While on Mount Hua, my mind is at peace!

Chapter 89: Who to kill? Each one

Wu Shuangxue walked to the bedside. The "seriously injured" young man didn't move, but his arm suddenly shot out like a venomous snake, a gleaming blade flashing towards Wu Shuangxue's lower body. Wu Shuangxue raised her blade to block, then quickly retreated, suddenly feeling a strong wind attacking her from behind. At the same time, the maid who was decocting medicine also picked up a pot of medicine and smashed it down on her head.

Wu Shuangxue lightly touched the young man's blade with her left fingertip, and the blade abruptly stopped. Wu Shuangxue lunged towards the window, becoming one with the blade, and cleaved the medicine pot blocking her path, along with the maid, in two. With a loud bang, the window shattered, and Wu Shuangxue emerged from inside the house into the courtyard.

Shopkeeper Wei was waiting for her in the courtyard. Before Wu Shuangxue even landed, Shopkeeper Wei pulled out an abacus from his robes and casually slapped it down. The ninety-one abacus beads, each following a different trajectory, spun and flew towards Wu Shuangxue's vital points. Wu Shuangxue wielded a single-edged sword, shattering and knocking away dozens of beads, but the remaining beads struck her pressure points, causing her to fall straight down.

Shopkeeper Wei tossed aside the abacus, and Meng Yun, accompanied by the head constable from the Six Doors and the young man feigning serious injury, emerged from the house. The young man spat on the ground.

"Where did this bitch come from? She's so skilled. A whole bunch of us surrounded her and made her kill Xiao Cui. That girl has a nice figure, but I haven't had a taste of her yet."

Meng Yun laughed and said, "Forgive my bluntness, but in terms of figure and beauty, this Commander Wu is far superior to that Miss Xiao Cui. In the entire Huazhou City, apart from the sect leader of the Heavenly Sword Sect, I'm afraid you can't find another one like her. Since Instructor Guo is in the mood, why not take Commander Wu into the room? We'll keep watch for you."

Coach Guo's lecherous gaze lingered on Wu Shuangxue: "Looking at it now, it really is true. Head Coach Wei, can you give me a little time? It's such a waste to kill this girl like this."

Chief Instructor Wei said coldly, "Who said we were going to kill this little girl? There must be a reason why she came to Huazhou to take up her post. We won't be able to eat our staple food or sleep peacefully back home until we find out the reason. If you want to play around, you'll have to take her back first. This is a dangerous place, we can't stay here for long."

Coach Guo said, "Chief Coach Wei is right. I'll take her back." He reached out to grab Wu Shuangxue's chest. Suddenly, he felt a chill on his wrist, and the severed hand slowly slid off his wrist.

Although Instructor Guo had killed many people, he had never seen such a strange sight before, let alone that it was happening to him. He was stunned for a moment.

A few breaths later, excruciating pain shot through him, and Coach Guo finally came to his senses, yelling as he retreated. In his panic, he retreated too hastily and actually tumbled backward. Meng Yun quickly stepped forward and caught him.

"My hand, my hand!"

A young man in a blue robe stood silently before Wu Shuangxue, holding her single-edged sword. A few drops of blood lingered on the blade, but with a casual flick of his wrist, the sword gleamed as new. All eyes were fixed on the young man's face. Meng Yun cried out in alarm:

"Young Master Feng, is that you?"

Yue Feng stroked the blade of his single-edged sword: "It's truly a fine blade." He raised his head and looked at Meng Yun: "It's just a pity that it only killed petty people."

Meng Yun's expression changed slightly. Yue Feng stood still, then his heel struck backward, landing squarely on Wu Shuangxue's Qihai acupoint on her waist. Wu Shuangxue's body jolted, the sealed acupoints releasing all at once. She slowly rose from the ground, her first words being:

"You kicked me."

Upon hearing Wu Shuangxue's tone, Yue Feng knew she had already recognized him. After all, it was Wu Shuangxue who had taught him his disguise skills. He smiled slightly, handed the single-edged sword back to her, and asked, "Which one do you want to kill?"

"Every single one," Wu Shuangxue answered without hesitation.

"Let's take them one by one." Yue Feng scanned Chief Instructor Wei, Instructor Guo, and Constable Meng Yun one by one. "Kill the one with the missing hand first."

"Alright." Wu Shuangxue slowly walked towards Instructor Guo, carrying her knife. Meng Yun and the other constables went to intercept her. Yue Feng spread his hands, and the power of his two Demon-Subduing Palms clashed together, forming an extremely high and thick wall of true energy that blocked Meng Yun and the other constables outside.

The wall of true energy lasted only a moment before silently collapsing. Taking advantage of the moment when Yue Feng's old strength was exhausted and his new strength had not yet been generated, Meng Yun and the others rushed forward.

Yue Feng drew a jade flute from his belt and casually swung it around. After a few moves, Meng Yun and the others felt that Yue Feng's human-shaped flute shadows were everywhere in the courtyard, forcing them to gather together and fight as a group.

Yue Feng didn't harm them, but simply herded them together like sheep. On the other side, Chief Instructor Wei wanted to observe Yue Feng's martial arts skills, so he didn't make a move either.

The first scream rang out suddenly, followed by a second, a third… Instructor Guo was hacked to pieces by Wu Shuangxue, blood splattering all over her face. She didn't wipe it away, but walked over to Yue Feng and said, “Thank you for your hard work. Leave these men to me.”

Yue Feng immediately withdrew his attack. Meng Yun and the others, who had been toyed with by Yue Feng and were feeling relaxed as the pressure subsided, were suddenly confronted by Wu Shuangxue, covered in blood, who charged towards them like a demon. Ignoring Wu Shuangxue, Yue Feng walked up to Chief Instructor Wei and calmly observed him.

Chief Instructor Wei suddenly spoke up: "Young friend, with your skills, why bother going against the Xie family? I don't care what happened between you and the Xie family in the past; I can mediate on your behalf. How about we become friends and even spare this Commander Wu?"

Yue Feng asked with interest, "Chief Instructor Wei, right? You hold a high position in the Xie family, don't you? Do people listen to what you say?"

Chief Instructor Wei said calmly, "I started as a servant in the Xie family and spent decades working my way up to the position of chief instructor. If no one listens to what I say, then what have I done to deserve this position?"

Yue Feng nodded but remained silent, lost in thought. At that moment, Wu Shuangxue, having slaughtered Meng Yun and the others, approached. Yue Feng asked her, "I have some use for this man. Could you spare his life for now? I promise he'll receive the punishment he deserves."

Wu Shuangxue said, "That's possible, but you'll have to help me with the things I need to do in Huazhou."

Yue Feng leaned close to her ear and said in an ambiguous tone, "Look at what you're saying. We're old flames, who else would I help if not you?" Wu Shuangxue glared at him and turned her head away.

Yue Feng didn't lower his voice when he spoke to Wu Shuangxue, so Chief Instructor Wei heard everything clearly. He gave a cold laugh:

"Young man, you don't really think that with your few palm techniques and sword skills you can keep one of the Xie family's head instructors, do you? If you really think that, it just shows that you are too young."

Yue Feng didn't speak, but simply waved. Head Coach Wei sighed, shook his head, and walked towards Yue Feng.

Yue Feng flicked his index finger repeatedly, and a Golden Wind and Jade Dew finger force quietly followed the two Maha Vajra Finger Forces. Chief Instructor Wei wiped his hands, easily neutralizing the first two Maha Vajra Finger Forces, but suddenly seemed to sense something and dodged the last finger force.

Yue Feng narrowed his eyes, gaining a new understanding of Coach Wei's abilities.
