Chapter 508: The Strange Behavior of the Heavenly Venerate Experts
"Red Flag Escort Agency, Tie Zongbiaotou." The old monk replied calmly.
"It's me." Tie Kaicheng said, "What brings you here?"
"Tie Zongbiaotou, no need to beat around the bush." Chu Er smiled slyly, "I believe you already know who we are and what we represent."
Tie Kaicheng nodded, "Heavenly Venerates."
"Indeed!" Shan Yifei's expression turned solemn, "In this world, nature is merciless, ghosts and gods are blind, all things are powerless, the people are ignorant, life and death are unpredictable, fortune and misfortune are beyond our control, and only I stand above it all, unrivaled!"
Sun Xingyu scoffed, "Quite the bold declaration."
Even their demonic sect wouldn't dare make such a boastful claim. This local power, which had only been established for less than a decade and was entrenched in the Jiangnan region, dared to shout such a slogan?
"Are all natives of Jiangnan so arrogantly proud?" Sun Xingyu's smile was pleasant, but her tone was filled with disdain. "Xie Xiaofeng is insane, Mao Da is insane, and I think you lot are cut from the same cloth!"
"Amituofo!"
The old monk chanted the Buddhist invocation without a hint of anger. He turned to Tie Kaicheng and said, "It's a pity that Tie Zongbiaotou has ventured to Jiangnan alone instead of seeking blessings in the Central Plains."
Tie Kaicheng smiled and asked, "Is it because there's too much smoke and miasma in Jiangnan, making it prone to illness?"
Shan Yifei chuckled, "Indeed. Not just any illness, but a fatal one."
Tie Kaicheng stroked his chin, his curiosity piqued. "Is this the will of the Heavenly Venerates?"
Logically speaking, after witnessing his Triple Sword Draw technique against the Black Kill assassins, Sun Xingyu had seen it, Li Zhenzhen had witnessed it, and even if Murong Qiudi wasn't present, she should have learned about it afterward. At that point, it should have been clear that he was no longer the same as before.
Sun Xingyu and Li Zhenzhen had climbed into his bed, and Cao Hanyun and Yuan Feiyun had not reappeared, leading Tie Kaicheng to believe that Murong Qiudi had given up on targeting the Red Flag Escort Agency.
But now, why had these Heavenly Venerate experts sought him out again?
"The will of the Madame is our will." Chu Er replied coldly.
"Amituofo!" The old monk pressed his palms together, "May Tie Zongbiaotou meet his end."
Shan Yifei fixed his gaze on Tie Kaicheng, "It seems Tie Zongbiaotou is indeed fated to perish from this illness."
The three of them exuded murderous intent, locking onto Tie Kaicheng. Suddenly, a loud noise came from above.
"Boom!"
The ceiling of the main hall suddenly caved in, and along with the falling debris and dust, a figure descended, shouting loudly, and striking out with an iron palm aimed squarely at Tie Kaicheng's head.
In the next moment, Chu Er's long sword pointed at Tie Kaicheng's throat, Shan Yifei's twin swords flashed, one aiming for Tie Kaicheng's heart and the other for his abdomen. The old monk revealed his palms, one striking towards Tie Kaicheng's back, and the other aimed at Sun Xingyu.
Sun Xingyu's expression changed, and she was about to make her move.
The old monk, Chu Er, and Shan Yifei were all top-notch experts, capable of plotting against Xie Xiaofeng. But Sun Xingyu still didn't believe they posed a real threat to Tie Kaicheng.
However, the sudden intrusion from above changed the situation. The newcomer exuded a robust and seasoned aura, clearly a master of hard work. Sun Xingyu sensed that even if he wasn't as strong as the Iron Tiger that Tie Kaicheng had just slain, he wouldn't be far off.
Sun Xingyu worried that Tie Kaicheng might not be able to react in time, so she prepared to lend a hand.
"Ah!"
In this split second, everyone clearly heard Tie Kaicheng's sigh, "It seems this meal will never be eaten."
With so much debris falling from above, he was just a martial artist, not a reincarnation of a deity.
"Chok!"
The sword light soared into the sky and then bloomed like a flower, its radiance filling the entire hall.
Splendid, grand, gorgeous, dazzling...
It was like a golden lotus blooming before the Buddha, pure and sacred, yet dazzling to the eye. It evoked a sense of awe-inspiring holiness from the depths of one's heart, an irresistible urge to succumb and worship.
The sword light devoured Chu Er and Shan Yifei first, as they were the closest to Tie Kaicheng. In the blink of an eye, their throats were pierced, and they died with their minds defenseless.
The old monk's eyes were filled with fear. He channeled his inner strength and struck out, attempting to retreat, but the dazzling golden light made it almost impossible to discern the trajectory of the sword technique. By the time he realized what was happening, he felt a pain in his throat, and all his strength was drained from his body.
The last person to face the sword light was the hard-working master who had initiated the surprise attack.
Just as his sinister smile was about to fade from his face, he felt that he and the person below should swap positions.
He was just an ordinary mortal, while his opponent was the celestial being above.
This was the Heavenly Sword, a glorious sword that only a celestial being could wield!
As Tie Kaicheng sheathed his sword, the man lay quietly on the ground. A pool of blood gathered beneath his neck and chest, a testament to his demise by the sword.
Tie Kaicheng flicked his hair and dusted off his clothes, trying to get rid of the dust and dirt that had settled on them, but he still looked a bit disheveled.
However, the way Sun Xingyu looked at him was filled with awe. Deep in her eyes, there was a hint of intoxication.
"What sword technique is this?" Sun Xingyu couldn't help but ask, "I've never seen you use this sword technique before!"
"This sword technique is called Celestial Fairy," Tie Kaicheng said with a hint of regret as he glanced at the untouched dishes on the table and then at the only other survivor in the hall besides them.
"Why didn't you make a move just now?" Tie Kaicheng asked.
"So, Iron Chief has already figured it out." Bamboo Leaf Green blinked and sat up, smiling, "Because I don't want to die."
"They're all a bunch of idiots, but I've seen Iron Tiger's corpse." Bamboo Leaf Green laughed, "The existence that can kill the Thunder Tiger Lei Zhentian with one sword, how could these rotten shrimps and fish be able to plot against him?"
Tie Kaicheng looked at the hard-working master lying on the ground, "Who is this man?"
Bamboo Leaf Green immediately replied, "He is Yunzhong Diamond Cui Jifeng."
Tie Kaicheng asked, "Did the Heavenly Venerate send them to kill me?"
Bamboo Leaf Green nodded, "Yes."
Tie Kaicheng thought for a moment and continued to ask, "Did they make a move on Xie Xiaofeng just now, was that also the will of the Heavenly Venerate?"
"Yes," Bamboo Leaf Green replied.
Tie Kaicheng stroked his chin and glanced at Bamboo Leaf Green, "But you didn't make a move from start to finish."
Bamboo Leaf Green's smile was warm, "I didn't want to die yet."
"But you disobeyed the Heavenly Venerate's order. Everyone here is dead, except for you. Won't the Heavenly Venerate kill you?" Tie Kaicheng teased.
Bamboo Leaf Green's smile remained gentle, "Only the living can continue to serve the Heavenly Venerate."
