Infernal Three Blades, First Style: Demon Appears

Mooncome Inn, Room Number One.

"Young Master, the ships of the Yagyu Family from Japan have docked at the ninth harbor."

"Today, after Yagyu Yuki entered the Huge Whale Gang headquarters, Zhuque came out, and it seems there was a conflict."

Liu He respectfully reported to Zhu Youji.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Youji nodded in satisfaction and said, "Well done. With everyone gathered, the play can finally begin."

Upon hearing Zhu Youji's words, Liu Ruyan's expression changed slightly, and she quietly added some tea to Zhu Youji.

After Zhu Youji took a sip of tea, he instructed, "Liu He, keep an eye on Vice Master Li Tianwen for me. See where he has been these past two days and who he has been in contact with."

"Yes." Liu He bowed and replied.

"Both of you, protect the Young Master well." Liu He instructed the two eunuchs.

"Yes!" The two eunuchs replied softly.

"Young Master, I'm leaving." Liu He said.

Zhu Youji nodded and instructed, "Go."

After Liu He left, Zhu Youji silently glanced at Liu Ruyan.

Liu Ruyan immediately understood and quietly replaced the incense.

The sandalwood wafted, emitting a unique fragrance that was intoxicating.

Zhu Youji silently enjoyed the tea, remaining silent.

The two eunuchs, however, felt drowsy and tired. Their eyelids became heavier and heavier.

In a half-dreamy state, the two gradually fell into a deep sleep.

Zhu Youji looked at the sleeping figures and asked, "How long can this sleep-inducing fragrance last?"

"Master, it would allow them to sleep for about three hours," Liu Ruyan replied.

"Three hours? That's enough." Zhu Youji stood up, put on a black robe, took a Japanese samurai sword exchanged from the system, and walked out of the guest room.

Liu Ruyan also put on a black robe, concealing her figure, and followed.

After a while, the two arrived at a secluded courtyard.

At this moment, the woman in the room had already fallen into a deep sleep.

Liu Ruyan took the woman to the firewood room, and the two returned to the master bedroom.

Zhu Youji spoke, "Change into her clothes! The people will be here soon."

"Okay!" Liu Ruyan didn't hesitate and changed into the clothes, lit some incense, and lay down on the bed.

Zhu Youji hid behind a screen, waiting for the arrival of the visitor.

After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a tall figure forcefully pushed open the door and walked in.

"Darling, I'm here... Hehe..."

A tall figure with a face full of rough muscles exuded a fierce and malicious aura all over. At first glance, he was a master of external martial arts.

"Hey? Sweetheart, are you asleep?"

"It's okay, it's okay. I'll accompany you to sleep!"

The man rubbed his hands, walked over with a grin, and his eyes were full of lewdness and wickedness.

As the man walked closer to the bed where Liu Ruyan was lying, his evil hands also reached towards her. However, at this moment, he suddenly stopped.

The man suddenly turned his head and looked at the sandalwood on the table, frowning. He silently adjusted his internal energy, and a hint of killing intent appeared in his eyes.

In the next moment, the man raised his hand, mobilizing his powerful and domineering internal energy, and ruthlessly attacked Liu Ruyan on the bed.

Feeling the wind behind her, Liu Ruyan quickly evaded, avoiding the attack.

"Boom!"

The entire bed collapsed in an instant.

Liu Ruyan's figure appeared not far away, and the man stared at her angrily, saying coldly, "Where's my woman?"

"Daring to touch the woman of Wei Yiyun, you've got some nerve!"

"Plotting against me?"

Yes, this man was one of the supplicants of the Huge Whale Gang, Wei Yiyun.

Wei Yiyun raised his hand and waved, and the palm wind broke the sandalwood on the table.

"Liu Mann never lights incense!"

"So, that's where the problem lies." Liu Ruyan's expression became serious, staring at the man.

"Oh I see, you are quite a beauty as well. Interesting. Since you took away my sweetheart, I'll use you as compensation!"

Wei Yiyun greedily looked over Liu Ruyan's figure, took a big step, and both hands showed a metallic luster as he made a fierce move.

Liu Ruyan shot out several silver needles directly towards Wei Yiyun.

Wei Yiyun seemed fearless, raised his hand to wave, and directly broke the silver needles, flicking them aside.

"Bang, bang, bang..."

The remaining silver needles that hit his body made a metallic collision sound, sparks flying, and fell to the ground.

"Hehehe..."

"Young lady, are you tickling me?"

"So comfortable!"

Wei Yiyun revealed an evil smile, staring fixedly at Liu Ruyan's face. A hint of cruelty and madness flashed in his eyes, and his entire body grew larger again, like a humanoid monster.

Liu Ruyan once again produced several silver needles in her hand, cautiously watching Wei Yiyun while constantly retreating.

"It's useless."

"My body is impenetrable; your small silver needles can't even concentrate Qi, let alone harm me." Wei Yiyun had completely seen through Liu Ruyan and looked extremely ferocious. It seemed like he wanted to defeat her thoroughly and then punish her severely.

At this moment, Liu Ruyan had backed up against the wall.

She had no way to escape.

