Chapter 218 – Oriole (1/2)
In the forest, Murong Yao stood proudly with her sword pointed at Situ Rong. On the other hand, there were a few icy cold corpses by her side. These corpses naturally belonged to those disciples of the Sword Sect.
She, Murong Yao, had never been a soft-hearted and hesitant person. In the past, she hadn’t made a move against Situ Rong out of consideration for the Sword Sect’s interests. But now that Situ Rong intended to kill her, she would naturally not stubbornly adhere to the idea of taking the Sword Sect’s interests into consideration. As for their relations.h.i.+p as fellow disciples, only a person that was utterly stupid would care about such a thing at a time like this!
At this moment, Situ Rong gazed at Murong Yao with a solemn expression. He’d never imagined that after just a few rounds of collisions, the disciples of the Sword Sect by his side would have perished beneath Murong Yao’s swift attacks. Moreover, these swift attacks of Murong Yao’s caused him to feel a trace of danger as well!
But no matter what, Murong Yao had to die!
When he thought up to here, the profound energy within Situ Rong’s body started to circulate, and then a gust of violent wind appeared out of nowhere while the sword in his hand lit up. A glow flickered on the sword while he raised his right hand slightly to point the sword at Murong Yao. He said, “Murong Yao, I admit that I really underestimated you in the past. But it’s fine because you’ll definitely die today!”
Murong Yao’s brows raised as she said, “Why don’t you give it a try?”
Situ Rong’s pupils constricted, and then his figure flashed and transformed into a string of afterimages that shot explosively towards Murong Yao. When he arrived in front of Murong Yao, the sword in his hand swept swiftly towards Murong Yao’s neck.
Murong Yao’s figure suddenly bent backward as if her body had been broken into two, and she avoided Situ Rong’s attack. After that, she tapped the ground with the tip of her foot, and her figure seemed as if it was gliding as she retreated backward by over 10m.
Right when she was about to counterattack, her pupils suddenly constricted while she looked towards the distance on the right. She said, “Who is it!?”
When he heard this, Situ Rong stopped and didn’t pursue her with another attack, and then he looked towards the left.
“What acute senses!” Along with these words, a young man that wore a black robe walked out from behind a tree.
Situ Rong and Murong Yao’s expressions changed when they saw this young man because it was Li Xianjun from the Ghost Sect!
Li Xianjun gazed at Situ Rong and Murong Yao, and then he smiled and said, “What a pity. I originally intended to watch fellow disciples from the Sword Sect kill each other. Unfortunately, I was noticed. Both of you can continue. I guarantee that I won’t interfere, alright?”
“Do you think we’re idiots?” said Situ Rong in a cold voice.
Li Xianjun shook his head and said, “That’s truly a pity. Looks like I can only do it myself. Will both of you fight me together or will you come at me one by one?”
When he spoke up to here, Li Xianjun paused for a moment, and then he smiled and said, “It’s best for both of you to join forces. After I deal with both of you, I can return to the Empire, otherwise, it would be difficult for me to give the sect an explanation!”
“What arrogance!” Situ Rong said with disdain, “Li Xianjun, I originally intended to go looking for you, but I never imagined that you would come and give your life up to me. Perfect, I’ll deal with both you and this demonic woman in one go!”
When she heard Situ Rong, Murong Yao shook her head. Being ignorant wasn’t terrifying, it was terrifying when one didn’t realize one’s own ignorance, and Situ Rong was such a person.
Li Xianjun chuckled, and then he shook his head and said, “I never imagined that such a weirdo would exist in the Sword Sect. Nevermind, allow me to deal with you first!”
As soon as he finished speaking, Li Xianjun twisted his wrist, and a black sickle appeared in his grasp. The sickle was extremely long, and it was around the same length as Li Xianjun’s height. Fine threads of blood were ceaselessly flowing about on the edge of the sickle, and it was an extremely mysterious sight!
After the sickle appeared in his hand, Li Xianjun suddenly vanished on the spot, and he transformed into a black ray of light that instantly arrived in front of Situ Rong.
With a movement of his wrist, the black sickle shot towards Situ Rong’s neck in a hooking motion!
Situ Rong grunted coldly, and he utilized his sword to block the sickle. However….
Clang!
The sound of metal breaking apart resounded, and then the sickle continued towards Situ Rong’s neck without slowing down at all. Situ Rong was horrified. Fortunately, his reaction wasn’t slow, and his figure flashed swiftly. But it was still a little too late.
Hiss!
An ear carried a strand of blood with it as it flew into the air.
Li Xianjun didn’t follow up with another attack because a sword had suddenly arrived behind him. His figure spun on the spot before his wrist moved once more, and the sickle made a hooking motion towards the sword that had arrived in front of him!
