Song of Adolescence

Slowly, Wuxin reached his palm out towards Xiao Se, who was midair. The palm was directed at Xiao Se, but it was Lei Wujie who was hit first, and the force of it sent him flying to Ye Ruoyi's side. Ye Ruoyi hurried to help him up. "Are you alright?"

Lei Wujie smiled bitterly. "I don't think I can get up anymore. What's with Wuxin… why is there a dragon behind him?"

Sure enough, behind Wuxin, there appeared to be a heavenly dragon circling in the midst of his surging qi. Wuxin used his palm to strike at the sky and the heavenly dragon roared with a frightening might.

"What the…" Lei Wujie was alarmed. "What kind of martial arts is this?"

"Without Order Without Form, level nine. It will reveal one's true appearance in their heart. The appearance of the heavenly dragon… he is indeed Ye Dingzhi's son." Coming from far away, Jin Xuan had just arrived and when he witnessed this scene, he remarked with emotion.

Xie Xuan also stopped in his tracks and frowned. "He is almost on par with Ye Dingzhi's level when he was at his peak during the Demonic Cult's Eastern Incursion."

Outerheaven's most powerful martial arts, and their most powerful sect leader.

The Beili imperial family's most powerful martial arts, and their most powerful prince.

Who was going to win?

Xiao Se struck with his sword and shattered the phantom of the heavenly dragon. His sword of Fragmented Heaven aimed straight for the middle of Wuxin's eyebrows and Wuxin pressed the palms of his hands together, clamping the Heaven Breached sword between his hands.

"Wuxin, you're a monk!" Xiao Se shouted fiercely.

"Your name is Wuxin, but are you really without heart!" Xiao Se shouted.

"Look at me, look at your heart!" Xiao Se shouted again.

Wuxin really raised his head and looked at Xiao Se. A purple light flashed in Xiao Se's eyes.

He channelled all of the qi in his body into this Demon Enthrallment and exerted it to its extreme.

Suddenly, Wuxin was stunned, the qi behind him dissipated instantly, and the phantom of the heavenly dragon disappeared. Wuxin stared blankly at Xiao Se and murmured, "My heart?"

"Your heart!" Xiao Se bellowed.

Xiao Yu was shocked when he saw this, and he barked, "Long Ye!"

Long Ye nodded, pulled out a curved blade from his waist, and swept forward swiftly.

"You worthless thing. Always resorting to sneak attacks." An angry rebuke sounded, then a beautiful woman in white stood in front of Xiao Se and blocked the attack. Ji Xue's staff parried Long Ye's blade even as she suppressed the qi and blood surging up from her chest and she glared angrily at Long Ye and Xiao Yu.

"Damn you to hell." Xiao Yu also drew his sword.

"You're the damned one." A heavy voice sounded and Xiao Yu raised his head to see Ming Hou carrying Yue Ji on his back and standing on the roof eaves holding his titan blade. Wuchan spotted Wuxin and immediately wanted to rush to his side. "Shidi!" But Xie Xuan reached out to stop him and he shook his head. "Don't go over yet."

"Wuxin, look at your heart!" Xiao Se repeated these words over and over again.

Wuxin's eyes that used to look defeated suddenly gained clarity for a moment. Slowly, he said, "Xiao Se, can you stop shouting already?"

Xiao Se was overjoyed. He hurriedly retrieved the medicine bottle from his robes and was about to open it.

By this time, Ji Xue could no longer suppress the chaotic qi and blood in her body. Her vision darked and she fainted instantly.

Long Ye saw the change and rejoiced at the opportunity. He flung his curved blade and smashed the medicine bottle into pieces!

Xiao Se snapped, "Lei Wujie."

"I told you I can't get up anymore!" Lei Wujie retorted angrily, half-kneeling on the floor. He struck with his fist in Xiao Se's direction.

Unseen Fists, before the fist connected, the qi arrived first!

The potion that fell out of the medicine bottle instantly turned into a mist. Xiao Se stepped back to avoid the mist and instantly, the mist enveloped Wuxin. Wuxin closed his eyes slowly. 𝘧𝓇𝗲𝑒we𝙗noѵ𝑒l.𝐜o𝘮

This was how Baili Dongjun forced Mo Yi to drink the Meng Po soup back then. Now, Xiao Se and Lei Wujie managed to repeat the same trick and successfully saved Wuxin.

