Cut Down Beneath the Horse!

Facing the Red Tower woman with her ghostly movement technique, Duan Yun did not dare let down his guard in the slightest. His ordinary iron sword had already left its sheath, sweeping out two crescent-moon Sword Qis with a swish, swish.

The madwoman of the Red Tower stepped on empty air with both feet, as though invisible stairs hung in the sky, carrying her body in a ghostly dodge out of the way.

This was the Red Tower's lightness skill, a lightness skill that let one fly while fucking.

The two Sword Qis struck the wall, tearing two gashes through it as though it were paper.

During this time, although Duan Yun had traveled day and night, he had never stopped cultivating. The Jade Sword True Qi within him, fused with Lunar Essence, had grown ever purer, its power surpassing what it had once been.

Because along this journey, he had discovered that there were simply too many people on the little notebook who needed killing.

How could he not grow stronger?

Even Red Tower elders were deeply wary of Sword Qi with such power.

The young man who had greeted Duan Yun earlier hid in a corner, trembling as he cast Duan Yun a shocked look that said, So he isn't here just to freeload!

The Red Tower elder's throat had been pierced through. She knew she could not drag this out any longer.

Her body drifted ghostishly through the air at high frequency, making the curves of her chest rise and fall just as rapidly as she closed in on Duan Yun once more.

"Grasp Sparrow's Tail!"

Duan Yun did not hesitate at all. He unleashed his full firepower!

Pure Jade Sword True Qi spread open behind him, forming the dharma image of the White-Silk Jade Sword Immortal!

"Kill!"

The Jade Sword Immortal's many jade hands formed Sword Fingers and thrust forward!

Dozens of Jade Sword Finger Sword Qis shot toward the Red Tower elder like a violent storm!

No matter how swift or ghostly the Red Tower elder's movement technique was, she could not evade so many Sword Qis.

Bang bang bang!

More than ten holes appeared across her body, blood spraying everywhere.

At that moment, enduring the intense pain, she forcefully pushed both palms forward.

Howling palm wind carried her blood flying toward Duan Yun.

Duan Yun swept his sword!

Most of the blood was knocked aside, but a buzzing suddenly sounded in Duan Yun's ears.

The blood in the air transformed into countless tiny specks and pounced on him.

Duan Yun recalled the sight of the monk being corroded by blood, and immediately understood.

They were bugs!

This madwoman had raised these tiny flying insects in her blood!

The insects clung to the skin and, in an instant, burrowed into the flesh.

Only then did the Red Tower elder finally reveal a sinister smile at the corner of her lips.

Though that brat had suppressed her and even dealt her grave injuries, now that he had touched her blood bugs, he could only wait to be eaten clean to the bone!

The tiny blood bugs swarmed toward Duan Yun like maggots clinging to bone, drilling into his flesh and skin, bringing stabbing pain.

In everyone's eyes, Duan Yun was being swallowed by blood that seemed to have come alive.

This was bad!

The situation had taken a sharp turn for the worse!

Yet at that moment, a sheet of threadlike cold glints shot from Duan Yun's body, incomparably sharp.

"Body-Breaking Sword Qi!"

The tiny, ice-cold Sword Qis directly drowned and slaughtered the insects in the blood, just as Duan Yun had once slain mosquitoes in the wild.

Thus, the Red Tower elder's "blood" fell to the ground in scattered drops.

"How is that possible?!"

The child-faced, big-breasted Red Tower elder wore a stunned expression.

Body-Breaking Sword Qi had destroyed the blood bugs. Without pausing for even a moment, Duan Yun launched his counterattack!

Grasp Sparrow's Tail!

Jade Sword True Qi scattered forth, once again forming the dharma image of the Jade Sword Immortal.

Only this time, it was the Black-Silk Jade Sword Immortal.

"Kill!"

The Black-Silk Jade Sword Immortal's jade hands flowed and turned, firing Jade Sword Finger Sword Qi once again!

The Red Tower elder gritted her teeth and used her movement technique again, but this time, she was not so fortunate.

If the Sword Qis fired by the White-Silk Jade Sword Immortal before had been fierce straight lines, then the Sword Finger Qis now were bizarre arcs. Combined with her existing injuries, she was struck by more than twenty Sword Fingers while shifting sideways, nearly being shot into a sieve.

Caught up in the killing, Duan Yun shouted, "Kill!"

The black silk on the Black-Silk Jade Sword Immortal faded away, and in an instant she transformed into the graceful White-Silk Jade Sword Immortal.

