Chapter 36: Are You Short of Servants There?

In the world of cultivation, strength determines status.

To gain the recognition and respect of others, one must possess sufficient strength.

Yan Xiao is a newcomer, and many watch him with cold eyes, waiting for any chance to trample him.

To ensure the villagers of Majia Town can live a stable life in Luoyue City, he must have enough strength to deter those with ill intentions.

Chunfeng Pavilion is his first battle to publicly display his strength, so he must win, and he must win beautifully.

"I am giving you one last chance. Think it over carefully; not everyone has the opportunity to work with me."

Yueru suppresses the anger in her heart and speaks slowly.

As her words fall, a trace of chill emerges in the room, and the temperature drops rapidly.

This aura alone is enough to crush an ordinary person.

"Sorry, I am not someone just anyone can hire either."

Yan Xiao rubs his nose, waiting for Yueru to make her move.

"You don't know what's good for you."

Yueru lets out a cold snort; having been rejected by Yan Xiao repeatedly, she has lost her patience.

She forms hand seals, and four water walls appear in the room, trapping the two of them inside.

The water walls look calm, but they are actually extremely dangerous, containing powerful Spirit Qi fluctuations; once inside, one will be subjected to the frantic shredding of Spirit Qi.

"Below Cave Profound Peak, no one can escape this array."

Yueru smiles indifferently, as if she has already sentenced Yan Xiao to death.

She waves her jade hand, and the four water walls squeeze toward Yan Xiao; the space grows smaller and smaller, and the tearing force inside becomes more manic, like high-pressure water jets hitting his body, causing Yan Xiao's muscles to deform.

"Transform!"

Yan Xiao chants silently in his heart and uses Three-Child Possession; his control over water is far from sufficient, and it is impossible for him to escape the array on his own.

With a flash of golden light, Yan Xiao's golden body is possessed, and all sensations of squeezing and tearing vanish instantly.

No matter how strong this water array is, it cannot cause him any harm at all.

"Yueru Fairy, your array is no good. Look, I'm even fine taking a bath inside."

Yan Xiao combs through his hair, which was messed up by the water flow, and looks at Yueru outside the water wall with a grin.

Yueru does not answer, looking at Yan Xiao with a serious expression; she did not expect the Swirling Flow Extreme Killing Array to be useless against Yan Xiao.

"Damn, what is this woman thinking? Why doesn't she hurry up and let me out?"

Yan Xiao is actually quite anxious; he knows that the duration of Three-Child Possession is only 5 minutes, and if after five minutes...

He does not want to be shot to death by water jets inside; that would be too miserable.

At this moment, he is also secretly rejoicing that this woman fortunately does not know about something very fierce and sharp—water knives.

The high-pressure water knives on Earth can easily cut through metal.

With this woman's control over water, if she knew how to compress the jets, that would be terrible!

The more Yan Xiao thinks about it, the more he feels lingering fear.

"Yueru Fairy, do you really want me to take a bath here? Then I won't be polite."

As Yan Xiao speaks, he truly begins to take off his clothes, revealing his golden skin...

"Shameless."

Yueru spits out a word and turns around.

If he wanted face, he would lose his life.

"Yueru Fairy, what do you think people would think if they saw me walking out of your room naked?

Your fiancé might get jealous!"

Yan Xiao takes out Clear Men's shampoo and begins to wash his hair in a professional manner.

He redeemed this shampoo from the System Mall, costing 200 Fear Value; to show off, he is really going all out.

"This person has such powerful defense, and the array consumes a lot of True Essence. It seems I can only let him out first and join forces with Hongyi to kill him."

Yueru calculates secretly.

"Stop your shameless behavior!"

Yueru pretends to be unable to bear Yan Xiao's shameless actions, dissipates the water walls, and looks at him with uncontrollable rage.

Is washing hair considered shameless?

Yan Xiao casts a Water Ball Spell to rinse the shampoo off his head and looks at Yueru with a grin.

"If you don't have any better methods, then you might as well admit defeat."

Yan Xiao draws his Magic Sword, points it at Yueru, and prepares to launch an attack.

This room has an array, so no one outside can see what is happening.

Doesn't this block him from showing off? How can that be allowed?

Without a word, Yan Xiao slashes out, leveling the entire roof.

And so, everyone sees this scene.

