Singing with a Sword

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! Adolf was always confident and proud of his poisoning techniques, and he almost never failed! However, Qian Xiaotian and his daughter Qian Xiaomo were terrified of Yi Ranxiao, so they were very worried. At this moment, Qian Xiaomo asked, "Master, has the poison really entered that cup of tea?"

Adolf glanced at Qian Xiaomo with displeasure and said, "Of course, would I lie to you?" Qian Xiaomo immediately said, "No, no, Xiaomo didn't mean that..." But in her heart, she recalled the scene when Yiran Xiao took advantage of her. It was the first time she had physical contact with a young man and the first time she had been teased. Although she was angry, she always felt that there was a strange feeling in her heart.

Anger made her want to kill Yi Ranxiao, but this strange emotion made her unable to bring herself to do it. She couldn't understand what was wrong with her. As for why she asked that question just now, heaven knows whether she was trying to confirm if she could poison Yi Ranxiao, or hoping that Adolf's poison powder would fail and spare Yi Ranxiao's life.

Qian Xiaotian then said, "Master, my daughter is still young and doesn't speak very well, please forgive her. But Master, I'm worried that Yi Ranxiao might have been poisoned by the White Astragalus herb, and he might happen to have the antidote on him, then..."

"Hmph!" Adolf sneered, "Impossible! Unless the renowned physician 'Goupo' is here, who in the world can cure him?"

Hearing this, Qian Xiaotian finally relaxed and focused his attention on Yi Ranxiao on the opposite building. Qian Xiaomo, however, looked at Yi Ranxiao with worry, as if she was now certain of one thing: she didn't actually want Yi Ranxiao to be killed, but…

Adolf, however, was thinking to himself: Aside from the renowned physician Gou Po, the only antidote to the poison of White Astragalus is Black Astragalus, which has a synergistic effect with it. Consuming White Astragalus followed by Black Astragalus would neutralize their toxicity. But Black Astragalus is far rarer than White Astragalus. Could Yi Ranxiao really be so lucky as to possess it? Hmph, absolutely impossible!

Upstairs across the street, in Yiran Xiao's room, when he picked up his teacup, he seemed to feel his internal energy mysteriously dissipating. He didn't pay much attention at the time, thinking it was because he was tired. But when he drank the tea and swallowed it, suddenly, his dantian was empty!

The Yuan Power has disappeared!

Yi Ranxiao was shocked, her eyes wide open. What happened?

At the same moment, Wu Jingrun's diligent and studious expression, which was full of enthusiasm during his cultivation, suddenly changed into a sinister grin after his scheme had succeeded!

At the same time, Adolf, on the opposite building, exclaimed in surprise. Judging from Yi Ranxiao's expression, his Yuan energy should have dissipated temporarily. But the problem is, he just drank the tea. It should take another half an hour for the poison to take effect. Could it be that this guy's absorption ability is too strong?

"That should be it!" Adolf immediately said, "Chief Qian, the poison has taken effect in that guy's body, let's rush over!" Because the poison of the black astragalus will automatically disappear after the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, so we have to hurry!

"Alright! Let's go!" At Qian Xiaotian's command, the twenty-odd gang members he had brought surged towards the inn across the street, heading straight for Yi Ranxiao's room...

At this moment, Yiran Xiao was clutching her stomach, sitting uncomfortably in a chair. She was about to ask Wu Jingrun something when she saw his sinister grin!

"Jingrun, you...you poisoned your master!" Yiran Xiao couldn't believe it. Her good disciple was actually trying to harm her? But where did the poison come from? The tea she had just drunk? Impossible. How could she be poisoned immediately after drinking it? It must have been Wu Jingrun who poisoned her beforehand!

Wu Jingrun laughed loudly, "That's right, Yi Ranxiao, I'm the one who poisoned you! Hmph, Yi Ranxiao, you killed my master, how could I forget such hatred? Today, I will kill you to avenge my master!"

