Who Said My Wife Is A Demon!

Yang Shifei remained silent for a moment before shaking his head.

Seeing this, Xiang Tianlin held his breath. “You’re unwilling?”

Looking at the desolate appearance of the other party, Yang Shifei felt a headache coming on.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to act, but they had only fought once on their side. Forget about getting injured, he hadn’t even broken a sweat. He couldn’t be sure if he could lure out all the Qi Empire’s hidden troops. If the enemy was cautious, it might turn into a prolonged battle, with even more unexpected outcomes.

“My point is, you don’t have to die in vain.”

Yang Shifei’s mind raced, and he spoke in a deep voice, “Your crimes are indeed unforgivable. Even if I kill you, your family won’t come back to life. But if you still consider yourself a martial artist, then muster your last breath and die in combat.”

“…” Xiang Tianlin silently looked up at the sky, his clothes stained with blood and tears.

He twitched the corners of his mouth, crying and laughing, his dry lips trembling slightly. “In my old age, I ended up like this despite having a daughter… It’s too late for regrets.”

In a murmur, this man struggling with madness wiped the blood from his face. “You’re right. Since I have to face death calmly, I might as well die gloriously in the final battle of my life.”

“Come.” Yang Shifei raised his fists in front of him, veins protruding from the backs of his hands. “Yang Shifei, first disciple of the Fallen Moon Pavilion.”

Xiang Tianlin was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter. “I am Xiang Tianlin, the sect master of the Nine Layers Sect!”

The two sides stared at each other for a moment, then stepped forward simultaneously.

Boom!

The ground trembled slightly as two figures swiftly approached, their fists and palms swirling like biting cold winds as they collided fiercely.

Yang Shifei tightened his waist and back, muscles bulging all over his body. As soon as the two sides separated after the first strike, he firmly planted his feet on the ground without flinching, and with another punch, he met the attack head-on!

Bang, bang, bang, bang!

Both sides unleashed their punches and kicks without reservation, the sound of bones and flesh colliding echoing like drums. Their powerful qi exploded, and every move and stance burst with immense force.

Their steps intertwined and crossed, their fists and palms seemed like a storm, continuously attacking like raging waves.

Yang Shifei was shaken back by a palm and slammed into a tree trunk. He quickly dodged to the side, and the tree behind him was immediately snapped in half by a palm strike.

Just as he steadied himself, Xiang Tianlin launched three moves in quick succession, hitting him in the shoulder and sending him rolling several times in a sorry state.

Seizing the opportunity, Yang Shifei stepped on a tree stump behind him and launched a knee strike in mid-air as a counterattack.

Xiang Tianlin reacted swiftly, blocking with his arm and retaliating with a fierce claw technique.

The robe was instantly torn apart, leaving several blood marks on Yang Shifei’s abdomen.

He attempted to counterattack, but was forcefully thrown back to the ground, turning the situation into a close-quarters brawl—

..

Not far away, Luo Xian’er covered her mouth, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

The situation was not good.

Although Xiang Tianlin was covered in injuries, at this moment, perhaps with a single-minded determination to die, his attacks were unleashed without reserve, and his momentum seemed even stronger than usual.

However, Young Master Yang was ultimately no match for a martial artist who had cultivated their internal energy to the Spirit Perception realm.

No matter how strong the physical body, it couldn’t compare to the profound inner strength of the Spirit Perception level. Not to mention that Xiang Tianlin had practiced martial arts for thirty years, possessing much more abundant experience and skills than a young novice.

Even with extremely strong reflexes to maneuver for a moment, as long as there was a moment of physical weakness, just one strike… would lead to defeat.

Luo Xian’er clenched her jade-like hands in her sleeves.

But just as she was about to intervene, she couldn’t help but let out a soft exclamation.

—The situation had changed.

Xiang Tianlin’s originally fierce and frenzied offensive gradually eased, was he deliberately holding back? No, each move was gradually deciphered and suppressed, forcing him to retreat in helplessness!

Luo Xian’er’s beautiful eyes brightened.

Young Master Yang was showing signs of a counterattack!

..

Bang!

The two collided with their fists, both stepping back several steps.

After hundreds of exchanges, Yang Shifei’s sleeves were torn apart, his arms covered in bruises, looking miserable.

However, his mind was unusually calm and indifferent, and the surging cold energy gradually eased.

