Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Xie Xiaoyi secretly regretted it.

With his current cultivation level, if Qin Huaiyu hadn't intervened, almost no one in Zijin City could have done anything to him.

He originally intended to take advantage of the fact that the top expert in the imperial city was off guard, kill Wang Yu as quickly as possible, and then leave on his sword.

But they discovered that Zhang San had escaped in the chaos, and they couldn't bear not killing him, so they secretly stayed behind, and as a result, the saying came true—

Be petty greedy and you'll suffer great losses!

Seeing Qin Huaiyu's fist come down again, blocking all escape routes, there was no way to avoid it!

At that critical moment of life and death, five streams of true energy suddenly surged within Xie Xiaoyi's body!

The five powers—Ancestral Dragon True Qi, Dragon Essence, Phoenix Blood, Qilin Marrow, and Turtle Spirit—surged wildly, as if sensing their master's life hanging by a thread, and were about to burst forth from his body!

A surge of violent energy instantly coursed through Xie Xiaoyi's limbs and bones. Without hesitation, Xie Xiaoyi used this overwhelming power to deliver a powerful horizontal slash!

The butcher knife, imbued with the terrifying power of five streams of true energy merging together, slashed fiercely towards Qin Huaiyu's fist energy!

boom--! ! !

The sword energy and fist energy collided with a deafening roar, and the shockwave swept in all directions!

This time, it wasn't Xie Xiaoyi who was blasted away!

Qin Huaiyu was violently thrown back three or four zhang (approximately 10-12 meters), the bricks beneath his feet shattered, and his expression changed drastically.

"Impossible! You're only at the Starry Sky Profound Realm, how could you possess such power to repel me?!"

Using the force of the recoil, Xie Xiaoyi suddenly pulled himself up, no longer in his previous disheveled state.

He knelt on one knee, supporting his sword, his clothes fluttering and dust billowing, his eyes gleaming with golden light as he locked onto Qin Huaiyu!

Qin Huaiyu frowned, activated the Heavenly Gang Child Skill, and his body's internal energy surged once again.

Taking advantage of the moment when he was gathering his strength, Xie Xiaoyi flicked his wrist and threw the butcher knife directly!

The blade, crackling with the violent power of five streams of true energy, struck Qin Huaiyu's face like a black lightning bolt!

"A mere trifle of skill, yet you dare to show off your amateurish abilities before an expert!"

Qin Huaiyu snorted coldly and casually waved his hand. The black iron pig-slaughtering knife was shattered into a sky full of iron filings under his palm!

The next moment, a completely transparent, invisible aura appeared around him, completely enveloping his entire body.

Tiangang Dharma Image?

Xie Xiaoyi was startled, knowing that once he unleashed this move, his entire body would be protected by a thick protective aura, and no one could stop him when he threw a punch!

Back then, my aunt borrowed the energy of heaven and earth to forcefully enter the Earth Immortal Dao Inquiry Realm, which is how she broke his Heavenly Gang Dharma Form. I don't have that ability!

Qin Huaiyu, within the Dharma Image, emanated an extremely violent aura and coldly shouted, "Xie Xiaoyi, today is your death day!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he threw a punch!

The Dharma Image moved in unison, its enormous fist shadow crushing the air and pressing down on Xie Xiaoyi with unparalleled power!

Faced with this earth-shattering punch, Xie Xiaoyi dared not take it head-on!

He stomped his foot hard on the ground and unleashed the Divine Dragon Tail Sweep Leg Technique, his body leaping backward like a raging dragon, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow!

boom--!!!

The Dharma Image's giant fist slammed into the ground, causing the earth within a radius of several feet to collapse!

A nearby house, along with its beams, pillars, and bricks, collapsed instantly from the violent force, with broken wood and stones flying everywhere!

This neighborhood was where ordinary people lived, and the sounds of fighting had already alerted everyone, but no one dared to go out and investigate.

As the house collapsed, screams, cries, and shouts of terror erupted, and wails of agony filled the air!

Qin Huaiyu ignored it, and the aura of the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image rose again. The second punch was already formed and once again crushed towards Xie Xiaoyi!

