Chapter 260: Xiao Tang Has a Flexible Bottom Line
The Crimson Flame Demon was left stranded in mid-air, his chest gaping open and blood gushing out!
Damn, I got ambushed!
"Damn it, who is it?! It's..."
He was horrified and looked around to see which guy had launched the sneak attack. Then he saw a masked woman standing outside Yunxiang Tower. Her eyes were cold and clear, but it was those eyes that made the Crimson Flame Demon feel a piercing fear in his internal organs.
In an instant, the Crimson Flame Demon's rage was frozen.
Because that woman hadn't made a single move; what had wounded his body was a "sword intent" that he hadn't even noticed!
It was the sword intent that lingered around the woman, blending with the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, as if the woman and the sword were one!
"...Wait, something's not right."
A bead of cold sweat slowly trickled down the face of the Crimson Flame Demon.
Although he was a split soul, with this condensed physical body, the Crimson Flame Demon was now able to unleash the strength of the tenth level of the Mahayana stage.
Then he was injured by the sword intent, without even realizing the danger approaching.
So, what level of power is it that even a cultivator at the tenth level of Mahayana cultivation cannot perceive?
Need I say more?
He is absolutely a saint!
Moreover, he was an extremely powerful Saint, at least at the fifth level of Sainthood!
"Why, there's a female sword cultivator at the Saint level here?!" The Crimson Flame Demon was horrified. Without even thinking, he turned into a cloud of black smoke and quickly disappeared.
In Jiang Lingyun's perception, that guy escaped her spiritual perception range in just a few breaths.
"You know the truth."
She silently withdrew the sword intent surrounding her.
That guy was a bit strange. His soul was incomplete, and his body looked like it had been temporarily made. His movements were extremely stiff, and he didn't seem like a human at all.
No matter how strange it was, Jiang Lingyun didn't want to pay attention to it.
It's merely the tenth level of Mahayana Buddhism.
He can kill a level 10 Transcending Tribulation cultivator in one move, and I can also kill a level 10 Mahayana cultivator in one move.
Not afraid.
Jiang Lingyun sensed the aura of the nine-lived demon cat, then nimbly appeared before her, looking down at her. "Hmm?!"
Su Jinxi, her body aching all over, leaned against the wall and suddenly saw a woman appear in front of her.
This is the woman who just made a move, her sword intent causing the black-robed man to flee in disarray!
Strictly speaking, she saved herself.
But why?
To be able to slay a cultivator at the tenth level of the Mahayana stage, she must be at the Saint stage, and a Saint-level sword cultivator at that. Such a person is extremely rare in the world, and yet she actually appeared on the edge of the Eastern Frontier.
Just like Gu Heng appearing in this place, it also shocked her.
But Gu Heng lives in seclusion here, so what brings this woman here?
Su Jinxi became wary, leaning against the wall like a cat with its fur standing on end, staring at a ferocious animal she couldn't possibly defeat. Although this woman had saved her, it didn't earn Su Jinxi's trust; she only trusted Gu Heng.
"who are you?"
She squinted at Jiang Lingyun, her expression wary.
I won't say for now.
Jiang Lingyun looked at her and chuckled, "How strange, a nine-lived demon cat at the tenth level of the Tribulation Transcending Realm is actually in human territory."
Su Jinxi tensed up, poised to strike. "What do you want? To kill me and take my demon core?"
"No."
Jiang Lingyun shook her head. "Let's talk."
"Let's talk?" Su Jinxi raised an eyebrow.
"Well, come with me."
Jiang Lingyun turned and left.
Su Jinxi hesitated for a moment, then followed. She also had some questions that needed answering, and perhaps following them would provide those answers. In any case, this female sword cultivator hadn't harmed her before, and she wouldn't now either.
Since you want to talk, let's see what we can talk about.
……
Inside Yanjiang Pavilion.
Gu Heng stood by the window, looking at the capital city where the riots were gradually subsiding, and scratched his head.
"Why is there so much going on in this place lately?"
He turned around and said with a smile, "Alright, everything is fine outside. Whoever was fighting just now, it's all over now."
Upon hearing this, Bai Feier and Liu Yucai restrained their thoughts.
Not long ago, the four of them had just finished listening to Elder Xiao Tang play the flute and hadn't even had a chance to give him a good review when a strange thing happened outside!
Just then, Gu Heng's experience voucher expired, and all he could sense was that two powerful cultivators were fighting each other. One of them was knocked to the ground, and the other didn't chase after him but ran away.
From his perspective as an observer, it seems a bit anticlimactic.
The cultivators flew into the air and fought, creating special effects all over the floating clouds, which made Gu Heng really itch to join in.
Sigh, if he could cultivate, he'd definitely have that kind of visual effect too!
Unfortunately, although Gu Heng had a trial voucher that allowed him to become the strongest, it only lasted for a quarter of an hour, and he could only use the two basic skills given by the system, without any of the cool visual effects.
Gu Heng sighed with some regret.
Forget it.
Don't think about those unnecessary things.
If we complete the system's tasks, maybe we'll still have a chance.
The banquet was almost over. Although Elder Xiao was reluctant at first, he was very professional after going on stage and played two of his own flute pieces. It was a feast for both the ears and the stomach.
Xiao Tang has now put away the jade flute and stands to the side without saying a word.
There's a kind of composure in him, like that of an old artist.
"Miss Liu, thank you for your hospitality."
Gu Heng smiled and bowed in greeting.
Liu Yucai smiled and nodded, "Thank you for gracing me with your presence, Young Master Gu. However, whether we will meet again in the future depends on fate."
She was also to be taken back to Thousand Sound Valley.
It's a pity. They had originally planned to save it for tomorrow, to see Bai Feier sweep aside all her opponents and claim victory at the tournament arena—it was something they had agreed upon beforehand. "..."
Bai Feier mustered her courage and said to Xiao Tang, "Elder Xiao, could you allow Liu Yu to stay for one more day?"
Xiao Tang frowned.
"That's right. Xiaoyu and I have agreed that she will watch my battle at the Grand Martial Arts Arena tomorrow. It's just one more day. Qianyin Valley shouldn't be in such a hurry that she has to leave now, right?"
With Gu Heng around, she felt confident enough to speak like that, since Xiao Tang's previous attitude showed that he didn't take them seriously at all.
Then, he was slightly intimidated by Young Master Gu, and not only did his tone become humble, but he was even willing to go on stage to perform.
So, if I were to make this one more small request, I should...
It's not asking anyone to do something they shouldn't.
After all, the journey from the Sunflame Dynasty back to Thousand Sound Valley is so long that it cannot be accomplished in a single day.
Xiao Tang glanced at Liu Yu, then at Bai Feier, and finally at Gu Heng beside him with a friendly smile. He said in a deep voice, "Alright, but I hope you won't make things difficult for me."
"After all, I was just following orders."
Upon hearing this, Liu Yu's face lit up with joy, and she thanked Xiao Tang repeatedly.
Xiao Tang couldn't really accept the thanks, after all, it was all because of that young master Gu.
How can an arm twist a mountain?
Since you can't win against him, you'll have to use your flexible bottom line.
