Chapter 336
Severing the Azure Dragon
"She still won't come out?"
"Ah."
"What should I do?"
"Shh, let's just pretend we don't know anything, and that nothing happened."
On the road, a man and a woman rode together on a horse. They were not far from Xunyang City. The two were intimate and whispering to each other.
Upon hearing this, Zhou Sheng touched the zither case behind him and couldn't help but sigh silently.
What kind of mess is this?
Three days have passed since that awkward night. During these days, he and Yaotai Feng set off back to Xunyang. They didn't travel fast, hoping that Jinse would be willing to come out so that the three of them could see the scenery and have a heart-to-heart talk, so that they could put an end to their past grievances.
Unexpectedly, Jinse refused to come out no matter how much he and Yaotai Feng urged her.
Of course, as his own natal magic weapon, Zhou Sheng could forcibly control it to come out, but that would undoubtedly be even more awkward.
Before I knew it, I had returned to Xunyang.
When I left, it was still the height of summer, and the city was lush and green. When I returned, it was late autumn, with fallen leaves and a desolate, withered landscape.
This journey through the Funiu Mountains took nearly two months.
"I wonder how Hongxian and the others are doing now. It's been so long, I really miss them."
Zhou Sheng thought of the girl who always called him "boss," and a smile appeared on his face, along with his companions from Juxianlou and the arrogant old man.
"Others may not know, but Hongxian must miss you terribly. That girl claims to be your number one henchman. I think if you asked her to chop up the old man, she wouldn't hesitate for a second."
Yao Taifeng chuckled and teased.
"That girl is just too naughty. Who knows what outrageous things she'll do these days..."
Before the words were finished, a furious roar suddenly rang out from afar.
"Zhao! Hong! Xian!!!"
With a whoosh, a figure soared into the sky, transforming into a majestic golden eagle, moving with lightning speed.
But then an invisible wave came. Ordinary people might not be able to detect it, and would only feel a sudden tightness in their chest and difficulty breathing. But those with magical powers could clearly see a huge image of Guan Gong appear, and the Azure Dragon in his hand fiercely slashed at the golden eagle.
This is clearly Master's signature Guan Gong Dharma Image technique!
However, Zhou Sheng could sense that the person who displayed the Dharma form was not his master. The other party's aura was as blazing as fire and as domineering as thunder, and their magical power was even greater than his master's.
However, the Azure Dragon Blade struck the golden eagle with the back of its blade, clearly showing mercy despite its fury.
The sword light flashed like a waterfall, shattering the clouds.
Guan Sheng's sword intent was fierce and domineering, as if it could split the sky in two. Even though the golden eagle was incredibly fast, it could not outrun the sword light.
The golden eagle cried out in alarm. Before the blade even arrived, its fur stood on end, and it even lost a few feathers, which turned into stone dust and disappeared amidst the swirling blade energy.
"Kill the eagle! Kill the eagle!"
Knowing it could not escape, the golden eagle used its wings to protect its body, closed its eyes, and kept making accusations.
However, the expected pain did not come. When it looked up, it was stunned.
A familiar figure stood before them, effortlessly blocking the Green Dragon Crescent Blade wielded by Guan Yu with a single hand, exuding composure and a smile.
The moment it saw that person, its eyes glazed over, as if in a dream.
"What, you've only been gone for two months and you're already calling me 'boss'?"
It wasn't until that clear voice rang out that it trembled, its eyes instantly lit up, and then it transformed back to its true form.
She had her hair tied in two buns, wore a tiger-shaped outfit, had a rosy and slightly chubby face, and a pair of large, clear, and bright eyes.
"Boss!"
"Boss! Boss! Boss!" She suddenly rammed into Zhou Sheng's arms, banging her bun head against him repeatedly, making Zhou Sheng's mouth twitch.
This force shows that Xiao Hongxian's strength has improved a lot. If it were him before he set off, his chest would probably be covered in bruises by now.
"Boss, you're really back? Am I dreaming?!"
She hugged Zhou Sheng tightly, her big eyes filled with longing, just like a child who had been waiting at home for a long time and finally saw his parents return.
"It's not a dream, Little Red Thread, your eldest son is back."
Yao Taifeng smiled slightly and couldn't help but step forward to pinch Hongxian's cheek.
This scene resembled a heartwarming reunion of a family of three, and Tan Sheng, who had come from afar to dissuade them, couldn't help but smile wryly.
Click!
As golden light emanated from Zhou Sheng's palm, he squeezed hard, and the Green Dragon Crescent Blade bearing the image of Guan Yu shattered into pieces.
Sever the Azure Dragon with a single palm strike!
A surprised and doubtful voice rang out.
"Good lad, in just two months you've managed to easily break my Guan Gong Dharma Form. But I didn't use my full strength just now. Now, try this strike again?"
As soon as he finished speaking, the shattered Green Dragon Crescent Blade reformed, becoming even larger and sharper, even causing a crack to appear in the ground.
Fortunately, the area was relatively remote and there were hardly any pedestrians, which prevented a disturbance.
Even so, some people cried out that the earth was cracking and fled in panic.
A serious look appeared in Zhou Sheng's eyes. The power of this strike should not be underestimated. Even a strong person who has opened the fifth level of the physical body's secret treasure would never dare to directly confront this strike.
However, before he could make a move, he suddenly heard two sword cries in his ears.
"Danshan, let me give it a try!"
Yao Taifeng's eyes were filled with excitement and eagerness. Since her cultivation level had increased significantly, she had never encountered such a powerful opponent, and she felt a great sense of pressure.
The Wind and Thunder Swords were instantly drawn, piercing towards the Azure Dragon Blade with a thunderous roar. The sword energy was like a sea, within which a white dragon roamed, and the golden body of incense emitted brilliant light, radiating divine power.
The brilliance of this sword strike left Tan Sheng dazzled and mesmerized, feeling utterly lost.
At this moment, he suddenly realized that not only was there an insurmountable gap between him and Boss Long, but even Boss Feng was now far behind him.
This sword strike easily shattered all his pride, making him realize that his two months of hard work and progress had not only failed to close the gap, but had actually widened it further.
clang!!
The crescent blade shattered once more, but Yao Taifeng's figure flew backward like a cannonball. Her twin swords trembled, the jade hairpin that bound her hair shattered, and her long black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, fluttering in the wind. Her brows were full of heroic spirit.
A hand gently pressed on her back.
In an instant, the remaining Azure Dragon Blade Qi vanished, and Yao Tai Feng's figure gracefully descended. Once that terrifying impact entered that palm, it disappeared as if it had been thrown into the sea.
Zhou Sheng held the red thread in one hand and supported the phoenix on the jade platform with the other. He stood tall and graceful, motionless, like a pillar that stabilizes the sea.
Even the expression on his face didn't change at all.
"Senior Yu, you are a master of Yin-Yang magic, why do you want to make trouble for this junior, Hongxian?"
"It is! It is!"
Hongxian quickly chimed in, "Hongxian has the boss's protection now. If you hit me again, the boss will beat you up!"
"Wait, something seems off. Boss, I'm your senior sister, not your junior—"
Zhou Sheng covered her mouth and quietly watched the person who was performing the Guan Gong magic.
"Also, Senior Yu, could you please explain why you were able to use my master's special technique?"
