A Good Kun's Peaceful Life

Bamboo Spring Sect sleeping quarters.

Liu Xuanye sat with her eyes closed, her picturesque face as calm as still water, without a ripple.

With a whistle, the sword arrived.

With a whistle, the sword departed.

Carrying the insights into the Sword Dao gained during her dual cultivation with Lu Ya, Liu Xuanye controlled her sword with her mind, fighting the Void Kun of the Nine Star Immortal Sect to a standstill from several miles away.

Although the spiritual pressure within her sword was slightly inferior, she relied on her peak sword techniques, superior intellect, and tactical flexibility to force the Void Kun into a series of mournful cries.

The Void Kun thrashed in the clouds in a rage, churning up wind and rain; lightning flashed and thunder rumbled, and a torrential downpour cascaded down like pillars onto the fields below.

A One Star Immortal Sect holding its own against a Nine Star?

Lu Ya was not surprised by this in the slightest.

He had witnessed Liu Xuanye's god-like swordsmanship.

Facing a Giant Kun that had yet to develop sentience, even with a massive gap in cultivation, she could use her sword techniques and tactics to maintain a stalemate without sustaining injury.

What surprised him was—

The Void Kun's massive tail had summoned a torrential downpour that was actually helping him irrigate his spiritual fields.

Good Kun, may you have a lifetime of peace!

As if it had heard Lu Ya's inner thoughts, the Void Kun suddenly let out a thunderous roar.

Tired of tangling with the sword rain, it swept its massive tail, churning up even more violent storms and thunder.

Braving the sword rain, it went on a rampage, forcibly flying toward Little Bamboo Spring Mountain!

A curtain of torrential rain.

It blotted out the sky and covered the sun.

Because the Void Kun kept rampaging, the wind and rain it stirred up grew increasingly intense, nearly turning into a natural disaster.

Liu Xuanye flashed onto the Sword Terrace, her left hand behind her back, her right hand controlling the sword from afar.

"Sword Net!"

The Three Thousand Sword Formation changed its formation in the blink of an eye.

The sword rain wove together in the air, quickly enveloping the Void Kun like a net.

Though it could not pierce the hide of the Void Kun.

She used the sword net to catch the giant beast, dragging its massive body into the airspace beyond the Floating Mountain to prevent the fields from being destroyed.

Fishing with a sword net?

Lu Ya thought to himself, you really are something else.

Thunderclouds rolled.

The Void Kun roared.

Even Liu Xuanye was beginning to struggle.

Fine beads of sweat seeped from her snow-white forehead.

Within her Immortal Platform, her surging sea of energy churned violently.

Above the black clouds.

Wine Fox Immortal and Golden Peng were locked in a fierce struggle, weaving back and forth through the dark clouds.

Light and shadow intertwined, immortal arts boomed, each sound shaking the Immortal Platforms of all those watching.

Although Wine Fox Immortal was at a disadvantage in cultivation, she fought with increasing vigor under the enhancement of Whirlpool Wine Illusion Sound.

It irritated Golden Peng to no end, and for a moment, he had no effective way to secure a quick victory.

"You mad woman—"

Golden Peng unfurled his black robes and beckoned with his right hand, summoning a massive, long shadow sword.

"Black Feather Mad Sword Curse!"

Wine Fox Immortal, fueled by her intoxication, did not show the slightest weakness.

"Three Waves of the Wine Sea!"

She waved her hand, scattering wine into the clouds, and instantly, waves surged, turning the sea of clouds into a sea of wine in the blink of an eye.

Wine Fox Immortal had fought to this point, holding out far longer than Lu Ya had expected.

But as the battle reached a stalemate, Wine Fox Immortal's injured body was nearing its limit.

The more strong liquor she drank to sustain her cultivation, the more severe the backlash from her wounds would become.

As time passed, she would inevitably fall into an irredeemable abyss!

However.

Lu Ya always felt there was still potential within her.

Indeed.

A moment later—

High above the front of the martial arts arena, a dazzling golden light erupted from within the rolling black clouds.

"Immortal Release!"

Following a thunderous roar from Wine Fox Immortal, a wildly intoxicated spiritual pressure surged like a tsunami, battering the cloud tops.

A giant three-tailed fox revealed its massive golden form amidst the clouds, looking just like a female version of Kurama!

In the martial arts arena.

The Beast Immortal cultivators held their breath, no longer as fearful as before, and even let out bursts of exclamation.

"Sect Master Liu and Senior Wine Fox are both so strong!"

Ning Zhongzi, however, furrowed her willow-leaf brows.

In the East Floating District, aside from a few Immortal Venerables, the Kunpeng Brothers were the strongest.

For over a thousand years, the two had rampaged through the major sects of the East Floating District like Gods and Devils; as long as they didn't run into them head-on, even Immortal Venerables could do nothing against them.

The Sect Master and Lady Wine Fox might be able to hold them off for a moment, but there was absolutely no chance of victory!

Why hadn't Senior Brother made a move yet?

Was he testing their limits?

Watching the giant golden fox burning its sea of qi madly in the clouds, Lu Ya was filled with admiration.

"She can still perform an Immortal Release after sustaining that kind of injury?"

Ning Zhongzi sighed softly:

"Do not underestimate her."

Lu Ya didn't quite understand.

