Tie Shou initially watched Yang Feilong with amusement, but now he was filled with terror and shock.
Among his many subordinates, none were at the Golden Core stage. However, for a Golden Core cultivator to slaughter them so easily was not simple. The scene of Yang Feilong controlling nine flying daggers was truly breathtaking!
There were hundreds of people in the great hall, but facing Yang Feilong now, they were like lambs to the slaughter.
No, they looked even more pathetic than lambs awaiting slaughter!
In a single breath, dozens of people were beheaded!
In three breaths, one to two hundred people perished!
"Ah, damn it!" Tie Shou also snapped out of his shock, roared in anger, and summoned a long sword, charging towards Yang Feilong!
A mocking smile played on Yang Feilong's lips. Without pausing his slaughter of the bandits, he summoned a long sword, which slashed through the air towards Tie Shou.
"I am a dignified cultivator at the second level of the Golden Core realm, yet you dare to disregard me so!" Tie Shou roared. Seeing that Yang Feilong, under his frantic assault as a proud Golden Core cultivator, still dared to continue slaughtering his subordinates, he was filled with rage. This was a complete disregard for him, a cultivator at the second level of the Golden Core realm!
Then so be it, I shall cut you down!
All of this happened in an instant. The next moment, the long sword in his hand clashed against the sword that had pierced through the air.
*Boom!*
The mid-grade spiritual artifact sword in his hand was directly severed. Then, the sword's remaining power, undiminished, pierced through his throat!
"You..." The anger in Tie Shou's eyes turned to terror and disbelief. "How can you be so strong?"
The next moment, his head lolled, and he died!
This long sword not only carried terrifying destructive power but also the might to obliterate the soul.
Therefore, Tie Shou struggled for only a single breath before his body and soul were utterly destroyed!
In fact, it was less than a breath!
"A Golden Core realm expert, and at the second level at that, was killed just like that?" Murong Qingxue knew that Yang Feilong's combat power was comparable to the Golden Core realm, and it was rumored he had even killed someone at the third level. However, she had never witnessed it firsthand. Now, seeing this scene unfold before her eyes, how could she not be utterly shaken?
"Husband!" Murong Qiuyue was ecstatic.
Earlier, seeing Yang Feilong simultaneously slaughtering others while controlling a sword to attack Tie Shou, her heart had been in her mouth, worried that Yang Feilong might suffer a disadvantage. After all, such an action was rather audacious. But as it turned out, her man was indeed formidable!
This gave her an urge to plant a kiss on him!
"You're amazing!" Murong Qiuyue couldn't resist any longer and planted a loud kiss on Yang Feilong's cheek.
Yang Feilong's hands almost trembled.
Of course, in this situation, it was a minor issue and did not interrupt his slaughter, which was nearing its end. Not a single bandit who had been standing earlier remained on their feet.
Did they counterattack? Did they passively allow Yang Feilong to kill them? Of course not. They had counterattacked, but it was entirely useless. They couldn't even get close to Yang Feilong.
The cultivators lying on the ground were naturally not all dead. Some with quick wits had fallen down and feigned death!
But the next moment, Yang Feilong engulfed all the corpses with a surge of fire. Immediately, three 'corpses' came to life, leaped up, and began to scream, their cries truly chilling to the bone.
Soon, the screams abruptly ceased.
In the great hall, besides the three of them, there was one more woman.
This woman was the one Tie Shou had embraced earlier, feeding her grapes.
At this moment, the woman was trembling uncontrollably. She was a beauty, of course. Compared to ordinary women, she could be considered a beauty. But compared to Murong Qiuyue and Murong Qingxue, she was far inferior. The two women were rated very highly, reaching over ninety points. This beauty, at most, was seventy to eighty points.
Among Yang Feilong's women, the least attractive was Xu Fei, but even Xu Fei was eighty-nine points. After dual cultivation with Yang Feilong, her temperament and all aspects had improved to ninety points, reaching a new level!
"Don't kill me!" The woman looked at Yang Feilong with fear and dread in her eyes.
She seemed to be terrified by Yang Feilong's devilish slaughter just now!
"Feilong, she seems afraid of you!" Murong Qiuyue said helplessly.
"You two keep her company! I'll go check if there are any stragglers in this mountain stronghold!" Yang Feilong said.
There were no other women in the entire mountain stronghold besides this one.
This made Yang Feilong somewhat curious.
