The Young Swordsman: The Taoist Priest of Qingcheng Has Descended the Mountain

The person behind you may not have told you who I really am.

This is not something you small fry can even dream of.

Having said that, Tang Lian tossed her wine cup into the air and moved like the wind.

In the blink of an eye, he killed a man, and when he returned, his wine cup fell to the ground without spilling a drop of wine.

"Fingertip Blade! You're from the Tang Clan of Sichuan!"

Those who surrounded the attackers all showed a look of fear on their faces.

The Tang Clan of Sichuan is unparalleled in the world when it comes to hidden weapons; they kill without a trace, making them impossible to defend against.

Everyone is afraid that they will be the next victim.

Tang Lian, however, paid no attention to these people. She set up her carriage and continued on her way, oblivious to everyone else.

Not long after he left, the crowd dispersed, and two figures appeared where the carriage had been.

One tall and one short, one male and one female.

"Lord Ming, the direction is right. Tang Lian went in this direction."

The towering Underworld Lord brandished his massive golden sword, nodded slightly, and remained silent.

The next moment, Jin Judao blocked in front of him and suddenly slashed at the trees next to him.

The blade's energy instantly stirred up a flurry of snowflakes.

Several trees were broken in half.

He sensed someone in the woods, and that person was targeting them.

So the Lord of the Underworld made his move.

However, the strike landed on empty air.

Yue Ji reacted extremely quickly, her figure suddenly disappearing. A short while later, a sword light flashed in the forest, and then there was no more life.

The Marquis of the Underworld was greatly alarmed and, without the slightest hesitation, rushed into the woods.

However, what greeted him was a lion with nine heads that shimmered with golden light.

"The Moon Princess smiled as she sent the invitation, and the Underworld Lord was enraged and killed someone."

The name sounds impressive, but it's just a tool in someone else's hand.

They are all pitiful people.

Zhou actually lit a bonfire and put the two unconscious men together.

The feelings between these two are still commendable.

Yue Ji is very beautiful, even in Zhou Zhenhuan's eyes.

However, the ending for these two people was somewhat unsatisfactory.

The snow-covered forest wasn't cold, and the campfire crackled and popped as it burned.

Yueji's injuries were significantly lighter than Minghou's, so she woke up first.

She instinctively reached for the sword at her waist, and she actually touched it.

"Stop touching it, it's not like we haven't tried it before."

Your sword, though bound in robes, is no different from these withered branches scattered on the ground before me.

Upon hearing this, Yueji was not angry, but only felt a sense of apprehension.

Because this person was telling the truth.

She saw a figure sitting there unguarded, fiddling with a branch in his hand, the campfire flickering with flames, seemingly full of vitality.

Even so, she still dared not move, because she had a premonition that as soon as she made a move, the withered branch in that person's hand would transform into a sword intent that would destroy everything.

Chapter 9 You are indeed a beauty

Tsukihime dared not gamble, at least not so far as this person had no intention of killing them.

Otherwise, they would already be corpses.

Until we figure out this person's purpose, we should remain patient for now.

As the strongest killing duo on the assassin list besides Dark River, Tsukihime has killed many people and seen many masters.

But there has never been anyone like this person, whose depths are unfathomable, yet who is undeniably dangerous.

Since we're already here, we might as well make the best of it. We can't win a fight, and we probably can't escape either.

Tsukihime felt relieved.

She turned to look at Minghou and found that he was only unconscious. She breathed a sigh of relief, but was also a little puzzled.

"What exactly do you want?"

Zhou Zhen pointed to the rabbit on the fire: "Of course, it's to fill our stomachs."

As for the two of you, I'm just curious and want to meet you.

Tsukihime frowned her cool brows; this person was becoming increasingly unfathomable.

Did you knock them out out of curiosity?

This is the most outrageous and absurd reason that Tsukihime has heard in all these years.

Even if this person said he was attracted to her looks, it would be more convincing than this reason.

"Yes! After all, I just came down from the mountain, and I'm always full of curiosity. I want to meet some famous people in the martial arts world."

Coincidentally, you two have a bit of fame.

Being a big guy is fine, but if you find the reason of wanting your looks more acceptable, that's also acceptable.

After all, you are indeed a beauty.

Yueji fell silent, her hand constantly rubbing her waist. Could this person see through people's hearts?

He is indeed the most formidable opponent I have ever encountered in my life.

If possible, I would definitely kill this person with a single sword stroke.

But she also knew that she couldn't do it, and even with Minghou involved, the outcome would be the same.

