Volume 2, Chapter 94 – Sorry, I Can’t Fight

“Who?!”

Lu Zhuxin suddenly felt a chill down her spine.

Who was this person, and when did they sneak up behind her?

Why hadn’t she sensed anything at all?

Although Lu Zhuxin knew she was a combat weakling, she was still an Eighth Realm powerhouse at least. How could an Eighth Realm’s spiritual awareness be completely useless before this person?

This person had approached right behind Lu Zhuxin, yet she hadn’t detected their presence until now?

Moreover, how did this woman find her?

Lu Zhuxin was certain the protective formations around her were still operating normally, with no signs of being triggered.

“Could it be… I’m hallucinating?”

Lu Zhuxin thought silently.

As if!

She’d clearly been backdoored!

Lu Zhuxin jumped up like a fox whose tail had been stepped on.

Startled, she retreated repeatedly.

When she turned around, she finally saw them.

The person who had nearly grasped the vital point on her neck was an extremely beautiful woman.

She was tall, much taller than Lu Zhuxin, who was barely five feet three.

She wore a moon-white dress, her jet-black hair simply bound with a wooden hairpin.

Clear eyes, red lips, with a hint of playful smile at the corners of her mouth.

This plain, simple outfit made her look like an ordinary, unremarkable Lingxiao Sword Sect disciple.

However, no matter how plain her clothes and accessories were, they couldn’t conceal her peerless elegance.

This cold, stunning face would leave an incredibly deep impression on anyone who saw it.

Even Lu Zhuxin was no exception.

But soon, the flash of admiration in Lu Zhuxin’s eyes was covered by panic.

Cold sweat soaked her back.

Clearly, this very beautiful woman before her was Jiang Hongliang’s true trump card.

They had been targeting Lu Zhuxin from the very beginning.

Just to rescue a group of ordinary disciples wouldn’t require so many powerhouses acting simultaneously.

Even though humans cultivated quickly, Eighth Realm powerhouses among humans were still very limited. Each one was a treasure of their major sects. They couldn’t possibly risk themselves just for a few ordinary disciples!

Lu Zhuxin had calculated every possibility, yet she never imagined she would be caught red-handed within her own formation.

“Who exactly are you?!”

What was this terrifying woman’s background?!

However, regardless of who she was, Lu Zhuxin wouldn’t sit and wait for death.

After immediately distancing herself from this woman whose entire being exuded a dangerous aura.

Lu Zhuxin raised the formation disc, preparing to counterattack.

Fortunately, the Master-level Formation Mastery’s duration hadn’t ended yet. Lu Zhuxin, this combat weakling, wasn’t completely powerless to resist.

At the same time, after Lu Zhuxin quickly retreated several meters, Hu Xian’er and Hu Mei’er, who had been standing guard nearby, finally noticed this suddenly appearing woman.

“Your Majesty!”

Both foxes showed alarm on their faces.

Even Lu Zhuxin didn’t know how this woman had reached this location, let alone these two Fifth and Sixth Realm fox demons.

However, as Lu Zhuxin’s most loyal maidservants, they still reacted immediately.

Hu Xian’er and Hu Mei’er both manifested their fox demon claws and lunged at the woman.

The beautiful female sword cultivator’s expression remained unchanged.

She watched the two little fox demons attacking simultaneously with an unhurried air.

A plain and simple natal sword appeared in her hand.

It was a wooden sword, seemingly made of peach wood.

At the sword’s pommel hung a red sword tassel.

At the sword guard, a blooming peach blossom was carved, with the stamen extending from the flower’s heart forming the wooden sword’s blade.

This beautiful woman held the sword without any killing intent.

Facing Hu Xian’er’s furious attack, she lightly shifted her steps and turned her waist, easily dodging Hu Xian’er’s enraged strike.

Then, taking advantage of the momentum, she gave a light push on Hu Xian’er’s back, and Hu Xian’er was sent flying uncontrollably.

Hu Mei’er’s cultivation was one realm higher than Hu Xian’er’s. She wouldn’t be pushed away so easily.

However, she still wasn’t a match for this woman.

This woman, as if toying with her, exchanged one round with Hu Mei’er, then found an opening.

She deliberately turned the sword body around, not using the blade’s edge.

Merely gripping the hilt, she lightly tapped at Hu Mei’er, using the sword’s pommel to strike her away.

The two fox demon maidservants weren’t even a match for one exchange with this woman.

After dispatching the two fox demon maidservants, this beautiful woman turned her gaze toward Lu Zhuxin again.

Lu Zhuxin felt her scalp tingle.

What was this woman’s background? Where did Jiang Hongliang find such a formidable buddha?

However, facing this terrifying woman, Lu Zhuxin wasn’t completely without countermeasures.

Reаⅾ οո KаtRеαdіnɡСαfe

She raised the formation disc in her hand. Master-level Formation Mastery was now being utilized to its fullest.

“Hu Po! Save me!!”

With a boom.

The utterly confused little tiger girl was forcibly pulled out from the Fox Palace by Lu Zhuxin using a transfer formation.

“Hu Po! Hit her!” Lu Zhuxin pointed at the woman before her.

“There’s a fight?!” Hu Po turned around and looked at the beautiful female sword cultivator.

Then, the moment Hu Po clearly saw the woman before her, her pair of bright, beautiful tiger pupils instantly contracted into thin, elongated cat eyes.

“Oh?” The beautiful woman before her smiled faintly. She looked at the little tiger girl.

“Hu Po, you want to fight me?” the beautiful woman asked in a calm tone.

Hearing this, Hu Po immediately took a step back in front of Lu Zhuxin.

“I’m sorry!”

“This is a misunderstanding!”

“Just pretend I was never here today!”

This tiger clan brat who had been so enthusiastically looking for a fight earlier actually abandoned Lu Zhuxin directly and turned to run!

Lu Zhuxin was instantly stunned.

“Hu Po? What are you doing?!”

“Sorry, fox leader!” Hu Po said as she ran. “This woman! I really can’t beat her!”

“Also, you only said earlier you’d help me find a fight!”

“But you never said the person fighting me would be freaking Qu Qingtang!”

“You want me to fight Qu Qingtang?!”

Reαd оո КаtReаdiոɡCаfе

“Sorry! Can’t fight her at all!”

Hu Po ran away with her tail between her legs.

Only the dumbfounded Lu Zhuxin remained on the scene.

And opposite her, Qu Qingtang, who was slowly approaching like she was capturing prey.

Qu Qingtang?!

Why was it Qu Qingtang?!

Of all people, it had to be Qu Qingtang, the one Lu Zhuxin had been carefully guarding against from the start.

Lu Zhuxin clearly remembered that in the original work she wrote, Qu Qingtang never involved herself in sect affairs.

Her status was like the Demon Venerable in the Demon Realm. In this world, there were already few who could match her.

If such a super powerhouse casually made a move, it would break the balance of the situation.

Most troublesome was that it would disrupt the story’s development.

Such an existence had to be restricted.

Therefore, in Lu Zhuxin’s setting, like the Demon Venerable, Qu Qingtang was just a background board representing the world’s power ceiling.

Living in legendary background, never appearing, never acting.

Even once, when the male lead Song Shixuan was nearly beaten to death, she never intervened.

But why would such an existence who never casually appeared now be here?
