Chapter 17: Yin Demon Saber Saint, Fu Tingfei
“I was expelled from the Demon Saber Sect long ago.”
The man sitting cross-legged on the mountain top finally stood up. The next moment, he appeared out of thin air in front of everyone. His cold gaze fell on the old woman, and he sai faintly, “Vice Pavilion Master Long is quite capable to have made it past Qin Feng.”
His voice was soft and feminine, lacking the vigor of a man’s voice, nor did it have the gentleness of a woman’s voice. It was very uncomfortable to listen to.
The old woman glanced at Chu Xin, who was tiptoeing and leaning on the railing beside her. If it weren’t for this little girl, she wouldn’t have been able to defeat Qin Feng.
However, this guy in front of her had already entered the Mid-Stage Martial Saint realm a few years ago. His strength was even greater than Qin Feng’s.
She stared at the man, her brows furrowed, and asked in a deep voice, “Why do you keep preventing the Provincial Governor from entering the Provincial Governor’s Mansion?”
“You don’t need to know.”
The man’s soft voice sounded again, his tone still indifferent, “Will the Provincial Governor come with me, or do I have to kill them all before I take you away? Don’t think about escaping. You were able to escape from Qin Feng, but in front of me, Fu Tingfei, there is no possibility of escape.”
“Yin Demon Saber Saint, Fu Tingfei?”
The old woman’s expression turned grave, her brows revealing deep concern.
Long Yufei and the others’ expressions also changed drastically, a trace of fear appearing in their eyes.
“Is this pervert very powerful?”
Chu Xin tugged at Long Yufei’s sleeve and asked curiously, looking up.
“It’s Yin Demon Saber Saint, not pervert,”
Long Yufei corrected, her tone serious, “His strength is indeed very strong, but what makes him terrifying is not his strength, but his methods of torture. Those who die at his hands are not killed by his blade, but by his bone-eroding saber intent, which repeatedly corrodes all the bones in the body, causing them to break down. The cultivator will then be unable to support their own body and will be crushed to death by their own weight, suffering immense pain before dying.”
“So scary.”
Chu Xin patted her little chest, looking frightened. Then she patted Chu Chen’s little shoulder and said in an old-fashioned manner, “Little Brother, Dad said, use other people’s Dao against them. Remember?”
Long Yufei couldn’t help but smile wryly, “You mean ‘an eye for an eye’, right?”
“Yes, yes, that’s it.” Chu Xin nodded her head repeatedly like a chicken pecking at rice.
“Yes! I remember.” Chu Chen nodded his head heavily, a very serious expression on his chubby little face.
“Don’t be reckless. This guy is stronger than Qin Feng.” Long Yufei quickly stopped the two eager little ones.
“Okay!” Chu Xin and Chu Chen nodded. They never acted recklessly.
Seeing this, Long Yufei breathed a sigh of relief. She looked up again at Fu Tingfei, who was floating in the air, her face full of worry.
“Since you know my name, then don’t put up a futile resistance.”
Fu Tingfei’s gaze fell on Long Yufei, and he said in his soft voice, “Come with me obediently, and I’ll release you in a month. Otherwise, they will all die a painful death, including your two children.”
“My children?”
Long Yufei was stunned for a moment, then turned to look at the two siblings.
At the same time, Fu Tingfei’s gaze shifted from Long Yufei to Chu Xin and Chu Chen. He said coldly, “Provincial Governor, you wouldn’t want to see your own children’s bones being eroded, and finally being crushed to death by their own little bodies, suffering endless torture, would you?”
Long Yufei’s lips moved, but in the end, she didn’t refute.
Although these two siblings were not her children, she couldn’t bear to watch them be tortured to death.
But if she went with the Yin Demon Saber Saint, the matter of Lánzhōu would not be resolved. Wouldn’t she be letting her sister down?
“Fu Tingfei, with me here, don’t even think about harming any of them.”
The old woman held the Seven Star Saint Sword in her hand, her sword intent surging around her. Then, with a flick of her wrist, she swung the Saint Sword, and a beam of sword qi shot through the air.
