Madam, please ascend.

Chapter 7: Xisheng Sword

Amidst the torrential downpour, a strange figure drew ever closer. It exuded a bloody aura, and its appearance was so bizarre that anyone who caught sight of it would gasp.

Apart from Yun Yi, he had no cultivation and naturally couldn't see clearly what that thing was.

He only saw that the head of the prostitute suddenly flew out of the ruined temple on its own, just like the "flying head barbarian" in the storybook.

"How could someone in this world use a human head as a hidden weapon?" Yun Yi asked knowingly. He naturally knew who the visitor was, a mere tailor.

Zhuque responded, "If you have little experience, don't speak, lest you make a fool of yourself."

"Oh, I just thought it was funny. My wife's severed head was thrown away like garbage, but someone actually picked it up as a treasure."

The beggar then reminded: "Say less. If you anger that person, he will kill you no matter what your relationship with Song Xinci is."

Yun Yi curled his lips and said, "Okay, I'll shut up."

Another thunderclap roared outside the temple, and along with a dazzling light, it suddenly appeared at the entrance of the dilapidated temple. This object was made up of four corpses, with four heads facing east, west, south, and north, each holding a weapon.

It is said that there is a kind of magical power called three heads and six arms, but it actually has four heads and eight arms.

No, there were not just four heads, there was another head hanging in the middle with its neck, its eyes closed. It was a character Yun Yi had never expected.

Zhuque was surprised and said, "The ruthless scholar Zhu Qiyi actually died just like that?"

Xuan Jiao said, "Old tailor, why do you kill even your own people?"

The stinky beggar also echoed: "I thought it was us who joined forces to surround and kill Song Xinci, but I didn't expect that."

Yun Yi didn't say anything more because he found that he had never seen this thing in his previous life.

The monster outside the temple couldn't speak, but a voice came out of it, "No, I didn't kill Zhu Qiyi."

"Then why did he die?"

"I found his body outside the city. I thought he would most want to see Song Xinci's death, so I made him into my puppet."

Zhuque smiled and said, "You are truly kind-hearted."

Xuan Jiao said, "The question is who killed Zhu Qiyi. Is there someone secretly helping Song Xinci?"

As he spoke, he glanced at Yun Yi, who quickly waved his hand and said, "I'm just a hostage. I don't have any cultivation at all. How could I possibly kill someone?"

The stinky beggar clearly didn't believe it: "Who knows, maybe you can figure out where I'm hiding at a glance, so stop playing dumb here."

At this time, Song Xinci, who had not spoken for a long time, interrupted the chat and said, "Everyone should be here. Let's go together."

She said this with an ugly face, and it seemed that she had no intention of showing off her magic weapon, but it still made everyone tremble.

Everyone knows that Song Xinci is a talented girl from the Demon Sect. She has cultivated to the Return to Void Realm in just a few years. If she succeeds in refining her mind this time, it will definitely not take her too long to advance to the Hedao Realm.

Such an outstanding person must not be kept, even if she is also a member of the Demon Sect!
Song Xinci wasn't afraid at all; she knew everyone present. Zhuque and Xuanjiao were both in the late stage of the Spiritual Transformation Realm, while the stinky beggar was only in the middle stage, but his methods were always treacherous, so he needed to be watched carefully.

The most troublesome person is the old tailor outside the temple. He appears and disappears mysteriously and is probably in the early stage of Return to Void Realm.

However, his current realm is unstable, and at most he is at the late stage of the Spirit Transformation Realm.

Even so, the girl, whose graceful figure could not be concealed even in her linen clothes, showed no fear at all.

The more people who come, the better. These people have ulterior motives and it would be dangerous if they hid in the dark.

Now that they have all appeared, it is just right to get rid of them in one go!
The next moment, Song Xinci took action.

What’s interesting is that her first palm strike was actually directed at Yun Yi!
Yun Yi had no way to escape, but fortunately Suzaku came to his aid at the critical moment and swept him away with a red silk tied with a golden bell.

She laughed sweetly and said, "My dear sister, why are you so anxious to kill him?"

In the eyes of everyone, Song Xinci chose to kill Yun Yi first because he said "my wife".

The battle was imminent. As Song Xinci took action, the others followed suit, displaying their weapons and magical treasures. The stinking beggar, clad in a patchwork of rags, charged forward regardless of the danger. With one palm, it transformed into a multi-foot-long cloud that obscured the sky and the sun, seemingly intending to crush Song Xinci to death.

