Chapter 177: Chapter 177: Phoenix’s Cry Reaches the Ninth Heaven

A metallic clang echoed through the Medicine King House.

The disciples of the martial arts school, who had already closed their eyes to await death,

suddenly opened their eyes and watched as Xiaoquan Jianlang was sent flying.

Holding his long blade, he spun around on the ground like a top for several turns

before he finally came to a stop.

The hands holding the blade were painfully numb.

He looked in astonishment at the slender figure standing before him.

The woman, wearing a plain dress and covered by a black veil,

held the Qingfeng Sword firmly, standing as immovable as a mountain.

Although her tall figure was enveloped,

it was still exquisitely shaped.

Especially the clean and brisk manner in which she held her sword,

radiated a vibrant and spirited air.

"Thank you, Miss Shangguan, for lending a hand!"

Luo Jiuying recognized her at a glance.

This was none other than Shangguan Min Yue of the Shangguan Family.

Young as she was, she was highly skilled.

"Mr. Luo is too polite. I was ordered by my mentor to assist. The situation was urgent, so I had to make a move first,"

Although her face was obscured by the bamboo hat,

her pride was evident, tinged with an untouchable aloofness.

"You wench, dare to block my blade!"

Xiaoquan Jianlang shook his numb hand.

His attack had been completely blocked.

Especially since his opponent remained unshaken,

her strength was definitely not inferior to his.

"Ignorant fool, daring to cause chaos in Jiangning, bring it on if you think you have the ability."

With a flick, the three-inch Qingfeng Sword in her hand trembled ceaselessly in the wind.

Shangguan Min Yue’s indifferent tone was filled with a murderous intent.

"You wench, stop acting so high and mighty. Can you block this strike?"

Xiaoquan Jianlang, with a sinister smile on his lips and his hands clutching the blade,

did not show any courtesy because she was a woman.

Instead, he took two quick steps and darted toward Shangguan Min Yue like lightning.

The long blade traced a large arc,

bringing a chilling aura as it sliced down toward Shangguan Min Yue’s lower body.

"Despicable tricks!"

Such an attack was highly disdained by Shangguan Min Yue.

With a push off her feet, she leaped high.

Evading the attack in a flash, her sword immediately enveloped Xiaoquan Jianlang in a shower of blades from above.

The deadly cold light enveloped him completely in the sword’s shadow.

She struck relentlessly.

"Clang, clang, clang!"

He swiftly turned around to block all attacks.

Sparks flew, accompanied by the echoing sound of metal.

The two of them, one with a long weapon and the other light-footed, clashed fiercely.

In the vast courtyard, blades and swords cast shadows.

Their figures intertwined, fighting spiritedly.

"Radish-head, can this girl hold off this little devil?"

Li Yizhen quickly stepped forward, helping the unsteady Luo Jiuying.

Being an outsider, he naturally didn’t understand the stakes involved.

"That little devil’s blade is longer and has a greater range of attack, but Shangguan Min Yue is more agile and her swordsmanship more graceful. Each has their strengths, yet their skills are matched, and now it’s about who can suppress the other’s advantages and exploit their weaknesses,"

Luo Jiuying stood there, his expression grave.

If Shangguan Min Yue were to lose, the consequences would be dire.

"Mr. Luo, don’t worry too much. Since she can fight that little devil to a standstill, she is far from being Lin Fan’s match. Just wait for him to arrive; none of these villains will escape."

Li Qiqi stood on Luo Jiuying’s other side,

quietly supporting his arm.

Last time, Lin Fan had subdued Shangguan Min Yue effortlessly.

Dealing with that little devil should be even smoother.

"Ah, what a shame."

Hearing this, Luo Jiuying couldn’t help but sigh: "As the head of the Martial Alliance, to think I have to wait for rescue; if this gets out, I’ll utterly lose face."

