Chapter 63

"Who is it?"

Bai Pu slowly stood up: "It's a disciple of the 'Black Water' sect."

Xiao Yuling smiled: "So you recognize my skills."

"Is it the 'Ruyi Illusionary Demon Hand'?" Bai Pu said indifferently, "Of course I recognize it."

"Then you must know my master too?"

Xiao Yuling smiled, pursing her lips.

Bai Pu nodded and said: "‘Black Water surges, sweeping the world clean,’ how could I not know?"

Xiao Yuling was delighted and called to the man in black: "Senior Brother, our master is indeed very famous."

"Of course."

Xiao Leng's demeanor was very arrogant.

Bai Pu smiled faintly and said: "I wonder what brings you two to Shu?"

"Senior Brother is here to kill, and I'm here to watch the show..."

"Kill, but kill who at the 'Immortal Ferry'?"

Bai Pu's voice changed.

Xiao Yuling looked surprised: "How did you know?"

"Heh." Bai Pu's face turned ashen, and he said, word by word: "That's good."

He slowly turned and said to the man in black: "Sir, do you know that despite all your schemes, you are still one move behind?"

A cold glint flashed in Xiao Leng's eyes, and he said nothing, his gaze falling on Liang Wenjing.

Bai Pu said: "As the saying goes, 'substituting one for another,' the one you killed was just a stand-in. The real Prince of Huai'an is right here."

"Oh!"

Xiao Yuling understood, "So you're on the side of that big Song dog king. Humph, you actually used a fake to trick us."

She glared at Liang Wenjing: "You're that dog king?"

Liang Wenjing was startled and quickly said: "I'm not a dog, so how can I be a dog king?"

Xiao Yuling was taken aback, momentarily stumped by his question.

"So what?"

Xiao Leng slowly stood up and said in a gloomy voice: "Whether real or fake, I'll kill him again."

"Ha." Bai Pu laughed loudly: "Sir, you have quite the big mouth. Can you really kill him?"

"Humph! You're just trying to probe me."

Xiao Yuling said angrily: "Let's kill you first."

The two of them each displayed their special skills and fought. Xiao Yuling's hands sometimes transformed like a demon, sometimes like the Buddha picking a flower, sometimes like playing a five-stringed instrument, and sometimes like playing a lute in reverse. Her changes were sudden and extreme, like mercury spilling on the ground, seeping into every crevice.

Facing such an attack, Bai Pu was like a small boat in a storm, tossed about by the waves, unable to control himself.

Xiao Yuling's attacks came in waves, but they were always kept at a distance of about a foot. When her attacks weakened slightly, Bai Pu's palm movements immediately expanded, and he counterattacked.

"Yuling, be careful."

Xiao Leng frowned slightly and said: "This person is using the 'Sumeru Mustard Seed Palm.' If you can't break through his one-foot 'Mustard Seed Circle,' it won't be good."

In the time it took to say a few words, the 'Mustard Seed Circle' had already expanded to two feet. Xiao Yuling felt the pressure increase sharply, and her movements gradually became restricted, her attacks slightly delayed. In that instant, the 'Mustard Seed Circle' suddenly expanded, and Bai Pu's palm power surged, transforming into boundless Sumeru.

The offensive and defensive positions were immediately reversed. In less than ten moves, Xiao Yuling could only defend and had no strength to counterattack. She flipped backward, kicking a table toward Bai Pu and shouted: "Xiao Leng, come and help me."

Bai Pu shattered the wooden table, but this move caused his attack to stall momentarily.

Xiao Yuling immediately took advantage of the opening, launching fierce and venomous attacks at him, shouting: "Xiao Leng, attack his back; Xiao Leng, cut his left hand; Xiao Leng, kick his butt..."

Bai Pu, distracted, was immediately thrown into a state of chaos.

"You shameless woman." Yan Gang cursed.

"What did you say?"

Xiao Leng's gaze was like a knife, sweeping over him, "I didn't want to take advantage of your weakness, but since you dare to insult my junior sister, I won't let you live."

He stepped toward Yan Gang and said: "But I'll still give you a fair fight. Draw your sword!"

