Xiang Xueer felt a twitch at the corner of her eye and glanced to the left, where she saw a handsome young man in a white robe, looking to be in his twenties. His long black hair was tied up at the top of his head, adorned with a jade hairpin, and he exuded an aura of righteousness. His sharp eyebrows framed piercing eyes that were glaring angrily at her.
Oh, there are handsome men among Taoists too. Xiang Xueer squinted as she assessed the man before her. To be honest, he did resemble Huo Jianhua a bit, but I have important matters to attend to right now and no time for flirting.
With that thought, she took a step back and looked at the swarm of rats continuously pouring into the Taoist temple. She quickly explained, "Don't misunderstand me; I'm not a demon. I'm an Exorcist!"
Exorcist? The man stared at her in shock for a moment, then his gaze fell on her Red Eyes. His handsome brows furrowed tightly as he shouted, raising his sword and lunging toward her fiercely, "Do you think I'm a three-year-old? How dare you impersonate an Exorcist? Take this!"
Although this man had a decent face, he was clearly judgmental based on appearance. Hmph! Xiang Xueer snorted coldly. Although she was anxious to find the Fire Rat, this person was intent on killing her. While she didn't want to hurt him, for the sake of the Kongtong Seal, she had no choice but to take him down first before proceeding with her business!
Xiang Xueer swiftly spun her sword, and with several quick strikes, she knocked the sword from the man's hand onto the ground. She then kicked him down effortlessly.
"Sorry, I have important matters to attend to and don't want to waste time with you!" Xiang Xueer said as she picked up her sword and headed toward the main entrance. Suddenly, the man struggled to get up from the ground and shouted loudly, "Witch! As long as I still draw breath, you will not set foot into my Southern Mountain of the Five Peaks temple!"
This guy is really stubborn. Xiang Xueer couldn't help but frown. Although she had held back her strength in that kick, it should have been enough to incapacitate him. Yet this man dared to fight again. Impressive; it seems that Southern Mountain of the Five Peaks has such men; she found it quite admirable.
A group of disciples from Southern Mountain of the Five Peaks who were battling the swarm of rats witnessed what had just happened and rushed toward her to assist. "Ming Zheng, Senior Brother! We're here to help you!"
Xiang Xueer turned her head to look around and found herself surrounded by several disciples from the temple in an instant. Damn it, what a troublesome bunch; they are quite difficult to deal with.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Several people moved in unison as they turned their swords toward Xiang Xueer. The one called Ming Zheng immediately shouted, "Brothers and Sisters, use Five Peaks Nine Styles!"
Before Xiang Xueer could react, nine people advanced toward her in formation like a high wall—five below, three in the middle, and one above—raising their swords to attack her.
Two fists are no match for four hands. In just a short while, she was starting to feel overwhelmed. That despicable Daoist, without distinguishing friend from foe, actually attacked her. She was here to help, yet he couldn't tell the difference.
It's ridiculous that at such a critical moment, she was wasting time with these idiots. If this continued, the Fire Rat would definitely seize the Kongtong Seal first, and their plans would be ruined.
"Ah!" Xiang Xueer shouted in anger, channeling all her true energy and instantly sending the nine attackers flying several meters away, leaving them sprawled on the ground unable to move.
"Hmph!" She withdrew her true energy, brandishing the Azure Wind Sword as she walked toward the main entrance. When she reached Ming Zheng, she glared at him with her Red Eyes and said, "I don't want to hurt you, but I have important matters to attend to. Don't try to stop me again; otherwise, next time I won't let you off so easily!"
Ming Zheng clutched his chest with one hand, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth. He hadn't expected her power to be so great that she could easily break through their Nine Styles of Five Peaks with just her magical energy.
What puzzled him most was that if she were truly a demon, she could have taken his life several times over. Why did she show mercy this time? Could she really be an Exorcist? Yet those red eyes clearly looked demonic.
