Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price-Chapter 239 - 44: On How to Nurture One’s Husband

Yun Li stood tall and graceful, holding a long spear suspended in mid-air, like a Female War Goddess. She might not have the gentle beauty of the Eastern Cultivator women, but she possessed a unique kind of athletic valor.

However, her earth-shattering spear thrust was suddenly blocked by an Array that appeared, and the brilliant spear light couldn’t advance an inch.

The thunderous cheers stopped abruptly, and the people of Cloud Pattern Mountain stared blankly at the scene.

A petite, cool woman raised her delicate hand, and an Array appeared. The light of this Array was dim and unremarkable.

It couldn’t compare at all with the heroic posture of the Female War Goddess and the splendid light of the spear.

Yet, it easily blocked the strike.

Moreover, Qiu Zhihe even had the leisure to explain to Qin Gengyun:

"Although Cloud Pattern Mountain’s spear technique is powerful, it overly emphasizes momentum, causing its strength to disperse. If you want to integrate it into the Heaven-Reaching Staff Technique, you should absorb its essence and discard its flaws."

"This....."

Si Minglan suddenly felt a sense of déjà vu and then remembered that at the Chang Family, Qin Gengyun was fighting against Chang Shengzi, who had transformed into an Earth Mole, while Qiu Zhihe was advising on the side.

The scene was very similar to now; only now, Qiu Zhihe was advising Qin Gengyun while engaging in Magical Combat.

Always replenishing Qin Gengyun with nourishment at any time and place.

Indeed, when it comes to nourishing her husband, it’s Qiu Zhihe who knows best.

"Arrogant!"

Yun Li’s expression turned cold. How could she tolerate someone belittling Cloud Pattern Mountain’s techniques so?

She held the spear with both hands, and the spear tip shone brightly, manifesting a giant spear light as thick as a towering tree, with the vague head of a fierce tiger.

The spear-formed tiger roared toward the sky, pouncing on Qiu Zhihe like a small mountain!

"You say my strength is dispersed? How about this strike?"

The tiger pounced, breaking the Protective Array into pieces, and the people of Cloud Pattern Mountain cheered again.

But as soon as they started cheering, they fell silent once more.

The Array shattered, and the tiger pounced into empty space; Qiu Zhihe’s figure appeared behind Yun Li in mid-air!

"So fast? Aren’t you an Array Master?"

Yun Li was a bit bewildered; the Array Qiu Zhihe used to block her first strike was at least Third Grade, signifying she was at least a Third Tier Array Master.

Having mastered the path of Arrays to such a Realm, naturally, she should be weaker in other areas.

But unexpectedly, her Body Technique was equally swift, rivaling that of a Body Cultivator!

Could she be a rare combination of Body Cultivator and Array Master?!

Yun Li’s mind was racing, but her hands were not slow either; she swept the spear backward while the tiger flexibly swung its tail fiercely towards Qiu Zhihe!

However, Yun Li suddenly felt her arms become slightly stiff, her movements slower than usual, and when she swept the spear, Qiu Zhihe had already disappeared.

Then, she felt her entire body begin to stiffen. Looking down, she saw a thin layer of ice forming on her spear and body!

An Array Master, Body Cultivator, and also skilled in the rare Ice Series Technique?

What kind of monster is this?

For someone like me at the Third-Layer of Foundation Establishment, even if my senior sister at the Fourth-Layer were alive, she might not be able to defeat her!

Such a thought is...just marvelous!

Various thoughts flashed through Yun Li’s mind, and an Imprisonment Array appeared above her head, trapping her within, then hurling her ice-bound body fiercely to the ground.

Boom!

The ground was struck, leaving a big pit, and then the Array lifted Yun Li into the air, slamming her down again!

Boom!

Boom! Boom! Boom!

In the stunned eyes of the crowd, Yun Li, the valiant deputy leader of Cloud Pattern Mountain, akin to a Female War Goddess, was like a puppet, endlessly slamming into the ground, creating one deep pit after another.

Many fierce beasts in the woods were alarmed; they came to investigate but retreated immediately upon seeing Qiu Zhihe, not daring to spare another glance.

