Fantasy: Empress Wife, Cute Kids Cause Havoc in Jiuzhou

"I was already expelled from the Demon Saber Sect."

The man sitting cross-legged on the mountaintop finally stood up and in the next moment, appeared in front of everyone. His cold gaze fell on the old woman, and he said indifferently, "Deputy Pavilion Master Long, what a skillful feat to have passed through Qin Feng's barrier."

His voice was soft and gentle, lacking the vigor a man should have, nor did it hold the softness of a woman's voice—it was very uncomfortable to hear.

The old woman glanced at Chu Xin beside her, who was tiptoeing and leaning on the railing. If it weren't for this little girl's intervention, I couldn't have defeated that Qin Feng.

However, this fellow in front of me had reached the Martial Saint Middle Stage several years ago, his strength is even stronger than Qin Feng's.

She stared at the man intently, her brows furrowed deeply, and asked in a serious tone, "You keep blocking the State Governor from entering the State Mansion, what is your true motive?"

"You don't need to know."

The man's soft and gentle voice rose again, his tone still indifferent, "Should the State Governor come with me willingly, or should I kill all of them before I take you? Don't even think about escaping; if you could escape from Qin Feng's hands, in front of me, Fu Tingfei, you have no chance of fleeing."

"Yin Demon Blade Saint Fu Tingfei?"

The old woman's face darkened, her expression full of deep concern.

Long Yufei and the others also drastically changed their expressions, a trace of fear appearing in their eyes.

"Is this lecher very powerful?"

Chu Xin tugged Long Yufei's sleeve and looked up, curiously asking.

"It's Yin Demon Blade Saint, not a lecher,"

Long Yufei corrected her, speaking solemnly, "His strength is indeed very powerful, but what truly terrifies people is not his strength, but the way he tortures his victims. The people who die by his hands aren't simply cleaved to death. They're tormented by his Bone Corrosion Blade Intent, which repeatedly erodes their bones, damaging all the bones in their body. Eventually, cultivators can't support their own bodies, getting crushed by their organs from within, and dying in excruciating pain."

"That's scary."

Chu Xin patted her little chest, looking frightened, and then patted Chu Chen's little shoulder, speaking with a prematurely old tone, "Brother, remember what dad said about using other people's tactics against them, got it?"

Long Yufei couldn't help but laugh and say, "You mean using their own methods against them, right?"

"Right right right, that's the one," Chu Xin nodded repeatedly, like a chicken pecking at grains.

"Hmm, got it!" Chu Chen nodded forcefully, his chubby little face taking on a serious expression.

"Don't be rash; this guy is even stronger than that Qin Feng," Long Yufei cautioned as she saw the two kids eager to try, hastily stopping them.

"Hmm!" Chu Xin and Chu Chen, the siblings, nodded their heads; they never acted rashly.

Seeing this, Long Yufei sighed in relief, then looked up again at Fu Tingfei hovering in the air, her face filled with worry.

"Now that you know my name, don't make any futile resistance."

Fu Tingfei's gaze fell on Long Yufei, his tone still soft and gentle as he said, "Come with me obediently, and I'll release you after a month. Otherwise, they will all die very painfully, including your two children."

"My children?"

Long Yufei paused for a moment, then turned her head to look at the siblings.

At the same time, Fu Tingfei's gaze also moved away from Long Yufei, landing on Chu Xin and Chu Chen, the siblings, speaking coldly, "The State Governor wouldn't want to watch her children's bones being eroded and then crushed by their tiny bodies, suffering torturous deaths, right?"

Long Yufei's lips moved, but she eventually said nothing.

Although the siblings weren't her children, she couldn't bear to watch them being tortured to death.

But if she went with the Yin Demon Blade Saint, the issues in Lanzhou couldn't be resolved—wouldn't that let her sister down?

"Fu Tingfei, with me here, don't even think about hurting any of them."

The old woman produced the Seven Star Holy Sword in her hand; Sword Intent surged around her. Then, with a flick of a Sword technique, she swung the Holy Sword, sending a Sword Qi slicing through the air.

