Chapter 103: Qiu Yichen

Seeing with his own eyes the villa master Huang Zong commit suicide, the retainers of God Sword Mountain Villa were instantly like ants in a boiling pot, scattering everywhere, at a loss. There were also a few stubborn ones who wanted to avenge Huang Zong, but they all ended up as souls under Chen Yi He's sword.

Blood spattered Chen Yi He all over. Chen Yi He bathed in the blood, enjoying these foul-smelling liquids; today he had almost been drained of blood by the Heavenly Opportunity Sword, and now he has received recompense.

After a simple adjustment, Chen Yi He finally caught his breath.

"Thank you." Chen Yi He bowed his thanks to Qiu Yichen; counting this time, Qiu Yichen has already helped him twice.

"I can't stand those who bully the weak with strength or the few with the many." Qiu Yichen laughed as he spoke.

"Wait a moment while I finish everything, then I'll properly treat you to a drink!" Chen Yi He descended the steps; with each step he recalled how he had just come up—he had been dragged up like a dog by an iron cart!

Today's debt, to be settled today.

Now, Chen Yi He has no other enemies beside him; in his eyes, only Huang Gao Yu remains.

Huang Gao Yu's whereabouts are unknown, but Chen Yi He knows he cannot run far.

"Are you really going to continue like this?" Ye Wuming asked Chen Yi He from far away.

Chen Yi He pointed to the scar on his right cheek and angrily retorted, "Old Ye, do you know what this is?"

Ye Wuming remained silent.

"Even if I must become the enemy of the whole world today, I will reduce God Sword Mountain Villa to ashes!" Having said that, Chen Yi He sped up his descent; Huang Gao Yu cannot escape.

It was last night's courtyard.

Chen Yi He held his sword and slowly entered the courtyard. He walked through the wooden door he had split open the previous night.

"Huang Gao Yu, you cannot escape." The interior was empty and in disarray; Chen Yi He vigilantly observed his surroundings, "I know you're in here—hiding is useless! You cannot escape!"

"Come out and meet your death!"

Huang Gao Yu's voice sounded behind Chen Yi He: "Death?"

Chen Yi He turned around abruptly and saw Huang Gao Yu, and also Long Yue. Long Yue made his heart tremble.

Inside the wooden hut were Chen Yi He, Huang Gao Yu, and Long Yue—three people in total.

Huang Gao Yu's left hand gripped Long Yue's throat from behind, his right hand holding a sword against her throat. "Tell me, how should I die? Ah?"

Huang Gao Yu was near madness; his beautiful hair was already a tangled mess, his splendid attire stained with filth, his expression numb, his bloodshot eyes filled with hatred, he was on the verge of grinding his own teeth to pieces……

No matter how fast Chen Yi He's sword, it could not surpass the distance between Huang Gao Yu and Long Yue; the Purple Tempered Sword was only an inch away from Long Yue's vital spot.

"Release her." Chen Yi He's mind was in turmoil.

"Release her, then wait for you to kill me? Hahaha! How ridiculous!" Huang Gao Yu laughed savagely, his body trembling with laughter.

"Release her, and I won't kill you." Long Yue is the one who saved his life; Chen Yi He wants her to live.

Repaying kindness is Chen Yi He's principle; no matter why Long Yue saved him!

"Who would believe what you say?" Huang Gao Yu threatened Long Yue, step by step approaching Chen Yi He with no intention to flee, "My God Sword Mountain Villa's thousand-year foundation—how could it be destroyed in your hands? You're just a nobody! Hehe, she's now in my grasp—what do you have to fight me with? What do you have to play with this young master? Hahaha!"

Long Yue's face showed not a trace of panic; she remained as she always was, unable to speak to anyone, only the sorrow on her face would not fade, as if life and death were irrelevant to her.

What harm is there in living?

What harm is there in dying?

What harm is there to the foundation?

"My Long Yue, why won't you speak? The sneaky fellow who came down the mountain—do you want him to take you away from this young master's clutches? Or do you want to leave God Sword Mountain Villa? Do you think he's capable? You are now in my grasp!" Huang Gao Yu went completely mad; the blade of the Purple Tempered Sword lightly sliced Long Yue's flesh, a little at a time, already traces of blood seeping out.

"Stop!" Chen Yi He shouted, "Release her, and I will spare your life."

"Spare my life? Hahaha!" Huang Gao Yu's strength is not much less than Chen Yi He's; among the younger generation he is absolutely outstanding—how could he tolerate a peer threatening him so? "Put down the Heavenly Opportunity Sword!"

Huang Gao Yu is very shrewd; he has Long Yue shielded in front of him, always using her as a human shield; even if Chen Yi He's speed were greater, he could not prevent him from killing Long Yue with a single sword strike.

Chen Yi He slowly lowered the Heavenly Opportunity Sword and spread his hands.

"Kick it over!"

"Don't listen to him!" Long Yue finally spoke; her blood had already dyed her fair neck and white clothing red.

Nevertheless, Chen Yi He kicked the Heavenly Opportunity Sword to Huang Gao Yu's feet; he had no choice.

"The Purple Tempered Sword belongs to my God Sword Mountain Villa, the Heavenly Opportunity Sword also belongs to my God Sword Mountain Villa, and even this woman belongs to my God Sword Mountain Villa—you can only play with the leftovers that this young master has finished with!"

Huang Gao Yu had no intention of picking up the Heavenly Opportunity Sword.

"My Long Yue, you really know how to pick people—this silly kid would truly sacrifice himself for you!" Huang Gao Yu's tone was sarcastic, making people want to vomit.

"Release her, and I won't kill you." Chen Yi He said calmly; his heart was not calm, but rather tense—Long Yue must come to no harm.

"Having come to this, do you think I still care about my own life or death? I've already been ruined by you—my family destroyed!" Huang Gao Yu pressed Long Yue, taking a few steps forward; they drew ever closer to Chen Yi He.

The closer they got, the more opportunity Chen Yi He had.

Huang Gao Yu seemed to be deliberately giving Chen Yi He an opportunity; the cold light in his eyes flickered. "Shall we make a deal?"

"Speak."

"Exchange your two arms for her life." Huang Gao Yu lifted his chin at Chen Yi He in a provoking gesture, "If you love her, you'll do this."

Chen Yi He raised his arms, looked at his palms—he could now smash Huang Gao Yu to pieces with a single palm, taking Long Yue along. Long Yue saved him because she wanted him to take her away from God Sword Mountain Villa, since he is a thorn in the villa's eye, a splinter in its flesh.

But Long Yue after all saved his life! In his most difficult, weakest moments, she gave him companionship and reliance. Only after Long Yue's departure without farewell did he realize his feelings for her!

"Chen Yi He, I don't need you to do this." Long Yue said coldly.

She has always been this cold.

"Don't waste my time with nonsense!" Huang Gao Yu rebuked, gripping Long Yue even tighter! Then he said to Chen Yi He, "I'll count to three—you decide. If I die, I'll drag a scapegoat with me!"

"One."

"Two."

Chen Yi He has never faced such a choice before.
