I began to understand the myriad things by chopping wood

bang——

A loud bang was heard, and a towering tree that was as thick as ten people could hug slowly fell down. The sound of it hitting the ground was like the wailing of an ancient spirit.

Xie Yuan dodged the light that was about to cut down the ancient tree with a nimble move, and flipped over to the top of another tree crown. He turned his head and looked at the axe-wielding figure not far behind him with a serious expression.

The sun sets and rises again, and seven days have passed.

Ji Xuan pursued relentlessly and never gave up for even a moment.

Originally, Xie Yuan had left him far behind, but with the help of the Sky Hidden Technique and the advantage of distance, few people in the world could find him.

However, for some reason, as long as Xie Yuan pulled away from him, Ji Xuan would always be able to catch up at a very fast speed in a nearly straight line. No matter how Xie Yuan tried to confuse him or mislead him, it was of no use.

After the third day, Xie Yuan finally realized that Ji Xuan must be holding some magic weapon that could lock onto his position.

Maybe something had happened in the teleportation array, or maybe there were other ways. In any case, Xie Yuan didn't notice it for a while, but he couldn't escape Ji Xuan's pursuit.

"Master Xie, aren't you tired after running for so long?"

Ji Xuan's cold voice sounded behind him.

Feeling a fierce aura approaching rapidly, Xie Yuan jumped up and avoided the light.

boom--

Another ancient tree was cut down.

Xie Yuan changed a tree and said:

"Thank you for your concern, Master Ji. I am not very tired. But I don't know why Master Ji insists on pursuing me. Don't you find it boring?"

"We can chase them like this for ten days and ten nights. Our competition isn't over yet, so let's just consider it a test of endurance."

Ji Xuan's calm voice sounded:
"Any prey I set my sights on has never escaped."

Xie Yuan frowned slightly and pondered for a moment.

For seven days, they did not run out of the primeval forest.

It’s not that this mountain range is vast and boundless, although it is indeed a huge mountain range, but it’s mainly about the two of them circling in it.

Because Xie Yuan felt that once there was no cover from the woods, Ji Xuan would catch up to him immediately, and then they would have to fight.

Logically speaking, this place was already very far away from where they came from, but Xie Yuan always had a sense of uneasiness, as if there would be hidden dangers as soon as he started fighting with him.

This feeling did not come solely from Ji Xuan's own strength, as if there was some danger behind him.

Could it be the Ji family's guardian elder or something like that? That doesn't seem like his character.

Xie Yuan had a vague premonition of the effects brought about by the mastery of the Tianyin Technique, even though he was not yet a master.

But this premonition was vague after all, and Xie Yuan had never been able to determine its source.

Therefore, even though he was really annoyed by being chased by Ji Xuan, he still didn't dare to stop and fight him. He could only fight and retreat, and the fight lasted for so long.

Over the past seven days, the two men have destroyed countless thousand-year-old trees in the primeval forest, and even many rare animals, natural treasures, and other natural resources were destroyed in the aftermath of their attack.

Deep in this sparsely populated forest, there were even rare monsters that were not common in the outside world. However, the monsters here were far inferior to the real monsters in the Ten Thousand Monsters Mountain. In the outside world where the spiritual energy of heaven and earth was thin, the strongest tiger monster seemed to have barely reached the Qi and Blood Transformation Stage. It was affected by the battle between the two and died before it could react.

It's a pity that the monster beasts that have finally absorbed the essence of the sun and the moon, the essence of the world, can grow to this level in this era. It is estimated that they would have the qualifications of a great monster in ancient times. But when they encounter a fight between powerful people, passing by is a great disaster. It's time and fate.

This is not the way to go...

Xie Yuan frowned.

Ji Xuan was such a stubborn person. It was clear that he did not have any deep hatred against him, and he was not the kind of person who would go all out for doctrine and affairs and wanted to kill the head of the Xie family.

He did it for his own practice. Once he made up his mind, he would never give up and would not stop until he defeated me to prove his strength.

Especially after he deceived him with the Heavenly Illusion Technique, Xie Yuan clearly felt that Ji Xuan was determined to catch up with him.

The so-called path of becoming an invincible strongman is itself a very extreme and difficult path. Such a person will not tolerate any flaws in his or her record.

If he succeeds, not only those at the same level, but also those at a higher level may not be his match under his invincible momentum.

But if you encounter obstacles, they are roadblocks that must be overcome and removed on the road.

To Ji Xuan, this was probably a mortal enemy.

Xie Yuan took a breath, it seemed that he had to fight this battle.

