Chapter 51 My Sister-in-Law's Sword Should Not Be Underestimated
Qin Shuyu's voice wasn't loud, but it was like the sharpest ice pick, piercing the heart of every Imperial Guard present!
icy!
Absolutely!
It was filled with a tragic spirit of "better to die a glorious death than live a shameful life!"
Everyone was stunned by the terrifying aura that suddenly erupted from her!
They never imagined that this stunningly beautiful woman, who looked even more fragile than a porcelain doll, would utter such fierce words!
Such a fierce killing intent actually erupted!
Is this really the same sleepy, pitiful-looking girl next door from just a moment ago? The contrast is too great!
A tremendous wave of emotion surged within Shen Lian's heart!
He stared intently at Qin Shuyu, and could clearly feel that the other's sword had completely locked onto him!
It was a strange feeling, as if no matter where he fled, the cold Autumn Water Sword would follow him like a shadow, eventually piercing his throat!
What terrifying sword intent! What terrifying swordsmanship talent!
Shen Lian had no doubt that if this woman were given enough time, her future achievements would be limitless!
It's not impossible for him to even surpass the legendary Lord of White Cloud City and Sword God Ximen!
But right now... she is still just a fledgling who has just stepped into the Acquired Realm.
He possesses astonishing sword intent and unparalleled talent, but lacks the profound internal strength to match them!
That sword strike was earth-shattering; it must have exhausted all her strength.
She's just putting on a show of bravado now, and she's only at her last gasp!
Thinking of this, Shen Lian's somewhat flustered heart instantly calmed down.
The cold expression on his face returned to that confident one of complete control.
"That's interesting."
He looked at Qin Shuyu, a cruel smile curving his lips.
"It seems I've caught a real big fish today."
"I thought you were just a pretty plaything for that kid named Yang Qian, but I never expected you to be the real mastermind hiding behind the scenes!"
He actually mistook Qin Shuyu for the mastermind behind all of this!
You can't blame him for that, after all, Qin Shuyu's sword strike just now was truly amazing and deceptive.
No one could have imagined that someone with such terrifying swordsmanship talent would be just a novice in martial arts.
"Kill my men!"
Shen Lian slowly raised the Embroidered Spring Blade in his hand. "You still dare to point your sword at me? Miss, you probably won't be leaving Qixia Town today."
His eyes flashed with murderous intent!
He decided to take matters into his own hands!
Capture this exceptionally gifted woman!
He intends to take her back to the capital and present her to the Emperor!
This is an incredible achievement!
That's enough to propel him to the top!
"Go!" Shen Lian did not act immediately.
He is a cautious person and will not easily take risks before he has fully figured out the other party's cards.
He coldly gave orders to his men behind him.
"Form the formation! Use the 'Heavenly Net' formation and capture her!"
"Yes, sir!"
The remaining dozens of Imperial Guards roared in unison!
They quickly dispersed and surrounded Qin Shuyu!
Their movements were perfectly synchronized, full of iron-blooded rhythm!
The embroidered spring knives in their hands were drawn one after another! The flashes of the blades intertwined, forming a huge, impenetrable net of swords!
It swept over Qin Shuyu from above!
This is the combined attack formation that made the Embroidered Uniform Guard famous—"Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap"!
Once this formation is activated, let alone a martial artist who has acquired skills, even a master-level expert would not be able to escape easily once trapped inside!
It looked like the deadly net of blades was about to completely engulf Qin Shuyu!
Qin Shuyu's stunningly beautiful face showed no sign of panic; her eyes remained cold and resolute.
She slowly closed her eyes, immersing all her attention in the Autumn Water Sword in her hand.
She could feel the sword trembling slightly, as if it were excited, or as if it were yearning.
Craving blood!
A thirst for killing!
At that moment, she seemed to forget herself and everything around her.
In her world, only the sword in her hand remained!
And that mysterious sword technique etched deep within her soul!
"Whoosh!"
She moved.
The plot is heating up: Update! Come and check it out!
