Chapter 107 Crane Cry (5)
"Shu Su, draw your sword."
Shu Baoxiang had no expression on her face. She stood high in the sky, slowly raised her sword, and swung it casually. The sword energy was like a rainbow, suddenly breaking through the void. The moonlight was deep, the clouds and mist exploded, and for a moment, the rain and dew were shaken away.
The light was dancing in the sky, and she looked like a fairy from heaven under the moon, with a beautiful face and an imposing aura.
Shu Baoxiang looked at Shu Su calmly. She asked her brother, "Why didn't you wait for me to come back?"
She didn't ask [why I contracted my magic weapon].
That's a stupid question.
Whether it was that Faqi felt Shu Su was better and therefore switched to Mingzhu, or that Shu Su wanted to take over her Faqi, she was unwilling to accept either of the two answers that were closest to the truth.
Things have come to this point, come to this point——
The rage in her chest pressed down furiously, and all the grievances and hatred fermented into rising heat. She was enveloped in it and lost her mind. It only took a little spark for her body to explode completely!
In extreme anger, she suddenly felt that everything was meaningless.
Every time, there was something unexpected happening in her happy moment.
It was as if the heavens were rejecting her. As if she didn't deserve any favor.
Waiting, she was used to waiting, waiting for her mother's charity, waiting for others to turn their attention to her.
No one would wait for her. If she slowed down a step, she would be left behind.
Shu Baoxiang looked down at Shu Su who was retreating step by step. There was still a trace of innocent surprise on his face. Like a child whose candy was knocked away, he looked up at her in confusion and sadness, as if he was the one who was hurt and abandoned.
He wanted to explain.
Shu Baoxiang felt nauseous, and an indescribable emotion surged in her throat. She wanted to vomit, and her back was itchy and painful.
Every time, and this time was no exception, the final outcome was that she gave in.
Fixed ending, repeated again and again!
There were countless young and innocent faces. She was smiling, but her smile froze and she lowered her head and accepted her fate.
No matter how she argued, no matter how many words she spoke, it was all powerless. No matter what she said or how she begged, the final outcome was that she gave in. All her struggles and resistance were just "tricks" in the eyes of others. She was as funny as a monkey locked in a cage, chirping and making people laugh.
Shu Su still looked at her with that look, and the past scenes exploded in Shu Baoxiang's mind——
Shu Baoxiang suddenly wanted to kill Shu Su, and once the murderous intent appeared, he couldn't suppress it at all!
Kill him, kill this idiot. If I kill him, my mother will never look at me like that again. If I kill him, all the pain will end!
End it all
Shu Baoxiang gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, pointing the tip of the sword at Shu Su. The expression on her face was frighteningly cold. She really wanted to kill Shu Su!
Shu Su was still retreating. He was unwilling to draw his sword. He didn't want to hurt his own sister who had the same father and mother as him.
Next moment!
The sword light exploded! Wherever it went, everything was chopped into pieces. Shu Baoxiang slashed the sword recklessly.
The spirit stone shattered, and the sword wind swept past, rustling like fresh snow. With just the sword intent, Shu Su was repelled. He flew back like a crane, fell heavily to the ground, and spat out a mouthful of blood.
Blood, blood smells like rust
Shu Su half-knelt on the ground, holding the scabbard tightly with one hand, but he still refused to draw the sword.
"The Shu family's son is nothing special. The world-famous Shu Bingxin can't use a sword?"
From Jian Shiyuan's perspective, Shu Su looked very embarrassed.
The young man was trapped in the pure moonlight, which was like a cage, trapping him tightly and lengthening his thin shadow. There was still doubt in his eyes. He raised his head slightly, and the moonlight poured in. There was a flicker in his eyes, which might be the shaking of waves, or it might be tears.
The sky was filled with sword lights like thorns, and the sword energy swept around his side. His long hair was cut off by the sword energy, and the left side was longer and the right side was shorter, and his beauty was also majestic.
It's a really pretty face, but it's not suitable for this kind of expression.
He should be proud, smile frankly and sincerely, and be as warm as the sunshine.
Shu Baoxiang hated his innocent expression, she hated his ignorance!
"Come and fight!"
A strong wind blew, and Shu Baoxiang stepped on the wind and the moon. The thin sword reflected the moonlight, illuminating one of her eyes. There was no fear in her eyes, only the sword in her hand. The sword was like her, the sword was her -
"Such a surging sword intent——"
She's serious.
clang!
