Chapter 98 Knife!
Chapter 98 Knife!
"Light of sunset!"
Gu Qianbei's pupils contracted, and the Stop Cup Sword immediately emitted a crimson light, transforming into a shield that blocked in front of him.
The sword energy arrived in an instant!
The five afterimages were all shattered, and the sword energy landed on the crimson shield light!
The expected loud noise did not occur; instead, the crimson shield light was cut to its limit by the sword energy, as if it were made of rubber.
The originally swift sword energy slowed down under the intervention of the crimson shield light.
But when the sword energy was only an inch away from Gu Qianbei's chest, the crimson shield light could no longer withstand it and shattered like a bubble.
"not good!"
Gu Qianbei cried out in alarm as a golden light flashed past in front of him.
clang!
A crisp sound.
Gu Qianbei was sent flying by the sword energy!
"Brother Gu!"
Haitang exclaimed in surprise.
Gui Haiyidao finally arrived at this moment, pressing down on Gu Qianbei's back to help him steady himself.
A moment later, Haitang also arrived.
A blood-red sword mark appeared on the blue robe in front of Gu Qianbei, and blood was seeping from it.
"It's okay, I won't die. Luckily, I'm thick-skinned."
Gu Qianbei steadied himself and looked at Guihai Yidao behind him.
"Thanks, Brother Guihai. Otherwise, that fall might have hurt a bit."
"Need not."
Gui Haiyi gave a cold reply, but his gaze was fixed on the departing Cao Shaoqin and his two companions.
With the departure of Cao Shaoqin and his two companions, the battle situation became completely clear.
Apart from the escaped magician, almost the entire Black Stone organization was wiped out, with only Ye Zhanqing remaining alive.
But she was already trembling with fear and didn't even dare to run away.
Because she sensed that Guihai Yidao's killing intent was locking onto her, if she dared to move, she would be facing an incomparably domineering blade aura.
Seeing that Gu Qianbei was alright, Haitang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Aren't we going to chase after them?"
Gu Qianbei watched Cao Shaoqin and the other two flee and couldn't help but ask.
"There's no need. The man in black who was just fighting with Yidao should be Cao Shaoqin, the deputy director of the Eastern Depot. If he wants to leave, we can't stop him."
His killing of King Yama indicates that the Eastern Depot has abandoned the Black Stone Organization.
Soon, the remaining forces of the Black Stone organization will be recovered by the Eastern Depot and buried deep underground.
Unexpectedly, the Eastern Depot was fully aware of our actions and launched a swift and decisive attack at the most critical moment.
We were careless.
Haitang's eyes were filled with seriousness, clearly indicating that she was not satisfied with the results of tonight's battle.
With the death of King Wheel, the evidence linking the Eastern Depot and Black Stone disappeared.
It's no longer possible to use the Black Stone organization to severely damage the Eastern Depot.
Most importantly, Rama's remains were not recovered.
Gu Qianbei was somewhat surprised to hear this, not expecting that the man in black was actually Cao Shaoqin.
That's a ruthless person.
No wonder that sword strike was so powerful.
I deserve to suffer this injury.
However, it seems that this has caused quite a bit of trouble.
Guihai Yidao sheathed his longsword and looked at the trembling Ye Zhanqing.
"There's still one witness. Take him back for questioning. If you can't get anything out of him, kill him."
Gui Haiyi's cold words shattered Ye Zhanqing's last glimmer of hope, and she immediately knelt on the ground.
"Sir! I know where Rama's remains are! Please spare my life!"
These words immediately caught the attention of Guihai Yidao and Haitang.
"If you can really help us find Rama's remains, I can guarantee your life."
Haitang immediately said.
"I know, I know! Just now, Lei Bin, Lian Sheng, and I went to find Zhang Dajing and took away the remains of Luo Mo from him."
Now that Lian Sheng has stolen half of Rama's remains, he will definitely go to the stronghold and take the other half with him.
