Chapter 878: Chapter 553: Clash

Under the enhancement of Blood Essence Meteoring Art, Celestial Fates Divine Soul, and Spiritual Vision, Xu Yuan’s eyesight barely kept pace with the two’s exchanges.

Xu Mengxi lost. Though it was a regrettable defeat, it was not unjust.

Not even Bai Muxi had spotted the activation of the Dao Charm by the middle-aged coachman, and it was also at the moment of the attack’s formation that Xu Yuan barely detected the anomaly with his Spiritual Vision.

It was terrifying.

After all, his Spiritual Vision was even capable of probing Lou Ji, though it was when she was off guard.

The fluctuations of the middle-aged coachman’s Dao Charm were almost indistinguishable from the ordinary dispersal of Qi by spellcraft.

With just this move alone, within the same rank, nearly no one could evade his surprise attacks.

After all, to reach the level of a Great Grandmaster, who wasn’t a genius in their younger years?

A small error could lead to a thousand miles of difference; victory and defeat could flip in an instant.

Dao Charm is such an unreasonable thing; unknown intelligence, a momentary lapse of attention could result in a fatal surprise.

Xu Mengxi and the middle-aged coachman, one conscious of trying not to damage the street, the other intent on protecting the carriage, both spurred on powerful spellcraft. Despite their efforts, the spacious street was still a mess of destruction.

Hundreds of Sword Qi hurricanes cut the road into shreds, but fortunately, the shops in Huaijiu Alley were willing to invest heavily in formations. A few unlucky ones caught in the light of swords drawn by the two as they dodged merely saw their Formation Pattern screens dim without collapsing.

The battle came quickly and ended just as swiftly, lasting barely a dozen breaths.

From the look of the situation, Xu Mengxi and the middle-aged coachman seemed to have fought to a draw.

Although Xu Mengxi was stealthily attacked by Dao Charm, her Spiritual Vision revealed that her final kick was wrapped in the Dao Charm’s fluctuations.

The middle-aged coachman took a solid hit and was certainly unable to rise again.

Both sides suffered damage.

But the problem was, Qin Weishu had two Great Grandmasters on his side.

The instant Xu Mengxi’s body toppled, a fair, delicate arm suddenly reached out from inside the Nine Returns carriage, aiming straight for Xu Mengxi’s heart!

Seeing this scene, Xu Yuan’s eyes unconsciously narrowed.

A direct killing blow?

Does Qin Weishu lack brains?

Although both sides had already broken into a street fight, up until now, it could still be considered a farce.

According to Xu Yuan’s knowledge of this female constable, her actions to capture Qin Weishu most certainly didn’t have the endorsement from the upper echelons.

In other words, as long as Qin Weishu wasn’t immediately captured and sent to the imperial prison, even if he injured Xu Mengxi, this matter would most likely end up being swept under the rug.

As for Xu Mengxi’s claim that Qin Weishu killed a Commander of the Imperial Court?

That might be important to Xu Mengxi, but to the Imperial Court, it was more a case of the will being there but not the strength.

The Imperial Court’s control over Jiangnan wasn’t strong, much like the former Northern Frontier, essentially belonging to the category of "Imperial power not extending into the commandery." If the Sects didn’t cooperate, the issued edicts would reach the state government and that’s as far as they’d go.

The various commanders dispatched there are either warriors who want to change the locale and govern with vigor, or they are the discarded pieces who have been banished after failing in power struggles.

The former are inherently ready to lay down their lives, while the latter, the Court doesn’t care whether they live or die.

As long as no one touches officials of the Fourth Grade or higher, and no scandalous events occur that the Imperial Family can’t brush off, the Court basically turns a blind eye.

However, if Qin Weishu killed Xu Mengxi on the street, it’s likely that he wouldn’t be able to leave Di’an City.

With Xu Mengxi’s stubborn and unyielding nature, if she didn’t have someone to protect her, she probably would have died countless times over by now.

Her master happens to be the Chief of the Secret Investigation Bureau, holding real power as a Second Grade official with an intelligence network across Dayan.

As this thought flashed by, Xu Yuan suddenly felt a desire to watch the drama unfold.

