Chapter 17 Seduction

The beauty before him possessed a face full of ‘desire,’ with captivating peach blossom eyes, a camel nose, and slightly thick lips. Her hair was subtly wavy, and beneath her dark red gauze dress, her skin glowed white in the firelight. With a figure like a gourd spirit, no normal man could deny her allure.

But Ye Chuxiao saw more. He could keenly discern the powerful muscles hidden beneath her seemingly plump exterior.

The reason no trace of muscle was visible was precisely because her control over her body had reached an extremely high level.

Martial cultivators and body cultivators were often confused.

But in reality, body cultivation was a more detailed and specialized branch under martial cultivation.

Martial cultivation generally referred to cultivators who used limbs and armor for close combat, while body cultivation was more extreme, even abandoning weapons and focusing solely on honing the flesh, refining every part of the body to perfection.

Such powerful body cultivators, once engaged in close combat, could possibly strangle their opponents with their powerful muscles, like a giant python coiling around its prey.

"Looks like I was wrong. At least this one doesn't need to hide poison. As long as her muscles start to exert force, any man entangled with her will likely end up like sugarcane in a juicer, nothing but渣 when they come out," Ye Chuxiao mused, observing the woman in the Sea God Temple.

The woman was also observing Ye Chuxiao.

Ye Chuxiao knew that the thirteen golden hairpins of Hongxiu Tower were divided into those who used seduction and those who didn't, but he was clearly overconfident.

Even when the golden hairpin assassins of Hongxiu Tower struck, not everyone became their willing victim, a romantic ghost beneath their skirts.

More often, they still used conventional methods of encirclement and ambush.

The so-called 'offering oneself on a pillow' was just a last resort, not a regular move from the start. Otherwise, Hongxiu Tower wouldn't be an assassin organization; they'd probably earn more opening a brothel.

In the small Sea God Temple, the increasingly rich 'fleshy scent' constantly teased and stimulated Ye Chuxiao's instincts.

"The mountain wind is fierce, and the mist is heavy. If the young master doesn't mind, why not come closer and keep warm together?" The woman looked at Ye Chuxiao with a charming gaze. Pine wood crackled in the bonfire, casting ghostly shadows on the walls. The sound of distant waves violently crashing against the rocks added a touch of eeriness to the scene.

"Going straight for it! No foreplay?" Ye Chuxiao asked in surprise.

"Are assassins these days so unprofessional? You should at least create a bit of coincidence, and then show off your advantages a little more, to make me completely lust-blind." Ye Chuxiao continued to tease.

The woman smiled charmingly: "Oh? Is that so? Well said, but I thought it unnecessary."

"At this close range, you can't escape."

As soon as she finished speaking, the woman lifted her long skirt, revealing her two shapely and muscular long legs in the flickering firelight. Then, she strode forward and punched straight towards Ye Chuxiao's heart.

"No way! Beauty! Are you serious? What about the coyness?" Ye Chuxiao shifted to the side, but before he could completely dodge the punch's follow-up move, her slender and muscular long leg swept over like a steel whip from his left.

From a visual perspective, the woman's figure was in an unnatural twisting state, but her body had long been trained to the 'Ruyi' (as you wish) realm, allowing her to move freely.

Ye Chuxiao raised the Yuanyang (Primordial Yang) Saber, the blade facing the direction of the woman's kick.

But she didn't avoid it, and her snow-white skin made intimate contact with the sharp blade.

Instantly, the blade swept across her skin, but the sound it made was like chopping at hundred-refined steel.

The Yuanyang Saber was no ordinary weapon. It was already an extremely powerful spiritual treasure, and if it was nurtured and maintained for a long time, there was a chance it could be promoted to a divine artifact.

Ordinary weapons would shatter into渣 upon colliding with it.

But the woman's leg was still unharmed, even glowing white in the firelight.

"So tough?"

Ye Chuxiao was slightly surprised.

"That's not right! I almost got tricked!"

"She's using a special body technique, layering a compacted energy armor on her skin." Realizing this, Ye Chuxiao quickly vibrated the blade in his hand, the sharp blade芒 penetrating and chiseling inward in a way that would cause internal injury.

The woman flipped backwards, first disengaging from Ye Chuxiao.

"Young master, what a cruel heart!" The woman said softly to Ye Chuxiao, like a little woman who had been abandoned, accusing the man of being fickle and unfaithful.

"Armor-breaking and vibration, even gods can't withstand it, girl... this刀 of mine is too粗鲁 for you to handle." Ye Chuxiao said, waving the Yuanyang Saber in his hand.

The woman smiled sweetly: "If hard doesn't work, then we'll go soft!"

As soon as she finished speaking, melodious zither music came from outside the Sea God Temple, quickly echoing within.

The zither music was lingering and affectionate, clearly靡靡之音 (decadent music).

In Ye Chuxiao's ears, it was like a gentle murmur, the娇嗔 (soft complaint) of pain.

The woman, who had been attacking forcefully, began to twist her slender waist and dance a graceful dance.

