The Romantic Cultivator

Chapter 355 Sly Upon Sly (2)

Ji Yuan had coolly said, "I'm Number 404."

At the same time, he saw that the lips of Yun Chi had already started to move and he could well imagine that she was about to say to him, "Do you think that I'll not dare to kill you because you're Number 404?"

So he quickly seized the initiative to continue, "It seems that these cultivators are from the White Faction and they are probably here to assassinate me. Luckily you've discovered them in a nick of time or you will soon lose your great hero."

Then he smiled, "I've heard that killing the Number 404 of the opposing faction will grant the other faction an additional Escape Talisman."

In one breath, he had indirectly warned her that she ought to 'protect him' and he had also diverted her murderous intention, or rather he hoped to.

Then he quickly walked in front of her before turning his back on her as he kneel down to examine the bodies, "Did you kill them all? Hmm, you're quite skillful but there is no need to be so ruthless you know. They are only taking their trials."

Although he had said quite skillful but actually he knew that she was extremely skillful.

He had purposely turned his back on her, exposing an opening for her to strike his back because he wanted to pretend that he had not really seen what had happened.

But in that short three blinks of an eye, his back had already broken into cold sweat as he did not know what she would do next.

He was taking a gambit to put her guard down.

Then he laughed weakly, "Look at me. I got distracted by your cute pink panties that I forget to ask you what profound treasures that you are using against them?"

Yun Chi gasped softly…

Although her red skirt is short but she was careful not to expose her pink panties but how did Ji Yuan know?

Ji Yuan actually got extremely sharp eyes and he could look up at an unlikely angle. For example, through the reflection of a blade that was on the ground, he had already caught a look at the color of Yun Chi's panties.

He actually had another secret;

Although the swordplay of the Orthodox Sword Sect was ordinary and not extraordinary, it was actually an intentional swordplay to be in this way.

One would have thought that a celestial sect that could produce several sword saints in its past history would have some heaven-defying sword arts.

While many of the sword sects that had produced sword saints in the past were either gone now or had their sword arts stolen, no one actually pay any attention to the sword arts of the Orthodox Sword Sect because it is not as highly ranked or extraordinary in the Desolate Celestial Fraternity.

Therefore there were many that had thought that it was only because of the tenacity and courage of Ji Yuan that he could pass the trial of the sword saint. After all, the hidden moles that were in the Orthodox Sword Sect had never discovered anything new or unusual about the sword arts of the Orthodox Sword Sect.

So what was the secret of the swordplay of the Orthodox Sword Sect?

The focus was rather on the shining blade of their own swords.

Because the swordplay of the Orthodox Sword Sect was slower and the secret training of the successors of the Orthodox Sword Sect was on the training of their unblinking eyes, Ji Yuan and Fairy Ye Chengxi were actually reading their opponents' moves by using their own swords as a mirror.

Shangguan Yan does not know about this secret because only the rightful successor of the Orthodox Sword Sect was allowed to know.

That is the reason why Fairy Ye Chengxi is also a Sword Saintess when she is only a fifth realm cultivator, about the same time as Ji Yuan as well.

But this is not as easy as it sounds because it needs the cultivator to have a parallel mind, good eyes and the reflexes to match the extraordinary sword display of their opponents at the same time.

Countless cultivators have actually studied the swordplay of the Orthodox Sword Sect for its weakness and found it most ordinary.

Countless challengers have challenged Ji Yuan, his old master and Fairy Ye Chengxi thinking that they could easily counter the Orthodox Sword Sect's swordplay and to take over them as the new sword saint of the region but countless numbers of challengers were also defeated.

No matter how extraordinary their swordplay is or no matter how swift their movements are, Ji Yuan is able to see through their actions as though he is watching a movie by using his sword as a mirror.

Right now, even though he had his back facing Yun Chi and was kneeling in an awkward position as he examined the dead bodies, he was actually looking at what Yun Chi was doing with the subtle corner of his eyes that were on the reflection of a sword that was nearby.

He did not use his divine sense lest it would alert Yun Chi that he was actually watching his back. Rather he had used the most inconspicuous method by pretending to be a fool.

From his mentioning of the Number 404 to acting like a careless fool, it was his stratagem of putting her guard down.

