Chapter 340: Chapter 333: Sword Testing Part 2

Above the sea of clouds not far from the Cloud Soar Sword Sect.

A boat, white as jade, slowly floated above the clouds, heading straight for Cloud Soar Mountain.

On the jade boat, an elder in red clothes twirled his beard and laughed heartily.

"This old thief Flowing Cloud finally slipped up this time. I thought he was truly about to break through to Yuan Jing, but it turns out he’s still stuck in the same old place without a change."

"The ancestor has chosen the timing well this time. That old thief Flowing Cloud boasted about secluding himself to break through to Yuan Jing, and then he was not seen for decades. Who would have thought he was hiding quietly in this mountain nook?" A ravishing woman in a red dress emerged from the pavilion on the jade boat, swaying her hips as she leaned close to the elder, a flirtatious smile on her face.

"Had it not been for a cultivator passing by recently, feeling the eruption of the Flowing Cloud Blade Intent, no one would have realized the Cloud Soar Sect actually hid in this forsaken place."

"The enmity of a single sword strike from years ago...this time, I shall personally repay it," the elder in red declared coldly, his voice menacing.

Suddenly, it seemed he heard a red stream of light flying from the far front, his gaze fixed intently on that light.

The figure within the light was not clear, but he was taken aback by the speed of the other party.

Barely having heard the sound, and within a few breaths, the light beam had passed under the jade boat and disappeared behind into the sea of clouds in the blink of an eye.

"Such incredible speed!"

The elder couldn’t help but exclaim aloud.

"Could it be someone from the Cloud Soar Sect? No, that’s unlikely. If that old coot Flowing Cloud had this kind of speed, we likely wouldn’t be able to kill him today."

The moment the words left his mouth.

The elder in red heard another sharp breaking through the air sound coming from behind.

That red stream of light had returned, suddenly diving toward the jade boat.

Like a streak of red smoke, it passed directly through the protective shield and lightly landed on the deck, coalescing into a black-robed man.

"Did you just say you wanted to kill Zheng Yunzhen?"

The elder in red was slightly taken aback, not yet clear on how the other had broken through the formation’s protective shield, when he heard this question.

He subconsciously nodded slightly.

"Indeed, Daoist, do you also bear a grudge against the Cloud Soar Sword Sect? Perhaps you and I..."

Shhh!!

Before he could finish speaking, a dazzling red light suddenly shot forth, instantly reaching his face.

"Red Flower Chorusing!"

"You’re courting death!!"

The elder in red raged, his body glowing with a blood-like red light, his fingernails extending and sharpening as he fiercely clawed towards the red light.

Boom!!!

An intense collision of spiritual energy ensued.

A moment later.

The jade boat suddenly exploded, a large area covered in scarlet flames engulfing the vessel.

A beautiful woman screamed as she fled into the distance, hardly having flown up when a red stream of light caught up with her, a sword piercing her heart, causing her to plummet.

Thud!!

The jade boat completely broke in two, crashing downwards heavily.

Amidst the rampant blaze, a streak of red light suddenly shot out, it was none other than Lin Xin in a black robe.

He glanced at the falling jade boat.

"Having comprehended the Flowing Clouds Blade Intent, my Primitive Demon Body has actually strengthened somewhat, an unexpected pleasant surprise. It seems that comprehending a thousand kinds of Daoist intents is the inevitable step the Primitive Demon Body must take to condense Yuan Jing."

Withdrawing his gaze, he flew straight towards the distant horizon, quickly disappearing above the sea of clouds.

**************************

King Fortune Mountain.

Among the famous mountains and rivers of Central Prefecture, it is the most unremarkable yet most mysterious peak.

It is called unremarkable because this mountain is no different from any other small mountain, without any notable features, steepness or grand beauty, lacking any special topography or ambiance.

But it is said to be mysterious because at the foot of this mountain, there is a spring that continuously flows out water.

No one knows where its water comes from. However, the water from this spring, once it extends beyond ten meters, will rise into the air and vaporize.

A large amount of mist swirls around the entirety of King Fortune Mountain, making the mountain seem dreamlike, as if hidden and not solid.

Occasionally, one could even hear the plaintive cries of foxes coming from within.

It was still early.

At the foot of King Fortune Mountain, a young man in a black robe arrived.

In this wild and uninhabited area, a lone young man unexpectedly appeared.

The mist contained a faint but increasingly strong sense of danger that began to stir.

Walking straight along the mountain road, Lin Xin paid no attention to the increasingly thick sense of danger around him, instead recalling the map’s directions, pausing now and then to close his eyes for a moment before continuing on.

After about half an hour.

Faint sounds of water could be heard ahead.

"Ouch."

Suddenly, a soft girl’s voice came from the front left direction.

The mist slightly dispersed, and Lin Xin looked in the direction of the voice.

A young girl in a white dress was sitting half-reclined on the grass, her expression eliciting sympathy, with her eyebrows slightly furrowed as if she had tripped and fallen.

The girl seemed to have been through a long journey, with her white dress torn in places by branches and thorns, revealing that she wore nothing underneath.

Especially noticeable was the rise at her chest. Beneath the somewhat tattered dress, it was partially hidden, teasingly visible. Her ivory-like legs were long and well-proportioned, and the area between her legs was slightly exposed.

