Joining the Joyful Union Sect, My Life in the Grip of My Senior Sister

Chapter 488: Your Highness, Shouldn’t you lay low for a while?

As the black-clad leader made his move, the other black-clad men also fearlessly charged toward Lin Fengmian, engaging in a fierce battle with the Shadow Guards.

In the face of this deadly attack, Lin Fengmian remained calm and composed, exuding the demeanor of someone who would not be shaken even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.

A gust of black mist swept by, and You Yao, dressed in a purple robe and radiating elegance, appeared in front of Lin Fengmian.

With a swift motion, she slapped the hilt of her red sword, causing it to suddenly extend like a venomous snake striking out, aiming straight for the young man.

The young man clashed with her only to be forced back, exclaiming in disbelief, “Unity Realm?”

You Yao remained silent. With a flick of her chain-like serpent sword, sharp blade edges extended from all directions, trapping the young man.

You Yao stepped onto the blade edges, her long legs moving swiftly as she flashed across the battlefield, appearing right in front of the young man.

Caught off guard by her sudden proximity, the young man was startled and swung his spear to force her back.

You Yao dodged with an almost unnatural grace, closing the distance and engaging him in hand-to-hand combat.

This was the first time that Lin Fengmian had seen You Yao in action, and he couldn’t help but narrow his eyes.

Was she cultivating both the Sword Dao and the Body Tempering Dao?

Although You Yao used a sword, it was clear that she also practiced Body Tempering, although it was unclear which path she focused on.

Unlike typical Body Tempering cultivators, despite her impressive physique, You Yao excelled at using softness to overcome hardness.

Her body was as flexible as if it were boneless, allowing her to perform incredible movements much like a serpent.

The young man’s broad and powerful spear techniques were rendered ineffective, leaving him pinned down and struggling.

Meanwhile, You Yao’s chain-like serpent sword adorned with barbs sliced through his flesh, leaving him bloodied.

You Yao was like a venomous snake coiling around its prey, slowly wearing him down.

She was waiting for the moment when he revealed a weakness in order to deliver a fatal blow.

At this moment, Elder Ming gave Lin Fengmian a strange look, leaving him puzzled.

Lin Fengmian, trying to make conversation, remarked, “You Yao’s legs are something else. They could probably crush a man’s waist.”

Elder Ming chuckled awkwardly, not knowing how to respond.

You Yao, who was still fighting the young man, overheard this and coldly snorted, cursing Lin Fengmian in her heart: Pervert!

When Elder Ming saw Lin Fengmian still standing there, he kindly advised, “Your Highness, shouldn’t you lay low for a while?”

Why had His Highness become so bold recently?

He hadn’t even flinched when that spear strike from the Unity Realm came at him!

And now, he was still joking around?

Only then did Lin Fengmian realize the issue, but he showed no signs of panic.

He lowered his voice and said, “Elder Ming, give me a hand. My legs are a bit weak.”

Elder Ming let out an awkward “Ah,” realizing that he had overthought things.

So, he was just too scared to run away.

Lin Fengmian quickly added, “It’s not fear, Elder Ming. It’s just that I’ve been drained by Miss Shangguan. My legs are weak from exhaustion.”

Elder Ming hastily agreed, “Of course, of course!”

At that moment, Shangguan Qiong, who had arrived late, swayed her hips as she weakly approached and supported Lin Fengmian.

“Your Highness, what are you talking about? Who drained who? My legs are still weak.”

Lin Fengmian nodded solemnly. “My beauty speaks the truth!”

At this moment, a sudden change occurred on the battlefield. The young man, frustrated and angry, let out a roar as a surge of powerful spiritual energy erupted.

A strange Dharma Idol appeared – a beast-headed humanoid figure with two fire snakes piercing its ears, two fire dragons beneath its feet, and its body covered in fiery red scales.

It was the Dharma Idol of the Fire Ancestral Shaman.

You Yao was forced back, hovering in mid-air with her chain-like serpent sword in her hand, looking both mysterious and elegant.

“You witch! Today, I’ll tear you to pieces!”

The ten-zhang-tall Dharma Idol of Fire Ancestral Shaman let out a roar and charged at You Yao, flames shooting into the sky.

You Yao let out a cold snort. With a twist of her hand, the serpentine blades coiled around her, and a thick white mist enveloped the area.

