My Arrogant Young Lady

At this moment, Oda Seiji was lying on the bed on top of Nie Xiaohai and Wang Huan. He was already a master who was only half a step away from becoming an immortal, and his breathing was completely inaudible. They had no idea whether Oda Seiji was asleep or awake. For a master like Oda Seiji, if they moved even slightly, he might immediately discover them and kill them.

Fortunately, Oda Seiji possessed so many treasures that he didn't notice some were missing from the room. If Oda Seiji were a stingy miser, he would have immediately found Nie Xiaohai and Wang Huan and killed them upon discovering the missing treasures.

But how can they leave?

Thinking of this, Wang Huan remained lying in the same position on the floor, feeling his arm go numb. He and Nie Xiaohai looked at each other, watching the time pass by, from darkness to dawn.

"Lord Demon King, it's time for breakfast." In the early morning, someone pushed open the door to Oda Seiji's room and said.

"Okay." Hearing someone call him, Oda Seiji got off the bed, washed up carefully, and left the room.

"Xiao Hai, Oda Seiji is gone. We can think of a way to escape now." Upon hearing that Oda Seiji had left, Wang Huan immediately woke Nie Xiao Hai, who was pretending to be asleep, and said.

"Did they leave?" Nie Xiaohai's eyes were red from not sleeping all night.

“Yes, let’s leave quickly, otherwise my brother won’t know about Oda Seiji’s plan and he’ll come looking for him, which would be terrible,” Wang Huan said.

However, just as the two of them were about to leave, they heard a cheerful voice coming from downstairs, "Oda, you little punk, your master is here to see you!"

"It's over..." Upon hearing that familiar voice, Wang Huan's dark circles under his eyes instantly became even darker...

Chapter 372 The Heavenly Demon King Makes His Move

The ancient town in Jiangnan is a tourist area, primarily for appreciating its scenery. The entire town consists of rows of traditional-style inns; stepping into it feels like stepping back in time. The average cost of a night's stay in an inn within the tourist area is around 1,500 yuan. This is during the off-season; prices will be even higher during peak season.

Originally, this place was reserved by the head of the Wang family to host a martial arts tournament. Now, it has been occupied by Oda Seiji and his men, and the entire ancient town is filled with Oda Seiji's subordinates.

While Oda Seiji and his six Heavenly Demons, along with Prince Aurora and the three Heavenly Kings, were dining downstairs, Oda Seiji's eyes narrowed slightly upon hearing someone call him "little bastard."

Then, Oda Seiji couldn't help but look up at the door and saw a handsome young man walking towards him with a mischievous grin, his body radiating a rich spiritual aura. At that moment, a strange smile appeared on Oda Seiji's face.

Not only Oda Seiji, but also his six Heavenly Demons simultaneously wore strange smiles. The Prince of Aurora and the three Heavenly Kings couldn't help but become solemn, staring at the handsome young man as if he were a dead man.

The night before, Heitendo had already discussed the matter with Oda Seiji. If Wang Xi arrived within three days, it would prove he wasn't a true cultivator. And if he wasn't a true cultivator, then they wouldn't need to waste any more time with him.

If you see Wang Xi, you must kill him.

When I saw Oda Seiji and his men's strange smiles, I was immediately startled.

Damn. What do those smiles mean?

Seeing their cunning smiles, I couldn't resist the urge to run away. But to get the bomb detonator from him, to rescue Suzaku and Wang Yu as soon as possible, and to spare them some suffering, I forced myself to suppress my unease and strode into the inn, sitting down opposite Oda Seiji. Then, I said to one of their men, "A cup of coffee, please!"

"You like coffee?" Upon hearing my question, Oda Seiji's smile became even more peculiar.

Just one glance at his strange smile made my heart skip a beat again. Then, I deliberately put on a serious face and looked at him, saying, "I wanted coffee this morning, is there something wrong with that?"

"Hehe, you can drink whatever you want, there's nothing wrong with that. But why would you specifically come all the way here for coffee?" Oda Seiji looked at me with a strange smile.

"..." I was slightly taken aback after hearing Oda Seiji's words.

"Do you want something from me?" Oda Seiji asked me with a strange laugh.

