Chapter 124: Interrogation
That night, Master Guanxin, in league with an old Daoist and a jianghu swordsman, had jointly ambushed Master Huizhen. Later, Li Yanchu and Bai Hongtu had arrived and slain the swordsman, but Master Guanxin and the old Daoist had mysteriously vanished. And that Daoist had wielded an Eight Trigrams Mirror just like this one.
When Daoist Master Jin Feng made his move just now, his once upright and dignified appearance suddenly shifted. His demeanor became cold and vicious, exuding a sinister aura.
That unique aura instantly reminded Li Yanchu of the old Daoist who had escaped that night.
Jin Feng growled through gritted teeth, “You again! Always ruining our plans... The sacred sect won’t spare you!”
He didn’t answer Li Yanchu directly. The gaping wound at his shoulder was racked with unbearable pain.
“The ‘sacred sect,’ huh? You rats crawling out of the gutters really love giving yourselves fancy titles,” Li Yanchu sneered coldly.
He then raised a foot and crushed Jin Feng’s severed, twitching arm beneath his heel, turning it into a bloody, mangled pulp.
With that, Jin Feng’s eyes nearly burst from their sockets with fury. He reached toward his waist and suddenly whipped out the Hellbind Ropes.
A fast and deadly yellow rope shot out like an arrow, hurtling straight toward Li Yanchu. But Li Yanchu’s figure shifted, and he sidestepped at the final instant, then slashed upward at Jin Feng’s lower leg. In an instant, the razor-sharp Jiaoslayer transformed into a streak of scarlet light as it slashed back upward.
Seeing this, Jin Feng’s pupils contracted. He hadn’t expected Li Yanchu to dodge the Hellbind Ropes, much less to still be combat-ready despite his apparent injuries.
In desperation, Jin Feng drew the bronze sword, the very one he had used to shred his master’s heart, and met the incoming saber head-on.
Clang!