"so what?"

"So now that we've finished meeting, you can leave. This rabbit is too small to share."

Oh, by the way, you guys better not touch Tang Lian.

With me here, you can't touch me. From now on, don't touch any orders from Snowmoon City.

Tsukihime's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly, a hint of moonlight flashing within them.

"Is this a threat?"

"No, this is advice. Threatening a killer is not a wise thing to do."

I'm doing this for your own good; after all, I don't really want to kill you.

And the answer that the Marquis of the Underworld seeks is the same for me.

Upon hearing this, Minghou immediately sat up. He had woken up early that morning and was looking for an opportunity to strike this man.

"Are you from Snowmoon City, or from Cold Water Temple?" Yue Ji pressed down on Ming Hou, naturally understanding his thoughts.

For the Marquis of the Underworld, that answer was more important than anything else.

But the person in front of me is too sinister.

Zhou Zhen shook his head, somewhat bored.

"Neither, but there's nothing I can do. I have a junior brother who wants to abduct a woman from Snow Moon City."

As the senior disciple, if I don't stand up for the disciples of Snow Moon City, I'll inevitably get scolded.

You should be able to tell that I'm not a monk, but a Taoist priest, so I'm quite unhappy that you think I'm from Hanshui Temple.

Therefore, I don't want to give the answer from the Marquis of the Underworld.

"You!" Yue Ji was furious, and moonlight shone in her eyes.

She said, "What if I insist that you say it?"

Then she moved, as if she were merging into the moonlight.

The Moon Shadow Sword technique is undoubtedly the most powerful and deadly sword technique in the world.

Zhou Zhenhuan looked up at the sky. It was strange; it was snowing, yet the moon was full.

At the same time, Minghou roared and slashed out with his golden giant blade once more.

The Marquis of the Underworld and the Moon Princess, hidden in the moonlight, were horrified to discover that their target had vanished.

Like snowflakes melting silently in the sunlight, without a sound or a trace, like a dream.

"Why bother! I'm in an even worse mood now, so you're all going to be in trouble."

A faint sigh rang in their ears, followed by the feeling of something exploding inside their bodies. In an instant, they coughed up blood, which fell onto the snow like specks of plum blossoms.

"This is a small punishment to serve as a warning. You'd better remember my words and not say you weren't warned."

The sound of the wind came from deep within the woods, and all was silent.

After a long while, the wind did not stop, and the snow did not cease.

"Lord of the Underworld, are you alright?"

Yue Ji emerged from the moonlight and hurriedly inquired of Ming Hou, who clutched his chest, his expression showing some pain.

He shook his head: "It's alright, that person held back."

However, there seemed to be a stream of true energy flowing within his body, balanced and peaceful. He couldn't dispel it, but it didn't cause him any further harm either, which was extremely strange.

Tsukihime touched her wrist, where a dotted line seemed to flash by.

Just now, the two of them clearly felt that they were either dead or seriously injured, but their injuries were not as severe as they had imagined.

You could even say it was very minor; there was an injury, but it didn't have any lasting impact.

That person could easily take their lives. If it was really to stop them from chasing Tang Lian, why did they let them go?

There are just too many things that don't make sense.

"Tsukihime, let's go! Let's get out of here first."

This person is far too dangerous, possessing extraordinary strength and an unpredictable temperament.

Minghou hoisted Yueji onto his shoulder, dragged his giant golden sword, and galloped away without stopping, as fast as a galloping horse.

Yueji clutched her chest with one hand and wrapped her other arm around Minghou's neck, breathing heavily.

"This person is extremely powerful, but his behavior is truly strange."

We've seen quite a few masters, but we've never heard of such a master in the martial arts world.

"Are we really going to continue hunting down Tang Lian?"

The Marquis of the Underworld was extremely wary of Zhou Zhen, and upon hearing this, he gripped the giant golden sword tightly.

"Whether I kill Tang Lian or not is not important. I believe that person knows my answer, but now the problem is back to square one, and I only have one last choice left."

Yueji sighed and gently touched Minghou's face.

"If you want to go, then go. At most, you'll just have to face that person again."

"At worst, I'll die with you," Tsukihime's words lingered in her heart.

Chapter 10 Sikong Qianluo

Zhou Zhenhuan only appeared on a tree after the two people left, holding a rabbit leg in his hand.

"Hmm, if we plant a wisp of true energy in their bodies today, it will be quite fun to refine them into medicine people in the future."

Zhou really felt like a miner, digging holes everywhere.
