Chapter 395 – Still Water Sword Technique! (2/2)
“Obviously to protect you.” The old woman stated. “Do you think I came out to see the snow?”
Then, her expression grew serious. “These people are skilled in sword, and the sword techniques they use can organise into formation. It should be the Still Water Sword School's 'Rain of Sword Technique'. They are the people of the Still Water Sword School.”
“Still Water Sword School?” Li Muyang had heard of this famous school of West Wind Kingdom, also knew that there were 3000 disciples in the Still Water Sword School, which include countless n.o.bles, Princesses and Princes who came to learn sword techniques in this school. Therefore, the Still Water Sword School can also be called the 'Imperial family's Sword School. Those that can mobilise the imperial family's Sword School, naturally has to be the West Wind Chu clan.
It was difficult for Li Muyang to understand why they would mobilise so many sword masters of the Still Water Sword School to a.s.sa.s.sinate him?
Even if Li Muyang's ident.i.ty had been exposed, there was still no need to cause such a big scene, right?
Li Muyang felt that the present Tiandu was extremely complicated and dangerous. It was like a huge pot filled with sulphur and black oil, and could explode with a bang at any moment.
What made Li Muyang even more troubled was that, it seemed as if he had become the flint that lights this big pot of oil.
“Quickly go.” Hong Xiu pushed Li Muyang's arm. “I'll delay time, when you have gone, I naturally will have a way to escape.”
“I'm afraid I can't go.” Li Muyang lifted his head and looked at the far corner of the eaves.
There, two robes were dancing in the gale, and the snow covered their shoulders like frost——
“Li Muyang? The Li Muyang who killed Cui Zhaoren and hid in Starry Sky Academy?” Baili Changhe's face was twisted with an astonished expression. “This boy dares to return to Tiandu? Is he not afraid of the Cui family chopping him up into minced flesh?”
“So he changed his appearance and dares not to reveal his ident.i.ty.” Mu Yubai explained out
“Change his appearance? Humph does he think there's no one in Tiandu. Tiandu is vast and the experts are numerous, can he deceive all eyes?” Baili Changhe sneered, then suddenly it dawned on him: “Master already know about his true ident.i.ty, therefore kept hidden and did not attack? You want him to expose his ident.i.ty himself? That way, it is justified to kill him because he destroyed His Majesty's entire Monitoring division?”
“What if I know? What if I don't know?” Mu Yubai glanced at Baili Changhe. “It has nothing to do with this.”
“How would it not matter?”
“If he is not Li Muyang, can we not kill him? He's just a cart driver, if he were killed, would the Lu family fight back for him? What if he is Li Muyang? The killing of Cui Zhaoren, the destruction of the Imperial Monitoring Division——If we killed him, there will be countless cheers and applause, and even the royal family will heavily reward us.””
“What does Master mean?”
“It's not what I mean, it's the meaning of that person.” Mu Yubai said aloud. “Whoever he is, that person wants him dead. So, who he is, is not a matter of importance.”
Baili Changhe's expression was serious when he said with a sneer, “this boy is unlucky. He thought that he can deceive everyone, but he did not know that he had already fallen in the eyes of a resolute person. In the heart of some important people, whether he is Li Mu or Li Muyang, he is just a weed to get rid of——It's the weed fault for being an eyesore.”
“All beings are chess pieces. Who can escape the chessboard?” Mu Yubai looked to the sky, where the hole created by the Buddha statue had healed back to its previous state. There was another whistle of cool breeze, snow fluttering down. “Except the Sun, moon and stars, what can live for eternity?”
“Why does Master sound so low spirited? It just takes a night of enlightenment to step into the Starry Sky, step into the unknown realm. s.h.i.+ne forever like the sun and the moon, and immortal with the heaven and earth.
“ I'm not in a low spirit, just that the path ahead is difficult, and makes one sigh.” Mu Yubai said in a quiet voice. “Go. Sever his head off.””
Baili Changhe was taken aback for a moment before his face lit with joy and bowed respectfully. “Yes Master.”
Baili Changhe spread out and his like body was like a giant bird spreading its wings, sweeping down to where Li Muyang was.
Hu!
As he was rapidly advancing in midair, he did not unsheathe the sword, instead abruptly brought the sword in its sheathe down in the direction of Li Muyang.
Rumble——
The sword was heavy, like a giant iron ruler across the sky.
The iron ruler was blazing with blue flames, as blue as the sky, and like the colour of the sea.
The wind penetrated into the flame, tinting the wind a blue colour.
The snow drifted into the flames and turned to blue coloured snow.
Strangely, the wind was still there, and the snow was there.
They were not incinerated nor refined by the raging flames.
The fire was a tangible fire, but a fire without temperature.
It was a fire of water!
