Demonic Calamity Across the Heavens: Starting with Little Li's Flying Dagger

Chapter 68 Resolving Future Troubles, the Demonic Cult Princess

With a white silk ribbon wrapped around his neck, Shangguan Fei's dagger fell to the ground, and he was suddenly hung from a tree trunk. Even though his fingers managed to catch the ribbon in time, he was still dizzy from the pulling.

Just as he was about to resist, the woman behind the tree immediately increased her strength.

Answer me!

Shangguan Fei felt as if his neck was about to break, and two lines of tears flowed down his face as he struggled to explain what had happened that day.

When Wei Wu arrived here, this was the scene he witnessed.

He hid in the woods with great interest—no matter how useless Shangguan Fei was, with Shangguan Jin Hong's careful guidance, his martial arts skills were enough to reach the top level in the martial arts world. He was so easily subdued, so the one who did it must have been either a member of the older generation or a top performer among the younger generation who was no less skilled than Jing Wuming and others.

Wei Wu was already quite talented in martial arts, and his lightness skill was also excellent. He went around to the back of the tree, found a tree branch to sit on, and pushed aside the leaves with his hand. He immediately saw the woman behind the tree.

He could only see his side profile.

Behind the tree stood a "white jade Guanyin statue" with long, flowing hair. Her black hair cascaded down like a waterfall, still damp with moisture. Droplets of water fell onto her white silk undergarment, the wet parts clinging to the curves of her body, the translucent fabric highlighting her fair skin.

The white jade Guanyin has long hair that reaches her waist. A section of the white silk sash around her waist is hastily wrapped around her waist, while another section is wrapped around the tree and hangs on Shangguan Fei. A white silk is wrapped around her slender arms, and one foot is braced against the tree. The draped gauze skirt cannot cover her fair thighs.

Wei Wu's gaze fell on the small foot stepping on the tree trunk. The toes were as green as jade, pressed firmly against the tree trunk, the taut calf was straight, and a thin veil was pasted on the snow-white thigh.

As the wind blew, the light gauze swayed. Just as the thin gauze was about to slip back to the bottom, the maidservant who served the woman stepped forward and draped a thick purple velvet cloak over her. Two other maidservants took the white silk and used all their strength to bind her so tightly that Shangguan Fei's eyes rolled back, and her legs were like a rabbit kicking an eagle, constantly sticking to the tree trunk.

The "DuangDuang" sound startled countless birds in the forest. At this moment, the woman changed her inner clothes, wrapped herself in a cloak, and sat on a large chair behind a tree. Her maids combed her hair, and at the same time, she raised her hand to have Shangguan Fei put down.

As soon as Shangguan Fei fell to the ground, he immediately reached out and tore off the white silk around his neck. While coughing incessantly, he touched the dagger in his hand and looked around with resentment in his eyes. Suddenly, he caught sight of a corner at the edge of the forest, and his whole body froze instantly.

Wei Wu had somehow climbed down from the tree and was leaning against the trunk with his arms crossed, looking over with a smile. When he saw that Shangguan Fei had noticed him, he tossed two steel rings out from his sleeve.

It was clearly a "trophy" he had casually picked up as he passed by Shangguan Jin Hong.

Gang Huan landed firmly in front of Shangguan Fei, splashing dirt onto his face, making his already purplish complexion even worse. He was trembling uncontrollably, his straight back now hunched over as he stared blankly at Gang Huan.

"Ugh! Ugh!"

Shangguan Fei suddenly began to retch. He pounded his chest with one hand, dropped the dagger with the other, and reached for the steel ring. When he grasped the still-warm part of the ring, he stopped retching, but tears blurred his vision. He lowered his head and placed the steel ring in his arms. "My father, he..."

"He's dead."

Wei Wu did not belittle it in the slightest; on the contrary, he praised it highly, saying, "The 'Mother and Child' Dragon and Phoenix Rings truly deserve to be ranked second on the Weapon Ranking."

There are countless hidden weapon techniques in the martial arts world that alternate between overt and covert, but only one in the world can complement each other like the Mother-and-Child Dragon and Phoenix Rings, with each complementing the other in its own way.

