~Chapter Five: Deadly Tenderness, Section Four~

The fiery red men's outfit peeled away, revealing a pale yellow silk bodice.

Beneath the bodice, her proud breasts struggled and throbbed, as if trying to escape the tiny thing that couldn't contain them.

Her long hair, once tied in a bun, was now down, and with a flick of her

jade-like neck, her black hair flew like a waterfall. Gently untying the knot of the bodice at the back of her neck, the pale yellow bodice finally slipped down, revealing her firm, full, and rounded breasts, the pink nipples slightly upturned, as if proclaiming a young girl's pride.

Removing her underpants, her long, shapely legs were exposed to the air, her naked, jade-like skin a breathtaking sight in the rising steam of the room.

Tie Xuanxuan stood before the bronze mirror, now covered in tiny water droplets, wiping the condensation from the mirror with a towel, gazing at her naked body reflected in it.

The girl in the mirror might not have the softest facial features, lacking some of the gentleness of a woman, but she possessed a completely different charm.

And those breasts, that slender yet powerful waist, those supple long legs, that pert, round buttocks—in which aspect was she inferior to others?

Nearly nine feet tall, a 1.8-meter-tall girl—such height was rare even in the North. How many men could be a head taller than her? They would have to be ten-foot giants!

Tie Xuanxuan struck a few poses in front of the mirror, even trying to make a delicate, feminine gesture. But she immediately gave up; affected mannerisms didn't suit her; her personality was more akin to her father's rugged and bold nature.

She puffed out her chest in front of the mirror, a chest that would put most women to shame, and pointed at the mirror, saying, "Where are you not like a woman? How many women in the world are as outstanding as you? Why do Father and my elder brother say you're not like a woman? Why do Cousins Feng and Lei always say you'd be more suitable to be their brother? Humph! You're just sometimes more forthright than a man, so what? You just hate those pretentious little women! You're Tie Kongshan's daughter, you have your own boldness, never try to imitate others! Just be yourself, that's being the best woman!"

She puffed out her chest proudly again, and Tie Xuanxuan walked contentedly to the bathtub filled with flower petals.

It was a large tub, large enough for her to lie in and soak her whole body.

Her hands, much larger and longer than most women's, but far whiter and more delicate than most women's, glided gently across the water, the floating petals slowly being swayed to either side by the ripples.

A faint, sweet fragrance wafted from the steam. Although she was a bold and outspoken young woman, she loved flowers and beauty.

She didn't care much for elaborate clothing, but she was meticulous about cleanliness, skincare, and ensuring she always exuded a pleasant scent. She

believed that feminine beauty wasn't solely about clothing; a perfect body, smooth, supple skin, and a perpetually subtle fragrance—such a woman, even dressed in men's clothes, was far more captivating than those heavily made-up, vulgar women.

Tie Xuanxuan believed this.

She slowly stepped into the bathtub, and as the warm water completely enveloped her, she let out a soft, pleasurable moan.

She began to scrub her skin, meticulously cleansing every inch, wanting to eliminate any imperfections.

Even if only she could see her perfect body, she wanted to make herself as pleasing to the eye as possible.

Midway through her bath, Tie Xuanxuan, immersed in the comfort, suddenly heard a strange sound from the roof.

It was a faint, almost negligible noise; in the rainy night, with raindrops relentlessly pounding the roof, this sound would be easily overlooked, even by most experts.

But Tie Xuanxuan heard it. She wasn't exaggerating; she could indeed hear the sound of falling leaves and flying petals within ten feet, so she clearly distinguished the strange sound from the patter of the rain.

"Could someone really be spying?" This thought flashed through Tie Xuanxuan's mind, and then she acted. She raised her right hand, bent her index finger, hooked her thumb around the tip of her index finger, and flicked it towards the roof.

"Silent Finger!"

"Swoosh!" A wisp of wind shot through the air, emitting a shrill sound, seemingly shattering the silence of the world.

"Snap!" The gust of wind exploded the moment it touched the roof, transforming into a three-foot-wide gale that shot upwards. The powerful force blasted a hole in the roof within that three-foot radius, disintegrating the roof tiles into dust that mingled with the rain.

Amidst the rain and dust, a young man, soaked to the bone, his long hair plastered to his face, and his light blue robe clinging to his body, floated down like a willow catkin from the hole, landing perfectly in the bathtub. He was submerged up to his chest in the warm water, his head covered in dust, facing Tie Xuanxuan.

The two stared at each other. The young man wore a humble, sincere, yet slightly lazy smile, while Tie Xuanxuan's eyes widened, his mouth agape.

"Splash—" The water rippled, and the boy's hand emerged from the water, his wet sleeve wrapped around his wrist. In his hand, he held a folding fan, covered in water droplets but not damaged in the slightest.

"Whoosh!" The boy unfolded the fan and waved it vigorously, splashing water everywhere.

"Ah, cousin, what a coincidence! I never thought I'd fall into your bathtub while out for a walk!" The boy laughed shamelessly, yet his smile was undeniably sincere.

His eyes were fixed on Tie Xuanxuan's full breasts, breasts that could not possibly be grasped with one hand, half submerged in the water and half exposed to the air, pink nipples glistening with water droplets, like cherries after the rain.

"Ah Ren… how could it be you!" Tie Xuanxuan's expression gradually changed. Even if she was oblivious, she would know exactly what kind of coincidence the Third Young Master was talking about.

"Isn't it you, little brother?" The Third Young Master, caught red-handed, was filled with annoyance.

Even with his exceptional lightness skill, though Tie Xuanxuan possessed profound abilities to detect any unusual movement within a ten-zhang radius, he couldn't detect him. However, his cousin's figure was too alluring, and the Third Young Master, who was peeping from the rooftop in the rain, couldn't resist the temptation. His little brother suddenly looked up and tapped the roof.

Thank goodness, the sound was so faint, so faint that the Third Young Master himself ignored it, yet Tie Xuanxuan could discern it and knocked him down with a single finger.

Tie Xuanxuan suppressed her anger, gritting her teeth as she said, "Aren, it seems your injuries aren't particularly serious!"

The Third Young Master replied sincerely, "Cousin, you don't know this. I was indeed badly injured, but as you know, the Resurrection Pill has miraculous effects, bringing the dead back to life. Plus, the Ghost Valley Divine Physician Qiao Wei circulated the medicine for me, and I myself have a century's worth of internal energy as a foundation, which is why I recovered so quickly. If it were anyone else, they would probably be dead by now."

Hearing the Third Young Master mention the "Resurrection Pill," a strange feeling rose in Tie Xuanxuan's heart. She knew that the elixir represented a life, and the Third Young Master had wasted it because of her and her brother's mischief, which was equivalent to losing a life.

Tie Xuanxuan was kind-hearted by nature and felt guilty for personally destroying the Third Young Master's life. Now, hearing him mention it, the thought of retaliating against him vanished.

As her anger subsided, Tie Xuanxuan gradually came to her senses. She saw that the Third Young Master was staring at her without blinking, and following his gaze, she realized that he was staring at her chest.

Just now, she was so angry that she hadn't noticed, but now that she had come to her senses, Tie Xuanxuan couldn't help but scream. She suddenly ducked down and sank into the water, submerging her neck and only her chin and above were visible.

"Aren, get out of here! You... how can you look at me like that? There's a difference between men and women..." Tie Xuanxuan stammered.

The Third Young Master chuckled, remaining perfectly still in the bathtub. "Cousin, speaking of which, we used to bathe together quite a few times when we were little! But ever since you turned ten, you haven't wanted to bathe with me anymore. When I went to watch you bathe, you accused me of peeping and beat me up... Since we're already in the same tub today, why not take a bath together and reminisce about the past?"

Tie Xuanxuan blushed like a shrimp, stammering, "It's different when we were little... Cousin, you've grown up now, and so have I. Just now... just now you saw my sister's... Isn't that different from when we were little? You, you turn your face away and go out! I won't blame you for this."

The Third Young Master shook his head and smiled, "Cousin, this time I absolutely won't go out. I remember my parents saying they wanted you to be my wife, because I'm too mischievous and they needed someone who could keep me in check. Uncle agreed back then..."

"How can you take childhood jokes seriously?" Tie Xuanxuan, contrary to her usual self, displayed the shyness of a young girl. "My aunt and uncle were just joking back then."

The Third Young Master said seriously, "Cousin, you're wrong, that wasn't a joke. Ever since I heard what my parents said, I've considered you my wife in my heart. Children can't be easily deceived, and my parents naturally understand this, so they've never said a word of deception or excuse to me since I was little. Cousin, do you think I'm not good enough for you?"

Tie Xuanxuan said somewhat panickedly, "Aren, what are you saying? I just feel, I just feel..."

Seeing that Tie Xuanxuan couldn't speak, the Third Young Master chuckled, his face naturally displaying the lewd grin of a womanizer.

"Cousin, come here, let me scrub your back!" Before Tie Xuanxuan could react, his large hand broke through the water and reached out, grabbing one of Tie Xuanxuan's breasts in his hand.

The third young master's hands were large enough, but even with a full grasp, he only managed to hold less than half.

His palm pressed against her nipple, his fingers gently kneading the peak. The soft, smooth, and elastic feel captivated him, and his little brother was already standing at attention.

The moment the third young master grasped her breast, Tie Xuanxuan let out a suppressed cry, but the latter half of the cry sounded like a distorted moan.

Tie Xuanxuan felt as if she had been electrocuted the instant the third young master touched her breast; an unprecedented sensation spread from her nipple throughout her body, converging at one point and rushing towards her lower abdomen.

Her body became weak and limp, like cotton, her legs trembled slightly, and a heat surged in her lower abdomen, making her feel hot all over.

"Ah Ren, stop fooling around... Didn't you say you were going to scrub my back? This... this isn't my back..." Tie Xuanxuan resisted weakly, grabbing the Third Young Master's wrists with both hands, trying to push him away.

But neither of them used internal force; with just wrist strength, how could Tie Xuanxuan compare to the Third Young Master?

The Third Young Master's hands remained motionless, his five fingers rhythmically pressing the ground, his palm gently touching the tip that had quietly become erect.

"Cousin, you can scrub the front first, then the back. When you take a bath, you're going to wash your whole body anyway, why be so particular?"

As he spoke, the Third Young Master closed his folding fan and tucked it behind his collar. The hand that had been holding the fan was now submerged in the water, quietly exploring a certain most mysterious area.

Tie Xuanxuan felt the ripples in the water, but she was already somewhat confused and infatuated by the Third Young Master's skillful flirting techniques. She breathed heavily, her very feminine eyes rippling with spring-like waves.

The Third Young Master's hand finally touched the soft, mysterious entrance to her paradise. His fingers, like parting grass to find a snake, slipped inside. Tie Xuanxuan trembled violently at this touch; the strange sensation almost melted her completely.

But this touch also jolted her awake.

The instant the Third Young Master's fingers entered, she resolutely resisted the temptation of that intoxicating feeling, making a difficult choice with her last remaining shred of reason.

She abruptly pushed the Third Young Master's hands away, leaped out of the bathtub, landing in a shower of water, grabbed her clothes draped over the screen in front of the tub, and fled the bathing room naked.

The Third Young Master stared at Tie Xuanxuan's retreating figure, initially stunned, then burst into laughter.

He suddenly squatted down, plunged headfirst into the water, curled up in a ball, and tumbled several times before finally standing up from the tub.

The Third Young Master wiped the water from his face, stretched out his limbs, and floated relaxed on the water's surface. He smiled as he looked at the three-foot-diameter hole in the roof, letting the fine rain falling from it splash onto his face.

"The 'Burning Desire' true energy and the 'Turning Clouds and Rain' divine skill—are they truly invincible? Heh heh, there are still extraordinary women in the world who can withstand these two divine skills. Who says women are made of water? My cousin, even if she really is made of water, the water that made her is molten iron!"