The next moment, he immediately stepped forward, expressionlessly sweeping his palm.

Xiang Tianlin intended to defend himself, but saw his opponent’s tactics suddenly change, turning his palm into a fist, and his internal energy burst forth in an instant!

The fierce fist wind almost grazed his face, and he couldn’t help feeling a slight shock.

Although the young man before him had suffered quite a few injuries, the force and speed he unleashed were even stronger than before. Amidst the ferocity, there was also a hint of delicacy, showing considerable change.

Xiang Tianlin was extremely surprised and hurriedly launched a series of attacks to defend himself.

The tide of battle suddenly turned.

Yang Shifei’s mind was clear, his breath held as he concentrated. The essence of various martial arts was forcibly integrated into his punches and kicks during the pounding, his techniques varied and fierce, the triple internal energy bursting forth as if it were natural.

Xiang Tianlin became increasingly shocked as he fought, unable to help but curse.

Even though he had been famous for a long time and had faced countless martial artists in the arena, he had never fought against such a bizarre young man.

Clearly, there was no trace of internal energy in his body, yet he was not afraid of pain or fatigue, and every move was flawless and precise.

What was even more puzzling was that at the beginning of the fight, he could sense the opponent’s martial arts skills were somewhat immature, and the transition between the two martial arts was stiff, indicating that he had just started practicing not long ago.

But after only a few dozen exchanges, he personally experienced what it meant to make rapid progress!

Bang, bang, bang!

Yang Shifei unleashed three punches in a row, and just as Xiang Tianlin received them, a sweeping leg struck him in midair.

He gritted his teeth and dodged to the side, but the next move came even faster, directly targeting his throat!

“This kid is too fierce!”

Cold sweat broke out on Xiang Tianlin’s forehead, and he kept retreating, already feeling slight difficulty and fatigue.

But he couldn’t help but feel a hint of excitement and a smile spread across his face.

Since becoming the sect master, when had he ever been so exhilarated? Being able to engage in a thrilling battle with someone, to walk the line between life and death, to break through himself time and time again, and to master even more profound martial arts.

This time, it felt like he had returned to his youth, to the prime of his life—

Smack!

Xiang Tianlin’s fist was firmly caught by Yang Shifei’s palm, causing both of them to pause their attacks.

“It’s over.”

“Ah.”

Xiang Tianlin was slightly stunned, only then realizing that half of his face was twitching unnaturally, contorted into an expression of anger.

He suddenly understood, smiled slightly, and took two steps back:

“Kid, you’re really something. Within five years, your name will surely be heard throughout the martial world.”

“I have no regrets dying after having a satisfying battle with such a talented martial artist like you.”

“Come.” Yang Shifei raised his blood-stained fists again, his expression calm. “The final move.”

Xiang Tianlin held his breath, his eyes focused, and he stepped forward suddenly.

Neither of them had any intention of blocking or dodging, but instead, they both swung their fists with all their might, heavily hitting each other’s chests.

—Bang!

With a resounding crash, both figures staggered back several yards.

Yang Shifei coughed up a mouthful of blood, his body tense, slowly straightening his spine.

Meanwhile, Xiang Tianlin, kneeling in the distance, bowed his head, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, but he hoarsely smiled:

“You, won.”

“…”

Yang Shifei remained silent for a moment, then walked over to Xiang Tianlin with a solemn expression. He reached out and found that Xiang Tianlin had severed his own injured heart, ending his life on the spot.

He fell silent, clenching his fists.

Ever since he crossed over to this world, he had only practiced martial arts to protect himself. Even though he had gained extraordinary combat power in a short period of time, deep down he still had an indescribable uneasiness and only wanted to become stronger to the best of his ability.

Perhaps, it was because of his sudden entry into a different world, and he always lacked a sense of security in his heart.

But now, seeing the sect master smiling in death before him…

Yang Shifei suddenly felt that he seemed to understand a little bit about what it means to be obsessed with martial arts.

“—Xiang Tianlin is dead, everything went smoothly.”

Luo Xian’er walked over unsteadily and softly asked, “Young Master, have you gained any insights?”

“No,” Yang Shifei said softly, “I just feel… a little more grounded in martial arts.”

Luo Xian’er glanced at him, a hint of approval in her eyes.

But at that moment, a cold wind suddenly blew from the distant mountains.

