362 The Black Robe Hides a Secret
The black-robed man suddenly raised his hand.
Then he slapped it down hard.
In that instant, Lei Wujie had an illusion, as if the moment the man raised his hand, a phantom of a giant palm appeared in the sky.
"It’s Great Tathāgata Mark!" Lanyue Marquis shouted in a deep voice.
Facing the man in black, Lei Wujie suddenly felt a sense of familiarity rising in his heart. He frowned slightly, but ran out of time to think further about it.
One palm coming down, one palm covering the sky.
Lanyue Marquis, Lei Wujie, Jin Yu Gonggong and Jin Wei Gonggong were all repelled at the same time. The black-robed man spun lightly in the air, stepped on the eaves, broke through the roof and landed inside the room.
Mu Chunfeng saw the intruder and immediately stabbed his sword forward. The sword power was like a tidal wave, as if moving a thousand mountains.
The man in black raised his right hand and blocked the long sword.
The sword power dissipated instantly.
Mu Chunfeng pushed forward with all his strength, but his Moving Mountains sword couldn’t move a single inch, as if it was stuck in the other man’s hand.
"Shifu." Mu Chunfeng immediately understood the present situation. "Run!"
Hua Jin raised her head and exhaled a long sigh of relief. "It's done."
Xiao Jingxia whispered, "Kill her."
The man in black waved his hand, and the Moving Mountains sword was swung into the wall. He moved and flashed in front of Hua Jin.
He struck a fist.
Mu Chunfeng tipped his toes and tried to get in front of Hua Jin.
He was the third son of the wealthiest family in Qingzhou, most likely to be the heir of the family, and his status was extremely noble, no less than a prince. But, at that moment, he was willing to sacrifice his own life for his master.
A flash of red was one step ahead of him and dropped right in front of Hua Jin. Lei Wujie also struck his fist to attack the man in black.
Grand Arhat Demon Subjugation Invincible Vajra Divine Skill.
He sent one fist after another, a total of seven fists in a row.
The black-robed man received the seven fists and the brim of his hood flew off, revealing a pair of eyes filled with evil intent.
"You." Lei Wujie was startled, and blood dripped from the corner of his mouth.
Something wavered for a moment in the black-robed man’s eyes, but he didn’t stop in his steps and smacked Lei Wujie aside with one palm.
Meanwhile, Hua Jin rotated a hand and unrolled a length of white cloth in her hand with silver needles lined up on it. She tugged on it sharply and the row of silver needles flew out, but instead of flying towards the black-robed man, the needles entered her own body.
The black-robed man finally landed in front of her and struck her with one palm, sending her flying backwards.
"Hua Jin!"
"Shifu!" Lei Wujie and Mu Chunfeng shouted at the same time.
Hua Jin slammed into the wall and dropped onto the ground. By then, the two eunuchs, Jin Wei and Jin Yu, and Lanyue Marquis had also rushed into the house and stood in front of Hua Jin.
Xiao Jingxia ordered softly, "She won’t survive that. Now, kill Xiao Chong."
The black-robed man turned his head and looked at Xiao Chong who was lying on the bed, still unconscious. His eyes were already cured, but he didn’t even get a chance to see this world yet. The black-robed man tipped his toes and landed at Xiao Chong's side. He swung his right palm down. In another moment, this palm would undoubtedly take Xiao Chong’s life.
But an extremely tyrannical sword aura blocked him.
In the martial world, everybody knew that the Wrath Sword Immortal only had three swords, Sword Drawn with Fury, Sword Decapitates with Fury, Sword Withdraws with Fury.
But at this moment, the Wrath Sword Immortal executed ten swords in succession, and every sword took aim at a critical hit on the black-robed man.
Lanyue Marquis and the others were standing to one side and although they wanted to help, under the Wrath Sword Immortal’s surge of sword power, others would very likely get caught in it. However, the black-robed man waved his sleeves to block the attacks. He used only the sleeves on his arms and turned the Wrath Sword Immortal’s sword power formless.