The Third Young Master murmured to himself, his smile gradually becoming filled with longing: "There's plenty of time, cousin. I... have always been someone who doesn't easily admit defeat!"

~Chapter Six: A Riot of Beauties, Section One~

The Third Young Master, dressed in soaking wet clothes with his hair disheveled, slowly walked towards his attic.

The rain was still falling, and it was already dark.

Several windows in the mansion's attics shone with light, casting a soft glow on the courtyard shrouded in darkness. The Third Young Master strolled slowly through this interplay of light and shadow, seemingly unconcerned about catching a cold from the rain.

"Hey, why are you walking so slowly in the rain? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?" a crisp voice called out. The Third Young Master looked up and saw a pretty, short-haired girl sitting on the roof ridge of a two-story attic, carrying an umbrella. An oil lamp with a glass shade sat before her, seemingly doing something. The

Third Young Master smiled slightly, then leaped into the air, soaring like a roc to the rooftop, landing on the slippery, rain-soaked glazed tiles.

"Oh, it's Xiao Ye. Your behavior is strange. Why are you climbing so high? Are you perhaps born in the Year of the Monkey?" The Third Young Master walked to the girl's side and sat down beside her.

Li Xiaoye had a thick cushion under her bottom, while the Third Young Master sat down casually without any cushion, seemingly without any discomfort.

"Why don't you use an umbrella in the rain?" Li Xiaoye asked, tilting her head.

"Why use an umbrella? I'm already soaked. Getting wet a little more won't make me even wetter, and it'll actually clean me up a bit more." The Third Young Master smiled, looking at Li Xiaoye. "It's pitch black all around, and it's raining heavily. You can't see anything. What's the point of sitting so high?"

"No way!" Li Xiaoye smiled sweetly, two deep dimples appearing on her cheeks. "I like rain, especially rainy nights. There's nothing more peaceful than a rainy night."

The Third Young Master chuckled and said, "The sound of rain falling everywhere, where's the peace?"

Li Xiaoye corrected him, "It's not peace, it's tranquility. Tranquility and quiet are completely different. Listen, when it rains, is there any unusual sound in the world?"

"The city, bustling by day, is utterly tranquil by night. Those who toil for a living, scheming or being schemed against, even the humblest and most weary, are now quietly nestled in their blankets, enjoying a rare moment of warmth. Perhaps they've warmed a pot of wine, sat by the window, listening to the rain, watching the lamplight flicker, and savoring this precious peace.

Look, the city lights, so hazy in this rainy night, piercing the rain like a dream, yet so beautiful. Raindrops fall on the tiles, shattering into countless tiny droplets of different shapes. Can you discern the changing form of each droplet at any given moment? Can you see the different worlds contained within those tiny things?"

The Third Young Master chuckled, "Little girl, when did you become so sentimental? I think you should give up being a thief and become a poet; you have the potential!"

"Where is the tranquility of a rainy night? Perhaps, under the cover of darkness, arsonists are breaking into homes and wiping out entire families, the sound of the rain masking the cries for help and screams; perhaps conspirators are hiding in secret chambers, plotting earth-shattering schemes, the rain and darkness reducing their chances of being exposed; perhaps the person hiding under the covers is busy making love with their wife, the rain allowing them to moan more freely; perhaps the person listening to the rain while drinking wine is thinking about how to kill their enemies tomorrow, the rain accelerating the growth of their hatred.

"This world will never be peaceful. As long as there are people, there will be conflict; as long as there is conflict, people's hearts will never be at peace. Girl, your thinking is too naive, hahaha..."

Li Xiaoye rolled her eyes at the Third Young Master and said, "You wouldn't understand even if I told you. How could someone like you, always scheming, understand what peace is?"

The Third Young Master smiled bitterly: "Scheming all day? You're mistaken. When have I ever schemed?" "

Li Xiaoye retorted: "How can you say there's no scheming? Your tricks for deceiving girls, and the methods you used to deceive your cousins, aren't they all scheming?"

The Third Young Master was silent for a long time before saying: "Xiaoye, what do you think of me as a person?"

Li Xiaoye thought for a moment and said: "Eight words: despicable, shameless, vulgar and lewd." The Third

Young Master chuckled, stood up, and performed several somersaults on the rooftop before leaping over twenty feet into the air. In mid-air, he unleashed a palm strike.

Rainwater within a twenty-foot radius swirled rapidly, drifting towards the direction of his strike, as if drawn by a powerful force, converging at a single point in the air and quickly condensing into a rapidly spinning water sphere the size of a water vat.

The sphere, as soon as it formed, flew towards the Third Young Master, who hovered in mid-air with his limbs outstretched, meeting the oncoming water sphere head-on. With

a soft "splash," the Third Young Master's body merged into the water sphere.

"Those who know me say I am worried; those who do not know me ask what I seek. Girl, our understanding of life is different. You see the most beautiful side of life, while I see the ugliest side of humanity." "The Third Young Master's voice came from the rapidly spinning water sphere. Li Xiaoye's eyes were wide open, but she couldn't see the Third Young Master clearly inside the sphere. 'It's better not to be awake when everyone is drunk and I am sober; it's better not to be clear when the world is muddy and I am clear!'

The Third Young Master's voice boomed like thunder that shattered the sky

. 'Every flower, every blade of grass, every speck of dust—everything, living or inanimate, has its own inner world. Girl, although I don't agree with your views, our conversation has given me much to reflect on. This towering rose is my gift to you!'

*Slap!* With a soft, sharp crack, the water sphere suddenly burst open, but instead of cascading into a shower of droplets, it bloomed like a flower, radiating outwards in layers of spray from the center.

As the spray burst from the sphere, it transformed into enormous petals, countless of which trembled slightly in the wind. A gigantic, transparent flower bloomed in the night sky, reflecting the soft glow of the glass lamps and refracting a breathtaking pink hue.

Li Xiaoye stood up; the umbrella on her shoulder had fallen to her feet without her noticing.

The rain gently soaked her clothes and hair. Wet with tears, her long eyelashes fluttered.

She knew nothing; her eyes were fixed only on that unprecedented, exquisitely beautiful, dreamlike flower.

Its existence was fleeting. After the giant flower fully bloomed, it spun several times in the air before its petals fell one by one, finally scattering into a fine mist that drifted down in all directions.

Li Xiaoye reached out and caught the water droplets, which seemed to still carry the warmth of the Third Young Master's body, murmuring to herself, "Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me ask what I seek… If the world is drunk and I alone am sober, it's better not to be sober; if the world is muddy and I alone am clear, it's better not to be clear… Third Young Master, what kind of person are you? Could it be… that I really misjudged you?"

Looking up at the night sky again, she only saw the falling rain; there was no trace of the Third Young Master.

The girl's eyes were filled with confusion…

"Crack!" Qiao Wei crushed the bronze wine cup in his hand; his hand was trembling slightly.

"Bang!" Uncle Li crushed the jade railing he was holding, his eyes filled with ecstatic joy.

The two men, who had been gazing at the vanished dreamlike water droplet in the sky above the balcony, exchanged a glance and exclaimed in unison, "The Way of Heaven is formless! Third Young Master has already touched the threshold of the Way of Martial Arts!" Sighing

, Qiao Wei shook his head and said, "Indeed, the new generation surpasses the old, and the old generation dies on the beach! If there were a few more prodigies like Third Young Master in the martial world, the older generation wouldn't stand a chance!"

Uncle Li nodded, gently brushing the jade dust from his palm, and said, "Just as Tie Kongshan said, this martial world already belongs to the young..."

※ ※ ※ ※

On a rainy night, a group of men in black, wearing raincoats and bamboo hats, hurriedly waded through the puddles on the street and entered Qilin Street.

"Bang bang bang!" The gate of the Du family mansion was pounded on by the leader of the group of men in black. After a while, a thunderous roar came from behind the gate: "Who the hell has the guts to come to the Du family and ask for trouble? Are you tired of living? Damn it, let grandpa loosen your bones!" The gate opened, and Tu

Hong, his face dark, led seven skilled guards out. He clenched his fists, ready to strike, when he noticed the man in black, his face mostly obscured by a straw hat, slightly raise his head as he stood under the eaves.

Tu Hong's expression immediately changed. He abruptly lowered his head, clasped his hands in a respectful bow, and said, "Master, it's you..."

The man in black, addressed as Master, remained silent, striding into the gate, followed by a group of other men in black. Only after everyone in black had entered did Tu Hong lead his seven guards inside, closing the gate behind him.

The Master strode towards the pavilion where Du Xiaoyan resided. Tu Hong hurriedly took two steps forward, rushing to catch up with the man in black... Behind him, a respectful voice said, "Master, Miss has already rested. It's so late now, you see..."

The Master abruptly stopped, turned around, and gave Tu Hong a deep look. Two cold, electric gazes fell into Tu Hong's eyes, and Tu Hong was instantly struck as if by lightning. He quickly lowered his head, his forehead dripping with cold sweat.

The Master snorted coldly and continued walking towards the pavilion. When he reached the bottom of the stairs, he pushed open the door and walked straight in. The men in black he had brought stood on either side of the door, looking warily at Tu Hong and the others.

Du Xiaoyan was sleeping on the bed wearing only her undergarments. She hadn't fallen asleep. Since the Third Young Master left, she had kept her eyes open, staring at the embroidered tent above her.

"Why do you always come and go like the wind? Why can't you stay and keep me company for even one night? Don't you know how much I wish I could fall asleep with my head on your chest..." Du Xiaoyan murmured to herself, reaching out to touch her lips. Her fragrant lips seemed to still retain his burning warmth.

Just then, the door slammed open.

It had been violently forced open; the two doors were shattered into eight pieces, scattered all over the floor. A burly man in black strode in, stepping over the broken door panels!

"Who is it!" Du Xiaoyan cried out in surprise, sitting up in bed. Her left hand gripped the thin blanket to cover her chest and below, while her right hand grabbed the long whip lying on the bedside table. She glared at the intruder. "Who dares to be so bold as to trespass into my boudoir, Du Xiaoyan?"

The man in black sneered, reaching for his straw hat and tossing it aside.

Upon seeing the bronze-colored face with three long strands of hair under his chin, handsome and imposing features, seemingly fair and righteous, Du Xiaoyan's expression immediately changed. Her lips moved, and she softly called out, "Father..."

This man was none other than Du Gongfu, the master of Tianping Manor, known as the "Master Craftsman" and hailed as the most just man in the world!

At this moment, Du Gongfu's face was gloomy, his eyes filled with anger. He snorted heavily, almost gritting his teeth, and said, "Where is Qin Ren?"

Du Xiaoyan was startled and said, "Father...daughter, daughter doesn't know who Qin Ren is..."

"Nonsense!" Du Gongfu roared. "I received word that you've allied yourself with Qin Ren, the number one lecher in the world, the target of the martial arts tournament's condemnation. You'd better confess honestly, is the so-called Li Gang you sent to find the other day Qin Ren?!"

Du Xiaoyan, her mind in turmoil from her father's outbursts, burst into tears, trembling as she said, "Father, I truly don't know who Qin Ren is. I have no relation to him whatsoever. How could that young master Li Gang be Qin Ren..."

Du Gongfu trembled with rage, pointing at Du Xiaoyan, "So, you dare to defend him like this! You've completely disgraced me! Three days ago, I sent word for you to return to Tianping Manor, and you've been dragging your feet until now, all to protect that lecherous Qin Ren! Today, I've come here personally to bring you back! Tell me now, where is Qin Ren? Speak, and I might spare your life; otherwise, I'll..." "I'll execute you before our ancestors, you shameless little slut!"

Du Xiaoyan's face turned deathly pale. Biting her lip, she suddenly looked up at Du Gongfu and gave him a bitter smile: "Father, kill your daughter!"

