Chapter 87 Still Too Young
"Don't blame your master if you don't return!"
With his right hand, he slammed it down hard on Feng Bugui. The terrifying force of the palm blew Feng Bugui's hair into disarray and also obscured his desperate eyes.
Just as the palm was about to strike his head, a dark shadow flashed by and pulled Feng Bugui aside.
Luo Wanju's eyes narrowed, and her right hand immediately followed up with a slap, trying to smash Feng Bugui along with the suddenly appearing figure.
He had the confidence and the skill. With just a light palm strike, he swept across the area like a raging torrent, seemingly intent on destroying everything in his path.
Yet, such towering waves crashed against a mountain, failing to budge an inch. In fact, the force of the recoil forced him to stagger back several steps before regaining his footing.
His internal energy surged, and he almost spat out a mouthful of blood.
"Who are you?"
At this moment, Luo Wanju was genuinely startled and quietly placed her right hand behind her back.
That palm strike felt like he'd slapped a lump of iron, leaving his right hand numb, and it hadn't recovered yet.
Seeing Luo Wanju's actions, Shen Che snorted disdainfully, "I haven't even used my full strength yet."
You, who only knows how to use hidden weapons, are going to clash with me? Are you really not afraid of ruining your hands?
"Who are you, and why are you interfering in the affairs of my Illusionary Heart Sect?"
He frowned slightly. Such a master was no ordinary person. Could his eldest disciple really summon such a master? What a joke!
Especially the other person's face; they looked like a teenager. A teenager beating me up? Impossible, absolutely impossible!
Unless they are truly top geniuses who stand at the highest point and look down on the world, how could they have such abilities at such a young age?
But if those geniuses wanted to deal with me, they could just ask, without me having to go myself.
Shaking his head, he banished such an absurd idea from his mind. But if not, then the person in front of him seemed far too much like a young person.
Those old monsters who pretend to be young all year round, although they look young, inevitably have the air of old age about them.
The one before me, however, was brimming with vitality, clearly a young boy. Could it be that the art of rejuvenation has become so advanced outside?
"Master Shen, thank you so much!" Feng Bugui, who had been rescued, looked sorrowful, but still tried his best to apologize to Shen Che.
"Master Shen?" Upon hearing this title, Luo Wanju was even more confused. The master of a manor? It's not like an old cucumber pretending to be young; what kind of manor master is such a young child?
"Which family's owner are you?"
"Shen Che of Hidden Sword Manor greets Sect Leader Luo!"
"Hidden Sword Manor? You're the new master of Hidden Sword Manor?" Upon hearing this name, some unpleasant memories instantly surfaced in Luo Wanju's mind.
Shen Che? The new master of Hidden Sword Manor? Wasn't he supposed to be just a half-step Xiantian youth? Why do they call this half-step Xiantian?
Forcing herself to calm down, Luo Wanju quickly composed herself.
"Master Shen, my Illusionary Heart Sect has no connection whatsoever with your Hidden Sword Manor. Does the Hidden Sword Manor intend to interfere in the affairs of my Illusionary Heart Sect?"
"No connection whatsoever?" Raising an eyebrow, Shen Che said coldly, "If I'm not mistaken, Sect Leader Luo should have been struck by Wu Feng!"
"What do you mean by 'no edge'? I don't understand what you're talking about!"
"The secret of my Hidden Sword Manor, passed down only through generations, is the Sword Without Edge! The Sword Intent of the Sword Without Edge: one cultivates the intent rather than the sword itself; though the blade has no edge, it can still shatter mountains and seas!"
"In the last fifty years, only one person has mastered it—the old master of Hidden Sword Manor, my father!"
As he spoke, Shen Che's eyes grew colder and colder, and a murderous intent began to emanate from him.
Even without Feng Bugui telling him, when he sensed the unsharp sword intent emanating from Luo Wanju, he knew that Luo Wanju, the leader of the Illusionary Heart Sect, must have participated in the ambush back then.
