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

The Crimson Moon Saintess stared at Qin Rufeng. Although her eyes were covered by a golden helmet, Rufeng seemed to be able to feel the blood-red gaze beneath it…

The saintess, with her full red lips dangling from a white jade cigarette holder, took a deep drag and exhaled a cloud of red smoke.

“Liu Ruyan,” she said, “I’ve been looking for you for ages. I didn’t expect you to escape from the [Illusionary Bottle Grass]. Luckily you fell here, otherwise it would have been much more difficult.”

As soon as she spoke, Qin Rufeng immediately understood. So it was all because of the Crimson Moon Sect.

He got lost in Qingyuefang and was then swallowed by something called "Illusionary Bottle Grass." It turned out that the Crimson Moon Demonic Sect wanted to capture him.

He then burned the Illusionary Bottle Grass and escaped. This was essentially a plane crash, which is why the Crimson Moon Saintess couldn't be found for a while.

Unfortunately, Liu Family Village was clearly also under the control of the Crimson Moon Demonic Cult. And now, the Crimson Moon Saintess and the two horse-faced demons had finally arrived.

These three people...

The Crimson Moon Saintess's cultivation level is at least at the mid-stage of the Golden Core realm, and possibly even the late stage. The two Horse-Faced Demons are also at the early-stage of the Golden Core realm.

With only a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator and Xia Jinghong at the Qi Refining stage combined, they were no match for each other...

In a place like this, there's no one to turn to for help. It seems we're doomed today.

Qin Rufeng sighed softly and said to Xia Jinghong, "Jinghong, it seems you've followed the wrong person."

"You're out of luck today. But they're after me, so they probably won't bother with you. You'd better run, run now!"

"No, I can't leave," Xia Jinghong said. "I've sworn to track down the fairy; how can I abandon her at such a critical moment?"

"Can't you sense their cultivation levels?" Qin Rufeng said. "These are three Golden Core Realm cultivators, and one of them is even in the late Golden Core Realm stage. What use are you to them?"

"I can take a blow or two for the fairy," Xia Jinghong said firmly. "Last time, my master told me to leave, and I left...and then my master was gone. Now the fairy is telling me to leave again..."

Xia Jinghong shook her head and said, "I can't go any further!"

"I'm not telling you to run away," Qin Rufeng said. "I'm ordering you to seek help. Anyone who can help, no matter who it is. The chances are slim, but at least there's still a glimmer of hope."

“If you stay here, we’ll both die. You’ll only get in my way and be a burden. Go and ask for help. Tell them that Liu Ruyan from Qingyuefang is asking for help. If you can help, Qingyuefang will reward you handsomely.”

Xia Jinghong understood that Qin Rufeng's words were just a way to get rid of her.

Abandoning her master is certainly unjust. But if she doesn't go, it becomes that she disobeyed her master's order to beg for help. This is tantamount to extinguishing her master's last hope, which is also unjust.

With no other choice, Xia Jinghong sighed and turned to leave.

One of the horse-faced figures tried to give chase, but Qin Rufeng directly unleashed the Heaven-Opening Sword Technique of the Myriad Swords Art to strike it head-on.

The horse-faced figure was enveloped in a red glow, pressing the sword's edge against its chest with both hands clasped together.

Although the giant sword failed to pierce through, its powerful force forced the horse-faced man to retreat repeatedly, focusing all his energy on defense. Chasing Xia Jinghong was now impossible.

Seeing this, the other horse-faced demon was about to give chase. Qin Rufeng used a swift movement technique to block him. However, her movement technique almost caused her to plunge headfirst into the horse-faced demon's arms.

Even Horse-Face was surprised that Qin Rufeng dared to get so close. He immediately opened his arms to try and catch her, but instead felt a chill run through his dantian and was sent flying backward.

Chapter 139 You Be the Horse

Qin Rufeng deliberately stayed close to Ma Mian. He did this to maximize the power of the Flowing Ice and Flying Rain.

The last time she did this was when she dealt with Teng Zijian of the Qingyuan Sect in the Mangshan Secret Realm, and that attack almost destroyed his dantian.

Seeing this, Fairy Crimson Moon smiled and said, "No need to chase after her. What does it matter if a little mouse escapes? We only need Liu Ruyan."

The two horse-faced men both said "Yes" in unison and then pounced on Qin Rufeng. Without saying a word, Rufeng first released two foxfires to bombard the horse-faced men.

The bluish-white flames collided with the horse-faced man's black, iron-like body and instantly ignited. The firelight illuminated the pitch-black night, instantly burning away their red glow shields and setting their bodies ablaze.