Downstairs, Tu Hong was in a state of turmoil. He thought to himself, "I wonder if Young Master Li has left yet... Alas, Miss is really reckless. Although the Du family is a martial arts family, unlike those scholarly families who are so bound by etiquette, an unmarried young lady has her lover staying overnight... If the manor lord catches her, he might kill Miss and Young Master Li in a fit of rage... No, I can't let the manor lord do that. I, Old Tu, have watched Miss grow up, and Young Master Li has been very loyal to me, Old Tu, and very generous. I can't let the manor lord kill them!"

Tu Hong gritted his teeth and stamped his foot. Just as he made up his mind, he heard a thunderous roar from the manor, followed by a loud slap, and then Du Xiaoyan's sobbing.

Hearing Du Xiaoyan's cries, Tu Hong felt a sense of relief. It was better for Du Gongfu to slap his daughter than to chop her with an axe. This also proved that Young Master Li had left.

However, remembering the manor lord's character and temper, Tu Hong suddenly felt uneasy. Before Du Gongfu could come downstairs, Tu Hong suddenly turned and strode towards the gate.

The black-clad men guarding the gate watched Tu Hong's retreating figure without uttering a word or stopping him, and the seven skilled guards accompanying him made no reaction. Tu Hong walked out of the Du family compound right under everyone's noses.

He was going to find the Third Young Master. The Third Young Master had told him where he lived earlier that day, and he was going to ask him to come and rescue the young lady!

~Chapter Six: A Riot

of Beauties, Section Two~ The pattering rain filled the world, the night grew deeper, and the lights in Dingzhou City gradually went out. The remaining few glimmers of light resembled a lone sail swaying in a storm.

Du Gongfu, accompanied by nine men, hurried through the night in the rain.

Du Xiaoyan was sandwiched between two men in black, her hands bound behind her back, barefoot, and draped only in a thin summer dress, exposed to the rain and soaked to the bone.

She staggered along, and if she slowed down even slightly, the two men in black would shove her forcefully.

Her left cheek was swollen, bearing a bright red five-finger mark. Her eyes were vacant, and her face was covered in water droplets, whether rain or tears, it was unclear.

Her small feet were blistered in several places, bleeding, but the blood was quickly washed away by the puddles on the ground.

Du Gongfu intended to take her back to Tianping Manor that very night. Although the gates of Dingzhou City were closed, for a martial arts master like Du Gongfu, scaling the mere city wall required only a few simple tools.

Although Du Xiaoyan looked completely bewildered, her heart was calling out incessantly, "Qin Lang, Qin Lang, where are you? Xiaoyan didn't betray you, but Father wants to kill Xiaoyan before the ancestral spirits. Xiaoyan can't bear to part with you... No matter who you are, no matter how bad you are, Xiaoyan only knows that you risked serious injury and almost died to save Xiaoyan... Xiaoyan only knows that Xiaoyan will always be your woman... Qin Lang, Qin Lang, where are you? Do you know that Xiaoyan is thinking of you in her heart..."

Without uttering a word, Du Gongfu, who had been walking briskly, suddenly stopped.

He raised a hand, signaling those behind him to stop, and immediately everyone halted.

The rain was pouring down harder, the continuous curtain of rain seemingly merging heaven and earth into one.

Du Gongfu stared ahead; in the middle of the long street, amidst the overwhelming rain, stood a solitary figure.

The man stood straight as a javelin in the pouring rain, the relentless downpour pelting him and soaking his long hair until it clung tightly to his forehead and cheeks.

He stood sideways, his face turned towards the direction from which Du Gongfu and the others had come. The pale red glow of the glass lantern hanging from the eaves on a corner of the street shone through the rain, casting its light on half of his face, while the other half remained hidden in darkness.

Du Xiaoyan finally saw the half of his face she was vaguely aware of, and her heart pounded wildly. Her eyes gradually filled with fervent light. If someone hadn't been beside her, she probably would have rushed over and thrown herself into his arms, weeping bitterly.

"Qin Lang, you've finally come! You've been waiting for me here, haven't you? Qin Lang, Xiaoyan knew you would never abandon me!" Du Xiaoyan cheered inwardly.

The young man standing in the rain was none other than the Third Young Master!

"Who are you?" Du Gongfu asked in a deep voice, his powerful voice piercing through the rain, causing the raindrops within ten feet of him to slant away.

The Third Young Master raised his head, silently watching the falling rain.

"Who exactly are you? Why are you blocking my path, Du Gongfu!" Du Gongfu was furious. In the martial arts world of the Great Qin Empire, although he wasn't one of the top masters, in terms of reputation, he wasn't necessarily inferior to the leaders of the martial arts world, Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan.

Furthermore, in recent years, he had frequently appeared in the martial arts world, at least outwardly upholding some principles of justice, thus earning the reputation of being the most just person in the world.

Which martial arts hero didn't treat him with respect, at least outwardly giving him some face?

"Who am I?" the Third Young Master finally spoke. "Am I not the person you people have been searching for? Am I not the number one lecherous devil, the biggest scoundrel in the martial world?"

Lowering his head, the Third Young Master smiled at Du Gongfu, saying with a hint of mockery, "Why don't you recognize me now that I'm standing right in front of you?"

Du Gongfu's expression changed drastically, and he gritted his teeth, saying, "You are Qin Ren?"

The Third Young Master smiled but did not answer. He looked at Du Xiaoyan and said softly, "Xiaoyan, I'm here. Don't worry, I will take you away. You are my woman, Qin Ren's woman, and no one can hurt you."

Du Xiaoyan was so happy she almost fainted. She was now completely devoted to the Third Young Master, and she didn't care about his bad reputation in the martial arts world.

However, she didn't know that behind the Third Young Master's righteous and tender declaration lay the subtext: "No one can hurt you except me."

Yes, the Third Young Master was a man with an extremely strong sense of dominance. Even if he didn't truly love his woman, he would never allow anyone but him to harm her.

So when Tu Hongfei found him at the Li family's residence and told him that Du Gongfu had personally led men to arrest Du Xiaoyan and might execute her, the Third Young Master abandoned Tu Hongfei and used his fastest movement technique to block Du Gongfu's only way out of the city.

Seeing that the Third Young Master was ignoring him again, and then seeing the uncontrollable happiness on his daughter's face after hearing the seductive words of the lecherous demon, Du Gongfu finally became completely enraged.

"Give me the Great Eight Pieces!" Du Gongfu roared in a low voice. The nine men in black behind him shot towards the Third Young Master like nine bolts of lightning at his command.

The three at the front leaped into the air, attacking the Third Young Master from above, each wielding a longsword gleaming with a cold light, its tip radiating a sword aura a full five inches long.

Three of the other six leaned forward, flying close to the ground, their three swords, also radiating a five-inch-long azure sword aura, slashing towards the Third Young Master's lower body.

The last three charged forward, their three swords locking onto the Third Young Master's midsection.

The nine men in black coordinated flawlessly, their interwoven sword net almost completely blocking the Third Young Master's escape routes. The azure sword aura flickered erratically, like the forked tongue of a venomous snake.

The Third Young Master smiled. This time, surprisingly, he didn't display the eerie, cold smile of a sword saint like the Star River Sword Saint when facing the enemy's attack.

His smile was gentle and warm, like the softest, warmest sunlight on a March morning.

Then he gently struck out with his palm, but this palm wasn't aimed at any of the men in black. It was as if he were striking empty space, casually pressing out in some inexplicable direction.

The space in front of the Third Young Master seemed to undergo a strange distortion when his palm struck out. This feeling was very mysterious. The space itself didn't change, but almost everyone who saw the Third Young Master strike out felt that the distortion was perceptible.

This feeling was strongest among the nine black-clad swordsmen who were attacking the Third Young Master. They felt that after the Third Young Master struck out, his entire being became illusory.

It was like looking at a fish swimming in clear water; no matter how clearly you see the fish, when you reach out to catch it, you find that the distance between the fish and what you see is different.

Now, to these nine men in black, the Third Young Master was that fish swimming in the water. They had clearly locked onto the Third Young Master's location and determined the distance before making their move, but as they lunged closer and their swords prepared to strike, they felt intensely that their swords could not possibly pierce him!

The nine men in black's swordplay froze, unable to strike. They dared not lower their swords, for if they missed, they would inevitably reveal a fatal flaw!

In that instant when the nine men in black's swordplay froze, the Third Young Master moved. He floated up like a feather, seemingly weightless, yet his speed was faster than lightning!

In an extremely short time, the Third Young Master swiftly circled the nine men in black, casually unleashing nine palm strikes.

"Pfft pfft pfft..." Nine muffled explosions followed, and the bodies of the nine men in black slowly disintegrated, slowly exploded, and slowly blossomed into nine enormous blood-red roses, visible to any ordinary person.

The disintegration of every piece of skin, every muscle, and every bone was clearly visible, even the spurting of every drop of blood and the blooming of every blood flower were crystal clear.

The disintegration of the nine people was like a slow-motion scene in a movie, but the Third Young Master's movements were like fast-forwarded shots. This stark contrast between slow and fast created an indescribable discomfort for Du Gongfu, who witnessed the process clearly.

He even felt like vomiting.

The Third Young Master of the Qin family, whose world-shaking martial art would later become renowned, a peerless skill even more terrifying than the three greatest palm techniques in the world, the "Overlord's Decree," was beginning to take shape on this rainy night, as he glimpsed the gateway to the Heavenly Dao!

Qin Ren smiled, his hands behind his back, and walked towards Du Gongfu and Du Xiaoyan. Behind him, the nine enormous blood flowers that had bloomed had just withered and melted into the rain.

"I vaguely remember the swordsmanship those nine men in black used just now; it seemed to be the swordsmanship of the 'Bewitching Heaven Sect' of the Demonic Cult," the Third Young Master said as he walked. "I never imagined that Du Gongfu, the self-proclaimed most impartial and just chivalrous man in the world, would collude with cult thugs! What right do you have to judge me? What right do you have to judge Xiaoyan?"

Du Gongfu's expression was solemn, and he remained silent. Facing the Third Young Master's approach, he reached out and untied a long, narrow black cloth bundle that he had been carrying on his back.

Du Gongfu slowly unwrapped the bundle, revealing a five-foot-long iron hammer.

The hammer was completely black, like charcoal. The Third Young Master chuckled as he looked at it: "'Master Craftsman Du Gongfu,' when did you switch to using a hammer? Are you planning to turn Tianping Manor into a blacksmith shop? Hmm, being a blacksmith is good. Every year, countless young people from the Great Qin Empire set out to roam the martial world. Aren't they all going to buy swords, spears, and halberds? Being a blacksmith is profitable. The more chaotic the martial world becomes, the greater the demand for weapons, and of course, the more you'll earn."

Du Gongfu snorted coldly, gripped the axe handle with both hands, and twisted it with force. With two clangs, two golden, faintly glowing, sharp axe blades suddenly sprang out from the left and right sides of the foot-long hammerhead!

"Qin Ren, you should be proud! I haven't drawn two axe blades in a fight for thirteen years! In these thirteen years, the most skilled fighters I've faced have only managed to force me to draw one axe blade, and most of them weren't even worthy of my drawing. You..."

"Enough with the nonsense," the Third Young Master interrupted Du Gongfu's boasting. In the Third Young Master's view, when he fought, only he could deliver lengthy and reasoned arguments. Everyone else was just there to listen.

The Third Young Master looked at Du Xiaoyan with infinite tenderness and said, "Xiaoyan, do you want your father dead, or do you want him to live?"

Having his pre-fight formalities interrupted by the Third Young Master, and hearing his blunt question, Du Gongfu's anger surged again. However, as a renowned martial arts master, he naturally knew that maintaining composure and a calm, unwavering state was crucial to unleashing his full power, so he suppressed his anger.

