Slaying Demons: Starting with Upgrading my Calligraphy-Chapter 498 - 437: I Want to Challenge Him One-on-One! (Part 2)
If a message was left a second ago, but danger strikes the next second, whether one can last an entire day to message for help is uncertain.
But having something is better than nothing...
"Tomboy, a few people have been sent to protect you. Why not come with me?"
Putting away the Mind Sensing Spirit Plaque, Daoist Yunxiong glanced at the Profound Heart Four Extreme True Monarch in front of him.
"Don’t worry, Daoist, the old Sect Master instructed us before setting off, even if my brother and I lose our lives, we must protect Miss Chu.
We won’t let her suffer even a scratch."
While speaking, two identical twins walked over, both dressed in short-sleeved long coats, wearing straw sandals, pants rolled up to the knees, and topped with a tattered straw hat.
"Dao Alliance hired you two to protect the tomboy? Must have cost quite a bit."
Glancing at the twins, Daoist Yunxiong smiled, the concern in his eyes dissipating, seemingly trusting their abilities in protection.
"Straw hat, long coat, rolled-up pants and straw sandals? Liu, these two are powers from the Shifting Thousand Miles Sect, aren’t they?"
Qi Xiu curiously asked Liu Tai beside him.
"Yes, that’s them. No one else in the cultivation world prefers to dress like beggars." Liu Tai nodded.
"Hey, what are you saying? We’re being simple, how’s that like beggars?" Hearing Liu Tai’s words, the twins lifted their eyelids and immediately retorted.
"Yes, yes, you’re not beggars.
You’re debt collectors.
Who doesn’t know that Shifting Thousand Miles Sect is famously stingy?
Stopping to protect Miss Chu will earn you quite a lot this time."
Knowing the Shifting Thousand Miles Sect’s disciples well, Liu Tai crossed his arms and scoffed a few times.
"Hehehe, a little profit, a little profit. After all, Southern Ming Wasteland is not like other places; we also bear great risks."
Upon hearing profits, the twins chuckled repeatedly, their slender eyes almost gleaming.
Shifting Thousand Miles Sect... truly lives up to its reputation.
Looking at the twins in front of him, Qi Xiu couldn’t help but chuckle.
Shifting Thousand Miles Sect.
One of Jiangnan Province’s Ten Great Sects.
Also jokingly called the Errand Sect by many cultivators.
Their cultivators are extremely adept in escape skill, incredibly fast, claiming they can traverse the Twelve Great Provinces within a day.
Thus, they prefer to take on assignments like delivering items or protecting personnel daily.
Qi Xiu had heard of this sect before.
It’s said that protection tasks handled by Shifting Thousand Miles Sect have never failed, and their method is straightforward.
Taking the person they protect around Great Xuan Realm, being in Jiangnan Province one hour, and Qinlong Province the next, leaving no clue where the target is.
Besides their exceptional escape skill, Shifting Thousand Miles Sect’s cultivators also master a secret technique to obscure fate interpretation.
With such outstanding task completion, their hiring prices have skyrocketed to a staggering level.
Which is why Liu Tai first called them beggars, then debt collectors.
The Profound Heart Four Extreme True Monarch is the liaison for this mission, critical moments should connect with the Dao Alliance within the Great Xuan Realm through her.
So the Dao Alliance invested greatly, directly hiring two True Monarchs of Shifting Thousand Miles Sect’s Dao Body to protect her, preventing any accident.
"Tomboy’s protection falls to you both, it’s indeed better—though Shifting Thousand Miles Sect has never failed, this old Daoist must remind you two.
This girl is Old Man Tianxin’s cherished one; if anything goes wrong, your sect will have no peaceful days."
Seeing Shifting Thousand Miles Sect’s True Monarchs protecting, Daoist Yunxiong showed a hint of relief.
But he still reminded the twins a bit.
"Rest assured, Daoist, since we accepted the commission, Shifting Thousand Miles Sect will exert utmost effort, ensuring not a single harm comes to the Profound Heart Four Extreme True Monarch."
Nodding solemnly, the twins thumped their chests.
