Chapter 696

Although Vice Hall Master Xu's little abacus rang loudly in his heart, in front of Zhang Xiaohua's powerful Divine Sense, it was useless.

Zhang Xiaohua had already released his Divine Sense, fearing that Deputy Hall Master Xu would do something. When he saw the black light, he recognized that it was a short arrow. There was a blue light on the tip of the arrow. It must have been coated with poison.

Seeing that the poisonous arrow was close to him, Zhang Xiaohua didn't dare to be careless. He didn't use his hand to catch it. Instead, he lowered his body and tried to dodge it.

But at that moment, the poisonous arrow's arrowhead let out a soft explosion. The entire arrowhead transformed into a cluster of short needles that shot out in all directions right next to Zhang Xiaohua's face …

"Ouch."

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. He thought that it was a poisonous arrow. He used his Divine Sense to look at it, but he didn't observe it carefully. It was too late for him to dodge it now. Zhang Xiaohua immediately lowered his head and raised his right arm to cover his head with the clothes on his arm.

Just when Zhang Xiaohua was trying to dodge the poisonous needles, suddenly, a leg appeared in mid-air and kicked Zhang Xiaohua in the chest.

"Ouch!" Zhang Xiaohua was shocked again. All his attention was on the poisonous needles. He didn't use his Divine Sense to check his surroundings. He didn't expect that when the poisonous needles exploded, Deputy Hall Master Xu would fly up from his chair like a gust of wind and kick him in mid-air.

There was a series of "puchi" sounds, accompanied by a "puff" sound. Zhang Xiaohua was kicked out of the door by Deputy Hall Master Xu like a sandbag.

"Hehe," Deputy Hall Master Xu sneered. "You're still wet behind the ears. You want to fight with me? Do you think …"

However, before Vice Hall Master Xu could finish his sentence, Zhang Xiaohua's flying figure seemed to be blocked by something just as he was about to fly out of the door. It was as if he was caught in a fishing net. He only slowed down a little before he flew towards Vice Hall Master Xu at the same speed.

"Eh?"

Vice Hall Master Xu was taken aback. He raised his palm to strike Zhang Xiaohua's body, but before he could do so, a small fist appeared and met his palm head-on.

"Hmph!" Although Deputy Hall Master Xu was surprised, he didn't care. He still hit his hand.

In an instant, the palm and the fist collided. There was no sound, but Deputy Hall Master Xu seemed to have been hit by a hammer. His body flew up and fell back.

Zhang Xiaohua's retreating figure was immediately revealed on the spot.

Zhang Xiaohua stood there steadily, but there was blood at the corner of his mouth.

Zhang Xiaohua watched coldly as Vice Hall Leader Xu's body was sent flying into the air and slowly fell back down. He then raised his arm and looked at the densely packed poison needles on his sleeve. He could not help but feel a lingering fear.

Zhang Xiaohua's martial arts were high enough, but he was still inexperienced. He didn't expect Deputy Hall Master Xu to have so many moves. If he wasn't wearing the robe of Venerable Fire Dragon, he would have been seriously injured by the poisonous needles. Even if he wasn't seriously injured, his face would be covered with scars. That would be worse than being seriously injured.

"Cough, cough." Zhang Xiaohua's internal injuries, which were almost healed, worsened. He coldly used the fingers of his left hand to carefully wipe away the blood at the corner of his mouth. He said, "Vice Hall Master Xu, good method."

"Well said."

Deputy Hall Master Xu stood up and asked with a surprised expression, "Ren Shaoxia's internal strength is very good. At the very least, he is one of the best in the Tenryū Sect's younger generation."

Then, he looked at the empty doorway and said, "What did you do to my doorway?"

Zhang Xiaohua narrowed his eyes and laughed, "Do you think I will tell you?"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and took out the Chasing Dream Dagger. He quickly stepped forward and thrust the dagger at Vice Hall Master Xu's throat. He really didn't want to waste his breath on this kind of person.

Who was Deputy Hall Master Xu?

He was the Deputy Hall Master of the Pill Repository Hall and an inner disciple of the Lingering Fragrance Peak.

He did not even draw the longsword at his waist. Instead, he faced Zhang Xiaohua's small sword with his bare hands.

The two of them fought for the time it took to drink a cup of tea and neither of them had the upper hand.

Although Zhang Xiaohua's strength was great, Deputy Hall Master Xu's internal strength was superb and his moves were exquisite. Whenever he encountered a move that he couldn't defeat, he would be able to dissipate the force and even use it to counterattack. Even so, Deputy Hall Master Xu was shocked. With this level of martial arts, even if there were three Lu Lihong, he wouldn't be able to defeat Lu Lihong, let alone kill him!

Both of them became impatient and retreated half a step. Deputy Hall Master Xu stretched out his hand and pulled out his sword. He circulated his internal energy and an inch-long sword light flashed. Then, he used the Splitting Mountain Technique and slashed towards Zhang Xiaohua's face. Zhang Xiaohua also made a hand sign and pointed his finger. The dagger seemed to be full of spirituality and flew out from his hand. It flew diagonally and stabbed towards Deputy Hall Master Xu's neck!

"Flying Sword!"