"Where are the other women?" Yang Feilong asked curiously.
"The other women were all killed by the Chieftain!" the woman replied with a lingering look of fear.
"Is that so?" Yang Feilong nodded. "Alright, you may go!"
"Thank you for your great kindness and for saving my life. Can... can you hug me?" The woman looked at Yang Feilong with a hint of shyness.
This caused Murong Qiuyue's brow to furrow.
"No!" Yang Feilong shook his head.
It was just a hug. Hearing Yang Feilong refuse, Murong Qiuyue felt better. Of course, she knew her man was popular. Furthermore, she herself had pursued him for a long time before he agreed. This damaged goods would certainly not appeal to him!
"Feilong, she's just expressing her gratitude to you. Grant her wish!" Murong Qiuyue said.
"As a grown man, if you hug her, will you lose a piece of flesh?" Murong Qingxue also chimed in.
Seeing the two women persuading him, Yang Feilong nodded. "Alright, then!"
Yang Feilong nodded.
The next moment, the woman lunged towards Yang Feilong for a hug.
*Clang!*
A sound like metal striking metal echoed through the air.
Murong Qingxue and Murong Qiuyue were stunned. The next moment, both women looked at the woman with fury. "How can you be so ungrateful!"
"Ungrateful? No, she must be from the mountain stronghold!" Yang Feilong said.
"How do you know?" The woman looked at Yang Feilong with hatred in her eyes.
She had just stabbed Yang Feilong in a vital spot with a poisoned dagger, but she had failed. She had no longer struggled, but she didn't know where she had revealed a weakness that allowed him to be on guard. Otherwise, her stab would have been successful!
"I saw the admiration you had for Tie Shou earlier, and then you showed a hint of killing intent when you saw my women. At that time, I felt something was amiss!" Yang Feilong said calmly. "Later, I only thought you were looking down on those bandits. Then I discovered there were no women in the entire stronghold, which made me feel even more suspicious. Because the Chieftain clearly had a penchant for women, why were there no others? I wondered if you, out of jealousy for those women, had killed them!"
"A brilliant deduction!" The woman looked at Yang Feilong admiringly. "That's right. I like Tie Shou. He can have women, but those women cannot take away his favor towards me! So, after he had them, I killed them!"
"Of course, Tie Shou knew it was me, but he didn't dare to stop me!"
"He naturally wouldn't dare to stop you because you poisoned him. If he killed you, he would die too!" Yang Feilong said calmly.
When he retrieved his sword earlier, he had felt a hint of poison on it, but he had burned it away!
Now he understood that the poison was administered by this woman.
"Clever! Unfortunately, I don't like you! You killed the man I loved the most. If that's the case, then I will assassinate you! To avenge him. These two women are no match for me. It's a shame that if I kill them, the murderer who harmed him, which is you, will escape punishment!" The woman said with a grim smile.
"Feilong, I'm going to kill this damned woman!" Murong Qingxue said furiously, then drew her sword.
The woman wielded her dagger and slashed fiercely, blocking Murong Qingxue's sword. What the woman said was true; her cultivation was indeed stronger than Murong Qingxue's!
Yang Feilong probed slightly and discovered that this woman was at the half-step Golden Core realm, or more precisely, she was in the process of condensing her Golden Core but had not yet succeeded!
Condensing a Golden Core required quiet cultivation, yet this woman treated it like a game, coming out to wander halfway through. It was truly exasperating!
As a result, even if she eventually succeeded in condensing her Golden Core, she would likely be a weaker Golden Core cultivator. Perhaps, in her heart, the Golden Core realm was not as important as accompanying her man!
In any case, he couldn't understand it.
"Heh heh, woman, you like this man, don't you!" The woman looked at Murong Qingxue and mocked. "And you pretend not to like him! How interesting!"
"I'm going to tear your mouth apart!" Murong Qingxue seemed to have hit a sore spot and angrily charged at the woman again!
But she was dodged again by the woman!
"I heard the other woman call you 'Aunt' just now. Heh heh, you've fallen for your niece's husband?" The woman looked at Murong Qingxue with a mocking smile. "Honestly, you're not as good as me. If you like a man, pursue your love boldly! If he's disobedient, kill all the women around him!"
Her face contorted with a sinister expression, and she sneered.
Yang Feilong shook his head. This woman was simply a lunatic. As for Murong Qingxue liking him?
