"I surely know who you are," the leading black - clothed man said while fighting. "The Divine Sword Sect is a declining sect filled with useless people."
"Really?" Feng Yuqin sneered. "Then today I'll show you how someone like you will die at the hands of someone you call a useless person."
The leading black - clothed man scoffed. "Big talk..."
Before his words faded, that seemingly ordinary sword suddenly changed. Before he could even react, it stabbed straight into his heart.
"Ancient... divine artifact," the black - clothed man managed to utter these four words with great difficulty. A mouthful of blood spurted out, and his eyes were filled with disbelief.
How could Feng Yuqin, who he thought was a useless person, take his life?
No, it was the ancient divine artifact...
Feng Yuqin had an ancient divine artifact in her hand...
The black - clothed man wanted to spread this news. But just as this thought crossed his mind, Feng Yuqin pulled out the Zhu Xie Sword.
The next moment, his head separated from his body, leaving him in pieces.
"This is the price you pay for trying to kill me," Feng Yuqin coldly said and then turned to deal with the others.
There were three people left. Coincidentally, Xiaoying dealt with one, Hun Bing and Xiaojin dealt with another, and the last one fell into Feng Yuqin's hands.
Just as they attacked the remaining people, five people hiding in the dark finally showed up.
After observing for so long, they knew clearly that they had to avoid Hun Bing's spiritual sense attack, Feng Yuqin's sword, and Xiaoying's... fire.
Previously, Xiaoying's fire had sprayed onto a black - clothed man, and he couldn't extinguish the fire no matter what. He was burned alive into a pile of charcoal.
"Hun Bing, let's split up," Xiaojin said after dozens of rounds of fighting. He finally overcame the discomfort.
But these people just couldn't believe how Feng Yuqin could have so many spiritual pets.
So the five people who showed up last not only wanted to kill Feng Yuqin but also had their eyes on her spiritual pets.
In the Xuanyu Realm, people could have at most two spiritual pets.
Because making a contract with a spiritual pet required spiritual power.
Making a contract with more than two spiritual pets demanded even higher spiritual power.
And Feng Yuqin had four spiritual pets including the ancient divine artifact.
This meant that Feng Yuqin had extremely powerful spiritual power.
The fact that they had come to deal with Feng Yuqin was exposed.
So if they didn't kill Feng Yuqin, they would die.
This made everyone fight even harder during the battle.
Feng Yuqin raised the Zhu Xie Sword again. At the sight of this, the black - clothed man quickly dodged.
The sword light rushed directly towards a tree behind.
Snap!
The thick tree as wide as a person was directly cut in half.
"Sky Yuan Slash! Go!" Feng Yuqin shouted. Layer upon layer of powerful sword light rushed quickly towards the black - clothed man on the opposite side.
This move made the black - clothed man sense danger.
So he quickly reacted and threw out a barrier.
Clang!
The barrier broke.
Puff... The sword light of the Zhu Xie Sword pierced through the opponent's chest without hesitation.
The black - clothed man was stunned. He looked down and saw a hole in his chest.
He opened his mouth, wanting to say something.
But there was no time...
With a thud, he fell to the ground.
...
A quarter of an hour later.
All the black - clothed men were taken care of.
The news of their deaths quickly reached Situ Zihan's ears.
"How is that possible? The people I arranged were all at the high - level of the Heavenly Spirit Realm and the initial - level of the Return to Dharma Realm. Feng Yuqin is just a useless person at the Myriad Phenomena Realm," Situ Zihan glared angrily at the man in front of her. "Tell me, how could she kill more than a dozen people stronger than her by herself?"
"Our information might be wrong," the man said. "Feng Yuqin is at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, not the Myriad Phenomena Realm."
"Even if she is at the Heavenly Spirit Realm, she couldn't have taken care of more than a dozen people by herself," Situ Zihan's expression twisted. "The information our people sent back clearly showed that she left alone. Tell me, how did she deal with so many of our people by herself?"
"She has spiritual pets and a very powerful sword in her hand. We're not sure exactly what kind of sword it is, but its rank must be at the top - grade of spiritual artifacts, or... even higher."
"Are you joking with me? Those useless people are dead, and you're making excuses for them?" Situ Zihan sneered.
The man didn't say a word.
Because he also didn't understand what was going on.
After the deaths of more than a dozen people, Feng Yuqin erased some traces.
Now all these people could see was what Feng Yuqin wanted them to see.
She, alone, had killed more than a dozen masters at the Heavenly Spirit Realm and the Return to Dharma Realm.
Either send people with higher strength, or don't come and get killed.
But Feng Yuqin had calculated the masters in the Xuanyu Realm.
It wasn't easy to cultivate a master at the Return to Dharma Realm.
Without absolute certainty, these people wouldn't act rashly.
This was also a kind of deterrence on her part.
The news that more than a dozen people had surrounded and attacked Feng Yuqin but were killed instead quickly reached the ears of those forces that wanted to deal with Feng Yuqin.
This made those who were about to act stop.
Before they could determine Feng Yuqin's real strength, they wouldn't make a move.
This also gave Feng Yuqin many opportunities.
She first set off for the Feiyun Sect.
She was still holding the recommendation letter given to her by the great elder.
After all, for a sect, it was not easy for outsiders to enter at times other than the recruitment period.
What Feng Yuqin didn't know was that she had become famous after the alchemy competition.
Even without the great elder's recommendation letter, she could enter the Feiyun Sect.
After entering the Feiyun Sect, Feng Yuqin didn't beat around the bush and stated her purpose.
Hearing this, the elder of the Feiyun Sect showed a look of hesitation on his face. "This Namo Bamboo is reserved by our sect master for his wife. You see..."
"Can I meet your sect master?" Feng Yuqin asked.
"I've already sent someone to invite him."
"Thank you."
Shortly after, the sect master appeared.
On the way here, he already knew Feng Yuqin's purpose.
The sect master of the Feiyun Sect highly appreciated Feng Yuqin's alchemy talent.
But regarding Feng Yuqin's request for the Namo Bamboo, he was powerless.
The sect master of the Feiyun Sect expressed his attitude the moment he saw Feng Yuqin.
"Can I go and see the sect master's wife?" Feng Yuqin asked.
As soon as these words were spoken, both the sect master and the elder of the Feiyun Sect looked at her, with a trace of doubt in their eyes.
"Don't worry. I have no other intentions," Feng Yuqin quickly said. "I'm quite good at medicine. If you're willing, I can go and take a look at the sect master's wife."
The sect master of the Feiyun Sect pondered for a moment and then nodded. "Okay, I'll take you to see her. I hope you'll give up on the Namo Bamboo after seeing her."
Give up? Feng Yuqin gave a faint smile.
This Namo Bamboo was related to her daughter's health. How could she give up? That was absolutely impossible.
