"careful!"

Yong Weimin had thought that this battle would be a difficult fight for him and Madam Shi to help Nie Kewei defeat the Crimson Scale Beast, but the actual situation was quite unexpected.

But then Madam Shi slapped the back of her head, and a sword light, faster than lightning, flew straight into the depths.

Experts will know if there is one as soon as they take action.

Yong Weimin was also a master swordsman. As soon as he saw Madam Shi make her move, he knew that she was definitely a seriously underestimated master swordsman.

But as soon as we saw Lady Shi directing the sword light, it seemed as if smoke was spreading, which had long since enveloped the Crimson Scale Beast. The area of ​​several dozen feet deep in the cave was unknowingly covered by the sword light.

The swordsmanship was truly formidable, but the Crimson Scale Beast was equally formidable; its scales were like precious armor, making it difficult to injure, and its flames could melt steel.

After a prolonged and fruitless attack, Madam Shi's pretty face flushed with anger. Pointing at the sword light, she exclaimed, "Hurry!" The sword light gained even more power, its glow illuminating the cavern with a fiery red light against the backdrop of the deep lava, as it danced up and down incessantly.

Later, they simply surrounded the entire cave. When the sword light passed by, the solid rocks on the four walls fell like rain. Sometimes, even rocks that couldn't be melted by the subterranean fire were cut off out of thin air.

Fortunately, the 'Blood Bodhi' is not here, so it won't be accidentally damaged.

"What a sword!"

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

Yong Weimin couldn't help but praise, "Today is truly a pleasant surprise. I thought that with Han Fu's personal instruction, Madam Wang's swordsmanship was already among the best in the Four Phases Sword School."

However, compared to Madam Shi at this moment, the difference in their abilities is immediately apparent.

A casual talk about Lady Wang.

Even compared to Jing Gu, the Palace Master of the Sword Arts Palace, it's hard to say who is superior.

Amazing!
So awesome!

After the initial amazement came suspicion. Yong Weimin knew that this Madam Shi had once been famous for her "Seven Peach Blossom Sword Techniques" and later switched to the Han family's "Sixth Form of Sorrowful Clouds" to become the head of the Sixth Sword Pavilion. However, the sword technique she was currently using was neither the "Seven Peach Blossom Sword Techniques" nor the "Sixth Form of Sorrowful Clouds," but a completely new sword technique that he had never seen before. The sword light flickered and the smoke was hazy, which was truly mysterious and profound. He had vaguely touched the threshold of the ultimate realm of swordsmanship.

Yong Weimin was taken aback, secretly mocking himself: 'I also thought this Madam Shi was unworthy of her position, but who knew she was just being modest? Only today do I realize how formidable she is.'

His mind shifted, and he became even more respectful.

Then, watching Madam Shi wield her sword against the Crimson Scale Beast, the sword light, like smoke, prevented the ferocious beast from advancing an inch. For a moment, they were locked in a stalemate. Then, she cried out, "You two, help me!"

Upon hearing this, Yong Weimin and Nie Kewei immediately used their skills. The former also used a flying sword, but its light was far inferior to that of Madam Shi. The other used a strange treasure called the "Seven Star Ring," which was extremely hard and heavy. Once it was thrown, the seven stars shook, causing the Crimson Scale Beast to roar and cry out in pain repeatedly.

This time.

Unable to hold on any longer, the Crimson Scale Beast roared and opened its mouth wide, spewing out a deluge of flames that forced back Madam Shi, Yong Weimin's flying swords, and Nie Kewei's 'Seven Star Rings'. It then turned and plunged into the deep pool of lava with a splash.

This wicked beast was still defiant, and even plunged into the lava with a thud—

Puff puff!
He opened his mouth to swallow magma and then spat it out, venting his anger on Madam Shi and the other two.

Yong Weimin laughed out loud: "This guy is quite interesting."

After driving away the Crimson Scale Beast, Madam Shi collected six Blood Bodhi seeds, and the three of them finally left the Fire Cloud Cave.

Just came out.

The expressions on the faces of Madam Li and the others finally relaxed.

The old lady patted her chest and exclaimed, "Thank goodness! Thank goodness!"

Madam Qin said from the side, "We were quite frightened when we heard the roar of that strange beast just now."

Wang Xuanfu looked at the Eight-Finger Camel with admiration: "The roar of that strange beast is terrifying just to hear from afar. Elder Nie was able to fight and retreat. He truly deserves to be called a great hero who is famous beyond the Great Wall."

Nie Kewei didn't even look at him.