He found it unbelievable at first, but after blinking, he felt it was not impossible. After all, he was so outstanding. He had always been aware of his own excellence.
"Does Auntie also like Feilong?" Upon hearing this, Murong Qiuyue's face first showed surprise. But after thinking for a moment, she realized it was not impossible.
Earlier, she had thought that since they had met so few times, she shouldn't like him. But sometimes, matters of the heart were not determined by the number of meetings. When feelings arise, they cannot be stopped. Moreover, her man was so outstanding!
Why had her aunt been single for so many years? Hadn't she just not met anyone she liked?
Now that she had met him, a love at first sight was also within reason. Perhaps if they hadn't had this life-saving encounter today, and their meetings had become fewer, this feeling might not have developed.
Thinking back, they had often chatted about Yang Feilong these past few months. She had previously thought her aunt merely admired Yang Feilong. Now, it seemed that when they first met, her aunt had already taken a liking to her man.
After all, she knew her aunt was also a 'face-connoisseur,' just like her!
Thinking of this, Murong Qiuyue was speechless for a long time.
"What should we do now?" Murong Qiuyue was very troubled.
Murong Qingxue was even more troubled. What nonsense was this woman spouting? How could she possibly like her niece's husband?
He was her niece's man; how could she like him!
She was now completely enraged!
She wanted to kill this woman. Earlier, she had pitied her, but now she felt a lingering fear. If Yang Feilong hadn't been on guard, and the poisoned dagger had pierced his vital spot, wouldn't he have died?
In fact, Murong Qiuyue was also both fortunate and fearful.
If Yang Feilong had died, it would have been their fault. Because Yang Feilong had refused at the time, they had urged him on from the side, even making sarcastic remarks, forcing Yang Feilong to accept the hug!
But Murong Qingxue would not be thinking about that fearful possibility now. Unable to subdue this woman for a long time, she couldn't help but shout at Yang Feilong, "Yang Feilong, are you just going to watch her run rampant?"
"Even if you don't act against her, she won't live much longer!" Yang Feilong sighed and said.
"En?" Murong Qiuyue and Murong Qingxue were stunned.
"Your taste in men is indeed good. I have already taken poison! My man is dead, so what meaning is there in my living?" Blood suddenly trickled from the corner of the woman's mouth. She looked at Yang Feilong with surprise. "You can actually tell I've been poisoned? Amazing!"
"Your poison skills are quite good, and so are my medical skills!" Yang Feilong said. "But I won't save you!"
"It's a pity I didn't meet you earlier. Perhaps if I had met you earlier, I might have fallen in love with you!" The woman looked at Yang Feilong with a seductive smile.
Yang Feilong: "......"
The two women were so angry they wished they could attack her again.
Well, since the other party was dying, there was no point in striking a finishing blow.
"Actually, I was also captured by Tie Shou and brought to the mountain stronghold. I was a respectable woman, but at some point, I fell in love with the man who harmed me?" The woman's body swayed but did not fall. She slowly began to recount her story. "Then, to fight for favor, I killed the other women who vied for his affection, becoming the woman I hated the most!"
"I wanted to use poison so he wouldn't betray me. I should have been more ruthless. Then, perhaps he would have belonged to me and wouldn't have been so fickle!" The woman chuckled. "Oh, right. Since you've come here, you must have met our Second Chieftain, right?"
"He is my fiancé."
As soon as she said this, Yang Feilong and the other two were stunned!
"Because I was defiled, he voluntarily went up the mountain and was also defiled! Heh heh, then he became obsessed with that feeling, and like me, fell in love with Tie Shou. He is the only lover of Tie Shou that I did not kill!"
"......"
Yang Feilong exclaimed, "Good heavens!"
The two women felt their worldviews shattered!
How could such a melodramatic plot be true?
But the facts were before them; they had to believe it even if they didn't want to!
"After I die, just burn me, like the others. If there is an afterlife, I hope I am born in the mortal world. The mortal world seems less dramatic!"
The woman, whether it was remorse at her deathbed or something else.
"Do you regret killing those innocent women?" Yang Feilong asked sternly.
"Regret? I don't know. If I could start over, I don't know what decision I would make. Perhaps, I would still kill them! Unless, at that time, I was saved by a prince charming!" After saying this, the woman glanced at the two women, then finally looked at Yang Feilong, and her body collapsed with a thud.
