King of Hundred Victories Saber

The north wind swept the shattered snow across the green tiles, Shi Feiyang’s black cloak fluttered sharply, as the faint golden swirl in his palm rotated, the snow within a three-foot radius around him seemingly evaporated into white mist. He glanced sideways at Xue Li’s pale face, his icy voice hiding a three-part pressure: ”Do you not know, Miss, that the Heroic Sakura Association only rescues those who are honest. If you keep secrets, do not blame me for standing by and watching.”

Xue Li tightly gripped the sword hilt with her fair hands, the blue light of the jade sword reflecting a shimmer in her eyes.

Suddenly, she reversed the sword point against her heart, her snow-colored dress spinning like a butterfly in the wind: ”I am truly called Xue Li! This time heading south, only to seek the ’Kunlun Jade Void Map’ that can command the Thirty-Six Caves of the Western Regions. The ’Three Envoys of the Netherworld’ from the White Bone Sect covet the key within the map and plan to use my blood for sacrificial flag paving!”

Before she finished speaking, a light cough escaped her throat, dark red blood splattered on the sword, transforming into cascading ice crystals.

Suddenly, there came the sound of tiles shattering from the eaves, and three shadows descended like night owls.

The leader was clad in black iron scale armor, three scarlet eyes on his mask eerily rotating in the morning light, as the Wolf Fang Club in his hand heavily smashed the ground, causing the bluestone slabs to crack like a spider’s web: ”What a treacherous whore! Shi Feiyang, our White Bone Sect has never interfered with your Heroic Sakura Association, do not seek your own death!” Shi Feiyang laughed upward, his laughter causing the snow to tumble down, and as the Celestial Frost Blade unsheathed, the dragon’s roar echoed along the street, the blade’s cold light harmoniously intermingling with the rising sun: ”To wield force on the territory of my Heroic Sakura Association is to be an enemy of all the world’s heroes! Heard that the White Bone Sect colludes with Bozhou rebels, today I’ll first cut off your heads, won’t need to personally go to Bozhou!”

With that, he lightly tapped his toe, exhibiting the killing move of the Hundred Victories Saber Technique ”Heaven and Earth Burial,” the blade had yet to approach but already the ground split open into a half-foot-wide chasm, where the fierce wind passed, the wooden windows along the street exploded one after another.

Xue Li only then realized that the young man before her was actually the famed Grand Squad Leader of the Heroic Sakura Association, her heart was filled with both surprise and shame.

No time for more thoughts, her jade sword spun out seven ice lotuses, unleashing the forbidden technique of the Kunlun Sect ”Snow Soul Demon Sealing Array.”

In an instant, the temperature within a ten-foot radius plummeted, quickly frosting over the weapons of the Three Envoys of the Netherworld.

However, with each sword swing, her lips seeped a trickle of fresh blood—this technique of reversing True Qi was gradually eroding her meridians bit by bit.

”Fall back!” Shi Feiyang shouted angrily, spinning to shield Xue Li in front.

The leader of the Three Envoys of the Netherworld lashed out with his Wolf Fang Club, carrying thousands of pounds of force; Shi Feiyang intercepted with his knife, only to hear a deafening blast, as stone chips flew around, the two simultaneously retreated three steps.

Shi Feiyang only felt his tiger’s mouth vibrating, the chilling energy from the palm spread swiftly along his meridians to his heart, he promptly circulated Bright Jade Technique to expel the cold.

Xue Li took the chance to toss out three Ice Soul Silver Needles, the Immortal Binding Rope tied to their tails coiled around a pursuing enemy’s neck like a Spiritual Snake.

Unexpectedly, that person sneered, ripping apart the chain, skin and flesh around the neck flipped open, revealing the stark white bone – evidently a sign of the White Bone Sect’s mastery of Corpse Demon Technique! The stench assaulted her nose, making Xue Li’s stomach churn, almost losing her balance.

Shi Feiyang wrapped his arm around her waist, employing the Lightweight Technique of ”No Stopping for a Thousand Miles” for a swift retreat.

He caught a glimpse of Xue Li’s face looking pale as paper, with her lips’ bloodstains having turned purplish-black, immediately imparting a strand of True Qi from Bright Jade Technique into her body: ”Preserving life is the utmost importance, matters of the map can be discussed later!”

The Three Envoys of the Netherworld pressed closer with each step, the leader tore open his collar, showing his chest densely covered with corpse spots, creeping slowly.

He let out a piercing screech: ”Shi Feiyang, today let you witness the White Bone Sect’s ’Ten Thousand Corpses Devour Heaven’!”

With that screech, countless ghastly white arms suddenly emerged from the ground, their nails black as iron, fingertips hanging with rotten flesh, rushing toward the two like a tide. The air was increasingly suffused with the stench, Xue Li felt her vision blacking out, almost fainting.

Shi Feiyang wore a grave expression, aware that these Three Envoys of the Netherworld were far from ordinary foes. The leader tore open his collar, the creeping corpse spots on his chest resembling live organisms, the air around increasingly suffused with the stench, akin to evil spirits crawling from the Nine Nether Hell.

The eerily screeching didn’t even rest, as the tide-like white arms from the ground encircled him and Xue Li.

Shi Feiyang snorted coldly, rapidly twisting the Celestial Frost Blade in his hand, its cold light soaring, severing the approaching arms.

Severed arms scattered across the ground, black blood splattered around, corroding the snow into smoldering black holes.

His figure darted like a ghost among the corpse arms, employing the exquisite killing move of the Hundred Victories Saber Technique ”Heaven and Earth Stillness,” each blade strike brought the momentum to split mountains and break stones, the blade wind howling, sucking the surrounding snow into the air, mixing with shattered bones, severed limbs, the scene was bloody and chaotic.

Xue Li summoned Inner Strength, the blue light on her jade sword weakly flickered, yet she still forcefully executed the ”Snow Shadow Splitting Light Sword.”

Seven sword shadows crisscrossed, attempting to shield Shi Feiyang.

However, with each sword thrust, she felt her meridians as if burned by fierce flames, her inner blood and energy churned, nearly losing the ability to restrain a mouthful of fresh blood.

The Three Envoys of the Netherworld observing, uttered a series of sinister laughs.

One of them flashed his figure, ghostly spinning around behind Shi Feiyang, his short blade gleaming with a ghostly green light; directly targeted the vital point in his back.

Shi Feiyang detected the disturbance behind him, lightly tapped his toe, employing ”Deep Concealment of Body and Name” Lightweight Technique to vanish in an instant.

The short blade missed its target, contacting the ground instead, corroding the bluestone street into a foot-deep pit hole, acrid poisonous fog spread out.

”Tricks of a petty sort!” Shi Feiyang’s voice came from mid-air, the Celestial Frost Blade was enveloped with all his True Qi, slashing down like a golden ribbon, precisely employing the deadly move from the Hundred Victories Saber Technique ”Red Dust Slash.”
