Chapter 170: Chapter 169: You’ve Angered Me! (Fourth Update!)

“Escape?”

Xiao Yuhui’s eyes flashed.

Even though she didn’t take Sheng He very seriously, she had to admit that Sheng He was indeed very steady and calm.

Just now, it seemed as if he was ready to fight to the death, but that was just a Disguise Technique. Sheng He’s main goal was to leave this place.

The Royal Guards specialized in assassination, not head-on combat.

Direct combat was their weakness; it was like comparing one’s own weaknesses to another’s strengths.

As the Corps Commander of the Royal Guard, Sheng He understood this well, so from the beginning, he had no desire to engage in combat with Xiao Yuhui, even though Xiao Yuhui’s presence was merely at the Dragon Blood Realm.

“Royal Guard, retreat!” Sheng He shouted.

Upon hearing this command, the Royal Guards, without a word, broke away from the encircling Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression and fled into the distance.

“Since you have come, then don’t leave.”

Xiao Yuhui’s expression was icy. The Royal Guard was hailed as the Sect of True Martial Arts’ number one assassination corps, the right-hand man of Pian Pingtian. If she could kill these people, Pian Pingtian would effectively lose an arm.

“Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression, kill!” Xiao Yuhui ordered.

“Purple Night Divine Guard, support with your attacks!” Liuyun also shouted.

“Yes.”

The Purple Night Divine Guard immediately obeyed the order. As the Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression pursued, the man who had previously used the Ice Freezing Technique once again took action, freezing the ground solid.

The Royal Guard were not like the ineffective members of the First Army of the Sect of True Martial Arts; they were all at the Dragon Spirit Realm, with extremely fast speeds.

The ice formation took time to form, and during that time, they had already dodged away.

However, the area of the ice formation was extremely large, covering a radius of ten thousand meters. The Royal Guards couldn’t fly; although they avoided the freezing, a huge block of ice had already formed in front of them. Their feet slipped on the ice, significantly affecting their speed.

The pursuing Divine Guardian of the Dragon Suppression, however, was different. Wherever they went, the ice melted away. As one grew stronger and the other weaker, they quickly caught up with the members of the Royal Guard.

“Whoosh!”

Figures flickered, and Xiao Yuhui appeared in front of Sheng He.

“Captain Sheng He, why such a hurry?”

As Xiao Yuhui spoke, she struck out with her delicate arm that seemed weak, but the power unleashed by a full sixty-eight Dragon Veins caused Sheng He’s pupils to contract continually.

“How many Dragon Veins have you actually opened?!” Sheng He couldn’t believe it.

He had seen others at the late stage of the Dragon Blood Realm, but never had he seen someone like Xiao Yuhui, who, without using any Dragon Techniques but purely relying on her cultivation base to strike, had such immense strength. He hadn’t just never seen it; he hadn’t even heard of it!

“Why don’t you give it a try and see for yourself?”

Xiao Yuhui’s eyes were frosty as her palm fiercely collided with Sheng He’s fist, causing both to retreat several steps.

“Impossible!”

Sheng He was shocked in his heart. He was at the Peak of the Dragon Spirit Realm, after all!

Xiao Yuhui was a full Great Realm below him, and the gap between their strengths was difficult to bridge, yet in their head-on clash, they were evenly matched?

“Is this really the strength of Captain Sheng He?”

Xiao Yuhui shook her head and sighed, “Seems rather weak…”

“Hmph!”

Sheng He’s face darkened, and after exchanging blows with Xiao Yuhui a few times, he once again attempted to flee.

But at that moment, a vine shot forth at an indescribable speed, drawing closer and closer in Sheng He’s line of sight.

Sheng He’s face changed. He knew that this vine was from the hundred-meter-tall tree!

He had seen with his own eyes how thousands had died at the hands of this vine. Although it was unlikely that the vine could kill him with his Peak Dragon Spirit Realm strength, it would pose a serious obstacle.

With Xiao Yuhui pursuing him, if he got entangled by this vine, he might really lose his life here today!

“Scram!”

Sheng He bellowed, his dagger suddenly swinging out to slice at the vine.

At the same time, his figure flipped into the air in a spectacular vault, not only avoiding the vine’s lash but also severing it in the middle.

At that moment, Xiao Yuhui also caught up.

“You want to kill me? Come back in a few years!”

Amidst a cold snort from Sheng He, he exploded with extraordinary speed, racing towards the distance.

Xiao Yuhui’s eyebrows knitted slightly, and she inwardly sighed that her cultivation base was still too low. She thought that if she could only reach the peak of the Dragon Blood Realm, let alone the Dragon Spirit Realm, she would have been able to stop Sheng He today.

“Sister, it’s your turn to make a move,” Xiao Yuhui murmured.

“Sister?”

Upon hearing these two words, Sheng He’s eyelids twitched violently.

The next instant, an indescribable sense of crisis rose in his heart, his body hair standing on end as he instinctively dodged to the side.

“Bang!”

Just then, a figure suddenly flashed out from in front of him to his left.

It was a woman, stunningly beautiful, with some resemblance to Xiao Yuhui. However, while Xiao Yuhui carried a cold aura, this woman appeared lively and mischievous.

Her pure white arm seemed to stretch out, and no matter how Sheng He dodged, it ultimately caught up with him, thumping against his chest.

“Puh!”

Sheng He immediately spat out a mouthful of blood, feeling as if the bones in his chest were about to break.

If he hadn’t concentrated all his Dragon Power into his chest at the last moment, that single palm strike might have pierced straight through him!

“Who are you?!”

Sheng He couldn’t describe what he felt; he had nearly killed a member of the Purple Night Divine Guard but was suddenly blocked by Xiao Yuhui. Now, as he was about to escape, a woman had stopped him again.

In the past, Sheng He had viewed women with great disdain, believing that only men could possess immense strength, and that women were just playthings.

But today, he truly saw how powerful a woman could be.

Especially this girl in front of him, who looked lively and cute, seemingly harmless to humans and animals. She was capable of injuring him with a single palm strike.

“God-Slaying Pavilion, Holy Cold Divine Guard.”

The girl stood there prettily but the words she uttered made Sheng He’s face darken to the point where it seemed water might drip from it.

Up to now, of the Five Divine Guard Corps of the God-Slaying Pavilion, three Divine Guards had taken action.

And each one was stronger than the last. Sheng He couldn’t even imagine how powerful the remaining two Divine Guards would be.

At this moment, he even had a feeling… that Sect of True Martial Arts was unlikely to come away with any advantage against the God-Slaying Pavilion today.

“I don’t want to waste words with you. Let me quickly finish you off, so I can claim my merit with my husband,” Xiao Yuran charged at Sheng He.

Sheng He retreated rapidly while asking, “And who is your husband?”

“See, isn’t he standing on the city wall?” Xiao Yuran pointed her lips towards the city wall.

Sheng He reacted swiftly, needing no further explanation to know who the ‘husband’ mentioned by her was.

“Hmph, truly worthy of being the Pavilion Master of the God-Slaying Pavilion, you really keep quite a few women around,” Sheng He sneered.

“What did you say?!”

Xiao Yuran’s pretty face instantly turned frosty, an astonishing coldness emanating from her body.

“You filthy scoundrel, you’ve made me angry!”
