Chapter 116 Sword Aura Can Kill
This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml
Lei Wujie turned around in astonishment. Just as he said, the sword move he just used had defeated Su Changli, but it could not have seriously injured Su Changli or taken his life. "How could it be…"
He had been wandering the martial world for a while now, and gotten involved with more than a dozen fights, both big and small, all of which pushed him to the verge of life and death. However, this was the first time he’d taken a person's life. Lei Wujie's entire body was listless, and suddenly he didn't know what to say.
At this moment, a white shadow suddenly jumped up. Mu Ying's palm was piercingly cold, and he flew straight at Lei Wujie. Lei Wujie was still dazed, and in an instant, Mu Ying had reached his chest.
"Lei Wujie!" A voice shouted angrily, but the man came faster than the sound, and the sword was even faster than the man. Three long swords shot out at Mu Ying from behind.
Snow Moon City’s Luo Mingxuan!
Mu Ying whirled around, his robe flying, and he rounded up the three swords. The cold in his hand exploded. Luo Mingxuan couldn't help but shudder, and then shouted again, "Lei Wujie! What are you doing? Pull out your sword! "
Lei Wujie finally recovered. The Heart sword in his hand vibrated with a cry, and he immediately stabbed his sword forward.
Mu Ying felt the power behind the sword, which was similar to the sword in the restaurant that day, but it was too late and he had to retreat. But the sword came at him swiftly and instantly shredded his robe to pieces. A bloody gash was cut onto his right arm, and blood spewed out. He ran his fingers lightly along his arm, freezing the wound instantly. Mu Ying looked at Lei Wujie, who had lots of advanced sword arts, as well as the group from Snow Moon City, Luo Mingxuan, Sikong Qianluo, and Xiao Se, and the four Sword Tomb sword guardians, who had all rushed to join in. Moreover, there was Li Suwang, who only showed one hand at the beginning yet was clearly more powerful than himself. He only hesitated for a moment and glanced at Mu Liangyue.
Mu Liangyue understood. She raised her long sleeves and released countless colourful butterflies into the air.
"Those are fire butterflies. Don’t let them touch you! They will spontaneously ignite if they touch your skin!" Hua Jin reminded everyone.
Everyone hurriedly lifted their swords and slashed the fire butterflies to the ground. Mu Ying and Mu Liangyue exchanged another glance, jumped, and retreated hurriedly. But Su Hongxi and Su Ziyi did not follow them to escape. Su Hongxi bent over and slowly picked up the burly Su Changli. Su Ziyi no longer showed her usual charming and coquettish smile, her purple robes flying and her aura murderous. They looked at Lei Wujie with cold eyes. "The Su House will remember this score."
Lei Wujie was expressionless, holding the sword in his hand, and did not reply.
Su Hongxi and Su Ziyi turned around and walked away step by step, as if they were not afraid of anyone coming after them.
"Lei Wujie, what's the matter with you?" Sikong Qianluo stepped forward and asked.
Xiao Se kept his hands in his sleeves and patted Lei Wujie's shoulder. "Your sword has been stained with blood for the first time. This is the real step into the martial world." After speaking, he blew a whistle and his two yebei horses ran to him from a distance. Xiao Se smiled and stroked the horse's head. "I didn’t expect you two to still be around. Let’s continue on the road then."
Lei Wujie took the lead to mount onto his horse. He slapped the horse's side, and galloped ahead.
Luo Mingxuan couldn't help cursing, "Lei Wujie, you left on your own. Do you want the three of us to ride on the same horse?" After saying that, he got on his horse and chased after Lei Wujie. “Stop right there!"
Standing in place, Xiao Se sighed and looked at Li Suwang. "The sword that Su Changli was using had been tampered with by Senior, I suppose."
Li Suwang frowned slightly and looked at Xiao Se. "Yes, I used the Four Swords of Elegance to ambush that Hidden River assassin. Although I didn't use a very powerful sword aura, it gave him an illusion. His qi was fragmented by my strike, but he couldn't feel it, so when he fought against Xiao-Jie, he mistakenly thought that he had avoided that sword move. In the end, he missed by an inch and his heart meridian snapped."
"Why did you do it?" Xiao Se said.
"Xiao-Jie is very talented, but he’s a little soft-hearted. I can feel that his sword is the sword of a gentleman, but the sword of a gentleman also needs a murderous aura. His sword seeks to win, not to survive, but the martial world is sinister. Such a sword will not live for long." Li Suwang sighed.
"I won’t kill, but they want to kill me. Whether it's the martial world or not, it’s always been so." Xiao Se walked forward. "I understand Senior’s worry. Please leave Lei Wujie to me."
Li Suwang shook his head. "If it weren't for you, I wouldn't force Xiao-Jie to do such a thing."
Xiao Se stopped suddenly. "What does Senior mean by that?"
Li Suwang asked, "What’s your name?"
Xiao Se answered without hesitation, "Xiao Se."
"Xiao Se?" Li Suwang muttered.
"Xiao Se! No matter what it was before, this is my only name from now on," Xiao Se replied firmly, and walked forward without looking back.
However, a crisp voice called him, "Xiao Se, wait a moment!"
Xiao Se turned around and saw the innocent medical girl looking at him with her wide eyes. When she saw that he’d turned around, she ran all the way to catch up, and handed him a small medicine bottle.
Xiao Se held the small medicine bottle and asked, "What’s this?"
"I know you have money. You carry the priceless Penglai Pill on you and pop it like candy, but this is different. This is the Three-Day Pill. No matter how close to death you are, if you take this Three-Day Pill, you’ll live another three days. If anything happens to you again, take this and get to me within three days and I will save you!" Hua Jin said loudly.
Xiao Se showed a rare gentle smile, and he ruffled Hua Jin's head. "Okay."
Sikong Qianluo hurriedly stepped forward and pulled Xiao Se away. "We have to go after the two of them. If not, we’re going to be walking all the way to Lei Clan Fort!"
Xiao Se nodded and looked at the people from Sword Heart Tomb. "Xiao Se is grateful to you for saving my life. If we are fated, we will meet again.”
Li Suwang looked at Xiao Se and slowly said, "This old man has a wish."
Xiao Se was taken aback, but Li Suwang suddenly bent over and knelt down. He Qu, He Cong, Wu Fa and Wu Tian, the four sword guardians, were shocked. "Old Master!"
Xiao Se was silent, looking down at Li Suwang, his expression grave.
Li Suwang said solemnly, "Six years ago, my daughter died. Now, I only hope that my grandson can return safely."
Xiao Se turned around, and after a few seconds of silence, he nodded lightly. "I understand." Then he finally moved forward, and did not turn back again.
He Qu and He Cong hurried forward to help Li Suwang up. He Qu asked in surprise, "Old Master, who is Xiao Se? Why do you kneel to him?"
Li Suwang shook his head. He didn’t know if he was replying to He Qu or talking to himself. "He said that his name is Xiao Se, and he’s no longer that person of his past. But one thing will not change. His surname is Xiao. As long as his surname is still Xiao, then those things that happen around him will never come to an end."
