Chapter 687: Jin Banhua's Three Traps for Chu Liuxiang

Facing the five experts, Chu Liuxiang stood up and bowed, "I am honored to have the opportunity to witness the prowess of esteemed seniors at Yongcui Manor. It is a joy beyond measure, but it is a pity that you refuse to reveal your true faces."

The five remained silent.

Chu Liuxiang continued, "Even if you don't wish to show your faces, why cover your eyes as well?"

One of the black-clad figures said, "We wield swords with our minds; what need is there for eyes?"

Chu Liuxiang calmly replied, "But don't you want to see who your opponent is today?"

The five fell silent once more.

Li Yuhuan immediately spoke up, "These five seniors have come to fulfill my father's wish. They have never fought together before, and they won't do so again. Therefore, they won't reveal their faces, and they don't care who you are."

Chu Liuxiang's anger showed in his words, "Is this truly your father's wish, or is it just your personal desire?"

Li Yuhuan's expression changed, and he quickly said, "Of course, it's my father's wish."

Chu Liuxiang smiled faintly and continued to probe, "If that's the case, is your father's wish to test the sword formation or to kill me?"

Hearing this, Li Yuhuan froze, his face turning pale. But Liu Wumei smiled, "There's no difference between the two."

Liu Wumei fixed her gaze on Chu Liuxiang, her charming eyes turning sharp, "If the formation is flawless, you will inevitably become its sacrifice. And with these five seniors working together, do you think you can break through?"

Chu Liuxiang sighed, "If that's the case, why discuss the merits of the sword formation? Why not just say you want to take my life here; isn't that more straightforward?"

Liu Wumei's eyes turned charming again, "That's not necessarily true. With your unparalleled light body skills, if it weren't for the sword formation and only these five seniors working together, you might still have a chance to escape."

"You flatter me!" Chu Liuxiang smiled, but still tested, "What deep grudge do I have with you and your husband that you insist on taking my life here?"

Liu Wumei's eyes flashed, refusing to take the bait, "I've said it before; this isn't our wish, it's my father's."

The five experts looked at Li Guanyu, then at Chu Liuxiang, remaining silent.

But Hu Tiehua, who had been listening all along, was excited, "This formation requires at least six people to activate, but only five have arrived. You probably didn't expect Shuai Yifan to leave without a word, did you?"

Shuai Yifan, with his pride and arrogance, took the lead in attacking alone. After his failure, he couldn't bear to draw his sword again and left without a word, leaving the formation one person short.

"Whether Senior Shuai comes or not, it doesn't matter," Liu Wumei smiled, "Haven't you heard that sometimes, even a poor substitute can fill a role?"

Liu Wumei prepared to fill the vacancy, and another black-clad figure drew his sword to test her, acknowledging her determination.

Thus, Liu Wumei approached Li Guanyu and asked for his sword.

Li Guanyu remained silent, so Liu Wumei took it as consent and reached for the sword in front of Li Guanyu.

Li Guanyu's eyes, which had been vacant, suddenly flashed with starlight, but in the end, he didn't speak.

So, facing Chu Liuxiang were six people.

Hu Tiehua looked at Jin Banhua, "Why aren't you taking action? Do you still think Chu Liuxiang has a chance?"

Jin Banhua nodded, emphasizing again, "Of course, you must believe in Chu Liuxiang!"

"I can't wait any longer!" Hu Tiehua jumped up and came to Chu Liuxiang's side, "Since they have six people, why can't we have two? Two is better than one!"

Liu Wumei looked at Jin Banhua and mocked her, "You should listen to him. He might have a slim chance alone, but with you, there's not even a sliver of hope."

Jin Banhua clapped and laughed, "Brother Hu, they're already insulting you to your face, can you bear it?"

Hu Tiehua couldn't bear it, and even if he died, he would do so in front of Chu Liuxiang.

But Chu Liuxiang grabbed Hu Tiehua and wrote the word 'rescue' on his hand, signaling him to save Su Rongrong and the other women while Li Yuhuan and Liu Wumei were occupied.

Hu Tiehua took a deep breath and slowly retreated.

"It seems Brother Hu has figured it out, and that's good." Liu Wumei pointed at Jin Banhua, "Look at Jin Gongzi, he has a good sense of self-awareness because he knows we're not dealing with him."

