Chapter 623 Come and Get Beaten Up
Shen Ciyuan silently took out an old cat-shaped money pouch with several patches sewn on from his bosom. He picked through it and took out a silver soul coin. He sincerely said to Shen Wen, "Brother, I've always lived a life of hardship and haven't earned much money, but I do have a little bit. Take this first, find a place to buy a toothbrush to clean your mouth, and later I'll find you a teacher to teach you how to be a decent person."
"People need to eat properly; they can't always be in the outhouse and smell like rubbish!"
"puff!"
The Luo family members couldn't help but chuckle in hushed tones.
The servants of the Shen family were flushed and their shoulders were trembling slightly. They wanted to laugh, but they couldn't.
Shen Wen looked at Shen Ciyuan's sincere face, his face turning red with anger. A flash of light appeared in his hand, and six spirit rings appeared behind him, along with a pair of curved blades in his hand.
"Since you're such a piece of trash and you want to die, I'll grant your wish!" Shen Wen roared, his twin swords tinged with an eerie dark green, and he flashed towards Shen Ciyuan.
Shen Ciyuan regretfully put the silver soul coins back into his pocket, but calmly took out a soul guide longsword from his storage ring.
"Come here and get a beating."
Shen Kang watched Shen Ciyuan's actions quietly, his eyes filled with intense curiosity.
He guessed that Shen Ciyuan dared to step into Tiandou City, which meant he was absolutely confident, perhaps because of his strength, or perhaps because the Luo family was backing him up.
Before figuring out the situation, he wouldn't embarrass himself like Shenhe.
This would be detrimental to his reputation in Tiandou City and would also affect his image in his father's eyes.
Shenhe snorted coldly, clapped his hands, and a servant not far away immediately ran over, knelt on the ground, and propped himself up to form a chair for Shenhe to sit on.
The other two remained silent throughout, watching quietly.
Shen Wen's twin swords stirred up gusts of wind, and a strange fragrance spread through them.
Shen Ciyuan held his breath, his long sword moving with lightning speed, constantly striking Shen Wen's weak points.
"This young man from the Shen family knows swordsmanship?" A hint of admiration flashed in the old woman's eyes. It was extremely rare for someone's swordsmanship to be on par with Shen Wen's, after all, Shen Ciyuan's martial soul was a mirror.
"He knows a lot more. After wandering around for so many years, he can't just have a bigger appetite." Luo Xinyao laughed, but secretly she was holding two flying bullets in her left hand, her mind highly focused on Shen Ciyuan.
As Shen Wen's fourth soul ring lit up, he roared and unleashed a series of blades with his twin swords, attempting to force Shen Ciyuan back.
The opponent's swordsmanship possessed a soft, yielding strength, preventing his mad blade from unleashing its full power, like punching cotton.
Shen Ciyuan calmly took a small step back and then threw out a palm-sized, three-finger-wide piece of iron.
The iron block instantly emitted streaks of blue light and rapidly deformed and expanded.
A soul-guided shield stood upright on the ground, blocking the blade that Shen Wen unleashed.
"What the hell?" Shen Wen asked in surprise. The soul-guided shield that was the same height as him had been pulled out of Shen Ciyuan's pocket, and his proud blade had actually been blocked.
A look of surprise flashed in Shen Kang's eyes, and he couldn't help but stop fanning himself.
"Interesting, it's getting more and more interesting. How much more fun can you bring me, my dear brother?"
In the instant Shen Wen was stunned, Shen Ciyuan suddenly exerted force with his steps, instantly rushing in front of Shen Wen, his long sword thrusting upwards.
Shen Wen was startled and quickly leaned back, simultaneously slashing his curved blade in a cross shape towards the center.
Shen Ciyuan's lips curled up slightly, and with a slight flick of his right fingers, the soul-guided longsword in his hand split in two, becoming two single-edged slender swords.
He thrust out his left palm, striking the hilt of another single-edged rapier with a slight tilt.
The single-edged rapier spun under the force, and the hilt struck Shen Wen's left wrist heavily.
"Clang!"
Shen Wen's left-hand sword fell off, and Shen Ciyuan caught the single-edged slender sword that bounced back, forcefully stabbing it in front of Shen Wen, with the back of the sword only a finger's width away from his genitals.
Shen Ciyuan exhaled forcefully, blowing away the poison spreading on Shen Wen's twin blades.
"Your hands are weak, your knife is powerless, and you're only thinking about unorthodox methods, focusing on poison. Are you still a reckless fool?" Shen Ciyuan took out the silver soul coin again and flicked it into Shen Wenyi's pocket.
"You!" Shen Wen swung his last remaining scimitar, but was struck on the right wrist by a flying folding fan.
"If you've lost, then hurry up and fall down." Shen Kang said with a fake smile, his eyes gleaming with coldness as he stared at Shen Wen.
Shen Wen suddenly shivered, withdrew his martial spirit, and silently retreated into the crowd, his eyes filled with intense resentment.
"Shen Yan, Shen Liao, you two go up," Shen Kang said in a commanding tone.
Shen Yan and Shen Liao, who had been silently watching all this, exchanged a glance and stepped forward to summon their martial spirits: a pair of twin crescent blades and a pair of short curved swords.
"The Twin Moon Blades, truly beautiful yet dangerous blades," Shen Ciyuan murmured, looking at the twin blades in Shen Yan's hands.
It was these beautiful blades that caused him to drift alone for many years, living in self-blame and fear.
Shen Ciyuan quickly noticed something was wrong. The Twin Moon Blade in Shen Yan's hand seemed a bit small, with the blade being one-fifth shorter.
