Who Said My Wife Is A Demon!

Chapter 34 - Sword Elegance



“Young Master, thank you just now.”

Luo Xian’er stood like a renowned immortal, holding the sword. Her hairpin slipped off, and her long hair flowed like ink.

Seeing her graceful figure, Yang Shifei couldn’t help but hold his breath, but he heard the beauty softly say: “Step back a bit to avoid being affected.”

“Alright.”

Yang Shifei suppressed his shock and quickly stepped back.

The five experts from the Qi Empire subconsciously stopped their steps, showing fear on their faces.

Such a method was no different than that of an Earthly Immortal.

Three years ago, they had witnessed the subtlety of this move from a distance, and even witnessed many heroes from the Qi Empire die under this sword. The terrifying scene at that time was engraved in their memories like a nightmare.

Even though three years had passed, they often woke up from the shock of that moment in their dreams.

And now… this woman drew her mysterious sword again!

The five masters from the Qi Empire were trembling in their hearts.

In the current era, only the transcendent experts at the level of Heavenly Martial Profound Warrior could comprehend this. Even if they practiced for decades, they might not have the opportunity to glimpse the mysteries of Profound Warrior realm.

But they quickly steadied their minds and forced themselves to calm down.

Luo Xian’er, such a genius, emerged out of nowhere, possessing combat power comparable to the pinnacle of the current era at a young age. But because of this, she incurred the jealousy of the heavens, and her cultivation gradually declined. Even three years ago, she suffered serious injuries, her strength was reduced to almost nothing, and even using martial arts was extremely difficult.

In recent years, being ‘exiled’ to the East City, it was obvious that she was beyond help and was abandoned by the Liang Empire’s royal family.

Even if she could barely exert herself despite her illness, she would probably not be able to exert much strength. If she were to forcibly push her cultivation, she might die even faster than them.

The five masters from the Qi Empire tightened their weapons in their hands, with a ruthless determination in their hearts.

They came here prepared to sacrifice. Even if this Luo Xian’er still had the strength to fight, they were willing to sacrifice their lives to eliminate a major threat to the Qi Empire!

“Princess Luo, your grace is as radiant as ever,” Xie Yiheng strengthened his internal energy secretly, advancing step by step with his knife, sneering repeatedly, “But you have no way out now. You might as well accept your fate and perhaps you can have a decent burial.”

The other four were also filled with killing intent, their faces covered with blood vessels, and their strength constantly rising.

Luo Xian’er’s dress fluttered, her eyes deep as an abyss, silently raising the black long sword into the air.

In an instant, the wind in the forest became bone-chillingly cold, as if a pale mist was spreading.

The five experts from the Qi Empire stopped their steps again.

It wasn’t fear that made them stop, but they found it extremely difficult to breathe, as if some terrifying pressure was gradually manifesting, pressing down on their shoulders, making it impossible for them to move an inch!

“This… this is…”

After realizing the existence of the pressure, Xie Yiheng couldn’t help but scream in shock, “Luo Xian’er, you’re seeking death!”

The other masters around also looked horrified.

With such momentum, how could it be something that Luo Xian’er could unleash now?

Unless this woman intended to trade her life for theirs!

..

Yang Shifei raised his arm to block the raging cold wind, secretly feeling alarmed.

Although he had long known that Luo Xian’er still had the ‘final sword’ capable of burying these Qi Empire martial artists, he never imagined the scene would be so exaggerated.

As the girl raised her sword, the wind and coldness surged in the forest, as if stirring the power of heaven and earth, causing the external environment to change abruptly.

“The Murk in the air is so powerful.”

Yang Shifei looked astonished, looking up at the sky.

The dappled shadows of the trees were filled with a dim night color, as if in the midst of darkness. Even the orientation of the heavens and the earth was completely lost.

“This is… the Extreme Martial Mysticism!”

“We can’t stay here for long, let’s escape—”

“Escape your ass! Once you’re enveloped in the profound technique, you can’t escape!”

The reaction of the Qi Empire masters varied, feeling the terrifying killing intent that pierced their hearts, all of them pale.

This was the ultimate in martial arts, different from ordinary fighting techniques. It was the pinnacle of martial arts in this world. Only those at the level of the Profound Warrior could master it, capable of communicating with the qi of heaven and earth, and creating the realm of martial intent.

Even though it was more like an illusion, for ordinary martial artists, once they fell into it, it would be a death trap.

“You can run away.”

Luo Xian’er stood gracefully in place, her clear and jade-like face exuding a hint of holiness. Her beautiful eyes were dreamy, and her lips uttered ethereal sounds, echoing everywhere within hundreds of feet.

“But no matter what, you can’t escape death.”

The ethereal sound entered their ears, but the masters were all chilled to the bone, as if their blood was frozen. Their surging internal energy was completely frozen at this moment, and only boundless fear flooded their hearts, causing their legs to tremble uncontrollably.

However, Qu Minghe quickly bit his lip, staring wide-eyed, veins bulging all over his body, looking ferocious.

“Everyone, use your killer moves and fight her!”

“If we can kill her on the spot, it’s worth even if we die here!”

“Alright! I’ll accompany you to the end, then—”

Their impassioned words abruptly stopped, and dazzling starlight suddenly appeared in the dim forest.

In a trance, everyone seemed to be in a virtual sea of stars, countless starlights flashing like flowing light, silently passing through their bodies.

“…”

In the dense forest, there was a deadly silence.

Luo Xian’er, at some point, had lowered the black sword, exhaling lightly.

Xie Yiheng was stiff all over, his eyes devoid of light, pulling up a stiff smile. “In the vast universe, dying under this move… is not unjust.”

