Chapter 115 Perfect Night for Killing

This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml

Cold moonlight, breezy cool wind.

A fire had been lit beside a dark marsh. They had been waiting there for many days, but they were people who were used to waiting.

Su Ziyi of Su House had previously been assigned the most difficult and dangerous task to kill Luo Xinhan, the richest man in Xizhou. Luo Xinhan had more than ten bodyguards protecting him day and night, and almost every day there would be someone plotting to assassinate him who was silently erased. Su Ziyi had been undercover for a month at the richest and most famous brothel in the city as a silent and nameless background dancer in the corner. She attracted his attention and he lowered his guard. It took another month of living and playing with him to understand all his habits and the bodyguards who surrounded him. It took yet another month to make herself truly fall in love with him. It wasn't until the third month that she finally pulled out her knife.

Su Changli of Su House once hunted down the Wudang successor Wang Xuchen, who was unparalleled in his mastery of lightness skill. He hunted him for three months from Heavenly Revelations to the Western Regions, broke ten horses while on the road and suffered more than ten injuries, both light and heavy, until he finally decapitated Wang Xuchen's head.

Mu Ying of Mu House had a patience such that anyone who fell into his hands can, despite not having a whole body of skin, still retain their last breath, and rely on this last breath to live another half a year. A life no better than death, yet a death that wouldn’t come.

Hidden River, no rest unless dead. They had always been patient with such things as murder.

Su Changli was leaning on his great sword, watching the moon in the sky, silent without a word.

Mu Ying stood beside him and sneered. "It's a perfect night for killing."

Su Changli still didn't speak, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.

Mu Ying's face was gloomy. "Are you worried that Sword Heart Tomb would help them? We’ve seen those four sword guardians, He Qu, He Cong, Wu Fa and Wu Tian. Just looking at their individual swordsmanship, they’re not a match for you by far. They’ve only got that strange sword array that was very difficult to break."

Su Changli shook his head. "Besides the four sword guardians, there are other experts in Sword Heart Tomb."

"Other experts?" Mu Ying thought for a moment. "Like who?"

"Moon in sword heart, killer in dreams," Su Changli whispered.

"Li Xinyue, she’s been dead for many years," Mu Ying said.

Su Changli nodded. "Yes, Li Xinyue is dead, but the Heart sword has not ended. The person who taught her sword arts is still there."

"Who?" Mu Ying asked.

"The number one sword-forger under Heaven, Li Suwang." Su Changli suddenly raised his great sword, and the tip of the sword danced wildly.

Su Hongxi, Su Ziyi, and Mu Liangyue also stood up immediately, because they saw that on the opposite side of the marsh, at the entrance of the cave leading to Sword Heart Tomb, a person had suddenly appeared.

With the faint firelight, the face of the person on the other side of the marsh could not be seen clearly, but his voice was old and powerful. "The Great Sword Soars. An imitation of the Army Destroyer, ranked fifth among the famous swords under Heaven. I forged it in my younger years. I haven’t seen it in a long time.”

Su Changli looked at his great sword and said solemnly, "It's a good sword."

"It's a pity that it ended up in the wrong hands. Its murderous aura is heavy, a good sword is ruined," Li Suwang said.

Su Changli walked step by step to the edge of the marsh. "A sword has always been a murder weapon."

"Young man, are you discussing swords before me?" Li Suwang said solemnly, and with a violent wave of his hand, four long swords soared over the marsh and flew over.

Rainfall, Snowwatch, Flowergaze, Windscent.

Four Swords of Elegance.

Su Changli struck with his great sword, and with a powerful wave, he raised dozens of broken blades within the marsh to block the four long swords.

However, the four long swords severed through countless swords as they flew and in the blink of an eye, they’d forced through and were right in front of Su Changli. Su Changli lifted his great sword, but the four long swords nailed his sword at the same time. He felt a huge impact. He wanted to break apart the four swords, but was pushed back again and again. It was only dozens of steps later that he managed to barely block the four swords, but he felt the blood surge in his chest and had to spit out a mouthful of blood.

Li Suwang, the number one swordsmith under Heaven, was an expert at more than just forging swords.

Li Suwang took another step and was about to go forward, but a young voice behind him called out, "Grandpa, I will take care of my own business. So, you shouldn’t fight for me now."

Li Suwang turned around. He’d heard from He Qu and He Cong about Hidden River hunting them down. Tomorrow, Lei Wujie and the others were preparing to leave the Tomb, so he’d come here today to take care of these killers. But he didn't expect Lei Wujie to follow him here.

"This person is not easy to deal with." Li Suwang sighed.

Lei Wujie shrugged. "I've met people who are more difficult to deal with, but I have survived." After saying that, he stepped forward but he only walked to the edge of the marsh, and suddenly looked embarrassed. "But this marsh.. how do I cross it?"

Li Suwang sighed, grabbed Lei Wujie's shoulder, and jumped up. After a dozen steps on the marsh, he jumped to the opposite side. Mu Ying and the other four wanted to stop them, but when Li Suwang reached out his hand, the Four Swords of Elegance came back at them, forcing them all back.

Lei Wujie pulled out the long sword at his waist and faced Su Changli. "Let's challenge our swords again."

Su Changli walked back to him step by step, his brows furrowed. The sword aura on Lei Wujie was completely different after leaving the Tomb. Previously, his sword aura was fierce and vast, but presently, his sword aura was much more amiable and peaceful. Su Changli had also experienced this phase, when he crossed from the Vajra Mortal Realm to the Unrestrained Earthly Realm. He nodded to Lei Wujie. "Very well."

As soon as he said the words, Su Changli jumped up. His swordsmanship was just like his sword name. The Great Sword Soars, any chance to kill must be used to cut!

Lei Wujie also raised the sword in his hand and the sword danced lightly in the air.

Swordsmanship, imparted by Snow Moon City’s Li Hanyi, name: Paper Falls Into Smoke, each sword move was light and agile, vibrations akin to flight.

Sword formula, imparted by Sword Heart Tomb’s Li Suwang, name: Sword Heart Formula, move with your heart, rise together with heart.

"A sword is not a murder weapon. It is your friend." Lei Wujie withdrew his sword and landed on the ground.

Su Changli also picked up his great sword and landed heavily on the ground. Holding his sword, he stared ahead, hesitating for a long time. Then, slowly, he said, "To die by such a sword. Why not."

Lei Wujie turned around and frowned slightly. "I defeated you with one sword move just now, but it's too early to talk life and death. That sword move didn’t even hurt you."

Su Changli shook his head, and did not turn around. "For a killer, losing is the same as death." Su Changli inserted the Great Sword Soars into the ground. Then, a column of blood suddenly appeared on his chest, and blood sprayed out. He raised his head and looked at the sky, holding the great sword in his hand, and became still.

Su Hongxi and Su Ziyi hurried over, only to find that the expression on Su Changli's face had already frozen. Su Hongxi reached out a trembling hand to his nose, and a sad expression appeared on her face, but she immediately suppressed it again. She whispered to Su Ziyi, "Changli is dead."
