The world of martial arts, the immortal swordsman in the mortal realm.

Chapter 188, Part 203: The World's Number One Lustful Daring!

Inside a seemingly ordinary, unremarkable general store in Chang'an West Market.

Wanwan led Lu Chen, Dugu Feng, and Li Xiuning and Lian Rou, who had come to join in the fun, straight through the main hall and into the back warehouse of the general store. After rummaging around on a shelf for a while, she gently activated a mechanism, and the warehouse floor made a soft click as a five-foot square section sank down.

The section of ground that had sunk then silently slid aside, revealing a descending stone staircase.

Wanwan took the lead, descending the stone steps.

Lu Chen leaned the Spear against the wall and followed Wanwan downstairs.

Dugu Feng stood guard in the storeroom with her sword in hand, to prevent the secret passage exit from being blocked.

Li Xiuning also consciously stayed there and did not follow down, lest she see something she shouldn't and displease Lu Chen.

Lian Rou was curious and wanted to go down and see what treasures were hidden in the secret chamber of the Great Ming Sect.

But she was, after all, the daughter of the Imperial Advisor. Although she was a bit unrestrained, she still understood human relationships and social customs. Therefore, she suppressed her curiosity and stayed in the storeroom to talk to Dugu Feng.

"Miss Dugu, are you Brother Lu's lover?"

"First, please call him Uncle Lu. Second..."

Dugu Feng spoke with righteous indignation:
“I am not your lover. I am Brother Lu’s Daoist partner.”

Lianrou blinked:
"What difference does it make?"

"The difference is huge. I can't explain it to you in a short time."

Lianrou asked curiously:

"So, do you have sex with him?"

"..."

Dugu Feng was speechless, thinking to herself, "Is this kind of private matter something that can be discussed openly?"

Persian girls raised in Turkic areas are wild and shameless.

Just then, a bullet suddenly flew in through the warehouse window. Even though Dugu Feng was secretly complaining, he noticed it immediately and, without thinking, swung out a palm, unleashing a gentle force.

She intended to send the unidentified bullet back with gentle force, but before her palm could even touch it, the bullet exploded with a bang, and a cloud of pink smoke instantly spread out, enveloping Dugu Feng and the other two.

Faced with this unknown poisonous fog, Dugu Feng did not wait for it to spread completely before drawing her sword with lightning speed. With a single slash, a sharp sword wind howled out, instantly dispelling the poisonous fog that was about to envelop the three of them.

He then used his sword to perform "Shifting Stars," which instantly guided and shifted the poisonous mist in the air, causing it to surge towards the warehouse entrance.

Just then, a figure walked in through the door, laughing triumphantly:

"What good luck! I never expected to encounter three stunning beauties, each with her own unique charm, on my first day in Chang'an... These three beauties don't think they can get away with just holding their breath, do they? This is a secret poisonous mist passed down by my Great Ming Sect. Just a little bit can seep into their delicate skin and turn virgins into wanton ones... Hmm?"

However, he saw that there was not a trace of pink mist around the three beautiful women, but instead a pink mist dragon was surging towards him.

However, since this person dared to use poison, he was naturally not afraid of his own poisonous mist. He let the pink mist dragon rush towards him, frowned slightly, glanced at the three women, Dugu Feng and the others, who showed no signs of poisoning, and then smiled wryly:
"That's clever of you. Oh well, it'll just take a little more effort."

Dugu Feng's face was as cold as frost as she looked at the man.

This person appeared to be in his early twenties, with a long, narrow face and skin even whiter and more delicate than a woman's. He possessed an eerie and otherworldly aura, and his features suggested he was a Uyghur.

"Who are you?"

Dugu Feng asked in a cold voice.

If Lu Chen were here, he would have guessed the man's identity much earlier, when the poison was released. After hearing his words, he would be even more certain of the man's identity.

This guy even dared to drug Shi Qingxuan, the daughter of the Evil King, and try to forcibly take her. He is the only one in the Twin Dragons world with such audacity that Lu Chen's impression of him is even deeper than that of the Great Venerable Xu Kaishan.

The young man smiled slightly:
"My name is Liexia, the head of the Five Envoys of the Great Ming Sect, Miaokong Mingzi. May I ask the names of the three beauties?"

He arrived in Chang'an at nightfall today and went straight to the stronghold after entering the city. He did not know Dugu Feng or Li Xiuning, and although he had heard of Lian Rou, he had never met her.

The reason for the sudden poisoning was that the three people's auras did not originate from the scriptures of the Great Ming Sect, but were guarding the entrance to the secret passage of the stronghold, so they simply poisoned them first.

If it's an enemy, you can both defeat them and enjoy the company of three beauties—a win-win situation.

If it's someone who's just been recruited into the sect, then given his status, he can take advantage of the situation and enjoy the benefits as he pleases.

In any case, whether they were enemies or friends, he had no intention of letting the three beauties go.

Upon hearing Lie Xia introduce himself, Lian Rou was immediately taken aback:
"So it was you! Miss Dugu, Princess Xiuning, this man is a lecherous scoundrel and uses despicable methods. Join forces and kill him at once!"

