Song of Adolescence

Wuchan looked carefully at the four men in front of him before he said slowly, "They're the same as those men we encountered outside the First Tower Under Heaven."

"No, they're not the same." Ye Ya shook his head with a smirk. "These four men are martial experts I picked out of tens of thousands of people. They're much, much stronger!"

Ming Hou and Wuchan already had trouble fighting against those four people, and now, these four were even stronger… Ming Hou did not hesitate. He raised his titan blade that was as wide as a door, jumped into the air and slashed down violently!

The four medicine men tipped their toes and dodged the attack. Instantly, where they were standing was smashed into a huge pit by Ming Hou and smoke and dust filled the air.

Everyone would be pushed to their limits when they were caught in a desperate situation, and they would do the same for the sake of protecting those they care about. But at this moment, whether it was Ming Hou or Wuchan, they had already been forced to this point.

Wuchan smiled, steadied his feet and flexed his muscles. Then, he threw a fist move.

Vajra Demon Subjugation Divine Skill!

Among the four medicine men, the two armed with the sabre and halberd went for Ming Hou, while the two armed with the sword and spear went for Wuchan.

Ming Hou wielded his huge blade vigorously, his every move direct and aimed to kill, while Wuchan's qi imbued with demon subjugation was a natural bane for the medicine men. The movements of the swordsman and spear fighter appeared to be slower and duller than the two fighting Ming Hou.

Ye Ya smirked. "You two are stronger than I thought. This can be interesting too. If the prey is too weak, what's the point?" He leaned down and lowered his hand carefully. Four barely visible microscopic parasite bugs followed his hand, crawled towards the four medicine men, and bore into their brains.

"These are stone heart parasites," Ye Ya said softly.

The four medicine men stiffened for a moment, and Ming Hou struck the sabre fighter on his shoulder. But, Ming Hou's blade only sank a fraction into the man's flesh. Ming Hou was stunned; it felt as if he'd struck a boulder. Wuchan had also struck with his palm, but recoiled with a tremor. Ming Hou withdrew his blade and retreated sharply with Wuchan. They exchanged a glance and Wuchan remarked solemnly, "Their bodies suddenly became rock solid."

"Fine, let's see who's tougher." Wuchan's eyes flashed with determination and he exerted his qi forcefully. Suddenly, he seemed to grow an inch taller, and the muscles on his body bulged even more!

Ye Ya's eyes suddenly glinted with a fanatical interest, and he exclaimed with surprise, "Indestructible, impervious to poison, unbreakable as Vajra, and ultimate invincibility. I didn't expect I'd get to meet a successor of the Unbreakable Vajra Body Arts. Don't kill him. Keep him alive. I want to make him a medicine man!"

Wuchan shouted angrily, "You're crazy." Then he rushed forward and sent a fist straight for Ye Ya.

The swordsman retreated hurriedly and stood in front of Ye Ya to block the move. Wuchan's fist landed on the swordsman's chest. The Vajra Demon Subjugation Divine Skill was overbearing and his fist actually created a dent in the medicine man's chest.

"That's amazing! To be able to cause such damage to a medicine man infected by the stone heart parasite," Ye Ya praised with sincere admiration.

However, before Wuchan had a chance to celebrate, he saw the swordsman whose entire chest had caved in, raised his head and looked back at him with a gruesome smile. Wuchan was startled, and retreated frantically. But, the swordsman had already drawn his sword and stabbed Wuchan repeatedly.

The tinkling sound of metal colliding rang out as Wuchan retreated further and further. His Unbreakable Vajra Body Arts was naturally unafraid of ordinary blades and swords. But, this was the first time Wuchan entered this realm. He could feel his "golden body" starting to waver. Ming Hou jumped forward and slashed his blade down at the man with the sabre.

"How?" Ming Hou asked.

Wuchan gasped to catch his breath. "I thought I could sneak an attack on this guy. If those four medicine men were free of his control, I thought they'd be easier to deal with. But, I failed. My Unbreakable Vajra Body Arts won't hold up for long. We can only retreat first."

"The two of you have discovered a way to save this city but you only want to save two people. Little Master Wuchan, I think you need to study your Buddhism further." A lazy voice sounded. Wuchan and Ming Hou whipped around and saw a middle-aged scholar dressed in white. The man held a sword in one hand and a wine jug in the other while he sat on the roof eaves. f𝔯ee𝘸𝘦𝚋𝒏oѵ𝐞l.c𝒐𝓂

Confucian Sword Immortal, Xie Xuan.

"Are you Confucian Sword Immortal?" Ye Ya asked in a low voice.

"Yes, I'm Xie Xuan, the one who has travelled all roads under Heaven and read all books under Heaven. So I know what a medicine man is, what a parasite bug is, how to kill him and how to break it. That's why I've come for you." Xie Xuan smiled, shook the empty wine jug in his hand, and lifted his sword. "The thing I dislike the most is killing people, but I have to kill someone today. I must drink wine when I kill people. Only by drinking wine can I take down this guise of a scholar." He took a flying leap and jumped into the midst of the four medicine men.

The four medicine men armed with their sabre, spear, sword and halberd, swung their weapons at him at the same time.

Wuchan just fought against them and naturally, he knew how powerful they were. He couldn't help but remind, "Mister Xie, be careful. They don't know pain, and their bodies are as hard as iron."

Xie Xuan shook his head and his body swayed. "Didn't I already say this? I know them better than you all." Xie Xuan made a complete revolution, his body appearing like a butterfly fluttering through blooming flowers, darting among the four medicine men. The sabre, spear, sword and halberd swung fiercely but could only brush against the edges of his sleeve. Then, Xie Xuan suddenly changed his pace. His steps were no longer light and soft but became mighty and agile, like a divine god soaring through the sky on a dragon.

"Once upon a time, a swordsman came riding on the wind, his one sword alarmed the dragon three thousand miles away."

Xie Xuan's movements became sluggish.

His sword rose, and there was a sudden clap of thunder, overwhelming in power.

His sword withdrew, and there was sudden peace and tranquillity, like the crystalline water of a river.

Four heads flew into the sky, but no blood was spilled. Four headless corpses fell to the ground, stirring up a small cloud of dust.

Xie Xuan turned his head and looked at Ye Ya, his eyes seemingly intoxicated. "I just said that I always drink wine before I kill someone. But, those things I just killed are not really human, am I right, ghost doctor Mister Ye Ya?"

Ye Ya's face seemed to be pale even more. He was not afraid of martial experts, because no matter how powerful these martial experts were, they would definitely be stalled by these four medicine men infected with his various poison parasites. Nor was he afraid of other people who were proficient in the art of poison parasites, because they would not have access to such fine medicine embryos as his, and they would never be able to practise the art of poison parasites to his level. But he happened to meet Xie Xuan.

"The destruction of the Western Chu has proven that the art of poison parasites went against the Heavenly Law. Why are there people always willing to try it?" Xie Xuan shook his head. "It's really against the Heavenly Law."

"Who cares about the Heavenly Law!" Ye Ya suddenly shouted angrily, "Only the victor can declare the law! Yue Ji!"

The beauty who was as magnificent as the moon in the sky slowly walked out of the house again.

Ye Ya sneered and commanded in a stern voice, "Put your sword against your neck!"

Without any hesitation, Yue Ji flicked her hand and placed her corset sword against her neck.
