Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 182: Never Retreat

On the other side, the vibrant begonias flew towards Chang Zhenzi. He laughed dismissively and reached out to catch them, only to see the begonia burrow into his arm.

Soon, his right arm was covered with begonia flowers.

Huh?

Chang Zhenzi lifted his right hand, looking at the bright flowers all over it, with a puzzled expression.

Then, that puzzlement turned into shock and fear.

Because he saw his right hand, from fingers to wrist to arm, slowly turn to dust!

Eventually, his right arm disappeared, and blood gushed from the severed limb like a fountain.

Ah!!

Chang Zhenzi screamed miserably.

"Ah!!"

From the side came a similarly wretched scream, as Changyunzi stared in shock at his left arm severed at the shoulder, with blood spurting from the wound.

At this moment, the lotus leaf that had severed his arm floated gently, finally dissipating slowly.

"This, this is..."

Fear appeared on Changyunzi’s face:

"Tanglian Technique?"

He certainly had no right to witness the Tanglian Technique firsthand, but with the Chang Family’s hundreds of years of heritage, there were records of various cultivation techniques in the family’s collection.

Among them was the renowned Tanglian Technique of the Cyan Lotus Sect.

Changyunzi had read the family records: The Tanglian Technique manifests begonia and lotus flowers, the begonia turns touched objects to dust, the lotus petals scatter, slicing everything around.

What he saw now, the begonia shattering the fifth brother’s right arm, the lotus leaf severing his left arm, was very similar to the records.

As to why it was a lotus leaf and not a lotus flower, Changyunzi speculated that the technique’s level was insufficient, able only to use the leaf instead of the flower.

Otherwise, the two brothers might already have been dismembered by the lotus petals.

"Is this girl really a Demon Sect remnant?!"

Changyunzi was horrified, quickly taking out pills to stop the bleeding for himself and Chang Zhenzi.

Chang Zhenzi pointed at his vanished right arm, tears streaming down his face.

Changyunzi looked at the still-calm pond and said in a deep voice:

"Fifth brother, the girl’s spiritual power should be depleted. Watch for my signal!"

Then he shouted toward the pond: "Little girl, I didn’t think you were a Demon Sect member. Your Demon Sect commits atrocities unforgivable by the world. Even if we kill you, we’re only acting on behalf of heaven!"

Splash!

The water surface of the pond broke open, and Fang Xue leapt out, facing Changyunzi and Chang Zhenzi across the courtyard.

Her water-green dress was drenched, her hair disheveled, and a trace of blood at her mouth, looking rather battered.

Clearly, she had been significantly injured as well.

She raised her hand to wipe away the blood at the corner of her mouth, her voice still clear:

"Demon Sect kills, the Righteous Path also kills; there’s no difference between them. You’re not acting on behalf of heaven, just covering up your own evil deeds."

Changyunzi was taken aback, then burst into laughter:

"A Zhenyang Sect disciple would say such a thing, truly a Demon Sect remnant. Fifth brother, attack!"

Chang Zhenzi roared angrily, charging toward Fang Xue, his eyes filled with hatred, swinging his left fist at the delicate girl.

Fang Xue, already injured, barely managed to use the Tanglian Technique earlier, now was at her limit, forced to retreat.

Soon she was driven out of the courtyard, through the garden, finally retreating to the inner hall entrance.

Behind her were Third Senior Sister, Sister Qiu, and Uncle Qin, Fang Xue dared not retreat further, she raised the light curtain again, blocking Chang Zhenzi’s attack.

Chang Zhenzi attacked furiously, while Fang Xue stood her ground, struggling to hold on.

"There’s someone in the inner hall!"

Changyunzi squinted, sneering:

"Sure enough, Qin Gengyun is hiding in there! Fifth brother, leave this little girl to me, go kill Qin Gengyun’s entire family!"

Chang Zhenzi cackled twice, about to bypass Fang Xue, but she forced him back with a swing of her sword.

The next moment, a begonia and a lotus leaf appeared in Fang Xue’s hand again.

Chang Zhenzi’s face showed a terrified expression and he immediately retreated. Changyunzi placed his right hand behind his back, secretly making a move, but his voice became amiable:

"This fellow Daoist, at such a young age, you have mastered the supreme skills of Zhenyang Sect and the Cyan Lotus Sect to such an extent. Your future is limitless. Why sacrifice your life for unrelated people?"

