You just ambush me without even giving me a chance to call ‘Dad’!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This was the first thought that crossed Xiao Yu’s mind as the flying sword drew near.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t surprising that Po Yue Sanren Zhou Lang was so uncouth.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was a Sword Immortal—how could he possibly roar and charge at her for close combat?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Releasing a flying sword to kill from afar was precisely what a “Sword Immortal” did best.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In fact, Zhou Lang had found her so quickly because of her directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had killed Kong Zan!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>When the master of the Flag Gate Escape died, the Flag Gate Escape Array wouldn’t vanish immediately—but it would cease gathering celestial qi, no longer twisting the senses and spirit of those within according to Kong Zan’s will... Hmm, Zhou Lang also wanted the Bone-Changing Elixir, so Kong Zan naturally had to sabotage him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once Kong Zan died, Zhou Lang immediately locked onto the battlefield nearby.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Within the Flag Gate Escape Array, thick mist stretched endlessly, making details unclear—only a faint, small silhouette could be glimpsed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Upon sensing Kong Zan’s death, he was naturally shocked and puzzled—but his battle experience wouldn’t let him stand there frozen.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if his vision and perception were blurred, he had to strike first—ideally, slay her with one sword!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh!” His flying sword slashed through empty air, only scattering sword qi that stirred the surrounding mist.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Missing with one strike didn’t disappoint Zhou Lang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A warrior capable of turning the tables and killing Kong Zan within the Flag Gate Escape Array wouldn’t be so easily slain by a single sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was merely astonished and puzzled—after striking, he had lost all trace of his opponent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without a target, he couldn’t execute any follow-up sword techniques.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Could the one who killed Kong Zan also master the Flag Gate Escape Technique?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, he raised his guard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Wum wum wum~~” Two eight-inch short swords flew from his back sword case, emitting a faint blue glow like two small blue fish, circling him ceaselessly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Simultaneously, he focused his spiritual sense into his eyes and slowly moved his steps toward Kong Zan’s corpse, scanning all directions with wary eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Huh!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He saw the slender silhouette again—still indistinct, on his left, seven or eight zhang away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Swoosh~~ Dang~~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time his flying sword struck something solid, sparks flickering faintly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was another sword—his opponent had blocked his flying sword with one.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Interesting—you’re a swordsman who has cultivated Sword Intent.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lang smiled faintly; his distant flying sword gracefully lifted, then stabbed diagonally like a gazelle’s horn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t seen the swordsman, but from the clash of blades, he sensed divine intent within the opponent’s sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He even recognized that intent—the Tiger Soul Seven Kill of the Yingxiang Guan family.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Who among the Guan family’s prodigies had mastered the ferocious tiger intent and transformed knife techniques into sword techniques?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lang frowned slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His second strike missed again—and somehow, the opponent vanished from his vision and perception once more.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kong Zan, are you still there?” he whispered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though the headless corpse nearby was barely visible, he knew Kong Zan had been taught esoteric arts since childhood by a mountain immortal—long ago cultivated his Yin Spirit. Even after death, the Yin Spirit could linger for a time, even possess and reincarnate.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Again...”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He received no response from Kong Zan’s Yin Spirit, yet again glimpsed the slender silhouette—this time on his right, still seven or eight zhang away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Shhh~~” This time, he didn’t just slash or thrust—he unleashed a full sword technique.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Clear Sky Thunderclap!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if a thunderclap had split a clear sky.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sword blade flashed with blue-purple lightning, breaking the sound barrier, carrying a rumbling “thunder sound.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Dang~~~~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The slender silhouette didn’t dodge—instead, a long, piercing clang of metal on metal rang out from eight zhang away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The sound waves made the surrounding mist ripple slightly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent sword technique!” Zhou Lang blurted out.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His “Clear Sky Thunderclap” carried the force of a thousand jin—enough to snap an iron pillar as thick as a bowl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If the opponent had merely met it with brute force, he’d have praised their strength or their treasure sword.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But the slender silhouette had used the “Seven Kill Sword Intent” to neutralize the thunderous momentum of his “Clear Sky Thunderclap.