The "Autumn Water Sword" in his hand drew a simple yet profound trajectory in mid-air!
There was no earth-shattering momentum, nor dazzling sword light.
With just a simple sword strike, he met the massive net of blades that descended upon him!
However, this seemingly ordinary sword strike caused the expressions of all the Imperial Guards who were forming a battle formation to change drastically at the same time!
Because they were horrified to discover!
The knife in my hand suddenly wouldn't obey my commands!
They clearly intended to trap and strangle their opponent with the net of knives!
But their knives seemed to be drawn by an invisible force, uncontrollably slashing fiercely at their companions!
"Ding! Ding! Dong! Dong!"
A series of intense metallic clangs resounded through the sky!
The Jinyiwei's once flawless "Heavenly Net" formation collapsed instantly at this moment!
They started killing each other!
The whole scene instantly descended into chaos!
"Pfft! Pfft!"
Screams of agony rose and fell!
One after another, Imperial Guards fell to the blades of their own comrades!
Blood stained their flying fox robes and their incredulous eyes!
What... what on earth is going on?!
They were clearly attacking that woman!
Why would he attack his own brother?!
What kind of sorcery is this?!
Even Shen Lian, who was watching from the sidelines, was completely dumbfounded!
He stared in horror at the white-clad woman who still stood with her eyes closed and sword in hand, his heart filled with a storm a hundred times more turbulent than before!
"This...this is...'Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Jade'?!" he exclaimed in disbelief!
"Transplanting Flowers and Grafting Jade"!
This is the signature martial art of the Yihua Palace!
It is a peerless martial art comparable to Shaolin's Yi Jin Jing, Wudang's Tai Chi Chuan, and the Beggars' Sect's Eighteen Subduing Dragon Palms!
This technique is the most unpredictable and mysterious!
It can redirect and reflect enemy attacks back intact!
Let the enemies kill each other!
But... wasn't this divine skill lost long ago with the disappearance of the Flower Shifting Palace?!
Why did this happen to this woman?!
Who exactly is she?!
What is her connection to the Yihua Palace?!
Is it...
A chilling guess suddenly popped into Shen Lian's mind.
Could it be that Yang Qian, the mysterious master of the "Yang Mansion," and this woman who knows the "Transplanting Flowers and Jade" technique, are not just some江湖草莽 (jianghu caomang, meaning rough and unruly people from the martial arts world), but rather the successors of the mysterious sect that disappeared nearly twenty years ago—the Transplanting Flower Palace?!
If that's the case... then things could get really complicated!
Although the Yihua Palace acted mysteriously and was both righteous and evil in the past, its immense and terrifying strength was beyond doubt!
Even the Embroidered Uniform Guard and the entire Ming Dynasty court had to think twice before facing this behemoth!
"Stop!! All of you, stop right now!!"
Shen Lian dared not hesitate any longer and immediately roared!
He can no longer send his men to their deaths!
If the fighting continues, his dozens of elite men will likely be wiped out here!
Those Imperial Guards who were still killing each other felt as if they had been granted a pardon when they heard his order!
One by one, they desperately sheathed their knives and scrambled to the side.
Their faces were filled with lingering fear and terror!
Looking at the dozen or so corpses of their companions on the ground, and then at the white-clad woman who still stood with her sword in hand, her clothes perfectly straight, their eyes no longer held the arrogance and disdain of before, but were filled with deep fear!
Qin Shuyu slowly opened her eyes.
As she looked at the bloody scene before her, at the Imperial Guards lying in pools of blood, her pretty face turned pale instantly, her stomach churned, and she vomited with a "whoosh".
Although she created an incredible miracle with her mysterious swordsmanship and the concept of "man and sword as one," she was ultimately just an ordinary, kind-hearted woman.
It was the first time she had killed so many people, and she simply couldn't handle it psychologically.
"Sister-in-law!"
Just then, a voice filled with heartache and worry came from behind her.
Immediately afterwards, a warm and strong embrace held her tightly.
It's Yang Qian!
He's finally out!