Blood once again dripped from Fang Xue’s mouth. She could only use the Tanglian Technique once at the most. If she used it again, her meridians would shatter, and she would die.

But the begonia and lotus leaf in her palm remained vibrant and green, exuding a murderous aura. Upon hearing Changyunzi’s words, her voice was crisp:

"The people inside have all done me kindness. I will absolutely not let you harm them!"

After saying that, she spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

Changyunzi chuckled and said, "Your spiritual power is no longer sufficient to perform the Tanglian Technique again. Step aside, and today I will only kill Qin Gengyun and his family, and let you leave."

Fang Xue shook her head and continued to stand in front of the main hall’s gate.

Changyunzi snorted coldly, "Fifth one!"

Chang Zhenzi was quite fearful of the begonia and lotus leaf in Fang Xue’s palm, but he still obeyed his brother’s words and charged forward with a punch.

Fang Xue gritted her teeth, about to release the begonia and lotus leaf in her hand, when suddenly, black mist surged around them, emitting a foul stench that penetrated Fang Xue’s seven orifices.

"Ah..."

Fang Xue exclaimed in shock, unable to gather her spiritual power, and the begonia and lotus leaf in her palm instantly dissipated.

At this moment, Chang Zhenzi’s fist had arrived, striking her squarely, causing her petite body to fly backward, blood scattering in the air!

A moment later, she crashed to the ground. Her aqua-green long dress was tattered, and her pure, gentle face was bruised and swollen, extremely miserable.

"Hahaha, what a fledgling, did you think I truly wanted a discourse with you earlier?"

Changyunzi burst into laughter, pointing at the mass of black mist, saying:

"I merely needed time to silently set up this ’Blood Mist Array.’ This array is highly toxic, even a Tier 9 Qi Cultivator would be paralyzed upon inhaling it, unable to concentrate their spiritual power."

This "Blood Mist Array" was Changyunzi’s killing move. Cultivators below Foundation Establishment would find their spiritual power dispersed and lose any ability to resist upon inhaling it.

Changyunzi had made preparations in advance and, along with Chang Zhenzi, had already taken the antidote before coming to the Qin Family.

Chang Zhenzi pointed at the fallen Fang Xue on the ground, laughing maniacally, seemingly unwilling to let her go.

Changyunzi said, "This young girl is entangled with both Zhenyang Sect and the Demon Sect. Killing her might bring trouble. Today, we first kill Qin Gengyun."

With that, he and Chang Zhenzi headed toward the inner hall.

However, their steps suddenly halted.

They saw that delicate figure slowly stand up again, blocking the main gate of the inner hall.

Changyunzi was astonished, "You can still stand? Young girl, achieving such cultivation at your age is not easy. Step aside, I promise not to kill you today."

Fang Xue, with disheveled hair and tattered clothes, had lost all semblance of the sect’s fairy demeanor.

She raised her head, her clear eyes reddened, like a wounded young beast, struggling to open her mouth, her white teeth also stained with blood.

"I... won’t step back."

Changyunzi frowned and nodded toward Chang Zhenzi. The burly giant swung his fist, striking Fang Xue’s delicate body with one punch!

Poof!

Fang Xue spat out another mouthful of fresh blood, yet her hands firmly gripped the door frame on both sides.

Chang Zhenzi roared, fists raining down like droplets of rain!

Bang, bang, bang!

That water-green slender body trembled continuously under the blows, as if a sandbag being trampled, blood splattering around like a fountain.

But Fang Xue’s hands still clung tightly to the door frame, not giving an inch.

Chang Zhenzi, exhausted and panting heavily, finally stopped.

On closer look, Fang Xue was covered in blood and dirt, her body twisted with multiple fractures, her pure and pretty face battered beyond recognition, almost unrecognizable as a human shape.

More like a tattered rag.

Even Changyunzi, who had killed countless people and witnessed numerous bloody scenes, was somewhat shocked at this moment. Taking a deep breath, he slowly said:

"Little girl, cultivation is not easy. Why sacrifice your life here for others? Step aside."

The body, beaten into a ragdoll, slightly moved. That face, full of scars, was raised with difficulty. The voice was still clear:

"I... won’t retreat."

Changyunzi’s breathing paused, closed his eyes, and after a moment, opened them, coldly saying:

"Fifth one, kill her."
