Chapter Sixty-Seven: The Promiscuous Gentleman
Seeing everything before her, the people who once loved each other were now fighting each other with swords drawn. Murong Hanchan couldn't help but sigh and declare, "Brother Xiaoyao, if you ever treat me like this again, I will kill you no matter where you are in the world!"
Upon hearing this, Xiaoyao Lang was furious and said slowly, "Chan'er! Since you don't believe me, then you can gouge out my eyes now, so that I won't lose my life if I fall in love with a beautiful woman in the future!"
Upon hearing this, Murong Hanchan was so angry she couldn't speak: "You..."
Upon hearing this, Yu Linglong hurriedly whispered, "Han Chan, Yu Lang is not that kind of person. If one day he really is so promiscuous, don't make things difficult for him. We'll find a quiet place and never have anything to do with him again."
Xiaoyao Lang declared, "If that day ever comes, and I lose you all, this mortal world, a place of sorrow and heartbreak, will hold no appeal for me. Even if there is an afterlife, I will not wish to enter the cycle of reincarnation again."
Hearing this, both of them felt a warmth in their hearts and said nothing more.
Xiaoyao Lang observed the battle again and saw that Guan Tong and Qin Hongrong were cooperating with their swords, each move swift and skillful. He thought to himself, "Wouldn't it be wonderful if one of them wielded both swords and used their moves?"
Xiaoyao Lang hurriedly walked to the side, picked up two small bamboo sticks, and used a knife in his left hand and a sword in his right, imitating the moves of the two men.
When Murong Hanchan saw Xiaoyao Lang leave, she thought he was angry, but when she saw Xiaoyao Lang standing to the side, gesturing in a very professional manner, she couldn't help but smile.
Faced with the powerful attacks of the four, Liu Changjun was already at a disadvantage. He then mustered his strength and launched a powerful counterattack with a palm strike. The palm strike was so powerful that even when the four men parried with their swords, they were all forced to retreat several steps.
Guan Tong and the other three immediately felt the pressure and began to hold back, unleashing their full inner energy in a coordinated attack of swords, knives, and legs. The force of their kicks swept across the ground, scattering bamboo leaves; where their swords pointed, the ground cracked and bamboo shards shattered. The four figures darted back and forth, shrouded in an aura of death.
Although Liu Changjun was a peerless master, he feared he would suffer a great loss if he didn't strike ruthlessly against four powerful opponents. Thinking this, Liu Changjun unleashed a powerful kick, sending all four flying. Guan Tong and Qin Hongrong pressed themselves against the bamboo, using it as leverage to send their swords hurtling towards Liu Changjun on the ground. Liu Changjun defended himself with both hands, simultaneously intercepting the swords and spinning them around. The two women spun in mid-air, and Liu Changjun seized the opportunity, striking them directly with both palms.
Guan Tong and Qin Hongrong were struck and sent flying several feet through the air, spitting out blood. Upon seeing this, Liu Changjun hurriedly leaped away on the bamboo.
Seeing this, Xue Qingrou quickly stepped forward to help the two up, while An Xiaolian watched Liu Changjun flee and called out affectionately, "Changjun..."
Xue Qingrou asked with concern, "Are you two alright, sisters?"
Guan Tong declared confidently, "It's alright, I won't die!"
Qin Hongrong cursed, "That heartless bastard, he wishes he could kill us!"
Chunxiang: "This man is outrageous! He appears to be a gentleman, but he's actually so heartless and shameless. If it were me, I would kill him too!"
Xie Yunfeng laughed and said, "It seems that if I fall in love with someone else in the future, I'll have to take her away from you, the farther the better!"
Chunxiang blushed slightly and said softly, "Thank you, Brother Xie. I was just feeling angry for a moment. Please don't overthink it!"
Xie Yunfeng teased her nose with his finger, saying, "Of course I won't think too much about it. How can such a heartless and ungrateful person compare to me, Xie Yunfeng!"
Seeing this, Yin Xiaosheng found it extremely nauseating and shouted, "Let's hurry up and go to the city to find an inn to stay in. It'll be more convenient for us to hug and cuddle!"
Upon hearing this, everyone fell silent and prepared to set off.
Murong Hanchan looked at Xiaoyao Lang and saw him still gesturing with the bamboo stick. She stepped forward and called out, "Brother Xiaoyao, let's get going!"
