And that woman in red, seeing Xing Peng so effortlessly catching the hidden weapon she had thrown with his hand, a hint of astonishment flashed through her eyes. The hidden weapon she used was named ‘Sorrow Soul Nail,’ even a Heaven Level expert would not easily catch such a weapon with their hands, yet this young man in blue was able to catch her attack, which truly surprised her.
However, even though she was surprised, the anger in her eyes did not subside. Almost at the instant Xing Peng caught her hidden weapon, she suddenly broke away from the woman in white, and with a wave of her right hand, another hidden weapon was launched towards Xing Peng.
Moreover, as this hidden weapon was launched, she waved her right hand repeatedly, sending seven similar hidden weapons, one after the other, towards Xing Peng, covering all his directions.
“Tss, tss!” A cold light flashed in Xing Peng’s eyes, and he used both hands to execute the ‘Spirit Finger’ to meet those incoming hidden weapons. Although the method used by the woman in red to launch the hidden weapons was unique, Xing Peng still easily caught them in his hands. After catching the hidden weapons, without waiting for the woman in red to attack again, he, without saying a second word, threw the hidden weapons back at the woman in red with a ‘Scattered Flower Rain’ technique, causing all the hidden weapons to reach the woman in red in the blink of an eye, changing her complexion dramatically and a hint of terror appeared in her eyes.
The ‘Scattered Flower Rain’ technique used by Xing Peng is also an ancient martial art of Earth. Although he had not specifically practiced hidden weapons before, the power displayed when he executed this technique was very terrifying.
“Tss, tss!” A large number of ‘Sorrow Soul Nails’ tore through the air, producing a harsh sound, causing everyone who heard this sound to feel a surge of fear.
Just as the woman in red was about to be killed by Xing Peng’s attack, the woman in white, who was originally smiling, suddenly waved her sleeve lightly. Her sleeve seemed like a meteor shower spilling out, instantly enveloping all the ‘Sorrow Soul Nails’ together, saving the woman in red from the crisis.
Seeing the woman in white make a move, Xing Peng’s brows suddenly knitted together. Although this woman in white was very beautiful, her protective behavior made Xing Peng somewhat displeased. His right hand moved slightly, ready to execute ‘The Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms’ to attack the woman in red again. Xing Peng has never been kind to anyone who dares to kill him.
“Sir, please stop!” The woman in white suddenly spoke up.
“Why should I stop!” Xing Peng glanced at the woman in white, slightly suppressed his palm force, coldly pursed his lips, then asked in a deep voice, “And who might she be to you?”
“XiaoHong is my maidservant. She did not intend to target sir earlier, please forgive XiaoHong’s recklessness,” the woman in white said gently, her voice melodious and captivating.
“Miss…” The woman in red exclaimed upon hearing this.
Unauthorized duplication: this narrative has been taken without consent. Report sightings.
“Shut up, and quickly apologize to this sir!” the woman in white glared at the woman in red.
After hearing this, the woman in red pouted, then glared fiercely at Xing Peng, her eyes clearly conveying a warning, as if to say if you dare make me apologize, I’ll fight you on the spot.
“Let her apologize? Forget it, I still want to live a few more years! If you, miss, truly wish to apologize, then please invite me to drink alone,” Xing Peng shrugged his shoulders, dissolving the Profound Qi in his hands.
“Bah! Who do you think you are? It’s delusional of you to think that. Let me tell you, with your status, you’re not worthy to drink with our miss!” Before the woman in white could speak, XiaoHong, like a snake whose tail was stepped on, jumped up.
“Yo, it’s just a drink, and even that’s considered delusional? Alright, then today, I, Xing Peng, am indeed delusional! Today, if your miss does not accompany me for a drink, then this matter cannot end like this,” Xing Peng looked at the woman in red with a rascally expression, really having no good impression of this malicious girl.
“You dare!” The pupils of the woman in red shrank, and then with a slight release of Profound Qi from her left hand holding the sword, ‘clang’, she pushed out most of the sword’s blade. The moment the blade was pushed out, a terrifying sword Qi was released, instantly creating a storm, making the atmosphere in the entire tavern oppressive.
“Stop, you girl, always causing trouble for me!” the woman in white suddenly waved her left hand lightly, brushing the drawn sword in the woman in red’s hand back, then tapped the woman in red’s forehead with a scold.
“Ow! Miss, why are you hitting me! It was him who was rude first!” XiaoHong cried out in pain, looking innocently at the woman in white, tears sparkling in her eyes.
“Still talking, if it wasn’t for your rash actions, how could things have turned out like this? I’ve already told you, don’t be too impulsive in your actions, but you just don’t listen. If it wasn’t for this sir’s considerable strength, you would have almost caused a huge disaster,” the woman in white said sternly.
“Why did he keep staring at you, miss? Humph, these men are no good. If they weren’t looking at you, miss, how could I have acted so rashly?” XiaoHong still stubbornly said.
“Forget it, you two stop acting already. Consider me, Xing Peng, unlucky today. Not drinking this wine is fine! But, humph, if there’s a next time, I, Xing Peng, will definitely not hold back!” Xing Peng, seeing their act, coldly huffed, then turned around and left the tavern, disappearing in the blink of an eye.
Although the woman in white was very beautiful, making Xing Peng’s heart flutter, he was very dissatisfied with the woman in white’s testing behavior. These two really treated him, Xing Peng, as a fool. Although Xing Peng could not discern the woman in white’s strength, he vaguely felt pressure from her, so he was certain that the woman in white was at least an early Heaven Level martial artist, otherwise, she could not have easily neutralized his attack.
With the woman in white’s strength, if she really wanted to stop it, she could have prevented the woman in red’s action, but she chose not to, from which Xing Peng clearly perceived the woman in white’s intention to test him. Therefore, Xing Peng, although puzzled by why the two wanted to test him, no longer wished to stay in the tavern.
After Xing Peng left, the woman in white and the woman in red exchanged glances, then also left the tavern.
“Xing Peng! Isn’t he the son of the Carefree King? It seems the rumors were not wrong, the Carefree King’s son, can actually practice martial arts!”
“He is actually Xing Peng, it’s really surprising. He even dared to tease Fairy MingYue, really don’t know what to say about him…”
As the three left, the tavern suddenly burst into a buzz. The reason why they had been silent before was entirely because of the woman in white; they all wanted to leave a good impression in front of the woman in white. If not for her, they wouldn’t have been so quiet. Although the rules of the Drunken Immortal Residence were strange, they weren’t strange to the point of prohibiting loud talking.
