A Baffling Bout
"Let's forget it. I'm only in the Nascent Soul Late Stage; I can't beat Miss Qingyi." Shen Ge refused without hesitation. He wasn't going to engage in such a pointless fight.
"Miss in Qingyi, if you want to beat me up, just say so. Why bother with this excuse of a competition?"
"Besides, this is your territory. Even if you beat me half to death, no one will say anything wrong." Seeing that the other party was still unwilling to give up, Shen Ge added.
That was a clever tactic of feigning retreat to advance. Upon hearing this, Qingyi abandoned her idea of a contest, since she couldn't very well force him to beat her up.
"Let's have a friendly spar, it's a form of exchange," Bai Wushuang said gently from the side. "Qingyi, go easy on her."
Upon hearing this, Shen Ge stared in disbelief at Bai Wushuang, who resembled a refined gentleman. He never expected him to say such a thing.
What does this mean? Is it punishment for sneaking in?
Before Shen Ge could think it through, a beam of Qingguang shot straight toward his face.
"Hey, stop! I don't want to fight!" Shen Ge shouted as he dodged.
"That's not up to you!" the Qingyi snorted, then launched a full-scale attack.
After dodging several times, Shen Ge realized he couldn't avoid it any longer and had no choice but to fight back. Since it was really going to be a fight, he wasn't going to just sit back and take it.
"Thousand Wind Plumes!"
As countless feather-like attacks came crashing down, Shen Ge spread his Sword Yi, and boundless Sword Intent soared into the sky. Then he raised his hand and pointed, and endless Sword Qi collided with the azure rain of light.
Although they were at a disadvantage, they managed to stop it.
"This person is quite strong. Although Sister Qingyi wasn't using her full strength, he's only at the Nascent Soul Late Stage," a little girl said to her companion.
"Look! Sister Qingyi's attack has been broken!" another little girl exclaimed.
"That person is in trouble; Sister Qingyi has completely let go."
Shen Ge, who was in the middle of the battle, also felt the pressure. This little girl may look small, but her attacks were really fierce, and her feathers were exceptionally sharp.
After several clashes, even with his physical body comparable to a magical Law Treasure and the Golden Light Incantation protecting him, Shen Ge couldn't help but feel waves of pain.
As expected of Demon Beast, its physical body is truly incomparable to that of ordinary people.
At this moment, apart from a few bruises on her hands, Shen Ge had no other injuries, except that her clothes looked a little torn.
Not far away, Qingyi licked the blue blood from the corner of his mouth, his eyes gleaming with Qingguang, looking somewhat excited.
She used to be quiet and gentle, but now she's full of fighting spirit. The change is too great; she's practically a different person.
"You are indeed very strong. It seems I really can't defeat you in my human form with a gun."
As she spoke, her figure blurred, and with a flash of Qingguang light, a giant claw, like a dragon reaching out, grabbed towards Shen Ge.
Shen Ge's face darkened upon seeing this. "Since you still won't give up, then don't blame me!"
Shen Ge raised his hand and waved it, and more than fifty Law Treasure appeared in the air. They all shone with precious light and launched an attack. Various dazzling attacks rained down on the Qingyi, creating an overwhelming force.
"How could there be... so many Law Treasure! No, he's cheating!" A girl, cheeks puffed out in anger, turned to Bai Wushuang and complained, "Mr. Bai, he's cheating! No one uses Law Treasure in a duel!"
"That's right, that's right, he cheated. He can't use so many Law Treasure." The other two chimed in.
However, Bai Wushuang remained calm and composed, as if it were none of her business.
Seeing the murderous glares from the little girls, he finally couldn't hold back and said, "This is indeed against the rules. But who can blame him for having so many Law Treasure? After all, Law Treasure are also part of one's strength."
"Don't even think about going up to help; it'll be embarrassing if word gets out that you're outnumbering someone."
Upon hearing this, the three little girls' eyes lit up, and they all transformed back into their original forms and charged in.
Suddenly, three more opponents appeared. Although they weren't at the Peak Nascent Soul, they were still all in the Nascent Soul Realm stage. This made Shen Ge a little flustered.
"You unruly and despicable scoundrel, take this Wind God Slash!"
"And me, behold my Azure Plume Storm!"
With to Spirit Severing controlling so many Law Treasure and dodging these seemingly ubiquitous attacks, Shen Ge gradually became overwhelmed.
After being struck by a wind blade, Shen Ge cried out in pain, "It's one thing for you to start the fight, but to go and... gang up on us, your Luan Bird Clan is truly domineering."
Shen Ge had just wanted to start cursing, but when he thought of the old monster next to him, especially one who still believed in Confucianism, he swallowed his anger.
Half an hour later, Shen Ge, who hadn't used his full strength, was ultimately no match for four hands, not to mention that these weren't just four hands, but eight arms, eight claws, and four sharp beaks!
After being pinned to the ground and beaten by these little girls, the outrageous fight finally came to an end.
At this moment, Shen Ge was lying in a deep pit, which was created by the group of girls punching him repeatedly.
Shen Ge is now covered in bruises; not only is his face swollen and bruised, but his robe has been reduced to rags, making him look utterly miserable.
However, that's only how it appears. In reality, he wasn't seriously injured. These minor injuries would heal in no time. But it really hurt. Those little girls' fists might look small, but each time they hit him, the force was no less than a small mountain suddenly crashing down.
After lying there for a while, Shen Ge was enveloped in a golden light, and all the bruises and discoloration disappeared. Even the small cuts he had made began to heal rapidly.
After changing his clothes, Shen Ge jumped in front of Bai Wushuang, his face full of anger, and said, "Mr. Bai, isn't it going too far to condone your student beating someone up!"
Bai Wushuang raised an eyebrow, his face still bearing that gentle smile, "Then what do you think, Fellow Daoist Shen? How about I ask their elders to come and apologize to you?"
If these little guys are this irritable, who knows how ruthless those old guys will be? So Shen Ge shook his head without even thinking.
"There's no need for that. It's just some of us younger folks playing around. There's no need to bother the elders."
"Hmph~"
Four cold snorts rang out almost simultaneously; they seemed to disapprove of Shen Ge's change of expression.
Shen Ge didn't dare face those powerful individuals, but he directly attacked the four of them with heavy blows. "What are you humming about? Now that the fight is over, we're even over what happened when I demanded your blood."
"Sister Qingyi, what should we do? My hands are itching again. Should we beat him up again?" The little girl with her hair in a bun at the far end clenched her fists tightly and looked at Shen Ge with gritted teeth.
Feeling a wave of malice enveloping him, Shen Ge suddenly smiled kindly and said to the girls, "Fellow Daoists, you're joking, you're joking. Please don't attack anymore, I really can't handle it."
