The Heaven-Subduing Pavilion sent its deputy pavilion master, whose sect was no weakling; in fact, he could be considered second only to the three major powers.
This is a dangerous sign.
It will attract many people who will come to kill him by following his scent!
For example, this guy right now!
Hong Jian and the others from the Heaven-Subduing Pavilion were so focused on their conversation that they didn't even notice the Gu Yu not far away.
Gu Yu quietly moved to the corner.
To stumble upon such a major murder while simply walking down the street—that's incredibly thrilling!
He had barely moved when Hong Jian noticed him!
Hong Jian stared at him with wolf-like eyes!
Gu Yu chuckled and said, "Haha, I'm just an innocent passerby. I didn't see anything, so just pretend nothing happened!"
Hong Jian said, "Unfortunately, none of what you're talking about exists."
"So what do you want?"
"I'll kill you!"
"What the hell? They'd kill an innocent bystander to cover it up? Don't they have any conscience?"
Gu Yu shouted, turned around, and ran away.
Hong Jian lightly touched the ground with his toes and flew towards him like a tiger descending the mountain!
A murderous aura filled the heavens and earth!
Hong Jian's cultivation level is at the Peak God Emperor!
Gu Yu was only at the Early Divine Saint; there was still a vast difference between the two!
Gu Yu understood the principle of running away when you can't win, so he ran as fast as he could. Although he didn't actually fight, for some people, you knew you couldn't win without even trying...
Hong Jian drew his sword with a whoosh, the blade transforming into a streak of light as it slashed diagonally towards Gu Yu!
At the same time!
A streak of silver-blue light swept in!
Light and shadow are also a sword!
Little Sword!
bite!
The Little Sword's blade pierced through the Hong Jian, shattering it into countless pieces and turning it into dust on the ground!
A figure in a green robe suddenly appeared.
Hong Jian frowned deeply!
The next second!
Xie Feng twisted his wrist, cleaved with his sword, and the sword light burst forth with dazzling cold air, killing Hong Jian with a single strike!
Hong Jian is dead!
The people from the Heaven-Subduing Pavilion were dumbfounded.
Gu Yu saw them, then glanced at Hong Jian, and spat at the latter's corpse. "Assassinating your opponent before even starting the fight, what a despicable tactic!"
Xie Feng said, "You haven't come back for half a day. I was worried something had happened to you. Sure enough, you went to watch the show again?"
Gu Yu said, "Master, I swear, I really didn't watch the show... I turned the corner and saw that this guy from the Sword Gate assassinated the Vice Pavilion Master of the Heaven-Subduing Pavilion!"
Xie Feng glanced at the corpse of the deputy sect leader in the distance, his face expressionless, and simply said, "Since you're alright, let's go."
"Etc!"
A disciple from the Heaven-Subduing Pavilion called out to him.
Xie Feng turned around, and his disciple's face showed some tension. " Hong Jian killed our Vice Pavilion Master. You killed Hong Jian, so you are our Heaven-Subduing Pavilion's benefactor. May I ask your name, benefactor?!"
Xie Feng said, "I'm helping my own people; it's none of your business."
With that, he and Gu Yu left.
The disciple from the Heaven-Subduing Pavilion shook his head with a wry smile, "Is this the demeanor of a true powerhouse...?"
"Senior brother! I suddenly feel like I've seen those two people somewhere before..."
A junior female student behind me said.
The disciple hurriedly asked, "Junior sister, have you seen them before?"
The junior sister blinked her round eyes. "I sneaked out to play this morning and saw the Thunder Sect fighting with an unknown sect at the Carefree Inn, and the Thunder Sect even got the short end of the stick! That Lei Xiang had his hand broken by that handsome guy in the green robe, and even the Thunder Sect's Grand Elder didn't dare say anything when he came over!"
The disciple was shocked. "To be able to sever Thunder Sect disciple's hand and still prevent Elder Lei Lian from getting angry... this is simply unbelievable!"
Others said, "Who are they?!"
The junior sister said, "The handsome guy in the green robe is called Xie Feng, and the handsome young man next to him is called Gu Yu. As for their sects, I haven't found out yet."
" Xie Feng..."
The disciple stared at the now-deserted area ahead and muttered, "It seems someone is destined to forge a legend in the Soul Battle..."
At that moment, an old man appeared. He saw the deputy pavilion master's corpse and rushed over, trembling with rage!
"What... what happened?! How could the Vice Pavilion Master be dead?!"
"Reporting to the Pavilion Master, it was the Sword Gate, Hong Jian who killed him!"
"Damn it, isn't this bullying?! This sect leader must..."
The old man trembled with rage. He was about to utter some harsh words when he turned his head and saw the corpse of the culprit Hong Jian, lying not far away, already dead.
The old man was dumbfounded.
He couldn't recall any of his disciples having the ability to kill Hong Jian...
"How did he die?" The pavilion master was greatly surprised.
" Xie Feng killed him!"
" Xie Feng? Is he the group that clashed with the Thunder Sect?"
It was him!
"Remember this name. If you encounter his people during tomorrow's Soul Battle, do your best to avoid casualties!"
"Understood!"
The sect leader left with the deputy sect leader's body and his disciples.
Hong Jian's body lay on the road, gradually growing cold and stiff; no one came to claim it.
Onlookers gradually gathered around.
As the crowd grew larger, some sharp-eyed individuals noticed that he was one of the Twin Swords of the Sword Gate, and his death came as a great surprise.
After a while.
A man dressed in black appeared silently.
Sword Gate, Shi Jian!
He trembled with rage when he saw Hong Jian's corpse.
"Who? Who killed you?"
He gritted his teeth and whispered, his sharp eyes fixed on the wounds on Hong Jian's body.
Shi Jian's eyes widened. "This wound... the person who killed him must possess a Universe Level sword! There aren't many people in this city who possess Universe Level sword!"
"Lord Shi Jian, I know who killed Lord Hong Jian!"
One person in the crowd raised their hand.
He said, "I am a disciple of Wind and Snow Mountain. The group that killed Hong Jian was the one that had a conflict with the Thunder Sect. One of them, dressed in flamboyant clothes, seemed to be named Gu Yu. He appeared here! Lord Shi Jian, please remember that I am from Wind and Snow Mountain. Tomorrow is the Soul Battle, so please show mercy..."
Xie Feng!
Blood vessels instantly appeared in Shi Jian's eyes.
As the Twin Swords, he and Hong Jian have always been the pride of the Sword Gate Sect.
Now that Hong Jian has been killed, the killer can be said to have completely disregarded the Sword Gate, one of the three major powers in the north. This is a huge act of contempt and provocation!
He is extremely angry.
But after calming down and thinking about it, Gu Yu knew that the incident involving Xie Feng and Thunder Sect that morning had instantly swept across the entire city.
He even sent someone to investigate Xie Feng and the others.
Of course, nothing was found.
These are things that only subordinates observe with their own eyes and hearsay.
As far as he knew, this Gu Yu jade was only at the Initial Divine Saint, and it was impossible for it to kill Hong Jian, Peak God Emperor.
If Gu Yu doesn't work, there are still people who can!
That was Xie Feng, whose cultivation was unassuming, and A Ling, who looked like an extraordinary person!
One of these two must have killed Hong Jian!
"I will definitely... seek justice for Hong Jian!..." Shi Jian gritted his teeth, his hatred for Xie Feng reaching the point of being bone-deep.
Away from the crowd, a man in a moon-white robe stood with his arms crossed, leaning against a wall, watching the spectacle.
The crowd soon dispersed, and he turned and left.
