King of Hundred Victories Saber

The north wind swept over the bluestone alleys with fragmented snow, Shi Feiyang’s dark cloak flapping loudly, his alabaster face covered with a layer of frost.

The Cold Jade Sword in the young girl’s hand shimmered with a blue hue, its tip trembling as though it wanted to pierce the air, but it emitted a clear chime upon touching the opponent’s casually wielded shield of energy.

”The young lady’s Kunlun ’Cold Jade Break Cloud’ is indeed a true replication,” Shi Feiyang flicked the snow off his shoulder with his fingers, the dragon-patterned knife sheath glinting faintly in the morning light, ”but hastily wielding a sword at someone, do you take my Heroic Sakura Association for a mere decoration?”

His words were calm, yet the end carried a chill sharp as a blade cutting through ice.

The young girl’s expression slightly changed, her wrist making a gentle sound of silver bells as she withdrew her sword: ”I am Xue Li, only searching for someone.”

Before her voice faded, three shadowy figures swooped down from the eaves like night owls, crimson chains tearing through the air, the hook ends glinting with dark red rust—shockingly, it was the ”Blood Soul Lock” that sent chills through Jianghu!

Shi Feiyang turned, his cloak whipping up a snow curtain, the Celestial Frost Blade yet to be unsheathed, the force from his palm already causing the chains to snap inch by inch.

Amid the scattering iron fragments, Xie Wen vanished into the alleys like a wisp of smoke, heading straight for the Cao Bang Headquarters.

Xie Wen had not a worry about Shi Feiyang’s safety, for he knew Shi Feiyang’s martial arts were unparalleled. Thus, after watching for a moment from nearby, he executed the ”Feixu Qingyan Technique,” swiftly merging into the air like smoke, flying towards the Huqiu Sword Pool Jiangnan Cao Bang Headquarters, where Gang Leader Qi Meizhen handled affairs.

It was also the place where Jin Liufu, the ”Water Dragon,” Gongsun Ren, the ”Centipede,” Yang Feng, the ”Cyan-faced Beast,” and other heroes accompanied Qi Meizhen.

Xie Wen dearly missed Jin Liufu and other brothers, and also needed to report to Qi Meizhen.

Xue Li looked in the direction where Xie Wen disappeared, her grip on the sword tightening unconsciously, yet she heard Shi Feiyang’s deep voice say, ”Since you are a comrade, you should be honest. What is the relationship between the Cold Jade Sword and Kunlun’s ’Snow Soul Swordsmanship’ with the person you mention?”

”My master...” Xue Li’s words were interrupted by an eerie laugh from the shadows.

Three shadowy figures approached over the snow, the leading one wielding a short blade emitting a green glow, precisely the Miaojiang Five Poison Sect’s long-lost ”Bone-Eroding Soul-Seeking Needle”.

Shi Feiyang’s pupils suddenly contracted, the Celestial Frost Blade sang as it was drawn, the knife light like the Milky Way reversed, instantly splitting the venomous mist open by three meters!

”What a fine move ’The Angry Sea and Furious Waves’!” The left shadow chuckled grotesquely, suddenly flicking out twelve Bone-Piercing Nails from its sleeve, the nails engraved with Sanskrit charms.

Xue Li’s Jade Sword spun rapidly, unleashing Kunlun’s ”Snow Shadow Splitting Light Sword,” seven sword shadows fluttering like pear blossoms, shaking off all the hidden weapons.

Yet the right shadow seized the chance to close in, iron claws aiming straight for her back!

Shi Feiyang shouted loudly, the knife taking the sideline road with the supreme technique ”Heaven and Earth Together as One” from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique. The knife’s edge was not yet reached when the air waves shattered the iron claws into dust. Amid the blood splashes, he pointed his toes and flipped onto the roof, the Celestial Frost Blade drawing out a half-moon cold light, slicing down the entire eave!

Amongst the flying debris, the three assassins had already formed the Three Talents Array, short blades, chains, and iron claws weaving into a web of death.

”Be careful! They are the Netherworld Guard of the White Bone Sect!” Xue Li’s Jade Sword flared blue, unleashing the forbidden technique ”Snow Soul Heaven-Burning Technique.”

In an instant, the area within ten meters turned into an icy hell, the ground crystallizing into spiderweb-like icy patterns.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang’s knife stance suddenly changed, merging with her Sword Qi to form a dazzling wheel of light.

Where knives and sword shadows intertwined, the screams of the Netherworld Guard mixed with the sound of bones cracking, splashing into blood-red plum blossoms on the snow.

The north wind swept over the gray tiles of Suzhou, Shi Feiyang’s dark cloak flapping loudly, the dragon patterns on his waist Celestial Frost Blade glinting coldly in the cloudy sky.

He stared at the shadowy figures faintly visible at the entrance of the alley, his voice as chill as the thousand-year Profound Ice atop Helan Mountain: ”Young lady, do you know what ghastly specters these haunting shadows belong to?”

Xue Li’s white gown was lifted by the wind, her fingertips gripping the Cold Jade Sword had already bled.

She gazed at Shi Feiyang’s silhouette, tall and straight as a pine, recalling the blood-colored skeleton mark glimpsed outside the inn window yesterday, sending a shiver through her heart: ”I discovered only yesterday, they bear the markings of the White Bone Sect’s...”

Her words were cut off by a night-owl-like eerie laugh from the shadows, as three more figures charged over the snow, the force of the wind turning the remaining snow on the ground into ice crystals. Shi Feiyang suddenly rose with a jade-colored aura, a sign of the Bright Jade Technique being pushed to its peak.

He lightly tapped the knife sheath with his fingertips, the dragon pattern suddenly coming to life: ”The White Bone Sect has always hidden their heads and shown their tails, today they dare to romp beneath my Heroic Sakura Association’s nose. Young lady, if you trust, follow my blade’s sideline.”

Xue Li raised her Jade Sword horizontally, its blue light flowing like a suspended galaxy: ”Young Master Shi, go ahead, Kunlun’s Snow Shadow Swordsmanship naturally stands with the Celestial Frost Blade!”

Before the words were finished, the left shadow already flicked out a poisoned short blade, its green light leaving trails of phosphorus in the air—it was the long-lost ”Bone-Eroding Heart-Piercing Needle” of the Miaojiang Five Poison Sect!

Shi Feiyang did not flinch or dodge, the Celestial Frost Blade swung out with the fury of waves crashing against the shore, precisely the supreme technique ”Red Dust Slash” from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique.

The cold light surged three meters and collided with the poisoned blade, sparks flying like fireflies dancing.

The poisoned blade brushed past Shi Feiyang’s ear, the shaved blue strands instantly turned into black ash, a nauseatingly sweet scent permeated the air.

Xue Li seized the opportunity to whirl and close in on the enemy to the right, the Jade Sword drawing seven petals of cold plum shadow, precisely the ”Cold Plum Blossoming” from Kunlun’s Snow Shadow Swordsmanship.

The sword tip not yet reached, already aiming at the opponent’s ”Dan Zhong,” ”Shen Que,” and other seven major acupoints.

The man sneered, the iron claws’ reverse spikes glowing darkly black, precisely the Netherworld Ghost Claw from the White Bone Sect’s Netherworld Guard!

The Jade Sword collided with the iron claws, sparks bursting like blood beads falling, Xue Li borrowed force to fly backward, spinning out two icy scars in the air, landing with a light toe press, leaving no trace in the snow.
