Chapter 420 – A Friend Coming From the South (2/2)

Chen Changsheng very sincerely pondered, but he still could not decide whether to leave or not.

Today's rain was somewhat chilly, and Zhu Luo's sword had been very cold, but his blood was still hot.

In the end, he made a decision.

But everybody knew that his decision and even Wang Po's decision were both completely meaningless.

For Wang Po, Chen Changsheng, and Liu Qing to force Zhu Luo to this stage was already enough to be proud of. In addition, this battle in the rain would assuredly be recorded in the history book, but they could do no more than this.

Two experts of the Divine Domain simultaneously descended upon Xunyang City.

It had already been many years since there had been a scene like this.

Many people subconsciously turned to Su Li.

Those two Divine Domain experts had specifically come for him.

Suddenly, those people that wanted to kill Su Li were filled with reverence and admiration.

In order to kill him, the demons had plotted for many years, sent out every one of their experts, and surrounded the snowy plains with innumerable soldiers.

He had been severely injured, but if the human world wanted to kill him, they also had to move two of their most powerful experts.

This sort of life was truly something to be proud of, an incredibly glorious life. It could be said to have been lived with no regrets.

All these people wanted to know what a person like Su Li would say in the final moment.

Under the watch of countless gazes, Su Li finally opened his mouth.

He looked at Zhu Luo floating in the sky and asked, ”Can you wait just a little longer?”

It seemed very much like he was acting out a comedic dialogue.

It was still a one-person comic dialogue.

Zhu Luo slightly arched his brows. ”To continue delaying even now, it's somewhat out of sorts with your identity. Could it be that the Junior Martial Uncle of Mount Li is also afraid of the sea of stars after death?”

”Correct, I am delaying.” Su Li's voice was very calm. ”From the military fort to Xunyang City, I've always been delaying, because this person lives very far away and requires a very long time to come over.”

Zhu Luo asked, ”You've always been…waiting for someone?”

Su Li replied, ”Correct.”

Zhu Luo asked, ”Not Liu Qing?”

Su Li answered, ”He's always been with me, so why would I need to wait? Moreover, I believed he had come to kill me.”

Chen Changsheng couldn't help but shoot a glance at Liu Qing, thinking to himself, just what is the relationship between Su Li and this famous assassin?

After a moment of silence, Zhu Luo inquired, ”Who are you waiting for?”

Su Li replied, ”I'm waiting for a friend.”

Zhu Luo said with derision, ”You actually have a friend?”

If this question were asked to a normal person, it would seem particularly absurd. People lived on this world eating alike the five grains, dining on fresh vegetables and ripe fruit—how could one not have a friend? Whether it was a fair-weather friend or a friend you could go to a brothel with, in brief, they were all friends. But this question was asked to Su Li, so it was not absurd.

The entire continent knew that Su Li trusted no one and had no friends.

Even Chen Changsheng knew that he had no friends.

The disciples of Mount Li were people of his sect and could even be considered his family, but they were not friends.

Wang Po was not his friend, Chen Changsheng was not his friend, and it was very obvious that Liu Qing was also not.

To be precise, this world had many people that worshiped Su Li as a person.

But there were very few people with the qualifications to be his friend.

And in Su Li's view, those people were all old things, rotted wood, old bastards—

People such as Zhu Luo, such as that Guan Xingke who was almost about to arrive.

Zhu Luo was incredibly confident that those people qualified to be Su Li's friends, who were also the only ten-odd people on the continent able to change this situation today, would absolutely not befriend Su Li.

An even colder fact was that amongst the strongest ten-odd people in the world, the majority of them were Su Li's enemies.

Zhu Luo simply didn't understand who Su Li was waiting for. If his friend was some sort of peasant, then such a friendship was the stuff of legends, and was aesthetically rather meaningful, but just what meaning could it have now?

”Even a person like you can have friends, so how can someone as outstanding as me not have friends?”

Su Li looked at Zhu Luo and said derisively, ”Idiot!”

As his words fell, the sea of stars over Xunyang City abruptly began to shake.

A dignified and pure, even holy, Qi obstructed all the pressure emanating from that sea of stars.

And then, a person from the south arrived.

The person that came was an old friend of Su Li's.

That person's white clothes floated in the air, and then instantly flew ten-odd li from the plains outside the city to within the city.

That person was a woman dressed in white ceremonial dress.

The dust of ten thousand li was all on her sleeve, her white clothes having already gradually become clean.

She rushed in front of Zhu Luo.

Zhu Luo let out a cry of extreme shock and then slashed at her!

The white-clothed woman lifted her hand, her sleeve gently waving.

With a single wave, the clouds in the sky contorted themselves.

Her pure clothes covered the moon.

The moonlight suddenly retreated.

And then Zhu Luo fell back, swiftly fell back, fell back ten-odd li until he finally heavily crashed against the city gate.

With a boom, dust was sent flying everywhere.

After Chen Changsheng had announced Su Li’s presence, the city gate of Xunyang City had always been closed.

Now, the gate to Xunyang City was finally opened.

The city gate instantly collapsed.

On the ground covered with wood and bricks, Zhu Luo kneeled down and incessantly vomited blood.

On the street, that white-clothed woman slowly withdrew her finger and turned to Su Li.

This was a woman with a very ordinary appearance. On her face, one could faintly make out the light traces of time.

Just like the faint lines on the corners of her lips.

Chen Changsheng felt that this set of white ceremonial clothes was somewhat familiar.

The crowd was so shocked that their mouths were agape and they were lost for words.

Hua Jiefu, along with the priests he had brought into Xunyang City, one by one kneeled down to pay homage, shuddering and not daring to speak.

That white-clothed woman turned a blind eye to this. She only calmly gazed at Su Li and asked with a smile, ”Just friends?”
