Chapter 592: Chapter 592: Hu Xuesha, Second-Class Guard of the Qingqiu Fox Country, Pays Respect to the Superior! (Third Update)
The sword attack was too swift.
Mu Qingwan had no time to react and could only watch helplessly as the sword light rushed towards her.
But just then, someone shouted loudly, “Take this magic artifact!”
With those words, a streak of black light flew diagonally and struck Xue Sha squarely on the shoulder.
Xue Sha felt a shudder in his shoulder and the sword light slowed by a third.
Mu Qingwan then seized the opportunity to quickly retreat backward, narrowly avoiding the attack.
Xue Sha looked down and realized that the so-called magic artifact was nothing but a broken brick. He couldn’t contain his annoyance and coldly barked, “Who dares to interfere with my affairs!”
Saying this, he turned around, preparing to strike with his sword.
But just as he turned, Huyue had arrived behind him at some point and raised the brick in his hand, ready to bring it down.
The two made eye contact.
Xue Sha shivered all over, “Great…”
Huyue’s face was stern as water, “Your mom, it’s actually you!”
As he spoke, he brought the brick crashing down on Xue Sha’s head. @@novelbin@@
Xue Sha did not dare to move, allowing the blood to drip from his forehead.
Such a scene naturally astonished both Mu Qingwan and Ah Bao.
“What is going on here?” Mu Qingwan asked coldly.
“Nothing much, this was just a subordinate of mine! Aren’t you going to kneel and apologize?” Huyue glared threateningly.
Xue Sha immediately knelt respectfully, “Miss Qing Wan, I didn’t realize you were the great one’s friend. I have offended you greatly; please forgive me!”
Mu Qingwan’s expression turned somewhat ugly. She had just barely escaped death at the hands of this man, and now he was claiming to be Huyue’s subordinate?
What on earth was going on?
Seeing her reaction, Huyue let out a slight sigh, “Miss Qing Wan, this matter is somewhat complicated to explain, but I can assure you I harbor no ill intentions towards you! If I truly wanted to kill you, I wouldn’t have intervened just now!”
Mu Qingwan, recalling the sword attack from before, knew that Huyue was right.
If he hadn’t acted in time, she would have already fallen to the sword.
Mu Qingwan took a deep breath and then nodded, “Alright, this time I will trust you!”
Huyue slightly smiled, then turned to Xue Sha who was kneeling on the ground and coldly commanded, “Follow me!”
After Huyue and Xue Sha left,
Ah Bao, still shaken, came over, “Sister Qing Wan, are you alright?”
Mu Qingwan shook her head and looked at the doors and windows shredded by the sword light, her gaze flickering, “Ah Bao, do you think Huyue is telling the truth?”
Ah Bao hesitated for a moment, then nodded slightly, “Sister Qing Wan, although Huyue is lazy and lacks abilities, I don’t think he’s a bad person!”
Mu Qingwan turned to look at Ah Bao and then burst into laughter, “Could it be that our Miss Ah Bao has taken a liking to Huyue?”
At those words, Ah Bao couldn’t help but pout in irritation, “Ah, Sister Qing Wan, don’t tease me. He’s a fox, and I’m human; how can that be possible!”
“Why not? Hehe, it looks like someone has sprung into love!” Mu Qingwan teased a few times, making Ah Bao’s cheeks turn red with embarrassment, and she quickly ran back to her own room to sleep.
Left alone, Mu Qingwan silently watched the night outside, her expression becoming pensive.
“What kind of person, or perhaps demon, are you? Why does a top assassin become so respectful upon encountering you?”
Mu Qingwan was filled with doubts.
Meanwhile, Huyue had already led Xue Sha back to his own room.
When the room door closed.
Hu Xuesha immediately kneeled on the ground with great respect, “Hu Xuesha, a second-class guard from Qingqiu Fox Country, pays respects to Master Huyue.”
Huyue’s expression was as still as water as he stood in front of the kneeling Hu Xuesha, lost in thought. After a while, he finally spoke indifferently.
“How did you come to be in this world? And who sent you?”
Hu Xuesha replied respectfully, “To answer Master’s question, I am here under the command of the Great Elder to search The Multiverse Worlds for the whereabouts of Princess Hu Ying and yourself!”
“The Great Elder….” Huyue murmured to himself, his expression becoming somewhat odd.
At this moment, Hu Xuesha continued, “It’s not just me, but over a thousand guards have been dispatched to seek the whereabouts of the princess and you. As for why I came to this world….”
Hu Xuesha said with a wry smile, “Over a year ago, I accidentally cut the root of an Elf mother tree in a secret realm, and then I found myself bafflingly teleported to this place. When I tried to leave, I found that I couldn’t escape no matter what! Even the Multiverse Travel Order given to us by the Great Elder became ineffective.”
Upon hearing this, Huyue let out a cold laugh, “Of course you couldn’t leave, this is a very special secret realm! The Multiverse Travel Order is completely useless here!”
“So that’s how it is!” Hu Xuesha nodded in acknowledgement.
Then Huyue said in a cold voice, “Now I ask you, why did you become an assassin?”
Hu Xuesha showed a look of embarrassment, “To answer Master, I chanced upon this place recently. In the pleasure district of the city, I met a fox woman, and we became fond of each other, but… I was short of money….”
“So you took money to kill for others?” Huyue’s eyes blazed with a cold light.
Hu Xuesha trembled and knocked his head on the ground several times, “Master, Xuesha knows his mistake!”
“Hmph, a second-class guard of the reputable Qingqiu Fox Country actually stooping to kill for some trifling gains! I will settle this account with you once I return!”
Hu Xuesha didn’t dare to resist and knelt on the ground, sweating profusely, “Understood!”
“Enough, stand up!” Huyue said indifferently.
Hu Xuesha stood up, respectfully saying, “Master, why are you also in this secret realm? And your cultivation level….”
Huyue stood with his hands behind his back, “I am here to secure the fortune for the next calamity for the Fox Country. As for my cultivation level, it has been restricted by the rules of this place! Oh, your cultivation level seems to have suffered little restriction though!”
Hu Xuesha nodded earnestly and replied, “It has been weakened by about ninety percent, leaving only ten percent.”
Huyue nodded, “Having ten percent isn’t bad! It’s enough to protect yourself in this world!”
Then he said coldly, “The one who sent you to kill Mu Qingwan, do you know what you need to do now?”
Hu Xuesha nodded, “I understand!”
“Good, then go now!”
“Yes!”
Hu Xuesha leapt away and disappeared into the night.
Huyue stood by the window, murmuring indifferently, “It’s not strange for the Great Elder to be searching for Ying’er, but why search for me? What’s going on? Sigh, just thinking about returning to Fox Country gives me a headache!”
Meanwhile, at the Tiger Head Gang.
Tong Bao and the weasel were still waiting for good news.
So when Hu Xuesha suddenly appeared, the two demons were completely unprepared.
“You….”
The weasel had just uttered a word when Hu Xuesha swept across with his sword, severing his head.
Tong Bao was terribly frightened, “What’s going on? Why are you attacking and killing us?”
Hu Xuesha replied coldly, “To think that I was ordered to harm a friend of the master, you deserve nothing but death!”
“Master?” Tong Bao was still pondering who this master was when he too had his head chopped off by Hu Xuesha.
But what Hu Xuesha didn’t know was that after he left with the heads of the two demons, a sphere of light emerged from Tong Bao’s body, flying towards the north, and in the blink of an eye, it had vanished without a trace.
What do you think?
