<text>The girl began rambling again:</text>

<text>She cleared her throat, looking shyly at the Raksha. She saw the latter staring at her intently, and she suddenly felt tiny sparks of joy inside her. She straightened her back, and her tone became more serious.</text>

<dialog chara="002">
<p>[The Golden Sand Gang was inconsequential, </p>

<text>Sushang felt a bit guilty being so boastful, </text>
<text>but seeing as the Raksha was listening to her carefully with no other comments, the girls mood improved drastically. She believed the golden-haired stranger was an exceptional person to chat with.</text>

<dialog chara="002">[The Edge of Taixuan has five essences: Mantra, Form, Sanction, Ascension, and Eminence. </dialog>

<dialog chara="002">[Not even my master knows how to train the Sanction Essence, but my mom can; she said 【When you heart has connected with the Xuanyuan, the Sanction essence will come as naturally as night to day.】But its just a sword, what kind of thoughts does it even have? </dialog>
<dialog chara="002">Ive talked to it for more than a decade, but its never done a thing, not even a yep. Aye, I really want to get it straight, but I havent been home for a while now…]</dialog>

<dialog chara="002">[I have my ways!]</dialog>
<text>
<p>The girl said with excitement, her eyes shining. [\s]</p>
<p>Although she seemed way too eccentric and all over the place, the Raksha enjoyed listening to her.</p>
</text>
<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" img="素裳-元气-背手-中景"></motion>
<dialog chara="002">
<p>[Ive learnt the ways of the blade for ten years with my master now. </p>
<p>Its kind of embarrassing to say this, but I havent fought any other experts besides my master. </p>
</dialog>
<dialog chara="002">Mom always said that practice is different from real life, but I dont think its as mysterious as she likes to put it.]</dialog>
<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" img="素裳-笑-背手-中景"></motion>
<dialog chara="002">[Dont underestimate me just because Im young, Im actually pretty powerful. Ill tell you this, I defeated four men just now with no blood shed at all. </dialog>
<dialog chara="002">Its not that simple, you have to be really careful with how you control your strength~]</dialog>
<dialog chara="001">[How did you defeat the Golden Menace Gang if you didnt kill anyone?]</dialog>
<text>The Rakshas question seemed to come at just the right moment, even if his Shenzhounese wasnt the most accurate, but Sushang didnt mind.</text>
<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" img="素裳-悲伤目下-背手-中景" duration="1"></motion>
<dialog chara="002">
<p>[Um, well, you do have to kill if you have to. </p>
<p>If you can save 100 by killing one, then thats a good thing… I think.]</p>
</dialog>
<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" img="素裳-悲伤目前-背手-中景"></motion>
<dialog chara="002">[But I havent killed anyone before, so theres always this… Thought in the back of my mind. Thats a whole life! If I could, Id rather not kill anyone…]</dialog>
<dialog chara="002">
<p>[So my hope is to defeat that “Eagle” guy. </p>
<p>With him gone, the gang will be no more. Theres no point in dealing with the rabble.]</p>
</dialog>
<dialog chara="001">[Mhm.]</dialog>
<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" img="素裳-大笑-背手-中景"></motion>
<text>He answered, but Sushang mistook it for his desire for her to continue the conversation, so she became excited.</text>
<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" img="素裳-撒娇哭-背手-中景"></motion>
<dialog chara="002">[Let me tell you — Ow!]</dialog>

<motion chara="002" action="hide" duration="0"></motion>
<text>She forgot that she was still cuffed, so her attempt to separate her arms only hurt her.</text>
<text>The [Ki Suppressant Pill] that the Golden Sand Gang had given her was quite the poison indeed. She could feel the Ki in her lower Dantian Sea, but it refused to flow into her veins. She had all the Ki she needed, but no way to use it.</text>
<text inline="true">— However, the girl had learned the [Edge of Taixuan]. </text>
<text>
<p></p>
<p>Phoenixs martial arts were different from the thousands of others in these lands.</p>
</text>
<text>
<p>Normally, the arts would train the Dantian to store the Qi, </p>
<p>but the [Edge of Taixuan] wasnt so strict about that.</p>
</text>
<text>
<p>The one who had learned the [Blade Mantra] </p>
<p>could see the world as their Dantian Sea and their body as the veins. </p>
<p>The [Ki] that was the origin point of martial arts had no need to be buried within oneself.</p>
</text>
<text>Thats why to Li Sushang, her lower Dantian Sea being blocked was a bit uncomfortable, but it was nothing too serious.</text>

<text>
<p>Sushang felt her limbs lighten as soon as his voice faded. The two pairs of thick steel cuffs had already shattered into pieces on the ground. [\s]</p>
<p>She was not injured in the slightest either.</p>
</text>
<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" duration="2" img="素裳-呆滞刺激-普通-中景"></motion>
<dialog chara="002">[You… You…]</dialog>
<text>Li Sushang couldnt figure out what to say. Shed already seen so many strange things from the moment she laid eyes on this Raksha beauty. </text>
<text>
<p>If he could use his sorcery to disappear the chair and the glass cup, then it would be reasonable that he could shatter those steel cuffs… [\s]</p>
<p>...my ass!!!!</p>
</text>
<text>
<p>She began to reconsider the strange coffin carrying man standing in front of her. [\s]</p>
<p>Was [he] actually a master in disguise? </p>
</text>
<text>She didnt believe it.</text>
<text>
<p>The experts and masters in her eyes were ones like her master, her mother, or herself in the future, </p>
<p>and the Raksha seemed way too far from what she thought of as an expert.</p>
</text>
<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" img="素裳-惊讶2-抱手-中景"></motion>
<text>[em italic]But he can do some pretty unnatural stuff….[/em]</text>
<text>She was lost in her thoughts when the Raksha suddenly spoke:</text>
<motion chara="001" action="img_trans" img="奥托-微笑奸-单空手-中景(棺材)"></motion>
<dialog chara="001">[What is this plan of yours?]</dialog>