In that case, let's fight it quickly and decisively.

Xie Yuan moved quickly through the woods with a spear in hand, leaping left and right on the towering ancient trees from time to time, gradually rising higher to avoid the attacks coming from behind.

After dodging another huge axe blade, he rushed straight to a big tree, then stomped up and down on the trunk as wide as a city wall, and then suddenly jumped high, flipped over, and then swung out his spear!
The attack and defense changed instantly, and the shadow of the gun fell from the sky like blue lightning, directly striking Ji Xuan!
Ji Xuan's eyes flashed with a gleam of light, and he swung the sharp axe upwards without hesitation, directly chopping out an axe light that was no less powerful than the gun shadow, and rushed forward head-on.

boom--

A huge shock wave spread out, and the surrounding ancient trees began to sway.

The bright golden and blue light illuminated the dark woods like an explosion of flames.

Amidst the flames, Xie Yuan's figure suddenly fell from the sky, and a spear stabbed towards Ji Xuan's head like a dragon emerging from fire.

Ji Xuan's expression was calm. He raised the small-looking woodcutting axe upwards and it collided with the tip of Xie Yuan's gun.

The enormous force was transmitted to Xie Yuan's hand. Xie Yuan felt a numbness in the palm of his hand and once again felt Ji Xuan's powerful strength.

However, his eyes were deep, and the golden river flowing slowly in his body was ready to go. Five layers of waves suddenly rose on the wide river, each layer higher than the last, forming huge waves on the hundred-foot-wide river!

Ji Xuan felt the layers of power of the Dajinhe Gong, and the first three songs were not surprising.

However, the further he went on, the more serious his expression became, and finally he was so surprised that his arms began to tremble.

With a loud bang, Ji Xuan couldn't bear it anymore and was blown away by the eleventh level of the Great Golden River Skill. He crashed heavily into the trunk of an ancient tree and his body was deeply embedded in it!

Xie Yuan took advantage of the situation and took a step forward with the Cloud Dragon Step, almost immediately following Ji Xuan as he rushed into the tree.

The roars broke out continuously, like frying beans, and accumulated into an incomparably high-pitched sound.

When many small animals nearby heard this sound that pierced the sky, their eyes rolled back, blood came out of their ears and noses, and they were instantly killed by the shock.

Light and energy continued to burst out from the human-shaped hole created by the collision of the tree, like flames gushing out of the hole. The ancient tree trembled a few times, cracks spread rapidly, and then gradually fell down.

With a bang, the two of them entangled and broke out from the wall behind the tree trunk, and then crashed through countless ancient trees in succession, turning into a human-shaped sharp arrow in the forest, unstoppable.

Xie Yuan's spear pressed tightly against Ji Xuan's axe, moving forward and backward, in a stalemate.

The two men's faces were close, staring at each other.

This was the first time Xie Yuan had used his full strength since his inner energy broke through the limit, except for the time he killed two demon geniuses with a single axe on the Holy Mountain.

However, that time it was just one axe, but this time he had already used countless moves in the blink of an eye.

Xie Yuan's skills have improved even more than when he was in the Holy Mountain. He has fully exploded and used the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear to its full potential, gaining the upper hand over Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan looked at Xie Yuan, his surprise gradually faded and he understood.

"It turns out that your inner strength has reached this level, higher than mine. No wonder, no wonder."

Ji Xuan nodded.

Seeing that he could still speak so calmly when the two were in a stalemate, Xie Yuan was suddenly startled.

"Patriarch Xie really didn't disappoint me. Now it's my turn. Please taste it, Patriarch Xie."

After Ji Xuan said this, the axe in his hand shone brightly with golden light.

Xie Yuan felt an extremely dangerous feeling in his heart. He put away his gun instantly, froze in his tracks, and distanced himself from Ji Xuan who was still retreating.

Ji Xuan fell over and stepped heavily on a big tree. Then he raised his axe and stared at Xie Yuan with his eyes, his shadow reflected in his pupils.

Time seemed to stand still for a moment, and then Ji Xuan stepped hard and broke the tree directly. He flew up suddenly, holding the axe in both hands, and chopped towards Xie Yuan!

"Mountain opening style!"

Xie Yuan's eyes blurred, and he felt that Ji Xuan seemed to have turned into a giant in golden armor, and the axe in his hand became even bigger, like the giant axe that splits mountains in mythology, chopping towards the tiny himself.

What a powerful axe! Not to mention a master at the third level of Qi and Blood Transformation, even an ordinary master may not be able to withstand this move!
Xie Yuan looked stern, but he had no way to avoid the huge axe.