Shu Su still drew his sword. As soon as he drew his sword, Jian Shiyuan noticed the gap between them.
Shu Baoxiang's sword was powerful, like a sharp blade, rushing down with the power to destroy the world.
And Shu Su is "extremely gentle", like the grass growing in spring, with tender green sprouting from the cracks in the rocks, facing the endless pressure, turning the pressure into nutrients, and growing vigorously.
Shu Su, holding the sword, was too dazzling, so energetic, and so surrounded by stars.
It was visible to the naked eye that Shu Baoxiang's speed had slowed down.
Being too rigid will easily break. Shu Baoxiang swung his sword too fiercely, only wanting to kill, so he was at a disadvantage when facing Shu Su.
“It’s a pity that his life is not known in history books.”
The swords collided, sparks flew everywhere. Shu Baoxiang closed her fingers, brushed the blade, and approached with the sword. Her eyes were empty, as if she was caught in a false chaos, fighting entirely by her body's instinct. Shu Su stared at her closely, and her eyes were dark, reflecting his appearance faintly -
Cold as cracked jade.
Shu Su's sword trembled, and he wanted to step back, but unfortunately Shu Baoxiang grasped Shu Su's sword. She exerted force, and blood flowed out from between her fingers, drop by drop, splashing on the blade to form blood flowers.
She seemed to feel no pain. She was often seriously injured when she went out for trials. Her body had become accustomed to the pain. In battle, for her, there was only "win" or "die".
Staring at Shu Su's painful expression, Shu Baoxiang's mouth corners slowly curled up, and she imitated Shu Su and showed an innocent smile.
Shu Su's pupils trembled suddenly.
He didn't want to fight Shu Baoxiang, but he had to fight now.
There was a blood groove on Shu Su's long sword. Shu Baoxiang's blood flowed down the blade, staining his hand red. He held the hilt of the sword. The blood was too slippery, wet, greasy and sweet. He could hardly hold his sword.
"Then fight."
At this moment, Shu Su closed her eyes and heard only the clear cry of a crane!
Sword intent takes shape?
Jian Shiyuan watched Shu Su put his hands together, a beam of light was born in his palms, and a lifelike white crane shadow emerged where the long sword was suspended in the air.
"go."
Jian Shiyuan watched helplessly as the shadow of the white crane rushed towards Shu Baoxiang like a sharp arrow, carrying endless sword energy, accompanied by mournful cries, washing away and destroying him like a flood!
The Golden Chain of Laws is so cool to watch, I can't help but express my own opinions
[Tsk, this fancy move, this flashy hammer, are you listening to me? Why are you watching so hard? But a sword-like form-shifting move, you can do it too.]
Jian Shiyuan calmly replied, "Learning never ends."
[Even if you learn it, you won't need it. Do you still intend to practice like a human cultivator? The seed's divine power will naturally grow. Once you gain more authority—]
Before he finished speaking, Jian Shiyuan laughed, and his laughter interrupted the endless preaching of the Golden Chain of Laws.
"Don't be so utilitarian. I learn new knowledge because I enjoy the process of learning. Don't you think it's interesting?"
Golden Chain of Law
I finally understand why you haven't lit up the holy sign related to scholars. Logically, a seed as knowledgeable as you should easily light up the holy sign related to knowledge.
"Um?"
The birth of the Holy Name requires strong emotional stimulation. You enjoy the learning process and do not feel annoyed or bored. This kind of calm and stable emotion cannot support the cohesion of the Holy Name.
Jian Shiyuan listened silently and responded to the golden chain of laws with a "hmm". His eyes were still looking at Shu Su. The picture in his eyes changed rapidly. He carefully pondered the moves of Shu Su and Shu Baoxiang, and automatically looked for their loopholes in his mind.
Shu Baoxiang blocked Shu Su's attack. She was extremely skilled in formations. In a breath, she set up a killing formation.
Millions of sword shadows transformed into giant dragons, hovering overhead. Instantly, green sword energy roared towards them. They were sharper than blades, almost becoming a physical entity. Shu Baoxiang stood at the center of the formation, starlight shimmering around her. She took a deep breath.
Suddenly, the entire magic circle exploded, and the giant dragon transformed from the sword shadow rushed towards Shu Su!
Boom!
Under the blazing light, Shu Su remained motionless, his sleeves fluttering, his robes rustling in the wind. As the dragon charged, Shu Su simply extended his hand, and with a single flick of his hand, the dragon strangely froze in mid-air, unable to attack again.
