Chapter 651 - The Eyebrow-Raising Sword is Drawn
Chapter 651 of "Red Heart Patrols the Sky" begins with intriguing events: Human nature is truly strange.Sometimes kindness is seen as weakness, sincerity as foolishness.At least now,... Donât miss it!
Human nature is truly strange.Sometimes kindness is seen as weakness, sincerity as foolishness.
At least now, Jiao Xiong laughed because of this âfoolishness.â
âHow do you think this is, a spat between neighbors?
You speak a few nice words, and they are supposed to let you go?â
Jiang Wang was very troubled.
The moment he entered Chi Yun Mountain, before he had even seen anything, he was already confronting Jiao Xiong, which really didnât fit with his low-profile style of conducting himself.
But Jiao Xiong was determined to find trouble with Lingxiao Pavilion, and they had no choice but to face him.
âWith so many neighbors around, itâs not good to be the subject of ridicule,â Jiang Wang still wanted to try once more.
Jiao Xiong snorted, not even bothering to look at Jiang Wang anymore.
Instead, he turned his gaze to Ye Qingyu: âMiss Ye, how about you come over to my side?
Iâll share a portion of the final gains from Chi Yun Mountain with you.â
Ye Qingyuâs smile was serene and elegant, âDoes Chi Yue have no objections?â
Jiao Xiongâs tone was domineering, âI call the shots on everything.â
The woman named Chi Yue, who was the heir to Green Cloud Pavilion, managed to force a smile, appearing to be disciplined and obedient.
Ye Qingyu didnât express any opinion, merely looking mischievously at Jiang Wang, âHow about it, sir, what do you think?â
Jiang Wang said with a distressed expression, âThis doesnât seem quite proper, right?â
Jiao Xiong reached out and casually pushed aside, and the Cloud Roaming Elder very cooperatively âscootedâ away.
He faced Jiang Wang directly, âCome on then, announce your name.
I, Jiao Xiong, do not kill nameless individuals!â
His posture seemed as though he was ready to take action immediately.
Jiao Xiong had the confidence to dominate everyone, otherwise, he wouldnât have targeted everyone from the start, but it was naturally better if he could defeat them one by one.
Jiang Wang, helpless but polite, bowed slightly, âSure thing, I am Dugu Invincible.â
He didnât want to make a name for himself in front of people from Yong Country or Cheng Country, and he had already used the name Zhang Linchuan once in Wangjiang City.
He was worried that some curious minds might connect the dots, affecting Lingxiao Pavilion.
So he decided to use the name Dugu Invincible.
Jiao Xiong replied coldly, âThatâs a bold claim!â
Jiang Wang continued to sigh, âI canât blame myself for my parentsâ grand ambitions.â
âDonât your parents know that humble names are easier to live up to?
With your name, I fear you wonât live long!â
Jiao Xiong might not really look down on Jiang Wang, but since he was targeting him, provoking the opponent was clearly a tried-and-true strategy.
Jiang Wang pretended to have an epiphany, âIs that why youâre called âEr Gouziâ?â
Jiao Xiong intended to provoke Jiang Wang, but it was he who became angry first.
His step quickened, almost ready to start a fight.
However, at this moment on Chi Yun Mountain, the faint sound of a bell suddenly echoed.
Ding~ Ding~
The bell rang abruptly and then faded quietly.
Everyone knew that something was changing on Chi Yun Mountain.
Jiao Xiong didnât rush up the mountain immediately, but he still blocked the path, not allowing others to go up first.
On the surface, he scorned all opponents and had sufficient confidence, but in reality, he maintained his caution, mainly for the Cloud Roaming Elder.
In his view, Dugu Invincible was the weakest and least capable.
The lean man who had come on behalf of Lingkong Temple seemed eager to try and must have some strength.
The Cloud Roaming Elder, mysterious and aloof on his own, was the one to be most vigilant about.
Of course, they were all flawed comparably and could not possibly be as strong as the opponents he had encountered in Yong Country.
Although he still regarded Jiang Wang with cold eyes, he was also observing the others, âYou should know, lowly people should use lowly names!â
Jiang Wang replied sincerely, âPlease donât speak that way about yourself.â
He might not be able to out-argue Zhongxuan Sheng, Xu Xiang Qian, or Ku Jue, but having been influenced by them for a long time, he was certainly not weak.
This infuriated Jiao Xiong so much that a vein pulsed on his forehead.
Even though he was preoccupied with other matters, at this moment, he found it hard to contain his anger.
The heiress of Green Cloud Pavilion, Chi Yue, said in a high-pitched voice, âJiao Xiong is a genius ranked among the top fifteen youth of Yong Country!
Who are you to speak to him with such an attitude?â
This woman seemed to speak without thinking.
