Chapter 71: Eliminate all Witnesses
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
With a cry of surprise, the Fourth Elder who had been pushed back from the furious attack saw before his own eyes before he could even react, the Elder Senior's broken sword being struck and sent flying away, and the Blue Edge with its brilliant blue glow being thrust right into the Senior Elder's chest with a sickening swoosh…..
He could even see the wide eyed disbelief in the gaze of the Senior Elder.
He was looking like he wasn't willing to accept, startled, and refusing to believe that he would die under the hands of an opponent he had slighted and despised.
The Fourth Elder watched as the Senior Elder fell over twitching horribly, his eyes showing he could not reconcile with his fate. The Fourth Elder's heart jumped and he turned his eyes to look at the girl with her red clothes billowing out behind her. He saw her pulling the sword out and looking straight at him. And at that moment, his instinct was screaming at him to run!
Yes! Run!
That was the only thought in his head, and his body had reflexively responded and was about to make his getaway. However, his feet had just taken the first step and that demonic like voice suddenly sounded within his ears.
"I've told you, all who sees the Blue Edge, has to die!"
The moment the icy cold bloodthirsty voice dropped, a flash of red passed, suddenly standing before the Fourth Elder, smiling without a trace of mirth as she stared at the pale face that was twisted up in terror and fear.
"Where do you think you can run to?"
"HYAA!"
He shouted and raised the long sword in his hand while imbuing his mystical Qi into it, before slashing it down towards Feng Jiu.
Seeing that he had nowhere else to run, he had no choice but to fight to the death! Despite that he had been shocked by her strange skills when they had engaged earlier, there were no other options before him. To fight for a chance to live, he pushed out every single bit of the mystical Qi within him in an explosive surge. When the mystical Qi of a full Master Warrior was released, even the sand and dust stirred and lifted off the ground.
"I do not believe that a fully complete Master Warrior such as I, can be defeated by such a wrench!"
He shouted at her, the swirling mystical Qi around his body elevating his speed to its peak. When he struck, his body moved quick like a hurricane, ferocious as a tiger.
In response, Feng Jiu summoned all the mystical Qi within her, bringing it to a surge. Her advantage here was not in mystical Qi, but it was the Blue Edge Sword in her hand, and her fatal strikes delivered with lethal pinpoint precision!
She wasn't about to compete with him in mystical Qi. She only wanted to kill her opponent in the shortest time possible, or else, the ruckus here would soon attract a bunch of cultivators here, and it would be hard for her to get away from here at that time.
The red figure moved in an endless flurry, borrowing from the Blue Edge Sword its unstoppable force, every single stroke of the sword a lethal strike, her technique quick and forceful. Even with the Four Elder with his guard up, he was unable to stand up against the Blue Edge Sword's sharp slashes and Feng Jiu's lethal attacks.
"Time to end this!"
She gripped the sword in two hands at the moment that the Fourth Elder was pushed back, and she pushed all her mystical Qi into the Blue Edge Sword, striking quickly with all her might in a slash right at him.
The Fourth Elder instinctively blocked the blow with the sword in his hand, but…..
'KLANG!'
"ARRGGHH!"
A loud shriek tore through the sky. The sword in the Fourth Elder's hand was slashed right through by Feng Jiu, together with his body, which was sliced in two halves as he fell to the ground.
Feng Jiu's gaze quickly swept over the three corpses on the ground, the Blue Edge Sword in her hand lifting the Cosmos Sacks hanging at their hips. She summoned her Qi and leapt, over the wall in the tiny alley, quickly departing from there…..
Just as her front foot had just left the place, several cultivators immediately poured into the little alley. They had heard the sound of fighting and had come to investigate. But, when they entered the tiny alley and saw the gory scene there, their faces immediately changed colour, and some of them even vomited on the spot, unable to hold it in.
There was no need to be so merciless in killing a person, and the scene in there was really too bloody and gory, and all of them who saw it found it a little hard to stomach.
"The three people who died were Master Warriors!"
A braver elderly cultivator went to check the three people who died and when he realised the level of power they held, he was greatly shocked.
To have been able to kill three Master Warriors, just how powerful was that person! ?
Chapter 72: Aggrieved
Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
When the news of three Master Warriors had been brutally murdered, it shocked all the cultivators and even alerted the Pavilion Guards .
Only that the Pavilion Guards are only in charge of maintaining the town's law and order for the common people. For matters regarding the cultivation world, they have no means to intervene, even more so for three cultivators who were at Master Warrior level.
The only thing they could do was to identify the corpses and notify their family of their demise.
However, the news had spread like rapid fire. After all, the death of three Master Warriors in town was not a small matter.
As for these matters, Feng Jiu did not care about it and once she returned to her courtyard, she entered her own space and started cultivating.
The black market mercenaries had withdrew the task of hunting her down so the next few days were very peaceful, and both of them could concentrate on cultivating. A few days later, Guan Xi Lin walked in dejected after he came back from the marketplace after buying some food back.
"Brother?" Feng Jiu felt something was amiss when she saw his forlorn expression. After calling out to him, he still had no response.
"Brother?" She called out to him again and he finally came to.
"Oh, Little Jiu, you called me?" Only after a short while after sorting out his feelings did he flash her a weak smile, but what he didn't know was that this smile looked very forced.
"What happened to you? Did something happen?" She walked towards him and asked with deep concern.
Guan Xi Lin silently lowered his head, holding back his thoughts.
"It's something that you don't want to tell me? Then it's alright, I won't ask any further."
Hearing this, he hurriedly looked up in a fluster and quickly interjected, "No, it's not that Little Jiu! It's just… it's just that…"
He took in a deep breath and looked at her. In a slightly trembling voice, he said: "When I went out to buy something, I heard some news of my family. I heard that my cousin is about to get married."
Having known him all this while, she had never asked him about his past, or about his family. Similarly, he did not about hers. This was the first time that she heard him mention his family.
"Do you want to go back and attend the wedding?"
His hand gently touched his waist where his wound was healing and he had a sad gaze as he spoke with nostalgia. "Little Jiu, did you know? Since the age of six, I've been raised by my Uncle and had been cultivating with my cousin ever since. Although we did not have the same parents, however I've always respected him and always thought of him as my own Brother. Never would I have thought that he would be the culprit that suddenly stabbed me in the back.
"If it was not for your life saving grace, I think I would already be dead. I've always wanted to understand why he wanted to kill me, but once I heard the news, I knew it was because of her."
"Her?" Feng Jiu was stunned.
"Well, the woman that he is about to marry is the third Young Miss of the He family, He Xin Ya. She's the fiancée which my Father had set for me.
Hearing this, Feng Jiu stared at him dumbfounded. What was this? He was literally stabbed in his back by his cousin who also robbed him of his fiancée? She cast him a look of sympathy, this Brother of hers really had quite a sad past.
Looking at his dejected and forlorn expression, she asked him curiously, "Brother, do you like that woman?"
Guan Xi Lin shook his head, "My feelings for her aren't that strong, it's just that knowing that she was going to be my woman since young and hearing that she's about to marry someone else now, moreover that person is my cousin, it leaves a bitter aftertaste. I feel very wronged."
"Hahaha!"
She could not help but laugh out loud. When she saw his helpless and embarrassed expression, she quickly held back her laughter. "Alright, alright, I won't laugh, won't laugh." However that couldn't stop her from grinning widely.
