Chapter 496: Dominating Armamen (1/2)

t

The chaotic battlefield was filled with ruins. Pavilions crumbled and tiles turned into trash. Blood stained the white flowers.

This used to be the number one location for romance-seekers in the world but now, it has turned into a massacre. Many beautiful women were ruthlessly killed. In the eyes of the soldiers, the order was much more important than mercy or lust.

Feiyun stood on top of a broken palace. The smoke and dust of war virtually covered him entirely but he stood there unmoving with six shiny diagrams for protection.

The world became quiet and he still didn’t move. He seemed to have turned into a statue as he focused on listening and could hear even the sound of a speck of sand being blown by the wind.

“Whoosh!” Suddenly, a sword slash cut through the sky like a lightning arc.

Feiyun spinned around and turned into a gale, allowing him to disappear from the spot to dodge the murderous slash. Furthermore, he did a full circle in the air and unleashed a saber slash with the form of a dragon and an earth-splitting power.

“Boom!” A black figure leaped out of the air, as ethereal as a ghost with ripples around him, wanting to blend back inside.

This was a genius of the assassin palace with an amazing stealthing technique.

“Still want to run?” Feiyun snorted and all 9,932 beast shadows appeared in his palm. He unleashed an attack and blew the guy flying with spewing blood.

“Boom!” Next, he stomped the guy to death. This was a powerful assassin with techniques nearly rivaling Du Shougao.

After taking care of him, Feiyun turned into a ray to chase after Ye Xiaoxiang.

It didn’t take long before he caught up to her and an old woman with only one hand. He darted through the air and appeared before the two of them and gave the old woman a cold glare.

It was Aunt Qin whose hand got severed by him a few days ago. Her wrinkly face was looking especially fierce after seeing Feiyun again. She lifted her walking stick and pointed it at Xiaoxiang’s throat like a sword.

Feiyun said sharply: “Where do you think you’re taking her?”

“Feng Feiyun, I know you’re strong but move and see if I won’t leave a hole on her neck.” The old woman’s voice was hoarse and chilling.

Several more old men came to protect her flank. These were the high elders of Beauty’s Smile who have cultivated for two to three hundred years.

One of them looked rather friendly. He was riding an armored beast and said: “Xiaoxiang, Beauty’s Smile is your home, do you actually want to see it gone?! Ask His Excellency to withdraw.”

Xiaoxiang’s dantian has been sealed by Aunt Qin so she looked especially feeble. She bit her lips and looked anxiously at Feiyun. Her eyes were full of emotions: “You came for me this time, right?”

She didn’t want to misunderstand again like last time at Supreme Beauty. She couldn’t believe he would make such a grand move just for her sake - one that would affect the entire capital.

Feiyun said: “I told Hongyan that I would bring you back safe and sound.”

She smiled wryly and nodded before forcing herself to speak: “Thank you.”

Thank you - these words represented manners and politeness. Of course, also a certain amount of distance.

True friends and lovers would never need to say “thank you” to each other.

“No need for that.” Feiyun spoke and instantly disappeared. Next, he unleashed a blade towards Aunt Qin.

She wasn’t weak and has been paying careful attention to him. The moment he slightly moved, she let go of everything and decided to kill Xiaoxiang before trying to fight Feiyun.

Alas, she was still underestimating his speed.

“Pluff!” The glint of the blade came down like a water curtain and severed Aunt Qin’s other arm. The stick fell as well, issuing a clank.

Feiyun landed next to Xiaoxiang and pulled her behind him before unleashing another energy slash to blow the old woman away. The energy annihilated her internal organs so she fell down like a dead dog, no longer moving.

Feiyun whispered: “You don’t need to be afraid of her anymore.”

The attack was simply too fast so the old men couldn’t react at all.

“Damn you!” They gathered their violet energy and unleashed purple rays at him.