Just then, the Third Young Master noticed a change in Du Gongfu's expression and immediately feigned concern, saying, "Old Master Du, oh, perhaps I should call you father-in-law. People get sick more as they get older, especially the heart, liver, lungs, kidneys, and so on. You should be careful and not get angry so easily. If you die of anger, I'll be very happy, but I'll lose a father-in-law, which means I'll miss out on a red envelope during holidays. So, in the end, I'll be at a disadvantage. Father-in-law, great-father-in-law, let's be serious, let's kill, but please remember, never, ever get angry! Look at me, haven't I been happily killing people all along? Even when I consulted Xiaoyan on your life or death, I was all smiles!"

Even the calmest and most rational Du Gongfu couldn't hold back any longer. He swung his axe violently and roared, "Shut up!"

The axe, which appeared extremely heavy, seemed as light as a feather in Du Gongfu's hands. The swing produced not a sound, not even the sound of raindrops hitting the air. All the raindrops were forced back ten feet by the axe's force!

The golden axe blade, carrying a faint golden light, sliced through the air, igniting a golden flame. The golden flame condensed into a dazzling crescent moon, striking its target with unstoppable momentum!

The Third Young Master's expression suddenly changed, for Du Gongfu's powerful and incredibly fast axe strike was not aimed at him, but at Du Xiaoyan, who stood less than seven feet behind him!

Du Xiaoyan, already exasperated and confused by the bickering between the Third Young Master and Du Gongfu, was completely unprepared for Du Gongfu. Furthermore, she never imagined that her doting father would attack her before the final battle!

Caught off guard and unable to dodge, the golden crescent-shaped axe light silently swept towards Du Xiaoyan's chest.

~Chapter Six: A Riot of Flowers, Section Three~

Du Xiaoyan seemed to see her life slip away with the light that bloomed from that axe, the brilliant light of the ghost axe seemingly symbolizing the final brilliance and glory of her life.

"Life should be like a summer flower, blooming only for a fleeting moment." Lying in the Third Young Master's arms, listening to his gentle whispers, these words suddenly echoed in her mind.

In the blink of an eye, at the critical moment of life and death, Du Xiaoyan felt an unusual peace.

She seemed utterly unafraid of death knocking at her door, gazing at the Third Young Master who had already lunged at her, her rain-drenched face blooming with the most beautiful and radiant smile of her life.

"Time waits for no one!" A deep, earth-shaking voice suddenly rang out in the rainy night, and the space around Du Gongfu and Du Xiaoyan suddenly and strangely paused. The raindrops, swirling in the air, seemed to slow their descent, and so did Du Gongfu's axe, poised to strike Du Xiaoyan's chest.

Time seemed to slow its flow the instant the shout rang out. Though this slowing was merely a blink of an eye, it was enough for someone unaffected by the sudden pause in time!

A moment later, time resumed its rapid flow, space returned to normal, raindrops fell swiftly, and Du Gongfu's axe flashed past like lightning.

"Sizzle—Boom!" First came a piercing sound of tearing silk, followed by a deafening explosion of true energy. Du Gongfu's demonic axe had struck a human, but there was no joy on his face.

Only shock, fear, and disbelief!

For Du Gongfu had struck the Third Young Master's broad back. The Third Young Master had somehow appeared before Du Xiaoyan, embracing her with open arms, taking the brunt of Du Gongfu's axe blow with his back!

The Third Young Master's outer robe was cleaved in a long gash by the axe, revealing his close-fitting "Indestructible Golden Silk Armor." Even this armor, supposedly impervious to blades, spears, water, and fire, bore a shallow mark from Du Gongfu's full-force axe strike.

While the armor largely neutralized the powerful shockwave from the axe's energy striking the Third Young Master's back, the Third Young Master still absorbed a significant portion of it.

Furthermore, he had used all his strength to perform his lightness skill during that moment of sudden slowing, leaving him without any internal energy to protect himself.

Therefore, when the force not neutralized by the armor penetrated him, the Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan were still thrown forward.

A trickle of blood escaped the Third Young Master's mouth, dripping onto Du Xiaoyan's smooth forehead, but the Third Young Master, gazing into Du Xiaoyan's eyes, maintained a gentle smile.

A figure suddenly rushed out from the side and caught the Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan. It was at the critical moment that Qiao Wei, using all his strength, unleashed "Time Waits for No One" from a distance, temporarily halting time!

Even now, having caught the Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan, Qiao Wei was swaying precariously. Such a long-range attack was too much for even someone as capable as Qiao Wei. Moreover, he had to forcefully gather his energy to catch the Third Young Master and Du Xiaoyan, who had been blasted away.

After catching them, Qiao Wei, pale-faced, swayed twice and coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The Third Young Master's current strength might not be enough to kill Du Gongfu, but Qiao Wei was absolutely certain. However, to save someone from Du Gongfu's full-force attack, despite their combined efforts, they still ended up in such a sorry state.

Therefore, killing is not difficult; saving lives is.

Even with hands possessing overwhelming power, how many lives can one truly save?

Both the Third Young Master and Qiao Wei deeply experienced this tonight.

A sharp, piercing sound suddenly rang out. Shocked by the fact that his axe strike hadn't killed Qin Ren, Du Gongfu looked in the direction of the sound, only to find that nothing was attacking him except for the sound itself!

However, Du Gongfu instinctively sensed danger. He held his axe horizontally to his chest to block the attack. At the same moment, a soft cracking sound rang out, and an invisible force suddenly exploded on the axe blade, sweeping across a three-foot radius like a whirlwind. In

his hasty attempt to block, Du Gongfu only had time to circulate his internal energy to protect his heart meridian. The double-edged axe blade could only protect a two-foot radius. Therefore, in areas where the axe couldn't reach, the clothes on his chest were completely pulverized into the finest powder, and his flesh was ripped open, blood and gore flying everywhere.

"The Silence-Shattering Finger," a finger that shatters the silence of the world, also has another interpretation: a finger of breathtaking silence.

Sound and formlessness are not its highest level; the highest level of the Silence-Shattering Finger is complete silence and formlessness. The finger strike was silent and invisible, yet when it erupted, it possessed a breathtaking power!

If the finger strike aimed at Du Gongfu had reached the highest level of silence and invisibility, Du Gongfu would undoubtedly be dead!

Having unleashed this finger strike from ten feet away, Tie Xuanxuan felt utterly exhausted, swayed twice, and collapsed powerlessly. Li Xiaoye, who was beside her, quickly caught her.

Tie Xuanxuan could only strike with her finger from a distance of one foot at most; this attack from ten feet was a testament to her all-out effort. Having concentrated all her power into this single finger strike, Tie Xuanxuan was now completely drained, with no true strength left in her body.

Du Gongfu had already realized that the long street was teeming with experts, and no matter how high his martial arts were, he had little chance of victory.

Therefore, in the instant the finger struck, Du Gongfu made a decision. Using the recoil from the explosion of the "Silent Finger" at his chest, he flew backward at the fastest speed he had ever seen.

The three young masters are all internally injured, Qiao Wei is internally injured, Tie Xuanxuan is internally injured, Du Xiaoyan won't attack Du Gongfu, and Li Xiaoye's skill is not up to par. None of those who have appeared so far can stop Du Gongfu.

However, there is one more person yet to appear, who is absolutely certain of killing the already injured Du Gongfu!

"Illusion—Demon—Hand—" Uncle Li's deep, resonant voice boomed like rolling thunder in the night sky. A crystal-clear, dreamlike hand seemed to break through the barriers of space, completely ignoring spatial distance, appearing out of nowhere and blocking Du Gongfu's retreat.

Du Gongfu suddenly turned, his right hand holding an axe, and swung it towards Uncle Li's hand. The brilliant axe light was like lightning slicing through the sky!

"Clang!" The axe and hand collided, producing a clear, resonant sound, like metal striking metal. Du Gongfu's body trembled violently, and he coughed up a mouthful of blood.

On the golden axe blade that met Uncle Li's palm, countless crystals, as sparkling as diamonds, appeared, then shattered into pieces, turning into a pile of crystal shards.

Du Gongfu was cornered. Uncle Li stood imposingly before him, his white beard and hair moving without wind. The rain, which was still a foot away from his body, automatically drifted to the sides, not a single drop touching him.

"Illusion Demon True Lord... Li Guding..." Du Gongfu looked at Uncle Li with a face full of terror. "I never imagined that in the small city of Dingzhou, both 'Time Waits for No Man' Qiao Qitian and 'Illusion Demon True Lord' Li Guding would appear at the same time! Today, I, Du, have truly met my end..."

Uncle Li sneered and said, "Using twelve-tenths of your power to kill your own daughter, you father are truly worse than a beast! Although I, Li, am an old devil and an old villain, I am not ashamed of your character! To attack you would be to defile my Illusion Demon Hands!"

As Uncle Li spoke, he approached Du Gongfu step by step, forcing Du Gongfu to retreat repeatedly, unknowingly returning to the spot where he had fled.

Du Xiaoyan helped the Third Young Master over. Tu Hong, who had arrived when Qiao Wei appeared, had been hiding nearby until now, and he was also helping Qiao Wei. Li Xiaoye helped Tie Xuanxuan, who had just woken up and was still deathly pale.

The rain had stopped without them noticing, but the air was still damp, and the wind seemed to still carry a wisp of moisture.

The seven people surrounded Du Gongfu in the middle of the long street. Du Xiaoyan looked at Du Gongfu with a sorrowful expression, while Tu Hong looked at Du Gongfu with a mixture of shame, anger, and confusion in his eyes.

Du Gongfu glanced at Tu Hong, sneered, and said, "Now I finally understand why so many experts have suddenly come to intercept me. Heh, girls are naturally inclined to be promiscuous, but I never expected that even my subordinates from Tianping Manor would betray me!"

Tu Hong initially lowered his head in shame when Du Gongfu looked at him, but after Du Gongfu finished speaking, Tu Hong suddenly raised his head and shouted, "Master, I, Tu Hong, have wronged you! But colluding with the Demonic Sect is wrong! Using twelve-tenths of your power to kill Miss is wrong! I know you attacked Miss only because you weren't entirely confident of defeating the Third Young Master in the impending final battle, so you wanted to use Miss to disrupt his mind! Master, you're wrong, you shouldn't have used such methods. If you had fought the Third Young Master fairly..." Even if I lose, I, Tu Hong, will still respect you as before. But your tricks... only chill my heart!"

Du Gongfu said disdainfully, "Short-sighted, what do you know? Those who achieve great things don't concern themselves with trifles, and they'll stop at nothing. That's why I became the master of Tianping Manor, while you can only guard the Du family!"

Du Xiaoyan said in a trembling voice, "Father... how can you say that... could it be that, could it be that your daughter is just a tool for you to achieve your great things? If your daughter is just a tool, then why did you dote on her so much before?"

Du Gongfu's expression darkened, then he shook his head and said, "Fine, Xiaoyan, since I can't escape death today anyway, I'll tell you the truth. Actually, I'm not your biological father."

"What did you say?" Du Xiaoyan exclaimed, "Are you lying to me?"

A strange smile gradually spread across Du Gongfu's face: "Hehe... Anyway, I'm going to die soon, and I've been pretending to be a good person for decades. What can't I say? If I don't say it, I won't die in peace! Xiaoyan, do you know why I spoil you so much? It's simply because you are the daughter of the woman I love most. But that woman married someone else, a weak scholar who is countless times inferior to me in terms of wealth, martial arts, and looks!

"Heh, I can't stand seeing others living happier than me, and I hate it when what belongs to me is taken away. So I killed that scholar and kidnapped your mother. And your mother was already five months pregnant with you at that time. I would lie on her big belly and fuck her hard several times a day for several months until you were born!"

"Haha... That bitch, for the sake of you in her belly, she endured me for five months. After you were born, she finally couldn't take it anymore and hanged herself, leaving you all alone in the world. Hehe... Hehehehehe... I raised you so you could take her place and let me do it. Otherwise, why do you think I would spoil you like this?"

"Damn it, damn it, damn it, damn it!" Du Gongfu suddenly cursed excitedly, "Qin Ren, Qin Ren, that beast! He actually took your virginity before I could enjoy you, and you, you little bitch, still protect him so much! You little bitch, I wish I could chop you in half with an axe! And Qin Ren, I wish I could tear you into eight pieces!"

