Chapter 17 Bai Suyi and Shen Yeshu
Shen Tu Lie's pupils suddenly contracted, and he leaped into the air to grab the wooden box!
At that very moment, Wu Cheng made a gesture with his other hand, which was behind his back.
The bluebird moved!
She silently drew her rapier from the umbrella handle and shot out with lightning speed, leaving only a blur in everyone's sight!
Just as Shen Tu Lie's fingertips touched the wooden box, the cold sword light in Qing Que's hand was already right in front of his face!
"That little girl is asking for it!"
Shen Tu Lie roared and instead of retreating, he advanced, his serrated longsword slashing upwards!
Swords clashed, sparks flew!
A faintly visible wave of true energy rippled out, overturning all the surrounding tables and chairs!
Qingque used the momentum to flip backward, lightly touching the beam with her feet, and pounced forward again! The sword in her hand flashed straight for Shentu Lie's throat!
Shen Tu Lie was completely shocked after being forced back by this sword!
He couldn't understand how this young girl could have such profound skills!
But he reacted extremely quickly, pointing the wooden box with his long sword to a masked man in black behind him before facing Qingque again!
At the same time, Shen Yeshu, who had been cowering beside Wu Cheng, suddenly sprang up!
Her target wasn't Shen Tianba, nor anyone else; her target was Wu Cheng!
Just as she was about to grab Wu Cheng's wrist with her five fingers forming a claw, a snow-white sword light pierced in from the side and blocked her and Wu Cheng!
Forced to back down, Shen Yeshu glanced to the side.
Bai Suyi appeared beside Wu Cheng, her long sword pointing diagonally at the ground, cloud patterns flowing on its blade, gleaming with a chilling light under the candlelight.
The nonchalant smile that had always graced her face had vanished, and her starry eyes, fixed on Shen Yeshu, now held an undisguised murderous intent.
"Miss Shen." Although her face was full of murderous intent, Bai Suyi's clear voice still carried a touch of nonchalant composure, "My junior brother hasn't finished eating yet, so don't be in such a hurry to take him away~"
A flash of bloodlust crossed Shen Yeshu's slightly pale, narrow phoenix eyes.
She calmly took out a pair of silk gloves from her bosom and put them on, her voice still soft and sweet, "Fairy Bai, are you sure you want to stop me?"
Bai Suyi did not answer, but only slightly raised the tip of her long sword.
Shen Yeshu lowered his eyes slightly, and the bloody, viscous killing intent surrounding him seemed to freeze the air, making people feel dizzy.
Just as the two were facing off, the surrounding situation changed again!
"Let's do it!"
Suddenly, Shen Yeshu shouted, and the Jianghu guests who were originally guarding Shen Tianba and Wu Cheng turned around and slashed at Bai Suyi, Shen Tianba and his confidants with their weapons!
"court death!"
Shen Tianba roared, his burial robe billowing wildly as his true energy surged through it!
He casually grabbed a trusted confidant to block the swords and knives in front of him, then instantly threw his screaming subordinate aside, and then struck out with both palms, instantly sending the three people in front of him flying!
However, more attacks followed. He was hit on his left shoulder, right leg, and back at the same time, and blood immediately stained his funeral robe!
"kill!"
However, the sight of blood ignited Shen Tianba's killing intent, which intensified. With bloodshot eyes, he cleaved a thrusting iron sword in two with a single palm strike, then grabbed the top of the Iron Sword Sect disciple's head with his other hand and exerted force with his five fingers.
With a crisp crack, the disciple collapsed to the ground without even letting out a scream.
Those surrounding the attackers were so frightened by the sight that they took several steps back and dared not approach.
Shen Tianba's eyes were bloodshot as he glared fiercely at Shen Yeshu. "You lowly wench! It was you!"
"Father...no, Uncle, you don't think I know nothing, do you?"
Shen Yeshu said calmly, "Back then, after you and my parents obtained one of the keys to Sun Lang's treasure vault, you betrayed the Extinction Path and went into hiding here. You also secretly harmed my parents, hoping to monopolize the key. Unfortunately, you haven't found the second one all these years."
"Unfortunately, you don't know that I was taken in by my master when I was young, and I already knew about my background."
