"You make it sound as though I believe you."
Lin Xiao curled his lip. If she hadn't transferred all her power to him in one go, he wouldn't have believed her even if she had offered herself to him.
Still, he had to admit his luck was pretty good. Through a twist of fate, not only had a beauty thrown herself into his arms, but he had also gained a full Jiazi of pure internal power. In terms of internal power alone, he was now no weaker than a first-rate martial artist in the jianghu. His martial skills were simply lagging behind.
But that was no problem. With his attribute-point ability, once he obtained enough Potential Points to raise the Three Saber Techniques to mastery, they would barely suffice for now. Later, he could find a way to acquire more powerful martial arts.
At that moment, another urgent, powerful howl rang out from outside. Yang Sha urged her:
"Get dressed and prepare yourself."
He hurriedly helped her put on her tattered skirt, then quickly dressed himself as well. When he pulled up his pants, he saw the limp, bloodstained impressive member hanging between his legs and couldn't help laughing.
"People say pretty girls have good luck with pregnancy, but it seems men with big dicks have good luck too."
Looking up, he saw a large expanse of her breasts exposed again. He quickly helped her pull her clothes up to cover them, and she covered her mouth with a light laugh.
"You little vixen!"
Lin Xiao's heart grew hot as he recalled the exquisite sensation from earlier. If only they could do it again sometime soon.
After quickly tidying up, he followed Yin Sha's instructions and hid on a roof beam close to the door. She sat below, right in the blind spot by the entrance. Then, following her directions, he began circulating the Yin Sha Scripture to lure Yang Sha in.
What he had received through dual cultivation with Yin Sha was not merely power. A new internal cultivation method had appeared on his attribute panel—the Yin Sha Scripture. It was Two-Star Mid-Grade, with nine levels in total.
The sixty years of Yin Sha Scripture cultivation power belonged to the Yin Sha Maiden, accumulated through years of arduous practice. It was precisely at the seventh level of the Yin Sha Scripture, only two levels away from mastery.
In truth, the Yin Sha Maiden had already cultivated the Yin Sha Scripture to the eighth level. To reach the threshold of mastery at such a young age, her aptitude was truly exceptional. It was only because she had suffered severe injuries and her power had declined that she could transfer only seven levels to him.
Less than two seconds after he began circulating the Yin Sha Technique, Lin Xiao sensed a scorching aura rapidly approaching. Yang Sha had arrived.
Having been taught the Yin Sha Scripture by Yin Sha, Lin Xiao knew very well that Yang Sha was currently in a state of eruption. In this state, his power surged explosively, and the Great River Gang's experts could no longer stop him. But he would also suffer the torment of the Yang Sha flames and had to absorb Yin Sha's power to extinguish them.
Before long, Lin Xiao felt a furnace-like heat appear outside the house before rushing inside. His vision blurred, and he saw Yang Sha charge in, his hair and beard completely white.
The great expert was covered in wounds, yet his spirit remained vigorous. He looked completely different from the old man he had previously seen playing the erhu. His upper body was already bare, revealing flushed muscles and skin. A wave of heat struck his face—the aftereffect of the Yang Sha Scripture's eruption. If the flames were not extinguished, his skin would grow redder and hotter until he finally burned himself to death.
He seemed to be burning especially fiercely. Upon seeing Yin Sha, he reached out and shouted:
"Transfer your power to me."
But in the next second, he froze and roared:
"Bitch, where's your power?"
The Yin Sha Maiden quickly reached out and grabbed Yang Sha's arm. He suddenly shuddered and stiffened. The flushed skin around the arm she had seized slowly faded as she used the last remnant of her power to draw his attention, her gaze lifting toward the roof beam.
Lin Xiao understood. With his saber in hand, he leaped down soundlessly. His full Jiazi of pure internal power erupted, pouring in one furious surge into the steel saber as he slashed toward the back of Yang Sha's neck.
But Yang Sha's power was simply too great. Even with Yin Sha distracting him, he sensed the ambush and abruptly raised his head, striking out with a palm wrapped in scorching waves.
"Bang!"
A ring of air exploded. The wooden wall burst open, and Lin Xiao's entire body smashed through the roof like a torn sack, flying more than ten meters. Blood gushed from his mouth like a fountain, and he crashed heavily to the ground with a bang. The steel saber in his hand was already gone.
"This old man will kill you!"
Yang Sha roared furiously. A long-handled saber had hacked into the back of his head, its blade embedded in his flesh but not driven all the way through. Enraged beyond reason, he erupted with at least twice Lin Xiao's abundant Yang Sha Technique power and struck toward Lin Xiao as he fell again.
Just then, the Yin Sha Maiden gritted her teeth and punched Yang Sha in the crotch, making his body tilt. His surging internal power suddenly went out of control, causing his palm strike to miss. Lin Xiao, descending from above, seized the chance to slam a fist into the back of Yang Sha's head. His fist struck the steel saber embedded in the flesh, and his full Jiazi of pure internal power erupted, driving the blade completely inside with a single blow.
Yang Sha jolted violently. His whole body stiffened as he slowly turned his head, eyes bulging with rage. He spat out "Bitch," followed by a crisp crack. His neck twisted, his head drooped, and he fell heavily to his knees.
"Whew!"
He exhaled heavily, only to see the Yin Sha Maiden leap up and slap a palm against Yang Sha's chest. She was actually drawing out his remaining power.
A sharp glint flashed through Lin Xiao's eyes. He likewise raised his hand and struck Yang Sha's vital point at the lower back, circulating his technique at the same time. A scorching torrent of internal power surged toward him like a tide. The cold internal power in his body fused with the masculine power, instantly becoming one.
The Yin Sha Maiden raised her eyelids and glanced at him without speaking. She merely reminded him:
"Faster. That battle just now must have attracted the Great River Gang's attention. We need to change locations."
The two of them absorbed and extracted the power together, quickly draining Yang Sha completely. The Yin Sha Maiden's power had recovered to its previous state, while Lin Xiao had extracted another Jiazi of power, roughly equal to the cold internal power he already possessed. With the two merging together, his power instantly reached a full two Jiazi—equivalent to a hundred and twenty years of mixed Yin-Yang Twin Evils power.
"Damn, am I actually the legendary protagonist?"
Not only had he encountered the kind of fortuitous encounter found only in novels, but he had even picked up a beautiful young maiden along the way.
After all his power had been drained, Yang Sha became a shriveled old man. Yin Sha looked up at him with a complicated expression and extended her delicate hand.
"Take me with you."
Dense footsteps came from the distance. The Great River Gang members searching the area had heard the sounds of their battle and were rushing over.
Lin Xiao naturally reached out and took her small hand. They had just started walking when he suddenly stopped.
"Wait for me."
He pulled the saber from the back of Yang Sha's neck, chopped off his head in one stroke, and wrapped it in cloth. He also searched Yang Sha from head to toe and took everything he had, then took her hand again and soared into the air.
Before long, a group of people shoved open the door and charged inside. They froze upon seeing the headless corpse on the floor, then searched the entire little house. The leader looked troubled.
"They couldn't have gotten far. Chase them!"
Not long afterward, Su Youyu and Zhuang Jing also arrived. After seeing the corpse on the floor and examining it, Su Youyu said solemnly:
"It's Yang Sha, without a doubt. All his power is gone."