Jin Banhua nodded, speaking earnestly, "That's right, so as long as you don't target me, you don't have to worry about me helping Chu Liuxiang."

Liu Wumei scoffed, but still deliberately acted coquettish in her thanks, "Then thank you, Jin Gongzi."

"Don't mention it." Jin Banhua said matter-of-factly, "Not only that, I also kindly remind you that you haven't activated the Sword Formation yet. As the weakest link, you should be careful of Chu Liuxiang's sudden sneak attack. If he takes your longsword, your formation will fall apart."

A gleam flashed in Liu Wumei's eyes, "What did you say?"

The next moment, Chu Liuxiang's figure had already reached her side, his curved finger like a hook, using the Dual Dragon Snatching Pearl technique to directly aim for Liu Wumei's eyes.

Liu Wumei was greatly startled, and she flew backwards, but remembering Jin Banhua's warning, she dared not let her longsword linger or expose it. As her body turned, she concealed the sword under her armpit and swept it backwards.

Liu Wumei's martial arts skills were indeed inferior to Chu Liuxiang's, in this prepared situation, Chu Liuxiang couldn't possibly take away her longsword in one move.

Especially since Chu Liuxiang didn't intend to kill Liu Wumei.

So, after Chu Liuxiang's failed attempt, five longswords suddenly unsheathed, all pointing towards Chu Liuxiang.

Chu Liuxiang's body spun, and he nimbly circled around, his figure weaving through the Sword Curtain formed by the five longswords, yet not even his clothes were pierced.

Liu Wumei breathed a sigh of relief, her eyes filled with malice as she clenched her teeth and thrust her sword forward, joining the sword formation in the encirclement of Chu Liuxiang.

Hu Tiehua, watching from the side, was shocked and stared at Jin Banhua, "You've tricked the old bug again?"

"Don't worry." Jin Banhua patted Hu Tiehua's shoulder, "With me here, how can Chu Liuxiang be in real danger? You should go and do your own thing."

Hu Tiehua blinked, "Really?"

Jin Banhua nodded, "Really!"

"Good!"

So, Hu Tiehua nodded solemnly, leaped out the window, and flew away.

Next, Jin Banhua sat at the desk, poured herself a cup of wine, and while sipping, she ate lotus seeds and leisurely watched Chu Liuxiang being besieged by the sword formation, occasionally clapping and laughing.

"Excellent sword formation! Excellent sword technique!"

"Although the seniors haven't shown their true forms, their swordplay is solemn, their movements and swords are steady, swift, and sharp, truly unleashing the full power of this sword formation!"

"Excellent lightness skill! Excellent body technique!"

"Chu Liuxiang's reputation for his lightness skill in the martial world is not without reason. He can actually move back and forth in such a densely packed sword formation with ease and leisure, as if it's child's play!"

Chu Liuxiang's expression remained unchanged, and while it was true that he didn't let the sword tips touch his clothes, only he knew if he was truly relaxed.

The six people forming the sword formation were already extremely shocked by Chu Liuxiang's lightness skill and body technique, and they were tense and on high alert, but upon hearing Jin Banhua's slightly mocking praise, they couldn't help but glance sideways, revealing their dissatisfaction.

The only one who could act was Li Yuhuan.

So, Li Yuhuan came to Jin Banhua's side and said coldly, "Brother Jin, having studied under multiple masters and learned various skills, your eye for talent is indeed good."

Jin Banhua nodded and said softly, "My eye for talent is indeed good. Not only did I see that these five seniors are top experts not inferior to sect leaders, but I also noticed that Elder Li has already suffered from Fire Poisoning and is unable to move or speak."

Li Yuhuan's expression changed abruptly.

However, before he could react, Jin Banhua had already struck his acupoint.

Then, Li Yuhuan could only watch as Jin Banhua calmly got up and came to Li Guanyu's side.

"Elder Li!"

Jin Banhua sat next to Li Guanyu, then placed a palm on his back and continued drinking and eating lotus seeds, "Your sword formation is quite powerful. Now, with Chu Liuxiang here, you can test it and take the opportunity to study it, seeing where it needs improvement."
