Chapter 770: Threat (Please Subscribe)_1

Upon seeing Xu Sheng perfectly use martial technique to block her Sword Shadow Clone, Yun Churan's Beautiful Eyes flickered a few times…
The next moment, she secretly thought, "Profound Grade Top-Tier Martial Technique, Ling Yue!"
As the words settled, her entire aura began to get extremely chaotic, gaining a more ethereal quality…
Then, with an icy expression, she gripped her Ice-Blue Sword and charged towards Xu Sheng at a steady pace…
Xu Sheng, witnessing this, executed Cripple Step with incredible speed and closed in on her first, slashing mercilessly sideways…
Just as it was about to hit, the Tianyu Sword strangely passed through Yun Churan's delicate body, causing not the slightest halt or injury!
Xu Sheng's eyes narrowed, and he exclaimed, "Afterimage??"
With such slow speed, how could an afterimage be cast…
While he pondered, Yun Churan, who had been diving forward, suddenly turned and with a tricky angle stabbed the Ice-Blue Sword towards Xu Sheng's upper body…
Detecting the direction of the incoming whoosh of air, Xu Sheng didn't hesitate to crouch down, narrowly allowing the sword just past his head to cut off a few strands of hair…
Seeing that her strike didn't succeed, Yun Churan attacked once more…
Reading his intent, Xu Sheng thought to himself, "Sword Heart!"
A huge Spiritual Ripple spread out from his center, enveloping everything around him…
Even with his back turned and unable to see Yun Churan, he managed to dodge all her attacks accurately and even counterattacked effectively several times…
But Sword Heart, useful as it was, wasn't invincible. Yun Churan, knowing the technique's weakness, took the chance to create two Spirit Force Fluctuations, completely disrupting Xu Sheng's judgment!
And seizing the moment of his hesitation, she kicked him, sending him flying backward as she coldly shouted, "Rainstorm Strike!"
With a swing of her Personal Sword, the enormous Sword Qi shattered into countless droplets targeting the flying Xu Sheng…
After flying back ten meters and stabilizing his form, Xu Sheng snapped back to reality, quickly sidestepped, and evaded the bombardment…
At first glance, the wall behind him had been pierced with hundreds of wind-whistling holes…
If that had hit a person's body, they'd turn into a sieve leaking blood within minutes!
Xu Sheng's heartbeat quickened as he caught his breath and muttered, "Cough cough… That was close!"
He had nearly been caught off guard!
Meanwhile, Yun Churan, seeing that he had dodged her attack, gave him a deep look with her ice-blue eyes and stated coldly, "One quarter of an hour has passed! I will no longer hold the concealment of cultivation level against you! But let there be no next time! Otherwise, you will be expelled from the sect."
In her heart, she was not as calm as she appeared, genuinely afraid that Xu Sheng wouldn't react in time and would be annihilated by her martial technique!
After all, all his martial techniques were given by her, so she naturally knew all their weaknesses, and Xu Sheng knew nothing about her!
So in terms of combat, she definitely had the advantage!
Xu Sheng bowed with his fist in his palm and respectfully said, "Thank you for the lesson, Master!"
After he spoke, Yun Churan said nothing more, slung the Ice-Blue Sword on her back, and turned to leave…
Once she had left, Yun Cong and the other two, hiding behind cover, all came out…
Yun Cong patted Xu Sheng on the shoulder and said with admiration, "Junior Brother Xu! Well done! Who would have thought you could fight the Master for so long!"
It was more than just a fight, those moves were a matter of life and death! One slip could mean losing your life!
Mu Yun sighed from the side, "Doesn't this mean that our youngest Junior Brother Xu has surpassed us, the older brothers and sisters, in strength!"
```
Yun Cong raised an eyebrow and said, "Go on, go on, go! Isn't it very normal for Junior Brother Xu to surpass us with his talent? Maybe he can even reach that legendary realm, the Void Refining Stage!"
Xu Sheng replied modestly, "The two senior brothers flatter me too much. The master did not use his full strength against me, and as for that Void Refining Stage, I am still far from it!"
Hmm! The only thing missing from reaching the Void Refining Stage is to remove the seal!
Mo Qingyue said softly, "Junior Brother Xu, shall we go back to deepen—cough cough, return to the courtyard first?"
Subconsciously speaking her mind had left her with a deep red blush on her face…
Yun Cong smacked his lips, expressing his envy, "Tsk, tsk, tsk, deepen? Junior Sister Mo, are you wanting to deepen your relationship with Junior Brother Xu?"
Mu Yun glanced at Mo Qingyue, sighing with hands on her hips, "Ai! Although there's nothing wrong with liking Junior Brother Xu, you should still be careful of Senior Sister Gu. They spent a whole night alone together, and if something happened between them..."
Upon hearing these words, Xu Sheng's face suddenly darkened, and he spoke with an ominous tone, "Senior brothers, do I really look like the kind of person who can't move when he sees a woman?"
Yun Cong and Mu Yun looked at each other and said in unison, "You do!"
If it weren't for their peeping which caused them to accidentally barge in, the two might really have become partners by now!
No, perhaps in some time, they'd even have children!
However, the speaker had no intention, but the listener had a mind!
Mo Qingyue's expression gradually became somber on the side...
This Gu Linruo, indeed, made her feel threatened!
...
Atop Miao Miao Peak!
There stood a woman, clad in a fine robe, every move exuding extreme grace. Her beauty was enough to plunge one into the abyss of desire, yet those amber-colored Beautiful Eyes appeared somewhat vacant, clearly deep in thought!
And so, under the illumination of the moonlight, her entire aura was sublimated, as if she was a goddess whom no one dared to defile!
A rather attractive female disciple beside her inquired, "Senior Sister Gu, what are you thinking about?"
Gu Linruo, hearing the voice, shook her head indifferently and said, "It's nothing much, just wondering why Mo Li would attack us."
However, she truly did not care about Mo Li's life or death...
The face of the female disciple beside her showed disgust, "Psh, that Mo Li must have been defeated by Junior Brother Xu in the Five Peaks Tournament and, holding a grudge, wanted to take the chance during the time away from the sect to strike in the dark!"
Suddenly, her tone shifted drastically, as she spoke out, "Ah, the Peak Master asked to see you earlier, and I... I accidentally forgot!"
Gu Linruo was stunned for a moment, softly saying, "No matter, I will go see the Peak Master now!"
As she finished speaking, she leapt from the peak in an elegant manner, akin to a fairy descending from the heavens…
...
Shortly after, she found Ling Luoyan in the grand hall of Miao Miao Peak!
The woman sitting in the main seat, with skin as delicate as a lotus and stunning features, did not seem much older than Gu Linruo in many aspects!
In four words, she could be described as 'charmingly mature'!
Feeling the Spirit Force Fluctuation from Gu Linruo, Ling Luoyan opened those vast and tranquil water-like eyes and softly said, "Lin Ruo, have you arrived?"