As soon as Ye Zhanqing finished speaking, Guihai Yidao lifted her up.
"lead the way."
"Yes."
In his panic, Ye Zhanqing nodded repeatedly and immediately used his lightness skill to lead the way.
"Yidao, go and retrieve Rama's remains. I'll stay here to clean up the mess."
"it is good."
Gui Haiyi nodded and left with Ye Zhanqing.
Haitang then fired a firework signal flare to summon the people from the Dragon Guard Manor to come and clean up the mess.
Gu Qianbei looked at the wound on his chest. Although it had torn his clothes and left a sword mark, the wound was not deep and should be fine after a few days of rest.
"Fortunately, I applied another layer of Golden Light Spell at the end, otherwise it wouldn't have been such a minor injury. This Cao Shaoqin is really powerful; the power of his sword strike is actually this strong."
If I were to confront him head-on now, I'm afraid I wouldn't have a single chance.
"That's true. He could hold his own against Guihai Yidao in his Overlord Blade form; it would be a miracle if I could beat him now."
Gu Qianbei secretly felt lucky, while Haitang walked over and said, "Brother Gu, let me treat your wound."
"Okay... um... wait, now doesn't seem like the time to treat the wound."
Following Gu Qianbei's gaze, Haitang saw Jiang Asheng carrying the uneven sword and walking towards Xiyu.
call out!
Jiang Asheng pointed his long sword at Xi Yu, his eyes filled with complex emotions, but in the end they all turned into the fury of hatred.
"Fine Rain! You killed my entire family! Today, I will kill you to avenge my family!"
Xi Yu smiled with relief and closed her eyes.
"You should do it this way."
As if he had made up his mind, Jiang Asheng swung his longsword and slashed at Xi Yu's neck.
But just then, Lu Zhu suddenly appeared.
He clasped his hands together, stood in front of Xi Yu, and took the sword strike with his shoulder.
The sword pierced flesh and reached bone, causing blood to splatter.
"Amitabha."
"Lu Zhu!"
Xi Yu was startled, never expecting Lu Zhu to save him in this way.
"What are you doing?"
Jiang Asheng was both shocked and furious.
I don't understand what this monk is trying to do.
"Benefactor Zhang, I understand your anger. But Fine Rain was once just a knife, which Black Stone used to kill people."
Now, she is a person, and although she carries sins, I think she deserves a chance.
An opportunity to atone for one's sins without dying.
Now that the Blackrock organization has been destroyed, your revenge can be considered as her helping you avenge yourself. Could you please spare this knife that was once beyond your control?
Lu Zhu looked at Jiang Asheng with pleading in her eyes.
The situation reached a stalemate for a moment.
Jiang Asheng was struck by Lu Zhu's words, and his hand holding the long sword trembled slightly.
Is the drizzle innocent?
She may be pitiful, but as a killer who has taken countless lives, she can hardly be considered innocent.
Most importantly, Jiang Asheng harbored feelings for Zeng Jing.
Although it's still in its nascent stage, feelings are feelings nonetheless.
That last sword strike had exhausted all his resolve, and now he no longer had the courage to swing it again.
"Shouldn't we do something?"
Seeing this, Haitang couldn't help but say something.
Gu Qianbei shook his head.
"We are all outsiders and have no right to speak. Whatever Jiang Asheng ultimately chooses, he is not wrong."
"But Lu Zhu is right, the drizzle is just a knife."
"A person is a person, and while she is of sound mind, she must take responsibility for everything she does."
Even if she was instigated to kill, she still killed someone.
If you commit murder, you must be prepared to be judged by the law and to suffer the backlash of hatred.
Turning over a new leaf is not something that can be easily granted by others with just a few words.
Without shedding a layer of skin, how can there be new life?
Jiang Asheng's willingness to let Xiyu go was an act of compassion, breaking free from the cycle of hatred.
He wasn't willing to let it go; that's the cycle of karma, and retribution is inevitable.
