I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

"The Mysterious Steps?"

Shen Ming was taken aback, and really didn't know what to do.

He suddenly understood why three people were needed to guard the pass.

It may seem that each outer disciple faces three inner disciples, but that is not actually the case.

In order for a battle to be decided, others have no choice but to confront each other head-on.

Unlike other challenges, you have to stop people, and you can't do it by pulling or grabbing them.

Unless Shen Ming uses his sword to relentlessly pursue and attack, his fists are useless.

"whee."

Hua Yuenü walked past him with ease.

Shen Ming felt like he was on a basketball court, and because of a feint, his center of gravity shifted, and he could only watch helplessly as he was beaten.

"What are you all good for?!"

Xu Lingyue stood at the top, gave a shout, and went to greet Hua Yuenü.

At this moment, Zhang Muhan stepped forward.

Although Hua Yuenü was still trying to pass the level, Tang Long's side was already empty.

"This time, I won't let you get away so easily."

Upon seeing that it was a man, Tang Long decided to vent his resentment on Zhang Muhan.

Before Zhang Muhan could come forward, the iron hammer in his hand swung up and flew through the air with a whooshing sound.

"The Gale Hammer Technique consists of three moves, encompassing eighteen variations, with the hammer unleashing a shockwave of power."

As Zhang Muhan spoke, he drew his sword.

A purple light appeared in his eyes, a sign that he was activating the "Heaven-Breaking Technique".

"The younger generation these days really has no respect for elders."

Seeing his attitude, Tang Long felt extremely dissatisfied.

Zhang Muhan had no intention of forcing his way through; instead, he charged out with his knife.

"Well done!"

In a direct confrontation, Tang Long was more than happy to accept the opportunity and slammed his heavy hammer down.

"As expected, they were all flaws."

Zhang Muhan's eyes flashed with purple light, and with his first slash, the rainbow-like blade light easily neutralized the heavy hammer.

The second horizontal slash tore through Tang Long's neck, and blood spurted out.

"you……"

Tang Long died without ever understanding what was happening; his eyes were wide open, and he died with his eyes still open.

The other outer disciples were so frightened that they retreated repeatedly, letting out gasps of alarm.

"Senior Brother Zhang, what are you doing?"

An outer disciple mustered his courage and asked.

"What?!"

To the disciples outside the sect, Zhang Muhan, who was usually calm and reserved, suddenly burst into maniacal laughter.

"Of course, let's start the killing!"

Zhang Muhan stepped over Tang Long's corpse, stormed into Feilong Pass, and charged toward the second guard.

Intelligence indicates that this person is named Shen Ming, but there is no background information and the martial arts he practices are unknown.

It doesn't matter; as long as it's a martial art from the Xuantian Sect, his eyes can see through it.

"Is this a case of demonic possession, or just insanity?"

Shen Ming never expected that the annoying Tang Long would die like this.

This was the first time he had ever seen a dead person, and it was quite shocking.

Zhang Muhan, radiating murderous intent, quickly approached him.

In life-or-death situations, some people succumb to their innate fear, while others are aroused and enter a state of frenzy.

Well come!

Shen Ming belonged to the latter group; without saying a word, he drew his sword.

Swords are inherently a means of killing.

……

At Feilong Pass, Xu Lingyue was still shocked by Tang Long's death, and a purple light also appeared in Hua Yuenü's beautiful eyes.

With graceful movements, her hands seemed to be plucking flowers as she reached for Xu Lingyue's vital parts.

The Flower-Picking Finger Technique, a low-level martial art!

Extremely soft and yielding, it can crush any object, no matter how hard, with just three fingers.

If one can use true energy, a small gravitational vortex will appear where the two fingers meet, making it impossible for the enemy to avoid.

In the critical moment, Xu Lingyue's years of training saved her life.

"Xuantian Finger!"

Almost instinctively, he brought his two right fingers together, using a force that was both gentle and powerful to deflect the fatal attack.

"Xuantian Finger, one of the nine ultimate skills of Xuantian Sect, is derived from Xuantian Sword Technique. The finger force is like a sword beam, which can injure people invisibly."

Hua Yuenü revealed the martial arts she used and continued her attack, each time precisely targeting her weaknesses.

Xu Lingyue was constantly restrained and, unaware of the situation, used her lightness skill to escape the battle.

