Lady Su’s Revenge

Chapter 431 Befooled wretches

“Senior, the space in the north is recovering faster!”

Su Yang kept staring at and observing the broken hole, and said seriously after confirming several times.

Su Li opened her eyes, put away the mini cave held in her palm, but didn’t move her body. Instead, she looked to the north. Su Yang and Su Mu were slightly confused, but they both changed their looks soon.

A stream of blood-colored light was flying toward them quickly in the sky from the north and stopped not far away from them in a blink of an eye.

After the light dispersed, an icy youth with a pale face appeared. He looked expressionlessly at Su Li and the other two through the broken hole.

Su Yang subconsciously glanced at Su Mu. After sensing the same cold breath, Su Yang couldn’t help but purse his lips to the youth and transmitted his voice to Su Mu, “Blockhead, when did you have a twin brother?”

Su Mu turned his head and ignored him.

After a while of silence, the cold youth could not help but finally spoke fluently in the language of Qingshui Circle.

“Guys from Qingshui Circle, you’ve crossed the border!”

Both Su Yang and Su Mu immediately became astonished, because they were told that the two circles had no communication. How could this guy speak the language of Qingshui Circle?

Su Li seemed not to be surprised. With her soft eyes sparkling, she asked with a smile, “What do you mean that we have crossed the border? Tell me about it.”

When Bai Chen heard that, a trace of killing intention flashed in his eyes. He said with a cold tone, “The two circles made a deal previously. Since you have crossed the border…”

Before he finished his words, the long sword in his hand was turned into a golden radiance and slashed at Su Li’s head after traversing over a hundred feet instantly.

“Go to hell!”

The golden radiance broke out. The killing intention was so obvious!

The hole, which was shrinking, was affected immediately and started to expand.

The enormous pressure emitted by the golden radiance reminded Su Yang and Su Mu of the bloody-shadow practitioner. They both changed their looks and retreated repeatedly with concern rising in their hearts.

The golden radiance was too thick!

This man was much more powerful than the bloody-shadow practitioner. Could Su Jiuzhou deal with him?

Ding!

A crisp clink of swords sounded through the space. Once the swords of Su Li and Bai Chen touched, these two people had to step back several steps before they kept their bodies steady.

Shaking her numb arms gently, Su Li was surprised.

It was the first time that someone was as strong as her in terms of strength. The descendants of the pneuma and blood school were worth their reputation.

Su Li was just slightly surprised, while Bai Chen was shocked.

Could someone from Qingshui Circle cultivate such a physical body as well?

“You want to kill me?”

Su Li said suddenly in a calm tone which made Bai Chen feel cold.

The woman…

“Swish!”

Before Bai Chen responded, waves of ripples were set off in the space and Su Li disappeared in her original place instantly.

“Damn it!”

Bai Chen’s pupils shrunk, and he retreated immediately.

But the flying sword wrapped by dark light cut through the nothingness all the way and slashed from his back without any warning. At the same time, a cold voice echoed in his ears.

“I will not spare anyone who wants to kill me.”

Su Yang grabbed Su Mu’s arm with excitement and his eyes shined, “Blockhead, we really followed a powerful people!! That swing didn’t come with any sword moves, but it’s much better than any moves of someone in the late stage of Yuanying Realm!”

Su Mu helplessly tried to get off Su Yang’s hands but failed. So, he let him but a trace of warmth also flashed in his icy eyes.

Maybe, he chose a right path this time…

The icy edge was about to pierce into Bai Chen’s heart and his death was certain!

The light in Bai Chen’s eyes dimmed down. Master…

“Your Excellency, please show mercy!”

At this very moment, a strange voice sounded in a hurry.

Suddenly, an unknown strength penetrated the nothingness. It hit right on Su Li’s sword and changed its direction. So, it stabbed into Bai Chen’s internal organs but didn’t hurt his heart.

An icy coldness was flooded in Su Li’s eyes. Instantly, her palms moved like a butterfly flying through flowers and then several gestures were put into the flying sword. The flying sword trembled violently and pierced through Bai Chen’s body, leaving a fist-sized hole. And it continued to go ahead and stabbed the crushed nothingness.

“The First Move of Ao Sword Skills, Disintegration!”

Su Yang was dazzled and frightened, “Did Su Jiuzhou finally use her real power? What sword skill was that? What complex gestures! Tsk…”

He scratched his head and felt ashamed for his lack of knowledge for the first time. It really wasn’t that simple to identify Su Jiuzhou’s origin.

“Fall back!”

Su Mu, who was silent all the time, suddenly spoke. He grasped Su Yang and ran away instantly. A deafening boom resounded in the space in the following moments!

“Boom!”

A huge hole, as high as the sky, appeared in the dark and messy nothingness after the explosion. The cracks in the gloomy sky spread quickly. The sturdy middle-aged man who came here hurriedly changed his expression dramatically and sternly shouted,

“Your Excellency! Stop! Are you wishing to kill all the practitioners of Qingshui Circle in this space?”

Su Li continued striking with no expression on her face, “It’s none of my business if they died.”

“… You! Groundless! You, a seventh-grade practitioner, came into the passage. Does Qingshui Circle plan to tear up the agreement unilaterally?”

Su Li remained indifferent as if she did not hear that at all.