The blood jade ring on his hand suddenly began to flow, the blood boiled, and a red light shield formed in front of him.

Behind the light shield is a brilliant golden light shield, with heat rising.

Xie Yuan set up two layers of defense, then swung his spear, infusing all his strength and the fifth layer of internal energy, and stabbed fiercely at the huge axe!

The extremely dazzling golden light and the azure blue light collided with each other.

The world suddenly became quiet.

A circle of light slowly spread out, and the surrounding ancient trees all trembled violently after touching the light, and then fell backwards silently.

The power of this halo lasted to a distance of twenty feet, completely beyond the range of the battle in the Qi and Blood Transformation Realm.

It seemed like a long time had passed before the earth-shaking explosion and the sound of countless ancient trees falling down were heard.

Rumbling--

Xie Yuan's knuckles exploded at the same time, and a stream of blood gushed out.

He took a step back, his body swayed, not only did the two light shields in front of him shatter, but even several pieces of protective equipment on his body began to crack.

The pressure of resisting this blow was quite great, but Xie Yuan still managed to stand firm.

Ji Xuan looked at Xie Yuan who had withstood the attack without paying too much of a price, and a strange look flashed in his eyes.

However, he did not give Xie Yuan a chance to rest. The short-handled axe took advantage of his agility and suddenly turned into an afterimage. Then it returned to its original position and was raised above his head, giving people the illusion that he had not moved.

But at this moment, Ji Xuan raised the axe and swung it like a woodpecker countless times, each move was aimed at Xie Yuan's face.

Facing this unprecedented high-speed axe strike, Xie Yuan's mind was instantly focused to the extreme, as if the time around him had slowed down and the only thing in his eyes was the trajectory of the axe.

ding ding ding-

The sound of popping beans rang out again. Xie Yuan's dragon soul was like a wind and fire wheel, blocking the axe blade just right every time. The only price was that the wound on the tiger's mouth opened wider, and blood spilled along the dragon soul to the surroundings, forming a blood-colored barrier.

After blocking this series of axe strikes, Ji Xuan's axe was ready to strike again, and then golden light rose in front of Xie Yuan's eyes like the rising sun.

"Mountain opening style!"

At this moment, the giant axe of the god exploded right in front of him. Xie Yuan felt a great sense of alarm in his heart. He shouted angrily, and the blood in the ring surged into his arms.

The dragon soul froze for a moment, and then shot out as if it had disappeared into the world.

The sky and the earth darkened, the golden axe approached, and the dragon soul broke through a line in the golden light.

bang——

Xie Yuan's whole body trembled, and he was knocked back by the axe, his feet plowing long tracks on the ground.

He bent his knees slightly, turned his spear, and pressed it hard on the ground, plowing out a third deep pit. After more than ten feet, he finally stopped steadily, his face slightly pale.

Just now, a pendant on his body exploded completely, and the heart-protecting mirror that Xie Yi had given him to save his life flashed, helping to bear a lot of pressure.

Even so, Xie Yuan still suffered some minor injuries.

However, Ji Xuan's violent attack also came to a halt.

After being hit by Xie Yuan's all-out Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear Killing Move, Ji Xuan's arms felt numb. He quietly exerted his strength for a long while before finally regaining consciousness.

He calmly picked up the axe and moved it for a while, then slowly walked towards Xie Yuan step by step.

“Master Xie is indeed stronger than I thought.

"It's also much stronger than the one created in the illusion."

Xie Yuan stood with his gun in hand and smiled slightly:
"As long as Master Ji likes it."

Ji Xuan's face was slightly gloomy. He had claimed that he would not lose to those at the same level in any method, but he was thoroughly teased by Xie Yuan, which made him feel deeply ashamed.

Xie Yuan watched Ji Xuan approaching step by step with all his strength, the top-level Xuan weapon in his hand once again condensed light, and his eyes narrowed slightly.

The attack that could be called a killing move was used by Ji Xuan as if it were free.

The two had been fighting for seven days. Xie Yuan's energy was endless thanks to his extremely powerful Grandmaster-level Great Golden River Technique, and his spirit and state were still fine.
Ji Xuan, however, showed no signs of fatigue. It seemed that he had no shortcomings in terms of martial arts, talent or physique. The inner energy and blood in the perfect transformation state complemented each other, and the inside and outside were the same, and there was no end to his vitality.

This is truly the strongest enemy of the same level that Xie Yuan has ever encountered.