When he saw that these cultivators had all died in such a big group and seemingly without any resistances, he had already known that Yun Chi was a super cultivator and he was wary immediately.

And he had no wish to fight a battle with a super cultivator in his current condition which lowered his chances for a victory, especially after witnessing the many dead bodies of the saint cultivators.

Yun Chi had lifted her fingers and had hesitated.

Then she immediately withdrew her fingers as she displayed a pleasant smile as she chuckled softly behind Ji Yuan, "I was taking a walk when I've encountered these cultivators from the other factions that are trying to make a sneak attack on our camp."

Then she sighed softly, "Unfortunately they are too overwhelming for a vulnerable maiden like me. In my panic, I was forced to use a powerful profound treasure that I've found inside the Empyrean Warrior Labyrinth. However I can only use this powerful profound treasure only once."

Then with a melancholy look, she added quietly. "I did warn them that I was about to use a powerful profound treasure that can take away their lives but they were all mocking me in disbelief. I didn't think that they will end up in this state and I didn't think that this profound treasure will be this powerful."

As she recounted her story, she was paying very careful attention to all the little expressions that were made by Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan sighed, "If I were them, I would surely believe you. So I guess that they're just some arrogant cultivators that are only capable of thinking with their lower bodies."

Then he chuckled softly, "But then again, I may fare no better than them as well."

Ji Yuan sighed deeply in the next instant, "What a pity that you've used up such a powerful profound treasure. Then who is going to protect me from all the cultivators from the other factions?"

Yun Chi smiled sweetly, "I will try my very best to protect you but there's no promise that I'll be able to do it. After all, I am just a weak and vulnerable maiden."

Ji Yuan chuckled loudly as he stood up to face her, "Actually it is a man's job to protect a maiden. How can I ask you to protect me? Especially such a beautiful maiden like yourself."

Then he put on his best charm as he explored her enticing figure with his golden eyes, "You know. I really want to bang you and I'm willing to give up my life for you."

Xiang Li was shocked as she asked him in his soul sea, "Big Brother, I've thought that you don't like her? And you want to bang her? You're so direct."

"See. I've told you that our lord is only thinking with his lower body." Fairy Anyang sighed.

Ji Yuan immediately answered them with a soft frown, "You've all seen what I've seen earlier, am I right? Right now, I am only putting on an act to put her guard down."

Pulling himself from his own soul sea, he quickly smiled to Yun Chi. "You're the most beautiful maiden that I've ever known. All my consorts cannot be compared to you and I really want to take you as my consort…"

"What about her then?" Yun Chi smiled as she suddenly pointed at a beautiful figure behind Ji Yuan.

Ji Yuan was startled because he could hear a familiar humming sound.

"I must be the most naïve maiden. I've come looking for you but you're actually having your little affair with this Yun Chi. So you want to bang her, is it? And she is the most beautiful maiden that you've ever known and none of us can be compared to her, you say."

It was Bai Qianfeng and she had come searching for Ji Yuan because she was a little worried about him. After all, Ji Yuan was still bloodied from his earlier battles with the seventh rank desolate monsters.

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

Ji Yuan: …

His throat had suddenly gone dry; Wait Qianfeng! Hear me out…this isn't what you think it is. It is only a ruse, a ruse!

Bai Qianfeng had turned around as she sped off with bleary eyes.

Ji Yuan quickly sped after her, "Qianfeng, wait! Please hear me out first!"

In just a short while, Yun Chi was alone in the darkness again.

Her pleasant smiles slowly disappeared as she began to ponder slowly;

Did he or did he not see my wings earlier?

Then when she recalled that he had seen her pink panties, there was a hint of anger in her golden eyes. "He is only paying attention to this?"

There was a suddenly hot flush on the tips of her ears as she chuckled softly, "You want to bang me? Fat hope!"

Then she muttered incoherently, "My heart will actually be stirred by him? It is impossible. He is only a beautiful face. This grea-"

Then she rolled her golden eyes around to check the surroundings, including the fourth walls, "The walls have ears."

Quietly, she tiptoed to lift herself up before she displayed her sharp feathered wings again as she sent the trees to topple over to bury the dead.

In the next instant, her sharp feathered wings had disappeared into her bare back and she had also disappeared into the darkness.
