Chapter 59
Jiang Yu Lang saw that Hua Wu Que is walking slowly towards him, and finally laughed sinisterly, “Fine, since you want to die, then I shall grant you your wish! Killing someone would not spoil my mood for enjoyment.”
His palm is already holding a secret weapon, getting ready to throw it out!
Who would have expected that at this time, Hua Wu Que’s body suddenly started shaking, as if he has been pierced by needles, and then, he actually started laughing madly. His laughter sounded maniac, and Jiang Yu Lang cannot imagine that the gentle Hua Wu Que can actually emit such maniac laughter, and can’t help but ask hoarsely, “Have you gone crazy?”
When Hua Wu Que took the last step, he suddenly felt a needle piercing the weakest and softest part of his whole body, and a strange feeling, painful and ticklish, went straight to his heart.
He can’t help but laughed madly, unable to control it at all, but the energy which was blocked, suddenly surged forward!
Jiang Yu Lang was stunned, and a fistful of silver needles suddenly flew out like rain!
Hua Wu Que shouted amidst his laughter, “You… you dare!”
As he shouted, his hands drew an arc, and the roomful of secret weapons, suddenly disappeared all at once, as if it has been swallowed by the sea, not knowing where they have gone to!
Black Spider’s expression changed, “What a brilliant move of Shifting Flower Grafting Jade!”
Jiang Yu Lang was so frightened that his face turned ashen and he shouted in alarm, “Were you pretending just now?
Hua Wu Que replied, “That’s right…. Haha… put her down!”
Jiang Yu Lang stammered, “I… I’ll put her down, and you’ll let me off?”
Jiang Yu Lang stammered, “I… I’ll put her down, and you’ll let me off?”
Hua Wu Que laughed loudly, “Let… let….”
Jiang Yu Lang knows that once he said something, he will surely keep his word, so he dared not quibble further. He put Tie Xin Lan down, turned around and ran, disappearing in the blink of an eye!
Hua Wu Que laughed madly, but his heart has turned cold! Bai Shan Jun’s words are indeed true!
Hua Wu Que gritted his teeth but it could not stop the laughter, so he can only try not to think of this for the moment, and released Tie Xin Lan’s acupoint.
Tie Xin Lan stared at him and asked in surprise, “You have tricked all of us, and made us worry for you so, do you think it’s very funny?”
Hua Wu Que knows that Tie Xin Lan has misunderstood again, but he could not explain. At this time, he is still afraid that once Tie Xin Lan finds out the truth, she will be upset because of him.
He can only turn around and unseal Black Spider’s acupoint first.
Black Spider also asked furiously, “Do you think this joke is very funny?”
Hua Wu Que secretly sighed, who can see the pain in his heart! Others can only see that he seems to be laughing smugly. He dragged Tie Xin Lan up and ran out.
No matter what, Black Spider is very experienced in the martial arts realm, and he finally realised that something is wrong. He was furrowing his brow and thinking about it when he suddenly realized that Murong Jiu is looking at him dully.
He immediately cast aside all thoughts, dragged Murong Jiu and ran out as well!
Tie Xin Lan came in from this tunnel, naturally she knows the way out of the secret room.
Taking advantage of the dark night, they ran into the wilderness. The stars in the sky were slowly disappearing, the quietness of the woods made Hua Wu Que’s laughter sound even more piercing to the ear.
Tie Xin Lan can’t help but ask, “Can you stop laughing now?”
Hua Wu Que’s heart is almost breaking, and he almost wanted to reveal the truth.
But he suddenly thought that, instead of letting Tie Xin Lan wait and see how he dies horribly, why not just let her misunderstand forever. He is dying soon anyway, why make others sad as well?
Tie Xin Lan stamped her feet, “You… If you continue laughing like that, I’m going to leave!”
Hua Wu Que secretly sighed, but he still laughed loudly, “Go then! Haha… Anyway I already know that the person you love is not me… hahaha, go quickly!”
Tie Xin Lan’s body trembled and she quivered, “You really want me to leave?”
Hua Wu Que laughed madly, “Yes!”
Tie Xin Lan looked at him dazedly, and retreated step by step. Hua Wu Que is already looking heavenward and laughing wildly, not even giving her a glance.
