Excessive ferocity due to caution

The sound was definitely not loud.

But it appeared at the crucial moment when everyone was most relaxed.

Thus, this soft sound became the thing that attracted everyone's attention the most...

They looked in the direction of the sound.

A down-on-his-luck scholar in blue robes.

A woman who is seven parts heroic and three parts delicate.

There was also a man in a black brocade robe with a sinister smile.

The one who spoke was the black-robed man standing in the middle.

The moment he saw him, the ruthless thug blocking his path was filled with nameless rage and shouted:

"Where did this stray dog ​​come from?"

"You dare tell your grandpa to make way?"

"You don't know that your grandfather is known in the martial arts world as..."

He stopped abruptly before he could finish speaking.

Those eyes were wide open, staring intently.

My back... was covered in cold sweat.

The tip of Su Qingyao's green umbrella had somehow touched his brow!

"My leader doesn't like to repeat himself."

Su Qingyao spoke gently.

But the terrifying killing intent made the burly man tremble all over.

He is... a master of the Transcendent Mortal Realm!

The people around scattered in a flash, looking at Zhao Yi and his two companions with surprised and suspicious expressions!

The burly man was so terrified he was about to wet himself, and he stammered:

"Please don't lay a hand on me, heroine... I'll leave right now, I'll leave right now!"

After saying that, he took two or three steps back and ran away in a panic.

The crowd tactfully made way for them.

Zhao Yi slowly walked to the bottom of the stone platform.

There are no fancy or flashy light-footed skills.

He then walked up the steps one by one.

Every step was exceptionally steady.

at last.

He stood before the drunken old Taoist priest.

"Give Way."

Again.

His tone remained unchanged.

In Zhao Yi's eyes, the old Taoist priest at the Tongtian Mortal Realm was no different from the thug from the martial arts world.

The drunken old Taoist priest's expression became unusually serious.

It wasn't directed at Zhao Yi, but rather... at the maidservant beside him.

Su Qingyao and the green umbrella in her hand made him sense danger!

However, the Drunken Old Taoist has been a figure of life and death in the martial world for so many years, and he is not someone who can be easily frightened.

He stood up from the rocking chair, faced Zhao Yi, and said in a deep voice:

"The rules of the observatory..."

"You can only pass after you've passed ten moves by the old Taoist priest."

The wind was biting cold against the cliff.

The cold carried a hint of icy chill.

Just like Zhao Yi's gaze.

His fingertips lightly brushed the dust from his sleeve, and he said softly:

"Ten moves...you dare to challenge me?"

These words shocked all the martial arts practitioners on the mountain!

Who is this mysterious young man?

How dare they speak so arrogantly to a master of the Transcendent Mortal Realm?

Everyone tried to pair Zhao Yi with the famous martial arts master known for his brain, but they couldn't find a suitable match at all.

The drunken old Taoist's gaze sharpened.

Anger ignited in his heart.

Having roamed the martial world for so many years, since he entered the Heavenly Mortal Realm, no one has ever dared to speak to him like that!

Even the royal family of Lu treated him with utmost respect!

Today, a young man with absolutely no trace of internal energy cultivation actually looks down on him like this!

How could he possibly tolerate this?

"You ignorant brat!"

"Today, this old Taoist priest will show you... what it truly means to transcend the mortal realm!"

The drunken Taoist shouted angrily, and with a flick of his sleeve, the three-foot-long Green Serpent Sword in his sleeve transformed into a point of rainbow light, aiming straight for Zhao Yi's brow!

At such close range... there's absolutely no way to avoid it, no way to dodge it!

With a single strike, it's a fatal blow!

Upon seeing this sword, the crowd below suddenly realized that... the drunken old Taoist priest hadn't been serious at all when he was fighting them earlier!

In just a fleeting moment.

The Taoist's Green Snake Sword was less than a foot away from his brow!

"Too slow."

Zhao smiled.

He didn't even blink.

It was in this instant that...

The green umbrella beside them had already arrived first, accurately striking the seven-inch mark on the blade of the Green Serpent Sword!