She arrived at the highest point of Feilong Pass, intending to loudly warn the law enforcement elders.

You could see the entire Longmen Mountain burning, with black smoke billowing into the sky, obscuring the sun.

“Your elders are overwhelmed.”

Hua Yuenü exuded murderous intent, yet showed no impatience; only her eyes held intense resentment.

“You are members of the Demonic Sect?! In my Xuan Tian Realm, you cannot escape!” Xu Lingyue said.

"What if we don't intend to run away?" Hua Yuennu asked with a charming smile.

Xu Lingyue was shocked; the other party was so young, yet he was a suicide squad member.

“What grudge could possibly warrant this?” Xu Lingyue said.

“My parents both died at the hands of your Xuantian Sect, what do you say?” Hua Yuenü said.

"I suspect these words were told to you by the evil cult. You don't even know what your own parents look like."

Xu Lingyue said, "The disciples of the Demonic Sect are all adopted orphans who have been deceived by the lies of the Demonic Sect."

“Then what you’re saying was also taught to you by Xuan Tian Sect, so it can’t be a lie?” Hua Yuennu said.

Xu Lingyue was slightly taken aback, and really didn't know how to refute it.

Hua Yuenü let out a silvery laugh, but her eyes grew increasingly cold.

“You’re right about one thing. I have never met my parents. I’ve been starving since I can remember. Even when I was cultivating, I had to please men.”

Why are you luckier than me? Why were you showered with love and affection from a young age?

This is what Hua Yuen Nu truly hates!

"Because I have good parents?" Xu Lingyue asked uncertainly.

"Go to hell!"

Hua Yuenü disregarded her image and went all out, her finger techniques becoming even more ferocious.

Xu Lingyue focused solely on defense. After the brief exchange, she knew that her enemy could see through her weaknesses.

For a time, Hua Yuenü, who had the upper hand, really couldn't defeat her.

However, Xu Lingyue is not invincible.

Before she could dodge, Hua Yuenü lightly pinched her shoulders with both hands, tearing her clothes and leaving a bloody mark on her slender, fair shoulders.

"Tsk tsk tsk, I've got an idea. I'm going to strip you naked and let all your fellow disciples see it," Hua Yuenü said smugly.

"Come on if you dare!"

Enraged, Xu Lingyue switched to a different martial art, changing her finger techniques to palm techniques.

"The Cloud-Dispelling Palm, created by comprehending the workings of Baiyun, is ethereal and unpredictable, yet powerful. It is still not as good as the Mysterious Heaven Finger."

Hua Yuenü easily defused the attack, leaving a bloody mark on Xu Lingyue's arm.

"If true energy is used, the opponent will definitely not be able to see through it."

Xu Lingyue thought to herself.

When true energy is enhanced through the Xuan Guan (mysterious gate), the moves will undergo multiple changes.

In other words, the opponent's restraining techniques only apply to the Body Tempering Realm.

These people sacrificed their martial arts future for today's action!

For assassins, that makes sense.

"Are you trying to stall for time? You don't think time is on your side, do you? It's a pity Zhang Muhan is a blockhead, otherwise I would definitely make him defile you." Hua Yuenü's face was already filled with malice.

Xu Lingyue naturally knew that there was another person on the other side, who was even more deadly than Hua Yuenu in front of her.

Suddenly, a brilliant idea flashed in her mind.

Several minutes had passed, and Tang Long couldn't withstand two more blows.

Shen Ming and Zhang Muhan were still fighting below.

Xu Lingyue glanced at it, both surprised and delighted, and found that Shen Ming had the advantage!

“I’m waiting for help, what are you waiting for?” Xu Lingyue provocatively asked.

Hua Yuenü listened to the sounds of swords clashing, her willow-leaf eyebrows furrowing.

Ignoring Xu Lingyue, he first retreated to a safe distance.

"Zhang Muhan, what are you doing!" she shouted.

Zhang Muhan acted madly, but was clearly at a disadvantage, his body already covered with several sword marks.

In contrast, his opponent, Shen Ming, was calm and composed, displaying the sharpness of a swordsman.

"I can't break their move! I can't break their move!"

Zhang Muhan screamed wildly, but no matter how he activated the "Breaking the Heavens Technique," he couldn't find any flaws in the opponent's swordsmanship.
