"The mother sword attacks, the child sword strikes stealthily; one in the light, one in the shadows, light and darkness coexist." You Ying was overjoyed, wielding the mother and child swords in each hand. The mother sword in her right hand shone brightly, while the child sword in her left hand remained invisible and concealed, like a venomous snake lurking in the shadows, ready to strike the enemy's vitals from an unpredictable angle. Once the child sword cut the skin, its blood-transforming power would prevent the blood from clotting, causing the wound to bleed profusely. If the enemy was overly wary of the invisible child sword, the mother sword could seize the opportunity to launch a fatal attack, using the child sword as bait to slay the enemy.
Youying held the mother sword and the child sword, pondering each for a moment. Then, she embedded the child sword into the hilt of the mother sword, and the two became one, transforming into a nine-headed magatama with distinct shapes. At this moment, the sword possessed nine unique characteristics of both the mother and child swords, making it unpredictable and capable of handling all kinds of battle situations with ease.

"This sword is agile and versatile, truly an excellent weapon for dealing with all kinds of enemies." She cherished this sword dearly, and her delicate face was filled with an irrepressible smile of joy.
Upon hearing this, Han Feng asked, "How is things on Zhuzhao's side?"
Youying immediately focused her mind and carefully examined her sister's soul condition. After repeatedly confirming, she reported back to Han Feng: "Master, Zhuzhao's soul is intact and can withstand the refining of the new life weapon."

Han Feng was comforted after hearing this, but then said regretfully, "We only have this one high-quality spiritual item. The rest are all of mediocre quality and need the tempering of time to become useful. The Candle Illumination will remain vacant for now, and we will fill the gap when we find a better one in the future."
Han Feng cast his gaze into the depths of the icy pool and gestured to You Ying, "Are you good at diving?"
“Indeed.” Youying responded, gripping the nine-headed magatama tightly in her right hand, and resolutely leaped into the icy pool, her figure disappearing instantly into the dark, cold water.
Half an hour later, Youying emerged from the water, her soaked dress clinging to her body, revealing her curvaceous figure. However, she was breathing heavily, her breath coming in ragged gasps. (Six Six.)

"Master, the pool is too deep for me to bear." Han Feng was quite surprised to hear this. Even You Ying could not withstand the pressure at the bottom of the pool, so he knew it was even more impossible for him. He sighed and said, "Such a cold pool, we have no choice but to give up exploring it."
Looking up at the sky, dusk was deepening. Han Feng instructed, "It's getting late. Carry me ashore."
Youying handed the Nine-Headed Jade to Han Feng. Han Feng gripped the heavy halberd and the Nine-Headed Jade tightly in his left hand, wrapped his right arm around Youying's soft breasts in a "four-three-three" gesture, and wrapped his legs around her supple waist to ensure his safety.
"Master, hold on tight," Youying reminded her, channeling her inner strength and displaying her exquisite lightness skill. Despite carrying one person and wielding a hundred-pound sword, she moved as lightly as a willow catkin. On the cliff face, protruding rocks became her footholds; after several leaps and bounds, she finally managed to reach the ground with a precarious footing. Now, she was panting heavily, beads of sweat forming on her forehead. The evening was bitterly cold; the warm sun of day had faded, and the winter night was chilling, with all things hiding away to avoid the cold.
"Tonight we'll split up to hunt wild animals and prepare dinner. Wild herbs would be even better," Han Feng said, turning to You Ying. "Remember not to stray too far from me, just in case."
Youying agreed, took the new sword, and headed in another direction, while Han Feng, carrying the heavy halberd, chose another path.
Three days later, the loli Yan Lingji, accompanied by the young Wushuang Gui, traveled through the Chu Kingdom and finally arrived at a place a hundred miles away from Daliang City.
"The closer we get, the stronger the feeling becomes." Yan Lingji looked up at the dense forest in front of her. It was covered in white snow, a scene rarely seen in the Baiyue region.
Seeing this, Wushuang Gui asked, "Who exactly are you looking for? Judging from your hurried pace, you seem to have a specific goal."
Yan Lingji replied calmly, "Finding someone is of utmost importance to me." She thought to herself, "More important than my master."
Seeing that Yan Lingji was unwilling to elaborate, Wushuang Gui did not ask any further questions, and the two continued on their way.
After walking another two or three miles, Yan Lingji's eyes lit up, and she hurried off. A moment later, a burly figure came into view, cradling a brown bear in the snowy forest, feasting heartily.
"I've finally found you!" Yan Lingji whispered joyfully.
The figure seemed to sense something, slowly turning around. A pair of six-lined pupils revealed calmness and confusion, and blood trickled from the corner of its mouth, stained with bits of bear meat.
"No...you are not him!" Yan Lingji exclaimed in shock. Upon seeing his icy blue eyes, her joy vanished, replaced by a look of gloom...
In my memory, my benefactor's brother didn't have such strange eyes...
"I clearly sensed my way here by following the Fire Spirit Thorn..." Yan Lingji's mind raced, and a chilling guess suddenly arose: "Could this person have murdered my benefactor's brother and stolen his treasure?"
The more she thought about it, the more reasonable her deduction seemed. Her beautiful eyes flashed with murderous intent and hatred, and she shouted sharply, "You actually killed him! I will avenge him!"
Enraged, Yan Lingji instantly unleashed her flames, sweeping towards the unfamiliar figure.
"Where did this little brat come from, accusing me of murder?" Han Feng looked bewildered, but seeing the flames approaching, his face lit up with joy: "It's not easy to start a fire in the snow, so we can only eat raw meat. This fire has come at just the right time."
He quickly skinned the bear, roasted the bear meat over the fire, and chewed it greedily. At the same time, he flashed forward and smashed his left fist like a hammer at the strange girl who harbored resentment towards him.
This palm strike was extremely heavy.
Han Feng showed no mercy whatsoever; to him, anyone harboring malicious intent was an enemy.
Since they are enemies, we should kill them directly.
As to who the other person was, it was truly irrelevant; he had no interest in investigating the deceased's name.

