Time Travel: I'm a Flower Thief

Yan Li's expression changed drastically. He gathered all his inner energy and pulled with all his might, finally managing to pull the Sword of Life away from Xie Xiaoyi's two fingers.

Now that things have come to this, he has no choice but to use his trump card.

"Xie Xiaoyi! Take this! One sword strike shatters the stars!"

Xie Xiaoyi certainly recognized this trick.

He had originally intended to use this move to directly counter his elder brother Lu Fang's Heavenly Thunder Punishment. If Xie Daoyun hadn't stopped him in time, they would have faced a life-or-death struggle on the spot.

He was fully aware of the power of this sword technique.

He dared not be negligent at that moment, soaring into the air on his sword, his figure rising several feet higher.

He no longer flew on his sword; the Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword was drawn by his energy and steadily flew into his palm.

Yan Li looked down on everyone, and with the sword intent of Shattering Stars, the sword energy, carrying the power of shattered stars, slashed diagonally towards Xie Xiaoyi above.

Xie Xiaoyi's aura suddenly surged, and his whole body seemed to roar like a dragon. He swung his giant sword down to meet the power of the star-shattering sword!

boom--!!

When the Shattered Star met the Dragon's Roar, the sword energy emitted by Yan Li's Life Sword was directly swallowed up by the Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword, like snow melting in a furnace, leaving not a trace of its aftertaste.

Yan Li was startled; this was no small matter!

He was confident that his "One Sword Shatters the Stars" move could kill across borders, but to his surprise, he couldn't even tear off a piece of the opponent's clothes.

Xie Xiaoyi's giant sword continued its momentum, not only shattering the sword energy but also smashing down towards Yan Li's head.

Yan Nangui, watching from the sidelines, was terrified, fearing something might happen to his sword-wielding prodigy son. He immediately spoke up to warn him:

"Li'er, be careful! This person's sword intent is profound; you must not be careless!"

However, Xie Xiaoyi's downward slash was already fast, and with the added momentum, it was impossible for anyone to avoid it!

Knowing the gravity of the situation, Yan Li had no choice but to raise her sword to defend herself.

A loud "clang" was heard.

The Sword of One Life was no match for the oppressive power of the Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword.

With a bang, Yan Li was slammed to the ground by a sword, and even with his indestructible physique, he was unconscious.

Yan Nangui rushed forward, exclaiming in surprise, "Li'er, are you alright?"

The martial arts community was greatly shocked.

No one expected that the incredibly talented Yan Li would be crushed by a single sword strike, with even his trump card and ultimate move easily broken.

Xie Xiaoyi's strength far exceeded their imagination; such a difference in their levels was truly terrifying.

Xie Xiaoyi, who was in mid-air, no longer flew on his sword, but instead held the Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword and fell from above.

The moment he landed, the greatsword pierced straight into the ground!

Bang——! !

The violent sword energy exploded outwards from the center of the Xuan Turtle phantom.

The group of martial arts practitioners who had been besieging Yun Qianxun and Murong Wei were immediately shaken and staggered back several feet.

Just then, a cold and sharp figure rushed away.

It was Lin Zhuoying, the cold and beautiful wielder of twin maces, and Yan Li's personal maid.

Ignoring Yan Nangui's presence, she grabbed the unconscious Yan Li and reached out to check him, finding him unconscious.

He was furious, and his eyes turned bloodshot.

She turned around quickly, raised her hands, and swung the two iron maces at Xie Xiaoyi!

"Xie Xiaoyi, you lecherous scoundrel, how dare you injure my young master?"

Xie Xiaoyi dared not be careless, knowing that she was extremely skilled in external martial arts and was a woman who could go toe-to-toe with his fourth brother, Hu Si, in brute force.

He immediately turned to the side, and with the momentum, he raised the giant sword in his hand to meet the attack.

clang--!!

The two maces struck the sword, creating a powerful rebound.

Lin Zhuoying's double maces immediately flew out of her hands, flying more than ten feet away before landing on the ground.

She herself was shaken so badly that she staggered backward, her blood surging and her face turning deathly pale.

At that very moment, Yan Nangui's furious voice suddenly rang out: "Xie Xiaoyi, how dare you run wild at Mingjian Manor?"