Xiao Se let out a long sigh of relief. "Lei Wujie, after knowing you for so long, this is the first time I thought, you can be useful too."

Lei Wujie slumped weakly to the ground. If he weren't leaning on Ye Ruoyi's legs behind him, he would be flat on his back. He suddenly realised what he was doing and had a fleeting thought… It's not so bad being injured. He closed his eyes and enjoyed the comfort of this warm, sweet and soft bliss…

But he was suddenly woken up by a slap!

Ye Ruoyi leaned over and grabbed his shoulders, her eyes reddened.

Lei Wujie immediately snapped awake. "I… I didn't mean to."

Ye Ruoyi slapped him again. "Lei Wujie, you can't sleep. If you fall asleep, you won't be able to wake up again."

Only then did Lei Wujie realise that Ye Ruoyi must have mistakenly thought that he wasn't going to make it and hurriedly shook his head. "I… I've just run out of energy. My injuries are not serious. I won't die, don't worry."

"It's finally over." Xiao Se carried Ji Xue and walked to Ji Ruofeng's side. "Shifu."

Ji Ruofeng nodded. "You've done well."

Xiao Se smiled and said, "Shifu taught me well."

Ming Hou and Wuchan jumped off the roof and landed next to Wuxin, flanking him on both sides. Their eyes glared at Xiao Yu who was standing right in front of them.

Long Ye retreated to Xiao Yu's side and said in a low voice, "Your Highness, should… we retreat now?"

"Retreat? We no longer have a path of retreat." Xiao Yu looked at the sword in his hand and sneered, "No, this is not over yet."

Xie Xuan turned his head to look at the long street outside the princely residence and said softly, "The medicine men haven't retreated yet."

Then, Wuxin was not the parasite host either?

So who on earth was the parasite host?

Xie Xuan looked at Ji Ruofeng and shook his head lightly. The two of them were probably the only ones most familiar with the poison parasite craft.

Ji Ruofeng pondered deeply and suddenly, he stiffened in alarm. "Xiao Yu, did you make yourself the parasite host?"

Xiao Yu sneered, "Why don't you try killing me and find out? But, if I'm not, Heavenly Revelations City will become a city of the dead."

"I have many ways to force you to speak," Ji Ruofeng said solemnly.

"Naturally, I've heard of Bai Xiao Hall's methods, but… do you really think you've won?" Xiao Yu scoffed coldly.

At this time, Tang Ze and Li Fansong had also arrived at the Yong'an Prince Residence. Xiao Se looked at Tang Ze and asked, "How are things?"

"The Hidden River Patriarch, Su Changhe, is dead," Tang Ze reported solemnly. "His body was taken away by Hidden River's Su Muyu."

Xiao Yu's expression twitched slightly. "Su Changhe, that piece of trash."

Ye Ruoyi lay Lei Wujie down carefully and stood up. "Xiao Yu, admit it, you've already lost."

Xie Xuan suddenly turned his head, his expression troubled. "Our old friends are here again."

Three people swept up onto the roof eaves, then slowly landed on the ground.

A beauty who could topple cities, Lady Consort Xuan.

The peerless sword immortal, Luo Qingyang.

Heavenly Revelations Grand Eunuch, Jin Xuan Gonggong.

Lei Wujie looked at Xiao Se, and Xiao Se looked at Lei Wujie. They were both speechless.

"I'm guessing that right now, the two of you probably want to hug each other and burst into tears." Xie Xuan dropped down beside them. "But what can we do? This is how the world works and we can't do anything about it. Enemies won't stop coming while everyone on our side is either injured or incapacitated."

Lei Wujie spread his hands. "I'm tapped out."

Xiao Se was helpless. "I can probably exert three sword moves?"

Tang Ze chuckled bitterly. "I've lost all my martial arts right now."

Li Fansong grasped the sword, but his hand couldn't stop trembling. "Shifu… I…"

"But you still have me." A voice sounded with a tinge of amusement. After the mist dissipated, a white-robed monk with clear eyes stood up. He turned his head to look at Xiao Se and Lei Wujie and wagged his eyebrows. "I was right about you two. The only ones who could save me were the two of you."
