Pursued by the Top Grade Saintess after Engagement Annulled

Li Qingxue watched their actions, her expression instantly turning anxious.

"Li Qingyu, what are you doing?"

Li Qingyu’s expression held a hint of mystery: "I’m reminding my partners, can’t you see?"

Just as Li Qingxue wanted to continue speaking, Xia Feng, who was in the midst of battle, suddenly interrupted their dispute.

"I forgot to mention when we were negotiating the terms, since you guys aren’t going to help, the spoils from this Sword Demon should be mine, right?"

While summoning layers of Purple Thunder to continue ravaging the Sword Demon, he turned and looked at Li Qingyu with a smile, as if wanting to hear her reply.

But before Li Qingyu could answer, Xia Feng continued coldly: "This needs to be settled first."

"Otherwise, I fear I put all this effort into fighting the Sword Demon, only to get accused of stealing someone else’s spoils, which wouldn’t be good."

His words were clearly aimed at someone, causing Li Qingyu’s face to flush with anger.

"You wretch, the Blood Dragon Sword Heart was clearly my spoil, you clearly stole it from me, and now you’re here twisting the truth..."

Xia Feng looked at her with a bit of a helpless expression, as if particularly tolerant.

"Alright, alright, whatever you say. But I’m talking about the Sword Demon’s spoils now, and I want them."

In any case, the Blood Dragon Sword Heart had already been absorbed by the three of them; Li Qingyu could say whatever she wanted, but there was no way to get the Blood Dragon Sword Heart back.

He was now more interested in what was inside this Sword Demon.

It seemed Li Qingyu had realized something, and quickly said: "No, I agreed to your three conditions, so you’re hired by me, those spoils should belong to me."

Xia Feng frowned slightly, and Li Qingxue interjected: "We agreed to cooperate, so the spoils should be distributed based on contribution."

"Your people didn’t even move, if the Sword Demon really dropped something good, it should belong to... belong to him."

Li Qingyu and Li Qingxue were already at odds, and upon hearing this, the two of them started arguing directly.

Mu Qi, standing nearby, was anxious. They hadn’t yet dealt with the Sword Demon in front of them, and now the Goddess Qingyu was losing her composure over some reward that might not even exist...

She whispered: "Goddess Qingyu, those previous Sword Demons didn’t drop anything, it’s not worth arguing over these things with them."

"Besides, we still need them to help deal with this Sword Demon, and those troubles ahead might also..."

Her voice became quieter, and Li Qingyu frowned unconsciously.

Li Qingyu felt certain that Xia Feng must have discovered something, otherwise he wouldn’t have said such things without reason.

Her expression was conflicted, and she gritted her teeth, saying: "Even if you are hired by us, those three Sword Talismans..."

Xia Feng let out a snort in mid-air, and suddenly his entire body seemed to flicker, as if disappearing from everyone’s eyes.

The Sword Demon across from them seemed puzzled for a moment, but then ignored whatever had happened and charged directly towards Li Qingyu’s direction.

The crowd screamed frantically, and even Li Qingxue was startled; it wasn’t until Xia Tianming cast a protective shield over her that she realized what was happening.

As Li Qingxue quickly left the crowd, the Sword Demon raised its longsword, stained with dark energy, and began to ravage the crowd.

Watching Xia Feng attack the Sword Demon seemed easy, leading these people to believe they could withstand it too, but when they engaged, they found things weren’t as they imagined.

The corrosive energy on the Third Grade Celestial God Realm Sword Demon’s longsword was several times stronger than what they had encountered before.

The tools Li Qingyu had distributed earlier couldn’t withstand even one strike from the Sword Demon.

With just one slash, two people in Li Qingyu’s team were severely injured, and over ten were lightly wounded.

Seeing blood being shed around them, the aura of the Sword Demon seemed to grow stronger, and the dim aura that Xia Feng had previously dispersed with the Great Dao of Purple Thunder condensed again.

Li Qingyu’s expression turned grim; enveloped by the dark aura, the irritable feeling of being possessed by an Evil Sword Spirit surged back into her mind.

Without caring about wasting energy, she pressed on the Jade Bracelet on her wrist, emitting a pure white halo that cleared her muddled head.

Li Qingyu looked at Xia Feng in mid-air with a difficult expression, gritting her teeth as she shouted: "Get rid of this thing already!"

Xia Feng’s state was strange, as the crowd could see him in the air, but when scanning with Divine Sense, there was no trace of his presence.

Seeing Li Qingyu’s anxious look, he nonchalantly found a spot, even pulled a chair out of space, and casually sat in the air, watching the Sword Demon continue to attack those around.

Li Qingyu was furious seeing his demeanor: "We agreed on this, you’ve taken my things, why aren’t you taking action!"

Xia Feng propped his chin, looking at her: "Oh, didn’t I fight for a while?"

"We agreed to cooperate, so it should be done in turns, right?"

"I’ve already injured the Sword Demon, so it should be your turn to attack now, right?"

"And besides, aren’t we discussing the cooperation now?"

"I still have some questions about the division of spoils, so let’s delay the cooperation a bit. You guys keep fighting, and meanwhile, we can continue to discuss..."

Before he could finish, Li Qingyu screamed almost manically: "Fine, fine."

"If this thing drops anything, it’s all yours, just get rid of it quickly."

Xia Feng’s expression showed a trace of regret, as if disappointed that Li Qingyu didn’t insist further.

Li Qingyu’s face twitched slightly, suppressing the anger in her heart as she said: "Quickly resolve this Sword Demon."

Xia Feng smiled, with a hint of nonchalance on his face, slowly putting away the chair he had just taken out.

"If you had said earlier that you couldn’t handle it, I would have dealt with the Sword Demon directly."

The Heaven-Burying Sword in his hand emitted a crisp sword hum once more. The Sword Demon that had been chasing Li Qingyu suddenly stopped, turning its gaze toward Xia Feng’s position in mid-air.

The Sword Demon’s eyes turned even more blood-red, seemingly recognizing Xia Feng, it immediately abandoned those around and charged at Xia Feng’s direction.
