Chapter 14

As the masked man was crushed, the little red bird flapped its wings proudly and finally disappeared into the air.

Everything returned to calm.

Lü Shaoqing sheathed his long sword and looked at the mess in front of him.

He grumbled with great dissatisfaction, "Damn, so weak?"

"If I had known he was so weak, I would have held back a bit."

"Ah, what a waste."

After saying that, Lü Shaoqing slowly approached Zhang Zheng.

Zhang Zheng was seriously injured and had already lost consciousness.

Without hesitation, Lü Shaoqing began to plunder Zhang Zheng.

"Still have the nerve to call yourself Zhang Conglong's brother, how can you be so poor?"

"No treasures, only about a hundred spirit stones, you poor devil."

Lü Shaoqing stood up and sneered, "A poor devil dares to provoke me?"

After saying that, he prepared to leave.

Fang Xiao, watching Lü Shaoqing prepare to leave, couldn't help but feel a sigh of relief.

Suddenly!

A long sword pierced the air, grazing past Fang Xiao's head and slicing the tree behind her into a cloud of dust.

Fang Xiao felt as if a sun had passed over her head.

The fierce sword intent almost made her cry out.

"Huh, was it an illusion?"

Lü Shaoqing turned around, glanced at where Fang Xiao was, and then shook his head and left.

"Big Brother, that bastard, causing so much trouble."

"I told him to be decisive, not to be a saint. If he had killed decisively, there wouldn't be so much trouble."

Fang Xiao didn't move; she continued to stay in place, not daring to move.

Lü Shaoqing's senses were so sharp; she almost got discovered.

She never thought she would witness Lü Shaoqing's true strength here.

Core Formation stage.

Such strength, among the young generation in Qizhou, very few could achieve it.

The top disciples of the three major sects were all at the Core Formation stage, and among the young generation of the Qizhou cultivation families, none had reached the Core Formation stage.

Moreover, the three major sects had not heard of any other young disciples reaching the Core Formation stage besides the top disciples.

Today, Fang Xiao saw it.

This was not what shocked Fang Xiao.

What shocked Fang Xiao was that Lü Shaoqing had also comprehended the Sword Intent.

And he had reached the second level of the Sword Intent.

Sword Intent Manifestation.

The Sword Intent has three levels: Sword Intent Heart Transformation, Sword Intent Manifestation, and Sword Heart Divine Connection.

Among the young generation in Qizhou, very few had comprehended the Sword Intent.

Let alone the second level of the Sword Intent.

Ji Yan had comprehended the second level of the Sword Intent, making it easy for him to challenge higher levels.

He relied on this to kill an enemy who had just entered the Nascent Soul stage with his Core Formation cultivation.

With his Sword Intent, he dominated all the young people in Qizhou, becoming the first among the young generation.

Xia Yu of the Twin Moon Valley and Zhang Conglong of the Guiyuan Pavilion had not comprehended the Sword Intent.

Many people knew how formidable Ji Yan was, so they gave up on the title of the first person and competed for the second place.

Today, after witnessing Lü Shaoqing's strength.

Fang Xiao felt that the title of the second person in Qizhou should not be contested by others; they should compete for the third place.

Fang Xiao finally understood what Lü Shaoqing meant when he said he was afraid of accidentally killing Zhang Zheng and Wu Tianzong in the tavern.

Lü Shaoqing really had that strength.

When Fang Xiao was about to remove her disguise and leave, her body suddenly stiffened.

Lü Shaoqing reappeared from the darkness, his gaze sharp, looking in her direction.

"Was it really an illusion?"

Lü Shaoqing muttered to himself.

Then he slowly disappeared.

Under the moonlight, a night breeze blew.

Fang Xiao's scalp tingled, her heart filled with fear.

This guy was even more terrifying than she imagined.

Not only was he skilled and decisive in killing, but he was also meticulous and extremely cautious.

Because of a little suspicion, he deliberately left and returned to verify if anyone was around.

Fang Xiao didn't dare to move or leave.

If Lü Shaoqing discovered her, she might be silenced.

Lü Shaoqing had such formidable strength but remained unknown, even to many in the Lingxiao Sect.

This showed how low-key and secretive Lü Shaoqing was.

If she accidentally saw Lü Shaoqing's strength, would he consider her an enemy and cause a misunderstanding?

Fang Xiao didn't dare to take the risk.

If Lü Shaoqing discovered her, with her strength, she would definitely not be his match.

Fang Xiao stood there, not daring to move.

Until the sun came up and the birds chirped in the forest, Fang Xiao dared to sigh in relief.

She stood there all night, not daring to move.

Looking in the direction of the Lingxiao Sect, Fang Xiao

silently thought to herself.

Too terrifying.

Was it the Lingxiao Sect that was terrifying, or was it Lü Shaoqing?

Fang Xiao didn't know.

At this moment, people came from a distance and soon appeared in front of Fang Xiao.

Zhang Jin, Xie Chong, and Wu Tianzong rushed over.

Seeing the large-scale battle traces, as if a storm had swept through, they were greatly shocked.

Then they found Fang Xiao.

Zhang Jin showed a look of joy, "Miss, are you okay? It's great, you didn't come back all night, which worried me a lot."

Wu Tianzong asked Fang Xiao, "Miss Fang, did you see Senior Brother Zhang?"

Fang Xiao pointed in a direction, and Wu Tianzong ran over, finding Zhang Zheng.

He screamed as if his life force had been pinched, "Senior Brother, what happened to you?"

"Come to your senses, wake up quickly."

Fang Xiao also walked over, and seeing the scene, she couldn't help but blush and quickly turned her head away.

Zhang Zheng was stripped of his clothes, leaving only his underpants.

His belongings were plundered.

However!

Fang Xiao's peripheral vision caught a glimpse of the marks on Zhang Zheng's underpants.

That guy!

Fang Xiao didn't know how to describe Lü Shaoqing.

Extremely powerful, yet capable of such shameless acts.

What kind of person was he?

Fang Xiao felt curious.

Fang Xiao glanced at Zhang Jin and said to him, "Uncle Zhang, go back to the Fang family today, don't stay here."

"I'll take care of the tavern."
