Chapter 77 The girl comes from the stormy weather
"Where did this incompetent come from, daring to touch my senior brother?"
When that cold, delicate voice rang out, Xu Yuan did not feel relieved; instead, he couldn't help but think to himself that trouble was coming. Discover stories with empire
He hadn't expected Lin Qingque to be lying in wait here.
Honestly, when he was escaping from the two of them earlier, Xu Yuan had been very worried about Lin Qingque. Compared to Tian Liuli, the likelihood of Lin Qingque losing control was far greater after all. Although Tian Liuli, in her previous life, was an Immortal Venerable whose Heart Realm fluctuated due to her Heart Demon, she was still much more stable than Lin Qingque, who spent all day thinking about him.
He had always been worried that after he left them, Lin Qingque might do something irrational.
But he hadn't expected that after he left the two, Lin Qingque had remained quiet.
He had even breathed a sigh of relief, thinking she had matured a bit, had brought some brains, knowing it was time to prioritize her cultivation.
But now, here she was, lying in wait for him.
...
The fierce Sword Intent was about to reach those two young masters and claim their lives on the spot, but then a cold snort was heard.
An old man with white hair suddenly appeared in front of the two, flung his robe, and a wrinkled hand met the challenge.
"Who is this wild girl who doesn't know her place, daring to hurt my young masters? I'll give you time to apologize now..."
A majesty unique to a Core Formation Stage great cultivator emanated from him.
However, in the next moment, when the Sword Intent touched his palm, his indifferent face suddenly changed drastically.
Whoosh!
The stroke of Sword Intent pierced straight through his palm, heading towards the two young masters behind him.
"!"
Almost in an instant, the cold from the Sword Intent awakened the two men, their faces turning pale suddenly.
"This is bad!"
The old man exclaimed, his other hand, gathering Spiritual Power, quickly snatching at it like patching up a lost sheep.
He just managed to catch the Sword Intent by a hair's breadth.
The old man turned back furiously, his wrinkled face no longer displaying the calm of his entrance but filled with ferocity: "I underestimated you, attacking secretly at such a young age. Who are you?"
A bright light suddenly illuminated the cold night.
Footsteps sounded slowly, a young girl in a pink dress appeared, stepping lightly out of the deep alley.
She walked elegantly, the ripples caused by raindrops on the pavement under her feet, as if she were stepping on blooming lotuses.
The sky was overcast and gloomy.
However, when the girl stepped out, everyone's eyes lit up involuntarily.
With her hair like clouds and mist, her skin like jade, her long dark green hair flowed down to her waist, her face cold, her lengthy pink dress fluttered like a river, fitting her slender figure perfectly. She carried a white silk ribbon on her arm, floating from her shoulder, making her look from a distance like a fairy descending from the sky.
"Foundation Establishment cultivator?"
The old man was stunned for a moment, and then his expression relaxed.
It seemed that he had merely been careless because it had been too long since he'd last engaged in combat.
He softly said to the two young masters behind him, who had already wet themselves: "Do not fear, young masters. I will capture this woman to atone for your grievances."
"Yes, yes, yes, capture this wench for this prince. I want to deal with her overnight..."
After being awakened from their drunken stupor by the fear, and under the odd gazes of the passersby, their faces contorted.
As descendants of the Prince's Mansion, it was indeed an unprecedented embarrassment for them.
They stared dazzled at Lin Qingque, approaching gracefully, already thinking about how they would torment her.
Xu Yuan's eyelids drooped, and he sighed helplessly. His palm clenched, and a long sword suddenly appeared.
The old man was momentarily stunned, then laughed in extreme anger: "You also wish to fight me?"
The young people of today truly do not understand how high the sky is or how deep the earth is,
daring to challenge him, a Core Formation Stage great cultivator, with their mere Foundation Establishment cultivation.
It seemed that the earlier success of the girl had given him a misleading impression, making her believe that the gap between a Core Formation cultivator and a Foundation Establishment cultivator was not very large.
