Chapter 73 The Demon Blade Slays the Demon, Xu Qingya Tried by Three Courts
"Jade Owl Soul Stealer, one more needed!"
The bloodshot look in Xu Qingya's eyes grew even more intense.
"Jade Owl Soul Stealer" is one of the four great masters of the Demonic Sect. Although they are called the same, in reality, one can take on three others. The four people can be divided into three levels, and the difference between them is huge.
"Jade" refers to Shan Yuru, the leader of the Heavenly Mandate Sect and the most enchanting witch of her time. She never easily reveals her identity and prefers to use others to do her dirty work.
"Owl" is a yak with a pair of gleaming bronze maces. It looks like a wolf, has a very eye-catching figure, and its eyes are fierce and piercing.
"Duo" is the talisman for "Duopo". His weapon is a soft sword. He wears a long robe and has an extraordinary demeanor. Every move he makes exudes an evil aura. He once abducted young boys and girls to practice his skills. He is insidious, vicious, cruel, and violent.
"Soul" is "Soul-Seizing Tai Sui" Du Mu. His weapon is a pair of short halberds. He is dressed very elegantly, but his face is as pale as a dead man. He is now a real dead man. He was cut in two by Xu Qingya in one move and died without a complete corpse.
While Xu Qingya and Yin Yewang were drinking, the three suddenly rushed in and killed someone. Xu Qingya immediately recognized them as evil heretics and attacked with deadly moves. Taking advantage of their arrogance and complacency, he killed the Soul-Snatching Tai Sui with a single strike.
Now, there are two people left!
Jie Fu's martial arts skills are higher, while Yang Ling's are slightly lower. In terms of the evil deeds they have committed, Yang Ling and Du Mu combined cannot even compare to a fraction of Jie Fu's.
In the past, the late emperor recruited many alchemists to refine elixirs, and Jie Fu also offered advice and suggestions. His martial arts required absorbing the essence and blood of young boys and girls, and the same was true for alchemy.
At the Ascension Ceremony, Jie Fu suggested that the late emperor use the hearts of a thousand young boys and girls to refine elixirs. This method was so vicious that even the leader of the Yu Xian Gang couldn't stand it, thinking to himself, "We are evil heretics, but we are really not perverts."
Jie Fu was being hunted down by the Yu Xian Gang and the Six Doors, and was forced to jump off a cliff. As everyone knows, in the world of martial arts, jumping off a cliff will not kill you, and Jie Fu survived by sheer luck.
How exactly she survived is unknown to outsiders. Xu Qingya vaguely remembers that her experience with Jie Fu was similar to that of Xian Yutong, but her methods were ten times worse than Xian Yutong's. She ruthlessly killed her benefactor's entire family.
Jie Fu sneered, "Young Master Xiao, or perhaps I should call you Xu Qingya, hand over the Dragon-Slaying Saber—do you think you can hide it? The Dragon-Slaying Saber is in your hands!"
"Are these your last words?"
"Boy, do you know who I am—"
"You're a dead man!"
Xu Qingya stomped his left foot down heavily, and his body's strength exploded. The floor cracked inch by inch, and the blood-red energy exploded from Xu Qingya's center, like detonating a warehouse full of gunpowder. The energy tore through the sky and pushed aside the clouds.
The intense, almost tangible, crimson aura of malevolence soared into the sky like beacon fires, transforming the once-glorious brothel into a sinister and eerie den of demons.
This statement is not entirely accurate!
No need for embellishment, brothels were inherently dens of iniquity!
A crimson light surged in Xu Qingya's eyes, and the Ice Jade Blade hummed and trembled. The frost covering the blade was dispersed by the boiling blood and qi, replaced by a viscous, dripping blood-red light, like the blood-red light condensed by the setting sun over a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood in the desert.
At this moment, Xu Qingya no longer possessed the gentle and refined demeanor of a young gentleman. He was like a blood-soaked demon who had crawled out of hell, a demon among demons!
"court death!"
Jie Fu was both shocked and furious. Xu Qingya's ferocity far exceeded the records. He dared not be careless. His soft sword flicked like a venomous snake, instantly unleashing a sky full of sword shadows.
