Chapter 124: You Almost Scared Me to Death
“I wonder how Third Senior Sister is doing over there?”
Looking at the distant battlefield, Su Yan was a little worried.
“Don’t worry about others. Just take care of yourself.”
Xiao Wu said irritably.
That girl Ling Ling was clever and not someone who would die young. Besides, if she couldn’t win, she could still run!
“Mm.”
Su Yan nodded and continued to move forward.
The battle between the Joyful Union Sect and the immortal sects was a very good training ground. And with Senior Sister Xiao Wu by his side, he had no worries.
By fighting with the enemy, Su Yan’s practical combat experience rose rapidly. Although his strength had not improved much, his methods of dealing with the enemy had become much stronger.
He knew what angle to use when striking with his sword, the timing of using techniques, and the control of the spiritual energy in his body. If he hadn’t experienced it personally, he might never have understood these things.
“Looks are also a weapon. It’s really been an eye-opener.”
Su Yan was inspired by his battles with the disciples of the Joyful Union Sect. As a demonic sect, the Joyful Union Sect used seduction as a weapon and would often use charm arts in battle to try and confuse his mind.
Su Yan couldn’t help but think, if they could bewitch him, he could also bewitch them!
All he had to do was smile lightly in battle, or make a slightly lewd gesture, and the other party would be thrown into disarray and then be cut down by his sword.
“The effect seems to be quite good.”
Su Yan’s eyes immediately lit up. He hadn’t even learned charm arts, yet it was already so powerful. If he specialized in it, wouldn’t every frown and every smile be able to captivate people’s hearts, better than any technique!
“No! I won’t allow you to learn those crooked and evil things! Nor are you allowed to bewitch others! Just win with your strength!”
Xiao Wu grabbed his ear and said angrily.
“Ouch, ouch, ouch!”
Su Yan sucked in a sharp breath of cold air. Xiao Wu’s grip was too strong, and it hurt so much that tears were about to stream down his face.
“I won’t allow you to cheat in this way!”
Seeing Su Yan’s face on the verge of tears, Xiao Wu quickly let go and warned him with a serious expression.
“Why not? I feel like I have a great talent for learning charm arts. It would be a pity not to learn it.”
Su Yan was a little puzzled. Charm arts were just a means of mental attack. How did it become a crooked and evil thing?
“In short, just don’t learn it!”
Xiao Wu frowned.
Seeing Su Yan cast a flirtatious glance at other women, she was so angry her heart almost stopped. Although she knew it was a tactic, she just couldn’t accept it.
Just a flirtatious glance had already made her so angry. How could she let him learn more? Her junior brother was hers, and she would absolutely not allow other women to covet him! Not even a little bit of skin!
“That’s something only bad men would study. I don’t want you to come into contact with it. Do you understand?”
Seeing Su Yan’s unwilling face, Xiao Wu warned him solemnly again.
“Alright, alright, I know. I won’t learn it.”
Su Yan was a little disappointed. He hadn’t expected his senior sister to react so strongly. He hadn’t done anything. It was really baffling.
Not being allowed to get lewd in battle made it much more difficult for him to deal with the enemy. But his looks were there. As long as they saw his face, the disciples of the Joyful Union Sect were like they were possessed, subconsciously showing mercy, and could only display eighty percent of their strength.
However, there was great terror between life and death. There were also people who knew the cruelty of the battlefield and showed him no mercy at all.
“The battlefield is not a place where a man should be. I don’t want to fight you, but since we’ve met, I have no choice!”
The Joyful Union Sect woman said coldly. Her cultivation was at the late Foundation Establishment stage, much stronger than Su Yan. In addition, she was going all out. Su Yan was immediately unable to hold on.
“Can Junior Brother do it? Should I go up and help him?”
Xiao Wu, who was hiding in the dark, saw the two of them fighting, her face full of worry. Seeing her junior brother being pressed and beaten, of course, she wanted to help. But if she did, her junior brother would lose the meaning of gaining experience.
“To be at a disadvantage, but not to the point of being crushed… this situation is the most perfect. It can allow Junior Brother to grow a lot.”
At this thought, Xiao Wu forcefully suppressed the anxiety in her heart and decided not to appear for the time being.
After all, according to the comparison of their strengths, even if Su Yan would eventually lose, he could at least last for several hundred rounds. She didn’t have to worry too much.
However, something Xiao Wu hadn’t expected happened.
The Joyful Union Sect woman stabbed with her sword. Logically, this kind of straightforward attack should be easy to dodge. But Su Yan was as if scared silly and stood still.
“Pfft!”
A sword pierced through his chest, and blood splattered. Seeing this, Xiao Wu’s eyes instantly widened, and she was completely stunned.
“Junior Brother!”
Xiao Wu reacted and shouted. She couldn’t care about anything else. Her reason was almost completely lost.
Her figure was as fast as lightning. In an instant, she arrived in front of the Joyful Union Sect woman and sent her flying with a slap, spitting out blood, her life and death unknown.
“Why did you come out, Senior Sister? Didn’t we agree to let me fight alone?”
Su Yan had been about to play dead and launch a sneak attack, but he hadn’t expected his senior sister to suddenly appear and disrupt his plan.
“You’re alright?!”
Xiao Wu’s mouth was agape. She looked at the lively Su Yan and suspected that she was hallucinating.
“What could be wrong with me?”
Su Yan stood up from the ground and patted the dust off his clothes.
The matter was actually very simple. He had found that the other party’s strength was not bad, so he had wanted to use a stratagem. When he saw the woman stab with her sword, he had immediately used the Water Transformation technique to hide his vital points and then crushed a tomato.
“Although a tomato is very different from blood, you can’t tell the difference in a hurry. As long as she relaxes a little, my chance will come.”
Hearing Su Yan’s words, Xiao Wu was a little dumbfounded. Her junior brother looked like an honest person, but he was so insidious in secret!
“You turned your body into water? When did you learn this secret technique, Junior Brother? Why didn’t you tell me?”
“Eh? I didn’t tell you? Well, now you know.”
Su Yan said with a smile.
Xiao Wu shot him an annoyed glare. He said it so casually, but she had almost been scared to death.
She clutched her constantly heaving chest, which was still pounding. Her spiritual energy had reversed, and she had almost been possessed on the spot!
“Forget it. If you don’t want to say it, then don’t. Anyway, he’ll be all mine in the future. Why bother with these things?”
Looking at Su Yan before her, Xiao Wu thought to herself.
***
Although it wasn’t him who had dealt with the strong enemy, Su Yan was still very happy.
“She had already relaxed her guard just now. It would have been very simple for me to win.”
If it weren’t for Xiao Wu’s intervention, the result would not have changed at all. Su Yan felt that this tactic was not bad and wanted to continue using it.
Xiao Wu quickly said, “Wait a minute! Playing dead is a good tactic, but there’s also the possibility of failure. What if someone finishes you off?”
