Chapter 704: 【533】A Marvel of the Mountain Gate! Pei, the Heaven God! (Seeking monthly tickets at month’s end)_1 Chapter 704: 【533】A Marvel of the Mountain Gate! Pei, the Heaven God! (Seeking monthly tickets at month’s end)_1 “Young Master?”
The Alien Swordsman scrambled and tumbled to appear before the corpse of Liu Jun, cradling the body and identifying it carefully, his hands shaking.
The Young Master is dead!!!
At this moment, his heart was filled with nothing but fear.
With the Young Master dead, that woman would definitely not spare him!
He… must flee!
The farther, the better!
Casting aside Xiao Yuqi and Sima Manli, he plunged directly into the jungle.
This scene had even baffled Hu Nianshan, who stared in disbelief before turning his gaze toward Xiao Yuqi.
It seemed he was dying to ask, “Your teammate has fled, aren’t you running?”
Xiao Yuqi’s complexion had already turned ashen.
Liu Jun… was actually dead.
The turn of events had surpassed his expectations.
This isn’t right!
An odd feeling suddenly emerged in Xiao Yuqi’s heart.
This feeling made him very uncomfortable.
It could be said that practically the moment he confirmed that the corpse on the ground was Liu Jun, he had already clenched the sword in his hand, warily watching his surroundings.
Although Liu Jun was dead.
But Liu Jun’s sister was still alive!
The reason he had sided with Liu’s family was because of the Liyue Sword Sect behind Liu Yingyue!
So regardless of whether Liu Jun was dead or alive, as long as he continued to push the plan and helped Liu’s family complete their setup, he would naturally still receive Liu Yingyue’s support.
In the future, he could even receive her master’s recommendation to enter the Liyue Sword Sect, which would make all his schemes worthwhile.
He dared not delay any longer.
At once, he charged forward.
With his strength, killing Hu Nianshan would not take more than three moves. He had already injured him before, and now there was no chance for him to withstand his attack.
As long as he killed Hu Nianshan and then took away Sima Manli.
His mission would be considered complete.
Even if Liu Yingyue was enraged by her brother’s death later on, he would not be implicated.
He indeed had a good plan.
Unfortunately—
“Whoosh!”
A terrifying gust of wind seemed to uproot the surrounding mountains and forests.
A hand suddenly landed on Xiao Yuqi’s head from behind, arriving abruptly as if time had frozen at that moment.
The next moment.
The Gang Wind enveloped him.
The gale howled!
Even Sima Manli, who had not panicked when pushed into a corner, was now full of shock, her eyes wide with horror as she watched the hand press down on Xiao Yuqi, who vanished before her in an instant.
The fierce wind was like a trailing wave.
The clothing of Sima Manli and Hu Nianshan fluttered loudly in the breeze.
If it weren’t for the tree trunks scattered on the ground before them, they would hardly believe that a Grandmaster had just disappeared from their sight.
It suddenly became quiet between the mountains and forests.
“Is this…” Hu Nianshan’s throat moved, “Miss, could it be that we have encountered a ghost?”
Sima Manli opened her mouth.
But before she could speak.
A loud boom echoed from afar.
“It’s you—”
Sima Manli heard the shocked and angry roar of Xiao Yuqi, a thoughtful look flashing across her brows.
“It’s you?”
She pondered over these words.
Clearly, Xiao Yuqi recognized the comer.
Who could it be?
Could it be—
While she was pondering.
Several killers from Liu’s family rushed over from all sides.
“Miss, stand behind me, I will surely protect you completely!” Hu Nianshan shouted, his hands gripping his sword, his aura ferocious.
But the next second.
It seemed as if something swiftly flashed through the void!
Like a streak of white light!
“Pffft!” “Pffft!” “Pffft!” “Pffft!”
All the killers didn’t even have time to react; their heads were left with oozing gashing wounds, and they almost simultaneously fell to the ground.
It was also at this moment.
Hu Nianshan finally saw clearly.
What had just flashed through midair was actually a sword.
He watched wide-eyed as the sword passed through the head of the last person, then soared upward, frightening him into a drastic change in complexion, as he thought the Flying Sword was going to continue and silence him too.
However, the Flying Sword flew past overhead.
He hurriedly turned to look.
But saw only that the murderous Flying Sword flew into the hands of the figure at the entrance of the mountain forest.
“Sword, Sword Immortal!!!”
Hu Nianshan’s legs went a bit soft at once.
Forcing himself to stay upright… until he saw clearly the person coming out of the shadows.
“Master Pei!!!”
Sima Manli recognized the person’s identity at once, her expression somewhat shaken.
“Master Pei?” Hu Nianshan was somewhat astonished.
Was it really Master Pei?
He stepped forward.
As he watched the figure emerge from the shadows, as the moonlight fell upon that person… like a Heaven God descended to earth, divinely inspiring nothing but reverence in his heart.
“Master Pei, just now Xiao Yuqi…” Hu Nianshan began to say something.
“It doesn’t matter, he’s already dead,” Pei Jinye said indifferently.
Just a moment ago, he had personally ended Xiao Yuqi’s life.
And devoured his memories.
It’s just a pity that Extraordinary-Human Genes don’t exist in this world.
Otherwise, his Instrument · Sword could have undergone synthesis to advance to LV6 tonight.
Though it’s a bit regrettable.
However, Xiao Yuqi still managed to surprise him.
Through his memories, he now knew that the reason this guy could break through to the Grandmaster realm was entirely because of the Liyue Sword Sect.
The Liyue Sword Sect possessed a kind of God Water that could accelerate cultivation.
They also had the Twelve Tiansword Formation, under which one could gain insight into the Sword Dao, but it was only for the use of elite warriors within the Sword Sect.