Even among the many masters he had encountered, Deng Wan was definitely no match for Ji Xuan, and if Yao Yilong were to fight to the death, Xie Yuan also doubted that he would be Ji Xuan's opponent.

Xie Yuan has already mobilized the blood energy in the Xie family patriarch's ring, and his current blood energy level is equivalent to the peak of the third transformation realm.

Before, he didn't need to use this method because he relied on the grandmaster-level Dajinhe Gong. Ji Xuan was the first opponent who forced him to use his full strength.

However, due to the help of magic weapons and the disadvantages of his own martial arts, even though he has improved the quality of his blood and qi many times, compared with Ji Xuan who is obviously practicing the most advanced fundamental method, Xie Yuan's blood and qi realm is still at a considerable disadvantage, but the gap is not that big.

His advantage lies in his limit-breaking internal energy. However, Ji Xuan's inner and outer qualities are perfect, and the power he exerts is that the sum of one and one is greater than two, while Xie Yuan's inner and outer imbalance is somewhat constrained, and his advantage cannot be fully highlighted and transformed into a crushing victory.

In terms of martial arts, Xie Yuan's proficiency in the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear was better than Ji Xuan's fighting skills, but he only learned the first move, and the killing power was not enough. His previous advantage was also not converted into victory in one go, and was forcibly reversed by Ji Xuan's extremely powerful axe method, which had the highest killing power among all weapons.

The two men have been fighting for so long and both have suffered minor injuries.

After all the calculations, they turned out to be equally matched opponents.

Facing Ji Xuan, who had almost no weaknesses, Xie Yuan's weaknesses were exposed. He suffered a bit of a disadvantage in the head-on fight, and had to make up for it with his strong internal energy.

If you really want to win, you have to rely on your own strengths.

Xie Yuan thought for a moment, his mind racing, and decided that he could not delay any longer.

He looked at Ji Xuan, whose momentum was gradually rising and taller than the surrounding trees, and made a move that was unexpected to his opponent.

Xie Yuan stuck his spear directly into the ground next to him and then drew his sword.

Ji Xuan raised his eyebrows slightly:

"Oh? So Patriarch Xie's swordsmanship is even better than his spearmanship?"

He pondered in his heart, Xie Yuan's swordsmanship might be superb, but to say that he has mastered a swordsmanship that is more powerful than the Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear... there is no such thing in this world.

The effect that his skilled swordsmanship and the slightly clumsy Burning Heaven and Destroying Dao Spear could achieve was at best equal. It seemed that he had run out of tricks.

Ji Xuan suddenly felt a little regretful.

It was finally coming to an end, just like the end of a good book, and Ji Xuan was quite reluctant to let it go.

He was about to speak, but his lips paused, his eyes fixed slightly, watching Xie Yuan transform the long sword into a big axe.

Ji Xuan took a closer look at the wonder of the Hundred Transformation Mysterious Weapon, but he was more surprised that Xie Yuan turned it into an axe. He couldn't help but ask curiously:
"Master Xie, you actually use an axe as well?"

He showed some interest.

The battle situation on the Holy Mountain should not be leaked to outsiders, but in fact, as long as you have a certain status, you can find out.

With Ji Xuan's identity, Xie Yuan's tactics and information, he could get a detailed report whenever he wanted.

But he disdained this. Even though Xie Yuan had exposed a lot on the Holy Mountain, he didn't see anything and wanted to measure his opponent by himself.

So when Ji Xuan saw Xie Yuan take out an axe, he was quite surprised, and also a little surprised to meet someone with the same hobby.

Xie Yuan tightened the axe in his hand, seeing the fallen giant trees on the ground and feeling the dense forests around him, he became eager to make some moves.

"Only a little."

Ji Xuan was a little disappointed, but he didn't think Xie Yuan would have such high attainments in this area.

Or even if they have some unique tricks, even if they have been practicing for a long time, can they be his opponent?

The Ji family's most important skill is the axe technique, which was passed down from ancient times and learned from the legendary leader. In the current inheritance, no one is better at using the axe than the Ji family.

Ji Xuan shook his head and said calmly:

"In any case, since Lord Xie wants to fight me with an axe, that is worthy of respect."

He seemed to appreciate it quite a bit. After all, the axe was a relatively unpopular weapon among warriors, especially among the masters, where it was almost extinct.

He slowly lowered the axe and held it in his backhand grip:
"In that case, Patriarch Xie, I will use my strongest attack to send you to your death. Although you are not a master, after this battle, I think I can break through."

