In the martial arts world, he threatens Yin Susu from the start.

Duan Yu was indeed caught off guard by the sudden change.

By the time he realized what was happening, Kumārajīva had already pounced on the two women.

The two women were initially terrified, but unfortunately, the difference in strength was too great, and they had no way to hide.

However, the two women's expressions suddenly changed, and they both started smiling broadly.

Kumārajīva was initially puzzled by the sight, but then he seemed to sense something, his soul nearly leaving his body. At the last second, he dodged the attack with a lazy roll.

Even though his response was timely enough, his monk's robe was still mostly torn apart by a sword strike.

As Kumārajīva recovered from his shock, he looked in the direction of the two women.

A figure in black appeared there, holding a purple longsword.

They were also initially stunned by Gu Hanyuan's appearance.

Especially that cold, sharp gaze; just seeing it on you sends chills down your spine.

Gu Hanyuan, holding the demonic sword, spoke with his back to the two women.

"Why not hide?"

Although it was still that cold voice, it gave Mu Wanqing a completely different feeling.

He blurted out, "I believe you."

After saying that, she blushed deeply, and even Zhong Ling looked at her in surprise.

I thought to myself, Mu Wanqing grasped it pretty quickly.

Zhong Ling said that that night.

"If you want Brother Wutian to like you, the first thing you have to do is to trust him unconditionally."

Gu Hanyuan was also stunned for a moment, then chuckled.

"Was it Ling'er who taught you, Miss Mu?"

This was the first time she had heard Gu Hanyuan laugh so easily at her, and the first time she had realized that a man's voice could be so pleasant.

"That's what I think too. I will try my best to always believe in you."

Mu Wanqing's expression was resolute. She was the kind of person who would become irrational once she fell in love, and now she was going to hand over her irrationality to Gu Hanyuan.

"I'll see."

Although the plan was disrupted, I have to say it felt pretty good.

"And Ling'er, I'll deal with you when we get back."

Gu Hanyuan could certainly guess that Zhong Ling must have said something to Mu Wanqing.

Zhong Ling stuck out her tongue, not daring to argue, only hoping that Gu Hanyuan would go easy on her because she was being so obedient.

In a pleasant mood, the murderous intent lessened considerably.

However, Kumārajīva on the other side dared not lower his guard in the slightest.

If I hadn't dodged in time, I would have been pierced through the heart.

Moreover, the power of the sword energy is much greater than that of Duan Yu's "Six Meridian Divine Sword".

"Who are you? And what kind of swordsmanship is this?"

"I am Wutian, 'Holy Spirit Sword Technique'."

Gu Hanyuan was also preparing to make a name for the Holy Spirit Sword Technique.

“‘Holy Spirit Sword Technique?’ I’ve never heard of it before. I never imagined there was a sword technique even stronger than the ‘Six Meridian Divine Sword’.”

Kumārajīva was a martial arts fanatic, and his heart would burn with excitement upon seeing exquisite martial arts techniques.

"If you want to harm my people, you'll have to pay the price. Take my move just like Ku Rong and the others."

Gu Hanyuan has no immediate plans to kill Kumārajīva. This man is quite useful, so it's better to show him mercy.

Zhong Ling, who was behind him, knew Gu Hanyuan's personality well; he seemed indifferent, but in reality, he was very protective of his own.

When Mu Wanqing heard that she had also been categorized as one of his people, she was momentarily dazed.

My heart was racing, my face was flushed, and my clenched hands were sweating.

She murmured, "Is this what it feels like to be smitten?"

Kumārajīva finally understood why nearly half of the Tianlong Temple's casualties had occurred today. It turned out that the person in front of him had injured them, which allowed him to get away with it today.

"I'm eager to learn from your superior skills."

He unleashed his signature move, the "Flaming Blade," and focused intently on the attack.

"Sword Twenty-Two."

Dozens of sword energies shot out from the demonic sword.

"Sword Twenty-Two" actually no longer has a limit on the number of sword energies, and is faster, stronger, and has more than "Sword Twenty-One".

If he were to unleash the full power of "Sword Twenty-Two," Kumārajīva would instantly become a blood-soaked figure.

The scene looks grand now, but in reality, less than one-tenth of its power is being controlled.

However, even so, it is not something that an ordinary person can stop.

Kumārajīva truly deserves to be one of the Four Great Masters of "Demi-Gods and Semi-Devils". With the peak Grandmaster realm, the ultimate skill "Flame Blade", and several of the Seventy-Two Shaolin Arts, ordinary peak Grandmasters are no match for him.

Of course, he hasn't learned the "Lesser Formless Skill" yet, so this isn't his peak period.

Chapter 45: A Farewell Kiss to Mu Wanqing

Kumārajīva desperately tried to neutralize the sword energy of "Sword Twenty-Two," unleashing a series of ultimate techniques, including "Flame Blade," "Formless Finger," "Flower-Plucking Finger," and "Tara Leaf Finger."

Even though he had used all his strength, the number of places on his body that were cut and pierced by the sword energy was increasing.

Fortunately, Gu Hanyuan saw that he had reached his limit and was pretending to have exhausted his control over the sword energy.

However, Kumārajīva's condition was still not very good.

Although there were no serious injuries, there were still many wounds, and the bleeding alone could kill a person.

Kumārajīva breathed a sigh of relief and quickly put his hands together and put on his robe.

"Thank you for your mercy. I will repay this favor in the future if I have the opportunity. Having witnessed such divine skill today, I am completely convinced. The 'Six Meridians Divine Sword' is simply not worth mentioning."

Even with Kumārajīva's keen eye, he could still see that Gu Hanyuan had shown him mercy.

Although I don't know why, I have to accept this favor.

Otherwise, it would be easy for the other party to kill him.

He was even a little afraid to go to the Song Kingdom, worried that if all the martial arts in the Central Plains were of this level, then he would be practically going to his death.

If Gu Hanyuan knew what he was thinking, he would probably be both amused and exasperated.

The original intention was to use Kumārajīva to spread the name of Wutian and the "Holy Spirit Sword Technique" to the Song Kingdom, but even though he showed mercy, he was still frightened.

Gu Hanyuan waved his hand, signaling Kumārajīva to get lost.

Kumārajīva wisely and respectfully took his leave.

He was in a hurry to treat his injuries; if he bled any longer, he would really die.

Seeing that the crisis at Tianlong Temple had been averted, Duan Yu hurriedly came forward to express his gratitude.

Gu Hanyuan gave a perfunctory reply.

At this moment, Zhong Ling hugged Mu Wanqing from behind and whispered something in her ear.

"Don't you think Brother Wutian is especially charming?"

"Ah."

Mu Wanqing answered Zhong Ling's question subconsciously, and her blush deepened after she realized what she had said.

Somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, she turned around and pinched Zhong Ling's face.

"Ling'er, you've really gone astray!"

The two women were playfully bickering until Duan Yu went to Duan Zhengming to discuss withdrawing his decision to temporarily pass the throne to Duan Zhengchun.

Gu Hanyuan turned around and looked at the two women's beautiful and playful fight.

Mu Wanqing became somewhat flustered and quieted down after noticing Gu Hanyuan's gaze.

Gu Hanyuan walked up to Mu Wanqing and gently stroked the hair on her head.

"Take it easy."

Mu Wanqing seemed to have been truly comforted, and her previously tense body gradually relaxed.

But my heart started beating even faster.

"Brother Wutian, I want one too."

Zhong Ling raised her hand next to Mu Wanqing, indicating that they should not show favoritism.

Gu Hanyuan did not refuse and gave Zhong Ling a "head pat" in return.