Deputy Hall Master Xu was shocked. His sword trembled and the sword light disappeared. He didn't have time to hurt anyone but quickly pulled his sword back and pointed at the dagger. Zhang Xiaohua wanted to test the waters and didn't dodge. With a "Keng" sound, the two swords collided. Deputy Hall Master Xu felt as if he was struck by lightning. His arm went soft and he took half a step back. His face was pale. Chasing Dream was also hit and tumbled in the air. Zhang Xiaohua almost couldn't control it.

Seeing that Zhang Xiaohua was a little flustered, Deputy Hall Master Xu suppressed the fear in his heart and rushed forward. He pointed his sword at Zhang Xiaohua's heart.

Zhang Xiaohua was shocked. She didn't have time to control Chasing Dream. She used the Ethereal Steps and cleverly dodged the sword. She flashed behind Deputy Hall Master Xu and opened up the distance between them. She pointed her finger and Chasing Dream rushed down again.

This time, Zhang Xiaohua learned her lesson. She didn't rashly collide with Deputy Hall Master Xu's sword. Instead, she focused on using the Dream Weaving Sword Technique. She surrounded Deputy Hall Master Xu and kept stabbing at his throat.

It had to be said that Deputy Hall Master Xu was very powerful. His martial arts were only a little weaker than the bronze masked old man that Zhang Xiaohua had encountered previously. However, after that battle, Zhang Xiaohua's cultivation in the Way of Immortality had increased. Her divine sense had also improved by leaps and bounds. Even though her divine sense could only cover a radius of one zhang, her control over the flying sword had become more precise. In addition, she had obtained the complete set of the Dream Weaving Sword Technique. She was like a tiger that had grown wings. It was impossible for Deputy Hall Master Xu to use his hand or sword to hit Chasing Dream like the bronze masked old man.

After a few moves, Vice Hall Master Xu had no choice but to place his sword in front of his throat in order to block Chasing Dream, who was about to stab him in the throat. As a result, although he managed to dodge Chasing Dream, the sword in his hand was cut in half by Chasing Dream!

Deputy Hall Master Xu was shocked. He jumped back a step. Seeing Chasing Dream turn around and stab at him again, he clenched his teeth and took out a short sword. It was the Nameless Sword that he had extorted from Yang Yao. He shook his hand and stabbed at Chasing Dream. How could Zhang Xiaohua let him stab her? She ordered Chasing Dream to turn around.

Right at that moment, Vice Hall Master Xu clenched his teeth. Then, he bit the tip of his tongue, causing him to vomit a mouthful of blood. His face turned deathly pale, and the veins on his arms bulged. Even his eyes were bloodshot.

"Reverse Blood Corrosion Essence!"

Zhang Xiaohua's heart skipped a beat. She had seen this scene before in the peach forest outside Sorrow City. She knew that this was an extreme technique that forcefully increased one's martial arts. As a result, she did not dare to be careless. She controlled Chasing Dream while thinking of a countermeasure.

As expected, after Deputy Hall Master Xu used the "Reverse Blood Corrosion Essence" technique, his internal energy had increased greatly. Even his movements had become much more agile. Chasing Dream was almost unable to lock onto his throat. As for the short sword in his hand, while blocking Chasing Dream, he could also stab at Zhang Xiaohua.

"What should I do now?"

Zhang Xiaohua was somewhat helpless. She had wanted to directly use the attack jade talisman. However, the flame in the jade talisman was incomparably fierce. If it hit Deputy Hall Master Xu's body, there would be nothing left of him. However, Deputy Hall Master Xu was the Deputy Hall Master of the Pill Repository Hall. He was not like Bai Huan and Meng Fei. If he disappeared, then so be it. Only Sage Herb would have some thoughts. Well, if Bai Huan disappeared, then Sage Herb would not know at all.

But what if Deputy Hall Master Xu disappeared?

The consequences would of course be a hundred times more serious than being killed. Perhaps it would cause a huge uproar in the Fragrance Cult. As a foreign fake medicine boy, she would inevitably fall into the eyes of some people. However, if she was killed, hehe, a little medicine boy like her would not be considered at all. Of course, there would be a lot less danger.

After thinking for a while, Zhang Xiaohua decided to use the "Dragon Binding Ring". Although the "Dragon Binding Ring" consumed a lot of Genuine Qi, and the Genuine Qi in her meridians might not be enough. However, the situation was a little critical now. Zhang Xiaohua could not put away her initial plan of not using the "Dragon Binding Ring".

After thinking about it, Zhang Xiaohua no longer hesitated. She reached out her hand and took out the jade bracelet from her bosom. She threw it into the air and cast a spell. The jade bracelet seemed to grow in the wind. It grew to about four feet and wrapped around Deputy Hall Master Xu's body!

"This …!!!"

Deputy Hall Chief Xu was even more panicked. He didn't even have time to say a word before he hurriedly fled. However, the hall was only so big. Although he was fast now, he could barely match Zhang Xiaohua's Divine Sense. After a few dodges, he was about to be caught by the "Dragon Binding Ring".

Vice Hall Master Xu stretched out his left hand and grabbed the jade pendant on his belt. He exerted force and crushed the jade pendant. "Pa!" A brown light shot out from his hand and instantly covered his entire body like a transparent cover. The "Dragon Binding Hoop" had already landed on Vice Hall Master Xu's head. However, Vice Hall Master Xu was unharmed because of this transparent cover!