Ji Xuan's lumberjack axe glowed with a bright golden light, but in an instant the light became so bright that it was impossible to look directly at it.

"The Kaishan style is not my unique skill, please take this move from me.

"Breaking-the-sky-style!"

Ji Xuan swung the felling axe suddenly, and it swung in a semicircle from bottom to top, cutting out a golden axe blade that was ten feet high!

Looking at the huge and unavoidable axe blade that broke through the air, broke through the ground, cut deep grooves all the way and came towards him, Xie Yuan had already grasped the Xuanhua axe in both hands, waiting quietly.

The axe has not yet arrived, but the cold wind has already arrived.

The hurricane-like wind pressure and momentum caused Xie Yuan's clothes to flutter up and down, and his whole body felt slightly stinging.

But this did not stop Xie Yuan from swinging his axe.

Xie Yuan held the axe with both hands and took a deep breath.

The surging blood and energy, and the raging internal energy, were all sucked up by this breath and poured into the axe blade.

An extremely deep black light condensed on the axe blade. The pure black color absorbed all the light. The dazzling golden light could not illuminate such an axe blade at all.

Looking at the huge golden axe light coming towards him, Xie Yuan was ready to go.

Destroy thousands of troops!
The axe blade traced a mysterious trajectory, slashing out horizontally and vertically almost at the same time.

A huge black cross appeared silently, heading towards the golden axe light.

Ji Xuan's pupils suddenly shrank. Looking at Xie Yuan swinging the axe and the axe blade, his expression changed drastically for the first time.

He watched helplessly as the terrifying and silent black light hit his axe.

Time seemed to stop at this moment. Everything was quiet except for the slight crackling sound of two axes clashing against each other.

Little by little, the black cross eroded and embedded the golden axe blade, and then broke it.

Ji Xuan's pupils reflected the outcome of the battle. He watched helplessly as the black light cut off his most powerful attack, which he was proud of, with a look of disbelief on his face.

But before he could feel any shock, his whole body became dark.

Although the black cross had been weakened to the extreme after breaking through the golden light, the remaining axe intent was still deep and frightening, and it attacked Ji Xuan.

He trembled all over, and layers of brilliant light suddenly lit up on his body. The emptiness after delivering the strongest blow was covered by the treasure.

Rumbling--

Continuous explosions were heard, and a seemingly insignificant black light hit the layers of shields with unstoppable force.

Ji Xuan was thrown away by the explosion and vomited a mouthful of red blood in mid-air, which evaporated into smoke before it hit the ground.

He struggled to turn over, fell to the ground, staggered, and barely kept himself up with his hands.

With a face as pale as a sheet of paper, Ji Xuan looked at Xie Yuan with a look of shock, and said in a lost voice:
"How do you know how to use an axe like this?"

Xie Yuan looked at Ji Xuan, whose aura was constantly fluctuating and in a state of embarrassment, and said calmly:

"You can do it, but I can't?"

"The Sky-breaking Style is a secret teaching within the sect. How can an outsider practice it?"

"This is not the Sky-breaking Style."

The Breaking Heaven Style is not as good as his advanced Breaking Thousands of Armies Style, and practice is enough to prove it.

Ji Xuan frowned tightly and looked at Xie Yuan with a changing expression:
"No! You know the Heaven-shattering Style, and... you have mastered it to perfection."

His mind was full of doubts.

Why does Xie Yuan know the Breaking Heaven Style?

There was definitely a shadow of the sky-breaking attack in that blow!
It would be fine if he just knew how to do it, but what was more important was his mastery of the axe technique.

Ji Xuan, who had been immersed in it for a long time, could see at a glance that Xie Yuan's mastery of the Breaking Heaven Style was even better than his own!

How can this be?

It was obvious that he was the rare genius in the family, and his learning of axe skills was improving by leaps and bounds. The elders all praised him, claiming that he was like the spirit of their ancestor or the reincarnation of the leader. No one in the same clan and realm, or even in the sect, had been more talented than him in this art in the past hundred years.

But Ji Xuan could see that Xie Yuan's axe skills were almost perfect.

The axe was swung out like the visualization diagrams and teaching scrolls left by the ancestors, without a single unnecessary detail, and every swing and chop was miraculous.

At that moment, Ji Xuan almost thought that it was his ancestor who was demonstrating it in front of him.

"how is this possible?"

Ji Xuan muttered to himself the question that he had thought about countless times.

He didn't believe that there was anyone at the same level with better axe skills than himself, and he even less believed that anyone could be as perfect as his ancestors had demonstrated.

Xie Yuan didn't know what he was mumbling.

