Chapter 378 Evil Fate
Five Great Mountains of Huaxia, at the foot of Mount Hua of the West Sacred Mountain.
Travelers swarmed the area, among them a man dressed in simple attire, his red long hair making his face appear exotic, a blood-red heavy sword strapped to his back!
As he made his way, people turned to look at him, unconsciously distancing themselves from him.
"Look at that, isn’t his attire weird? Is he a Taoist?" a girl curious asked her boyfriend.
"Hehe, people these days are so non-mainstream. Look at him, dressed like a hero from ancient times; he’s probably just chasing a trend, maybe doing some cosplay!" the young man chuckled.
"Haha, that’s true, you sure know a lot. And here I thought military guys were all stiff!
But this guy’s aura and look are really unique, I get scared just by looking at him!" the girl blinked her big eyes and patted her chest.
"Hehe, who says so? I’m quite versatile, you know. Soldiers have to keep up with the times and stay in touch with popular culture, right?
Let’s go, it’s rare for us to come out like this, let’s enjoy the scenery more!" The young man looked at the girl affectionately.
However, he glanced surreptitiously at the red-haired man, silently contemplating.
The girl nodded, cheerfully ran up the steps, yet her eyes unconsciously kept tracking the red-haired man’s silhouette.
The man appeared to walk leisurely, but each step he took covered several steps, yet it looked so natural that it seemed as though he had only taken one step.
Watching the red-haired man getting farther and farther, the girl suddenly looked astonished, "Look how fast he walks, we can’t even keep up!"
Seeing this, the boy was also quite surprised, "He’s an expert!"
"Let’s chase him!" The girl suddenly got excited and started running, showing no signs of fatigue; the young man reluctantly followed suit.
The red-haired man followed the man-made stone steps up to a mid-mountain viewing platform, glanced at a peak rising directly into the sky in front of him, as well as the steep cliffs below the platform.
Without a second word, he simply leaped down.
"My God, did someone just jump off the cliff?" People on the viewing platform jumped in shock and started screaming.
The girl who had just come up saw this scene, her face turned pale immediately, "He jumped off the cliff!"
She then rushed to the railing of the viewing platform, and the boy ran over too, causing many others to gather around and look down.
Had they not looked, they would have missed being utterly dumbfounded.
The sword-wielding red-haired man seemed like a peerless expert from a Jin Yong martial arts novel, speeding down the steep cliff, heading towards the solitary peak ahead, and in a blink, he turned into a tiny dot.
The girl widened her eyes, "To meet such a master just by stepping outside, we can’t miss this, Brother Qin, let’s follow him and see!"
The little miss said, and likewise leaped down, jumping down the cliff like a sparrow on the jutting rocks, chasing in the direction the red-haired man had disappeared into.
"Xiao Rou!" The boy was suddenly terrified, gazed toward the lone peak, pensive for a moment, but out of urgency, he too leapt without hesitation.
The ordinary people on the viewing platform were utterly gobsmacked, "Damn, did they just time-travel?" Discover exclusive content at NovelBin.Côm
Everyone exchanged stunned looks, as wide-eyed glances continued, but when they turned around again, there were no traces left of them.
West Sacred Mountain, Mount Hua, the solitary peak.
This was a place seldom trodden by man, labeled as a wild forbidden area by the state, a place not even the most daring adventurer would carelessly venture into!
At that time, after overcoming numerous thorny barriers, the red-haired man finally arrived at the midpoint of the solitary peak, where there were man-made stone steps leading to a mountain gate.
"Who goes there? This is the West Sacred Mountain Forbidden Area, quickly state your name!" Suddenly, two sword-bearing men appeared, their expressions sternly reprimanding.
The red-haired man glanced up at the two men, indifferently said, "Xiao Lou."
Speaking, he ignored their warnings and slowly continued up the steps.
"Xiao Lou?!" Both men looked at each other, having never heard of him.
