The blind girl is called a saint with a sword!

So, what about the large steel sword tucked at his waist?

The moment he drew the knife, Huo Tongtian's hand trembled, and he threw the knife away again.

She was a demoness so fast that she could truly kill without leaving a trace, so what use was his broken sword?

Now that things have come to this, Huo Tongtian can only think of one move.

Just as An Qingwan was about to move, he suddenly knelt down on the ground.

Bang bang bang!

He slammed his head against the ground repeatedly, quickly turning it into a bloody mess, splattering blood all over the deck of the large ship.

"Heroine, spare my life! I have no intention of being your enemy. It was the Prince of Pingnan who forced me to do this. I have elderly parents and young children to support. Please spare me, heroine! I am willing to serve you like a slave!"

As he stumbled along, Huo Tongtian used all his strength to crawl forward a distance of ten feet, then panted like a dog:

"Heroine, if you're angry, just stomp on me. As long as you're happy, I don't care if I'm trampled all over."

Everyone who witnessed this scene was stunned.

They knew Huo Tongtian was a shameless scoundrel, but they never imagined he could be this shameless.

Even the burly man in brown, whom Huo Tongtian considered a confidant, couldn't stand it anymore.

"Brother Huo, everyone dies eventually. Whether you die sooner or later, it's still death. Why make such a despicable appearance? Did you waste all those twenty years of martial arts training on dogs?"

It can only be said that there are differences even among petty people.

Huo Tongtian didn't feel ashamed at all when his subordinates scolded him.

You are noble and you are amazing.

What's the point of all this once you're dead?

Huo Tongtian turned his head and pointed at the burly man in brown, saying, "Heroine, this is the man who secretly contacted the Prince of Pingnan. He was also the one who suggested killing Xiang Dongnan. I had no choice but to follow him."

The burly man in the brown shirt was dumbfounded.

Can someone really bite back like that?

He looked up and saw An Qingwan turn her head towards him.

In an instant, a chill colder than the depths of winter engulfed his body.

"I……"

The burly man in brown was sweating profusely and tried to back away, but found that he couldn't move his feet at all.

He only saw An Qingwan raise her right foot.

But the foot wasn't aimed at him; instead, it kicked Huo Tongtian in the stomach.

"My dantian, my meridians, my martial arts!"

Huo Tongtian coughed up a mouthful of blood, rolled on the ground, and let out a deafening scream.

His eyes held a mixture of three parts pain and seven parts malice.

But as An Qingwan lowered her head, his eyes immediately filled with an indescribable gentleness.

“You did a good job, heroine. As long as you are happy, I don’t care if my martial arts are crippled or my manhood is destroyed.”

The burly man in brown looked at Huo Tongtian and couldn't help but gasp.

Can people really be this terrifying?

He suddenly felt extremely fortunate that he was going to die on this river.

Dying here, at least you'll die knowing exactly what happened—it was simply because you couldn't win.

If one were to fall into Huo Tongtian's trap and die, it would be a death that is both unjust and humiliating.

An Qingwan asked calmly, "Were you also involved in the collusion between the Prince of Heping and the Prince of Nan's Mansion?"

The burly man in brown clothes forced a smile and said, "Yes."

"very good."

An Qing nodded lately.

Under the moonlight, she suddenly transformed into a dragonfly skimming the water.

The white shadows drifted back and forth on the boat, sometimes high, sometimes low, making them completely unpredictable.

When she returned to her original spot, apart from Huo Tongtian and the burly man in brown, everyone else on the boat fell down one after another as if by prior arrangement, and they were all dead.

Huo Tongtian secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Although he lost face and his martial arts were crippled, at least he survived. As long as he was alive, there was still a chance.

You vixen, one day I'll make you kneel before me and become even more like a dog than I am...

A sudden pain struck.

Huo Tongtian's body trembled. He raised his hand and touched his neck, feeling the dripping blood and the cut throat.

"You...I clearly already...you...hehehe..."

Amidst the muffled bubbling sound, Huo Tongtian collapsed and died.

Even as he died, his eyes were filled with confusion.

He had already lowered himself so much, and An Qingwan had already crippled his martial arts, so why did she still want to kill him?

Just kidding!

If I kick you to death right away, how can I make you feel desperate?

An Qingwan sheathed her sword.

At this moment, Xiang Dongnan, Lan Xiaogu, and others had already boarded the ship.

"I thought you really intended to spare his life, and I was even thinking of giving you a good talking-to."

Fu Zhiyuan looked at Huo Tongtian's corpse and sighed.

An Qingwan said, "You should take this person into custody. When we meet with the Liangjiang Gang later, he needs to explain the whole story clearly."

She pointed to the burly man in the brown shirt.

Actually, she initially intended to let Huo Tongtian live a little longer, but since this strong man in brown also knew about Huo Tongtian's collusion with the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, why should she spare Huo Tongtian's life?

killed!