It took a lot of energy for him to deliver such a powerful blow.

After fighting with Ji Xuan for so many days, and having fought countless battles, even though Xie Yuan's Great Golden River skill was inexhaustible, his energy was running low at this time.

Glancing at Ji Xuan, Xie Yuan's eyes became stern.

Although the blow severely injured the opponent, it failed to kill him.

If he charged forward again and mustered up the remaining courage, he could defeat this strongest enemy in his life.

But Xie Yuan was not going to argue with her anymore. He was troubled by an inexplicable uneasiness.

Anyway, this guy shouldn't have the energy to pursue me anymore, so the trouble is solved.

Xie Yuan turned around, put away his spear and axe, and floated away.

"Wait a moment!"

Ji Xuan was startled when he saw Xie Yuan's actions.

He shouted and swung the axe again.

The dim golden light was no different from the energy emitted by an ordinary Transformation Realm cultivator. It slowly and barely caught up with Xie Yuan's footsteps, like a powerless middle-aged man. It fell to the ground with a thud, creating a shallow pit that was not even as deep as the one made by Xie Yuan's footsteps.

Of course, it’s good enough to be able to publish it.

Xie Yuan didn't even try to dodge, and kept walking, but he still turned around to glance at Ji Xuan, whose face was still full of resentment and shock.

He saw that Ji Xuan's expression suddenly became gloomy and resolute.

With a frown, Xie Yuan suddenly felt the aura behind him begin to fluctuate. Ji Xuan, who was already very weak, seemed to have begun to gain strength and his temperament was gradually changing.

What is he doing?
Xie Yuan's expression suddenly became serious. This guy actually came to his senses?
Still can't get over it?
Even have to break through the realm to defeat yourself!

Xie Yuan suddenly stopped walking, turned around and rushed towards Ji Xuan.

We can’t let him break through!

Although Ji Xuan's condition was so unstable at the moment, it would not be much better after a breakthrough, and such a breakthrough would bring some hidden dangers to him whose path was originally perfect.

But if he really breaks through to the Grandmaster level, Xie Yuan, whose condition is also much worse than before, probably won't have any chance!
This guy really can't stand losing at all, he's so paranoid!

He would rather risk his future to win this battle, what a madman.

Killing intent flashed in Xie Yuan's eyes, and he was ready to kill Ji Xuan first, regardless of everything.

However, when Xie Yuan had just pounced halfway, he saw that Ji Xuan's momentum suddenly stopped rising.

Then, Ji Xuan, with disheveled hair and looking like a madman, suddenly turned his head and looked at the hillside next to him.

The surrounding forest had been cleared out by the battle between the two men. The trees were broken, revealing a cliff that was facing away from the sunlight.

While Xie Yuan was on guard against his opponent, he turned around and looked at Ji Xuan.

The devastated battlefield deep in the mountains was very quiet. The breeze blew through the woods, making a slight rustling sound.

Apart from Xie Yuan and Ji Xuan, there seemed to be no one else, and no other insects or birds chirping.

It was eerily quiet.

Suddenly, the sound of laughter was heard on the quiet hillside.

There seemed to be several young women talking behind the hill, as if in the backyard of a mansion, laughing and playing, approaching quickly.

When the laughter and noise were close at hand, the noise suddenly stopped.

The forest returned to silence, as if everything that had just happened was just an illusion.

Just a few more moments.

Suddenly, several graceful and pretty figures appeared out of nowhere on the hillside.

The shadow was facing away from the sun, so only the outline could be seen. However, the ups and downs, peaks and valleys, and graceful curves of that outline made people's mouths dry.

The shadows had different postures, standing gracefully on the cliff, but each showed their most beautiful and graceful side. Even if they were just shadows, they were already dazzling.

More importantly, although the details could not be seen clearly because the sun was shining behind them, it was clear that the women were only wearing thin gauze, and it seemed that there was nothing underneath.

Just seeing these pretty figures, Xie Yuan's already somewhat exhausted blood began to circulate faster, and his blood and energy surged.

Xie Yuan instantly became alert and suppressed the blood and energy that was forcefully flowing.

"Hee hee~"

The shadow standing in the front let out a soft laugh, his voice was soft and charming:

"Two young masters, why are you fighting here?"

The sound was soft and rustling. It was just one sentence, but it seemed to get into the ears, like a feather gently playing with them, making people feel numb and weak.

Obviously, the woman who spoke and her sisters are top beauties just by looking at their postures and listening to their voices, without having to look at their faces.

However, Ji Xuan's face was dark and very ugly.