If Wei Wu hadn't incorporated the Dragon and Phoenix Rings' mother-child technique into the Immortal-Slaying Flying Knife, Shangguan Jin Hong would have already blocked the first strike!

Hearing Wei Wu's words, Shangguan Fei forced a smile. He staggered to his feet, the dragon and phoenix rings already wrapped around his wrists. Wiping away his tears with the back of his hand, he ignored the demonic sect guards and stared intently in Wei Wu's direction.

"Are you here to kill me?"

"Of course, we should press on with our remaining strength and not be like Xiang Yu who sought fame but failed. Although your talent is not great and your martial arts are so-so, you are still a hidden danger if you don't die."

"Looks like I have no choice," Shangguan Fei licked his chapped lips, tapped the steel ring in his hand, and said, "'Dragon and Phoenix Rings,' Shangguan Fei, please enlighten me!"

Just as he got into position, a cold, arrogant voice rang out from behind the tree:

"Who said you didn't have a choice?"

"Since you are Shangguan Jin Hong's son, you are qualified. As long as you kneel down and say you want to join the Holy Sect and offer the Dragon and Phoenix Ring Technique, the Holy Sect will naturally save your life."

Footsteps sounded from behind the tree.

The demonic cult guards surrounding the tree instantly parted to make way.

Four maids in white dresses led the way, carrying the palanquin in pairs. Light gauze draped over the palanquin, revealing only a glimpse of a graceful figure reclining inside.

The reclining beauty peered at Wei Wu through the thin veil. Seeing his flirtatious posture and undeniably attractive physique, she reached out and parted the veil. When her gaze fell upon Wei Wu's bare upper body, a look of surprise crossed her face. "You're the Wei Wu who practices the Iron-Chewing Technique? But your physique…"

The reason why the Iron-Chewing Technique is called a demonic art is because the side effects of practicing this martial art are extremely strong. Once you start consuming those foreign objects, no matter how strong your body becomes, some of the foreign objects will always remain in your body, causing the practitioner's body shape to change drastically and become uncontrollably obese.

Most cultivators suffered backlash, either dying in agony or turning into monsters. Even the Great Joyful Bodhisattva, who had achieved the highest level of cultivation, could not avoid these flaws.

Some people have said that if one can master the "Great Joy of Heaven and Earth Yin and Yang" to its fullest extent, one can absorb the true energy of dual cultivation to make up for the shortcomings of this technique. However, even the "Love and Desire King" Jade Flute Daoist, who has a deep understanding of this technique, does not dare to say that he can practice the Iron-Chewing Technique.

Therefore, when the Holy Maiden saw Wei Wu's upright appearance and strong physique, her first impression was strange, but her second glance made her unable to look away.

She boldly lifted the veil, stared directly at Wei Wu, and continued, "You really don't look like someone who practices the Iron-Chewing Technique at all."

"You're not like a woman at all."

Wei Wu made no attempt to conceal his true intentions.

Why would a man be afraid of being seen by others?

It's not like you're walking a bird under the moon!

We can just bury them all.

The saint chuckled, "Does that mean only you men are allowed to look at women, but we women aren't allowed to look at men?"

"There is a fair way to do things in this world. Men can look at women, and women can look at men. But it's unfair that I let you look at me for free while you won't let me see even a little bit."

"How dare you!"

"presumptuous!"

"Arrogant!"

The demonic cult guards stepped forward in unison, drawing their swords in a fierce glare and shouting in unison.

Shangguan Fei's eyes darted around quickly, and he stood with them as if they shared the same hatred. Judging from his position at the front, it was unclear whether he wanted to charge ahead or create distance to escape.

But Wei Wu didn't give him that chance at all. With a flick of his hand, he sent a tree branch flying, which whistled and pierced through his neck, which was already red from being strangled.

Having eliminated any future trouble, Wei Wu then looked at the beautiful woman in the palanquin, "My name is Wei Wu, what is your name?"

"The Holy Sect's Eldest Princess, Hua Baifeng!"
