Chapter 189: Could it be that she no longer needs my act?
Cheng Hong Ling flicked her jade-like hand, and as her pink nails drew an alluring trajectory, the Fierce Weapon List unfurled. The special fabric, like a bronze mirror, reflected a beam of light under the sun, directly hitting the face of the short old man.
“Ah! My eyes!”
The short old man quickly covered his blinded eyes and then angrily rebuked, “Young people have no martial ethics, resorting to sneak attacks! But is this useful? My spiritual sense is not for show!”
“Sneak attack? I’m sorry! I don’t need to do that against you.”
Cheng Hong Ling curled her lips in disdain and then nonchalantly put away the Fierce Weapon List. At this moment, after being used, the patterns of swords, spears, sabers, and halberds on it had dimmed. To use it again, she would have to continue to infuse True Qi to nourish it, but at this moment, it was clearly better to be conservative.
“Then why did you inexplicably take out a mirror to blind my eyes? If you don’t explain clearly, even if we are under the same Immortal Alliance, I will teach you an unforgettable lesson today.”
The short old man rubbed his eyes and questioned her in exasperation. His comical actions looked like a three-year-old child complaining.
“He Ahzi… He Ahzi… Look at the sky!”
Just then, the tall man beside him reminded him in a serious tone.
“Damn Cai Zhugan, don’t call me He Ahzi.”
“He Ahzi” complained as he looked up, only to discover that a giant mirage had appeared in the sky above. It was composed of realistic weapons, including swords, spears, sabers, and halberds. Some were even dripping with dazzling blood, and more terrifyingly, a powerful killing intent suddenly emanated from it, instantly locking onto him.
He Ahzi instantly felt like he was being targeted by a prehistoric beast. In his fear, he could no longer condense his spiritual sense, and his body swayed and fell down.
Cheng Hong Ling stepped forward, and surging cold air rushed forward like a stormy wave. Everything in its path was frozen, and a thick layer of Profound Ice immediately formed on the ground.
The female disciples of Shuiyu Valley could not stand firm and quickly reached out to support each other.
Mu Ruoyi looked at Cheng Hong Ling with confusion. She didn’t understand what this little daughter-in-law was doing, even harming her own people.
“As expected, she’s just a young girl, showing off for no reason!”
“Cai Zhugan” revealed a look of disdain on his face.
At this very moment, Cheng Hong Ling’s graceful body shot up into the sky. The Blue Scale Sword in her hand turned into lightning and shot towards He Ahzi with such speed that it completely exceeded the expectations of the two old men.
“Junior, how dare you!”
Cai Zhugan’s face changed drastically. He immediately drew his long sword and charged towards Cheng Hong Ling, trying to stop her.
“Clang!”
The two swords clashed, unleashing a terrifying shockwave that distorted the surrounding space.
“Crack!”
Then came that familiar cracking sound. Cai Zhugan’s exquisitely crafted treasured sword was once again broken without suspense.
Cheng Hong Ling had anticipated this, so she repeated her previous move. The sword’s momentum did not decrease, and it slashed towards the opponent’s neck.
Cai Zhugan’s strength was similar to Elder Han’s, but his reaction was a little faster. He instinctively moved his neck, narrowly avoiding the sharp sword edge, and a few strands of his hair were sheared off.
Cai Zhugan felt the chilling killing intent on Cheng Hong Ling’s sword, and the skin on his neck felt frozen. For a moment, he couldn’t tell if he was injured, so he quickly reached out to touch his neck.
Without checking the results of the battle, Cheng Hong Ling immediately lunged towards the short old man below, who was struggling to maintain his posture.
He Ahzi, under the influence of the killing intent, could not effectively condense his spiritual sense to fly, so he was very disheveled, staggering down in the air as if he were drunk.
Seeing Cheng Hong Ling pounce, he panicked and shouted, “Clone! Come out!”
Unfortunately, because he could not condense his spiritual sense, he could not even use his Soul Bond, so his clone naturally could not emerge from his Sea of Consciousness.
Cheng Hong Ling’s gaze was sharp, like a red meteor streaking across the sky, directly pouncing towards He Ahzi. The Blue Scale Sword in her hand emanated a bone-chilling cold, as if it wanted to devour him.
“Cai Zhugan! Help!”
He Ahzi shouted and reflexively raised his long sword to block.
“Bang!”
The two swords crossed. Because He Ahzi lacked the support of his spiritual sense, he was instantly cut down.