"Among the hundred mountains in the Northern Wilderness, Cloud Pattern Mountain’s techniques are the fiercest. The Heaven-Reaching Staff technique follows a similar brutal approach, sharing weaknesses, most vulnerable to being approached from behind or immobilized by an Imprisonment Array or restrictive technique."

"The Beast Trapping Technique of the Southern Demon Celestial Fall Sect, the Immortal Sealing Array from Red Cloud Mountain, the Demon-Binding Rope of the Feiyun Sect, Zhenyang Sect’s Heart-breaking Lotus Array, and..."

Qiu Zhihe glanced at Hammer Girl, intentionally or not, and continued:

"Thunder Sword City’s Celestial Thunder Demon Slaying Technique all share similar characteristics; if you encounter them, you must remember to avoid direct confrontation and use Body Technique to maneuver."

Qiu Zhihe’s voice was cool and melodious, narrating the techniques of the Eastern Cultivators and Southern Demons in a gentle, detailed manner, as if hearing celestial music.

Si Minglan stared blankly at Qiu Zhihe, muttering, "With your talent and insight, why bind yourself to a man?"

Liu Su sighed in relief, thinking the Saintess was at least rational enough not to use Li Fire.

Hammer Girl sneered, "The Celestial Thunder Demon Slaying Technique is so low-level, striking people with it isn’t as effective as my hammer."

The hundreds of Cloud Pattern Mountain people were silent. When Qiu Zhihe stopped, the booming stopped too, and they looked at each other with pale faces.

Yun Li’s third house trembled as he crawled to a massive pit’s edge, asking the Yun Li lying inside:

"Second Leader, are you alright?"

There was no response from the pit, and Yun Li’s second and fourth houses suddenly screamed and ran away.

"Second Leader is dead! Second Leader is dead!"

These two had been flattering and fawning on Yun Li just now, but seeing her defeated, they ran faster than anyone.

With them leading, the "wives and concubines" of the female leaders also screamed and fled in panic.

The remaining women of Cloud Pattern Mountain raised spears, surrounding Qiu Zhihe, Qin Gengyun, and others, while the third house cried out in rage, rushing at Qiu Zhihe:

"You killed my lady, I will avenge her!"

Bang!

A lithe figure jumped out of the pit, slapping him to the ground.

"Who’s your lady?! I’m your leader!"

The second house lay on the ground, but his face was filled with joy:

"Second Leader, you’re not dead?"

The surrounding women of Cloud Pattern Mountain shouted joyfully, "Second Leader is fine, Second Leader is valiant! Kill them!"

Even though they were shouting "Second Leader is valiant," these people were already prepared to attack.

After all, as long as one’s eyes weren’t blind, it was clear that the Second Leader had been defeated in an over-level challenge and lost quite badly.

"Wait!"

Yun Li raised her hand, and the clamor from the people of Cloud Pattern Mountain ceased as they looked at her.

Yun Li appeared with disheveled hair, covered in dirt, her tiger-skin skirt full of holes, looking quite embarrassed. She spat out blood and two broken teeth, glaring at Qiu Zhihe fiercely.

In the tense atmosphere, Yun Li walked step by step to stand in front of Qiu Zhihe, suddenly lowering her spear:

"I lost."

"Second Leader?" The people of Cloud Pattern Mountain were stunned, yet Yun Li made an even more shocking move.

She knelt on one knee, bowing her head to Qiu Zhihe, earnestly saying:

"Esteemed friend, we at Cloud Pattern Mountain respect the strong. You’ve defeated me, I’m willing to teach our techniques to your husband! If you don’t despise me, I’m also willing to be your servant, at your command."

"Second Leader? What are you saying!"

The surroundings erupted in uproar, while Qiu Zhihe calmly said, "I don’t want you, I only want Cloud Pattern Mountain’s techniques."

"Agreed!" Yun Li wasn’t embarrassed by the rejection. Her kneeling posture made her muscular lines more prominent, but her strong, handsome face revealed a trace of cunning:

"However, there is one condition."

"Speak."

Yun Li raised her head, with a flash of coldness in her eyes: "I just need you all to come to Cloud Pattern Mountain for a talk."
