"I don't understand what you're talking about! I'm a businessman. Whoever gives me materials, I do business with them. Now you're asking me about your brother's death? How the fuck would I know!"
Feng San roared.
Chen Xian narrowed her eyes. "Still talking tough when you're about to die!"
Feng San had more or less caught his breath and immediately cursed, "Tough, my fucking ass!" He turned and ran.
Chen Xian snorted coldly.
In an instant, she crossed several meters, her overwhelming presence bearing down on Feng San from behind.
Her five fingers clenched into a fist, and she punched.
The fierce, surging wind lashed across Feng San's back like a whip, and his expression changed drastically.
He knew perfectly well that he was no match for Chen Xian.
Twisting around, he sent several poisoned darts flying.
But Chen Xian dodged them effortlessly. In the blink of an eye, her murderous fist closed in on Feng San's face.
Feng San went deathly pale.
"***!"
At that critical moment.
"Boom!"
A sudden saber strike slashed toward Chen Xian's head like racing thunder.
The wind cut like a blade. A thin spray of blood instantly burst from Chen Xian's face, tracing an arc through the air.
Her expression changed. She summoned her longsword and raised it to block.
Though her counter was swift, the impact still forced her half a step back.
"It's you?!"
Once she saw who had come, Chen Xian's expression instantly filled with shock and uncertainty.
Feng San froze too. "Shuguang? You!"
He could hardly imagine that Lin Shuguang could force Chen Xian, a martial artist, back with a single saber strike.
Could Shuguang's cultivation already have...!
His eyes widened as he looked at Lin Shuguang in disbelief.
Lin Shuguang pulled him up, his gaze calm. "Can you still manage?"
Feng San paused, then came to his senses. "I'm fine. It only hurt the bone. I'll recover in a few days."
As he spoke, he glanced back. "Did Teacher come?"
Hearing that, Chen Xian immediately grew wary as well.
A martial artist of Song Shi's caliber was absolutely beyond her ability to fight. If he had come too, she would undoubtedly die here!
"No, just me," Lin Shuguang said casually.
Feng San was dumbfounded and hurriedly signaled him with his eyes. "Go! She's a martial artist! Go get Teacher. I'll hold her off... If I die, ask Teacher to avenge me!"
He was about to charge forward when Lin Shuguang stopped him with one hand.
"No need. I'll handle this woman."
With that, Lin Shuguang walked straight past the stunned Feng San.
Learning that Song Shi had not come, Chen Xian relaxed inwardly, but she was also deeply enraged. She had never been so frightened before.
"Were you the one who killed my brother?"
The next second, her answer was a vicious saber strike from Lin Shuguang, without a single wasted word.
In an instant, Lin Shuguang crossed several meters and appeared before Chen Xian.
His heavy presence loomed like a towering mountain, a powerful aura bursting forth. Chen Xian's expression shifted slightly, but she still snorted coldly, sneering at Lin Shuguang for overestimating himself.
She thrust her sword.
Both she and her sword dissolved into countless afterimages beneath the night sky, accompanied by countless piercing blasts of wind.
One wielding a saber and the other a sword, the two darted about amid countless rolling waves of air.
The sight had already left Feng San dumbstruck.
"Is this really Lin Shuguang???"
"Shhk!"
Saber met sword, scattering countless sparks.
Two immense forces slammed into each other.
Chen Xian's expression changed again.
She had actually underestimated Lin Shuguang's strength.
The sinews, bones, and flesh along the right half of her body all shuddered in that instant.
Lin Shuguang was incredibly fast. The next instant, he slashed at Chen Xian's left shoulder.
The blood seeping through her clothes looked like uncanny flower petals in the darkness, strikingly conspicuous.
Lin Shuguang remembered clearly. This injury had probably come from Song Shi. No wonder he had said she would not dare cause trouble for a while. Her strength must have been severely diminished now!
Realizing all this, Lin Shuguang's eyes lit up, and the light of his saber flared even more fiercely.
He slashed straight at Chen Xian's left arm!
"You're courting death!"
Fury surged through Chen Xian, and the longsword in her hand danced wildly.
Piercing winds shrieked, and cold light filled his vision.