"Baxuannu...what are you doing here?"

Ji Xuan said coldly.

The leader covered his mouth and chuckled:
"Master Ji really doesn't understand romance. In the deep mountains and old forests, how can the good brothers be so fierce when they meet us sisters?"

"Yes, Master Ji, we are a few weak women. What should we do if we encounter tigers, leopards, bears, and strong bandits here?"

"Master Ji, I am wearing too little and I feel a little cold."

"Master Ji, there is no one else here. No matter what you do, no one else will know."

"Why don't we settle down here and enjoy the peace and quiet of family time..."

"Master Ji..."

Eight pretty girls spoke one after another, and all kinds of voices and words simultaneously drilled into Ji Xuan's ears, like devilish sounds filling his brain.

In an instant, Ji Xuan's face turned pale, his blood surged, and he could no longer suppress the blood in his chest, and blood gushed out with a puff.

"ah!"

"Master Ji!"

Cries of surprise rang out from the hillside. The dark shadows all moved, some holding their hearts with their hands, some turning around on the spot, each with a worried look on their face.

Ji Xuan looked solemn, wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, and said calmly:
"Elder He Huan actually sent you to deal with me. It seems that he is ready to go to war with my Ji family?"

"Why do you say that, Master Ji?"

The leading woman sounded surprised and a little aggrieved:

"I have great respect for Master Ji. Although I admire you very much in my heart and even dream about you often...but I dare not approach you when I see you. I just hope you stay as far away as possible."

"That's right, a man without humor is really boring."

"I really think my sisters care about him."

"Not as good as Mr. Horn!"

Ji Xuan's expression changed as he listened to the women's ridicule, but he did not refute them. He just frowned and said:

"Let me go?"

"What else? Master Ji, do you really want to fight eight of us sisters by yourself... and in this state? I'm afraid you don't have enough physical strength."

The enchanting woman in the lead giggled.

As she teased like this, her eyes turned slightly to Xie Yuan, with a flash of surprise.

They received orders from their master and hurried as fast as they could, fearing that Ji Xuan would kill Xie Yuan.

The result... seemed different from what they imagined, even completely the opposite.

If he had arrived a step later, Ji Xuan would probably have been beaten to death by Xie Yuan?

That’s Ji Xuan!

Even some masters would feel like they were facing a formidable enemy when facing him.

The eight beauties stared at each other calmly on the hillside, and it was obvious from their eyes that they understood their sisters' thoughts.

No wonder the master was more emotional than ever before and insisted that they capture Xie Yuan. If they couldn't catch him, they wouldn't have to go back.

No wonder Xie Yuan became the head of the Chenjun Xie family at such a young age. He is indeed extraordinary and can even surpass Ji Xuan.

Ji Xuan understood the implication of the woman's words and took two steps back tentatively. Seeing that Ba Xuan Nu did not move, his momentum suddenly relaxed.

Xie Yuan keenly noticed this change and felt a chill in his heart.

What kind of person would make Ji Xuan, who is always arrogant, so fearful, and even look like he has escaped death?
Did he think that even if he broke through to the Grandmaster level, he would still not be a match for these eight alluring women?

Ji Xuan confirmed that Baxuannu was not looking for him, his eyes moved slightly, and he asked:

"Elder He Huan is looking for him for something important?"

His finger pointed at Xie Yuan.

The leading woman's eyes turned and she smiled:
"Since Master Ji wants to know so much, why don't I take you with me? There are many brothers and sisters in the Paradise Palace who have been coveting Master Ji."

When Ji Xuan heard such frivolous words, anger flashed across his face, but he said nothing.

He just said lightly:

"Patriarch Xie is still very useful to me. Elder He Huan, you won't kill him, right?"

"Kill? Haha~ No way!"

The woman covered her mouth:
"The master loves him very much, and will definitely take good care of him, love him tenderly, and hold him in his mouth."

When Ji Xuan heard this, his expression changed slightly. He looked at Xie Yuan, and there was even a hint of pity in his eyes.

He felt a little regretful, as if Xie Yuan was as good as dead. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something.

The leading woman faced the sun with her back, looking down at Ji Xuan:

"Master Ji, if you really can't bear to let go, I will take you down and have a good time with you."

When Ji Xuan heard this obvious threat, his face became solemn and he didn't say a word. Finally, he glanced at Xie Yuan and turned away.

Xie Yuan looked at Ji Xuan's departing figure, taking everything in from beginning to end, his heart heavy.

