Chapter 27: Righteous and Stern (Great Cultivation)
Turning his back to the girl, Liu Yu subtly curved the corner of his mouth.
The act of "a hero saving a beauty" is best done in an upright manner; it's better not to use ambush tactics.
To put it in the words of my previous life, such actions would raise the favorability score even higher.
Gazing directly at the Black Fiend, Liu Yu's expression was "serious," yet his eyes were as calm as water.
At this moment, he finally saw the true appearance of the Black Fiend.
This person was tall and muscular, with rough bronze-colored skin, and a deep scar running from the corner of his eye to the side of his lip.
He looked fierce and intimidating, making people wary at first glance.
The sudden appearance of a cultivator made the Black Fiend quite alert, and he was sizing up Liu Yu.
When he swept his spiritual consciousness, he discovered that Liu Yu was only at the sixth layer of qi refinement, and he immediately relaxed.
"Everyone should deal with their own problems; don’t interfere with others' affairs."
"My friend, you are merely in the mid stage of qi refinement; I advise you not to meddle too much, or else you might attract trouble!"
The Black Fiend spoke in a deep and rumbling voice, clearly laced with threat.
Although this person was of lower cultivation, if he could scare him off, it would be best to avoid unnecessary complications.
"Buzz~"
After speaking, the Black and White Doppelgangers unleashed their spiritual pressure with full force.
They attempted to pressure Liu Yu from both psychological and physical angles, hoping he would retreat.
Hearing this, Yan Qun'er couldn't help but lightly bite her lip.
Her bright eyes were fixed on the figure ahead, clearly tensing up.
"Hmph!"
"You two dare to attack a cultivator of the Yuan Yang Sect; truly bold, do you not fear our sect's pursuit?"
"I, Liu, must aid my senior sister as we are of the same sect. How could I be cowardly?!"
"Today, I, Liu, will definitely stand with my senior sister; the two of you shall not succeed!"
Liu Yu let out a cold snort, accusing the Black and White Doppelgangers with righteous indignation.
Then he expressed his firm stance that he would stand together with his senior sister, refusing to be cowardly.
After saying this, he turned back and slightly nodded at Yan Qun'er, giving her an encouraging glance.
Seeing Liu Yu's look, Yan Qun'er felt a bit more settled inside.
Then, as if recalling something, a smile appeared at the corner of her mouth.
"Since we are treading through muddy waters, let's go together!"
Upon hearing such grandiloquent words, the Black Fiend felt a sharp irritation, and a flash of fierceness appeared in his eyes.
Fearing that the night would be long and dreams numerous, he immediately gestured.
In the next moment, the Black and White Doppelgangers moved simultaneously, launching a fierce attack!
The Black Fiend swung his long knife, shrouded in dark energy, while his muscles bulged, channeling power.
The blade cut through the air with a whooshing sound, each strike releasing a strong gust of wind.
Liu Yu did not dare to be careless; he promptly took out the Giant Wood Sword, using both hands to channel his magical power into it.
In the blink of an eye, it transformed into a broad sword approximately ten feet long and two feet wide, with a flowing azure light, charging toward the enemy cultivator.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
The Giant Wood Sword clashed continuously with the black long knife, creating a series of piercing booms.
Though the Giant Wood Sword was a high-quality medium-grade magical artifact, Liu Yu's spiritual consciousness was also slightly superior to that of an ordinary late stage of qi refinement cultivator.
However, unfortunately, his cultivation was one layer lower than that of the Black Fiend, so he was still at a disadvantage.
The black long knife held by the Black Fiend, though it appeared extraordinary, was in fact just an ordinary medium-grade magical artifact.
Even though this person possessed tremendous strength while wielding the artifact and was one layer of cultivation higher, the actual power exerted was only slightly superior to that of the Giant Wood Sword.
