The Indomitable Master of Elixirs

Panda Novel

This was Lei Xu’s true intent!

He wanted to let Ji Fengyan know that without his permission, even if it was declared that Ji Fengyan was the City Lord, she was only a powerless figurehead.

Looking at the family heads standing behind Lei Xu and those miners who only followed his orders, Ji Fengyan smiled even more coldly.

Linghe and the rest were already raging madly. In Ji City, regardless of whether Ji Fengyan was the City Lord, no one would listen to her.

Linghe finally understood why Ji Fengyan had never been in a hurry to claim her City Lord identity. In fact, she had already understood quite early that even if it was announced, she would only be a joke with a title but no power.

Ji City was totally in Lei Xu’s control.

“Miss, we can do it ourselves!” Linghe rolled up his sleeves in fury, and ordered the other guards to take action to open up the cave.

All the guards rubbed their palms together and were ready to do it themselves.

But Lei Xu said arrogantly, “I am really curious, are you guys intending to use your hands, or those weapons intended to kill enemies to dig up those huge rocks?” As he said, Lei Xu’s eyes landed on the sword in Linghe’s hands.

“It’s such a pity. This sword that had been used to exterminate so many enemies in the past had ended up as a tool for digging up dirt in the end. Really… such a pity…” Lei Xu’s mocking tone could not be even more obvious.

“You!” Linghe held the sword and took a step forward. The family heads who had followed Lei Xu immediately made their guards protect Lei Xu.

“You’re just a lowly guard, yet you wish to even touch Master Lei?”

“So this is the little City Lord’s guard? He really does not know his place…”

The voices of accusations and blame, as though they were nails, completely stopped Linghe from continuing his actions.

“Brother Ling,” Ji Fengyan’s voice suddenly rang.

Linghe turned his head to look at Ji Fengyan.

In that pair of eyes that always seemed to be smiling, he had seen, for the first time, a tinge of coldness.

“Give me your sword,” Ji Fengyan said, but her smile did not reach her eyes.

Linghe was shocked instinctively and hesitantly handed over the sword in his hands to her.

Lei Xu watched as Ji Fengyan held onto that sword and remained unconcerned. He thought that she was unwilling to let Linghe take the blame and intended to do it herself.

But…

After Ji Fengyan received the sword, she did not approach any closer to Lei Xu. Instead, she lightly cut her fingertips using the sharp end of the sword.

Fresh red blood dripped from Ji Fengyan’s fingertips.

A faint blood stench filled the air in the hills. Ji Fengyan lifted her head and looked at Lei Xu. “Master Lei, you have to look closely.”

After she said that, Ji Fengyan tore a piece of cloth from her clothes and her blood-stained fingers wrote a string of strange symbols on the cloth. Under everyone’s confused gaze, Ji Fengyan threw the cloth with blood curse into the air and used the sword in her hand to pierce through the curse!

Clank!

A powerful sound rang and the sword cut through the tally and nailed it on that pile of rocks at the mineral cave entrance.

“You are intending to…” Lei Xu looked at Ji Fengyan without understanding her actions, as he thought this stupid brat had gone crazy.

But before Lei Xu finished his sentence.

Rumble!

A loud explosion was suddenly heard and it was so deafening. The dirt from the ground flew in the air as the entire mountain shook with this explosion.