Yong Weimin felt strange. He glanced at Wang Xuanfu but ignored him. Instead, he said to Madam Li, "It was Sword Master Shi who directly defeated that wicked creature. I and Elder Nie were just assisting from the sidelines."

Nie Kewei was too lazy to socialize, and even ignored the old lady. He simply clasped his hands in a fist and said to Madam Shi, "Sword Master, please feel free to contact me if you need anything. I'll take my leave now!"

Everyone could see that he wasn't upset about Madam Shi stealing the spotlight; it was purely because Wang Xuanfu's obsequious flattery had provoked him. Nie Kewei, being a shrewd old man, naturally understood that Wang Xuanfu's deliberate flattery in front of Madam Shi was simply because he thought Nie Kewei's reputation was greater than Madam Shi's, that he was more powerful, and that Nie Kewei was currently frustrated and trying to gain favor.

Little did they know that their flattery had backfired.

Madam Shi smiled without saying a word, but she was not actually annoyed.

After all, she was indeed far inferior to Elder Nie two years ago. However, how could others know that she had a great opportunity to climb up to a top figure? As early as the founding of the Four Phases Sword Sect, Qi Sheng led her into that immortal cave, where she comprehended the sword intent of the second move of the "Eight Forms of Mist" called "Misty Smoke" from the "Misty Cave". She mastered nine sword techniques in one go and became a top swordsman, no less than Jing Gu, Yuan Duzi and others, and was only one step away from the ultimate realm of swordsmanship.

If she is truly weak and looked down upon, that would be truly annoying.

But with her strength and confidence, she simply smiled when underestimated and didn't care at all.

But others were unaware.

The atmosphere on the field was awkward.

Zeng Qi tugged at Wang Xuanfu, feeling extremely embarrassed.

Madam Qin's face turned cold as she rebuked her son: "Who gave you the right to interrupt here? Apologize to Chief Shi Jian now!"

Wang Xuanfu had not yet spoken.

Madam Shi interrupted first: "Elder Nie is indeed a respected hero from beyond the Great Wall. What crime has Fellow Daoist Wang committed?"

She laughed and moved on, then flipped her hand and took out six bright red fruits that she had just picked: "These are the rare treasures of the Fire Cloud Cave, the 'Blood Bodhi.' After swallowing them, they will clear away any poisoning, and increase one's power if there is no poisoning. They are truly a rare and extraordinary fruit."

Madam Shi handed it over, saying, "Please keep an eye on it and divide it up, Madam."

……

After settling Madam Li and the others in for a rest, Madam Shi left.

Madam Qin's face darkened.

The old lady smoothed things over, saying, "Who would have thought that Madam Shi was so capable? You shouldn't be too harsh on Fu'er."

Madam Qin retorted angrily, "Even if you don't understand manners, do you mean you've lost your brain?"

She pointed at Wang Xuanfu and scolded, "If he didn't have some real skills, do you think someone like Nie Kewei would listen to the orders of a mere woman? Fine! Let's leave that aside! Didn't you see how Yong Weimin's attitude towards that Sword Master Shi changed after he went there and came back?"

She berated Wang Xuanfu—

"Not polite!"

"Brainless!"

"You have no eyesight!"

Madam Qin's chest heaved with anger: "With the Wang family wiped out, we, the mother and the children, will all have to live under someone else's roof from now on. And you, the only son, can't even control your mouth. How are we supposed to rely on you in the future?"

Madam Li was thoroughly speechless by this veiled insult.

Wang Xuanfu, however, was more resentful and indignant: "What do you mean by 'living under someone else's roof'! That Qi Sheng is brainless; he betrayed the Netherworld Sect and offended the Qi family, the Dragon Head. If Han Fu hadn't chosen such a son-in-law, would my Wang family have suffered this undeserved calamity? In my opinion, Qi Sheng owes us, and Han Fu owes me—"

Snapped!
Before Wang Xuanfu could finish speaking, he was slapped so hard he was stunned.

Madam Qin was also stunned. She looked at the person who had made the move, and it was the old woman with a murderous look on her face.

Old Madam Li finally couldn't listen anymore, and her face turned cold: "Fu'er, you've spoken recklessly. I'm punishing you by not allowing you to speak for three months. Do you accept that?"

Before Wang Xuanfu could agree, Zeng Qi pleaded, "Grandmother—"

But when the old lady turned her gaze to him, her expression heavy as a mountain, Zeng Qi could no longer utter the words of pleading for mercy that were on the tip of his tongue.

Wang Xuanfu realized he had spoken out of turn, and seeing his mother and grandmother scolding him, he felt aggrieved and could only reply, "I won't say anything more!"

Shut your mouth!
I'm really not saying anything more!
