Chapter 1421: 691 Xuanyuan’s Revenge! (Added Chapter) Chapter 1421: 691 Xuanyuan’s Revenge! (Added Chapter) “Asheng, what were you practicing just now?”

“It’s the Xuanyuan Family’s Spear Technique, created by my father. There are seven moves in total. Do you want to learn it?”

“This… Isn’t that inappropriate? After all, it’s the Xuanyuan Family’s Spear Technique. How can I, a person from the Nangong Family, secretly learn it?”

“What’s inappropriate about it? In the battlefield, killing enemies, having one more general who is skilled in martial arts increases Dayan’s chances of victory.”

Xuanyuan Sheng had once taught him the Spear Technique without reservation. He treasured it like a precious gem and was so excited that he couldn’t sleep for several nights. He still remembers the moments when Xuanyuan Sheng was instructing him, so he could never mistake it.

This girl was using the Xuanyuan Family’s Spear Technique!

But this was just too bizarre.

How could a girl from an inferior country know the Xuanyuan Family’s Spear Technique?

To say that Xiao Liulang knew it, although it would be shocking, there was still a traceable reason, considering that Xiao Liulang indeed had intricate relations with the Xuanyuan Family.

Xuanyuan appears, and a hundred ghosts submit.

This is to say, even the ghosts of Purgatory fear the people of the Xuanyuan Family, so how could the living possibly be their opponents?

Nangong Li was acutely aware that this was just a girl who had not yet grown up. Even if she used the Xuanyuan Family’s Spear Technique, she wasn’t really… not truly a Xuanyuan.

Yet, a sense of fear instinctively surged up in Nangong Li’s heart, and his concentration faltered.

And in that moment of distraction, the “long spear” struck his right thigh!

After all, it wasn’t a real long spear, so it didn’t penetrate, but even so, his thigh went numb with a severe paralyzing pain.

The young man’s gaze was as sharp as a knife, his killing intent like a wolf.

In an instant, Nangong Li felt a familiar desire for battle, the hot-bloodedness that belonged to the sons of the Xuanyuan Family!

Nangong Li almost forgot to counterattack, until the agonizing pain in his thigh returned his senses, and he flicked away Gu Jiao’s “long spear” with his sword!

If he had had some slight hope before that the girl was not using the true Xuanyuan Spear Technique, by now he was completely certain.

But how could this get any stranger, right?

The people of the Xuanyuan Family had all died out long ago, so from whom did this girl secretly learn their Spear Technique?

It couldn’t be that she sneaked into the Nangong Residence, lurked around him, and secretly watched him practice martial arts, could it?

Wrong, he hadn’t practiced the Xuanyuan Family’s Spear Technique for over a dozen years.

It wasn’t that he didn’t want to practice, nor that the Xuanyuan Family’s Spear Technique wasn’t great, but because it was so powerful, few outsiders besides the Xuanyuan Family could learn it.

This Spear Technique required extremely high speed and strength, but not so much internal strength. Those with powerful internal strength tend to unconsciously use it in their moves, but this Spear Technique created by Xuanyuan Li required practitioners to withdraw all their internal strength into their Elixir Field.

Withdrawing is always more difficult than releasing.

Without care, the Elixir Field could be damaged.

The pain of internal strength surging into the Elixir Field – apart from the Xuanyuan Family’s group of freaks, no normal person could bear it.

This was also why he had given up on this Spear Technique in the first place.

He had once lamented that Xuanyuan Sheng did it on purpose, teaching him the Spear Technique openly because he knew that Nangong Li wouldn’t be able to learn it anyway.

But why had a little girl learned it?

Nangong Li’s mind was in total disarray, the events of the day unfolding one after the other, all beyond his expectations.

“Second move!” With a turn of her body, Gu Jiao swung her long spear like a blade, hacking ferociously at Nangong Li with the dominance of a vast sea and towering mountains!

If it had been a real long spear, Nangong Li had no doubt he would have been split in two by the girl’s blow!

“Vicious girl!”

Nangong Li slashed, breaking off the “tip” of Gu Jiao’s “spear”!

It wasn’t a real Red-Tasseled Spear anyway, so even if you chop off a section, there’s still a long piece left.

Without the spear tip, every section becomes a spear tip.

Moreover, Nangong Li realized after chopping it that he had been tricked.

The girl wasn’t trying to take his life just now. She intentionally angled the branch off by an inch, leading him to chop off part of it unevenly, not smoothly.

He had fashioned her a spear tip!

Gu Jiao looked at her “weapon” with satisfaction, her lips curling up as she said, “Now it’s not so blunt.”

Nangong Li choked with frustration, “You!”

Is that how you’re supposed to use the Xuanyuan Family’s Spear Technique?

The solemn spear technique, meant to kill ghosts and slay gods, how did you manage to make it seem so unserious!

