Capturing the Lady Alive, a Beauty in Distress

Wen Caishang had always looked down on the Four Taixin Four Heroes, secretly regretting not having fought back and pursued them with her life. Recalling her experience today, she couldn't help but show a sorrowful expression. "I plotted against Earthly Radiance, and now I'm reaping the bitter fruit of my actions. Every decision I made seems to have pushed me into the abyss."

"In this predicament, I fear I am truly doomed. It would be better for me to die, rather than be humiliated by them."

Suddenly he raised his long sword and slashed it straight at his neck.

Tiger, still seething with resentment and anger, was both delighted and terrified when he saw Wen Caishang about to commit suicide. He was delighted that this woman had finally reached a dead end, but terrified that Wen Caishang would die, and suddenly felt that life had lost its joy.

In a state of turmoil, he shouted, "Pounce on her!"

Ignoring the danger, she pounced, tiger and all, to snatch the sword. A glint flashed in Wen Caishang's eyes, her sorrowful expression vanished, and she coldly laughed, "You piece of trash! How could I, Wen Caishang, commit suicide? You underestimate me; you'll lose your life!"

He reversed the sword's edge, turning it into a killing move, and struck at the tiger.

At this moment, Wen Caishang's swordplay had lost all its Inner Qi, and its power was less than one-tenth of what it used to be. However, her sword strikes were cunning and exquisite, demonstrating the ability to break through with a single point and overcome force with skill. In addition, the White Snake Sword was incomparably sharp.

The tiger-man trembled with fear, cursing inwardly, "Witch, I've fallen for your trick again!" He used his "Iron Hand to Splitter the Stele-Splitting Iron Hand" to parry. His arms flashed with a dark light, as if they were made of black iron.

Wen Caishang sneered, her sword as nimble as a snake, dodging the iron hand, first severing the tiger's front claws, then slashing at his neck.

He smeared his face white, dressed like the disciples of Sword Rain Tower, and slung his sword in front of him. With the help of the twilight, he did indeed look quite similar.

It was already dark by then.

Zhejian thought to himself, "So, we came here to ambush them, and afterwards, we made a pact at Changdi, but Sword Rain Tower broke their promise. It seems the Sword-Hunting Alliance isn't entirely harmonious, with everyone acting without a plan." He then said, "Junior, you've misunderstood!"

"Ah! He's a bit too rough."

Zhejian feigned hesitation and anxiety. The Hound urged, cursing, "That coward! If he goes again, I'll chop him up!"

A perilous confrontation.

Blushing with embarrassment, she chimed in, "That scoundrel! How dare he touch you?! If he dares to touch you, you'll chop his hand off!"

Liao Ai said, "But that demonic man's methods are unpredictable, and he has a deep grudge against you. It is known that Zhi Cang has no tricks up his sleeve, and we will have to capture him slowly before the Dust Settled!"

"Cute!" Liao Aiyu wriggled her body.

His pupils trembled, his strength was completely gone, and he could no longer maintain his composure.

Zhejian said, "Bad figure, bad figure," and groped recklessly. Liao Aiyu was slightly annoyed, but she knew that Liao Ai had no intention of lowering their guard.

"In the end, you only trust yourself and judge others by your own standards, so your subconscious ignores the fact that someone might come to your rescue. Or rather... when you're in grave danger, you don't bother to consider whether you live or die."

She even deliberately acted out a scene with Zhejian, blending reality and fiction, her cheeks appearing white with a rosy glow.

"Before the deed is done, capturing Liao Aiyu alive would be a credit to him. Does he want to have his way with such a beauty?"

Wen Caishang frowned slightly, her joy turning into respect as Liao Ai spoke. But then she thought, "If what Zhejian said is true, then you... you really have hope!" Her heart pounded again.

They returned again, brazenly feigning resignation. Their hasty plan was riddled with flaws, yet someone still managed to see through it.

Liao Aiyu's chest heaved, his composure shattered. He was momentarily unsure whether the broken sword was an act or real, and a surge of anger rose within him. "Insolence! Does he want to die?!"

"How dare he!" Wen Caishang was furious, thinking, "Those two beasts have already treated you like their own, disposing of you at will. You... you... you really have some tricks up your sleeve now, could it be that you really intend to..."