Logically speaking, this woman had been forcibly dragged to bed by him; she should have been able to guess his strength—at the very least, he was a half-step Immortal Venerable, right?

Why was she still forcing a fight, even risking an Immortal Release?

Was it because he had ravaged her so badly that she wanted to regain some face?

But judging by those fiery fox eyes, which seemed to contain a burning rage, perhaps it was more than that.

Above the clouds.

The unprepared, reckless, and instantaneous berserk state allowed Wine Fox Immortal to seize the advantage for a moment.

She pinned Golden Peng's black-robed human form down and beat him relentlessly, attempting to kill him directly before he could undergo his beast transformation!

Unfortunately, she underestimated the defensive power of the Nine Star Immortal Sect.

Golden Peng was beaten until he was unrecognizable, his meridians severed and flesh flying everywhere.

Yet, his Immortal Platform and sea of qi remained completely undamaged!

He licked his lips, which were covered in black blood, and let out an arrogant, cold laugh.

"Do not forget, the human Immortal Release was learned from spirit beasts—Beast Release!"

Before the words had even faded.

That unrecognizable body instantly surged in size, quickly breaking free from the entanglement of Wine Fox Immortal's long tails.

In the blink of an eye, a pitch-black giant peng revealed a body as massive as a Kun in the clouds.

Its wings were like clouds hanging from the sky, stirring the firmament, spiraling upward, cutting through the clouds, and carrying the blue sky; with a single flap, it blew away the thick, heavy clouds.

Compared to its massive frame, Wine Fox Immortal's three-tailed giant fox seemed no larger than a pet.

Although Wine Fox Immortal's fox form was small, her blood-stained fox eyes were incredibly fiery, and her face was filled with ferocity.

Her three fox tails shot out, seemingly extending infinitely, and instantly coiled around Golden Peng's bird neck!

A sharp cry!

Golden Peng turned his head and yanked, bringing with it a piercing, explosive resonance that triggered a tsunami within Wine Fox Immortal's Immortal Platform, directly shattering her internal organs.

He sneered coldly:

"At a time like this, you still expect to win with such petty tricks? You still expect me to be arrogant and not attack your wounds? There is no such thing as a fair fight in this world! There is only fighting with one's life!"

Wine Fox Immortal spat out a mouthful of blood, nearly reverting to her human form, her three tails raised like a peacock's fan, her crimson fox eyes staring coldly at Golden Peng.

In an instant, the three tails bound together into a single bundle, transforming into an endless crimson sword that thrust toward Golden Peng's Immortal Platform.

At the same time.

The sharp bird eyes shifted, and Golden Peng's left claw suddenly struck out, seizing her throat in an instant.

The crimson tail-sword stopped abruptly, three feet away from the giant peng's Immortal Platform.

Golden Peng, however, had his single claw clamped firmly around Wine Fox Immortal's throat.

It was like a hawk seizing a chick.

The scene froze.

The outcome was decided.

Golden Peng fought until he was panting for breath.

"Wine Fox Immortal, you are strong. Had you not been injured, you might have been able to fight me, but today, you must die."

Lu Ya lifted his head slightly.

He had not expected this woman to be able to fight until this moment!

If she had challenged Golden Peng at full health, she might have truly pulled off a surprise victory. She was worthy of being called one of the Peerless Duo at East Floating Immortal Academy alongside Liu Xuanye.

However, she was reaching her limit.

It was a pity that her trump card had not been revealed.

Lu Ya slowly stood up.

In the air.

Golden Peng's technique was sharp, and his trash talk was equally relentless; he grew more valiant as he fought, and his words became increasingly provocative.

"Humans are nothing but tailless heretics. They abandoned their tails just as they abandoned their faith and dignity. Their greed is insatiable, and they stop at nothing to achieve their goals, even abandoning and murdering those closest to them!"

Within a pair of heaven-shaking giant eyes, coldness and heat intertwined, as if harboring the rage of thousands of years.

"Our battle today is not personal. You are merely a pitiful person who stood on the wrong side, a mantis blocking the rolling wheels of my Immortal Tail as we dominate the Immortal Realm—a trivial sacrifice!"

On the training grounds.

There was dead silence.

The Beast Immortal dared not look, as if they had returned to the fear once dominated by Golden Peng.

They were originally sect disciples or rogue immortals from the East Floating District, forcibly abducted by Golden Peng. Under the guise of freedom, he committed acts of tyranny, slaughtering humans and oppressing the Beast Immortal, leaving them to suffer both physical and spiritual torment.

They did not want to return to the past...

Perhaps, like Wine Fox Immortal, death was the only ending.

Golden Peng gripped Wine Fox Immortal with his left claw, holding her firmly in place.

He then raised the middle finger of his right claw, which resembled a giant sword, and thrust it toward Wine Fox Immortal's Immortal Platform.

Seeing that Lu Ya had yet to move, Ning Zhongzi grew fearful.

Does Senior Brother truly have a plan?

Muyu Feifei was so terrified her face turned pale, and she could not speak.

The gathered Beast Immortal had already closed their eyes.

Wine Fox Immortal was on the verge of death; her injured Immortal Platform could not even manage a self-detonation.

Three thousand sword lights connected into a sword net, churning through the clouds alongside the Void Kun.

A torrential rain roared down, as massive as pillars, as if the sky and sea were pouring onto the training grounds.

Lu Ya vanished from where he stood.