Twisting her waist, raising her legs, and swaying her hips, although she didn't show anything explicitly, it was enough to make people's mouths dry.

"There's even background music?" Ye Chuxiao licked his lips, directly vibrating the energy of heaven and earth, using it to condense a xiao (a vertical bamboo flute). Without needing to blow it himself, he used the wind to inject frequency into the xiao, creating music spontaneously.

"A song 'Sakura is Hot,' for you. My music and your dance are a perfect match!" Ye Chuxiao said.

It had to be said that, setting aside any preconceived notions, Ye Chuxiao's song was passionate and swift, directly dissipating the靡靡之音.

Just as Ye Chuxiao was feeling pleased with himself, a figure jumped out of the firelight and struck a palm directly towards Ye Chuxiao's heart.

This palm seemed ordinary at first, but the single point of邪异 (evil) crimson in the palm's center was particularly dazzling.

As it was about to land on Ye Chuxiao, he smelled a strong, hot, and腥 (fishy) toxic odor.

The palm's wind and toxins contained at least a dozen different potent poisons, ultimately complementing the woman's alluring methods.

Beauty, dance, background music, and even mood-enhancing drugs – even if the time, place, and atmosphere weren't right, these conditions were enough to make even the most steadfast伟男子 (great man) surrender.

Ye Chuxiao felt some of his previously sealed acupoints showing signs of agitation. His Qi and blood surged, and he almost couldn't control himself.

His whole body shook, Yuanyang (Primordial Yang) Armor protected his body, and he retreated with a flash, first avoiding the sneak attack palm.

Then, he flicked his sleeves, and two flying swords shot out from his sleeves, directly towards the attacker.

"Yuanyang (Primordial Yang) Armor, Yuanyang (Primordial Yang) Saber, and Yuanyang (Primordial Yang) Flying Swords?"

"This is a good ding炉 (cauldron), leave him to me!" The woman revealed a猎 (hunting) heart.

She began to dance even harder.

The standard of her hard work was that she abandoned some of her restraints.

There were faint edges, but not in blocks, just the more defined lines of the shoulder, neck, and abdominal muscles, which were even more eye-catching as they were displayed with the dance in the interplay of light and shadow.

At the same time, the surrounding light was also distorted.

In Ye Chuxiao's eyes, the woman's figure and appearance were constantly leaning towards the type he liked.

This was completely the magical version of lighting, skin smoothing, and beauty enhancement.

Ye Chuxiao's steps faltered slightly for a moment, but fortunately, the flying swords were effective and blocked the attacker who jumped out of the firelight.

Death Qi condensed, gathering into a刀.

Yin and Yang are 分晓 (distinguished)!

Ye Chuxiao slashed at the attacker with a刀.

As the刀 came out, the firelight shattered, and the Sea God Temple was split in two from top to bottom.

The attacker responsible for the 'poison' and mood enhancement shattered into fire渣, and was the first to exit.

Ye Chuxiao didn't have time to be pleased with his one-刀 kill.

Because another宝剑 (sword) with a chilling air pierced towards his back.

Assassins are not knights, not some noble profession. They are a group of people who sell their conscience and humanity for wealth, so romantic lone assassins are not non-existent, but absolutely rare. Most organized assassins appear in fixed groups.

Even if the "荤派" (sexually seductive faction) among the thirteen golden hairpins used their 'trump card,' they would definitely not clear the scene. There were often at least two or more companions watching in the dark, waiting for the perfect opportunity to help finish the job.

Ye Chuxiao killed the poisonous palm cultivator who jumped out of the flames with one刀, but was caught off guard by another cultivator using a short剑 (sword), who stabbed directly at his back要穴 (vital point).

But when the other party realized that Ye Chuxiao's Yuanyang (Primordial Yang) Armor had amazing defensive power, they changed their approach.

Instead, they condensed剑 Qi into a cold针 (needle) and stabbed straight at Ye Chuxiao's tail vertebra.

If this stab hit, there would be no other problems, but the精元 (essence)关隘 (key pass) that Ye Chuxiao had locked would be forcibly blasted open.

At that time, his mindset and attitude towards the woman in the graceful dance would definitely not be the same as it was now.

Ye Chuxiao also knew that he could not be stabbed. At this moment, the zither music suddenly changed its tone.

The original靡靡之音 transformed into a ghostly and entangled melody.

In an instant, Ye Chuxiao lost track of the sneak attacking swordsman, and his perception of the surrounding aura was greatly weakened.

Without time to think, Ye Chuxiao could only turn his body and then forcibly unleash a large amount of energy, performing a wave of energy冲击 (impact).

His lower back was still slightly sore and tight.

The towering剑 (sword) happened to be drawn out fiercely at this time, stirring up a whirlwind.

Whoosh!

The air vibrated!

The originally alluring dance changed even more in Ye Chuxiao's eyes.

Everything became more旖旎 (romantic and beautiful).

The swordsman who had successfully launched the sneak attack, was constantly vomiting blood and retreating. A moment later he disappeared into the mountains, his figure no longer visible.