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The thunderous momentum was partially nullified; the thousand-jin force was reduced by seven or eight tenths.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Cough cough~~~” A ragged cough came from the other side.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lang’s admiration turned to surprise—the voice belonged to a young girl.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who are you? Show yourself! Or my next strike will directly—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He threatened sharply, but his words choked off—the young girl rolled sideways and vanished again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Damn it! Kong Zan, even if you’re already a dead ghost, get out here!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lang had every reason to be furious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Without the Flag Gate Escape Array muddling his senses and spirit, he’d have already slashed her into pieces with a few swift strikes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>After a few exchanges, Zhou Lang had roughly gauged Xiao Yu’s true strength—she was a super-talent who had cultivated powerful Sword Intent, but not the mighty Human Immortal he’d originally suspected.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hmm, he’d assumed anyone who could kill Kong Zan within the Flag Gate Escape Array must have immense spiritual power, formidable abilities, and a realm no lower than his own.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Stop calling. You just praised my sword art—can’t you guess what happened to the Flag Hunter Immortal?” Xiao Yu’s laughter came from behind Zhou Lang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Flag Hunter Immortal was a good man!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even after death and soul annihilation, he’d left behind the Flag Gate Escape Array, granting her the positional advantage in this Flying Immortal Crossing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She couldn’t control the Flag Gate Escape Array, nor did she know how to fully dismantle it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But during the Purple Mansion’s analysis of “Kong Zan’s Killing Method,” it had uncovered several minor flaws in the Flag Gate Escape Array, giving her a basic understanding of it—enough to stabilize her sense of direction and spatial awareness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That’s how the Flag Hunter Immortal had died—so bitterly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He’d believed he could still manipulate Xiao Yu’s senses, making her unable to pinpoint his location—even if she guessed his position from knife techniques, she couldn’t lock onto him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now that Kong Zan was dead and the Flag Gate Escape Array had lost its master, its flaws and gaps were even more obvious. Xiao Yu’s understanding of those flaws had become experiential wisdom—unaffected by the death of her “temporary father.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she used the Flag Gate Escape Array to guerrilla warfare against Po Yue Sanren Zhou Lang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re testing my flying sword techniques? Even after luckily killing Kong Zan, you still want to kill me?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lang turned, sneering at the slender silhouette seven or eight zhang away.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What benefit is there in killing you? What benefit in killing Kong Zan? Isn’t it just greed for treasure? The Bone-Changing Elixir is already inside me—you still chase me relentlessly.” Xiao Yu sighed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So that’s it!” Zhou Lang suddenly understood. “You have a divine skill that enhances sword art—so you killed the Shu Kingdom cavalry in the wine cellar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Then you swallowed the Bone-Changing Elixir, and your sword Dao reached perfection.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though your martial realm is low, your method of killing through divine skill is extremely lethal.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Zan was too eager and careless—he fell into the ditch.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Now that we’ve cleared this up, will you kindly spare me?” Xiao Yu asked.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lang stared at her, speaking softly: “If I’m not mistaken, you haven’t even cultivated internal qi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu said: “So?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“So, you absolutely cannot withstand my ‘Po Yue Wu Liang’—a technique that crushes with overwhelming force!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lang’s lips curled; elegantly, he extended a finger and pointed forward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With no internal qi at all, he’d crush her with vast true qi—how could she resist? What could she use to resist?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom boom boom!!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A surging torrent of true qi poured into his flying sword, which then drew in surrounding celestial qi. Vast amounts of qi and sword energy merged, forming a vast, rolling emerald-green “lake of sword qi” that rolled toward Xiao Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You’re right—but can you guarantee your ‘Po Yue Tao Tao’ will definitely hit its target? No matter how sharp the sword qi, if it misses, it’s nothing.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu smiled lightly, stepping calmly one pace left—and vanished from Zhou Lang’s vision, also from the range of the sword qi lake.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom boom boom!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was as if massive steel plates, the size of doors, rained down continuously from a thousand meters above—the impact sounds themselves carried weight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Excellent ‘Po Yue Wu Liang’—I’ve learned much.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu’s voice came from the other side—she was panting, spitting out a mouthful of blood.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She hadn’t fully evaded “Po Yue Tao Tao.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not because she couldn’t—but because she deliberately grazed its edge, to carefully sense Zhou Lang’s sword qi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>To gather data for the Purple Mansion’s next analysis: “Method of Killing Zhou Lang.