With just one finger, he easily dissolved Shu Baoxiang's killing formation.
The wind whistled past——
Under the moonlight, Shu Su's eyebrows and eyes were cold, and at first glance, she looked like broken jade.
If Shu Su was talented and dazzling when she was revising the poem, then Shu Su at this moment was the most beautiful woman in the world, and no one would forget her after just one glimpse of her.
Shu Baoxiang's pupils shrank when she saw her killing array was easily dissolved. She did not retreat, but was aroused by Shu Su's calmness.
Shu Su finally got serious. She had wanted to compete with him for a long time!
"ice."
The long sword froze into ice, freezing her entire right arm along with it. Shu Baoxiang held her breath and madly absorbed the spiritual power of heaven and earth. Suddenly, a strong wind howled. She raised her arm, a crazy smile appeared on the corner of her mouth, and bright red blood slowly seeped out of her back, and the healed scar was torn again.
The ice-blue sword light shook the heavens and the earth, forming an endless wave of sound. This wave followed another, with Shu Baoxiang as the center, surging like a flood, rushing towards Shu Su.
"Goodbye, brother."
boom!
Something was blown to pieces, and a piece of the fancy earrings as silver as moonlight was cut off. Whoosh, it just hit Jian Shiyuan. Jian Shiyuan watched it fly and fall.
After the huge earthquake, the world was dead silent.
The Golden Chain of Law sighed
"Even close relatives can fight like this? A fight to the death. Humans are just pathetic creatures. Ultimately, they're just beads. So what if they let him fight?"
Jian Shiyuan looked up at the moon. No matter how humans fought, it hung in the sky, neither sad nor happy.
"What Shu Baoxiang cared about wasn't the bead, but equality and promises. Shu Su promised her that he would wait for her to return, but when she did, he quietly contracted his spoils. For Shu Baoxiang, the heartbreak wasn't the loss of the spoils, but Shu Su's broken promise. This was the final blow that pushed her into the abyss."
[Isn't she used to being disappointed? What's the big deal if she's disappointed again? Why make such a fuss?]
Waves of air rolled outward, bringing with them gusts of wind.
Jian Shiyuan habitually raised the corners of his mouth, but then remembered something and the smile disappeared. "If I'm always disappointed, will I be disappointed forever? What kind of logic is this?"
He said slowly and calmly, "There has never been such a rule."
[Who do you think will win?]
"If Shu Su is not dead, then he wins. Shu Baoxiang has murderous intentions, but Shu Su doesn't."
The flying dust finally settled, and Jian Shiyuan could see the battle scene in front of him clearly again.
Shu Baoxiang's ice sword pierced Shu Su's right shoulder blade, and they hugged each other tightly.
Shu Baoxiang buried her head in Shu Su's neck and bit his flesh hard. Blood flowed into her mouth, and their blood mixed together. Even the taste of their blood was similar. They were such close relatives. They had never been so close before.
When Shu Su breathed, she could also feel the strength of Shu Baoxiang's breathing. The heat from their bodies was transmitted to each other, as if they were back in their childhood, sleeping in each other's arms.
Shu Baoxiang wanted to kill Shu Su, but for some reason, her sword avoided Shu Su's Qi and only pierced his shoulder blade.
After venting her anger, Shu Baoxiang tasted her brother's blood and cried and laughed. She hugged Shu Su's head and cried with her face up. She asked again and again, "Why didn't you wait for me?"
You are all I have.
Shu Su finally couldn't bear to hurt Shu Baoxiang, and with the final blow, he let go of the sword in his hand.
The blood was too slippery and he couldn't hold the hilt of the sword.
"I"
Shu Su wanted to say something, but he couldn't.
He didn't know what to say. He couldn't say that the magic weapon thought he was better and voluntarily recognized him as its master. Such truth would hurt Shu Baoxiang, who was so proud.
Shu Baoxiang couldn't say it either, she felt it was difficult to talk about it.
She didn't want to be like a fragile little girl, crying and complaining to her brother about injustice. Complaining was a privilege for children. She had grown up.
The two missed the last chance to reveal their true feelings. Everything was sliding towards the abyss, and no one could stop the predetermined fate.
Leaning on Shu Su's shoulder, Shu Baoxiang finally mustered up some courage and asked, "Why didn't it choose me?"
Am I not good enough? Am I not as good as you?
