Chapter 60
Xiao Xi, take care of them!
Xu Xian looked around.
One Golden Body Realm cultivator, and two Bone Tempering Realm cultivators.
On his side, he and Yang Xu, one focused on opening the meridians and the other on body tempering. They could barely open the meridians, but it was of little use.
There's also Ouyang, but she just called the fake Mo "Master," so it's obvious which side she's on.
He held the eight-sided sword horizontally in front of him, and suddenly laughed.
"One in Golden Body, two in Bone Tempering... I never expected we'd receive such treatment. Old Yang, aren't you honored?"
Yang Xu gritted his teeth and gripped the knife tightly.
"You're about to die and you're still making jokes, you're something else."
"Even a lion uses its full strength to hunt a rabbit..."
Jia Mo smiled slightly.
"Xu Xiaoqi has incredible luck, escaping death countless times. He killed jailers in the Iron Gate Prison, three cultivators at the Meridian Opening Realm in the Green Wolf Forest, three people at a pastry shop in the capital, captured a Gu Master alive in the dye shop, and fought two cultivators at the Sima Mansion all by himself. How dare we not do our best?"
As he spoke, he looked at Wang Yanni, "Commander Wang, aren't you going to hand over the work yet?"
Wang Yanni took a deep breath, raised her knife and slashed. Before the knife even arrived, the wind from it had already caused the dirt road beneath Yang Xu's feet to sink a layer.
Yang Xu gripped the knife with both hands and parried upwards. The two blades met, and Yang Xu's knife broke in two.
The broken blade spun and flew out, embedding itself in the muddy ground by the lake. Yang Xu was thrown backward and crashed to the ground, his back shattering a weathered lake rock. He groaned, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth.
He struggled to get up, looked up and shouted at Xu Xian.
"His knife is at least 20% heavier than the one he used at the Sima residence last time. He definitely held back at the Sima residence!"
Wang Yanni didn't look at him. She walked step by step toward Xu Xian with her long sword and slashed at him.
Hua Xi, who was not far away, looked at Xu Xian and then at Wang Yanni, blinked, and muttered softly, "He won't die."
Xu Xian gripped the eight-sided sword with both hands and parried horizontally.
Wang Yanni cleaved the sword with a force as heavy as a mountain.
Xu Xian's tiger's mouth burst open, and the Eight-Sided Sword was shaken out of his hand, flying through the air and tumbling several times before sticking into the mud ten steps away.
The back of the knife struck his chest, and a crisp cracking sound came from his chest.
Xu was sent flying and crashed into an old locust tree. He coughed up a mouthful of blood, slid down the trunk, and sat down with his chest covered in red spots.
Just then, the system's voice sounded in his mind.
"Dragon Elephant Prajna Technique breaks through to the sixth level, and body tempering simultaneously reaches the seventh level..."
"The Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms have broken through to the fifth level, unlocking the Hidden Dragon Technique..."
"My Yi Jin Jing cultivation has broken through the fourth level and entered the mid-stage. My cultivation progress has doubled, and my daily cultivation progress has increased to 1000 points..."
"Your Yi Jin Jing cultivation progress has broken through the fifth level and entered the mid-stage. The cultivation progress has doubled, and the daily cultivation progress has increased to 1500 points..."
"The Holy Spirit Sword Technique has broken through to the fourth level, unlocking Sword Four - 'Silent Sword Strike'."
"Holy Spirit Sword Technique breaks through to the fifth level, unlocking Sword Five..."
Hearing the incessant ringing of the alarm clock, Xu Xian clutched his chest and leaned against a tree trunk, coughing up blood. His head was buzzing, and he didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
"Holy crap! That one slash almost severed my meridians! You're something else, Jenny!"
Wang Yanni walked towards him, knife in hand.
Yang Xu struggled to get up from the ground and bumped into Wang Yanni from the side. Wang Yanni kicked him in the chest, sending him flying backward and crashing onto the gravel ground eight feet away. He lay on the ground, grimacing and spitting out a mouthful of blood.
He tried to get up again by supporting himself on his elbows, but his arms gave way and he collapsed again.