Confused, he struggled a few times before finally collapsing to the ground, too weak to continue fighting. The swarm of rats rushing into the main entrance also infuriated Xiang Xueer. She turned around and raised her Azure Wind Sword, sweeping it toward the rat horde. The sword energy was fierce, and in an instant, all the rats within a hundred meters were obliterated, not leaving even a bone behind.
"Annoying rats, get lost!" A killing intent flashed in Xiang Xueer's eyes. Instantly, the rat swarm stirred in panic as each little demon with red eyes scurried back into their burrows underground, not daring to show their faces again.
"It's safe now!" Xiang Xueer glanced at Ming Zheng lying on the ground. His astonished gaze took in everything before him; he could hardly believe that despite losing many disciples of the Five Peaks, they hadn't managed to eliminate this group of damned rats. Yet this girl had merely shouted once and scared them all back into their holes.
Ming Zheng looked up at Xiang Xueer in surprise. Clearly, this girl was no ordinary person. Unable to contain himself, he stammered out a question: "W-what exactly are you?"
Xiang Xueer smiled charmingly, raising her Azure Wind Sword as she stepped into the Daoist temple's entrance and waved her hand dismissively. "Don't worship me; I'm just a legend!"
The feeling of being a hero was wonderful. Xiang Xueer couldn't help but feel a surge of excitement inside her. However, as soon as she entered the temple, her good mood vanished instantly. The interior was in complete disarray; there were signs of battle everywhere. Even the towering statue of an old Daoist priest in the main hall had been smashed to pieces and lay in ruins.
It seems that when I was blocked outside by those idiots earlier, I actually missed a good show. This must not be the doing of the Fat Ancestor and the Spirit Clan; damaging someone else's Daoist temple will cost money, those guys.
Where is Fire Rat? The first thought that crossed Xiang Xueer's mind was this. The rat swarm had ravaged the temple, and that guy must be nearby. After scanning the main hall, she turned her head towards the winding staircase beside her and hurriedly made her way up.
From the outside, this Daoist temple looked quite tall, and there might be something else going on upstairs. Just then, a powerful explosion erupted from above, causing the walls and floor to shake violently.
Oh no, it seems like the battle has already started upstairs. Xiang Xueer quickened her pace and finally reached the top of the temple, where she immediately spotted Ling Zhu lying on the ground. She rushed over to pick her up; fortunately, she had just fainted and wasn't seriously hurt.
"Hey, Ling Zhu, wake up!" After shaking her a bit, Ling Zhu slowly opened her eyes. Upon seeing Xiang Xueer, she quickly sat up in a panic and exclaimed, "Why did it take you so long to get here? It's bad! The Kongtong Seal has been taken by Fire Rat, and Fat Ancestor is fighting him. You need to hurry and help!"
"What? Fire Rat got the Kongtong Seal? Where are they now?" A shock ran through Xiang Xueer. She hadn't expected that damned Fire Rat to act so quickly. If it weren't for being stopped by those pig-headed fools earlier, perhaps the Kongtong Seal wouldn't have been stolen.
Forget it; there's no point in thinking about that now. She quickly helped Ling Zhu up and asked, "Where are they now? Take me there quickly!"
Ling Zhu led Xiang Xueer towards a hidden chamber at the top of the temple while explaining, "When I found this place with Fat Ancestor, we discovered that Lingxu Daozhang from the Southern Mountain of the Five Peaks was already fighting Fire Rat. But that Fire Rat is really strong; no wonder he is one of the four generals under the Demon Lord. In just a few exchanges, Lingxu Daozhang was defeated. The Kongtong Seal inside this secret chamber was also taken by Fire Rat. I rushed to help with Fat Ancestor, but my skills are too weak; I was thrown out in no time. I have no idea how things are inside now!"
Damn it, Xiang Xueer cursed inwardly as they hurried into the secret chamber. The sounds of fighting were incessant. Inside, she saw Fire Rat and Fat Ancestor facing each other with their palms pressed together, fiercely competing with their internal energies. Two powerful currents shook the entire room continuously.
