Chapter 104

In other words, Feixiao's attitude was to leave Bai Jun no room to refuse or back down; whether he accepted or not, he was not going to escape a beating today.

"Don't talk like you can easily defeat me. You're making grand pronouncements, or you'll end up embarrassing yourself."

Seeing that Feixiao was not using his signature long-handled giant axe and spear blade, but was empty-handed, Bai Jun also threw his sword aside, slightly lowered his waist, and calmly stared ahead.

"You, Bai Jun, truly delight me!"

Feixiao knew that this was Bai Jun getting serious. She laughed heartily, then suddenly exerted force with her feet. With a sharp whistling sound, the distance between the two instantly closed. At the same time, her fist mercilessly struck Bai Jun's face.

With a muffled thud, Feixiao's fist was easily caught by Bai Jun with one hand, but neither of them showed any change in expression. They both knew that this was just a test before the real battle.

As expected, the two fought without any hesitation. The moment her fist was blocked, Feixiao's knee strike followed. She was proficient in all eighteen martial arts and never confined to any particular form when fighting. Swordsmanship, spearmanship, archery, and even fist techniques were all within her grasp.

Her unique fighting style lies in skillfully adapting her agile and swift body to quickly change her fighting tactics according to the battle situation.

With her slender, freely movable hands and feet, she could unleash her physical skills, which were refined to the extreme, without reservation. She could even easily shatter the fangs and face of a Nest Denfather- level Buli person.

In stark contrast to the intense and tense close-quarters combat that even kicked up dust in the training ground, Moze and Jiaoqiu, sitting in the spectator stands, looked as relaxed as if they were watching a movie they had seen countless times before, occasionally offering their comments.

"Does the general really have to use the guise of friendly sparring to bully Bai Jun?"

Moze sighed, feeling that the battle on the field might not last more than five minutes before ending in Bai Jun's classic crushing defeat.

"Calling it bullying is a bit harsh. I've heard that animals fight to establish dominance, and the same principle applies to males and females..."

"If you want to die, don't drag me down with you. We're not even acquainted."

Moze's eyes were icy cold. He could easily imagine the terrible consequences if Bai Jun heard these words. To protect himself, he decisively distanced himself from Jiaoqiu, who was smiling with a feather fan, and adopted an attitude that he had absolutely no connection with this person.

"Oh, what does it matter? They're locked in a fierce fight; they wouldn't possibly notice our casual chat..."

As Jiaoqiu was speaking, the situation on the field changed, and a figure was kicked away violently.

It's obvious without even thinking that Bai Jun... um?

Jiaoqiu's eyes, which had been narrowed to slits, widened to an unprecedented degree. Reflected in his pupils was clearly Feixiao's disheveled figure as he scrambled to his feet from the ground.

Although Moze didn't say anything, the emotion written on his face was even more shocking than that of Jiaoqiu.

Because he had just witnessed Fei Feixiao being sent flying by Bai Jun's spinning kick.

There's a saying...

"General, times have changed."

Bai Jun slightly raised his chin, mimicking the way Feixiao used to look down at him, and said.

"Ha! Not bad, it seems I really underestimated you, Bai Jun."

Feeling the earthy scent he hadn't tasted in so long, Feixiao recalled a joy that felt like humiliation.

She brushed the dust off her clothes somewhat awkwardly, but a strange smile crept onto her lips, "Looks like you've already learned how to use the power of the Flint Emperor... No, wait, it doesn't seem like the Flint Emperor... Heh, whatever, I'm getting serious now."

A long, cyan axe and a spear blade suddenly appeared in Feixiao's hand.

Bai Jun also picked up his sword from the ground.

--Ugh, she seems to have gotten angry, no, she's definitely furious!

Jiaoqiu and Moze, who were watching the battle, couldn't help but think of this sentence. As Feixiao's advisors, no one knew Feixiao better than the two of them. They could say with certainty that they had only seen her in this state before, on the battlefield.

Just as Moze and Jiaoqiu were hesitating about who should step forward to mediate the fight, what happened next made them both widen their eyes in astonishment.

The single-handled giant axe, capable of easily taking the head of an enemy, was already sweeping towards Bai Jun.

Almost instinctively, Bai Jun held his longsword horizontally in front of him, drawing a white streak in the air as it clashed fiercely with the giant axe that was attacking him.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Bai Jun retreated several meters, adjusted his posture in a short breath, and then suddenly exerted force with his feet, his entire body disappearing from the spot. In the blink of an eye, he instantly flashed in front of his opponent, and at the same time, he slashed out fiercely with his long sword.

If you only focus on Feixiao's giant axe and think that her fighting style is straightforward, fierce, and brutal, then you are mistaken, and it is a grave mistake that will inevitably come at a terrible price.

Imagine what a warrior clad in heavy armor and wielding a greatsword would look like, possessing the agility and dexterity of an assassin.

