Then he noticed that the Snow Woman was also there, which made him somewhat puzzled.
"Why is Miss Xue Nu from Fei Xue Pavilion here too?"
"I asked her to come back and teach Ningyan and the others Zhao dance."
"I see." Jing Ke nodded, then shook his head. "No, this isn't the time to talk about this. Did you offend Guo Xiu? Could he really be after you?"
"
Bai Yuan raised an eyebrow: "You could say that!"
"In that case, let's leave quickly! They outnumber us and have the upper hand, so we should avoid a direct confrontation."
Jing Ke immediately began to persuade him.
"Avoid their sharp edge? They're not worthy!"
Bai Yuan gave a soft hum.
Just then, a white bird landed and called out to him twice.
"They've arrived too. You all stay here for now, I'll go and meet them."
Bai Yuan learned from Fei Niao that Guo Xiu and the others were almost there, so he smiled and said.
"Brother Bai Yuan, I'll go with you. Although I don't know how you offended Guo Xiu, I can't abandon my friend!"
Upon hearing this, Jing Ke drew his sword and decided to go out with Bai Yuan.
Bai Yuan was stunned. He hadn't expected that Jing Ke, who clearly had nothing to do with this matter, would still be willing to get involved.
He nodded: "Okay!"
The two walked out of the courtyard and blocked the gate.
Not long after they came out, Guo Xiu led his men to attack them.
He rode a tall horse, wore armor, and held a long sword. He was surrounded by a group of guards, and on the outermost edge was a squad of Zhao state city guards.
Guo Xiu saw Bai Yuan and Jing Ke standing at the door, his face grim.
"So you know I'm here. In that case, hand over the Snow Woman and surrender!"
Guo Xiu immediately began to arrogantly command Bai Yuan and Jing Ke.
Jing Ke then understood how Bai Yuan and the others had offended Guo Xiu; it all came down to Xue Nu.
She really is a femme fatale!
Jing Ke sighed inwardly, but he completely ignored Guo Xiu's words.
Bai Yuan burst out laughing.
"It seems my warning to you last night had no effect. I really don't know who gave you the courage to talk to me like that."
He gestured with his right hand towards the void, and the Peach Blossom Sword appeared in his hand.
Seeing this, Guo Xiu raised his hand, and the city guards behind him immediately took out their bows and arrows, nocked them, and drew their strings. At his command, a volley of arrows would be fired.
"Courage? That's laughable! You should know that you are facing the elite soldiers of my Zhao Kingdom. That's my confidence."
Guo Xiu revealed a vicious smile and waved his hand lightly.
"Kill them!"
call out!
Countless arrows pierced the sky.
However, the scene that Guo Xiu had envisioned—Bai Yuan and the others being pierced by thousands of arrows—did not occur.
Bai Yuan held his sword upright in front of him and gently stroked the Peach Blossom Sword with his finger. A surge of sword energy emerged from the sword and spread out almost instantly, protecting him and Jing Ke.
All the arrows shot at them were blocked.
"How can it be!"
Guo Xiu's eyes widened when he saw this.
His bodyguard, Juekong, was even more shocked. Compared to Guo Xiu, a playboy who only knew how to eat, drink, and have fun, he was well aware of how terrifying Bai Yuan's move had been.
He certainly couldn't have stopped those arrows with just his sword energy.
Their bows and arrows were like toys to the enemy, like toys to a three-year-old.
Jue Kong realized that the person in front of him was even stronger than he had imagined, so he immediately stood in front of Guo Xiu and said to him, "Young Master, this person is definitely a true master. I am not confident that I can defeat him."
Guo Xiu's expression immediately changed upon hearing this.
He knew how strong Jue Kong was. Those who dared to provoke him before were all dealt with by Jue Kong. He never needed a second sword to kill someone.
However, the guy who stole his snow woman was actually able to make Juekong feel that he could not be defeated. How strong must he be?
But Guo Xiu was unwilling to simply slink back like that.
If they come in such a grand manner, but then leave with their tails between their legs, they will lose all face!
Chapter 185 I'm a respectable person, I have no interest in Feixue Pavilion
Looking at the soldiers around him, Guo Xiu gritted his teeth.
"There are only two of them, and there are so many of us. Surely we can take them down?"
Guo Xiu had no concept of what a true master was.
After all, he had always lived under Guo Kai's protection, and had been pampered and unrestrained since childhood. He had never come into contact with the powerful figures in the martial arts world, so he naturally lacked a sense of awe for such beings.
