Chapter 2012: You Reap What You’ve Sown

As for Qiu Honglei, the Yin Yang Path Master wasn’t worried about her at all. He wasn’t as stupid as Elder Xi. Using the previous example as a lesson, he wouldn’t underestimate his opponent again. Furthermore, his cultivation was much higher than Elder Xi’s. Elder Xi was only half a step into the grandmaster rank, while he had already been at the grandmaster rank for many years. As such, if Qiu Honglei still wanted to protect this imposter, he wouldn’t mind just crippling her here.

Hmph, she refuses to live as a happy daughter-in-law. Then in that case, I’ll turn her into my own slave!

This woman is quite pretty. I was going to look for a chance after letting her marry my son first, but it seems I don’t have to share her with my son anymore.

As if she could read the evil thoughts in his eyes, Qiu Honglei was furious. With a swing of her hand, she brought out the Moon Demon Blade and said, “This junior will request some pointers from senior then!”

After staying around Zu An for so long, she had seen him win from positions of weakness again and again, facing countless opponents at a higher rank than him. That gave her a bit more courage too, making her want to learn from Ah Zu. Of course, she didn’t do so rashly without thinking. Rather, she really had gained a lot of benefits from the secret dungeon this time. Whether in terms of her cultivation or the growth in her mentality and worldview, she now had a fighting chance.

“You’re going to fight against me?” the Yin Yang Path Master replied. He smiled and asked Zu An, “Is the imposter too scared to fight, so you can only make her throw her life away?”

Many people became nervous and cried out, “Sect Master Yun, the saintess is still young. Please help her!”

In their eyes, even though Qiu Honglei’s talent was exceptional, she hadn't even been cultivating for twenty years. Compared to a monster like the Yin Yang Path Master, she was still far off. Earlier, even though she had won against Elder Xi, that was because he had underestimated his enemy. This time, the Yin Yang Path Master definitely wouldn’t make the same mistake.

“Throw her life away?” Zu An replied calmly. “It’s hard to say who will die and who will live just yet.”

He also recognized Qiu Honglei’s current condition. Because she had just won against Elder Xi, she was now br.i.m.m.i.n.g with fighting spirit. If she won here, she would make rapid progress in her cultivation, and her future achievements would be unlimited. How could he not give her such a chance?

“Hahaha! Good, very good!” The Yin Yang Path Master roared with laughter, his voice echoing through the entire hall.

Many people’s expressions changed. They felt their internal energies stir chaotically from the laughter, and even their minds became dizzy.

As expected of one of the four overlords, Fang Zhonghe’s cultivation is truly shocking.

He’s using this laughter on purpose to break down the saintess’ wits and fighting spirit. Using this kind of method against a junior really is shameless.

Li Feiqing endured the strong feeling of disgust and urgently shouted, “Saintess, you can’t win against him! Just let Sect Master Yun fight!”

When she sensed his urgency and concern, Qiu Honglei nodded slightly toward him and said, “Thank you, brother Li, but I know what I'm doing.”

At this point, who knew how many people had already betrayed her master? Li Feiqing was a rare individual who stood by their side, so she naturally couldn't treat him rudely.

As he listened to their conversation, Fang Long was furious. He couldn't help but remark, “Mister Li, don’t you know that bootlickers never meet good ends? Look at how much you’re licking! Honglei will at most show you a smile; do you think she’ll actually like you? And yet look at you, you have no regard left for your own prospects and life! How laughable!”

Li Feiqing’s expression stiffened as he said, “Fang Long, you don’t understand what love is at all. When you like someone, it isn’t about obtaining her, but rather wis.h.i.+ng her a lifetime of happiness. As for your reputation, everyone inside and outside the sect knows what kind of person you are. They all know what kind of sc.u.mmy life you live. Why would I ever want the saintess to marry you and live a life of suffering?”

