The Qingxu Sword Sect (Part One)
Zhuge Xiang was very strong. The Flower Picking Young Master, who was at the Third Layer of the Innate Realm, was defeated by him so easily. The fact that he had comprehended the Sword Intent made everyone present at Flower Full Building secretly shocked.
However, Zhuge Xiang was, after all, a single person, and his attitude was far too Zhang Kuang, provoking the wrath of the crowd. Although few could match Zhuge Xiang individually, after he sent the Flower Picking Young Master flying, more than a dozen Cultivator from Flower Full Building Zhuge Xiang stepped forward, staring intently at Zhuge Xiang, and said, "This young master is very strong, but even the strongest cannot prevail over reason. Injuring someone with a single move, don't you think that's going too far?"
"What? You want to join forces?" Seeing these dozen or so Cultivator step forward, the weakest of whom was at the Void Splitting Realm, Zhuge Xiang raised an eyebrow slightly, his fighting spirit soaring. Far from showing any sign of retreat or fear, he was even more fired up.
Zhuge Xiang wasn't afraid of someone making a move against him; in fact, he was quite pleased. What Zhuge Xiang feared most was no one bothering him.
"Joining forces to deal with you was not our original intention, but your behavior has been too arrogant, treating us as if we don't exist. We have no choice but to join forces today to teach you a lesson."
"Not bad, where did this wild brat come from? Does he think he can be arrogant just because he has a few powerful Magic Artifact?"
"No matter how strong you are, you're still just a person, and your cultivation is only at the Void Splitting Realm. Today, we'll teach you a lesson, you ill-mannered fellow."
Zhuge Xiang was very strong, and his Sword Intent was even Human Heart. However, in Flower Full Building, the Cultivator had been driven down by Zhuge Xiang were all filled with righteous indignation. Seeing so many like-minded people, they became even more arrogant and clamored.
Many of those ordinary people without cultivation were also prominent and wealthy individuals. Many of them shouted that as long as they could defeat Zhuge Xiang, they would cover all of Flower Full Building's expenses for the day.
More and more people were shouting, and the atmosphere was fully stirred up. Those who had no cultivation but had been forced to jump down the stairs by Zhuge Xiang's Void Splitting Slash and felt humiliated, and who couldn't rush up on their own, were throwing around money, promising all sorts of rewards after defeating Zhuge Xiang.
Zhuge Xiang, with the Sword of Slaughter in hand, exuded a blood-soaked killing intent. He was like a shark that had smelled blood, his eyes filled with chilling murderous intent as he coldly observed the commotion.
Beside her, Lady Liu looked extremely troubled. She kept trying to speak, attempting to stop them from making a move. But these people didn't take Lady Liu seriously at all.
Thump thump thump...
Just then, a series of hurried footsteps sounded. Zhuge Xiang looked up and saw a beautiful woman standing at the top of the stairs on the second floor. She had a serene and elegant demeanor. It was none other than Qin Qing.
If Lu Yuling's beauty is like a solitary moon in the sky, untouched by worldly concerns, then Qin Qing's beauty is like a verdant lotus, full of elegance.
"Zhuge Xiang..." Standing at the top of the stairs, Qin Qing saw Zhuge at a glance. Her eyes were filled with surprise and joy. She covered her cherry lips with her hand, and then, with a light step, she rushed into Zhuge Xiang's arms like a swallow returning to its nest. Zhuge Xiang had already opened his arms and hugged her.
"That's great! You're really alright. When I heard that your team was attacked by the Corpse King and almost wiped out, I thought..." Qin Qing hugged Zhuge Xiang tightly, as if afraid he would disappear, and said affectionately.
"Alright, stop acting like that, it's a bit pretentious. Your feelings for me aren't that deep yet," Zhuge Xiang said, gently patting Qin Qing's back.
Standing at the door, Zhuge Xiang heard a faint sadness in the melody, but it was very subtle. Yet, when Qin Qing saw him, it was as if the two of them had a world-shaking love affair. This was impossible.