As I spoke, Oda Seiji's subordinate brought me a cup of coffee. I frowned at him, thought for a moment, swallowed, and brought the coffee to my lips. "I'm used to being carefree. I can go wherever I want to drink coffee. Even if I wanted to go to Meiji Shrine in your island nation for coffee, what's wrong with that?"

"Of course, you have become the number one cultivator in this world. Your strength is already at its peak. If you would like to have a cup of coffee with our Emperor, I think our Emperor would be happy to entertain you." Oda Seiji chuckled.

"Of course, becoming a cultivator allows one to travel a thousand miles a day and command the wind and rain. Even if your island nation's kamikaze pilots encountered me, what could they do to me? Oda, you little punk, you seem really strange today. Why are you and your men looking at me with such rude eyes when I kindly came to ask you for a cup of coffee? Aren't you afraid of my power?" I asked.

Hearing my words, Oda Seiji's strange smile deepened. He picked up a glass of water and said to me with a sly grin, "Afraid? Of course I'm afraid of Master Xi's strength. You're already a cultivator, how could I not be afraid?"

"However, I'm still a little unclear about your identity as a cultivator. May I ask what level you are at now?" Oda Seiji asked.

Upon hearing Oda Seiji's words, I realized he was indeed beginning to doubt me. Just as Oda Seiji was initially stunned by my spiritual energy, my sudden outburst caught him off guard. Now, his subordinates must have told him quite a bit, and he's starting to realize it too late.

Thinking about how to avoid exaggerating too much while still intimidating him, I thought for a moment and immediately said coldly to him, "I am currently at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage."

"Oh...that's impressive..." Upon hearing my words, Oda Seiji immediately revealed a disdainful smile.

"How dare you look down on me?" I was furious and put down my coffee.

Ignoring my anger, Oda Seiji simply smiled and drew his sword. Then, he pulled out the sword and gently stroked it. "Wang Xi, do you know? We're starting to doubt your abilities."

"Why?" I asked in surprise, glancing at the gleaming blade of his sword.

"Because just yesterday, my men and I discussed this. If you are a true immortal, you are confident that you can defeat me. You will definitely not appear in this ancient town within three days. But if you are a fake cultivator, you are not confident that you can defeat me. You will definitely appear in front of me and try to trick me into giving you the remote control for the bomb. At the same time, you will make me release the two traitors, Wang Yu and Zhu Que."

"Wang Xi, you're just a fake cultivator, aren't you?" With fanaticism in his eyes, Oda Seiji suddenly placed his sword against my neck.

I could already feel the sharp edge of Oda Seiji's sword, and my nerves tensed instantly. My heart was practically in my throat. I glanced at his sharp blade, thought for a moment, and then took out a cigarette.

"Oda Seiji, you don't believe me?" With a snap, I took out a lighter and lit a cigarette.

“Of course I believe in you. As long as there’s a sliver of hope for becoming an immortal, I won’t miss it. But you’ve disappointed me now. Your appearance has proven you’re a fake cultivator.” Oda Seiji looked at me with pity. “You’ve wasted my time. I’m going to kill you.”

"Heh..." Hearing Oda Seiji's words, large beads of sweat involuntarily rolled down my forehead. Then, I took a deep drag of my cigarette and sneered.

"What are you laughing at?" Oda Seiji asked me.

"Oda-kun, can you feel the golden core inside your abdomen spreading out and taking shape? It's in a state of ethereal emptiness, preparing to transform into the form of an infant," I asked.

"You actually understand how I feel?" Oda Seiji was slightly surprised.

“That’s right, this is one of the ways you’re about to enter the Nascent Soul realm. And when you enter the Nascent Soul realm, you will feel the cells in your body regenerating. You will enter a new state. You can introspect and see any meridian in your body. At the same time, you will lose all the emotions that humans should have, such as joy, anger, sorrow, and happiness. You will see everything in this world as extremely detached. Have you already lost human emotions?” I asked.

“I am indeed as you say now. I have lost the emotions that humans should have, and I take everything in this world indifferently. If there is anything in this world that attracts me, it is only three things. First, to kill your entire royal family; second, to possess greater power; and third, to fulfill my former dream of unification.” Oda Seiji said.