Footsteps were getting closer.

It seemed he needed to end the battle quickly.

The shock this girl brought him had come to an end, and now he had to muster all his strength to face the battle.

Nangong Li snorted coldly, “The last time I fought with all my might was when I crossed hands with Xuanyuan Sheng, girl…”

Gu Jiao interrupted his words, “You’re talking nonsense. When you were being chased by Chang Jing and running all over the place, didn’t you use all your strength then? If you hadn’t, could you have escaped?”

Nangong Li stumbled and nearly fell!

Girl!

A man can be killed but not humiliated!

Do I have no face at all!

No, that’s not right, running away with all one’s might and killing with all one’s might are two different things. Chang Jing broke his arm because he was careless and underestimated the enemy. Standing on the arena, he definitely wouldn’t lose to Chang Jing!

Afterward, having been injured, he was even less able to confront Chang Jing head-on.

“Die, girl! I don’t care who you are or how you came by this Spear Technique, today you will die by this general’s sword!”

A terrifying murderous aura exploded from Nangong Li, and he wasn’t the only one who knew the Xuanyuan Family’s martial arts; he knew them too!

He had learned the Xuanyuan Family’s inner strength and swordsmanship. Now, let this girl see what true strength is!

Nangong Li’s inner strength surged like an invisible giant vortex, with dust and fallen leaves on the ground being swept up in it. He channeled his inner strength into his left hand, pointing his sword towards the sky with a rainbow-like sword energy that ferociously chopped down towards Gu Jiao in the air.

Puchi—

It was the sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh.

A look of smug satisfaction curled on the corner of Nangong Li’s mouth.

But that smile froze halfway.

Indeed, his sword had pierced through Gu Jiao, but it had only gone through her clothes. The sound just now was of her “long spear” piercing through his body!

Nangong Li’s eyes widened incredulously.

What had just happened, how had this girl done it?

Gu Jiao kicked his chest, and his body was pulled off the “long spear,” sending him flying heavily.

Gu Jiao rubbed her wrist, somewhat dissatisfied, saying, “The first time using this spear technique to kill, it was a little awkward. So many stabs and only now did I hit you.”

Nangong Li fell to the ground and suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.

It wasn’t from the injury, it was from anger.

Three moves… He had only lasted three moves against this girl’s spear technique.

And this girl was still not satisfied!

Blood rushed out ferociously, and beneath him a pool of it spread. For some reason, the scene felt familiar to Gu Jiao.

It seemed like in some dream, someone else also lay in a pool of blood like this.

Gu Jiao tilted her head oddly, trying to grasp the fleeting familiarity in her mind.

She moved step by step towards Nangong Li.

As life rapidly slipped away from Nangong Li, his consciousness began to blur. In his haze, he seemed to see Xuanyuan Sheng with the Red-Tasseled Spear walking towards him with a cold expression.

“Nangong Li, I trusted you so much, and yet you shot cold arrows at me from behind. Now you have your comeuppance?”

“Hey, Nangong Li, I don’t fancy the Prince of Jing, I don’t want him as my brother-in-law. Why don’t you marry my sister instead?”

“Hey, how did you lose again? A big man like you can’t even beat my sister!”

“Nangong Li, hold on! We’re almost at the Medical Hall! Who asked you to rush forward just now? I could have dodged it myself!”

“Hao’er, come here, he will be your playmate from now on. His name is Nangong Li.”

“Can he take a beating? If he can’t, I don’t want him.”

Nangong Li slowly closed his blood-filled eyes.

It’s said that at the brink of death, one sees the most important people and recalls the most important matters of their life.

He had known Xuanyuan Sheng since he was three, and yet, at the end, he hadn’t been able to shake him off.

Xuanyuan Sheng… you truly are a thorn in my heart!

Gu Jiao crouched down, looking bewilderedly at Nangong Li, who was muttering to himself.

Nangong Li, his face deathly pale, looked towards the blurry figure before him. The figure began to overlap with the image in his mind, transforming into the likeness of a young Xuanyuan Sheng.

As he spat blood, he started to laugh shakily, “Xuanyuan Hao.”

But he used Xuanyuan Sheng’s childhood name.

“Indeed, I deserve to die. I betrayed you, I betrayed the Xuanyuan Family, and my death is inconsequential… You’ve come for revenge… I’m not surprised… and there’s nothing… to be aggrieved about… but you… Do you really think all those past events were solely the doings of the Nangong Family? You’re wrong… hahaha… utterly wrong… The Nangong Family… weren’t even accomplices! They were just hunting dogs wanting to bite into a piece of the fat meat…”

With his last bit of strength, he arched his body, his bloody hand desperately clutching Gu Jiao’s clothes: “The one who truly harmed your Xuanyuan Family… is… is…”
