Chapter 51

Mobei's Three Heroes approached Shen Lian step by step, their anger ignited by his words just now.

Each step was heavy, the three moving in unison, and it seemed as if the tiles on the roof were trembling. It was unclear whether it was due to the heavy rain outside or the steps of the three, causing the tiles to ripple.

Three men, six fists, each capable of killing a bull with a single punch.

Facing these three fierce men, Shen Lian seemed somewhat uninterested.

When the six fists aimed at six vital points on his body, Shen Lian slightly bowed, swaying left and right like a drunkard, his movements chaotic but precisely evading each punch.

This was a technique he had learned from Bai Yufei's movements, different from Bai Yufei's but both derived from the concept of 'balance.'

The sound of the punches whistling past his ears drowned out the heavy rain.

He casually placed a hand on one of their shoulders, hooked another's knee with his foot, and then pushed the one he had grabbed into the third.

The three men, like puppets in a puppet show, were manipulated by Shen Lian, entangled in a mess, unable to extricate themselves.

When they fell to the ground, they formed a large ball of flesh.

Mobei's Three Heroes were well-known figures in the martial world, but Shen Lian's effortless handling of them was not what 'Little Master' had expected.

His attention had been drawn to the short-haired monk earlier, and by the time he regained his senses, the three men had already been dealt with.

Although the three possessed extraordinary strength, Shen Lian's divine intent far surpassed theirs, allowing him to penetrate their defenses with minimal effort.

"You are no ordinary person. What is your name?" 'Little Master' blinked, his expression becoming serious, a faint light seeming to emanate from his charming eyelashes.

"Who I am, you probably wouldn't recognize. Who you are, I don't want to know." Shen Lian replied calmly, his divine intent concentrated, ready to release his soul to attack at any moment.

The reason was that 'Little Master's' previous methods were indeed concerning.

Originally, after the fox spirit's warning, he would not use the God-Slaying Sword unless absolutely necessary, but in this world, things don't always go as planned.

"I know your name even if you don't tell me. You should be surnamed Shen, right?" 'Little Master' smiled slightly.

"I also know that you are Xiao Zhu, Xiao as in 'Xiao Se' and Zhu as in 'Bamboo Leaf,' the young master of Guiyun Manor." The one speaking was not Shen Lian but the short-haired monk, who appeared to be asleep.

Guiyun Manor and Mingjian Manor, one in the south and one in the north, were the most ancient martial arts sanctuaries in the Great Wei martial world, with a history of a thousand years, much longer than the Great Wei dynasty.

Shen Lian had not expected to meet Ye Liuyun, the young master of Mingjian Manor, and now Xiao Zhu, the young master of Guiyun Manor.

As the heirs of these martial arts sanctuaries, it was no wonder they could recognize the affairs of the martial world and discern Shen Lian's background at a glance.

Xiao Zhu gently tapped his white, jade-like palm with a folding fan, tilting his head slightly and smiling, "So you are the monk Kuhui, who once attended my coming-of-age banquet. You even gave me a string of living Buddha beads as a gift. No wonder you look familiar."

"Everyone says you could remember things from birth. I thought it was a joke, but it seems to be true." Kuhui said thoughtfully.

"Have you met Ye Liuyun three years ago? Compared to him, who is stronger?" Xiao Zhu stopped tapping his palm with the fan, seemingly more interested in the comparison between him and Ye Liuyun than in pursuing Shen Lian.

"If you don't use the 'Vajra Talisman,' even two of you wouldn't be a match for Ye Liuyun. Besides, you two are a pair, and he is slightly stronger, so he will have a better future." Kuhui smiled.

Shen Lian was suddenly enlightened. Xiao Zhu was actually a woman, and Guiyun Manor and Mingjian Manor had no enmity but were in-laws.

The protective aura shield 'Little Master' used earlier might be related to the Vajra Talisman, which could be a divine technique.

"The Vajra Talisman is from my family, so it is mine. Why can you use precious swords and divine swords, but I cannot use talismans?" Xiao Zhu huffed, showing a hint of coquettishness.

Shen Lian thought to himself: This woman is unpredictable and values human life lightly. Ye Liuyun, with his high and self-righteous nature, will have a hard time if he marries her.

Thinking of Ye Liuyun's proud character, paired with Xiao Zhu, Shen Lian didn't dare to imagine further.

"Even with the Vajra Talisman, you are no match for this Shen Lian." Kuhui pointed at Shen Lian and smiled faintly.

"What's so great about him? Even Ling Chongxiao couldn't break the Vajra Talisman." Xiao Zhu said coldly, thinking that Shen Lian, despite his 'Jade Prince' reputation, was far from capable of breaking the Vajra Talisman.

The talisman was from the world of immortals, requiring no true qi.

It only needed a slight mental cultivation to activate, creating an invisible aura shield that could not be broken by ordinary means.

As long as the stored essence was not depleted, the invisible aura shield could remain active.

When not in use, the Vajra Talisman had a small array that could absorb the essence of heaven and earth, replenishing the consumed essence.

The process of absorbing the essence of heaven and earth could also subtly improve the physical constitution of the wearer.

Even in the world of immortals, it was considered a precious item.

"Has he mastered the God-Slaying Sword? Can it break it?" Kuhui asked slowly.

Shen Lian thought: It seems my secrets cannot be hidden from those with intent. Fortunately, no one knows I have practiced the 'Supreme Clarity Spirit Treasure Natural Heart Locking and Soul Stabilizing True Explanation.'

He had already noticed that there were no specific techniques for cultivating the soul in the martial world, and he had no way of knowing about the world of immortals.

Shen Lian's ability to gradually transcend the mundane was largely due to the 'Supreme Clarity Spirit Treasure Natural Heart Locking and Soul Stabilizing True Explanation,' a technique of unknown origin.

Xiao Zhu glanced at Shen Lian and said, "Apart from Yang Xuan, that madman, who else would practice such a life-shortening technique? How could Ling Chongxiao let him live and even teach him martial arts?"

"Others who practice the God-Slaying Sword either die prematurely or fall into the path of madness like Yang Xuan, but Mr. Shen is an exception."

"Why should I believe you?" Xiao Zhu smiled coldly.

"Do you want to try?"

"Hey, Mr. Shen, have you really mastered the God-Slaying Sword?" Xiao Zhu asked Shen Lian directly.

"Probably."

"What do you mean by 'probably'?" Xiao Zhu's dark eyes stared at Shen Lian curiously.

"I can indeed use the God-Slaying Sword. If your invisible aura shield cannot defend against mental attacks, then I can indeed defeat you." Shen Lian replied calmly.

Since she was Ye Liuyun's fiancée and a young girl, Shen Lian did not want to cause unnecessary trouble. After all, he still wanted to learn about the Qingxuan sect's selection of disciples through Ye Liuyun.

As for why Xiao Zhu was opposing Ye Liuyun, it was none of his business, and he had no interest in it.

Suddenly, a few coughs were heard, clearly audible to the three in the hall.