"Ugh..." Du Xiaoyan suddenly bent over and vomited, while Tu Hong clenched his fists tightly, his eyes spitting fire as he looked at Du Gongfu, who was laughing wildly and whose face was as ferocious as a ghost, wishing he could tear him to pieces with his bare hands.

The Third Young Master held Du Xiaoyan's shoulder with one hand and gently patted her back with the other. Looking at Du Gongfu, the gentle and warm smile on his face finally disappeared.

"Du Gongfu, I thought I was the number one beast in the world, but who knew you were even worse than a beast!" The Third Young Master said slowly, "Originally, I had no right to curse you, but... you really shouldn't have angered me. I, Qin Ren, will never allow my woman to be hurt by others! Today, I will kill you with my own hands!"

"Oh ho ho ho... what a man of true feelings and loyalty..." A faint, uncertain female voice, sometimes loud and sometimes soft, as if coming from all directions at the same time, suddenly rang out. Accompanying this voice, twelve alluring women carrying glass lanterns and dressed in palace attire floated over from the end of the long street as if they were floating without touching the ground.

Then, four beautiful women, dressed only in pale yellow, semi-transparent robes with nothing underneath, their exquisite figures vaguely visible in the lamplight, flew in, pulling a huge red carpet. The red carpet unfurled in the air, and by the time they landed, it had covered half the street.

The twelve alluring women who had appeared earlier hung glass lanterns under the eaves of the houses on both sides of the street, took off their shoes, and stepped barefoot onto the red carpet, surrounding the four women in yellow robes, and began to dance. Their dance was incredibly seductive, their movements mimicking the various states of male-female intercourse, even emitting occasional ecstatic moans, indescribably obscene and lewd.

The Third Young Master and his companions were completely dumbfounded.

Looking at this bizarre scene, the Third Young Master muttered to himself, "Holy crap, a Category III version of A Chinese Ghost Story?"

~Chapter Six: A Riot of Beauties, Section Four~

The alluring women on the red carpet danced with increasingly obscene and outrageous movements.

The four women in yellow dresses even gradually shed their garments as they danced, revealing four naked, white bodies. Surrounded by twelve palace-dressed beauties, they intertwined like white snakes.

Red lips kissed and rubbed against each other's bodies, slender and nimble fingers kneaded and moved in and out of each other's sensitive areas. The most mysterious and alluring parts of the women's bodies were faintly visible to the Third Young Master and his companions under the dim red light.

Red lips were like fire, hesitant to speak, and the soul-stirring moans rose and fell, sometimes soft, sometimes loud

. In their eyes, which shimmered like spring water, there was either passionate abandon, innocent shyness, hesitant words, or bewitching allure. On the cold long street, on the wide and soft red carpet, twelve palace-dressed beauties dressed neatly, yet with extremely charming and lewd figures, and four naked women with exquisitely beautiful figures, created a bizarre and extremely lewd picture.

Qiao Wei's eyes widened, and he said angrily, "Too lewd! Too filthy! Too outrageous! Damn it, the world is going to the dogs, morality is collapsing!"

Uncle Li glared at him, his face full of righteous indignation, and said, "When you say such things, please wipe your drool first."

"Oh..." Qiao Wei wiped away the long drool hanging from his drool in a few quick movements, glared at Uncle Li, and said, "Hey, do you have another weapon in your crotch?"

Uncle Li shook his head, "What a joke, who would hide a weapon in their crotch?"

Qiao Wei slapped Uncle Li's erect, foot-long thing hard in his crotch, and shouted, "Then what is this?"

Uncle Li bent over in pain, clutching his manhood and groaning.

Li Xiaoye and Du Xiaoyan blushed and turned their faces away, refusing to look at the extremely lewd women. Li Xiaoye exclaimed indignantly, "Ugh, who are these women? How can they be so shameless? With so many grown men watching, how can they still have the nerve to dance like this?"

Tie Xuanxuan looked at the women without any scruples and said disdainfully, "With figures like that, they dare to show themselves to the public?" Upon

hearing this, the Third Young Master glanced at Tie Xuanxuan with a faint smile on his face. Tie Xuanxuan's almond-shaped eyes widened and she said, "What are you looking at? Haven't you seen it before?"

The Third Young Master nodded seriously, "Yes, I have seen it, I really have."

"..." Tie Xuanxuan was speechless, two red blushes rising on her face, too lazy to pay attention to the Third Young Master.

Tu Hong rubbed his hands together, his face flushed. "This...this doesn't seem very good...sigh, I mean these women, haha, hehe, but their dancing is quite good, it's just that their clothes are a bit revealing, indecent, indecent!"

The Third Young Master stroked his chin and said, "You don't have to watch, no one invited you!"

Tu Hong chuckled awkwardly, "Just watching, it's a rare opportunity!"

"This is the Bewitching Dance of the 'Bewitching Heart Sect' of the Demonic Path," Qiao Wei chuckled, "If you want to live a few more years, it's best not to watch. If you want to die from exhaustion, then keep watching. The longer you watch, the more you can have a good time with one of the beauties. If you're still strong enough, and one beauty can't drain you, you might be able to enjoy two beauties at the same time!"

"Then why can you watch?" Tu Hong asked unconvinced.

"I, Third Young Master, and Old Li have seen far more dangerous scenes than this. Plus, our skills are profound, so naturally we can watch whatever we want. Even girls are affected by this technique! Don't believe me? Look at Du Gongfu, would he dare watch this erotic dance? And look at Miss Du and Xiao Ye, did they watch? Uh... how come Miss Tie... is alright, even watching with great interest? She should be a woman..."

Tu Hong looked at Qiao Wei's sinister smile and couldn't help but shudder. He glanced at Du Gongfu and saw that he was indeed looking down at his toes, not daring to lift his head at all.

Only then did Tu Hong believe Qiao Wei's words. Before he was completely lost in the illusion, he turned around with great willpower, looked down at the puddles on the ground, and even tore two pieces of cloth from his clothes, crumpled them into balls, and stuffed them into his ears.

"Hey, you guys should save your breath!" the Third Young Master shouted at the opposite side. "Your dance is useless. Save your energy for dealing with men in bed! You're dancing so energetically, can't you see that none of us have fallen for it?" As

soon as the Third Young Master finished speaking, the twelve palace-dressed beauties suddenly formed a circle, then spread outwards, lying on their sides on the ground.

The four naked women faced the four directions, kneeling on their knees, sitting on their heels, bending forward, and stretching their arms out flat on the carpet, assuming a gesture of worship.

A whooshing sound came from the direction where the women had appeared. Four black-clad figures, completely shrouded in black robes and wearing masks of four colors—green, red, blue, and purple—flew through the air and landed lightly on four of the twelve palace-dressed beauties, each placing their feet on the buttocks of one of the beauties.

Then, another rustling sound rang out, and a woman dressed entirely in crimson, her face veiled in a red silk scarf, floated in like a willow catkin, landing gracefully on the four naked women. She elegantly and calmly sat on the back of one of them, her bare feet resting on the faces of the other two.

Upon seeing the woman in crimson, the expressions of Third Young Master, Qiao Wei, Uncle Li, and Li Xiaoye all became strange.

This woman in crimson was none other than the Nine Yin Saintess, whose enchanting magic had nearly bewitched them earlier that day!

Although they couldn't see her face clearly, her crimson attire and alluring demeanor confirmed her identity!

"Third Young Master, I never expected to meet you again so soon." The Nine Yin Saintess held a crystal flower in her hand, her voice as ethereal as smoke from her lips hidden beneath her veil. "We parted during the day, and I was too rushed to properly appreciate your charm, Third Young Master, which I deeply regret. In these few short hours, I have been thinking of your heroic figure constantly, and I have truly missed you terribly... I heard that you had appeared here, so I rushed here, eager to see you. But before I even saw you, I heard you say those words that only a true hero could utter. My heart, hehe, is truly moved by you!"

As she spoke, the Nine Yin Saintess kept throwing flirtatious glances at the Third Young Master, her body swaying like a willow in the wind, shifting her posture slightly with each word. At the end, she even gently patted her prominent chest with her small hand.

Every move of the Nine Yin Saintess possessed an irresistible allure. Even without using her charms or seductive techniques, the men present were all captivated by her, and the two girls, Li Xiaoye and Du Xiaoyan, were secretly smitten.

Of everyone present, only Tie Xuanxuan remained unmoved. She glanced at the anxious expressions on the faces of the Third Young Master and the others, and couldn't help but curl her lip, muttering, "Men are all the same, they only like these slutty little girls! Humph, I, Tie Xuanxuan, am a fine woman, I disdain learning these seductive manners, I can do it all myself..." She suddenly stopped, glancing guiltily at the Third Young Master, leaving everyone wondering what she was going to say next. Since

the Nine Yin Saintess hadn't used her charms, the Third Young Master naturally hadn't used his Asura Demon Eye to counter her, and Uncle Li, Qiao Wei, and the others hadn't deliberately used their inner energy to resist the Nine Yin Saintess's innate seductive power. The men who had fought the Nine Yin Saintess before were now seriously admiring her, and couldn't help but admire her greatly.

"Her figure is alluring, her charm innate, every gesture captivating. This woman is truly a femme fatale, a stunner of unparalleled beauty. Even the infamous bewitching Bao Si and Daji of my past life couldn't compare!" The Third Young Master secretly admired her.

"I've encountered many beauties, but only Zhen Luo can truly be called a femme fatale. Compared to this woman, Zhen Luo is a bit too naive, lacking maturity, and can't yet compare to the Nine Yin Saintess! Hehe… The Nine Yin Saintess, a woman of the Demonic Sect, I, the Third Young Master, very much hope to have you lying on my bed!"

Who was the Third Young Master? The world's number one womanizer, currently undergoing a transformation into a Casanova, and having already declared a resounding victory in his first battle against Du Xiaoyan. There was nothing the Third Young Master wouldn't dare to dream of, nothing he wouldn't dare to do, for any beautiful woman.

The Third Young Master was unaware that the Nine Yin Saintess had one of her tasks: to seduce him. If he knew, he would surely strip naked and spread-eagled on the bed, shouting, "Ah, baby, seduce me, take me..."

Straightening his soaking wet clothes, the Third Young Master bowed deeply to the Nine Yin Saintess, smiling gently, and said, "Holy Maiden, your presence is an honor! I have failed to greet you properly, please forgive me! I wonder if you have come to take my life or to save Du Gongfu's?"

The Third Young Master naturally knew that the Nine Yin Saintess had brought so many people with her, certainly not to seduce him; her purpose was most likely to kill or save someone.

"Oh, hehehe..." The Nine Yin Saintess let out a faint, ethereal laugh. Whether laughing or speaking, her voice was as ethereal as smoke, unpredictable and impossible to understand.

"Young Master, you are too kind. I value you so much, and you are the only man who can resist my temptations. How could I bear to kill you? Let alone kill you, I wouldn't even be willing to harm a single hair on your head!" The Nine Yin Saintess's eyes sparkled, her alluring gaze carrying a hint of admiration. "I have a question I would like to ask you, Young Master. I hope you can enlighten me. I would be eternally grateful."

The Young Master smiled and said, "It is my honor to serve a beautiful woman. Saintess, please ask me any questions you may have. Qin Ren will answer them to the best of his ability."

The Nine Yin Saintess laughed, "What I wish to ask is, even today, when 'Time Waits for No Man' Qiao Qitian and 'Illusion Demon True Lord' Li Guding couldn't resist my 'Alluring Dream,' how could the Third Young Master escape from the dream and break my charm with his Asura-Breaking Eyes?

"Rumors circulate that the Third Young Master of the Qin family is a womanizer, lacking ambition and integrity, his only hobby being toying with beautiful women. Although the title of the Third Young Master as the number one lecher in the martial world was deliberately fabricated, his character is not far from what is described in the rumors.