Bai Pu laughed loudly, forcing back Xiao Yuling with a palm, and stood in front of everyone, fanning himself leisurely: "Sir, your opponent is Bai Pu."

"Hey, we're not done yet!"

Xiao Yuling put her hands on her hips and shouted.

Bai Pu smiled slightly: "Didn't you want your senior brother to help? Both of you can come at me together."

"Fine!"

Xiao Yuling beamed: "If you're asking for death, don't blame us." She was about to step forward.

Xiao Leng shook his head: "Yuling, don't interfere."

He looked straight at Bai Pu: "I use a saber."

Bai Pu said: "I'll use this fan."

"You should use a sword." Xiao Leng frowned.

Bai Pu smiled: "A folding fan is enough."

Xiao Leng was about to get angry when he suddenly heard Xiao Yuling say: "I'll use a saber too."

She drew a short, blue-tinged saber from her sleeve.

Xiao Leng frowned deeply: "What are you doing?"

"He's clearly my opponent, but you insist on competing with me."

Xiao Yuling pouted: "Last time at 'Immortal Ferry,' you did it alone. This time, I want to kill too."

Xiao Leng was at a loss: "Killing and arson are men's business. Master only wanted you to follow me to gain experience, not to kill."

"Humph, you and Master like killing so much, it must be a lot of fun." Xiao Yuling said: "I want to try it."

Hearing Xiao Yuling and Xiao Leng's conversation, Li Wuqing frowned. A beautiful girl talking about killing was truly a spoilsport.

Xiao Yuling's nature wasn't necessarily bad, but she had followed the wrong master, developing a spoiled and willful personality, which was repulsive.

Bai Pu and Xiao Yuling were fighting, and Li Wuqing watched from the sidelines, not intending to intervene. He didn't want to get involved in this meaningless conflict; his goal was to kill Xiao Leng.

After a self-assessment, Li Wuqing felt that his strength was slightly inferior to Xiao Leng's. However, while he might not be able to defeat him, he could still hold his own.

However, in front of Xiao Leng, Li Wuqing needed to hide himself. Once he made a move, it would be a thunderous strike, aiming for a one-hit kill.

"You actually don't listen to me." Xiao Leng was somewhat angry, "Aren't you afraid I'll use force?"

"Are you daring enough?"

In an instant, a blue light burst from Xiao Leng's hand, and a deep blue blade emerged from a black silk sheath, drawing a strange arc in the air and stopping at Xiao Yuling's throat.

"I mean what I say."

Xiao Leng said coldly.

"If you have the ability, kill me then."

Tears welled up in Xiao Yuling's eyes, but she stepped forward regardless of the blade at her throat, "Kill me then, since Master isn't here, you can bully me as you please."

Xiao Leng's intention was to scare her. Seeing her reaction, he quickly retracted his hand: "If you don't listen to me, I have to discipline you."

"Who asked you to discipline me?"

Xiao Yuling stomped her foot and rushed out of the inn.

"Where are you going?"

Xiao Leng took a step, seemingly shrinking the distance, and was about to chase after her.

"Trying to escape?"

Yan Gang stepped in front of him, swinging his saber.

"Brother Yan, don't."

Amid the clash of metal, the three of them moved like rabbits, separating instantly.

Yan Gang retreated five steps and fell, holding the broken half of his nine-ring saber in a daze.

Bai Pu and Xiao Leng stood facing each other, their clothes fluttering despite the lack of wind.

"Such a venomous saber technique."

Bai Pu said slowly. Xiao Leng glanced at Liang Wenjing, said nothing, and strode out of the inn to chase Xiao Yuling.

"Mr. Bai, how can you let him go like that?"

Duanmu Changge said: "If we don't join forces to kill him, won't it be a great danger?"

Bai Pu's face showed a bitter smile, and with a clatter, two segments of his folding fan fell.

"Killing this person is no easy task." He sighed: "If he's determined to leave, even a joint effort won't stop him."

"If we want to kill him, it's indeed difficult, but if there's a good opportunity, it might not be impossible."

Li Wuqing looked meaningfully at Duanmu Changge and said mysteriously.