Yi Ranxiao sighed. Indeed, he had been careless! He had been so easily moved by Wu Jingrun; he was still too naive! But just as he was about to ask when that guy had poisoned him—

Just then, with a loud "bang," the door to the room was kicked open, and more than twenty people rushed in and stood on both sides. Then, Qian Xiaotian, Qian Xiaomo, and Adolf made their appearance.

"You guys?" Yi Ranxiao and Wu Jingrun looked at the group of people with surprise and suspicion. Wu Jingrun, on the other hand, was a little scared. Could these people... could they be here to rescue Yi Ranxiao?

Qian Xiaotian first glanced at Yi Ranxiao, as if looking at a lamb to the slaughter, then glanced at Wu Jingrun and said to him, "Nephew, don't be afraid, I'm here to kill Yi Ranxiao too." Originally, Qian Xiaotian thought that Wu Jingrun had truly joined Yi Ranxiao's ranks, but just now outside the door, he heard Wu Jingrun's words about wanting to kill Yi Ranxiao, and only then did he realize that Wu Jingrun and he were on the same path.

Upon hearing this, Wu Jingrun breathed a sigh of relief and said, "So Chief Qian is here to kill this scoundrel too." Qian Xiaotian replied, "Of course, if I don't kill him, what else can I do but save him?"

As they spoke, their eyes were all on Yi Ranxiao. Yi Ranxiao clutched his stomach, his face contorted with pain and anxiety. He didn't want to die! He was so young; how could he die so young? So Yi Ranxiao desperately searched for his internal energy, but to no avail! He then probed the positioning system with his mind, but the system also failed to respond!

Am I really going to die here today?

Seeing Yi Ranxiao's pained expression, Qian Xiaomo felt a sudden, inexplicable pang of sorrow in her heart. She was surprised herself. Why did her heart ache? Why did she feel heartache because of this man? Could it be…

“Nephew, today, let’s all hack this guy to pieces.” When he said “we,” Qian Xiaotian’s gaze swept over the more than twenty people he had brought with him, meaning: I, my men, and you, Wu Jingrun, let’s all go forward and hack Yi Ranxiao to death.

The group understood and together with Qian Xiaotian and Wu Jingrun, they walked towards Yi Ranxiao, surrounded him, and then revealed their weapons, including axes and knives, all of which were pointed at Yi Ranxiao!

Just as Yi Ranxiao was feeling desperate, the cup of tea he had just drunk suddenly churned in his stomach, and Yi Ranxiao was instantly filled with pain!

Upon seeing this, Qian Xiaotian asked, "Nephew, what kind of poison did you give him? It seems quite potent!" He had overheard Wu Jingrun mentioning poisoning him when he was outside the door.

Wu Jingrun was very proud. Damn it, the poison of the Black Astragalus Grass is extremely rare in the cultivation world. Now that he has it, he must brag about it. So he said excitedly, "Oh, Chief Qian, I went through all sorts of hardships to find this poison. I didn't eat or drink for a month in the Great Snow Mountain."

"Oh? So powerful?"

"Hehe, of course!"

"What's your name?"

Wu Jingrun raised his head and said, "This poison is the infamous Black Astragalus poison!"

Upon hearing this, Adolf's expression changed drastically, contorting into a near-horrifying grimace. Black... Black Astragalus? Then he screamed, "Chief Qian, this is bad! Retreat!"

At the same time, Xiao, who was in pain, suddenly had a bright look in his eyes. How did the Yuan energy in his dantian suddenly reappear? Without even thinking, he flipped his hand and took out the Green Sword!

The light of the green sword flashed, and Qian Xiaotian and the others felt a sense of foreboding. How did this guy suddenly gain Yuan power? Before they could figure it out, the green sword pierced through them!

Puchi~

One of the Axe Gang members was stabbed to death!

"Everyone retreat!" Qian Xiaotian shouted immediately upon hearing Adolf's warning. Unfortunately, Yiran Xiao's green sword had already moved! The Divine Thunder Sword Technique had been unleashed!

