The female guardian realised what had happened and her face went red with anger.
How can such a shameless man exist in this world? she thought.
Xu Que had embarrassed her in front of so many cultivators. She was fuming in anger and shame and her face was turning red. She was so angry and vexed that she wanted to end Xu Que’s life in a single stroke.
However, the most important task now was to cover her legs.
Boom!
She immediately conjured up pieces of gold that covered her thighs like a pair of armored golden trousers!
Although she had a pair of spare trousers in her storage ring, under such circumstances, it would be impossible for her to put them on in front of all these people.
So, after some quick thinking, the female guardian had resorted to this tactic to temporarily cover herself by conjuring gold with her metal element spiritual Qi.
She stared at Xu Que furiously.
You lecherous, dishonourable scoundrel, prepare to die!
she snapped.
The flying sword merged with an enchantment. Fierce sword light appeared like flames and illuminated the dim Sword Catacomb.
The sword light was like an overwhelming rainstorm that rushed fiercely towards Xu Que.
At Jade Sword Sect, she had been considered an elite at the ninth level of the Original Infant Stage of cultivation. There was no one who had dared to speak to her in such a frivolous way before, not to mention Xu Que’s unthinkable act of stripping her of her pants with his attacks.
This was beyond her level of endurance. There was no need to tolerate further!
The female guardian wanted to slash Xu Que the lecher in half, and dig out his lewd and crafty eyes.
The crowd of onlookers gulped in mouthfuls of cold air, their faces looking grim.
This sword technique… can it be the Lightning Flare Art of Jade Sword Sect?
This is too strong, such momentum, this technique clearly contains formidable sword will!
She’s really infuriated. By using such a potent attack, she obviously wants brother Fujiwara dead!
The Jade Sword Sect is truly powerful!
Many cultivators felt a chill that made them numb in the head.
On the other hand, Xu Que still wore a serene expression, facing what was to come calmly!
Aiya, damn… lady, I did that for your own good. This place is so cold and if you don’t wear pants, you’re going to catch a cold! Look at you, you don’t even appreciate my goodwill. What’s with the pieces of metal on your legs, aren’t they making you even cold?
Xu Que clamored teasingly. He executed Six Corporeal Forms as a counterattack and another illusionary shadow formed, seeming to cover the whole area.
Boom!
There was a loud collision as the two sword techniques forcefully clashed with each other. It dispersed into spiritual waves that swept across the area.
The crowd stared in horror.
The crowd of young cultivators were all gifted in sword cultivation. They were the elites of their generation. So naturally, they were able to see clearly who had gained the upper hand with that display of prowess—Xu Que.
The sword technique that the female protector of Jade Sword Sect had executed was not a simple tactic, as it encompassed immense sword will.
Yet in the end, an illusionary shadow casually executed by Xu Que had successfully broken the technique by dissipating the sword will into spiritual waves.
This was a masterful show of force from Xu Que—a single stroke that had broken an all-powerful sword art!
This kind of power somehow seemed too formidable!
Everyone’s eyes landed on Xu Que in aghast.
Xu Que narrowed his eyes and laughed.
Pitting yourself against me for being a cheapskate… ah, do you want to pit yourself against me in terms of sword skill? You’re too far behind. When I was three, I was already wielding an iron sword and fighting heroes north of the Yellow River. At five, I carried a heavy sword and adventured into the faraway lands of the east. At ten, I needed no weapons anymore, for I could fashion even a strand of grass or twig into a sword! The world calls me the God of Swords, nicknamed Dugu Qiubai!
Poof!
Ye Chang Feng, who was in the process of healing, was distracted from his task and spat out a mouthful of blood when he heard what Xu Que had said.
He was too familiar with these words. He knew he had fucking heard them before in the Imperial City of Fire Country, numerous times in fact. He remembered someone by the name of Li Bai uttering them.
Ye Chang Feng had noted expect Xu Que to be so brazen as to plagiarise someone else’s words and come here to pretend, and even claim to be, the God of Swords. He felt that Xu Que was totally trying to one-up him, as he himself was known as the Legendary Swordsman!
…
See, did you see that? The Legendary Swordsman vomited blood in fright when he heard my name!
Xu Que exclaimed to the crowd, pointing at Ye Chang Feng.
Ye Chang Feng suddenly saw black as he nearly fainted from rage.
The whole crowd was speechless, their mouths twitching heavily.
Senior Fujiwara, are you really naïve or are you pretending to be naïve?
He vomited blood because he was wounded by you!
How can you say he vomited blood because he was frightened of you?
We aren’t blind!
And your claim that you were fighting heroes north of the Yellow River at three, venturing into the faraway lands of the east at five, and using strands of grass or twigs as your sword at ten…
Crap, why don’t you go to heaven and boast?
Using grass and twigs as a sword?
Get rid of your broadsword first before making such claims, alright?
By now, the crowd had caught on to what was really happening.
They had deduced the truth from the situation and come to their own conclusion. Brother Fujiwara … was not innocent and simple. Lord Sword Spirit must have been deceived too.
And now that they were looking at Senior Fujiwara, they had a feeling that he was somewhat a cheapskate, and felt like hitting him.
Of course, they dared not act on their thoughts. After witnessing Xu Que’s prowess, everyone was awed and terrified at the same time. Nobody dared to say a word!
The guardians of Ye Chang Feng wore severe expressions on their faces.
The female guardian who had fought Xu Que was already their strongest member. She had even executed the Jade Sword Sect’s Lightning Flare Art, and yet it had been easily dismissed by Xu Que. They had now realized that Xu Que was definitely not easy to deal with.
The female guardian was so enraged that she was shaking.
In the Jade Sword Sect, she had been considered the best pupil in her league, but as she was not as gifted in sword cultivation as Ye Chang Feng, she had lost out to him—even though she was not weaker in any other aspect.
If Ye Chang Feng hadn’t been a member of Jade Sword Sect, then she would have been the focus of the generation.
Although her strength wasn’t in doubt, her sword technique had been so easily dismissed by a teenager! This was difficult for her to accept.
The more she thought about it, the angrier she became.
When Xu Que saw that, he pointed at her and sniggered.
Look everyone, after hearing my name, she is trembling in fright!
The crowd was helpless and speechless once again upon hearing Xu Que’s claims.
Brother Fujiwara, you … what do you expect us to say!
Suddenly, Xu Que opened his mouth again, as if noticing that he had been wrong.
Hold on, that’s not right, she’s not scared!
Everyone was temporarily startled.
Brother Fujiwara has really misunderstood!
What a relief, at least he isn’t as shameless as we imagined. Someone like that is still acceptable.
However, in the next moment, everyone was thrown off balance.
Xu Que pointed to the lower half of the female guardian’s body and spoke in a worried tone.
She’s cold. Are any of you wearing two pairs of pants? Take one off for her. See how cold she is? All of you really don’t know how to be tender and kind to women. Come, come, come, I’ll help you out.
When he finished talking, he took a leap, turned into a flash of lightning and attacked the other guardians.
