In the Demon Suppression Division: Crimson Words Nurture the Blade, Slaying Demons to Prove the Dao

Wei Xuanfeng nodded slightly, signaling Madam Huang to follow.

Just as the two left the secret room and were about to break down the door, he suddenly stopped and turned back to the bedside.

Hua Xinning stared at him with wide eyes, her expression filled with surprise and uncertainty.

"Help her put her clothes on."

Wei Xuanfeng gave an instruction to Madam Huang, then turned his back.

He thought to himself.

If we rush out with Madam Huang, it will surely alert the guards in the mansion. When everyone rushes in to investigate, Hua Xinning will be naked and her acupoints will be sealed. If she is not careful, she will be exposed to a group of men.

Although he didn't have a close relationship with this woman, perhaps because of the guilt he felt from their earlier entanglement, he ultimately didn't want her to suffer such humiliation.

Madam Huang was slightly taken aback. Although she had doubts, she still went forward to help Hua Xinning change her clothes as instructed.

Lifting the covers, she was startled to find the other woman completely naked. She instinctively glanced back at Wei Xuanfeng, and seeing that he remained with his back to them, she secretly breathed a sigh of relief. While dressing Hua Xinning, her fingertips inevitably touched her skin, and the smooth, supple texture made Madam Huang feel a pang of envy.

After she was dressed, she secretly admired him even more...

Such a woman truly embodies the essence of heaven and earth, and deserves the title of "exquisite beauty".

"alright."

Madam Huang returned to Wei Xuanfeng's side and whispered, the lingering warmth of his skin still seeming to linger between her fingers.

Wei Xuanfeng nodded, then turned and walked to Hua Xinning, half-squatting down and whispering in her ear.

"What happened just now was abrupt, but I must admit it was a rather wonderful memory... We will surely meet again someday."

After saying this, he chuckled lightly, casually released her pressure points, then grabbed Madam Huang's waist, leaped out of the door, and the guards outside immediately cried out in surprise.

With the restrictions lifted from Hua Xinning's body, she slowly sat up from the bed, savoring the words the man had spoken before he left. Unconsciously, she raised her hand to gently touch her burning cheeks, sitting on the edge of the bed in a daze, lost in thought for a moment.

Wei Xuanfeng had been proceeding cautiously beforehand because he was worried that alerting the guards of Ningguo Prefecture would delay the important task of rescuing people.

Now that he knew Hu Murong was not there, he had no more scruples. He carried Madam Huang and charged straight out, and the guards could not stop him.

Relying on his unparalleled lightness skill, he quickly shook off his pursuers and landed in a secluded alley.

"Senior, I can walk by myself now."

Madam Huang suddenly spoke. Apart from her deceased husband, she had never been so close to a man in her life, feeling the intense masculine energy emanating from him, and she felt both shy and awkward.

She also played a little trick here, deliberately addressing him as "senior," both to show respect and to create distance...

She thought to herself: I've already considered myself a junior, so you can't possibly take advantage of me anymore.

Wei Xuanfeng glanced at her but did not let go.

"Madam, who exactly are you? Why are you in the Gongsun residence? And why is Gongsun Zhen interrogating you?" He was certain that this person had something to hide.

After a moment's hesitation, Madam Huang slowly said, "Senior, my husband's surname is Huang."

"Madam Huang," Wei Xuanfeng called out.

Madam Huang did not reveal her name, but Wei Xuanfeng guessed her intentions...

These days, not all women are comfortable revealing their names, just as they wouldn't casually show their feet.

Madam Huang tried to push Wei Xuanfeng away, but found that she couldn't move him at all.

Left with no other choice, she had to explain in detail why she had been abducted by the Gongsun family.

The story is rather cliché...

Her husband was also a martial arts master, his Huang family saber technique was unparalleled in the martial arts world. Unfortunately, he was betrayed by a villain and died young, leaving behind a widow and her two children, as well as the Huang family saber technique.

The Gongsun family had long coveted this sword technique, so they kidnapped her daughter.

Lady Huang sneaks into the Gongsun residence at night in search of her son, but is captured after her attempt fails...

Upon hearing this, Wei Xuanfeng couldn't help but feel a pang of sympathy for the woman before him.

It seems the Gongsun family really does consider Kangcheng their own territory...

They would abduct any beautiful woman they saw, and seize any divine skills they encountered.

"Madam Huang, it just so happens that my companion has also been kidnapped by the Gongsun family. Since we seem to share the same goal," Wei Xuanfeng said, "how about we cooperate?"

"Cooperation..." Madam Huang hesitated for a moment, "It's a pity I'm injured, otherwise my little skill could indeed be of help to you, senior."