"No wonder Shen Kang was able to order you around. Your Twin Moon Slash Blade's martial spirit quality is below his." Shen Ciyuan sighed softly. The Shen family's system is a shackle.
Shen Yan got into position. He didn't actually have much of an opinion about Shen Ciyuan, because he only knew about Shen Ciyuan from rumors. "Be careful."
"When facing two people, don't you need to use your mirror? Shen Ciyuan?" Shen Kang was like a smiling tiger, and a fan appeared in his hand at some point.
He wanted to know what kind of spirit ring Shen Ciyuan's mirror had obtained, that made Shen Ciyuan so arrogant that he didn't even bother to summon his martial spirit when dealing with Shen Wen.
"Hmph, he's just showing off with his soul tool. What use is that broken mirror?" Shenhe said sarcastically.
Faced with the encirclement from two directions by Shen Yan and Shen Liao, Shen Ciyuan sheathed his soul-guided longsword. He had only practiced his swordsmanship for a dozen or twenty days, and it was only good for showing off. It was not very useful when facing multiple enemies.
With a thought, the Cold Moon Mirror appeared behind Shen Ciyuan's head.
The Cold Moon Mirror, refracting a cold light, slowly rotated, and the surrounding temperature dropped a few degrees.
Upon seeing Shen Ciyuan summon the Cold Moon Mirror, Shen Kang became excited.
"Finally! Let me see just how much you've improved over the years!"
Shen Kang's purpose was to have Shen Ciyuan unleash the Cold Moon Mirror, and then have Shen Yan and Shen Liao fight against Shen Ciyuan, so as to understand the soul skills and actual strength of Shen Ciyuan's Cold Moon Mirror.
Shen Kang's hand holding the cover trembled slightly. He glanced at Shen He sitting on the servant's back, a hint of murderous intent flashing in his eyes. He hoped that Shen Ciyuan could become strong, but he didn't want Shen Ciyuan to become too strong.
The latest novel is first published here!
He was a year younger than Shenhe, and in that one year, he was given the title of the second son.
Family titles are usually inherited by the eldest son, including the family business. This made Shen Kang extremely resentful. It's just that he lived for an extra year.
He had already warned Shen Yan and Shen Liao beforehand not to go all out, and that it would be best if they lost to Shen Ciyuan like Shen Wen did, so that Shen Ciyuan would face off against Shen He.
Ideally, the two should fight to the death, and then he can reap the rewards of victory.
Under the cold moonlight, Shen Ciyuan stood with his hands behind his back, making Shen Yan and Shen Liao opposite him somewhat dazed.
It seemed that the light reflected in the cold moon mirror was not ordinary light, but rather a beam of bright moonlight that enveloped Shen Ciyuan.
"Come on, I'm pretty good at one-on-two too." Shen Ciyuan smiled slightly. He had been taught a lesson by the three hooligans when he was in Aodu.
Shen Yan and Shen Liao exchanged a glance, both seeing the surprise in each other's eyes, but they didn't think too much about it. They were just there to make Shen Ciyuan reveal his strength and moves. Whether they won or not didn't matter; they just wanted to avoid getting killed.
Just as the two were about to make their move, Shenhe suddenly stood up.
Unlike Shen Kang, who kept his eyes fixed on Shen Ciyuan, Shen He kept his gaze on Luo Xinyao.
Shenhe was extremely attracted to the other party's family background and personal qualities. In particular, Luo Xinyao was very beautiful. Among the many women he had seduced, Luo Xinyao's cool and aloof charm made Shenhe's heart burn with passion.
Moreover, if he could obtain Luo Xinyao, then half of the Luo family would fall into Shenhe's pocket, and his position would be even more secure.
Delay could lead to complications, so he had to end this farce as soon as possible and go back to ask his father for help. His second brother had also been quite dishonest in recent years.
"You've had your fill of the limelight after all this time." Shenhe clapped his hands, and five figures instantly appeared behind him, each with the cultivation level of a Soul Douluo.
"Take him down and bring him back to the tribe for trial."
"Elder Luo Yi!" Luo Xinyao's pretty face turned icy cold. She never expected Shenhe to be so shameless.
The old woman in the robes flew out and struck the five Soul Douluos with a palm.
The five Soul Douluos were knocked back more than ten steps, their bodies unsteady.
Shen Kang glanced at Shen He with envy. Five Soul Douluos as guards showed how favored Shen He was.
"Hold her back, then capture that bastard." Shenhe said expressionlessly, not taking Luo Yi seriously.
This is Tiandou City, and it's also the territory of the Shen family. The Luo family has a Title Douluo, and so does the Shen family.
Five Soul Douluos rushed out instantly, three of them surrounding and attacking Luo Yi, while the remaining two attacked Shen Ciyuan from the left and right.
At the crucial moment, Shen Ciyuan turned to look in a certain direction and shouted, "Stop eating sunflower seeds! If you don't come soon, your brother will be sleeping in the woodshed tonight!"
As soon as he finished speaking, an ice blade flew through the air and landed five steps in front of Shen Ciyuan.
An intense chill erupted, and the two Soul Douluos had no time to defend themselves. Their bodies were quickly covered in frost, and they fell to the ground with a "bang" sound.
"Good brother, you know me. How could I bear to let you sleep in the woodshed?"
Ye Nanxiao descended from the sky with Long Aotian and Vina, his left hand hidden in his pocket and a handful of melon seeds in his other hand.
"You said the same thing last time, and then you betrayed me!" Shen Ciyuan said angrily.
"In novels, it's a big no-no to use your superior numbers to fight against a smaller force; it'll just give the protagonist free experience points." Ye Nanxiao looked at Shenhe with a standard smile on his face.
