Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 416: Chapter 415 Gwu Jihan’s Arrangement

Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng stood in the void, his longsword’s tip colliding with the tip of the hook wielded by Assassination Star. Assassination Star struggled to twist and turn his Black Iron Hook, but was utterly unable to break free even slightly, as if the Black Iron Hook had become permanently fused with the longsword.

Below, the expression of Divine Sovereign Gwu Jihan was one of alarm and dismay. This strike they had planned for so long had no effect, so did the two of them still have any hope of defeating Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng?

”Shameless lowlife, skulking in the shadows, thinking you can harm Ye Mou? Utterly overestimating your abilities!”

With a loud shout, Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng’s longsword danced in his hands, its brilliance pouring down like rain upon Assassination Star.

Assassination Star’s face changed drastically, and with a grit of his teeth, he severed his own right arm that was grasping the Black Iron Hook and swiftly flew backward.

The swath of sword brilliance sliced through the space Assassination Star had just occupied; had he been any slower, it would have definitely chopped him into pieces.

Having escaped with his life, Assassination Star rapidly retreated, not daring to linger there any longer.

Divine Sovereign Gwu Jihan had already withdrawn even earlier. To stay there any longer would simply be a death wish.

Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng sheathed his longsword and did not pursue the two any further, instead, he rapidly flew on his sword toward Beiguan Town.

Long after his departure, Divine Sovereign Gwu Jihan reappeared at Qingyun Mountain Peak. His hair seemed even whiter, and he looked much older.

Assassination Star slowly emerged beside him as well, his appearance quite pitiful without his right arm.

”Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng’s strength is too great. Just the two of us are no match for him!” Assassination Star said somberly, ”Your plan has failed, we should quickly leave!”

”Leave?” Gwu Jihan laughed, ”What’s the rush?”

Assassination Star frowned, ”If we don’t leave now, are we waiting for him to come and kill us?”

”Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng, he won’t survive the night!” Gwu Jihan said coldly.

Assassination Star asked in surprise, ”What do you mean?”

”Haven’t I told you? I have another ally,” Gwu Jihan said softly, ”And this ally has already gone to the May Dragon Head Meeting.”

”Really?” Assassination Star asked, ”Who is this ally? The gap between us and Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng is not small, even with an additional Terrestrial Immortal, it’s still uncertain whether we can be his match!”

Gwu Jihan smiled, ”Don’t worry, the strength of my ally is not much less than that of Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng!”

”Who?” Assassination Star exclaimed, ”Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng is seventh on the Heavenly List!”

”Hehe...” Gwu Jihan chuckled, ”Have you heard of Smiling Buddha?”

”Black-hearted Hand Smiling Buddha?” Assassination Star’s face changed dramatically, ”The seventh on the Evil List? He’s here too?”

Gwu Jihan said, ”Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng once killed a disciple of Smiling Buddha; they’ve had a grudge for a long time! At this May Dragon Head Meeting, I’ve also contacted Smiling Buddha. Otherwise, just the two of us would not be able to contend with Pingbei Province even if we managed to kill Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng!”

Overjoyed, Assassination Star said, ”The Evil List and Heavenly List are comparable in status. The seventh on the Evil List and seventh on the Heavenly List, who is stronger and who is weaker, is still hard to say! With Smiling Buddha personally intervening, along with the two of us, Sword Saint Ye Jiansheng is bound to die!”

...

Beiguan Town, the site of the May Dragon Head Meeting.

Eight-Faced Yama eventually killed that person from the Gwu Family. Of course, he himself also paid a hefty price, being beaten until he vomited blood incessantly. However, he had ultimately spared his own life!

Taking a deep breath, Eight-Faced Yama managed to suppress the roiling qi and blood within his body, ”Master Su, I have already followed your orders, I... I can leave now, right...”

Su Yang smiled faintly and said nothing. Just then, someone from the Gwu Family leapt onto the stage and roared, ”Yan surname, you killed a person of my Gwu Family, and you still expect to leave here alive? Now, I challenge you!”

Eight-Faced Yama’s expression changed drastically. Su Yang’s side might not kill him, but the Gwu Family’s people surely would not let him go either.

”I will not accept any more challenges!” Eight-Faced Yama said at once, ”This fight, I concede!”

”In your dreams!” the person from the Gwu Family bellowed, ”You’ve already killed someone from my Gwu Family. Now you want to concede? That’s impossible!”

Without waiting for Eight-Faced Yama to respond, the Gwu Family member charged at him and attacked with all his might.

Eight-Faced Yama backed away anxiously, shouting, ”I already said I concede, what more do you want?”

”My Gwu Family does not accept your concession!” the member of the Gwu Family shouted, ”Today, either I die on this stage or you die on this stage!”

Eight-Faced Yama broke into a nervous sweat, frantically looking around, but now nobody paid him any heed; even Ghost Blade Mo Qianli would not meet his eye.

Clearly, by killing a member of the Gwu Family, Eight-Faced Yama had thoroughly made an enemy of the Divine Sovereign Gwu Jihan.

The biggest backer of Ghost Blade Mo Qianli was Gwu Jihan. Now that Eight-Faced Yama had become Gwu Jihan’s enemy, how could Mo Qianli help him anymore?

The Gwu Family member was less skilled than Eight-Faced Yama, but Eight-Faced Yama, after all, had just fought a battle and was injured to fight again, his strength had naturally diminished greatly.

The fierce battle lasted nearly half an hour. Despite being severely injured, Eight-Faced Yama managed to fight desperately and flung the Gwu Family member away.

The member of the Gwu Family died on the spot, and Eight-Faced Yama collapsed to the ground, drained of any strength to continue fighting.

”Eight-Faced Yama, I challenge you!” Another from the Gwu Family jumped onto the stage, intending to use a war of attrition to completely kill Eight-Faced Yama.

Eight-Faced Yama’s face was pale, and his eyes filled with despair; he couldn’t even lift a finger anymore. This person could easily kill him if he came over!

Suddenly, Su Yang appeared before Eight-Faced Yama, blocking the Gwu Family member.

The Gwu Family member was stunned for a moment. He had dared to come up only because he saw that Eight-Faced Yama was on his last breath. Unexpectedly, Su Yang had actually come up; what did this mean?

”What are you doing?” the person from the Gwu Family asked in a deep voice.

”I said that if he killed a person from the Gwu Family, I would let him live,” Su Yang said with a faint smile, ”So, this fight, I will take his place!”

As these words were spoken, everyone was astonished. Everyone had thought that Su Yang was going to leave Eight-Faced Yama to die for sure. But now, Su Yang was stepping in to save him; what was the meaning of this?

”This is a matter between my Gwu Family and Eight-Faced Yama; what does it have to do with you!” the member of the Gwu Family yelled, ”By what right do you fight for him?”

”According to the rules of the May Dragon Head Meeting, as long as Eight-Faced Yama is willing, I can fight this battle for him,” Su Yang said with a light laugh, ”Eight-Faced Yama, are you willing for me to take your place in this fight?”

Eight-Faced Yama dared not refuse in the slightest, hastily responding, ”I am willing, I... I am willing...”

Su Yang shrugged his shoulders and laughed, ”Eight-Faced Yama is willing, it seems like there should be no problem with this fight, right!”