"As far as I know, 'White Lotus in Plain Clothes' Lian Zhou Luo'er, 'Poisonous Hand Purple Thorn' Qin Ni'er, 'Proud Snow Plum Blossom' Qiu Ruomei, the Snow-Covering Hall Master Ye Yingxue, and a little girl named Zhen Luo, were all obtained by the Third Young Master using drugs.

"Since the Third Young Master is such a despicable person, how could he resist my temptations and not succumb to my Alluring Dream?" "Could it be that the Third Young Master... finds me unworthy in the dream? Or is the Third Young Master's past demeanor merely an act to deceive others?"

The Nine Yin Saintess's words were too blunt, and almost everyone's gaze towards the Third Young Master changed.

Qiao Wei and Uncle Li looked at the Third Young Master with pride, arrogance, and admiration; Tu Hong's gaze was strange and complex, indescribable; Du Gongfu's was slightly mocking.

Li Xiaoye looked at the Third Young Master with utter contempt; Du Xiaoyan's eyes showed disbelief, but without a trace of regret or hesitation, it seemed she had made up her mind about the Third Young Master.

Tie Xuanxuan also looked at the Third Young Master with a strange and complex gaze, with a hint of wariness, probably thinking... "Could this kid have used a packet of sleeping pills on me too? No, I have to stay away from him in the future..."

The Third Young Master, as the person involved, showed no shame whatsoever, and said with a smile, "Saintess, you flatter me." I, Qin Ren, am indeed a lecherous and womanizing rogue, and I have certainly used many underhanded methods to deal with women.

"Heh, speaking of which, my first profession was actually a flower thief. But people in the martial world spread rumors and called me a lecherous fiend. I feel deeply ashamed of this; with my abilities, how could I possibly deserve the title of 'lecherous fiend'?

"Although I have tried my best, I am still far from that level. Of course, I will continue to strive and work hard in the future, trying not to disappoint the Holy Maiden.

"As for not being seduced by the Holy Maiden's 'dream of captivating beauty,' the reason is actually quite simple. Although I am lustful and confident in my looks, temperament, and martial arts skills, I don't believe that any woman beautiful enough to be selected for the palace and receive the Emperor's exclusive favor would willingly strip naked and throw herself into my arms upon first seeing me.

"Of course, prostitutes might do that, but what woman of that kind, unless her fate is truly tragic, would willingly sell her smiles in a brothel?"

"The Saintess's temperament is completely different from that of courtesans. Although the Saintess is naturally alluring, possessing a beauty that could topple kingdoms and a seductive charm that transcends chaos, even the finest courtesan could never learn even a fraction of the Saintess's allure.

Moreover, I, a man who considers myself a true man, how could I allow a mere woman to take the initiative in matters of pleasure? Therefore, I awoke from my daze at the last moment after falling into the Saintess's spell."

The Nine Yin Saintess, after hearing the Third Young Master's words, said sweetly, "I see. I thank you for clearing my mind, Third Young Master. Speaking of which, you truly are a dragon among men. With your Asura Demon Eye, even my alluring dream had to retreat. It seems that in the future…" She lowered her head and chuckled softly, gazing at the Third Young Master with seductive eyes, saying, "If I want to win your favor in the future, I must learn from the girls of respectable families and strive for it through my own abilities." The Third Young Master chuckled, "

Holy Maiden, please don't joke. Even before revealing your true face, you possess an alluring charm that could topple kingdoms. If you were to reveal your true nature, what man in the world could resist your allure? All the heroes of the world would be captivated by your charm. Even if you wished to become empress, it would be a piece of cake. If you were willing to enter the palace to serve the Emperor of our Great Qin Empire, you would surely receive all his favor! Wouldn't the position of Empress be rightfully yours? Although I admire you, I fear I am neither worthy nor capable of such a position. As the saying goes, 'A common man is innocent, but possessing a treasure is a crime.' If you were to truly follow me, I fear all the men in the world would come to kill me to vent their anger!" "

When the Third Young Master uttered these words, he was thinking of the infamous concubines Bao Si and Daji, who brought about the downfall of their kingdoms, and even Empress Wu Zetian. He thought maliciously, 'If you, woman, were to truly enter the palace, the Qin Empire would surely perish at your hands! If you were even more capable and had the talent to govern, hehe, perhaps you could actually become Empress! However, I, the Third Young Master, am not so pleased. If you become Empress and decree that women are superior to men, that women can have dozens of husbands, and that men can only serve one woman for their entire lives, then wouldn't I, the Third Young Master, be doomed?'"

His smile vanished, replaced by his signature lewd, sly grin: "However, if the Holy Maiden wishes to spend a night with Qin Ren, I am willing to risk my life to accompany her. But I fear the Holy Maiden is not sincere; she may say she wants to please me, but in her heart, she only wants my life." The

Nine Yin Holy Maiden laughed: "Third Young Master, you have quite the tongue!" She lowered her head and sighed softly, a sigh filled with an indescribable melancholy. Even the hard-hearted Third Young Master couldn't help but feel a stirring in his heart. "Actually, my only wish in this life is to find a man who truly loves me, not just lusts after my beauty, so that I can rely on him and spend my life with him. Beauty fades, youth is fleeting, and when I am old and faded, who will remember the color I had in my youth?"

The Third Young Master chuckled. The Nine Yin Saintess's words were full of overt seduction and covert hints, but the Third Young Master naturally didn't believe that such a good thing could exist.

"Saintess, you've come all this way on this desolate rainy night, surely not to discuss these matters with me? Saintess, please explain your purpose as soon as possible. If you wish to spend the night with me, then let's hurry to the inn and get a room! If you are indeed sleepless because of the long night and happened to run into me while out for a walk, then let's part ways here, go home, wash up, and go to bed." "If it were the Holy Maiden..." He glanced at Du Gongfu and said, "I've come here to save this beastly Du Gongfu. Hmph, then I suppose I'll have to ask the Holy Maiden for a few pointers!"

~Chapter Seven: A Chaotic Dance of Demons, Section One~

Upon hearing this, the Nine Yin Holy Maiden slowly stood up, placing herself on the smooth back of the naked woman beneath her feet.

She sighed resentfully, giving the Third Young Master a mournful look, and said softly, "Why is the Third Young Master so aggressive? It's rare for me to open up, yet you keep saying such unpleasant things..."

Upon hearing this, Tie Xuanxuan cursed, "What a shameless slut! How could my Ah Ren fall for your tricks? Get out of here and do what you're supposed to do! If you continue to shamelessly seduce men here, be careful, I'll kill you with one finger!"

The Nine Yin Holy Maiden glanced at Tie Xuanxuan and laughed, "This sister is so unreasonable. I'm seducing my own man, what business is it of yours?" "Could it be that you, sister, also have feelings for the Third Young Master... um..."

Tie Xuanxuan's pretty face flushed red, and she said with a fierce look, "Aren is my cousin, and I have a responsibility to take care of him! If Aren is seduced by you, you demonic witch, how will I, Tie Xuanxuan, ever face my uncle again?"

The Nine Yin Saintess let out a clear, light laugh, "So this sister is the daughter of 'Iron Hand' Tie Kongshan. In that case, my luck tonight is truly exceptional! Originally, I heard from my scouts that Master Du Gongfu was intercepted by the Third Young Master's men, so I brought men to help Master Du, hoping to kill Qiao Qitian and Li Guding, these two traitors of the demonic sect. I didn't expect Sister Xuanxuan to come tonight as well, which is perfect for killing two birds with one stone. I really want to take Sister Xuanxuan back to the demonic sect so that I can get to know you better!"

Li Guding sneered and said, "Girl, you have quite the nerve!" "You think you can kill me and Lao Li with just a few of you? If you want our lives, let Ximen Wudi come and take them himself!"

The Nine Yin Saintess said, "Li Guding, have you grown old and become senile? How dare you casually address the Supreme One by his name? Besides, would the Supreme One need to personally take your lives? I am no match for you, even with the Four Beauties and Twelve Charming Beauties of the Bewitching Heart Sect. But what can you do if our sect's Four Protectors of 'Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning' attack simultaneously?"

"'Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning' Four Protectors?" Li Guding's voice was somewhat hoarse. He glanced at the four men in black robes and masks who had appeared before the Nine Yin Saintess and said, "You are 'Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning'?"

These four men in black had remained silent since their arrival, each standing motionless on a woman in palace attire. After hearing Li Guding's question, the four men in black spoke one after another from left to right:

"'Wind Blade and Frost Sword' Gu Changkong."

"'Heavenly Fire Spreads' Zhao Liyuan."

"'Nine Heavens Thunder' Wu Zhenhai."

"'Lightning in the Sky' Lu Dingyuan."

After announcing their names, the four immediately fell silent, acting as if they were sparing with words and feigning incomprehensibility.

"As expected, they are the Four Protectors of the Demonic Sect!" Qiao Wei's expression turned solemn.

The Third Young Master curled his lip and said, "Are they that powerful?"

Qiao Wei said in a deep voice, "Anyone who can hold the highest position of protector in the Demonic Sect below the leader is definitely not weak. If it were a one-on-one fight, I am confident that I can kill all four of them one by one, even if they use a tag-team attack, I am not afraid. But if they attack together... If I haven't exhausted my strength, and I join forces with Lao Li, I can survive the combined attack of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning, but I will definitely lose. If you, Third Young Master, are not injured, with your current strength, the three of us can fight them to a draw. If Miss Biao is not injured either, with Tu Hong and Xiao Ye, we can easily defeat the Four Demon Envoys, but now..."

"Are we doomed to defeat now?" The Third Young Master chuckled mockingly. "What ifs? Xiaoyan is injured, Cousin has exhausted her power, you don't have much left, and even I can only muster 80% of my strength. Now, we can't even run away!"

Uncle Li said, "Third Young Master, what are you worried about? The Nine Yin Saintess didn't say she wanted to kill you. Besides, although you can only muster 80% of your strength, your lightness skill is unparalleled. You could easily escape alone with 80% of your strength. Could it be... could it be that you're going to perish with me and Old Qiao instead of running away?"

Uncle Li and Qiao Wei looked at the Third Young Master, their eyes gleaming with gratitude.

Third Young Master: "Hey, what do I care about your two old geezers' lives? I heard from the Nine Yin Saintess that she's going to kidnap my cousin. Do you think I'd let my cousin be kidnapped? If that witch succeeds, how am I supposed to survive?"

Uncle Li: "Damn it!"

Qiao Wei: "I despise you!"

The Nine Yin Saintess's voice rang out again: "Qiao Qitian, Li Guding, considering you two were once elder-level protectors of my sect, tonight you two are doomed. I don't want the 'Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning' four protectors to have the blood of their fellow disciples on their hands. You should just kill yourselves!"

Qiao Wei chuckled and said: "Bullshit! I used to roam the world freely. Even if I encountered an enemy who could kill me in one move, I never surrendered! You want me to kill myself? You'd better do a striptease first!"

Uncle Li laughed loudly, his laughter incredibly bold, seemingly with a desolate meaning, yet his voice shook the heavens! "Witch, I, Li, have always been a hero, never bowing my head, never admitting defeat! You want me to commit suicide? Fine! As long as you get intimate with our Third Young Master in the street, I, Li, will offer my head!"

Third Young Master: "Hey, hey, hey, you two old hags, don't be like this! What does this have to do with me? Damn it, if you want to take revenge on me, you shouldn't always bring this up!"

The Nine Yin Saintess giggled, her laughter shaking her body. "Qiao Qitian, Li Guding, you dare to spout nonsense even when you're about to die? Of course, I will get intimate with the Third Young Master, but that's between me and him. Why should I let you, the dying men, enjoy it in the street?"

Uncle Li: "Utterly shameless!"

Qiao Wei: "Extremely lewd!"