At the same time, she held the Saint Sword and merged with it, following the sword qi into the air.
“Just you?”
Fu Tingfei snorted coldly, and with a wave of his hand, a soft, feminine black saber qi shot out.
With a loud bang, it collided with the sword qi. After a brief stalemate, the sword qi was shattered. The black saber qi continued forward with undiminished force and struck the Seven Star Saint Sword. The powerful force directly shook the old woman out of her man-and-sword-as-one state.
“Such a strong attack, such a strange True Qi.”
◈◈◈
The old woman stood in the air, holding the Seven Star Saint Sword, her face extremely grim. A soft, feminine True Qi was rampaging within her body, constantly dissolving her own True Qi.
Moreover, a bone-eroding saber intent had invaded her body and was constantly corroding her bones.
Although there wasn’t much of this True Qi and saber intent, it still took her a lot of effort to dispel it.
It was foreseeable that if she fought him for a long time, more and more of this True Qi and saber intent would invade her body. In the end, even though she was a Martial Saint, it would be difficult to suppress it.
“I’ll hold him off, you guys run.”
The old woman transmitted her voice, preparing to fight to the death to buy time for Long Yufei and the others to escape.
Long Yufei shook her head. She could never abandon her master and run away.
Fu Tingfei seemed to have guessed what the old woman was doing. The soft saber intent within his body surged out, and at that moment, it seemed to have activated something. Within a radius of several hundred feet, black saber qi suddenly appeared, crisscrossing the area.
“Yin Demon Saber Formation?”
The old woman’s expression changed drastically. She didn’t expect this guy to have already set up such a terrifying saber formation here. Now, it would be even harder to escape.
Fu Tingfei sneered, “That’s right. I am the core of this Yin Demon Saber Formation. Only by killing me can you break this formation.”
He revealed the secret of the Yin Demon Saber Formation without reservation, but the old woman was not happy at all.
Fu Tingfei’s strength was already extremely strong, and now with the support of the Yin Demon Saber Formation, his strength was even more terrifying. Who could kill the Yin Demon Saber Saint with the support of the saber formation?
She raised the Seven Star Saint Sword in her hand, and her True Qi surged into it. A beam of sword qi shot up into the sky.
Boom!
In an instant, thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and a terrifying sword intent surged.
The old woman’s face was somewhat pale, and her body swayed, but she still gritted her teeth and persisted.
“Heavenly Sword, Punish Evil!”
She shouted angrily, and the Seven Star Saint Sword suddenly swung down. The clouds in the sky parted, and a giant sword, accompanied by thunder and lightning, descended from the sky.
At that moment, a mighty sword intent pressed down, as if the entire sky was pressing down.
“Heavenly Sword Intent? It’s a pity your realm is not high enough.”
Fu Tingfei looked at the old woman with surprise, his tone still cold and indifferent.
Then, with a wave of his hand, his bone-eroding saber intent triggered the Yin Demon Saber Formation. Countless saber qi rose into the sky, converging into a black demon saber, and slashed towards the Heavenly Sword.
With a loud bang, the entire world seemed to shake.
The Heavenly Sword and the demon saber were locked in a stalemate for a moment, then the demon saber began to vibrate violently, as if it would shatter at any moment.
Fu Tingfei grunted, and a trace of blood appeared at the corner of his mouth.
But at this moment, the old woman suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood. Her True Qi was cut off, and the Heavenly Sword dissipated.
Fu Tingfei looked at the old woman and said coldly, “The Heavenly Sword Intent is indeed very strong, but it’s a pity you can’t control it. Now that you’ve suffered a backlash, your strength has been greatly reduced for a short time. How can you stop me?”
With that, he turned and flew towards Long Yufei.
“Stop!”
The old woman shouted angrily, wanting to go forward to stop him, but she suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood, her body swayed, and she almost fell from the sky.
“Pervert, don’t be arrogant.”
A small figure soared into the sky.
