Chapter 1123: Chapter 1123: Roaming the World with a Sword (27)
Qiu Yuehe’s soft sword almost slipped from his hand as he retreated several meters, his eyes gleaming with an eerie light, shooting towards Ming Xian like a knife’s shadow.
Ming Xian’s eyes beneath the mask were tinged with red, seething with murderous intent. He had always been unaware that there was someone behind the scenes orchestrating the events of that year.
If it hadn’t been for Gao Yong speaking out, he would never have known.
Wait a minute…
Initially, it was she who told me.
But at that time, it didn’t involve so much.
“Who… exactly are you?” Qiu Yuehe began to investigate him after realizing the people Ming Xian killed weren’t right.
But it was as if he had appeared out of nowhere, suddenly storming into the Brahman Immortal Sect and becoming the Sect Hierarch.
Before entering the Brahman Immortal Sect, there wasn’t a single piece of information.
“I…” Ming Xian stared at Qiu Yuehe, enunciating each word: “am the one avenging the unjust souls of Kongming Valley.”
Qiu Yuehe’s expression turned ashen: “You…”
Ming Xian suddenly moved, his white robe drawing a graceful arc as the fierce sword energy swept over.
Qiu Yuehe leapt up, avoiding the sword energies, which instead split the plum blossom stakes behind him, cutting them in half and toppling them to the ground.
“Who taught you your sword technique!”
Qiu Yuehe shouted.
The further they fought, the more Qiu Yuehe noticed that his sword technique was similar to his own, yet he knew it was different, with different power levels.
The sword technique Ming Xian wielded was far more destructive than his own.
–
[Miss sister, aren’t you going to help your Good Person Card fight?]
King’s Account couldn’t help but speak up when he saw Chuzheng retreat to the back, with an attitude of intending to watch the show.
“Isn’t he pretty capable of fighting?” Chuzheng said, “I was about to catch Qiu Yuehe, and he suddenly jumped out. He can fight himself.”
What’s Han Qiqi’s way of seeing people!
[Miss sister, as a good person, how can you let your Good Person Card do the fighting? You should go help now!] King’s Account reminded her seriously.
Chuzheng spoke nonsense with a straight face: “The Good Person Card is a mature Good Person Card now; it must learn to fight on its own.”
[…] I believe your nonsense!
–
Bang—
Qiu Yuehe crashed into several plum blossom stakes, sliding a distance on the ground before stopping.
Ming Xian’s sword pointed directly at the center of Qiu Yuehe’s forehead.
Qiu Yuehe’s face turned slightly pale, with blood faintly oozing from the corner of his mouth.
Ming Xian, capable of stirring up storms in the martial world, naturally had formidable strength. If it weren’t for Liang Xuan’s drugging, Ming Xian wouldn’t have been forced to jump off the cliff back when they besieged the Brahman Immortal Sect.
“Shadowless Sword Technique… how do you know Shadowless Sword Technique!!”
In the box Qiu Yuehe wanted back then, there was the Shadowless Sword Technique.
This set of sword techniques was created by the founder of Kongming Valley himself, and it had always been passed down exclusively within Kongming Valley. Due to its tremendous destructive power, it was later prohibited for the disciples within the valley to practice, leaving only each successive Valley Master to guard it.
Qiu Yuehe inadvertently learned about this sword technique.
Considering all factors, Qiu Yuehe became tempted by the sword technique.
However, given how impenetrable it was within Kongming Valley, it was impossible for Qiu Yuehe to openly acquire it.
So…
The look in Ming Xian’s eyes beneath the mask seemed engraved with coldness: “So back then, it was for this sword technique that you massacred the entire Kongming Valley.”
“I didn’t want to, but they wouldn’t give it to me,” Qiu Yuehe felt no remorse at all: “What could I do?”
He needed such a sword technique. By then, his martial arts could no longer advance further, and at the next Alliance Hierarch meeting, he would lose his position as Alliance Hierarch.
Of course, greed played a larger part.
Greed for such power.
Ming Xian said, “Unfortunately, all you got was a fragment.”
Qiu Yuehe’s eyes widened.
