Chapter 215: Needle Transference Technique, Heir of the Sunflower Manual

“Damn it!”
“Where did this demon come from?”
One man, his face pale, stumbled into the depths of the forest, his eyes filled with terror. He was the brother of Orange who had never participated in the fratricidal battles. Since he had good relations with both sides, he volunteered to track down the Year Beast. From the start of the fierce fighting, he had pursued the beast, inflicting more wounds and slashes on its bloody body. Yet, he was also “fortunate” enough to witness the entire process of his fellow disciples being killed by those strange-looking “mysterious men” with flying needles. If not for the Year Beast, which was on the verge of death and about to explode, he would have fled as far away as possible.

But with Orange at hand, the Year Beast really couldn’t withstand many more blows. Yet this was just an ordinary player at the Creation Realm, without any advanced martial skills—this was awkward. Even after slashing at the beast dozens of times with force, it still staggered forward like a wounded lion. The man was desperate, crying over what he could do, watching anxiously as the beast continued to move, so frustrated he almost vomited blood. If things went on like this, that strange guy would surely catch up. By then, if the Year Beast didn’t die, it would be him who died…

“Damn! Just die already!”
Unaware of it, the path ahead suddenly opened up, revealing a pink peach orchard. The Year Beast, oblivious, continued to move forward despite its injuries. The man was shocked and immediately recognized it as the location of the Outer Gate of the famous Yihua Palace in Wuhu. Its disciples wore masks and were skilled thieves, extremely powerful. They not only possessed advanced lightness skills and swordsmanship but also had some ability to transfer injuries, allowing them to reduce damage significantly. They were at the late Mysterious Realm. Usually, those who accidentally entered the peach orchard and encountered these masked female thieves never made it out alive.

“Damn! What bad luck!”
The man was utterly despondent. Behind him was a ferocious killing god, and ahead lay a dead end—no matter which way he went, death awaited. But then he thought…
“What if the other guy encounters those masked female thieves when he enters the peach orchard?”
This idea quickly took root in his mind. “There’s a chance!” His spirit lifted, and he followed closely behind the Year Beast, mustering courage to enter the orchard and speeding up his attacks on the beast. Unfortunately…

Not long after chasing into the Peach Blossom Forest, a feminine-sounding demonic voice arose from all directions at once, “Still running?” The formidable presence descending from the sky not only caught the attention of several masked female thieves around but also instantly frightened the man who had just begun to think of survival and prosperity. Turning around, he saw a mysterious man dressed in colorful brocade, standing 20 meters away with a cold smirk, hovering in mid-air in a highly dramatic manner.

“Damn it… Ugh!”

Before the man could finish his vulgar curses, the mysterious man raised his hand and fired a flying needle.

Cough!

Spitting out blood, the man struggled to open his mouth in horror, trying to cut the thread of the flying needle that had pierced his mouth with his sword, but the sword failed to sever it—the thread was as tough as steel. This only caused even more pain and led to him spitting out another mouthful of blood; he was completely unable to get free.

“…Demon…!”

The mysterious man stood hovering in front of him. Hearing the man’s strained curses, he said nothing and didn’t kill him right away. After giving the beast a casual glance, he fired another flying needle, catching the blindly fleeing beast, then suddenly turned, raising his chin with a charming gaze as he looked down at two pink figures approaching from both sides.

A pink handkerchief gently touched his red lips;

As the mysterious man’s feminized movements became more and more natural, his power grew astonishingly, as if any feminized action he took could strengthen his strength.

“Who dares to invade my Peach Blossom Forest of the Flower-Picking Palace?”

A clear and sharp cry rang out. Two masked female thieves appeared in their sight, ignoring the brothers who were controlled to the point of barely being able to speak, and fixed their serious gazes on the mysterious man hovering in mid-air like a god or demon…

Noticing the thread of the flying needle in his hand, the masked female thieves’ expressions changed. “Cough! Cough!” Their swords were drawn simultaneously, their cold lights aimed at the mysterious man:

“Needle Transfer Technique! Sunflower Secret Manual! Who are you, a follower of Dongfang Bubai?”

“What’s your intention coming to our Peach Blossom Forest of the Flower-Picking Skill? Speak!”

“…”

Hearing this, the mysterious man sneered disdainfully, lightly flicking his hair aside, then turned his gaze away, clearly having no interest in talking to these NPCs.

“Madman! Die!”

The pink figures flashed, and the two masked female thieves turned at the same time, leaving afterimages behind as they quickly appeared 10 meters away. Their speed and agility were terrifying.

As the two moved, the mysterious man swiftly spun in mid-air, tossing his pink handkerchief even higher. With rapid flicks of his hands, he finally dealt with those unnamed foes. Soft threads erupted with astonishing force, pulling the massive beast back and causing it to crash into the dust not far away.

Freeing his hands, the mysterious man fired needles that dragged behind them bright threads, shooting in all directions and producing a hissing sound as they cut through the air.

The masked female thief’s expression changed drastically as she stopped in haste and swung her sword.

Ding ding!

A martial arts expert at the later stages of the Mysterious Realm was by no means comparable to a novice player just entering the martial world. Most of the ten needles were sent flying in an instant. Yet a few still pierced through the masked thief’s defenses, scratching her body.

The mysterious man, like a celestial being, moved through the air without relying on any objects, emitting a soft, feminine-like melody while circling around the masked thieves, continuously shooting needles that left tiny wounds on their pink dresses.

He single-handedly kept the two masked thieves at bay, his strength truly astonishing!

Just as it seemed the masked thieves could not escape being killed by the mysterious man, suddenly, he changed his expression mid-air, altering his movements abruptly. One of the needles deviated from its original path and direction, shooting deep into the peach blossom forest, accompanied by a sharp hiss:

“Come out!”

The needle disappeared into the forest without a trace.

The next moment, a young man emerged from the depths of the peach blossom forest. His face appeared calm, but traces of suppressed laughter could still be seen.

The mysterious man’s expression turned extremely ugly.

“Laugh again, and I’ll sew your mouth shut!”

His voice was as sharp as ever, with a hint of femininity.

“What? I didn’t do anything to you! I was just practicing here when I heard some noise and came to take a look. Okay, okay, don’t worry, I won’t tell anyone. Sister, please don’t kill me, okay?”

The man had a playful, irreverent expression—wasn’t he Xiao Bei, who had entered the peach blossom forest to practice with Suikai?

“Shut up!”

The mysterious man’s gaze sharpened, and two needles shot out from his sleeves.