“You deceive others and yourself. These are nothing more than words of the defeated. You can just watch what kind of happiness the saintess and I will share!” Fang Long retorted mockingly.

“Shut your mouth!” the Yin Yang Path Master snapped, his expression turning rather unpleasant.

Just what kind of situation were they in now? And yet this brat was still fighting over his love rival! He had no awareness of the situation at all! More importantly, his earlier laughter that had been meant as a show of strength now seemed like a complete joke. How could he continue laughing?

He could only say to Qiu Honglei, “Martial niece, you may go first. I’ll give you three moves, or else others might blame me for bullying the weak.”

Qiu Honglei replied with a smile, “Didn’t you already make the first move on your own just now?”

Many people gasped at what she said. Strictly speaking, Fang Zhonghe's laughter was an attack, and yet he was now saying these kinds of words. He really was two-faced!

No matter how thick the Yin Yang Path Master’s skin was, he was still so embarra.s.sed that his toes almost bore through the floor.

In that instant, Qiu Honglei suddenly moved. Light erupted in her hand, and a string of light spheres fired at the Yin Yang Path Master. There were some that moved slowly and others that moved quickly, so if one tried to dodge, they’d easily make a mistake. They’d lose the initiative, and what awaited them then would be a vicious storm of attacks. In the past, during Violet Mountain’s great compet.i.tion, this attack of hers had left many opponents in a tough situation.

The Yin Yang Path Master said with a sneer, “Hmph, just some small tricks!”

As someone who was also in the Devil Sect, he naturally knew how this attack worked. As such, he didn’t try to avoid it and instead swept out his sleeves. The spheres of light were all swept away, and vanished. Seeing as he would risk revealing an opening if he tried to avoid them, he'd decided to just defeat the move with sheer force.

Li Feiqing and the others sighed in pity. The difference was just too great; this wasn’t a battle that could even be won in the first place...

Suddenly, a burst of strong light flickered. Many young disciples reflexively closed their eyes. Even elder-level figures couldn't help but narrow their eyes. They suddenly realized that all of this was part of the saintess’ strategy. She knew that the bullets of light couldn't win against the Yin Yang Path Master, so she'd prepared a follow-up attack.

“This is your second move,” the Yin Yang Path Master said as he closed his eyes and sent his palm slamming toward one side, forcing Qiu Honglei’s body back. He continued, “You know nothing about the grandmaster rank. At our level, even if our eyes are closed, we can still sense even a blade’s movements on the breeze.”

“Be careful!” Lu Sanyuan immediately warned him.

The Yin Yang Path Master was stunned. Suddenly, the s.p.a.ce behind him split open, revealing a flickering sea of stars. It was as if a corner of the cosmos had been exposed. Immediately after, a ma.s.sive blade shot out from that rift. A few with more profound cultivations immediately realized that it was a magnified version of the Moon Demon Blade.

The Yin Yang Path Master immediately became vigilant. He quickly turned around to protect himself. His sleeves swelled up like b.a.l.l.s to block the attack.

Boom!

A terrifying ripple rushed in all directions. The tables and chairs in the hall were overturned, and the young disciples were all blown backward, ending up in a sorry state. The entire hall began to rock back and forth intensely. The runes protecting the place flickered intensely, barely keeping it together and preventing it from collapsing.

Qiu Honglei kicked off the ground with her feet, gracefully leaping out of the fighting ring, then cupped her hands toward her opponent and said, “Path Master Fang, you let me win!”

The smoke and dust settled. The onlookers now saw that Fang Zhonghe’s sleeves had already been ripped. Even though there were no wounds on his arms, a young junior had managed to ruin his sleeves. To a certain extent, that was already a loss.

Qiu Honglei sighed in relief. She actually knew that there was quite a large difference between her own strength and the Yin Yang Path Master’s. If it were a fair fight, there was no chance for her to win at all. That was why she had deliberately angered him, then used some pretty, but useless tactics against this true expert. When her opponent lowered her guard, that was when she could deal her killing blow.