The Green Serpent Sword immediately let out a mournful cry.

The immense ghostly power surged through the sword like a dragon, almost causing the Taoist to drop his Green Snake Sword!

Left with no other choice, he had to sheathe his sword and retreat.

The sword's momentum dissipated!

Just as the Taoist was about to change his sword moves and attack Zhao Yi again, he suddenly smelled a fragrance of peach blossoms!

He looked up, only to see peach blossoms fluttering everywhere!

The Taoist priest became alert.

It's the dead of winter, so where would the peach blossoms come from?

He reached out and pinched a fluttering peach blossom, but deep bloodstains appeared on his fingertips!

At this moment, the Taoist finally realized the truth!

These aren't peach blossoms at all.

This is clearly Su Qingyao's sword intent!

Peach blossoms fill the sky... Swords fill the sky!

The Taoist priest was overwhelmed by the peach blossoms and could not see anything.

Until the green umbrella reappeared before him... he was already kneeling in front of Zhao Yi.

The Green Snake Sword broke.

The candle of life is about to go out.

Zhao Yi looked at the Taoist priest in front of him, whose body was covered in sword wounds, and laughed:

"I told you to move aside..."

Why won't you listen?

The Taoist's lips twitched.

But he was no longer able to speak.

The light in his eyes completely disappeared.

Do not look down.

All around was completely silent.

Only the fierce cliff winds continued to echo.

Its coldness served as a stark reminder to the tens of thousands of martial arts practitioners watching from the mountaintop...

Everything that just happened was not an illusion!

A peerless master at the Transcendent Mortal Realm... was instantly killed by that black-robed man's maid with a single sword strike!

So amazing!

What is the background of that black-robed man who looks so young?

Even a maidservant by my side... is this strong?

Everyone began to speculate about Zhao Yi's background, their eyes fixed on the man who hadn't made any extra movements throughout, searching for him.

Ignoring the eager stares, Zhao Yi led the two onto the cable car and headed towards the other side of the cliff...

On the way, Su Xingcan looked back at the stone platform, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

"The Thirteen Kills of Heaven... Fallen Blood..."

"Miss Su... what exactly is your relationship with Qingxue...?"

...

A tavern in the suburbs.

A gentle breeze was blowing through the woods.

It made a rustling sound.

Suddenly, a stunningly handsome man dressed in white appeared in front of the tavern.

He held a sword in his left hand and a dripping human head in his right.

The human head's expression retained the terror it felt before death.

The man glanced at the corpse in the tavern and remained silent.

A moment later, the man in white threw the head into the tavern.

They set a fire.

Immediately afterwards, his figure vanished from the spot, as if he had never been there at all...

...

Inside a secluded teahouse, Hongyu slowly shook the blood off her sword.

Inside, the floor was littered with corpses.

The tea is still warm.

Her master, Fan Qingxue, liked to wear white.

Because Fan Qingxue never spills blood on her clothes when she kills someone.

Hongyu knew that her sword was not as fast as Fan Qingxue's.

That's why she always wears a red dress.

In this way, whether it's killing someone or getting injured... you won't see any blood on your body.

"Reporting to Lord Hongyu, we have found no trace of Lord Fan..."

A man in black stood behind Red Fish, kneeling on one knee.

"Also, I have something to say... but I don't know if I should say it."

Red Fish said coldly:

"explain."

The man in black felt a chill run down his spine, but he still forced himself to speak:

"If Lord Fan doesn't want us to find him... then even if we search every inch of Lu, we probably still won't find him..."

The red fish did not answer.

With her fingertips, she gently wiped away the bloodstains from the sword.

The man in black continued:

"Although we haven't found any trace of Lord Fan, our brothers in the east sent an urgent report not long ago, saying that several fast horses are galloping towards Yinxia Mountain..."

The red fish suddenly raised its head, a terrifying light flashing in its cold eyes!

"Yin Xiashan... Ren Wudi..."

"them……"

"They actually want to release this terrifying demon?!"

PS: This is the third update, a bit late.

Brothers and sisters, get some rest!

An'an!