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Purple Mansion could deduce “Kong Zan’s Killing Method” in mere words—not only because her analytical ability had strengthened after swallowing the Bone-Changing Elixir, but also because Xiao Yu had wandered within the Flag Gate Escape Array for a long time, observing and sensing extensively.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Her perceptions and research were the most direct data sources for the Purple Mansion’s deductions.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Directly experiencing Xiang Huchen’s Thousand-Li Divine Sight, the Purple Mansion’s deduction speed surged; her prolonged study within the Flag Gate Escape Array, combined with Duan Laoshu’s guidance on “Ghost Path Orientation,” allowed the Purple Mansion to rapidly identify the Flag Gate Escape Array’s flaws once Kong Zan triggered “Great Destroy Dad.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu had already tested Zhou Lang’s flying sword techniques, sword intent, and true qi—gathering abundant firsthand insights.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now she only needed to shout “Dad” to activate Great Destroy Dad.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“But this situation... isn’t suitable for shouting.” Xiao Yu hesitated.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn’t that her morals were too high to say it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She wasn’t clearly at a disadvantage; her inexplicable actions only made Zhou Lang wary.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kong Zan~~ Zhou Lang~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A sweet, seductive call came from the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>——Another immortal had come looking; by the voice, it must be “Wind Immortal” Feng Niangzi.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu shrank back, hiding her presence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh~~~” Within just a few breaths, strong winds filled the courtyard behind Yunlai Inn.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feng Niangzi, I’m here,” Zhou Lang called back toward the north.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Zhou Lang, where is Kong Zan? Why has the Flag Gate Escape Array suddenly stopped?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Niangzi did not land rashly; her voice came from at least thirty feet above ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Can’t you guess?” Zhou Lang sighed. “He’s dead. Even his yin spirit seems to have been obliterated.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What? Kong Zan is truly dead?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The soft seduction in Feng Niangzi’s voice vanished, replaced entirely by shock.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Who could kill Kong Zan inside the Flag Gate Escape Array? Could it be a hidden Qin immortal? Has the dog Qing Song not left—he’s hiding in the back mountain?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Don’t scare yourself,” Zhou Lang said. “It wasn’t an immortal. Just a little yellow-haired girl—she hasn’t even cultivated internal qi.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Niangzi cried in disbelief, “What joke is this? A yellow-haired girl with no internal qi killed Kong Zan?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lang replied coolly, “She possesses a great sword technique, and she swallowed the Ninefold Bone-Transformation Pill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Feng Niangzi remained doubtful. “Though great techniques often let one cross realms to slay stronger foes, to have no internal qi at all... No wonder when you heard the Ninefold Bone-Transformation Pill had appeared, even Marquis Lieyang didn’t care.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The last words carried both realization, resentment, and regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She had always known the Ninefold Bone-Transformation Pill was a divine elixir, but its power—allowing a yellow-haired girl to slay an immortal—still stunned her.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If only she had received word sooner and obtained that divine pill...\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhou Lang fell silent for a moment, then said, “The girl is still nearby. Help me find her.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Never mind avenging Kong Zan or defending the dignity of the Eight Immortals of the West—empty words.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She herself is invaluable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The divine elixir had only just entered her belly less than half a quarter-hour ago.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Drain her essence and blood, and you’ll gain at least one-tenth the effect of a complete Bone-Transformation Pill.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“One-tenth is still good, but I have no innate great technique...” Feng Niangzi was tempted, yet hesitant. “Besides, my wind sack can’t disperse the thick fog inside the Flag Gate Escape Array—Dou Jun is still waiting—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sssss~ sssss~ sssss~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Suddenly, a piercing shriek, like a rocket tearing through the sky, came from afar.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xiao Yu regained her senses and saw a crimson “rocket,” as thick as a bowl’s mouth and five feet long, streaking through the hazy white mist, arriving above the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It moved too fast; only when it exploded overhead did the thunderous sonic boom echo like a roaring dragon.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Boom~~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Ah—”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A brief, almost imperceptible scream pierced the firelight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Crackling, crackling~~”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A flurry of small fragments rained down densely.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A embroidered slipper, half a clean, delicate foot, landed precisely before Xiao Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Feng Niangzi!” Zhou Lang cried out, shocked and furious.\u003C\u002Fp>",2185,"2026-06-20T00:29:13.334Z",1,"Qwen3-Next 80B","d471ea1ad435eccc2fbd7cefa16a4f8df3ea8165142f6eccf1a8fbbd3459a13a","if-you-will-not-reject-me-i-wish-to-bow-and-take-chapter-63","if-you-will-not-reject-me-i-wish-to-bow-and-take-chapter-61",840,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fif-you-will-not-reject-me-i-wish-to-bow-and-take-cover.jpg"]