"It's alright."

From the physical contact just now, Wei Xuanfeng had already ascertained the severity of her injuries...

It was just a few broken ribs.

After saying that, he picked up Madam Huang and used his lightness skill to fly through the city.

Madam Huang was tall and slender, yet when held in my arms, she was as soft and boneless as if she weighed nothing at all.

As Wei Xuanfeng followed her, he inhaled her faint fragrance. Occasionally, their skin touched, and he felt her smooth, snow-white skin, which stirred his heartstrings slightly.

Finally finding an abandoned, dilapidated house, Wei Xuanfeng spread a thick layer of dry grass on the ground before gently setting Madam Huang down.

"Um……"

It must have aggravated her wound, for Madam Huang let out a soft moan, her face showing pain.

Seeing her fair skin and pure, holy aura, Wei Xuanfeng didn't dare to act rashly for a moment.

He silently despised himself...

He said he was looking for help, but wasn't he just after this woman's beauty...?

The so-called inspection of the injury was just a pretext. The other party was injured in the chest, and he just wanted to find a plausible reason to take advantage of the situation.

"Madam, how are your injuries? I couldn't check on you just now." Wei Xuanfeng helped her up, feeling the soft, fragrant flesh beneath his touch.

"I'm afraid my ribs are broken." Madam Huang blushed, subtly broke free from his embrace, and said with a frown.

She was annoyed: This man is so rude. I already said my deceased husband's surname was Huang, but he deliberately omitted the word "Huang".

If outsiders heard this, they would think I was his wife!

"Madam, let's heal our injuries first before going to the Gongsun residence," Wei Xuanfeng said, helping Madam Huang sit down.

"No need, let's just go directly to the Gongsun residence."

Madam Huang's face flushed even more, and she shook her head. She thought to herself: this place is far from the market; a round trip would take countless hours.

Besides, most doctors in the world these days are men; how could I let a strange man touch such a private place...

Wei Xuanfeng had seen this kind of scene many times in plays. Seeing her hesitant expression, he immediately understood, but pretended not to know: "Is Madam worried that the round trip will take too long? I've been ill for a long time and have become somewhat skilled in bone setting. If Madam doesn't mind, I can set your broken bone for you before you go after him, how about that?"

"How can this be!" Madam Huang's pretty face immediately turned as red as a cloth, and she stammered, "You and I... there's a difference between men and women, how can this be convenient..."

"Now your daughter and my companion are both in imminent danger. I am alone and powerless, and can only rely on your help, madam."

It is proper for men and women not to touch each other; it is permissible for a sister-in-law to rescue a drowning woman with her hand. Brother Huang, if he has a spirit in heaven, he will not blame you.”

Wei Xuanfeng said solemnly.

When Madam Huang heard his incoherent words, her expression immediately became strange. She thought to herself that her late husband was a man of great spirit and would not care about such things, but she was a woman after all, so how could she not mind?

"The head of the Gongsun family is dead; I'm afraid they'll take their anger out on your daughter..."

Seeing that she was still hesitating, Wei Xuanfeng added fuel to the fire.

Madam Huang's heart tightened. In the end, her maternal instincts overcame her feminine reserve, and she gritted her teeth.

"S-senpai, please promise me that from now on you will completely forget what happened today."

"Of course." Wei Xuanfeng's expression turned serious. "Don't worry, Madam, I will cover my eyes with a strip of cloth and will never see anything I shouldn't see."

Madam Huang finally breathed a sigh of relief and nodded almost imperceptibly.

"Well... alright then." A barely perceptible smile flickered across Wei Xuanfeng's lips as he tore off a strip of cloth and blindfolded himself. Seeing this, Madam Huang also shyly unbuttoned her clothes, removing them one by one.

He heard the rustling of clothes by his side, and Wei Xuanfeng couldn't help but imagine what the scene would look like. However, he didn't dare to actually tear off the strip of cloth.

"Senior...it's alright..." Madam Huang said timidly.

"Madam, please bear with it." Wei Xuanfeng reached out his hand.

"Oh dear! What are you doing? Your ribs are down there..." Mrs. Huang was both angry and anxious, her eyes reddening with grievance.

"My apologies, my apologies," Wei Xuanfeng apologized repeatedly, but in his heart he was still savoring the delicate, smooth touch of her hand that had just been grasped, and he was secretly pleased with himself...

It was definitely worth reading "The Return of the Condor Heroes." I never imagined I'd have the chance to emulate Yang Guo's move against Lu Wushuang. His offer to blindfold himself seemed like a gentlemanly act, but in reality, he had already planned everything.

