He really wanted to say that Zhu Bi did all this for A Wan.

However, the thought that the Zhubi could be revived would be unrealistic, given that it would be thousands of years later.

Zhu Bi did this, undoubtedly only for his own benefit.

Little did he know that this one wrong step would cost him his life.

"Who is the Gu Master?" Awan's cold gaze swept over the others.

Those people all had smiles on their faces, and not one of them stepped forward to admit it.

"Awan, don't waste your breath on these people, just kill them all," Shangguan Hongyu said.

Upon hearing this, Mai Rufeng chuckled and said, "This little beauty has quite the big mouth. Has she not cleaned her mouth in a long time?"

Shangguan Hongyu said calmly, "It's only ten thousand years."

"Haha..." Mai Rufeng's laughter was forced, because he didn't find Shangguan Hongyu's joke funny at all.

Awan slowly drew her long sword, feeling that Shangguan Hongyu was right; all these people should be killed.

She wasn't familiar with Mai Rufeng, only knowing that Mai Rufeng's character had always been bad.

But when it comes to matters of principle, she believes that Mai Rufeng, like all the demon hunters in Shenxiangou, can distinguish between what is important and what is not.

"Senior brother, don't disbelieve me. Killing you would be as easy as turning your hand." Awan had never thought of killing Mai Rufeng.

She would rather believe that Mai Rufeng was merely being used by Zhu Bi than that Mai Rufeng had deceived and bewitched Zhu Bi.

The people cooking in the kitchen also came out at that moment.

The food wasn't ready yet, but the commotion in the yard forced them to come out and deal with the immediate problem before they could sit down and have a proper meal.

"Should we fight?" someone asked, looking at Mai Rufeng.

Mai Rufeng laughed and said, "Go ahead and fight. It seems we have no choice but to fight. But there's one thing you must remember: you absolutely cannot hurt my junior sister."

Those people all chuckled coldly, their smiles concealing the utmost filth.

Mai Rufeng then beckoned to Awan and said with a smile, "Junior sister, why don't you come over and stand next to your senior brother? It'll save you from getting hurt if we fight. After all, your senior brother loves you the most, and he will take good care of you too."

Awan's hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

Just as she remembered, Mai Rufeng was a man of extremely poor character.

Mai Rufeng's expression grew increasingly lewd, and he even cast that lewd gaze at Shangguan Hongyu and Liu Yi.

Compared to those two unfamiliar beauties, Awan was really too ordinary.

But since he knows Awan and they are fellow disciples, it would be even more exciting to do that kind of thing.

Swish.

Unable to bear it any longer, Awan swiftly thrust her sword at Mai Rufeng.

Mai Rufeng clicked his tongue and said, "Junior sister, it's not even dark yet, are you already in such a hurry?"

While teasing her, he also drew his long sword and lightly blocked, thus neutralizing Awan's extremely fierce attack.

But Awan's attacks became increasingly fierce, one sword strike after another, filling the sky with dazzling sword shadows.

"So her sword can be fast." Dugu Qiusheng was very surprised.

When Awan attacked Shangguan Hongyu earlier, her sword speed was so slow it was frustrating.

But look at Awan at this moment, every sword strike is as swift as lightning and as powerful as thunder.

Liu Yi said, "Fast doesn't necessarily mean better."

Awan's choice of the fast sword might simply be due to a somewhat unbalanced mindset.

Shangguan Hongyu nodded and said, "Awan's slow sword is more difficult to deal with than her fast sword."

But this doesn't mean her fast sword technique is weak.

In fact, Ah Wan's swordsmanship was extremely skillful. Although it seemed to be of the same lineage as Mai Rufeng's swordsmanship, it was quite different.

Shenxian Valley is inhabited by both men and women, and the sword techniques and magic they practice are not entirely the same.

At that moment, Mai Rufeng was caught off guard and was struck in the shoulder by a sword. His clothes were torn open and blood gushed out.

"I never expected that after so many years, my junior sister's martial arts have improved so much." Mai Rufeng was actually shocked. He hadn't taken Awan seriously at first, but after exchanging blows, he realized that Awan's strength was far above his own.

Although both of them were in the Nascent Soul Realm, he was only in the early stage of the Nascent Soul Realm, while Awan was already in the late stage of the Nascent Soul Realm. Although they had not crossed over, the difference between them was not small.

"Killing you is enough." Awan's voice was as cold as ice, and her sword movements suddenly slowed down.

This sudden change of tactics caught Mai Rufeng completely off guard.

Faced with Awan's slow sword strikes, Mai Rufeng was horrified to find that he was unable to cope.

In the blink of an eye, his body was covered in even more wounds.

Ah Wan didn't just use a slow sword all the time; instead, she began to switch freely between fast and slow sword techniques, leaving Mai Rufeng with no chance to resist.

Mai Rufeng's wounds multiplied, and his complexion grew increasingly grim.

"Are you just going to stand by and watch someone die?" Mai Rufeng was obviously saying this to the others.

Among those people, there was very likely a Gu master who had cast a Gu spell on Zhu Bi.

Ironically, some people on the mainland choose to become Gu practitioners, hoping to create miracles in the future. However, those Gu masters never use Gu to seek immortality, simply because they know that using Gu to seek immortality is utter nonsense.

"No chance left." Awan's swordplay suddenly accelerated from slow to fast.

With a single sword stroke, blood gushed from Mai Rufeng's throat, his eyes widened, and he slowly collapsed.

Even on his deathbed, he couldn't believe that with his strength, he would be completely defeated by Awan.

You should know that when they were learning their skills from their master, A-Wan was the dumbest one among them. Plus, she was young and was often bullied by them.

But Awan had always worked harder than them. No one knew what kind of magic pill she had taken, but one day her cultivation level suddenly improved by leaps and bounds, causing a great sensation in Shenxian Valley.

Seeing Mai Rufeng killed, those people remained calm. They had already received their due rewards, and they would never get involved in the internal struggles among the demon hunters of Shenxian Gou.
