Chapter 536: Chapter 212 Demoness Mu Qinglian!

Screech!

Above the sea of clouds, two figures darted forward at an astonishing speed, leaving behind a trail of fractured shadows.

Luo Cheng carried Jin Yuxi while pushing the Mist Shadow Step to its utmost limit, racing at full speed.

The gray-haired elder had methods beyond comprehension, and it was unlikely that Jin Luoming could hold him off. Keeping as far away from this place as possible was the wisest course of action.

“Luo Cheng, are you alright?”

Seeing Luo Cheng’s pale complexion, Jin Yuxi assumed his injuries were severe and immediately voiced her concern.

Luo Cheng shook his head. “It’s just a minor wound; there’s no need to worry, Ninth Princess.”

The earlier impact had only inflicted a slight internal injury on Luo Cheng.

Fortunately, they were nearly a thousand meters away from the explosion’s epicenter.

Otherwise, it wouldn’t have been just a minor internal injury!

“I’m sorry…”

Jin Yuxi’s eyes dimmed, and she bit her red lips tightly.

Jin Min was her eighth brother, and the entire matter was intricately tied to the Imperial Family of the Great Yue Dynasty.

“This is an enmity between Jin Min and myself; it has nothing to do with you…”

Luo Cheng shook his head, his gaze hardening. He continued resolutely, “However, when the time comes that I must kill Jin Min, I hope you won’t stop me.”

“…”

Jin Yuxi opened her mouth slightly but, in the end, said nothing.

In the past, she would have surely hoped Luo Cheng could show mercy.

But now Jin Min had been so ruthless as to disregard her very life to kill Luo Cheng!

This truth shook Jin Yuxi profoundly, making her understand for the first time why people always said that the Imperial Family was the most heartless.

In the face of a struggle for power, even familial bonds meant nothing…

After that, the two said no more.

After covering several hundred miles, Luo Cheng was about to find a secluded place to rest when he suddenly felt something in his heart, his gaze flashing coldly.

Just then, a burst of soft, tinkling laughter rang out in the distance, like pearls dropping onto a jade plate, clear and captivating, exceedingly tender.

“Young Master Luo Cheng, you’ve really made it hard for this elder sister to catch up to you…”

Beneath the faint moonlight, a woman in a green dress strolled gracefully toward them.

The woman’s tall figure was accented by her fluttering green gown, under which hints of spring scenery tantalizingly appeared and vanished, her allure nearly intoxicating. A blue radiance shimmered under her feet as her movements seemed unhurried but were incredibly swift, the distance between her and the two steadily closing.

“Mu Qinglian! The Demoness of the Jile Sect!”

Recognizing the woman, Jin Yuxi’s expression changed slightly.

The other was a peak Ninth Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert and a renowned disciple of the Jile Sect, with combat prowess far from ordinary!

Luo Cheng’s heart also sank; he hadn’t expected Mu Qinglian to pursue them, and he spoke coldly:

“You truly are like a haunting specter!”

Mu Qinglian’s green dress swayed with the night breeze, her every movement graceful and mesmerizing. Her eyes, shimmering like spring water, were filled with charm. With a soft smile, she teased:

“Young Master Luo Cheng, saying such things wounds this elder sister’s heart. For you, dear brother, this elder sister owes Jin Min a tremendous favor.”

Luo Cheng quietly assessed his options for escape.

However, Mu Qinglian was a peak expert of the Ninth Layer Awakening Vein Realm. Even if he threw everything he had at her, the gap between their strengths was at least one or two levels.

Moreover, he was currently injured…

Engaging her directly was clearly unwise. Luo Cheng exhaled a breath of Qi and said:

“We have no grudge between us. Why go through so much trouble to chase me down? What is it you truly want?”

Jin Yuxi also added, “If it’s wealth you desire, I can give it to you!”

“Hehe, elder sister isn’t after such mundane things…”

Mu Qinglian chuckled, her eyes shimmering with endless allure. Licking her soft, crimson lips, she murmured:

“I came only for you this time. Stop running and come with your elder sister. Don’t worry, I won’t harm you. In fact, I promise to give you an experience so unforgettable that you’ll savor the bliss of this world like never before.”

Her soft laughter was like melted honey, carrying a seductive drawl that permeated the air, shaking one’s heart and stirring the most primal desires within.

Hearing this, even the Ninth Princess Jin Yuxi appeared slightly dazed. Her cheeks flushed crimson as she chastised angrily, “Demoness!”

Luo Cheng’s eyes remained as calm as an ancient well. Grasping Jin Yuxi’s hand tightly, he fully unleashed the Mist Shadow Step. His voice trailed off with the wind, “I don’t have time today. Perhaps another day, I’ll personally pay you a visit. How about that?”

