Chapter 257

That manner, utterly without hesitation!

Just as his words fell silent.

Dozens of figures silently appeared in the courtyard.

Drawing swords and blades, they moved in perfect sync to seek out their targets.

'Damn it!!'

Watching the sudden shift in the courtyard's situation.

Feeling Yan Shisan's piercing sword intent rushing toward him.

Yuan Tiangang cursed under his breath, his face instantly paling.

No time to think further.

He violently drew his treasure sword and blocked.

"Huh~"

"Do you really think you can block this sword?!"

A flicker of disdain passed through Yan Shisan's eyes.

The speed of his sword slash suddenly increased by two-tenths.

Puff!

The sound of steel piercing flesh rang out.

Yuan Tiangang shuddered violently, his eyes snapping wide.

He glanced at the two-thirds of the blade still embedded in his chest.

He looked up at him, utterly incredulous.

His lips twitched twice.

"So... powerful!"

With those words spoken.

As Yan Shisan withdrew his sword.

His entire body collapsed to the ground, utterly lifeless.

At the same moment.

The group of subordinates who had been following him.

Were also swiftly eliminated.

That overwhelming, crushing momentum.

Left Yue Buqun and the others involuntarily gasping for air.

Their faces filled with stunned disbelief.

In their pupils, nothing but intense shock and dread.

Even traces of fear lingered.

"The matter is settled. Mind your own business!"

He sheathed his sword.

Yan Shisan gave Yue Buqun a casual glance.

Leading his subordinates, he turned and left.

Yunzhou, Sword Cottage.

"Let's go. We must head to the Heaven's Assembly."

Having eaten and drunk their fill.

Senior Dugu Jian wiped his mouth and stood up.

That decisive, swift demeanor suggested he was already eager to depart.

"Alright!"

Senior Dugu Qiubai nodded slightly.

"Second brother, don't worry about Xiong Nu. Just guard Wushuang City well."

Watching Senior Dugu Yifang rise to see them off.

Senior Dugu Jian gave him a final instruction.

With the latter's nod, he said no more, launching himself skyward in one swift motion.

Seeing this.

He knew the other wished to test their speed.

Senior Dugu Qiubai's lips curled into a faint smile.

His form shifted, following after him.

At the same moment.

As they set out for the Heaven's Assembly.

Li Taibai and the other two had already silently entered the Heaven's Assembly.

The back mountain waterfall.

Watching Bu Jingyun sit alone beside it, holding a bamboo leaf to his lips and playing.

Li Taibai paused, listened for a few breaths, then nodded thoughtfully.

He picked up his wine gourd and strode over boldly.

Crack!

The music abruptly cut off.

"Who are you? How dare you intrude upon my Tianxia Hui!"

"Aren't you afraid of death?!"

He turned his head expressionlessly and stared at him.

Watching Bu Jingyun spoke coldly.

His words carried not a trace of emotion.

"Death?"

"Hehe~"

"It's just Tianxia Hui—nothing like a dragon's den or tiger's lair!"

Li Taibai paused, then shrugged indifferently.

Then,

Without asking if he was willing, he sat down right beside him.

He asked with a face full of gossiping curiosity.

"Your melody is filled with helplessness and inner conflict."

"Do you no longer wish to seek revenge?"

At these words,

Watching Bu Jingyun was instantly stunned.

He leapt to his feet with a flash.

He glared at him with murderous intent, forcing out his voice through clenched teeth.

"Who the hell are you?!!"

"Does it matter who I am? What matters is—do you still want to seek revenge?!"

Li Taibai laughed heartily and shot back a question.

He paid no heed to the killing intent surging toward him.

"Then die!"

"Cloud-Shattering Palm!!"

Watching Bu Jingyun snorted coldly.

Without another word,

He raised his hands and struck with two palms.

"What the hell!!"

Seeing this, Li Taibai exclaimed in shock.