The sword in Xuan Jiao's hand was unsheathed, and it transformed into thousands of clones, vowing to turn the ruined temple into a sieve from top to bottom, inside and out.

The five-headed strange corpse still remained outside the temple, and its eight hands formed strange seals. The rain outside was all drawn to the vicinity of the seals, condensing into four water balls containing extremely powerful forces.

The old tailor was a chatterbox and shouted, "Song Xinci, give me your life!"

After saying that, four water balls hit the woman in the ruined temple one after another.

In the blink of an eye, the woman's figure seemed so small and lonely. Even Yun Yi couldn't help but feel a little sympathetic, thinking that after living with this group of half-human, half-ghost creatures since childhood, the woman's personality was only a little cold, which was actually quite precious.

But he already knew the result, so he didn't feel nervous.

Because Song Xinci's strength is unquestionable, and he never needs anyone's sympathy or pity.

Time in the dilapidated temple seemed to slow down and the air became thick. Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Song Xinci finally showed off her magic weapon.

It appeared to be a flute, a foot long, with a dragon's head and a phoenix's head at each end. The flute had six holes. Song Xinci held the sword in one hand, his fingers resting on several of the holes in an odd position.

Yun Yi recognized his wife's Xisheng Sword at a glance.

The sword's name was taken from the song "Da Yin Xi Sheng," but unfortunately, it sounds like the word "sacrifice," which is somewhat ominous. Later, during a fierce battle, it fell off a cliff and was never found again.

The next moment, Song Xinci casually swung the Xisheng Sword, and the stinky beggar's palm that covered the sky and the sun immediately split into two halves. He was so scared that he dodged hurriedly, but when he dodged, he found that there was no murderous intent in front of him.

Woo!
Instead, the Xisheng Sword emitted a flute-like sound as it was swung, and the nearby Black Dragon was somewhat distracted by it, unexpectedly affected. Suddenly, a sword tip emerged from the Phoenix Head that was originally aimed at him, accurately striking the main body of the sword caught in the rain of swords.

The Xuanjiao magic weapon was broken, and he retreated half a step while suppressing the urge to vomit blood.

call out!
The sword is alive and suddenly changes its moves again!
The stinky beggar took the opportunity to get close to Song Xinci, and it looked like the iron palm was about to pierce her heart. But Song Xinci changed her sword gesture, and with another flute sound, the tip of the phoenix-headed sword retracted, and the dragon head spit out a precious sword, firmly piercing the back of the stinky beggar's hand.

In pain, the stinky beggar could only shake off his patchwork quilt, wrap his head, turn into a ball of flesh, and quickly retreat.

The murderous intent was not over yet, and the four water balls were about to touch Song Xinci's body.

But strangely, the water ball hit Song Xinci and passed right through, as if it had just hit a puff of air. Song Xinci had vanished right in front of everyone's gaze!
After all, it was a full-strength attack from the Return to Void Realm, so Song Xinci didn't dare to take it head-on and had to use the illusion technique to dodge it.

Yun Yi suddenly reminded: "Be careful above your head."

Zhuque also noticed something was wrong above, and hurriedly shook the red silk, waving it into a vortex shape, thus blocking the invisible sword energy coming from above.

What a vicious woman, she actually wanted to kill Yun Yi.

Everyone in the temple thought so, and then they heard several flute sounds outside the temple. It turned out to be the Xisheng sword flying around the strange corpse several times.

The four heads of the drunkards and whoremongers were chopped into several pieces like watermelons, with no possibility of repair. The eight arms and eight legs were also removed one after another.

Only one head remained in the center: Zhu Qiyi. His eyes suddenly widened, and a black light emanated from his mouth. Song Xinci was unable to dodge and could only recall the Xisheng Sword, hastily using a section of the blade to block the attack.

The first round is truly over.

It turns out that killing Yun Yi was just a decoy. From the very beginning, Song Xinci wanted to kill the old tailor outside.

As a master in the Return to Void Realm, he is the most troublesome.

Unfortunately, he was ambushed. He didn't expect that Zhu Qiyi was not dead. The master was willing to turn into a puppet just to kill his enemy.

In anger, Song Xinci split the puppet into two, and Zhu Qiyi's head was also split in half. Now there was really no hope for life.

Seeing that his puppet was gone, the old tailor had no choice but to reveal his true form. He was wearing a huge cloak and a hat on his head, which covered his face tightly.

He laughed strangely: "Hey, you are injured."