"What’s so great about being the head of the Martial Alliance? I myself am a Divine Doctor. If it weren’t for the boss helping out, my signboard would have been taken down long ago. Having a benefactor is a good thing; what’s there to be ashamed of?"

Li Yizhen said this with a bit of pride.

Lin Fan had indeed intervened several times to resolve his troubles.

"Don’t act like you’ve got the upper hand, all you want is to make the boss your son-in-law, and because I don’t have granddaughters, you’re bullying me,"

seeing Li Yizhen looking smug, Luo Jiuying felt quite displeased inside.

Both of them had been fighting for half a lifetime.

But this time, he managed to get the upper hand.

"Why don’t you just let Shao Yong have one now?"

Li Yizhen mocked with a triumphant sneer.

"That wouldn’t be timely either!"

Luo Shaoyong, who had just recovered a bit, said with a strained face.

"Enough already, why are you still trying to steal my husband? I’m already short on him as it is."

Li Qiqi immediately grew unhappy, pouting her lips.

She was already stealing.

Yet there was still someone who wanted to share her gain.

"It seems like Miss Shangguan has gained the upper hand."

Just as everyone was talking, the combat situation had already changed.

The blade of Shangguan Min Yue was fierce.

Forcing Xiaoquan Jianlang to retreat continuously.

His shoulder was even pierced by the sword.

Blood flowed freely.

"You bitch, are you wearing a mask because you’re too ugly?"

After separating again, Xiaoquan Jianlang reached up to wipe the blood off his shoulder.

He put it to his mouth, licked it, and smiled even more recklessly.

"I never waste words with the dead."

Shangguan Min Yue still held her sword in one hand.

Beneath the black veil, her eyes were full of murderous intent.

"You’re not good enough to kill me. Today I’ll show you my double blade technique," he sneered coldly.

Xiaoquan Jianlang smirked coldly.

He reached behind his waist and pulled out a dagger.

Compared to the 1.56-meter-long Japanese sword.

The dagger was just thirty centimeters.

It was indeed tiny.

He then simply clenched it in his mouth, his eyes brimming with cruelty.

"Even ten blades won’t save you."

Having figured out her opponent’s pattern, Shangguan Min Yue took the initiative to close in.

Her wrist flickered slightly, unleashing myriad sword flowers.

Pressing towards Xiaoquan Jianlang once more.

"Yihe Double Blade Slash!"

Xiaoquan Jianlang snorted the obscure name through his nose.

He suddenly twisted his body like a falling leaf.

The sword in his hand turned into countless spikes, striking directly at Shangguan Min Yue.

"Child’s play, amateurish!"

Amidst the clashing metal, Shangguan Min Yue had already spotted his weakness.

Her sword thrust out rapidly, heading straight for Xiaoquan Jianlang’s head.

"Clang!"

Unexpectedly, that fatal strike produced a metallic clang.

Under his crooked hat, there was actually a steel helmet made of refined steel.

This move startled Shangguan Min Yue.

Before she could retract her sword for defense, Xiaoquan Jianlang suddenly spat out the dagger he had in his mouth.

"Puff!"

Cold light flickered, accompanied by a dull noise.

Even though Shangguan Min Yue tried to dodge, it was already too late.

The hat on her head was split in two.

Her hair bun was also severed.

Jet-black hair fell loose.

Fortunately, beneath the black veil, there was another black mask.

Her eyes were the only visible features, showing a look of astonishment.

At the same time, a white smoke enveloped her face.

She felt dizzy and disoriented.

The handle of his dagger, it turned out, was poisoned.

"Die, you bitch!"

Seizing the opportunity while Shangguan Min Yue was wide open,

Xiaoquan Jianlang’s long sword was already slashing down on her.

This strike was with full force.

He cut towards Shangguan Min Yue’s waist without reservation.

"Be careful!"

By the time people reacted, it was too late.

The sharp blade of the sword had already reached Shangguan Minrui’s waist.