Hearing this, Juekong wanted to try to persuade him again.
But Bai Yuan wouldn't give them that chance.
With a gentle flick of his wrist, he unleashed the Peach Blossom Sword, activating the Peach Blossom Domain that enveloped an area of five hundred meters in radius.
In an instant, everyone present felt that the scenery before them had changed dramatically, with countless beautiful peach blossoms floating in the air.
Bai Yuan pointed his sword at Guo Xiu and the others, and the peach blossoms seemed to be drawn towards him, forming a torrent of peach blossoms around him.
"If this is the confidence you have to come looking for trouble with me, then prepare to die here today!"
Guo Xiu trembled with fear at the sight of Bai Yuan's imposing aura, which seemed capable of taking on an entire army single-handedly.
He, who had just been thinking of overwhelming Bai Yuan with sheer numbers, now completely regretted his reckless decision to come looking for trouble.
He already loses the courage to confront such a person simply by looking at them face to face.
"Protect me! Quick! Protect me!"
Guo Xiu roared, ordering the surrounding soldiers to protect him while retreating continuously.
Despite the pressure, Juekong drew his giant sword and stood firmly in front of Guo Xiu.
However, Bai Yuan considered these people to be nothing more than figureheads.
He only needed to use one sword strike to deal with these people.
Pointing the sword to the sky, countless peach blossoms converged into a colossal sword that seemed to reach the heavens. Almost everyone in HD City saw this wondrous sword appear in the sky.
There were no fancy moves, just the simplest vertical slash, which came down with a loud thud.
Standing beside Bai Yuan, Jing Ke felt the earth tremble, and then saw countless peach blossoms scatter.
These peach blossoms were all formed from Bai Yuan's sword intent. They appeared to be incredibly beautiful and harmless, but in reality, each flower was extraordinary.
With just this one sword strike, Guo Xiu and his guards were all lying on the ground, each with different injuries. Some looked like they had been frostbitten, while others looked like they had been burned by a fire.
Even this was the result of Bai Yuan holding back; he hadn't killed these people, he had only crippled them.
Jing Ke was also stunned, shocked by the power of this sword.
He even felt somewhat superfluous; Bai Yuan didn't need his help at all in dealing with these people.
The only one still able to kneel was Jue Kong, who was leaning on his greatsword to support his body, looking extremely disheveled. A very subtle spider pattern was visible on his arm.
Bai Yuan was slightly taken aback when he saw the pattern, then chuckled.
"I never expected that the son of the prime minister of Zhao would have an assassin from the Qin State's Luowang (a secret police organization) by his side."
"Hehe"
Just as Jue Kong was about to speak, an arrow came and pierced his throat.
Bai Yuan was not surprised at all by this situation.
The moment he unleashed his peach blossom domain, he sensed that there were others lurking in the shadows.
And the one who just made the move was that person.
After dealing with Juekong, this person immediately appeared.
He was dressed in black, holding a specially made crossbow in his hand, and cupped his hands in a respectful gesture towards Bai Yuan.
"I am Mo Yi. I have come here on the orders of the Prime Minister to kill the traitor who is trying to sow discord between Master Bai Yuan and my Zhao State. I hope that Master Bai Yuan will not be angered by the instigation of a petty person."
This person stated his purpose as soon as he appeared, and even defined the nature of the conflict.
Upon hearing this, Bai Yuan burst out laughing.
It seems that Guo Kai must have known about his arrival at HD for a long time and had been secretly monitoring the situation.
"Guo Kai, do you really think you can quell my anger with some random excuse? It seems you guys don't really understand me!"
Bai Yuan sneered and raised his sword again.
This really scared Mo Yi so much that he broke out in a cold sweat. He was still feeling lingering fear from that sword strike. What would happen if he were hit again?
"Master Bai Yuan, please wait! The Prime Minister said that he will personally come to apologize later. Please, Master, show mercy and put away your sword!"
"An apology? I can't accept that. What if they come and surround my yard with a bunch of people, forcing me to surrender?"
Bai Yuan gave a soft snort, but still stopped.
He knew this was quite a commotion, and if it happened again, the King of Zhao might come knocking on his door.
Seeing him stop, Mo Yi quickly said:
"Please rest assured, Master, this will absolutely not happen! The conflict between you and Young Master Guo is ultimately nothing more than a dancer from a brothel. We have no prior grudges against each other, so why should we ruin our harmony over a dancer?"
