Chapter 8

Feather Coat

Shui Sheng and Hua Tiegan were expressionless, not knowing from where the blood sabre monk could unleash such remarkable martial arts

Di Yun gasped for breath as his throat was let loose He wanted to stay alive and ju was still broken and he let out an “Ayo!” before falling back down again He supported hi He saw the Blood Sabre Elder with both legs facing the sky and his head sunk inside the snow He did not understand what happened and rubbed his eyes to take a closer look All he saas that the Blood Sabre Elder was stuck head first in the snoithout the slightest trace of movement

When Di Yun ju was afraid that he would hurt her and brandished her sabre in front of her a few tiaze on him completely and watched his every move All she saas a confused expression stretched across his entire face as he scratched his head in perplexity

All of a sudden, Hua Tiegan complimented: “This little monk’s divine martial arts are ed to kill that old perverted monk with one simple kick Such a kick must have contained the power of at least a thousand pounds! This act of chivalry has really earned my utmost respect”

As Shui Sheng heard up to this point she could not bear it any nonsense, don’t you think people will feel disgusted when they hear it?”

Hua Tiegan said: “That blood sabre monk was vicious and cruel to the extrehteousness before family and rid the world of such a reatness is hard to cos of the blood sabre monk were stiff as a corpse and it was obvious that he was dead At once he began to flatter and praise Di Yun

Although his personality was somewhat shady, but in his life he had done many heroic deeds and had a sense of justice, never had he committed any act of evil Otherwise, how could he have sworn brotherhood with Lu Tianshu, Liu Chengfeng, and Shui Dai for over a dozen years? However, today he accidentally killed one of his sworn brothers Liu Chengfeng and his state of e; his normal heroic spirit disappeared in a flash Furtherreatly by the blood sabrehis many years of repressed vile and repulsive character to suddenly ee all at once In only the span of a few hours, it was as if he had become a completely different person

Di Yun said: “You said… you said I… I kicked him to death?”

Hua Tiegan said: “That is without a doubt If little s with the blood sabre and then lift him up to see if he’s really dead or not” At this point, every scheme he considered was filled with malicious intents

Di Yun gave a sideways glance at Shui Sheng Shui Sheng knew that he wanted to take the blood sabre froht Di Yun shook his head and said: “You don’t have to be scared, I won’t hurt you Just now you didn’t kill ratitude” Shui Sheng groaned but did not respond

Hua Tiegan said: “Niece Shui, you are acting incorrectly This little ratitude, you should thank him in return Earlier the old vicious monk wanted to kill you, if not for the little monk’s tenderness towards women, he would not have risked his life to save you, then hoould you still be alive?”

When Shui Sheng and Di Yun both heard hiave hi lady, when Di Yun saved her, he was only concerned about “saving an innocent life” The way Hua Tiegan spoke suggested that Di Yun actually harbouredwas already extrean’s words, it only served to reinforce her hatred towards hian or Di Yun more, she only knew that they were both crafty and evil people As she gazed upon her father’s corpse, she could not help but feel heartbroken and rushed towards the corpse and began to cry

Hua Tiegan sious name?”

Di Yun replied: “I am not a uise myself, I had no other choice”

Hua Tiegan was delighted and said: “That is wonderful So little monk is actually not… no, no! damn it! damn it! May I ask for hero’s honourable name?”

Although Shui Sheng was crying, she heard their conversation very clearly When she heard that Di Yun was actually not a monk, she became skeptical She heard Di Yun reply: “My surname is Di, I am an unknown nonentity, a person who has many times narrowly escaped from the brink of death How can you call me a hero?”

Hua Tiegan reeous, a perfect match for my talented Niece Shui Looks like I will definitely have to play matchmaker Wonderful! Wonderful! So it turns out that Hero Di is actually not a e your clothes, then there will be noyou leave a monastic order” He had already affirmed that Di Yun was a ’s beauty without even realizing it

Di Yun shook his head and replied: “Do not speak such nonsense If we can get out of this valley, I will never see you again, nor will I ever see Lady Shui again”

Hua Tiegan was stu At once he changed his attitude and laughed: “Oh, I understand I understand!”

Di Yun glared at him and asked: “You understand what?”

Hua Tiegan spoke softly: “Hero Di must be in an intimate relationshi+p with another beauty fro to take Lady Shui as your wife Hehe, you can still be man and wife for several days, why not?”

