Unwelcome guests!
Li Shiyin's face turned cold. Her naturally heroic face instantly took on the air of a lone woman warrior as she asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
The visitors were none other than Zhang Shan and Wang Wu. They had followed Li Shiyin and Long Qiqi all the way here, overhearing along the way that Li Shiyin had commissioned a sword from Xu Zhiye. Now they were being led to this remote place.
That meant there was not only a beauty and mystic martial arts techniques here, but also a sword forged by Xu Zhiye and the assistance of fate itself. Their luck had arrived in full force, preventing any obstacles.
Today, they would attack two of the Five Immortals, robbing them of valuables while sparing their lives. They still wanted that sword, and they wanted... to rob some beauty!
Seeing the cold, aloof face of the fairy maiden before him, Zhang Shan's lecherous desires rose to his face. As a professional, how could he bother to answer? Drawing the sword off his back, he strode towards the fairy maiden.
In the narrow alley, faced with these vicious ruffians, the fairy maiden retreated...
"What are you trying to do?"
Li Shiyin could not help but retreat.
"Stop!"
She shouted again.
As they drew closer to the fairy maiden, seemingly able to smell her fragrance, Zhang Shan and Wang Wu grew even more excited. They picked up speed, one in front and one behind, sword and blade flying swiftly towards Li Shiyin.
Seeing the two men refusing to listen, Li Shiyin no longer retreated. Her left hand stroked the embroidered silk pouch at her waist, and an ebony sword scabbard and sword appeared in her left hand. Grasping the hilt with her right hand, her apricot eyes hardened as she looked ahead, and a flash of cold light swept across Zhang Shan and Wang Wu.
She, Li Shiyin...
Was no weak woman!
It was always her bullying others, so who dared bully her?
"Shing!"
The Starfall Sword left its scabbard!
Since there were those courting death, why not send them on their way?
She did not wait for Zhang Shan to cross the final distance and attack. Instead, she took the initiative and rushed at them with her sword.
In her dictionary, in the conduct of her Li family, there had never been such a thing as passively taking a beating. There was only...
Attack!
Frenzied attack!
Becoming the sharpest spear, attacking relentlessly without stopping, until the last enemy was hacked to pieces!
Li Shiyin attacked, her sword swinging wide and free, not gently or ambiguously like a traditional young lady, but explosively and tempestuously, like a typhoon bursting a riverbank!
The master had spent endless spirit stones and elixirs, exhausting his heart and mind to forge her physique - far stronger than an ordinary cultivator's. This granted her endless strength and speed.
"Clang!"
Her sword met Zhang Shan's parrying blade, stopping his charge in its tracks and forcing him back several steps.
"What?" Zhang Shan was shocked, his sword-wielding hand trembling uncontrollably.
Li Shiyin would not give him an answer. No, she had already given him a chance to flee, but sadly he had not grasped it. That clanging sound was the first gunshot triggering an avalanche, followed closely by...
"Clang clang clang!"
It was as if a grand musical performance was unfolding in this little alley, with countless frantic sounds ringing out rhythmically.
Under Li Shiyin’s frenzied swordplay, Zhang Shan could only desperately defend. He was like a small wooden boat in the storm, ready to capsize at any moment.
"How is this possible?" Wang Wu watched Zhang Shan's battle from not far behind, unwilling to believe it.
Zhang Shan was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. This woman was just in the Foundation Establishment stage! How could she dominate him like this? Zhang Shan couldn't even get an opportunity to utilize any abilities.
Since the alley was too narrow for them to surround her, Wang Wu had stopped in his tracks earlier on, letting only Zhang Shan charge forward to secure space for their battle.
It didn't seem like the woman was using any special arts either. She was just using mundane human sword techniques, so how could she have such power?
It felt as if... a powerful cultivator was being hammered by a mighty warrior.
"No no no..." Wang Wu shook his head repeatedly. How could he have such an impression? She just had a better foundation and slightly stronger physique than them... probably...?
Wait a moment!
A better foundation?
Wang Wu suddenly understood. She must be from an orthodox sect, and quite a major one at that, holding a position of some status, otherwise she wouldn't be so powerful.
No wonder she had mystic martial arts techniques and could get Xu the Weirdo to forge a sword for her...
"What should we do now?" Wang Wu felt uneasy. Offending disciples from major sects was bad news... No, the main issue was still that they couldn't beat her...
"No no no..." He quickly reacted. "Since we've offended her already, whether we can beat her or not, we still have to go all out..."
As Wang Wu looked ahead, although Li Shiyin was using ordinary sword techniques, her moves were precise and skilled. Clearly she practiced extensively – she was a sword cultivator.
