Chapter 96
Wolfish Ambitions
"Sword Poetry felt a chill rush towards him, and he couldn't help but shiver. He quickly drew his longsword from his waist, twisted his wrist, and swung the longsword like a fan, deflecting the ice bullets one by one!"
Unexpectedly, the Ice Soul Sword used its internal force to gather and spin the dozen or so ice bullets that had returned along the original path, instantly transforming them into an Ice Soul Sword. Grasping the hilt with its right hand, it made a "Pointing the Way" gesture and stabbed straight at the opponent with a whoosh!
Despite his short stature, Jianxia Shi was incredibly skilled. He recited a line of ancient poetry: "If friends and relatives in Luoyang ask about me, tell them my heart is as pure as ice in a jade pot."
The longsword did not dodge but counterattacked. With a flick of the wrist, five sword lights appeared and attacked the enemy respectively!
The sound of metal clashing against metal was heard incessantly. In an instant, a sword light shattered the Frost Soul Ice Sword into pieces. Four other sword lights hissed and sealed the four major acupoints of the Frost Soul Ice Sword, rendering it paralyzed and unable to move at all!
The crowd stirred, and countless disciples of the Ice Glacier Sword Sect surrounded Jianxia Shi, shouting encouragement, but none of them dared to rush forward.
Even with Master's formidable martial arts skills, he was no match for her. Who among the rest could possibly be a match for Jianxia Shi? The junior sister leaped out from the crowd, threw herself beside her father, and wept bitterly.
Yu Xinjian, dressed in his new wedding clothes, also came to his father-in-law's side, looking extremely embarrassed.
Ice Soul Cold Soul Sword said expressionlessly, "Today, in front of so many friends from the martial arts world, I have completely lost face!"
You two should stop making a fool of yourselves. From now on, you're severing all ties and never seeing each other again!
"Did you understand?" Seeing her daughter burst into tears instantly, she remained silent.
The son-in-law grinned smugly and said shamelessly, "Since things have come to this, what difference does it make if we join the Tianshan Sword Sect? Please don't think too much about it, Father-in-law. It will only cause you more trouble!"
Ice Soul Cold Soul Sword spat and cursed, "This whole thing started because of you, and now you're making sarcastic remarks!"
If I had known this would happen, I would have preferred to let the Shadowless Sword kill you with a single strike that day!
The son-in-law was also enraged and said coldly, "You mean that deformed dwarf? One day I will make him pay for his crimes in blood!"
Not only will they cut off his arms with a sword, but they will also cut off his feet, causing him a lifetime of suffering, a fate worse than death!
They tortured him until he was neither human nor ghost, and then let him die slowly!
Haha, I bet he's hiding in the shadows right now, heartbroken and crying!
Because he couldn't stand me marrying the Enchanting Sword!
The Ice Soul Sword trembled with rage, saying furiously, "You—could it be that your affection for my daughter was all an act? Was it just to deal with the Shadowless Sword?" The Heart-Controlling Sword laughed wildly, then sneered, "Since things have come to this, let's be frank. I already have a beautiful wife and children at home. It was only to fulfill my master's mission, Sword Poetry, that I endured humiliation and married this wretched girl from your family!"
Take a good look at your daughter's appearance. She has no looks, no eloquence, and is incredibly stupid!
What about her would attract me? Only that deformed child is worthy of her!
These words were like a bolt from the blue, completely waking up the father and daughter of the Ice Soul Cold Soul Sword!
With a sharp cry, Enchanting Sword drew her sword from her waist, pointed it at the south, and aimed straight for the head of Heart-Controlling Sword!
Unexpectedly, the other party lowered his head and plunged the dagger that he had been hiding in his hand into her heart!
She stared at the beast in human form for a long time, her face full of resentment, before collapsing to the ground with a thud and dying.
All of this happened so suddenly that everyone present was stunned and horrified.
The wedding instantly turned into a murder scene. How could the Ice Soul Sword withstand such a drastic change in its home!
He secretly channeled his internal energy and struggled a few times, but because the sword under his sword was powerful and vigorous, the acupoints he had struck could not be broken free!
He watched helplessly as his beloved daughter died right before his eyes, unable to help her avenge her enemy. His heart burned with rage, and he cried out, spitting out a mouthful of blood before dying instantly.
Even as he lay dying, he remained standing, his eyes bulging out of their sockets, blood seeping out, his eyes wide open, dying with his eyes wide open!
The disciples of the Ice Glacier Sword Sect shouted, brandishing their spears and swords, and surrounded Jianxia Shi and Yuxin Jian, determined to avenge their master and daughter!
At this moment, the master's wife, accompanied by several maids, rushed over upon hearing the news. Seeing the tragic state of her daughter's death, she was heartbroken. When she saw the gruesome sight of her husband being driven to death by others, she was even more horrified, feeling as if she had been through another world. She screamed and fainted to the ground!