Zhuge Xiang could sense that he had become Qin Qing's man, and that she had some feelings for him. At least she felt sad for him after learning of his encounter with the Corpse King, but Zhuge Xiang did not believe that she had a deep and unforgettable love for him.
Upon hearing Zhuge Xiang's words, Qin Qing stiffened slightly, lifted her head from Zhuge Xiang, and said with some grievance, "I've tried my best, I've tried so hard to fall in love with you, can't you hear it? Because of you, my music has improved."
"You bastard, at a time like this, you still have time to be all lovey-dovey."
Originally, these people were already planning to join forces due to their anger towards Zhuge Xiang. At this moment, seeing Qin Qing appear, they immediately rushed into Zhuge Xiang's arms. Their anger and jealousy burned fiercely. First and foremost, several Cultivators at the Void Splitting Realm attacked, unleashing fist energy, Blade Qi, and spear light fiercely towards Zhuge Xiang.
"Go back to your room first, prepare some food and wine. After I've dealt with these guys, I'll come and have my way with you," Zhuge Xiang whispered in Qin Qing's ear, seemingly oblivious to their attacks.
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhuge Xiang pushed Qin Qing aside, activated Eagle Eye Technique, and unleashed Ghostly Flash Steps, conjuring nine phantoms. Holding the Sword of Slaughter, he charged forward.
Nine phantoms, lifelike and indistinguishable from the real ones, caused chaos among the dozen or so Cultivator at the Void Splitting Realm. They charged forward to attack, only to pass right through the phantoms. This feeling of punching empty air was extremely uncomfortable. Zhuge Xiang's true form, with its cultivation fully unleashed, pounced like a hungry tiger on a sheep.
With his Qi Energy Bodyguard activated, his defensive capabilities greatly increased. Cultivator at the Void Splitting Realm could barely harm him, but the damage Zhuge Xiang inflicted on them was almost fatal.
Even without the enhancement of the Sword Intent State, Skill like Blood Thunder Slash and Void Splitting Slash alone are incredibly powerful.
Zhuge Xiang had been cultivating in Xiao Yue's Six Layered Illusory Destruction Realm for an unknown amount of time. In the sixth Illusionary Realm, he had to face thirty-two Demon Wolf of the same cultivation level. These dozen or so Cultivator at the Void Splitting Realm were not a big challenge for Zhuge Xiang. One by one, the Cultivator were Knockback by Zhuge Xiang, screaming and splattering blood.
Seeing Zhuge Xiang rampaging through the battlefield with nothing to worry about, Qin Qing felt relieved. She had someone prepare some side dishes from the kitchen and bring them to her room. She Lotus Steps returned to her room, though her face was slightly flushed. Although she was already Zhuge Xiang's woman, the fact that he had publicly said he wanted to sleep with her still made Qin Qing feel a little embarrassed.
As Zhuge Xiang one Cultivator after Cultivator at the Void Splitting Realm, the pressure on him lessened. In the time it takes to drink One Incense Stick of tea, the first Flower Full Building was a mess, filled with cries of pain and agony.
After this battle, Zhuge Xiang felt refreshed and invigorated. In total, these Cultivators had given Zhuge Xiang fifty to sixty thousand Experience Points, bringing him one step closer to the Void Splitting Realm Fifth Layer.
Sheathing his Sword of Slaughter, Zhuge Xiang casually took out ten low-grade Spirit Stones and handed them to Lady Liu as compensation for the broken items. He then looked at the Cultivator he had defeated and said, "If any of you are still dissatisfied, you can come find me anytime. I'm always ready to oblige."
After saying this, Zhuge Xiang turned around and walked upstairs at Flower Full Building.
However, at that very moment, a group of five people walked in from the entrance of Flower Full Building. They were all Brocade Sword Uniform and sword attire, Sword Qi was astonishing. The middle-aged man at the head of the group said to Zhuge Xiang, "Please wait a moment, sir. Zhen Yeming from the Qingxu Sword Sect." (To be continued...)
