f"Ah Sheng, what were you practicing just now?"

"It’s the spear technique of the Xuanyuan Family, created by my father. There are a total of seven forms. Do you want to learn it?"

"This... isn’t appropriate, is it? After all, it’s the spear technique of your Xuanyuan Family. How could someone from the Nangong Family like me learn it privately?"

"What’s inappropriate about it? On the battlefield, having one more skilled general is an additional safeguard for our Great Yan."

Xuanyuan Sheng had taught Nangong Li this spear technique without reservation, and he treasured it as a precious possession, unable to sleep for several nights in excitement. He still vividly remembered how Xuanyuan Sheng guided him, so he would never mistake it.

This girl was definitely using the spear technique of the Xuanyuan Family!

But this was too strange.

How could a girl from a lower state know the Xuanyuan Family’s spear technique?

If it were Xiao Liulang using it, he would be shocked, but at least there would be some explanation, as Xiao Liulang indeed had undeniable ties with the Xuanyuan Family.

‘Once Xuanyuan appears, even a hundred ghosts bow in submission.’

It was said that even the most fearsome ghosts from purgatory fear the Xuanyuan Family, so how could the living possibly be a match for them?

Nangong Li clearly understood that this was just a young, immature girl. Even if she used the Xuanyuan Family’s spear technique, so what? It didn’t make her truly... truly of the Xuanyuan lineage!

Yet, despite that understanding, a wave of instinctive fear surged up within Nangong Li, and his focus wavered.

In that moment of distraction, the "spear" struck his right thigh!

After all, it wasn’t a real spear, so it didn’t pierce him. Nevertheless, his thigh was severely numbed.

The young maiden's gaze was as sharp as a knife, her killing intent as fierce as a wolf.

In an instant, Nangong Li felt a familiar fighting spirit——it was the ferocity that belonged to the men of the Xuanyuan Family!

Nangong Li nearly forgot to counterattack, only coming to his senses when the intense pain in his thigh hit him, at which point he flicked Gu Jiao’s "spear" away with his sword!

If earlier he held a sliver of hope, thinking that this girl wasn’t truly using the real Xuanyuan spear technique, now he was absolutely certain.

But didn’t that make it even stranger?

The Xuanyuan Family had been executed for a long time. Where could this girl have learned their spear technique?

It couldn’t be that this girl infiltrated the Nangong Residence, hid by his side, and secretly observed him practicing this spear technique, right?

No, that wasn’t right either. He hadn’t practiced the Xuanyuan Family’s spear technique in over ten years.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to practice it, nor was it that the Xuanyuan Family’s spear technique wasn’t powerful enough. It was precisely because it was so powerful that apart from the Xuanyuan Family members, few outsiders were capable of learning it.

This spear technique demanded extremely high speed and strength, but its requirement for internal force was relatively low. People with strong internal force often unconsciously use their internal force during attacks, but the spear technique created by Xuanyuan Li required practitioners to gather and restrain all their internal force into the dantian.

But it was always harder to restrain than to release.

If one was careless, their dantian would be damaged.

The pain of internal force swelling the dantian was unbearable for anyone except the perverse members of the Xuanyuan Family; no normal person could endure it.

This was also why he had abandoned the technique back then.

He had once lamented that Xuanyuan Sheng had done it on purpose. The reason he generously taught him the spear technique was because he knew he wouldn’t be able to master it anyway.

But why could this girl learn it?

Nangong Li’s mind was a chaotic mess. Today’s events had all unfolded one after another, completely beyond his expectations.

"Second form!" Gu Jiao spun around, her “spear” like a blade, slashing fiercely towards Nangong Li with the dominance of the vast sea and mountains!

If this had been a real spear, Nangong Li had no doubt he would have been cleaved in two by the girl!

"What a ruthless girl!"

Nangong Li swung his sword and severed the "spearhead" of Gu Jiao's weapon!

Since it wasn’t a real red tassel spear, even if he cut off a part, there was still a large portion left.