Third Young Master: "Hmm, well said, exactly what I wanted!"

"Holy Maiden, why waste words with these two old geezers? Let's kill them quickly, capture that girl surnamed Tie, and then we can go back to bathe and sleep." Gu Changkong, wearing a blue mask and known as "Wind Blade and Frost Sword," seemed to be longing for his warm bed and urged them on.

The Nine Yin Holy Maiden thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright. Four guardians, you deal with Qiao Qitian and Li Guding, I'll deal with Qin Ren, and the remaining few will be handled by the Four Beauties and the Twelve Charming Hairpins."

Gu Changkong nodded, "Excellent! I've long wanted to experience the 'Time Waits for No Man' of our former elder, Qiao Qitian!"

Zhao Liyuan, wearing a fiery red mask and known as "Heavenly Fire Scorching Plains," said, "I'm quite interested in Li Guding's 'Illusionary Demon Hand.'"

The four guardians of Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning floated down from the hairpins they stood on, landing on the large red carpet, and approached the Third Young Master and his group step by step.

The Nine Yin Holy Maiden also leaped to stand beside the four guardians, walking towards the Third Young Master.

The Four Beauties followed the Nine Yin Saintess naked.

Each of the Twelve Beauties carried two short, gleaming, silver swords, only two feet long, and walked behind the Four Beauties. The

Nine Yin Saintess looked at the Third Young Master and said with a charming smile, "Third Young Master, don't worry, I'm just playing with you, I won't hurt you. Don't underestimate me! Last time I had to escape because you had Qiao Qitian and Li Guding's help, and you shattered my 'Alluring Dream,' causing me internal injuries. But now, my internal injuries are completely healed, while you've suffered some. I can now fight you!"

The Third Young Master smiled and said, "That's great, I'm also very..." "I want to experience the Holy Maiden's methods!"

Turning back to the crowd, he said, "Cousin, Xiaoyan, Xiaoye, you three step aside. Brother Tu, please look after them."

Tu Hong knew he was powerless in this situation. Taking care of the three girls and ensuring the Third Young Master and the others had no worries was his greatest responsibility. He nodded and said, "Alright, Third Young Master, I will definitely take good care of the three young ladies!"

Seeing that no one had time to pay attention to him now, Du Gongfu smiled sinisterly, lightly tapped his toes, and turned to run.

Tu Hong saw it, but he didn't shout. Du Xiaoyan saw it too, but she didn't shout either, feeling a sense of relief.

No matter how beastly or wicked Du Gongfu was, he had raised her for over ten years and doted on her.

A biological mother is not as dear as a foster mother, and a biological father is not as great as a foster father. Du Xiaoyan never thought of avenging her biological parents, who were killed by Du Gongfu. After all, she still had deep feelings for Du Gongfu, but she had no feelings whatsoever for her biological parents, whom she had never met.

This is human nature, and Du Xiaoyan's mentality is not entirely wrong.

Third Young Master, Qiao Wei, and Uncle Li also saw Du Gongfu turn to flee, but with powerful enemies in front of them, they had no intention of paying attention to Du Gongfu, who was now like a stray dog.

Logically speaking, Du Gongfu should have been able to escape alive, but he still died.

A five-foot-long sword flashing with blue and purple auras, like a bolt of lightning, tore through the night sky, piercing Du Gongfu's chest, all the way to the hilt, splattering a trail of blood. The

powerful force of the sword carried Du Gongfu's body backward for ten feet, embedding it deep into the wall of a house at the corner of the long street, hanging Du Gongfu's body high on the wall.

Du Gongfu's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief and shock.

He watched helplessly as the sword pierced his chest. The sword flew towards him, its light dazzling, visible to anyone with eyes. The whistling sound of the sword cutting through the air was sharp and long, audible to anyone with ears. In this sense, it wasn't a sneak attack, but a perfectly fair strike!

But Du Gongfu had no time to react; he hadn't even had the thought of raising his axe to block before the sword was already in his chest!

Du Gongfu stared intently at the hilt of the sword before his chest, reaching out as if to pull it out, but his hand fell limply halfway down.

"Clang—" The Ghost Axe slipped from his grasp and fell to the ground; Du Gongfu finally breathed his last.

Everyone was stunned by this astonishing sword strike. The two sides, who had been locked in a standoff, stared simultaneously at Du Gongfu's corpse hanging on the wall, at the broken sword hilt in his chest.

Du Xiaoyan covered her mouth, two crystal tears welling in her eyes. She finally refrained from crying. She knew that this ending was the best and fairest for Du Gongfu.

The Third Young Master's face was also filled with shock, but then he burst into laughter.

He knew, of course, who had thrown that sword. Only one sword in the world could emit that blue-purple sword light:

the Seven Star Crescent Moon Sword!

Under heaven, only the Seven Star Crescent Moon Sword, one of the Seven Divine Weapons of the World, possessed these two colors of sword light!

The presence of the Seven Star Crescent Moon Sword signified the arrival of "Star River Sword Saint" Qin Feng!

Only Qin Feng, who had comprehended the ultimate principles of the Heavenly Dao and glimpsed the path of the Heavenly Sword, could throw such a righteous and clear-cut flying sword, one that even Du Gongfu, whose martial arts had reached the super-first-class level, could not dodge or block!

"This night is truly far from peaceful!" Accompanied by this chilling voice, the Star River Sword Saint's tall figure appeared from the end of the long street, behind the Nine Yin Saintess and the Four Protectors, among other members of the Demonic Sect.

Qin Feng walked forward step by step, his hands behind his back. Tie Jian carried a lantern beside him, followed by three hunched-over old men with their hands tucked into their sleeves, looking as if a gust of wind could knock them over.

The soft squeak of their shoes echoed in the night air, and the lantern cast a long shadow of the Star River Sword Saint. Tie Jian, originally a tall man, was completely overlooked when he walked alongside Qin Feng

. All eyes were fixed on Qin Feng. Upon seeing him, a strange feeling arose within them.

They didn't understand why they valued Qin Feng so much, ignoring the man beside him who was half a head taller.

Qin Feng now seemed utterly ordinary, utterly unremarkable. He possessed not a trace of imposing presence, yet he was undeniably captivating.

If Qin Feng had previously been like a renowned sword drawn from its sheath, now he was like a divine sword, its brilliance concealed, hidden within its sheath.

No one could discern the sword's true sharpness, nor its destructive power or terrifying lethality.

Therefore, Qin Feng's current aura was as immeasurable as the sea.

The Nine Yin Saintess had already calculated that with her current strength, she could easily defeat the Third Young Master and his group, but the sudden appearance of Qin Feng disrupted her entire plan.

Although the Nine Yin Saintess had never seen Qin Feng before, she knew the characteristics of the Seven Star Crescent Moon Sword. In fact, almost no one in the martial world was unaware of the Seven Star Crescent Moon Sword.

Moreover, Qin Feng was not alone; beside him was a man whose skill was clearly considerable, and behind him were three unidentified old men.

Those who could follow the Star River Sword Saint were certainly not ordinary people.

The situation had changed; the Third Young Master and his group, along with the Star River Sword Saint, had the Nine Yin Saintess and her companions sandwiched in a pincer movement!
~Chapter Seven: A Chaotic Dance of Demons, Section Two~

Qin Feng, Tie Jian, and the three old men stood ten feet away from the Nine Yin Saintess and her group.

Qin Feng's gaze swept over the heads of the Nine Yin Saintess and the others, landing on the Third Young Master. He said calmly

, "Ah Ren, why are you so useless? You let these good-for-nothings block your way?" The Third Young Master chuckled, "Boss, that's not fair. These experts aren't good-for-nothings! They are the Nine Yin Saintess of the Demonic Mind Sect, and the four guardians of 'Wind, Fire, Thunder, and Lightning.' I'm afraid you alone couldn't handle them all!"

Qin Feng nodded slightly, saying, "So it's a gathering of demons! I mean, with your skills, Ah Ren, you wouldn't be defeated by some nobodies."

"Boss, cousin, how did you know we were here?" The Third Young Master was completely relieved to see reinforcements arrive. The Nine Yin Saintess didn't know who the three old men behind Qin Feng were, but the Third Young Master did. "Elder Liu, Elder Nu, Elder Xiao, what brings you here too?"

"Our Ironblood Howling Sky Fortress has some influence in Dingzhou City," Tie Jian chuckled. "If our spies still don't understand the situation after such a commotion, they deserve to die."

The Nine Yin Saintess suddenly spoke up: "Young Master Qin, is this man beside you perhaps Tie Jian, the young master of Ironblood Howling Sky Fortress? And the three senior figures behind you, are they perhaps the three killing gods of Xiaoyao Manor: Liu Duanhun, Nu Hengmei, and Xiao Tianci?"

Qin Feng nodded and said, "Witch, are you going to surrender, or force me to make a move?"

The Nine Yin Saintess giggled: "Young Master Qin, you're too kind! I'm just a weak woman, how dare I associate with the Star River Sword Saint? " "Hands? But I can't let Young Master Qin capture me. I've made up my mind to follow you, Third Young Master. If anyone should capture me, it should be you, Third Young Master. Could it be that Young Master Qin also has feelings for me... Hehehehe..."

Qin Feng frowned and said to the Third Young Master, "Aren, you've already..."

The Third Young Master said decisively, "No way! She was the one who wanted to seduce me. I didn't even touch her with a finger. You can rest assured, Boss!"

He paused and whispered, "But it would be best to knock her unconscious and let me handle her..."

Young Master Qin was both amused and exasperated. He knew his brother's character perfectly well. In fact, he could be considered an accomplice when the Third Young Master first committed rape.

Since the Third Young Master had cleared his name about his relationship with the Nine Yin Saintess, the eldest young master naturally didn't need to consider the Third Young Master's feelings and show mercy to the woman. He said coldly, "The Nine Yin Saintess of the Demonic Sect, is that it? Stop stirring up trouble here. To me, Qin Feng, you're no different from a roadside stone. You'd better surrender. Once I, Qin Feng, draw my sword, there will be no survivors!"

The Nine Yin Saintess laughed, "Oh, so the young master is a man who doesn't get close to women. I wonder if he's really not interested in women, or if he accidentally cut off his manhood while practicing swordsmanship, and has lost his manhood ever since..."

"Hahaha..." "Wahahaha..." "Oh ho ho ho..." The three lawless guys, Third Young Master, Qiao Wei, and Uncle Li, burst into laughter upon hearing this, and even Tie Xuanxuan let out a loud laugh. Li Xiaoye and Du Xiaoyan wanted to laugh but dared not, so they could only turn their faces away and cover their mouths to stifle their laughter. Tu Hong didn't even dare to stifle his laughter, and could only force himself to endure it, but the muscles on his face twitched as if he were having a spasm.

Tie Jian had just let out three loud laughs when Qin Feng glared at him, and he immediately stopped himself.

"Is it funny?" Qin Feng said coldly, "Don't you think it's shameless for a woman to say such things?"

The Nine Yin Saintess, her eyes alluring, glanced at Qin Feng, her gaze like shimmering spring water. "Young Master, why are you so angry? I am a demonic woman from the Demonic Sect; being lewd and shameless is my nature!"

The Third Young Master immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Good, well said! No pretense, no affectation, just speaking the truth, I admire you! Boss, don't be shy, just knock her out. As for how to punish her for her disrespect, leave that to me!" The

Eldest Young Master Qin was incredibly frustrated. With the Third Young Master, he could never gain the slightest advantage. Why did the Third Young Master always get to enjoy the beauties, while he was always the one knocking them out and keeping watch?

Was he, the Star River Sword Saint, destined to be nothing more than an accomplice to a womanizer?

The Eldest Young Master wondered. There was a

divine will at play. Having entered the gates of the Heavenly Dao and embarked on the Heavenly Sword Path, the Eldest Young Master Qin naturally had a subtle sensitivity to the principles of fate.