<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" img="素裳-悲伤目下-抱手-中景"></motion>
<dialog chara="002">[Oh, I…]</dialog>
<text>For some reason, she had a little less confidence in herself after the Raksha did his thing just now.</text>

<motion chara="001" action="img_trans" img="奥托-微笑自信-标准-中景(棺材)"></motion>
<dialog chara="002">[I… I was going to sneak into the bandits camp and find a chance to challenge “Eagle”.]</dialog>
<dialog chara="002">[But… Sigh, I lied, things werent going so well. I was trying to break out of my cuffs, go find my sword, and then… cross the bridge when I get to it. </dialog>
<dialog chara="002">Theres no elaborate scheme. I just dont want to… I… I cant say.]</dialog>
<text>The girls voice got quieter and quieter.</text>

<dialog chara="001">[Good, lets go.]</dialog>

<motion chara="001" action="img_trans" img="奥托-微笑自信-标准-中景(棺材)"></motion>
<text>She lowered her head and spoke hurriedly and sadly:</text>
<dialog chara="002">[Its midnight right now… What kind of hero challenges someone to a duel in the dark? Thats not righteous at all…]</dialog>
<motion chara="001" action="img_trans" img="奥托-思索-中景(棺材)"></motion>
<dialog chara="001">[Righteous…]</dialog>
<text>The Raksha considered that term.</text>
<dialog chara="001">[Are you talking about the day? You want to challenge that eagle when everyones present?]</dialog>
<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" img="素裳-元气-普通-中景"></motion>
<dialog chara="002">[Yes!]</dialog>
<text>She answered with gusto.</text>
<dialog chara="001">[Theres one thing though.]</dialog>
<dialog chara="002">[Please.]</dialog>
<dialog chara="001">[During the day, that Eagle is going to have hundreds of his minions protecting him, will he actually accept your challenge?]</dialog>

<dialog chara="002">[Of course he will! Thats the laws of the land! He…]</dialog>
<motion chara="002" action="img_trans" img="素裳-悲伤目下-抱手-中景"></motion>
<text>Li Sushang thought about it and sighed.</text>
<dialog chara="002">[You have a point.]</dialog>
<motion chara="001" action="img_trans" img="奥托-微笑奸-摊手-中景(棺材)"></motion>
<dialog chara="001">

<dialog chara="001">
<p>[I heard that Shenzhou has an ancient proverb:</p>

<p></p>
<p>Earlier, there were two guards outside of the cell.</p>
</mono>
<mono pageend="true">
<p></p>
<p>One of them escorted the Raksha in the dungeon respectfully, then immediately called in sick; the other was delivering a meal when he was scared out of his mind and refused to reenter the dungeon.</p>
</mono>
<mono>
<p></p>
<p>[Is that person even human? Thats a demon! Have you ever seen a talking lantern? I wont go. You cant make me.]</p>
</mono>
<mono pageend="true">
<p></p>
<p>Its almost as if the outlander in the cell was even scarier than “Eagle”.</p>
</mono>
<mono>
<p></p>
<p>The even stranger thing was that “Eagle” was not angry at all, like he usually would be.</p>
</mono>
<mono pageend="true">
<p></p>
<p>[Well have plenty of people in a couple of days, so just send some more help.]</p>
<p></p>
<p>He sent about 10 people or so, all armed.</p>
</mono>
<mono pageend="true">
<p></p>
<p>The newcomers carefully entered the cell but came out fine, so their fear disappeared pretty quickly and instead began to mock the two guards before them.</p>
<p></p>
<p>But either way, the bandits didnt underestimate the man and split into day and night guards to ensure that there would always be at least five people guarding the cell.</p>
<p></p>
<p>Of course, those five unlucky few hadnt the slightest clue of what happened inside the dungeon.</p>
</mono>
<transition mode="fade" in="1" stop="0.5" out="1" color="#000000"></transition>
<bg img="BGSky04"></bg>
<mono>
<p></p>
<p>Its strange. There was no sound at all coming out of the cell that we threw the girl who angered our leader in.</p>
<p></p>
<p>An all-encompassing silence— A deathly calmness.</p>
</mono>
<mono pageend="true">
<p></p>
<p>No voices, no random noises, nothing.</p>
</mono>
<bg img="PureBlack"></bg>
<mono pageend="true">
<p></p>
<p>The guards didnt hear anything strange, but they smelled something weird: something was burning.</p>
<p></p>
<p>That scent grew stronger and stronger as the five of them picked up their blades and gathered at the entrance.</p>
</mono>
<mono>
<p></p>
<p>[You wanna go down there?]</p>
<p>A guard asked the others quietly.</p>
