Days of Living with My Sister-in-Law-Chapter 112: Flying Immortals Beyond the Heavens

"Damn, she’s fast!" Chen Xiaobei exclaimed in shock. He hurriedly executed the Seven Star Tian Gang Step, twisting his body to narrowly dodge Murong Xiaoyi’s strike.

Immediately, Chen Xiaobei leaped to a safe distance and frowned. "Murong Xiaoyi, I never expected you to have feelings for Qingcheng. But as a doctor, I feel obligated to inform you that you have a serious psychological illness that needs treatment."

"Shut up!" Murong Xiaoyi snarled, her face twisting with rage. "What if I do love my cousin? It’s not for a scumbag like you to pass judgment. I swear I will kill you. Only then will my cousin return to me. Chen Xiaobei, go to hell!"

With those words, Murong Xiaoyi whipped out a dagger. Holding it in a reverse grip, she slashed at Chen Xiaobei’s throat, her eyes filled with pure hatred.

"You lunatic! You really are sick!" This time, Chen Xiaobei didn’t dare hold back. Going on the offensive, he immediately engaged Murong Xiaoyi in a fierce battle. For a moment, the air filled with a flurry of furious shouts and countless afterimages.

Murong Xiaoyi’s dagger was incredibly fast, with each strike aimed at Chen Xiaobei’s vitals. Plus, with her strength at the Profundity Rank Ninth Grade, she was leagues beyond someone like Liang Zheng, who was only at the Mysterious Rank Fifth Grade. In just thirty seconds, she had struck at Chen Xiaobei over a hundred times, her face showing no signs of fatigue. Instead, her fighting spirit soared, her every move aimed at slaughtering him.

But Chen Xiaobei had the Nine Heavens Demon-Vanquishing Technique and the Seven Star Tian Gang Step on his side. Although the fight was strenuous, he managed to deftly parry her every move, preventing her from gaining any real advantage.

However, as the fight dragged on, a grim expression settled on Chen Xiaobei’s face. His main problem was his lack of any proper martial techniques; he was just relying on brute strength to hold on.

In contrast, watching Murong Xiaoyi fight with a dagger was like watching a fairy dance. Each of her moves was vicious and deadly, yet possessed a strange, deadly grace. It was clearly a Martial Technique that combined both offense and defense. In this respect, Chen Xiaobei was far inferior.

Damn it! Why didn’t that woman Xi Yao teach me any Martial Techniques? Chen Xiaobei cursed inwardly. After all, the Nine Heavens Demon-Vanquishing Technique is supposed to be the most powerful cultivation technique in the Three Realms. It makes no sense for it not to have any associated martial techniques!

The more he thought about it, the more Chen Xiaobei suspected that Xi Yao was playing mind games with him. If it weren’t for the boost from the Seven Star Tian Gang Step, he probably would have already been slaughtered by this madwoman.

Just then, Murong Xiaoyi executed a feint. The instant Chen Xiaobei dodged, she shot her leg out and kicked him squarely in the stomach.

"Fuck!" Chen Xiaobei cried out in pain as his body was sent flying more than ten meters. He felt as if his stomach was about to explode and barely suppressed the urge to vomit. But that was the extent of it; he hadn’t suffered any serious internal damage.

Murong Xiaoyi frowned. "I didn’t think a scumbag like you could take such a beating. It’s a shame you’re only at the Mysterious Grade Eighth Rank and have no decent martial techniques! I have a feeling I can kill you in ten more exchanges at most."

"When that happens, I’ll take my cousin and we’ll run far away, to a place where no one can ever find us." Gazing at the full moon, Murong Xiaoyi’s eyes filled with longing for that future.

"You’re insane," Chen Xiaobei said coldly as he got back to his feet. "But unfortunately for you, I won’t let you take Qingcheng. Because she doesn’t like you at all. It’s nothing but unrequited love!"

"This is all your fault!" Murong Xiaoyi shrieked. "Before you showed up, my cousin would never have been this cold to me, even if she didn’t accept my feelings! This is all because of you! I’m going to kill you, kill you!"

"AAAAHHH!" Screaming, Murong Xiaoyi leaped into the air and aimed another kick at Chen Xiaobei.

Frowning, Chen Xiaobei reached out and grabbed her ankle, then forcefully swung her backward. But Murong Xiaoyi’s body was incredibly nimble. She planted one hand on the ground, completely neutralizing the force. Then, reversing her grip on the dagger, she made an unexpected thrust toward Chen Xiaobei’s butt.

"Shit!" Startled, Chen Xiaobei scrambled forward, narrowly avoiding the deadly strike. Unfortunately, his pants were completely slashed open, his rear almost entirely exposed.

Murong Xiaoyi didn’t look much better. She was covered in dust, her hair disheveled, looking like a complete lunatic.

"You... you’re forcing me... to use my ultimate move!" Murong Xiaoyi gasped, slowly climbing to her feet with bloodshot eyes.

An ultimate move? Chen Xiaobei’s heart sank. I’m already weaker than her, and dealing with her is troublesome enough. But now she has an ultimate move too? If she uses it, won’t I be finished?

Suddenly—

"Flying Immortals Beyond the Heavens!" Murong Xiaoyi roared, launching herself into a massive backflip and landing gracefully on the branch of a nearby maple tree. Then, with a powerful push, she leaped down, stabbing her dagger toward Chen Xiaobei.

Is that it? It sounds grand, but isn’t it just a stab from above? Chen Xiaobei was taken aback.

But then, he realized something was terribly wrong. Murong Xiaoyi’s body suddenly became ethereal, like a reflection in rippling water. Her stunning figure split into two, then into four, each image attacking Chen Xiaobei from a different angle in mid-air.

"Damn it, what’s going on?" This bizarre spectacle completely unnerved Chen Xiaobei. He instinctively threw a punch at the Murong Xiaoyi directly in front of him, but his fist passed right through, hitting nothing but a shimmering ripple.

Crap! They’re afterimages! His mind reeled. It was too late to react to the other figures. He felt a searing pain as her dagger sliced a bloody gash across his left shoulder.

"Shit, that hurts!" Clutching his wound, Chen Xiaobei grimaced in pain.

Meanwhile, Murong Xiaoyi had landed some distance away. Upon closer inspection, her beautiful face was visibly pale. Clearly, her Flying Immortals Beyond the Heavens technique had consumed a great deal of her True Qi. Yet, her eyes showed no sign of fatigue. Instead, they gleamed with a feverish excitement.

"Chen Xiaobei, you really are formidable. To think that at the Mysterious Grade Eighth Rank, you only received a minor injury from my Flying Immortals Beyond the Heavens. Unfortunately for you, there won’t be a second chance! This time, I will kill you for sure! Let’s see you handle my ultimate Flying Immortals Beyond the Heavens!"

With that, Murong Xiaoyi leaped back onto the maple tree and lunged down at Chen Xiaobei once more. The next second, her exquisite body divided from one into two, two into four, and four into eight, completely surrounding him. At the same time, the fierce winds they generated kicked up clouds of dust from the ground.

It’s over... I’m a dead man! Chen Xiaobei’s heart filled with utter despair.