"boom!"
The powerful internal force forcefully shattered the air, and the explosion echoed.
This immense force propelled a swift and fierce attack. The unfamiliar girl was unable to dodge in an instant, and his palm shattered the protective shield of flames.
It struck him directly in the chest.
"Crack, click, click!"
In an instant.
A series of cracking sounds, like bones breaking, came from inside the girl's body.
Blood suddenly gushed from her mouth, and her petite and graceful body was involuntarily lifted into the air, crashing straight into a broken, withered branch several feet away. It looked as if she was about to be pierced through by the branch and die on the spot.
Suddenly, a burly young man rushed out.
He narrowly caught his flying companion, then glared fiercely at Han Feng, grabbed his companion with his left hand, and clenched his right fist.
With complete focus, they launched a fierce attack on the approaching, unfamiliar youth. 29
29 "Bang!"
The clash of two fists, one large and one small, produced a sound like metal striking metal.
The aftershocks spread outwards, creating a swirling vortex of snowflakes. Han Feng and his opponent were each forced back several steps.
He only retreated three steps, while his opponent retreated five steps.
The difference in physical strength between the two was immediately apparent.
Wushuang Gui glared angrily at Han Feng, then picked up the heavily injured Yan Lingji and fled at top speed, as fast as a charging rhinoceros, unstoppable.
Deep in the forest.
Han Feng gazed at the two unfamiliar men and women as they walked away, but made no attempt to pursue them.
Speed is not his forte at this moment.
His physique was strong and resilient, his energy abundant, and his weight substantial. In his current state, swiftness was truly difficult to achieve. Yet, with Youying so close, how could the two possibly escape?
"Let him live for now; there are still questions to ask."
Han Feng used the Six Paths Immortal Seal secret technique to transmit his voice to You Ying.
While killing these lackeys was easy, he wanted to find the mastermind behind it all and eliminate him as well.
Otherwise, one will feel uneasy and lose one's appetite.
After giving instructions to Youying, he stood still, gnawing on the bear meat he had just roasted, chewing it as he pleased, and swallowing it.
He frowned deeply, deep in thought.
"How did the Fire Spirit Thorn that I casually gave away end up in the hands of that little girl?"
He remembers it vividly.
Upon returning to the tribe, the girl they had rescued suddenly disappeared. However, footprints of an adult man and hoofprints of a horse were found on the nearby ground.
In addition, they encountered a large number of disguised Chu troops who had infiltrated the area.
He concluded that an ordinary Baiyue girl, falling into the hands of the Chu army, whom he had been enemies for generations, would not have a good ending.
Such an outcome is self-evident and requires no further consideration.
"Perhaps the girl just now obtained this item by some means after the tragic death of that girl years ago."
"And it has now been refined into my own life weapon."
"That burly man seemed familiar, but I couldn't quite recall where we had met." Han Feng frowned, trying his best to remember.
"How are you? Can you hold on?" Wushuang Gui carried Yan Lingji and fled at top speed, his fair face full of worry.
"It's alright, it's alright!" Yan Lingji said with difficulty, blood trickling from the corner of her lips: "It was just a hair's breadth away from breaking through the heart meridian, it was a close call!"
030 "Don't speak! I'll help you after things are settled."
At this point, Wushuang Gui suddenly fell silent, even stopping his rapid running.
Not far ahead, a graceful figure appeared out of nowhere.
The person had their back to the two of them, wearing a tight black dress that fluttered in the wind, and holding a strange sword in their right hand, which they had plunged into the ground.
"This road is blocked."
"Obey me and return with me to see my master, and you will suffer less."
Upon hearing the cold, sharp voice of the young girl ahead, Wushuang Gui and Yan Lingji's expressions changed slightly. The fact that the other party could appear before them silently meant that she was undoubtedly a master.
"If you cannot, then leave me behind and escape on your own."
