Chapter 67: Discussing Interest Rates

  The spirit of the monument manipulated Zhang Shan's body, step by step approaching them.

  "Big brother Shī, it seems like he's trying to stop us from leaving?" Fēng Píng Yuán said uncertainly.

  Xing Yuebo sneered: "Delusional, he was just chased by us like a dog earlier, now he wants to keep us here, who does he think he is?"

  However, considering that the remaining time for Qingling Dan's medicinal effect was not long, to avoid any unexpected events, he still ordered the two to form a formation and cross-protect each other as they retreated.

  The stele spirit stepped forward with one foot, and the fierce wind suddenly advanced. In an instant, it swept to the front of the three people. The Qinghong sword in his hand split into three sword shadows, which struck the three people at the same time.

  Xing Yuebo burst out laughing in extreme anger: "You really think you can defeat the three of us by yourself, don't you?"

  Suofeng and Zhangshan also knew that time was tight, so they didn't hold back, attacking Zhangshan from both left and right sides.

  The sword shadows of Suo Feng and the other person suddenly accelerated, meeting the arm guards and long whips.

  The light clash of the two weapons, Suo Changtian and Feng Pingyuan felt that the tip of their swords was empty and unforceful, with a kind of uncomfortable feeling of using the wrong force, and their weapons inexplicably shifted direction.

  Two sword shadows vanished into thin air, while the middle one surged violently and collided with Xing Yuebo's sword.

  "Boom!"

  The sound of two swords clashing echoed through the night sky, Xing Yuebo's face turned pale, his chest felt a pang, and his body was also shaken backwards in a sudden retreat.

  "How can he be so strong? It's as if three Lingwu Sixth Stage cultivators are attacking together." Xing Yuebo was shocked and uncertain in his heart.

  "This is a perfect yin-yang mess, and the difference between Bai Ling's skillful display and his own is like heaven and earth. Zhang Shan couldn't help but admire Bai Ling's perfect moves."

  Bei Ling took a wrong step and flashed in front of Feng Pingyuan on the left, with a simple sword that slashed down at him.

  Feng Pingyuan only felt that his entire person was locked in by this sword, and the surroundings seemed to be sealed off, an unprecedented sense of crisis surged up in his heart.

  He let out a loud and long roar, all his true yuan bursting forth at once, the two arm guards dancing up a cluster of illusory shadows.

  The sound of metal clashing was accompanied by a low growl, as Feng Pingyuan spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward.

  "Bastard."

  Xing Yuebo angrily shouted, his body pounced towards Zhang Shan, a thread of cold air emerged from the sword, and wherever he passed, the ground also condensed a layer of frost.

  "This is Han Bing Wu Hun, he's going all out." Zhang Shan's heart tightened.

  A red long whip-like shadow appeared behind Suo Changtian, and the long whip in his hand simultaneously ignited a dark red flame, which rolled towards Zhang Shan with a whistling sound.

  The sword in Ling's hand swung and turned, drawing a circle in front of him, and the Yin-Yang chaotic character array was activated.

  Xing Yuebo's sword energy, which was cold and menacing, was drawn by a strange force and shot straight at Suo Changtian.

  Suō zhǎng tiān de liè yàn biān tóng shí yě mò míng qí miào de yī guǎi, fǎn ér xiàng xíng yuè bō chōu le guò qù.

  Translation:

  The flames that had been raging in the sky suddenly and inexplicably veered off course, instead sweeping towards Xing Yuebo.

  "What are you going to do?" Xing Yuebo was forced to stop his charging figure, stepped back and let the whip pass by, and shouted angrily at Suo Changtian.

  Suō Zhǎng Tiān was even more flustered, busily dodging the sword's shadow, his face deathly pale as he loudly shouted: "Xīng Shī Xiōng, why are you attacking me?"

  "No..."

  Xing Yuebo's mind flashed with a thought, and he looked at Zhang Shan with a mixture of fear and admiration, exclaiming in a low voice: "This is the Yin Yang Chaos Sword Intent from the Yin Yang Birth and Destruction Sword Manual. How did you perfectly grasp its sword intent?"

  The Yin Yang Birth and Death Formula is a high-level martial skill of the Xuantian Sect, suitable for both offense and defense, with extremely great power. However, it requires too much from the practitioner's comprehension. If the warrior cannot grasp the sword intent, then they will not be able to achieve great success, making it less promising than other martial skills.