"More than half a year ago, the old master of my Hidden Sword Manor and his elite entourage were ambushed and none of them survived. And Sect Leader Luo happened to be hit by Wu Feng."
"Sect Leader Luo, people can lie, but they can't hurt!" Step by step, she walked towards the other party, and the invisible pressure made Luo Wanju subconsciously retreat.
I don't know why, but when I faced this boy, I felt an uncontrollable panic in my heart.
This was my own instinctive warning; how could I have been terrified without even realizing it? How could that be?
"Sect Leader Luo, when you used the Illusionary Mind Technique just now, I saw the hidden moment within it tormenting and tearing apart your sword intent—it was the Unsharp Edge!"
"Sect Leader Luo, you originally intended to kill your good disciple, but suddenly went berserk. I suppose the reason you suddenly went berserk was because you were struck by Wu Feng."
"You only become chaotic and frenzied when your injuries flare up. The intent of the sword without edge can harm both the body and the mind. If you had been using the Illusionary Mind Technique when you were fighting my father, the backlash would have been even more severe, just like now!"
"No wonder Sect Leader Luo said his days are numbered. Indeed, Sect Leader Luo doesn't have many days left to live."
"You!" With what she had been trying so hard to hide exposed, Luo Wanju instinctively wanted to kill him, but then she remembered the unfathomable strength of her opponent.
Just then, Shen Che turned around and appeared in front of Luo Chuan. Before Luo Wanju could react, his hand was already on the other's neck.
Luo Chuan suddenly became visibly short of breath, his face turning blue. With just a little force, his neck could be easily snapped.
"Sect Leader Luo, look at your nephew, he looks just like you!"
Seeing her own son injured by the other party, Luo Wanju was clearly hesitant to act rashly.
"What do you want?"
"Sect Leader Luo, you should know what I want to ask, so tell me what you know!"
"Okay, let go of my hand, and I'll tell you everything!"
Although Shen Che removed his hand from Luo Chuan's neck, the next moment it rested on Luo Chuan's head. With just a little force, he could kill him at any moment.
Seeing that Luo Chuan was only having some difficulty breathing and his life was not in danger, Luo Wanju breathed a slight sigh of relief.
"I did participate in the ambush of your father back then. I didn't know who he was, but he had something on me."
As she spoke, Luo Wanju's gaze fell on Luo Chuan, her meaning quite clear.
"He only asked me to do this one thing, and promised to keep it a secret from now on, otherwise he would make it known to everyone and even kill Chuan'er!"
"I don't know why he did this. I asked him before, but he didn't give me an answer. He just said that if I did well, he would keep our promise."
"You're an old hand at this, you wouldn't believe this, would you?"
"I had no choice but to believe it first and then figure out a way to prevent future troubles. But I didn't expect that there were eight other experts traveling with me, each of whom was no less skilled than me."
At this point, Luo Wanju showed a clear sense of apprehension. There were eight other masters of his level, and these were only those he had seen on the surface; how many more were unseen? Who wouldn't be wary!
"Eight experts?" Experts of the same level as Luo Wanju, with such a lineup, no wonder so many people were wiped out, not even a single survivor.
"These people all wore black masks, and some even used bone-shrinking techniques to change their body shape, so it was impossible to identify them."
"However, I know one of them. He is Mu Qianshan, the Grand Elder of the Changkong Sword Sect. I have met him several times."
"Although he tried his best to conceal his martial arts skills, the 'Sky-Piercing Sword Intent' emanating from him was deeply ingrained and could not be hidden!"
At this moment, Luo Wanju paused, her voice gradually softening. Looking at Shen Che, who was listening intently, she smiled slightly.
The next moment he suddenly soared into the air, his Illusionary Mind Technique having already begun to activate silently.
You're still too young; you don't know what it means to be in a dangerous world!
