Chapter 251: Admirable, Truly Admirable

"Liu'er, wait a moment!"

Pressing both hands against the young girl's back, Jiang Tong let out a sharp shout, his cultivation power pouring continuously into her body. An invisible force field enveloped the two of them.

As Jiang Tong's cultivation power drained away, a few strands of white hair actually appeared among his black locks.

This Turning Body Art does not seem simple; I fear it is not merely helping the practitioner absorb the cultivation of others, but that this posture seems intended to plunder the very essence of the practitioner's own cultivation as well.

Moreover, Jiang Tong does not care about this at all, willing to damage his own foundation to save the other party at any cost. Tsk tsk, he has fallen deeper than most; there is no saving him!

At the same time, while Shen Yu was secretly observing the other party, a hidden and massive Mental Power seemed to be secretly observing him as well.

When Shen Yu discovered it, this Mental Power vanished rapidly, as if it had never appeared at all. It was as if everything just now had merely been his own illusion.

But only he knew in his heart that it was definitely not an illusion just now; on the contrary, that momentary contact gave him a feeling like needles pricking his back. The strength of the other party was absolutely beyond imagination.

"Strike first to gain the advantage!" With a cold snort, he seized the moment they were in the midst of transferring Qi; it was the perfect time to act.

At this moment, Jiang Tong seemed to have entered a critical juncture, his face covered in sweat. And just then, Shen Yu suddenly struck—a strike that was earth-shattering and world-shaking.

Sword Qi surged and overflowed, seemingly filling every corner of the secret chamber in an instant. This sword strike came fast and fierce, swift as a shooting star, startling as a thunderclap.

In an instant, the entire secret chamber was teetering under this sword strike. It was as if even space itself were trembling, stirring up ripples.

"Who are you?" At this moment, alarm bells rang loudly in Jiang Tong's heart, and a feeling of fatal danger he had never experienced before surged into his mind.

Facing this suddenly appearing sword strike, he had an illusion that he might be shredded to pieces at any moment under this blade.

He had never felt this sensation of his entire body trembling uncontrollably. At this moment, only one thought remained in Jiang Tong's heart: "Cannot be resisted!"

"No, wait!" Following this, Jiang Tong's eye sockets tightened slightly. What he found hard to accept was that the target of this sword strike was not him, but Liu'er beside him.

Despicable! This person must have seen how much he cared for Liu'er and therefore targeted her; this is the strategy of "besieging Wei to rescue Zhao."

The other party did this just to force him to save her. And once he saved her, he would fall into their trap.

This person is not only extremely strong in Martial Arts but also completely devoid of martial ethics. Yet, Liu'er must not suffer the slightest harm; this is something he cannot accept.

However, reality did not give him much time to react; this sword strike was too fast and too urgent, so fast that he had no time to react at all, all his thoughts occurring in a split second.

Subconsciously, Jiang Tong pulled the young girl into his arms and then used his own flesh and blood to forcibly withstand this sudden sword strike.

The Sword Qi pierced through Jiang Tong's body in an instant, and his not-so-weak Protective Qi also crumbled under this Sword Qi.

The Sword Qi passed through his body and headed straight for the young girl he was protecting behind him. However, the Sword Qi seemed to have lost its momentum after passing through him, and it dissipated in mid-air before it could harm the girl.

"Pfft!" Large mouthfuls of blood sprayed out, and Jiang Tong became deathly ill in an instant. Even so, he still wanted to protect the girl; that pitiful look made one feel completely uncomfortable.

"I beg you, don't hurt Liu'er!"

Perhaps in his eyes, Shen Yu was the villain preparing to snatch away his love, likely coveting Liu'er's beauty, which is why he attacked. Little did he know, Shen Yu would avoid such a woman if he could.

"You can take my life whenever you want, but please, don't hurt her!"

"You're overthinking it; your Liu'er is someone others can't afford to handle!"

"Thank you!" With a bitter smile, Jiang Tong looked back at the girl, his face filled with indescribable tenderness.

"Liu'er!"

Struggling to touch the girl's face, it was a pity that his body was already riddled with holes from the Sword Qi, and he no longer even had the strength to lift his arm.

But even at this point, Jiang Tong's eyes were still full of love and reluctance, the intention in his heart forcibly supporting him.

Love knows no origin, yet it runs deep. He did not know when he had fallen in love with her, only that for her, he could give everything, even his own life.

"Oh, give me a break!" Shen Yu really couldn't watch this scene anymore and couldn't help but say, "He's almost dead; how much longer are you going to keep acting!"

"Hmph, where did this junior come from? That's not how you ruin a show; I haven't had enough fun yet!"

Opening her eyes, the girl in Jiang Tong's arms sat up abruptly, tossing Jiang Tong aside with disdain, her face full of contempt.

"What a piece of trash, far worse than those from before. The young people of today are truly getting worse with each generation!"

"You, you!" At this moment, although it was just one action, it was enough for Jiang Tong to understand everything: he had been played in the palm of someone else's hand.

He had encountered such a scene countless times before. Only, previously it was he who was playing with others' feelings, and now, he was the one being toyed with by someone else.

The final intention in his heart vanished, and Jiang Tong's vitality dissipated completely, yet his face was filled with bitterness.

Every drink and every bite is predestined; having used such methods to harm others before, he had ultimately fallen to the very same methods himself.

"Young Master, am I beautiful?"

Jiang Tong's death brought no ripple to the girl; instead, she looked at Shen Yu with seductive eyes. As soon as she spoke, that enchanting voice poured into his ears, seemingly inviting infinite reverie.

In an instant, there was an indescribable charm that made one's heart sway, as if it were about to steal away all his will.

However, Shen Yu's mind only wavered slightly before quickly stabilizing.

He was no longer the person he once was; whether it was the Fourteenth Layer Golden Bell Shield that could now bolster his spirit, or the Haoran Righteous Qi within him, both were enough to keep him unmoved by external things.

He was like a towering mountain, standing firm and unmoving. No matter the wind and rain, or the thousand hammerings and carvings, it was difficult to shake him even a fraction.

To make his will waver, the gap in strength between them would have to be like a chasm, crushing him with absolute power. Otherwise, it was simply impossible!

"Charm Technique! Nothing more than this!" With a light snort, Shen Yu swung his sword directly. In an instant, sword light raged, as if cleansing everything.

However, when the sword light approached the other party, a vortex seemed to appear in front of her, and the immense power generated by its rotation forcibly swallowed the Sword Qi.

Only, the other party's complexion changed noticeably, clearly not unaffected.

"Good lad, to actually be unaffected! Kid, do you know that you have angered me!"

"Wait, this is... a man's voice?" Suddenly, Shen Yu raised his head abruptly, looking at the other party with uncertainty.

The voice just now had clearly come from the other party's mouth; this was a completely different concept from the pleasant, enchanting voice before.

"Not bad, I never said I was a woman; it's just that this group of idiots was all deceived by appearances!"

"These people only care about the skin; they were willing to die for me, so who can they blame!"

"You, what you said is actually damn reasonable!" Although he wanted to refute it, he had to admit that what the other party said made a lot of sense. But at this, even Shen Yu felt a bit of a chill.

Thinking of someone like Jiang Tong, who had been flirting and pouring out his heart to a man all this time—the thought of this scene made one's hair stand on end.

Old man, you are truly impressive; this operation is not just ordinary sleaze, I admire you, I admire you to no end!