However, that so-called killing blow was also just a ruse. She'd already known that there was no chance of her killing the opponent. As such, she had only pretended to unleash all of her killing intent to make him think that she wanted to kill him. That way, he wouldn’t bother with keeping his sleeves intact and would reflexively focus on protecting his body. That was where her opportunity lay. She had then used the Moon Demon Blades’ sharpness and Nebula Rend’s power to destroy his sleeves.

Then, she ad immediately used those words to put him in an awkward position. Too many people were watching, and she could be considered to have won. The opponent was a glorious path master, after all, so there was no way he would insist on continuing this compet.i.tion.

The Freedom Path Master Hua Feihua couldn't help but laugh loudly, remarking, “As expected, the younger generations will surpa.s.s us in time!”

The World School Master Chen Taogong also stroked his round face and said while nodding, “The saintess’ strength is indeed impressive and admirable.”

Qiu Honglei’s admirers were cheering even louder. Many people shouted ‘Saintess, I love you’.

Fang Zhonghe began breathing quickly. He knew fully well that he had already fallen for the saintess’ ploy. His face flickered between green and red.

However, he suddenly roared in anger, “This match isn’t over! When did we decide victory and defeat?” As soon as he spoke, he instantly threw himself at Qiu Honglei.

Everyone in the surroundings cursed loudly.

“Fang Zhonghe, do you have no sense of shame?!”

“Dogs.h.i.+t overlord, can you not take a loss?”

“Hurry and save the saintess!”

...

Unfortunately, they were too far away to help her, and the ones who could help her had too many misgivings. They could only watch as Fang Zhonghe got closer and closer to Qiu Honglei. His palm flickered with a mysterious pink color. This was the ultimate skill he was proudest of: The Ninefold Palm!

This was a palm that had been soaked in countless drugs over many decades. His palm had absorbed their medicinal strength, then refined them nine times; in the end, they combined to form this attack! His palm represented the pinnacle of aphrodisiac drugs in this world. If one were to be hit by it, it would immediately activate one’s desire and turn them into a beast. It was especially effective against women.

He was now just fighting out of pure anger. He had already made up his mind to make her suffer a complete defeat, to make her fall from grace.

Hmph, what saintess? I’m going to turn you into a b.i.t.c.h in front of everyone’s eyes. Let’s see if there’ll still be so many people who want to follow you!

Qiu Honglei’s expression changed. She hadn’t expected Fang Zhonghe to be so shameless. He was actually going to do something like this in front of everyone!

Even though she didn’t know the name of the attack, she could guess a thing or two from the pink light. She reflexively backed up, because she knew she absolutely couldn't let that palm touch her. Unfortunately, he was too fast and she couldn't avoid it at all.

Suddenly, Zu An said from behind her, “Don’t be scared. Give him a palm right back.”

Qiu Honglei was stunned. She instinctively wanted to avoid her opponent’s palm, but in the end, she chose to trust her lover.

When he saw that Qiu Honglei actually reached out her small, tender white hand toward him, Fang Zhonghe sneered.

This stupid la.s.s really doesn’t want to live any longer!

An incredibly powerful palm force suddenly rushed forth. At first, he had felt that Qiu Honglei’s palm strength was just like a brook, while his was a great river that could easily swallow her up. But compared to that palm, he now felt as if he were facing an ocean, one that was vast and limitless! He could feel the pink energy around his palm being forced right back, instantly surrounding his entire body. He screamed miserably and flew backward, slamming into the ground.

Nearby, Fang Long immediately rushed over to support him, asking, “Father, what’s wrong?”

However, who would have thought that Fang Zhonghe’s eyes would be filled with a berserk pink aura? He grabbed Fang Long and pressed him down onto the ground, crying out, “Hurry and give it to me, I want it!”

Everyone present was filled with confusion.
