Chapter 20 - Another Persona, Haoxing Guiliu

At this moment!

Xiao Shiyilang's expression was grave; he had already secretly guessed the identity of the person before him.

Even he was captivated by Shen Bijun's peerless beauty.

Her beauty was indescribable, capable of rivaling the sun and moon. All the flowers in the world paled in comparison.

But after admiring her, what was more daunting was this peerless beauty's strength.

It was said that!

Liancheng Bi, hailed as the leader of the Six Gentlemen of the martial world, was already considered extremely outstanding among the younger generation.

His cultivation had already reached the late stage of Grandmaster!

But because he admired Shen Bijun, he had once pursued her.

The result!

Naturally, he was rejected without hesitation.

To dispel his thoughts, Shen Bijun sparred with him, and in a single move, she severely injured Liancheng Bi.

From then on!

Although Old Madam Shen hadn't completely transferred all the power to Shen Bijun.

But the true helmsman of Shen Family Manor was undoubtedly the stunning beauty before them, a woman who could topple cities.

Xiao Shiyilang faced Shen Bijun with unprecedented seriousness, his expression wary as he asked:

"How did you find me?"

"I definitely didn't leave any clues along the way!"

Xiao Shiyilang was absolutely certain of this.

"A frog in a well cannot know the vastness of the world."

"The methods he taught me, how could you possibly detect them?"

"You indeed didn't leave any traces, but how could the Geludao not have the techniques I deliberately placed on it?"

Shen Bijun's lips curled into a slight smile, her eyes twinkling with a hint of amusement.

"So, are you going to surrender?"

"Or do I have to do this myself?"

Shen Bijun's gaze was now playful, as if she were looking at prey.

"Hmph! I, Xiao Shiyilang, have roamed the jianghu for years. I wouldn't surrender without a fight!"

"Now that I have the Geludao, I can seriously injure Liancheng Bi with one move!"

"Who wins, who loses, is still unknown!"

A strong wildness flashed in Xiao Shiyilang's eyes. He exuded an aura like a ferocious beast. The Geludao in his hand slowly emerged from its sheath, its cyan light like a clear, cold moon, reflecting a bright and dazzling glow.

Seeing this, Shen Bijun gently shook her head, her red lips parting slightly.

"You missed your last chance to live!"

"If that's the case, with your strength and the Geludao, you're qualified to witness this perfected technique!"

"Hmph! What arrogance!" Xiao Shiyilang's eyes were sharp, a hint of anger in his voice.

The other party clearly didn't take him seriously!

He, Xiao Shiyilang, wasn't some nobody in the jianghu.

Now, with the Geludao in hand, he could even barely contend with a top-tier expert like Ximen Chuixue.

Shen Bijun was strong, but he didn't believe he would lose!

In an instant!

Although he was furious in his heart, he didn't dare to be negligent in the slightest.

The Geludao was completely unsheathed!

Clang!

A sound like a dragon's roar, crisp and clear.

Azure blade light instantly spread out.

Brilliant and clear, impossible to look directly at!

Overwhelming, an indescribable sharpness suddenly appeared.

"Haoxing Guiliu, transform stars, return to the source!"

Shen Bijun raised her jade-like hands slightly. Her profound inner energy transformed into myriad stars, which shone brightly and were dazzling, radiating a mysterious divine radiance.

The power of countless stars interwove to form a brilliant starry realm, carrying all sorts of divine might and forming an invincible golden light.

Starlight poured down, sweeping forward with an overwhelming momentum.

Xiao Shiyilang also slashed with his Geludao.

The azure blade energy entered the starry realm, only causing a slight ripple.

Such an astonishing scene shocked Liancheng Bi, making it hard for him to believe.

He didn't have time to change his move and was crushed by the brilliant starlight.

The Geludao in his hand was directly knocked out of his grip by the immense force.

Xiao Shiyilang slammed heavily into the wall behind him.

The dazzling and pure power of the stars was far more overbearing than the genuine essence of the same realm.

With one move of Haoxing Guiliu, his internal organs were directly shattered.

Shen Bijun glanced at him indifferently, confirming that he was no longer breathing. She then picked up the Geludao on the side, her red lips parting slightly as she said:

"Daring to act recklessly in my Shen Family Manor, and then giving up your last chance of survival. You are truly a reckless and foolish person!"

"But to die under the ultimate move he taught me, you can be considered someone of note."

As soon as she finished speaking.

A deep sense of longing involuntarily appeared in Shen Bijun's eyes, which were like a pool of clear water.

He wondered when Xiao Shiyilang would come to Shen Family Manor again.

Haotian Xuansu!

