679 If Shamelessness Were A Dao (1/2)

If Wan Lei's expression had frozen at this moment, one would see that his wide-open eyes were extremely bloodshot, staring at Chi Guyan, who was standing in front of him with her pink dress stained with blood.

Those bright eyes, perfect, exquisite features, that loft and pride which would have ruined nations. Oh, how bright she was, like the brightest stars in the universe.

It was very real.

However, he could not believe that it had been her, the Chosen One Chi Guyan, who had pierced his heart with her sword. Why? Why would she dare to kill me?!

”If you want to die, then I shall be the one to kill you!”

You shall be the one to kill me?!

Wan Lei couldn't understand, he simply could not understand.

How could she not know that she represented the Heaven Dao Pavilion? Did she not know that he was the First Disciple of the Yin Yang Hall? How dare she?!

”You… cough cough…” Wan Lei's body softened as he kneeled on the ground, but his eyes remained on Chi Guyan. ”Are you not afraid...afraid that the Yin Yang Hall looks...looks for you…”

”You don't deserve it!” Chi Guyan gazed quietly at Wan Lei, her expression as calm as a frozen lake, without a single ripple.

”Don't… don't deserve it?!” Wan Lei's eyes widened, he could not reconcile himself to it, he really could not. He had come today to the Heaven Dao Pavilion to watch a fight, not to participate in one himself.

How many months, how much work had gone into this, such that he could have achieved what he had - entering the Sage State with just a single move and becoming the First Disciple of the Yin Yang Hall.

He had a bright future ahead of him...

But now, he was going to die, die under the sword of Chi Guyan, and all because he attacked a guy who had not even entered the Heaven Dao Pavilion.

How could he reconcile this with himself?

”Ciiii!” He pulled the sword out.

Red blood gushed out from Wan Lei's heart, dripping onto the ground, dying the powdered white jade a crimson red.

Chi Guyan turned around, not even looking twice at Wan Lei. This was due to the arrogance and disdain in her heart, as she saw him as nothing more than an ant.

However, this ”ant” was a strong figure in the Sage State. He was the First Disciple of the Yin Yang Hall.

”You…” Wan Lei spit out another mouthful of blood as he looked at Chi Guyan's back view. He seemed like he had more to say, but the blood gushing out of his heart caused him to give in. He couldn't take it any longer.

”Dong!”

Wan Lei's fell to the ground, his face unwilling and shocked. He didn't want to die, he really didn't want to, but it was a fact that he had died.

Even if he was the First Disciple of the Yin Yang Hall, and a strong figure in the Sage State, a sword pierce through the heart could only mean death.

”Shh!” All the Nine Pinnacles Mountain disciples drew in their breaths.

Each of them stared at Chi Guyan, and as they saw the arrogance on her face, they felt a chill run down their spines.

She actually killed Wan Lei?!

No one had expected this. After all, as Wan Lei had said, Chi Guyan was a representative of the Heaven Dao Pavilion, and Wan Lei was the First Disciple of the Yin Yang Hall.

Why would Chi Guyan do that?

No one knew.

But the truth was that Chi Guyan had taken action, and had shown no mercy, killing him with a single pierce of the sword, not even giving a proper explanation.

Shock, silence.

None of this seemed to have any effect on Chi Guyan. All she did was slowly keep the sword, and then slowly made her way to Fang Zhengzhi's side.

She looked at Fang Zhengzhi and then quietly stood still as if nothing had happened. Calm and lofty.

As for Fang Zhengzhi, he seemed rather speechless.

Didn't she just kill-steal him? The guy had already been crippled by him, and at a vital moment, she had appeared to kill him with a single sword stroke. Was this anything to be proud of?

”Erm... I think you just stole my kill?” Fang Zhengzhi felt the need to remind Chi Guyan that this wasn't a very good habit.

”Yeah.” Chi Guyan nodded her head.

”So, shouldn't you say something?”

”What do you want me to say?”

”...” Fang Zhengzhi was once again rendered speechless.

At this moment, laughter rang out, and then Fu Xi Valley Elder Gu Yuan, who had been standing far away, walked away from the crowd and slowly made his way towards Tian Xing, his expression gloomy.

”Hahaha… Leader Tian, Chi Guyan is trying to warn others. It seems like it wouldn't be so easy to get the Thousand Years Fire Herb from this guy's body!” Gu Yuan stopped near Tian Xing.

He didn't move any nearer but had a wide smile on his face.

The Chosen One Chi Guyan naturally wouldn't do something without reason, especially something like killing the First Disciple of the Yin Yang Hall, Wan Lei.

If she had to do it...

There can only be one reason.

He had to be killed!

Tian Xing didn't speak, but his expression was terrifyingly dark.

Even Gu Yuan could see Chi Guyan's intention, so how could he not see it? It was obvious - Chi Guyan had killed Wan Lei to show her stance.

This was a very simple logic, if she had to choose between him and Wan Lei, it wouldn't be difficult.

”She killed him to warn others? Ah, so that was what she intended!”

”Sister Chi Guyan, did she use Wan Lei's death to tell Tian Xing that she's already made up her mind?”

”That's right, if we have to fight today, killing Wan Lei was obviously a good choice!”

Hearing this, the Heaven Dao Pavilion disciples quickly understood what was happening.

Although Chi Guyan never said much throughout, at this moment, everyone could feel the strength of her resolve.

If even Wan Lei could be killed, then what about the Nine Pinnacles Mountain?

Tian Xing's fists were tightly clenched. He had an agreement with Mu Qingfeng regarding the extraction of the pill; this matter had been concluded.

But now, Chi Guyan's stance was extremely clear.

Tian Xing wasn't as worried about Chi Guyan as he was about Mu Qingfeng since this affected the delicate relationship that the Nine Pinnacles Mountain and the Heaven Dao Pavilion shared.

Being Mu Qingfeng's proudest, most beloved disciple, if Chi Guyan was really in danger because of Fang Zhengzhi, would Mu Qingfeng continue to honor the pill-extracting agreement? Who knows?

Give up?

Tian Xing obviously could not give up.

But he also could not continue to fight, because, in that short fight, the Nine Pinnacles Mountain had already lost almost ten disciples, and dozens were seriously injured.

Of course, the Heaven Dao Pavilion also suffered casualties.

But compared to the Nine Pinnacles Mountain, the Heaven Dao Pavilion had suffered much fewer casualties. This was due to two reasons, one, the Heaven Dao Pavilion specialized in swordsmanship, and was better at combat than the Nine Pinnacles Mountain; two, they were at the Heaven Dao Pavilion itself - the Heaven Dao Pavilion had an advantage since they were on home ground, and had a greater number of disciples.