Jiang Wang couldnât be bothered to respond, turning to Ye Qingyu instead, âIs the fifteenth-ranked young genius of Yong Country very strong?â
Ye Qingyu, struggling to hold back laughter, answered earnestly, âAll I know is the second-ranked genius of Yong Country was defeated by Zhu Weiwo from Zhuang Country in Irredeemable City, despite a two-on-one advantage.â
âOh~~,â Jiang Wangâs elongated response trailed off, heavy with implication.
But before Jiao Xiongâs face could turn completely dark, he drew back the tail of his words with a cold glance, âJiao Fifteen, are you going to make a move or not?
If youâre not going to fight, donât block my way up the mountain.â
The bell of Chi Yun Mountain had rung, and Jiang Wang had no interest in playing along with Jiao Xiong any longer.
After all, this man was really too shameless to take a hint.
âI am Jiao Xiong!â Jiao Xiong glared fiercely at Cloud Roaming Elder and the two from Lingxiao Hall, his gaze meant to intimidate, hoping to dissuade them from sneaking up Chi Yun Mountain, then he glared back at Jiang Wang, âIf youâre looking to die, donât be in such a rush!â
He didnât know what he was waiting for, always blustering but never taking action.
Jiang Wang was too lazy to wait any longer.
His eyebrows lifted as his sword left its sheath!
There was a sound like the cutting of the wind beside his ear,
And a streak of light that flashed before his eyes.
Longing leaped out from beneath the waterâs surface.
He was so fast his movements were no longer visible, and both he and Longing seemed to appear in front of Jiao Xiong.
It seemed as though Jiang Wang had simply thrust forward gently.
The tip of the sword fell like a setting sun!
The sword of an old soldier in his twilight was the most tragic and decisive among the swords of the human path.
Once the sword was thrust, it was beyond redemption.
Jiao Xiong was a formidable fighter from the Three Mansions, a twenty-one-year-old genius, no doubt.
A genius like Zhang Linchuan, who was only able to open four mansions when he was in Fenglin City.
Facing Jiang Wangâs sudden thrust, Jiao Xiong also drew his sword.
His sword was heavy and broad, a slash like a great river; the surging current unstoppable.
It collided with Longing.
The force of the sword driven by the Three Mansions was instantly shattered by the twilight sword of the old soldier!
His sword was not like Longing, his swordâs momentum not like the old soldierâs twilight.
His Tongtian Palace was far less imposing than Jiang Wangâs.
His Heaven and Earth Lonely Island was far less expansive than Jiang Wangâs.
Although he had opened three mansions, the sum of the rooms carved inside these three Inner Mansions did not even reach three thousand!
In the void, two pitch-black chains like Jiao Dragons burrowed out, instantly binding the panicked Jiao Xiong.
The Body-Binding Chain temporarily shackled all of Jiao Xiongâs resistance.
Longing pierced through, smashing through the Tongtian Palace and the three Inner Mansions, extinguishing Jiao Xiongâs life force.
Back when he was in the Ascending Dragon Realm, Jiang Wang, in cooperation with Zhongxuan Sheng, had killed the Prefectural Governor of Sunshine County who had opened two mansions.
Although it was a surprise attack and the governor was indeed old, how much stronger was Jiang Wang now than then?
Jiang Wang had even fought Hai Zongming, the peak powerhouse of the Outer Building, to the death.
Facing the likes of Jiao Xiong, an ordinary Inner Mansion practitioner, he felt absolutely no pressure.
If he didnât act, he abstained; once he acted, he killed cleanly.
Chi Yue of Green Cloud Pavilion was shocked beyond words, as she could never have imagined that Jiao Xiong, who should have suppressed all opponents before these minor country cultivators, would die so simply.
For her, Jiao Xiong was merely a tool she had deceived for use.
If he hadnât died now, she would have found a way to kill him later.
But she certainly couldnât have killed him this easily!
This man known as Dugu Invincible was too strong!
She quickly decided to join forces with the other two parties, vying for a glimmer of victory.
But after Jiang Wang killed Jiao Xiong, he did not hesitate at all; with a flick of his wrist, a shadow of a whip lashed out!
âArenât the three of you going to help?!
At this rate, weâll all be killed!â Chi Yue grabbed the whip, shouting urgently.
But as soon as she grasped it, something felt off.
That wasnât a whip but⌠a rope?
The Dragon-Binding Rope wrapped around her instantly, binding Chi Yue on the spot into a bundle.
The Dragon-Binding Rope, a treasure even Hai Zongming relied upon, was extremely useful even against the strong warriors of the Outer Building.
Its specialty was that upon touch it ensnared; those unaware could easily fall victim.
Bound on the spot, Chi Yueâs tumultuous figure was even more emphasised by the Dragon-Binding Rope.
She writhed on the ground, instantly changing her tune, panting seductively, âYoung Master Dugu, perhaps there has been a misunderstanding.
Green Cloud Pavilion is willing toâŚâ
The Longsword swept across, and her beautiful head rolled to the ground.