If someone is blind and accidentally touches something they shouldn't, the lady of the house has no way to blame them...

Indeed, her skin was as smooth as jade, and the touch from her fingertips made Wei Xuanfeng's heart flutter slightly. However, he did not dare to go too far and finally managed to properly set Madam Huang's broken bones.

After she finished dressing, Wei Xuanfeng tore off the strip of cloth, revealing a pretty face that was so red it looked like it was about to drip water.

Madam Huang feigned composure and said, "Senior, let's hurry up and set off; saving lives is the priority."

To everyone's surprise, Wei Xuanfeng acted completely contrary to common sense and showed no intention of letting go.

"Senior? Shouldn't you call me benefactor?"

He applied a little more pressure, bringing the two of them closer and closer.

The beautiful woman's expression changed slightly, but she forced herself to remain calm and said, "Can you release me now, my benefactor?"

She didn't want to completely provoke this person... After all, he had just displayed skills far surpassing those of the demon Gongsun Zhen, and making an enemy out of thin air would be unwise.

Wei Xuanfeng smiled and said, "Since you call me your benefactor, I saved you and preserved your innocence. What do you plan to do to repay me?"

The beautiful woman's heart sank, and she forced a smile: "I wonder how my benefactor would like me to repay him?" She couldn't help but think of Hua Xinning, who had been robbed of all her clothes just now, and guessed that it was this man's doing... It seems that this man is just like Gongsun Zhen, a shameless lecher who loves women.

"How about you repay me with your body?" Wei Xuanfeng chuckled, but before he could finish speaking, his smile froze on his face. "Oh my god..."

He suddenly squeezed his legs together, barely managing to block the beautiful woman's sudden upward knee strike, cold sweat beading on his forehead.

Fortunately, I reacted quickly enough, otherwise I might have ended up like Gongsun Zhen, losing everything.

Coming to his senses, Wei Xuanfeng couldn't help but retort angrily, "You're too ruthless! How can you repay kindness with enmity?"

The beautiful woman bit her lower lip and coldly retorted, "To deal with a shameless person, one must use ruthless methods. It's just a pity that you managed to dodge it." She knew she had lost the initiative, and given the vast difference in their martial arts skills, she had no room for resistance. Her heart had already sunk to the bottom.

Seeing this, Wei Xuanfeng stopped teasing her and let go of her hand, laughing, "Alright, alright, it was just a joke, don't take it seriously."

After saying that, he turned his back and gestured for Madam Huang to straighten her clothes herself.

When the two returned to the vicinity of Gongsun's residence, Wei Xuanfeng stopped and saw a scout from the Northern Garrison who spotted him from afar and quickly came to greet him.

"Commander Wei!" The scout was an old man from the Northern Garrison Command. He had been with the command for more than ten years. Although he was senior, his skills were mediocre, and he was still only a captain.

"What are you doing here?" Wei Xuanfeng recognized him.

"It was Commander Jiao who sent me to lend you a hand!" the scout replied.

Hearing that it was Jiao Yu who sent him, Wei Xuanfeng felt slightly relieved, nodded, and pressed on, "Do you have any information about Hu Murong?"

The scout shook his head. Wei Xuanfeng looked disappointed, but did not blame him. He simply instructed, "If there's no news, continue investigating. You stay here and keep an eye on the movements reported by all parties. Report back immediately if there's any progress."

"Yes!" The scout clasped his hands in a salute, then turned and left.

Wei Xuanfeng gradually calmed down a bit... After all, the best time to rescue him had passed, and if Hu Murong had really been killed, it would probably be too late to save him now.

He led Madam Huang back to the inner hall, where Wen Shihan had been waiting impatiently. Upon seeing his return, she was overjoyed. However, when her gaze fell upon the beautiful woman beside him, she paused, abruptly stopping her from stepping forward.

"Wei Xuanfeng, who is this lady?" Wen Shihan asked tentatively.

"Her surname is Huang. I rescued her by chance at the Gongsun residence." Wei Xuanfeng's mind was entirely on Hu Murong, so he answered casually without considering the two women's thoughts.

"Hello, Sister Huang."

Wen Shihan smiled politely at Madam Huang, but secretly wondered: Judging from their appearance, could they be an old acquaintance? Perhaps an old flame...

"Greetings, Miss Wen." Madam Huang was also sizing up Wen Shihan. As a woman herself, she couldn't help but be amazed by the other's beauty, thinking to herself: Wei Xuanfeng is indeed quite the ladies' man. How could she not see that if she hadn't been there, Wen Shihan would probably have already thrown herself into Wei Xuanfeng's arms?

