Unwelcome guests!
Li Shiyin's face turned cold. Her naturally heroic face instantly took on the air of a lone woman warrior as she asked in a low voice, "Who are you?"
The visitors were none other than Zhang Shan and Wang Wu. They had followed Li Shiyin and Long Qiqi all the way here, overhearing along the way that Li Shiyin had commissioned a sword from Xu Zhiye. Now they were being led to this remote place.
That meant there was not only a beauty and mystic martial arts techniques here, but also a sword forged by Xu Zhiye and the assistance of fate itself. Their luck had arrived in full force, preventing any obstacles.
Today, they would attack two of the Five Immortals, robbing them of valuables while sparing their lives. They still wanted that sword, and they wanted... to rob some beauty!
Seeing the cold, aloof face of the fairy maiden before him, Zhang Shan's lecherous desires rose to his face. As a professional, how could he bother to answer? Drawing the sword off his back, he strode towards the fairy maiden.
In the narrow alley, faced with these vicious ruffians, the fairy maiden retreated...
"What are you trying to do?"
Li Shiyin could not help but retreat.
"Stop!"
She shouted again.
As they drew closer to the fairy maiden, seemingly able to smell her fragrance, Zhang Shan and Wang Wu grew even more excited. They picked up speed, one in front and one behind, sword and blade flying swiftly towards Li Shiyin.
Seeing the two men refusing to listen, Li Shiyin no longer retreated. Her left hand stroked the embroidered silk pouch at her waist, and an ebony sword scabbard and sword appeared in her left hand. Grasping the hilt with her right hand, her apricot eyes hardened as she looked ahead, and a flash of cold light swept across Zhang Shan and Wang Wu.
She, Li Shiyin...
Was no weak woman!
It was always her bullying others, so who dared bully her?
"Shing!"
The Starfall Sword left its scabbard!
Since there were those courting death, why not send them on their way?
She did not wait for Zhang Shan to cross the final distance and attack. Instead, she took the initiative and rushed at them with her sword.
In her dictionary, in the conduct of her Li family, there had never been such a thing as passively taking a beating. There was only...
Attack!
Frenzied attack!
Becoming the sharpest spear, attacking relentlessly without stopping, until the last enemy was hacked to pieces!
Li Shiyin attacked, her sword swinging wide and free, not gently or ambiguously like a traditional young lady, but explosively and tempestuously, like a typhoon bursting a riverbank!
The master had spent endless spirit stones and elixirs, exhausting his heart and mind to forge her physique - far stronger than an ordinary cultivator's. This granted her endless strength and speed.
"Clang!"
Her sword met Zhang Shan's parrying blade, stopping his charge in its tracks and forcing him back several steps.
"What?" Zhang Shan was shocked, his sword-wielding hand trembling uncontrollably.
Li Shiyin would not give him an answer. No, she had already given him a chance to flee, but sadly he had not grasped it. That clanging sound was the first gunshot triggering an avalanche, followed closely by...
"Clang clang clang!"
It was as if a grand musical performance was unfolding in this little alley, with countless frantic sounds ringing out rhythmically.
Under Li Shiyin’s frenzied swordplay, Zhang Shan could only desperately defend. He was like a small wooden boat in the storm, ready to capsize at any moment.
"How is this possible?" Wang Wu watched Zhang Shan's battle from not far behind, unwilling to believe it.
Zhang Shan was a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator. This woman was just in the Foundation Establishment stage! How could she dominate him like this? Zhang Shan couldn't even get an opportunity to utilize any abilities.
Since the alley was too narrow for them to surround her, Wang Wu had stopped in his tracks earlier on, letting only Zhang Shan charge forward to secure space for their battle.
It didn't seem like the woman was using any special arts either. She was just using mundane human sword techniques, so how could she have such power?
It felt as if... a powerful cultivator was being hammered by a mighty warrior.
"No no no..." Wang Wu shook his head repeatedly. How could he have such an impression? She just had a better foundation and slightly stronger physique than them... probably...?
Wait a moment!
A better foundation?
Wang Wu suddenly understood. She must be from an orthodox sect, and quite a major one at that, holding a position of some status, otherwise she wouldn't be so powerful.
No wonder she had mystic martial arts techniques and could get Xu the Weirdo to forge a sword for her...
"What should we do now?" Wang Wu felt uneasy. Offending disciples from major sects was bad news... No, the main issue was still that they couldn't beat her...
