23: Jiang Hanxi's second trump card

A mid-grade Yellow-tier cultivation technique would cost at least one hundred low-grade spirit stones, but he bought it for only fifty low-grade spirit stones.

"Hahahaha!"

He couldn't hold back and burst out laughing until he flipped to the very last page, where eight large characters were written.

It was these simple eight characters that almost gave him a heart attack from anger.

"To cultivate this technique, one must first castrate themselves."

"What!?"

The boss was stunned. He frantically ran out, but Wang Feng was nowhere to be seen.

"My fifty low-grade spirit stones!"

The boss gritted his teeth at the shop entrance, not daring to shout too loudly, or he would surely attract the patrolling soldiers.

Helpless, he could only keep it for now; whether he would sell it or cultivate it later was unknown.

......

Wang Feng walked through the streets with his gear, mainly because many shops were closed, and he had nowhere to go.

Boom!

A huge explosion sound came, followed by smoke and dust rising and flames soaring into the sky not far away.

"Something's happening!"

Wang Feng jumped onto a rooftop, found a good spot, and sat down.

He refreshed the system store once, and the only new item was a soft-serve ice cream cone.

"This broken system doesn't even refresh melon seeds."

Wang Feng spent a few source points to buy a soft-serve ice cream cone and ate it on the rooftop with his legs crossed.

Not far away, at the City Lord's Mansion in the city center, a green light and a cold light shot up into the sky.

The ground was filled with soldiers holding crossbows.

Wang Feng licked his soft-serve ice cream cone and used a scouting skill. It really was Jiang Hanxi.

The other person was a middle-aged man, who was the City Lord of this city.

The two fought fiercely, sparks flying from their weapons.

Oh! That guy's weapon broke, haha.

Wang Feng licked his soft-serve ice cream cone, watching the middle-aged City Lord in the sky staring blankly at the long spear in his hand.

It had been severed by Jiang Hanxi's Cold Sword.

Damn it! Why would a mere fifth-layer Gathering Spirit Realm cultivator possess such a powerful weapon!

The City Lord cursed inwardly, but this also made his heart grow greedy.

This Cold Sword was clearly extraordinary, and the person herself was equally extraordinary, beautiful as a celestial fairy.

This woman, let alone for his son, even he, the father, was tempted.

He must capture her and seize that Cold Sword.

Jiang Hanxi flicked the blood off the Cold Sword. The veil on her face had long disappeared during the fierce battle.

She looked at the City Lord and spoke coldly, "If you want to die, I'll grant your wish!"

It seemed Jiang Hanxi was also enraged.

Wielding the Cold Sword, she exploded forward with a sonic boom and charged towards the City Lord, who was at the second layer of the Condensation Spirit Realm.

The City Lord could only retreat rapidly. This exquisite woman's fighting style was truly terrifying.

Although a large part of her combat relied on her magic treasure, she revealed no flaws whatsoever.

Her combat experience even made him feel ashamed of himself.

"I'll let you pass, you leave!"

After fighting for a while longer, the City Lord finally couldn't hold on.

His weapons were gone; what was the point of fighting? Now he was completely being chased by that exquisite woman with her Cold Sword.

It was truly frustrating. Even though he suppressed her by a major realm, he still couldn't defeat her.

However, looking at her, she seemed to be at the end of her rope. He only needed to wear her down a little longer, and he would surely be able to manipulate her at will.

"Get out of the way!"

Jiang Hanxi felt the dwindling spiritual power within her. There was no point in wasting any more.

She might as well let him clear the way. If she didn't leave, even if she killed the City Lord, there would still be others in the city who would come after her.

"Damn it! Don't run towards me!"

Wang Feng watched Jiang Hanxi flying across the rooftops, her target heading straight for him.

Wang Feng quickly got up and jumped off the rooftop, hoping Jiang Hanxi was just passing through.

But clearly, he had overthought it. Jiang Hanxi landed directly in front of him after a few quick steps.

Jiang Hanxi put away her Cold Sword, her tone much softer than usual, and spoke somewhat weakly, "Take me away..."

