71: I'm afraid I won't be able to kill them all before my Qi runs out...

The figure in the clouds vanished, and a moment later, Ximen Chuixue arrived beside Lu Jiuyuan.

"You're injured?"

"A mere minor injury, not worth mentioning!" Lu Jiuyuan said indifferently, "I encountered a master!"

"How high?"

"As high as two stories, his swordplay effortlessly transitioned between making light objects heavy and heavy objects light, integrating grand perfection with unpredictable change."

Upon hearing this, Ximen Chuixue's brows furrowed instantly: "Why did he seek you out and not me?"

Masters of this caliber were already few, and those who used swords were even rarer.

How did he get to encounter such a worthy opponent?

"I saw him!" Lu Jiuyuan said.

"I saw him too!" Ximen Chuixue echoed.

"As expected of Sword God Ximen Chuixue and Sword Saint Lu Jiuyuan. I hid so deeply, yet you both managed to discover me. Old Huang did not die in vain!"

Seven zhang ahead, a man emerged from a hollowed-out tree trunk, as thick as a man's embrace, his Face full of surprise.

He only mentioned Old Huang, but not Zhong Wugu, as if he hadn't seen the latter at all.

Lu Jiuyuan and Ximen Chuixue exchanged glances, both seeing a hint of surprise in the other's eyes.

"Old Huang?"

"The one who tried to ambush you and was casually killed by your sword!"

The man who emerged was only three feet tall, with a lean build; if not for his beard and wrinkles, he would have looked more like a child.

"As for myself, those who give Face call me Tu Di Gong, and those who don't call me Three-Inch Ding! It's just that for decades, those who didn't give Face have all been killed by me!"

"I'll go!" Ximen Chuixue stepped forward, blocking Lu Jiuyuan, drawing his sword from its sheath. He thought, 'You can't be the only one killing; I need to kill one too.'

"No need to trouble the two of you to act!" The small old man cupped his hands: "How can this humble old man be worthy? Since I've been discovered by the two of you, how can there be any hope of survival? I already took poison when I came out."

"The two of you have already greatly offended the organization. Whether they send you down or you send them down, it will be a good thing.

This humble old man will go first! I'll wait on the Yellow Springs Road; we'll meet again in the underworld!" With that, black blood flowed from his mouth, and he fell to the ground, lifeless.

Ximen Chuixue's hand, gripping his sword, tightened slightly. 'Not even a single chance?'

"What I said earlier was 'in the clouds'!" Ximen Chuixue silently sheathed his sword.

"What I said was 'in the clouds' too!" Lu Jiuyuan nodded: "A person cannot stand in mid-air; there must be a mechanism up there! Lu Xiaofeng, this bait, has already lured the fish out."

"The enemy is hidden, and we are exposed; it's not a good time!"

"Indeed, not a good time!"

"Only when everyone is gathered, when there's a major operation, can we catch them all in one net!"

"That makes sense!" Lu Jiuyuan's Guhong Sword instantly flew from his hand, piercing through Tu Di Gong and pinning him to the ground.

Tu Di Gong's closed small eyes instantly widened, filled with horror, and his limbs continued to twitch.

"Turtle Breathing Technique, you are the second one I've encountered! The previous one also feigned death in front of me! He was also pinned to death by me."

Lu Jiuyuan walked over, pulled out his sword, and reached into his embrace with his left hand, finding it empty. He hadn't restocked recently, and all the handkerchiefs he carried were used up.

So he raised his hand, tilted the sword, and slowly blew the blood drops from the sword's edge.

This action made Ximen Chuixue's fists clench.

This was a provocation, wasn't it!

Not only was he provoking, but he was also mocking me!

"Lu Xiaofeng has entered; let's go over and block the door! Anyway, there's nothing good inside; we'll kill one for every one that comes out," Lu Jiuyuan said.

"Why not kill our way in? Since we've found the place, with the strength of the three of us..."

Ximen Chuixue said indifferently, "I believe there's no place in the world that cannot be entered."

"I'm afraid I won't be able to kill them all before my True Qi runs out."

Lu Jiuyuan shook his head: "Moreover, if the important figures inside want to escape, we won't be able to stop them.

Once our objective is exposed, it will be impossible to act against them openly again!"

"Blocking this door is enough."

"Good!"

... Youling Villa,

The Faces of the Elder Council members were very solemn.

Cousin, Ye Ling, Guan Jia Po, Gou Zi, Gou Hun, and Hua Guafu gathered together.

"The Sword God and the Sword Devil are blocking the exit of the cliff. Zhong Wugu has already died at the hands of the Sword Devil.

Lu Xiaofeng is a menace! A great menace! All this trouble is caused by him.

I suggest we either kill him, or drive him out and let Lu Jiuyuan and Ximen Chuixue kill him!" Cousin was the first to speak.

"Tu Di, Huang Shi, who was hidden in the forest, was also killed! The name 'Sword Devil' is well-deserved!" Gou Hun said indifferently:

"My brother, Ye Guhong, died. He died in Taiyuan, buried in the Yi Zhuang, his sword stuck on Dugu Mei's coffin. He was killed by the Sword Devil. I want him dead!" Ye Ling said.

"He is very strong, extremely strong, unimaginably strong! If we want to kill those two, at least half of the people in the villa will have to die," Gou Hun continued:

"Not even Old Handle of the Saber?" Gou Zi asked. They all greatly admired Old Handle of the Saber's martial arts.

"I don't know!" Gou Hun shook his head. He was several hundred paces away, and with the tree cover, he couldn't see the duel clearly.

He only knew that the Sword Devil was strong, stronger than Zhong Wugu, and also stronger than him.

"Half?" Guan Jia Po murmured, "Everyone who can come here is famous; do we really need so many people to kill them?"

Everyone fell silent. All those present were masters, yet they were blocked at their own entrance by two people. It was both shameful and terrifying.

"These are true men, truly enviable." Cousin gently licked his lips, his eyes full of admiration:

"Unfortunately, such men are too sharp; there's no way to 'sleep' with them. If I could 'sleep' with such a hero, even dying would be worth it!"

"It's not necessarily impossible to 'sleep' with them!" Gou Zi suddenly said.

Cousin's eyes instantly lit up: "How do we 'sleep' with them?"

Gou Zi didn't look at him, but rather at Hua Guafu: "Heroes struggle to overcome the allure of beautiful women. If men can't deal with him, women might still have a way!

Men are always more lenient towards beautiful women!"

"Who are you talking about?" Hua Guafu frowned and asked. Although she didn't mind 'sleeping' with the two of them, being spoken to like this in front of so many people still displeased her.

"I'm not talking about you. I want to 'sleep' with you, it's not bad, but that's when there are no other options. But the Sword Devil and the Sword God wouldn't fancy someone like you!" Gou Zi said bluntly:

"I'm talking about the little fox and the mother leopard! You are still virgins, untouched by anyone. If you want revenge, you can use your beauty to kill."

Hua Guafu's Face was very ugly.

Gou Zi glanced at Hua Guafu out of the corner of his eye and continued: "For some people, even though that layer is easily broken, if it's there, it's worth a thousand gold; if it's not, it's trash."

Bang!

Hua Guafu slammed the table: "You bastard, I think you have something else to say!"

Bang!

The door was kicked open, and a figure in a big red dress walked in: "I'll go! I'll avenge my brother! I'll kill the Sword Devil!"

"Ye Xue! I'll go, don't try to snatch it from me; I'll avenge my brother!" Ye Ling shouted, clearly indignant.