Xie Xiaoyi ignored him and casually flicked his wrist, instantly dissipating the Xuan Turtle Qi Armor protecting Yun Qianxun and Murong Wei.

The Heaven-Opening Heavy Sword cleaved through the air!

Snap!

The ropes binding Yun Qianxun snapped instantly.

Yun Qianxun suddenly felt a wave of relief and stumbled to the ground. Murong Wei quickly stepped forward to support her.

Although the two were freed, their eyes were filled with resentment and humiliation as they looked at Xie Xiaoyi.

Yun Qianxun's hair was disheveled, and her voice was shrill: "Xie Xiaoyi! Why are you like this?"

"You humiliated me like that before, and now you pretend to save me. I'd rather die than owe you the slightest favor!"

Murong Wei looked at Xie Xiaoyi without speaking, her eyes filled with a complex expression that made it impossible to tell whether she was happy or angry.

Xie Xiaoyi gripped the Heaven-Opening Giant Sword and glanced at the two of them: "The grudges here are not yet settled, let's deal with the present one first."

"Once this matter is settled, I will give you both an explanation, so don't get in my way now!"

Yun Qianxun and Murong Wei exchanged a glance, neither agreeing nor disagreeing.

Seeing that Xie Xiaoyi completely ignored him, and then looking at his son who was unconscious on the ground and Lin Zhuoying who was injured by the shock, Yan Nangui's anger had already reached its peak.

He raised his hand and shouted, "Surround them!"

Upon hearing the sound, the disciples of Mingjian Villa, who had been waiting for their turn, sprang into action and moved with lightning speed.

In an instant, Xie Xiaoyi, Yun Qianxun, and Murong Wei were surrounded.

Longswords were drawn in unison, their cold light reflecting the sun, their aura locked tightly in the center, awaiting only Yan Nangui's command.

"Xie Xiaoyi, you hurt my son and disgraced my manor. Today, you will be buried here!"

Before Yan Nangui could finish speaking, he slashed downwards with his arm: "Attack!"

Dozens of disciples from the mountain villa simultaneously unleashed their sword energy, and an overwhelming offensive suddenly pressed down!

Xie Xiaoyi remained unfazed, and slashed across the sky with the giant sword that opened the heavens.

"Sword! Xie Mo's blade is revealed, a judgment of life and death, a reversal of grudges."

A violent and unparalleled burst of energy erupted from the sword, transforming into a swirling tornado that howled and swept across all directions!

boom--!!

Wherever the tornado passed, sword energy shattered and figures flew about.

The disciples of Mingjian Manor who were attacking didn't even have time to cry out before they were lifted off the ground by that tremendous force.

In an instant, they were swept backward one after another, crashing to the ground with a series of screams.

Yan Nangui's pupils trembled violently—

What kind of sword intent is required to unleash this sword move?

Even Li'er and Zhuoying were no match for him. Just what kind of person is Xie Xiaoyi?

He's even more amazing than Mei Xingyao, the swordsmanship genius of yesteryear.

Is he really just a womanizer?

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the onlookers from the martial arts world all changed drastically.

They already had a deep-seated hatred for Yun Qianxun, and now that Xie Xiaoyi was clearly determined to protect her to the end, how could they tolerate it?

Someone let out a roar, and the entire martial arts community erupted in chaos.

"Everyone, attack together! Let's surround him from three sides. No matter how strong his sword energy is, he can't withstand the attacks from all directions!"

"Yes! Kill Xie Xiaoyi, then settle accounts with Yun Qianxun!"

Shouts rose and fell, and hundreds of martial artists moved at the same time!

Some charged forward, some attacked from a distance, some flanked, and some surrounded.

In an instant, a barrage of deadly attacks came crashing down on Xie Xiaoyi, Yun Qianxun, and Murong Wei!

Xie Xiaoyi pointed his giant sword diagonally at the ground, protecting the former Kunlun beauties behind him.

Both Yun Qianxun and Murong Wei were moved.

They never imagined that one day they would be protected in this way by the very person they hated most...

As Murong Wei gazed at Xie Xiaoyi's tall and straight back, a thought quietly stirred in her heart: "This man is handsome and has an outstanding figure!"

If he didn't become a womanizer and instead pursued girls with genuine sincerity, there probably wouldn't be many women in the world who would reject him, would there?