Tie Xin Lan gritted her teeth and stamped her feet, “Fine, I’ll go, I… only now do I realize that you’re that kind of a person.”
She turned around and ran wildly, her tears flowing down her face. Hua Wu Que was still laughing continuously.
He already knows that he will surely die. He watches as the person he treasures most leaving him, even those that he risked his life to safe does not understand him at all, but he… can only laugh endlessly, laugh endlessly…
The dark, quiet woods, is filled with his sad yet mad laughter. The last lone star, also disappeared into the gray night solemnly.
Hua Wu Que’s tears finally flowed uncontrollably down his face as well.
Since young, he has grown up in a cold and heartless world, he never knew what it is like to shed tears, but now… he is crying as he laughed!
Suddenly, Tie Xin Lan came up to him again, looked at him quietly.
Hua Wu Que hurriedly wiped his tears and laughingly asked, “Why have you come back?”
There was a look of fear on Tie Xin Lan’s face and she trembled, “Tell me, what is this really all about?
Hua Wu Que replied, “What is it about?… Haha, I just find that you’re funny! Hahaha, can’t you even be chased away?”
Tie Xin Lan answered, “I know you’re not that kind of person, I cannot leave!”
“You’re not leaving? Haha, fine, I’ll leave!”
He have not even turned around when Tie Xin Lan embraced him, “Tell me, you… have you suffered some strange injury?”
Hua Wu Que laughed loudly, “How I can be injured?”
Tie Xin Lan only felt that his hands are as cold as ice, and berated, “Why won’t you tell the truth?”
Hua Wu Que felt like knives were slashing at his heart, but he can only laugh, laugh without stop.
Tie Xin Lan cried again, “I know it’s because of me that you became like that, you…”
Hua Wu Que laughed wildly, “Because of you… haha, you better go look for Jiang Xiao Yu quickly, go quickly, go quickly!”
Tie Xin Lan cried, “I’m not going, I’m not going to look for anyone, I must accompany you, no one can make me leave.”
Hua Wu Que asked, “What about Jiang Xiao Yu?”
Tie Xin Lan’s tears were glowing and she quivered, “Xiao Yu’er? … I’ve long forgotten about him.”
Hua Wu Que laughed loudly, “But you still cannot forget him, haha…. Love, is not an exchange, hahaha, if you love someone, no matter how he treats you, you will still love him.”
Tie Xin Lan stammered, “I… I…” She finally collapsed onto the floor and cried bitterly.
Hua Wu Que looked heavenward and laughed, “You better go and look for him…. Take care of him, all right? … Haha… I hope that the two of you will live happily for the rest of your lives…”
The sounds of his laughter suddenly became further away! When Tie Xin Lan lifted her head, Hua Wu Que is missing.
She knows that she can never catch up with him, so she could only cry and scream hoarsely, “Hua Wu Que, you rascal… If you die like that, how can I marry Xiao Yu’er? If you die like that, our whole lives, will there be another day of happiness?”
She used all her strength and shouted, “Hua Wu Que, Hua Wu Que… come back!”
But by now, how could there be a response from Hua Wu Que? Only the cold wind coursing though the woods, seemingly emitting the sounds of sad sobs… When the day breaks, Hua Wu Que’s life will come to an end! He knows that his life will be even shorter than a moth in the cold wind!
Is he going to wait for death just like that?
Hua Wu Que was actually sitting down in dejection, but now he suddenly jumped up.
He looked heavenward and laughed madly, “Hua Wu Que oh Hua Wu Que, at least you’re still living now! You can at least make use of this short life to do something! Even if you were to die, you should not die quietly!”
Heaven and earth resonated with his loud laughter.
He turned around and flew back towards that Shan Jun Temple. The main hall is still dark and eerie.
Hua Wu Que leaped in and with a flying kick, sent the statue of the Shan Jun God falling down, and continued with a mad laughter, “Bai Shan Jun, come out!”
Amidst his mad laughter, Hua Wu Que lifted the statue and threw it heavily into the courtyard, laughing loudly, “Bai Shan Jun, listen, I may be dying, but I will still want to kill all of you vicious people to rid the world of evil!”
