the third group we’ve run into along the way.”
Chu Zhiyuan looked toward the twelve white-clad young women, “These disciples’ sword array is quite fiery, … but missing something.”
“Missing what?” Shen Hanyue said, unwilling to concede, “They’ve been practicing the Spirit Butterfly Sword Formation for ten years.”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “That sword with a mole at the left corner of the mouth is too good; it needs a lighter sword.”
Shen Hanyue quickly said, “Meng Xiaoyue’s sword is a Treasure Sword.”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “Also, the one with a small scar on the forehead, her foot was injured, wasn’t it?”
“Ding Zhenling? Her foot was injured?” Shen Hanyue asked, puzzled, looking at Xiao Ruoling.
Xiao Ruoling nodded gently, “When she was in the Innate, she was bitten by a demon snake in the Secret Land, leaving a scar that never healed and always ached faintly.”
Chu Zhiyuan said, “These are the two spots hindering the smooth operation of the sword array.”
Xiao Ruoling drew her sword from her waist and tossed it to the twelve white-clad young women, “Meng Junior Sister, switch swords!”
Among the twelve white-clad women, one with a graceful figure, with a small mole beneath the left corner of her mouth, adding a hint of allure.
This young woman responded, taking the longsword and simultaneously tossing her original longsword.
The longsword shot through with an icy chill, caught by Xiao Ruoling with a raised hand.
Xiao Ruoling waved it lightly, causing the chill to spread, lowering the surrounding temperature by several degrees.
“Good sword.” Shao Feng praised.
He thought this sword should be no less than his Thousand Peak Sword.
The Thousand Peak Sword was the top-tier Treasure Sword, bestowed by his master.
“Oh, it’s indeed different now,” Shen Hanyue said, amazed.
When the alluring young woman switched swords, her sword posture slowed by three points.
But the operation of the entire sword array suddenly improved by three points.
The same three points, an individual’s three points versus the entire sword array’s three points, was a world of difference.
“Bang bang bang bang…” A flurry of dense thuds, and the eight gray-robed men were instantly sent flying.
They were crossed by sword light while in the air.
As they landed, their throats emitted a hissing whistle.
“Bang bang bang bang…” They struck the ground hard, blood splattering.
“Retreat.” A crisp voice rang out.
The twelve white-clad women gracefully drifted away, flying back to Xiao Ruoling’s side.
“Boom boom boom boom…”
Bursts of red mist exploded.
The ground trembled, leaving a deep pit behind.
Shao Feng clicked his tongue, “Jade and Stone Burning!”
Qu Ying also looked solemn.
They knew the evil sect’s villains’ Jade and Stone Burning was formidable, very astounding.
But it was the first time they witnessed it firsthand.
More astounding than they imagined.
