This chapter is updated by NovelFree.ml
Chu Qing-Yan saw the troop of bows and arrows were completely wiped out. The taut string in her heart could finally relax. The crisis was removed, then Big Block of Ice’s group should be safe.
However, how could matters in life really follow people’s expectations?
Before the first wave subsided, another arrived!
Tonight was foreordained to be a restless night.
Before she had the time to take a step forward, she heard Dongting Wang-Yu start speaking again. “They came!”
Came? What came?
Chu Yang Yan looked up, following Dongting Wang-Yu’s gaze, and only saw a white shadowy object descending from the sky. It was light and thin like paper, but not at all affected by the heavy rain, coming and going in places without people. It flew rapidly toward Big Block of Ice’s position.
She opened her eyes wide, boring through the endless rain and discovered a female with white gauze over her face standing there. One could see that her body was graceful as she stood with a long sword in hand and an eerie smile. “His Royal Highness, I heard your martial arts is unsurpassed, so this seat has come to have a match with you. Let’s see if your sword is fast, or if the sword of this seat is faster!”
Xiao Xu’s facial features looked dignified, but his eyes that looked at her were calm and without ripples. “You are Moon Palace Sect’s people?”
“Your Highness Prince Ying really has good eyes, but unfortunately you will die an untimely death tonight!” The woman dressed in snow white flipped her hand, and the sharp sword tip was already aimed at Xiao Xu’s throat.
Xiao Xu raised his sword and lightly blocked, that sword tip slanted and went to the right side. Then he used strength to wave his sword and that white shadowy thing was split in two.
The entire body of the snow white clothed woman turned over and dropped down from that white shadowy thing. Her eyebrows narrowed. “His Royal Highness, rumors had it that you are cold-blooded and ruthless. Now that I have seen you today, you really are a master that doesn’t have tender feelings for the fairer sex.”
Xiao Xu did not reply, what answered her was the sword in his hand.
The snow white clothed woman laughed in a low tone and flipped over, avoiding his offensive move.
Following right after, their moves got faster and faster, so that others couldn’t see clearly anymore.
Chu Qing-Yan gave a cold snort, feeling this person was somewhat shameless, “putting the knife on someone else’s neck and still wants the other people to be lenient, isn’t that too naive?”
“That sword strike just now, she only used 50 percent of her strength. Normally, very few people can get past three moves in her hands.” Dongting Wang-Yu looked at the person fighting with Xiao Xu in the rain and sighed softly. She was worthy of being the most capable subordinate in his father’s hands. But today she was fighting with Xiao Xu, don’t know who has the chips to win. He also wanted to see Xiao Xu’s real strength.
“She is so powerful?” Chu Qing Yan was slightly surprised.
“No matter how you say it, this is still skills after more than twenty years of practice. In the past, in the Jiang Hu (1) she was the the charming woman that struck the fatal blow, and everyone would be terror-stricken when hearing her name.” Dongting sighed softly. It’s only a pity that after receiving an injury to her feelings, she no longer lightly stepped out into the Jiang Hu. She had been in retreat and had been practicing martial arts in seclusion. Now that she had come out and was able to encounter such opponent, she was exceptionally excited.
“Twenty years? Then isn’t she already in her thirties?” Chu Qing-Yan looked incredulously at that seductive and graceful figure in snow white clothes. She seemed to only be around twenty years old.
Dongting Wang-Yu’s lip hooked into a smile, the charm was so natural. “That’s because she has a technique to maintain her appearance. The martial art she practices can keep her face from aging, or it could be said that she ages much slower than others.”
Chu Qing-Yan nodded in understanding, but after second thoughts, she felt it was somewhat fishy. She immediately narrowed her eyes and looked at him. “Dongting, why do you know so much? Do you know her?”