"Hehe, you have great talent. You're really only half a step away from becoming an immortal. If I could give you a little guidance, I think you could become an immortal in less than a month," I said.

"If possible, I would be grateful if you could enlighten me, Master Xi." Upon hearing this, Oda Seiji's eyes immediately lit up with longing.

"Give me the remote control in your hand that can blow up the entire Jiangnan region, release Wang Yu and Zhu Que, and I'll consider taking you as my apprentice," I said.

"Okay." Upon hearing my words, Oda Seiji immediately took out a small remote control from his person. Then, he said to Heitendou beside him, "Release Wang Yu and Suzaku."

"Lord Heavenly Demon King, don't be fooled by this brat's sweet talk!" Unexpectedly, Oda Seiji was deceived once again, and Heiten immediately said to Oda Seiji.

"Hmm?" Oda Seiji looked at Heitendou coldly after hearing his words.

"Yes!" Ping Tiandao immediately lowered his head with a serious expression.

To my surprise, Oda Seiji was fooled by my words again, and I was overjoyed. I quickly stuffed the small remote control into my pocket, then stood up and said to Oda Seiji, "There are still two days left. In my opinion, we don't need to duel after two days. Considering that you gave me the remote control for the bomb and released Wang Yu and Zhuque, come to Leifeng Pagoda by West Lake in two days, and I will personally give you some pointers."

"Thank you, Master Xi." Upon hearing my words, Oda Seiji's eyes lit up with joy.

“Well then, I’m leaving…” I gave Oda Seiji a cold look, then turned to leave.

"Master Xi Xianren, I have a question for you." Oda Seiji called out to me.

"What's the problem? Speak quickly, this immortal is planning to go to heaven to watch the fairies dance." I turned around and looked at him coldly.

"Immortal Wang Xi, what happened to the saying that the Dao should not be easily passed on?" Oda Seiji suddenly struck me with a heavy palm.

Completely unprepared, I was stunned when I saw Oda Seiji's palm strike hurtling towards me. Soon after, I coughed up blood and was sent flying heavily out of the inn.

As soon as I landed, I felt a sharp tightness in my chest and couldn't help but cough up another mouthful of blood. Oda Seiji, after walking out, revealed his strange smile again. "Wang Xi, I really enjoy watching you foolishly deceive me. It's just a pity that this is the last time you'll lie to me..."

Chapter 373 The Power of Immortals

A strange smile returned to his face, and Oda Seiji raised his sword high. As he held it aloft, the sword reflected a chilling glint in the sunlight.

At that moment, billowing black smoke erupted from his body. Oda Seiji, grinning maliciously, looked at me and said, "Wang Yang's wicked son, die!"

"The twelfth move of the Gale Blade Technique, the Heaven-Shattering Strike!" As Oda Seiji's sword fell, a huge black wind suddenly attacked from behind him.

In an instant, Oda Seiji's expression changed drastically, and he was sent flying violently past me. At that moment, I felt a sharp blade of energy slashing towards me.

The sword energy surged fiercely. Even I slightly raised my arm, and then flew out together with Oda Seiji.

Then, Oda Seiji and I simultaneously crashed through a stone wall and into an inn behind it. We then flew out of the inn. We watched as the inn before us was reduced to dust and debris, its wooden beams and tiles crumbling away.

Then, he couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood.

"An assassin!" Unexpectedly, Oda Seiji was suddenly blasted away by a blade of energy. The six Heavenly Demons, Prince Aurora, and the three Heavenly Kings in the inn immediately stood up.

Across the nearly ruined inn, I saw two young men run out of Oda Seiji's inn. I glanced at Oda Seiji as he got up from the ground. One of the young men, pale-faced and panting, said, "Brother Wang Huan, he unleashed a powerful attack right from the start. I'm out of internal energy for a while. Quickly use your poison technique to hold them off. Let's save Brother Xi and run!"

“Okay!” The other young man nodded gently.