Shui Sheng found it hard to suppress her anger when she heard these words Slap! Slap Slap! Slap!She ran over to Hua Tiegan and slapped him hard on the face four tiht that all of this had nothing to do with him After a while, the Blood Sabre Elder still did not htest

Several tis with her sabre, but she did not dare to She only watched as her father liedthat she would never feel his affection ever again, and cried softly: “Daddy! Daddy!” Obviously, Shui Dai did not reply Shui Sheng’s tears dripped on the snow and ed with the snow and became ice

Because Hua Tiegan’s acupoint was not yet released, he flattered Di Yun to get on his good side The nored him and lied down on the snow to rest After Di Yun successfully interlinked his Ren and Duthrough the insides of his body Froy kept on channelling in a continuous cycle Every tiy all over his body Although he was still in great pain fro, because his internal energy increased greatly, he could repress it so and going just like that At once he lied down y automatically

Shui Sheng got up and slowly moved towards the Blood Sabre Elder and saw that the e, she brandished the sabre and sliced off his left leg A s proe was that it did not bleed at all Shui Sheng looked closely and realized that the blood had clotted to ice It turns out that the blood sabre o

Shui Sheng was both delighted and sad She held on to the blood sabre around her leg and thought: “Now that my daddy is dead, I don’t want to live anymore! Hoill this vicious little monk torture me? If he wants to violate me in any way, I will kill myself at once”

Hua Tiegan watched closely at their actions and was delighted as he thought: “Although this littleme As soon as my acupoint is unsealed, I will take his life, even that little doll Shui Sheng will be hts rushed to his head at once

After an hour or so, Di Yun realized that his flow of energy still did not stop channelling, so he began to channel his energy according to theDian At once, the uncontrollable surges of energy inside his body were now in his control, it was as easy as nodding his head or raising his hand He felt both surprised and delighted

After channelling his energy for half a day, he stood up and with the support of a talked towards the blood sabre monk He saw that his body was cos were badlyIt ithout a doubt that he was dead Di Yun thought that this person icked and evil and deserved to die, but after all he was benevolent towards him and he could not help but feel sorry So he decided to pull out his corpse and place it firh it was hasty, it could still be considered a burial place As for why the blood sabre htest clue This person’s martial arts was profound, there’s no way that he died from one simple kick

Shui Sheng watched Di Yun’s actions closely She saw several bald eagles spiralling in the sky with the intention of scavenging on her father’s corpse, so she imitated Di Yun and buried her father At first, she wanted to bury Liu Chengfeng and Lu Tianshu as well, but one died on top of a cliff and the other died on the deepest parts of the valley; she realized she was incapable of retrieving them and did not bother

Hua Tiegan said: “Little ry by now Earlier I saw there was horseit here After we eat we can coet out of here”

Di Yun knew of his personality and did not respond Hua Tiegan pleaded repeatedly but to no avail Shui Sheng said: “That s to my horse, it cannot be eaten by such a shalance at Hua Tiegan

Hua Tiegan urged: “Little monk…”

Di Yun said: “I already told you that I a me that”

Hua Tiegan said: “Right, right Hero Di Hero Di has successfully killed the blood sabre hout the world When I get out of this valley, the first thing I’ll do is announce to everyone everything that happened today: The great Hero Di dashed on bravely with no regard for his own personal safety, willing to rescue Lady Shui at any cost and killed the blood sabre monk This is an act that will be top news across the martial world”

Di Yun said: “I am a prisoner, nameless and without reputation, ould believe your words? You should really stop talking now”

Hua Tiegan said: “My humble name has a little bit of reputation in the realm If I speak out, people will believe me for sure Hero Di, ive me a piece to eat”

Di Yun becaive you horse meat? In the future you will say hoorthless I am Who do you think I aht of all the injustices and cruelty he suffered throughout the years, he could not supress his anger and resentment

Hua Tiegan did not actually want to eat the piece of horse o without food with a day or so? He was only afraid that the little evil monk would flare up and kill hi by defending He did not expect that the an to feel apologetic and lost all of his murderous intent

Di Yun saw that the sky was turning dark, the ind blowing swiftly into the valley He said to Shui Sheng: “Lady Shui, why don’t you take a rest inside the cave?”

Shui Sheng was startled and thought he harboured htly onto her blood sabre horizontally in a defensive position She shouted: “Little vicious monk, if you take another step I will kill myself!”

Di Yun stared blankly and replied: “Please do not be mistaken, hoould I harbour any evil intentions?”