Wang Yanni stood in front of Xu Xian, looking down at the young man leaning against the tree trunk with blood at the corner of his mouth. Her expression was complicated as she slowly raised the knife in her hand.
Xu Xian leaned against the tree, looking up at the falling knife, and suddenly smiled slightly.
"Xiao Xi, take care of them!"
Sitting on Xu Xian's horse, Hua Xi, who had been unnoticed until now, jumped off, dusted off her skirt, and nodded seriously.
"Okay, brother, even if you didn't say it, I already felt like you were about to die."
Wang Yanni was stunned and confused when she suddenly felt a chill down her spine. The knife stopped in mid-air. Before she could turn around, Hua Xi had already leaped into the air.
Her small figure cast a blur in the sunset. She slapped out with her right hand, and a golden light shone brightly from her hand, enveloping her small hand in a thick, almost tangible golden shield.
Wang Yanni suddenly turned around and slashed with her sword. The blade collided with the golden palm, and the long sword shattered inch by inch from the tip. The fragments spun and flew out, embedding themselves in tree trunks, lake water, among pebbles, and inside his body.
That palm strike pierced through the broken knife and landed squarely in his chest.
Wang Yanni's eyes widened suddenly as she flew backward and crashed to the ground, covered in blood with a deep palm print on her chest. She opened her mouth but made no sound, and the light in her eyes gradually dimmed.
Fake Mo's expression suddenly changed.
He immediately reached into his waistband and drew a thin, narrow sword, which was completely invisible when hidden in his belt.
The butcher was also startled, and at the same time, he raised his butcher knife from the other side and slashed at Hua Xi.
Hua Xi lightly touched the tip of the slender sword with her right index finger, and a wave of energy exploded from her fingertip, with golden light spreading outward like ripples.
Where the shockwave swept, vegetation fell, and the lake water erupted in a white wave. Ouyang Ruiming was thrown out by the shockwave, rolled several times on the grass, and landed not far from Xu Xian.
The butcher had already closed in behind Hua Xi, and the butcher's knife came crashing down on her head.
Hua Xi didn't turn her head. The golden light on her body met the blade on its own. With a crisp crack, a nick the size of a finger joint appeared on the blade of the butcher knife.
The butcher was stunned for a moment, and Hua Xi kicked him in the chest with one of her small feet.
The butcher flew out and crashed into the lake, splashing water three zhang high, turning the lake water red, and bubbling on the surface.
Fake Mo took a step back, his hand gripping the rapier as steady as a rock, his composure gone.
He stared in disbelief at the little girl who barely reached his chest.
"I didn't expect Xu Xian to have such a master as you hidden by his side. Golden Body Realm? No, you haven't even used your full strength yet. No wonder Xu Xian has always been able to escape alive. So that's how it is."
Hua Xi remained silent and struck again with her palm.
Fake Mo blocked with his sword, the thin sword colliding with the golden palm. The sword almost broke but held firm. He took a step back, his expression solemn.
Xu Xian propped himself up on the tree trunk, coughing up blood and wincing in pain.
Yang Xu lay on the ground, staring blankly at Xu Xian's sister fighting against the Golden Body Realm expert, feeling that his worldview had been greatly impacted.
A twelve or thirteen-year-old at the Golden Body Realm?! Is this world even normal?!
By the lake, Hua Xi was locked in a fierce battle with the fake Mo, the Butcher was still blowing bubbles in the lake, and Ouyang Ruiming was struggling to sit up on the grass a few steps away.
Xu Xian's eyes lit up, and he leaped towards Ouyang, stomping his right foot hard on the ground.
As soon as Ouyang sat up, he saw Xu Xian rushing towards him and instinctively raised his hand to slap him.
"A hidden dragon should not be used!"
Xu Xian met her palm strike head-on with his right hand. Their palms collided, and Ouyang's palm force was utterly shattered, sending her flying backward...
Before she even landed, Xu Xian rushed forward, grabbing her by the throat with one hand and locking her wrist with the other, lifting her up in his hand.
"Hey you...don't you care about your apprentice's life?"
One Golden Body Realm cultivator, and two Bone Tempering Realm cultivators.
On his side, he and Yang Xu, one focused on opening the meridians and the other on body tempering. They could barely open the meridians, but it was of little use.
