”In terms of talent, perception, and tenacity, which one of me is inferior to you? But, why were you able to teach the complete Jiuzhuan Profound Technique, while I, can only train in some useless trash martial arts? ”

”Why would the old man treat you as a treasure while I am a trash that he treats as though I'm a forsaken pair of shoes?”

Clang! The young man threw his sword on the floor. Looking at her distorted face, his heart was filled with pain.

Those days when he had lived in seclusion in the mountains to practice martial arts with her, those days when they had lived like paradise, those times when they had hugged each other while watching the rain and the moon, all of a sudden, they shattered, turning into waves, constantly crashing against his exhausted body and mind.

”So all of this was just wishful thinking on my part?”

Hong Ling laughed bitterly. He could no longer suppress the salty blood energy that surged up his throat.

When the young girl saw him vomit blood, it was obvious that she was in a good mood. She covered her mouth and laughed, her expression somewhat bashful.

”Oh right, my dear junior brother, I forgot to tell you. This old man was poisoned to death by my slow poison!”

She was like a little girl who had done something wrong. She lowered her head with an apologetic expression, but Hong Ling felt waves of coldness flood into his mind. What other secrets did this woman have that she was hiding from him?

”You have to remember, the more beautiful a woman is, the easier it is to deceive her!”

The final words of his master flooded his mind once more. Tears streamed down his face as he continuously retreated, his steps unsteady.

”Master, master, open your eyes and take a look. Your disciple, your disciple … ”I know I was wrong!”

He staggered, and crashed into the guardrail on the roof. With a flash, Hong Ling had already fallen down heavily.

His ears were filled with the incessant whistling of the wind. His former favorite senior sister was holding a small jade box as she stood on top of the high guardrail. She was smiling as she watched him fall like a merciful goddess.

He smiled suddenly, lightly, and his tearful face took on a victorious air, and he knew that this woman would soon be roaring. The things in the box, hehe.

Falling heavily onto the ground, a blood-red flower instantly bloomed beneath Hong Ling, his eyes becoming even more bloodshot. He knew that because of the huge impact, the blood vessels in his eyes had already completely ruptured.

”Ah, Hong Ling, you lied to me, you little bastard. How dare you lie to me!”

A sharp female voice came from the top of the building. It was like the roar of a ghost, carrying an unbelievable tone.

Bang! Bang! Bang! The figures of over a dozen men in black landed in front of the youth. Their shiny boots shined with a black light. With a 'keng' sound, those sharp iron weapons poked out from the leather soles of their shoes.

Even though this youth was seriously injured and on the verge of death, no one dared to underestimate him.

A true expert, even if only a trace of Qi was left, would still be able to release this thread of Qi with earth-shattering power. It was like a small flame that could ignite the entire mountain's gunpowder.

Thump, thump, thump. The sound of arrogant footsteps slowly traveled to the teenager's mind. Hong Ling laid on the ground, and turned his head with difficulty.

No, to be exact, it should have been two people. Those footsteps came from his senior sister who had betrayed him.

As for the other person, one of his hands was around the girl's waist while the other was on top of the mask on his face. He was like a floating ghost from hell, graceful and silent.

”As expected of the legendary 'Jiuzhuan Profound Technique''s successor, he was poisoned and his heart was injured. Furthermore, he fell from such a high floor and actually did not die. Brother Hong Ling, your 'Jiuzhuan Profound Technique' is truly mysterious.”

Hong Ling's eyes were scarlet all over, his vision was blurry, he could not even see the figure of the person approaching, but he knew that it was the person in front of him who destroyed everything. He was like a shadow lurking behind the scenes, dragging him into a bottomless abyss step by step.

”Big Brother, with the current situation, do you still not dare to meet me while wearing your mask?”

The youth laughed bitterly as blood flowed out from his mouth once more.

When the masked man heard this, he paused for a moment. Then, he slowly took off his mask, revealing a heroic face.

”You knew it was me?”

Hong Ling laughed miserably. Other than his sworn brother, who else could it be other than those who knew of his identity and weakness.

”In this world, there is no one other than you who has the strength and boldness to scheme me to this step by step. Moreover, from Senior Sister's point of view, besides me, it is likely that only you can enter her eyes!”

Pa! Pa! Pa! The man in black lightly clapped his hands and looked at his sworn brother, who was lying in a pool of blood, with an admiring look on his face.

”As expected of my sworn brother, what a pity, but his eyes weren't good, and he followed me, such a bastard big brother!” However, if you can pass the Jiuzhuan Profound Technique to me and tell me how to use the ancestor's blood, I will leave you a complete corpse and give you a glorious funeral, how about that? ”

Hong Ling looked at his sworn brother who was slowly leaning forward, and his heart was filled with unhappiness. This person, ever since they had met, had always been plotting and scheming, and had always been quietly eroding and devouring everything that belonged to him.

Now, even the last thing his master left him, this so-called big brother, was going to take away from him. It could only be said to be a great irony, that after being in high spirits for so many years, he, Hong Ling, was actually doing it for someone else.

”Big brother, do you still remember the oath the three of us made together?” Hong Ling asked, ”We do not seek the same date to live, but rather, to die the same day!”

”We are not seeking the same date of birth, but we are seeking to die the same date of the same month? For those who violate this oath, the Heavens will be destroyed and the Earth will be destroyed? ”

The man in black laughed so hard that tears almost flowed out of his eyes.

”You actually believe these lies?”

Hong Ling blinked his eyes, then twisted his neck with great difficulty and nodded.

”Sometimes, I have no choice but to believe in fate!”