The corner of Dongting Wang-Yu’s eyes suddenly jumped. In one careless moment he let it slip. He immediately coughed lightly a few times, covering up the guilty conscience on his face, and turned to give several laughs. “That’s because this young master is experienced and knowledgeable. Normally my favorite thing to do is to look into the odd and miscellaneous happenings in the Jiang Hu. Didn’t that woman just acknowledge that she is from the Moon Palace sect? As far as I know, she is someone who could claim to be the Law Keeper of Moon Palace sect, moreover she’s a woman. With a slight move of my finger, I just know. ”
At this moment, Chu Qing-Yan didn’t have the inclination to bother with him over these matters. Hearing him say it like this, she also put down her misgivings. She turned her thoughts to the melee below.
After the appearance of that snow white clothed woman, a large group of women wearing white clothing that followed behind her also rushed into the battle.
White and black clothed people fought each other, the clothes flew by fast and rotated in circles. Chu Qing-Yan seemed to see a game of chess, the black and white pieces were carrying out a cruel fight at close quarters. You strive, I contend, neither side conceding. Her heart once again clenched tightly.
The two people fighting inseparably suddenly used their last strength to hit out, and were jolted apart.
The woman in snow white was fiercely thrown to the ground, she was just about to straighten up when she spat out a mouthful of blood.
The women from Moon Palace sect, seeing this, rushed over one after another. “Law Keeper——”
While Xiao Xu landed on the ground, his body couldn’t endure it and he half knelt on the ground. The long sword in his hand inserted into the ground, with great difficulty propping up his body.
The woman in snow white slowly got up under the support of her followers. She smiled with painstaking effort. “Xiao Xu, didn’t expect you already had internal injuries and yet still able to hold on until now. This seat’s palm strike with 100% of my force couldn’t destroy your inner strength. You really are worthy of your famous reputation. A pity this seat has to tell you that tonight is the day you will be buried.”
The woman in snow white took a glance at a dark place not far away and laughed sinisterly, then gave the order. “Withdraw!”
No one discovered that glance by the woman in snow white as everyone quickly crowded around Xiao Xu.
“Master, how do you feel?” Air Spirit extended a hand wanting to take his pulse but was avoided by him.
“Nothing, don’t need to worry.” Xiao Xu tried to stand up, but lacking strength he fell down. One knee heavily kneeled in the mud and bits of blood blossomed in the water.
“Master——” Everyone couldn’t help but cry out in alarm.
Although Xiao Xu was surrounded by people, and she couldn’t see what his circumstances were at this moment, but from just now when he sunk to his knee, Chu Qing-Yan had already cried out “not good”. And at this moment, Earth Spirit and others’ panicked voices sounded, Chu Qing-Yan couldn’t stand still anymore.
“Big Block of Ice——”
“You can’t go!” Dongting Wang-Yu grabbed her hand. The crisis hadn’t be resolved, not all the people hidden in the dark has come out. The little girl still must not go right now.
Chu Qing-Yan turned her head back, with a grief struck expression, to look at him. But her tone was serious and firm. “Dongting, I know you are doing it for my own good. But I can’t look on helplessly as he gets injured and remain aloof. Dongting, I must go over there, he needs me!”
Dongting Wang-Yu met her pair of peaceful eyes, so dazzling that it was hotter than the sun. He felt as if he was burned by her, and he subconsciously relinquished his grip. And that slender wrist took advantage of this moment to struggle free from his hand.
Chu Qing-Yan raised her foot and was about to leave, but then she paused. With her back to the person behind her, her tone had traces of gratitude. “Dongting, no matter what, thank you. If it was not for you, we wouldn’t have rushed over so promptly. Don’t know if in the future there will be an opportunity to repay you. You take care of yourself.”
Her tone contained a smile, and that smile contained a reluctance to part. But in the end, she didn’t turn back and rushed toward that person as if duty-bound.
The corner of her clothing flew quickly, brushing by his fingertips like the butterfly in the afternoon, flying away, not at all reminiscing. He couldn’t grab it no matter what!
Clearly knowing there was danger but still recklessly rushed in like moth to a flame?
Little girl——
1) Jiang Hu – Sometimes translated as lakes and rivers. Basically the part of society that sort of ignore the government officials and have their own rules. The society of people learning and using martial arts. They usually don’t interact with the government.
