After the Engagement Was Broken Off, I Was Pursued by Peerless Holy Maidens - Chapter 28:

Chapter 28: The Heaven-Slaying Sword Holy Land’s Holy Maiden Yun Xuezhi:

Buzz!

A pitch-black greatsword descended from the sky, carrying an overwhelming sword intent. It pierced through the massive energy hand and plunged deep into the ground.

BOOM!

A thunderous explosion echoed as the giant hand shattered into pieces.

The sudden change caught both sides off guard, and the entire battlefield fell silent.

Xia Feng felt a sense of relief—she had finally arrived.

Judging by that Heaven-Slaying Sword Holy Land aura, it had to be the top Holy Maiden of the Southern Region’s Heaven-Slaying Sword Holy Land—Yun Xuezhi, the Heaven-Slaying Sword Holy Land Holy Maiden.

He looked up and saw a woman in a black long dress slowly descending from the sky.

Her hands were folded behind her back, and her back was facing Xia Feng, concealing her face.

But anyone who held the title of “top-tier Holy Maiden” could not possibly be lacking in appearance.

Amid everyone’s gaze, the woman stood on the hilt of the greatsword with one foot, coldly staring at the Mist Mountain Sect’s Grand Elder. Her voice carried killing intent as she said, “A mere Martial Grandmaster dares to try and kill my husband?”

The Grand Elder swallowed nervously and stammered, “W-Who are you? D-Don’t you know that Xia Feng has unclear ties with the five top Holy Maidens of the Northern Region?”

The woman glanced over her shoulder at Xia Feng. Her stunningly beautiful face was tinged with coldness, but the moment her eyes met Xia Feng’s, a radiant smile bloomed that stunned even him.

She winked playfully with her big dark eyes and said, “Don’t be afraid, darling. As long as I’m here, no one will harm you.”

“Uh… Thanks.”

Xia Feng opened his mouth, then finally managed to squeeze out two words.

Yun Xuezhi smiled gently, then turned back to the Grand Elder, her expression icy once again. She spoke coldly, “My name is Yun Xuezhi, from the Southern Region’s Heaven-Slaying Sword Holy Land.”

“One of the five top holy lands of the Southern Region?”

“Yun Xuezhi? Isn’t she the top Holy Maiden of the Heaven-Slaying Sword Holy Land?”

The Xia family’s guards whispered excitedly.

With Yun Xuezhi protecting the Xia family, who would still dare try to destroy them?

Xia Feng’s parents exchanged glances, both clearly stunned.

Another top Holy Maiden?

And from the far-off Southern Region no less.

When did their son even become acquainted with the Southern Region’s Holy Maidens?

They both turned to stare at Xia Feng, scanning him from head to toe. Was this really their son?

Xia Feng gave a dry chuckle and said, “Father, Mother, if I said this is the first time I’ve seen her… would you believe me?”

“We believe you! No matter what you say, we believe it.”

His mother smiled brightly.

His father also nodded seriously.

Xia Feng rubbed his nose, speechless.

“Heaven-Slaying Sword Holy Land… Yun Xuezhi?”

Liu Shiyu muttered, her expression growing increasingly deranged. “That trash—how could he know a top-tier Holy Maiden from the Southern Region? Fake! You must be a fake! You dare pretend to be a top Holy Maiden? Just wait—I’ll spread the word and have the Heaven-Slaying Sword Holy Land hunt you down!”

She refused to believe it—couldn’t accept it. In her eyes, Xia Feng was trash. How could he possibly know a top-tier Holy Maiden from the Southern Region?

Pretending?

Everyone froze, looking at Liu Shiyu as if she were already dead.

Who would dare pretend to be a top-tier Holy Maiden from the Southern Region?

Yun Xuezhi glanced at Liu Shiyu and said coldly, “I’ll deal with you later.”

Then she turned to the Mist Mountain Sect’s Grand Elder and said icily, “You dared to think about killing my husband. I can’t let you live.”