Yang Shifei’s eyes became solemn.

Sure enough, with Xiang Tianlin dead, those hidden soldiers from the Qi Empire couldn’t resist making a move.

“I didn’t expect Miss Luo to have such a fierce warrior by her side, it’s really unexpected.”

Several figures quietly emerged from the forest, emitting a mocking chuckle.

Yang Shifei narrowed his eyes, feeling the unpredictable power of these people, extremely dangerous.

Apart from ‘River Crossing Dragon’ and ‘Pair Butterfly Sword’, there were four other martial artists of varying ages, but without exception, they were all as formidable as Xiang Tianlin.

“You… are from the Qi Empire.” Luo Xian’er deliberately put on a teeth-gnashing expression. “It’s you who instigated Xiang Tianlin in secret!”

Xie Yiheng, titled River Crossing Dragon, shook his head. “Princess Luo, that’s not fair of you to say. Although we wanted to win him over, Xiang Tianlin suddenly went mad, which wasn’t our doing.”

“Although we don’t know who did it, we just took advantage of the situation and set up a small trap, but it really managed to lure you out, Princess Luo.”

Qiu Minghe, the Pair Butterfly Sword, smiled and stroked his beard. “In this case, we should thank them.”

Yang Shifei exchanged a glance with Luo Xian’er, feeling astonished.

Wasn’t the Murk in the East City the work of these people from the Qi Empire?

“It doesn’t matter if you two don’t believe it.” Xie Yiheng drew the patterned great sword from his back, his momentum gradually rising.

“Princess Luo, the young man by your side is severely injured and exhausted. The East City officials and the people of Jianghu are all delayed hundreds of yards away and have no idea what’s happening here. No one can come to your rescue.”

The other five exuded a fierce aura, their killing intent palpable.

Luo Xian’er’s face turned pale, she staggered, clutching her chest, and was barely able to stand with Yang Shifei’s support.

Seeing her extremely weak appearance, several Qi Empire masters laughed heartily.

“Back then, Princess Luo was so imposing, but now she has fallen to this state because of an old illness. It’s really pitiful.”

“Alright, enough idle talk.” A black-clothed old man stopped laughing, his face turning serious as he drew his sword. “This woman may still have a bit of strength left, so we mustn’t be careless. The five of us should attack together to prevent any accidents.”

“That’s natural. Hm?”

Just as the five were about to charge forward, they saw Yang Shifei step in front of Luo Xian’er.

Xie Yiheng furrowed his brow. “Kid, do you want to die first?”

Yang Shifei faced death calmly. “I am her fiancé.”

“Oh?” Xie Yiheng sneered. “What a pair of doomed lovebirds, it’s just right for you to die together here!”

Yang Shifei assumed a fighting stance, ready to ‘fight to the death’, but his sleeve was gently pulled.

“Young Master, there’s no need to pretend anymore, there are no other hidden enemies around.” Luo Xian’er’s eyes showed a hint of strangeness. “A little cheesy, perhaps.”

Without looking at Yang Shifei’s slightly trembling lips, the girl’s gaze swept over the five people not far away: “No members of the Nine Sects, no formidable enemies of the Profound Warrior level. It seems that my seclusion in the East City for these years has made you Qi Empire people look down on us, which is quite reassuring.”

“What did you say—”

The five masters from the Qi Empire widened their eyes, immediately sensing that something was amiss.

Luo Xian’er’s previously extremely pale complexion quickly regained its color, even her staggered steps were no longer unsteady.

This woman, was deliberately deceiving them!

“Someone leaked the news!”

“Don’t panic! She is indeed still recovering from her injuries. Let’s test her with an attack first!”

Seeing the five masters from the Qi Empire rushing over, Luo Xian’er only took slow steps, like a dignified lady, with a graceful posture.

The next moment, she pointed to her own forehead, her vermilion lips moved lightly:

“Bind, Unseal.”

A black aura swept around her, countless eerie patterns blossomed from the girl’s skin, spreading to the palm of her right hand.

As the strange black light circulated like a vortex, it condensed into countless shattered pieces of colored glaze, forming a black long sword suspended in the air!

Yang Shifei witnessed this scene up close and, despite being prepared, couldn’t help but stare in astonishment.

He thought he was in an era of martial arts prosperity, but seeing his fiancée display such a technique… Wasn’t it too fantastical?!
