Bone Changer: Dragon Supreme - C45

Yu Lin Hundred Flowers Sect Leader, Gu Ming.

Hearing this, Jiang Shuo narrowed his eyes.

He had been in the sect for a long time, and the Sect Leader was very elusive. Not to mention his appearance, even his name was first heard by Jiang Shuo.

“The ancient sect leader has been in closed-door training recently, so he doesn’t care about what’s going on inside the sect. Naturally, you won’t be able to see him.” Seeing the confusion in Jiang Shuo’s eyes, Feng En answered, “The ancient sect master’s internal energy is deep and his martial arts is exquisite. Among them is a sacred art called the Indra Claw, where the claw is formless and very powerful.”

Jiang Shuo thought to himself, so that’s how it is. As for the reason, it is also very obvious.

If Gu Ming was the murderer, why would Feng En cooperate with the investigation of the Dream Red Chamber? Moreover, the goal of the Hundred Flowers Sect was to save the dying and help the wounded.

“Then master, I’ll go to the Dream Red Tower first.” Jiang Shuo placed the thin piece of paper in his pocket, planning to look at the names one by one when he had time.

“Oh, that’s right. Sun Daoming is currently investigating the Dreamland Pavilion. You have to be careful of him.” Before leaving, Feng En added. Although he knew that Jiang Shuo’s list of Sun Daoming’s misdeeds was the truth, but without solid evidence, he couldn’t blame him.

Jiang Shuo frowned, casually saying that he understood, and didn’t take it to heart. He didn’t believe that after the previous lesson, Sun Daoming would still act as he had before.

Ten disciples had died in one go, so Ren Menghong could not hide the fact that all of them were dead.

On the side of the imperial government, the yamen runners were also involved. Guests who heard the news were afraid that they would meet with misfortune, so they no longer came to the Dream Red Chamber to play.

After going through a period of customers running their businesses in groups of twos and threes, Meng Hong Lou decided to use the refurbishment to temporarily close down her business for a few days. Previously, the murderer knew the whereabouts of his dead disciple very well. It was very possible that he had disguised himself to sneak into the customer to gather information.

With the door sealed, Jiang Shuo walked around to the back yard, where two female disciples stood by the back door and stopped him. “Who is it?”

“I’m Jiang Shuo from the Hundred Flowers Sect, I’m here to pay my respects …” Jiang Shuo was about to introduce himself when a voice came from behind the door, “Let him in.”

“Yes, OP.” The gatekeeping disciples retreated to the sides, opening up a path.

Jiang Shuo walked into the yard, and Liu Ruyan came out of the house, looking a little sad. “You just got off the ground not too long ago, why don’t you lie in bed for a while?”

“I heard that something happened and I immediately rushed over.” Jiang Shuo went straight to the point, “I want to go take a look.”

“Alright.” “Yes,” Liu Ruyan responded, then personally led Jiang Shuo to the scene, “These ten disciples went to the Wang family in the south of the city to celebrate their birthday. When they came back, they encountered an ambush.”

This was the corner of a street, and the corpse had already been moved away. If it wasn’t for the faint traces of blood on the wall, it would have been unimaginable for a massacre to have occurred here a few days ago.

Jiang Shuo carefully examined the surroundings, from the afternoon until dusk, he did not discover anything. When the plague broke out, the plague spread like wildfire. It was an eventful season, and before the sky had turned dark, the residents had already gone home and locked their doors. This place was located in the depths of the streets, and was extremely remote. Other than the people from Dream Red Tower and Jiang Shuo, no one could be seen.

“Jiang Shuo, let’s go back.” Liu Ruyan said as she saw the faint twilight filling the air.

Jiang Shuo frowned, still unwilling to give up, but his vision was affected and he could only agree.

“Hua la —” Just as they turned around to take a step, the tiles above their heads shattered, creating a loud sound. It was exceptionally ear-piercing within the quiet alleyway.

“Who is it!” The Dream Red Chamber disciple beside Liu Ruyan immediately shouted out. The division of labor was clear; two of them stayed behind to protect Liu Ruyan while the other two jumped up and went to the roof to check on the situation.

The two disciples of Dream Red Chamber jumped halfway. Huala huala huala sounds came from afar and grew closer and closer, becoming faster and faster. Soon after, a black shadow carrying two or three broken tiles fell down from the roof. The two people who were nervous did not say anything further. One of them threw out a palm attack and it was heavily thrown out.

Jiang Shuo’s heart skipped a beat. He vaguely felt that the shadow looked familiar, but the light was dim and its movements were fast, so he couldn’t see clearly. On the other side, Liu Ruyan’s eyes narrowed as she called out, “Stop.”

Pulling the bow, they did not turn around to shoot. Although they heard Liu Ruyan’s call, they were still in midair. Once they shot out their moves, they were no longer able to retract them. At that critical moment, Liu Ruyan raised her hand. The silk cloth on her shoulders shot out like arrows and covered the black shadow before the two of them could react. Then, with a slight shake of her wrist, the silk wrapped around the shadow like floating clouds.

When the shadow landed on the ground, Jiang Shuo couldn’t help but be surprised.

This black shadow was not a stranger. Instead, it was Peach Blossom.

