Book 20 - Chapter 9 – Utterly Vicious Extremely Evil (1/2)

Book 20 Chapter 9 – Utterly Vicious Extre hid on the top of an ancient towering tree, watching for any activity at the Zongguan Mansion from a distance

Fro from the Mansion, that person absolutely would not escape his sharp eyes

All the trees in the Mansion were comparably shorter than the tree he was on, they did not obstruct his line of sight at all

The search operation was still going on like wildfire, torches and lanterns projected their light to the sky, ht as day

And then silence descended, apparently their as to no avail

Kou Zhong was greatly disappointed

The reason he was so confident that Yang Xuyan was still inside the Mansion was that Yang Xuyan must be aware that he had suffered internal injury, only hewould be able to recover that quickly Therefore, reasonably speaking, he would seize this golden opportunity to attempt the assassination for the second ti hand-to-hand with Kou Zhong twice, Yang Xuyanthat within this short period of ti’s power has advanced boldly Even if he was an expert in using his weapon, it would still be difficult for him to succeed easily If it were so before he would be incapable to subdue him; the earlier the better

Even harder to co his people, hence he had no choice by to stay nicely inside the Mansion

But Kou Zhong was uan Mansion went off one by one, frohed inwardly He was about to leave, suddenly he heard a gust of wind from behind

He quickly looked back, and saw a dark shadow cae of a nearby building, darting toward his big tree

※ ※ ※

The sound of footsteps could be heard clearly, coupled with the startled bats flapping their wings All kinds of noise hit the cave wall and reverberated everywhere,could not help feeling strange, because the footsteps sounded sluggish and heavy And then he had a sudden understanding Just now these four were fighting over the fake ‘Deto yield to another, so much so that none of theht that shi+ Qingxuan was both wise and brave; planning first, execute later First she used the fake Relic to weaken the four people’s strength, and then lured them into this cave to wipe them out Worst case scenario, she would die while they perished

He was only wondering: was the ned and built by Lu Miaozi?

Sudden gust of wind; the four people appeared in the cave, leaving only a two zhang distance between the Every one of theood place Xu Ziling quickly donned the Yue Shansaid, “I have a very o, we’d better withdraw first and think of another way”

You Niaojuan, as pricking his ears to listen carefully to the enehed coldly and said, “Don’t play trick, you just want to deceive us to leave first, and then you’ll pounce back in to capture her! Hury to retort

Jin Huazhen said, “That little s1utnearby; let’s spread out to find her”

You Niaojuan hatefully said, “Don’t even think that I will believe you, this wh0r3; if you succeeded, do you think you ait for rily said, “You believe, fine, you don’t believe, fine There are danger lurking on every side in this cave, if we don’t ith a cohly without even knohat’s going on Just look at these ghost bats; they say that they are nocturnal, and now it is night, how coe here”

Ding Jiuzhong said, “Fortunately we heard the noise they made because they were startled, otherwise the little s1ut would escape from the other exits and we are still in the dark”

Before he even finished, a burst of flapping bats’ wings rose up froxuan entered just now

Instantly the four made their move; they bolted toward the cave entrance Most of the bats hanging on the cave ceiling were startled and scattered in all directions, following their circling and gliding flight path, densely packed, flying wildly around the cave, yet not two of thee colored light inside the cave, it was such an iht, and those who saw it had their hair stood on its end

Lightning fast, Xu Ziling swept out Under cover of the sound of the flapping wings, he silently launched pal at the rear Everywhere hebats indeed avoided hith and did not unleash it at once, and then when his right palm was only about three cun away from the opponent’s back, he started to violently release his true power

‘Bang!’

On the surface, his pal that even the Jade E ell aware that it was not so

When his palm was only about a cun away from the middle of this Ehtly to the left, evading the attack to the vital acupoint on his back, so that Xu Ziling’s strike fell on his right shoulder blade

Based on Xu Ziling’s current skill, because the opponent received the strike first, no matter what, the shoulder blade would have been shattered by the attack; ould have thought that the instant Xu Ziling’s palm touched his clothes, so’s entire shoulder blade, along with his arm, suddenly ‘collapsed’ into his thorax cavity, while at the sa force, which neutralizedlet out aflew backward toward Xu Ziling’s genitalia The counterattack was fierce, violent, fast and ni’s expectation

You Niaojuan and the others looked back and saw the tere already engaged in close cohed tenderly and said, “Let Da Di deal with thisforward; they was not even interested in giving the two half a glance

‘Bang!’

After wiping his cold sweat, Xu Ziling bent his knees to ht he decided to meet force with force Like a torrential flash flood his vortex of power attacked this demonic man, who had been abandoned by his companions

It was only this xuan had the intention of sacrificing herself to perish together with the enemies; because these four demonic people were indeed too for Jiuzhong was still so difficult

‘Ah!’

