Starting with the divine power of the Great Vajra, he traversed the heavens.

Chapter 329: Chickens and Dogs
The backyard of Xiao Family Sword Pavilion.

In front of Zhenmei Pavilion.

With the departure of Xiao Xilou and his son, Hongxiu and Ding'an.

The place fell silent instantly, with only Ren Shaoyang, the old lady, and Zhang Linyi looking at each other in bewilderment.

Ren Shaoyang felt a little embarrassed, so he scratched his head and grinned like Ding An.

Zhang Linyi twitched his nose, smelling the overwhelming stench of blood and filth. He turned to look at the mountain of corpses and sea of ​​blood on the ground, which resembled a slaughterhouse.

After a moment's hesitation, he said to his mother-in-law, "Madam Yao, the smell of blood here is too strong. Let's go back to the attic."

Ren Shaoyang nodded and said, "Yes, yes! It wouldn't be good to offend the old lady."

His mother-in-law smiled slightly, stepped forward and took his hand, saying kindly, "Shaoyang, thank you for saving me from danger."

"Hey~!" Ren Shaoyang laughed, "Madam, you're being too polite."

The mother-in-law smiled and then asked, "Shaoyang, those in power are often ruthless. It might be dangerous for the young girl to be alone. I have Zhang Shenjian protecting me, so there's nothing to worry about. Why don't you go and help her?"

The old lady had just seen clearly that although Ding'an followed, he went in another direction after leaving the house, while Hongxiu went to the front yard alone, so she was very worried.

Zhang Linyi laughed and said, "In front of Sword God Ren, I dare not presume to call myself a divine swordsman!"

Ren Shaoyang smiled faintly and cupped his hands in greeting: "Brother Zhang, in order to protect the old lady, you concealed your identity and actually contributed to the Northern Expedition on a hidden battlefield. You were an indispensable part of our great victory at Zhuxian Town."

Zhang Linyi grinned from ear to ear and waved his hand, saying, "Sword God Ren, you flatter me, you flatter me!"

Ren Shaoyang laughed and said, "It's easy to become famous, but difficult to remain anonymous. Brother Zhang, you're a real man!"

Zhang Linyi habitually raised his pinky finger and chuckled, "Sword God Ren, you really know how to speak well!"

Ren Shaoyang looked at his mother-in-law and chuckled, "Madam, don't worry. If we're talking about ferocity, Hongxiu is even more ferocious than me."

clam?
The mother-in-law and Zhang Linyi were stunned. The smell of blood still lingered in their noses, and the place seemed like a ghost town.

That seemingly honest, kind, and likable little girl.

Could he really be more ruthless than the white-robed man in front of me?

When Hongxiu walked to the front yard, she heard several sword cries, followed by two figures falling to the ground.

Isn't that Xiao Xilou and his son?

The little beggar looked around and saw two people standing in the middle of the room.

A figure dressed in white, head bowed, seemed to be deep in thought, his sword drawn, its tip touching the ground. He looked like a wise hermit meditating with his sword at his side.

The sword's blade was as clear and bright as snow.

However, Hongxiu knew that this seemingly casual posture could turn into a deadly attack at any moment, ruthless and vicious.

Having obtained the Five Ultimate Divine Skills and the Taoist Canon of Wudang Mountain, and having traveled through many martial arts worlds and encountered countless sword masters, Hongxiu had long been well-versed in all kinds of sword techniques.

Now that I have met this person, I cannot help but evaluate him. I feel that his swordsmanship is so high that he is among the top twenty swordsmen I have ever encountered.

This person is none other than Kong Yangqin, the "Three Absolute Sword Demon"!

Fire shot into the sky.

The fire spread from the woods all the way to the Xiao family's sword hut; its speed was unstoppable and its momentum irresistible.

The shouts of killing reached the sky.

Countless figures rushed up the city wall and into the gate.

Hongxiu's expression remained unchanged as she continued to look, only to see another person in a long robe with wide sleeves, wearing tattered straw sandals, looking nonchalant and lazy.

This person has an ordinary appearance, ordinary clothes, and ordinary manners, but his name is anything but ordinary.

He is Zuo Changsheng, the "One Cave God and Demon," a man who, in his early years, suffered from intestinal worms and had his flesh and organs emptied by the Chinese Medicine King, yet miraculously survived.

Therefore, his name is Chang Sheng.

What's even more impressive is that Zuo Changsheng used this as a cover, so when others attacked his empty abdomen, they would always be killed by him.

Zuo Changsheng looked at Hongxiu and casually smiled, "What's going on? A pretty young lady has arrived?"