For Pei Jinye, the Twelve Tiansword Formation was secondary, the God Water that accelerated cultivation was of utmost importance.
“Dead, dead?” Hu Nianshan stammered.
His heart was already in turmoil.
So all the incidents just now were the handiwork of Master Pei?
[Hiss!]
[Just how strong is Master Pei?]
Just being able to kill Xiao Yuqi, a Grandmaster, had already impressed him immensely.
Not to mention, when Pei Jinye killed those assassins at the end, he did not even show his face; with a single flying sword, he decapitated twelve men… such a feat was comparable to that of a Sword Fairy!
Hu Nianshan now felt an urge to kowtow and beg for apprenticeship.
Pei Jinye looked towards him, passing over the sword he had snatched from Xiao Yuqi: “Your sword is broken, use this one.”
Hu Nianshan’s throat once again tightened, just as he was about to reach out to take it, but upon reflection, he hurriedly said, “No, no, no, Master Pei, you should use this sword. It would be a waste in my hands.”
“I don’t need it.”
Pei Jinye insisted on stuffing the sword into his hands.
Xiao Yuqi’s sword was decent, but it was still several grades inferior to his own.
It did not even qualify for the Sword Storage Box.
Holding it was nothing more than a piece of junk iron to him; it was better to go with the flow and help fuel someone else’s dream.
“Thank you, Elder Pei, for intervening.” Sima Manli stepped forward at this moment. Even in the night, she looked frail.
But she still braved her panic, and calmly expressed her gratitude to Pei Jinye.
Pei Jinye nodded, accepting her thanks, “Don’t worry about your brother, he has been settled by me and will be fine.”
“My brother! Thank you, Elder Pei!” Sima Manli burst into tears of joy, as her biggest worry was for Sima Yingjun.
Now hearing that he was safe,
the worried heart she bore steadied itself.
Pei Jinye looked at her, “I only ask you, do you want to strike back now, or shall I reunite you with your brother and then you leave Nan Du City forever?”
“If Elder Pei is willing to help, I would choose to strike back!” Sima Manli suddenly displayed the air of someone in charge of the Sima family.
She wasn’t foolish.
Having witnessed Pei Jinye’s strength with her own eyes, she knew that her Sima family had encountered a noble benefactor.
Before, she had only heard from Uncle Qian that Teacher Pei was very powerful.
As for how powerful, she couldn’t imagine.
But now…
she had a clear understanding.
“Good,” Pei Jinye nodded in agreement.
Considering how the Sima family had taken care of him these days, he was willing to help with this favor.
“I will handle the killing, you take care of the rest.”
Pei Jinye left her with this message.
He then extended his hand.
In the midst of Sima Manli’s puzzled gaze, Pei Jinye’s hand rested upon her shoulder.
And the moment Sima Manli’s body stiffened, her vision suddenly flashed.
By the time she got her bearings, she found herself reappearing at the Sima family estate, and the hand that had been on her shoulder had already left.
She raised her head to look.
“I’ve already informed Qian the shopkeeper, he will be here shortly.”
After dropping this remark, Pei Jinye went off to kill.
The assassins were no match for him at all.
In the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, Qian the shopkeeper flew into the Sima family residence, sighing in relief upon seeing Sima Manli: “Miss, I just heard Teacher Pei’s voice; he asked me to come back. Are you alright?”
“I’m fine,” Sima Manli shook her head.
“As for my brother… I’m sorry Miss, I couldn’t find him,” Qian the shopkeeper said with self-reproach.
“It doesn’t matter, Teacher Pei said he has taken care of my younger brother,” Sima Manli took a deep breath: “Xiao Yuqi is a traitor, he is with Liu’s family, and everything tonight was Liu’s family’s plan.”
Qian the shopkeeper was shocked.
It seems he did not expect the miss to know so much.
“It’s him… that traitor, if he dares to show up in front of me, I will cut him alive!”
“He has been killed by Teacher Pei,” Sima Manli added.
Qian the shopkeeper paused.
He looked around.
“Where is Teacher Pei? I’ll help him!”
…
In the distant forest,
Watching two people vanish right before his eyes, Hu Nianshan felt as if the worldview he had built up over the years was collapsing.
“A God Immortal?”
“He’s really a God Immortal, isn’t he?”
Saying so, he clutched the sword in his arms as if confirming that it was indeed a family heirloom.
….
The assassins of the Sima family were slaughtered by Pei Jinye.
When Qian the shopkeeper appeared,
Aside from the corpses on the ground, he found no trace of Pei Jinye.
Immediately, he was somewhat astonished and doubtful.
“Miss, how powerful is Teacher Pei, exactly?”
“Uncle Qian…” Sima Manli was still recalling the scene of herself traversing distances instantly.
“What is it, Miss?”
“Can you appear here in an instant from the south of the city?”
“I cannot…” Qian the shopkeeper shook his head, then suddenly stopped, as if he had realized something, and said with astonishment and uncertainty, “Could it be, Miss, that you’re suggesting Teacher Pei… can?!”
“He can,” Sima Manli stated unequivocally.
Qian the shopkeeper found it hard to conceive.
Sima Manli took a deep breath, “Uncle Qian, tonight is the turnabout battle for the Sima family. Liu Jun is dead, his sister should be in Nan Du City, and the only threats we have are his sister and the people from the Liyue Sword Sect. However, according to the ancient laws, Sect members cannot get involved in worldly disputes. If they dare to take action, I hope Uncle Qian can withstand the pressure and aid Elder Pei.”
“Of course.” However, Qian the shopkeeper chuckled bitterly.
A man capable of teleportation, did he really need assistance?
Just as Qian the shopkeeper wondered,
Who would believe it?
Pei Jinye, all by himself, had killed his way to the front door of Liu’s family.
And then he stepped through!
What do you think?
