Fangxian Heretical Path

Chapter 281 The Male and Female Duo (Bonus Chapter for Alliance Leader "Strange Toilet Seat")
Jiao Lulu stared at the sword energy and cold light in mid-air, and a chill ran down her spine. She wanted to shout for the others to stop fighting.

Fang Shu, having joined Zong Qingxue and Yan Gou's sword fight, immediately realized their true strength.

Even though his nail-headed arrow was a quasi-Foundation Establishment magic weapon, it was still inferior to the opponent's two thousand-times-forged flying swords.

After all, the nail-headed arrow is more about being sinister and unpredictable than something good for sword fighting, and he only took out one.

With his sword hooked between the two men, he slowly noticed Fang Shu's hesitation and burst into laughter:

"Haha, I thought you were one of us, but it turns out you're all show and no substance. It's a real shame this flying nail is with you."

The man shouted, "Let me teach you how to wield a sword."

呲呲!

The man immediately changed targets, his flying sword flashing as he lunged at Fang Shu, attempting to kill him first.

Faced with this fellow's attack, Fang Shu raised an eyebrow, realizing even more the gap between himself and a proper swordsman.

But he didn't panic at all. He calmly took out the Hundred Gu Banner of the Dragon Spine and waved it gently. The heavy Gu worms surged towards the swallow hook.

No matter how sharp the opponent's sword or how strong their swordsmanship, as long as Fang Shu first traps the opponent with a Gu formation, he will have a hundred ways to wear them down.

When Yan Gou saw the array flag in Fang Shu's hand and the swarming Gu worms all around, his expression changed drastically.

He glanced at Jiao Lulu, who was already trapped to the side, and thought to himself, "This fiend is actually a practitioner of array formations and Gu techniques? Could it be that Junior Sister Jiao wasn't just putting on an act just now?"

Suddenly, Yan Gou remembered that he seemed to have seen this method of combining Gu formations somewhere before.

He swiftly switched from defense to offense, leaping forward to pounce on Fang Shu and engage in close combat. This forced Fang Shu to retreat and first use a Gu formation to protect himself.

Buzz!

The Three Talents and Four Gu Formation took shape, encircling Fang Shu and revealing the appearance of a three-headed worm, exuding a fierce aura.

Upon seeing the formed formation, Yan Gou exclaimed in surprise, "So it's you! The fake fox demon who withstood Dai Jintong's lightning spell back then."

Fang Shu's eyelids twitched slightly in surprise, but without uttering a sound, he activated the Three Talents and Four Gu Formation around him, pressing down on his opponent.

Seeing that Jiao Lulu was rather docile, and worried that keeping her there might endanger her life, he simply took back the Gu worms beside her and mixed them into the Gu formation.

Jiao Lulu was overjoyed when she saw the formation that had trapped her disappear.

Without hesitation, she obediently jumped aside, no longer daring to get involved in the three's battle of wits.

However, since two of the people she fought with had a past connection with her, and she also sensed that this golden mountain seemed to have some kind of destiny with her, she did not leave directly.

Clang!
While Fang Shu and Yan Gou were fighting, Zong Qingxue stood aside and watched for a few moments to get a feel for Fang Shu's true strength.

Realizing that Fang Shu was not a practitioner of swordsmanship or weaponry, the woman raised an eyebrow.

Having witnessed Fang Shu's magical power, she understood the situation and stopped watching. She unleashed a sword strike, aiming at the swallow-hook again.

After several rounds of this.

Faced with a formation pressing down in front of him and a flying sword attacking from behind, Yan Gou immediately broke out in a cold sweat.

He managed to hold on for a few dozen more breaths before suddenly realizing that if he continued like this, he would either be exhausted or be killed by a sudden sword strike.

As for abandoning this place and fleeing, he was both reluctant to part with the Nine Tribulations Flying Sword and dared not turn his back on the two Foundation Establishment seeds at the same time.

And so.

After once again forcefully repelling Fang Shu and Zong Qingxue's flying swords and nails, the man suddenly flew towards the sky above Jinshan, his target being the Nine Tribulations White Sword that was hovering in mid-air.