Suddenly there was a tiger’s roar, that white tiger had dashed in like an arrow.
Hua Wu Que welcomed it amidst his laughter, and with an evasive move of his body, avoided this ferocious tiger’s unstoppable attack, and with a turn of his back and a palm strike, chopping down on the tiger’s neck!
The movement of Hua Wu Que’s body is like a dragon proudly dancing in the air. How can that ferocious tiger get near to even his clothes, and after three leaps, it had used up its strength!
Hua Wu Que struck with his palm again, and the ferocious tiger is now lying on the floor, unable to move!
There was no one else in the courtyard as well!
Hua Wu Que was full of grief and anger but there was no avenue for him to vent his frustration. He kicked open a door, grabbed a table and threw it far away. The table was smashed to pieces, but even if the whole courtyard was destroyed by him, what use is there?
Hua Wu Que shouted and laughed, “Bai Shan Jun, Bai Shan Jun! Where are you! Why won’t you come out and fight with me!”
Now he only wishes for a fight, and even if he perish in the fight, he is willing!
Hua Wu Que felt a rush of hot blood gushing up, and drops of fresh blood splattered as he laughed wildly, the blood landing on his clothes like flower petals.
He only felt as if his energy is used up, his body swaying, almost falling! His anger, seems to have turned from strong to weak, fading away.
Hua Wu Que suddenly realized that right now he only wishes for someone to be at his side, it doesn’t matter who, he really does not want to die alone!
He only hopes to die in battle! But no one seems to be bothered with him, he hopes to die in a crowd, but he almost has no more energy to walk out!
Hua Wu Que staggered backwards and fell into the chair, his eyes staring blearily at the approaching dusk, only hoping that death will come with dusk. He has given up hope, he is actually waiting for death!
But he still cannot help but laugh, laugh continuously, laugh madly. He is laughing the life out of his body, but cannot laugh the bitterness out from his heart!
He can escape everything, but how can he escape his own laughter. This laughter is like a poisonous maggot attached to his bone, which will trap him until he dies!
Now he would not mind giving up everything, if only he can stop this maddening laughter. He tried to cover up his ears, but how can he not hear his own laughter.
This laughter is making him crazy, to make the laughter stop, he is ready to end his own life!
Right at this time, from the boundless dusk, a shadow suddenly appeared!
The fog was thick, like dense smoke, Hua Wu Que finally took a clear look at her face. That beautiful face also seems to carry a deathly look that is devoid of hope!
Madam Bai! This person is actually Madam Bai! She finally appeared after all!
Hua Wu Que had thought that he would dash over as soon as he sees her, but who would have expect that right now he just sat there dully, looking at her dully.
Hua Wu Que thought that she must have come to kill him, but who would have expect
that she only stood quietly in front of him, looking at him quietly.
Hua Wu Que suddenly laughed madly, “You’ve come at the right time, since you’ve arrived, why have you not struck?”
Madam Bai only looked at him without speaking.
“So you’ve only come to watch me die?”
Madam Bai still did not talk.
“Very well, it doesn’t matter why you’ve come, I’m still grateful to you, I was just feeling lonely.”
Madam bai suddenly heaved a long sigh and said sadly, “Poor man, don’t you even have the courage to beg for life?”
Hua Wu Que felt a stab of pain in his heart, and he laughed hoarsely, “You wished for my speedy death, but now you want me to live, don’t you think that my suffering is enough?”
Madam Bai replied, “But I also know that I’ve let you down, and can only beg for your forgiveness.”
Hua Wu Que laughed madly, “Why do you have to say such words? Are you trying to lie to me again?”
Madam Bai lowered her head sadly, “I know that you will never believe me, but… but can you come with me to see something?”
Hua Wu Que sat there unmoving, his laughter hoarse.
Madam Bai lifted her head and looked at him, quivering, “I only beg of you this one time, no matter that, this won’t cause you any greater harm, right?” The look in her eyes seemed to be full of genuine plea.
Hua Wu Que laughed hoarsely, “That’s right, I am about to die, who else can harm me?”
Finally, he did follow her out.
After passing a few rooms, Hua Wu Que suddenly saw a person hanging upside down across the beam, with fresh blood all over the body, a long knife pierced through the chest.
