Chaotic World Book-Chapter 466 - 453 Holy Daughter’s Protector Misses the Old Man
Chapter 466: Chapter 453 Holy Daughter’s Protector Misses the Old Man
The noise from outside had clearly disturbed the inside of the tent.
Yue Hongling, lost in her passion, came to her senses and immediately grabbed the hilt of the sword by the tub, "Lei Ao is here, I need to..."
"You better take it easy," Zhao Changhe held her shoulder and casually grabbed a set of Alien Clan garments from the side and placed them on the rim of the tub. "Anyone can show up except you. If they find an excuse, Sisi will be in trouble."
"What if Lei Ao uses the excuse to bully Sisi? How about I disguise myself and go out?"
"Who could be fooled by your swordsmanship?" Zhao Changhe leisurely picked up some medicine to apply to his face and soon, a man of the Ancient Spirit Clan appeared in front of Yue Hongling, flashing a toothy smile, "Of course neither Zhao Changhe nor Wang Daozhong should show up. How do you like the look of this Ancient Spirit Clan man?"
Yue Hongling watched as Zhao Changhe became increasingly adept at these odd and curious methods, suddenly feeling that the naive concerns in her heart had become so distant.
Yes... he had now become one of the renowned figures in the Human List, ranked thirty-seventh, renowned throughout the world. Wherever he was, he could become a significant variable...
If the opposition never knew Zhao Changhe was here, they might suffer a great loss.
At the entrance of the bandit lair, men and women of the Ancient Spirit Clan were ambushed on both sides, drawing bows and setting arrows, while the ground was fraught with poisonous insects and toxic vapor, with hook vines crisscrossed.
Lei Ao glided past, the hook vines touching his body shaken off as if struck by thunder and flung far away. The poisonous insects and toxic vapor seemed to have no effect on him. Holding a Miao Blade in his hand, he slashed toward a Spirit Clan girl by the roadside who was summoning insects.
The various tribes of the Miao Region clashed; these wizards using various curses and magic to fend off insects played a key role. By capturing them, the rest of the conventional forces weren’t prominent, especially with the small numbers of the Spirit Clan. In fact, they were quite easy to "bully."
However, as his Miao Blade approached the Spirit Clan girl, a fragrant breeze arrived. Sisi flitted past like a phantom, silently exposing a section of a dagger blade in her hand, warding off Lei Ao’s knife edge.
The two of them passed by, and Sisi flipped her wrist, the dagger flowing smoothly towards Lei Ao’s back, as if being in mid-air with nowhere to leverage was no hindrance to her at all.
Lei Ao did not have such flexible qinggong, somewhat embarrassingly staggering back several steps, retreating into his own lines with an unpleasant expression, "I’ve always felt that your weird cultivation techniques are definitely not from the Spirit Clan! Most likely, you’re a Xia spy!"
"What do you care where my cultivation technique comes from?" Sisi sneered coldly, "Lei Ao, do you feel you have too many teeth?"
Lei Ao shouted fiercely, "Harboring a criminal, have you Spirit Clans thought this through?
"Yo, quit playing word games with your granny, blindly accusing others of being spies and harboring criminals?" Sisi sneered, "Who was it that privately called the tribes to kill the Provincial Governor and rebel against Xia? I even thought Yue Hongling was invited by you, Lei Ao; how dare you play the thief shouting ’catch the thief’! Besides, what authority do you have to investigate the Provincial Governor’s case? Are you from the Demon Suppression Department?"
Lei Ao responded, "What I’m investigating isn’t the Provincial Governor... Beside the Provincial Governor, there were brothers from my clan, enduring humiliation to gather intelligence on the Xia people by staying undercover, yet Yue Hongling killed them all in one fell swoop. Now I’m seeking revenge for my brothers, anyone who stops me is a major enemy of my Black Miao Clan!"
With those words, countless figures emerged behind him, stretching as far as the eye could see, certainly thousands.
But poor Sisi’s "entire clan" numbered only a few hundred here, a pitifully small tribe.
Normally, Lei Ao wouldn’t dare to openly provoke such tribal disputes, fearing that pulling one hair could move the whole body, making other tribes feel endangered and affecting the alliance’s grand plans. But with this chaotic opportunity now and using such trumped-up reasons to make trouble, it was possible to fish in troubled waters, coveting nothing more than Sisi’s beauty.
That is to say, even if Sisi and Yue Hongling had no connection at all, she would still have to face this scene.
In reality, Lei Ao had a lot of things to do now and shouldn’t be spending his energy in such places; it could only be said that this was truly a disaster caused by a beautiful woman.
Sisi quickly realized this in her mind and said with a smile, "Young Clan Leader Lei is playing a good game here, but I suggest you think it through. If you get held up here for too long, it’s hard to guarantee that other tribes won’t come to fish in troubled waters."
"It won’t take that long," Lei Ao raised his hand and waved, "Attack!"
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!" Several fireworks shot into the sky, spreading a strange fragrance.
The poisonous insects and snakes that infested the forest acted as if startled and ceased to be controlled, the toxic vapor spreading to either side and the forest clearing.
Lei Ao and countless people from the Black Miao Clan wielding Miao Blades charged forward, Lei Ao leading the charge, his blade driving towards Sisi’s shoulder.
It seemed he had managed to break Sisi’s routine using special means. Sisi, however, remained smiling, preparing to start a new routine, when a rushing wind arose behind her.
Sisi’s expression subtly changed; she quickly stuffed the small object she had just pulled out back into her pocket and retreated a half step with a smile as if avoiding Lei Ao’s blade.
A longsword brushed past her, accurately targeting the side of Lei Ao’s blade.
Lei Ao’s hand went numb, the Miao Blade almost dropping, and he retreated in shock, "Who!"