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! ...

Nine consecutive sword strikes! Each strike was incredibly fast! The Divine Thunder Sword Technique, swift as lightning!

Nine people were immediately stabbed to death! But at that moment, Qian Xiaotian and the others retreated to a distance.

"Damn it, kid, where did you get this black astragalus from!" Adolf cursed at Wu Jingrun. "It neutralized the poison in my white astragalus! It made my poisoning attempt fail!"

Wu Jingrun was stunned and furious. "What did you say? You actually poisoned him with white astragalus! Damn it! It's all your fault, you old bastard, that ruined my plans!" After saying that, he was about to rush over and fight Adolf.

"Alright! All of you, stop it! Our common enemy now is Yi Ranxiao!" Qian Xiaotian roared. Damn it, his luck today was absolutely terrible. "If we don't stand together against this common enemy, we will all die here today!"

He was still happy. He had figured out what had happened. He never expected that he would be so lucky, that he would even get to his grandfather's house!

"Hmph, you lot can't kill me at all!" Although the lightning ball was gone from Yi Ranxiao's body, he could still defeat this rabble with just ordinary lightning elemental power!

Qian Xiaotian was also a ruthless character. "Don't be afraid, everyone! Fight him!" With that, he led the charge! The men he brought today were all his good brothers who had gone through thick and thin with him for many years. Seeing their leader charge forward, they followed suit!

However, Qian Xiaomo, Wu Jingrun, and Adolf were the exceptions; they stood rooted to the spot without moving. Qian Xiaomo, in particular, wore an expression that was incredibly complex…

"Hmph! Overestimating himself!" A cold glint flashed in Yi Ranxiao's eyes. He had already investigated; Qian Xiaotian had wreaked havoc in the area, and the crimes he had committed were heinous! Therefore—

"kill!"

call out!

The Divine Thunder Sword Technique is as swift as lightning!

Although the Thunder Ball is gone, Yi Ranxiao can still use the Divine Thunder Sword Technique. Even though its power and speed are not as good as before, it is enough to deal with Qian Xiaotian!

Puchi~

The moment Qian Xiaotian raised his axe, his throat was ripped open! Qian Xiaomo screamed in agony, "No!"

Yi Ranxiao wouldn't listen to any of that. She drew her green sword, used the elusive movement technique, her feet creating a gust of wind as she constantly changed positions, thrusting her green sword out repeatedly!

*Puff puff puff...*

He killed the remaining Axe Gang members within two steps! Instantly, the room was littered with corpses!

Adolf was stunned. Damn it, he was skilled at poisoning, but when it came to real combat ability, how could he compare to Yi Ranxiao!

"Run!" Adolf thought to himself, and immediately turned and ran!

"Where do you think you're going!" Yi Ranxiao wasn't about to let this guy who wanted to kill her get away! Seeing Yi Ranxiao chasing after him, Adolf had a sudden thought. He turned around, waved his hand, and shouted, "Corpse-dissolving powder!"

Yi Ranxiao was startled and immediately retreated. He had heard of the corpse-dissolving powder before. As long as a person was touched by this poisonous powder, their body would immediately begin to melt!

Taking advantage of this moment, Adolf made his escape, leaving behind only a sky full of white powder. In reality, this wasn't corpse-dissolving powder at all; it was merely a lie Adolf concocted in desperation to scare Yi Ranxiao. Upon closer inspection, Yi Ranxiao realized that the white powder floating in the air was actually lime.

"Damn it, I actually got tricked!" Yi Ranxiao smiled helplessly. He was still too naive; he'd been fooled again, and Adolf had escaped. However, he wasn't too discouraged. After all, he'd already killed the mastermind, Qian Xiaotian, and the other mastermind—

Yi Ranxiao turned to look at Wu Jingrun, her good disciple! (Please vote for me! This chapter is 3,500 words long, please recommend and favorite!)