A fragment…
How could it possibly be a fragment?
However, the power of the sword technique Ming Xian displayed had made Qiu Yuehe believe he might truly have only acquired a fragment.
If not, how could he possibly be outmatched?
Qiu Yuehe suddenly roared: “Who are you, who are you really!!”
“I am the Young Valley Master of Kongming Valley.”
Qiu Yuehe’s eyes suddenly widened: “Impossible, it can’t be, you’re dead…”
Qiu Yuehe trusted Gao Qi’s words.
They wouldn’t have gotten it wrong.
He chose to act during the New Year because he knew that during that time, all the disciples of Kongming Valley would return to the valley, allowing him to capture them all in one go.
Ming Xian’s voice was low and deep: “I wish I had died too.”
But he didn’t die.
He witnessed those people committing atrocities, witnessed Gao Yong and others violate his sister. They were nothing but beasts, a bunch of demons.
They deserved to die.
Deserved to die…
Kill them.
Kill all these people.
They all deserve to die.
The voice in Ming Xian’s heart continuously echoed as his hand holding the sword trembled slightly. Qiu Yuehe seemed to notice his abnormality, his eyes flashed, and he took advantage of Ming Xian’s distraction to propel himself up, leaping into the air.
Ming Xian moved faster, twisting his long sword and stabbing toward Qiu Yuehe’s back.
Qiu Yuehe’s body instinctively dodged, avoiding a critical hit, cursing under his breath as he flung hidden weapons from his sleeve.
The hidden weapons sliced through the air, speeding forward.
Ming Xian couldn’t evade.
He simply didn’t dodge, charging towards the hidden weapons.
However, just as the weapons were about to hit him, they suddenly veered off, being deflected back as if by something, piercing into Qiu Yuehe’s legs instead.
“Ah—”
Qiu Yuehe screamed miserably, collapsing to his knees with a thud.
Ming Xian was embraced by someone, with a girl’s clear voice ringing in his ear: “Don’t you want to live?” sounding a bit fierce.
Qiu Yuehe, seeing something unknown, flipped his hand and threw something toward them.
Chuzheng didn’t see what it was, assuming it was a hidden weapon, and pulled Ming Xian to dodge.
Bang—
Smoke billowed, leaving only a white mist in sight.
–
Qiu Yuehe escaped.
His men, who knows when they returned, swiftly took him away after he tossed the smoke bomb.
The fate of Liang Xuan and Zhao Fu was unknown, and Seven Star Island suddenly plunged into deadly silence.
Gao Qi, having lost too much blood, lay on the ground like a fish out of water, gasping, as if poised on the brink of death.
“Didn’t I tell you to wait, why did you rush out?”
Chuzheng looked at Ming Xian, her voice cooling considerably.
“That was my enemy.” Ming Xian hadn’t finished saying ‘It has nothing to do with you’ before Chuzheng interrupted him.
“Had you not rushed out, I would have caught him by now.”
“…”
Ming Xian couldn’t find words, clutching his sword as he stood there, head hanging low as if he was a child who’d done something wrong, yet if one saw his deep, dark eyes, they probably wouldn’t think so.
Villain A and others failed to catch up with Qiu Yuehe and his men, and their ship had also disappeared, leaving the sea empty.
However, they did discover Liang Xuan and Zhao Fu.
Liang Xuan was seriously injured. Zhao Fu was slightly better off, only having suffered minor injuries. At this moment, she stood glaring with her beautiful eyes, tied in front of them, looking furious.
“Miss Chuzheng, how should we deal with this?”
Chuzheng asked casually, “What do you think of this island?”
Villain A and others: “…”
Unable to discern the real intention behind Chuzheng’s question, both dared not speak rashly: “It’s… it’s okay, I guess.”
Chuzheng said nothing more, and Villain A and others glanced at each other before deciding to turn and trouble the Sect Hierarch.
The Sect Hierarch was in a foul mood since Chuzheng wouldn’t let him take action against Gao Qi and Gao Yong.
They were his enemies, so why couldn’t he act!!
He was the Sect Hierarch!!
