I, who was turned into a woman by the Jade Maiden Master, want to rebel against the Heavenly Gang.

Cao Fei's large body trembled violently, causing several bricks and stone slabs around him to fly off. He clutched his head, staggering and falling to the ground with a thud.

The onlookers were all dumbfounded...

This was completely different from the Liu Ruyan they remembered. The legendary delicate fairy who needed assistance even to walk, and who would ride in a sedan chair for longer distances… how could she move so nimbly, like a nimble snake or cat demon?

This misunderstanding was probably partly due to Yuan Mengli. After all, she had once locked Qin Rufeng up to the neck, and the servants' care for Qin Rufeng in her "standby" state was no different from the meticulous care of a doll statue.

Although outsiders wouldn't see Qin Rufeng in this state, there were quite a few women from Qingyuefang who had seen her like this.

Unaware of the truth, the rumors spread that Liu Qinxian was extremely delicate and needed to be carried even for a few steps.

Members of various sects began to whisper and discuss among themselves...

"I never expected Liu Qinxian to have such skills."

"When Elder Cao slapped her, she slithered away like a white snake."

"It's normal for someone who dares to establish their own school of thought to keep a low profile."

"Thunder Talisman! As expected, you've learned a skill from Yuan Mengli."

"This is getting interesting."

Cao Fei made a fool of himself in front of everyone, but he was unharmed. Qin Rufeng's decision not to take advantage of the situation can be seen as leaving some room for maneuver.

However, it was clearly difficult to get Elder Cao to stop and admit defeat. He stood up, bowed, and then attacked again.

He pushed off the ground with both feet and flew straight over. It was quite a sight to see such a mountain of flesh flying so close to the ground.

Qin Rufeng quickly dodged to the side. Almost at the same moment, Cao Feituan did a somersault in front of him, his entire body rolling like a ball.

The "human bomb tank" was not his method of attack. He rolled over only to change his posture and land on his feet.

With a loud "Boom!", Cao Fei stomped his left foot hard on the ground, causing the bricks to shatter. His mountain-like body used the force to propel himself forward, heading straight for Qin Rufeng!

In Qin Rufeng's eyes, the trajectory of this mountain of flesh was a perfectly straight line, and its speed was ridiculously fast. The entire mountain-like body was twisted due to the gravitational overload.

Just as the mountain of meat was about to be loaded onto Qin Rufeng, an unexpected scene unfolded in front of everyone.

Suddenly, Qin Rufeng's feathered cloak transformed into snow-white wings! With a flap of her wings, she gracefully soared into the air. Cao Fei missed again.

People finally saw... such a stunning view hidden beneath the feathered cloak.

Qin Rufeng was dressed in white, the long, clinging skirt outlining her curvaceous figure. Her chest was wide open, yet veiled by scattered white feathers, like a woman half-concealing her face while playing the pipa. A pair of snow-white wings sprouted from her smooth back.

Her figure was both alluring and graceful, yet also regal and elegant. Though she drew attention, her pure white dress seemed to keep people at a distance, like frost and ice. She could only be admired from afar, never touched.

Eager to win, Cao Fei threw himself into the air, losing his balance.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Qin Rufeng spread his wings, folded his legs, and sat cross-legged in meditation. His hands formed a mudra with palms facing upwards, his inner energy circulated rapidly, and icy spiritual energy gathered in his dantian.

Immediately afterwards, her body descended. Her left leg bent at the knee and tucked in, while her right leg stomped down like a raptor leaping.

With a crisp "Bang!" sound, ice lotuses bloomed in layers, almost covering the entire training ground. A bone-chilling cold air spread outwards like a frigid tide.

Chapter 197 Liu Ruyan, the White-Clad Fairy

Bricks and stones crumbled, the sound of crackling and popping filling the air. Moisture in the air condensed instantly, enveloping the surroundings in a white mist.

However, this was not the full power of the Earth-Surging Golden Lotus; it was merely a modified version of Qin Rufeng's technique, combined with the Step-by-Step Lotus Blossom technique. She seized the opportunity to unleash this move, intending to end the battle.

However, things were clearly not that simple...

Qin Ruerlinwu%Shannichanfeng spread his wings and looked down from a high place. He saw that the white mist around him was quickly dissipating, but the area in the middle of the field where Cao Fei was hit was becoming even thicker.