At the same time, holding the Holy Sword, she became Man and Sword as One, following that Sword Qi into the ether.

"Just you?"

Fu Tingfei snorted coldly, swept his palm, and a soft, black Sword Energy slashed out.

With a thunderous crash, the Sword Qi was struck and shattered within moments, and the black Sword Energy continued without losing momentum, slashing at the Seven Star Holy Sword, the powerful force directly shocked the old lady in her Man and Sword as One state out of it.

"What a powerful attack, such eerie True Qi."

The old lady, holding the Seven Star Holy Sword aloft in midair, had an incredibly grim expression. A soft yet violent True Qi rampaged within her, continuously dissolving her own True Qi.

Moreover, a bone-corroding Sword Intent invaded her body, continuously eroding her bones.

Although both the True Qi and Sword Intent were not abundant, it took her a great effort to disperse them.

It was foreseeable that the longer she fought with him, the more True Qi and Sword Intent would invade her body, and eventually, even as a Martial Saint, she feared it would become increasingly difficult to suppress.

"I'll hold him off, you all run," she said.

The old lady transmitted a secret message, preparing to fight to the death, to buy time for Long Yufei and the others to flee.

Long Yufei shook her head, unable to leave her master behind and escape alone under any circumstances.

Fu Tingfei seemed to guess what the old lady had done as his soft and sinister Sword Intent burst forth. In that moment, it seemed as if something was activated, and suddenly within a few hundred meters, black Sword Energy emerged crisscrossed.

"Yin Demon Blade Formation?"

The old lady's face changed dramatically, she hadn't expected this man to have already set up a terrifying blade formation here, making escaping even more difficult.

Fu Tingfei sneered, "That's right, I am the Array Eye of this Yin Demon Blade Formation, and killing me is the only way to break the formation," he said.

He openly shared the secret of the Yin Demon Blade Formation, but the old lady could not feel any joy about it.

Fu Tingfei was already extremely powerful, and now boosted by the Yin Demon Blade Formation, his power was even more formidable. Who could possibly kill a Sword Saint strengthened by the blade formation?

She raised the Seven Star Holy Sword in her hand, True Qi madly surged into it, and a stream of Sword Qi shot straight up into the sky.

Boom!

High above, in an instant, there was a flash of lightning and thunder, and a terrifying Sword Intent resonated.

The old lady's face turned pale, and her body wobbled, but she gritted her teeth and persisted.

"Heavenly Sword, Evil Punishment!"

With a furious shout, she swung the Seven Star Holy Sword down hard, the clouds dispersed high in the sky, and a Giant Sword accompanied by lightning and thunder descended from the heavens.

In that moment, an overwhelming Sword Intent crushed downward, as if the whole sky was pressing down.

"Heavenly Sword Intent? Too bad your Realm isn't sufficient," Fu Tingfei remarked coldly, looking at the old lady.

He then waved his sword-hand, the Bone Corrosion Blade Intent triggered the Yin Demon Blade Formation, endless Sword Energy surged to the sky, converging into a black Demon Sword, slashing towards the Heavenly Sword.

With a thunderous blast, it seemed as if the entire earth was shaking.

The Heavenly Sword and the Demon Sword clashed, and the Demon Sword began to violently shake, seemingly about to shatter at any moment.

Fu Tingfei grunted, a trace of blood showing at the corner of his mouth.

Just then, the old lady suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood, her True Qi was cut off, and the Heavenly Sword consequently dissipated.

Fu Tingfei looked at the old lady with a cold expression, "The Heavenly Sword Intent is indeed strong, but unfortunately, you can't control it. Now that you are backlashed, your powers are greatly diminished, how can you stop me?" he said.

With that, he turned and dashed toward Long Yufei.

"Stop!"

The old lady shouted angrily, wanting to step forward to stop him, but she suddenly spat out another mouthful of blood and swayed, nearly falling from the sky.

"Demon, don't be arrogant!"

A small figure soared into the air.