Tiger's eyes flashed, and he muttered, "That woman is too formidable. Even if she can move, she's still not the best. That big guy came at the perfect time; let me tie him up and make you two scapegoats."

The Hound shouted, "Witch, watch your fingers!" He pointed with two fingers while riding his strange dog.

It turns out his thoughts were no different from those of a tiger. Wen Caishang, a peerless beauty, died in this way, which could certainly avenge her, but she still felt a sense of injustice and bitterness in her heart.

They pounced at the same time.

"Fellow juniors."

Zhejian said, "Sword Rain Tower has specially made a rope. Please, you two juniors, bind this man! Once this first step is completed, from now on, the Jianghu will have Lady Li Xian again, but without the Taixin Twin Heroes, their fame will resound throughout the seven directions and their might will be known far and wide."

When she was young, Wen Caishang's wrists and ankles were tightly bound, and the ropes around her body were sparse. She was picked up by Zhejian.

The swordsman paused, then said, "Hmph, that vixen, captured alive by two juniors, still dares to act tough with you? What if you touch her!"

With a swift movement of his sword and a quick snap of his rope, he swiftly and decisively bound and seized the target.

"Hahahaha!" the Hound said, "You naughty girl, you should have just said it. If he said he wanted to, you would actually think highly of him."

The seven men, including the tiger and the hound, nodded, feeling quite pleased with themselves. "Hmph, this Elder Su Qiuwu, he only offered his help when he was just a figurehead. In the end, it turns out a senior figure saw right through him."

The Deer died a gruesome death, the python had bones, and the tiger and Hound were on the verge of death. Wen Caishang was severely injured and unable to move.

During the fierce battle, Zhejian pretended to flee, running very close, but someone was still watching.

"To be honest, when you were in the Sword Rain Tower, you often heard the elders talk about the Seven Heroes of Taixin, but their evaluations were somewhat biased and prejudiced. After today, your impression of these two juniors was just so-so. But at this moment, the feat they have accomplished is enough to shatter all doubts!"

The seven men, including the dog and tiger, were captivated by the story, their blood boiling.

Zhe Jian dared not touch it, so he first threw the silkworm rope and wrapped it around Liao Aiyu's wrist. Wen Caishang thought angrily, "That guy is cautious. Could it be that he has already discovered the Ancestor Silkworm?" Then she was stunned and felt that her wrist was slippery, and the rope felt very much like a silkworm rope.

"Sword Rain Tower certainly had this intention, and I have always admired you, junior. Now that the thieving woman has been captured, the credit should belong to you, no matter what."

I laughed heartily, "Brother Tiger, you've been hit by your ' Marrow-Sealing Finger,' and you can no longer move. Hahaha, let's tie you up quickly so you can humiliate you to your heart's content!"

"A nobody in the Jianghu, who dares to look at me with respect?"

Liao Ai suddenly spoke, her voice high-pitched.

Zhejian said, "It seems you need to show him how powerful you are."

Zhejian straightened the rope, about to touch Wen Caishang. Suddenly, he saw her sleeve move again. Zhejian felt a chill run down his spine, nearly dying. "You appeared suddenly, even fooling the madam. You want to use this silkworm to bite you?"

"Hahaha, nothing to brag about." Tiger laughed heartily, "For the dignified Li Xian to have fallen to such a state is surely a delightful little affair!"

"Who!" The place was a complete mess, a truly horrific scene.

Yet it has the ability to kill anyone.

After a moment, the Hound laughed with delight, "How wicked! How wicked! All your efforts to capture him were in vain. The dignified Lady Liao Ai has actually been captured alive by your seven brothers!"

Wen Caishang narrowed her eyes slightly, her gaze even as she flicked the White Snake Sword. The sword suddenly grew several feet long, piercing Hu Zheye. After completing that move, her eyebrows furrowed, her face turning ashen, but she felt a lightness in her shoulders and could no longer move her body.

Your bones, acupoints, and meridians are all imbued with a very weak Inner Qi, binding you in place and preventing you from moving. You know how to release your fingers, but your Inner Qi is completely depleted, yet you still manage to unleash it.

Wen Caishang, who had been standing still, trembled violently, but felt greatly helped. Zhejian sighed, "Madam is also human; when faced with dire straits, she will naturally feel fear."