Different people may have different opinions on this, but it is undeniable that that person was absolutely stronger than imagined, especially on the battlefield, where he brought about an extreme and exaggerated crushing defeat.

Feixiao belongs to the category of people who are hundreds of times more exaggerated than that.

If I had to describe it, it would be a storm.

While effortlessly deflecting Bai Jun's attacks using her footwork and the blade of her gun, she danced gracefully, leaving trails of blue light with her giant axe. Her movements were so swift and agile that they didn't resemble fighting with a giant axe at all, but rather a guerrilla style using two daggers.

Zzz--!!!

The clash between the axe blade and the knife blade sparked a shower of sparks, briefly illuminating both of their faces.

There's a flaw.

As Feixiao's angry roar rang out, the sudden force applied to the blade caused Bai Jun to stagger.

The giant blue axe suddenly exerted force, deflecting Bai Jun's longsword while simultaneously turning the axe blade to slash straight at the wide-open throat.

With their energy and spirit focused on one line, their speed, accuracy, and ruthlessness were unmistakable.

However, the moment he swung the giant axe, Bai Jun's figure suddenly leaned back, rolling backward at an unimaginable speed. At the same time, he swung a slash, drawing an arc in the air that could take a life. This move, which combined evasion and counterattack, amazed Feixiao.

Not bad, but it still needs some work.

Without hesitation, Feixiao took a step forward, slightly turned his body, and the passing blade only grazed a few strands of hair. Then, with fluid movements, he twisted his wrist and raised the giant axe above his head, concentrating all his energy and spirit on the axe. Then, he suddenly exerted force from his waist.

The downward slash of blue light was fierce and vicious, instantly colliding with Bai Jun's counterattack.

The loud noise echoed through the space, and the impact from the blade made Bai Jun instinctively take several steps back, while Feixiao remained unscathed, without a speck of dust on him.

The difference in strength seems obvious, just as a musician appreciates a piece of music and a poet listens to a melody. In the flow of sword moves, a skilled swordsman will never leave any sluggish noises. The sound of the longsword dancing and the sound of the sharp edge cutting will all reveal the level of skill in the sword.

After a brief exchange, Feixiao gained a general understanding of Bai Jun's skill level.

"Not bad, it's rare for me to have a good time, but it's too rough around the edges and needs some polishing."

A smile appeared on Bai Jun's face, "Oh? That's hard to say..."

A sound so faint it was almost negligible, yet exceptionally clear to Feixiao's ears, rang out. Immediately afterward, a strand of silver hair was neatly and slowly cut off from Feixiao's cheek, falling to the ground through his deep blue eyes, which held a hint of astonishment and confusion.

Feixiao silently lowered her eyes. She knew that she had been at a disadvantage in the previous exchange, but what stirred in her heart was not disappointment or regret.

She curled the corners of her mouth into a smile.

"Come on, this is the final blow. Raise your knife and prove yourself to me. Let me see if you're truly 'qualified'!"

Feixiao's state of mind left Jiaoqiu completely stunned. What happened next made Jiaoqiu scream in terror, "General, what are you trying to do!?"

The sudden surge of blue storm on the field, roaring like a deep blue tsunami, converged on the giant axe Feixiao.

At first glance, it resembles a vortex of thunder, and the intense light it emits even gives the illusion that the giant axe has become thicker, as if the weapon is covered with layers of pure storm energy.

She leaned forward slightly, gathering her strength for the final sprint.

"Shouldn't you be the one proving yourself, now relegated to the role of challenger?"

Bai Jun raised the knife, his azure eyes tinged with a golden hue.

The "Sun" released from his left hand continuously flowed into the pale white blade.

The power that should have spread outwards was absorbed by the longsword, and greed continuously amplified its power.

Before long, the pale color of the blade faded completely, and unlike its previous dazzling light, it was replaced by an incandescent glow like the blazing sun.

Feixiao used all his physical strength and disappeared from the spot like a flash of light.

Surpassing all limits of speed, just as the name suggests, Feixiao is like a flashing, swiftly moving meteor, a storm sweeping across the battlefield.

On the battlefield, the Buli person, the Wingweaver, the Huiyin, and the Cobrakind descendants are no match for her. All enemies will turn into clouds of blood mist under her swift charge. She will never stop until she has cleared away all her enemies.

At least Jiaoqiu had never seen an enemy on the battlefield that could withstand Feixiao's offensive.

Even if Bai Jun becomes very strong, he still cannot withstand Feixiao's attack. Even if Feixiao does not use the power of "Flying Aureus", the destructive power caused by using only his physical strength is something that Bai Jun cannot withstand.

Upon witnessing this scene, not only Jiaoqiu felt the same way, but Moze also felt a pang of anxiety, unable to bear the sight of the tragic scene that was bound to unfold.