He Ahzi fell like a meteor, directly crashing into the ground. It should have been a scene of earth-shattering chaos, but because of the layer of Profound Ice, he was actually bounced back after hitting it.
“Crack! Crack!”
Crisp cracking sounds rang out one after another. The indestructible Profound Ice had cracks after the violent collision, and of course, the multiple bones all over He Ahzi’s body also had cracks.
“Pfft!”
He Ahzi thought his body’s strength was enough to withstand this impact, and he never dreamed that the ground was so hard. Caught off guard, he suffered a great loss and spurted out a large mouthful of blood.
‘So that’s how it is! This was all her plan. That ice was to increase the hardness of the ground, not just for show.’
Cai Zhugan immediately realized, and flew into a rage.
Cheng Hong Ling pressed her advantage and lunged towards He Ahzi on the ground, intending to subdue him. As long as she had a hostage, she would not worry about the other party surrendering.
“Hmph! Can you be faster than spiritual sense?”
Cai Zhugan was not flustered. His spiritual sense transformed into a large hand, arriving after hers, and grabbed He Ahzi. Then, he quickly retracted it.
Cheng Hong Ling naturally would not let him succeed. She also released her spiritual sense, grabbed his wrist, and the two began to wrestle.
Cai Zhugan’s cultivation was higher, while Cheng Hong Ling’s spiritual sense was outstanding. For a time, they were evenly matched.
“Did you forget about me, the Elder of Shuiyu Valley?”
Zhao Li shot up into the sky, holding her long sword and killing towards Cai Zhugan.
“Clone!”
Cai Zhugan roared, and a figure appeared in front of him, then met Zhao Li.
“Do you think you’re the only one with a clone?”
Zhao Li sneered and released her own clone to entangle the opponent’s clone. She remained unaffected and continued to charge forward, her long sword unleashing a giant ice blade that spanned more than ten zhang, sweeping towards Cai Zhugan.
Cai Zhugan was attacked from both front and back. He gritted his teeth and swung a flame sword energy in response to block.
“You dare to be distracted while fighting me!”
Cheng Hong Ling sneered, increased her spiritual sense, and instantly snatched the heavily injured He Ahzi. Then, she held her sword to his throat and threatened, “You lost!”
“Alas!”
Cai Zhugan withdrew his clone and sighed helplessly. “I have cultivated for over a hundred years, and I have lost to a little girl like you. It is truly lamentable! Can you tell me which super sect you are an Immortal Seed of? You are probably not from our Xihui Dynasty, right?”
“Your memory is a bit bad! I’ve already reminded you! My name is Cheng Hong Ling! I am a disciple of the HongHua Sect in Huang Tian Prefecture.”
Cheng Hong Ling frowned. The Blue Scale Sword in her hand slipped, instantly drawing a bloody gash on He Ahzi’s neck. Profound Ice True Qi was immediately injected into it.
“Don’t be rash, I remember! I remember! I didn’t expect a phoenix to emerge from a place like Huang Tian Prefecture! Now the entire Xihui Dynasty… no… I’m afraid the entire Cultivation World will look at Huang Tian Prefecture with new eyes.”
Cai Zhugan quickly pleaded for mercy.
“Remember! When you go out, tell the people outside like this, and promote me well!”
Cheng Hong Ling retracted the Blue Scale Sword and instructed. Then she added, “Also, don’t think about counterattacking. I have injected Profound Ice True Qi into him. This thing will not disappear in a short time, it will exist for at least several days. I can make him bleed internally and die at any time.”
“Yes, yes, yes! Cough, cough… Fairy Cheng… Look at me, even… even without the Profound Ice True Qi, I’m about to bleed internally to death!”
He Ahzi repeatedly pleaded for mercy, while also spitting out old blood, which was truly pathetic.
“Have a safe trip!”
Cheng Hong Ling retracted her treasured sword and said.
The two old men’s faces showed unwillingness, but they did not dare to act presumptuous anymore, and left, looking back repeatedly.
“Now, there is only the last hurdle left!”
Cheng Hong Ling looked up at the mountaintop, her gaze exceptionally sharp, like a sharp sword cutting through the sky.
At the same time, Qi Huang, who was in Huatian Village, also received the news.
“She has actually reached the entrance of Yuxiao Sect. Could it be that I have lost my stage for acting?”
Qi Huang was somewhat unwilling. Acting was addictive; if he didn’t act for a day, he felt ants crawling on him.
“The last hurdle you mentioned, are you referring to us?”
But at this moment, a familiar voice echoed throughout the four directions. It was actually Elder Zhou of the HuXiao Sect.
