Chapter 343: Three Strikes to Subdue the Fish Maiden
Chapter 343: Three Strikes to Subdue the Fish Maiden
The young girl, in the prime of her youth, felt a sense of awe as she gazed upon the handsome young man, and her heart filled with trepidation.
Among the diners, some scholars who had originally planned to appeal to the greater good now held back the words they had prepared.
If the man before them was an unparalleled hero, they might have dared to reason with him and persuade him with logic.
But since he enjoyed killing, they could only indulge him.
"Waiter, bring me some chicken," Qi Yuan said, feeling a bit hungry after killing.
The stunned waiter hurriedly replied, "Yes, sir, coming right up!"
Qi Yuan casually found an empty seat and sat down with Huo Mushi.
"This place is right below the windy corner, a great spot. Anyone who speaks ill of me will surely have their words carried by the wind to my ears," Qi Yuan muttered to himself.
The diners present gave awkward smiles.
The merchant had just died, his blood still warm. Who would dare speak ill of him now? However, due to Qi Yuan's recent display of bloodlust, none of the diners dared to approach the legendary Red Rod Tyrant, either waiting for someone brave enough to take the first step.
Just then, hurried footsteps echoed, and a young girl in the prime of her youth descended from the upper floor. She wore a green palace gown, looking adorable and captivating.
"I am Princess Luzhu, and I pay my respects to the Red Rod Tyrant," she said, approaching Qi Yuan's seat and gracefully bowing.
The diners stirred slightly.
This girl was a princess!
Princess Luzhu, the daughter of Empress Xiao Zhou, was the most beautiful woman in the entire Fengyuan Kingdom.
The scholars who had previously conspired to confront Qi Yuan trembled.
Qi Yuan glanced at the girl indifferently, "What do you want from me?"
"Your Excellency, you have traveled three thousand li in the Northern Region, destroyed eleven demon dens, and saved ten thousand dawns from peril. On behalf of the people, I, Princess Luzhu, thank you for your great righteousness!"
The young princess bowed, exuding a sense of maturity beyond her years.
"Oh, is there anything else?" Qi Yuan asked, picking up a peanut with his chopsticks and popping it into his mouth.
Princess Luzhu looked at Qi Yuan, her beautiful eyes flashing with determination, "I wish to offer ten thousand taels of gold as a token of apprenticeship and beseech you to accept me as your disciple!"
"Can ten thousand taels of gold buy this world?" Qi Yuan asked casually.
He was in need of money, eager to purchase Gongxing.
As soon as he spoke, the faces of everyone present changed slightly.
The implication of his words...
Could it be that the Red Rod Tyrant was planning to overthrow the current dynasty?
"Of course not!" Princess Luzhu seemed to understand the hidden meaning in Qi Yuan's words and replied, biting her lip.
This time, she had come with a royal mission to meet the Red Rod Tyrant, as her father, the Emperor, dared not.
"Since it's not possible, I don't want the gold," Qi Yuan refused.
Ten thousand taels of gold was quite a sum, and he would have to stuff it into his Blood Martial Space.
His Blood Martial Space was small, and he couldn't fit that much gold.
As for silver or gold notes, would they even be useful after leaving this place? Apparently not.
Hearing Qi Yuan's refusal, Princess Luzhu's face turned deathly pale, but she lowered her head and continued, "I am willing to be your servant, attending to your every need. I only ask that you accept me as your disciple, teach me martial arts, and protect Fengyuan!"
She was prepared to sacrifice herself.
Among the royal princesses, she was the most beautiful and held the most esteemed status.
"Your words remind me of my junior disciple," Qi Yuan recalled the scene when Jiang Lingsu first joined the door, saying something similar, "But after she became my disciple, she turned into a wealthy lady. While she has helped me a lot, she never truly served as a servant."
Princess Luzhu's mind raced with thoughts.
Then, Qi Yuan continued, "In half a day, I will be leaving this place, and I won't be taking on any disciples.
However, I am about to subdue the demons of Xi Jiang.
If you sincerely watch and learn, consider it my gift to you."
Thinking of Jiang Lingsu, Qi Yuan became more generous.
Princess Luzhu was surprised and delighted.
She was surprised that the Red Rod Tyrant was leaving, but also delighted that he was accepting her as a disciple.
Just then, a burst of melodious music filled the air, resonating continuously.
A heavenly voice, like a celestial melody, echoed from outside, "Xi Jiang Fish Maiden offers two thousand Xi Jiang water tribesmen as a dowry, inviting the Red Rod Tyrant to enter the Xi Jiang Water Palace!