The sword's edge carried a chilling, sinister aura, weaving a web that devoured life essence. Jie Fu was like a spider weaving its web to hunt, waiting for Xu Qingya to walk right into its trap.
"Night Owl" Yang Leng let out a sharp cry. The Demonic Sect has no rule of fighting one-on-one. He raised his double maces high, golden light flashing, and concentrated all his life's power into the bronze maces, smashing them hard at Xu Qingya's temples from the left and right sides!
Twin peaks piercing the ears!
Yang Leng timed it perfectly, precisely at the delicate moment when Xu Qingya's momentum reached its peak and his old strength was just beginning to give way to new strength, thus creating a pincer attack from both sides.
Facing the combined attack of the two great demons, Xu Qingya grinned in a ferocious arc. He neither dodged nor avoided, seemingly oblivious to Yang Leng's deadly mace, as if his head were cast in bronze and iron, possessing an indestructible body.
The Ice Jade Blade emitted a piercing shriek that could shatter gold and split stone. Its momentum was like a raging river or a torrent of water, slashing towards Jie Fu's neck in the most brutal and tragic way!
They only attack and never defend, risking their lives for each other.
Wei Family Knife Manual: Loyalty and Pride!
The blade light swirled into a boiling crimson vortex, and three dark red blade beams slashed out in a triangular pattern, carrying an arrogant and world-destroying aura. Ignoring all defenses, they used pure killing intent and blood energy to directly confront the killing move that dispelled the talisman.
"Sizzle!"
A piercing tearing sound rang out.
Jie Fu's meticulously woven sword net crumbled like a clay chicken or a clay dog before the blood-red blade light. Jie Fu felt an overwhelming force mixed with a vicious aura that penetrated to the bone marrow, causing his blood and qi to churn.
Jie Fu had to stagger back several steps, his eyes filled with utter horror—how could this kid's power be so domineering? Was this kid even human?
This swordsmanship is practically burning through one's life!
Just as Jie Fu was forced back by a single strike and his mind was shaken, Xu Qingya's body, which seemed to be attacking Jie Fu with all his might, was forcibly twisted in mid-air from an incredible angle, and time seemed to freeze at that moment.
Wei Family Sword Manual: Ingenious Scheme!
Yang Leng's bronze mace, imbued with all his strength and poised to shatter Xu Qingya's head, only managed to touch Xu Qingya as he twisted his body, leaving behind a bloody afterimage.
Oops!
We've fallen for their trap!
Yang Leng knew something was wrong, but in this life-or-death situation, there was no time to react. He could only grit his teeth and swing his mace to block.
Like a mantis trying to stop a chariot, it's futile and a desperate attempt to find a sliver of hope.
Xu Qingya disregarded the dispelling talisman and poured all the remaining momentum, killing intent, and space created by the dispelling talisman from his previous strike into a backhand slash, causing the blade to suddenly burst forth with light.
Wei Family Sword Manual: Drinking Battle!
The blade light was no longer a torrent, but a blood-red crescent moon condensed to its extreme. The blade intent was upright and righteous, yet it carried a bloodthirsty aura, locking onto Yang Leng's entire escape space, leaving him with no way to escape to heaven or earth.
"No!"
Yang Leng screamed in terror, but could only open his mouth wide, unable to utter a sound. All he could see was the blade of light that filled his vision and was impossible to avoid.
Do not!
To be precise, all of Yang Leng's senses, including sight, hearing, and touch, were suppressed by the crimson blade's light. Apart from this blade, there was nothing else in the world.
Any attack, defense, dodge, or pleading was futile. Yang Leng could only watch helplessly as the extremely refined, demonic blade light easily sliced across his neck, as if cutting through rotten wood.
"Snap!"
The head, its eyes wide open in death, shot skyward, and blood gushed out of the headless cavity like a fountain, splattering onto the crimson curtains and the broken floor.
Yang Leng's burly body remained in the forward-charging, mace-smashing posture until his head hit the ceiling with a thud, and only then did his mangled body fall to the ground.
"You bastard, go to hell!"
Jie Fu's eyes widened in fury, and he roared wildly.
