  Chapter 24: Seeing Her Again

  "Two spirit stones!" Lin Yi entered a nearby spirit stone shop, directly taking out one hundred silver coins. One spirit stone cost fifty silver coins, which was the unified price of the Great Ming Empire.

  In the shop, in addition to the dazzling white spirit stones, there were also a few green strange spirit stones. Lin Yi used his spiritual power to probe them, and found that their spiritual power was actually more than ten times that of the white spirit stones!

  "What's this?" Lin Yi looked at it with wide eyes.

  "Really a country bumpkin!" The shop owner chuckled, "This is a second-grade spirit stone, 500 silver coins per piece, can you afford it?"

  No wonder the spiritual energy is so powerful, it turns out to be a higher-level spiritual stone! If you can put a second-level spiritual stone in the puppet body, it will definitely exert even greater power. Unfortunately, Lin Yi really can't afford it.

  After strolling around the market, the sky gradually darkened. Lin Yi was just about to return to his sect when he suddenly felt a strong killing intent emerging from a nearby alleyway.

  "A very strong killing intent, definitely more than one person!" Lin Yi's eyes narrowed, and he jumped over several walls, looking inside.

  "It was actually her!" Lin Yi stood at a distance, peeking from around a corner, where there were over ten black-clad men surrounding a white-clothed woman.

  The woman was Chen Shuangshuang.

  "Female devil, destroy my Hei Sha Men, today you must die!" The black-robed old man was clearly the leader, his aura intimidating, and judging by his demeanor, he was also a powerful cultivator, otherwise he wouldn't have been able to stand in front of Chen Shuangshuang giving orders.

  Chen Shuang's eyebrows furrowed and her slender fingers moved slightly, clearly showing her distaste for the title "Female Devil".

  "Kill!" The old man gave the order, and all the black-clad men had already skillfully formed an attacking formation, trapping Chen Shuangshuang firmly within. Each sword was like a fierce beast, roaring into motion.

  Chen Shuangshuang remained motionless, her white and sacred figure resembling a fairy wrapped in snowy clothes. However, she was filled with an aura of terrorizing killing intent. The cyan short sword on her body seemed to have sensed the killing intent and let out a soft hum, clearly indicating that it was a spiritual artifact, one that possessed a spirit soul.

  "Witch, draw your sword!" The old man gazed at Chen Fengfeng vigilantly, his hand pressing down on the hilt of his sword to suppress its bloodthirst.

  "Kill them, no need to draw swords!" Chen Shuangshuang was also a proud person, her greenish-white fingers moved lightly, like playing the piano, several flames-like breaths had already rushed out.

  Turn gas into sword!

  The sword energy was rampant, like an evil spirit from hell, wherever it passed, it carried the air of death. Those black-clad men screamed as their entire bodies were pierced by the sword energy.

  Lin Yi took a deep breath of cold air. These black-clothed men, at least, were strong practitioners of the Seventh or Eighth Refining Realm, but in front of Chen Shuangshuang, they really didn't have much difference from paper paste.

  How strong is this woman?

  Whoosh! The old man has drawn his sword, taking advantage of the unbroken swordsmanship, he continuously slashed out a dozen or so sword shadows, with a sharp blade that killed everything, surrounding Chen Xue.

  Any single blade of air can easily cut through stone, let alone flesh.

  Chen Shuang's figure remained still, her clothes fluttering in the gust of wind brought by the air blade, as if dancing like a fairy, with her black hair flowing freely.

  Extinction! A sharp light flashed in Chen Shuang's eyes, her momentum suddenly surged, and her slender body seemed to be possessed by a demon, suddenly bursting out with strong lights that completely extinguished those air blades, crushing them!

  And those unlucky men in black, like being hit by a rain of arrows, were covered with wounds all over their bodies, died tragically, and even the lucky ones who managed to survive became blood-covered men, having no strength to fight again.

  The old man barely parried with his sword, spitting out blood repeatedly from his mouth, and his eyes were shocked, "......has actually cultivated the 'Ten Thousand Swords Manual'!"

  Similarly a strong aura master, this old man seemed like a mouse seeing a cat, and had no more killing intent. Now there was only one thought: escape!

  Chen Shuang's face was as cold as an iceberg, and she didn't respond. Instead, she raised her jade finger, and a sword beam burst out, heading towards the old man who had already escaped.

  "Ah......" The old man used his sword to block, but the entire sword was shattered by the shock. He had no choice but to turn his body and shoot out explosively. His right arm was directly cut off by the sword light, and blood splattered in mid-air.

  Seeing the old man escape, Chen Shuang did not chase after him. Instead, she shifted her gaze to one side of the alley.

  A man in black, heavily injured, stumbled and staggered towards Lin Yi's direction.

  "Get out of the way!" Seeing someone standing in the alley blocking his path, and that person being a martial artist at the second level of the Refining Realm, the black-clothed man bellowed loudly.

  Lin Yi didn't move, originally he hadn't planned on getting involved in this trivial matter, with Chen Shuangshuang's skills, the black-clothed man wouldn't be able to escape.

  However, the contemptuous gaze in the eyes of the black-clad man made Lin Yi very uncomfortable.

  You think you're superior, huh! You look down on me, huh! You can't kill me, huh! Lin Yi sneered and his sword flew out of his hand at an extremely fast speed, leaving a bloody mark on the black-clothed man's neck in an instant.

  The man in black convulsed, staring at Lin Yi incredulously. He hadn't expected Lin Yi to dare kill him, and even more so, he hadn't expected the speed of Lin Yi's sword to be incredibly fast.

  However, he no longer had the chance to regret it.

  Chen Shuang furrowed her brow, originally intending to leave directly, she didn't want to see Lin Yi at all, but after catching a glimpse of the sword move Lin Yi had just made, she changed her mind and walked over.

  "What sword technique is this?" Chen Xiangxian asked with a blank expression. She had never seen such a sword technique before, neither from the Chen family nor the Tianxuan Sect, but Lin Yi's display just now was extremely powerful and seemed to contain the essence of the sword path, which was quite strange.

  "Lin Yi's swordsmanship, want to learn?" Lin Yi said with a sneer, he disliked the condescending gaze in Chen Shuangshuang's eyes, as if he should be humble and servile in front of her, like a stray dog!

  Chen Shuang's eyebrows furrowed, her face looking somewhat unpleasant. "You know, I really dislike this tone of yours!"

  "Unfortunately, I really like it!" Lin Yi said with a smile, looking as if he wanted to beat me up.

  "I know you're not satisfied, but playing such a childish trick to regain that bit of pitiful dignity, is it worth it?" Chen Shuang's words were equally merciless, she thought Lin Yi was just trying to get her attention, "Heh heh, even if I gave it to you, would you dare take it?"

  Lin Yi was speechless, this woman was indeed not ordinary in her arrogance and pride!

  "Alms? How ridiculous!" Lin Yi clenched his fist and replied calmly, "My dignity was earned through my fists, forged by this sword. Was it given to me?"

  If he humbles himself to this woman, submitting to her every demand, then he will never gain dignity. Only when he tramples on her arrogance one day will dignity naturally belong to the strong.

  Chen Shuang's gaze flickered with a hint of turmoil before disappearing without a trace. "Big words indeed! However, I can give you one chance. If three months later you can pass the assessment and become an inner disciple, I will believe that it is not empty talk. Moreover, on the day of the annulment of our engagement, I will leave behind a last shred of dignity for you. How about it?"

  "If I can't, then let me, Chen Xiangxiang, be dismissed honestly and become a useless person!" Chen Xiangxiang's tone changed, with a hint of coldness.