Nong Family (Agricultural School), Daze Mountain, Lieshan Hall.

Tian Yan was wearing a deep blue cloak, which made her look noble and dignified. She raised her delicate head slightly, gazing quietly at the golden list in the sky. Her slender jade hands were clenched, and her red lips parted slightly as she said:

"Mother, when will Young Master return?"

"Back then, after he taught me the Shennong Liuli Gong (Divine Farmer's Glazed Skill), he vanished without a trace."

"Now, my cultivation has become the undisputed first among the Nong Family."

"Even if I were to succeed as the Xia Kui (Chivalry Leader), it would be a simple matter."

"When he returns, I will give him the entire Nong Family."

Hearing this, the woman beside him, despite her coarse cloth clothing, couldn't conceal her naturally beautiful, world-class face.

Moreover, her skin was like jade, more beautiful than peach blossoms, white tinged with red, crystal clear and translucent, like the bright moon in the sky.

This person was none other than Jingni, the defector from Luo Net!

"If it weren't for the Lord's rescue back then, I'm afraid you and I would have already perished at Tian Meng's hands."

"Who would have thought that he would actually want to collude with Luo Net and seize the position of Xia Kui of the Nong Family."

"He truly deserves to die!!!"

A wisp of killing intent suddenly appeared in Jingni's beautiful eyes, making the surroundings seem like a freezing winter, the coldness chilling to the bone.

"The Nong Family is the largest school among the various schools of thought, and even the Great Qin Dynasty fears them a little."

"Over the years, we've been secretly dealing with Motun Budong City."

"Even they don't know the young master's whereabouts."

"It seems the young master truly isn't within the borders of the Great Qin anymore!"

Tian Yan's eyebrows furrowed slightly, her eyes filled with water-like affection, and she spoke with immense longing.

"No matter what, the master will definitely return!"

Jingni watched her own daughter fall into the trap of love, and a slight sigh escaped her lips as she spoke with a determined expression.

"When the young master returns, if he sees me controlling the entire Nong Family to serve him, he will cherish me even more."

Tian Yan was completely unlike her usual calm and wise self, acting like a young woman in love, considering everything for her beloved.

Her clear, pitiful eyes were filled with immense anticipation.

"If we join forces, even if all six elders of the Nong Family arrive and set up the Earth Marsh Twenty-Four Formation, we will still be fearless."

Jingni nodded lightly upon hearing this, her eyes filled with a confidence beyond imagination.

Back then, she already possessed the strength of a top-tier expert. Now, with her cultivation becoming even more profound, even the most mysterious Yanri was not her opponent.

Adding a stronger Tian Yan to the mix...

They indeed had the right to be so arrogant!

"Recently, Yanri seems to have designs on the Nong Family. It seems Luo Net will eventually seek revenge."

"Especially now, with the support of Qin Emperor Ying Zheng, Luo Net has become even sharper than before."

Suddenly, Jingni seemed to think of something, her eyes deepening as she spoke.

"As long as the Nong Family doesn't openly resist the empire, Luo Net will at most use the forces within its organization to deal with us."

"Zhao Gao isn't yet qualified to mobilize a large army to threaten the Nong Family."

"A single hair can move the whole body. The current Great Qin Dynasty cannot needlessly force a confrontation with the largest school of thought among the Hundred Schools of Thought."

"Once that happens, I believe the anti-Qin forces and the other schools will feel their lips and teeth cold."

"Then, it will stir up even greater hidden dangers!"

Tian Yan's gaze was calm as she spoke in a light tone.

"That's right! Moreover, with our strength, what do we have to fear from Luo Net now?"

Jingni sneered, her eyes sharp as she spoke.

"The Six Swords Slaves are a killing weapon meticulously cultivated by Zhao Gao, capable of slaying even those at the Celestial Realm."

"Add to that Yanri, and the hidden strength of Luo Net..."

"We absolutely cannot afford to underestimate them!"

Hearing this, Tian Yan's beautiful eyes remained calm, her expression slightly grave as she spoke.

But after cultivating the Shennong Liuli Gong imparted by the young master, she no longer held much fear of Luo Net.

This profound inner energy cultivation method was far superior to any martial art she had ever known.

It was incredibly profound, with many similarities to the Nong Family's heritage.

However, its lofty concept and profound mysteries were truly astonishing.

After cultivating this martial art, Tian Yan was even confident that she could reach the Martial Saint realm.

Even higher levels!

Such a precious divine skill, and the young master was willing to teach it to her.

Whenever she thought of this, Tian Yan's heart would fill with sweetness.

Her beautiful, water-like eyes were filled with intense affection!