Seeing that the six Heavenly Demons, Prince Aurora, and ten Heart-Stirring level experts—Azure Dragon, White Tiger, and Black Tortoise—made their move simultaneously, the young man immediately unleashed a large cloud of black mist from his sleeve, then grabbed another young man and ran quickly toward me.

It was Nie Xiaohai and Wang Huan. They had been missing all night. Li Bihui, An Yao, Wang Che, and Tong Jialing'er were searching for them. I never dreamed that they would run out of Oda Seiji's room.

As Wang Huan dragged Nie Xiaohai toward me, the ten top fighters under Oda Seiji drew their weapons and slashed at the two of them. "You think you can stop us with just a little poisonous mist?"

"Hehe, look what's in that poisonous fog!" Wang Huan had already dragged Nie Xiaohai to me, grabbed my arm and was about to take me away.

"Hmm?" Upon hearing Wang Huan's words, the ten experts immediately waved away the poisonous mist he had released. As soon as they did, the leader, Ping Tiandao, paled drastically. He then rapidly shook his body, scattering centipedes, scorpions, spiders, and various other poisonous insects from his form.

Even those who have reached the level of "Heartbeat" (a martial arts mastery level) still can't stand being bitten by a poisonous insect. And some people who have reached the level of "Heartbeat" still have a deep-seated fear of insects.

"Wang Huan, you are so despicable!" Bai Hu's face turned deathly pale at the sight of the poisonous insects covering his body. Seeing that he was covered in poisonous insects, he quickly took off his shirt and shook his body vigorously.

"Let's go!" Seeing that Oda Seiji had gotten up not far from me, his suit torn and looking disheveled, Wang Huan grabbed my arm tightly and we ran off quickly.

"Trying to leave?" Oda Seiji's icy voice suddenly came from behind.

Before we could even turn around, we felt a sharp blade aura hurtling towards us. Nie Xiaohai, having exhausted his inner energy after unleashing a powerful attack, immediately exclaimed upon sensing the sharp blade aura, "That Oda Seiji, a casually flicked blade aura, is already comparable to my Heaven-Shattering Strike!"

No sooner had he finished speaking than Nie Xiaohai, Wang Huan, and I were struck in the back by that sharp blade energy, and the three of us were sent flying.

I felt a dizzying sensation before my eyes; I had been struck by Oda Seiji's blade and was nearly dead. Then, the three of us were sent flying down the street of the ancient town, crashing into a stone lion before barely coming to a stop.

Thump, thump. When the three of us fell to the ground, my body was once again covered in wounds, with blood flowing continuously from my body. I felt incredibly uncomfortable, as if my heart was about to jump out of my chest.

Then, I glanced at the ten masters who had shaken off the poisonous insects, who were already walking towards me with Oda Seiji, while from all sides, countless Aurora members were surging towards us.

I couldn't help but spit out another mouthful of blood. I was breathing heavily, feeling extremely uncomfortable, and thought to myself.

This time, I'm afraid I'll have to sacrifice myself here to save the world.

I can no longer deceive Oda Seiji; he will surely kill us.

“Cunning Chinese, this is the consequence of your deception of our Heavenly Demon King!” Standing behind Oda Seiji, Heitendou said coldly.

"Lord Heavenly Demon King, let's kill them immediately, then pull out the tendons of Wang Yu and Zhuque, and hang them on the flagpole of our grand offensive against the Chinese martial arts world. Let's launch a full-scale attack on Wang Yang and his Chinese martial arts world!" Yuan Rendao said, drawing his sword.

“Okay.” Oda Seiji nodded slightly after hearing what Heitendo and Genjindo said.

"Foolish Chinese, now let your blood wash away the sins of deceiving our Heavenly Demon King!" With a cold laugh, Ping Tiandao drew his sword and strode toward the three of us, saying this.

"You are not qualified to kill us!" Upon hearing Ping Tiandao's words, Wang Huan immediately drew his sword. Then, using the sword as a support, he managed to stand up.

Seeing our battered and bruised state, Wang Huan gripped his sword tightly and stomped his right foot repeatedly on the ground. "Hurry! Hurry! Hurry! Please! Please! Please! Disciple Wang Huan begs the Ancestral Master to save us! Please, Ancestral Master, show your power! Help me subdue the demons!"
