Chapter 827: Chapter 244: Shadows of Heroes, Devious Schemes to Break the Crisis, Raging Undercurrents and Masterminds Mocked (Part 5)

Blood Rakshasa fixed her gaze and saw that it was indeed Shi Feiyang, feeling both surprised and delighted at heart.

Xie Zhichuan saw that Shi Feiyang’s hands were empty, and there was no knife or sword hanging at his waist. Although he was extremely terrified, he still harbored a glimmer of hope, deluding himself into thinking he could escape by wielding his sword.

He gritted his teeth, a trace of menace flashing in his eyes, and his hand made a flourish with his treasure sword, stabbing fiercely toward Shi Feiyang. The momentum of the sword carried a whistling wind, seemingly aiming to pin Shi Feiyang to the spot.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang’s eyes flashed with anger, and he shouted furiously, "Xie Zhichuan, you vile thief, you dare to make a move against me? Truly courting death!"

Before the words even fell, his palms flew, like two agile wings, chopping straight through the flickering sword light.

In an instant, palm shadows were flying, sword shadows flickered, and the two had already exchanged two or three moves.

Shi Feiyang was secretly startled, feeling that Xie Zhichuan’s Thirteen Life-taking Swords had indeed improved significantly compared to the past, with each thrust carrying a fierce momentum. Moreover, Xie Zhichuan’s body was exuding a surging heat, as if enveloped by a layer of high-temperature air, no wonder Blood Rakshasa had a hard time taking advantage of him. Given time, he would indeed be a formidable opponent for me.

Blood Rakshasa rushed over and was utterly amazed to see Shi Feiyang fighting Xie Zhichuan’s treasure sword with his bare fists. Inwardly, she thought, "How can Shi Feiyang be so bold as to fight Xie Zhichuan’s treasure sword barehanded?"

Just as she was about to assist, she suddenly felt dizzy, her body swayed, nearly falling.

It turned out that this night Blood Rakshasa’s martial arts performance was mediocre because she had inhaled Lan Xiaodie’s colorless and tasteless toxic mist.

This toxic mist was silent, and Blood Rakshasa unconsciously inhaled it, instinctively using her power to resist, greatly diminishing her strength, making her appear as a non-high martial person. At this moment, though her whip and sword techniques remained exquisite, lacking the support of powerful strength, even the most exquisite moves couldn’t unleash their full power, gradually falling into a disadvantage under Xie Zhichuan’s fierce assault.

Compared to Shi Feiyang’s profound mastery of the Bright Jade Technique, the Kunlun Flame Technique practiced by Xie Zhichuan was like an insignificant trick.

At this moment, Shi Feiyang’s Bright Jade Technique within his body was like a vast ocean, and its deep and majestic inner strength was enough to melt and freeze Xie Zhichuan’s Kunlun Flame Technique a thousand times.

For Xie Zhichuan’s Thirteen Life-taking Swords, Shi Feiyang was even more proficient, so much so that even with his eyes closed, he could perceive every change in Xie Zhichuan’s sword moves.

However, Xie Zhichuan, relying on the sharp treasure sword in his hand, continued to forcibly parry and exchange several moves with Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang’s eyes were as sharp as a torch, closely watching Xie Zhichuan’s every move. Suddenly, he flipped his wrist, moving as fast as lightning, reminiscent of a spiritual snake exiting the hole, and snatched the Longquan treasure sword from Xie Zhichuan’s hand.

Immediately after, with a swift motion, his two fingers pointed upward like a flash of cold light, precisely touching Xie Zhichuan’s "Yuqi Acupoint".

This "Yuqi Acupoint" was one of the vital acupoints of the human body. Once touched, Xie Zhichuan felt his whole body weak, unable to move.

Shi Feiyang turned around, smiling, and said to Blood Rakshasa, "Senior, I’ll leave this person for you to deal with!"

Blood Rakshasa’s eyes sparkled with admiration, she gave a thumbs-up and said loudly, "Good!"

Immediately, her expression turned stern, and she turned to look at Xie Zhichuan, a cold glint flashing in her eyes, she shouted harshly, "So it turns out you indeed secretly defected to Ha-ha Map. That Ha-ha Map appears to be allied with the Kerchin on the surface, but secretly dispatched you scoundrels to create chaos. Xie, you scoundrel, what else do you have to say now?"

Blood Rakshasa’s voice was sharp, like the cry of a night owl, spreading far in the silent night.

Xie Zhichuan, however, remained silent, staring directly at Blood Rakshasa, his eyes full of stubbornness and unwillingness, like a silent iceberg, ignoring Blood Rakshasa’s questioning. His stubbornness was merely because he had Lan Xiaodie backing him up.

Now, he was simply waiting for Lan Xiaodie to come and save him.

He knew that Lan Xiaodie would definitely come to save him, for he still had value to her.

After all, with the name of the Young Manor Master of Divine Sword Manor, he could help invite many high martial artists for Lan Xiaodie to use.

Moreover, the money and grain stockpiled by Divine Sword Manor over hundreds of years were a deadly temptation for Lan Xiaodie.

To rise again, the Five Poison Sect needed Xie Zhichuan’s support.

Seeing this, Shi Feiyang took the opportunity to slip away.

He used the marvelous Lightweight Technique of "After finishing, wipe the clothes and leave," his form ghostly, disappearing in the blink of an eye.

This Lightweight Technique was exquisite beyond compare, unless one was a particularly high martial artist, they couldn’t even catch a trace of Shi Feiyang, not even a remnant shadow. Shi Feiyang, with his rich experience in Jianghu, headed towards the depths of the fortress.

He calculated in his heart, first to find the place where the Kerchin Tribe hid their money and grain.

Before long, he came to a heavily guarded area, surrounded by vigilant guards.

Shi Feiyang felt a chill in his heart and immediately activated the Bright Jade Technique, with inner strength quickly circulating within his body.

Then, Shi Feiyang performed the "Holy Heart Technique," using the exceptional skill of "Celestial Palace Illusion." This cultivation technique was unbelievably magical, using formidable spiritual power to influence the human heart, creating an illusion of an Immortal Realm like false world in the minds of others, trapping them within.

This cultivation technique could integrate and elevate human fantasies, stemming from the heart yet surpassing the heart, making people believe it was the Immortal Realm of their dreams, yet so beautiful that even dreams couldn’t imagine it.

In an instant, those guards felt the scenery before their eyes change, as if they had arrived at the Xiao Xiang Pavilion in one of the eight great alleys of the Capital, where countless beauties in gossamer dresses fluttered and danced before them. Their eyes were misty, drool inadvertently sliding from their mouths, immersed in this dreamlike scene, unable to extricate themselves.
