Zhong Shenxiu suddenly halted in his tracks.
In the alley ahead of him, a dense web had appeared without notice.
Those semi-transparent white silk threads, as if possessing lives of their own, slowly wriggled, blocking off all his retreat paths.
In mid-air, there suddenly appeared a ravishing beauty, clad only in a few thin strips of clothing, with a scorching figure and delicate snowy feet.
An Earth List Master—Black Widow Hua Miao!
Zhong Shenxiu inwardly smirked wryly, feeling as if he were a butterfly lured by the nectar of a flower, yet falling into the trap of a venomous spider.
’Oh no, I’m done for!’
’How can soone on the People List beat soone on the Earth List?’
’Even if I desperately add points, but a dozen or so Heavenly Show Points are utterly insufficient...’
’This Earth List Master ca to my door personally? What’s going on, could Gu Qingying be framing ?’
Zhong Shenxiu’s thoughts raced, and a smile appeared on his face, "Little brother has seen Sister Hua, I have urgent matters today, may I take my leave first?"
Hua Miao’s mature and languid face showed an amused expression, "Little brother, you are quite the character, it’s a pity that our last encounter at the small temple was too hasty to properly cherish you, but it’s not too late to make up for it today..."
She was like a streak of fallen darkness, and as she spoke, Zhong Shenxiu felt threads of life continually floating towards him.
That was a terrifying poison, one that even Gu Qingying, upon contact, could only sever one’s hand to escape from!
"You have no martial virtue!"
Zhong Shenxiu bellowed, forced to go all out, his palms rotating with the power of the gold, wood, water, fire, and earth elents of the Five Elents Thief Palm, manifesting as Heart Fire Palm Power!
Each of the elents had their wondrous uses, but when it ca to purging evil, naturally, fire reigned supre.
In an instant, his palm centers turned bright red, unleashing thirty-six palms in succession, each creating a blazing palm wind to shield himself.
Threads of spider silk drifted towards him, only to be incinerated by the palm wind.
There was a ti...when Zhong Shenxiu, despite his utmost effort, could only dispel a strand or two of silk before reaching his limit.
But now, dozens, hundreds of silken threads were being dissolved in mid-air without leaving a trace.
Even so, Zhong Shenxiu’s heart remained calm, knowing that if he held out for too long, he would inevitably fail to be a match for the Black Widow.
Not to ntion, her puppet had yet to be revealed.
’The only strategy now is to bide my ti, hoping a master passes by to rescue ?’
’Or perhaps... put on a desperate stance, letting her know that even if she can kill , I can bite back, leaving her in a poor state for the battle with Golden Zombie Xin Cuo, making her victory not worth the losses...’
As Zhong Shenxiu’s thoughts flickered rapidly, Hua Miao covered her lips and giggled, "I am one of the Miao people, and a woman at that, why bother with martial virtue..."
This reason was both good and powerful, leaving Zhong Shenxiu speechless.
Moreover, as they exchanged blows, he also sensed that Hua Miao seed to be holding back intentionally, not truly aiming to take his life.
In terms of the jargon of Jianghu, there was no killing intent in her moves.
After pondering for a mont, Zhong Shenxiu first halted his actions and inquired, "Sister Hua, what exactly brings you here today to trouble ?"
Since he couldn’t beat her anyway, he didn’t mind playing along to get more information.
"There isn’t much... I’m just a little curious about you, little brother. After all, we’ve t once before... And besides, in Jianghu, you’re the only one who has cultivated the Five Elents Thief Palm to such a degree."
Hua Miao’s enchanting voice ca through as the myriad spider silks retracted, ceasing her movents.
"Five Elents Thief Palm?"
Zhong Shenxiu realized this was the main reason she sought him out. He thought for a mont and chuckled, "Does Sister Hua see that all my martial arts skills are common inheritances in Jianghu and clearly have nothing to do with the Wang Family’s Secret Manual?"
If such probing of his skills could clear his na, that would indeed be a good thing.
"Hehe..." Hua Miao laughed, her body shaking like tree branches in the breeze, "I experienced the events of that day firsthand. How could I believe such nonsense?"
"What is it for, then?"
Zhong Shenxiu was genuinely puzzled.
"Little brother, would you be interested in joining the Five Poison Sect?"
Hua Miao’s eyes shimred as she posed a question that took Zhong Shenxiu completely by surprise.
"Join the Sect?" Zhong Shenxiu was astonished, "I’m hardly worthy of your notice with my humble talents and virtues. How could I possibly catch Sister Hua’s discerning eye?"
"Why belittle yourself so, little brother? A figure on the Earth List like yourself is more than qualified to join any of the eight major forces, let alone... Given your extraordinary natural talent in cultivating the Five Elents Thief Palm to such an extent, you are truly a once-in-a-century genius in Jianghu!"
Hua Miao’s face showed a hint of sincerity, "Perhaps you could obtain Grandmaster manuals from other powers, but that would require you to change your practice, which is very troubleso. However, if you join the Divine Sect, it will be different. Nowadays in Jianghu, hardly anyone knows that the Five Elents Thief Palm actually originated from our Five Poison Sect! And its advanced technique is one of the Five Poison Sect’s secret thods, the ’Yin Yang Conquest Sky Demon Great Transformation Hand’!"
"So that’s how it is! No wonder I felt that the palm technique was sowhat incomplete. Beyond the Five Elents is Yin and Yang? That makes perfect sense."
Zhong Shenxiu, combining this with what he knew, suddenly believed it to so extent.
"You’ve actually sensed an imperfection in the Five Elents Thief Palm?" Hua Miao was even more astonished, "With such talent, if you join our Divine Sect, you’ll definitely receive substantial cultivation support. In the future, not only the Earth List but even the Heaven List will within reach... How about it?"
She extended a sweet-sounding invitation, yet in Zhong Shenxiu’s spiritual sense, it felt as venomous as the poison on a snake’s fangs.
’Sothing is strange. I always feel that sothing’s not right. This woman is probably up to no good!’
Although he had no reason, Zhong Shenxiu trusted his intuition.
He pondered for a mont and politely declined, "I need so ti to consider it..."
Rejecting her to her face for fear of being killed, it was better to delay for now.
"What’s the matter? Could it be that little brother is also hindered by the conventional views of good and evil in Martial Arts, looking down on our Five Poison Sect?" Hua Miao narrowed her eyes, and Zhong Shenxiu suddenly felt a wave of danger.
"Of course not, the law of the jungle is the norm in Jianghu Martial Arts!" Zhong Shenxiu stated frankly.
"Little brother, Sister is growing fonder of you by the minute... Well then, let’s make a deal first..." Hua Miao did not give Zhong Shenxiu a chance to refuse, and directly said, "Recently, there’s a Disciple of the Six Void Sect whose gaze makes Sister feel sick. You go pluck out his eyes or just kill him... and Sister will pass on to you the Grandmaster Chapter of the ’Yin Yang Conquest Sky Demon Great Transformation Hand’. How about that?"
"It’s not a Grandmaster, is it?"
Zhong Shenxiu countered, his inner alarm bells ringing louder, ’Such generosity? Giving away a secret technique without joining the sect, there must be a catch!’
"Not at all..." Hua Miao seed quite aggrieved, "It’s just an ordinary Disciple, called Qian Wuji. You kill him, and Sister will teach you martial arts... This is also Sister’s selfish wish. Once you practice the ’Yin Yang Conquest Sky Demon Great Transformation Hand’, whether or not you join our Divine Sect, you’ll be one of us."