Just as Fang Shu and his companion thought the man was going to forcibly take the flying sword and leave, a loud "Hey!" rang out!
Yan Gou shouted: "One of you is not one of my kind, and the other has joined forces to attack me. You have no sword cultivator's demeanor at all. Do you think you can gain the sword spirit's approval?"
We implore the Sword Spirit to uphold justice; this battle is unjust!

These words echoed on the mountaintop, leaving the three people around them completely astonished.

Fang Shu and Zong Qingxue looked at each other in bewilderment. They had never expected that this guy, seeing that he was no match for them, would actually think of complaining to the higher authorities.

Jiao Lulu, standing to the side, had an even stranger expression. Although she had always felt that her senior brother Yan Gou's behavior was somewhat incongruous, it was only now, facing life and death, that she saw his furious and unusual nature.

But what the three of them never expected was that the white sword hovering in mid-air actually reacted after hearing Yan Gou's complaint.

Buzzing.

An unpleasant clang emanated from the sword and landed on the golden mountain, as if as a warning.

This caused Fang Shu and the other man to pause their attack on Yan Gou, allowing Yan Gou to catch his breath and show great joy on his face.

The man continued to exclaim in delight:
"Gentlemen! This place is the legacy left by the ancient sword immortals. If you want to gain the approval of the sword spirit, you'd better fight honestly."

If I, Yan, lose, I will accept it wholeheartedly. Otherwise, even if you two win, I'm afraid you won't receive the inheritance.

However, upon hearing this, Fang Shu and Zong Qingxue exchanged glances without saying a word or communicating with each other. Instead, they both channeled their inner energy and fiercely slashed at Yan Gou.

This move caught Yan Gou off guard, and he was somewhat slow to react, especially since he was already exhausted.

Then, with a few soft "pfft" sounds!

One of his arms and one of his legs were struck by Fang Shu's nail-headed arrow and Zong Qingxue's flying sword.

The latter, in particular, had her thigh cut off completely, with some flesh still attached to the base, causing Zong Qingxue to frown and scoff inwardly.

Fang Shu, who witnessed this, felt a sudden pang in his heart and couldn't help but take another look at the woman.

Ahhhhh!

A piercing scream immediately echoed across Jinshan.

The man clutched his groin, his eyes wide with rage, wailing in agony, nearly dying from the pain.

But this person was indeed a sword cultivator. Despite such intense pain and injury, he was still able to actively wield his flying sword and decisively sever the arm that had been struck by the nail-headed arrow, preventing the evil energy on the arrow from penetrating his body.

This action made Fang Shu, who had been observing the person with indifference, look at him seriously.

The handsome Foundation Establishment seed of Rongyan Palace fell to the ground, only able to drag his body like a crippled dog, crawling on the dueling platform, and screaming pitifully:
"I surrender, I surrender! Please spare my life, you two... Junior sister, save me!"

Hearing the cries for help, Jiao Lulu, who was standing nearby, looked dazed, unable to believe that her sword cultivator senior brother, who had killed many people, had been defeated so decisively.

Her expression was hesitant, as if she was about to speak.

But the next moment, a cold gaze fell from the center of the arena, making her head freeze.

That gaze was directed at Fang Shu.

He turned his head and looked at Jiao Lulu. Although he didn't say anything, it seemed like he had said everything. Jiao Lulu swallowed hard and dared not make a sound.

On the other side...

A flying sword swiftly pounced forward, not allowing Yan Gou to utter a single word, and mercilessly chopped the man's body into minced meat, shredding his soul along with it, leaving no trace of danger.

Sizzling sounds.

Upon seeing this, Fang Shu raised an eyebrow and immediately withdrew his gaze from Jiao Lulu, turning instead to look at Zong Qingxue beside him.

Zong Qingxue remained calm. She gently raised her hand and recalled her flying sword, as if she had only killed a dog, not severed a Foundation Establishment seed.

At the edge of the mountain peak, Jiao Lulu looked at the pair of male and female demons on the platform who worked together so perfectly, as if they were telepathically connected, and felt even more terrified.

Her face showed only fear; she didn't even look at him anymore, just lowered her head and remained silent.

After successfully joining forces to kill the enemy, Fang Shu and the other looked at each other and found that there was admiration in each other's eyes.

But the next moment, the two of them turned to the side simultaneously.

They stood facing each other, one holding a nail, the other a sword, gazing at each other coldly, their auras sharp and menacing, like needles pointing directly at wheat awns.