Lie Xia said with a smile:

"Why do you say that, beauties? I merely have a special fondness for beauties. Rest assured, my skills are superb, and I have always been kind to women..."

Before he could finish speaking, a piercingly blue sword light, as sharp as lightning, carrying a chilling aura, stabbed straight at Lie Xia.

Dugu Feng's face was as cold as frost, his eyes were icy, and he was already filled with murderous intent.

Although she used "Shifting Stars" to move the poisonous fog in time and protected Li Xiuning and Lian Rou, preventing the three of them from being poisoned, Lie Xia was truly despicable and treacherous, which she loathed to the extreme, and she attacked with fierce killing moves.

When Lie Xia saw Dugu Feng's sharp sword light, he was slightly taken aback. He seemed not to have expected that this petite, exquisite, alluring, and beautiful girl with a face as cold as ice would have such amazing skills. However, he smiled without taking it to heart, gathered his energy in his palm, and pushed it out.

He was the leader of the Five Envoys of the Great Ming Sect, and his martial arts skills were only second to the Great Venerable and the Good Mother. He thought that even in the Central Plains, a land of outstanding people and many masters, there were few young people who could rival him. He did not take Dugu Feng seriously at all.

Unexpectedly, the azure sword light suddenly trembled and shook halfway through its flight, splitting into three, then into nine, which attacked nine vital points on his body.

Lie Xia was startled, because in his perception of the energy, those nine sword lights were not some kind of trick, but each sword light had real power.

That eerie feeling was as if Dugu Feng's sword technique could split into nine, one sword splitting into nine, with no distinction between real and fake, and no order of precedence. They were truly all attacking his nine vital points at the same time.

This is of course impossible.

Although Dugu Feng's swordsmanship was strong, he was far from reaching the level where he could truly "divide sword light".

However, she gained a lot from her daily comprehension of the "Sword Spirit Mark" and also figured out how to interfere with the sensing of Qi.

Although it cannot "transform into emptiness" like Lu Chen, completely interfering with the enemy's five senses and spiritual perception with the Heart Sword, concealing its own existence, and making the enemy blind and confused, it can "multiply".

She can divide her Qi into many forms, attaching them to feints, making it difficult for enemies to sense the Qi and distinguish between the real and the fake.

Lie Xia encountered such trouble at this moment. Caught off guard due to carelessness, he tried to escape from the warehouse while simultaneously striking out with lightning speed, attempting to block the nine sword lights with his palm strike from a distance. However, his palm strikes repeatedly missed their mark.

Choosing one out of nine requires exceptional luck to succeed on the first try.

Lie Xia seemed to be unlucky, as several of his palm strikes only managed to intercept the false sword light, which, while real, had no power.

Only when the only real sword light was upon him, triggering a mental warning, did Lie Xia finally perceive the location of the real sword light.

But it was already a little late.

In his haste, Lie Xia parried the sword light that was aimed at his lower abdomen, but in his haste, he couldn't gather enough true energy. The cold, sharp "Dongming Sword" pierced through his palm, severing four fingers of his right hand at the root, leaving only a bare thumb. Furthermore, a strangely cold sword energy, capable of freezing water, seeped into the wound, causing Lie Xia to feel his blood freeze and his true energy become stagnant. He shivered all over, and his backward flight slowed down.

Just as he paused for a moment...

Li Xiuning and Lian Rou had already leaped to his sides.

Li Xiuning's sword light was like drifting snow, with scattered points of cold light piercing towards Lie Xia's left side.

Lian Rou held a curved blade and unleashed the "Radiant Sun Blade Technique," slashing seven times in an instant. The sharp blade light formed a curtain of light, relentlessly slashing towards Lie Xia's right side.

Lie Xia was both shocked and furious. Ignoring the injury to her hand, she let out a sharp cry and spun around like a top, unleashing dozens of palm strikes and hundreds of kicks in all directions in an instant. Even her crippled right hand used her remaining thumb to press out several sharp finger strikes.

Lie Xia's martial arts skills were indeed extremely high. He was too careless and underestimated his opponent. In addition, Dugu Feng's martial arts skills were no less than his, and he also had a strange move that interfered with the perception of qi. That's why Dugu Feng cut off four of his fingers with a sword.

At this moment, he unleashed his full power, fighting against two opponents simultaneously. His barrage of punches and kicks not only blocked all of Li Xiuning and Lian Rou's attacks, but his sharp and swift finger strikes also forced Li Xiuning and Lian Rou to retreat and defend.

But just as he forced Li Xiuning and Lian Rou back, before he could even replenish his true energy, Dugu Feng's sword light arrived again.

This time she was much better prepared. A beam of azure sword light split into twenty-seven beams, which pierced into twenty-seven vital points all over Lie Xia's body without any order of attack.

Despite his best efforts to sense the difference between the real and the fake, Lie Xia could only roar and, disregarding the damage to his meridians, forcefully raise his true energy using some kind of self-harming secret technique. At the same time, his attack speed also increased dramatically, instantly unleashing twenty-seven punches, finger strikes, and leg strikes to intercept the twenty-seven sword lights that were indistinguishable from the real ones.

