Chapter 458 - Threaten the East While Striking the West (1/2)

The woman smiled sweetly. “What’s the hurry, sir? They’re nothing more than two mice now. They can escape today, but tomorrow, they’ll still be found by me, the cat. It’s merely the difference between an earlier death and a later death.”

Yin Xinghan swept this woman a glance. Seeing her was akin to seeing himself when he first arrived at the Five Continents.

Yin Xinghan warned in a soft voice, “Don’t underestimate them too much. You Ming and Yin Kongsang aren’t incompetent. If it weren’t for Lord Chuibi blocking them from coming here, you wouldn’t even have the chance to fight them directly.”

The woman’s interest was piqued, and her eyes flashed. “Yan Tianhen is the son of You Ming and King Ye, a natural half-Divine Devil. I think it’s excusable that he could escape from my hands, but who is the one who fought with me just now? I’m afraid that he must have an extremely powerful magic treasure in his hands, or else it would have been impossible for him to endure that palm strike of mine just now.”

Yin Xinghan’s eyes lowered slightly as he responded impassively, “He is Yan Tianhen’s adoptive brother in this Five Continents and is also a genius who has received Heaven’s mercy. Both the Twin Lotus Lamp and Small Mingyin flame are in his hands right now.”

The woman’s expression suddenly changed, and her willow eyebrows arched up. “It’s fine if it’s just the Twin Lotus Lamp, but how come even the Small Mingyin flame is in his hands? Why didn’t you say this earlier? You caused Laoniang to lose an opportunity!”

Yin Xinghan glanced at her. “You were the one who didn’t want to listen carefully.”

The woman narrowed her eyes and smiled lovably again. “Finding out right now still isn’t too late. They’ll become two corpses before long. Based on that meager cultivation they displayed just now, Master gave them too much face by sending both me and Lord Chuibi here.”

Yin Xinghan didn’t respond.

He knew Lin Xuanzhi’s identity, and Yan Zizhang also knew. However, it was hard to say who else knew in addition to them.

At least, from the conversation just now, Yin Xinghan could wholly infer that Yue Suhua knew nothing about Lin Xuanzhi’s identity.

Whether or not he should tell her wasn’t something that Yin Xinghan could decide, because the person who could decide this matter was still sitting on the throne of the Nine Lands’ Royal Heavenly Capital.

Thousands of miles away, the winds and clouds suddenly changed, and dark clouds covered the sky. All traces of life disappeared within a hundred miles, and the insects and birds didn’t dare to make a sound.

Two figures suddenly flashed by. One could only see the afterimages left behind in the split second. In the blink of an eye, the two people had already exchanged hundreds of blows, and that number was about to reach a thousand.

The surrounding rocks were smashed to pieces, and the mountains shook from the attacks. Destruction raged everywhere. There were many overlapping trees, all of which collapsed in rows, as though a violent storm had swept through here.

Two cold lights clashed. With a loud bang, You Ming and another young man in red stood in the clouds as they faced each other.

Lord Chuibi’s eyelids twitched, and his murderous aura intensified.

Lord Chuibi said, “This mouth of Mt. Fuyao’s Demon Venerable You Ming really makes people want to tear it up.”

“It’s not bad, not bad. Ying Chuibi, the head of the Crow Guards, makes people want to tear apart his entire face, which is much better than tearing up just the mouth.” You Ming smiled irreverently and jabbed specifically at people’s sore spots, “Don’t know if your sister has already gotten everything she could wish for and married into the Xuan family as Queen? Back then, the entire Nine Lands knew that your eldest sister wanted to marry Xuan Wushe, and Xuan Wushe has also softened with regards to her…Hehehehe, I just don’t know if Sovereign Wushe’s heart can be moved by your infatuated eldest sister after so many years.”

Strong killing intent flashed through Lord Chuibi’s eyes. Ever since he took control of the Black Crow Guards, no one had dared to insult him so blatantly for many years.

The matter between Ying Hongyi and Xuan Wushe was a humiliating piece of history that couldn’t be mentioned in the Ying family.

“There’s no need to trouble you, a wife who had fallen out of favor and been abandoned by his husband’s family like a worn-out shoe!” Lord Chuibi suddenly threw a row of thunder bombs toward You Ming’s face, sealing off all his escape routes. Clearly, he wanted to keep You Ming here.

You Ming indifferently conjured a handful of black petals and threw them around himself. The petals made contact with the explosive thunder bombs in a symphony of blasts and actually enveloped all the thunder bombs, which delayed the explosions for a few seconds. Yet when they finally exploded, all traces of You Ming had long since disappeared.

Lord Chuibi lifted up his eyelids.

All of a sudden, a sword appeared behind him and stabbed him directly through the chest.

Lord Chuibi’s body suddenly burst and scattered into many bits and pieces, which looked particularly bloody and gory.

You Ming saw a piece of wood that had been punctured by the tip of his sword and suddenly flew into a rage, sending a sweeping slash towards the ground with his sword. The entire land was lifted up and twisted into pieces.

“Puppet arts.” You Ming looked towards the south with a dark expression.

Evidently, Lord Chuibi’s attack this time was merely to sound him out, and You Ming also couldn’t turn this place into Ying Chuibi’s grave — after all, they were both great powers who had lived for many years. Even if they’d always hated each other, they didn’t necessarily intend to kill each other at any cost as soon as they met and fought. What’s more, both sides were strong enough to put up an equal fight, and it was unknown who the final winner would be.

Right at this time, Esteemed Lan Yue had already arrived here to rendezvous with You Ming.

“Lord Chuibi came.” Esteemed Lan Yue’s aura was tinged with slight murderous intent, and he said with sunken eyes, “He took elite subordinates from the Black Crow Guards and came to the Five Continents to capture Xuanzhi and Ah Hen.”