"Halt! Which sect or clan are you from, please state clearly!" Both shouted loudly.
Seeing the red-haired man still ignoring them, they looked at each other, drew their swords, and charged towards the red-haired man, swinging their blades.
Unperturbed by their attack, the man gestured with his fingers like knives, unleashing a red Gang Qi that sent both men flying and broke their Mysterious Iron Swords in two.
The two men collapsed to the side, their guts trembling with fear. He was too strong!
The man maintained a calm demeanor as he quickly crossed the gate, and the watchmen in the mountain posts had been vigilantly observing the situation below!
Seeing that a fight had started and their own people had been knocked down, the bell in the watch post instantly started ringing ’clang, clang, clang’.
"Enemy attack, enemy attack, someone is breaking through the mountain gate..." the guard shouted loudly.
The mountain was immediately abuzz, disciples and elders alike surged forth.
By then, the man had arrived at the front gate of the main courtyard on the mountain.
"Who goes there? Daring to intrude into the gates of the Murong Clan’s mountain, you’ve got some nerve!" An elder with white eyebrows stepped forward and scolded.
At the same time, dozens of elite disciples surrounded him, each drawing their weapons, ready for a serious confrontation.
The red-haired man looked around and indifferently drew his red Heavy Sword from his back, pointing its tip downwards, and gently rested it on the stone slab in front of him.
Leaning on the hilt with one hand, he looked up at the old man who had spoken and said solemnly, "Bring Murong Zun out to see me!"
"How dare you call Venerable Elder by his name so casually, seize this man!" shouted the white-browed elder.
It had been so long since the Five Great Mountains of Huaxia had faced such provocation. Someone dared to attack the gates of the Murong Family, oblivious to death! This was an unforgivable act of contempt towards the King!
The watching disciples, upon receiving the order, hastened to form a Sword Array, launching an attack on the red-clad man with impressive coordination; in an instant, sword shadows dense like rain descended.
Seeing this, the white-browed elder nodded slightly. This was a Combined Sword Formation technique specially designed by the Murong Family; even if a Grandmaster Realm master were caught within, they would be gravely injured or killed, so formidable was its power!
The red-haired man, seeing the hundreds of sword shadows enveloping him from all directions with no escape, narrowed his eyes slightly and instantly gripped the Heavy Sword before him, fiercely drawing it and sweeping it around in a circle.
Immediately, a red Sword Light spread out, and with a ’boom’, the hundreds of sword shadows instantly dispersed.
The dozens of elite disciples surrounding him were also thrown backward by this wave of Sword Qi, each staggering with blood trickling from the corners of their mouths!
Everyone in the courtyard was shocked, a casual swing of his sword easily breaking the family’s painstakingly developed Combined Sword Formation?
The white-browed elder’s expression abruptly changed, "A Martial Saint Level powerhouse? Who exactly are you, and why do you intrude upon the Murong Clan?"
"I’ll say it again, bring Murong Zun out to meet me!" Xiao Lou remained calm.
"Audacious rogue, do you think the Murong Family has no capable people?" A commanding scolding reverberated through the courtyard, and then a white figure darted out from the hall, landing in the courtyard.
"Family Head!" The surrounding elders bowed in respect.
"Heh, Murong Bai, long time no see!" Xiao Lou saw the figure and revealed a trace of a faint smile.
"Hm?" Murong Bai’s expression violently shook.
"Xiao Lou?!"
"So you still remember me. How is Susu, is she well?" Xiao Lou said softly, yet his eyes were filled with endless longing.
"You... you’re still alive?" Murong Bai, recognizing Xiao Lou, his face drastically changed.
He couldn’t help but think of his suffering sister, truly a tragic relationship all because of this bastard. She never married in her life, and it even caused her to fall out with the old master!
"You bastard, you’ve ruined my sister’s life, insulted the honor of the Murong Family, I’ll split you in two today!" Murong Bai immediately drew his sword, and with a move, executed a Thunder Strike.
