Chapter 359 The Final Murder Plot
Mu Yumo slowly rotated the umbrella handle, scattering the particles of fluorescent powder into a butterfly that flew up and attacked.
Jin Yu Gonggong stepped forward and reached out to grab the butterfly in his hand. He squeezed lightly and crushed it to pieces, but the pieces did not fall onto the ground. Instead, they circled around his arm and disappeared without a trace.
Mu Yumo flashed a winning smile. "If Gonggong wants to keep his life, you’d better amputate that arm."
Jin Yu Gonggong’s expression remained unperturbed as he watched the powder absorb into his skin. But, his face flushed a little, then he hiccuped, and slowly exhaled a turbid breath.
Mu Yumo stopped turning her umbrella, and raised her eyebrows. "Mild Breathing Technique."
"What paltry tricks." Jin Wei Gonggong snorted coldly.
Jin Yu Gonggong shook his head, however. "It’s a rare poison, Violet Charm. Not a paltry trick at all."
Mu Yumo tipped her toes and swept in front of Jin Yu Gonggong. She struck with her right palm, the cold aura frigid and biting.
Frosted Black Palm.
Jin Yu Gonggong immediately returned a blow with his own palm, but it brought a warm intent instead.
Mild Breathing Technique.
An extreme cold palm matched up against an extreme warm technique.
While Mu Yumo and Jin Yu Gonggong were exchanging palm strikes, she opened her umbrella again and the poisonous powder scattered to attack Jin Wei Gonggong on the other side.
However, the talisman seals on Jin Wei Gonggong’s long sword fluttered up instantly and an invisible sword aura rose, deflecting the poisonous powder back to its source. He swung his long sword and in the blink of an eye, he landed right in front of Su Muyu.
"I heard that you have a nickname called Su Shiba, because you can simultaneously control eighteen long swords. I’d love to see it." Jin Wei Gonggong brushed his fingers lightly over his blade, wiping away half of the talisman seals on the sword.
Su Muyu nodded. "Unrestrained is a shackle, killing Unfettered by hand. I, too, wish to witness how the Earthly Realm can cut open the Heavenly Realm."
Jin Wei Gonggong leaped into the air, swinging his long sword.
Su Muyu jabbed hard into the ground, plunging the tip of his umbrella into the soil. With a flick of his hand, the long sword in the handle of the umbrella fell into his grip.
"Where is your Eighteen-Blade Array?" Jin Wei Gonggong said solemnly.
"But the talismans on Gonggong’s Abyssal Eye sword have yet to be unsealed too?" Su Muyu replied.
Sitting on the eaves, Lei Wujie yawned again. His Heart sword was sitting beside him but its cry was becoming louder and louder, affected by the murderous aura of the combatants below. But, he had to remain where he was. Xiao Se told him that his job was to deal with the final killing move. This assassination plot wouldn’t be so simple. Besides the killers from Hidden River, there would definitely be a backup plan.
"But, when is this backup plan coming? That Xiao Se, he’s always acting mysterious like he knows everything." Lei Wujie said wryly, "I can only sit here watching the exciting fight below. How annoying."
He stood up and looked down from his higher position, sweeping his gaze across the entire compound. It was then that he realised outside the main gate, Lanyue Marquis’s Violent Blade had already thoroughly suppressed Xie Jiucheng. Looks like the sabre techniques of this new Head of Xie House were not up to his master, Xie Qidao. And in the courtyard, although the situation was still uncertain, the two Hidden River Heads of Houses would not be able to breach the house for a while.
Then, what could the remaining killing move be?
Hidden River Patriarch? That martial expert cultivated the Yama’s Devil Palm and was indeed an extremely dangerous opponent. But Lei Wujie could clearly sense that there was still a terrifying aura inside the White Prince Residence. The Heart sword’s vibrations were largely caused by sensing that person’s presence.
Wrath Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian. His skill level would not be inferior to that of the Hidden River Patriarch. Furthermore, the Hidden River had deceived him once, and even sent their killers to intercept him. He was incredibly angry. And the more angry he got, the more powerful his sword.
Who on earth could break through this impenetrable defence?
Lei Wujie shook his head and couldn’t help feeling that his presence here tonight was superfluous.
The backyard of the White Prince Residence.
Sikong Qianluo and Xiao Se were still sitting in the carriage with no intention of getting off.
Sikong Qianluo frowned. "What do we need to do here? Why aren’t we going in?"
Xiao Se said mildly, "We’re waiting for someone."
"Your Highness, they’re here." Steward Xu pulled open the curtain.
Xiao Se looked up ahead. Indeed, there was a carriage coming towards them, and the curtain had also been pulled open.
Red Prince Xiao Yu and the Hidden River Patriarch, Su Changhe, were sitting inside.
"I remember this person. Back then, he was going to kill you but he was stopped by that monk, Wuxin," Sikong Qianluo whispered.
"He’s the Patriarch of Hidden River," Xiao Se said.
Sikong Qianluo could feel sweat forming on her palms as she nodded. Although her skills had improved quite a lot since then, the Hidden River Patriarch was a martial expert on the same level as her father. Based on her present skill level, it was almost impossible for her to stop this opponent.
"Liu-ge." Xiao Yu grinned. "Such a peaceful and clear night for murder. What’s Liu-ge doing here?"
Xiao Se mirrored his smile. "Lao-Qi, whatever you’re here to do, I’m here to stop it."
"Ever since we were kids, you’ve always been against me. I can’t beat you at anything, but this time, you won’t win." Xiao Yu looked askance at the silent White Prince Residence. "Today, Er-ge’s eyes will not recover, and that little genius doctor you invited will not walk out of this door."
Xiao Se looked at Su Changhe who had remained silent. "Is this your final killing move? Inside, there’s a Heart sword and an Army Destroyer sword, you know? Even if the Patriarch has an unrivaled divine skill, can you be that confident?"
Xiao Yu shook his head. "Mister Su won’t be taking part today. As for the people inside, naturally, someone else will be solving that problem."
"Then, how about we gamble on this. Today, Er-ge’s eyes will recover and the little genius doctor will also be fine," Xiao Se said solemnly.
"You want to gamble? What’s your stake?" Xiao Yu smiled.
"The stake is Heavenly Revelations City," Xiao Se declared.
Xiao Yu shook his head. "This round of gambling is not that big yet. It’s merely Xiao Chong's eyes. How could that be worth Heavenly Revelations City? The game to stake Heavenly Revelations City is still to come. But, I don’t mind gaining a profit first. If I win, your Fallen Snow Villa in Heavenly Revelations City is mine."
"Back then, you wanted to compete with me, but you lost the match that day, and Father chose me. It’s just a mansion, but you still can’t let it go?" Xiao Se frowned slightly.
"Back then, I also said that you beat me this time, but one day, I will get it back." Xiao Yu's voice raised slightly. "I will get back each and everything, one bit at a time!"
"Then what if I win?" Xiao Se asked. "I’m a frequent visitor at Grand Golden Terrace. I once won a whole city from the Crown Prince of Nanjue."
Xiao Yu sneered. "You’re all talk, but nothing comes out of it. If you want a city, I can also give you one."
Xiao Se looked at Xiao Yu. "I have a friend who said he was coming to Heavenly Revelations City, and he indeed came here. But, I can’t find him. He’s a very different sort of person so it’s very odd. You and him share a special relationship so I think you have something to do with his disappearance. If I win, you tell me where he is."
Xiao Yu laughed. "Who is it? Someone whom Yong'an Prince values so much?"
"Sect Leader of Outerheaven, Ye Anshi, or rather. The monk, Wuxin, from Snowy Peak Temple."
