"So it's this guy..."

In the night, it was clear that the one confronting Gongsun Qin was the same sword-carrying slave they had seen during the day.

Earlier, he had tried to kill Xu Fan with a palm strike, but Xu Fan had managed to block it.

Now that he had come seeking Xu Fan, it was most likely to cause trouble for him.

"All right, you step back."

Xu Fan didn't deny Gongsun Qin's cultivation level, but her combat experience was far too inferior to that of the sword-carrying slave.

The slave had probably been an expert even before Situ Jing subdued him to become a sword-carrying slave.

After so many years by Situ Jing's side, his combat experience had improved by leaps and bounds from observation and practice.

To fight against a girl like Gongsun Qin, who had just left her master, was somewhat like bullying.

Xu Fan said this and then walked over to Gongsun Qin.

"Xu Fan? You're back?"

It was the first time Gongsun Qin faced such a formidable enemy, and she was wholly focused on the confrontation.

It took a while before she realized it was Xu Fan's voice.

Not good!

Just as Gongsun Qin looked towards him, the sword-carrying slave took the opportunity to launch a sneak attack. Xu Fan cursed under his breath and quickly rushed towards Gongsun Qin!

Like a streak of lightning splitting the night sky! In an instant, Xu Fan closed the gap to Gongsun Qin, wrapped an arm around her waist and hugged her, and then struck out at the sword-carrying slave with his palm!

Boom!

When the two palms met, their Innate Qi Energy clashed and sent a wave of energy surging out.

All of the sword-carrying slave's attention had been on Gongsun Qin, and he hadn't expected Xu Fan to come to the rescue so quickly.

With insufficient follow-through and feeling the overwhelming force of Xu Fan's Innate Qi Energy, the sword-carrying slave gritted his teeth and retreated, flying backward.

"Hmph, kid, you sure are quick to react."

As he stabilized the churning energy within him, the sword-carrying slave looked over at Xu Fan with a chilling gaze.

"Just wait."

Surprisingly to the slave, Xu Fan showed no interest in dealing with him and instead turned his attention to Gongsun Qin in his arms.

"Ow!"

Without a shred of mercy, Xu Fan knocked Gongsun Qin on the forehead.

Already annoyed by the sneak attack, Gongsun Qin instantly cried out with a wronged expression.

"You you you, why did you hit me!"

This woman, she dared to talk back?

At such a critical moment, she had been careless. If not for Xu Fan, she would probably be lying on the ground by now.

"Next time you're careless, I'll be spanking you."

Xu Fan gave Gongsun Qin a sideways look and then removed his hand from her slender waist.

"Go, fetch my sword."

"..."

It clearly wasn't the time to complain about being ordered around, so Gongsun Qin pouted and walked aside.

After a few steps, she paused and looked back at Xu Fan.

As if something had dawned on her, her cheeks reddened under the cover of night.

"Now that the scolding is over, I can have a few words with you."

After sending Gongsun Qin away, Xu Fan finally turned his attention back to the sword-carrying slave.

"..."

The sword-carrying slave was almost choked with rage.

Was Xu Fan really so dismissive of him?

He dared to ignore him and flirt instead?

The notion of attacking Xu Fan had crossed the sword-carrying slave's mind countless times just then, but remembering that Xu Fan's skill was not inferior to his own, he suppressed the urge.

"Kid, you'll regret your arrogance."

Clenching his fists tightly, the Sword-carrying Slave enunciated each word carefully.

If it weren't for his master's intervention during the day, this guy would have already been beaten down by him.

With a new grudge adding to old resentments, anger was surging in the eyes of the Sword-carrying Slave.

"What, do you want to kill me?"

Sensing the murderous intent emanating from the Sword-carrying Slave, Xu Fan couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

A crooked smile gradually formed on his lips as he teased, "Even your master doesn't have the heart to kill me, and you, a dog of a servant, dare to defy orders?"

"You!"

The Sword-carrying Slave couldn't restrain his anger!

Indeed, as Xu Fan had said, he truly didn't dare to disobey Situ Jing's orders.

Suppressing his anger, the Sword-carrying Slave sneered, "That's right, the master indeed ordered not to kill you, but he never said I couldn't torture you!"

It was Situ Jing's intention to make this wretch live a life worse than death. If he acted now, as long as he spared his life and didn't kill him, it wouldn't be considered disobedience.

"Kid, later on, I'll play with your woman right in front of you, and by then, I hope you don't feel too attached."

"What did you say!"

He was plotting to provoke Xu Fan into anger and make him lose his composure, but before Xu Fan could lose his composure, he saw Gongsun Qin, who had left earlier, charging over with her sword.

"Bastard! I'm going to..."

If Xu Fan hadn't blocked her just then, Gongsun Qin would probably have rushed at the Sword-carrying Slave with her sword, ready to fight to the death.

Xu Fan slapped Gongsun Qin's pert backside with a smack.

Taking the Yanluo Sword she had brought, he scolded, "Just a few words are enough to provoke your anger; you deserve a spanking."

"I..."

Gongsun Qin felt wronged. As a maiden, wasn't it a natural reaction for her to feel humiliated by his actions?

Yet, she knew that if she had rushed forward just now, she would have seen no good end, so even though she felt wronged, she dared not say more.

With a ringing sound, Xu Fan drew the Yanluo Sword from its sheath and stepped forward.

"Don't get distracted later. Watch closely and learn well, understand?"

"..."

Seeing Xu Fan's intent to use himself as teaching material for the woman to learn, the Sword-carrying Slave couldn't help but sneer.

"Brat, you dare to claim..."

"Claim your grandpa! Take this, Sword Qi!"

The Sword-carrying Slave had planned to properly humiliate Xu Fan, but Xu Fan wasn't interested in playing by the rules. He sidestepped swiftly and lunged forward!

In an instant, the Yanluo Sword glowed blood-red, transforming into several bursts of Sword Qi, enveloping him!

Damn it!

Launching a lethal move right from the start, this young man was nothing like the woman's previous approach, and for a moment, the Sword-carrying Slave's face was ashen!

He knew the power of the Yanluo Sword better than anyone, and he didn't dare to resist head-on. He hastily dodged backward.

"Cough cough, kid, you..."

The assault was incredibly fast; even though he managed to dodge, the Sword-carrying Slave was still in utter disarray.

Gritting his teeth, he glared fiercely at Xu Fan!

"Remember this, the next time you face an enemy, if they dare to talk back, don't bullshit, just beat the crap out of them."

This sentence was clearly meant for Gongsun Qin who was watching from behind.

Indeed, in a battle of life and death like this, who still bothers with so much propriety?

It's a fight for superiority and survival, not a time for lip service.

Strolling casually, Xu Fan now advanced, sword in hand, towards the Sword-carrying Slave.

His gaze fell directly on the sword carried on the Sword-carrying Slave's back.

The guy was quite strong, an ideal candidate to test how much his Innate Great Achievement had improved.

"Since you are Situ Jing's Sword-carrying Slave, I trust you also understand the Nine Heavens Sword Technique."

"Draw your sword, let me see how skilled you really are."
