Chapter 68: Auntie Liang, Are You Even Capable?

"Bullshit, my master..."

Before Tu Qing could even speak, Gu Qing grew anxious.

She could also see that Elder Liang was at the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage; wasn't this clearly asking for a war?

But before Gu Qing could finish her sentence, Jiang Xun reached out and interrupted her.

"Senior Brother?"

Tu Qing looked at Jiang Xun and asked in confusion.

She had wanted to curse someone out just a moment ago, too.

"I accept."

Jiang Xun looked at Tu Qing and said.

"Senior Brother, don't push yourself; that Liang Ru is at the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage, you are no match for her right now."

Tu Qing said with a serious expression.

"It is fine, I accept."

Jiang Xun shook his head and took two steps forward.

"Hmph, I see you're trying to help the Baihua Sect using this method."

Yu Yan said with a cold snort.

"Am I that kind of person, Senior Sister?"

Jiang Xun smiled helplessly: "Just rest assured, I will naturally give it my all."

"She wants to kill you." Ming Ning looked at the murderous intent in Liang Ru's eyes and said to Jiang Xun.

"She cannot kill me." Jiang Xun gave Ming Ning a reassuring look and said.

"Senior Brother, are you truly certain?" Tu Qing asked via voice transmission.

She knew Jiang Xun had obtained a fortuitous encounter, and that Purgatory Fire Bead was no ordinary object; perhaps Senior Brother really could win.

Even if he couldn't win, she would definitely ensure Jiang Xun's life was preserved.

"I am certain." Jiang Xun nodded.

"Fine, I agree." Upon hearing this, Tu Qing looked directly at Yin Ningyu.

"Senior Sister." Yin Ningyu then looked at Liang Ru.

"I know." Liang Ru nodded; she knew Yin Ningyu wanted to say not to kill Jiang Xun, but her verbal agreement was one thing—whether she killed him or not when the time came, wasn't that entirely up to her?

'Even if I really do kill that brat, could you kill me for it?'

Liang Ru thought to herself, while simultaneously opening the barrier and walking out.

"Be careful, Senior Brother."

Tu Qing looked at Jiang Xun and said.

"Mm."

Jiang Xun nodded and took a few steps forward.

"You are truly courting death; what is the difference between a Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage expert dealing with you and beating a child?"

Jun Tianling also mocked in Jiang Xun's mind.

Jiang Xun waved his hand, the Liu Hong Sword appeared in his grasp, and he thought to himself: "Then help me out."

"Dream on."

Jun Tianling laughed; she didn't care whether Jiang Xun lived or died.

"Let's begin, Auntie Liang."

Jiang Xun looked at Liang Ru and smiled.

The word "Auntie" made Liang Ru's heart tremble; she widened her eyes and gritted her teeth: "Courting death!"

Having said that, Liang Ru flipped her hand and, carrying powerful internal energy, lunged at Jiang Xun in a single bound.

The speed of the Spirit Transformation Stage was indeed much faster than the Nascent Soul stage; Jiang Xun didn't even have time to unleash sword Qi and could only immediately dodge to the side.

At the same time, he raised the Liu Hong Sword to block.

Liang Ru's palm struck the Liu Hong Sword, and with her powerful internal energy, she sent Jiang Xun flying.

Jiang Xun performed a backflip in the air, landed, and braced himself with his sword on the ground.

'Good grief, if not for the Nine Heavens Reversal Robe, my internal organs would have been shattered by that palm strike.'

Jiang Xun felt this force and thought to himself.

The Nine Heavens Reversal Robe had indeed reduced Liang Ru's attack to the same level as Jiang Xun's; to him, the person in front of him was now merely at the Nascent Soul Early Stage Peak.

Combined with the Liu Hong Sword, Jiang Xun's level could even be said to be above Liang Ru's.

The advantage is mine!

Jiang Xun immediately swung his sword, and a wave of heat attacked Liang Ru.

Liang Ru had intended to use her internal energy to shatter the flames with a palm strike, but as she prepared to exert force, she felt that the flames were extraordinary and hurriedly performed a backflip to dodge.

The flames struck the ground, and a crack two meters deep appeared.

This left Liang Ru with lingering fears; it was a good thing she had dodged!

