Singing with a Sword

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! "Too slow!" Luo Rong, using his "Wind Riding Steps," instantly appeared in front of Yi Ranxiao! He kicked out, striking Yi Ranxiao squarely in the chest. Yi Ranxiao had no time to unleash her Earth Divine Fist. She was sent flying backward, spitting out a mouthful of blood! She then crashed heavily to the ground! Luo Rong had used eight-tenths of his Yuan Power in that kick! Now, Yi Ranxiao was slumped on the ground, completely exhausted, unable to stand up!

"Hmph, not only is he slower, but he only knows one move, 'Earth God Fist,' and nothing else. How can he fight me?" Luo Rong said arrogantly.

Yi Ranxiao smiled bitterly. Yes, all he knows is the Earth Divine Fist. How can he fight others? He's only using the same move over and over again. How can he win? Even Cheng Yaojin has three signature moves!

"Ah San, before you die, I'll ask you two questions. If you answer them, I'll leave you with a whole corpse," Luo Rong said. "First, how did you learn the Earth God Fist? Second, why did your Yuan Power increase so quickly?"

Yi Ranxiao's lips suddenly curled into a sly smile. He then swiftly retrieved the manual for the Earth God Fist and held the cover up to Luo Rong. The four characters "Earth God Fist" on the cover caught Luo Rong's eye. Overjoyed, Luo Rong instinctively exclaimed, "Give it to me!"

Yi Ranxiao chuckled and immediately retrieved the boxing manual. Luo Rong was furious: "If you don't give it to me, I'll tear you to pieces!" Yi Ranxiao smiled maturely: "Hehe, if you dare to touch a hair on my head today, I'll tear this boxing manual to shreds!" As he spoke, he held one end of the book in each hand, making a tearing motion.

Now, the only way to survive is to threaten the opponent with the boxing manual! Yi Ranxiao understood this.

Luo Ronghan said coldly, "You dare threaten me!" Yi Ranxiao laughed loudly, "Threaten? Damn it, I just wanted to kill you, and I didn't dare to threaten you? Sect Leader Luo, your IQ is indeed low. No wonder you can't become a master, no wonder you can't lead the Fengyu Sect out of Sizhou and become a top cultivation sect in the true sense of the Tang Dynasty."

After pausing and catching her breath, she continued, "No wonder you need the Earth God Fist. How can you improve your strength without it?" Yi Ranxiao was listing the benefits of obtaining the Earth God Fist for Luo Rong, hoping to make him want it even more and thus release her.

Luo Rong was unwilling to let Yi Ranxiao go. However, he desperately wanted the Earth God Fist, so he dared not act rashly. He was only thinking about how to successfully obtain the Earth God Fist while killing Yi Ranxiao.

After pondering for a while, Luo Rong suddenly gave the three elders a wink. At this moment, Yi Ranxiao's attention was entirely focused on him. As long as you launch a quick sneak attack, you will definitely be able to seize the boxing manual by surprise!

But to everyone's surprise, Yi Ranxiao was as shrewd as a monkey and immediately pointed out, "Sect Leader Luo, I advise you not to have any crooked ideas. Although I am injured, I can completely turn this fist manual to ashes the moment you attacked me!"

One sentence was enough to stop the three of them from making any further moves!

Luo Rong was furious that he'd been seen through and immediately began to think of a new plan. Li Sishui and the other two were also pondering. Yi Ranxiao laughed, "You four are really stubborn, still trying to find a way to kill me." With a cold laugh, he tore off the last three pages of the Earth God Fist manual, gripped them in his hand, and used his Yuan Power to instantly turn them into dust!

"You!" Luo Rong was heartbroken! Damn it, he had lost so many moves just like that!

Yi Ranxiao pretended to tear it again, how could Luo Rong bear it? He hurriedly said, "Don't tear it! Don't tear it! Don't tear it!" Yi Ranxiao smiled smugly, "It's easy to stop me from tearing it, just get out of my way and let me leave."

Upon hearing this, Luo Rong pondered for a moment, then looked at Yi Ranxiao's injuries and thought dismissively: Even if we let you go, you're covered in wounds, how can you go far? How can you escape my grasp? As long as you can't escape my grasp, I'm confident I can devise a good way to both kill you and seize the boxing manual! So, what's wrong with letting you go now?

“Alright, we’ll let you go,” Luo Rong said, and then the three elders stood behind him.

Yi Ranxiao had already guessed Luo Rong's intentions. Seeing them move aside, she immediately took out the Great Restoration Pill, a reward from the system, from her storage bag. She had eaten one last time, and still had two left! She immediately took one out and swallowed it. A refreshing sensation immediately spread throughout her body, and her injuries were healed by half! Yi Ranxiao, who had been lying listlessly on the ground, suddenly jumped up!

Luo Rong's jaw dropped in astonishment. That pill was actually... a Great Rejuvenation Pill! This bitch actually possessed such a miraculous healing medicine as the Great Rejuvenation Pill? How could that be!

Yi Ranxiao chuckled, seemingly seeing through Luo Rong's thoughts, and turned to leave. Luo Rong's plan was thwarted. He had thought this guy was injured and wouldn't be able to escape far, but now he was full of energy. How could he let him get away? He immediately took a step forward. But Yi Ranxiao immediately turned around, pretending to tear up the boxing manual!