If I am not as good as you, I will accept my fate and concentrate on protecting you from now on. In my mother's heart, I can only be a tool anyway.
Tools must accept their fate.
Shu Su tried hard to force a smile and joked like she always did, trying to dodge the topic. "Ah, that's because it likes me. After all, I'm pretty, who wouldn't like me?"
Yes, everyone around him likes him, and this is a reasonable reason.
Shu Baoxiang didn't smile, she just looked into his eyes quietly, she didn't say anything.
Shu Su became less and less confident as he spoke, and after a long time, he finally thought of another reason.
A really stupid reason.
"Because you are a female cultivator, it is only willing to contract with male cultivators."
Because you are a nun
female nun
ha?
"Hahaha--"
Shu Baoxiang laughed wildly, tears streaming down her face. She held Shu Su's neck tightly, and the louder she laughed, the bigger the wound on her spine became.
Quelling the Qingzhou ghost rebellion wasn't as easy as she'd made it sound. Shu Baoxiang remembered Shu Su's teachings, never harming innocent people. In her efforts to save the civilians, she was severely injured. A ghost general, using a trick, attacked her from behind, nearly cleaving her in half. She'd almost died there.
She rushed back as soon as she had the wound on her back stitched up. She knew someone was waiting for her at home and she wanted to celebrate her birthday with him.
More blood spilled out, staining her dress red.
[Brother, this is the only gain I got from this trip]
"Ha ha!"
Shu Su was held in her arms, leaning against Shu Baoxiang's chest. He could feel the terrifying trembling, and strange sounds coming out of Shu Baoxiang's chest. Shu Su had never heard such a weird laugh. It seemed that from this moment on, he would lose his only sister forever, and he could not do anything to save her.
Shu Baoxiang had laughed enough and couldn't laugh anymore.
She stretched out her hand, her fingers trembling, as she stroked the remaining half of Shu Su's earring. She had once given Shu Su a pair of earrings with red and bright patterns, which he never took off and wore no matter what the occasion.
Now, the earring was cut in half by her. It was broken and she had no intention of repairing it.
She gently stroked the silver half, then pulled it off!
"I gave you that bead. If I break one of your ornaments, I'll give you another one."
As she spoke, Shu Baoxiang pushed Shu Su away, stood up shakily, and walked forward. After a few steps, she felt that she had taken the wrong road, so she walked east again. After a few more steps, she turned her head.
Under the moonlight, her back was blood red. She looked at Shu Su and said slowly in an indescribable tone, "If I were your brother and you were my sister, I would definitely take good care of you."
Why, on what basis!
The moonlight is always quiet, witnessing everything but remaining indifferent.
Jian Shiyuan is not Moonlight. Even if he has lost his feelings, it is not difficult for him to extricate himself from this coincidental tragedy. Shu Su and Shu Baoxiang could have had countless possibilities, but they chose a two-way path, ultimately choosing a path of no return.
One wrong step leads to all wrong.
The scene is about to enter another node. Jian Shiyuan looks at Shu Baoxiang. She walks away step by step. Suddenly, Jian Shiyuan thinks of the poem "I would rather die hugging the fragrant branch". Has fate already written the ending since then?
Before he could sigh, the fragments of memory were like travelers in a hurry, hurriedly rolling up one story while another slowly unfolded.
Shu Baoxiang injured Shu Su's right shoulder blade. This minor injury was nothing in the eyes of a cultivator and could be cured with just a magic pill. But for some reason, Shu Su escaped from the fight.
The maids were very anxious when they couldn't find Shu Su. They had no choice but to find Shu Baoxiang to report the situation.
The Shu family spearheads this once-a-decade competition for disciples, attracting numerous participants, including many elite members of top families. It's truly a gathering of heroes, a feast for thousands of cultivators. The victorious disciples will be intensively trained by major sects and families, a true talent search for the immortal world.
The trials consist of both literary and martial arts competitions. The best performers are eligible to enter the secret realm arranged by the Shu family, where countless spiritual materials and treasures are available for those with a strong affinity and high skills to fight for. As the host, all Shu family members must participate; anyone who evades the competition will be considered a "defection."
At the very least, one will be thrown into family purgatory and suffer the pain of piercing cold.
In serious cases, one’s spiritual roots will be destroyed and the family will be expelled.
If nothing unexpected happens, an elite young man like Shu Su should be able to defeat all opponents in the competition, seize the championship, and enhance the prestige of the Shu family.
