Chapter 304: 304. That’s not how you play it.

A streak of sword light descended from the sky, swiftly severing all the black lines, then shot towards the woman in black.

The woman in black was taken aback and leaped backward, simultaneously waving her hand, causing countless black lines to shoot out, binding the incoming sword light tightly.

As the black lines were severed, the black lines on Zhao Luofei, Zhou Tong, and Yang Suhua also vanished.

They gasped for breath, desperately inhaling fresh air like fish out of water, fear still lingering in their eyes. The suffocating sensation of being on the brink of death had been truly terrifying.

Subsequently, the three of them saw a figure descending from the sky, landing before them.

Gazing at the familiar tall figure, Zhao Luofei momentarily forgot to breathe, staring blankly at him.

This familiar silhouette, that familiar voice, she was somewhat afraid to think any further.

The woman in black had already released a large number of black lines, directing them to entangle the Xuanyuan Sword. The Xuanyuan Sword continuously severed the lines, but it couldn’t keep up with the increasing number of lines and was soon tightly bound, almost wrapped into a black stick.

She then looked up at the descending person and saw a strange mask on his face, feeling uncertain: "Who might you be, sir?"

"Hold on a moment!"

Fang Zhou raised his hand to interrupt her, "Shouldn’t you state your name before asking for someone else’s? That’s common courtesy, you’re quite impolite."

Although he hadn’t seen the face of this woman in black, Fang Zhou recognized her instantly by her voice.

This person was the one responsible for liaising with Di Ao for the True Mother God Sect, frequently appearing while Di Ao bathed, showing no regard for others’ privacy.

And how did Fang Zhou know? Because he was there as well, it’s the duty of a righteous person to monitor the movements of criminals.

The interrupted woman in black was slightly taken aback. Is there such common courtesy?

At the same time, she felt that things were not going well, as they had been focused entirely on Qiao Sen and the three disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, never expecting an enemy to be lurking in the shadows.

She must quickly report this to Lord Yaksha, not to mention the fact that she had more important tasks to attend to and couldn’t be delayed here.

The woman in black harbored thoughts of retreat, but her face showed no emotion as she said, "I am Li Xian, may I ask for your honorable name?"

"I am Qi Beilin, you can call me Baron Qi Beilin."

Fang Zhou casually gave himself an alias. He could feel Zhao Luofei’s burning gaze behind him, but this was not the time to indulge in some sort of tragic romance narrative with her.

"Baron Qi Beilin?"

Li Xian slightly furrowed her brow; she had never heard of this name.

A thought flashed in her mind, and the snow behind Fang Zhou suddenly broke open, a hair-thin black line shot abruptly towards the back of his head.

It turned out that while she remained motionless, the black line had secretly traveled through the snow underfoot, cleverly drilling to Fang Zhou’s rear.

Fang Zhou, with heightened attributes and keen senses, was not deceived by any rustle of leaves or whisper of wind around him. He immediately sensed the threat from behind and slightly tilted his head to dodge it.

[New Quest Triggered - Defeat the Black Yaksha]

[Difficulty: Normal]

[Reward: Manliness*4 Blue Card*1]

[Failure: Death]

Seeing death as the penalty for failure surprised Fang Zhou quite a bit.

Not losing virginity made sense; after all, he was already a grown-up with much experience and excellent skills, but what’s with no expiring from exhaustion or turning into a sexual object?

Was this woman simply not interested in him? Not even an ounce of desire?

Perhaps her sexual orientation was off?

Finally encountering a woman uninterested in his body, Fang Zhou was rather surprised, like encountering a wolf that doesn’t eat meat.

Seeing her sneak attack fail, Li Xian waved her hand, and numerous black lines, fine as hair, shot towards Fang Zhou.

To deal with such a Sword Control master, as long as his Flying Sword is bound, it’s easy to handle.

Just as this thought flashed in Li Xian’s mind, she saw her bound Flying Sword suddenly split into two, directly freeing itself.

Li Xian was shocked and hurriedly redirected her attacks upon Fang Zhou to entangle the advancing Xuanyuan Swords with black lines.

She breathed a slight sigh of relief. Dealing with such a Sword Control master, even if the opponent has two Flying Swords, as long as they are captured...

As this thought crossed her mind, Li Xian saw the two Xuanyuan Swords split into four, breaking free.

She was astounded, hastily raising both hands, even her long hair shot out from the back, like a Black-haired Witch, as large amounts of black lines tightly entangled the incoming four Xuanyuan Swords.

"Even if you have four Flying Swords, today I will..."

Li Xian roared at Fang Zhou, but before finishing her words, she saw the four Xuanyuan Swords transform into eight.

Li Xian: "..."

This isn’t fair, why do you have so many Flying Swords!??

While Li Xian was in shock, Fang Zhou raised his hand and cast an Illusion Control Technique, followed by an invisible Sword Qi.

The Illusion Control Technique almost certainly hit, and Li Xian momentarily froze, immediately afterwards being pierced through the head by the invisible Sword Qi, collapsing on her back.

Fang Zhou was about to turn back to speak to Zhao Luofei when his brows slightly furrowed, as no notification of mission success appeared from the system.

With a thought, eight Xuanyuan Swords quickly shot towards Li Xian’s body, piercing her into a porcupine.

However, Li Xian’s body suddenly shriveled down, turning into a pitch-black shadow, slipping out of her clothes like a cicada shedding its shell. Clinging to the ground, it swiftly escaped from the Di Mansion.

"Not dead yet?"

It was the first time Fang Zhou encountered such an opponent. He quickly leaped forward, and the Xuanyuan Sword flew over to catch him, whizzing as it gave chase.

"Wait!"

Zhao Luofei, who had been dazed, suddenly snapped out of it and shouted at Fang Zhou.

However, Fang Zhou disappeared without turning back.

But shortly after, his voice was heard from afar: "What are you daydreaming for, hurry and enter the palace to protect Qiao Sen."

Zhou Tong and Yang Suhua finally regained their senses from shock, hurriedly went over to help Zhao Luofei up: "General Zhao, are you okay?"

Zhao Luofei shook her head, her expression bleak.

Fang Zhou had come in a hurry, only having enough time to put on a mask; he hadn’t disguised his body at all, not even changing his clothes, which couldn’t fool Zhao Luofei, who had been "cohabiting" with him recently.

Even if Zhao Luofei were slow to realize, she now finally understood she had been deceived; Ling Xiaoyue wasn’t a weak man needing her protection at all.

It’s also likely that even the name Ling Xiaoyue is false.

"General Zhao, are you coming to the palace with us?"

Zhou Tong inquired, as Di Ao had run away, and she and Yang Suhua also failed their mission, so they needed to return and report to Qiao Sen.

Zhao Luofei took a deep breath, suppressing her various emotions, and spoke deeply, "Let’s go."

The matters between her and that man could be sorted out later, but she should first return to fulfill her duties.

The three of them left the Di Mansion, swiftly heading towards the Imperial Palace.
