Since their cultivation levels aren't that different, it means... Shen Yunhao actually has room to turn the tables!
Like now!
Faced with the barrage of sword strikes, Shen Yunhao appeared completely powerless to defend himself.
"At least I could parry a few sword strikes before, but now all I can do is take a beating? You gigolo!"
From the second time they met, the man in black kept calling him a gigolo.
Shen Yunhao even suspected that this man in black might be a demon from the North Sea, here to stand up for their seventh princess.
After exchanging blows for a while, the man in black felt bored and, holding his sword, struck Shen Yunhao on the head.
But this was exactly the opportunity that Shen Yunhao had been waiting for!
Just as the man in black relaxed his guard, Shen Yunhao suddenly abandoned the Guixue Sword, spread his arms, and pounced on the man in black.
"!!!"
The man in black was startled and hurriedly sheathed his sword, attempting to force Shen Yunhao back.
To everyone's surprise, Shen Yunhao neither dodged nor avoided the long sword as it pierced his shoulder. Instead, he leaped forward and gave Shen Yunhao a bear hug!
"Zzzzt—"
The longsword sliced across the withered vine armor, but ultimately failed to pierce it. However, Shen Yunhao took advantage of this opportunity to tackle the man in black to the ground!
"Damn it! Let me go!"
The man in black who was tackled immediately began to struggle.
In this situation, the black-clad man's swordsmanship and agility advantages can no longer be utilized, and it becomes a pure clash of strength.
The two were of similar cultivation levels, and the man in black was suddenly tackled. He was a little flustered and struggled for a long time but was unable to push Shen Yunhao away.
"Damn it! Let me see who you are! I'll get my revenge on you one of these days!"
Shen Yunhao knew that he was not yet able to defeat his opponent. The main reason he had pulled this stunt was to find out the opponent's identity.
Knowing their identities would allow them to call in reinforcements for revenge.
But when he pulled off the black robe covering the other person's head and saw the face underneath, he was stunned on the spot.
...
At the summit of the snow-capped mountain.
The girl carried a sword on her back and gazed out over the southern plains.
In those clear eyes, ripples of longing appeared...
"Shen Yunhao has been gone for almost a month now! Junior Sister, haven't you contacted him at all?"
At this moment, a woman walked over and stood behind Ning Yuyao.
"Senior Sister..."
The girl turned around, shook her head at Ying Tangtang, and said, "Brother Yunhao is too far away, beyond the range of the communication jade slip. I... can't contact him."
"Why did this guy run so far?"
"Brother Yunhao probably has his own things to do..."
"Is that so?" Ying Tangtang suddenly sneered. "I think he's just using your name to swindle people, isn't he?"
Upon hearing this, the girl was slightly taken aback and asked curiously, "Why do you say that, Senior Sister?"
"Hmph! You know Huayin Palace, right? Recently, your names have been all over Hanxuan City in the Tianyu Dynasty. Everyone says that Shen Yunhao is arrogant and domineering because he has you backing him up. He's been running rampant there, completely disregarding the disciples of Huayin Palace, and even openly accepting bribes! He's really taken being a gigolo to the extreme!"
To everyone's surprise, Ning Yuyao smiled gently upon hearing this.
"No? Junior Sister, what are you laughing at? Shouldn't you be angry?"
The girl shook her head, "Brother Yunhao wouldn't do such a thing..."
"..."
Ying Tangtang thought to herself, "Where does your confidence come from...?"
Although Shen Yunhao has lived on this mountain for more than a year, judging from his personality alone, he really has no problems.
But this is Tianshan after all. Who knows if his true nature will be revealed after he comes down the mountain?
"Even if it really was Brother Yunhao who did it... it doesn't matter."
"???"
Ning Yuyao turned her head to look south, a gentle smile on her lips, "That means Brother Yunhao needs me, isn't that a good thing?"
"..."
Ying Tangtang immediately covered her face.
Wow, this guy's love-struck mind is just unbelievable...
At this moment, Ning Yuyao sheathed her Cloud Frost Sword and walked away.
"Hmm? Junior Sister, where are you going?"
"Let's go down the mountain!"
"Huh? Why are we going down the mountain?"
"I'm going to Hanxuan City." The girl lowered her head, her tone indifferent. "Whether it's true or not, I don't want anyone to belittle Brother Yunhao as a gigolo! So... such rumors shouldn't continue to exist!"
"Hey! Remember to call your second senior sister along, and have her keep an eye on things!"
"Second Senior Sister isn't on the mountain!"
...
On the other side, Shen Yunhao was dumbfounded.
Because the face in front of him... looked exactly like his own!
He's practically another Shen Yunhao!
"Let...let me go! What kind of skill is this, sneak attacking me like that!"
However, Shen Yunhao, who was pinned down, had a strange...shyness in his tone.
Shen Yunhao understood instantly.
No wonder that in the cities I passed through recently, people kept coming to cause me trouble, and no matter how I explained, they wouldn't listen.
It turns out it was all my own fault!
Just then, Shen Yunhao seemed to have thought of something and reached out to touch the buttocks of the other "Shen Yunhao".
"Ah! What are you doing! No!"
Ignoring everything else, Shen Yunhao groped around for a long time and finally managed to pull out a big, fluffy tail!
Bai Xiaoruo's mind went blank for a moment. She immediately covered her face with her hands and lay flat on the ground pretending to be dead.
"..."
The silence lasted for two minutes.
A furious roar echoed through the mountains and forests: "You unlucky fox, I'll fight you to the death!"