Jie Fu never expected that Xu Qingya's target was not him at all, but rather to use his fear of "Zhong Ao" to create an opportunity to kill Yang Leng!
This is not only about one's own fundamental martial arts skills, but also about a precise grasp of the timing of battle and the psychology of one's opponent, as well as a reckless and courageous determination to risk everything.
"Your turn, you old dog!"
Without pausing, Xu Qingya's blade still cleaved Yang Leng, and he charged towards Jie Fu like an arrow released from a bow, carrying overwhelming killing intent. Jie Fu is doomed to die today. I, Xu Qingya, have said that even the Heavenly King himself cannot save you.
The blood-red light on the blade was so thick it was almost dripping, and the intense blood energy frantically washed over the blade. The arc of the blade's light formed a river of blood, which was in no way inferior to the Blood River Divine Sword of the Blood River Sect.
The dispelling of the curse has gone completely insane!
The Demonic Sect are all selfish and self-serving people. Jie Fu didn't care about the lives of Yang Leng and Du Mu, but now that they're dead, Jie Fu has to face Xu Qingya's onslaught alone.
Jie Fu is a high-ranking figure in the Heavenly Mandate Sect, enjoying endless wealth and honor. Even the sect leader, Shan Yuru, has to call Jie Fu "Senior Brother." Jie Fu's seniority in the Heavenly Mandate Sect is only slightly lower than a few centenarian demons.
With such a high seniority, such a high status, and so much wealth and glory, Jie Fu's body had long been corrupted by the pleasures of the brothel. He had neither the ruthlessness of a demon nor the internal strength of a senior. Faced with Xu Qingya's life-or-death demonic blade, his fighting spirit was instantly shattered.
The first instinct upon removing the talisman was to run away!
Xu Qingya's power was too terrifying. This guy was not human, but a demon, a monster. He was a demon who could kill all things, and his sword was a demonic sword that could wash the world in blood.
Wei Family Sword Manual: Solitary Strike!
The crimson torrent rushed toward Jiefu, without any fancy changes, only a resolute determination to fight to the death.
Jie Fu brandished his sword desperately, hoping to slow things down for a moment, but what strength did an old dog that had been spoiled by Shan Yuru have left?
"Boom!"
At that moment, the entire brothel's walls felt as if they had been struck hundreds or thousands of times by eighty sledgehammers.
Exquisite carved beams and painted rafters, thick and sturdy brick and stone walls, and gorgeous and elegant screens, tables and chairs, along with colorful silk curtains, gradually collapsed from the top of the building, like toppling dominoes, triggering a violent chain reaction, and crumbling and shattering from top to bottom.
The fierce and unparalleled energy, carrying wood chips, pebbles, tiles, silk, porcelain shards, and blood mist, swept out in all directions like a raging torrent, forming a blood tornado.
Wind God Leg - Wind Sweeps Away Building Ruins!
The blades and legs intertwined, like a giant meat grinder, enveloping the talisman. Apart from the piercing screams, nothing else could be heard.
The smoke and dust slowly dissipated.
Xu Qingya stood tall amidst the ruins, his Ice Jade Blade returned to its sheath, the boiling crimson aura slowly receding like the tide, and the crimson in his eyes gradually faded.
In less than three seconds, he transformed back into a composed and dashing young master, his robes spotless, while Yin Yewang, who was watching the battle, was hit by the rubble and ended up covered in dust.
Before Xu Qingya, the talisman-removing device, or rather, the thing that was once called the talisman-removing device, had disappeared.
A huge crater was left on the ground, and around the crater were pieces of flesh that even Lu Zhishen could not find fault with.
Yang Yan and Yin Susu rushed over and saw Xu Qingya kill three demons in succession. They were initially delighted by Xu Qingya's strength, but their delight quickly turned into anger.
What place is this?
Is this the kind of place a respectable person should come to?
Yin Susu glanced around and saw Yin Yewang, who was covered in soot. She angrily shouted, "Stop right there! I'm going to tell Father! You—you dare bring your brother-in-law to a place like this! You dare to corrupt me—"
Before Yin Susu could finish her rant, she suddenly realized that Yang Yan had run away with Xu Qingya on her back. She had learned this from Liu Qingci. Empty talk was a low-level skill; a truly capable person could grasp the key points with a single move.
