Chapter 1039 Another Annihilation
“…Then let’s wait a day.” Miao Qingjie gritted his teeth and slowly nodded.

Leng Tieya pretended not to notice his anxious and uncertain appearance.

Hu Yunni asked, "Only within a mile?"

Leng Tieya said, "I estimate that I might not be able to sense it from a distance; it's too faint."

Hu Yunni closed her bright eyes.

Concentrate and sense your surroundings.

With her keen senses, she could clearly perceive even the slightest change within a mile.

A gentle breeze rustles the leaves, insects disturb the grass, and fallen petals settle on the damp mud.

Every single one is clearly visible.

But none of this gave her any unusual feeling; she didn't find any remains.

There were no bones buried underground, nor the hand they described.

She opened her bright eyes and looked at Leng Tieya, still half-believing and half-doubting.

She was still unconvinced that Leng Tieya could sense things she couldn't.

Miao Qingjie said, "Mr. Sun, shall we get away from here?"

Leng Tieya said, "Let's stay here and not move around."

"Alright." Miao Qingjie nodded hurriedly.

Hu Yunni said, "You all stay here, I'm going to take a walk around the city."

"Junior Sister Hu..." Miao Qingjie pleaded.

In case the remains suddenly leap away, I won't be able to catch up with my own lightness skill; I'll have to rely on Hu Yunni.

Seeing his attitude, Hu Yunni sighed helplessly, "Fine, fine, I'll guard it too."

Miao Qingjie immediately beamed with joy: "Thank you, Junior Sister Hu!"

Hu Yunni waved her hand, gazing at the vast river and admiring its grandeur.

Miao Qingjie chatted with Leng Tieya, telling him some strange and wonderful stories from his travels around the world.

He mentioned the evil deeds committed by the disciples of the Yougu Sect several times, expressing his deep disgust.

Leng Tieya frowned deeply.

Hu Yunni said, "Besides the Yougu Sect, there are actually some other evil spirits who still roam the world freely."

“Yes, what Junior Sister Hu said is true.” Miao Qingjie said bitterly, “These evil spirits really shouldn’t live in this world. I just regret that I am too weak to wipe them out in one fell swoop.”

Leng Tieya said, "Young Master Miao, with Zhaixing Cliff here, you are not outnumbered."

“Sigh…” Miao Qingjie shook his head.

Leng Tieya looked at Hu Yunni.

Hu Yunni said calmly, "You only see the power of Zhaixing Cliff, but you don't know that as disciples of Zhaixing Cliff, you must obey orders."

Leng Tieya laughed and said, "On the contrary, it's not as good as my carefree and unrestrained life, where I can settle scores and enjoy life to the fullest."

Hu Yunni said, "Mr. Sun, your swordsmanship is superb, and you can settle scores quickly. But if your cultivation and swordsmanship are not good enough, then it will be different."

Leng Tieya nodded.

The three of them chatted about this and that, slowly passing the time.

From morning until noon, the sun is at its zenith.

Miao Qingjie went to a restaurant in the city to get some food and wine.

They moved a large stone over, shaved it flat with a sword, and then made three wooden blocks to build a stone table.

The three of them ate together around the stone table.

Hu Yunni finally removed her veil, revealing her beautiful and charming face.

Leng Tieya showed no unusual behavior, which made Hu Yunni look at him with more respect.

While they were eating and drinking, Hu Yunni suddenly turned her head and glanced into the distance.

It is the upper reaches of the mighty river.

Miao Qingjie asked, "Junior Sister Hu?"

"What I said has come true!" Hu Yunni snorted, "The evil spirits of the Yougu Sect have arrived."

"They still dare to come?" Miao Qingjie snorted, his face darkening slightly. "Aren't they afraid of being killed again?"

He turned to look at Hu Yunni: "Junior Sister Hu, something's not right. We've already killed so many, how dare they come back!"

In his memory, after a group of people were killed by the experts from Zhaixing Cliff, the evil spirits of Yougu Sect retreated and hid their tracks, never daring to show their faces again.

The situation is different now.