The next moment--

The giant axe, swirling with a blue storm, clashed with the longsword, gleaming with the light of the Sun.

What followed was an unprecedented shock, explosion, and a terrifying, earth-shattering sound.

This stalemate was broken in an instant.

The two weapons, both forged from the embers of the light arrows that the Aeon of The Hunt used to destroy stars, were undamaged. Instead, Feixiao and Bai Jun were both blasted away.

The entire Shence Mansion trembled violently under this attack; this was no exaggeration. Cracks appeared in the walls and the spectator stands, and the shattered ground kicked up clouds of dust.

Feixiao's feet plowed two shocking cracks in the ground until his back slammed into the wall and he stopped.

Bai Jun emerged from the shattered wall on the other side, amidst the flying dust and sand.

The two stood up at the same time. Although they seemed to be evenly matched, Feixiao took the initiative to admit, "I lost."

At first glance, the attack seemed evenly matched, but upon closer inspection, it became clear that the blazing white light, like the scorching sun, subtly suppressed the azure storm. However, at the last moment, Bai Jun deliberately deflected some of the force from his blade, which resulted in the seemingly even situation.

"You've gotten stronger. Without realizing it, you've already reached a point where you're on par with me."

However, Feixiao's exquisite and beautiful face showed no shame or anger. On the contrary, a relieved and contented smile appeared on her face, as if she had been freed from her predicament.

"No, it's a close contest."

Bai Jun shrugged, saying that, but his expression was so calm that he didn't look like he had just been through a fierce battle.

"That's enough, you two. Otherwise, my little temple can't withstand the divine might of you two great gods."

The windows on the second floor of the Shence Mansion had all shattered in the violent tremors. A languid white-haired man leaned against the window sill, pointed to the vicinity of the Shence Mansion, and advised with a hint of helplessness in his smile, "Besides, if the fighting continues, I'm afraid everyone in Exalting Sanctum will think that some terrifying enemy has attacked Luofu."

Looking in the direction Jing Yuan pointed.

All that could be seen were the Jiaoqiu Moze on the viewing platform, the Cloud Knights standing guard at the entrance, the Vanguard patrolling inside the Shence Mansion, Yukong Tingyun standing motionless in the corridor. Everyone who witnessed this scene was so shocked by the battle that they were speechless, and some even shrank back with fear on their faces.

Feixiao's gaze instantly locked onto the cyan Foxkin and the brown fox behind her. Especially after noticing Tingyun, Feixiao frowned with a strange expression.

"Sister Yukong, good afternoon! What brings you here?"

However, she didn't show any unusual behavior. As if she hadn't noticed Tingyun, she waved at Yukong and happily squinted her eyes.

"General Fei, General Feixiao... It's nothing, I just wanted to ask..."

Yukong finally recovered from her stunned expression, but when faced with Feixiao's question, she didn't know how to ask about her relationship with Bai Jun. She could only hesitate and stammer.

Feixiao looked at Tingyun Yun, who had teary eyes and looked aggrieved, her gaze constantly shifting between her and Bai Jun, as if she realized something.

--This little fox must have gotten Sister Yukong's backing for her, right?

It's naive to think you can compete with Sister Yukong. Besides, doesn't she know that there's no first come, first served when it comes to matters of the heart?

Furthermore, in terms of who arrived first, Feixiao was the first one there; all the other fox spirits had to step aside.

A cruel smile suddenly appeared on Feixiao's face.

"Oh right, Sister Yukong, I haven't introduced you yet, this is my sweetheart!"

She boldly embraced the stiff Bai Jun, and as if asserting her ownership, planted a kiss on his cheek.

Click--

Tingyun's heart shattered once again.

She let out a mournful "Awooo" like a fox and collapsed to the ground.

Besides the scattered Tingyun that had turned into stone statues and split open, there also seemed to be a blue fox.

P. S.: Oops, I'm late with the update again. This is actually an update from the 6th. Please forgive me.

Chapter 134 A Man Buried in Sin

When did this start?

His clear, bright pale golden eyes gradually became blurry and cloudy.

The compliments I used to receive, like "Doctor, your eyes are so beautiful," have somehow turned into suspicions like, "That smiling guy doesn't look like a good person."

Why has this handsome young man, who always presented himself with gentle features, transformed into this squinty-eyed man with ulterior motives?

Jiaoqiu thought to himself that it was probably the moment he decided to say goodbye to his master, family, and friends, and turn to the battlefield.

Born into a renowned family within the Alchemy Commission, he should have inherited his master's mantle, but his desire to join the Alchemy Commission ultimately clashed with Jiaoqiu's wish to heal the sick and save lives.

If you were to ask where physicians are most needed, it would undoubtedly be the battlefields where Yaoqing is fighting.

Between life and death, human life is of utmost importance. If he can save lives, it would be a fitting reward for the training he received from the Alchemy Commission.