But he escaped, defecting without any reason.
[Choosing to escape at the slightest setback is truly unbearable!]
The Golden Chain of Laws despises weak people the most. Whether it is Paviloin or Jian Shiyuan, they are all warriors who face challenges head-on and become braver as the battle goes on. In the eyes of the Golden Chain of Laws, the brave can only move forward.
"This isn't escapism; this is weak love. Now, he's willing to give up everything for his sister. Giving up the competition means giving up his prominent position and his former glory. He thinks Shu Baoxiang's emotional breakdown is because he's standing in her way, and he wants to make room for her."
How could Zhuzi have contracted him? Isn't Shu Baoxiang stronger than such a weak and foolish human cultivator? Even if she faces a 100% chance of death against the enemy today, Shu Baoxiang will not flee. She will die on the stage!
Jian Shiyuan lowered his eyelashes. "Why contract him? Because he's strong, and the system selects the best."
"Shu Su's journey has been too smooth. Just like he said, 'Everyone likes him.' He's untouched by the vicissitudes of life, naive and immature. He doesn't understand or comprehend what Shu Baoxiang wants. He can only give her the best he can, but Shu Baoxiang doesn't want these things. The more he retreats, the more insulting it is to Shu Baoxiang."
"If he had defeated Shu Baoxiang fairly, they would never have reached this point. Shu Baoxiang believes in the strong. She just hates sexism, but Shu Su found the worst excuse and completely ignited Shu Baoxiang's anger."
Jian Shiyuan was talking to the Golden Chain of Laws, and Shu Baoxiang also finished listening to the maid's report.
She was silent for a long time, but finally made up her mind, "Leave our clothes behind, and I'll go find him."
The maid breathed a sigh of relief, kowtowed and wiped her tears, and left the clothes with profuse gratitude.
Shu Baoxiang first looked through her own dress, and sure enough, it had white crane patterns, plain shark gauze, and accessories with various crane patterns. She found it boring, so she went to get Shu Su's robe.
The competition among young disciples, held every ten years, has complicated rules and regulations, including strict regulations on clothing. The clothing of the legitimate children of the main line of the clan, such as Shu Baoxiang and Shu Su, is the most exaggerated and gorgeous, and each decoration has a unique meaning. For example, Shu Su's jade crown is made of black ice that has not melted for thousands of years. It is exquisitely crystal clear in the sunlight, but it reveals a metallic texture in the moonlight.
Shu Baoxiang picked up Shu Su's outer robe. It was white, embroidered with gold, and had a fine texture. At the very bottom, a golden white crane pattern was embroidered. This unique pattern, crafted by hundreds of embroidery slaves over a period of months, revealed different patterns in different lighting conditions. At dawn, white cranes spread their wings. At noon, they soared. At dusk, they rested. At night, under the moonlight, white cranes danced gracefully.
A pattern appears from time to time, ostentatious and dazzling.
Shu Baoxiang stroked the exquisite and complicated men's robe in front of her, and then reached for Shu Su's jade crown. Suddenly, she laughed.
[What is she doing? Why has she changed?]
Shu Baoxiang swallowed the pill. No one knew what method she used, but her whole face was twisted in pain. The strange changes were visible to the naked eye. She looked like a melted wax figure, her body soft and her facial features disordered. She was obviously in so much pain that she gritted her teeth, but she endured the pain and kept stroking her cheeks, following the contours and shaping her appearance.
"Muscle Melting Pill? No, Muscle Melting Pill cannot completely change the human skeleton. She raised herself to a higher level. Is this the lost Bone Shaping Pill?"
Rumor has it that the Bone Shaping Pill can reshape a person's entire skeleton. If used by a close relative, they can completely transform into their loved one. This method of transformation is extremely painful, requiring the user to break all bones and then crush every inch of muscle. This kind of pain is unbearable for ordinary people. It is rumored that someone died during the process of shaping. Due to the extreme pain of using it, the Bone Shaping Pill gradually became lost.
Shu Baoxiang molded herself into the appearance of Shu Su. Her face was pale, and she was sweating profusely. She leaned back in a chair to rest.
Although she was in so much pain, there was a gleam in her eyes. She reached out and tightly grasped Shu Su's outer robe.
She changed into Shu Su's clothes.
The layers of plain robes are like a light cloud. The three layers inside and three layers outside do not appear cumbersome, but instead set off her jade-like figure. She wears her hair in a bun and a crown, and slightly lowers her head to wear earrings, a headdress, a necklace, and hand ornaments.