Watching, Feng San could not help swallowing. He dared say this swordsmanship alone would utterly crush Ye Tianhao on the spot!
Lin Shuguang and Chen Xian's figures shifted rapidly in the darkness.
The countless gusts of force pouring out surged like floodwaters. Watching them, Feng San fled several hundred meters away and hid behind a tree, trembling with fear.
"Crack!"
Chen Xian suddenly turned deathly pale. Caught off guard, she took Lin Shuguang's saber pressing against her sword, and the blow sent her flying.
"Pfft-"
She spat out a mist of blood.
Chen Xian's face was so pale that not a trace of color remained.
She had originally intended to capture Feng San tonight and force him to reveal the true culprit who had killed her brother.
She had never expected Lin Shuguang, who had suddenly appeared, to be this powerful.
Under ordinary circumstances, she would naturally have had no fear.
With a mere turn of her hand, she could have left this little bastard unable to live or die.
Damn it, Song Shi had not given her the antidote!
Now, under Lin Shuguang's relentless pressure, the poison had actually erupted on the spot.
"You were definitely the one who killed my brother! Just you wait. I swear I'll kill you!"
Chen Xian stared at Lin Shuguang with hatred all over her face. Biting the tip of her tongue to force herself alert, she got up and ran.
Staying where she was in her current condition would be no different from leaving herself at someone else's mercy.
Now that she knew who the killer was, once she recovered from her injuries, she would cut this little bastard into a thousand pieces!
"Naive!"
Lin Shuguang's cold voice drifted through the air. He instantly stamped forward with explosive force, sending clouds of dust erupting beneath his feet.
In an instant, he appeared before Chen Xian and slashed down to intercept her.
Like a river of stars pouring down, the saber light blotted out the sky.
This was Lin Shuguang's first time using [Thunderous Star River Slash]. The instant he unleashed it, the ferocity within his heart was fully awakened.
His eyes brimmed with killing intent, seeming to radiate the vicious light of a demonic god.
Boom, boom, boom, boom, boom!
Amid the exploding waves of air, Chen Xian's face filled with horror.
What kind of saber technique was this?!
Before she could roar in fury, the fierce wind blasted her backward. She grunted, her face instantly flushing red as scalding saber force like fiery sparks poured into her internal organs and battered them violently.
Had she not been injured, she would never have been hampered to the point of being unable to withstand even this strike.
Yet that was precisely the reality.
Her eyes stretched wide enough to split!
Under the injuries striking her from within and without, the bones throughout her body nearly fell apart.
Time seemed to stop.
Lin Shuguang and Chen Xian hung in midair, staring straight at each other.
Unlike their first meeting that day, Lin Shuguang's eyes now shone with ferocity, while Chen Xian was utterly horrified, without a trace of composure left.
"Shhk!"
Chen Xian watched helplessly as Lin Shuguang's saber pierced her body.
The next instant.
Their bodies plummeted like meteors.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
Countless clods of earth exploded into the air, and bricks and stones scattered.
With Lin Shuguang's saber piercing her body, Chen Xian was dragged along the ground.
Crash!
A towering tree beside the road snapped on the spot and came crashing down.
The trail of blood left by their slide looked chilling in the darkness.
The brutal, domineering sight had left Feng San completely stunned.
His eyes fixed on Lin Shuguang's back, and he could not help swallowing.
"I... can't accept this..."
Chen Xian coughed up blood, clutching the saber at her chest as she glared fixedly at Lin Shuguang.
Lin Shuguang looked down at her. "I killed your brother."
Chen Xian's eyes bulged. She gripped the large saber embedded in her chest, letting Lin Shuguang's blade slice through the flesh of her hands until white bone showed and blood streamed down.
Lin Shuguang looked at her expressionlessly. "He took advantage of my weakness and used me as bait. In the end, I killed him instead. Before he died, he told me he couldn't accept it, just like you."
"Are you satisfied with that answer?"
"He was my brother! My own flesh and blood!" Chen Xian roared savagely, her face covered in blood.
Lin Shuguang wasted no words.
He pulled out his saber and slashed down with a reverse swing.
"What the fuck does that have to do with me!"
Beneath the cold moonlight, Chen Xian died with her eyes still open...
Those who killed would, in turn, be killed!