The inhuman Yu Xin Jian drew his sword, pointing the gleaming tip at his master's wife's heart, and shouted to the disciples of the Ice Glacier Sword Sect: "If anyone wants to cause trouble, I will kill this woman immediately!"
Be good, don't move!
In any case, the Ice Soul Frost Sword is dead, and the Ice Glacier Sword Sect has completely collapsed and disappeared from the martial arts world!
As the saying goes, those who understand the ways of the world are true heroes.
I hope all my fellow disciples will be sensible and join the Tianshan Sect under the tutelage of Elder Jianxia Shi. What do you say? His Tianshan Sect is full of talented people and masters, and it is at its zenith in the martial arts world, with a bright future ahead.
It is definitely the best choice for discerning individuals!
The disciples of the Ice Glacier Sword Sect were already a mixed bag, and the internal management was chaotic. Now that they were leaderless, and seeing that what Yu Xin Jian said made sense, they had no choice but to acquiesce.
The poor teacher's wife was all alone, yet she was forcibly sent back to her hometown to fend for herself.
After the story was told, all the heroes of the Red Flower Society felt a surge of anger and righteous indignation.
The woman with the smelly feet calmly asked him, "Now that things have come to this, what do you want? Don't you want to avenge your master's family?"
Wuyingjian asked in surprise and confusion, "Why should I avenge them? I was expelled from the sect by Bingpo Hanhunjian back then, and my reputation was ruined. People in the martial arts world no longer respect me and keep their distance from me and ostracize me."
The world is vast, yet there is nowhere to settle down.
As a result, I'm almost thirty years old this year, still all alone and lonely.
A few years ago, thanks to the recommendation of Jianxia Shi of the Tianshan Sword Sect, I was able to join the Hangzhou Green Standard Army and find a job, which saved me from starving to death.
He spat as he split the object in two, roaring, "You utterly hopeless wretch! You confuse the public, you can't distinguish right from wrong, and you even recognize a thief as your father! You are truly stubborn, ignorant, and foolish!"
Wuyingjian coldly sneered, "I've been fooled by you for so many years!"
Everyone thought you were the most ruthless master in the Red Flower Society, but it turns out you only know these three moves!
"Now that's good, let's see how I deal with you."
He leaped close and cleaved the sword in two, twirling it with a flourish. The sword went astray, flashing right in front of him. In a panic, the sword was cleaved in two and hurriedly used his axe to strike the tip of the sword!
Wuyingjian smiled coldly, knowing that the other party had taken the bait. Suddenly, he released his inner force, and the tip of the sword slid down like lightning, stabbing fiercely towards the man's stomach!
It was about to be split in two, its belly ripped open, and it was about to die a violent death!
Unexpectedly, the smelly-footed guy on the side was quick-witted and nimble-fisted. Suddenly, he launched a flying kick in mid-air, rushing forward with lightning speed. His left foot kicked away the Shadowless Sword, and his right foot kicked him in the chest, thumping and thumping, causing him to involuntarily take three steps back!
He clutched his broken wrist, stunned and utterly bewildered.
The stinky feet followed him like a shadow. A dragon claw gripped his throat, forcing him in two. The hand that had been split in two said, "Tie him up with a rope and take him back to our Red Flower Society's secret liaison office in Yangzhou. I'm going to use him as a sacrifice to the spirit of our Fifth Brother."
He was overjoyed at splitting him in two, and found a rope. He was about to use the usual binding method to tie up Wuyingjian when he was stopped by Stinky Feet: "How can you bind him like that? Be careful, he might break the rope and escape when he releases his internal energy!"
Watch me—
He forcefully tied Wuyingjian's hands behind his back, bound his wrists with rope, and pulled them tightly towards his neck. He could faintly hear cracking sounds from the joints, which sounded like the bones in his arms breaking.
Then wrap the rope around your neck once, then tie the two ends of the rope back to your arms twice, then cross them around your waist twice, tie them tightly and fasten the knot, and you're done!
This is based on my personal experience at the General's Mansion in Hangzhou. However, the Qing soldiers treated him even more harshly, replacing ordinary ropes with iron chains and piercing his shoulder blades. At that time, he was in agony, but there was nothing he could do, because even a god couldn't break free from this kind of binding!
It would have been better if I hadn't struggled, but once I did, my arms felt like they were about to break, and the pain was excruciating!
Who would dare to move? Poor Wuyingjian, tears streamed down his face, his complexion was deathly pale, and in this cold early winter, he was panting heavily from the pain, sweat beading on his forehead!
Seeing his pathetic state after splitting him in two, he laughed with undisguised delight: "Chief, you know too much!"
Brother, I've learned another trick from you.
At this time, Xiang Quan had already led his men to wipe out the remaining Green Standard Army troops. Seeing the booming cannons, the smoke and fire everywhere, and the flames soaring into the sky, the Wulin Sect was in imminent danger. If everyone did not leave soon, they would be buried in these ruins!
