This setting is a bit extravagant...

Gao Xuan had stayed at Bright Moon Manor for quite a while, and he knew the Iron Armor Team. However, these details had long been buried in his memory. It was only upon seeing them that he recalled.

Across two teams of people, Gao Xuan saw Han Yumei standing in the back corridor watching the fight.

This woman was middle-aged yet maintained well, retaining some charm. In reality, she was already over fifty.

She was wearing Golden Silk Armor on her upper body and held a sword in her hand, exuding a fierce demeanor.

Gao Xuan smiled at Han Yumei, "Old Han, we meet again."

Han Yumei slightly frowned. The face and voice were familiar, but this extraordinary and unparalleled aura was nothing like Gao Xuan.

She asked in confusion, "Are you really Gao Xuan?"

"That's right."

Gao Xuan leisurely said, "You are older now, but your eyesight is still just fine."

Han Yumei erupted in anger, "I raised you, taught you to read and to practice martial arts, and this is how you repay me?"

"How else do you want to be repaid? Flay your skin and light a sky lantern? That's too inhumane; it's not my style."

Gao Xuan said calmly, "No matter how many bad things you do, as long as you pay with your life, it will be enough."

"Kill him."

Han Yumei wasn't interested in talking to Gao Xuan; she waved her hand and gave the order to attack.

The Iron Armor Team didn't move; the Crossbow Team drew their bows and arrows. The bows were strong bows, and the crossbows were hard crossbows.

With dozens of people drawing their bows and shooting arrows simultaneously, the formation looked quite imposing. At this distance, even if wearing heavy armor, one could be pierced through.

To everyone's surprise, Gao Xuan neither dodged nor waved his weapon to block. He just stood there quietly, motionless.

The dozens of long arrows, piercing with sharp whistles, broke and shattered three feet in front of Gao Xuan. It was as if there was an invisible iron wall in front of Gao Xuan.

This scene was extremely shocking, and those present were stunned.

Many had heard of Innate Gang Qi but had never seen it. At that moment, they could not think of Innate Gang Qi.

In their eyes, Gao Xuan seemed like a god.

The Iron Armor Team and Crossbow Team members were all petrified. Han Yumei, however, was not; she recognized that it was Innate Gang Qi, and without hesitation, turned around to leave.

To make the Feihua Sect grow larger, Han Yumei's vision and decisiveness were top-notch.

Gao Xuan didn't rush to chase Han Yumei; the Iron Armor Team and Crossbow Team were Han Yumei's trusted aides, having been long under her special medication, and only obeying her commands, nearly devoid of humanity.

These people could not be left behind.

With one step, Gao Xuan was in front of the Iron Armor Team. Many Iron Armor Team samurais reacted and instinctively raised their spears to stab.

Gao Xuan didn't dodge at all, allowing the long spears to strike the Protective Gang Qi. The spears were directly shattered and flew away by the Protective Gang Qi.

From the long sleeves, his hands continuously flicked poison needles, each accurately penetrating through the face armor gaps and piercing through the enemies' eyes and skulls.

With the hissing of poison needles, the Iron Armor Team members fell down in droves.

Seeing the bad situation, the rear Crossbow Team fled in all directions. Gao Xuan didn't pursue, as the steel needles, driven by his Finger Force, were more powerful than strong crossbows. Within a hundred steps, they could even pierce the Iron Armor.

At this stage, his Inner Strength has become extraordinary and sacred, nothing could stop it.

When Gao Xuan arrived at the veranda entrance, the ground was already covered with corpses. The entire Iron Armor Team and Crossbow Team were wiped out.

Han Yumei had already run out of sight, but it didn't matter. Gao Xuan could hear Han Yumei's slightly hurried breathing and the faint sound of her clothes tearing through the air. In the enclosed tunnel, these sounds were extremely faint.

But Gao Xuan could hear them and locate Han Yumei through a fine mental lock. The woman had entered the escape tunnel.

Gao Xuan didn't rush to chase Han Yumei; he wandered around the manor. Upon seeing a master, he would kill them with a single needle.

Once he cleaned up the manor, he gracefully exited Bright Moon Manor and went straight to the riverbank.

Han Yumei stood on a small boat and saw a figure in a green robe flying toward her, high and fast like a bird.

She shouted to her subordinates, "He's coming after us, row the boat quickly..."

The two subordinates, both deeply cultivated in Inner Strength, rowed the boat like an arrow skimming forward across the water.

By the time Gao Xuan reached the riverbank, the small boat was already hundreds of feet away. The river was vast, and there were no other vessels around. Despite his unparalleled martial arts skills, he couldn't catch up. Han Yumei finally breathed a sigh of relief.

At this time, Tao Zhengren and Pei Tianyuan led a group of masters coming from the riverbank. They also saw Gao Xuan, seeing the small boat sailing in the middle of the river.

Even though this group didn't recognize Han Yumei, seeing Gao Xuan's posture, they knew the person he was chasing was on that boat.

Everyone sighed at the distant boat. It was too far; even strong bows and crossbows shot at that distance would pose no threat.

Time was short, and there wasn't enough time to mobilize other boats. The Yangtze River was dense with waterways and complicated. Once a small boat turned into some waterway halfway, it would be difficult to find again.

Just as everyone lamented, they suddenly saw Gao Xuan let out a low whistle. He flew into the sky like a long rainbow, soaring across dozens of feet, reaching above the small boat in the blink of an eye.

Such a Lightweight Skill, akin to an Immortal's Wind-controlling Flight, was simply an extraordinary Divine Technique, beyond human capabilities. Numerous masters were left speechless, unable to fathom.

On the small boat, Han Yumei and the others were extremely terrified. She reacted quickly, kneeling at the bow of the boat, trying to plead for mercy.

Gao Xuan didn't bother speaking, with a wave of his long sleeve, he unleashed Innate Gang Qi.

Han Yumei and the other two experts, along with the entire small boat, all exploded under the relentless Innate Gang Qi.

Blood and countless shards of wood flew scattering, and the river surface was blasted into a massive crater.

The pressured water surface surged up with waves more than ten feet high, a mighty spectacle.

Amidst the rolling waves, Gao Xuan appeared in front of Tao Zhengren and the others. He smiled at Tao Zhengren, "I must trouble Hero Tao to properly handle the aftermath."

Tao Zhengren and Pei Tianyuan hastily cupped their hands, "We will do our utmost, not failing your trust."

Gao Xuan cupped his hands, "Thank you all for your hard work."

Everyone quickly returned the gesture, all bowing with humble postures. In front of a Martial Arts Grandmaster of such divine might, they couldn't help but be respectful.

Gao Xuan laughed heartily, "Now that this matter is settled, I'll be on my way. Everyone, see you in Jianghu..."

Without waiting for anyone to respond, Gao Xuan waved his sleeve and leisurely walked on the water, reciting loudly, "Green robe, sword in hand travels, young age not knowing worry. Singing high, saying farewell, Jianghu shares this autumn..."

The group of heroes watched the green figure tread the waves and disappear into the distance, all with complex expressions.

Someone lamented, "After the matter is settled, he wipes his sleeves and leaves, hiding deeply his name and identity. Truly an Immortal among men!"

Everyone nodded in agreement, Gao Xuan's presence as such an unparalleled expert truly won their admiration and respect.

From then on, Tao Zhengren and others never saw Gao Xuan again. Yet they continued to hear various tales of the Qingyi Martial Saint in Jianghu...