A Golden Armored God with his upper body bare, pointing a sword at the fairy-like Yueru Fairy, and the Golden Armored God's hair is still dripping wet, as if he had just washed it.

What is going on?

"Yueru Fairy, I let you have three hundred rounds just now; now it's my turn to attack."

Yan Xiao glances at the onlookers; there are quite a few people, a good opportunity to show off and earn Fear Value.

Yueru frowns; when did they fight three hundred rounds? She hadn't even finished one round, had she?

But before she can retort, Yan Xiao has already launched his attack.

Red Flame Triple Slash—Blazing Heart Piercing.

Yan Xiao flew up with a sword, stabbing straight at Yueru's throat.

Just at this moment, a figure came flying rapidly from behind; it was the man in red who had been waiting for an opportunity to act.

He seized the chance and attacked with his Flying Sword; as long as Yan Xiao did not turn back to defend, he would pierce Yan Xiao's chest with one strike.

If he were to turn back to defend, he would immediately reveal a flaw, and Yueru would certainly not miss such a good assassination opportunity.

"It's over."

"This kid is done for."

"What a sharp assassination technique."

The few people watching the battle were all secretly pondering how they would respond if they encountered the same pincer attack.

It would undoubtedly be more ominous than auspicious.

"Naive."

Yan Xiao paid no heed to the red-clad man attacking him, and with the Magic Sword enchanted, he stabbed straight forward.

Yueru formed seals with both hands, a water wall defending in front of her, looking at Yan Xiao with cold eyes; this time, she would kill him with one sword strike.

"Hum!"

The small fiery red sword struck the water wall and was instantly extinguished, while the Magic Sword pierced one-third of the way into the water wall, its path similarly blocked, emitting bursts of rumbling sounds.

"He actually used a fire sword against a water formation; is there something wrong with his brain?"

"He deserves to die!"

The red-clad man behind had already arrived; the crowd seemed to have already foreseen Yan Xiao's miserable end.

The red-clad man smiled cruelly and thrust his sword out; to kill Yan Xiao, one sword was enough.

Just at this moment, a golden light suddenly lit up on Yan Xiao's body, and the hand gripping the Magic Sword exerted force abruptly; the Magic Sword instantly passed through the water wall and pierced through Yueru's abdomen.

At the same time, the red-clad man's sword also stabbed into Yan Xiao's chest, but it did not pierce the heart as everyone had imagined.

Instead, it emitted a sound of refined iron clashing, and Yan Xiao's body was knocked flying two meters, but it was still not pierced by the Flying Sword.

Yan Xiao spun a few times in the air and landed on the ground on one knee.

The red-clad man's attack power was indeed formidable, shaking his internal organs quite severely.

"Yueru!"

The red-clad man rushed to Yueru's side in a hurry, lifted her up, his hands trembling.

Yueru's dantian had been crippled, and she had already fallen into a coma.

"How is this possible?"

"He actually killed Yueru Fairy! What a bastard, he even kills women."

Among the onlookers, some were shocked, some were angry, and some were watching indifferently.

The red-clad man handed her to Xiaoqin, turned to look at the half-kneeling Yan Xiao, and the Flying Sword in his hand shot out urgently once again.

Yan Xiao gave a bitter smile; it was still because his own strength was insufficient.

Just now, he had used the last opportunity to use the Sanwa Card, which was the only reason he had blocked that fatal blow.

It had consumed 3000 Fear Value and the Sanwa Card to injure Yueru; he had to win this match.

Facing the red-clad man's attack, he did not retreat in the slightest; he could have chosen to use Earth Escape to dodge, but he did not do so.

Instead, he gripped the Magic Sword tightly, gathered his strength, and slashed toward the incoming Flying Sword.

This was a collision between power and a precious sword.

The two Flying Swords collided, vibrating out ripples of Spirit Qi that scattered like water waves; wherever the sword Qi reached, everything was shredded into fragments, dust rose, and wood chips flew everywhere.

... With a sound of a sword chime, the red-clad man's Flying Sword was severed by the Magic Sword, his body was knocked flying dozens of meters away, he spat out three mouthfuls of blood, and his life or death was unknown.

Yan Xiao forcibly swallowed the blood that was about to be spat out, dragged his long sword to the front of the crowd, and shouted loudly, "I am the Sword God Yan Xiao, who dares to fight!"

With a golden body and a Magic Sword, he looked majestic and awe-inspiring.