After the foxfire burned, the horse-faced man's skin was completely charred. The black iron turned into charcoal, and even his fingers were twisted and deformed from the heat.

Yet they remained full of energy...

The charred outer skin kept peeling off, revealing blood-red flesh. And this flesh was growing rapidly... Horse-Face's body was recovering at an incredible speed.

Qin Rufeng frowned, knowing that things were going to be difficult.

She then unleashed Thousand Mountains Flying Snow. Although the two horse-faced demons were forced into a defensive stance and were slashed by the transformed sword energy, they were not fatally wounded. Moreover, their lower bodies remained stable, preventing them from being swept into the air.

The wounds inflicted by the sharp blade, like the burns from the foxfire, were healing rapidly. Moreover, Horse-Face, having stabilized its defense, quickly launched a counterattack.

Before Qin Rufeng could finish his Thousand Mountains Flying Snow move, a horse-faced man rushed over and threw a punch. Rufeng could only dodge it with a snake-like movement.

However, before he could even regain his footing, another horse-faced demon pounced on him and grabbed him. His hand almost touched Qin Rufeng's shoulder, forcing Rufeng to use his Flowing Light Instant Water technique to defuse the crisis.

Foxfire, Flowing Ice Rain, and even the Heaven-Opening Sword and Thousand Mountain Snow of the Myriad Swords Technique... none of Qin Rufeng's main attack methods could do anything to these two Golden Core Realm Horse-Faced Demons.

However, they were not completely unharmed; they just recovered quickly.

This is actually a problem that Qin Rufeng, the transmigrator, frequently encountered during his time on Earth. The solution can be quite brute-force: simply increase the damage output to match the opponent's regenerative abilities.

Qin Rufeng also possesses a move called "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix." He has plenty of swords in his storage space, enough to continuously inflict massive damage and offset Ma Mian's recovery speed.

However, in reality, Qin Rufeng was unable to summon a large number of swords. The sword summoning technique of "Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix" is actually a form of sword control; the summoned swords, suspended in mid-air, require concentrated mental control.

With Qin Rufeng's current cultivation level, she could still move freely even if she summoned six or seven swords. However, the damage inflicted would be far from sufficient.

When she summoned more than a dozen swords, she could still move, but she could no longer dodge and weave. Yet, even a dozen swords were still far from enough.

To summon a large number of broken swords to form a circular sword formation, one must concentrate all their energy. The body cannot move at all.

Qin Rufeng only then realized how much Feng Hua had gone easy on her in the Crimson Moon Prison. She must have found the Hundred Birds Paying Homage to the Phoenix circular sword formation interesting, which is why she allowed Rufeng to complete the formation and then face off against her.

If it were a sword formation of the scale of the Hundred Birds Sword Formation, it should have been able to eliminate these two horse-faced demons. However, these two were like plasters, sticking tightly to Qin Rufeng, giving her no chance to summon the sword formation.

Qin Rufeng kept dodging and maneuvering, finally managing to create some distance. Then he quickly summoned the giant sword from the Sword Tomb, planted it in the ground, and stood on the hilt.

Just as he was about to attempt to summon swords on a large scale, he saw a cloud of red rushing towards him.

It's tick-wasp... tick-wasp released by the Crimson Moon Saintess. Normally, tick-wasp would be repelled by the fragrance of the Purple Gold Jade, but the tick-wasp released by the Crimson Moon Saintess is just like (5) Yi Qi sneaking up on Lu Yi's suicide squad, showing no fear at all.

As the swarm approached Qin Rufeng, it began to burn, turning into a cloud of fire.

Qin Rufeng immediately released freezing air to defend against it. Although it blocked most of them, some burning ticks still rushed over the freezing air.

Qin Rufeng had no choice but to use Flowing Light and Instant Water again. Just as she escaped in an instant, the swarm of bees burst into flames, creating a very dangerous scene.

Although he avoided the attack, Qin Rufeng also lost the opportunity to summon a large number of swords. The two horse-faced demons seized the opportunity to pounce on him again.

Qin Rufeng was furious and used the Azure Moon Hidden Dragon Sixty-Four Swords and three top foxfires to attack the Crimson Moon Saintess.

However, the Crimson Moon Saintess didn't even get up; she simply raised her iron umbrella to parry.

She gently gripped the umbrella shaft with one hand, and the umbrella ribs began to spin rapidly. Qin Rufeng's sword and foxfire collided with the spinning iron umbrella and were both deflected.