He wanted to see if Qin Weishu was truly senseless.

Unfortunately, this expectation to be entertained was not to be, as Xiao Bai had already followed his instructions and approached the Nine Returns carriage.

A Gengjin Xuan Shield, imbued with the scorching might of Separation Fire, materialized instantly before Xu Mengxi’s smooth chest.

The woman’s stabbing palm from within the carriage curtain collided with it, generating a visually apparent shockwave that swept across several streets in the vicinity!

The outcome of the instantaneous exchange was somewhat beyond Xu Yuan’s expectations.

In front of the seemingly stagnant Jiugui carriage, the Gengjin Separation Fire Shield managed to block for just less than a breath’s time before it was directly pierced by the woman inside the carriage with her stabbing palm, but this short duration was already enough for Bai Muxi to fulfill Xu Yuan’s command.

Grabbing Xu Mengxi by the back of her neck, Xiao Bai glanced at the naked woman inside and retreated backward.

Seeing this, the woman, regardless of her nakedness, was about to pursue but unexpectedly, the Gengjin Separation Fire Shield she had broken through suddenly melted and deformed.

The naked woman’s pupils shrank as she immediately shielded her skin with Origin Qi, with a continuous sizzling sound.

After the first move was dismantled, a variation quickly followed.

Bai Muxi pressed down her slender finger.

The molten liquid, which had originated from the Gengjin Separation Fire Shield, instantly solidified into a heavy lump of thousand-pound gold, enveloping the woman’s arm and plummeting downward!

After a brief moment of imbalance, when the naked woman forcibly adapted to the weight of her arm and attempted to rise again to pursue, she discovered that several strands of molten gold extending from the lump on her hand had already fused with the carriage below her.

She could break free, but that would dismantle her young master’s carriage.

And her brief hesitation directly cost her the opportunity to pursue.

Bai Muxi had already returned with the painfully grimacing Xu Mengxi to stand before the carriage where Xu Yuan was, her gaze coldly fixated on the carriage ahead.

She actually quite wanted to make a move and slaughter these people who had spoiled her good deed.

But unfortunately, the young master only told her to rescue someone and did not order more, so she was reluctant to continue her attack.

"Clap...clap...clap...clap..."

On the deserted street, only two carriage frames faced each other across the void, with a light clapping sound gently emerging from the Jiugui carriage.

It was applause.

Genuine applause.

After the woman freed herself from the restraints, she opened the curtains for her young master, and Qin Weishu stepped out of the carriage to stand on the carriage steps, wearing trousers and draped in a white fur coat, bare-chested and breasts exposed, clapping his hands while smiling and staring at the still carriage a dozen paces away:

"Indeed, quite a clever trick, but might I inquire, what is the meaning of this action?"

"..."

It was quite a spectacle, the aura very commanding.

Xu Yuan’s gaze swept over Qin Weishu and then settled on the standing naked woman beside him.

The naked woman must be a dedicated bodyguard cultivated by the Qin Family since childhood, her demeanor cold and indifferent, somewhat reminiscent of Ying’er.

Thinking of this, Xu Yuan suddenly felt somewhat imbalanced.

The Qin Family’s dedicated guards included all sorts of services, while his own guards not only provided no compensation but also used Qi Machine Locks on you.

The indifferent woman made no attempt to hide her naked body, drawing a thin garment from inside the vehicle, and without bothering to put on an undershirt, she swiftly slipped it on in front of them. The cloth hung close to her body, revealing spots.

Could this Qin Weishu be the reincarnation of Mister Qin?

With this thought in mind and a faint smile curving his lips, Xu Yuan slowly stood up from the soft couch inside the carriage.

Out of the carriage, Bai Muxi also seemed to respond, casually tossing the Xu Mengxi she held onto the ground, then darted to the front of the carriage to courteously open the door for Xu Yuan.

"Thud...."

"Thud...."

"Thud...."

Stepping down, standing upon the earth.

Dusting off his robe of non-existent dust, Xu Yuan looked towards the disheveled playboy opposite him and said lightly:

"Young Master Qin, this is me saving you. What do you suppose that means?"