Buzz!

A terrifying sword intent surged out from her, becoming so concentrated it turned into substance, manifesting as numerous three-foot swords floating before her.

“Cloud Mountain Wall!”

The Grand Elder roared, forming a massive wall over a meter thick before him—a defensive martial technique of the Mist Mountain Sect.

Even so, he was still nervous. He summoned an additional three-foot layer of protective energy around his body.

Buzz!

The endless swords shot forth, crashing against the wall. In just a few breaths, the wall was obliterated and slammed into the protective energy shield.

Crack!

The shield shattered instantly.

“No! Sect Master, save me!”

The Grand Elder’s pupils shrank in terror as he cried out.

But Yun Shan had no intention of saving him.

The moment Yun Xuezhi appeared, and Niu Zhan got distracted by her attack on the Grand Elder, Yun Shan seized the chance to turn and flee into the sky.

Squelch!

The countless swords pierced through the Grand Elder’s body, shattering even his Golden Core.

“No!”

He let out a final, despairing howl before collapsing backward.

Yun Xuezhi glanced in the direction Yun Shan had fled, then soared into the sky. With a flick of her hand, the pitch-black greatsword rose from the ground and flew into her grip.

She raised the sword and slashed through the air toward Yun Shan’s retreating figure.

A terrifying sword light sliced through the void and vanished in an instant.

A moment later, a loud explosion echoed in the distance—faintly accompanied by a scream.

Yun Xuezhi shook her head lightly and muttered in dissatisfaction, “Tch, he survived.”

Survived?

Yun Shan was a Martial Venerable! And she had injured him from such a distance with a single slash—that was terrifying.

Everyone looked at Yun Xuezhi with undisguised fear.

Hovering in the air, Niu Zhan let out a long sigh of relief.

Thank goodness he hadn’t fallen for Yun Shan’s provocation and had firmly stood by the Xia family. Otherwise, he might’ve been the one facing Yun Xuezhi’s wrath.

She could injure a Martial Venerable with one attack from a distance—killing him wouldn’t be hard.

How the hell did Xia Feng know so many top-tier Holy Maidens? And why were they all throwing themselves at him?

Maybe… he really was a born Divine Physique.

No matter what, from now on, he had to stand firmly on Xia Feng’s side.

Forget six Holy Maidens—even Xia Feng’s current talent alone would be a massive asset to the Iron Horn Sect in the future.

He exhaled and descended from the sky, then respectfully saluted Yun Xuezhi. “Niu Zhan, Sect Master of the Iron Horn Sect, greets the Heaven-Slaying Sword Holy Land Holy Maiden.”

Yun Xuezhi glanced at him and nodded. “You did well.”

“It was my duty,” Niu Zhan quickly replied.

Yun Xuezhi flew down to Xia Feng’s side, grabbed his arm affectionately, and smiled playfully. “Darling, I’m glad I wasn’t too late. So—what do we do with them? I’ll leave it to you.”

She pointed toward Liu Shiyu and her family.

Thud!

Liu Tianxiang dropped to his knees and begged, “Xia Feng, for the sake of the friendship between our families, please spare us. We were deceived by Yun Shan. Otherwise, even with a hundred times the courage, we wouldn’t dare go against the Xia family!”

“Shiyu, hurry, kneel!”

Liu Tianxiang tugged on Liu Shiyu, urging her to beg for mercy too.

But she burst into crazed laughter. “Father, you want me to kneel to that trash? Never! I’d rather die than kneel to him! He’s garbage—always has been!”

She had completely lost it.

Family friends?

They humiliated and betrayed the Xia family publicly at the engagement banquet, even tried to steal the position of City Lord—and now they claimed to be family friends?

As for Liu Shiyu—Xia Feng hadn’t intended to kill her even after she publicly broke off the engagement.

But now…

Xia Feng glanced at the Xia family guards who had been killed by the Liu family’s men. A flicker of killing intent flashed in his eyes as he said calmly, “Kill them all.”
