Chapter 868: Chapter 867: Troublesome Guest Arrives

Hou Niao seemed indifferent, “Why remove them? As the host, I welcome every cultivator willing to help Jinxiu, but if he does something inappropriate, that’s another matter, including the anchor chain people and those so-called envoys from the Upper Realm.”

Fusion is the trend, no one can stop it, and I just hope everything is within the rules.

Fairy Shui was curious, “Aren’t you continuing your travel challenge? I see your senior sister can’t sit still…”

Hou Niao gazed into the distance, “She certainly can’t sit still, because her opponents are only the anchor chain people; I don’t need to run around, apart from the anchor chain people, these visitors from the Upper Realm will come for me too, it’s been years, I can’t hide anywhere, so I’ll just wait.”

Hiding, skulking in development, is not in his nature; sword cultivators don’t grow in such a way; although Sword Light Division is a hurdle he can’t leap over, at least Body Sword Skill ensures he’s not bullied by others.

Days later, a figure appeared in the Shiqi Land, Thunder Whip rang a thousand times.

“This person shouldn’t be an anchor chain cultivator?” Fairy Shui was uncertain.

Hou Niao smiled, “Of course he isn’t, he’s Wei Yi of Xuanwu, an envoy from the Upper Realm; you’d better stay away, my place here may become a realm of disputes, not peaceful.”

… Wei Yi endured the thousand whips, looked towards the sword cultivator waiting not far away, and shouted:

“No need to reply, you and I must fight.”

Hou Niao was expressionless, “As you wish.”

Wei Yi gave a loud shout, rose into the air, his momentum exploded, his appearance exaggerated.

He came seeking this person for a purpose, more complex than a simple vendetta; before the Great Dao, what counts as personal grudges? They merely disrupted his good deeds, yet since all twelve individuals’ deeds were disrupted, it’s irrelevant.

For them, falling to another realm is the greatest failure, if it’s mutual misfortune, then it doesn’t count as misfortune, starting anew is all there is.

Among the twelve, Hou Niao is the only native of Jinxiu, whether to kill or keep, everyone has their calculation; to establish oneself in Jinxiu Continent, no one can fight alone, alliances and friendships are necessary to spread influence across Jinxiu; then comes the question, whom to ally with? Whom to oppose?

Xuanwu is a Daoist sect prioritizing force and body veins, naturally at odds with the mainstream, a consensus held over countless millennia, not something decided by words or personal relationships.

Sword Sect is a potential collaborator, but he wouldn’t turn to Yue Duo, that woman is too fierce and cold, collaborating with her would place him in a subordinate position, so he chooses another path, engaging with the Jinxiu native sword cultivator, that’s his strategy.

This Hou Niao could slay Bao Xishan from Ran Dao Realm upon their arrival and withstand two trial rounds, his strength is formidable, but not stronger than Yue Duo, thus there’s a possibility to subdue him.

As a top cultivator of the Upper Realm, he understands the essence of combat techniques, even if the ultimate goal is to subdue, one must treat it as life and death, leaving no room for negligence.

No Dharma Form, nor golden body of a hundred feet, just an ordinary person, an ordinary fist.

With a fist swung, the entire combat space lacked a speck of dust, leaves unmoved, gentle wind unchanged…

Hou Niao’s gaze sharpened, knowing the visitor wasn’t friendly, he leapt up, transformed into a sword light, carving an intricate sword trajectory in the air, descending upon the opponent’s head…

Wei Yi didn’t dodge or evade, a Bone Flower appeared on his head, greeted upward, immediately a deafening noise resounded like a hammer hitting a drum.

The hammer did not break, the drum did not scatter.

Wei Yi gripped the air with one hand, snatched and grabbed, the fleeting Flying Sword was caught precisely, then squeezed, threads of Sword Qi dispersed, the Flying Sword reintegrated, unscathed.

In one exchange, both were deeply cautious of each other.

Wei Yi could sense the opponent’s Flying Sword wasn’t ordinary, not a typical physical sword, dealing with such a sword cultivator is troublesome, as he couldn’t control his Flying Sword, had to think of other methods.

Hou Niao subconsciously guarded, puzzled about the unusual Ancient Martial feature atop the opponent’s head. The sword’s entry felt like hitting a golden steel, shaking him off his balance; could this appear only on the head or anytime, anywhere on the body?

The Flying Sword couldn’t cleave the opponent’s Bone Flower, posing a problem; the solution could involve breaking the opponent’s Bone Flower first, possibly by time or employing ancient thunder techniques, uncertain.

In the Ancient Martial tradition, seeking pure force rarely uses Dao Realm power, hence challenging to achieve surprise victories, the sole approach is breaking force with force, a relatively straightforward process, yet intolerant of deceit or craftiness.

The two fought relentlessly, gradually gaining insight, guiding them in a basic direction; Hou Niao aimed to erase the Bone Flower, Wei Yi intended to extract him from the Flying Sword.

Body Sword Skill is truly vexing, the cultivator’s true body remains hidden, yet it’s still Dao Golden Essence Qi, making forceful strikes futile, nowhere to exert force.

To subdue this sword cultivator, aside from the question of victory, he first needs to extract the sword cultivator from the Flying Sword.

The confrontation between sword cultivators and Ancient Martial is straightforward, direct, little convoluted planning, winning is based on force.

By this fighting stage, Hou Niao probably guessed the opponent’s intention, thus resolved to exchange a sword for a punch.

He didn’t desire to turn everyone into enemies.

Wei Yi nodded internally, no wonder the Ran Dao visitor died unjustly, at least this Jinxiu sword cultivator is on par with them, the difference is exceedingly slight, whether it widens or narrows over time remains uncertain.

But before concluding, he still had his adept Void Forging Hammer to try, inability to extricate the sword cultivator leaves no room for negotiation thereafter.

A wrapping left hand, a Li Gang large hand enveloped the Flying Sword, a fierce right hand struck the left palm, this was an unconventional use of Ancient Martial force, termed the Power of Void, a power capable of piercing space, any hidden space under such forging leaves nowhere to hide.

The only impact was a slower escape skill when applying the Power of Void, unable to attend to both.

Again, again, and again, even if the Flying Sword reached Wei Yi’s head, it couldn’t hinder this force.

His only reaction was to expose another Bone Flower when the Flying Sword descended.

He finally forced out the true body of the sword cultivator, simultaneously cornering himself in close combat; this shouldn’t matter, Ancient Martial has no fear of close battles, but upon contact, he knew he was in trouble.

The sword cultivator wielded the sword with terrifying ferocity, even his century-old Ancient Martial stance couldn’t withstand it, after a few moments of chaotic punches, his sword nearly reached the body, urging another Bone Flower futile.

He silently regretted being influenced by obsession, losing composure, otherwise why would he find himself in this predicament? Attempting to subdue ended up risking his life…

Hou Niao, however, did not overexert, lightly tapped with his longsword, retreating to the side, “Dao brother, do you truly wish to force me out?”

Wei Yi laughed heartily, “I miscalculated, forcing while not approaching too close, come, come, this fight was exhilarating, let’s drink three hundred cups together.”
