Chapter 28: You’ve Got It Backwards!
Chu Xuan replied with equanimity, "I go by the name Xu Ming and do not shy from it."
Ouyang Hao offered a faint smile, "Xu Ming? Good, you shall become the twenty-fifth soul to fall beneath my sword!"
Xu Ming?
Chen Ge and Wei Hua exchanged a look of confusion. Xu Ming was still cultivating in the Wu family estate. How could he possibly be here? The person before them must be an Infinite Sect disciple, concealing his real name and assuming the alias of Xu Ming.
"Are you still watching? Go," Chu Xuan chided them with a glance.
Chen Ge and Wei Hua exchanged a deep look, then quickly supported each other and left.
Ouyang Hao licked his lips, "You let my two prey escape. You'd better put up a good fight, or I'll make you wish you were dead."
With that, he suddenly swung his sword at Chu Xuan!
Chu Xuan smiled lightly, "You've got it backward."
He waved his hand, and Long and Bao suddenly appeared by his side, flanking Ouyang Hao from both sides. From the palm of his hand surged a fierce streak of crimson—the Blood Steel Wire!
Ouyang Hao's eyes flashed with disdain. Divine Star Sect sword cultivators specialized in sword qi. Qi Refining disciples cultivated Heavenly Star Sword Qi, which could cut through anything—nothing was invincible against it.
"To think you would use a mere gu insect to counter my sword qi, I have already slain three such fools," Ouyang Hao declared.
His sword qi accelerated, seemingly about to sever the Blood Steel Wire in an instant. He disregarded the two corpse puppets closing in from either side; eliminating this foolhardy demonic cultivator with a single strike would spare him any further effort, and the puppets would perish as a consequence.
However, the next moment, he felt his sword qi strike what seemed like steel.
Clang!
To his shock, his indomitable sword qi was effortlessly blocked by the Blood Steel Wire.
Xu Ming shook his head subconsciously, "Impossible. The top ten inner disciples are either dead or have defected; none could match Ouyang Hao."
"How odd that someone would dare to rescue you," Liu Zhengxiong remarked, his face showing a keen interest. "Regardless, this person is most likely a disciple of our Infinite Sect. It's surprising that such a disciple was overlooked. If he dared to confront Ouyang Hao, his strength must be considerable."
Liu Zhengxiong paced back and forth, clearly pleased.
Xu Ming, somewhat envious, commented, "Who knows? Maybe he just got carried away in the heat of the moment."
Wei Hua scoffed, "If it were you, would you get carried away and save us? I doubt it; you'd probably have run away at the first chance."
Xu Ming's face turned red with embarrassment, but he found himself unable to refute.
After pondering for a moment, Liu Zhengxiong said, "Where did Ouyang Hao catch up to you? Take me there immediately. We cannot let anything happen to such a disciple."
Chen Ge and Wei Hua immediately nodded in agreement. Moments later, the trio arrived at the clearing in the woods. The area was deserted, indicating that the battle had clearly concluded long ago.
"Could the fight have moved to another location?" Chen Ge scratched his head. Liu Zhengxiong shook his head, pointing at the bloodstains, fragments of flesh, and pieces of robes on the ground.
"The battle has ended; these robe fragments belong to a Divine Star Sect Qi Refining stage disciple. The blood and flesh were likely left by Ouyang Hao. There's a dense Yin Qi in the air, likely from summoning corpse puppets to fight."
Liu Zhengxiong thought for a long time, "Ouyang Hao likely escaped with severe injuries."
Chen Ge and Wei Hua exchanged looks of surprise that the cultivator could have inflicted such damage on Ouyang Hao—what kind of power must he possess!
"Ouyang Hao's injuries will certainly prompt the Divine Star Sect to conduct another round of searches in this area. Stay indoors these next few days and remain within the estate," Liu Zhengxiong instructed sternly.
"Yes, we will heed Uncle Master's teachings," Chen Ge and Wei Hua nodded.
"And what about you, Uncle Master?" Wei Hua inquired.
Liu Zhengxiong replied earnestly, "That disciple must still be near Peace Market, and being alone, he is undoubtedly in grave danger. I must find him."
Chen Ge and Wei Hua felt a surge of admiration; they had chosen to follow Liu Zhengxiong because of his humanity. They had not expected that even for a disciple whose name they did not know, Liu Zhengxiong would be willing to risk so much.