"I can't let her succeed, otherwise with her body cultivation ability, I will only be drained by her, and I will never be able to compete with her on equal footing." Ye Chuxiao still had some 理智 (reason) remaining at this time, but his instincts were being constantly awakened and driven.

Thinking carefully, what is the body cultivator best at?

Controlling muscles!

When muscles are completely controlled, then the variety of some things is no longer a conventional routine.

Ye Chuxiao reversed the Yuanyang (Primordial Yang) Saber and stabbed it hard into his own abdomen. The pain made Ye Chuxiao清醒 (sober), and at the same time, the boiling blood flowed out, seemingly offsetting part of the disaster of旺盛 (vigorous) 精气 (essence).

"Young master! Why waste it like this?"

"If you do this... Yuan Nu will feel distressed!" The woman waved her hand, and the blood that Ye Chuxiao shed floated towards her.

The blood landed on her 素白 (plain white) fingertips, and then she lightly smeared it on her lips.

In an instant, her charm became even stronger.

Ye Chuxiao clenched his teeth, trying to abandon thoughts that should not be there, and concentrate on fighting.

But the things he had experienced, seen, and even imagined in the past began to徘徊 (linger) around him as if they were real.

The woman's charm skills were fully unleashed, and Ye Chuxiao, who had lost the trick of locking the精元 (essence), found it extremely difficult to resist.

"No way, I'll take a gamble first!"

"If all else fails, I can only cut it off first, and then repair it with the Nine Deaths Demonic Art later." With a thought, Ye Chuxiao began to fully recall Ying Shu's appearance in his mind.

Compared to Ying Shu's natural charm, the charm skills of the female assassin in front of him still focused too much on traces. httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět

When all of Ying Shu's姿势 (postures) occupied all of Ye Chuxiao's thoughts, the influence of the female assassin began to fade.

And Ye Chuxiao, who possessed Ying Shu's 心丹 (heart core), naturally possessed a certain degree of antibody to Ying Shu.

With this, Ye Chuxiao regained 理智 (reason).

Without hesitating any longer, in an instant, the刀勢 (blade momentum) was霸烈 (overbearing),刚猛 (fierce) and无俦 (matchless).

This刀 (blade) went straight for the woman.

This刀 combined the天雷 (heavenly thunder) with the审判 (judgment) of life and death.

The interrogation of reality and the mind instantly enveloped the female assassin's body and mind.

Her妖娆 (charming) movements froze in the process of lifting her leg and bending her waist. After losing her smoothness, this originally charming movement also became strange and abnormal.

Boom!

The天雷 (heavenly thunder) exploded, and the lightning exploded in the split Sea God Temple. The female assassin was covered in arc jumping, and her originally妩媚 (charming) body was constantly trembling in the arc at this time.

The woman, who was scorched black and looked like a charcoal block, no longer had the capital to be魅惑 (charming).

And her mind was still constantly falling in the agonizing审判 (judgment).

The reason why Zong Hou was able to withstand this Questioning Heart Heavenly刀 (blade) was because he had very few things to feel guilty about in his heart.

But this female assassin had done countless things that were guilty of her heart. How could she still struggle out of being shocked by Ye Chuxiao's blade?

Walking to the female assassin, looking at the already charred woman, Ye Chuxiao summoned the ice lotus and sealed her into the ice lotus, which was also a configuration of Dao rhyme and the登楼 (Ascension Tower) secret technique.

A cultivator with such excellent body cultivation skills must be of great benefit to the advancement of the layers of the Ascension Tower secret technique.

Moreover, her body cultivation experience is also worth extracting.

Leaving the Sea God Temple, Ye Chuxiao chased in the direction where the zither music sounded before.

But when he arrived, he found that it was already empty. Obviously, when Ye Chuxiao dealt with the female assassin, the man had seen the situation was not good and escaped quickly.

"Run? Can you escape?" Ye Chuxiao spread out his palm, and the two figures who were fleeing rapidly in his palm were clearly visible.

Don't forget, Ye Chuxiao had already been arranging the formation for a long time in the surrounding mountains.

This is Ye Chuxiao's home field.

If it weren't for the female assassin's methods, coupled with the combination of her group of accomplices, which was too despicable.

Even if the number of invaders was several times higher, Ye Chuxiao could calmly annihilate them.

Shang Ju carried the zither on his back and flew through the mountains. The picture of the thunderous angry blade he sensed at the end, like a heart demon, made him uneasy.

"I shouldn't have come on this trip!" As he thought about it, he suddenly felt that his body was extraordinarily light, and the pictures around him were all upside down.

Then everything was extinguished and dissipated.

The swordsman who used the short sword was also destroyed by Ye Chuxiao, just like this Qin player.

Ye Chuxiao mobilized the power of the formation and strangled them in the ghosts of the mountains.

Having survived a catastrophe, Ye Chuxiao sat cross-legged on a big rock on the coast, sorting out his gains and losses.

"It seems that I've been a little飘 (cocky) recently, so I need to be more慎重 (careful) in the future." Touching his lower back, Ye Chuxiao shook the position of his pants legs, and then thought to himself.