A trace of despair flashed in Liu Ruyan's eyes. She was not aware of Zhu Youji's strength, but she didn't believe that someone of Zhu Youji's age could have much ability.

This was an eighth-grade martial artist!

In the martial arts world, someone at this level was usually in a high position, such as elders, protectors, or supplicants from various sects. Even in small sects, they could be sect leaders.

How old was Zhu Youji?

At most in his twenties. Even if he started practicing at the age of five or six, he couldn't have reached the eighth grade. Moreover, Wei Yiyun practiced Hard Qi Kung, making him extremely difficult to deal with, almost invulnerable!

"Hehehe..."

Wei Yiyun reached his large hand toward Liu Ruyan's clothing.

Liu Ruyan, who was close at hand, seemed to be on the verge of being caught.

Wei Yiyun's face grew increasingly ferocious.

Just at this moment, a figure suddenly emerged from behind the screen.

A palm appeared right above Wei Yiyun's head.

"Hmm?" Wei Yiyun was suddenly shocked. There was someone else in the room?

Wei Yiyun quickly swung his hand, intending to turn around and counterattack.

"Absorption Technique!"

At this moment, a powerful suction force suddenly appeared. His pure internal energy poured out uncontrollably and was continuously absorbed by the person in front of him.

In an instant, he actually felt a sense of weakness.

Wei Yiyun's face changed drastically. He quickly pushed away the person who was behind him, turned around, and gasped for breath. He stared fiercely at the person in front of him.

Zhu Youji slowly withdrew his technique, gradually dissolving the absorbed internal energy, completely assimilating it.

His internal strength had once again increased!

"Is it Kung Fu Melting Art or Star Attraction Skill?" Wei Yiyun, feeling the disappearing internal energy within his body, looked at Zhu Youji with a serious expression and asked in a cold voice.

In the martial arts world, there were four martial arts techniques that could absorb others' power to strengthen oneself: North Hell Divine Skill, Absorption Technique, Star Attraction Skill, and Kung Fu Melting Art.

These four martial arts had their advantages and disadvantages.

North Hell Divine Skill: Could absorb internal energy from every acupoint in the body, transforming it into the North Hell True Qi, which was both yang and yin. The yang part was as fierce as a furnace, while the yin part was as cold as ice.

Absorption Technique: Used extreme yin True Qi to transform the absorbed internal energy into one's own. However, there was a certain loss in the process.

Star Attraction Skill: Condensed internal energy in the meridians, using the dantian as a "black hole" to absorb others' internal energy.

Kung Fu Melting Art: Tempered with poison, it dissolved others' internal energy and was extremely sinister.

However, North Hell Divine Skill and Absorption Technique, two of the Four Divine Arts, had long been lost!

Nowadays, the ones that still appear in the martial arts world were Star Attraction Skill and Kung Fu Melting Art. However, due to the unique nature of these techniques, those who practiced them were generally considered scoundrels and were universally despised.

Typically, only members of Demon Sects would practice such techniques.

"Enough nonsense!"

Zhu Youji was not interested in bantering with a brute!

"Swoosh!"

A silver-white blade flashed instantly.

A Japanese samurai sword with a granite pattern drawn from its scabbard.

Zhu Youji gripped the samurai sword, and his entire demeanor suddenly changed. He became ice-cold, ruthless, indifferent, devoid of any emotion.

Those indifferent eyes seemed to belong to a deity, gazing at Wei Yiyun.

Ruthless Dao!

A mysterious insight instantly enveloped the entire room.

Wei Yiyun's face changed drastically, goosebumps erupting all over his body. He felt an extremely dangerous sensation! The last time he felt this way was when facing a ninth-grade master! Dangerous! Extremely dangerous!

Without hesitation, Wei Yiyun directly pushed open the doors and rushed out.

Escape!

He must escape!

This guy is abnormal!

However, how could Zhu Youji let him get away so easily?

Zhu Youji lightly stamped his foot, transforming into several afterimages and charging toward Wei Yiyun from all directions.

"Ironsand Palm!"

Wei Yiyun directly circulated his internal energy in both hands, consecutively striking out palm attacks in the air, forcefully shattering all the appearing afterimages!

However, a dazzling white light suddenly appeared in front of him.

In that moment, it seemed as if the entire world had brightened.

"Demon Appears!"

A sky-filling blade aura, emitting a strange and sinister atmosphere, instantly surged from all directions, slashing toward Wei Yiyun.

Zhu Youji swung the long sword in mid-air, and successive blade auras surged out along the samurai sword, ruthlessly hacking onto Wei Yiyun's body.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Successive blade auras continuously cut through his skin, tearing his flesh apart. It was as if crossing a mountain of blades, experiencing the pain of a thousand cuts!

"Ah, ah, ah..."

Wei Yiyun's proud skin, immune to blades and spears, seemed to lose its effect under the terror of the blade aura. The intense pain made him wail in agony.

It perfectly illustrated the saying: although this sword technique only had three moves, it unfolded as if gathering the most evil aura from heaven and earth into the blade. When the blade light passed, the opponent felt as if they were in the hell of a blade mountain, enduring the torment of a thousand blades and cuts!

"Thud!"

In an instant, Wei Yiyun's body was covered in bloodstains and blade marks, and he collapsed completely.
