Chapter 862: The Sword River of Clarity

The eight great masters of the Demon Sect all mastered their martial arts from The Heavenly Demon Strategy. Not only were their skills unparalleled, but each also possessed unique tactics. Xi Ying, standing before them, ranked fourth among the eight major sects of the Demon Sect—behind the Yin Queen, the Evil King, and the Demon Marshal. He earned the title “Heavenly Monarch” due to his mastery of Purple Qi Heavenly Net. Once martial artists fell into this net, they would be relentlessly attacked until they were utterly defenseless, as if heaven and earth themselves refused to aid them.

Yet, Shi Feixuan and Wanwan had now officially broken through to the Mythical Realm. Though weaker than Xi Ying, they were still capable of defending themselves.

Shadows of swords flashed! The moment the purple net enveloped them, Shi Feixuan acted swiftly. Snow-white sword auras intertwined in the air, rapidly forming a sword river that illuminated the night sky!

Swish swish! With the momentum of a rushing river, the snow-white sword auras burst forth!

Swish swish!! Sharp sword energies soared into the sky!! The power of the suddenly unleashed sword river was immense—it forcibly tore a gap through the purple net…

“Heavenly Monarch” Xi Ying let out a furious cry. “Cihang Sword Scripture!” But it was too late; he was hit by the aftereffects of the sword river. Blood gushed from his chest as he was sent flying hundreds of meters away.

Shi Feixuan wasn’t faring any better… Activating the secret techniques of the Sword Scripture placed immense strain on her body. With Wanwan, who was tasked with flanking attacks, watching, she immediately intensified the effects of The Heavenly Demon Art the moment she saw her internal energy waning. Unnoticed, Wanwan also sent two palm strikes from afar!

“Kai Xin, go!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Shi Feixuan suddenly felt a gust of wind approaching. Too weak to dodge in time, she took two palm strikes from Wanwan. Her delicate body tumbled like a kite with its string cut, falling far away.

Kai Xin was busy dealing with Rong Sen… Seeing Shi Feixuan in trouble, he immediately flew after her without hesitation.

“Trying to run?”

Rong Sen had been prepared to go all out. Seeing Kai Xin about to abandon him again, he flew into rage. He exerted force beneath his feet, using the Dragon Elephant Technique, causing the ground within dozens of meters to shake violently. Invisible shockwaves spread out wildly, trying to block Kai Xin’s vital energy flow and speed…

But to no avail.

Kai Xin landed without delay and continued flying straight toward where Shi Feixuan had fallen.

Seeing this, Rong Sen was stunned. The Dragon Elephant power he had unleashed had not had the slightest effect on Kai Xin… Confused, a fierce surge of Dragon Elephant energy suddenly rushed back from the ground.

Bang!!

A sense of oppression filled his chest, and Rong Sen’s pursuit was instantly halted by this force mixed with multiple layers of internal energy, forcing him to stop. With this stop, the distance between them quickly widened to over thirty meters. “What a ‘Star Shift’ technique,” Rong Sen muttered gloomily, staring at Shi Feixuan’s joyful figure as she continued running, giving up completely. Although the ‘Prajna Dragon Elephant Skill’ didn’t require much caution even against experts at the Mythical Realm, facing Xi Kai, he felt at a loss. Though he could remain undefeated against Xi Kai, Xi Kai could start fighting or leave whenever he wanted—something completely beyond his control. This feeling… was equivalent to defeat. … At this moment, Xi Kai’s situation wasn’t good. Shi Feixuan in his arms was seriously injured! Even though Rong Sen, that giant elephant, couldn’t catch up, Xi Ying and Wan Wan were chasing behind them. One was not severely injured and ranked fourth among the eight top experts of the Demon Sect; the other was newly at the Mythical Realm, with strength on par with Shi Feixuan. Even if Shi Feixuan were in perfect condition, she would likely lose in a fight, let alone now that she clearly had no strength left to fight… With a beauty in his arms, sadly, Xi Kai didn’t have any romantic thoughts at all. He summoned Hoof Shadow and quickly activated the Human-Horse Unity technique, continuing to run at full speed. “Young man from the Murong family, leave Shi Feixuan behind, and I’ll spare your life!” Xi Ying shouted while chasing, trying to intimidate him. Wan Wan’s tone was much gentler. “Young hero Xi Kai, I think you’d better not try to save her. Your horse can carry you alone, but two people… hehe… you won’t be able to escape.” Xi Kai smiled bitterly. Although the Human-Horse Unity technique increased his speed, the weight of two people made it difficult for Hoof Shadow to keep up, so his speed remained normal and couldn’t be increased. If it weren’t for Xi Kai occasionally sending out a strike behind him, the two of them would have already fallen into the hands of the Demon Sect. But… the two behind them were still closing in, and they would catch up in less than half a minute. “Young hero Xi Kai, put me down. Go ahead by yourself. Feixuan can’t let you die too,” Shi Feixuan said. Though seriously injured, she was still conscious. After being struck by Wan Wan’s palms, her body was weak, and she could barely muster strength. Seeing Wan Wan and Xi Ying closing in to within dozens of meters, anxiety flashed across her face. If Shi Feixuan could notice this, surely Xi Kai could too. If they continued running like this, they would soon be caught. With an injured person in his arms, Xi Kai fighting against two opponents—there was no doubt about the outcome; it was obvious even without thinking.

“Miss Shi, I’ll just ask one question. We’ve already figured out everything about them. Can we go back and report to the marshal?”
“Since Tianjun Xiying and the witch Wanwan are both here, there’s no doubt about the scouts being killed. We can certainly go back and report to the marshal to clear the King of Qin of suspicion. But…” Shi Feixuan said, “If it’s just your word alone, the marshal might not believe you, unless the two of them appear in front of the camp.”
“If it’s Miss Shi who explains things to the marshal personally, will he believe her?” Kai Xin pressed on.
“Well…”
Shi Feixuan honestly nodded. “If it’s Feixuan who explains things to the marshal, with the credibility of Cihang Jingzhai backing it, the marshal will surely believe her. But right now…”
“Then there’s no problem.”
Kai Xin quickly took out a small pill from his Qiankun bag and put it in Shi Feixuan’s mouth. “You ride away. I’ll hold them off for you!”
“No! You alone…”
After all, Shi Feixuan was a recluse. Hearing Kai Xin’s proposal, her emotions became extremely turbulent.
But Kai Xin was determined!
He couldn’t let anything happen to Shi Feixuan. Rather than dying together, it was better to send her away and stay behind to block the enemies… Without giving her a chance to object, he shook his wrist, placed the reins in her hands, leaped off the horse, and at the moment he left the saddle, he whipped her buttocks with the reins!
The horse, in pain, immediately galloped away at full speed.
“I’ll go after that girl from Cihang Jingzhai. I leave this kid to you.” Tianjun Xiying saw Kai Xin’s plans and prepared to pass by him at full speed.
He clearly underestimated Kai Xin…
With a shake of his wrist, he sent a rain of sword lights at Xiying; at the same time, a snow-white, icy beam shot out swiftly toward Wanwan—the Little Li Flying Knife!
The moment he acted, Kai Xin unleashed his full strength, brimming with murderous intent.