Shui Sheng said: “You little er hidden in smiles You are even more vicious than the old monk I won’t fall for your tricks”

Di Yun was unwilling to think further and thought: “As soon as the sky turns bright toet out of here What Lady Shui or Hero Hua, I will never see either of theain” At once he stationed hie rock

Shui Sheng thought that the further the ht that it was a scheme and that he intended to violate her in the ht She did not dare to rest inside the cave for fear that she would not have an escape route when the htened and felt as if she was in a battlefield as she held the blood sabre firan to droop down and she reminded herself: “I can’t fall asleep, this monk is extremely vicious”

But she was both mentally and physically exhausted, how could she not sleep? Gradually, she grew hazy and drifted into a sleep

When she was conscious again she felt the brightness of earlysun irritate her eyes She woke up at once and saw that the blood sabre was no longer in her hands She became alarmed and looked around, but saw that the blood sabre re

Shui Sheng picked up the blood sabre at once She raised her head and saw that Di Yun wasin hand, slowly hted, and thanked heavens that he was going to leave

Indeed, Di Yun was trying to find a way out of the valley However, there were no paths out from the north or northeast direction, while the other three directions were surrounded by the walls of the cliff It was evident that there was no way out, there was no point in trying There was a small probability that there could be an exit in the southeast direction, but the accumulation of snoas over a hundred feet deep There would be no hope to escape until the snow begins to ins to heal He had been exhausted for over half a day, and upon staring blankly at the peaks of the valley, he felt dismayed

Hua Tiegan asked, “Hero Di, how is it?”

Di Yun shook his head and replied, “There is no way out”

Hua Tiegan thought: “You an, be compared with a little monk like you? Come afternoon when my acupoint unblocks itself, you itness htest as he said: “Don’t worry, wait until my acupoint unblocks itself, I will be able to us out of here”

Shui Sheng realized that Di Yun had never violated her in any way and her anger began to diood distance away fro a word Di Yun did not beseech her to understand hi hiet out of here sooner However, the snow covered the mountain completely and there was simply no way out He could not help but become disappointed

When afternoon cahed out loud and said: “Niece Shui, your uncle wants to eat a few pounds of your horse et out of here, I will return the favour” He got up at once and an eating it It turns out that his acupoint automatically released itself after some time

As soon as Hua Tiegan’s acupoint was released, he becaht that since the Blood Sabre Elder was already dead, even if Di Yun and Shui Sheng were to join forces to fight him, they would not be his et out of the valley as soon as possible, and when that time co Even if he were to not kill her, he would still intimate her so that she would not speak out her mind All the despicable deeds he did yesterday, how could he let it be revealed to the outside world?

He executed his lightness s He saw that the snow from the avalanche earlier sealed the valley completely If he and the other members of Luohua Liushui did not rush in before the avalanche, they would have been trapped outside with no way in At this point, all the paths out of the valley were covered by piles of snohich were over a hundred feet deep and stretched over a few kilometers wide It is possible that he could travel under the snow up to a hundred feet or so, but how could he stay under for several kilouish direction beneath the snow and he wouldof Nove of summer The valley was co to eat that will last five or six months?

Hua Tiegan returned outside the cave and his expression was extre ti slowly ahts After he finished his horse meat coon Boat Festival, we should be able to get out of here”

Di Yun and Shui Sheng were situated about three dozen feet away froh his words were quiet, they could both hear it as if it was roaring like thunder The two of thes at once and only saw that snow all around It would be difficult to find even grass or tree bark to eat Both wondered: “Hoill I last until next year?”

At this ti were heard as they soared in the air The three of the in the distance and thought: “Only if I could fly like an eagle would I be able to get out of here”

Although Shui Sheng’s horse was fat and well built, but with the three of the away every day, it would not even last a full ht days, even the head and all its intestines would be eaten away completely

Hua Tiegan, Di Yun, and Shui Sheng did not say a word to each other Occasionally, they would look at each other, but when they made eye contact, they would ian had the intention of killing Di Yun and Shui Sheng, but thought that if he were to kill the two of the all alone in the valley would be unbearable Besides, he thought that the two of them were under his control and was not in a hurry to finish them off

After so’s suspicion and resentment for Di Yun decreased substantially, and she finally went inside the cave to sleep When December came around, the temperature inside the valley was even colder than before, the north wind blew against theht and they trembled to the bone As Di Yun had completed the Heavenly Glow, he continued to practice and his internal energy would increase by a percent every day However, his clothes were thin and in this world of ice and snow, he found it difficult to endure So would look outside the cave and see hi foot inside the cave She thought that although this monk was vicious, he still had courtesy

By now, Di Yun’s various injuries had healed co was reconnected and he could ithout trouble So was fixed by the Blood Sabre Elder, and could not help but feel sad

Now that the horsefood became a serious problem In the past few days, Di Yun searched laboriously around for food which becaed to find bits and pieces The reserves of food he saved up were rudely taken away by Hua Tiegan Shui Sheng thought: “When a renowned hero faces a calamity, he stoops even lower than a little vicious monk from the Blood Sabre Clan!”