"Wei Xuanfeng, is there any news about Hu Murong?"

Wen Shihan approached and asked with concern. Wei Xuanfeng shook his head, saying nothing more, but unfolded a map of Kangcheng and studied it intently. After a while, he suddenly remembered something and casually said to Wen Shihan, "Shihan, Madam Huang has traveled a long way and just escaped from the Gongsun family. Why don't you take her to wash up and rest?"

"Okay." Wen Shihan responded and stepped forward to take Madam Huang's hand. "Sister Huang, come with me."

Madam Huang had indeed been exhausted both mentally and physically these past few days. Now that she relaxed, she felt a wave of drowsiness wash over her. She smiled gratefully and said, "Thank you, Miss Wen."

After the two women left, Wei Xuanfeng pondered over the map alone for a long time.

Not long after, the scout returned again: "Commander Wei, I have sent my men to search all over the city. We have searched 20% of the area so far, but we have not found any clues yet."

He looked anxious, fearing that Wei Xuanfeng would take his anger out on him.

Wei Xuanfeng did not blame him...

Kangcheng is a vast city, and it is already quite an achievement to have searched one-fifth of it in such a short time.

He pointed to a location on the map: "Try sending more people to the Bamboo Pole Alley area."

"Yes." The scout turned and left without asking why. Over the past few days, he had come to have complete faith in Wei Xuanfeng, and there must be a reason for such an order.

Watching the scout's departing figure, Wei Xuanfeng unconsciously rubbed his temples.

Actually, he didn't have high hopes for Bamboo Pole Alley... Although he lost track of the person there, it didn't necessarily mean that the person was hiding nearby.

A cold glint flashed in his eyes, and his chill deepened: "Hu Murong, if the Gongsun family dares to lay a finger on you, I will make the entire family pay with their lives."

Just then, he caught a glimpse of a figure flashing by out of the corner of his eye.

He followed the trail and caught a glimpse of a dark figure darting past the window from a secluded corner.

"Hmm? Such incredible lightness skill?"

Wei Xuanfeng was slightly taken aback.

Those light-foot skills that catch his eye must be among the best in the martial arts world.

His expression immediately became subtle...

Flower thieves in the martial arts world are often skilled in light-footed techniques, but this person's sneaky behavior doesn't seem to indicate a legitimate background.

Could it be from the Gongsun family?

Upon realizing this, he could no longer suppress his worry and immediately followed quietly.

The man in black was incredibly agile and extremely vigilant, constantly turning back to check if he was being followed.

Fortunately, Wei Xuanfeng's lightness skill has now reached a state of perfection, otherwise he might have been detected by the other party.

Seeing that the man was not heading into the city, but instead heading in the opposite direction, Wei Xuanfeng finally felt a little relieved...

They realized they weren't there to investigate them.

However, he immediately frowned, because the direction the man in black had gone seemed quite familiar.

But for a moment, he couldn't recall the other person's identity.

After following for a while, Wei Xuanfeng was near a dense forest outside the city.

Suddenly, a group of warriors dressed in black armor and riding black horses leaped out of the forest and blocked the road.

Damn, we've fallen for their trap!

Wei Xuanfeng realized something was wrong and was about to turn and flee when the black-clad warriors launched their attack.

Wei Xuanfeng had no choice but to hastily advance to meet the enemy.

The road is wide enough to accommodate a dozen horses side by side.

The black-clad warriors stood in a horizontal line, silent and their horses were still. Though there were only ten riders, they resembled a group of deadly ghostly messengers.

As martial arts practitioners, those at the front of the line could feel the overwhelming pressure from afar.

Considering that he had just killed the head of the Gongsun family, the identities of the black-clad warriors in front of him were self-evident.

Before the two riders could pick up speed, they were already facing Wei Xuanfeng head-on.

They unleashed a barrage of gunfire, and a surge of dark energy rolled forth.

However, all of this was illusory in Wei Xuanfeng's eyes.

Compared to him in terms of speed and skill, the black-clad warriors' marksmanship was far too slow...

Perhaps much faster than the Xuanlan Wolf Demon, but definitely not as fast as myself!

Wei Xuanfeng easily locked the two spears in place, knocked them away with his left and right arm guards, and before the black-clad warriors could react, he struck them both in the chest with his fists.

The click sounded crisp and clear.

Wei Xuanfeng heard it clearly, and watching the two black-clad warriors fly backward, he sneered inwardly...

In a battle between masters, a moment of carelessness can decide the outcome!

The remaining eight black-clad warriors immediately sensed the strength of the newcomer and immediately surrounded him, turning to face their formidable enemy.