Without a spearhead, every cut section became a spearhead.

And Nangong Li realized, too late, that he had fallen into her trap.

This girl hadn’t intended to take his life just now. She had deliberately angled the branch by an inch, causing him to slice off a part of her branch unevenly.

He simply carved an actual spearhead for her!

Gu Jiao looked at her “weapon” with satisfaction, curling her lips into a smile, and said, “It’s no longer blunt and rounded now.”

Nangong Li choked furiously, "You!"

Is this how you're supposed to use the Xuanyuan Family's spear technique?

The spear technique meant to kill ghosts and gods alike had somehow been used by her with a sense of irreverence!

The sound of footsteps grew closer.

It seemed he needed to end the fight quickly.

The shock this girl had brought him would stop here; now, he had to fight with all his strength.

Nangong Li snorted coldly, "The last time I fought with all my strength was when I faced Xuanyuan Sheng. Girl..."

Gu Jiao interrupted him, "Nonsense. When you were running away from Chang Jing, didn’t you use all your strength? Could you have escaped without giving it your all?"

Nangong Li staggered and almost fell!

Girl!

A man can be killed but not humiliated!

Do I look like I don’t care about my dignity?

In fact, escaping with full strength and attacking with full strength were two different things.

Chang Jing broke his arm because he was careless and underestimated him. If they truly stood on a fighting ring, he would never lose to Chang Jing!

After that, with his injuries, he could no longer confront Chang Jing directly.

"Prepare to die, girl! I don’t care who you are or how you obtained this spear technique, today you will die under this general’s sword!"

A terrifying killing intent exploded from Nangong Li’s entire body. It wasn't just this girl who knew the Xuanyuan Family’s martial arts——he did too!

He had learned the Xuanyuan Family’s internal force techniques and swordsmanship.

Now, he would let this girl witness what true power was!

Nangong Li’s internal force surged like a massive invisible vortex, sweeping up dust and leaves from the ground. He channeled his internal energy into his left hand, pointed his sword at the sky, and unleashed a sword qi as fierce as a rainbow, slashing fiercely toward Gu Jiao from midair.

*Squelch*——

It was the sound of a sharp blade piercing into flesh.

PLEASE CHECK OUT OUR NEW PROJECT:

Description:

In the suspenseful supernatural novel “Records of Mortals,” Jiang Baiyan, once a solitary and impoverished youth, finds refuge in the Shi family of Chang’an due to his extraordinary bloodline. With his clear and captivating peach blossom eyes, this seemingly innocent young man conceals a fanatical and malevolent lunatic within. Destined to succumb to darkness amidst hardship and degradation, he becomes a harbinger of chaos.

When Shi Dai suddenly transmigrates, she takes on the role of the Shi family’s young lady, the one who subjects him to countless trials, eventually leading to her demise.

The twist? She never got to finish reading the novel.

From what she knew of the plot, Jiang Baiyan was just a silent, timid, and often bullied pitiable character.

***

Jiang Baiyan had never encountered someone like Shi Dai.

After he had slaughtered all the evil creatures in the garden, the blood-stained young man, exuding a murderous aura, approached her step by step, his lips curling into a malicious smile, "Scared?"

Shi Dai responded, “You’re really amazing! I applaud you until I spin like a spiral and fly around the moon three hundred times! And also——you have dimples when you smile!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

After seeing her at a lantern festival with another man, Jiang Baiyan lowered his eyes, his fingers twirling her hair. He said in a mocking and sinister tone, "The mansion in the western suburbs...if I hide you there, no one will find you, right?"

Shi Dai replied, "Does it come with meals and lodging? Can I sleep in everyday? Oh, and your cooking is the best!"

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

—

Jiang Baiyan was supposed to dislike her, even hate her, but as their separation drew near, his eyes turned red and he grabbed her sleeve, pleading, "Don't abandon me, alri—”

Shi Dai responded, "Alright, alright, I’ll only have you. Mwah."

Jiang Baiyan: ...?

He hasn't finished his lines yet though…