"It hurts..." the woman whimpered softly. "Is there anyone... Is anyone there?" She began to look around.

Lin Xin’s face was expressionless; he paused in his steps, hesitated for a moment, and then turned toward the direction of the woman.

The two were twenty or thirty meters apart, but within a few moments, he slowly walked up to her.

"Young Master! This servant and my sisters got separated. I got lost for a moment in this deep and vast forest... I am completely alone... I only ask that the young master might lead me out of these mountains."

Seeing Lin Xin, the woman was overjoyed. Her skin as white as jade faintly blushed. Realizing that her white dress did little to cover her, she quickly reached to cover herself but accidentally exposed more of her lower body. Beneath the haze, Lin Xin could even see a small part of her most secretive area, though not fully.

It was this suggestive appearance that made her even more provocative.

"If the young master could safely lead this servant out of these mountains, I am willing... willing to do anything for the young master... Please consider..."

Lin Xin slowly sheathed his sword, his face emotionless, and continued walking forward.

"Not a Jade Fox," he muttered to himself.

At the place where the woman had been, a small red fox lay dismembered on the grass, its blood slowly seeping into the soil.

Continuing several hundred meters forward, the fog became denser to the point of nearly blinding visibility.

The sound of water grew louder. Faint sounds of talking and laughter floated from afar as well.

"Oh dear, how come the fifth sister hasn’t arrived? I’m afraid some wilderness rogue might have whisked her away," a coquettish female voice laughed.

"The fifth sister always had a big appetite and she’s still growing. I massaged her for a long time yesterday and felt she’s grown larger than before. What do you think? If this keeps up, she might become bigger than all of us, that really won’t do!" another woman giggled in response.

"I heard that the Cave Master of Yellow Dragon wanted to invite our fifth sister into his cave, but she politely refused. He doesn’t realize what a foolish figure he cuts. We sisters, if we were to choose, would prefer a handsome and lovely young scholar. Just look at him, with his scorpion spirit ugly face, even daring to fancy us!"

"Exactly, exactly, a young scholar everyday, wouldn’t life be blissful as immortality?"

The seductive voices of several women bantered back and forth, occasionally accompanied by the sound of playful splashing in the water.

Lin Xin ignored all this and kept walking toward the source of the sounds.

He made no attempt to conceal the sound of his footsteps as he approached step by step.

The women seemed to have heard the commotion.

"Sisters, we have a visitor, hurry up, get up. If we’re lucky, we could have a great time tonight!"

A clear and beautiful female voice called out.

"Yes, sister."

The women responded in unison, followed by the noise of them getting up from the water.

Lin Xin walked forward, and soon the fog cleared, revealing a small, oval lake with clear water, from which steam was rising—it turned out to be a natural hot spring.

More than ten women, each with flawless figures and features, were getting out of the water and wrapping themselves in something like a white towel.

The group of women, with hair cascading down their backs and curves prominently displayed, had smooth skin that shone so bright it almost dazzled the onlooker.

Two of the women, who hadn’t made it to shore as Lin Xin arrived, were not shy but instead turned around, spread their legs, and thrust out their chests, intentionally exposing their most private parts.

"Oh~~ this is indeed a handsome young man." These two women did not feel ashamed; instead, they leered and laughed lasciviously.

Lin Xin stopped at the edge of the hot springs.

"I am here to find the King of the Jade Foxes."

The King of the Jade Foxes?

At this phrase, the laughter of the stunning women suddenly halted. They realized the newcomer was no ordinary person, nor was he a common swordsman of Jianghu.

The two naked women also stopped laughing and hurriedly got up.

"You should state your name first. Our king does not meet just any insignificant person who happens along," the oldest of the women stepped forward and spoke seriously.

"I am Red Flower."

"Red Flower?" The group of women looked puzzled, displaying expressions that clearly showed they had never heard the name.

Lin Xin frowned slightly.

"Nevermind, I will go by myself."

He completely ignored the group of women and walked around the edge of the lake toward the depths of King Fortune Mountain,

"This is the holy land of our Jade Fox Clan, how dare you barge in as you please!"

The leader suddenly frowned sternly and spoke in a sharp tone.

The other women also rose into the air, landing in front of Lin Xin. Being of the Demon Race, their transformed state was nearly equivalent to that of human Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

"Move aside." Lin Xin’s frown deepened.

"Formation!" Sensing that Lin Xin was tough to handle, the leader gave the command, and the women began twisting their waists, releasing a pink mist, forming a constantly rotating circular formation.

A myriad of pale golden halos were mixed with the pink mist. Within the formation, beautiful bodies shimmered in and out of view, rapidly spreading a strange force that unsettled the mind.

Boom!

In an instant, a blazing red light shot straight through the center of the formation, piercing several young women in the chest and head, detonating them. Flesh and blood flew everywhere.

The formation exploded, the red mist, and golden sparks shattered by the golden light, as fragile as paper.

In an instant, half of the stunning women were dead, and the rest were spewing fresh blood, blown far away by the impact.

All returned to silence; Lin Xin sheathed his Red Flower Sword and continued walking along the path he had been following.

Nothing further obstructed his path.