As the top expert in the capital city, and with the imperial decree of Emperor Wang Jiling, he only cared about killing Xie Xiaoyi. The deaths and injuries of ordinary civilians were not worth mentioning at all!

Xie Xiaoyi saw that the second punch was coming even faster and had blocked all his escape routes. If he dodged again, he would only be hit hard by the third punch. What should he do?

Retreat means death!

Retreat or die!

His face darkened, and his killing intent surged!

The five true energies surged to their limit within his body, and the power of the Ancestral Dragon, Dragon Essence, Phoenix Blood, Qilin Marrow, and Turtle Spirit roared together!

With a backhand motion, he drew the simple, unadorned wooden sword from behind his back.

The next second, the five streams of true energy surging to their limit within his body were recklessly forced into the sword!

The wooden sword hummed incessantly, as if it couldn't withstand the overwhelming power, and the blade trembled violently.

Xie Xiaoyi's wrist suddenly flicked up, and with each sword strike faster than the last, he slashed four times in a row!

The first sword strike, its sword energy soaring to the sky, transformed into a giant tortoise phantom, its shell as thick as a mountain, and crashed straight into the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image!

boom--

The Dharma Image's ferocious offensive was abruptly halted, its momentum greatly reduced!

Qin Huaiyu was shocked: "What kind of sword intent is this? It's so powerful!"

Before he could even react, the second sword arrived—a phantom of a Qilin, its horns gleaming, aimed directly at the Dharma Image's chest!

boom--

The two immense forces collided, and the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image was firmly fixed in place, unable to advance even half a step!

At this moment, Xie Xiaoyi's third sword strike followed closely behind.

The sword energy blazed through the sky, transforming into a fiery phoenix spreading its wings. The phoenix's cry was deafening, and its sharp edge pierced straight towards the Dharma body!

The Heavenly Gang Dharma Image was so shocked by this sword strike that it involuntarily took a step back!

The fourth sword!

This was Xie Xiaoyi's attack, which had exhausted all his cultivation.

This sword strike transformed into two dragons, one large and one small. The two giant dragon phantoms coiled and roared, stretching across the sky!

The two dragons crashed into the Heavenly Gang Dharma Image, creating a deafening roar!

boom--!!!

The thick, powerful energy twisted and vibrated violently, and the entire Dharma image was blasted back several feet!

Qin Huaiyu's expression changed drastically within the Dharma Image. He knelt on one knee, his blood surging!

After suppressing the surging blood within him, he raised his eyes again, ready to unleash a fatal blow.

But all that was in front of him was emptiness—Xie Xiaoyi had vanished without a trace!

......

Xie Xiaoyi rode on the clouds, running wildly through the Forbidden City.

They dared not linger at any place, and with a quick glance, they spotted a magnificent royal palace wall not far away.

Without a second thought, he leaped in and silently climbed overboard!

The guards patrolled back and forth in the mansion, but fortunately he was so agile that no one noticed him.

They traveled swiftly and soon arrived at the foot of a two-story embroidered building.

Xie Xiaoyi nodded secretly. There were few people there, making it a good hiding place. He would rest for a while and then find an opportunity to escape from the Forbidden City.

As soon as they approached, they heard the soft sound of running water coming from inside the building, followed by a gentle maid's voice: "Princess, the water is ready, please take your time."

That voice... it sounds so familiar!

Xie Xiaoyi suddenly remembered—

Isn't this the maid who urged him to update his novel at the Jinghua Bookstore before?

Could this be the Jing'an Prince's Mansion?

Is the person inside Princess Wang Yuanzhi?

His heart skipped a beat: "The princess taking a bath... I wonder what kind of enchanting scene it will be?"

Since we're just killing time anyway, why don't we go take a look?

Overwhelmed by lust, Xie Xiaoyi quietly climbed to the window and gently pried open a crack in the window with his fingertips.

Looking inside, one sees a graceful figure hidden in the rising steam within the wooden tub, shrouded in mist.

That princess was really restless when she took a bath, she liked to stand up, which conveniently benefited Xie Xiaoyi.

"Wow! Not bad! A great figure with a perfect fit."

"Adding an inch would make it too long, subtracting an inch would make it too short, applying powder would make it too white, and applying rouge would make it too red."