If the Red Rod Tyrant wishes to dominate the Southern Lands, the Xi Jiang tribesmen will gladly obey and conquer the South!"
As these words were spoken, the faces of the diners changed, some with worry, others with indignation.
Princess Luzhu's heart skipped a beat.
"It's the Xi Jiang Fish Maiden!"
"The ruler of Xi Jiang!"
"The most powerful demonic force in the world, and she is willing to bow before the Red Rod Tyrant!"
If the Red Rod Tyrant could command the Xi Jiang tribesmen, conquering Fengyuan would be as easy as turning over a palm!"
The diners were shocked, some worried, others indignant.
If they were to switch places with the Red Rod Tyrant, they would surely be unable to resist the allure of the Xi Jiang Lord.
Princess Luzhu's face was also filled with worry, but she remained unusually silent, not uttering a word.
At this moment, a smile appeared in Zi Yuan's eyes, "This is the first time I've seen such a proactive White Moonlight."
The so-called White Moonlight, upon seeing him, would only curse and scold.
Even Princess Jasmine merely wanted to use her beauty to seduce him, with no good intentions.
As the Xi Jiang Fish Maiden spoke, a faint smile appeared in Zi Yuan's eyes, indicating his sincerity and not a lie.
"If Your Majesty agrees, I can be a commander by day, fighting for Your Majesty, and a concubine by night, at Your Majesty's disposal."
The Xi Jiang Fish Maiden's voice was like a celestial melody, with a hint of seductive charm.
The door of the inn opened, and a woman in bridal attire appeared outside.
Snowflakes fell, mixing with the red and white colors.
Looking up, the first thing that caught the eye was a pair of petite, fair-skinned bare feet.
Without shoes, she wore a blue and crystal-clear anklet, stepping on the icy snow.
Moving upwards, there were her slender jade-like legs, hidden beneath the red skirt with a slit, revealing a well-proportioned and delicate body.
Further up, there was a slender waist, even more exaggerated than her waist, and a voluptuous chest.
Her figure alone was incredibly alluring.
At the very top, a red bridal veil covered her head.
Just then, a gust of wind blew, lifting the Xi Jiang Fish Maiden's veil, revealing a... fish head to the world.
Yes, indeed, it wasn't a face, but a fish head.
Two protruding fish eyes, seemingly hard gills, and a mouth that seemed eager to be hooked.
Looking at this face, various thoughts flashed through Zi Yuan's mind, and he couldn't help but ask, "Can you have a human face above and a fish body below?"
A classic multiple-choice question appeared in Zi Yuan's mind.
On the island, there's only one mermaid to accompany you.
Do you want the mermaid to have a beautiful human face, but a fish tail from the waist down? (Note: No sharp teeth in her mouth.) Or do you want her to have a stunning figure, but a fish head?
Zi Yuan had never encountered this choice before.
Seeing the Xi Jiang Fish Maiden now, he couldn't help but recall it.
"If Your Majesty likes it, why not?" A smile flashed in the Xi Jiang Fish Maiden's eyes.
Her figure transformed at this moment.
The lower half became a fish body, and the original fish head transformed into a beautiful face, not inferior to Princess Luzhu's.
The originally terrified diners now showed a trace of greed and obsession in their expressions.
Even this fish, they found, had a unique charm.
Zi Yuan glanced at her indifferently, "Have you ever heard of..."
"Is Your Majesty going to say that humans and demons cannot coexist, or that those not of our kind have different hearts?" The Xi Jiang Fish Maiden interrupted Zi Yuan, continuing, "In this world, the power of speech has always been in the hands of the strong!
Rules and rights are only fit for Your Majesty, a powerful ruler! Your Majesty's strength is our loyalty, and we are Your Majesty's sharpest swords!"
"You're wrong." Zi Yuan finally had a chance to speak after she finished.
"My thoughts may be extreme, but..."
"Let me finish, please. It feels strange to have you interrupt me." Zi Yuan interrupted the Xi Jiang Fish Maiden, redirecting the conversation, "What I wanted to say is that the strength of White Moonlight lies in her existence within memories, and even if she were to appear in person, she cannot defeat herself.
Once White Moonlight takes the initiative, choosing to be a loyal follower, well... that's it."
"Huh?" Princess Luzhu was completely confused.
The diners in the inn were equally perplexed.
Each word of the Red Rod Tyrant's speech seemed clear, but when put together, the meaning was elusive.
