Chapter 193: Lu Xiao Runs Away! Liu Qingyu's Fury!

~8 min read 1,402 words

Jiang Ye stepped hard on his feet, his figure already sweeping to Zhu Ying's side like a gray shadow.

Zhu Ying's face was full of blood, his eyes half-open and half-closed, pupils unfocused, his breathing so weak it was almost inaudible, every rise and fall of his chest like he was using the last bit of strength in his life.

Jiang Ye squatted down, reached out to probe Zhu Ying's meridians, his brows knitting tighter and tighter.

The vitality in Zhu Ying's body was already like a candle in the wind, his Qi and blood collapsed, his bones had at least seven or eight comminuted fractures; being able to hold on until now was already considered his life was hard...

But this hard life couldn't hold on for much longer.

"Elder Zhu!!!"

Jiang Ye transmitted his voice directly with True Qi, as if he wanted to pour this last bit of force directly into the depths of the consciousness that was about to dissipate.

"Heh... heh..."

The dying Zhu Ying seemed to hear Jiang Ye's voice.

His weak breathing suddenly became a bit hurried, his blood-stained lips trembling violently, desperately wanting to open, wanting to say something.

But he didn't even have the strength to speak, every time he opened his mouth, he only spat out a few strands of bloody bubbles, mixed with the blood foam surging up from the depths of his throat, flowing into his collar along the corners of his mouth.

Just at this moment.

Jiang Ye turned his head suddenly.

He could feel someone approaching this place at a very fast speed.

That aura was not unfamiliar; before he could even open his Fire Eyes, a graceful figure had already broken through the night like a rainstorm, landing steadily on the mountain road.

The person who came was actually Xuan Shui Peak master Liu Qingyu.

She was wearing a simple and elegant moon-white long dress, but at this moment the hem of the dress was splashed with spots of blood.

That beautiful and peerless face hung with a look of exhaustion and killing intent that had not yet dissipated, clearly also just having escaped from a fierce battle.

She saw Jiang Ye squatting in the pile of corpses at a glance, a flash of shock in her star-like eyes, and before the person arrived, a voice as soft as fine rain but carrying a bit of urgency had already drifted over:

"Elder Jiang?!"

"How is the situation on your Tianyangfeng..."

Seeing that the person who came was Liu Qingyu, a flash of surprise also flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.

He had intended to go to Xuan Shui Peak to find her, but didn't expect the other party to have come to Jin Chen Peak a step ahead.

Looking at her appearance, the trouble on Xuan Shui Peak had mostly been resolved.

He suppressed the thoughts surging in his heart, stood up, and said in a deep voice:

"The Qisha Sect demons who attacked Tianyangfeng were two in total, both were Divine Qi Realm cultivators, and both have been executed."

Hearing this, a flash of unconcealable relief flashed in Liu Qingyu's star-like eyes, her tone carrying a bit of heartfelt emotion:

"Tianyangfeng truly has successors."

"My Xuan Shui Peak also had two Divine Qi Realm demons, and they were also executed just now."

Hearing this, a flash of obscure shock also flashed in Jiang Ye's eyes.

These Qisha Sect demons would use killing intent, their methods were strange, often much harder to deal with than martial artists of the same rank.

This Xuan Shui Peak master...

Was truly not simple.

However, this was not the time to delve into this.

Both of them looked at the blood and gore all over Jin Chen Peak with solemn faces.

"Liu Fengzhu Liu, do you have any way to treat..."

Jiang Ye was about to speak.

Liu Qingyu had already raised her right hand, her fingertips condensing a strand of water-blue True Qi.

That True Qi flowed and surged under the moonlight, gradually blooming with a dazzling starlight, like the brightest star in the night sky being plucked from the horizon by her.

She flicked her fingers lightly, and that drop of starlight fell from her fingertips like a crystal-clear morning dew, silently dripping onto Zhu Ying's forehead, seeping into the depths of his brow.

"Umm..."

A muffled low groan came from Zhu Ying's throat, and those unfocused pupils miraculously refocused.

A layer of extremely faint luster rose on his face, like a candle about to be extinguished being added with the last drop of lamp oil, opening his eyes in a flash of return to light.

Liu Qingyu immediately asked in a deep voice: "Elder Zhu, how could Jin Chen Peak have such heavy casualties! Where is Liu Fengzhu Lu now!"

Hearing this, a surge of extreme complex grief and indignation surged in the eyes of Zhu Ying, who had just regained a trace of clarity.

His lips trembled violently, not from the twitching of dying, but from extreme humiliation and anger colliding in his body without finding an exit.

He used the last bit of strength in his whole body, squeezing a few hoarse words that were almost unclear from the depths of his throat:

"Qisha Sect demons attacked..."

"Liu Fengzhu... Liu Fengzhu ordered all elders and disciples in the peak to participate in the battle..."

"Then... then the Liu Fengzhu ran away..."

The moment he said the last two words, the flame of anger in the depths of his eyes dimmed, turning into a humiliation that was sad to the bone.

He never thought that the peak master who was usually known for being cold and hard would be a coward who feared death at such a critical moment of life and death.

Hearing this, Jiang Ye and Liu Qingyu's expressions changed drastically, their pupils shrinking.

"What?!"

"Lu Xiao ran away?!"

Ordering inner sect disciples to participate in the battle was outrageous enough.

After all, these inner sect disciples were mostly of Transformation of Force strength; facing the Qisha Sect's Divine Qi Realm demons, besides increasing casualties and delaying time, it was hard to have much effect.

But Lu Xiao not only gave this order, but also in the moment of breathing time exchanged by the disciples with their lives.

He ran away himself...

He was a peak master after all.

This Jin Chen Peak master, who had always shown himself with a cold and arrogant style, was the first to run away at the critical moment of the sect's life and death.

Such conduct was even more despicable than betraying the sect.

"This bastard... I will never spare him!!!"

Liu Qingyu was so angry that her silver teeth bit tightly, the coldness in those star-like eyes almost condensing into substance.

She was always calm and indifferent on weekdays, rarely losing her composure in front of others.

But at this moment, that beautiful and peerless face was filled with unconcealable anger.

Her full chest heaved violently, shaking out wave-like arcs in front of her chest.

Jiang Ye didn't speak again.

He looked at the dying Zhu Ying on the ground, and the corpses of the disciples all over the ground, a flash of obscure pity in his old eyes.

Those young faces were frozen with confusion and fear before death.

They didn't know until they died that the order they executed with their lives was just a discarded pawn to delay time in the eyes of the one who gave the order.

No wonder Jin Chen Peak had such tragic casualties.

To have someone like Lu Xiao as a peak master, they were truly miserable enough.

Zhu Ying held on to his last breath, his right hand that could still move trembling and lifting, grabbing Jiang Ye's robe corner.

His fingers were already as cold as iron, his voice as hoarse as sandpaper rubbing against a stone surface:

"After the Liu Fengzhu ran away..."

"Those two Qisha Sect demons... one went to chase the Liu Fengzhu..."

"The other one attacked us elders and disciples..."

"Elder Jiang... Liu Fengzhu Liu..."

"I beg you... save Jin Chen Peak..."

Before the words fell, his fingers lost all strength, sliding off Jiang Ye's robe corner, hanging silently in the pool of blood.

He had completely reached his limit, the wide-open eyes frozen with the unfinished pleading and unwillingness. ===== CHAPTER 194 =====