The Crimson Moon Saintess, however, was casually puffing on her pipe. After blocking the attack, she casually tossed her iron umbrella towards Qin Rufeng.

The iron umbrella spun and whistled towards them, and Qin Rufeng quickly activated his Fire Phoenix Wings to take flight and dodge. The iron umbrella then blasted down a large area of ​​houses and trees behind it. Its power was so great that cold sweat broke out on Qin Rufeng's forehead.

But that wasn't all. More sharp blades from the iron umbrella flew out and shot towards Qin Rufeng. Not only that, the Crimson Moon Saintess continued to unleash a swarm of ticks and bees to attack.

Even if Qin Rufeng could use the Qi Er Lin Shi P Jiu Shui P Si Bing Lian to gain leverage, floating in the sky was not as agile as being on the ground. So he had no choice but to return to the ground, but the two horse-faced demons immediately entangled him again.

Qin Rufeng knew very well that the Crimson Moon Saintess would not let her escape. Not only could she not summon a sword formation, but she also could not escape on a sword.

Now surrounded by three attackers, he can't catch his breath for even a moment. He has no time to use his sword control techniques. He can't even use his musical skills. Because he has to dodge constantly, he can't play any music.

Qin Rufeng knew there was only one reason he was in this predicament… the other side hadn’t used their full strength. They wanted to capture him alive, otherwise he would have been dead long ago.

As Qin Rufeng watched the Crimson Moon Saintess sitting cross-legged in her sedan chair, smoking her pipe, a sense of despair welled up in his heart.

No, we can't give up yet...

If I were captured by the Crimson Moon Demonic Sect and used as a furnace to refine my Nascent Soul, the thought of the consequences would send shivers down my spine.

Qin Rufeng tried her best to keep her mind calm. She considered the current situation, trying to grasp a glimmer of hope from the abyss of despair.

What other tactics are there? The enemy possesses a powerful physique and profound cultivation. Therefore, we certainly cannot rely on our weaknesses to overcome their strengths; we must attack their vulnerabilities.

What are their weaknesses?

Spirit……

But now I'm under so much pressure that I can't even play the piano.

Oh, and... seduction techniques!

This trick will definitely work on those two horse-faced demons. But charm magic isn't like the "bewitching spell" in some games on Earth; it can't directly control one enemy to attack another.

The art of seduction is about arousing desire in the other person. What were the desires of these two red-moon horse-faced men? A glance down made it clear: all three of them were holding umbrellas.

Qin Rufeng thought to himself, why does the target of desire have to be me? As long as these two guys' desires are big enough, bigger than commands and authority, isn't that enough?

What if we let them rebel against their superiors and overthrow the Crimson Moon Saintess?

At this moment, the two horse-faced men were completely engrossed in their actions. They had no means of attacking Qin Rufeng anymore, resorting only to grabbing and grappling.

This was rather clumsy, making it easier for Qin Rufeng to dodge. So she turned her gaze to the sedan chair... only to see the Crimson Moon Saintess still leisurely and carefree, completely unaware of what was about to happen to her.

Ru Feng stared at the saintess, thinking to himself, "Let's ride the horse and have a taste... but you be the horse."

Then it spread its phoenix wings and flew into the air.

Chapter 140 Hard Control

Upon seeing Qin Rufeng spread her wings and take to the air, the Crimson Moon Saintess unsurprisingly attacked again with her sword-umbrella, attempting to suppress her.

However, this time Qin Rufeng deliberately charged towards the Crimson Moon Saintess amidst the flying blades. She used the Saintess's sword umbrella to obscure her vision and conceal her intentions.

"Oh? Are you going to fight to the death?" The Crimson Moon Saintess was slightly surprised. She raised her head and looked... trying to see through Qin Rufeng's intentions with her eyes hidden beneath the golden helmet.

Just as he was about to be pierced by the chaotic swords of the umbrella ribs, Qin Rufeng activated the Flowing Light Instant Water evasion technique.

Although this move dodged the umbrella-shaped sword blade, it could not confuse the Crimson Moon Saintess's judgment.

Because they were still quite far apart, and the teleportation distance of the Flowing Light and Instant Water technique was limited, the Crimson Moon Saintess almost immediately spotted Qin Rufeng's new location. She teleported upwards, raising her position even higher.

The Crimson Moon Saintess raised her head to look at Ru Feng, a smile on her face, and said softly, "You cannot escape my grasp."

However, before she could finish speaking, a loud "clang!" was heard... the two breastplates atop her hooded figure flew off without warning. For a moment, the rippling blue waves and swaying spring breeze were so dazzling that it made one dizzy.