Even after witnessing their two companions being defeated in one move, they remained completely unfazed.

Eight lifeless faces, which were both incomprehensible and chilling.

What hurt Wei Xuanfeng's pride the most was that the two black-clad warriors who had been knocked to the ground quickly got up, as if the heavy punch to their chest had never happened.

He clearly heard the sound of bones breaking just now; there's no mistake...

Unless one is a martial artist or demon beast with an exceptionally strong physique, no living being can withstand his full-force attack without being seriously injured.

Only after the two black-clad warriors turned back to fight did Wei Xuanfeng realize what was happening...

The two monsters appeared unharmed, but black blood kept gushing from their mouths, clearly indicating that his punches were not ineffective.

Even the most powerful martial artists cannot fight while coughing up blood as if nothing is wrong.

They were on drugs, or they possessed some kind of treasure that could suppress the pain!

Wei Xuanfeng suppressed his doubts for the time being and slowly drew his long-unsheathed Embroidered Spring Blade...

Encountering such a monster, I'm afraid I'll have to practice the art of dismemberment today.

The black-clad warriors were not afraid of him. They readjusted their formation and launched another group charge.

Wei Xuanfeng shook his head slightly...

Are these living dead out of their minds?

Knowing he was incredibly fast, they still launched a surprise attack on horseback.

He wouldn't risk taking on a cavalry charge just to cover the slower mercenaries behind him.

The black-clad warrior, naturally unable to fathom Wei Xuanfeng's thoughts, resorted to the same tactic for the third time.

Wei Xuanfeng stood tall with his sword in hand. Only when the black spear was about to pierce him did he suddenly leap up and slash three times in mid-air.

The three blades struck the black spear as it parried, leaving three deep gashes on the shaft...

This black gun may seem unremarkable, but it is a rare and powerful weapon.

The black-clad warrior wasn't truly stupid.

As Wei Xuanfeng counterattacked, four black-clad warriors on both sides simultaneously leaped off their horses, their spears thrusting straight at their prey in mid-air.

Wei Xuanfeng spun rapidly in the air, his body enveloped in a blaze of sword light. The spear shafts, carrying black energy, thrust forward simultaneously, only to be knocked away by him.

Although the black energy was still powerful, it could not break through the barrier protecting his internal energy.

Once Wei Xuanfeng landed safely, the other three black-clad warriors had already abandoned their horses and attacked on foot.

He spun like a top into the midst of the three men's spear thrusts, the sounds of clashing swords and spears filling the air.

The Shadowless Assassin fully utilized his speed and close-quarters combat skills, preventing the black-clad warrior from launching a single attack and forcing him to retreat repeatedly despite his wounds.

Only at this moment did the leading warrior completely abandon his horse.

The ten black-clad warriors immediately changed their tactics...

They tried their best to avoid being approached by Wei Xuanfeng, relying on their numbers and the length of their spears to surround and attack their opponent from a distance.

In this way, Wei Xuanfeng would find it difficult to launch a fierce attack on one person...

Every time he tried to close the distance, several spears would come flying from other directions, forcing him to turn around and defend himself.

Although his strong physique allowed him to block the spear tip from piercing him, he could not dissipate the spear's force.

A full-force strike from a martial artist at the peak of the Martial Arts Realm, even delivered with a blunt weapon, is enough to injure someone.

The battle reached a stalemate.

Wei Xuanfeng wasn't afraid of the cost...

With the power of Heaven's Movement, even using the most energy-consuming moves, he can fight for days and nights.

Of course, Wei Xuanfeng was not someone who relied solely on brute force.

He had a simple way to break through the enemy's encirclement...

Utilize terrain obstacles.

The most convenient and effective method is not using trees, but using large trees around you.

A cluster of large trees was enough to block the attack of half of the black-clad warriors.

The large tree could not withstand the erosion of the black energy.

The black-clad warriors, attacking relentlessly, smashed the carts without hesitation, treating them as obstacles. Coupled with the occasional flashes of light from Wei Xuanfeng's blade, the ten large carts were instantly torn to pieces by this group of peerless experts.

Various shredded goods were scattered all over the road.

Taking advantage of the terrain, Wei Xuanfeng severed the arms of three black-clad warriors, while the remaining seven were also covered in wounds and knife marks.

If it were a human martial artist, they would have died countless times already.

These black-clad warriors were already black from head to toe, and now, covered in black blood, they were even blacker than before.

These things are so weird!

Wei Xuanfeng was unwilling to slowly grind down these undead creatures when, just then, he seemed to hear something...

……