Jin Yu Gonggong frowned slightly. "That’s the Without Order Without Form skill."
One Wrath Sword Immortal, two Grand Eunuchs, the successor of the Violent Blade, Lanyue Marquis, and Lei Wujie who had stepped into the Unfettered Heavenly Realm. Xiao Jingxia considered the odds, then suddenly snapped in a low voice, "Leave."
The black-robed man withdrew his sleeves abruptly, grabbed Xiao Jingxia, turned around and dashed out.
The back door of the White Prince Residence.
Xiao Se and Xiao Yu were both waiting quietly.
After Xiao Yu's scream, everyone could feel that the atmosphere in the White Prince Residence had changed. Several alarming murderous auras surged forth and even the two of them couldn’t help but become anxious. Sikong Qianluo’s palms were drenched with sweat and she took several deep breaths to calm herself.
Within a few breaths, there was a flash of movement from above. The black-robed man clutched Xiao Jingxia in his arms as he swept down and landed beside Xiao Yu's carriage. Lei Wujie was right on his heels with his sword.
"How is it?" Xiao Se asked.
Lei Wujie shook his head. "His Highness White Prince is fine, but Hua Jin is injured. The situation is very dangerous."
Xiao Se’s frown deepened and he looked at Xiao Yu. "You’ve done something terrible."
Xiao Yu laughed and said, "I've been here all night chatting with you, Liu-ge. What could I have done? But… the result of this gamble is not what I imagined it to be. Xiao Chong's eyes are cured, but Hua Jin did not come out unscathed. You didn't win, but I didn't lose either. Looks like I have no fate with that Fallen Snow Villa after all."
Xiao Se was silent, but Lei Wujie couldn't help but whisper, "Xiao Se, that man in black."
Xiao Se was also looking at that man in black, his brows furrowed. "I know what you want to say. I have the same thought."
"Looks like that’s it for tonight," Xiao Yu said faintly. "Let's go."
Xiao Se suddenly shook his head. "No, you can't go."
"Oh? Think you can stop me?" Xiao Yu raised his eyebrows, and next to him, Su Changhe suddenly opened his hands.
"At least." Xiao Se raised a finger and pointed at the black-robed man. "He can't go."
"Try and stop us," Xiao Yu retorted.
Xiao Se suddenly leaped into the air and Su Changhe flashed out of the carriage at the same time. Lei Wujie drew his sword, Sikong Qianluo readied her spear, and the two hurried forward to intercept him, blocking Su Changhe. Xiao Se’s steps were like falling stars and he dashed towards the black-robed man, but the black-robed man avoided him easily.
Xiao Se's lightness skill was Cloud Step Wind Riding skill. Which lightness skill could be faster than his?
Unless this person could come as he pleased and go like the wind.
"Divine Step," Xiao Se whispered.
The black-robed man stood where he was, completely silent.
Xiao Se turned around and looked at Xiao Yu. "From today onwards, you’re my enemy."
Xiao Yu started for a moment, then sneered. "Wasn’t I before?"
"Until this moment, I still treated you as my brother. Even if we had to fight, I would have left some sentiment and face. But now, you’re my enemy. Once you’re my enemy, I will kill you." Xiao Se retreated. "Lei Wujie, Qianluo!"
Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo also withdrew their weapons and returned to his side.
Xiao Yu gestured once. The black-robed man left immediately and Su Changhe and Xiao Jingxia returned to the carriage. Xiao Yu glanced at Xiao Se. "Then I’ll wait for you to come and kill me." After speaking, the carriage turned around and left unhurriedly.
Lei Wujie asked anxiously, "Is it him?"
"No mistake, he’s Wuxin." Xiao Se nodded.
Lei Wujie was badly shocked. "This monk is even more cunning than you. How could he have fallen into the Red Prince’s hands? Why didn’t he recognise us? And how is his current martial arts so much stronger than before!"