Xiang Dongnan said, "Miss An, are you going to the Liangjiang Gang? The Liangjiang Gang is known for its domineering ways, even more so than my Cao Gang. I'm afraid they won't listen to your reasoning."

An Qingwan said, "It's alright, I'm not going to reason with them."

She was talking about physics.

Xiang Dongnan opened his mouth, then remained speechless in astonishment.

Fine, let An Qingwan go and give the Liangjiang Gang a good beating, then no one will laugh at him.

At this moment, Lan Xiaogu interjected, "Oh no! That cripple has almost disappeared from sight, and the people on the other ships have also taken the opportunity to escape far away!"

An Qingwan said calmly, "No need to be nervous, I was prepared."

Already prepared?

Lan Xiaogu was taken aback.

She looked out over the river and suddenly saw another large ship sailing out from the side.

The person standing at the bow of the boat was Jin Xueyi.

It turned out that An Qingwan had already planned everything on the way to Yangxin County.

She didn't take Jin Xueyi with her on the boat. Instead, she had Jin Xueyi find a boat to leave under some pretext. One reason was that she was worried that Jin Xueyi couldn't swim and might drown if she fell into the water during the fight. The other reason was that she wanted Jin Xueyi to be a surprise attack, so that she could suddenly sail out on a boat when the fighting was almost over.

Humph, want to escape?

After hearing An Qingwan's explanation, Lan Xiaogu was dumbfounded.

"So that's how it is? So Jin Xueyi knew all along that Ning Buyi was the real Ning Buyi, but I wasn't aware of it?"

She felt like the sky had fallen.

It's clearly a story about three people, so why did she become an outsider?

Who told you to be unable to hide your expression?

An Qingwan's lips twitched. She drew her sword and leaped into the river, joining Jin Xueyi in chasing after the people who had scattered and fled.

These people originally thought they were out of danger, but suddenly Jin Xueyi appeared in front of them and An Qingwan appeared behind them, and they were all terrified.

No matter how panicked or how much they struggled, they could not escape being stabbed to death by An Qingwan's sword.

Blood spread across the river, reflecting the moonlight. Not only An Qingwan's enemies, but even Xiang Dongnan, Fu Zhiyuan and others felt a chill run down their spines at the sight.

Is this the sword of the Goddess of Xiaoxiang?

This sword strike on the great river was already terrifying enough; if it were to strike the entire martial arts world, what kind of storm would it stir up?

"Cough cough cough-"

North of the Yangtze River, Sikong Tingxue, who had just emerged from the water, coughed for a long time before finally recovering.

She gazed at the surging river.

The thin mist obscured her vision, but she seemed to see An Qingwan's figure.

"An Qingwan, I will have you pinned beneath me sooner or later. In this vast world, no one can surpass me!"

Sikong Tingxue murmured a few words, then turned and ran into the vast night.

She arrived in Jiangling on the afternoon of the following day.

To her surprise, as soon as she arrived at the gate of the Prince of Pingnan's mansion, she saw the Prince of Pingnan standing at the crossroads with a large group of people, seemingly uninterested in the affairs of Yangxin.

"What is this doing?"

A warrior from the Prince's mansion respectfully said, "Fairy Sikong, His Highness is waiting for someone. Two days ago, His Highness gained the allegiance of a strange martial arts master, who said he would arrive in Jiangling today."

Sikong Tingxue nodded and did not ask any further questions, because she had already seen the strange man.

A breeze blew across the intersection, carrying a unique fragrance and a shower of flower petals.

Then, everyone saw four women dressed in red, carrying flower baskets and scattering colorful petals as they walked.

Behind them came four more women dressed in yellow, carrying a sedan chair as they walked along the flower-lined path.

When the wind lifted the sedan curtain, a middle-aged man with skin as white and lustrous as jade was revealed.

He wore a jade crown and a Taoist robe, with sword-like eyebrows and starry eyes, like a celestial being banished from heaven.

The Prince of Pingnan immediately went to greet him: "Daoist, I have found the person you wanted."

With a wave of his sleeve, several women walked briskly to the Prince of Pingnan.

The middle-aged man looked around, and after a long while, he sighed.

The Prince of Pingnan hurriedly asked, "Daoist Master, are these women not to your liking?"

The middle-aged man said, "They are all excellent, but unfortunately, the best one among them is not a virgin."

The Prince of Pingnan was taken aback.

The middle-aged man raised his right hand, and the next moment, one of the women fell backward to the ground, a bloody hole the thickness of a finger appearing between her eyebrows.

He is already dead.

The Prince of Pingnan immediately roared, "Guards, seize all of this vile woman's family members! How dare they provoke the Taoist priest's anger! They must not be let off lightly!"

No one dared to say no, and the women who were still alive were trembling with fear.

Sikong Tingxue suddenly realized.

She recognized the middle-aged man.

Huanxi Daoren, a fake Taoist priest who couldn't be without women even when traveling, was a former lackey of the emperor.
