Chapter 107: Chapter 82: Diamond Barbie! You talk rules with a playboy? (4K)_2

---

Under the red martial robe, his body was burly and his muscles were bulging, sitting there like a crouching bear and a lurking tiger, giving off an intense oppressive feel.

It was as if a baby-faced was attached to the body of a muscular man, looking quite mismatched.

"Try this, this is the finest Purple Lu Spring, a real treasure."

Shen Shuqiu said with a smile.

The woman stretched out two fingers, pinched the delicate teacup, and tilted her head to pour it into her mouth.

She smacked her lips, unable to taste anything.

Frustrated, she picked up the teapot and started gulping it down from the spout.

Glug glug glug—

"..."

Shen Shuqiu’s eyelids twitched, feeling a bit of pain.

"Such a waste of heaven’s gifts! This pot costs ten silver!"

Li Kui set down the empty teapot, wiped her mouth, and asked, "It didn’t quench my thirst, can I have another pot?"

"..."

Shen Shuqiu felt that if this continued, he’d go bankrupt, so he jumped straight to the point, "I invited you today because there’s something to discuss... Recently appointed Cheng Hundred Households of the Ding Fire Department, I hope you can look out for him."

The Fire Department has two Deputy Thousand Households; Li Kui is one of them.

The two were General before and had worked together multiple times; they were somewhat acquainted.

Unlike the ambition-filled Lord Jian Yinsan, Li Kui indulged in body refinement and was not interested in these scheming plots.

That was the reason Shen Shuqiu approached her.

Li Kui shook her head, "You know, I never meddle in affairs of the Government."

Shen Shuqiu took out an ancient book stitched along the spine from his bosom and placed it before her, the cover reading "Pure Essence Body Refining Truth."

"I wouldn’t ask for your help for nothing."

"This book was written by Pure Element True Man, containing his insights and understandings on body refinement; it should be of great benefit to you."

Li Kui flipped through it, her eyes slightly lighting up.

"This really is a treasure. You’re actually willing to give it to me?"

"My martial arts focus on Refining Intent; this suits you better... And I’ve already copied the contents," Shen Shuqiu explained frankly.

Li Kui became curious, asking, "What’s your relationship with that Chen Mo? He’s worth all this effort for you?"

He’s my future brother-in-law!

Shen Shuqiu cleared his throat and said, "You don’t need to worry about that; Lord Jian will certainly target him. If their conflict intensifies, I hope you can mediate."

Li Kui stuffed the ancient book into her ample bosom, agreeing eagerly, "Alright, I’ll look out for him."

Shen Shuqiu nodded, "Thank you."

Li Kui added, "As long as he doesn’t violate any major principles."

Shen Shuqiu reassured her with a smile, "Don’t worry, Chen Mo always follows rules; he won’t cause trouble..."

Footsteps—

Bang!

Urgent footsteps approached, and then the door was thrust open.

An Assistant Officer came in gasping for air, his expression anxious, "Lord Shen, it’s bad news. Hundred Households Chen and Lord Jian have started fighting!"

?

Shen Shuqiu’s smile froze on his face.

←_←

Li Kui glanced at him sideways, muttering, "So much for not causing trouble; I knew there’s no such thing as free cultivation techniques..."

Shen Shuqiu: "..."

...

Huai Zhen Fang.

By the time Shen Shuqiu and Li Kui rushed to the training ground, the fight had nearly reached its climax.

Assistant Officers from various government departments had all come out, shoulder to shoulder, watching two figures clashing mid-air.

Just as Li Kui was about to step in to break it up, she noticed something amiss.

It seemed like Chen Mo was suppressing Lord Jian?

Clang—

Clang—

Clang—

In a blink of an eye, the two exchanged numerous blows, moving too fast for the naked eye to follow.

Lord Jian grew more and more alarmed as they fought.

His Twin-Headed Axe of Ziwu, known for being exceedingly tricky and close-combat, was usually hard to defend against.

But in front of Chen Mo, it barely gained any advantage.

Every time he made a move, Chen Mo was already prepared, as if seeing through all his tactics, aiming straight for his weak spots, forcing him into a defensive position.

Utterly frustrating!

Chen Mo’s eyes gleamed with a golden light.

Lord Jian’s movements appeared increasingly slow in his vision, giving him ample time to spot weaknesses.

However, this ability also came with limitations—

Firstly, it consumed Soul Power very quickly.

If he used it to slow down drastically, it could last at most the duration a stick of incense would burn.

Secondly, it placed a great strain on the body.

