Chapter 279: Chapter 279: Mistaken Identity

Apart from Chou Li, Blood Sect Master and many experts from the Rashamon Sect felt equally baffled.

However, considering Han Shuang’s recent behavior, her actions and character were quite abnormal. So, they dared not speculate wildly.

Han Xiaoying, who was desperately fighting the Demon Bear, was also stunned.

"How could this female disciple from the Rashamon Sect be so kind-hearted, helping me slay the Demon Bear? And her strength surpasses mine," Han Xiaoying was puzzled, but she didn’t think too much about it.

Right now, avenging her husband was the most important thing.

...

Two female warriors from opposing sects teaming up to slay the Demon Bear was indeed a peculiar sight.

Han Xiaoying was expected; many knew that Chu Feng was her fiancé. She was seeking revenge for her husband.

But what about Han Shuang, the disciple of the Rashamon Sect Leader?

After the Demon Bear was wounded by a strike from Han Shuang, it became even more enraged, fiercely lunging at Han Shuang.

"Seven Killings Sword Skill, Starlight Condensation, Broken Army leads the way, slash!"

Han Xiaoying didn’t know why, but felt upset being outperformed by Han Shuang. She gave it her all in this sword strike, performing beyond her usual capabilities.

It seemed as though she was intent on competing with Han Shuang.

Boom!

Just as the Demon Bear turned its head to pounce on Han Shuang, the supposedly less formidable Han Xiaoying managed to break its defenses with a single strike.

And tore viciously through its hide, slicing into the flesh.

It must be said that a big reason why Han Xiaoying could inflict such severe damage with this strike was that she took advantage of Han Shuang’s earlier blow.

Because after Han Shuang breached its defenses and wounded it, the demonic Qi on its body flowed much slower. The hardest part was the initial breach of defense.

It’s like a solid stone slab that, after developing a crack, becomes much easier to break.

"Xiao Ying, well done. That’s it, the essence of the Seven Killings Sword Skill lies in melding the Power of Seven Stars with your Seven-star Sword Veins," Elder Zhuang saw her beloved disciple strike such an effective blow and felt a surge of pride on her face.

She loudly directed Han Xiaoying.

This poor Demon Bear, with a strength equivalent to that of a Sword Saint Level, could have easily defeated an early-stage Sword Saint in combat.

Yet, it was being slaughtered by two female warriors at the Great Sword Master Level.

Han Xiaoying and Han Shuang, each vying for superiority, struck fiercer and fiercer blows. Their overwhelming combat prowess also made the young male disciples present feel embarrassed.

It’s estimated that afterwards, no one would dare to lightly consider targeting them. At least no one would dare to force themselves on them.

Thunderous rumble!

The Demon Bear’s massive body fell to the ground, and it felt like the entire Demon Suppression Tower trembled violently several times.

A huge Demon Core rolled out from its cleft head.

Rattle!

It rolled quite fast. Han Xiaoying and Han Shuang, both drenched in fragrant sweat, exchanged glances. Neither of them showed any intention of picking up the Demon Core.

As for the other experts, they dared even less to come over and snatch their spoils of battle.

Plonk!

Coincidentally, the Demon Core rolled into a deep pit. This pit was the very one left by the Demon Bear when it struck Chu Feng with its paw.

"Husband!"

Han Xiaoying walked toward the deep pit; she wanted to personally bury the remains of her husband. Han Shuang also walked uncontrollably towards the pit, her steps heavy.

However, as soon as the two women approached the edge of the pit, they both shouted out in extreme surprise.

"Not dead, not dead..." Tears still brimmed in the eyes of the two women, their faces now breaking into extremely joyous smiles.

In the deep pit created by the Demon Bear’s mighty paw swipe, Chu Feng slowly climbed out, still clutching the huge demon core in his hand.

"Master, this demon core is amazing, let me have it, and I guarantee that I can immediately advance to the Demon Eye Evil Spirit King!" Mokeboer communicated with Chu Feng excitedly using divine sense.

"You glutton, it’s yours. Don’t let me down."

Chu Feng stored the demon core in his sleeve, and neither Han Xiaoying nor Han Shuang objected.

"Husband, I was so afraid just now... I thought something terrible had happened to you!" Han Xiaoying’s voice was very pleasant, filled with joy.

"Your husband has a tough life, not even King Yan can claim it!" Chu Feng joked as he climbed out of the pit, having been dealt a severe blow by that bear paw. Fortunately, he had the Small Extermination Immortal Sword Formation Diagram on his back, which saved his life.

The Demon Bear’s strength was terrifying, and its swipes were incredibly fast.

Moreover, before its paw even struck Chu Feng’s body, a terrible force oppressed him, making it impossible for him to dodge or move.

In the end, he was smacked into the deep pit like an insect.

"Pfft~!"

Han Xiaoying covered her mouth and giggled, "What are you joking for at a time like this? You almost scared me to death." She stretched out her hand, as white and delicate as jade, to pull Chu Feng out of the pit.

Chu Feng emerged from the pit, and was taken aback when he saw Han Shuang standing at the edge.

Their eyes met, and Han Shuang quickly lowered her head and turned to leave.

"Wait!" Chu Feng called after her.

Even the somewhat clueless Han Xiaoying understood that her husband must have an extraordinary relationship with this woman from the Rashamon Sect.

"I don’t seem to know you, what do you want?" Han Shuang stopped in her tracks without turning back.

"Nothing, I just thought you looked like a friend of mine. A friend that’s etched in my heart, whom I can never forget."

"I must have mistaken you for someone else, you can go!"

Chu Feng’s voice was somewhat hoarse. He knew the moment Han Shuang decided to leave him that there was a vast disparity between them.

Because Chu Feng was a waste without even sword meridians.

His family background was also very poor.

He didn’t deserve her.

During the days after Han Shuang left, Chu Feng missed her terribly and felt tormented by every passing second. Now that they were reunited, she pretended not to recognize him.

For the extremely prideful Chu Feng, he would never force himself on someone.

Nor would he pester a lady desperately.

"Disciple, come here. From now on, remember never to speak to any man from the Ten Thousand Sword Sect. If you see one, kill one for your master." Blood Sect Master’s voice was cold as he ordered Han Shuang.

Han Shuang did not linger and quickly returned to her master’s side.

Chou Li’s gaze swept over Han Shuang and Chu Feng.

Eventually, it settled on Chu Feng, with a trace of cold killing intent in his eyes. He did not believe that Chu Feng and Han Shuang did not know each other.

"You all like watching trash, but this young master doesn’t have that kind of leisure. The allure of that Supreme Treasure Sword is much greater for me." Zang Jianfeng’s arrogant voice sounded as he took the lead and flew towards the deeper parts of the Demon Suppression Tower’s second level.

Prince Jianyun stared at Chu Feng unwillingly and sighed in his heart, "How can this worm’s life be so tough? He manages to survive every calamity."

Although he had not cultivated to the Sword Saint level, his body was wrapped with Nine Red Sword Qi, easily keeping the Demonic Qi at bay.

The Nine Yang Sword Veins are even more superior to the Supreme Level Pure Yang Sword Vein, protecting against all evil.

Prince Jianyun also swiftly flew towards the depths of the Demon Suppression Tower; he was set on obtaining that Supreme Treasure Sword. With that, he would have greater confidence in competing for the position of the head disciple of the Ten Thousand Sword Sect.
