Li Hong soared into the air, the Dragon Tail Whip snapping straight, with the tip wrapped around Zhu Xue, who was nearly gasping for breath.
Zhu Xue, the Fairy from the renowned Emei Four Swords, was exceptionally beautiful and gifted. Ever since she joined the Emei Sect and was chosen as one of the Emei Four Swords, she had been the center of attention wherever she went, standing out like a red flower among a sea of green. Countless admirers gazed at her with longing eyes, and she was accompanied by three genuine protectors. It would not be an exaggeration to say that she was held in the palms of everyone’s hands; she had never experienced such hardship before.
As the whip tightened further, her head buzzed, and her eyes felt like they were about to pop out of their sockets. Her entire face turned crimson. Zhu Xue attempted several times to summon the Purple Cloud Sword for defense, but it was cut off by that High-Quality Spirit Tool Flying Sword. Regret filled her heart as she realized she had underestimated her opponent.
At this moment, even in defeat, Zhu Xue refused to admit she had lost. Instead, she thought about that despicable boy across from her and how he had used tricks against her. If only she had one more good treasure, she would make him regret it!
As her life force gradually faded away, these thoughts swirled in her mind.
Li Hong clearly saw her indignation and looked down on her in his heart. Foolish woman, you wasted your beauty; your brain is hardly better than a pig's!
Having taught her a lesson, he began to think of ways to make this woman suffer greatly—at least enough to keep her in seclusion for several months. He could not let go of such an opportunity to establish authority over an Emei disciple.
He initially harbored murderous intent, but killing in such a public setting was the most foolish course of action.
White Silk Sword Azure Sky was stunned and after regaining his senses began jumping up and down shouting: “Chu Hong… Chu Hong! Please show mercy!” He wanted to draw his sword to rescue his junior sister, but it was his junior sister who had initiated the duel. This was a formal and fair challenge; if he intervened now, it would bring disgrace to the Emei Sect. Thus, he merely jumped around without daring to take action.
Li Hong looked at him helplessly flailing about and felt contempt in his heart. Just then, he noticed Yue Mangzi's mouth opening as if he was about to speak. A thought crossed his mind and he came up with an idea. He sneered coldly as he loosened the whip's grip like a serpent. Zhu Xue's body began to fall. Just before she hit the ground, Li Hong directed the Dragon Tail Whip along her scalp, brushing past Zhu Xue's lofty hairdo.
The White Ribbon Sword shot up quickly and caught Zhu Xue in its embrace. He felt something cool on his face as if rain were falling.
In mid-air, strands of black hair rained down like silk threads. Zhu Xue’s beautiful hair was severed and scattered everywhere. Broken gemstone hairpins and shattered pearl earrings clinked as they fell onto the blue stone Clearing below—a sudden shower of jewels.
Azure Sky felt his heart sink. Looking down at his junior sister, he saw that her once thick black hair had been reduced to uneven stubs barely an inch long against her scalp, looking as if a dog had chewed it—how ugly it appeared! Her beauty had suffered a great loss.
“You—” He raised his head and glared angrily at Li Hong, his chest heaving with rage.
"Thank you for your kindness." Li Hong landed gracefully, his hand sweeping through the air as golden light transformed into a dragon-headed purple gold belt around his waist. He moved leisurely, adhering to the script, and even cupped his hands toward Azure Sky, flashing a "elegant" smile.
Azure Sky felt a chill in his hands and feet, utterly helpless. His junior sister was unharmed; the only loss was her thick, flowing hair, which could be considered a blessing in disguise. However...
Zhu Xue stirred awake, realizing her feet were on the ground. She forced herself to break free from her senior brother's embrace and stand upright, suddenly feeling something unusual on her head. She reached up to touch it and let out a long, piercing scream, "My hair!" She swayed unsteadily. At that moment, Li Hong's smile caught her eye. Zhu Xue found that face incredibly detestable, her heart filled with rage. A surge of internal energy immediately went awry, coursing chaotically through her meridians.
She was so enraged by Li Hong's move "Cutting the Hair" that she fell into a frenzy right on the spot, unable to move. Her face alternated between pale and flushed, accentuated by her bizarre crew cut.
Azure Sky sensed something was wrong just as he saw Zhu Xue tremble and then suddenly spit a mouthful of blood all over him, her eyes rolling back as she slumped down.
"Junior sister—" Azure Sky's handsome face turned pale as he hurriedly caught Zhu Xue in his arms.
Li Hong scratched his head innocently and muttered, "It's just hair; it's not like I cut off limbs. You can't blame me for that."
Golden Blade and Azure Mist Sword exchanged glances, suppressing their anger. They cupped their hands toward Yue Mangzi and said, "Junior sister is seriously injured; we ask the elder to accompany us back to Nine Separation Peak to report this incident to our superiors." Turning to Li Hong, they cupped their hands again and said, "Thank you for showing mercy. We will meet again; please guide us then."
Although they put on a show of politeness, the hatred in their eyes could not escape Li Hong's notice.
Hmph! Does this young master fear you? He chuckled softly, "I hope you brothers take good care of your junior sister; after all, women shouldn't be overly pampered; otherwise, they'll drag you down sooner or later."
Azure Mist Sword remained noncommittal while Golden Blade looked at him thoughtfully but said nothing more. The group soared into the sky on their swords toward Nine Separation Peak.
Li Hong watched them depart with an indescribable sense of satisfaction.
An arm draped over his shoulder as Chuming smiled with squinted eyes. He gave a thumbs-up and said, "Old Six did well! Not only did he leave them speechless, but he also broke the Emei Four Swords! They should settle down now; let them return where they came from! Let's see if they dare to be arrogant again!"
The brothers exchanged hearty laughter.
Behind him, someone was clapping, followed by a thunderous applause that shook the heavens and the earth. The group of people in the distance clearly heard it, and some turned back to point.
The Emei Four Swords had deeply etched Li Hong's appearance in their hearts.
Li Hong became famous overnight; there was no need to mention the Nine Vermilion Peaks, as his reputation within the entire Nine Li Sect also soared. Naturally, some were happy while others were worried.
Zhu Xue, the Fairy, who suffered a great loss, was sent back to Emei that night. The Emei Four Swords, always inseparable from each other, returned to Emei Mountain Gate together.
The masters of Emei did not say much at that time; they praised the Nine Li Sect for having a rising star like Li Hong, claiming that he would surely bring glory to the Nine Li Sect in the future. A few days later, after finishing matters at the Nine Li Sect, when it was time to bid farewell, they said: "The disciples under my tutelage lack skill and have unstable temperaments, causing your sect to be embarrassed. However, a disciple like Chu Hong shows no mercy towards fellow Female Cultivators; he is truly ruthless. Your sect must be cautious."
Ling Xuzi personally saw them off to the Heaven and Earth Platform and firmly denied this statement. He was not foolish enough to admit that his sect's disciples were ruthless, as that would only provide leverage to the already unfriendly Emei Sect.
After the people from Emei Sect disappeared from the Heaven and Earth Platform, Ling Xuzi revealed a rare smile and stroked his long beard for a while without moving. After standing for a stick of incense's worth of time, Ling Xuzi flew alone towards the Artifact Hall.
A few days later, Li Hong received a message from Elder Yue Changzi of the Artifact Hall, inviting him once again to gather at the Artifact Hall.