Yin Yewang rolled his eyes and ran off in another direction. Yin Susu stomped her foot, ultimately deciding that Xu Qingya was more important, and took off after Yang Yan.
The Zhao residence!
Xu Qingya is undergoing a joint trial.
Yang Yan, Yin Susu, and Cheng Lingsu stared intently at Xu Qingya, while Doubao'er and Tangdun'er listened in. Xu Qingya sat in the middle, but instead of a stool, he was sitting on a washboard, making him feel extremely uncomfortable.
"Cough cough cough~~"
Yang Yan coughed lightly a few times and asked, "Qingya, are you going to listen to music or enjoy a song and dance performance? I heard that Xinghua Tower has two beauties from Miao ethnicity who are skilled in bamboo pole dancing!"
When a courtesan performs the bamboo pole dance, she will definitely take off her embroidered shoes and stockings, revealing her delicate jade feet and ankles. Silver bells are tied around her waist. Every jump of her jade feet and every gentle sway of her slender waist will deeply enchant the audience.
Yang Yan knew Xu Qingya's preferences very well.
Xu Qingya might not be interested in other dances, even the Gongsun Sword Dance or the Rainbow Feather Dance, but he would definitely like the Miao bamboo pole dance.
Before Xu Qingya could explain, Cheng Lingsu said softly, "Brother Xu, Xinghualou is not safe. Master Zhao went to Xinghualou and was poisoned when he came back. When you went to Xinghualou, did you come into contact with any shady or sinister people?"
Yin Susu said bluntly, "Don't hang out with my older brother. He's a scoundrel. If you hang out with him, he'll corrupt you sooner or later!"
Xu Qingya raised her hand: "My three ladies, Yin Yewang asked me to discuss something confidential, something that cannot be known by others. Our private room is completely empty except for us; there isn't even a fly!"
Yang Yan asked, "What are you talking about?"
Yin Susu blushed upon hearing this.
Xu Qingya: "The Dragon-Slaying Saber! He was the one who stole it while I was dueling with Gu Jianhun. The Dragon-Slaying Saber is of great importance, and too many people are eyeing it. Yin Yewang is worried something might happen, so he wants me to make a decision!"
Yin Susu's forehead creased into a "well" shape: "You only talked about this much, didn't you discuss anything else?"
Xu Qingya: "When Yin Yewang chartered a pleasure boat to enjoy the scenery, he inadvertently discovered that the Black Waterway had occupied the territory of the Two Lakes Dragon Sand Gang. The Black Waterway had long wanted to establish itself in Jingxiang, and they were involved in these matters."
Yin Susu: "What else did you talk about?"
Xu Qingya looked at Cheng Lingsu.
Cheng Lingsu thoughtfully said, "Brother Xu asked me for a prescription, saying that one of his friends has a special hidden illness. Is that friend Yin Yewang?"
Xu Qingya nodded.
Yang Yan asked, "Qingya, who were those three guys you killed? Why did you kill them?"
A murderous glint flashed in Xu Qingya's eyes: "They were the three great protectors of the Heavenly Mandate Sect. The one who died the most tragically was named Jie Fu. Yan'er, have you heard of him?"
Yang Yan shuddered upon hearing this: "That old devil who suggested to the late emperor that the hearts and livers of a thousand young boys and girls be used to make an elixir of immortality, a suggestion that even the leader of the Yuxian Gang couldn't stand? That guy, good riddance!"
Xu Qingya added, "Xinghua Tower was a secret stronghold of the Heavenly Mandate Sect. When I attacked, I subconsciously used more force, reducing Xinghua Tower to ruins!"
Yin Susu sneered, "That place wasn't exactly respectable to begin with. If it's demolished, so be it. If the Heavenly Mandate Sect has any objections, let Zhu Xiawu keep them in mind!"
Yang Yan said, "That's right, it should indeed be recorded in Zhu Xiawu's account. Qingya, there's something I've discovered that's suspicious, related to Zhu Xiawu, but we can put that aside for now. Lingsu, could you check Qingya's body to see if there's anything wrong?"
Xu Qingya: I am in good health!