Seeing this, Liang Ru waved her hand, and from beneath her feet, several colorful flowers sprouted from the ground.

The flowers began to release poisonous mist.

"Senior Brother, be careful! This poisonous mist will make one lose their sanity!"

Tu Qing shouted hurriedly.

Jiang Xun flipped his hand, a black folding fan appeared in his palm, and with a wave, a powerful gust of wind was whipped up, blowing away all the poisonous mist.

It slammed into the Baihua Sect's Mountain Protection Array and was completely blocked.

Jiang Xun then threw out his folding fan, which spun in the air and slashed toward Liang Ru's neck.

Liang Ru immediately jumped up to dodge, but Jiang Xun had already appeared above her head, slashing down with a wave of heat.

"Lotus Body Protection."

Seeing this, Liang Ru moved the flower chain in her hand, and her entire body was enveloped by a pink lotus, which blocked Jiang Xun's attack before shattering.

Liang Ru waved her hand, and several thorns shot out from the ground, stabbing toward Jiang Xun in the air, intending to pierce his body through.

Seeing this, Crimson Wings instantly appeared behind Jiang Xun, and in the blink of an eye, he had vanished into mid-air.

"What?"

Liang Ru was stunned at the sight; Jiang Xun's figure was gone from before her eyes, and she hurriedly searched all around.

The crowd was also startled, but looking all around, Jiang Xun's figure was nowhere to be found.

Just at this moment, several flame slashes fell from high in the sky, hacking toward Liang Ru.

Seeing this, Liang Ru hurriedly dodged in a sorry state, barely avoiding three slashes, but her sleeve was severed and caught fire, nearly burning all her clothes away completely.

Before Liang Ru could react, Jiang Xun had already appeared before her, caught the returning folding fan, and fanned it fiercely.

Liang Ru flew backward, slamming heavily into the Mountain Protection Array.

Pfft!

Spitting out a mouthful of blood, Liang Ru landed on the ground, half-kneeling while clutching her chest.

This folding fan is a Saint Grade!

"How can this be! Elder Liang is at the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage, how can she possibly not be his match!" Chen Ning felt terrible seeing this.

That Jiang Xun looks like he is only at the Nascent Soul Early Stage, so how can he beat Liang Ru, who is at the Spirit Transformation Mid-Stage, until she has no power to fight back.

"His speed is too fast, that pair of wings... that pair of wings seems to be the Crimson Wings of the Demon Venerable Jun Tianling!"

Another Elder said while looking at the wings behind Jiang Xun.

"There really was Jun Tianling's cultivation technique in the Void Sect Secret Realm back then; it was taken by him!"

"Senior Sister, are you alright?" Yin Ningyu shouted, looking at Liang Ru with worry.

She had originally thought that to deal with Liang Ru, Jiang Xun would definitely bring out the Purgatory Fire Bead, and at that time, Senior Sister would only need to snatch the Purgatory Fire Bead.

But she never expected that Jiang Xun wouldn't even need to use the Purgatory Fire Bead to suppress Senior Sister Liang.

"It's nothing, I underestimated him."

Liang Ru stood up from the ground, her blood-red teeth nearly grinding to pieces.

"Auntie Liang, are you capable? I haven't even used my full strength yet."

Jiang Xun closed the folding fan with one hand and smiled as he looked at Liang Ru.

Being called "Auntie" by an old man would make anyone angry.

Liang Ru summoned her Dharma Artifact, a long sword with a green handle appeared in her hand, and then she charged at Jiang Xun, instantly appearing before him.

But now that Jiang Xun had the Crimson Wings, his speed was much faster than Liang Ru's, and the moment she slashed down with her sword, he had already appeared in mid-air.

With a wave of his hand, he closed the folding fan, and at the same time, five extended sharp arrows appeared in his left hand, stabbing into the ground and trapping Liang Ru within the Black Arrow.

Seeing this, Liang Ru added a layer of Wind Blade to her sword and slashed toward the Black Arrow, shattering it with one strike and rushing out from within.

This Heavenly Net Soul-Urging used by a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator really cannot stop a Spirit Transformation Stage cultivator.

"Auntie Liang, I don't want to play anymore."

Jiang Xun withdrew his hand, then shot straight into the clouds, the wings behind him turning black, and he dove down fiercely.

I'll smash you to death!