The Xi Jiang Fish Maiden was also stunned.
Zi Yuan continued, "Once White Moonlight takes the initiative, you've lost.
So... go and die, become a part of me!"
With Zi Yuan's words, a chilling killing intent filled the air.
(End)
In the quiet of the night, a powerful aura suddenly filled the air, causing the blood-red wooden staff in Qi Yuan's hand to expand, resembling a towering pillar that could pierce the heavens. The ground beneath them seemed to tremble under the influence of Qi Yuan's overflowing energy.
Xijiang Fish Maiden's expression changed slightly, and she said, "As expected, you've entered the Martial Spirit Realm!"
The diners in the restaurant were all shocked by this revelation.
"The Red Rod Tyrant has entered the legendary Martial Spirit Realm!"
"It's the Martial Spirit Realm, where a single person can control the clouds and rain!"
The Martial Spirit Realm was a realm of legends.
A single person could control a country! Mountains and rivers were mere toys in the hands of a Martial Spirit.
"But even if you're a Martial Spirit, what can you do?" Xijiang Fish Maiden roared, "Twenty thousand water tribesmen, follow me to battle, and slay this beast!"
As she spoke, the calm river surface ahead cracked with a loud snap.
Countless thick ice shattered, and the army roared and howled.
"Kill! Kill! Kill!"
"Those who harm our water tribe will be exterminated!"
Twenty thousand soldiers clad in armor and wielding spears and lances, they formed a dark and imposing force, their shadows covering the river for miles.
Xijiang Fish Maiden, without anyone noticing, had returned to the river surface. Her face bore a cold smile.
From her body, an aura even more powerful than a Demon Spirit emanated.
She was a Demon Spirit!
Comparable to the Divine Embryo of the Immortal Path, she was an absolute giant among demons!
No matter which world she was in, she was not weak!
"If Your Majesty regrets now, there's still a chance!" Xijiang Fish Maiden's voice was cold and determined.
Twenty thousand demon soldiers stood behind her, an imposing black mass, her confidence and power were unprecedented.
Qi Yuan's eyes remained calm, "Luzhu, watch this..."
A domineering power.
Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique.
Death Radiance.
Fight Side by Side!
In that instant, the sky and earth darkened.
Everyone instinctively looked up at the sky.
It wasn't that the sky had turned dark, but rather... the Red Rod Tyrant's body blocked the light in the sky.
The terrifying red figure was of unknown height and size.
A hellish death god, holding a towering staff, leaped into the air.
Heaven-Shattering, Sword Technique!
Kill!
One sword strike!
No, one staff strike!
In the previous moment, there was the Thousand Mile Ice Seal and Ten Thousand Mile Snowfall.
In the next, all the snowflakes and ice blocks detached from the ground and rose into the air.
They returned to their original positions.
The sky and earth remained as they were.
But... the world had changed. In that instant, the twenty thousand demon soldiers scattered.
Xijiang severed the river.
The river evaporated.
The sky and earth shook.
The power of one staff strike was terrifying!
"Puh!" Xijiang Fish Maiden spat out a mouthful of blood, her eyes filled with disbelief.
This attack not only killed a third of the twenty thousand demon soldiers...
Even she, the first to charge, was severely injured.
"How is this possible? I'm also a Demon Spirit... a Martial Spirit shouldn't be this powerful!" Xijiang Fish Maiden's face turned pale as she roared.
In that moment, she was terrified.
"Even I couldn't withstand that strike, and you still want to marry me? Fish Head, you're thinking too much. You're only fit for some Shrimp Head Male!"
"Take another strike!"
In the sky, the towering figure struck again.
Boom!
The original Xijiang, with twenty thousand demon soldiers, lost seven thousand more.
Xijiang Fish Maiden, with the power of a Demon Spirit, had her body shattered, and even her gills were exposed.
Her face was filled with disbelief, and all her pride vanished.
"The last strike, it's time to end this!"
Heaven-Shattering Sword Technique!
Qi Yuan leaped again, and his powerful staff struck the river surface.
The scattered demon soldiers had already lost their courage, fleeing in all directions.
But when Qi Yuan appeared in this world, their fate was sealed.
In an instant, twenty thousand demon soldiers were completely annihilated, turned into flesh and mud.
No one remained unmoved!
No one was not shocked!
Luzhu County Master's body trembled as she looked at the towering figure, and for some reason, the fear in her heart disappeared, replaced by a hint of sadness.