Despite losing so many experts, the Yougu Sect didn't back down; instead, they came to their deaths again.

This is truly unusual.

Hu Yunni frowned slightly: "This is indeed unusual. What do you think, Mr. Sun?"

Leng Tieya shook his head: "I don't understand these things. I only know that when I see these demons, I kill them all."

“Kill them all…” Hu Yunni nodded slightly: “They really should be killed… Did they find out?”

The sect's major operation should be kept extremely secret, but the Nether Bone Sect might still be able to obtain it.

Leng Tieya said, "Those experts who came to our aid probably haven't gone far yet."

"Is it really that bad?" Miao Qingjie took out a short tube from his pocket and looked at it with reverence: "This is the only signal we have."

Each disciple carries two signal tokens, just in case.

I've already used one, and this is the only one left.

"Junior Sister Hu..."

“I don’t have this,” Hu Yunni said.

She doesn't carry this signal; she simply escapes when danger arises.

If someone truly cannot escape, the signal is useless; even if it is sent out, it will be too late for rescue.

As they were talking, they noticed some small black dots in the surging river upstream.

Looking down from the small black dots, one could see men dressed in dark green robes floating in the river, occasionally diving underwater and then emerging again.

At first glance, it looks like a flock of ducks playing in the water.

There are more than twenty in total.

They went downstream and soon came to a stop a hundred meters away, looking at Leng Tieya and the other two on the bank.

Leng Tieya placed his hand on the hilt of his sword.

Miao Qingjie hurriedly said, "Mr. Sun!"

Leng Tieya looked at him with a puzzled expression.

Miao Qingjie lowered his voice and gently shook his head: "Bear with it for now."

Leng Tieya feigned ignorance, but in his heart he understood what he was thinking.

Hu Yunni snorted: "I'll just have to bear with it."

She understood what Miao Qingjie meant.

They were afraid that taking action would disturb the remains.

Leng Tieya loosened his grip on the sword hilt, turned his body away from the river, and decided to avoid seeing or hearing the water.

Miao Qingjie and Hu Yunni turned around, pretending not to see the Yougu Sect disciples. Seeing this, the Yougu Sect experts continued downstream.

When they were about ten feet away from where Leng Tieya and the other two were, six experts from the Yougu Sect flew out of the river and rushed towards them.

"Let's go!" Miao Qingjie hurriedly said, "Mr. Sun, let's go first!"

As he spoke, he leaped into the river, skimming downstream, his toes occasionally touching the water as he moved at incredible speed.

Leng Tieya shook his head and looked at Hu Yunni.

Hu Yunni snorted, "Let's go."

She rose slowly, skimmed across the river, reached the other bank, and flew into the distance.

Leng Tieya then followed her.

As he walked alongside Hu Yunni, he shook his head and said, "This can be described as bearing humiliation and carrying a heavy burden."

"There's no other way," Hu Yunni said. "The ambitions are far too great."

Leng Tieya said, "I'm afraid that in the end it will all be for nothing, leaving me frustrated and with nothing to show for it."

Hu Yunni said, "Let's try our luck. What excellent lightness skill, Mr. Sun."

“Miss Hu, we’re in the same boat,” Leng Tieya said.

Hu Yunni said, "Seeing Mr. Sun reminds me of a guy."

Leng Tieya laughed and asked, "Is she a friend or an enemy of the young lady?"

Hu Yunni snorted, "An enemy I must get rid of as soon as possible."

"Miss Hu doesn't like me."

Leng Tieya felt a chill run down his spine.

Hu Yunni is quite perceptive; she must have thought of Chu Liezhao.

He and Chu Liezhao were completely different in appearance and build, one being human and the other a demon, but their souls were connected.

Hu Yunni could actually sense this similarity in their souls.

"That's not the case. You've helped Senior Brother Miao a lot, and he trusts you a lot."

"That girl doesn't believe me."

"Let's see what happens..."

They talked as they sped along.

The four Nether Bone Sect experts behind them got further and further away, and eventually they gave up the chase and turned back.