If that was the case, he, as an elder, should teach her just how vast the gap between Foundation Establishment and Core Formation really was!
Otherwise, she might truly believe she is the hero of some tale.
The old man's hair and expression were defiant, his demeanor proud.
"Come on, I will let you understand just how vast the gap between the Foundation Establishment and Core Formation stages truly is! And don't say this old man is bullying you younger ones, all of you come at me together!"
Xu Yuan disregarded his words, indifferently drawing his sword.
The sword sang like thunder, wrapped in fiery colors, brightening the night, and illuminating the emotionless brows and eyes of the handsome youth.
Of course, in the eyes of outsiders, it looked like a spirited, ethereal fairy maiden was the one drawing the sword.
Immediately, the Sword of Thunderfire aggressively emerged from its sheath, its icy silver light slicing through the night.
The old man looked up dispassionately, sighed, and his aura surged to the heavens as he shook his head and struck out with his palm.
"Stubborn fool!"
In an instant, boundless nightfall cascaded down from his palm, rolling in like the Yangtze River.
It covered the sky, blanketed the earth, and extinguished all brilliance.
But, it couldn't cover that flash of bright silver light.
The blade was clearly very thin, and the night was clearly very deep and thick.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om
Yet, under the sword light, that thick night seemed like thin paper, easily torn apart.
"What!"
The old man's half-closed eyes suddenly widened, but he still did not take it seriously, thinking he had gone too easy and fiercely struck out with both palms.
The boundless night reappeared, this time swallowing the astonishing sword light like a cyclone.
The old man heaved a sigh of relief.
But it was at that moment a sword light appeared in a curved arc before his eyes.
"Not good!"
He realized it, but it was too late.
A sharp pain radiated from his wrist.
"How is this possible?!"
He looked down, dumbfounded, at his wrists that had been severed without him knowing when, and the sword-wielding girl who seemed to have been standing beside him for a long time, his eyes wide in confusion.
What had just... happened?
The old man wanted to move again, but a sudden sense of impending danger stopped his movements, and he stood frozen.
He had a premonition that if he dared to move again, he would inevitably be ruthlessly killed by the girl before him in the next moment.
Xu Yuan elegantly waved his sword, flicking off the remaining blood on the blade, drawing a striking streak of color on the ground.
Immediately thereafter, he looked down at the Thunderfire Sword, speaking indifferently, "A Core Formation cultivator? Is that all?"
The old man's face turned red, and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, but he dared not make a move again.
Xu Yuan stood in the blood mist that tinted the scene like a painting, his white clothes purer than snow, as graceful as a startled swan, floating like a celestial being.
This scene made many hearts of those present uncontrollably start beating faster.
"This fairy is not only gorgeous but also very powerful."
Even the two young masters, who should have been frightened, temporarily forgot their adversarial status, swallowing their saliva quietly.
It was only when Xu Yuan's gaze fell on them again that they suddenly came to their senses, hurriedly shouting in fear, "You, don't come over! The Fifth Prince is my brother-in-law, if you dare to hurt a single hair on me, you won't be able to live in Dawn City! We have now allied with eight major sects, you better apologize right now!"
"Oh?"
Xu Yuan raised his eyebrows lightly.
In the next moment, blood spurted out like a fountain from both men's groins.
"Ah!!!"
'So handsome! As expected of my senior brother!'
Lin Qingque's eyes twinkled like stars, foregoing her previous cool and celestial demeanor.
Taking advantage of the distraction of others, she quickly wiped the drool from the corner of her mouth that greatly marred her image, then spread her arms and threw herself into his embrace like a fledgling returning to the nest.
"Senior brother!!! I've missed you so much!!!"
The girl's face was flush with the redness of a long-awaited reunion, and her mind was filled with numerous inappropriate thoughts.
Having not seen him for so long, she must first lick him from head to toe, marking him with her scent thoroughly!
However, just as she was about to collide into Xu Yuan's embrace, Liu Ruoxue, who seemed equally infatuated, narrowed her bright eyes and subtly shifted her lotus steps, blocking her inevitable path.