Shen Yeshu glanced at Bai Suyi, whose delicate brows were slightly furrowed as if she were deep in thought. "Recently, you learned that the Wentian Sect was coming to investigate clues about Sun Lang's treasure vault, so you colluded with Zangshengdao to stage a fake death to escape. Naturally, your niece could turn the tables on you... and make sure you really die here."
Bai Suying chimed in, "And I will die here too. At that time, the wrath of the Wentian Sect will only be directed at the Zangsheng Dao, and you can then return to the Mieqing Dao with the key and the Shen family's assets. It's quite a scheme indeed."
She stared intently at Shen Yeshu's face, as if trying to discern something from that beautiful face filled with a sense of brokenness.
In her past life, she and Shen Yeshu fought for decades, and in the end, they even perished together on Mount Mang...
Therefore, she can be said to know Shen Yeshu very well.
That's right, Shen Yeshu is no delicate little woman. She is the future Demon Lord who will unify the three sects and six paths of the Demonic Sect and plunge most of the world into chaos!
However, as far as she knew, Shen Yeshu should still be unaware of his own background at this time.
It was only after the Shen Family Village incident that she was found and taken away by the Sect Master of the Extinction of Emotions Sect.
Could it be that because of my rebirth, many things have changed?
Shen Yeshu's gaze toward Bai Suyi was no longer calm.
Or rather, she stopped pretending.
The overwhelming hatred in her light-colored eyes was almost tangible, making Bai Suying feel somewhat uncomfortable.
That hatred... was as if Bai Suying had caused her to become a widow.
"Since you know, then die here." Shen Yeshu raised his hand and then swung it down forcefully.
But the martial arts enthusiasts who were already under her control remained motionless.
The next moment, Bai Suyi chuckled softly, and the guests swayed, then fell to the ground bleeding from all seven orifices, and were never heard from again.
Shen Yeshu finally showed surprise on her pretty face, "Poison?"
"This poison is called 'Bone-Breaking Sorrow'." Bai Suyi smiled brightly and casually, as if she were talking about a trivial matter. "This poison is colorless and odorless, and there are no obvious signs after being poisoned, but as long as one circulates their internal energy, their blood vessels will immediately congeal and become blocked, leading to death."
Shen Yeshu lowered her eyes slightly, and the beauty mark under her left eye became even more alluring and cold. "Would a true disciple of the dignified Wentian Sect also use poison?"
Bai Suying glanced at Wu Cheng and saw that he was looking around with great interest, without any fear at all. She couldn't help but smile and said, "Of course."
The so-called righteous sword immortals had already paid off their debts in their previous lives.
Since her junior brother's death, she has been desperately searching for traces he left behind, and in doing so, she has learned a lot of his past methods.
A female sword immortal from the Wentian Sect?
Heh... my junior brother dyed it black a long time ago.
Shen Tianba burst into laughter, "You lowly wench! Too bad your cleverness has backfired!"
Shen Tu Lie laughed too, "Old Shen, let's kill these two girls and that pretty boy and then leave. If the Wentian Sect wants trouble, let them go settle accounts with the Extinction of Emotion Sect!"
Shen Yeshu sighed, rubbing her forehead. "You two idiots, stop talking! Why... do you think I don't have a backup plan?"
Shen Tianba and Shen Tulie were taken aback, then their expressions changed drastically.
The next moment, the main hall door was slammed open from the outside and crashed heavily into the walls on both sides, shattering into countless wood chips!
Then the candlelight flickered, and the temperature seemed to drop by a third!
Everyone instinctively looked over and saw a petite woman dressed in a bright red palace gown walking gracefully to Shen Yeshu's side.
The woman's palace dress trailed on the ground, and her oval face was covered by a black veil, but one could vaguely see that her face was extremely beautiful, yet she showed no warmth whatsoever.
Her long hair was not tied up in a bun, but simply draped loosely over her waist. With each step she took, the ends of her long hair swept a shallow mark across the ground.
Her crimson eyes swept indifferently over the many martial arts experts in the room, her face expressionless, as if she were watching a farce that had nothing to do with her.
But Shen Tianba and Shen Tu Lie's expressions changed drastically, and beads of sweat appeared on their foreheads.
Even Bai Suyi, who was always at ease, had a much more serious look in her eyes.
"The Lord of the Dao of Annihilation... 'Silent Yellow Springs' Scarlet Iris..."
