Han Qingxiu herself was also frightened.
After all, this sword strike was truly astonishing; the exposed sword energy soared straight into the sky, actually severing the clouds above the heavens.
Unfortunately, the sword strike went slightly astray, severing only a small portion of Dongfang Yan's body.
Actually, it wasn't just half of his body, but an arm and most of his shoulder.
"Xiuer, isn't this buff fun?" Paper doll Wu Er jumped off the Wujian Sword and returned to Han Qingxiu's shoulder. "If my real body were here, I could give you an even more powerful buff."
As the sword light in the sky slowly dissipated, the voices of the people in the city gradually quieted down.
The wounded Dongfang Yan stopped wailing, the Pengshan cultivators who dared to come stopped exclaiming in surprise, and the mortals in the city knelt on the ground and stopped making sounds of worship.
Han Qingxiu swayed as she put down the sword, her head covered in sweat and her face filled with disbelief.
"Master, does even a wisp of your divine soul possess such power?"
Han Qingxiu gained a new understanding of just how powerful the immortals were.
"Of course not, because the Sword of No Return is here. I resonated with the Sword of No Return for a moment, and then released some sword energy, ouch~"
Wu Er's voice sounded somewhat lazy, and he yawned from time to time.
It seems that even using only a wisp of divine soul, and adding a buff from thousands of miles away, has made Wu Er feel somewhat tired.
However, although he was tired, it was only a little bit.
Wu Er stretched lazily on Han Qingxiu's shoulder and then said, "Xiuer, go check if that Dongfang Yan is dead or not. If he's still going strong, I'll give you another buff."
With such a powerful master, Han Qingxiu felt confident and turned to look at Dongfang Yan.
At this moment, Dongfang Yan was missing an arm, and blood was flowing continuously from the severed wound.
Even though he used his magic to tighten the wound, blood still flowed out.
Perhaps because he had lost too much blood, Dongfang Yan's face was very pale.
"Go, and I'll spare your life."
Han Qingxiu loosened her grip on the Wujian Sword slightly. Although she did hate Dongfang Yan, she herself was unharmed, but he was already crippled.
Han Qingxiu thought that giving him a lesson would be enough, and she would try not to kill him if possible.
Although Han Qingxiu wanted to let Dongfang Yan go, Wu Er didn't think so.
An immortal who has lived for seven hundred years can naturally see through Dongfang Yan's true nature. If you show leniency towards such a person, you will face crazy retaliation in the future.
Wu Er was kind back then, but in the end...
"Xiuer, don't be soft-hearted. Some people can't be kept around."
As the master, Wu Er felt that he couldn't let his apprentice follow in his footsteps.
Hearing the telepathic message, Han Qingxiu was puzzled and asked, "Master, when you established the sect and set forth its doctrines, didn't you often say that the benevolent are invincible? Isn't bypassing him benevolent?"
These words left Wu Er speechless, and he thought to himself: I really want to slap my past self to death! What was I thinking back then?
In my past arrogance, I always thought that benevolence could change the world, but after trying it, I was utterly defeated by reality.
It's good to teach the disciples some things. They've stayed in Pengshan Sect for too long and can't understand the cruelty of the outside world.
However, just as the two were talking, a group of people flew in from the horizon. These were the Nascent Soul cultivators from Pengshan Sect.
"Qingxiu, are you hurt?"
"Oh, so you dare to injure our sect leader's disciple?!"
When the cultivators saw Han Qingxiu, they all put on panicked faces.
They even showered her with concern, as if they cared deeply about Han Qingxiu.
Regardless of what these people are really thinking, they just need to make their stance clear on the surface.
After a round of concern and greetings, the Pengshan cultivators turned their attention to Dongfang Yan.
Seeing Dongfang Yan's miserable state, and recalling the soaring sword energy they had just witnessed, these guys who were good at reading the situation began to have their own ideas.
In a battle between a Nascent Soul cultivator and a Golden Core cultivator, the chances of the Golden Core cultivator winning are normally very small.
If Han Qingxiu is to defeat Dongfang Yan, she must have a powerful treasure or someone protecting her.
Regardless of the situation, it shows that the sect leader values this disciple highly.
Since the sect leader values this, then we must flatter him thoroughly. Who knows, the sect leader might be watching his disciple from a thousand miles away?
After thinking all this through, these people started to flatter him.
As for this kind of flattery?
There are two main methods: praise and criticism.
This praise was naturally directed at Han Qingxiu.
These two insults were, of course, directed at Dongfang Yan.
The praise has already been given, so all that's left is to criticize.
"Who are you to dare to mess with the disciples of Pengshan?"
"He looks so treacherous, he's absolutely disgusting!"
"Hmph, enough talk, just kill him."
The monks started cursing and swearing, completely abandoning all decorum.
Han Qingxiu was taken aback when she saw a group of elders cursing.
Because in her mind, the elders of Pengshan Sect all had an air of otherworldly elegance and aloofness, so how could they possibly be cursing?
However, this is the current situation; perhaps because of the different status, people see things differently.
For this group of "elders" now.
Image?
No one's image is as important as flattering the sect leader!
And their insults were quite amusing; they were truly the kind of insults a gentleman would use.
What is the gentleman's way of cursing?
Of course, a gentleman uses words, not fists!
These Nascent Soul cultivators kept shouting that they wanted to kill Dongfang Yan, but they didn't actually make a move.
