Seeing Ji Xiaofu being so arrogant, Yang Xiao couldn’t help but find it very amusing and wanted to tease her again. Immediately, he said, “From my guess, Miss Ji, the reason you haven’t married Sixth Brother Yin all these years is probably because Sixth Brother Yin is unromantic. That’s right, he’s a disciple of Wudang’s True Man Zhang, a righteous gentleman, so how could he speak flowery words? I, Yang Xiao, am different. I am the Great Devil of the Ming Cult, known as the Carefree Two Immortals, and I am extremely unrestrained and elegant. Since we are fated today, I shall let Miss experience what true joy in life is.”

Upon hearing this, Ji Xiaofu’s heart immediately panicked, and she asked, “What do you want to do?”

Yang Xiao chuckled, “Didn’t I just say? I’ll let you experience…”

“Zheng—”

Before he could finish his sentence, a sword light suddenly struck, as fast as lightning and as swift as thunder.

Fortunately, his martial arts were extremely high, and his reaction was extremely quick. In a flash, he pushed Ji Xiaofu away and dodged.

When he stood firm, he saw a handsome young man in white already unsealed Ji Xiaofu’s acupoints.

This young man was none other than Ye Qingfeng.

Last night, after Ye Qingfeng handed the Dragon Slaying Saber to Yu Daiyan, he immediately pursued Yin Susu, but Yin Susu was like a cunning fox, and her qinggong was also extremely good. In just a few moves, she shook him off. Losing track of Yin Susu, Ye Qingfeng was naturally unwilling and further expanded his search area. After a night of tossing and turning, he didn’t see Yin Susu, but he saw the scene before him.

In fact, he hadn’t expected that the other black-clothed woman was Ji Xiaofu, nor had he expected to meet Yang Xiao here.

Putting aside what happened last night, Ye Qingfeng could not ignore the current situation.

Because, if he didn’t interfere, things would develop according to the original plot, and then it would be “I will not regret Zhongzi crossing my wall.”

Yin Liting was his Sixth Brother. Although they weren’t blood brothers, they were closer than blood brothers. And Ji Xiaofu was his Sixth Brother’s fiancée. Although she hadn’t married into the family yet, it was already set in stone. Seeing his Sixth Brother about to be cuckolded, how could he stand by and do nothing?

After unsealing Ji Xiaofu’s acupoints, Ye Qingfeng didn’t say much and turned directly to Yang Xiao, saying, “You are Yang Xiao?”

Having witnessed the previous sword strike, Yang Xiao dared not show any slight, and replied, “That’s right, I am Yang Xiao. Who are you?”

Ye Qingfeng said, “Wudang’s Ye Qingfeng.”

Upon hearing this, Yang Xiao’s expression changed slightly in surprise, and he said, “So it’s a talented disciple of Wudang. No wonder you have such cultivation at such a young age. The Wudang Sect truly lives up to its reputation.” After a slight pause in his tone, he asked again, “I wonder if your master is Hero Song, or Hero Yu?”

In his opinion, among the Wudang Sect, only Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou could teach a disciple like Ye Qingfeng.

Ye Qingfeng shook his head and said, “Let me tell you, my master is True Man Zhang Sanfeng.”

“What! Your master is True Man Zhang?”

Hearing this again, Yang Xiao was immediately greatly surprised, apparently somewhat unexpected. In his surprise, he secretly thought, “That’s right, even Song Yuanqiao and Yu Lianzhou definitely couldn’t teach such a disciple. Only Zhang Sanfeng has such means.”

Ye Qingfeng ignored his surprise, pointed his sword, and asked, “Yang Xiao, were you trying to flirt with my Sixth Sister-in-law just now?”

How arrogant was Yang Xiao? Being pointed at by a sword by a young man, he immediately felt displeased, and said, “So what if I was?”

Ye Qingfeng said, “Of course, I’ll make you pay the price.”

He had just said the word “pay” when his figure moved, and by the time he said “price,” his sword tip had already reached Yang Xiao. Its speed was like a white rainbow crossing the sky, or a meteor breaking through the air, directly sealing off Yang Xiao’s upper three vital points.

