Chapter 106: Flower Knight’s Slash

“Very good!”
The fan-wielding man’s secret weapon technique, involving a gun-like strike with a black snake’s fang, was effortlessly avoided by Kai Xin. The disappointment of missing his target made him furious, almost to the point of vomiting blood. By the time he recovered, Kai Xin was already ten meters away. The two other brothers were either dead or injured, turning even paler and more ferocious in expression. He roared, “I’ll remember your name, Kai Xin… Wait! You’ve provoked the Zi Yang Gate for no reason. From now on, the Zi Yang Gate will hunt you to the death!” The last words were spat out through gritted teeth, showing just how intense his hatred for Kai Xin was.
“…Zi Yang Gate.”
With a cold snort, Kai Xin seized the opportunity to shoot a willow-leaf dagger from between the four men in front of him.
Whoosh!
Due to the surge of internal energy, the fan-wielding man’s hearing was far less sharp, and his movements weren’t at their best. Seeing the sudden flash of light, he panicked and closed his eyes, ready to die.
Snap!
A swift whip-like shadow appeared, precisely knocking the dagger away half a meter in front of the fan-wielding man, saving him from danger. But it was Gui Xuan who did it.
Even so, Gui Xuan showed no sign of relief. The pressure exerted by Kai Xin was too great! It was the first time he had encountered a player so unpredictable—his moves were ingenious, as graceful as an antelope’s horns, and utterly effortless. In a one-on-one fight, Gui Xuan had no chance.
But earlier, the young master “Xiao Bai Long” had declared that they would fight to the death, leaving Gui Xuan unable to say any soothing words. He could only quietly order his injured brother to send a messenger pigeon for help.
Unluckily, the red coral beside him was shrewd. With a glance, she exposed the truth: “Handsome guy, there are still seven of them. Hurry up! The Zi Yang Gate is powerful and has many strong members. Once they call for reinforcements, no matter how skilled you are, you won’t be able to withstand their coordinated attacks… By then, that Fang Yu Jue might fall into their hands.”
“If you don’t talk, you’ll die!”
Outside, the fan-wielding man “Xiao Bai Long,” the injured man, and Gui Xuan all glared fiercely at her, regretting not having seen through her vicious nature earlier and not dealing with her sooner.
Kai Xin, who was fighting against the four experts at the Fate Realm, suddenly laughed loudly. “Good!” He changed his sword stance and spun like a top, diving into the group of four. Holding his battle sword horizontally, it circled around his waist, and suddenly, its blade glow intensified—Flower Knight’s Slash!

The four of them paled drastically. Caught off guard, they were sliced by the suddenly fierce blade light, blood spraying everywhere. In his panic, the last man was pierced in the back by a flying knife thrown by Happy, who had suddenly stopped. All four were killed. Happy took a deep breath to calm the exhaustion and emptiness in his dantian caused by using his deadly move. That move was extremely famous—it was one of the three most lethal techniques among the 36 moves of “The Ballad of the Flower Heroes.” Over time, it gradually drained internal energy, but when used suddenly, its speed increased dramatically and its lethality rose, making it a powerful group-killing secret technique! In his past life, Happy had never used this move against players because it was too revealing, but against early-stage players, it seemed quite effective. The atmosphere in the ancient tomb hall instantly became strange… Only Gui Xuan, the “Little White Dragon” who was fanning himself, and the man who had been injured earlier could stand firm. Clearly, the three of them had overestimated their companions’ ability to buy time. When they suddenly found all four dead, their shock was unimaginable. Their expressions changed drastically as they unconsciously gathered together. At this moment, Happy seemed like a demon god to them. Even Gui Xuan felt insecure facing him alone. “Sir, you may take Yu Jue. Consider today a loss for our Zi Yang Sect… How about that?” Seeing Happy approaching step by step, Gui Xuan took a deep breath before finally speaking softly. After all, it wasn’t easy for anyone to reach this level. Dying once meant suffering from injuries for a month, reducing their combat strength, which was equivalent to losing a level of internal energy, having a significant impact on their future development. “If you had said that earlier, so many people wouldn’t have died…” Happy smiled coldly before pointing at the man with the fan: “You can leave, but… this man must stay.” The three, who had shown surprise earlier, immediately looked grim again upon hearing this… The Little White Dragon was the son of their sect leader, their young master. Leaving him behind and asking them to return meant they wouldn’t know how to face their leader—this was even worse than dying. Before Happy finished speaking, he continued to stare coldly at Gui Xuan’s face: “When you return, tell your Zi Yang Sect leader that today’s words—‘no death, no peace’—might become reality…” “…” Gui Xuan’s forehead was covered in cold sweat. The other party was asking “whether” or not, not “if” it would happen. Though it was just a difference of one word, the other party showed a clear intention. He had no doubt that if the sect leader became enraged, Zi Yang Sect might face a devastating attack from him. Driven by some impulse, Gui Xuan took a breath and nodded.

“I’ll pass the message on.”
After a pause, he added with a bitter smile, “But I won’t abandon my brother. If we’re going to leave, we’ll go together; if we’re going to die, we’ll die fighting side by side!” His words were filled with unwavering determination.
Hearing Gui Xuan’s reply, Kai Xin’s gaze toward her softened considerably, and even Hong Shanhu showed a hint of approval.
To face certain death with such generosity—indeed, there were still such men in the martial world!
But…
Kai Xin wasn’t going to let him have his way.
In a flash, he rushed at Gui Xuan at full speed.
Gui Xuan’s expression tightened as she raised her wrist. The metal whip instantly became like a serpent, leaving a trail in the air as it struck at Kai Xin with swift and decisive movements, countering him before he could react.
Due to its length and flexibility, the metal whip was not only highly offensive but also outperformed ordinary weapons in speed and reach. Yet Kai Xin knew of one major flaw in whip techniques: they relied too much on skill, had a slow recovery time, and their intimidating effect paled in comparison to their actual combat effectiveness. As a result, few in the martial world could use whips to match top experts. Some experts remained at the beginner level even after years of practice.
Unperturbed, Kai Xin caught the curve of her wrist, shifted slightly, and effortlessly dodged her attack before closing in on her.
Gui Xuan’s face twisted in pain.
As the top expert of Zi Yang Gate, she had defeated no fewer than a dozen players at the Creation Realm under her whip attacks. Yet in Kai Xin’s eyes, it seemed like child’s play—a devastating blow.
Seeing him charge straight at her, his fierce gaze and oppressive aura forcing her to instinctively give up resistance and close her eyes…
Bang!
Gui Xuan was sent flying by the back of the sword. The injured man tried to rescue her with his sword, but it was too late.
With a swift kick, Kai Xin sent him flying far away, then moved swiftly and appeared in front of the man with the fan:
“It’s your turn.”
The latter’s face turned pale.
At this moment, all traces of resentment and anger from earlier had vanished—after witnessing him effortlessly outmaneuvering a group of Zi Yang Gate’s top experts, he wondered if he really still had the courage to fight to the death.