Fighting across major realms, she had used countless secret techniques.

Her current spiritual power could at most support her in getting out of the city.

Once her spiritual power was gone, she would be a lamb waiting to be slaughtered.

Now she had only two choices. The first was to use her last trump card.

Destroy this entire city to eliminate future troubles, but she estimated that after using it, she would be severely injured and it would be detrimental to her future tribulation crossing.

The second choice was a new one that just emerged because she saw Wang Feng.

Naturally, she then had a second option.

"Fairy Sister, how can I, I, I take you away?"

Wang Feng looked at the City Lord glaring from the sky, then at Jiang Hanxi in front of him.

"Don't mind him. If he dares to come over, I have my own way of dealing with him."

"Okay."

Wang Feng quickly picked up Jiang Hanxi and ran towards the city gate at the fastest speed he could muster with his current movement technique.

Jiang Hanxi's body trembled noticeably as Wang Feng held her.

Wang Feng chuckled inwardly, 'I'm holding you, what can you do to me now?'

Wang Feng was sure that Jiang Hanxi would absolutely not stab him now.

Because if she stabbed him, Jiang Hanxi herself wouldn't survive and would surely be caught by the middle-aged City Lord glaring from the sky.

"Use your back."

Jiang Hanxi struggled in Wang Feng's arms and said.

Wang Feng held her a little tighter, feeling the soft beauty in his arms.

Wang Feng's adrenaline surged, and he ran a little faster.

"I can't, I have a knife on my back, and carrying you on my back would affect my speed. Don't move!"

"It won't."

"I said it will!"

Wang Feng ignored Jiang Hanxi's struggles and held her in a princess carry, running all the way.

The City Lord behind them pursued closely from the sky but dared not come down.

"If you keep chasing, I'm going to unleash my ultimate move!"

Wang Feng shouted at the sky, but the City Lord obviously didn't believe him and continued to follow, wearing them down.

When Wang Feng and Jiang Hanxi were about to leave the city, the City Lord finally made his move.

He flipped his palm in the sky and pressed down, a phantom green palm print pressing towards Wang Feng and Jiang Hanxi.

"Fairy Sister! Quick, quick, didn't you say you could handle it?"

Wang Feng looked at Jiang Hanxi in his arms and urgently spoke. He also knew that Jiang Hanxi definitely had more tricks up her sleeve.

"After I use it, take me away, and don't do anything else to me!"

"Mhm mhm mhm!"

Jiang Hanxi instructed him from Wang Feng's arms. Wang Feng quickly nodded in agreement and put Jiang Hanxi down from his embrace.

"Nirvana Holy Seal!"

"Die!"

Jiang Hanxi quickly formed a hand seal and flew into the air. An imperial seal emerged from her glabella, entirely jade-blood colored.

It rapidly expanded and instantly pressed down towards the middle-aged City Lord flying in the sky.

The astonishment in Wang Feng's eyes could no longer be suppressed. This was a Saint Artifact, a protective Saint Artifact.

It was a magic treasure second only to an Emperor Artifact. He also knew why he couldn't blast Jiang Hanxi's head off.

An unsealed Saint Artifact, though Jiang Hanxi couldn't unleash its full power, it was enough.

The City Lord finally knew fear, but it was too late; he couldn't even run.

Before he was crushed by the Holy Seal, Wang Feng even mocked a few times, "I told you not to chase, not to chase. Now you've chased yourself to death! Hahahaha!"

The Nirvana Holy Seal crushed the phantom green giant palm in the void, and its might undiminished, it pressed down towards the middle-aged City Lord.

"No!"

With a tragic scream, the middle-aged City Lord was instantly crushed into a bloody mist by the Holy Seal, falling from the sky.

Yet the Saint Artifact did not touch a single drop of blood mist, slowly flying back into Jiang Hanxi's glabella.

"She's truly a celestial maiden descended to the mortal world!"

Wang Feng watched Jiang Hanxi, in her white dress, falling rapidly from the sky. He quickly ran over, jumped, and caught her in his arms.

They left gracefully under the terrified gazes of the people in the city...
