Chapter 1909: Chapter 949: Adorable Long Yi (Tael, Double Update)
Two of the four Masters have already fallen.
"Wow." Shangguan Qing uttered this kind of exclamation for the umpteenth time tonight. Watching Long Yi, who killed gods and buddhas alike, he murmured, "More arrogant than my old man."
"Tian Slayer! I’ll kill you!"
The Black Tortoise Venerable tossed aside the long sword in his hand, heightened his inner power to the utmost, and charged at Long Yi fiercely. He no longer cared if Tian Slayer would stab him; it didn’t matter now, because he wanted to perish together with Tian Slayer!
Shangguan Qing gasped: "Hey hey hey! Be careful, you!"
Xiao Hen furrowed his brow: "Long Yi!"
The Black Tortoise Venerable made a death-defying leap towards Long Yi, but Long Yi deftly dodged.
The Black Tortoise Venerable was relentless. He pushed his agility to the extreme, chasing like a shadow.
Long Yi glanced at him, once again performing a leap with agility, arriving at the edge of the cliff. He gripped the long sword in his hand, pointing at the Black Tortoise Venerable.
The Black Tortoise Venerable charged recklessly.
Long Yi crouched down, covering his head.
The Black Tortoise Venerable: "???"
You! Dammit!
Weren’t you supposed to stab me!
"I’m not resigned to this—"
Accompanied by a frenzy of snarling, the venerable master flew off the cliff.
Shangguan Qing was dumbfounded: "Can you still do that?"
Xiao Hen sighed with relief, it was still the familiar Long Yi.
Only the final Azure Dragon Venerable remained, though he was the most skilled master. However, at this moment, he had the urge to withdraw; he didn’t want to fight Long Yi.
He retreated far away.
At this distance, chasing him down would be difficult.
Long Yi’s eyes twinkled, his cold aura dissipated in a second; he sprawled on the ground, lying flat.
Seeing the Azure Dragon Venerable still not approaching, he simply tilted his mouth, sticking out his tongue, rolling his eyes.
Seemingly saying.
I’m injured, easy to kill.
Xiao Hen and Shangguan Qing covered their eyes, unable to bear watching. This cringe-worthy acting, was he trying to steal Jiaojiao’s thunder?
The Azure Dragon Venerable was so stupefied his body shook!
"I’m not falling for it!"
He turned and walked away!
Bang!
It was Shangguan Qing pulling the trigger of the firearm.
The Azure Dragon Venerable was shot away, Long Yi got up and delivered a kick, perfectly sending him off the cliff as well.
Shangguan Qing blew smoke from the gun muzzle, ran to the cliff edge, peered down, his acrophobia kicking in, prompted him to step back, grabbing onto Long Yi’s arm.
Long Yi looked at the claw clutching his arm, held back from chopping it off.
Shangguan Qing didn’t realize his claws were close to being severed, turned and smiled at Long Yi: "We cooperated pretty well just now, right? My name’s Shangguan Qing! I’m Xiao Hen’s brother! Aw, my dumb brother knows nothing but studying; how about you follow me from now on? Hmm... I can follow you too! Together, swords in hand, we’ll roam the Jianghu, that would be—"
As he spoke, Long Yi’s gaze suddenly sharpened. He spun around, slashing out a burst of sword energy!
But it was too late; the silhouette silently approached, grabbing Xiao Hen and Gu Jiao in the sword formation.
They headed toward the rear peak.
Without a word, Long Yi used his agility to pursue immediately.
Shangguan Qing yelled: "Hey! Wait for me!"
He glanced at Gu Changqing and Duke An behind the rock, couldn’t leave, he had to stay!
...
In the dense forest of a slope, two young handsome noblemen were proceeding blindly.
"Can’t we use an oil lamp?"
"No, we’ll be discovered!"
"We’re still not halfway up the mountain; how’d they know from so far?"
"Don’t underestimate the abilities of Jianlu disciples."
"Bah, Jianlu disciples! Maybe my sister’s killed them all!"
Gu Chengfeng cast him an annoyed glance.
Gu Yan said: "What? Am I wrong?"
Gu Chengfeng said: "Fine, fine, you’re right, you’re always right. But until we’re absolutely safe, let’s be cautious. I’m not afraid myself, but you don’t know martial arts. If someone shows up, I’m afraid you can’t escape!"
"Humph!" Gu Yan turned his head away.
Gu Chengfeng warned: "When you see your sister later, don’t say I brought you!"
Gu Yan folded his arms: "Got it, I’ll say we bumped into each other midway."
Jiaojiao won’t believe it.
You’re in for a beating.
Though it’s me who insisted on following.
Gu Chengfeng looked ahead: "Hey, looks like there’s a small bamboo house. I’ll go scout, you wait here, don’t follow—"
Before he could finish, Gu Chengfeng noticed Gu Yan had already hidden behind a big tree.
...there’s no need.
In the little bamboo house, there wasn’t a soul in sight, Gu Chengfeng made two cuckoo calls, signaling safety.
Gu Yan emerged and approached.
Gu Chengfeng said: "No one’s here, let’s go to the Villa."
"Okay." Gu Yan nodded, turned, stepped onto something unknown, suddenly the ground split open, and both fell without any preparation.
...
Long Yi chased the shadow to the conference hall of Cangjian Villa.
The hall was vast and open, candle flames danced on the candlesticks, not bright, swaying with the night wind, reminiscent of ghost fires in mid-July.
On the raised platform facing the main gate, a large purple sandalwood chair was centrally placed.
An elderly man, dressed in gray-white long robes and cloaked in golden gauze, sat there with a mighty aura. His breath didn’t leak; this was the supreme level of martial arts.
In all Jianlu, none but Long Yi and the master with the surname Rong could reach this level.
Within the main hall, there was only Master Chu.
Long Yi stared at him coldly, tightly gripping the Black Moon Sword in his hand.
Master Rong smiled faintly and said: "Tian Slayer, you’ve finally arrived."
In Long Yi’s eyes, endless hatred and fury arose: "Release the people."
Master Rong’s smile faded slightly: "After so many years, can’t even greet me as master?"
Long Yi tightened his grip on the sword hilt.
Master Rong smiled kindly again: "They are very safe now, you can rest assured. Didn’t expect you’d make a few friends after leaving the island all these years, quite gratifying for a master."
Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen were actually behind Master Rong, hidden behind a hollow wooden wall.
A Jianlu expert in black robes was guarding them, it was he who brought them here.
Xiao Hen’s acupoints were sealed, Gu Jiao was already unconscious, so no one did anything to her yet.
But in truth, Gu Jiao had long since awakened.
She listened quietly, eyes closed, to the movements in the main hall.
Master Rong smiled: "Heard you went to Jianlu Island some time ago, sorry, had things to do, couldn’t wait for you on the island."
Upon hearing this, Gu Jiao and Xiao Hen realized the Jianlu Island massacre was indeed a self-directed ruse by Jianlu.
To deceive Long Yi and the Dark Night Sect, they truly put in efforts sacrificing so many disciples.
Master Rong said: "Tian Slayer, you and I have no grievances. As long as you obediently call me master as before, I can forgive all your sins."
Long Yi said: "I’ll say it once more, release the people."
His tone was calm, but actually, his emotions were fluctuating intensely, Gu Jiao felt it from behind the wall.
Like a surge of intense hatred, and also like a wave of unwilling humiliation.
Never had Long Yi felt such emotions, even not when dealing with such an annoying Dark Soul.
Could it be... did the Jianlu Master once do something to Long Yi?