  As a result, very few people chose this martial art, and later it was gradually abandoned by the disciples of the sect.

  Now, seeing Zhang Shan unexpectedly grasping the sword intent of this sword technique in less than two months, Xing Yuebo couldn't help but feel a mix of emotions, and his underestimation of Zhang Shan was instantly dispelled, replaced by a faint sense of fear.

  If it weren't for the threat of the Seven-Colored Mirage, Xing Yuebo thought that even if they both suffered losses, he would still want to kill Zhang Shan here and now; otherwise, if he gave him time to grow stronger, he might end up being defeated by his hand in the future.

  "Xing Shixiong, has he really mastered the Yin Yang Creation and Destruction Sword?" Suo Changtian retreated to Xing Yuebo's side, asking in disbelief.

  At this time, Feng Pingyuan also crawled out from underground, with a fearful expression, and approached the two people.

  "Go, leave here immediately, go out and think of a way."

  Xing Yuebo's mind turned rapidly, calculating that the Qingling Dan medicine was about to run out of effect. In an instant, she made a decision and swiftly retreated backwards.

  Seeing him retreat without hesitation, Suo Changtian dared not hesitate and also retreated quickly.

  Feng Ping was taken aback for a moment before reacting and hastily followed, but had already fallen behind to the last position.

  This opportunity was naturally not let go by Ling, who unfolded his star-step and flashed to the back of Feng Pingyuan in an instant, with one sword stabbing straight into his back.

  Feng Pingyuan has just suffered a loss, his internal organs have been injured, and his companions have already escaped. If he is caught by him, there will be no good outcome.

  In great surprise, he exerted himself and used his armguard to block in front of his chest, but his body shape accelerated backwards in a sudden retreat.

  "Clang!"

  The sword tip pierced through his sleeve, and with a burst of energy, Feng Pingyuan spat out another mouthful of fresh blood.

  However, he was not surprised but delighted, which was exactly what he had intended. He wanted to use Zhang Shan's momentum to fake an injury and retreat with the help of the momentum.

  Bei Ling hummed and stopped in his tracks, raised his left arm, spread his five fingers, and made a grasping motion towards Feng Pingyuan.

  "Heavenly Net Snatches Stars!"

  Feng Pingyuan's body suddenly stopped in mid-air and then flew back towards Zhang Shan.

  "What's going on?"

  Feng Pingyuan felt as if his entire being was bound by an invisible force, and with a great effort, he let out a mournful shriek: "Xing Shixiong, save me!"

  Xing Yuebo's eyes hesitated for a moment, but he didn't stop. Instead, he took the opportunity to turn around and speed up, rushing forward. Su Changtian's eyes showed a mixture of sadness and fear, and he also turned around, not daring to linger for a moment.

  "Zhang Shidi, I was also forced into this matter. Please spare me, and from now on, I will follow your lead unconditionally."

  Feng Pingyuan's eyes flashed with despair, and he begged for mercy from Zhang Shan in a loud voice.

  "Now saying this, isn't it a bit too late?" Zhang Shan thought with disgust.

  "What does the host want to do with it?" A thought was transmitted by the stele spirit.

  "Kill him then, are you going to take him with us to get the Twin Lotus Flowers?" Zhang Shan said coldly.

  If it were in peacetime, he might have even brought him back to the sect and handed him over to the Law Enforcement Hall for punishment. However, next they still had to go to Spider Cave to find the Twin Lotus to save Ling Yuwei, and bringing this guy along would only bring trouble for himself.

  A flash of sword light, and Feng Pingyuan, who was still screaming for mercy, suddenly split into two halves in mid-air before crashing to the ground.

  "Sister, I'll consider this a small interest for now." Zhang Shan muttered to himself.

  The Spirit of the Monument sheathed his sword, took off a pair of arm guards from Feng Pingyuan, and measured them: "The material of this spiritual instrument is not bad. If it's re-refined, it should be suitable for the host."

  Next, he took off Feng Pingyuan's Xumi ring and scanned his divine sense inside: "Hey, host, the harvest is not bad, over a hundred low-grade spirit stones, as well as some miscellaneous materials and elixirs."

  "In that case, it seems like I can finally repay the debt to Fang Shijie. Hmph, indeed, killing and robbing is the fastest way to get rich."

  "Ah, in that case, we should also leave here. After going out, find a place to remove the Wanjiliqing poison from Ling Shizi, and then head to the Subnoon Valley."