Kong Yangqin, the "Three Absolute Sword Demon," shouted, "Be careful! She's the One-Knife Immortal of the 'Three Fiends'!"

Zuo Changsheng, the "One Cave God and Demon," seemed to narrow his eyes, his smile vanished, and he said casually, "You're the One-Knife Immortal who turned the 'Three-Crown King of the Frontier' into a human stump?"

Hongxiu looked at his abdomen, smiled, and said sweetly, "I'm just a little girl, how could I be so fierce?"

Kong Yangqin and Zuo Changsheng were both taken aback. The girl in front of them, wearing a red crane cloak, looked delicate and frail, and did not resemble the fierce girl in the legends at all.

The little beggar looked at Xiao Qiushui and her family lying to the side.

Madam Xiao's face was as white as paper, but she still forced a smile and said, "Young lady, we're fine. You run quickly, don't linger!"

Madam Xiao was a heroine among women. Even though she was seriously injured and fell to the ground, she remained kind-hearted and did not want Hongxiu to be harmed.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Qiushui, whose face had turned somewhat pale, opened her mouth, unsure of what to say.

Hongxiu nodded, then asked, "Excuse me, where did that injured and screaming person go?"

A scream of pain from injury?

Xiao Xilou was taken aback for a moment, then said, "Is Miss Hongxiu referring to Zhu Xiawu, the Detective Zhu?"

Hongxiu raised an eyebrow: "It should be him."

“Brother Zhu just faced two demons alone, but unfortunately he was poisoned and then injured by a demon from another cave,” Xiao Xilou said. “When I arrived, I saw him spitting blood and flying out of the courtyard.”

He asked curiously, "Does the young lady feel there's something wrong?"

After learning that Kang Chuyu was the "Nameless God and Demon," Xiao Xilou was already hesitant to act against these "good friends." Now, seeing Hongxiu's strange expression, he immediately had a bad feeling and hurriedly asked her what was wrong.

Hongxiu picked at her nails and said with a grin, "Of course! Just from those screams, you can tell this person is incredibly skilled in martial arts! He could easily kill the two people opposite him."

"But why did he retreat as if he were seriously injured?"

Upon hearing this, both Kong Yangqin and Zuo Chang showed unusual expressions.

The Xiao family's expressions changed drastically.

According to Hongxiu, he was a martial arts master with such high skill, a renowned chivalrous figure, and a righteous and vengeful constable.

Faced with two notorious "human monsters" from the Power Gang, he behaved so poorly that he was beaten and seriously injured and had to escape.

What is he going to do? What does he want to do?
How to look.

They all harbor big secrets!
Xiao Xilou asked in a hoarse voice, "Miss Hongxiu, could it be..."

Hongxiu nodded and smiled, "Master Xiao, just as you thought, this person is two-faced. He seems to have come to help, but in reality, he has much bigger ambitions."

Xiao Qiushui said, "Like Kang Chuyu and his son?"

Hongxiu nodded: "That's right!"

Xiao Xilou's expression was extremely, extremely, extremely ugly: "What are they after?" "What are they after?" the little beggar said with a smile, "The Order of Heroes of the World."

On the other side, after hearing Hongxiu's words, Kong Yangqin glanced at Zuo Changsheng and said, "Old Zuo, wasn't it you who injured Zhu Xiawu with a punch?"

Zuo Changsheng lowered his eyelids, seemingly resting with his eyes closed, and chuckled, "Brother Kong, what? A little girl's words make you doubt me?"

"It's not doubt," Kong Yangqin said with a faint smile, "just a little skeptical."

Zuo Changsheng sneered: "Don't be so naive! Killing them and seizing the 'Heroes of the World' token to present to the gang leader is the real priority!"

Kong Yangqin thought for a moment, nodded, put aside his doubts for the time being, and looked at Hongxiu together with Zuo Changsheng.

Zuo Changsheng sneered, "Little girl, don't you know that trouble comes from the mouth?"

Hongxiu laughed and asked, "What trouble?"

Zuo Changsheng coldly replied, "Enough with the nonsense, or I'll tear you to shreds."

Before he could finish speaking, a powerful force struck him from the back of his neck.

It turned out that Hongxiu had appeared behind him at some point, suddenly grabbed him by the back of his collar, and slammed him to the ground.

Zuo Changsheng fell backward, his head hitting the floor, and he screamed in agony.

Hongxiu smiled gently: "Go ahead and curse me, go ahead and curse me again."

Just then, a flash of sword light appeared, the night was dark, and the sword moved like lightning.

The sword strike came so suddenly and so quickly.

Logically speaking, most people absolutely cannot avoid it.