This self-destructive fighting style, which disregarded the damage to his meridians, successfully blocked all twenty-six fake sword lights, but it also left Lie Xia pale and panting heavily.

Before they could even catch their breath, Li Xiuning and Lian Rou attacked again.

Dugu Feng also stepped on the Biluo Hongchen Footwork, which incorporated the essence of the Sword Shadow Step, and with a strange movement technique containing hidden Qimen Dunjia, he flashed like a phantom into Lie Xia's blind spot, and once again unleashed a sky full of azure cold light.

Lie Xia's martial arts skills were similar to Dugu Feng's. Even if she was careless and injured first, she could still hold out for a long time in a one-on-one fight, and even have a chance to escape.

Despite Lie Xia's repeated attempts to use self-harm techniques to boost her energy, she couldn't find any way to break through the encirclement, even with Li Xiuning and Lian Rou holding her back.

It only lasted for about twenty moves.

Lie Xia's internal injuries worsened, his true energy was depleted, and he still had no chance to dispel the strangely cold sword energy that had invaded his meridians, causing his blood and true energy to feel frozen and stagnant. Finally, he could not withstand Dugu Feng's sword momentum and was killed by her sword.

With that one sword strike, Lie Xia died instantly.

"You dare to plot against me, and even tried to drug me... I will not allow you to leave with a whole corpse!"

Although Lian Rou is wild and unrestrained, her wildness and unrestraint depend on the person she is with.

She hated Lie Xia, such a despicable person, to the point that even his death did not satisfy her hatred. She rushed over again and chopped off Lie Xia's head with a knife. Then she kicked him like a football, sending his head flying. It crashed into the courtyard wall with a thud and shattered into pieces.

"It'll take some effort to clean the floor now."

Dugu Feng silently mourned for her elder brother, who was in charge of patrolling the West Market area. She turned her head to look at the warehouse door and saw Lu Chen smiling at her. Wanwan was holding a package in one hand and a Xuan Tie Lie Ma spear in the other, standing next to Lu Chen.

Lu Chen and Wanwan had already emerged when Dugu Feng and the other two were besieging Lie Xia.

Seeing that the three were gaining the upper hand and making Lie Xia look miserable, Lu Chen did not try to steal the kill. After all, he could get the full amount of calamity energy from the enemies killed by the sword spirit, so he didn't have to do it personally.

"Now that this matter is settled, it's time to go."

After glancing at Lie Xia's headless corpse, Lu Chen called out and prepared to leave.

"Hey, aren't you going to confiscate the spoils of war?"

Lian Rou pointed at Lie Xia's corpse and asked.

Seeing that none of them intended to search the body, Lianrou said:

"Then I won't be polite!"

He went over and groped around for a while, and somehow found something, which made him beam with joy.

After leaving the West Market, the two went their separate ways.

Lu Chen, Wanwan, and Dugu Feng went home, while Li Xiuning and Lian Rou returned to the palace under the escort of a patrol of armored soldiers.

en route.

Lian Rou suddenly asked:

"Does Princess Xiuning have any regrets?"

"Pity?"

Li Xiuning was puzzled:
What do I regret?

Lian Rou smiled slightly:
"It's a pity I wasn't poisoned! Brother Lu is in the underground chamber, ready to come up and help at any time. Even if I were poisoned, it wouldn't matter. Anyway, Lie Xia wouldn't last long against Brother Lu, and then we can get the antidote..."

She smiled knowingly.
"Perfect timing to hand it over to Brother Lu!"

"..."

Li Xiuning remained silent for a while, then said expressionlessly:
"First of all, Princess Lianrou should call Brother Lu 'Uncle.' Secondly, I have no regrets; the one who truly feels regret is Princess Lianrou, isn't she?"

She had only intended to tease Lianrou a little, but to her surprise, this wild and unrestrained Persian girl readily agreed:
"That's right, I'm extremely disappointed. It's all because Dugu Feng reacted too quickly..."

"..."

Li Xiuning was speechless for a long time.

Lian Rou, with her hands behind her back, said leisurely:
"However, Princess Xiuning can deceive her sisters, but it's not good to deceive yourself! You know perfectly well whether you have any regrets in your heart."

Li Xiuning wanted to retort, but then she saw Lian Rou stretch out her hand in front of her, open her palm, and in her fair, jade-like palm lay a red bullet.

“This is what I found on Lie Xia; it’s exactly the same as the bullet he fired earlier.”

Lian Rou looked at Li Xiuning with a smile:
"Princess Xiuning, would you like to take one and make up for it later?"

Li Xiuning shifted her gaze and looked ahead:
"No need. Princess Lianrou should keep it for herself."

"You really don't need it?"

Li Xiuning's tone was resolute:
"Need not."

Lian Rou shook her head:
"Princess Xiuning is really not frank."

He then closed his palms and put the bullet back.

Only after the bullet disappeared from under her eyelids did Li Xiuning secretly exhale a long breath. She felt her heart beating very fast and her cheeks were slightly hot, as if she had been drinking too much.