Yang Xiao’s pupils contracted, and he immediately pushed off the ground with his feet, rapidly retreating. At the same time, he saw his arms move continuously, embracing yin and yang, operating Qiankun, drawing several circles in front of his chest, and only then did he use the Qiankun two qi to neutralize Ye Qingfeng’s sword momentum.

With his sword momentum neutralized, Ye Qingfeng said no more, withdrew his True Martial Sword with his right hand, and unleashed a soft palm strike with his left hand.

Yang Xiao dared not underestimate him, and immediately mustered his true qi, meeting the palm strike.

As he struck with his palm, there was a faint green aura swirling in his palm, which was his signature skill, the Green Bamboo Hand.

“Pop!”

With a muffled sound, their palms met, and their palm forces clashed. Both figures swayed, then flew backward.

Ye Qingfeng retreated more than three zhang, and Yang Xiao also retreated two zhang and seven or eight chi. On the surface, they seemed similar, but in reality, Yang Xiao had a slight advantage.

This was not surprising. Although Ye Qingfeng was extraordinarily gifted and had mastered the Wudang ultimate skill Pure Yang Wuji Gong, he was still too young, with only about ten years of internal energy at most. Yang Xiao was also a rare genius. In his youth, he defeated Emei Sect’s Gu Hongzi, and later received the teaching of Qiankun Da Nuoyi from Yang Dingtian. His internal energy was at least twenty years old. Even looking at the current martial arts world, he was one of the top masters, comparable to Song Yuanqiao, He Taichong, Kong Zhi, and others. It was perfectly normal for him to be slightly superior to Ye Qingfeng.

However, although Yang Xiao was slightly superior to Ye Qingfeng, his heart was greatly shocked, and he secretly thought, “This child is only fourteen or fifteen years old, but he has such profound internal energy. True Man Zhang Sanfeng of Wudang truly lives up to his reputation.” Then he thought, “What’s more, this child is not only proficient in internal energy, but his swordplay and palm techniques are also excellent. If I want to defeat him, I’m afraid it will take more than five hundred moves. I have important matters to attend to on this trip, and fighting this child for five hundred moves would be too much of a loss.” Thinking of this, he immediately cupped his fists to Ye Qingfeng and said, “Young Hero Ye’s internal energy is profound, and his swordplay is superb. I, Yang, am deeply impressed. Let us part ways today, and I will seek your guidance another day.”

As his voice fell, he moved his body, and with a few leaps and bounds, quickly disappeared into the dense forest.

Ye Qingfeng did not pursue. Firstly, he was not entirely confident of victory, and secondly, he still had some questions for Ji Xiaofu.

Seeing Yang Xiao leave, Ji Xiaofu immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Looking at Ye Qingfeng again, a hint of unease appeared on her face, making her extremely unnatural.

Ye Qingfeng said directly, “Senior Sister Ji, I didn’t expect that person last night to be you.”

Ji Xiaofu lowered her head and said, “Eighth Hero Ye, I was also acting on orders.”

“I know.”

Ye Qingfeng said, “After all, that’s the Dragon Slaying Saber. Looking at the entire martial arts world, who wouldn’t want it? However, Emei is one of the six major sects. Even if you want the Dragon Slaying Saber, you can just openly seize it. Senior Sister Ji’s actions last night were not very honorable.”

Ji Xiaofu said, “My master instructed me not to reveal my identity. I don’t know the deeper meaning behind it.”

Ye Qingfeng said, “But I do.” After a slight pause in his tone, he continued, “Your Emei Sect already has the Heaven Reliant Sword. The Heaven Reliant Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber have always been on par. If people in the martial arts world knew that your Emei Sect was also seeking the Dragon Slaying Saber, it would inevitably invite criticism. Senior Sister Ji, go back and tell your esteemed master that she is not the only one who knows the secret of the Heaven Reliant Sword and Dragon Slaying Saber, and tell her to restrain herself a bit in the future.”

Ji Xiaofu was greatly puzzled upon hearing this and frowned, “Eighth Hero Ye, have you misunderstood something?”

Ye Qingfeng said, “There’s no misunderstanding. You just need to convey my words, and your esteemed master will understand.”
