464: Chapter 465 Let’s Go Together 464: Chapter 465 Let’s Go Together Editor: Exodus Tales All eyes were glued to the battle between Lu Mingshu and Kou Wei.
The previous fight with Fang Zhen had already been astonishing enough; this one was no less impressive.
Moreover, when dealing with Fang Zhen, Lu Mingshu had been sowhat passive.
On the surface, it seed like Fang Zhen had always been suppressing her, not revealing how formidable she was.
But in this battle, Lu Mingshu had no intention of holding back.
The sharpness of her sword light, even if not at full strength, seed to be at least eighty percent.
At this mont, Hua Manxi attacked again.
No one took it seriously, as they were already accustod to Kou Wei being the main combatant with Hua Manxi as support.
The thin vine reached out once more, curling toward Lu Mingshu.
A plain and unremarkable move, just like before.
No one noticed that sothing seed to be hidden within the vine.
Hua Manxi was thrilled, eyes fixed on the vine, silently urging: “Draw your sword, show your sword again!”
Seeing a streak of light flying over, Hua Manxi’s excitent reached its peak.
Good, she had taken the bait!
As long as her sword touched this object, she would…
“Ding!” A slight sound interrupted Hua Manxi’s fantasy, and then a few points of starlight flew over, leading several fine strands of golden light that danced in a graceful arc and suddenly, wrapped tightly around his sword.
“Snap!
Snap!” Two consecutive sounds, and Hua Manxi’s sword suddenly snapped.
Hua Manxi was shocked and didn’t have ti to see who had made the move before he was hurriedly retracting his sword.
At that mont, the starlight arrived again, this ti aiming not at his sword but directly at him.
Those few points of starlight seed so weak, as if they posed no threat, yet in the blink of an eye, they were upon him.
Hua Manxi felt a chilling coldness over his body.
Even though he knew he had to dodge, the starlight was unbelievably fast.
His body simply refused to obey, and just as he attempted to make an evasive move, the starlight reached him, quickly circling around him and binding him tightly.
“Ah!” A cry of pain rang out.
“Hua Shidi!” Kou Wei couldn’t bother with Lu Mingshu, turning back to rescue.
Before his water dragon could sweep over, the starlight flashed back with several sounds of “poof!
poof!” and blood-red flowers exploded over Hua Manxi’s body.
Kou Wei’s water dragon wrapped around him and just managed to catch him.
He held Hua Manxi, glaring at the person who had intervened.
On the other stone pillar stood Xie Lianzhen, who had been watching quietly as a bystander, hands clasped behind his back, rhythmically tapping his jade fan against his palm.
He wore a gentle smile, and his voice was soft, but the words he spoke were far from polite: “Did you ask before trying to ambush her?”
Since Xie Lianzhen had arrived at the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, others’ impressions of him had been twofold.
First, this Gentleman Lian Zhen was truly handso; had it not been for a previous leg ailnt, he might have been famous worldwide much earlier.
Secondly, though an esteed Gentleman Lian Zhen, he revolved around Lu Mingshu, allowing her to command him; he seed to lack any charisma.
Therefore, although they knew he had reached Entering Harmonization Realm, they hadn’t taken it seriously.
Lu Mingshu was like a fierce tiger showing her claws, but was he just a re cat?
However, that sudden, thunderous exchange a mont ago felt like a bucket of cold water poured over their heads, awakening them to the realization that this Gentleman Lian Zhen was not rely a cat.
Hua Manxi, ranking fifth among the ten great disciples of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, might not compare with Kou Wei and Fang Zhen, but was still a notable figure in Beiming.
Yet in his hands, one move broke his weapon, two moves drew blood, leaving no room for counterattack.
Everyone realized that this was also soone who wielded secret thods.
Since Lu Mingshu was this strong, how much weaker could he be?
“Gentleman Lian Zhen,” Kou Wei pressed his lips together, his voice icy, “Isn’t your behavior exactly what’s called an ambush?”
Xie Lianzhen snorted with a laugh, snapped open his fan with a flick, and extended it forward: “And what’s this?
The upbringing of the Heavenly Sea Pavilion is truly impressive!”
Everyone focused their gaze and saw a faint silver light swirling on the fan.
Upon closer inspection, there was also a vague hint of black energy.
This…
seed to be poison?
Xie Lianzhen casually turned the fan upside down, the rolling silver light forming into a thin stream and dripping to the ground.
With just a “sizzle,” black smoke rose, corroding the ground.
The stage they stood on, built by the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, was made of specially crafted stone bricks, extraordinarily hard.
The stone bricks could be corroded, showing just how toxic this substance was.
Kou Wei’s face changed several tis.
It wasn’t that martial practitioners of Beiming couldn’t use poison; so aristocratic families did inherit toxic arts.
However, hiding poison within a technique and doing it so covertly was hardly honorable.
Lu Mingshu did not have a mortal vendetta with the Heavenly Sea Pavilion, nor was this a life-and-death battle.
Such a lethal poison could indeed claim lives.
Hua Manxi struggled to rise, angrily saying: “That’s right, I did use poison.
But this poison I personally gathered from the sea and refined it into my sword, what’s wrong with using it against an enemy?”
“Oh, no problem at all,” Xie Lianzhen smiled, “then what’s wrong with intercepting it?”
“…”
It seed there really was no problem.
Accusing him of interfering in the duel?
Originally, they were two against one, which wasn’t fair to begin with.
Kou Wei said: “Let this matter rest.
Since Gentleman Lian Zhen has stepped in, are you not planning to remain a bystander?”
Xie Lianzhen smiled leisurely: “Do you think I ca to the Heavenly Sea Pavilion for no reason?
Like I said before, if you want to touch her, ask first.”
At this point, what else was there to say?
Kou Wei was not one to linger on formalities.
His gaze turned cold as he said with a harsh tone: “Then let’s go!
I’ll ask Gentleman Lian Zhen for guidance!”
Lu Mingshu, who had been silent until now, curled her lips and said: “No need for such trouble.
Why don’t you all co at once?”
As soon as this was said, there was a clamor.
On the land bridge, soone was indignant: “This Lu Mingshu, isn’t she too arrogant?”
“Exactly!
Setting aside Hua Manxi’s incident, she’s looking down on people too much.”
But soone ekly said: “But, looking at the current situation, if they don’t all co at once, it seems none of them are her match…”
Those who heard this couldn’t help but fall silent.
These words couldn’t be refuted.
The Heavenly Sea Pavilion’s ten great disciples had already been dealt with, leaving only Kou Wei, and it currently seed unlikely they would defeat her.
The other elite who entered the Five Dragon Mystic Water formation couldn’t compare to the ten great disciples, could they?
Ling Wuxia wasn’t stronger than Kou Wei either!
Not to ntion with Xie Lianzhen added…
“You talk too much!” The person speaking was knocked on the head by their own master.
Yet, no matter how unwilling they were, the facts were the facts.
“Indeed, it saves much trouble,” Xie Lianzhen smiled on the stone pillar, “If we join forces and you don’t all co at once, it seems there’s no chance.
One should always leave others so hope, shouldn’t they?”
Bah!
Who knew how many people cursed inwardly.
Leave them so hope?
He had the gall to say that!
The way Lu Mingshu acted, she didn’t leave any room, from Dai Jingyu’s incident onwards, each step more arrogant than the last.
Calling it utter annihilation wouldn’t be far off!
Was this Gentleman Lian Zhen brainwashed?
How could he be so utterly devoted to Lu Mingshu?
What a waste of such a good appearance!