Luo Rong was so unwilling that he abruptly stopped!

"Sect Leader Luo, if you dare to come after me! I will definitely keep my word and destroy this boxing manual!" Yi Ranxiao gave the four people a threatening look, as well as the little black dog; suddenly realizing that the black dog's nose was extremely sensitive and a great threat, he immediately picked up a pebble and flicked it!

call out!

This was completely unexpected; before Luo Rong and the others could even react, the pebble, like a hidden weapon, pierced the little black dog's head. The little black dog whimpered a few times before collapsing and dying. Yi Ranxiao didn't hesitate and immediately rushed off.

Luo Rong and the others were both angry and resentful. They had actually watched Ah San escape! And he had even killed the little black dog. You must know, this little black dog was borrowed from a master in the cultivation world of Sizhou. Now that it was dead, how could they explain it to that master?!

"I'm so angry!" Luo Rong could only roar to the sky!

……

……

The effects of the Great Rejuvenation Pill had fully taken hold, and Yi Ranxiao's injuries were completely healed. He then increased his speed to the limit, fleeing frantically. This time, he didn't continue his escape into the deep mountains and forests, but instead went the opposite way, arriving at Dongtai City, another large city in Sizhou. An old saying goes, the most dangerous place is often the safest!

Yi Ranxiao settled into a secluded inn in the northwest corner of Dongtai City. A few days ago, someone had searched the inn, and they shouldn't be coming back anytime soon. So Yi Ranxiao felt relieved and fell into a deep sleep; she was utterly exhausted from running around like this lately.

He slept for three days and three nights. When he woke up, he was still deep in thought. He recalled the transmigration novels he had read in his previous life; almost every protagonist, after arriving in another world, instantly became powerful thanks to the perks of transmigration, then began a triumphant advance, slaughtering enemies with unstoppable momentum, a truly exhilarating experience. But he himself, while indeed powerful, was constantly being hunted by his enemies!

This is absolutely infuriating!

Yi Ranxiao then began to investigate her transmigration benefits, namely the system within her body. She thought to herself, "System, why don't you give me some more benefits, or bestow some cultivation techniques or secret manuals upon me, so that I can become even stronger and kill Luo Rong and his gang!"

However, the positioning system in her mind remained completely silent, showing no reaction whatsoever. Yi Ranxiao wasn't discouraged; instead, she calmly analyzed the positioning system.

This positioning system initially located Bo Batian, a master who was about to fall and could then bestow his teachings upon him. However, Yi Ranxiao felt that the system could not possibly only locate the locations of those masters who could bestow their teachings upon him; it should be able to locate some masters who might be able to teach him techniques.

But the question is, when exactly can the system locate itself? Does it have its own time limit, locating experts once a month, or at what interval? Or is there no time limit, and it can locate experts as long as they appear nearby?

If it's the latter, then I can keep changing my location and let it keep searching, right? Yi Ranxiao suddenly understood. During this time, he had been fleeing in the wilderness. Such places are already sparsely populated, and there are even fewer experts. But now that he has come to the city, there are so many experts. Surely the positioning system can find a few more experts who meet the conditions and can teach him techniques, right?

With this in mind, Yi Ranxiao immediately left the inn and walked along the streets of Dongtai City. Dongtai City was a large city, with a vast area, and in order not to miss any corner, Yi Ranxiao walked through all the streets in the city.

Finally, just before noon, an exciting message came from the system:

"The system prompts the host that there is a master in Chunhe Building, 42 meters away from you, who can teach you magic techniques."

Yi Ranxiao was overjoyed. Just as he expected, as long as the location changed, the system would automatically search for the location of the expert; moreover, the system could also locate the location of those experts who could teach him specific techniques!

Immediately, Yi Ranxiao was about to head towards this so-called "Chunhe Building," but the system's voice continued to ring out: "System, please ask the host, do you accept this mission?"

Yi Ranxiao was taken aback. A mission? What mission? Could finding this master and having him teach him magic techniques also count as a mission?

At this point, the system was willing to talk to Yi Ranxiao more, "If the host cannot successfully get the master located by the system to teach you magic within a month, then the mission will be considered a failure! The system will severely punish the host! If the mission is successful, the system will reward the host with different prizes!"

Yi Ranxiao asked in confusion, "There are such rules? Why didn't you tell me these things the first time?" The system replied, "The first time is considered a trial period. Only after the first time do you need to follow the rules."

Yi Ranxiao hummed in agreement, thinking to herself that this task of finding a master to teach her magic might seem easy at first glance, but upon closer analysis, it was actually quite risky. What if you encountered a difficult master, one who absolutely refused to teach you magic? Even if you tried every possible method and used all your skills, don't forget that this task had a time limit: one month!

There's only one month left!

So Yiran hurriedly asked, "What does this punishment refer to?" The system replied without any emotion, "It directly deprives the host of their life!"

Yi Ranxiao instinctively wanted to curse. Just for failing to complete a mission, he was to be stripped of his life? That was simply too heartless! But then he thought, fortune favors the bold! If he succeeded, his strength would increase dramatically again. Then, would he still have to fear those beasts like Luo Rong?

"Host, do you accept the system task or not?"

Yi Ranxiao asked again, "What if I don't accept the mission? Will there be any punishment?" The system replied, "After refusing three times, the system will also deprive the host of their life!"