Before the Crimson Moon Saintess could figure out what had been launched, she felt a pair of strong, powerful arms tightly embrace her from behind, almost suffocating her.

"Beast! What are you doing?" The Crimson Moon Saintess turned around in surprise, only to see the horse-faced man staring wide-eyed and flaring his nostrils... panting heavily. His breath hit her face, and saliva dripped onto her chest.

Qin Rufeng deliberately approached the Crimson Moon Saintess, firstly to lure the horse-faced man there, and secondly to make his move faster.

She took a gamble... betting that the golden armor and breastplate worn by the Crimson Moon Saintess were not a magical artifact but merely protective gear.

Generally speaking, armor is something that ordinary people can make and wear. Even if the armor forged by cultivators cannot be compared with ordinary armor, the form is the same; both are worn directly to protect the body. This is the area of ​​expertise for armorers.

However, for the weapon refiners who create magical artifacts, this is the most basic, primitive, and low-class form of protection.

When creating magical artifacts, one generally wouldn't use such a rudimentary method of protection; rather, one would aim for something more elegant.

For example, Qin Rufeng's protective magic weapon, the Flowing Cloud Peach Blossom Fan, is merely a round fan made of gauze. Even when used to cover her chest and cleavage, it is somewhat translucent and hazy, revealing glimpses of her figure. Yet, it is a protective magic weapon capable of creating protective shields with the five elements' attributes.

Even Han Ying of the Blood Shadow Sect wore a jade-embedded golden armor shaped like a large bell. Even the Crimson Moon Saintess in front of them used an umbrella as a shield.

Using fans and umbrellas as offensive and defensive weapons makes the user appear effortless and at ease. This is elegant, dashing, and perfectly suited to the refined and sophisticated temperament of a cultivator.

Therefore, Qin Rufeng judged that the Crimson Moon Saintess's breastplate and heart-protecting mirror were just protective gear, not magical artifacts.

Even so, the armor worn by the Crimson Moon Saintess, who was in the mid-to-late stage of the Golden Core realm, was probably beyond Qin Rufeng's ability to penetrate... Fortunately, her goal was not to break through the armor.

Since it's armor rather than a magic weapon, it doesn't rely on additional spells like protective shields, but rather on the strength of the armor itself.

Those two round, beast-head-shaped breastplates covering the Crimson Moon Saintess's snow-white breasts must have been sturdy enough...

However, the connecting ring between the two breast protectors is not necessarily the same. Even if the materials are the same, the thickness and structural strength will differ.

Moreover, it seemed that those weren't just simple, sturdy chains, but rather locks that could be opened and closed. Qin Rufeng, bracing himself against the Holy Maiden's gaze, spent a long time trying to confirm this.

Then she deliberately increased the height, causing the Crimson Moon Saintess to puff out her chest and raise her head. Immediately afterwards, she used her favorite move, the second form of the Myriad Swords Technique, "Ambush from Ten Sides".

This sword energy is invisible and impossible to defend against. Although its power is slightly weaker, it can easily sever the connecting clasps of the Saintess's breastplate.

In any case, her umbrella sword had already been released from her hand to suppress Qin Rufeng. If she didn't have any other protective magic items, this move would undoubtedly hit.

As Qin Rufeng had predicted, her plan went surprisingly smoothly.

The horse-faced man, whose desires were amplified to an infinite degree by the bewitching spell, was no match for the primordial power suddenly released from the chest of the Crimson Moon Saintess. Reason and obedience were instantly burned away.

The horse-faced man used his two large hands to grab the back of the Crimson Moon Saintess's legs and lifted her up. The saintess and the horse-faced man faced the same direction.

Horse-faced's chest, as hard as blue stone and black iron, pressed against the saintess's snow-white shoulders and back. His thick, tree-trunk-like arms, with bulging veins, passed under the saintess's legs, then circled around her neck from the front, his black iron hands firmly gripping the back of her head.

The Crimson Moon Saintess's legs were spread open and pushed up to her shoulders, her knees bent into an M shape, and her head was pressed down. Her entire body was firmly locked in place by the horse-faced man's iron-like body and arms, making her unable to move. It was like a piece of flesh armor hanging on her body.

This is a very professional grappling technique. It seems this horse-faced man isn't just relying on brute force; he also understands various fighting styles.

Under Qin Rufeng's seductive influence, the horse-faced man, whose mental attributes were low, could no longer distinguish friend from foe. He used grappling and fighting techniques to subdue and control the Crimson Moon Saintess.
