Chapter 43: Destroying Sword Casting Villa

Zhong Mei had not even finished speaking when the slap in the face arrived.

A radiant sword soared into the air amidst the chaotic blades, and Bu Jingyun opened his eyes at that very moment; the Peerless Sword flew directly into his embrace.

Bu Jingyun stood up, took hold of the Peerless Sword, and his entire aura surged instantly.

Zhong Mei said happily, "The divine weapon has been trapped for a hundred years; it has finally met its true master."

Aotian and the others immediately brandished their swords toward Bu Jingyun, ready to seize the blade.

While smoke and dust filled Sword Casting Villa, Nie Feng and Qin Shuang had already met at Huo Family Manor; the two exchanged greetings and learned of each other's fortuitous encounters.

The two discovered that there was no one at Huo Family Manor, and then heard that there was a Sword Sacrifice at Sword Casting Villa; both guessed that Duan Fengyun and Bu Jingyun must have headed to Sword Casting Villa, so they rushed there as well.

Turning the gaze back to Sword Casting Villa, Aotian held his sword and warned Bu Jingyun, "Bu Jingyun, hand over the Peerless Sword, or I will make sure you don't walk out of Sword Casting Villa."

Duan Fengyun said from the side, "I didn't expect Sword Casting Villa to operate this way. You couldn't obtain the Peerless Sword yourselves, and now you want to snatch it from others; I wonder if the pugilistic world will laugh at you for this."

Aotian would not pay heed to Duan Fengyun's mockery; reputation is earned through combat, and as long as he obtained the Peerless Sword, who in the pugilistic world would be his match? By then, he would have his reputation.

Duan Fengyun stood silently beside Bu Jingyun to show his stance.

Although Jian Chen did not want the Peerless Sword to fall into Bu Jingyun's hands, he despised the actions of Sword Casting Villa; he decided to stand on Bu Jingyun's side for now and consult his master about the next move after returning.

As for Jian Tan, he did not want to participate in the struggle between the two sides; both sides were like tigers, and he could not afford to stir up trouble. Using the Thirty-Six Stratagems, the best one is to flee, so Jian Tan slipped away without a trace.

Zhong Mei and Wen Nu had completed their mission; the two originally wanted to tell Bu Jingyun the method to unseal the Peerless Sword, but seeing the current situation, he knew he could not intervene, so he left, preparing to find another opportunity to tell Bu Jingyun later.

Those who should leave had already left; now, those remaining were either helpers or enemies.

Duan Fengyun, Jian Chen, and Bu Jingyun all drew their swords, ready to begin the great battle.

Bu Jingyun told Duan Fengyun and Jian Chen to step aside; he wanted to fight Jian Mo again.

Now that the three mysterious passes in his left arm were all cleared, and with the added power of the Peerless Sword, he was confident he could take revenge on Jian Mo.

Duan Fengyun used the Wind God Leg to quickly flash to Chuchu's side; he did not want Chuchu to be used by Aotian and the others as a tool to threaten them.

He told Jian Chen to deal with Aotian; he still had confidence in Jian Chen, and Jian Chen dealing with Aotian should not be a problem.

Bu Jingyun held the Peerless Sword and fought Jian Mo again; this time, it was Jian Mo's turn to be at a disadvantage, and Bu Jingyun struck Jian Mo to the ground with a single Cloud-Palm.

After injuring Jian Mo, Bu Jingyun turned and walked toward where Duan Fengyun was.

But how could a despicable villain like Jian Mo admit defeat just like that? He directly struck at the fatal point on Bu Jingyun's back with Duanmai Sword Qi.

Having walked the pugilistic world for so many years, Bu Jingyun naturally knew not to easily leave his back to an enemy; he had been keeping an eye on Jian Mo.

He pulled up his cloak and directly deflected Jian Mo's Duanmai Sword Qi back.

The deflected Duanmai Sword Qi struck true, hitting Lady Ao right in the heart.

Seeing this, Jian Mo rushed over heartbroken, holding Lady Ao, and said with tears streaming down, "Lady Ao, how are you? You haven't married me yet; you cannot leave."

Lady Ao took out a box, placed it in Jian Mo's hand, and told him this was a gift she had for him.

Jian Mo opened the box, never expecting that it contained poisonous smoke; without any precautions, Jian Mo was hit.