The middle-aged man was furious. Seeing that the cracks in the sky were becoming bigger and bigger, he had to soften his tone despite the feeling of grievance in his heart, “Please calm down, your Excellency. Bai Chen did not mean to be your enemy. If you wonder what he meant, I will tell you.”

Just as he finished his words, Su Li paused her movement. In the blink of an eye, she retrieved her sword and stood there without any expressions as if nothing had happened.

And then, the middle-aged man noticed that Su Li’s icy face softened suddenly. She held her fists with a smile, “Thank you very much.”

Not only the middle-aged man did not understand Su Li’s instant expression change, and even Su Yang and Su Mu were also in a daze.

Su Li seemed harmless with a smile on her face and stood in the shattered nothingness without any wounds. The sturdy middle-aged man looked at the girl and felt a little chill. He didn’t have that feeling for many years.

A few moments later, Su Li and the other two followed the sturdy middle-aged man into the camp.

The practitioners in the camp saw that Bai Chen was bleeding and unconscious in the arms of the sturdy middle-aged man. They gathered around and many of them looked at Su Li with hatred in their eyes.

“What are you staring at? Take him to get medical care!”

The sturdy middle-aged man glared at them and scolded sternly. He dispersed the crowd in case that these people upset Su Li again and caused a big fight.

The practitioners stared at Su Li with hatred. But because of the authority of the sturdy middle-aged man, they took Bai Chen in their arms and left obediently.

In the main tent, Su Li and the sturdy middle-aged man sat down face to face. Su Yang and Su Mu took their seats next to them and were a little nervous.

Not everyone could keep calm when they were in the enemies’ camp as Su Li could.

They… didn’t have the courage.

“Bai Chen is not my disciple.”

The sturdy middle-aged man took a deep breath. He stared at Su Li and said in a low voice, “His master was killed by people from Qingshui Circle.

Your circle and mine have always been mortal enemies. I am not asking you for your understanding by saying that. I only hope that you can keep calm, your Excellency. Once this space is broken, it will not good for both sides. You should know that.”

“I don’t know.”

Su Li interrupted him. Her smile was gentle, but it made the sturdy middle-aged man feel frigid, “So, what is the so-called… crossing the border?”

“Didn’t you know it?”

The sturdy middle-aged man glowered at her and raised his tone, “It’s impossible!”

“Nothing is impossible.”

Su Li played with the flying sword and said slowly, “Most of holy sects in Qingshui Circle… have an unsolvable grudge with me. Do you think they will reveal the hidden secrets to me?”

The sturdy middle-aged man changed his expression several times. Although he didn’t say anything, he could not hide the doubt in his eyes.

She had a grudge with most of the holy sects? How could she say that?

Even Su Yang and Su Mu thought that Su Li was sounding him out and had no more thinking.

Su Li laughed helplessly at the situation and said, “Well, it seems that it’s useless to talk with you. The huge vortex outside the camp… if I destroy it, will this circle thoroughly die out?”

The question made the sturdy middle-aged man change his look immediately. He took a deep breath and said slowly, “Your Excellency, keep calm, please. The agreement between the two circles is no secret for people at our level, so I will tell you.”

“A thousand years ago, the passage between the two circles opened. The war between Chimo Circle and Qingshui Circle lasted for hundreds of years. After countless powerful people died, the two circles chose an armistice.

At that time, the grudge between them was so deep that a ceasefire was unimaginable. So, the top men of both sides came up with the arrangement. They agreed to rehabilitate and fight again after a thousand years.

Right now, it is less than five years before restarting the battle.”

Su Li listened quietly and had no intention to speak. Su Yang could not help asking, “How do you explain the existence of this small space?”

The gaze of the sturdy middle-aged man became cold. His friendliness to Su Li was based on her threat, but Su Yang was nobody for him.

However, he couldn’t tell if Su Li had the same question as Su Yang. He only suppressed his anger and asked, “Don’t you guys from Qingshui Circle know the origin of this passage?”

“Bloody Accident of Holy Spirit!”

Su Mu said suddenly with a surprise in his eyes.

The sturdy middle-aged man sneered, “That’s right. It seemed that you have guessed it. It was not the so-called spatial shock to open the passage, but flesh and blood! Flesh and blood from living beings!

No one knew the reason, but the top men in our circle had done tests. Only blood and flesh can stabilize the passage, so… we need people to come in continually and die here. Only in this way, we can get through the last five years!”

“What?”

Su Yang’s heart and mind trembled violently, and he couldn’t look more terrible than now.

Even if he had spoken ill of the holy sect before and said he would betray it, he still had a trace of hope in his heart. After all, the holy sect was the only place where he had a sense of belonging.

But now… Su Yang rubbed his face fiercely. He opened his mouth and wanted to say something, but didn’t know what to say.

While Su Mu had no expression. Since his sister died, he had given up the hope to the holy sect. Knowing what the holy sect had done, he didn’t feel sad, but a sense of relief. He murmured in his heart, “Maybe, I don’t owe them anything…”

The sturdy middle-aged man squinted at the two men and seemed to enjoy their expressions. He said, “Do you know what the biggest difference between Qingshui Circle and Chimo Circle is?”

Without waiting for Su Li’s answer, he smiled and continued, “Our top men in Chimo Circle are straightforward enough. All people coming here knew their ends but were brave to sacrifice their lives! While you… are nothing but a bunch of pathetic wretches who are still befooled until your death!”

Su Li finally smiled as she heard that.