Moments later, the mist dissipated, revealing a bizarre twenty-zhang high Dharma Idol.

Its upper body was that of a pale-skinned woman, but its lower body was a serpentine form composed of segmented white bones, creating an eerie and unsettling sight.

The two Dharma Idols collided, and violent spiritual energy erupted in all directions, creating fierce gusts of wind.

Suddenly, a series of explosions rang out as several black-clad men self-destructed to help their comrades break through the encirclement.

A number of black-clad men broke through the defenses and charged at Lin Fengmian with murderous intent, their bodies surging with intense energy.

“Your Highness, be careful!”

Elder Ming quickly flew out, positioning himself in front of Lin Fengmian to block the suicidal attacks of these assassins.

Several explosions erupted in succession as several Nascent Soul Realm cultivators self-destructed, sending Elder Ming flying. The remaining assassins continued to charge towards Lin Fengmian.

Shangguan Qiong, who was holding Lin Fengmian, transformed into a streak of light, constantly dodging and weaving, refusing to let the attackers get close.

At this moment, she felt a bit frustrated. If it weren’t for the fact that the scoundrel in her arms had drained her strength, she wouldn’t be in such a sorry state.

Was this guy in cahoots with the enemy?

Seeing that Lin Fengmian now had two additional protectors, the young man knew that he was at a disadvantage and roared, “Retreat!”

The Fire Ancestral Shaman Dharma Idol launched a frenzied attack on You Yao, trying to force her back so that he could escape.

But You Yao had no intention of letting him go. Snake-like blades flew out from all directions, tightly wrapping around him.

Seeing the heavy casualties among the Shadow Guards, Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but narrow his eyes with a cold glint.

“You Yao, keep him here!”

“Elder Ming, coordinate with the Shadow Guards to cut off his escape. Don’t let him escape!”

Elder Ming, seeing that Lin Fengmian was being protected by Shangguan Qiong, acknowledged the order and transformed into a streak of light to join the battle.

You Yao, who had no sense of fair one-on-one combat, cooperated with Elder Ming to trap the young man.

As the black-clad men were killed one by one, only the young man remained, fighting like a cornered beast.

He roared angrily, “I am Qi Liannuo, an honorary elder of the Junyan Imperial Hall!”

Lin Fengmian was surprised that the man had revealed his identity, but he responded with a cold laugh.

“So, it’s Elder Qi Liannuo. May I ask who sent you to assassinate me?”

Qi Liannuo defiantly replied, “I just don’t like the look of you, kid! What are you going to do about it? Go ahead and kill me if you dare!”

Lin Fengmian calmly said, “Very well, as you wish.”

“You Yao, cut off his head. I want it hung on the bow of the ship!”

Elder Ming hesitated. “Your Highness, are you sure?”

Lin Fengmian snapped his fan shut and coldly said, “Kill him! I’ll take responsibility for the consequences.”

Judging by the level of protection around him, killing an honorary elder who provoked him first shouldn’t be a problem.

If things escalated, it might even give him a chance to meet Jun Yunshang sooner!

With You Yao and the Shadow Guards coordinating their formations and Elder Ming providing support from the side, Qi Liannuo was gradually being pushed into a corner.

Qi Liannuo hadn’t expected that Lin Fengmian would actually dare to kill him, so he started to panic.

He blustered, “Jun Wuxie, do you really want to make an enemy of Heavenly Fiend Hall?”

Lin Fengmian didn’t even bother to reply, but just looked at him coldly.

Cornered and desperate, Qi Liannuo tried several times to break free but failed, leaving him in a fit of impotent rage.

“You forced my hand!”

Gritting his teeth, he prepared to take everyone down with him in a final act of self-destruction.

But You Yao had anticipated this move. The bronze eyepatch on her face suddenly fell away, revealing a pair of crimson eyes.

A bloody light flashed in her eyes as she coldly said, “Soul Seize!”

Qi Liannuo froze for a moment, standing dazed and motionless.

You Yao flew up and landed on Qi Liannuo’s shoulders, giving Lin Fengmian a meaningful look.

With a twist of her body, she wrapped her legs around Qi Liannuo’s neck and snapped it with a sharp motion. Then she kicked his head, sending it flying back toward the ship.
