The day after arriving home, Liu Xiaoyuan didn't go anywhere; he simply stayed home and rested comfortably for the entire day.
Now that the system's ridiculous task is complete and the man under the Demon-Suppressing Stone has been dealt with, Liu Xiaoyuan can finally relax.
Having stolen half a day of leisure, Liu Xiaoyuan thought, why not take this opportunity to rest properly?
Rest time always flies by, and before you know it, it's evening.
Just as Liu Xiaoyuan was about to go to bed, his phone rang. He took it out and saw that it was Lu Siyao calling.
"Hey, Siyao, what's up?" Lu Siyao is calling me so late, something must have happened, otherwise she wouldn't be calling me.
Lu Siyao said, "Xiao Yuan, come over here right away! Something's happened to my sister-in-law, come over here right away!"
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately asked, "Siyao, tell me slowly, what exactly happened to your sister-in-law?"
Lu Siyao said, "Just now, my sister-in-law and I were coming back from outside when we encountered a strange man on the road who kidnapped my sister-in-law."
Upon hearing Lu Siyao's words, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately told Lu Siyao to wait, and then flew away.
Upon arriving at Lu Siyao's location, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately asked, "Where are the people who took my sister-in-law?"
Lu Siyao said, "I followed him all the way here in this mountain."
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately said to Lu Siyao, "Siyao, the person who kidnapped my sister-in-law must be quite capable. You wait here for me and be careful. I'm going to meet him."
Lu Siyao didn't act childishly. Knowing that going with her would only be a burden, she listened to Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "Alright, Xiaoyuan, be careful!"
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "Don't worry, I'll be careful. Siyao, you need to be careful too, okay?"
After giving the instructions, Liu Xiaoyuan immediately flew towards the mountains. As soon as he released his divine sense, he spotted Zhang Qian and the man who had kidnapped her.
Zhang Qian was being carried on the man's shoulder, completely unconscious. The man was about thirty years old, and his cultivation level was the same as Liu Xiaoyuan's, both at the late Golden Core stage.
When Liu Xiaoyuan's divine sense enveloped him, the man immediately sensed it and asked, "Who are you, and why are you following me?"
Now that he had been discovered, Liu Xiaoyuan naturally stopped hiding. Besides, he had never even considered hiding in the first place.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "It's me. This woman you kidnapped is related to me. Put her down immediately, and I might spare your life!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately stopped flying and stood still, waiting for Liu Xiaoyuan to arrive.
Soon, Liu Xiaoyuan arrived in front of the man. Upon seeing that Liu Xiaoyuan's cultivation level was the same as his own, the man sneered and said, "Brother Dao, you are also at the late Golden Core stage, just like me. What ability do you have to surpass me?"
The man was so arrogant because he practiced a domineering technique. Although this technique caused some damage to the practitioner, it was invincible among cultivators at the Pain level.
Of course, the so-called invincibility is just what the cultivator who created the technique said, because there is no such thing as an invincible technique in this world.
Just as there is no single most delicious thing in the world, the quality of a cultivation technique depends entirely on the practitioner's skill.
Some terrible cultivation techniques can still unleash tremendous power in the hands of a skilled cultivator.
Upon hearing this, Liu Xiaoyuan glanced at the man and said with a smile, "It's hard to say what skills he has now, because facts speak louder than words. Everything can only be understood after it's been done!"
Upon hearing this, the man immediately threw Zhang Qian, who was on his shoulder, onto a tree. A curved knife appeared in his hand, and he said, "Come on, let me see your true skills."
At the same time, Liu Xiaoyuan on the opposite side immediately summoned the Blood Drinking Sword.
Upon seeing the Blood Drinking Sword in Liu Xiaoyuan's hand, the man showed a hint of surprise and said, "Are you also a follower of demonic and heretical paths?"
Looking at the blood-red tail behind the Blood Drinking Sword, Liu Xiaoyuan knew that the man had misunderstood him as a demon.
However, when the man asked this question, he added the word "also" to the sentence, which indicates that the man was also a follower of evil and heretical practices.
This also explains why the man kidnapped Zhang Qian for no reason. These evil people do things without any rules or regulations; they act according to their own whims.
If one is a righteous person, then one only needs to consider the issue of face.
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't bother to answer the man's question, and said, "This is none of your business, just do it!"
The man snorted coldly and said, "Kid, since you're so eager to die, then I'll send you to the Western Paradise!"
After saying that, the curved knife in the man's hand flew towards Liu Xiaoyuan's neck like a spinning propeller!
Liu Xiaoyuan remained completely calm, standing in the void as if the curved blade flying towards him was made of paper and could not cause him any harm whatsoever!
"Go!" Liu Xiaoyuan uttered the word "go," and with a release of his grip, the Blood Drinking Sword shot towards the flying scimitar like a streak of blood.
"Crack!" A crisp metallic clang rang out, extremely jarring. Immediately afterward, a tremendous burst of energy erupted from the point of impact between the two magical artifacts, surging outward in all directions.
Liu Xiaoyuan originally thought that the Blood Drinking Sword would cut through the opponent's scimitar with this strike, but he was surprised to find that the opponent's scimitar was completely undamaged.
Liu Xiaoyuan was surprised, but the man was even more surprised. He originally thought that Liu Xiaoyuan's Blood Drinking Sword was no match for his curved blade, and that it would be like an egg hitting a rock if they went head-to-head.
However, to his surprise, in the clash between the two magical treasures, his scimitar was actually at a slight disadvantage.
"Who exactly are you?" The man took his scimitar in his hand and asked Liu Xiaoyuan with a look of astonishment.
Liu Xiaoyuan said, "I am who I am. What? Are you checking my household registration or investigating my information?"
Seeing Liu Xiaoyuan's dismissive attitude, the man flew into a rage and said, "Kid, since you're like this, don't blame me for being impolite!"
"Heavenly Demon Slash!" The man released his hands, and the curved blade in his hands floated above his head. Then, the man made a hand seal and chanted some words.
Immediately afterwards, the curved sword above the man's head began to emit thick black smoke, but instead of spreading outwards, the smoke gathered on the curved sword!