A tall man dressed in Ancient Spirit Clan garments shielded Sisi, silently raising his longsword and thrusting directly at Lei Ao’s chest!
Sisi blinked her eyes.
Unlike when impersonating Wang Daozhong with the imitated Sea Suppressing Sword Technique, at this moment, Zhao Changhe’s swordsmanship was very much like Sisi’s, very Spirit Clan.
Because both Sisi and the Spirit Clan had learned their swordsmanship from what he had compiled from the Sword Emperor Inheritance; he was the Spirit Clan’s swordsmanship teacher... impersonating a Spirit Clan Swordsman was a seamless transition.
Lei Ao had not noticed any problem and was unable to recognize that this was the same Wang Daozhong he had met yesterday. The swordsmanship was elusive and unpredictable—he couldn’t even grasp the path of this one sword and had no choice but to retreat backward quickly.
As a result, Zhao Changhe’s movement was inherited from Sisi, like the wind chasing the clouds, seemingly exhausted but seamlessly continuing to thrust forward and once again relentlessly aiming straight for Lei Ao’s chest.
The same qinggong taught by Thief Saint Ye Wuzong, one stolen from a secret book, and one a magic skill stealthily learned from the Heavenly Book...
Anyway, they all looked like one big family, and even Sisi was extremely surprised, soon bursting into laughter.
Lei Ao staggered back again, and behind him, his clansmen were charging forward. Thrust back by their own Young Master falling back, the formation became utterly chaotic.
"What are you all standing around for!" Lei Ao fell back into his own ranks, shouting in desperation, "Protect me!"
"Clash!" Numerous Miao Blades simultaneously blocked in front of Lei Ao, Zhao Changhe’s sword style changed, carrying a sticky quality, spun all the Miao Blades together, causing them to escape their hands, piercing the trees surrounding them, trembling nonstop.
The sword light surged, then re-entered the formation, pointing at Lei Ao’s throat, standing unmoving.
The atmosphere that was about to explode into a big battle froze, both sides staring at this suddenly appeared swordsman in shock.
Zhao Changhe’s sword pressing against Lei Ao, he lightly stated, "So this is the so-called Mystical Gate Ninth Layer, Young Clan Leader Lei? Daring to covet my Holy Daughter with such skill... Tsk."
Sisi’s smiling expression turned into a grin, her teeth completely bared.
Although the sword had not reached his throat, Lei Ao could have continued to back away, but at this moment, he seemed to have lost his confidence, feeling that no matter how much he retreated, this person would stick to him like a shadow, as if no number of people could stop him. He simply stopped moving, his gaze coldly fixed on Zhao Changhe, "Who are you!"
Sisi peeked out from behind Zhao Changhe, "He is my protector."
Zhao Changhe stated, "Spirit Clan protector, Elder Sisi."
Sisi: "?"
Zhao Changhe calmly stated, "Young Clan Leader Lei is free to continue ordering an attack, but within five steps, your blood will splatter here. To fight or to retreat, that all depends on a single word from Young Clan Leader Lei."
Lei Ao fixated on him for a long while, then suddenly waved his hand, "Retreat!"
The aggressively advancing Black Miao people lost all momentum, retreating somewhat embarrassingly.
Lei Ao could tell himself that it was because he didn’t want to get entangled too long, fearing changes behind him. But he clearly knew in his heart, he was truly frightened by this eerie swordsman, feeling that if a real fight broke out, he couldn’t even protect his head even among thousands.
It was truly bizarre, since when did the Spirit Clan have such a strong swordsman, Elder Sisi... I’ve never even heard of him, shouldn’t this strength qualify for the Chaotic World List?
The woods regained their tranquility, the night wind gently blowing, the poisonous insects had dispersed, but the surrounding eyes were still full of green and filled with astonishment.
The Ancient Spirit Clan in the Secret Realm had indeed proliferated over such a long time—it was true not everyone knew each other.
The young men and women that Sisi brought out now really felt that this protector was indeed using our cultivation technique, and using it very well... Could this be a high-ranking Elder newly dispatched from our Secret Realm? So young.
Elder Sisi, but our clan doesn’t have this surname?
Sisi turned to look at Zhao Changhe, silently transmitting, "Do you think you can use such tricks to blend into my clan? Are you really pretending I don’t exist?"
Zhao Changhe was slightly startled and then chuckled, "I honestly hadn’t thought about it... Hey, perhaps we could discuss this?"
Sisi snapped, "What’s there to discuss, who are you to me, don’t even think about it!"
"But I just helped you break a siege..."
"That’s what you should do with that name you used, you even refuse to kill Lei Ao!" Sisi angrily returned to the village, "Go back and flirt with your female warrior, her calls sound so sweet. We from the Alien Clan are just meant to guard the gates, right?"
"Hey hey hey, we can’t just kill anyone, you know, if I really killed him, your village wouldn’t withstand it."
"I can withstand it!" Sisi coldly said, "Using our clan’s identity to kill him wouldn’t cause sky-shattering issues, but if it were you, Zhao Changhe, or someone with a Xia identity like Wang Daozhong, that’s the real trouble... The excuse for the Black Miao Clan and other clans to revolt just disappeared with the Provincial Governor’s death, and would immediately reignite if a son died by Xia hands, that’s the real trouble."
Zhao Changhe was stunned, then suddenly shuddered, "This is bad!"
He quickly turned and dashed down the mountain, "Lei Ao might be about to die!" ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Before he finished speaking, a Spirit Clan youth hurriedly ran up the mountain, "Holy Daughter, it’s bad, Lei Ao was assassinated on his way back to Xizhou, the Black Miao Clan is in an uproar!"