Moreover, the mist rose and churned, like flowing clouds. Qin Rufeng immediately understood that this was not ice mist produced by freezing water vapor, but steam produced by evaporating water vapor.

Just then, the mist began to swirl rapidly, forming a vortex. Immediately afterwards, a crimson ball of flesh sprang up from the vortex and headed straight for Qin Rufeng.

This attack was powerful and fierce, with a gust of wind rushing towards him. Qin Rufeng dared not be careless and immediately used Flowing Light and Instant Water to dodge the attack and return to the ground.

She activated her Fiery Phoenix Wings, wrapping the snow-white feathers on her back with her True Fire Qi, and then spread her wings to disperse the mist.

When the fog cleared and the clouds parted, Cao Fei's lump of flesh was still visible in the air. His entire body was crimson and hissing white smoke, like a molten iron ingot.

Although it's unclear how he did it, he clearly made his body turn bright red and hot to neutralize the attack of the freezing lotus.

It's just heat, not fire. It can evaporate ice without worrying about being extinguished by water. Rapid cooling of the body is also fine, as the human body doesn't need to maintain such high temperatures.

Moreover, the fat, fleshy parts of his body hardened as if quenched in fire, and fell downwards like a meteorite.

Qin Rufeng, with her fiery phoenix wings adorned with white feathers, flapped her wings and flew horizontally to dodge the attack. At the same time, she quickly formed hand seals and unleashed the move "Weak Water Sinking Sand"!

With a "plop," he plunged directly into the sea of ​​sand. But he surfaced almost instantly, his enormous weight preventing him from sinking into the quicksand.

Cao Fei looked up and saw that Qin Rufeng had already flown more than three zhang away. Only a few feathers remained, slowly drifting down... Upon closer inspection, they turned out to be yellow paper talismans!

Immediately following was a deafening "BOOM!" as flames shot skyward and exploded.

Qin Rufeng planned to use a fire talisman to cool Elder Cao down, but found that he used the profuse sweat from his body to counteract the burning flames.

At this point, Qin Rufeng understood everything...

She couldn't help but recall that after returning from the Mangshan Secret Realm, she had mentioned her battle with Teng Zijian to her master. Her master had spoken about some knowledge regarding body cultivation.

Those who cultivate their bodies refine the five elements of Qi using their flesh and blood. Close combat is at a disadvantage against spells in terms of range, so body cultivators must possess not only powerful destructive force but also indestructible defense.

Although physical cultivation also relies on spiritual roots, it is not as easily restrained by the five elements.

Body cultivators can often acquire resistance to the five elements through body-refining methods, various elixirs, medicinal baths, acupuncture, and even terrifying methods such as breaking bones and flesh and then reshaping them.

It's difficult to practice, and cultivation progress is slow. However, it grants a powerful body, and at higher levels, one can forge an indestructible body. For those with average spiritual roots and talent, it's a difficult but achievable path.

Qin Rufeng had come to admire Elder Cao somewhat. But now that he knew the details about Liuxia IX Wubalong% 罒龄儛帛, he decided to stop there…

Since you possess the Five Elements, then I will use the Five Elements' mutual restraint to deal with you. Qin Rufeng summoned the Azure Moon Hidden Dragon Sword, a magical treasure bestowed upon him by his master.

This sword itself possesses the three attributes of metal, wood, and water. Qin Rufeng then channeled the true fire energy of the Fire Phoenix Wings onto the sword's blade.

As for the soil, the sand and dust from the Weak Water still floated in the air. Qin Rufeng manipulated the water vapor in the air to condense into raindrops, and the raindrops, carrying sand and gravel, formed vortices that gradually gathered on the Hidden Dragon Sword.

At this moment, five-colored light faintly gathered on Qin Rufeng's sword blade, with flames, quicksand, thunderclouds, and freezing air swirling around the blade, creating a fierce and astonishing aura.

Seeing this, Cao Fei knew things were going badly. Moreover, Qin Rufeng's other hand was still collecting moisture from the air, gradually gathering it into a water ball the size of an apple, which he held in his palm.

At this moment, Cao Fei's brows furrowed. He, who had been relentlessly attacking, finally adopted a defensive stance.