To keep up with his eyes, he had to fully activate the "Wind and Thunder Invocation," and his muscles were at risk of being harmed due to rapid stretching and compression.

"Lord Jian is a lot stronger than Chu Zhuo."

"Looking at the solidity of his Martial Spirit, he should be on the same level as my uncle."

"Pure Yang Realm’s Martial Spirit, signifies the understanding of ’Intent’, bearing a resemblance but with a different approach to Daoist Charm..."

Chen Mo was immersed in mysterious realizations as a thread of Qi within his body seemed to be stirred, blending into the Sword Intent.

"Oh?"

Li Kui raised his eyebrows slightly, his expression one of surprise.

BOOM—

Waves of the blade stacked atop one another, like mountains collapsing and tsunamis.

Jian Yinsan’s pupils contracted, his figure darted towards the mid-air.

One hand reached into his chest and pulled out a yellow talisman, just about to activate it, a dark golden gleam flashed by, piercing directly through his palm!

At the same time, the surging blade waves swept in, and a fierce behemoth burst through the waves.

Purple vertical pupil, wide mouth like a crocodile; antlers towering atop its head, a massive dark shadow trailing behind!

"What is this?"

Jian Yinsan’s eyes were somewhat dazed.

In an instant, his body was swallowed by the giant mouth.

ROAR!

A heart-pounding roar shook the nine heavens, scattering the clouds in the high sky!

The divine might wiped out a thousand barriers, its howl penetrating the clouds in a startling cry!

...

Qilin Pavilion.

Yun He was playing chess with a purple-clothed lady.

Within a few dozen moves, she defeated him utterly.

"I give up, not playing anymore."

Yun He slumped on the chair, utterly dejected.

The purple-clothed lady shook her head, "Boring, after all these years you haven’t improved at all."

Yun He furrowed his eyebrows, "If that’s the case, why do you still come to play chess with me?"

The purple-clothed lady, her left hand dragging her water sleeves, elegantly pinched a chess piece, her aura clear and dust-free, faintly stated, "Because I can’t beat anyone else."

...

Yun He was speechless, too lazy to bother with her.

Suddenly, both turned their heads to look outside the window, their expressions somewhat astonished.

"This is..."

...

Demon Suppression Department.

In the courtyard, a group crowded around a copper furnace, peering through the fire viewing hole at the Golden Core inside.

"It’s done, it’s really going to succeed this time!"

"Using demon marrow as the base, and Wandering Soul as the guide, after refining for 49 days, we finally obtained this ’Yin Yang Soul Repairing Pill’!"

"Ha ha, today we must witness the Heavenly Pill, to vindicate my ’Fourth Grade Alchemy’..."

BOOM!

Before finishing his statement, the copper furnace exploded, blasting everyone into black-faced, explosion-haired figures.

The furnace lid flew up onto the roof, hitting an old man dressed in coarse hemp clothes.

The old man, sunbathing and dozing off on the roof, was awakened by the furnace lid, about to curse when he seemed to sense something, lifting his eyes to glance far away.

"What kind of day is this, so many odd occurrences..."

...

Imperial Palace.

Inside Yangxin Palace, the Empress had just dealt with the memorial tablets, reclining on the Phoenix couch, revealing a smooth back and hips.

Feeling the moderate pressure applied by Senior Palace Lady Sun, her phoenix eyes comfortably narrowed.

THUMP—

Suddenly, her heart gave a fierce beat.

It seemed a strange aura was pulling at her, pushing her upper body up, her white bosom trembling as she looked out the window.

But it was only for a moment; the breath disappeared.

"Could it be an illusion?"

"It feels somewhat concerning..."

...

Sky Scale Guard Drill Ground.

Silence pervaded the scene.

Crowds densely packed together, gaping in stupefaction at the sight.

Visible was Jian Yinsan lying on the ground, his body drenched in blood, with a massive wound across his abdomen almost cleaving him in half!

The wound was bloody and mangled, as though it had been mauled by a giant beast!

Chen Mo stood tall and proud, head held high, wielding the Broken Jade Blade, dark golden light swirling around him.

It was clear who was superior, the victor decided!

Jian Yinsan looked up at Chen Mo, his face shaded by the backlight, yet one could clearly see a pair of purple eyes, shining like stars!

As if being looked down upon by a superior being, a rush of submission burgeoned within him!

Chen Mo himself was stunned.

That surge of Qi, once again disappeared without a trace, settling dormant within his Dantian.

"Is this a breakthrough?"

"That was way too fast... and moreover, why is my Martial Spirit like this?!"
