Hmm?
When Shi Yanfeng, who was walking, heard this, his expression changed. He said in a low voice, âElder Zhu, is there someone else here?â
âYes.â
The aged calm voice sounded, âThis little rat came before us.â
âBefore us?â Shi Yanfengâs eyes flickered. âDid he sneak in to steal something?â
âWeâll have to ask him.â
Whoosh!
A strong gust of wind suddenly sounded, tearing through the night sky and heading straight for the room Su Jingxing was in.
Bang!
The wall was penetrated.
Su Jingxing, who was hiding in the room, saw a ruthlessly-shaped silver metal claw pierce through the wall and sweep past the spot where Su Jingxing was standing a second ago.
Swoosh!
The chain connected to the silver metal claw slid and pulled the empty metal claw back through the hole in the wall.
âHe actually dodged it. Not bad.â
The old manâs steady voice carried a hint of surprise. âNo wonder you dared to visit White River Dojo at night. I guess you do have something to rely on.â
âElder Zhu, we canât let him go,â Shi Yanfeng said coldly.
Presently, he did not have any of the gentleness and smiles from before.
An extremely bloodthirsty aura emanated from his body as killing intent burst forth from his eyes.
âDonât worry, Young Master. He wonât be able to leave.â
Elder Zhu, who was less than 20 meters away from Su Jingxing, held a silver metal claw in each of his hands and replied in a deep voice, âThis little rat thinks that we canât do anything to him just because heâs hiding inside. How ignorant, fearless. So naive and adorable!â
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The air tore and crackled.
Two silver metal claws suddenly shot out from Elder Zhuâs hands. With the chains as they once again pierced through the walls of the room that Su Jingxing was in and attacked him.
Even though they could not see Su Jingxing, their iron claws kept locking onto him. The sound of the chains extending and retracting echoed in the dojo.
Swoosh! Swoosh!
Su Jingxing used his footwork and easily dodged them.
âEveryone, I just happened to pass by and wanted to fish for some little things. I donât have any other thoughts, nor will I have any other thoughts.â
Su Jingxing roughened his voice and said, âI can guarantee that there is no conflict between us and we wonât meet again in the future. Letâs part ways tonight. Youâll go your way and Iâll go mine. How about that?â
âNone of that.â
Shi Yanfeng shouted coldly, âNot interfering with each other? This can only be used to trick a child. You want us to believe that you wonât spout nonsense? Itâs very simple. Step out of the room and kill yourself in front of us!â
âOnly the dead can keep secrets?â Su Jingxingâs voice was calm.
âThatâs right. Only the dead can keep secrets!â
Shi Yanfeng snorted coldly. âYouâre very calm and youâre pretty strong. Unfortunately, youâve heard things you shouldnât have. I can only send you to your death.â
Su Jingxing remained silent.
The next moment, he walked slowly to the door. The door opened with a creak and he walked out.
Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh!
The others hiding in the corners all looked over and locked onto Su Jingxing.
Even Du Liangjing was shocked. At the same time, he felt a surge of hope in his heart.
If this cloaked man was very powerful, he might have a chance to escape!
Shi Yanfeng, however, was confident and chuckled. âA wise choice.â
âDo it!â
He raised his hand and shouted, âAfter you kill yourself, I will send your corpse to the crematorium in one piece.â
Su Jingxing remained calm and said aloofly, âI have no other choice?â
âNo!â Shi Yanfeng was firm.
âI must die?â Su Jingxing pressed.
âYou must die!â
Shi Yanfengâs voice became harsher. âCut the crap and kill yourself. Once youâre dead, itâll save effort for both of us.â
âYes,â Su Jingxing agreed.
Hmm?
Shi Yanfeng frowned. âWhat do you mean?â
âI said, what you just said was very correct.â Su Jingxing listened to his surroundings to make sure that no one else had appeared, and throwing daggers appeared in his palm silently.
âWhich sentence?â Shi Yanfeng was puzzled and said impatiently, âAre you going to kill yourself or not? If not, Iâll get someone to help you.â
âRight away,â Su Jingxing replied calmly.
The next secondââ
Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish! Swish!
Amidst the shrill sound of rushing wind, nine streaks of light suddenly bloomed and resounded through the night.
Within a second, nine flying daggers shot out like lightning towards the nine people.
Shi Yanfeng, Elder Zhu, and the seven other people hiding in the corners.
With the release of the Colossal Divine Dagger, each of the nine throwing daggers carried immense strength.
Soââ
Bang! Bang! Bang!
A series of explosions went off at almost the same time.
Every single one of the seven people hiding in the corners exploded and died.
âWa!â
Shi Yanfeng spat out a mouthful of blood and flew backward uncontrollably, crashing onto the ground.
A pendant hanging from his neck shattered at the same time, turning into dust.
The moment the throwing dagger arrived before him, the pendant suddenly glowed and produced a translucent membrane that wrapped around Shi Yanfengâs entire body.
The terrifying impact of the throwing daggerâs explosion was mostly neutralized by the translucent membrane. Less than 10% of the force hit Shi Yanfeng.
Shi Yanfeng was sent flying. Although he wasnât dead, his entire body was aching and he couldnât move for the time being.
Among the nine people, only Elder Zhu controlled a silver metal claw to face the throwing dagger head-on.
The explosion from the collision destroyed both the metal claw and throwing dagger.
At this moment, his expression was ugly and the killing intent in his eyes seemed to materialize.
âHow dare you! I misjudged you previously. I didnât expect you to have such a move!â
As his voice fell, Elder Zhu controlled his other silver claw to pierce through the air and attack Su Jingxing.
Swish! Swish!
Su Jingxing stepped on Eight Steps Rising Dragon and his body flickered agilely. As he dodged the metal claws, he charged at Elder Zhu with lightning speed.
âCourting death!â
A sharp look appeared in Elder Zhuâs eyes. In his other hand, a stream of grayish-white true energy spiraled rapidly and seeped out of his body.
Bang!
The air exploded.
A withered yellow palm condensed and pushed towards Su Jingxing.
âSeven Steps Fist!â
Su Jingxingâs true energy wrapped around his fist. With double the strength, his punch shattered the palm print.
His feet didnât stop moving. With his nimble steps, he had already arrived in front of Elder Zhu.
Elder Zhu wore a hideous expression. His eyes were wide open. He angrily roared, âReckless felâ¦â
Swoosh!
Boom!
A saber light suddenly radiated and exploded the air.
Su Jingxing swiftly drew his treasure weapon slashed hard towards Elder Zhu.
Three Origins Saber Art, Human Originââ
âUpwind Single Slash!â
âSweeping River Army Slash!â
âAscending Dragon Overlord Slash!â
Boom boom boom!
Under the explosive force of 100,000 catties of strength, every saber strike caused the air to explode and battered Elder Zhuâs body.
The three moves were executed in succession. As they were repeated, each slash became faster and fiercer.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
Caught off guard, Elder Zhu summoned his protective true energy to defend himself.
However, his body was unable to withstand the enormous impact and was forced to retreat.
His heavy footsteps left clear footprints on the ground.
âAhhh!â
As he retreated, he roared. His face quickly flushed red, his eyes filled with fear and disbelief. âWho are you! Who are you!? Think carefully, if you kill usâ¦â
Plkch!
Suddenly, Elder Zhuâs roar ended abruptly.
His head flew into the air the moment his protective true energy shattered!