Mu Qinglian’s watery gaze betrayed her surprise at Luo Cheng’s response.

In the past, every so-called young talent she encountered would kneel before her allure, unable to resist, willingly reduced to mere pawns at her feet. This was the first time she’d been shrugged off in such a manner.

If Luo Cheng were a celebrated genius, she might understand. But he was a mere Wasted Martial Soul, someone universally regarded as a useless failure.

This only heightened Mu Qinglian’s curiosity. Her smile deepened, becoming all the more enchanting.

“Hehehe, why wait for another day when today is perfect, Young Master Luo Cheng? Today, elder sister simply must pamper you thoroughly…”

Her silken laughter seemed to carry an almost divine melody, weaving into the wind itself. Luo Cheng suddenly felt a wisp of fragrant wind brush against his cheek, as if soft hands were gently teasing his body.

Startled, he realized this was the famous Bewitching Technique of the Jile Sect. Instantly, he steadied his mind, channeling his Sword Intent. Using his will as the blade, he severed the strange sensations entirely!

Unfortunately, Jin Yuxi, still inexperienced and lacking the cultivation level for such composure, found her gaze growing hazy and unfocused. Her hand slipped from Luo Cheng’s grasp.

“No!”

Cold sweat broke out on Luo Cheng’s forehead, and he quickly wrapped an arm around Jin Yuxi’s slender waist, his voice deep and steady:

“Stay alert. Use your Essence Energy to block out the sound.”

Suddenly, a sweet, sultry voice rang out next to them, dripping with satisfaction.

“Young Master Luo Cheng, this little girl won’t do for you. Let elder sister take care of you instead!”

The momentary distraction allowed Mu Qinglian to close the distance to within a hundred meters of them. Her skirts fluttered as though dancing with the wind, her every movement brimming with seductive allure, her gaze spellbinding.

She giggled, releasing a surge of Essence Energy. Her jade-like arm stretched forward, her slender, snow-white fingers pointing delicately at Luo Cheng.

Buzz!

The air swirled chaotically as a blue lotus bloomed at her fingertip.

The azure lotus expanded with the breeze, blooming midair.

Each petal stretched to dozens of meters in size, forming a prison of heaven and earth. The lotus radiated a fierce Essence Energy ripple, creating a stagnant space that descended upon Luo Cheng and Jin Yuxi!

“I absolutely can’t let this move trap me! Otherwise, escape will be nearly impossible!”

Thoughts racing, Luo Cheng’s eyes sharpened like twin blades of unparalleled brilliance, piercing through the darkness of the night.

“Xuanlong Technique! Seventy Percent Slaughter Sword Intent!”

With the ethereal sound of dragon roars, nine-colored mystical light erupted from Luo Cheng’s form. His robes snapped in the wind as a fierce and untamed sword shadow shot skyward, stirring the entire atmosphere!

In this instant, Luo Cheng unleashed every hidden card he had, pushing his power to the absolute maximum!

“Divine Wind Absolute Kill!”

With a deep cry, Luo Cheng thrust his sword seemingly slowly yet incredibly quickly.

Boom!

The roiling air suddenly fell eerily silent.

In the next moment, an incredibly condensed Sword Qi Tornado burst forth, tearing through the stagnant air. It painted the night sky with a streak of inky black emptiness, a vacuum fissure that lingered long after.

Screech!

The massive azure lotus was instantly pierced by the Sword Qi, its leftover momentum hurtling straight toward Mu Qinglian!

Swish!

A fair, delicate finger was sliced, droplets of fresh blood scattering as Mu Qinglian retreated several steps.

Staring at the vivid streak of blood on her fingertip, her bright eyes were filled with shock, as though she couldn’t believe she had been injured!

“Go!”

Destroying the encasing lotus, Luo Cheng wasted no time. He secured Jin Yuxi and directly activated the Mysterious Wind Explosion Technique, his figure disappearing like an exploding meteor in an instant.

Mu Qinglian snapped back to her senses. She licked the blood on her fingertip, the crimson adding even more allure to her luscious lips. Watching Luo Cheng’s retreating figure, her eyes glittered like stars:

“This… is Seventy Percent Sword Intent!”

“Within that Sword Intent lies a hint of Slaughter Realm. Even Great Power Level swordsmen struggle to achieve such an attribute Sword Intent Realm! Yet it’s appeared in a mere Sixth Layer Awakening Vein swordsman…”

“Hehehe, little boy, you’re making me more and more curious…”

Mu Qinglian’s sweet, melodious laughter rippled. Her skirts billowed like willows swaying in a soft breeze as she continued her relentless pursuit of Luo Cheng.
