Chapter 37

PS: Thank you, brothers and sisters. Although today's historical strong push was received, the new book chart still managed to enter the top 29. Oh, in the comments, I've always wanted to highlight everyone's participation, whether positive or negative, to thank everyone for their active participation. However, some just came to insult, and I won't be polite to them, so I deleted them to avoid spoiling the view.

PS2: Seeking a beta reader :)

"Chop!" A black spear arrived just in time, striking two feet away from the whip's tip and immediately deflecting the whip's end. Tan Yu then adjusted his strength, his inner energy penetrating the spear's tip, causing the originally black spearhead to glow with a faint golden light.

With his "Chop!" cry, the razor-sharp spear blade sliced into the whip's body with a tearing sound.

The large man was no easy opponent. Sensing the sharpness of the spear blade, he immediately redirected the force of the whip's tip, causing the soft part of the whip to curl slightly, forming a semi-circular whip circle.

Tan Yu's long spear, caught by the whip circle, lost all its strength, and the large man borrowed much of it. His feet wobbled, almost being pulled by the whip circle.

Tan Yu inwardly praised the whip technique but refused to admit defeat. He quickly retracted the spear and countered with another move.

"Stab!" The spear, like a heavenly eye, pierced a specific part of the snake-like whip.

That spot had already been half-cut by the black spear. Now, with a direct stab, it could no longer withstand the force and snapped with a swift sound.

The severed whip tip fell on the snow, the white snow and black whip contrasting beautifully.

The carriage driver, the demon slave, found this scene far from amusing. He was shocked. This child's use of energy was divine, and with just two basic spear techniques, he completely broke the demon slave's once invincible whip technique and even broke his weapon.

Although it was just a long whip he used for driving, the demon slave often used it, and his whip technique was extremely proficient, not much weaker than the weapons he used in battle. It was one of his two main weapons.

Unexpectedly, it was severed by two spear strikes in the middle of nowhere, which was almost as difficult as defeating him in a direct confrontation.

The demon slave's deep-set eyes blazed with anger. The whip rod was nine feet long, and the whip itself was seven feet long. Although it was long, the loss of the two-foot whip tip greatly reduced its power.

Swish! Swish!

Two more whips were swung.

Ding! Ding!

Tan Yu's black spear, like a sweeping tornado, unpredictable in its movements, slashed the long whip twice. Although the demon slave was very cautious, avoiding the golden edge of the spear, this restraint significantly reduced the power of his whip technique, allowing Tan Yu to easily block it.

"Slave, stop!" A clear voice called from the carriage, a woman's voice, much more pleasant than the previous one.

"Yes." The demon slave raised the long rod, and the whip hung limply. His black face turned slightly purple, and half of his curly beard stood up.

"This large man is actually a Kunlun slave? His Mandarin is even more standard than mine." Tan Yu picked up the thin blanket from the ground, draped it over his shoulders, and thought in confusion, "Moreover, his hidden strength is incredible. He can easily imbue such a long whip with fierce inner energy, making it easy to pierce armor! Such a skilled person still has a master?"

Kunlun slaves were most famous during the Tang Dynasty, known for their strength and loyalty, making them the most sought-after slaves by the nobility.

However, Kunlun slaves did not come from Kunlun Mountain but from a black-skinned race on an island off the coast of Siam. Due to the heavy accents of the ancients, they mispronounced "Siam" as "Kunlun," hence the name "Kunlun slave."

From Tan Yu's perspective, the demon slave's whip technique and inner strength might be slightly inferior to Shi Huang's, but they were already quite advanced. For such a person to willingly be a slave, his master must be extraordinary.

A woman in a flowered dress leaped out of the carriage and lightly stood in front of Tan Yu.

Tan Yu couldn't help but sniff deeply, the faint fragrance of her body, especially her... well, they were quite large, at least not inferior to Xiaodie! It naturally stimulated certain psychological responses.

Tan Yu took a step forward, hoping to continue smelling the mature woman's fragrance.

"What is your honorable surname, and how should I address you?"

"My husband's surname is Shen. You can call me Seventh Lady." The beauty took a slight step back and smiled seductively.

"Seventh Lady Shen... what a beautiful name!" Tan Yu genuinely thought the name sounded good, but the large man's murderous gaze clearly categorized him as a lecherous young man.

"Your spear technique is unique and truly remarkable. May I ask which school you come from?"

"Oh, we are from the Wudang Hidden Sect." Tan Yu hoped more people would know this.

"Wudang Hidden Sect?" Seventh Lady Shen frowned, trying to recall.

"Seventh Lady, you wouldn't know. My master didn't teach us much, so we brothers just practiced for fun." Tan Yu laughed and asked, "By the way, Seventh Lady, why are you out so late? Aren't you afraid of catching a cold?"

The flowered-dressed beauty was taken aback.

"What cold?"

"Like a cold!" Tan Yu explained unenthusiastically and then asked, "Seventh Lady, why are you out so late at night? Are you on an autumn outing?"

"An autumn outing..." The flowered-dressed beauty laughed, her body swaying, "Young man, you have a good sense of humor."

Tan Yu was somewhat disdainful. Although this woman had a magnificent figure, her mind was clearly flawed, and her only skill was to go off-topic and seduce.

It seemed they were targeting the old man Shi.

"My brother and I need to relieve ourselves. If you have nothing else, please step aside to avoid being offended by the smell."

"Little brother, can you move out of the way? Our carriage takes up a lot of space," Seventh Lady Shen said slyly. "Besides, relieving oneself on the main road seems a bit impolite, doesn't it?"

"Can't hold it anymore?" Tan Yu inwardly despised her. Big sister, why so many roundabout ways?

"Hehe, country people are more casual. Seventh Lady, please understand. Just take a detour."

The black-faced demon slave's beard bristled, and his large hand reached for the long knife on his leg for the first time.

"Can't we negotiate?"

"Negotiate? Of course, we can." Tan Yu's eyes narrowed, looking boldly below her shoulders. "In about half an hour, we'll be done."

"Then there's no other way! Originally, I... didn't want to hurt you."

Seventh Lady Shen, finally angered by his gaze, now fully understood why Jin Wei insisted on wasting the emperor's good opportunity and forcing her to kill this young man.

Young, skilled in martial arts, witty, and handsome—naturally, he would be the favorite of young girls! Yet, his strong character and stubbornness made him immune to flattery, and Jin Wei's jealousy was too natural.

Her slender figure gracefully retreated into the carriage, like a fish in water, moving freely.

Tan Yu watched her until her curvaceous figure disappeared, then sighed involuntarily.

Men, you really shouldn't be too righteous, or women won't like you!

"Slave, attack."

The demon slave, who had been holding back, let out a strange cry. His left hand inserted the long whip into the carriage, and his right hand gripped the wooden handle of the long knife, emitting a killing aura.

Tan Yu's expression turned serious, and the thin blanket wrapped around him flew toward Zhang Ren: "Little junior brother, step back."

"Second senior brother, be careful!" Zhang Ren, holding the blanket, quietly retreated to the old locust tree at the village entrance, preparing his weapons. He knew that in close combat, he couldn't withstand even a single move from the opponent and would only be a burden to his senior brother. Staying at a distance might help his senior brother.
