Chapter 1102: Damnation, forgetting one detail (1/2)

Gu Qishao lowered his voice and asked Long Feiye, “Hey, have you ever been threatened like that before?”

How could Long Feiye ever answer him? He didn’t even answer normal questions, much less ones like these that were just asking for a spanking. He simply treated Gu Qishao as air.

“So you admit it tacitly?” Gu Qishao grinned.

It had to be said that Gu Qishao had ways of making Long Feiye talk. But instead of lowering his voice, Long Feiye simply warned in a frosty tone, “If you want to be castrated, this crown prince will help you after this is all over.”

Han Yunxi was still yelling at Bai Yanqing, so she didn’t hear, but Gu Beiyue caught every word and smiled helplessly. At a time like this, those two can still argue. Besides the princess, Gu Qishao’s probably the only person in the world who can irritate His Highness in two to three sentences.

Before Gu Qishao could reply, Han Yunxi suddenly exclaimed, “Careful, poison’s approaching!”

At the same time, a figure appeared outside the walls and soared into the air. With a flip, it unsheathed a sword and stabbed at their heads. All they could tell was that the attacker was male, wearing all black and a face mask. It was impossible to gauge his age.

The black-masked man had an insanely fast sword and used Celestial Mountain Sword Sect techniques. His battle prowess was impressive! He made no response when the group demanded his identity.

Han Yunxi and Long Feiye immediately parted off in opposite directions, each unsheathing a sword. Gu Qishao and Gu Beiyue scattered as well with their weapons drawn. Judging from the high-level Celestial Mountain sword skills, this man might very well be Bai Yanqing himself! He was the only one capable of possessing such deep inner energy and expert sword techniques. Even if Duanmu Yao recovered her martial arts and dressed up as a man to fool them, she could never reach this level!

“Bai Yanqing, you’ve finally shown yourself!” Gu Qishao said icily.

The black-robed man remained silent. His sword seemed poised to stab the center of the spot where the quartet had stood when he suddenly executed a series of flips in mid-air to land on the side!

“What, too ashamed to show your face?” Long Feiye demanded coldly.

Gu Beiyue was a little doubtful. He kept his eyes on their surroundings despite guessing the attacker was Bai Yanqing, wary of anyone else.

“Attack him together!” Gu Qishao said while brandishing the Moye sword spirit. But Han Yunxi stopped him.

“It’s a trap. He’s a Poison Corpse, not Bai Yanqing!”

Gu Qishao immediately withdrew to stand by Gu Beiyue, while Long Feiye drew closer to Han Yunxi and took her hand. Bai Yanqing’s Poison Corpse had such consummate sword skills. Just...just who was this man?

“Third Honored Elder…” Long Feiye muttered. Han Yunxi and the rest were stunned as they recalled the man.

In other words, Bai Yanqing used such a short time to change Third Honored Elder into a Poison Corpse to attack us?

“Abominable!” Han Yunxi was furious all over. If Third Honored Elder was already a Poison Corpse, that mean he was as good as dead. Now he was simply a puppet under Bai Yanqing’s control. There was no way to defeat a Poison Corpse beyond destroying its body. Third Honored Elder had helped them so much[1] but was kidnapped because of them. Now they couldn’t even promise him an intact corpse. How could their hearts take it?

Han Yunxi felt it was unbearable, much less Long Feiye, who had been taught by the elder since he was young. His sword had already taken on its owner’s rage to resonate with a clamor. Even...even the Ganjiang sword disguised on Gu Qishao’s back was beginning to tremble.

“Bai Yanqing, just what do you want to do? What enmity does my East and West Qin have with your Wind Clan? Speak!” Long Feiye said coldly.

“Hahahahaha!” Wild laughter broke around them from Bai Yanqing, but it seemed to come from all directions, making it hard to pinpoint his hiding spot. At this, the black-robed man took off his mask, revealing himself to be none other than Third Honored Elder!

“Bai Yanqing, why aren’t you coming out?! Have you already been castrated? Haha, it couldn’t have been Mu Xin who did it, right?” Gu Qishao shouted.

But Bai Yanqing was unaffected by their goading. He laughed as before, the sound resounding all around them. Han Yunxi had already shut her eyes to sense for Lil Thing’s presence. If they were close enough, she could definitely find its location.

Third Honored Elder’s gaze was flat like a walking corpse. He suddenly charged towards them. Gu Qishao and Gu Beiyue quickly got out of the way. As Celestial Mountain Sword Sect’s Third Honored Elder, they had to wait until Long Feiye gave the go to kill him. Reluctance shone in Long Feiye’s eyes, but he didn’t hesitate.

“Gu Qishao, I’ll leave it to you!” he said frostily.

Most likely, Third Honored Elder wouldn’t want to cause infighting amongst them either. Gu Qishao immediately acted and soon had vines springing up from beneath Third Honored Elder’s feet. They wrapped around his ankles, but it wasn’t so easy to tie down an expert. The corpse cut off the vines and took to the air with more flying up after him. They surrounded him on all sides, but Third Honored Elder’s sword quickly sliced them apart while passing Gu Qishao to attack Long Feiye.

Long Feiye didn’t move, but he did tell Han Yunxi in a low voice, “Yunxi, go ahead and use poison.”

Poison Corpses weren’t immune to all toxins, only most of them. It would be very simple for Han Yunxi to destroy it with one of her own. However, she was currently lost in her own world and didn’t hear Long Feiye’s words.
