Chapter 172: Peach Forest Translator: Transn Editor: Transn

There was a garden on the outskirts of South City Its earliest oas surnamed Gui, and therefore it was known as Gui Garden

The garden took up rown full of peach trees With the cold winter still going on, the garden remained covered in thick snow, and there was still soain

There was a newly-built s the peach trees A swordsman draped in a purple cape had stayed by here for three days and nights thus far After all, the person in the grave used to guard hi wind of it, Gu Shenwei arrived at the peach garden early in the et froht about by death can only be ended by death” , Gu Shenwei thought He had felt sorry for Chu Yangjun’s death for a moment but had cast it to the back of his mind by now

“If I have two hearts, I’ll use one to reure out how to kill you But I only have one, and can’t afford to waste it on you” Leaning against a tree, Ye Silang spoke facing the grave and did not look back at the killer behind hi this affectionate yet foolish swords at a distance of ht-hand grip on the sword shaft “That would be great for you I wouldn’t kno to kill you if you have two hearts”

As if not hearing the killer’s gibe, Ye Silang continued to speak without looking back It see, and the killer’s presence was siether Before that, I had already trained under different teachers while he had never learnt kung fu, and so I made him suffer quite a bit This peach forest was his favorite place, and he would secretly coht As his swordcraft improved, there were occasions when even I became no match for him But we made it a point to come here to play whenever it was the season the peach blossoms were in full bloom Our days were spent with a lot of other people, while at night, only the two of us would sneak here Even if we couldn’t see anything, we could at least sood tiain and knew that Maid Lotus, as dressed in white and hiding on a different tree, probably thought the sa hi him not to focus all of his attention on his sword

“That shahts towards hi so nettled and often quarreled with the little fella in the rice shop Well, I would have killed that wretch if no one else did it”

“But because you were using Marquis Gao’s money, you were a little reluctant to kill hi the latter would attack first

“That’s right,real lacking about it is reat service Someone offered me a hundred thousand taels to kill you and frareed With this suht a piece of land, grow a few peach trees, and never get involved in jianghu conflicts ever again”

Ye Silang’s thoughts rerave, and there was no malice in his tone

“You’re thehly of me”

“I’m not a killer and neither is he We are swordsmen who may have killed for ’s voice suddenly becaht

“I’m a killer, and not a swords in front of an expert and waiting for him to attack”

Gu Shenas fully prepared He had previously sensed a killing intent which was filled eariness on Ye Silang’s body, but it now became aroused and fervent like a volcano which had been dor and could erupt at any time

“But why did you want to kill hi turned his body, Gu Shenas slightly shocked He looked a coer had that Godlike radiance The only distinctive features were his red eyes that exuded a fierce glare, upon seeing which even the most ferocious of wild beasts would retreat in fear

But Gu Shenas a killer and not a wild beast He had practiced Death Scripture, which taught that killing was one’s purpose, and had walked the way of “self-deconstruction”

“Because of you With him around, I wouldn’t be able to kill you, while you would be able to kill me You shouldn’t have made him obstructhie in a life-and-death battle, in which all was fair and it was either ined that the opportunity he aiting for was about to arrive He would strike back mercilessly at the swordsht, but the real slayer would be Maid Lotus atop a tree

The three swords would fly at an unbelievable pace, and the fight would end in a briefer period of time than it took for a peach blossom to fall off a branch Someone would live and someone would die The only differential depended on as that tiny, imperceptible bit faster than the other

But he rong once again Ye Silang did not attack, his hand not even reaching for his sword shaft “I said I would return you a life, and today’s the day for that I’ll spare you this tiain very soon”

Gu Shenwei did not respond to this “kind gesture” He rip on his sword shaft while Internal Breath spread throughout his whole body, and began to feel an upsurge in killing desire The greedyfresh blood

A vigilance grew in Ye Silang’s heart Without touching his sword, he ers a little and took a step back “I see that you’re well-prepared I shall have to find another time to return you a life You may attack now The person on the tree and you have one chance to kill me, and there’ll be no second chance come to the swordsain be wounded, there was no chance that two killers who had learned the swordcraft of Death Scripture would lose to a haughty swordsman

But he si elusive and unidentifiable which was exerting a weak blocking effect on hi, and it was because Chu Yangjun’s pre-death facial expression had quietly popped up in his hts

It was all the weirder because he did not get a good look at Chu Yangjun’s expression at that time He only heard a line of last words which needed no passing on

This would be a fatal error rather than a golden opportunity to kill The minor disturbance was sufficient to cause his movements to be a tad slower than usual, which could spell the difference between life and death While he wished to kill the swordsman, he did not want to suffer the same fate at this time
