Chapter 589: Chapter 335: Sword Pressure Over All Sects, This Child Is Not Human! Honeyed Words, Cai Shang’s Delight

She is the ’Sword Elder’ of the Lake Mountain Sword Sect, holding an important position in the sect, her status is very high. Although advanced in age, she is well maintained, her complexion fair and youthful, her looks barely count as graceful, truly not belonging to the ’beauty’ type. With Xiao Wanjian’s precedent, she doesn’t dare to be arrogant. She knows secretly that Li Xian is strong, but she has learned the ’Water Blue Sword Technique’ and ’Lake Stepping Long Song Sword Technique’, both emphasizing gentleness.

Despite many restraints, the Water Blue Sword Technique is a lower sword technique, and the Lake Stepping Long Song Sword Technique is a middle sword technique, also with perfect mastery, executed flawlessly, not simple at all. Her swordsmanship appears floating, hiding numerous dangerous moves like entangling, chopping, scraping, and stabbing within the light moments.

Never meeting directly, she uses body movements and sword techniques to encircle every step. Although her swordsmanship is floating and soft, she is skillful and calm. Li Xian suddenly thought: "The bell tolling at this moment affects the true essence of sword techniques in battle. Although Elder Hu’s every sword contains killing intent, due to the lack of Inner Qi and Martial Arts evolvement, it seems like she is feeding me tricks, enhancing my experience in facing enemies. I might as well settle down to duel with this elder and comprehend the sword techniques’ subtlety." 𝚏𝗿𝗲𝐞𝚠𝕖𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝕖𝚕.𝚌𝗼𝗺

He deploys the Broken Demon Spear to calmly respond, its changes are uncanny and mysterious, differing from ordinary spear techniques. Combined with the Ghost Python Spear’s characteristics, it allows unexpected moves. Such entangling for dozens of moves neither secures dominance nor shows signs of defeat. Onlookers assume it is a narrow fight down the road, strength must meet strength. Wen Caishang felt slightly displeased and said, "Mr. Li La, defeat her quickly! This old woman is not your opponent, why do you keep letting her?"

Hu Yueyue chuckled coldly, thinking to herself: "You foolish woman, I’ll sever his head now and show you who wins and who loses!", then she instantly executed the move ’Diagonal Sword Robe·No Hole Unentered’ from the Lake Stepping Long Song Sword Technique. She thrusts directly forward yet secretly hides over ten deadly moves. If the opponent blocks, her sword will soften without edge, penetrating through the sleeves, collars, and other gaps in clothing to reach under them, striking vital points silently.

This move is a particularly lethal assassination sword style. Early in her career, Hu Yueyue was an assassin, using this sword technique face-to-face, the soft sword would slip into the clothes, leaving the opponent’s body in shambles, with the five viscera shattered. While the opponent’s clothing remains intact, and unaware that their life was lost, wandering absentmindedly for a day, then upon returning home at night, as they bathed and removed their clothes, their guts would spill out, scattered across the ground. Only then realizing their life was lost, it was truly horrifying.

She considers Li Xian’s ’Ghost Python Spear’ would also possess entwining and striking characteristics, which Xiao Wanjian previously failed to guard against, resulting in defeat under this spear technique. Now with this move ’Diagonal Sword Robe’, it implies one’s method is distinctive to itself. Seeing Li Xian indeed blocking, she takes advantage of an angled body shift, integrating footwork and swordsmanship, her longsword soft and odd, gets into Li Xian’s clothes from the sleeve.

Wen Caishang commented blandly, "Displaying inferior skills before an expert." Li Xian disregarded and thrust the spear straight. Hu Yueyue notices the soft sword is already concealed inside the clothing and immediately executed follow-up sword techniques: gut punch rupture, heart chaotic liver shatter..., but unexpectedly feels abnormal, the sword body dives into the clothing, yet it loses its nimbleness instead.

It turns out Li Xian is equipped with Pure Gang Qi Clothing, having already discerned Hu Yueyue’s intention, deliberately allowing the soft sword to penetrate the clothing, reaching the usual outerwear yet not entering the Pure Gang Qi Clothing underneath. Consequently, the precision of the move is slightly different, the power far distant. Li Xian then rolls up the sleeves, using both the cloth and Pure Gang Qi Clothing to clamp the soft sword inside. Retracting it, snatching the sword, simultaneously kicking back.

Hu Yueyue is sent flying out, crashing by the lakeshore, her face red and swollen. Both leading elders are deeply frustrated, their swords have been snatched. Li Xian pulls out the soft sword from his sleeve, examining briefly, then plants the sword into the ground.

Thus, two swords have been captured. Disciples and elders of the Sword Sect looked at each other, speechless, all thinking: "Our Sword Sect has been well established for a long time, could it truly and really decline to such an extent this generation? Elders Xiao and Hu have been pivotal in the sect, now... now losing to a nameless Flower Thief. Moreover, it’s heard that this Flower Thief is a novice from the Flower Cage Sect. Doesn’t it mean that our Sword Sect is... is truly overshadowed by a Flower Thief?"

Li Xian knows Wen Caishang is extremely jealous, urging to settle quickly earlier, one was to see Li Xian’s excellent spear technique, defeating Hu Yueyue wouldn’t be difficult. Secondly, not willing for Li Xian to tangle with women. He knows even though Wen Caishang is fierce, she is easy to coax. Regardless of others’ attention, he approached Wen Caishang, embracing her shoulders slightly. Wen Caishang was mildly displeased, shaking her shoulders lightly in resistance, yet immediately conformed, allowing him to hold her.

Li Xian asked, "Is my wife angry?"

Wen Caishang sulkingly said, "You traveled a long way to rescue me, how dare I be mad at you. You are, however, a little thief, infatuated with desire, favoring the new and neglecting the old. A moment ago, with an elder and a young one, you weren’t lenient, however dealing with a woman, you avoided her in every way."

Li Xian said, "I just saw her sword technique was exquisite, thinking to spend several more moments to learn one or two, gain some experience, meaning nothing else. As for being infatuated with desire... I cannot deny it. Without it, how dare I risk thousand tortures and dismemberment to appear here. As for favoring the new and neglecting the old, you, my wife, are always as newly radiant, I reckon I will never tire of you."

Wen Caishang’s heart softened, smiling brightly, knowing that Li Xian is full of lies, deceiving and coaxing others, yet her nature particularly falls for it, Li Xian’s words certainly make her happy, tapping his brow with slim fingers, both scolding and joyful, "You, slick talker, too carefree. Isn’t it that her Sword Dao skills are half as mighty as mine? Why need her to teach you? Clearly a lifetime of bad habits, reluctance to admit nor change, always aiming to please me here. Humph, do I seem easy to fool."

Li Xian said, "Certainly the lady is mighty. Alas, but the lady is reluctant to teach me." Wen Caishang gently persuaded, "Mr. Li La, in martial arts practice, patience is essential, the external gossip is all lies deceiving you. Only I truly care for you, remember your martial art foundation was taught by me. What I know, I will teach you. But it must be step by step, while you..."