That night, on the third watch, Shui Sheng oken as she heard the sound of dispute Di Yun scolded: “You cannot touch Hero Di’s body!”

Hua Tiegan replied coldly: “In another few days, I will eat you alive! I a the dead first to allow you to live for a few more days!”

Di Yun said: “We would rather eat tree barks and grassroots than eat a person!”

Hua Tiegan scolded: “Out of my way! What does it matter to you? If you annoy me further I will kill you immediately”

Shui Sheng rushed out of the cave at once and saw that Hua Tiegan and Di Yun were standing beside her father’s corpse Shui Sheng yelled: “Don’t touchher father’s corpse was already brushed aside as Hua Tiegan grabbed Shui Dai firmly by the chest with his left hand Di Yun shouted: “Drop him now!”

Shui Sheng could only utter: “You… you…”

A flash of cold light was seen as Hua Tiegan drew his short spear fro it in front of him in an offensive position At once, he aimed to attack Di Yun’s chest This stroke was executed rey had increased substantially, his external techniques were taught by Qi Zhangfa and were nothing impressive Now that he was suddenly attacked by an expert like Hua Tiegan, how could he endure? In a moment of hesitation, the short spear had already pierced his chest Shui Sheng cried out in alarm and did not knohat to do

Hua Tiegan had intended to pierce the spear through him completely from front to back, but unexpectedly, when the tip of the spear h Nevertheless, the power of the spear was remarkable, and Di Yun fell backwards from the force of the attack He flipped over his left hand and hit the pole of the spear with his paler and thumb cracked as the spear flew out of his hand and into the distance This palan to do a somersault before he tumbled backwards The short spear was tossed into the pile of snoithout a trace

Hua Tiegan was coht: “This little monk’s martial arts is marvellous, he is not worse than the old ot up and ran away

What Hua Tiegan did not knoas that the reason his spear could not pierce through was because it was obstructed by Di Yun’s dark silkworm vest However, his stance was executed with htly When Di Yun’s air could not circulate properly he fainted on the ground If not for the fact that he had already completed the Heavenly Glow, that spear would have took his life at once Hua Tiegan’s martial arts, in comparison with Zhou Qi who also pierced Di Yun in the chest that day in Jingzhou; although Di Yun had the protection of the dark silkworm on both occasions, the difference between the power of these two attacks was over five-fold

The les saw Di Yun lying on the snow, they began to spiral around in circles When Shui Sheng saw that Di Yun lied on the snow lifelessly, she thought that he was killed by Hua Tiegan She was delighted as she thought: “The little monk is finally dead Fro an wanted to eat my daddy’s corpse and this littleto protect him But this little monk most likely harbours malicious intentions, he wants to deceive me… deceive me… hmph, I will not fall for his tricks But now that he is dead, if Hua Tiegan coht violate o so far as to… but this person is so obscene… co Ai… hopefully, this little monk is not actually dead…”

She held the blood sabre on her hands and sloalked to Di Yun She saw that he did notupward on the snow, but the htly, it was clear that he was still alive Shui Sheng was delighted; she bent down and extended her finger to his nose to check for his breath and felt two surges of blazing hot air blowing on her finger

Shui Sheng was startled and retracted her hand at once She thought that even if Di Yun was not dead, he would still have very faint breathing Hoould she know that he would exhale such hot air? She did not know that Di Yun’s internal energy was profound now; even though he was unconscious, his breathing was still strong However, as he had only recently completed such a profound internal art, he could not yet ree of hary naturally

Shui Sheng thought: “This littlebeside hiood” She turned her head and saw that Hua Tiegan atching the two of them from afar

When Hua Tiegan failed to kill Di Yun and was further attacked by his palhtened But now he saw that Di Yun was lying down on the ground motionless and did not knohether he was dead or alive After soan to ht arhtly numb and in pain, if Di Yun were to suddenly wake up he would run away at once

Shui Sheng became alarmed and shouted: “Don’t come over here!”