Xiaoyao Lang replied, "Okay, let's go!" He gestured as he walked.
Murong Hanchan said shamelessly, "Brother Xiaoyao, what are you doing!"
Xiaoyao Lang: "Chan'er, I'm thinking of some moves!"
Yu Linglong stepped forward and asked, "Yu Lang, what moves are you demonstrating?"
Xiaoyao Lang laughed, "I can't explain it clearly. I'll demonstrate one of the four moves, and you'll understand it yourselves!" In an instant, he used both hands simultaneously, slashing left and thrusting right, slashing left and swinging right, swinging left and lifting right. After the three consecutive strikes, he crossed his left and right hands and slashed at a green bamboo, which was as big as an arm and snapped in two.
Upon seeing this, the two were equally astonished. Xiaoyao Lang had no internal energy whatsoever, yet he was able to use the force of the move to break a mature bamboo with two small bamboo sticks.
Murong Hanchan exclaimed with a laugh, "Brother Xiaoyao! How did you do that?"
Xiaoyao Lang declared, "I was watching the battle just now and saw the moves of Guan and Qin. This inspired me to come up with this idea: let swords and sabers flow together."
Yu Linglong said softly, "When one person wields a sword, they need to coordinate with the momentum to achieve a satisfying result. But your moves just now, except for the last one, were all against the momentum, yet you were able to execute them in such a continuous combo. Yu Lang, your composure is truly remarkable!"
Murong Hanchan laughed, "Brother Xiaoyao, from now on I'll wield two swords, and you'll use a saber and a sword. We'll join forces to roam the martial world and surely be remembered for generations!" After saying that, she suddenly thought of Yu Linglong and felt embarrassed. She lowered her head and whispered, "It's the three of us!"
Yin Xiaosheng, riding his horse, called out, "Junior Sister, are you still not leaving?"
Murong Hanchan replied, "They're here!" She glanced at the two of them and turned to leave.
Xiaoyao Lang pulled Yu Linglong along and said softly, "Linglong, let's go!"
Yu Linglong smiled and nodded, then gracefully boarded the carriage.
Seeing that Xiaoyao Lang and the others had left, An Xiaolian, still harboring feelings for Liu Changjun, couldn't help but enter the bamboo building.
Guan Tong scolded, "What are you doing going into that beastly place?"
Qin Hongrong: "Sister Guan, why don't we go in and take a look? Maybe we can find out more of that beast's dirty deeds!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Tong and the other two followed him inside. Once inside, the four of them looked around at the landscape paintings, calligraphy, teacups, and bowls, but there was nothing else.
Qin Hongrong drew her sword, lifted the curtain, and entered the inner room. A bamboo couch stood before her, and two large paintings hung on the walls: one depicting the sun and moon turning in the sky, and the other showing a crane crying in the blue sky.
Upon seeing this, Qin Hongrong realized that Liu Changjun was a hypocrite. She drew her sword and swung it, causing the Sun and Moon to shatter, which stunned her. She then saw that there were portrait paintings hidden underneath. She then completely removed the entire painting, revealing several portraits, one of which was of Xue Qingrou.
Qin Hongrong shouted loudly, "Come in quickly!"
Upon hearing this, the three hurried over.
The three of them were stunned when they saw the portraits. Qin Hongrong teased, "Sister Xue, is one of these portraits of you?"
Upon seeing the portrait, Xue Qingrou confirmed that it was indeed her, but she shook her head without speaking, her heart filled with only a trace of emotion.
Qin Hongrong looked at the cranes howling in the blue sky on the other side and declared confidently, "There must be some down there too!"
Upon hearing this, Guan Tong drew his knife and cut the rope. As expected, the large painting fell, followed by several portrait paintings.
Upon seeing this, Guan Tong laughed loudly, "Sister Qin, you're in one of these paintings too!"
Upon seeing this, Qin Hongrong was immediately enraged. She stepped forward and tore her portrait to pieces.
Upon realizing this, Xue Qingrou tore down her own portrait.
Guan Tong then noticed a wicker basket beside the bed, containing about thirty or forty paintings. Opening it, she found more portraits. She glanced at each one, then tossed one to An Xiaolian, saying, "This is you!"
Guan Tong continued searching and finally found her portrait. Tears streamed down her face as she laughed and cried, shouting, "This heartless man, this hypocrite! Shameless! Shameless! Shameless!" She tore up the portrait in anger.