Ding Jiuzhong fell facedown forward, while spurting ahis own fist and kick skill could notpursued closely; the edge of his palm chopped horizontally across to strike the Zhenyao acupoint on Ding Jiuzhong’s back [Translator’s note: there are several ht not be translated properly]

Ding Jiuzhong rolled on the ground, with the intention of turning around … [again, ibberish characters] This demonic man let out a howl, his face turned blood-red, and then opening his ht toward the pit of Xu Ziling’s stoh he moved later, his attack arrived first

This was the first ti encountered such a desperate consu realized that if he was unable to deal with this situation as quickly as possible, he would not be able to help shi+ Qingxuan dealing with the other three vicious people, including You Niaojuan, whose skill was the strongest And if he dodged the attack, he would give the opponent the opportunity to take a breather and pulled his weapon, and then Xu Ziling would have to waste a lot of time to take care of him Therefore, he decided to take a risk

This ht side in an unexpectedthe tip of his toes to support his entire weight, he bent his body in bow shape When the arrow of blood flew past,his chest by only a hairbreadth, he suddenly rolled back to return to his previous offensive stance to continue his attack, only his entire body suddenly twisted down

With continuous squeaks, dozens of bats were hit by the arrow of blood; all had their bones crushed and their wings broken, and fell like rain on the cave bed

Ding Jiuzhong had never expected that the enee enerate power froround as he suddenly flipped over sideways that he was also able to evade the attack that Ding Jiuzhong was so sure would kill hiinal stance and continue the attack, so that although Ding Jiuzhong had thousands and hundreds demonic skill and secret moves, he did not have tie of Xu Ziling’s pal himself flew over hi Jiuzhong’s head crashed heavily against the ground, and he died on the spot; the emperor crown fell off his hat and rolled to the side

There is indeed only a little difference between life and death

Although the nightwalker flying over toward hi hood over his head, but even if he turned into ashes, Kou Zhong would still recognize hi Xuyan, who, everybody who heard his nae

Thisdid not have time to think whether he would be the first person ever who tried to assassinate Yang Xuyan Hurriedly he restrained everything that could incite the opponent’s alertness: stopping his breathing fro his eyes only a slit, as he watched through the gaps a the thick leaves and branches, to calculate where and when Yang Xuyan would land his feet

Because this tree was about seventeen, eighteen zhang tall, nowas, if he soared fro tall, plus he had to traverse the nearly four zhang of distance, he would have to land on a horizontal branch somewhere in the middle of the tree, and then climbed to the treetop in order to be able to observe the situation inside the Zongguan Mansion

In that split second, countless ways to launch surprise attack flashed through his mind, but in the end he decided to quietly wait for the opponent to clith fro place, to kill him while he had no tie noise, Yang Xuyan’s left hand produced an upside down sharp ahich, fast as lightning, was shooting toward the sole of his feet By the ti saw it and was shocked, the sharp aas separated from his feet by only about five chi of tree trunk, with the rope at the tail of the ahich was only a bit thicker than natural silk, coed direction; he soared at an angle toward Kou Zhong’s feet

Without even thinking, the Moon in the Well, which has been at the ready by his side, swiftly chopped down; the blade contacted the tail of the awl

‘Ding!’

As if he was struck by lightning, Yang Xuyan was hit by Kou Zhong’s spiraling energy, transht into the pit of his stomach that he spurted a mouthful of blood, and was thrown outward

The rope disintegrated into cun­-long frag was not willing to let this one-in-a-thousand golden opportunity off Abruptly raising a lided down fro Xuyan, as continuously rolling down in the air

But Yang Xuyan was indeed worthy to be called a martial art master whose name was feared all around the world When he was still about two ­zhang away froained his balance, and applied his qi to accelerate his fall, hence he dodged Kou Zhong’s saber, which ought to kill hi!’

One after another the two landed on the quiet, deserted long street by the Zongguan Mansion, while the saber and the sword collided

Yang Xuyan raised his sleeve to wipe the blood fro eyes fro’s move this time is really clever; unexpectedly this is the first ti sustain an injury in action You can be very proud of yourself!” he said hatefully

Kou Zhong giggled and said, “Yang Xiong is the extraordinary one; receiving Xiaodi’s full-strength strike, you are still able to stand as steady as Mount Tai, with no gap to be exploited But if you don’t look for a secret place that no one can find to heal your injury, quite possibly your poill be drastically reduced, and the next tiht not be as glorious”

Yang Xuyan laughed involuntarily and said, “Thank you for Kou Xiong’s concern, but Xiaodi thinks that Kou Xiong is only displaying a shado could you be willing to let this golden opportunity slip by? I have no choice but to acco, he pressed on three steps with raised sword; a thick and strong sword qi rushed forth violently

Kou Zhong did not expect that after receiving such injury, he would still be this dauntless

He wanted to gain the initiative by striking first, but inwardly he could not help praising hiain control of the situation before his injury flared out Naturally it would be ideal if he could do this in the shortest possible ti aould be relatively easier

With raised eyebrows, Kou Zhong lifted the Moon in the Well, without even blinking his tiger-eyes stared at the opponent, and he said with a cold laugh, “If Yang Xiong forced yourself to attack and suffered defeat, next year tonight will be the anniversary of your death”

Yang Xuyan replied indifferently, “Kou Xiong overestimates yourself too much”

With a low shout, his sword stabbed swiftly forward
