Chapter 47 - The Fatal Blow

Chapter 47 The Fatal Blow

He had different colored eyes, beautiful features, and purple clothes. He was both sinister and beautiful, like a demon who brought nothing but disaster. The man behind him wore white clothes, but he had the same incomparably beautiful face as the person standing before him. He held a distinctly cold aura around him, causing him to look aloof, like the snow lotus herb. The difference was that he had green eyes that were simultaneously pretty and weird. In the middle of the night the two persons’ slender figures looked attractive. But painted on their beautiful faces was a boundlessly willful determination to kill!

Standing opposite to them was an immortal-like, gentle man that wore clothes as white as snow. Looking at the beautiful faces, that were nearly identical, standing in front of him, Mu Yalun suddenly recalled Wushuang’s gege that he had met at Intoxicated Fragrance House that day. It looked like it was that green eyed, white clothed male. Although he didn’t know why his eyes were black then and green now, Mu Yalun’s eyes didn’t hold any shock as he looked at the two brothers. But a streak of pain and sadness did flash in his eyes and quickly die. After all, Wushuang had kept himself in the dark. She had never told him about her identity, even hiding the fact that she was a woman the entire time. However, his feelings had come from the fact that he was disappointed that Gu Weiyi never trusted him enough to tell him the truth. From the start, he never believed that she was a spy sent to sneak into Blue Snow Stronghold.

The three people standing opposite to each other didn’t make any motions. Behind Mu Yalun there were three Elders and a few white clothed emissaries. On the other hand, Xue Yunge and Xue Zhuyue didn’t bring along anyone to attend them. Indeed, the two people’s intense killing intent caused Mu Yalun’s heart to tremble. From their breaths and figure, Mu Yalun was able to see that their martial arts levels were extremely high, yet they remained a mystery as to how high. In fact, he didn’t even know if they surpassed his or not. If it was just one person, perhaps they would have the chance to gain an upper hand in the fight. But now, for the first time, Mu Yalun felt flustered and uneasy. There was even an inkling of concern, he had a premonition that a large calamity would truly strike Blue Snow Stronghold this time.

“You two are Xiu Luo villa’s Masters? My Blue Snow Stronghold has never provoked you guys, why would you wish to fight Blue Snow Stronghold?” After muttering to himself for a long time, Mu Yalun finally stacked up the courage to open his mouth and ask.

A mocking smile streaked across his eyes and Xue Yunge broke out into an enchanting smile. The tear birthmark that was on the verge of collapse* become even more prominent, but it carried a hint of unspeakable bloodiness alongside it.

“Senior is really too forgetful. Your Blue Snow Stronghold stole my Xiu Luo villa’s most precious treasure and now you actually go as far as to pretend like you’ve done nothing?” Although he had a charming smile on his face, his eyes held bloodthirstiness and killing intent.

Treasure? Now Mu Yalun became extremely confused. He had never sent people to Xiu Luo villa before, nor did he even know that Xiu Luo villa had any precious treasures. How could he have stolen something like they claimed? Could there be some misunderstanding, or was it that Xiu Luo villa knew Blue Snow Stronghold’s secrets and made up some excuse just to come attack them? After making all these guesses in his mind, Mu Yalun said with a magnanimous expression, “Could the two Masters have been mistaken? My Blue Snow Stronghold has always remained isolated from the world, how could we have snuck into Xiu Luo villa and stolen a treasure?”

“Let’s stop talking in riddles. Today, I will let your Blue Snow Stronghold cease to exist on this world!” The person who opened their mouth was actually Xue Zhuyue. His face was heavy and his clear cold eyes were overflowing with killing intent. It was as if the spotless, white snow lotus herb had changed into a blood crying red spider lily!

The murderous spirit increased in his body and the lake water-like eyes actually had a hint of blood red color in them. From his waist he took out the soft sword [1] and ruthlessly said, “Ge, what’s the point of being so wordy with him? Kill him!”

