"Who's there? Co out!"
The voice was cold and filled with killing intent.
Xu Nian imdiately realized sothing was wrong.
He had initially only intended to draw out the Rashamon City Lord, but he hadn't expected the Rashamon City Lord to be a woman.
Even more unexpectedly, the Rashamon City Lord was actually bathing.
"Clang!"
Just then, a resonant zither sound echoed.
Following that, Xu Nian saw the wood door of the residence where the Rashamon City Lord stayed suddenly explode outward.
An invisible blade streaked out from the room.
The speed of the invisible blade was incredibly fast and extrely fierce.
Even Xu Nian felt a tingling sensation on his scalp.
Xu Nian dared not be the slightest bit negligent.
He imdiately summoned his Immortal Sword and struck down hard toward the invisible blade.
"Clang!"
The mont Xu Nian's Immortal Sword collided with the invisible blade.
Xu Nian, along with his sword, was sent flying backward.
Although the invisible blade was shattered, Xu Nian didn't fare much better.
He flew back hundreds of feet before he could stabilize his form.
In that instant, even the Immortal Sword in his hand had been flung away.
Even so, the force had caused his palms to split open, blood streaming down.
Xu Nian frowned, his eyes also filled with displeasure.
Although he was the one who had been rude first, for this woman to attack without a word was a bit too domineering.
"Hum!"
However, just then, Xu Nian looked up ahead.
He saw a stunning woman with black hair, dressed in a black robe, sitting cross-legged mid-air.
And on her lap lay a guqin.
This guqin had a total of nine strings.
Just now, the stunning woman had only plucked the first string.
And it had already made Xu Nian so embarrassed—he dared not imagine what it would be like if all nine strings were played simultaneously,
or if she played a murderous lody, what a terrifying scene that would be.
"Using a guqin as a weapon, killing with sound, it really is my first ti seeing this, but it's truly terrifying," Xu Nian thought to himself in amazent.
Such a thod of using zither sound as a ans of killing, whether in a duel or facing an army, could hold an invincible position.
Because sound attack is all-encompassing without any blind spots.
It can attack in assault and protect in retreat.
Truly a marvelous thing.
But now it was too late for Xu Nian to be astonished.
Because he realized that the woman in the black dress was once again lifting her hand to press on those strings.
"Stop... I an no harm; the offense was just..." Xu Nian hurriedly explained.
But before Xu Nian could finish, the woman's delicate hand once again pulsed the strings.
"Clang!"
Another resonant sound.
Suddenly, violent winds surged around them.
A chilling aura of slaughter spread.
Following that, Xu Nian saw three sword energies breaking through the air.
Atop the sword radiance, powerful Wind Vibration Profound Arguntation was embedded.
This swinging sword was enough to execute a Zifu Peak Level expert.
Rage swelled in Xu Nian's eyes.
A dense killing intent suddenly erupted.
The woman was clearly startled by this killing intent, having not expected the young man before her to burst forth with such terrifying murderous intent.
Then she saw a large cauldron appear in front of the young man.
The mouth of the cauldron faced her.
And in the young man's hands, a hamr appeared.
The young man didn't use the hamr to deflect the three great sword energies.
Instead, he fiercely struck the bottom of the large cauldron right in front of him with his hamr.
"Clang!"
A crisp sound of a bell ding reverberated.
At the sa mont, a terrifying wave in the form of a circle burst forth from the mouth of the cauldron, thunderously striking the three sharp swords.
"Clang!"
A sound of extre vibration resonated.
The three sharp swords ca to a complete halt, finally shattering into pieces in the midst of the bell ding sound.
The woman's black hair fluttered under the blow of this terrifying wave.
Her delicate visage was like that of an unparalleled Evil Immortal.
It captivated the mind.
Exhaling heavily after striking the blow, Xu Nian's eyes were piercing and cold.
This strike was not easy.
He had almost mobilized all the True Essence in his body to strike the Divine King Tripod.
After all, the person before him was a master of the Cave Void level.
"Who are you? Why are you causing trouble in my City Lord Mansion? Don't you know the rules of Rashamon City?" the woman finally ceased her attack and spoke.
However, her voice remained icy, as cold as frost hitting the ground.
Seeing that the woman had stopped attacking, Xu Nian relaxed sowhat.
However, just to be cautious, Xu Nian did not retract the cauldron.
"I am not here to cause trouble, but to inform you that soone in your Rashamon City is causing trouble," Xu Nian spoke.
"Who?" the woman asked again.
"The Young Family Head of the Feng Family, Feng Yan, he plans to kidnap children in your Rashamon City and use them as bait to deal with the Iron Blood Demon Spider," Xu Nian imdiately responded.
Upon hearing this, the Rashamon City Lord's eyebrows slightly furrowed.
Now Xu Nian's words stirred a hint of aversion in her heart.
"Why should I believe you?" the Rashamon City Lord asked sharply.
"You don't have to believe , you may scatter your Spiritual Sense to see if what I'm saying is true. But you can also choose to ignore it, after all, this matter involves the entire Feng Family and dicine King Valley behind the scenes. If you confront Feng Yan, the Feng Family may not let you off easily," Xu Nian explained.
Rashamon City Lord scoffed coldly, "Provoking tactics won't work on , but if what you say is true, it's not just about the Feng Family—even if it's the Three Great Sects, anyone daring to commit such outrageous acts in my Rashamon City will not be spared," Rashamon City Lord said coldly.
Xu Nian smiled faintly.
He said no more.
The kindness of Rashamon City Lord evoked a slight admiration in his heart.
People who knew of the dangers yet resolutely opted for justice, Xu Nian truly respected from the bottom of his heart.
Now Xu Nian sowhat regretted involving her.
However, protecting Rashamon City was her duty.
"Hum!"
Rashamon City Lord already had her eyes closed.
She dispersed her Spiritual Sense to investigate.
Xu Nian did not disturb her.
This ti, he withdrew the Divine King Tripod and the Kunlun Hamr, silently recuperating his strength.
He believed that Rashamon City Lord would not attack him again.
"Court death!"
Not long after, Rashamon City Lord suddenly opened her bright eyes, filled with endless Killing Intent.
With a sweep of her sleeves, she put away her ancient zither.
Then, her figure swiftly moved towards the east within the city.
Her robes flattered, and her Killing Intent almost reached its pinnacle.
Seeing this, Xu Nian smiled slightly.
His figure turned into Thunderclap Speed and followed.
He knew Rashamon City Lord was heading towards Feng Yan.
Clearly, she had detected Feng Yan's actions.
The two sped along.
One in black and one in white.
The forr with an overwhelming intention to kill and incredibly fast speed.
Xu Nian pushed Thunderclap Speed to its limit but still found it hard to keep up with Rashamon City Lord's pace.
This left Xu Nian extrely astonished.
His speed was not inferior to the Zifu Peak Level.
After maximizing Thunderclap Speed, it was even comparable to the Early Stage Cave Void.
Rashamon City Lord possessing such speed showed the extraordinary nature of her cultivation technique.
"What a remarkably peculiar woman! Young in age, yet not only sits as the city lord but also willingly defends the city with her life. This is indeed extrely rare," Xu Nian murmured to himself.
