Chapter 407 - Daily Life in a Demon Sect (17) (1/2)
Bang!
Fu Yiyun fell and smashed onto one of the arenas, his white clothes already stained red with blood. The scent of blood in the air was cloying.
Shi Sheng gracefully landed on the arena, her skirt looking like a blooming flower. Her sword was stained with blood that trickled down and dripped onto the arena’s surface, soon forming a small puddle of blood.
“Wu Zheng…” Fu Yiyun clutched at his chest, lifting his head to look at her.
Shi Sheng’s head was slightly lowered, as if she was looking at him, but he couldn’t see himself in her eyes. It was as if she was looking at an inanimate, lifeless object.
The surroundings seemed to melt into the background, as though she was the only overlord of this world.
Fu Yiyun was shocked by this thought. He didn’t know why it had popped into his head.
“Wu Zheng, you want to make enemies with the whole pugilistic world?!” The people crowding around the base of the arena shouted in an attempt to draw her attention so that they could rescue Fu Yiyun.
Shi Sheng naturally didn’t give them a chance to. Just as that person finished shouting, her sword sank into Fu Yiyun’s chest.
She twisted her sword all the way around in his chest, causing Fu Yiyun’s face to pale. Eye-catching blood seeped through his white clothes, rapidly dying his entire chest red.
Shi Sheng yanked her sword out and was planning to stab him again, when the sound of innumerable things flying towards her from behind could be heard.
She turned and waved her sword, causing the countless tiny silver needles that had come flying at her to hit the side of the sword and clink as they fell to the ground.
But in the time it took for Shi Sheng to deal with the needles and turn back to look at the ground, Fu Yiyun had already been saved. Only the bloodstains on the ground indicated that he’d once been lying here.
Probably knowing that they couldn’t beat Shi Sheng, everyone started retreating.
Jiang Zhan watched the retreating backs of their opponents as he leaned wearily against the arena stage. His hands were already so sore that he couldn’t lift them.
“Wu Zheng, are you made of iron or something?” He turned to ask the woman standing atop the stage. She wasn’t flushed or panting, and was even standing perfectly straight, as though she wasn’t the one fighting just now.
Shi Sheng leapt off the arena stage, but her legs gave way. She swiftly used her sword as a crutch and acted like an expert. “How could these foolish mortals hope to match my level?”
Show-off Sheng had logged on.
“Cheh.” Jiang Zhan gave Shi Sheng a look of disdain before reminding her, “Let’s hurry up and leave, what if those people come back?”
Shi Sheng leaned against her sword, unmoving. ‘Yep, I exhausted myself a bit much. Gotta rest for a bit.’
Jiang Zhan had already stood up. Seeing Shi Sheng not moving, he urged, “Crazy woman, let’s go! You still wanna fight with them? I’m telling you, I don’t have the energy!”
Shi Sheng fiercely glared at him. ‘The hell are you rushing me for?’
“Would I have fought with them if it wasn’t for you?”
Jiang Zhan was stumped. Only after quite a while did he dully speak, “Difficulties should be shared!”
‘Who told you to steal my(lz) position? Besides, how was I to know that you’d pick a fight so easily?!’
Shi Sheng rested for roughly five minutes before yanking her sword out and leaving. Jiang Zhan hurriedly followed her.
After leaving Brightmoon Village, Shi Sheng picked a direction at random and set off in it.
When she came across a small stream, she stopped and jumped in, clothes and all, and rinsed herself clean. Since she’d gotten some blood on her, washing it off caused the water to turn red, though it was soon washed downstream.
After cleaning herself, she got out of the stream and used the last remnant of her inner energy to dry herself off.
Jiang Zhan squatted down next to the stream as he washed his puppy.
Shi Sheng looked at the puppy doubtfully. ‘Where’d he put it just now anyway?’
The puppy splashed around in the water, causing it to splash on Jiang Zhan’s face.
‘This idiot…’
……
That chaotic battle was later dubbed the beginning of the great turbulence of jianghu.
Shi Sheng left perfectly unharmed, while the orthodox sects lost more than half of their strength. Even Fu Yiyun had been heavily injured.