The collision of gold and jade makes a crisp sound.
Outside the hall, a maid was knelt and apologized, and her words seemed to urge Shu Su to go on stage. She knew that Shu Su had to go on stage.
She did not feel fear, but instead felt free, a sense of ease she had never felt before, even her breathing became light.
For the happiness of this moment, she is willing to die in the next second.
[She wants to replace Shu Su? Great!]
"No, she wanted to save him. Shu Su's refusal to participate in the competition would be considered as defection. In order to protect Shu Su, she chose to pretend to be his brother and participate in the competition on his behalf."
Shu Baoxiang still cares about Shu Su. She doesn't want to see Shu Su being humiliated or punished, so she takes a risk and uses the bone-shaping pill to reshape her appearance and pretends to be Shu Su to participate in the competition.
This plan was incredibly bold. Many of the monks overseeing the competition were high-ranking monks, and if she were discovered, she would be punished. Furthermore, to pretend to be someone else, she would need to be familiar with their fighting techniques. Any misstep would expose her.
What's worse is that Shu Baoxiang also wants to participate in the competition, which means that after fighting a round for Shu Su, she will have to use the bone-shaping pill to reshape her appearance and fight again as Shu Baoxiang.
If she was seriously injured while fighting on behalf of Shu Su, the consequences can be imagined. Even if her fake identity was not discovered, she would hardly have the strength to fight again.
"Shu Su" may win, but Shu Baoxiang will definitely lose.
Shu Baoxiang chose to give up her own future, just like Shu Su gave up the competition.
So lonely and brave.
Before leaving, Shu Baoxiang picked up the white crane mask and put it on her face. The white crane mask was placed sideways, covering her right eye and half of her face. She took a deep breath and pushed open the door of the palace.
Outside the hall, the sun shone brightly. Shu Baoxiang stood facing the light, her long hair hanging lightly, her expression unsettling.
The competition platform is set up in the sky. Due to its special material, it has the light of fluorite and the feel of jade, like a full moon hanging in the sky.
A young girl in a red dress had long been standing on the stage, carrying a heavy sword and stamping her feet in dissatisfaction. She shouted to the Shu elders on the martial arts viewing platform, "Where's Shu Su? What is he still dawdling about? I've been waiting for a long time."
The girl had a pair of peach blossom eyes, and her eyes were full of spirit when she spoke. She was extremely beautiful, with fair skin, red lips, and thick black hair. Her tone was smiling and coquettish, and she sounded like she was being coquettish, but the elders were not angry.
She is the elite disciple of this competition, Pei Zhenchao from the main branch of the Pei family.
"Here I come."
"It's Shu Su!"
It finally came out after much anticipation.
Cheers erupted all around. Pei Zhenchao looked up suddenly, only to see a figure approaching on the wind. She couldn't make out the man's face clearly, but she found it particularly distasteful. Was this her opponent? The Shu Su who had made her wait for two quarters of an hour?
The referee has not yet announced the start of the competition.
A fiery red figure flashed to Shu Baoxiang's side. Pei Zhenchao said without further ado, "Look at the sword!"
The girl swung the heavy sword like a wheel, smashing it straight into Shu Baoxiang's face.
Shu Baoxiang flashed, and the sword energy blew up her lower robe. Pei Zhenchao looked up and only saw half of her white and smooth chin. Shu Baoxiang wanted to end the battle quickly, so her move was extremely cruel. She chopped down a sword in the air, pointing it directly at Pei Zhenchao's face.
The sword energy transformed into a ray of light, cutting off a section of Pei Zhenchao's hair. She collapsed and screamed, "You dare to hit me in the face? You bastard!"
Shu Baoxiang found it amusing. The girl was noisy and lively like a pigeon, but Shu Baoxiang didn't dislike it.
Pei Zhenchao made a hand gesture, and several thin gold bracelets on her wrists were blown by the strong wind, making tinkling sounds.
A scarlet sword beam rushed towards Shu Baoxiang. Pei Zhen pointed his feet and, like a dove, bravely smashed towards Shu Baoxiang along with the sword beam.
The scarlet sword light shot straight into the sky, and the aftermath made the monks on the martial arts viewing platform look ugly.
Shu Baoxiang was not afraid of this extreme and brutal force. She faced the sword light, turned her wrist slightly, and swung out a sword light.