But this time, Duan Yun did not form Sword Fingers. Instead, he gripped his iron sword and unleashed a Water-Moon Slash!

A phantom of Sword Qi appeared in the White-Silk Jade Sword Immortal's jade hands as well, slashing alongside Duan Yun!

Swish swish swish!

Ice-cold swordlight swept past like bolts of silk, turning the entire hall snow-bright.

The air filled with shrill sounds of tearing wind, the sounds left behind as the Sword Qis passed through.

"Ugh!"

The sharp Sword Qi passed directly through the Red Tower elder's body before cutting into the wall behind her, leaving clear sword marks.

The Red Tower elder's body remained floating in midair, her eyes filled with utter disbelief.

The next moment, with a thud, her body crashed heavily to the ground. She had been chopped into eight pieces—legs were legs, hands were hands, tits were tits.

Yet this child-faced, big-breasted Red Chamber Fairy did not die immediately. Instead, she said, "What kind of sword is this—"

Before she could finish, she dropped dead on the spot.

Seeing this, Duan Yun silently recited in his heart, Red Tower demoness -1.

Mm, he had taken another step toward killing them all.

Immediately afterward, the Red Chamber Fairy's flesh and blood began to squirm. The insects she had raised within her body were no longer restrained and were about to burst out.

Duan Yun stretched out his hand, and dense Sword Qi scattered forth like threads of rain, forming a mist of swords.

The blood bugs were completely shredded the moment they left the body.

After doing all this, Duan Yun stood where he was, his chest heaving violently as he exhaled like arrows.

Several places on his body had been scraped open, and one was even bleeding. It could be said that this was the most seriously injured he had been since mastering swordsmanship.

All of it had been caused by those blood bugs breaking through his flesh and burrowing inside.

Fortunately, he had been one move superior and had created the Body-Breaking Sword Qi, or his injuries would have been worse.

And after using Grasp Sparrow's Tail repeatedly, Duan Yun's expenditure was enormous as well. Both his hands trembled faintly from the strain.

All he could say was that this madwoman was formidable, to have driven him to this extent.

The room fell silent for a time. Everyone looked at Duan Yun as he stood there catching his breath, as though they were looking at a god.

Especially those fellow wanderers who had previously thought Duan Yun was not even qualified to freeload. Their faces had gone pale, and they did not know whether to run or stay, terrified that this great figure, Duan Yun, would hold these petty people's offenses against them and kill them all with a single point of his finger.

Even the One-Eyed Azure Dragon Monk, who had been strutting about in arrogance just moments before, lowered his proud head.

Both were dealing with evil demons and the Outer Dao, yet the gap between them was simply too vast!

Especially when he thought of how his "Demoness, I want you to aid my cultivation!" had backfired, his broad, thick face actually reddened in shame.

At this moment, Duan Yun finally caught his breath. He looked around and asked, "Um, who's in charge here? Come out and settle the bill."

Yes, he had completed the mission on the bounty notice. It was time to get paid.

Old Steward Lu's legs trembled as he shakily stepped forward and said, "Master is unconscious, and the eldest young master also fainted after falling while fleeing just now. Immortal sir, I fear you will have to wait."

Duan Yun always felt that being called "immortal sir" sounded like an insult, so he said, "Don't call me immortal sir. My name is Duan Yun. Just call me Young Hero Duan."

After today's battle, Young Hero Duan's reputation should rise another notch.

He could not let himself, a kindhearted model youth with five virtues, keep carrying around the title of "Demon Duan," could he?

"You serve food here, right? Has the cook fainted?" Duan Yun suddenly asked.

Old Steward Lu replied fearfully, "In reply to Young Hero, the cook has not fainted."

"Tell him to make some food. I'm hungry," Duan Yun said.

Yes, he was truly hungry.

That fight had taken a great deal out of him.

"Understood."

Old Steward Lu immediately made arrangements.

Only moments ago, Duan Yun had been locked in a life-and-death battle with a Red Tower demoness, dangers lurking at every turn. The One-Eyed Azure Dragon Monk, who had originally led the group, had still not even managed to get back up. Yet now, the Lu Estate was already bustling about preparing a meal, creating a surreal feeling, as though it were all a dream.

But the Red Tower elder, chopped into eight pieces on the floor, proved that this was not a dream but reality.

For a moment, everyone's gazes at Duan Yun became even more reverent.

What the hell kind of young hero was this? He was clearly a giant hero!
