The Hedonist Sword God

Chapter 184: Can this be considered as fighting?

With Xiulan joining the fight, Qi Li and the rogue cultivator were no longer in a disadvantageous position.

But this didn't mean that they had obtained an advantage either because with her strength Qi Li could only inflict minor damage on Yin Fan and Xu Tian.

Still, even the most smallest damage taken by them was still damage in the end due to which Yin Fan and Xu Tian knew that they shouldn't keep this up for too long.

Looking at all of this from the side, Jian Shen who was using the power of his swords to defend against the stray attacks and gales which were produced when the five of them were fighting, finally made a move.

No longer interested in just watching, Jian Shen chose the most perfect moment to pass by the others and appear right in front of Xiulan.

"What do you say we let these old friends catch up with each other?"

Not waiting for a reply, Jian Shen tool hold of the stunned Xiulan's waist and flew away turning the fight once again into a two vs two.

Seeing this, Yin Fan was unsure on whether she should be happy that Jian Shen helped her out, or angry at how he was so obviously flirting with a woman in front of her.

Either way, she had to focus on the fight where Qi Li had an ugly expression on her face due to their saving grace being taken away right in front of her eyes.

Taking Xiulan with him quite a lot of distance away because she wasn't resisting in the slightest, Jian Shen asked, "Is that whom the hidden card you were talking about?"

"Yup."

"Impressive."

"Thank y... "

Before Xiulan could finish speaking, Jian Shen who still had one his hands around her waist used the other hand to move the stray hair away from her face while saying, "But not good enough to be a trump card."

The rogue Genesis Realm Cultivator went by the name Han Guozhi.

After being hunted for a long time by the Royal Wan Family which ruled the Taiyang Empire for stealing a particular box, they decided to forgive him if he chose to fight in the war for his side.

As for why Guozhi chose to accept the deal, it was because he wanted to be able to spend his life the way he wanted without being on the run due to the constant and never-ending chase.

And, it was also possible for Wan Han to suddenly decide that he personally wanted to get rid of him. And when that happened, even Guozhi wouldn't be able to escape with his life intact.

Still, even though Guozhi knew that he wasn't capable of fighting against the Sect Leaders and Emperors, he hadn't expected for the difference between them to be so high.

Seems like using that herb he stole to increase his cultivation was both a good and bad decision.

It was good because he managed to enter the Genesis Realm, but bad due to how his cultivation could never be increased which would forever put him at a disadvantage against those who managed to enter the Genesis Realm without using a herb as he did.

Because Xiulan who was helping them was taken away, Qi Li and Guozhi could not fight against Yin Fan and Xu Tian for long before forcing Mo Ying to join them while one of them started fighting against Qiao Delun to keep him from turning Mo Ying's abilities useless.

As for Jian Shen and Xiulan, they couldn't just continue to stand there in the air while hugging each other for long, because both the Emperors were looking straight at them.

While Jian Shen didn't mind this in the slightest, Xiulan who came from a family with a long line of generals that put their duties in front everything else couldn't not care about what Wan Han was thinking.

Moving away from Jian Shen who was reluctant to stop hugging her, Xiulan said, "Sorry Jian Shen, but I cannot hold back against you."

"No problem. I'm confident in taking anything you dish out."

Smiling in response, Jian Shen placed the swords on the sides of his waist and waited for Xiulan to make a move.

"Be careful Jian Shen, here I come."

Moving at the end of her words, Xiulan despite having an ugly and reluctant look on her face slashed the sword in her right hand towards Jian Shen.

Stepping to the side before the sword even got too close to him, Jian Shen who had no intention of attacking Xiulan was being as careful as possible so that he didn't get hurt by her.

Shhhhkkkk!

Even though Jian Shen had moved way too soon, the sword in Xiulan's hand just barely missed him causing him to say, "That was close."

Letting out a sigh from relief, Xiulan had made up her mind to give up the position as a general of the Taiyang Empire as soon as possible.

Turning around in the air, Xiulan used the sword in her left hand to slash at Jian Shen's waist.

Perform a flip to evade the attack, Jian Shen patted the woman on her head and said, "Silky hair."

"You... Are you even taking this seriously?"

Increasing her speed and slashing with both the swords at the same time, Xiulan forced Jian Shen to make rapid movements in haste to dodge the attacks and get close to her.

Kissing Xiulan on the cheek, Jian Shen asked, "Didn't you comprehend Sword Qi, yet?"

Blushing a little, Xiulan out some distance between them and honestly said, "I haven't had the time to do so."

"No worries. I'll try and teach it to you when we obtain some alone time."

Turning her head in surprise at how Jian Shen had used her moment of flustered carelessness to appear behind her, Xiulan could only let him kiss her on the other cheek while his hands almost hugged her waist.
