Once Jian Shen killed Ma Qiao by using the moment he froze from fear, Juewang instantly placed the second seal back.
At the same time, Jian Shen also stopped pouring his Qi into the Sword of Despair and began breathing loudly with a forehead covered in sweat.
"That was.... Addicting and terrifying.... "
Panting loudly while feeling his body crave to use such power at all times, and a little scared about exhausting all his Qi at the same time and fainting in the middle of a fight, Jian Shen stood up and looked towards the remaining bandits who were looking towards him with wide eyes that were full of fear.
'Eliminate the Green Dragon Bandits, does that mean.. '
"Yes. You have to kill every single one, husband."
Nodding his head without feeling much conflicted about the massacre he was about to commit, Jian Shen stood erect and began running towards the bandits who were on all sides.
...
As Jian Shen started fighting, or more like killing every bandit he went across, Mei Xing wasn't paying attention to the slaughter, and instead began thinking about the combat techniques Jian Shen used.
From the start till now, Mei Xing who had been following Jian Shen had seen every one the techniques that he had used.
These included both the sword techniques, and the movement technique.
Putting aside the movement technique which Mei Xing wrote off as a high level one, it was the sword techniques which had her perplexed.
At first, she thought that the swords weren't anything special, and it was Jian Shen whose techniques were special and unorthodox.
But, after witnessing the mist let out by the black sword in Jian Shen's hands, Mei Xing didn't know what to think.
On one hand, she still couldn't find anything special about the swords which Jian Shen had.
Other than how detailed the pictures if beasts on the white sword were, the two swords were only sharp, and not made of any precious metals she knew of.
On the other hand, no matter how weird and different the sword techniques Jian Shen uses may be, it was impossible to make a sword release mist, right?
Thinking till here Mei Xing was starting to feel a headache coming up, due to which she shook her head and decided to not think too much about it.
Writing off what she had seen as a combination of Jian Shen's strength, and his weird swords, Mei Xing focused her eyes on Jian Shen who was hunting and killing every single bandit.
What she noticed next was that Jian Shen didn't show even the slightest expression when killing the bandits who were running away, showing that he didn't do it for fun, or did it despite hating it.
He was just indifferent to it.
...
Killing the last of the bandits who almost escaped his grasp and ran away, Jian Shen felt a little pleased from the fact that the two women he advice had followed his words and left.
Because, he truly would've hated to kill them after they involuntarily helped him find this base.
Doing his regular action and getting rid of the blood on his swords, Jian Shen placed them in their regular place when he noticed something.
Given how many bandits Jian Shen killed, despite trying his best to keep his white robes clean, Jian Shen ended up with few drops of blood all over it.
"Chi! I got blood on me."
"You're the only man who loves fighting and hates to get blood on his clothes, Jian Shen."
"Really? I think it's quite normal to not want my clothes dirtied by others."
"Ignore her, husband. I quite like this about you."
Chuckling a little, Jian Shen decided to not directly go back to the city.
Instead, he first went towards the stream of water he saw previously when chasing the women, and got inside it to wash the sweat and dirt off of him.
Spending a while to get clean himself, Jian Shen suddenly found himself remembering that time when he and Yu Yan were in a stream just like this.
"Why think about her so much, Jian Shen? Isn't it fruitless?"
"I agree with the broken sword, husband. That woman chose to leave you, and you didn't stop her either. So why waste your time by reminiscing the past?"
Other than concerns for him, Jian Shen could clearly sense the jealousy his two swords had after he began thinking about Yu Yan.
This somehow led him to remember about Wuying, and his promise to find her when he was strong enough.
Splashing his face with cold water to stop himself before he started thinking too much, Jian Shen got out of the stream and out on new robes.
...
Since the mission he came here for was finished, Jian Shen didn't intend to stay in the Mountain City any longer.
After all, even though it was quite fun to stay in here and have an affair with a married woman, his speed of cultivation had slowed down by a very huge margin.
Therefore, Jian Shen decided to leave and go back to the Great Sect of Lust as soon as possible.
But before he left, there was something he needed to do.
Entering the mayor's house, and sensing that Han Song was not inside it, and double-checking by asking Qingyu and Juewang, Jian Shen went in the direction from which he could sense Meng Lulu.