The contempt and arrogance in Xue Zhuyue’s eyes became even more evident which enraged one of the Elders. The Elder’s thick-skinned face turned extremely red. He unsheathed his sword and directly pointed it at Xue Zhuyue, menacingly saying, “Ignorant and egotistical child! Today lao fu will teach you, let’s see if you still dare to act so insolent!”

In response to the Elder’s threat, Xue Yunge was actually coldly smiling. They dared to act brash because they had the resources and abilities to! It wasn’t that they were arrogant, they didn’t place this world in their eyes. Even so, they had to at least have the ability to destroy the people outside indiscriminately! They would rather perish together. They wouldn’t let anyone control them, even if it meant losing their own lives!

Provoked by him, the Elder moved to charge toward Xue Yunge. When Mu Yalun saw what he was about to do, he shouted out in alarm, “Wait a moment Elder Ke!”

But it was already too late!

“You overestimate yourself!” Xue Yunge mocked the Elder as he ran toward him and made no move to take out a weapon. He merely waved his hand at the reckless Elder who had taken out a sword whilst charging toward himself. A bright light appeared and everyone only saw the Elder’s body slump down and limply lay on the ground. There wasn’t even a wound on him, he passed away just like this.

A lifeless and dried person laid on the floor. Mu Yalun looked, with sorrowful eyes, at the dead Elder Ke. The other two elders behind him looked at the scene in front of them with shock coloring their faces, not daring to believe what had just happened. Elder Ke’s martial arts weren’t considered low, in fact, he could be said to be one of the best in the entire Blue Snow Stronghold. Even if you placed him in the martial arts world, he would still be considered a rare opponent. Yet this demonic youngster had taken his life so easily. So much so that there wasn’t even a mark left behind. They were Elders, they bragged that they learned martial arts, yet couldn’t even name this strange and formidable technique that these brothers used! Could it be that they were old, unenlightened, and past their prime?

“You guys are so wanton as to take lives of my own men in my Blue Snow Stronghold, if you really didn’t have a reason, then don’t blame me for being rude!” His sudden anger had come from watching one of his Elders die. Mu Yalun felt a burst of pain in his heart. Elder Ke had died because of himself. If it wasn’t so weak or kind hearted, how could they have arrived here? They were harming innocent lives in the process!

Xue Yunge knew that everyone here, apart from Mu Yalun, would be unable to stand a single blow from either himself or his brother. But if he and Yue joined hands, it would be two against one. Then Mu Yalun could be considered an appetizer! Regardless of how many unfair advantages they used, they weren’t one of those demure, upright martial artists of the martial arts world. Any methods could be used as long as they achieved their goals!

Xue Yunge looked at Mu Yalun with sharp eyes as he took off the long, red whip that hung on his waist. He and Yue actually rarely used weapons, but they were familiar with all eighteen types. However, the one he felt was easiest to use was the long whip. On the other hand, Yue was an expert in soft swords. His whip had been made with a ten thousand year old Chinese redbud and was infused with the most poisonous poison in the world. Forget about people being able to escape his whip, his whip could be said to be infused with death. As long as the person’s skin had been injured by the whip, poison would sink into their blood. Without an antidote, they would succumb to the poison. As for Yue’s weapon, the best craftsman spent five years time making his sword. There was no need to speak of poisons, even though his sword was extremely soft, it was still incredibly sharp. When they usually killed people, they relied on using the Mirror’s force. Killing people through invisible means was their favorite game. But today they were facing against a powerful enemy and had to finish this as soon as possible.

Seeing that the opponents’ faces were grave, Mu Yalun knew that this time they were going to use their full force. Mu Yalun immediately took out his own, “Broken Cherry” and prepared himself for battle. This could be considered to be their fatal blow, but was there any purpose for these three beautiful men’s fight in Blue Snow Stronghold? Or was it some ridiculous snare that trapped them?

But they, who didn’t even know the full situations clearly themselves, were just about to step into the eye of the storm. In the end, would there be ruins or rebirth?