In the blink of an eye, Qin Rufeng had already rushed forward like an arrow released from a bow! He suddenly leaped high into the air a few steps away from Cao Fei.

Cao Fei suddenly looked up, only to see that Qin Rufeng's body had already turned into water.

He had seen this move, "Flowing Light and Instant Water," before. Although he didn't know where Qin Rufeng would teleport to, the most likely place would be behind him.

So Cao Fei turned around and swung a punch... unsurprisingly, he missed.

Qin Rufeng did indeed teleport behind him, but he was several steps away. So, he couldn't be hit by a punch or pierced by a sword.

Cao Fei, who had just thrown a punch that missed its mark, saw Qin Rufeng spin the water ball in his hand into a burst of water spray that splashed right in his face. He quickly raised his hand to block, but the water spray darted past him like a snake.

Qin Rufeng could not continuously use the Flowing Light Instant Water technique, so this move was a "Water Escape Technique" that involved gathering water and instantly moving.

She was always a step ahead of Cao Fei in every move; if Cao Fei was even slightly behind, he would fall further behind. By this point, the accumulated disadvantage had rendered him unable to turn around and defend himself.

After revealing himself, Qin Rufeng held his sword to his chest and thrust out with the move "White Rainbow Piercing the Sun"! Cao Fei could only turn his back and use his left arm to block.

"puff!!"

In an instant, blood splattered... and the crowd erupted in uproar!

Qin Rufeng's Hidden Dragon Sword had already sliced ​​horizontally into Cao Fei's arm. Not pierced, but rather, as Cao Fei parried, his arm braced against the blade, and the sword sliced ​​in horizontally.

His indestructible body had become as soft as tofu. The members of all the major sects stared wide-eyed in disbelief, completely unable to believe what they were seeing.

Cao Fei quickly withdrew his hand, and Qin Rufeng followed up with another move, Azure Dragon Stirring the Sea!

Then came a series of clanging sounds accompanied by bursts of golden light as Cao Fei unleashed his protective magic weapon.

He took several steps back and extended his right hand in a stop gesture. Qin Rufeng immediately sheathed his sword.

Cao Fei bowed respectfully and said, "I have been defeated. Sect Leader Liu's skills are truly divine, and I am completely convinced. If it weren't for the Sect Leader's mercy, I would have lost this arm."

Qin Rufeng's wings had now transformed back into feathered robes. She smiled slightly, cupped her hands in return, and said, "Elder Cao, you flatter me. [Unintelligible characters]"

Cao Fei returned to his camp in a sorry state. Suddenly, a woman beside him kicked him, sending his mountain-like body flying several meters away.

This woman, Reimu, had her hair styled in a neat high ponytail, and her skin was wheat-colored. She had a fit and athletic figure, with a pert bottom and prominent abs. Her shapely figure and muscular build suggested she was a physical practitioner.

She glared at Cao Fei and said, "You shameful thing! I'll punish you properly when we get back!"

This woman is another elder of the Eight Extremes Hall—Xue Heying.

It is said that her original surname was Xue. However, because she was extremely violent and caused rivers of blood to flow whenever she attacked, people called her Xueheying (Blood River Tassel). She herself felt that it was a fitting name, so she kept that name.

After kicking Cao Fei away, the Blood Elder turned his gaze to Qin Rufeng. It seemed he wanted to challenge him.

However, at this moment, Luo Li of the Wuxiang Sect stepped forward and said, "There is a proper order to everything. Your sect was the first to seek guidance from Sect Leader Liu, and none of you objected. Now that you have finished, shouldn't it be the turn of others?"

Chapter 198 The Realm of Shamelessness

Xue Heying glared fiercely at Luo Li, her eyes seeming to want to devour him. Luo Li spoke with righteous indignation, but her face wore a nonchalant smile. The two female disciples beside her were poised to attack, their eyes fixed intently on the people from the Eight Extremes Hall.

Qin Rufeng thought to himself, "Bite! Bite! Bite now!"

However, I didn't bite into it...

Luo Li's words made sense, and the people from the other sects nodded in agreement. The Eight Extremes Palace had already lost one battle, and if they insisted on fighting again, it would seem like they couldn't afford to lose.

Blood River Tassel is just a means to an end. Shrimp III 090 Flag Leek (5) is bloody and cruel, but not a reckless man.