Pfft!

The next moment, several masters exploded into a mist of blood, falling backward with their heads tilted, their vitality dissipating in the blink of an eye.

And with that, the phenomena around them disappeared as well, and rays of sunlight seeped back into the forest, restoring some warmth.

Yang Shifei watched in astonishment, almost unable to comprehend what had just happened. He vaguely saw Luo Xian’er raise her sword and all the Qi Empire experts fell, unable to withstand even a single move.

“This is… too surreal.”

Yang Shifei suppressed his shock and looked around vigilantly.

After confirming that there were no other lurking figures, he quickly stepped to Luo Xian’er’s side.

“Do you still have any strength left?”

“I…”

Luo Xian’er turned her head slightly to look at him, her face flushed, her eyes misty.

Surprised by her reaction, Yang Shifei was about to reach out, but the young lady leaned softly into his embrace, and the seemingly fantastical black sword in her hand also turned into specks of light, dissipating completely.

“You should take a rest first.”

Yang Shifei quickly lifted the unsteady lady in his arms, letting her lean against his shoulder.

“Miss Luo, we have successfully suppressed the situation here. The few who went mad have also been subdued with the help of Pavilion Master Jiang. Have you resolved your side?”

It was Chief Constable Tie who shouted out, his voice echoing in the mountains, quite loud.

Yang Shifei was about to reply, but the Miss Luo in his arms pulled his clothes and gasped, “Answer them, let’s leave here first, don’t let others see… me like this.”

“Alright, I understand.”

Yang Shifei raised his voice towards a figure rushing over in the distance. “Chief Constable Tie, rest assured, Xiang Tianlin and several Qi Empire assassins have been killed!”

About a hundred yards away, there was a vague figure rushing over. “How’s the situation? Anyone injured?”

“We’re fine. Chief Constable, you should leave first. We have some personal matters to attend to. As for the follow-up, please inform Tan Xiang at the Luo Mansion!”

“…”

The figure passing through the forest paused for a moment, then turned and ran without hesitation. “Please rest assured, we will immediately escort the prisoners back to the city. No one will disturb your leisure.”

Yang Shifei: ?

He silently grumbled for a moment, then carried Luo Xian’er to the side of the corpses.

He had intended to strike again just in case, but when he saw that their bodies were riddled with holes, as if pierced by thousands of swords, he gave up on that thought.

Just as he was about to turn around and find a horse to return to the city, he suddenly felt a wave of warmth in his arms.

Yang Shifei immediately realized that the temperature of Luo Xian’er, who was lying in his arms, was rapidly rising, her skin flushed all over, a very bad sign!

“You said a half day of rest would be enough, didn’t you? But with your current condition—”

“Find… find a place with no one…”

The girl’s whimpering voice grew weaker and weaker, making Yang Shifei increasingly anxious.

He quickly looked around and saw the outline of a mountain deep in the forest. Without hesitation, he carried the girl and ran towards it.

“About a hundred yards away, there seems to be a cave. Should we hide there for a while?”

“Mm…”

Luo Xian’er’s breathing became even more rapid, sweat oozing out, her beautiful eyes gradually losing focus.

Yang Shifei realized something was wrong and hurriedly ran into the narrow cave with the girl in his arms, carefully placing her down.

But after seeing Luo Xian’er’s current state, he was suddenly shocked.

The girl was now not only completely red all over her body, but even black lines resembling cracks appeared all over her skin, with some kind of ‘black mud-like’ substance oozing out from the cracks, emitting waves of hot steam.

Yang Shifei’s first thought was to cool her down.

He immediately grabbed Luo Xian’er’s collar, forcibly tearing open her clothes to reveal the lotus-patterned undergarment inside.

A burst of warm moisture hit his face, making him unable to appreciate the girl’s body at all. He then took off her long skirt one by one, stripping her completely.

However, even so, the waves of hot steam did not stop, and Luo Xian’er herself almost lost consciousness, murmuring incoherently like in a dream, her eyes closed tightly, her blazing red cheeks occasionally showing signs of pain.

“Don’t go… stay with me…”

“I haven’t gone anywhere.”

Yang Shifei was thinking about whether to fetch some ice-cold stream water when suddenly he thought of the figure of Tan Xiang.

“At that time, Tan Xiang absorbed an excessive amount of Murk, and her condition was similarly strange, she couldn’t even maintain her human form. Although Miss Luo only became like this after exhausting her strength, are the two situations somewhat similar?”

Yang Shifei pondered, then immediately placed his palm on Luo Xian’er’s shoulder, trying to absorb.

In an instant, a bone-piercing chill surged from his palm, making him stiff all over.

Enduring the intense pain, he saw that the hot steam surrounding Luo Xian’er was gradually dissipating.

“It works, it’s related to Murk!”

Yang Shifei was overjoyed.

But at this moment, Luo Xian’er suddenly opened her unfocused beautiful eyes, sat up abruptly, and threw herself into his arms.

“Miss Luo? What’s wrong with you now—Mm?”

Yang Shifei had just opened his mouth when his lips were firmly sealed by her scorching hot lips.

Feeling the icy coldness surging from her mouth, Yang Shifei’s face twisted in pain, but he couldn’t help feeling speechless.

Why do the master and servants of Luo Mansion like to pester people with kisses?

But before he could reflect on it, he was astonished to see Luo Xian’er’s long hair fluttering wildly, and a large amount of black mud suddenly gushed out from behind her, turning into dense and eerie black hands entwining towards them.

“Holy crap, what is this—?!”