Of course, he didn't yet know he could sense this mysterious thing called fate; even if he occasionally sensed it, he would only consider it his own subjective opinion. So he didn't know that his completely unintentional thought would tragically... become a reality.

Qin Feng nodded resignedly, his expression remaining ruthless: "Three killing gods, cousin, you two are responsible for intercepting the four guardians of the Demonic Sect. I'll deal with the Demonic Sect demoness, and after capturing her alive, I'll come back to help you. Third brother, can you still fight?"

The third young master shouted: "No problem, brother! After seeing you, big brother, all my strength has returned! I'm in great shape now, with the courage of ten thousand men!"

The eldest young master nodded, "Alright, you take the two who were laughing the loudest earlier to deal with the henchmen. Hmm, those four naked women running around in the street are really indecent, execute them on the spot, don't leave any survivors."

The eldest young master casually sentenced the four beauties to death, showing no mercy whatsoever.

The Third Young Master shouted, "Boss, you know I never kill women! Can't we capture them alive?" He turned and whispered to Qiao Wei and Uncle Li, "Let's knock all those girls out and then the three of us can take them back and split them."

At this moment, Tu Hong leaned in and said, "How about I join?"

The Third Young Master, Qiao Wei, and Uncle Li all said with disdain, "You scoundrels! Perverts! Morally depraved! Go away!"

Tu Hong slumped to the side, his heart filled with contempt for the three big scoundrels and perverts. "Damn it, they're just bullying me because I'm weak and can't handle their 'sexual stimulation'? But they're all knocked out, so I can do whatever I want with them. What's there to be afraid of? Sixteen beauties, plus the Nine Yin Saintess, that's seventeen in total. Can the three of you even use them all? Damn it!"

Tu Hong grumbled inwardly, while the Third Young Master, Qiao Wei, and Uncle Li rubbed their fists and slowly walked towards the beautiful slaves and seductive women with lewd smiles on their faces.

Qin Feng's eyes were fixed on the Nine Yin Saintess, his long hair suddenly stopping moving.

Tie Jian and the three killing gods slowly walked towards the four guardians of wind, fire, thunder, and lightning. Tie Jian rubbed his palms together as he walked, and his hands slowly turned as red as flames.

"Wait a minute!" Wu Zhenhai, one of the four guardians, suddenly requested a pause. "I want to say a few words. Damn it, from the beginning until now, I, Wu Zhenhai

, have only said one sentence!" "I also have something to say." Lu Dingyuan, "Lightning of the Sky," said slowly. "Shall we not fight this? Young Master Qin, you are currently without a sword. The Star River Sword Saint is famous for his sword. Without a sword, your power will be reduced by at least 50%. And we obviously won't give you a chance to get your sword."

As he spoke, Lu Dingyuan suddenly moved like a black lightning bolt, appearing at the wall where Du Gongfu's corpse was hanging. He grabbed the hilt of the Seven Stars Crescent Moon Sword and drew it.

Lu Dingyuan's movements were incredibly fast. Everyone only saw a blur before Lu Dingyuan drew his sword, and then in another blur, he was back in his original position!

Lu Dingyuan toyed with the ancient-style, seemingly dull-looking Seven Stars Crescent Moon Sword in his hand. The sword itself was devoid of color, yet constantly emitted a faint halo of blue and purple. He exclaimed, "What a divine sword! Truly worthy of being one of the Seven Divine Weapons of the World! Heh heh, you've underestimated me, haven't you? I'm known as 'Lightning of the Sky,' so my lightness skill is naturally as fast as lightning! Qin Ren, isn't your lightness skill supposed to be amazing? Why don't you judge me and you, who's stronger in lightness skill?"

The Third Young Master said seriously, "If we're only talking about speed, I'm slightly inferior to you. But when it comes to the dashing style of performing lightness skill, I'm a hundred times better than you!"

Lu Dingyuan scoffed disdainfully, saying, "What good is dashing style! Young Master Qin, now that your sword is in my hand, what are you going to do?"

A strange smile appeared on Qin Feng's lips. With a mocking smile, Qin Feng said, "Who told you that I, Qin Feng, need a sword in my hand to unleash my full power? And who told you that without a sword, my power would be reduced by at least 50%?"

Lu Dingyuan laughed wildly, "Qin Feng, you relied on the advantage of your divine sword to earn the title of 'Star River Sword Saint,' but without the sword, you are nothing! You're not convinced? Fine! I, Lu Dingyuan, also practice swordsmanship, but my swordsmanship doesn't have as many names as yours. It's simply called 'Lightning Sword'! Let me use your Crescent Moon Seven Star Sword to demonstrate the supreme power of my 'Lightning Sword'! I'll let you know what this divine sword truly means to a swordsman!"

Qin Feng coldly replied, "You want to test your swordsmanship with me? Fine, I, Qin Feng, will catch your sword barehanded! Everyone, hold your ground for now!"

Upon hearing this, the Third Young Master, Qiao Wei, and Uncle Li stopped in their tracks, and the three killing gods and Tie Jian also retreated.

Everyone around Lu Dingyuan made way, leaving enough space for the two of them to maneuver.

Qin Feng, with his hands behind his back, slowly walked towards Lu Dingyuan. Lu Dingyuan, carrying the Seven Star Crescent Moon Sword, met Qin Feng's attack.

With each step Lu Dingyuan took, his aura increased, and his inner strength rose.

Gradually, his black robe billowed as if inflated, and the hood on his head was blown open by the strong wind surrounding him, revealing a head of disheveled black hair. The black hair moved without wind, gradually standing on end, dancing wildly on his head like a group of black demons.

"Crack!" With a soft sound, the bluestone slab beneath Lu Dingyuan's feet cracked, and when he lifted his foot again, a deep footprint was imprinted on the slab.

After that, with each step Lu Dingyuan took, the footprint grew deeper and deeper, and the stone slab crumbled more and more silently. Later, when he stepped down, there was no sound at all, and the stone slab didn't break at all; not even a crack appeared, yet a deep footprint was still carved into it.

In contrast, Qin Feng seemed to have barely mustered any energy as he walked. Apart from his long hair constantly flowing, his aura didn't increase in the slightest, like someone who didn't know martial arts casually taking a stroll.

However, Qin Feng's expression was incredibly relaxed, while Lu Dingyuan, whose aura was astonishing, gradually became serious.

"Who will win?" Tu Hong leaned closer to the Third Young Master.

"My eldest brother." "Young Master." "Young Master Qin." The Third Young Master, Qiao Wei, and Uncle Li answered in unison.

With their keen eyesight, they could naturally see the difference in strength between the Young Master and Lu Dingyuan.

Lu Dingyuan had completely unleashed his aura; if an ordinary person were to face Lu Dingyuan head-on, they would probably have already been forced to vomit blood and die from this domineering aura.

Qin Shao, seemingly lacking any luck, still calmly walked towards Lu Dingyuan step by step, completely unaffected by Lu Dingyuan's aura, demonstrating that Qin Shao's strength far surpassed Lu Dingyuan's!

"Young Master's current skill... is probably already at the same level as yours and mine!" Qiao Wei said solemnly to Uncle Li. If he were to fight Lu Dingyuan one-on-one, he could only achieve the same level as Qin Feng, not by much.

At this moment, Lu Dingyuan sensed danger. He felt that Qin Feng before him was like a bottomless, calm ocean; no matter how many pebbles he threw into it, he couldn't create a ripple. But if the ocean were to spontaneously unleash a raging storm, he would be instantly shattered upon impact!

However, Lu Dingyuan had no way out; his aura had completely locked onto Qin Feng. While Qin Feng seemed to lack luck, Lu Dingyuan knew that Qin Feng had also completely locked onto him. Any hint of fear or hesitation on his face would inevitably invite Qin Feng's thunderous strike!

The distance between them was now only three zhang!

They couldn't get any closer! Lu Dingyuan's momentum had reached its peak, ready to be unleashed!

Lu Dingyuan struck. He pushed off with his right leg, and with a deafening roar, a crater five feet in diameter and two feet deep exploded where his foot struck the ground, demonstrating the immense force he had exerted!

Only with such immense force could the maximum acceleration be generated in an instant, allowing the speed to reach its peak in the shortest time!

"Swoosh—" The Seven Star Slanting Moon Sword emitted a sharp, piercing sound, transforming into a straight bolt of lightning, heading straight for the young master. The speed was indescribable; a distance of three zhang (approximately 10 meters) was like the thickness of a sheet of paper at such speed—it couldn't even be called a distance!

Just as Lu Dingyuan's foot pushed off the ground, Qin Feng also moved.

Without any prior preparation, Qin Feng's energy erupted completely the moment he moved. His body radiated a golden light, the kind only found in divine weapons, and he instantly became like a blazing sun!

He sprang forward, his right index and middle fingers joined together in a halberd-like gesture, his elbow retracting and thrusting out. The two fingers pierced the air with a sound unlike any other weapon in the mortal realm, and his entire being seemed to transform into a sword…

not just seemingly, but to everyone watching, he had become a giant sword! The giant sword, with his fingertips as its tip, his arms and torso as its blade, and his legs as its hilt, shot through the air towards Lu Dingyuan!

Such a magnificent sword strike—no words could adequately describe it!

This sword was truly a celestial sword!

"Clang—" The swords clashed, producing a clear and resonant booming sound.

To all the spectators, this booming sound seemed to strike directly into their minds; their hearts pounded, their blood nearly boiled, and their faces flushed crimson.

Even the heavens and earth trembled slightly at the sound, and all bodies shook with it.

The weakest among them, Li Xiaoye and Du Xiaoyan, were thrown off balance and fell to the ground. The twelve beauties of the Demonic Sect also rolled on the ground, barely managing to stand.

Suddenly, a hailstorm descended from the sky, which had long since stopped raining. The hailstorm came and went quickly, ceasing abruptly after the echoing boom faded, as if the heavens were witnessing the birth of a celestial sword, unique in both heaven and earth.

The celestial sword's light flashed and disappeared in an instant; the light of the Seven Stars Crescent Moon Sword grazed past the celestial sword's light, and Qin Feng also brushed past Lu Dingyuan.

The two quickly switched positions. Qin Feng stood at the point where Lu Dingyuan had exerted force to push off the ground, his foot landing on the deep crater created by Lu Dingyuan's push, while Lu Dingyuan stood at the point where Qin Feng had just begun his attack.

The two stood back to back, Qin Feng with his hands behind his back, his posture relaxed, the long, windless breeze now still.

Lu Dingyuan also stood steadily, holding his sword in one hand, the tip pointing diagonally at the ground.

"For a swordsman, the Seven Stars Crescent Moon Sword is a divine weapon that can make him famous and a legend in the martial world. But for a celestial sword, it's nothing." Qin Feng said calmly, "That's the difference between a mortal sword and a celestial sword."

Lu Dingyuan murmured, "It really is a celestial sword... This sword... doesn't belong to the mortal realm at all..." Before he finished speaking, a soft "hiss" was heard—the sound of blood spurting from Lu Dingyuan's carotid artery.

His head was then propelled high into the air by the gushing blood, and his body fell straight down, the Seven Stars Crescent Moon Sword slipping from his hand and embedding itself in the stone slab.

"Nine Yin Saintess, having seen this sword strike, do you still wish to fight?" Qin Feng turned to face the Nine Yin Saintess and asked coldly.

Before the Nine Yin Saintess could answer, a faint, ethereal voice, seemingly emanating from the deepest hell, rang out: "Young Master Qin, what kind of skill is it to bully a weak woman? I, Ximen Wudi, have been without a worthy opponent for a long time. Seeing the power of Young Master Qin's sword, I am overjoyed! The loneliest thing is to be invincible. Let me, Ximen Wudi, experience the power of Young Master Qin's Heavenly Sword!"

Before anyone else could react, the Third Young Master curled his lip and cursed, "Damn it, another one! How did saving someone cause such a commotion? Damn it, am I even going to sleep tonight?"
