King of Hundred Victories Saber

This saber strike is astonishingly powerful. Where the saber energy reaches, the air emits an ear-piercing explosive sound, and the ground is carved with a deep trench half a zhang wide.

The Netherworld Guard wielding the short blade could not evade in time, hit by the saber energy, screamed miserably, and his body was instantly split in half. His innards and blood spilled all over the place, creating a scene too gruesome to behold.

”You dare kill my brother!” The leader of the Three Envoys of the Netherworld was furious, eyes burning with rage, as he wielded the Wolf Fang Club with a ferocious momentum, raising billows of black, pungent wind towards Shi Feiyang. Shi Feiyang crossed his saber to block, with a loud ”boom” as if thunder exploded in a clear sky, the ground around them cracked instantly, smoke and dust swirling.

Shi Feiyang felt a tremendous force coming, his arm slightly numb, but relying on the deep Inner Strength from the Bright Jade Technique, he managed to withstand the blow.

Taking advantage of the swirling dust, Xue Li forcefully circulated True Qi, and threw out the Jade Sword.

The Jade Sword traced a ghostly blue arc in the air, aiming directly at the throat of another in the Three Envoys of the Netherworld.

That person reacted extremely swiftly, waved an iron claw, and deflected the Jade Sword.

However, the cold air imbued in the Jade Sword instantly eroded his arm, causing his claw’s movement to pause slightly.

Shi Feiyang seized the opportunity, his figure like electricity, swiftly closing in.

The Celestial Frost Blade transformed into a streak of icy light, unleashing the ultimate kill move of the Hundred Victories Saber Technique, ”Peerless Might.”

This move contained his entire power and intent, where the blade light passed, the space seemed to be torn apart, emitting a ”zzz” sound.

The leader of the Three Envoys of the Netherworld was shocked, hastily waving the Wolf Fang Club to defend.

The clash of saber and club erupted with dazzling brilliance, so bright that it was hard to keep one’s eyes open.

The powerful airwaves lifted all the surrounding snow, severed limbs, and broken blades into a colossal vortex.

Under the impact of this formidable power, the final one of the Three Envoys of the Netherworld was blown away by the airwave, heavily crashing into the wall by the street, causing the wall to collapse with a rumble, burying him within.

As the light faded, Shi Feiyang was seen holding a saber single-handedly, standing firm, his dark cloak fluttering vigorously.

The leader of the Three Envoys of the Netherworld was on one knee, the Wolf Fang Club broken in two, holding the half which still trembled slightly.

A ghastly wound appeared on his chest, blood gushing out, dyeing the snow beneath him red.

”You... you actually...” His eyes were full of unwillingness and fear, unable to finish his words before collapsing to the ground without a breath.

Shi Feiyang exhaled a long breath, sheathing the Celestial Frost Blade.

He turned to look at Xue Li, seeing her face pale as paper, about to collapse, promptly stepping forward to support her.

”Miss, are you alright?” he asked with concern.

Xue Li managed to squeeze out a faint smile: ”Thank you, sir... I... I can still hold on.”

Despite her words, her voice was extremely weak.

Shi Feiyang furrowed his brows, quickly moved forward, and embraced Xue Li, transferring a thread of Bright Jade Technique True Qi into her body: ”Don’t speak just yet, regulate your breathing.” At this moment, a dead silence surrounded them, only the cold wind howling, bringing a bloody scent to their faces. Shi Feiyang gazed at the chaotic scene before him, fully aware that although this fierce battle had temporarily ended, the crisis they faced might have only just begun.

Shi Feiyang held Xue Li by her slender waist, lightly tapping his toes on the eaves, his figure darting like lightning, performing the supreme Lightweight Technique of ”After finishing, wipe the clothes and leave,” leaping and maneuvering across the rooftops of Gusu City. His clothes fluttered, raising the cold wind, disappearing into the vast night in the blink of an eye.

The night grew deeper, and a grand manor loomed dimly under the moonlight. A pair of colossal bronze lions stood proudly at the vermilion gates, above which the words ”Shi Mansion” were carved, displaying robust vigor, reflecting an ancient sheen in the moonlight.

Shi Feiyang landed gently with Xue Li, and with a creak, the heavy door slowly opened, over a hundred servants and maidservants, dressed in vigorous outfits, filed out in neat lines.

These servants stood tall and sharp-eyed, seeming like ordinary attendants, yet each was an elite disciple carefully selected by the Heroic Sakura Association; the maidservants, graceful and beautiful, concealed impressive martial skills, posed as formidable female warriors within the association. The old butler leading them swiftly stepped forward, bowing with respect: ”Grand Squad Leader, you’re finally back!” His gaze glanced at Xue Li in Shi Feiyang’s arms, pausing momentarily without further comment.

Shi Feiyang nodded slightly and spoke in a deep voice: ”Prepare the guest room, heat water, and healing herbs.”

Having said that, he strode into the mansion with Xue Li. Passing through corridors adorned with carved beams and painted pillars, he ascended white marble steps.

Xue Li looked up, amazed by the scene before her.

Inside the courtyard, towering ancient trees held palace lanterns emitting gentle light, bathing the entire garden in a dream-like aura.

Curved paths snaked among clusters of blooming flowers. Though it was the cold of winter, various flowers blossomed due to some unknown method, their delicate fragrance wafting through the air.

In the distance, towering rockeries, with streams trickling by, a nine-turn stone bridge spanning clear waters, its railings engraved with exquisite dragon and phoenix patterns, vivid and lively.

”Is this... the Shi Mansion?” Xue Li murmured softly, her eyes filled with astonishment. Having grown up in the Celestial Snow Cave of Tianshan Mountain, the most magnificent sights she’d seen were snow-covered peaks, never having witnessed such luxurious and imposing residences.

Shi Feiyang glanced down at her, a slight smile curving his lips: ”It’s merely a place to reside. Miss, focus on recovery for now; other matters will be addressed later.” His voice was deep and gentle, starkly contrasting with his previous coldness in battle.

Xue Li’s cheeks flushed lightly, nodding softly, and thought to herself: ”Truly living up to his name, the Grand Squad Leader of the Heroic Sakura Association not only holds unparalleled martial arts skills, but his wealth is also shockingly abundant.” With these thoughts, she found herself at the guest room door.
