Chapter 669: Stone Guanyin, You've Made a Grave Mistake
Chapter 669: Stone Guanyin, You've Made a Grave Mistake
"I didn't expect you to guess my thoughts. I've underestimated you."
Stone Guanyin gave Ji Bingyan a cold smile before turning her gaze to the Green General, who was edging towards the tent's edge. "Are you planning to go out and find reinforcements?"
The Green General snarled, "Don't forget that I still have eight hundred brothers. They are all battle-hardened and fearless. You alone won't be able to kill us all so easily. As long as one of us survives, your schemes will never succeed. I advise you to abandon this idea!"
Stone Guanyin nodded. "Well said. Jarmuk's men are indeed fearless warriors, but unfortunately, your victory feast was held too soon. Your good brothers are now passed out drunk."
The Green General's expression changed. "You drugged them?"
"Can you still hear the sounds of drinking outside?" Stone Guanyin asked with a calm smile.
The Green General froze. Outside, it was eerily quiet. It wasn't even nightfall, but he felt a chill run through his body as if the cold had seeped into his bones.
Stone Guanyin turned to the King of Kucha and pointed to the wine jug in front of him. "This wine is enough for ten people. Have a drink, and it will save me some trouble. How about it?"
The King of Kucha's face paled. "You want to kill me?"
"No, not just you." Stone Guanyin glanced at the King of Kucha and then shifted her gaze. "Your daughter, Princess Lute, and this disgusting little brat, Jin Banhua, as well."
She was referring to Princess Lute and Jin Banhua, then turned to Autumn Snow, her voice suddenly cold. "I had planned to spare you, but why did you come here and show me your face again?"
Autumn Snow took a deep breath.
She had come to confront Stone Guanyin for personal and public reasons, and she had the support of the four elders and four guardians of the Beggar Sect, along with dozens of other high-ranking disciples.
Facing Stone Guanyin alone, it was impossible not to feel afraid.
But Stone Guanyin's words made her realize that she had a powerful ally by her side.
Although White Jade Demon wasn't a top-tier expert, Jin Banhua's sword strike was so fast that she couldn't even see it clearly!
Autumn Snow's face flushed with renewed confidence.
This only made Stone Guanyin feel both alarmed and envious. "Who made this mask for you? It's so lifelike that even I can't detect any flaws."
In the moment of Stone Guanyin's distraction, Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua suddenly attacked!
Ji Bingyan moved like lightning. Without his usual Magistrate's Sword, he formed a sword finger with his hand, weaving through the air with a whistling sound. A single touch from him would mean certain doom.
Hu Tiehua's movements were bold and sweeping, his palm strikes creating a roaring wind that shook the entire tent. The wine vessels on the table clinked, and everyone's clothing fluttered in the gusts.
The Green Bearded Man and Princess Lute's faces changed.
The Green Bearded Man gripped his knife tightly, wanting to help, but he couldn't find an opening even with his eyes wide open.
Princess Lute, holding Jin Banhua and supporting the King of Kucha, trembled with fear and shock.
They realized that Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua's martial arts were so powerful that their movements and attacks were completely beyond their comprehension. They could only feel the perfect sync and immense power of their techniques.
Compared to them, neither the Green General nor Princess Lute stood a chance.
But even against these two formidable opponents, Stone Guanyin in the middle of the fray seemed completely unfazed.
Her movements were swift, but her graceful and fluid posture made even the King of Kucha, who knew nothing of martial arts, feel a sense of ease and confidence.
Despite Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua's full efforts, their battle was confined to a small area in the center of the tent. The palm winds shook the tent, but the nearest table remained untouched.
Just as the battle reached its peak, the felt at the back of the tent suddenly tore, and a sword flashed, aiming straight for Stone Guanyin's back.
The swordsman's elbow remained motionless, but his sword strikes were swift and fierce, brimming with a killing intent that surpassed even Ji Bingyan and Hu Tiehua's.
Suddenly, Zhongyuan Yidianhong arrived!
At the same time, Qu Wurong suddenly appeared at the tent’s entrance, her face pale, and her left hand holding a dagger.
But before she could make a move, Shi Guanyin's attendant blocked her path.
"Changsun Hong?" Qu Wurong's eyes flickered.
"Senior Sister, it’s best not to act. Your right hand is crippled; you’re not a match for me." The attendant then removed a mask, her smile innocent, clear, and sweet, "Let Master deal with them. Senior Sister, you can discipline me later."
As she spoke, Changsun Hong’s smile revealed a hint of malice, "If Master rewards me with you, then it would be even better."
Qu Wurong’s expression changed, and she was about to act.
But suddenly, Shi Guanyin, who was surrounded by Yidianhong, Ji Bingyan, and Hu Tiehua, let out a soft whistle and moved with even greater speed. She fought three opponents alone and still held the upper hand.
In an instant, the wind and thunder ceased.
Hu Tiehua, Ji Bingyan, and Yidianhong all retreated, their faces serious. Shi Guanyin stood in place, a smile playing on her lips, as if the intense battle had never occurred.
The next moment, Ji Bingyan’s face was as pale as paper, a trickle of blood dripped from Hu Tiehua’s mouth, and Yidianhong’s hand holding the sword trembled. Qu Wurong, though expressionless, lowered her dagger.
"Good martial arts, but where did you learn such skills?" Hu Tiehua’s voice was hoarse.
"Under the sky, who could have created such a technique?"
Shi Guanyin smiled leisurely, "Shaolin’s martial arts are too heavy and clumsy, Wudang’s are too light and refined. This kind of skill, unseen by men, can only be created by me."
"Unseen by men?"
"This skill is called 'Unseen by Men.' Because any man who encounters this skill will lose his life. Thus, men must never see it."
Jibingyan, Hu Tiehua, and Yidianhong could not refute her, for they had all been defeated by Shi Guanyin.
Hu Tiehua sighed, "It’s a pity Chu Liuxiang isn’t here, otherwise..."
Shi Guanyin smiled slightly, "You don’t need to wait for Chu Liuxiang to fight alongside you, because he will never return."
Yidianhong’s face changed, "Why not?"
Hu Tiehua mocked, "Do you think a mere Wu Juxuan can bring him to his death?"
Shi Guanyin smiled calmly, "If there is only one person in the world who can bring Chu Liuxiang to his death, that person is Wu Juxuan."
He had thoroughly studied Chu Liuxiang from head to toe, inside and out. No one in the world could understand Chu Liuxiang’s martial arts and weaknesses better than he did...
Because the person who understands you best is never your friend, but always your enemy. Only your enemy would take the time to study your weaknesses."
Ji Bingyan asked coldly, "Who exactly is this Wu Juxuan?"
"Isn’t it obvious? It’s that fake death, the monk Wujie who came to his mother, Lady Wu Hua."
Shi Guanyin looked at Jin Banhua, a flash of cold light in her eyes, "I didn’t expect you to have a bit of cleverness."
"Thank you, thank you." Jin Banhua patted the cold hands of the attendant, comforting her, then stood up and rolled up his sleeves, "They all failed, now it’s finally my turn to stabilize the situation and astonish everyone!"
Everyone was silent.
Shi Guanyin’s lips curled into a sneer, not even bothering to look at Jin Banhua, instead, she looked at Qiuling Su, "I remember your hidden weapon skills are quite good. I thought you would have acted just now, and I even reserved some strength for you."
Qiuling Su smiled, her beautiful face showing a mix of mockery and joy, "Shi Guanyin, you’ve made a big mistake."
