Chapter 507: New Trouble Arises
Chapter 507: New Trouble Arises
"Do you think you saved my life?" Master Mao asked.
"Did I not save your life?" Tie Kaicheng retorted.
His younger brother's knife attack had been swift and sudden. Not only had Master Mao not noticed it, but even Xie Xiaofeng had failed to see it coming. If not for Tie Kaicheng shooting the chopstick in his hand, deflecting the knife, Master Mao would have been dead by now.
"If she wanted to kill me, I wouldn't have resisted," Master Mao said calmly.
Tie Kaicheng nodded, "So you won't acknowledge my lifesaving grace."
"Indeed." Master Mao replied.
Tie Kaicheng paused, then nudged his head towards Xie Xiaofeng, "What if she asks you to kill this man?"
Master Mao fell silent, then turned to Xie Xiaofeng, "She hates you."
Xie Xiaofeng nodded, "She should hate me."
Master Mao continued, "She also loves you."
Xie Xiaofeng remained silent, knowing that Murong Qiudi loved him. But was he unable to answer because he also loved Murong Qiudi?
"She wants to kill you," Master Mao said.
Xie Xiaofeng sighed. This was not unexpected, as he understood the kind of person Murong Qiudi was.
Master Mao went on, "I will never lay a hand on you."
"I know." Xie Xiaofeng sighed, for he also knew what kind of person Master Mao was.
"But I cannot refuse her either," Master Mao added.
"I understand." Xie Xiaofeng nodded.
"Thank you for forgiving me," Master Mao said with a slight smile.
Tie Kaicheng, who had been listening to their exchange, was becoming more and more incredulous. Turning to Master Mao, he said, "You don't mean to tell me that you're planning to..."
Master Mao smiled faintly, "She didn't need to go to such lengths. She is the acting head of the Murong family, and I am merely an outsider disciple of the Murong clan."
The next moment, a crimson thread appeared at the corner of Master Mao's mouth, and his gaze towards Xie Xiaofeng held a hint of entreaty, "I beg you, don't kill her."
Xie Xiaofeng lowered his head, his eyes filled with pain, and a glistening tear appeared in the corner of his eye, "I won't."
"Holy sht!"
It was rare for Tie Kaicheng to curse, but he did so now, grabbing Master Mao's wrist. With a gentle touch, he sensed the condition of his internal state.
Master Mao had actually severed his own heart meridian!
"You really don't intend to live anymore?" Tie Kaicheng exclaimed in shock.
Master Mao said indifferently, "I am a useless person. Living is a waste, so it's only right that I die."
With that, Master Mao closed his eyes and breathed his last, dying while still seated gracefully, maintaining the Murong family disciple's last bit of dignity.
Sun Xingyu was astonished, "He's really dead?"
Although Master Mao had only made one move, any insider could discern his martial arts skill. Sun Xingyu felt that even if Master Mao was not as good as Tie Hu, he could still put up a fight against the weakest of the Magic Sect's Four Elders, Tie Yan.
Such a formidable figure had simply committed suicide?
Sun Xingyu was not only surprised but also felt a hint of fear in her heart. Just who was Murong Qiudi to make such a highly skilled master willingly take his own life?
"He's dead," Tie Kaicheng nodded, also somewhat surprised. He had saved Master Mao, and had been curious to see what choices he would make in the subsequent plot, but now he had taken his own life without hesitation.
A flash of sadness appeared in Chou Er's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Big brother, why did you have to do this?"
As he spoke, he moved towards Master Mao's corpse, intending to take him away.
It was only at this moment that the big boss, who had a weak presence all this time, reacted and hastily tried to stop him, "Please wait, Second Master."
As he finished speaking, Chou Er did indeed pause, but it was not because of the big boss. It was because of another person who had entered the courtyard.
"Tap! Tap! Tap!"
The sound resembled that of a cane, but it was not a cane.
Despite being the one who had scared off Mr. Chou Er, he didn't spare the man a glance, instead coldly surveying the room. "Who is the master of this house?"
The big boss, a mix of apprehension and anticipation, replied, "I am."
The one-armed man nodded and said arrogantly, "It's rude of the host to not even provide a seat for a guest who has come from afar."
Sun Xingyu asked Iron Kaicheng, "Who is he? Why is he so proud?"
"He is Single Fly with Two Swallows, ranked third among the Top Ten Swordsmen of Jiangnan," Iron Kaicheng replied.
Single Fly, whose name was Dan Yifei, looked at Iron Kaicheng, "I didn't expect someone here to know me."
Iron Kaicheng responded indifferently, "You're not hard to recognize."
"Since you know who I am, you should know why I'm here today." Dan Yifei turned his gaze to Chou Er.
As Dan Yifei finished speaking, three more people walked into the courtyard with calm and measured steps.
They were Lu Kuzhu, the Bamboo Sword Master; Soul Searcher, the Rich and Noble Immortal; and an old monk who resembled an ascetic.
Both Dan Yifei and Lu Kuzhu were among the Top Ten Famous Swordsmen of Jiangnan, and their presence here could only mean one thing: they had come to kill Chou Er, one of the Seven Famous Swordsmen of Jiangnan.
Just as the big boss let out a sigh of relief, Chou Er and Dan Yifei simultaneously struck, their swords piercing the big boss's chest.
The big boss died with his eyes wide open, unable to accept his fate!
In fact, his martial arts skills were not weak. Even if Chou Er wanted to kill him, it wouldn't have been as easy as it seemed. If he had been given the chance to move away and call for help, dozens or even hundreds of his underlings would have rushed to his aid.
But he never expected that Chou Er, with whom he already had a grudge, and Dan Yifei would join forces against him, leading to his swift demise.
At the same time, the old monk knocked down Bamboo Green, while Lu Kuzhu and Soul Searcher attacked the underlings. Chou Er and Dan Yifei, fresh from killing the big boss, joined the fray.
This sudden turn of events shocked everyone.
But Xie Xiaofeng was the quickest to react, rescuing the underlings in the blink of an eye.
Here is the rewritten text with the requested changes:
Although everyone had already guessed his identity, this was the first time he had acknowledged it himself.
Next, Soul Searcher instructed the underlings to thank Xie Xiaofeng for saving their lives, but instead, the underling acupunctured Xie Xiaofeng, and the rest of the group seized the opportunity to strike, severely injuring him.
Just as Xie Xiaofeng resigned himself to death, the underling released him and even took a sword strike for him.
In the next moment, Xie Xiaofeng seized the sword, killed Lu Kuzhu, incapacitated Soul Searcher, sent the underling out the front door, and then retreated while heavily wounded.
Iron Kaicheng never made a move throughout the entire incident, and Xie Xiaofeng never sought his help.
Iron Kaicheng wanted to see Xie Xiaofeng suffer, and Xie Xiaofeng was not one to place his hopes in others, especially since he and Iron Kaicheng were not friends.
However, this series of unexpected events left Sun Xingyu stunned, her mind feeling fried. She couldn't help but ask Iron Kaicheng, "What is going on?"
But before Iron Kaicheng could answer, the old monk, Chou Er, and Dan Yifei surrounded him.
