44: Chapter 44 Five Fingers Slash Out Simultaneously, Scorpion Suffers Defeat

Given the current situation, it is better to capture the Saintess of the Jianyue Sect first.

It would be best if I could kill the mysterious Human Race Prodigy before me as well. If that is not possible, I will just have to find another opportunity to eliminate him later.

At the very least, this way I can still receive a generous reward upon returning. If I become greedy, I might end up with nothing at all.

Not only would I lose the reward, but I would also face severe punishment.

After weighing the pros and cons, Magic Scorpion decided to prioritize the current mission.

Do you want to capture the person and then escape using the Shape-Shifting Shadow Transfer?

Hmph, think again!

Seeing the other party standing there with flickering eyes, and faintly showing intentions of using a Bloodline secret technique.

Yun Chenfei instantly guessed Magic Scorpion's intentions and immediately rushed toward Lin Guiwan.

Seeing this, Lin Guiwan also realized that she might have become Magic Scorpion's target and hurriedly looked in his direction.

She saw that Magic Scorpion's figure was gradually fading; clearly, he had already used his Bloodline secret technique, the Shape-Shifting Shadow Transfer.

At this moment, Magic Scorpion's figure suddenly appeared not far in front of Lin Guiwan.

Seeing that Yun Chenfei had already protected Lin Guiwan behind him, Magic Scorpion realized that his intentions had been seen through, and he was instantly enraged.

You are courting death!

Heaven-Turning Demon Palm!

Magic Scorpion roared angrily, then channeled all his mana, violently struck out with a palm, and slammed it toward Yun Chenfei.

Five Fingers Extend Together, Samsara Palm!

Facing Magic Scorpion's pitch-black palm, Yun Chenfei swung his arm and struck out with his palm to meet it.

Boom!

A dazzling light shone, and the palm shadows cast by the two collided instantly in mid-air.

The black palm shadow struck by Magic Scorpion, upon encountering Yun Chenfei's formless palm shadow, was like a piece of ice meeting endless flames, and it was instantly evaporated completely.

It then slammed fiercely into Magic Scorpion, who had not yet had time to react.

Due to the continuous high-intensity combat, even as strong as Magic Scorpion was, he was already at the end of his rope and was directly shattered on one side of his body by this palm.

A Divine Soul, wrapped in some essence blood, suddenly shot up into the sky and then fled into the distance without looking back.

Having used the White Tiger Slaughter Art and the Samsara Palm in succession, two high-level Cultivation Techniques, Yun Chenfei was also panting and exhausted.

Although he wanted to cut the weeds and eliminate the roots, he had no strength to pursue.

Just as Magic Scorpion's Divine Soul passed over the body of Ao Canyin, a sudden change occurred.

Ao Canyin's body suddenly rose from the ground and then swallowed Magic Scorpion's Divine Soul along with his essence blood completely.

This sudden scene left both Yun Chenfei and Lin Guiwan dumbfounded and astonished.

As expected of a Devil Head from the Heavenly Demon Clan, he was truly cold-blooded and cruel, not even sparing the Divine Soul of his own kind, swallowing it directly as nourishment.

After swallowing Magic Scorpion's Divine Soul and essence blood, Ao Canyin did not linger and immediately turned into a streak of black light, fleeing into the distance.

The vitality of the Heavenly Demon Clan is truly tenacious. Even with a severely injured body, after taking two of my Nirvana Finger attacks head-on, he is still so lively.

After the shock, Yun Chenfei sighed.

Then, he stepped on the Eight Steps of the Heavenly Demon, snatched the Storage Pouch from the waist of Magic Scorpion's corpse, and prepared to turn and leave.

Wait, wait a moment!

A melodious voice suddenly sounded behind him.

Is something the matter?

Yun Chenfei stopped and asked without turning his head.

Thank you for saving me.

Looking at that back covered in wounds, yet not turning back, Lin Guiwan bit her lip and slowly lowered her head.

As we are both of the Human Race, this is only this one time.

Yun Chenfei said indifferently, then strode forward and walked into the distance.

I... can I ask you a question?

Lin Guiwan clutched her clothes tightly with both hands and asked uneasily.

Although she had also been used by Ye Qingshan and Lin Feiyu last time, Yun Chenfei's death was ultimately caused by her own hands.

Yun Chenfei not only saved her without holding a grudge, but now she was brazenly asking him a question.

Lin Guiwan also felt that she was being a bit excessive, and lowered her head in shame, too embarrassed to look up.

Hearing this, Yun Chenfei hesitated and stopped.

Last time, why didn't you fight back, and why didn't you dodge?

Sensing that the other party had stopped, Lin Guiwan asked with complex emotions.

Hearing Lin Guiwan's voice, which was the same as his girlfriend's from his previous life, some images from his past life gradually appeared in Yun Chenfei's mind.

Brother Fei, is the pickled fish I made delicious?

Brother Fei, do I look good in this outfit?

Brother Fei, when we get married, I want to go to Sanya, and when I am a bride, I want to ride in an eight-bearer sedan chair!

After receiving no response for a long time, Lin Guiwan raised her head slightly and secretly glanced at Yun Chenfei.

Seeing him standing there blankly, looking distracted, Lin Guiwan's pretty face was instantly covered in a flush.

I promise you, I will take you to Sanya, and when we get married, I will definitely use an eight-bearer sedan chair to marry you in style.

With a dull gaze and a trail of clear tears hanging from the corner of his eye, Yun Chenfei muttered.

Seeing that drop of transparent liquid falling at his feet, Lin Guiwan instantly understood what it was.

Although she did not understand what getting married meant, Lin Guiwan knew very well what the phrase marry you in style meant.

A man of iron and blood, covered in wounds and dripping with blood, who had been pierced through the heart by her own sword, and who had never shed a tear even until death.

At this moment, he was actually standing there with his back to her, silently shedding tears...

And he had even sworn that he would use an eight-bearer sedan chair to marry her in style.

This caused ripples to gradually appear in Lin Guiwan's heart, which had always been as still as stagnant water.

You, what exactly did you mean by that?

Lin Guiwan's heart felt as if a deer was bumping around inside, and she asked with some panic.

A young girl who had always been focused on cultivating in the Sect and had never been alone with a man.

Where had she ever experienced such a thing? The phrase marry you in style had completely disrupted Lin Guiwan's heart.

Recalling the sentence he had spoken unintentionally while just lost in memories.

After hearing Lin Guiwan's question, Yun Chenfei knew that she must have misunderstood.

Although this stunning beauty before him was very similar to his girlfriend from his previous life, one could even say they were identical.

But the two of them could never be the same person; that sword strike last time had completely severed Yun Chenfei's fantasies.

It was precisely because of that sword strike that Yun Chenfei had activated the System and gained the opportunity to counter-kill the protagonist.

This time, in the spirit of humanitarianism, saving her once was fulfilling his duty.

From now on, we are like...

Yun Chenfei had not yet finished the second half of his sentence.

Suddenly, a wave of mana fluctuations came from the distance.

He saw a group of black shadows speeding toward this place from the direction of the Jianyue Sect.

Farewell!

Leaving behind these two short words, Yun Chenfei rose on his sword and disappeared into the horizon.

Watching the fading green light in the sky, the flush on Lin Guiwan's pretty face quickly faded away.

She gradually returned to her original appearance, with an indifferent expression on her face.