Hua Wu Que cried hoarsely, “Bai Shan Jun is dead!”
The mad laughter covered the surprise in his voice, and there was even a sense of disappointment in his voice, but definitely no joy. Although he wished to fight with Bai Shan Jun, although he wanted to get rid of this person, but when suddenly faced with the horrible death of this person, he thought of how short a person’s life can be, and can’t find any joy in the death of his opponent.
Madam Bai said slowly, “I want you to see for yourself his body, and precisely because I feel that I have let you down…”
“You killed him?”
Madam Bai heaved a long sigh, “That’s right, it’s I who killed him!” Hua Wu Que staggered back, unable to utter a single word.
Madam Bai secretly took a peep at Hua Wu Que and said, “Why I treated you thus, is because I wanted with all my heart to retain his love. For him, I will not hesitate to harm anyone, or hesitate to do anything…”
The tears in her eyes fell again, and she almost could not talk with her sobbing.
Hua Wu Que asked, “Since you treat him thus, then why did you kill him?”
She suddenly threw herself into Hua Wu Que’s arms and cried bitterly, “He actually did not take into regards our relationship as husband and wife, he… he… he actually wanted to kill me!”
Hua Wu Que did not push her away at all.
Under such circumstances, he still cannot bear to push a woman who is crying so bitterly in his arms… A bitterly crying woman, lying in the arms of a madly laughing man, next to a bloody corpse hanging from the beam, the strangeness of such a scene is really quite indescribable.
Hua Wu Que asked, “So… you killed him.”
Madam Bai replied, “Actually I would not have hesitated to die for him, but when he really came to kill me, I could not tolerate it any longer. The torture and grievances of the past twenty years, the suffering and pain of the past twenty years, all burst out at that instant. I can’t help but drew my knife and stabbed towards him!”
She continued, heartbroken, “I had thought that this stab would unlikely have injured him, but who would have know that he never expected me to retaliate, so he was totally thrown off guard. This stab of mine, really…. really took his life!”
What can Hua Wu Que say? His laughter is slowly getting hoarse, his legs are slowly getting soft. All the strength is his body has been laughed out!
Hua Wu Que suddenly said, “There is no need to mention what has passed, I… I will not hate you again…”
Madam Bai asked, “You forgive me?”
Hua Wu Que nodded his head, “Have you finished your words?”
Madam Bai replied, “I’ve said what I have to say, you… don’t you have anything to say to me?”
Hua Wu Que asked, “I… I only hope that you…”
Naturally he hopes that Madam Bai can stop his life threatening laughter, but at this point in time, he still cannot utter any words of pleas in front of a woman.
Madam Bai looked at him quietly for a moment before saying solemnly, “Actually there’s no need for you to verbalize it, I should have taken that Gossamer Needle out from your laughter acupoint long ago. But you have exerted too much strength earlier and the needle is now deeply embedded in the acupoint. I am powerless to help you take it out now.”
Hua Wu Que felt a stab of pain in his heart, and suddenly pushed Madam Bai away, turning around to leave. At this point in time, he knows that his fate has decided that, he can only laugh until he dies! Who would have expected Madam Bai to block his path and said, “You can’t leave yet.”
Hua Wu Que could not take it any longer and felt his anger rushing up, but he forced it down again, and said “Since things have come to this, why do you still want me to stay?”
Madam Bai said, “There is still one person who can save you in this world. Although I cannot save you, but I can increase your life span for another three days, and I can bring you to that person within three days. If you want to live, then you should have the courage to beg him! You’re young, it’s not a disgrace to beg others, but it is a real disgrace if you dare not continue living.”
Hua Wu Que guffawed, Even if I beg him, he may not save me, so why should I…”
Madam Bai interrupted, “I understand that person very well, as long as you go, he will certainly save you.”
She continued slowly, “Besides, you are not going there to beg him, you’re just going there to treat your illness. If a sick person does not see the physician, then this person should not be respected, but laughed at instead!”
She kept justifying the reasons, and Hua Wu Que was finally moved. No matter how much a person does not fear death, if there is a chance to live, that person would still not wish to die.
Hua Wu Que finally nodded his head. He can never reject such sincere pleas.