"You wicked villain, you're trying to capture me alive!" Wen Caishang was furious, gritting her teeth as she cursed, "You're asking for death!" Taking advantage of her still being able to move freely, she swung her sword back and stabbed.

"Oh no, oh no!" the two exclaimed happily.

Wen Caishang had no Inner Qi left, and with her injuries, she was already struggling to cope. When two fingers struck her shoulder, her arms immediately went numb and weak. She felt a weak Inner Qi flow into her whole body, blocking her acupoints and sealing her meridians.

The tiger had both legs severed and was dead, so it could only walk on its hands and knees, standing upside down. The Hound a ruptured heart meridian, its injuries were gruesome, and it staggered along.

Zhejian said, "You vixen, he has no special abilities and now he must obey orders!"

The seven men, initially resolute, saw Wen Caishang's fearful expression and knew it was all an act. They nodded and smiled, "Let's go!"

Zhejian, hidden in the shadows, had been observing for a long time. The seven fought fiercely, with horrific casualties. They completely forgot who they were.

Zhejian said, "You are a disciple of Sword Rain Tower, Lin Li."

Zhejian said, "That's bad, then you go." He held Silkworm Silk. Hu Zhe laughed, "You'll have to see his skill. Be extremely careful; you must bind this demon man so tightly he can't move."

"Sword Rain Tower would never dare to lay a finger on this!"

"What he said makes no sense!" said the tiger.

Wen Caishang could turn around, and the broken sword was right in front of you, so you could see it. You cursed angrily, "That bastard, if he dares to touch you, you'll kill him on the spot!"

Wen Caishang was both angry and ashamed. She was used to wearing silk clothes, but being captured was a first for her. She felt humiliated and helpless. She still had her former demeanor, but also a unique charm.

The tiger and the Hound were slightly pleased and thought to themselves, "Brother Deer and Brother Python died a worthy death."

Zhejian said, "You two juniors, that demonic man isn't properly bound yet."

He shouted, "Young Master, wait a moment!"

Tiger said angrily, "A bunch of bastards, claiming to come and help, but I didn't even see a shadow of them. You and your seven brothers fought to the death, and now they want to steal the spoils? They've got a chance!"

He then said, "Sir, go and tie this woman up."

Zhejian said, "The two juniors seem to be seriously injured. There's a small town ahead. Would you like to go into the town first and find an inn to rest?"

"Hmph, that wicked man, shouldn't we let him go out and harm people?"

"Let him go. Tie that wicked woman up tightly. Once you two brothers have had your fun, you'll naturally give her a chance to have some fun too."

"Pooh!"

Liao Ai carried Wen Caishang and walked behind.

"When the time comes, the younger generation will have their fill of this man. After you two have had your fill, I hope you will offer some soup so that the younger brother can also enjoy it."

Wen Caishang angrily said, "He... bastard! Villain!" Although you know it's an act, you do feel that the broken sword is out of your control at this moment. Your reaction is partly acting and partly real.

Liao Ai hurriedly replied, "It was a secret from you two juniors, but... I really wanted to."

"These seven men, Tiger and Dog, are clever but reckless; it's only natural that they were deceived by you. But you, Madam, are wise and cunning..."

Zhejian said, "You should do your best." He then hurried away.

"They call each other brothers, but I can tell their relationship isn't very deep," Zhejian thought to himself.

"Junior Lin Li hereby offers his congratulations to the seven of you. Before today, your fame will surely spread far and wide!"

Tiger laughed loudly, "There are no Seven Heroes of Taixin yet. From now on, there are only the Taixin Twin Heroes!"

With a soft "plop," it pierced through my chest, severing my heart meridian, but the Inner Qi within killed me. The Hound managed to escape, narrowly escaping death, and felt no lingering fear.

Zhe Jian thought to himself, "First, you should impersonate a disciple of Sword Rain Tower. If you can fool them, that's the worst-case scenario. If you're exposed, then we'll devise another plan."

Then it dawned on him. "You've calmed down now, and even thought of that detail. That servant from Sword Rain Tower was actually Broken Sword in disguise!"

You suppressed your murderous intent, your heart wavering, and the Ancestor Silkworm retreated into your sleeve. Liao Ai already knew that the two had recognized each other. The seven bystanders were watching intently, but it was all a trick. The broken sword was used to bind and seize you, pinning your hands to your back and tying your wrists together.