But Hongxiu's body, like a red veil, gently and softly dodged the sword.

A glint flashed in her eyes, and she chuckled, "So eager to die?"

The one who drew the sword was Kong Yangqin. He shouted, "Release Zuo Changsheng!" and thrust his sword into the little beggar's chest.

Hongxiu chuckled: "Okay, here you go!"

His right hand emerged from his sleeve, and with a flick of his wrist, five white fingers appeared on the tip of the sword. With a "crack," the sword tip snapped in two.

Blood gushed from Kong Yangqin's tiger's mouth, and he retreated repeatedly.

But a flash of blood, and Hongxiu followed like a shadow, with a backhand swipe, lifting "One Cave God and Demon" Zuo Changsheng above her head.

A soft laugh, like a nightmare, echoed throughout the front yard, gentle and captivating.

Suddenly, Hongxiu appeared, holding Kong Yangqin's longsword without a tip in one hand and Zuo Changsheng in the other, and pressed down hard!
puff!

Everyone heard a shrill scream and saw blood spurt out, spraying all around them, and they were all startled.

Then a long sword pierced through Zuo Changsheng's mouth, like a grilled fish being stabbed into his chest and abdomen.

Since the longsword had no tip, this action was purely a matter of Hongxiu forcefully thrusting it in, making the pain even more intense. Zuo Changsheng's limbs were spread wide, his clothes were torn, and a large hole was exposed in his abdomen.

"Ah, ah!"

Kong Yangqin was terrified by this scene and involuntarily loosened his grip on the sword hilt, taking three steps back in quick succession.

Just then, Hongxiu laughed and said, "Why are you so useless?" Before she finished speaking, she transformed into a blood-red shadow and streaked through the air like lightning.

Kong Yangqin was so frightened that he shouted repeatedly, "Witch! Witch!" Suddenly, he slammed both palms together and punched forward!

Suddenly, an unexpected sharpness struck.

Hongxiu's round face was faintly visible in the blood-red darkness, her smile shallow. Then, the blood shadow circled around her, turning gently once.

Under the watchful eyes of everyone, the confusion in their eyes turned into shock, horror, and disbelief as a streak of blood streaked across the night sky.

"What is that?" Madam Xiao's expression changed drastically.

“That’s a knife!” Xiao Xilou said in a hoarse voice.

"What knife?"

The two of them looked at Xiao Qiushui together.

Xiao Qiushui swallowed hard and said, "When the Sword God Ren taught me swordsmanship, he said that Sister Hongxiu's knife is omnipresent and is called 'Sleeve God'!"

"The Sleeve Divine Blade?"

Looking at Kong Yangqin, who was dismembered and filled with resentment, Xiao Xilou said with some emotion.

"Excellent swordsmanship! I wonder, thirty years ago, which was the strongest: Su Mengzhen's 'Red Sleeve Blade' or the Red Sleeve Girl's 'Sleeve Divine Blade'?"

I really like the name "Red Sleeve Blade".

Just then, Hongxiu's voice came. She walked over lightly with her hands behind her back, smiling, "But if we're talking about the strongest, neither Hongxiu's sword technique nor my Sleeve God sword technique is the strongest."

"Huh?" Xiao Qiushui asked, "Sister Hongxiu, what sword technique is the strongest?"

"The city is engulfed in flames."

Hongxiu asked casually, turning to look at Xiao Xilou, "Master Xiao, where is Kang Chuyu?"

Xiao Xilou's expression changed as he realized the nameless demon was not there. He quickly looked at Madam Xiao and asked, "Madam, where is Kang Chuyu?!"

Seeing his gritted teeth and resentful tone, Madam Xiao was somewhat puzzled, but still said, "Hero Kang helped Tang Da to the back garden to detoxify."

"broken!"

Xiao Xilou and Xiao Qiushui both shouted.

Madam Xiao was puzzled: "What's wrong?"

Xiao Qiushui explained, "Mother, Kang Chuyu and his son are actually from the Power Gang! They came to our house as undercover agents to steal the 'Heroes of the World' token!"

Madam Xiao's eyes widened, and she couldn't help but exclaim, "That's terrible! Master Tang is in danger!"

"Hey~ don't worry."

Just then, Hongxiu suddenly laughed out loud.

Xiao Xilou's family was taken aback and looked at her.

Xiao Qiushui asked, "Sister Hongxiu, why do you say that?"

The little beggar pointed in a direction and asked, "That's the garden, isn't it?"

Xiao Qiushui nodded: "Yes."

"Then it's alright." Hongxiu said calmly.

"Ding'an has already gone."