"A sword cultivator, is it?" He had an idea. Reaching into his cosmos pouch, he took out a shuttle-shaped object and gripped it in his hand. Bit by bit, he channeled spiritual power into the shuttle.
"Chua..."
Li Shiyin thrusted out her sword, flicking it back up Zhang Shan's chest. Zhang Shan hastily parried with his own sword across his chest, but his arm was numb and he missed by a bit – Li Shiyin's sword still left a bloody gash. Zhang Shan grimaced in pain and retreated further. Sensing an opening, Li Shiyin immediately pressed forward, waiting for the right moment to utilize Rabit Kicks Eagle – her legs shot out horizontally, kicking Zhang Shan squarely in the chest.
Now that blades were drawn, Li Shiyin did not know how to hold back. Using her full strength, the kick sent Zhang Shan flying like a burst sack, crashing horizontally out of the alley.
Wang Wu hurriedly dodged aside, not even trying to catch Zhang Shan. Gripping the shuttle-shaped artifact, he turned back to see Li Shiyin nimbly landing after kicking Zhang Shan away...
Now was his chance!
"Whoosh!"
He opened his palm. The shuttle-shaped artifact instantly disappeared, transforming into a silver shadow shooting towards Li Shiyin.
Li Shiyin never underestimated her foes or relaxed her guard on the battlefield, which would give the enemy opportunities. Although she had just landed and not yet steadied herself, she still reacted quickly enough when the shuttle came at her.
In a lightning-quick reflex, she exerted force in her rear arm, making the Starfall Sword shudder like electricity...
"Clang!"
She steadily deflected the shuttle.
"Sneak attack?" She smiled coldly at Wang Wu, taking a step towards him while drawing her sword back...
"Hmm? What's going on?" Li Shiyin suddenly felt the Starfall Sword grow heavier. Hurriedly glancing at the blade, she discovered that the shuttle had not been batted away. Instead, it was stuck fast to the sword!
It seemed to weigh at least several hundred pounds, and was still increasing in weight...
"What is this thing?" She stared icily at Wang Wu.
Wang Wu grinned obsequiously, gloating, "It's a little toy, specially targeting sword cultivators like you..."
"Without your swords, you sword cultivators are just toothless tigers." He slashed his blade horizontally. Faint flames flickered along its edge. "You're... lambs to the slaughter!"
"Toothless tiger?" The thought of Chasefeng inexplicably popped into Li Shiyin's mind. Even without his claws, he didn't seem much weaker, remaining just as fierce every day.
As the shuttle continued gaining weight, she thrust the Starfall Sword into the wall beside her, empty-handed now. Clenching her fists, she asked:
"Are you sure about that?"
close your eyes and open them again, only to find yourself transmigrated into the role of a villainous male supporting character. Readers familiar with urban wish-fulfillment novels know that it is only through the relentless antics of the villainous male supporting character that the plot between the male and female leads can progress. As the villainous male supporting character, Long Aotian not only has to bully the female lead, harass the second female lead, and flirt with the third female lead, but he also has to go all out to antagonize the male lead. In the end, when his body is discovered, he is still clutching half a moldy fried dough stick in his hand. Fully aware of the plot, Long Aotian is determined to change his fate, starting with the female lead! In the beginning, the female lead lacks confidence: "Big brother, I hope I didn't scare you?" In the middle, the female lead treads carefully: "Brother Long, please don't hit me, okay?" Later on, the female lead becomes coquettishly clingy: "Aotian, it's time to pay the 'public grain' tonight." Long Aotian's legs go weak, and he feels like crying: "I taught you to be thick-skinned, not shameless!"

d intelligence to keep the plot moving, and sometimes even the protagonists are forced into absurdly dumb decisions. Why does the A-list celebrity heroine in urban romance novels ditch the top-tier movie star and become a lovestruck fool for a pockmarked male lead? Why do the leads in historical tragedy novels keep dancing between love and death, only for the blind healer to end up suffering the most? And Gu Wei never expected that after finally landing a villain role to stir up trouble, she’d pick the wrong gender! No choice now—she’ll just have to crush the protagonists as a girl!
lan, the Luo family, tracked him down - along with the babies in their arms. Mo Xuan stared pensively at the paternity test results from over a dozen top institutions, both domestic and international, showing a 99.99% match between himself and the two baby girls. At 23, Mo Xuan, a doctoral student, had become the father of two three-year-old children. The kicker? The mothers weren't even the same person! He gradually realized he was being lured step by step into an elaborate trap designed by these two yandere sisters. "Be good, little Xuan. Sister's life belongs to you entirely." "Brother, if you try to run away, I'll have no choice but to tie you up." Mo Xuan: "Do whatever you want, ladies. I give up."