She still didn't understand how Qin Rufeng's sword strike, which combined the five elements, worked. Recklessly fighting again would certainly not be a wise move. What if she lost again? How would she maintain her foothold in Cangyun City afterward?

Moreover, Xue Heying was also very curious about where Luo Li got the confidence to defeat Qin Rufeng...

She knew very well that Luo Li was known for her sharp tongue and cunning. Whenever she made a move, she would either bully the weak or take advantage of someone in distress; she would never do anything that didn't benefit her.

It was her suggestion to arrive at Xuan Nu Sect ahead of schedule. Sure enough, Shangguan Qingxue and that Nangong Yue weren't there.

But what good would that do? Could they really just swarm in? Xuehe Ying thought that would be too shameless... not quite.

But if it's a series of battles, is Luo Li going to be the second one to appear? That wouldn't be an advantage for her.

Liu Ruyan... didn't actually exert much effort to win the first match. Xue Heying had to admit this, and then glared at Cao Fei again.

At this moment, Li Qingshi and Xia Jinghong channeled their spiritual energy into the stone pillars beside the training ground, and the damaged floor tiles automatically repaired themselves. Although they were drenched in sweat from exhaustion, they could still withstand this amount of spiritual energy consumption.

With the venue repaired, Qin Rufeng was already standing in the middle of the training ground, waiting for the next challenger.

Luo Li indeed stepped forward with her sword. She bowed and said, "Luo Li of the Wuxiang Sect has come to learn from the Xuan Nu Sect's...divine skills."

"Divine skill" was Cao Fei's praise for Qin Rufeng. Therefore, when Luo Li said this, a contemptuous smile played on her lips, and she deliberately glanced at the group from the Eight Extremes Hall. This infuriated Xue Heying.

Qin Rufeng was about to accept the challenge when Luo Li changed the subject, saying, "However... it seems inappropriate for me to challenge Sect Leader Liu."

This statement surprised Qin Rufeng greatly. If she wasn't going to challenge him, who else would? Whoever wanted to challenge him should just come on over there; what were you babbling about?

Luo Li continued, "First, although I am the third elder of the Wuxiang Sect, the sect master is my master."

“My master is the sect leader, and Sect Leader Liu is the sect leader. Although Sect Leader Liu is a junior in terms of cultivation, they are both sect leaders after all, so they can be considered equals.”

"Therefore, for me to challenge Sect Leader Liu is just like your sect's disciple challenging my Wuxiang Sect's Sect Master. It is truly disrespectful."

"Secondly, Sect Leader Liu has just finished a fierce battle. If I challenge him again, wouldn't that be like using a war of attrition and overwhelming him with numbers? The people of the Wuxiang Sect would never stoop to such a thing."

“So…” Luo Li smiled confidently, “I, the disciple of the Wuxiang Sect Master, will challenge the disciple of the Xuan Nu Sect Leader.”

"Then, who in your faction dares to accept the challenge?"

As soon as she said this, everyone's attention naturally turned to Li Qingshi and Xia Jinghong, who had just finished repairing the venue...

Qin Rufeng was completely stunned. Even in her life before transmigrating, she had never encountered anyone so shameless.

Xue Heying burst out laughing, but Luo Li remained completely calm and composed.

The sect leader of the Wuxiang Sect did not come. It's unknown how the sect leader will react upon learning of his disciple's disgraceful behavior.

Many sect members also felt ashamed of Luo Li's behavior. However, they had to admit that her explanation was not without merit.

If it were a friendly exchange between the various sects within Cangyun City, then Cao Fei, as an elder, would indeed not directly challenge Qin Rufeng, the sect leader.

But in people's eyes, Liu Qinxian was still just a woman from the fairy brothel, at most the brothel owner. So there was no respect for her.

Although Luo Li was blatantly shameless, it only elicited a few laughs from Xue Heying and a few glares from the other sect members. No one stopped Luo Li's behavior.

Because Luo Li did indeed exploit a weakness of the Xuan Nu Sect... namely, the sect had too few disciples. Moreover, the two disciples personally taught by the sect leader, Li Qingshi and Xia Jinghong, were extremely weak.

At this moment, the members of those sects were either deep in thought, exchanging glances, or whispering among themselves.

The recent battle made them realize that it would not be easy to suppress Qin Rufeng without breaking off relations.
