A Tale of Encounters with Immortals: A Peach Blossom Temple in the Martial World

The moonlight shines brightly, illuminating the frost on the ground; on this night of murder, my heart is filled with trepidation.

It pierced through the heart, killing instantly.

That's already sixteen lives lost.

Guo Lanying leaped into the air once more, her sword flashing, each strike taking a life.

None of the Binjiang Gang members are innocent. She had already investigated thoroughly; countless innocent souls had died at the hands of the Binjiang Gang over the years. Killing them all would give her no qualms.

"Go, go, go! Kill all those women, take off their pants and undershirts..."

"The kidneys are mine..."

"Avenge my brother..."

……

A chaotic cacophony of shouts and cries of battle.

"Ouch, my hand..."

"Oh dear, my leg..."

"Dad, my head..."

"Mom, this has pierced my heart..."

……

A jumble of screams and screams.

Blood flowed like rivers, flames soared into the sky. Just like when the Guo family was wiped out. An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. The Binjiang Gang struggled in the fire, bleeding and dying…

The deputy gang leader, Peng Xiaoji, was covered in blood. He looked at the young woman in front of him, dressed in a white dress and holding a long sword. She was like a fairy, cold and aloof, yet exuding a murderous aura.

"You think killing me is revenge?" Peng Xiaoji laughed loudly.

"I know, but you still have to die!"

Guo Lanying gently raised her longsword.

"Haha, good, good. You can't walk by the river without getting your shoes wet. You've lived most of your life a carefree life in the martial world; you've made a profit even in death. But I won't die unjustly. Let me tell you, the person who killed you..."

"puff!"

Another sword piercing the heart!

However, this sword strike was not delivered by Guo Lanying.

Peng Hu fell down.

Behind him stood a masked man in black, whose long sword slipped from his hand as the corpse fell, a drop of blood sliding down its tip.

"Kill and silence?"

Guo Lanying's eyes flashed with a cold light.

"He deserves to die!" the masked man said in a low voice.

"Are you afraid he'll tell the truth?" Guo Lanying sneered.

Man in black: "Do dead people need the truth?"

"Let's see who dies, you or me!" Guo Lanying raised her sword, and a layer of fluorescence appeared on the blade.

"Your internal energy has reached a state of perfection; it seems you have already mastered sword energy!"

"Villains die from talking too much!"

With a flick of her wrist, Guo Lanying's sword, glowing with light, pierced the air. The surroundings seemed to be locked in time, so fast that only a flash of light could be seen.

The light paused.

Guo Lanying's pupils dilated, the sword light remained stationary in front of her, unable to advance an inch.

Two fingers.

Two fingers, which terrified Guo Lanying, clamped down on her all-out sword strike.

Pull hard.

sword:……

Pull hard again.

There was a "pop" sound.

The tip of the sword was snapped off by two fingers.

sword:???

Discard the sword.

Fleeing away.

We've encountered a master of innate talent.

The masked man flicked his finger. The severed sword tip vanished instantly into the moonlight, seemingly merging with it. It shot towards Guo Lanying's back.

Guo Lanying must die. That's his mission. Guo Lanying must die; that's his ability. Even though Guo Lanying's cultivation has reached the pinnacle, she's still only a first-rate expert.

He could almost see the streak of light entering Guo Lanying's body, the sword energy severing her heart meridian, and then exiting her body.

Even after the sword tip pierces through the body, it will automatically explode into fragments.

Everything is within his grasp.

The man in black even wondered if his master was wasting his talents by sending him here.

The people here are invincible, their loneliness as profound as snow!

Before he could finish his sigh, his half-open mouth suddenly froze.

What the hell.

The sword tip stopped on Guo Lanying's back, and just as he expected, it shattered into countless fragments that floated in the air.

Reflected by the moonlight, they looked like dozens of tiny fireflies.

Forced by the sword energy behind her, Guo Lanying felt the sword tip not yet pierce her body, but the sword energy stimulated her skin. Just as she felt a stinging pain, all the pressure suddenly dissipated.

It seems to be a spectacle.

The dozens of tiny fragments that shattered from the sword tip suddenly floated in the air, then, as if carried by a gentle breeze, they drifted leisurely towards the black-clad men in a line.

Nest grass!

The man in black's eyes widened.

The dozens of starlight points didn't drift very fast, but he felt that no matter how fast he tried to flash, he probably couldn't outrun them.

Sweat dripped down his forehead.

A drop of water clung to one of the eyelashes.

Within the glistening beads of sweat, the starlight magnified and rushed towards us.

The man in black assumed a strange posture, raising his leg as if preparing to take off. But he didn't fly. He watched helplessly as dozens of cold stars disappeared into his body.

He did not feel any pain.

Because at the moment his body shattered, his mind was perfectly separated from his body.

It exploded?

The man in black exploded.

The body of the man in black: ...

That's it? I didn't even have time to feel the pain before they started cutting my flesh?

There was no deafening explosion, no spectacular flying of flesh, and no dolphin-like high-pitched cry as it died, but... it just exploded.

His body shattered into dozens of pieces in mid-air.

The minced meat separates and finally slides down slowly.

Yes, they slid down slowly. Just like dozens of starlight carrying those fragments, gently descending to the ground. Once all the fragments had landed, and the night wind blew, the stench of blood suddenly filled the air.

The night wind made Guo Lanying, whose back was covered in sweat, shiver.

The man in black is dead.

He died in a daze, but he himself was just as confused!

I took a deep look at the man in black to see if any of his belongings had fallen off, but there was nothing left.

A chill ran down my spine!

After taking several deep breaths to calm himself down, he pushed off with his feet and soared into the air like a night bird. After a few leaps, he disappeared into the night sky.

The sword energy still managed to damage a small part of his heart meridian.

It's not serious; you'll be fine after resting for half a month.

Lingzhou was no place to stay; she needed to find another place quickly. As she fled, Linbin Town immediately came to mind. Without hesitation, she raced towards it.

Enduring the pain, they traveled by day and hid by night, finally arriving at Linbin Town.

They found a farmhouse and hid there.

She changed into clean clothes, but when she took off her blood-stained clothes, there was a spot on her chest that looked like it had been burned, covered in ashes.

She touched the ashes with a puzzled look, then smelled them.

The distinctive smell of burnt yellow paper.

The talisman turned to ash.

Talisman paper...

Praying for blessings...

The sword tip shattered into pieces...

Dozens of starlight beams...

Kill the man in black...

All the speculation and evidence formed a seemingly closed chain of evidence. Despite having mentally prepared herself during the reasoning process, Guo Lanying was still shocked and took several steps back once the truth came to light.

He is a Taoist priest at Peach Blossom Temple.

That face looked very fair, with a long beard, and an air of otherworldly grace...

Oh my God!

Guo Lanying clutched her chest, slumped to the ground, and took a deep breath. If all of this was true, then this young Taoist priest, could he already be...?

Have they surpassed the legendary four top masters of the martial arts world?

She didn't know if the four top masters could do this, but it was already close to a miracle!

Little Taoist priest, oh little Taoist priest.

Guo Lanying's heart finally calmed down. After a long while, she gritted her teeth, stood up, and gazed towards Peach Blossom Mountain. She made a decision in her heart.

Taoist priest, I want to cling to your powerful backer!