Her face was pale and her lips were blue. Large amounts of blood blossomed through her clothes, as if she was seriously injured. Jiang Shuo had seen the martial arts of the Dream Red Chamber disciples, and even the ordinary disciples were not bad. The Peach Blossom that was inseparable from Liu Ruyan was definitely more outstanding. Even she was heavily injured. This showed how high the killer’s martial arts level was.

“Who hurt you?” Liu Ruyan frowned and asked.

“OP …” Peach Blossom had an expression of pleasant surprise as she suddenly thought of something. Her expression abruptly changed as she reminded, “Someone is chasing after me!”

“Hmm?” Liu Ruyan and the others raised their heads and looked at the spot where Peach Blossom fell.

He only saw a black shadow flash past. Coincidentally, someone stuck out their head and retracted it when they saw that something was wrong. After which, a series of footsteps sounded out and the person in question was frantically running away.

“…!” There was someone spying on them from such a close distance, and they were all startled.

After a short period of shock, Liu Ruyan reacted first. Her body was as light as a feather, as if she was weightless. She immediately jumped onto the roof and said, “You guys stay behind to look after Peach Blossom.” She then ran in the direction the man had fled in.

The house had a certain height, so Jiang Shuo couldn’t jump up like the others. He simply searched around, and finally climbed up on the wall. He climbed up to the rooftop and saw Liu Ruyan’s figure flash past two or three houses. He inwardly exclaimed in admiration at the speed of the two, but he did not dare to delay in the slightest and immediately gave chase. Although Jiang Shuo did not practice lightness skills, he had practiced his agility while hunting his prey. He had been rolling and crawling all the way, using both hands and feet, but he did not lose them.

After following for about half a mile, the continuous stream of houses disappeared. In front of them was an open field. Jiang Shuo was surprised to discover that Liu Ruyan’s lightness skills were excellent, and her advantage in agility on the ground was completely exposed. After losing the protection of the house, the distance between the two of them was constantly shortened. In just a short moment, both of their hands had already locked onto each other.

The enemy was a middle-aged man with an ordinary appearance. He belonged to the type that was not eye-catching in the crowd, and would immediately forget about him. Under the support of his deep inner force, his moves became extremely vigorous and powerful. On the other hand, Liu Ruyan’s technique was clearly superior. Her movements were light and graceful, moving left and right from time to time. Her light-colored silk fluttered in the air, not like a lark dancing in a battle of life and death, but more like a lark.

Both sides were strong, and Jiang Shuo could not help. Afraid of distracting Liu Ruyan, Jiang Shuo stopped in the distance.

In this competition of movement techniques, the opponent could not even touch Liu Ruyan’s shadow. Each of her punches and kicks landed on empty air like a ball of cotton. Liu Ruyan was not in a hurry. She held the upper hand and held the initiative in the battle from beginning to end. If this situation continued, it wouldn’t be long before Liu Ruyan took down the enemy as long as he didn’t reveal any more weaknesses in his strength.

The enemy’s eyes rolled left and right in their sockets. He made a prompt decision and fiercely attacked a few times. He temporarily opened up a little space and turned around to flee. Ten Zhang in front of him, there were many houses.

“Where do you think you’re going?!” Liu Ruyan coldly shouted, and a ribbon was shot out like a sharp sword towards the enemy’s back. If the enemy only wanted to escape, he would definitely die.

Sensing the danger behind him, the enemy suddenly turned around and threw out two punches, sending the ribbon flying back. He originally wanted to escape as soon as he had gotten out of danger. However, in just a split-second of delay, Liu Ruyan had caught up and jumped into the air above his head.

Like a bird spreading its wings, Liu Ruyan spread her arms wide, and the silk cloth wrapped around her snow-white arms fell off. They intertwined and floated down in spirals, like a colorful tornado, covering the entire body of the enemy.

The enemies waved their fists and legs in an attempt to break through the current predicament. However, the colorful ribbons around them were soft yet impeccable like weak water. In the blink of an eye, a gap that was ripped open with great difficulty was completely healed. The enemy used all of his strength, but not only did he not achieve even the slightest breakthrough, his hands and feet had even been wrapped in ribbons, causing his movements to become even more sluggish. He was like a victim in a swamp, and the more he struggled, the deeper he sank. The ribbon was constantly shrinking. Gradually, the enemy was wrapped in layers of silk and was no longer able to move. His appearance was extremely similar to a silkworm spinning silk into a cocoon.

Liu Ruyan landed on the ground, and there was a ribbon connecting her to the enemy. She lightly pulled, and the enemy jumped a little like a zombie, closing the distance between them.

Liu Ruyan carefully observed the other person’s face, but she did not recognize him. She immediately asked, “Who are you?”

Seeing that the victor had been decided, Jiang Shuo rushed over with a relieved look on his face.

The enemy’s hands and feet were tied inside, trying to break free, but to no avail. Instead, he calmed down. His chin was slightly raised and his eyes were calm and disdainful, as if he did not hear Liu Ruyan’s words and did not say a single word.

A cold light flashed in Liu Ruyan’s eyes as she skillfully used the ribbon. Immediately, the ribbon tightened, and the cloth cloth began to creak as it rubbed against each other. The enemy’s painful face contorted.

“Speak!” Liu Ruyan pressed again.

The enemy gritted his teeth and glared viciously at Liu Ruyan. At this moment, Jiang Shuo who was at the side suddenly realized something and shouted, “Miss Liu, be careful!”