He didn't know who this Eight Mysterious Women was, but judging from Ji Xuan's extremely fearful attitude, her strength should not be underestimated.

Perhaps these eight people together are better than many masters, at least better than Ji Xuan.

Xie Yuan watched eight women walk down the cliff gracefully. Their slender figures seemed to have no weight and floated right in front of him.

Only then did Xie Yuan see their appearance and figures clearly: they were gorgeous and pure, dignified and charming, tall and petite, and voluptuous and exquisite.

Their temperaments and figures are completely different, but they are equally beautiful and charming.

Although each of them is good at their own thing, they are all wrapped in thin gauze clothes, with two spots of bright red and one spot of black, which can be seen if you look closely.

Xie Yuan felt that just by getting close, a ball of evil fire was rising in his lower abdomen, wanting to be released.

He looked solemn and looked at the group of women, each holding a musical instrument, pipa, erhu, chimes and guqin. They looked like a group of singing girls in a brothel, but gave him an extremely dangerous feeling.

Although he had felt like he was being targeted from the beginning, Xie Yuan did not dare to wait for them to get closer.

He moved, leaving behind a phantom, and his real body immediately lurked away.

"Zheng——"

The sound of a pipa was heard, and Xie Yuan felt the blood rushing back through his body. His feet moved rapidly and he fell directly to the ground.

He suddenly raised his head and looked at the woman in the lead, his eyes extremely solemn.

I clearly felt that there was no master among them, so why was I unable to resist this sound attack?

"Master Xie is of noble status, so it's normal that he doesn't recognize us sisters."

The leading woman smiled reservedly:
"Let me introduce myself. We sisters are the Eight Mysterious Ladies under the seat of Elder He Huan. We are good at playing music and dancing. Patriarch Xie likes us. Hehe, I was thinking that you must have never seen it, but then I thought that the patriarch must have tried everything.

"Besides playing, the sisters are also good at ambushing the Grandmaster. The Eight Mysterious Ladies practiced the ancient method together, and they killed a Grandmaster who had passed the Double Bridges once before.

"So Master Xie, just be quiet and don't move. I have been ordered to invite you back and treat you as a distinguished guest. I have no ill intentions~"

After Xie Yuan heard what she said, he began to realize that the eight women standing together had a faint connection of energy, as if they were one body. Although their individual strength was not top-notch, their power was doubled when they were together.

The woman held the pipa and slowly approached Xie Yuan, stretching out her bare hand:
"Master Xie, please don't resist. We invite you to go back. When the master has finished enjoying the food, the sisters will serve you well. The Eight Mysterious Ladies have always stood together. You can enjoy the service of eight slaves. I guarantee that nothing in heaven or on earth can compare to this..."

Xie Yuan felt heavy-hearted after hearing this. He didn't know how he had been targeted by Elder Hehuan.

If you enter this kind of brothel, you will probably be squeezed dry and never have to think about getting out.

However, the eight people in front of him were specially trained to deal with high-level masters. Even if he was in his prime, he might not be their match, not to mention that he was already at the end of his strength.

How to do?
Xie Yuanxin's mind flashed, his eyes suddenly focused, revealing a resolute look.

Fight! He will never surrender.

Xie Yuan picked up the axe in his hand like a phantom, condensing black light.

The woman looked at his movements, and her slender hands flicked across the pipa as if she was dancing, and a series of syllables came out, attacking Xie Yuan.

Xie Yuan felt that the strength in his body was blocked for a moment, and then continued to surge and poured into the axe.

He suddenly raised the axe and chopped at the leading woman on the head!

In the woman's frightened eyes, the Xuanhua Axe burst out with black light and directly split her into two pieces.

Xie Yuan was stunned.

He looked at his axe, and never expected that the enemy that he had been so irresistible just now could suddenly become as weak as a chicken or a dog.
The other beautiful women were equally stunned and unable to comprehend the scene before them.

Then several of them turned their heads and looked at the woman at the end, their eyes wide open with anger:

"Rui Ji, what on earth did you do? How did you suddenly break the formation? Without Yuan Jie'er, how can we complete the formation?"

Na Ruiji had been keeping her head down. After hearing this, she slowly raised her beautiful face, but her expression was calm:
"It takes eight people to form a formation, but it's full of mistakes and omissions."

The other women were stunned. Before they could react, they saw "Rui Ji" raise her hand, and all the links on everyone's body were cut off, and their breath dropped rapidly.

She looked at Xie Yuan, and a familiar smile appeared on his unfamiliar face:
"Why is your body being targeted again? You are such a popular commodity." (End of this chapter)
