As expected of a martial artist at the pinnacle of the Finger Xuan realm. Other than the near-fatal strike that pierced through the heart, the Fifth Raccoon's expression did not change at all in the following strikes. He merely looked down indifferently at the young man who seemed to be possessed by the devil. However, the Fifth Raccoon's Vajra Physique was destroyed by the initial strike. The tricky part was that it was similar to a willow branch bursting with murderous intent. The Fifth Raccoon's boundless inner energy was unable to gather the scattered Qi in a short period of time. It was as if the Sword Immortal had carved out several ravines and diverted them. Furthermore, the Fifth Raccoon's later strikes were all meticulous. They were all aimed at the key acupuncture points, like a river flowing in and diverting the flow, digging a few large wells. Although the Fifth Raccoon did not show any signs of weakness, he knew that he had truly failed miserably this time.
The Mountain Master of Troop Raising Mountain said hoarsely, "How did the last strike come about?"
Hsu Fengnian looked coldly at the Finger Xuan realm expert. He did not say anything and only gave him another strike.
This strike was not easy to come by. It was unimaginable to outsiders. He borrowed Li Chungang's Two Sleeves Green Snake and Sword to Open the Gate of Heaven, borrowed Old Huang's Nine Swords, borrowed Đồng Thái and the Devil Luo Yang from the battle outside Dunhuang, borrowed Dragon Tree Monk's Lion's Roar in the canyon, and even borrowed Dragon Slaying in his dream on the mountaintop that night. Everything he had seen with his own eyes was integrated into that strike. When the Longhu Celestial Master Zhao Xituan visited Beiliang Palace for the first time, he had privately told Hsu Fengnian his fortune. However, he did not say anything outright. He only said that if His Royal Highness did not meet with a calamity, it would not be a problem for him to live for sixty years. Hsu Fengnian didn't really believe in these prophecies, but for someone who was most familiar with the pros and cons of going against the flow of the Great Yellow Court, Hsu Fengnian weighed this knife in his mind. He was afraid that he would lose about six years of his lifespan, which was originally sixty years. This made Hsu Fengnian, who never made a losing deal, think about it and give the fifth raccoon another knife.
"You and I both know very well that you can only leave the Rou Ran mountain range alive if you do not kill me. That's because eight hundred armored soldiers have already ascended the mountain. Even if you are possessed by a sword immortal, you will not be able to slay the Rou Ran garrison's constant stream of six thousand cavalry. I'm afraid this is also the reason why you haven't taken my life yet. "
Hsu Fengnian grinned and poked another vital acupuncture point on the purple-clothed man. The Fifth Raccoon, who was being held by the neck, was really powerful. Even in such a situation, he still looked like an expert who was sure to win. This kind of determination was really creepy.
Blood dripped from the corner of the Fifth Raccoon's mouth. With a calm expression, he said, "I can promise you that I will not take revenge today. Once you leave the Rou Ran mountain range, I will send people to hunt you down."
The Fifth Raccoon did not say any of those lofty words about letting bygones be bygones, nor did he boast about keeping his promises. However, it was precisely because of these straightforward words that, in a situation where they were mortal enemies, that it was somewhat convincing.
Hsu Fengnian raised his head and asked, "You don't believe that I'll stab you in the heart again?"
The Fifth Raccoon remained silent as a mocking smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.
Xu Fengnian stopped but did not retract his blade. He said self-deprecatingly, "There's no such thing as an opportunist in this world. I know that you also have the means to avoid death or to trade a life for a life, but you're the Mountain Master of the Army Banishing Mountain. You have a high position and authority, not to mention the possibility of touching the threshold of Earth Immortal, so don't think about dying together with a small character like me. This isn't a good deal at all. As for me, I'll still stab you without hesitation. You're a magnanimous person, so please forgive me. Otherwise, once you reconnect your Qi Ji, I won't be a match for you no matter what.
The Fifth Raccoon laughed until he started coughing. However, he still nodded his head, displaying the bearing of an ambitious and ruthless person.
Hsu Fengnian lamented in his heart. Could he not be so infuriating that he could still talk and laugh after suffering such a heavy injury? While lamenting, he gently released his grip and allowed the Fifth Raccoon to land on the ground. However, the Spring Thunder Blade had already pierced into the purple-clothed man's Juque acupuncture point and he did not plan to pull it out. Only by doing so could Hsu Fengnian be at ease. If not for the fact that they were in the Fifth Raccoon's territory, Hsu Fengnian would have pierced through all the acupuncture points on this fellow's body. The otherworldly Nascent Soul had returned while rubbing its belly. Its mouth was scarlet red, but it was the blood of the Rouran soldiers. It looked like it had eaten its fill. It carried Xu Beizhi back from the forest. Blue Bird put away the luggage and carried it on her back. The three Great Qin steel swords were also returned to their sheaths. Caution is the parent of safety. Hsu Fengnian put away the nine flying swords in his sleeves. The three Tai-Ah Morning Dew Golden Strands of Sword Embryo were nailed into the Fifth Raccoon's three major acupuncture points, the Xuanji Dove Tail Divine Watchtower. Together with the Spring Thunder Blade, they completely suppressed the Fifth Raccoon's Qi Sea. The Mountain Lord of the Army Carrying Mountain smiled faintly. He did not resist and allowed this cautious young man to lay out his plan.
The more composed the Fifth Raccoon, whose luxurious purple clothes were in tatters, was, the more cautious Hsu Fengnian became.
Without needing Hsu Fengnian to say anything, the Fifth Raccoon waved his hand and signaled the soldiers surrounding them to retreat.
The group descended the mountain and walked to the foot of the mountain. The Mountain Lord of the Army Carrying Mountain's retainers brought over four warhorses according to the Fifth Raccoon's order. After confirming that they had not been tampered with, Hsu Fengnian and the Fifth Raccoon rode on the same horse. Then, they asked for four more warhorses from the Rouran Cavalry. Blue Bird and the otherworldly item Xu Beizhi each rode a warhorse and followed closely behind.
The Fifth Raccoon had no intention of letting the Rouran Cavalry tail them. He ordered this cavalry troop that had been attacked by the otherworldly item to stay at the foot of the mountain.
He urged his horse to gallop down south.