Jian Mo clutched his head, his eyes turning pitch black without a glimmer of light; it was fortunate that his internal energy was profound, or the poison would have reached his heart, but he was blinded by Lady Ao's sneak attack.

Clutching his agonizing head, Jian Mo asked Lady Ao in pain, "Lady Ao, why? Why did you do this to me?"

Lady Ao used all her remaining strength to answer, "I never liked you. I only wanted to use your power to help Tian'er obtain the Peerless Sword. Now that I am about to die, Tian'er certainly cannot deal with you, so I had no choice but to kill you."

Having said this, Lady Ao passed away.

After Lady Ao died, Jian Mo did something shocking; he crushed Lady Ao's corpse, smeared her flesh and blood on his own body so they would never be separated, and let out a wild laugh!

Everyone present was stunned! Jian Mo, this number one sycophant of the Wind and Cloud world, truly lived up to his reputation and was indeed an out-and-out pervert!

Aotian could no longer bear to watch; he could not stand to see his mother's corpse defiled by Jian Mo like this, so he raised his sword and killed toward Jian Mo.

Just as Aotian's sword tip was about to pierce Jian Mo's chest, a sword glowing entirely red blocked Aotian's lethal strike.

This sword was none other than the Fire Scale Sword; Duan Fengyun did not want to save Jian Mo, he only wanted to ask for the Secret Manual of the Duanmai Sword Qi.

Seeing that Duan Fengyun dared to block him, Aotian shouted angrily, "Duan Fengyun, you want to stop me?"

Duan Fengyun laughed, "Now that we brothers are at odds with your Sword Casting Villa to the death, why should I spare you?"

Jian Chen heard the murderous intent in Duan Fengyun's words and stepped forward to persuade him, "Now that Jian Mo is dead, Sword Casting Villa has no top-tier combat power; please, Brother Duan, show mercy and spare Sword Casting Villa."

Duan Fengyun stared fixedly at Jian Chen and said, "Jian Chen, today I will tell you on behalf of Senior Wuming: if you don't pull up the weeds by the roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows. Look at the hatred in Aotian's eyes; if I let him go today, will he, Aotian, spare us if Brother Yun and the others are in danger in the future? Sword Casting Villa must fall today."

"Well said. Womanly kindness never accomplishes great things. The path of the pugilistic world requires blood."

At this moment, a familiar voice reached Duan Fengyun from outside, and Bu Jingyun said with pleasant surprise, "Brother Shuang?"

"Brother Yun, you only remember Brother Shuang, and don't remember me?"

Nie Feng's voice also reached everyone's ears.

A tornado swirled in, and after it dissipated, it revealed Qin Shuang carrying a giant axe and Nie Feng holding the Snow Drink Saber.

Nie Feng looked at the scarred Bu Jingyun and said guiltily, "Brother Yun, sorry, we are late."

Duan Fengyun mocked from the side, "You all only care about Brother Yun and don't come to see me, your little junior brother."

The three of them looked at the jealous Duan Fengyun and laughed out loud.

Aotian, still unaware of his impending death, said, "Bu Jingyun, hand over the Peerless Sword quickly, or today I will send you four brothers to the Western Heaven."

Jian Chen looked at Aotian's oblivious state and ultimately chose to close his eyes; it was not worth saving a pig-like opponent such as Aotian.

Seeing that Jian Chen had nothing more to say, Duan Fengyun held the Fire Scale Sword and slaughtered everyone in Sword Casting Villa present, except for Jian Mo, Aotian, and the others.

Seeing the corpses strewn across the field, Aotian was finally afraid; he immediately knelt on the ground and begged Duan Fengyun for mercy, "Duan Fengyun, don't kill me; if you don't kill me, I can tell you a secret."

Duan Fengyun signaled for him to continue, so Aotian continued, "Besides forging the Peerless Sword, my Sword Casting Villa also has my Duan family's ancestral divine weapon, the Jue Sword, buried in my Ao family's ancestral grave."

After Aotian finished speaking, Duan Fengyun turned away, and then a sword pierced through Aotian's chest; Duan Fengyun would not leave a ticking time bomb like Aotian alive in the world.

The Young Villa Master of Sword Casting Villa, Aotian, died; with the villa left leaderless, it was removed from the pugilistic world.