Feeling a little helpless by those present, Profound Heart Four Extreme True Monarch rolled her eyes:
"Everyone, I am a True Monarch of the Dao Body, not as weak as you say."
Once said, those present showed peculiar expressions, quietly glanced, and gave fake smiles without saying anything.
Wannian Guixin Sect!
Not an ancient nor a prestigious sect, purely a new model sect.
But the Daoist inheritance they carry is extremely formidable.
However, this formidability does not lie in magical combat and killing.
If it really comes to a fight, this Profound Heart Four Extreme True Monarch before us would undoubtedly be at the bottom among the hundreds of Dao Experts present.
Truly a weakling in battle.
Feeling the unspoken gazes from the crowd, Chu Xinyi couldn’t help but clench her fists, looking indignant:
"I’m still a True Monarch who has attained the Dao for six hundred years, embodied the Dao twice, not as weak as you all say.
You!
The one who just looked at me, come out for a duel, I want them to see that I’m not as weak as they think."
"Ah? Me?"
Surprised to see Chu Xinyi pointing at him, Qi Xiu looked bewildered, turning to glance at his master.
"Absolutely not."
Noticing the pleading look from his disciple, Daoist Yunxiong chuckled and raised his hand to dissuade.
"Don’t worry, Daoist. I have control, I won’t hurt him," Chu Xinyi said, full of confidence.
The secret technique of the Wannian Guixin Sect allowed her to see at a glance that this young Daoist before her had only embodied the Dao once.
And she had embodied the Dao twice, even if the Wannian Guixin Sect was not good at combat.
But the realm suppression could make up for it all.
"You misunderstand, I’m afraid he won’t control his strength well and will kill you with a single palm." With a helpless expression, Daoist Yunxiong slowly shook his head.
This girl really knows how to pick.
She picked the strongest one.
"Kill me with a single palm?"
Incredulous, Chu Xinyi turned to the twins next to her:
"He can kill me with a single palm?"
Cast a glance at the bewildered Qi Xiu, the twins’ eyes flickered with a touch of divine marvel, and moments later their eyes widened:
"Maybe..."
"It won’t even take a single palm."
As these words fell, Chu Xinyi instantly fell silent, wearily waved her hand: "Alright, I get it, you guys go, let me be alone."
Watching the desolate Chu Xinyi, the few also helplessly spread their hands and exchanged wry smiles.
...
At this moment, on the other end of the Southern Ming Wasteland.
A massive dreadnought forged entirely from countless corpses and flesh slowly sailed through the sea waters.
This terrifying dreadnought’s towering sails seemed to be the skin of some giant creature, with ancient cold lines flowing across it like they were intimidating something. The mast was a pitch-black spine crawling with fleshly tendrils, with numerous writhing eyeballs growing on it, constantly surveying the surroundings.
Filled with a cold and filthy aura, the fleshly dreadnought had figures exuding terrifying demonic aura and shadowy presences standing heavily on the deck.
Scarlet eyes like blood glowed with an eerie light that made one’s scalp tingle in the darkness.
"Damn, after drifting for so long, we finally bloody arrived."
"The Southern Ming Wasteland... what a place."
"Dock this damn stinking ship already, I can’t stand staying another minute."
"Then jump off if you can’t stand it, whining here, say one more word and I’ll eat you alive."
"Screw your mother, have the guts to say it again."
"Say it I shall, do I fear you?!"
Compared to the orderly Human Race, this corpse dreadnought was full of chaos, with these forcibly gathered Demon Kings and Lords all proud figures on normal days.
Now trapped on the ship for over two months, the evil fire in their hearts was about to spew from their seven orifices.
All the pent-up frustration now seemed on the verge of bursting, ready for an internal conflict.
"Enough! Don’t forget what we came here for, are you planning to fight among yourselves first before seeing the Human Race?"
A sudden sharp rebuke came from the top of the mast.
Upon hearing this rebuke, the rebellious Demon Kings and Demon Lords unexpectedly stopped, despite still gnashing their teeth and cursing quietly, dared not to make any further moves.
Retracting her gaze from the Demon Kings and Lords below, the sword-wielding woman’s eyes looked out, slowly reflecting this perilous Life Forbidden Zone in her pupils.