Hu Yunni twisted her body and leaped to the other side of the river, then sped off in the direction she had come from.

Soon they saw Miao Qingjie, who was fighting with two experts from the Yougu Sect on a mountaintop.

Hu Yunni suddenly stopped.

Leng Tieya stopped as well, and seeing her staring intently in that direction, he asked, "Miss Hu, is something wrong?"

"Something's off with these two." Hu Yunni frowned slightly. "Something's very off."

"What's wrong?" Leng Tieya asked curiously.

Hu Yunni shook her head slightly: "It feels very dangerous... It's best to stay away."

“Then I’ll go,” Leng Tieya said.

His figure flashed and suddenly disappeared from the spot. He flickered several times in the mountains and forests and appeared behind a master of the Yougu Sect.

A flash of sword light slashed across the neck of one of the Nether Bone Sect experts, followed by another.

He dragged Miao Qingjie to a spot three zhang away, where they looked at the two headless corpses.

"Tsk! Tsk!"

Amidst the soft whistling, two bursts of white light suddenly shot out from their chests.

The white light diffused into two beams, instantly penetrating the ground and forming two bottomless circular holes.

"Hey!" Miao Qingjie was startled.

The two white lights were too fast, too fast to react. Luckily, I retreated ten steps in advance, otherwise I would have had no chance of escaping.

Leng Tieya looked at Hu Yunni, who was floating over: "Miss Hu, is this their trump card?"

Hu Yunni floated to the two headless corpses that stood upright, her expression solemn, and slowly said, "This is the first time I've seen this."

The fact that two experts from the Yougu Sect used this move was clearly not a coincidence, but rather a new trump card.

Now they are in much greater danger.

Upon seeing the white light, she was inexplicably alarmed and concluded that it posed a deadly threat.

Leng Tieya said, "I wonder if other demons know this trick."

"It's pretty close to the truth." Hu Yunni sighed. "We need to report this to the clan."

Miao Qingjie nodded hurriedly.

He then asked, "Mr. Sun, I wonder if the remains have been disturbed?"

This earned Hu Yunni a glare.

Leng Tieya closed his eyes, concentrated for a moment, and then shook his head: "I can't sense it. I have to go back and check."

They then turned back from the other side of the mountain, avoiding the experts of the Yougu Sect.

When they arrived at their previous location, the experts from the Nether Bone Sect had already left.

To Miao Qingjie's delight, the remains were not disturbed.

Leng Tieya told them to stay there for the time being, while he went to eliminate these experts from the Yougu Sect.

The killer moves of these Nether Bone Sect experts were ineffective against him; they were too slow.

The river quickly carried away headless corpses, and none of the more than twenty experts from the Nether Bone Sect survived.

All of this was observed by Hu Yunni, who stood atop the mountain and looked down upon this side.

When Leng Tieya returned to their side, Hu Yunni looked him up and down.

Leng Tieya smiled: "What's wrong with Miss Hu?"

"Indeed, excellent swordsmanship and movement." Hu Yunni asked, "What kind of swordsmanship is this?"

Leng Tieya said, "I don't know the name of this sword technique either, so let's just call it Nameless."

"Such swordsmanship is rare in the world." Hu Yunni shook her head slightly: "It shouldn't be unknown... It has a bit of the demon race's influence."

Leng Tieya was taken aback: "Demons?"

Hu Yunni nodded gently: "The sword technique you practice might be an adaptation of the Demon Clan's sword technique, or even the Demon Clan's most advanced sword technique."

Leng Tieya was half-believing and half-doubting, but inwardly amazed.

Hu Yunni has such broad knowledge that she could actually see the shadow of the Leng Family Nine Swords in my sword technique.

This sword technique is a fusion of the Leng Clan's Nine Swords and the sword techniques of the demon race.

After mastering the sword techniques of several divine clan martial arts, his swordsmanship became extremely profound.

He combined the demon race's sword techniques with the Leng family's Nine Swords to create the sword technique before him.

Its power is indeed astonishing.

They originally thought that no one in the world could recognize them, but unexpectedly Hu Yunni noticed something.