"No no no..." He quickly reacted. "Since we've offended her already, whether we can beat her or not, we still have to go all out..."
As Wang Wu looked ahead, although Li Shiyin was using ordinary sword techniques, her moves were precise and skilled. Clearly she practiced extensively – she was a sword cultivator.
"A sword cultivator, is it?" He had an idea. Reaching into his cosmos pouch, he took out a shuttle-shaped object and gripped it in his hand. Bit by bit, he channeled spiritual power into the shuttle.
"Chua..."
Li Shiyin thrusted out her sword, flicking it back up Zhang Shan's chest. Zhang Shan hastily parried with his own sword across his chest, but his arm was numb and he missed by a bit – Li Shiyin's sword still left a bloody gash. Zhang Shan grimaced in pain and retreated further. Sensing an opening, Li Shiyin immediately pressed forward, waiting for the right moment to utilize Rabit Kicks Eagle – her legs shot out horizontally, kicking Zhang Shan squarely in the chest.
Now that blades were drawn, Li Shiyin did not know how to hold back. Using her full strength, the kick sent Zhang Shan flying like a burst sack, crashing horizontally out of the alley.
Wang Wu hurriedly dodged aside, not even trying to catch Zhang Shan. Gripping the shuttle-shaped artifact, he turned back to see Li Shiyin nimbly landing after kicking Zhang Shan away...
Now was his chance!
"Whoosh!"
He opened his palm. The shuttle-shaped artifact instantly disappeared, transforming into a silver shadow shooting towards Li Shiyin.
Li Shiyin never underestimated her foes or relaxed her guard on the battlefield, which would give the enemy opportunities. Although she had just landed and not yet steadied herself, she still reacted quickly enough when the shuttle came at her.
In a lightning-quick reflex, she exerted force in her rear arm, making the Starfall Sword shudder like electricity...
"Clang!"
She steadily deflected the shuttle.
"Sneak attack?" She smiled coldly at Wang Wu, taking a step towards him while drawing her sword back...
"Hmm? What's going on?" Li Shiyin suddenly felt the Starfall Sword grow heavier. Hurriedly glancing at the blade, she discovered that the shuttle had not been batted away. Instead, it was stuck fast to the sword!
It seemed to weigh at least several hundred pounds, and was still increasing in weight...
"What is this thing?" She stared icily at Wang Wu.
Wang Wu grinned obsequiously, gloating, "It's a little toy, specially targeting sword cultivators like you..."
"Without your swords, you sword cultivators are just toothless tigers." He slashed his blade horizontally. Faint flames flickered along its edge. "You're... lambs to the slaughter!"
"Toothless tiger?" The thought of Chasefeng inexplicably popped into Li Shiyin's mind. Even without his claws, he didn't seem much weaker, remaining just as fierce every day.
As the shuttle continued gaining weight, she thrust the Starfall Sword into the wall beside her, empty-handed now. Clenching her fists, she asked:
"Are you sure about that?"
+【Epic Battles!】 "Your Highness, they say Linxi Temple is miraculous. Won’t you make a wish?" "A wish? It should be making wishes to me." "That may be so, but since you’re already here..." "..." "Fine. Then grant this princess a consort to play with." "He must be obedient, devoted, and utterly infatuated with my body—so much so that he’d kneel and kiss my feet." "Your Highness, that’s not a consort. That’s a dog." "Then add clever, witty, heroic, ambitious yet pragmatic..." "Hmm, that’s enough for now. I’ll add more later." After tossing out these words half in jest, Princess Anle departed the temple—only to catch a fleeting glimpse of the Bodhisattva statue smiling at her.

u Chenyuan transmigrated into a female-oriented novel about a real and fake heiress, becoming the CEO elder brother of both. Unfortunately, the entire Lu family—including himself, the CEO—were mere cannon fodder in the story. Determined to save himself, Lu Chenyuan took action. The spoiled, attention-seeking fake heiress? Thrown into the harsh realities of the working class to learn humility. The love-struck real heiress? Pushed toward academic excellence, so lofty goals would blind her to trivial romances. As for the betrayed, vengeful arranged marriage wife… the plot hadn’t even begun yet. There was still time—if he couldn’t handle her, he could at least avoid her. "CEO Lu, are you avoiding me?" Mo Qingli fixed her gaze on Lu Chenyuan. For the first time, the shrewd and calculating Lu Chenyuan felt a flicker of unease.