The golden chain of law interrupts at the right time
[Who do you think will win?]
Jian Shiyuan didn't hesitate, "Shu Baoxiang."
Shu Baoxiang was in good shape. She enjoyed fighting and became braver as the battle went on. Pei Zhenchao was good with the heavy sword, but there was still a gap compared to Shu Baoxiang.
really.
After the stern sword light faded, Pei Zhenchao fell into a disadvantage. She still needed to accumulate spiritual power, but Shu Baoxiang was like a ghost, flashing left and right, harassing her with the sword from time to time. Shu Baoxiang was a woman, so naturally she didn't need to avoid suspicion, and she forgot to do so.
Several times, her sword light attacked Pei Zhenchao's slender waist, thighs, and chest.
Pei Zhenchao was so angry that he felt embarrassed and irritated, and kept on cursing, calling people "pervert" and "bastard".
[After changing her appearance, she started to act like a hooligan. This is really - making good use of her identity.]
Jian Shiyuan could see that Shu Baoxiang was in a good mood. She liked her male identity very much, as it made her feel free.
The battle after that didn't feel like a battle anymore, it was more like Shu Baoxiang teasing Pei Zhenchao, not harming her life but making her angry, watching her swing her sword again and again in anger, each time almost succeeding.
Pei Zhenchao was almost crying with anger. She had never seen such a male cultivator before. The brothers and sisters around her were all very considerate of her and had never been so rude.
Are you teasing the dog?
Pei Zhenchao gritted her teeth and decided to use her ultimate move. She whistled softly, and three Pei Zhenchaos instantly appeared on the stage, attacking Shu Baoxiang at the same time.
"Go to hell, you bastard!"
Shu Baoxiang raised the corner of her mouth slightly. She could tell which one was the real Pei Zhenchao, but she didn't want to say it so quickly. She was interested in following Pei Zhenchao around on the stage, her clothes fluttering, and she looked ethereal like a fairy.
Pei Zhenchao was a straightforward person, not stupid. When he found that his attacks had failed and that "Shu Su" in front of him was not sure whether to smile or not, he immediately became so angry that the corners of his eyes turned red.
"Playing tricks on me!"
The spiritual energy split into two roaring streams and rushed out. Pei Zhenchao raised his sword with a fierce sword intent.
Shu Baoxiang didn't want to continue. She used her sword as a finger and pointed at the air. Several beams of light surrounded Pei Zhenchao.
The knowledgeable monks present immediately shouted
"The Dragon Trapping Formation! It's the Kaiyuan Sect's secret formation, the Dragon Trapping Formation!"
"Rumor has it that Concubine Feng used this formation to strangle tens of thousands of demons!"
"This child is incredibly talented. With a son like him, why worry about the rise and fall of the Shu family?"
Pei Zhen looked up. She was locked in the formation. On the competition stage, life or death was irrelevant. She was ready to die. At this moment, she stared at Shu Baoxiang with red eyes, feeling pity for her.
For some reason, maybe because he was in a very good mood, Shu Baoxiang didn't attack her.
Shu Baoxiang waved her palm, and the wind from her palm blew across Pei Zhenchao's cheek, and she took off her bright red hairpin.
Pei Zhenchao's long hair was loose, making her red dress look even hotter than fire. She looked at Shu Baoxiang in disbelief and disbelief, her heart pounding.
She had never felt this before, and her earlobes slowly turned red.
Shu Baoxiang slowly descended, holding a hairpin in her hand. The layers of her white robe were like a blooming flower. She wore a white crane mask and her figure was as white as jade. Just standing there made people feel ashamed.
Pei Zhen looked at her, reluctant to blink.
Shu Baoxiang handed the hairpin to Pei Zhenchao and said the first words between them, "Thank you."
Pei Zhenchao slowly raised her hand. She looked at Shu Baoxiang and suddenly blushed. She took off the jade pendant from her waist and threw it to Shu Baoxiang. She grabbed the hairpin and jumped off the stage like a frightened pigeon.
The red dress was more powerful than fire and disappeared in a leap.
Shu Baoxiang was left alone in shock, holding the jade pendant, not knowing what to do.
If a woman from an aristocratic family falls in love with a man, she will give him a jade pendant that she wears close to her body. If a man is interested, he can propose marriage with the jade pendant.
Seeing this scene, the cultivators shouted and made a fuss, thinking that the Pei and Shu families were going to marry again.
