Chapter 152: Breaking Free and the Divine Sword

"As long as I go find him, no matter when, he will still come crawling to beg for me."

"Without me, can he even survive?"

Lin Xian'er had already appeared in the vicinity of Liujue Manor.

A confident smile was on her face.

Whether she was truly that certain.

She was indeed certain, because she knew Afei loved her to death.

"Men are like children; if you want them to be obedient, you have to give them a little sweetness to eat."

Lin Xian'er felt her heart suddenly grow a little warm.

This time she came to find Afei.

Was it because of Shangguan Jinhong's order? Or was she at the end of her rope? With no other choice?

"Regardless, he is, after all, not a very detestable person, and is even far stronger than all those other men I have encountered."

At this moment, she discovered she still loved Afei a little.

——Because the blows she had received over these past two days were truly not few.

——Because she discovered that the only person who had truly treated her well was Afei.

The more Lin Xian'er thought, the more she felt she could not give up on Afei.

Although she had betrayed Afei countless times, when she took out a mirror and looked at her own beautiful appearance, she felt full of confidence again.

However, the only trouble was that Afei lived in Liujue Manor, and wanting to see him seemed not very easy.

But Lin Xian'er still entered Liujue Manor.

It was an expert within the manor who found her and brought her in.

Because Yu Liancheng also wanted to know if Afei had completely broken free from that invisible shackle.

For a person's heart to be reborn is not very easy either.

When Lin Xian'er saw Afei, Afei was holding a bowl, slowly drinking porridge.

He drank very slowly; he wanted to chew the food bit by bit, to absorb and utilize it to the extreme.

Afei looked as if there was no difference from before he left Lin Xian'er.

But his eyes were very bright, and there was a wild aura about his body.

Lin Xian'er's soft body suddenly stiffened, and she called out in a sweet, gentle voice: "Xiaofei..."

Afei ignored her, not even raising his head to look at her once.

Lin Xian'er suddenly felt a panic wash over her, but she still walked over slowly and said softly: "Xiaofei, I have come to find you, let's go back. It was my fault before, but I promise, from now on I will definitely be devoted to you, just as you were devoted to me. No matter what you want, I can agree to it, I can follow your lead..."

This time she did not use any schemes.

This time she was telling the truth; she intended to treat him sincerely from now on.

And Afei finally turned his head to look at her, but his expression was as if he wanted to vomit.

Lin Xian'er could not help but retreat two steps: "You... do you not wish to hear the truth? Do you like me lying to you?"

Afei stared at her for a long time, then suddenly said: "I am only curious about one thing."

Lin Xian'er said: "What are you curious about?"

Afei slowly stood up and said word by word: "I am only curious how I could have ever fallen for a woman like you."

Lin Xian'er's whole body had gone cold.

This one sentence was enough to push her into a state of eternal damnation.

At this moment, the door opened.

Dressed in black and holding the Duoqing Sword, Yu Liancheng appeared and spat out one word: "Go."

Afei said: "Go where?"

Yu Liancheng said: "Repay debts, kill people."

"Good!" Afei did not say a single extra word, picked up a toy-like sword, and walked toward the door.

Lin Xian'er had already lunged over, throwing herself at his feet, grabbing his clothes, and hissed: "How can you leave, I only have you."

Afei did not look back, nor did he speak; he simply slowly took off his outermost layer of clothing and once again caught up to Yu Liancheng's pace.

This time, he had finally shaken off Lin Xian'er, shaken off the shackles on his soul.

And his footsteps had already synchronized with Yu Liancheng's, forming a peculiar "momentum."

Lin Xian'er, however, was still clutching that piece of clothing tightly, tears streaming down her face, because she knew that apart from this piece of clothing, she could never grasp anything else.

This was a very vast manor.

This manor looked no different from other wealthy manors.

But as long as one walked closer, once one stepped onto the stone stairs before the main gate, there would immediately be a kind of eerie murderous intent that made one's hair stand on end.

This was the headquarters of the Money Gang.

When Yu Liancheng and Afei appeared here.

From all directions, hundreds of people suddenly surged out.

They were dressed in yellow robes, equipped with sabers and swords, each one filled with murderous intent; these were the elites of the Money Gang, and also the first barrier set up by Shangguan Jinhong.

These people were naturally no match for Yu Liancheng and Afei.

But regardless, for Yu Liancheng to fight his way out of the encirclement, his physical strength, True Qi, and murderous intent would all be consumed, no longer at their peak, while he was waiting at ease for the exhausted enemy.

Afei stepped forward, but was stopped by Yu Liancheng.

"Let me handle it!"

Afei's sword technique is God-like in its speed and relies on thrusts as its primary move, yet it lacks variation.

If he were to fall into a group battle, he would be at a severe disadvantage.

But if it were Yu Liancheng, it would be much simpler.

"Kill!"

"Die!"

It is unknown who shouted, but this group of Money Gang experts had already drawn their blades and swords, charging forward; for a moment, killing intent swept through the air, and powerful energy permeated the space, surging and crashing down like a flood.

Clang~

The Duoqing Sword left its sheath, the sword hummed, and the air trembled with continuous vibrations; Yu Liancheng pointed his sword tip forward, and in an instant, a sharp and murderous aura dissipated in all directions.

The group of experts charging at the very front felt as if they were in a frozen world of ice and snow, with a bone-chilling cold rising from the depths of their hearts, each of them filled with fear, yet the experts behind them noticed nothing, still howling and swarming forward, forcing them to keep moving.

Yu Liancheng thrust his sword out.

This sword strike was ethereal and unfixed, as if it were a wisp of a breeze.

And the next moment, the radiance of a single sword turned cold, and layers of Sword Qi filled the void.

As Yu Liancheng flicked his wrist, that ethereal breeze transformed into a gale sweeping across the sky, and Sword Qi shot out in all directions; screams rang out one after another as the fifty or so people in the lead were struck by the Sword Qi and fell backward.

——Unfixed.

Yu Liancheng was still unsatisfied, shaking his head as he said, "It is a pity that the momentum of this sword strike was unleashed before it reached its peak; otherwise, I would not have needed to strike a second or third time..."

Immediately following this, he struck out with another sword, and screams rang out...

In reality, Yu Liancheng only struck twice.

When the first sword was struck, the remaining people had already been terrified out of their wits and fled in all directions.

And when the second sword was struck, under the shroud of Sword Qi, it only killed twenty or so people.

As for a third sword, Yu Liancheng truly did not want to waste his True Qi on these lackeys, so he let them flee.

"Let's go, we should head inside."

The Duoqing Sword was not stained with a single drop of blood; Yu Liancheng sheathed his sword and walked with long strides toward the manor.

Afei looked at the corpses covering the ground, his mind suddenly becoming a bit dazed.

What kind of sword technique was this, exactly?

To what realm had this person's martial arts truly reached?

For an expert like him, does he really need my help?

"What are you staring blankly for? Follow me."

Afei finally came back to his senses, followed in Yu Liancheng's footsteps, and stepped into the Money Gang headquarters.
