Bone Changer: Dragon Supreme - C46
As the voice faded away, a cold light flashed and the ribbon burst apart. In the enemy’s hand, a longsword had appeared out of nowhere.
The sword exuded a clear and cold luster, cutting through the dim twilight and piercing straight towards Liu Ruyan’s chest. As no one had ever been able to escape before, the confident Liu Ruyan was very close to her opponent. With this sudden change, the blade of the sword arrived in the blink of an eye. It was extremely dangerous.
Liu Ruyan’s face sank. Her small arm shook, and the colorful ribbons were like nimble snakes. Layer by layer, they formed an inescapable net around the sword. According to their speed, before the longsword stabbed at Liu Ruyan, it would be locked down by these ribbons.
“So powerful!” Liu Ruyan easily resolved the dangerous situation, which Jiang Shuo couldn’t help but praise.
At this moment, the enemy’s body trembled and made several strange turns, dazzling the eyes of others. When it appeared again, it dodged the dense net of ribbons, changed its direction, and pierced towards Liu Ruyan’s throat.
“What!?” Jiang Shuo was surprised to see the thin sword in the enemy’s hand. It was a flexible sword. The flexible sword was wrapped around his waist. No wonder he hadn’t noticed it earlier.
The sudden change caused a trace of panic to appear on Liu Ruyan’s unperturbed expression.
At this time, the sword tip was only an inch away from Liu Ruyan’s throat. Jiang Shuo screamed and ran at the top of his lungs, but he was too far away to save the fire. He had no time.
Just as Jiang Shuo was about to close his eyes and not dare to watch the next scene, the panic on Liu Ruyan’s face disappeared and she regained her composure.
She raised her palm, bent her five fingers, and grabbed towards the edge of the sword.
Liu Ruyan’s control of her palm was extremely precise. Her palm was pressed against the surface of the sword, and her five fingers were locked on the other side, without any hint of contact with the sharp blades on both sides. With a sudden force, Liu Ruyan’s sword was broken into several pieces with a crisp “Pa” sound, and they fell to the ground with a clang.
The enemy opened his eyes wide, disbelief written all over his face. He never thought that Liu Ruyan was so powerful.
After resolving the crisis, Liu Ruyan quickly launched a counterattack. The colorful ribbons intertwined with each other covered the sky and covered the earth, once again wrapping around the enemy.
The colourful light reflected in his eyes, and the enemy, who knew that he would be unable to escape, turned cold. He reversed the broken sword in his hand and slashed at his own throat.
The sword had cut through flesh, and hot blood spurted out from the wound. Liu Ruyan was caught unprepared. Even as she retreated and waved the ribbon around, her clothes were still stained with blood.
The enemy fell heavily onto the ground, his face turned to the side, his four limbs twitching slightly, and his mouth letting out a low “Wuu” sound. After a while, his breathing stopped. He had died, and only his throat was bleeding. He was getting smaller and smaller.
Liu Ruyan pushed off the ground with her feet and jumped over. She looked down at the corpse on the ground with a serious expression and deep eyes. It was unknown what she was thinking.
Jiang Shuo was deeply shocked and could not calm down for a long time. After a moment, he slowly walked forward, crouched down in front of the corpse, and stretched out his palm towards it, trying to find some useful information.
“There’s no need to look for him. There’s absolutely no trace of him at all. People who would rather commit suicide to not reveal information would never make such a low-level mistake. ” Liu Ruyan said faintly.
Jiang Shuo looked back at Liu Ruyan. Although he knew she was telling the truth, he still continued his search with the hope of finding her. As expected, he found nothing.
Disappointed, Jiang Shuo straightened his back and thought for a moment. “The man in black who set the corpses on fire, and now it’s him, just how big of a secret are they hiding behind their backs?”
“Normally, the disciples of a Martial School would not have such extreme ways of doing things. We don’t even know what kind of huge monster we are facing right now.” Liu Ruyan worriedly agreed.
“Last time, the black-clothed man at least left some traces on his moves, but this time, the enemy was extremely well-hidden. But the only thing that he could be sure of was that he was not a member of the Raging Blade Sect, but looking at his skills, there was definitely a huge power behind him. “The Raging Blade Sect is already one of the top sects in Yu Lin, in addition to the power behind them, the identity of the culprit …” Halfway through, Jiang Shuo could not continue. When he thought about the implications of the whole matter, they had already exceeded the scope of his imagination.
Suddenly, like a dark cloud, it shrouded the top of their heads. In the face of the increasingly confusing situation, the two of them simultaneously fell into silence.
Not far away, there were groups of people cautiously looking in their direction, pointing at them but not daring to approach them. They knew Liu Ruyan and knew that this was a vengeful killing of martial artists. They didn’t even have the mood to report this to an official.
Not long after, a disciple of the Dream Red Tower came over with Peach Blossom. With the support of his companions, he was able to walk.
They could vaguely guess what was going on with the corpses in front of them and the expressions on their faces. They just waited quietly by Liu Ruyan’s side without saying anything.
“Peach Blossom, where did you go to investigate?” Liu Ruyan asked.
After the incident in the Raging Blade Sect, because Peach Blossom had informed Jiang Shuo of the existence of the forbidden area, Liu Ruyan had severely punished her. After that, in order to make amends, Peach Blossom kept investigating the matter. The idea she had was simple. It was a time of drought in the Wasteland. With such a concentration of murderers, they definitely lived in Yulin. Thus, she went to various suspicious places to investigate. After wandering around like a headless fly for a few days, she was unexpectedly overjoyed.
It must be because the Peach Blossom touched a forbidden area that the enemies would chase after and kill it. In other words, the location that Peach Blossom probed definitely had important clues.
Jiang Shuo looked nervously at Peach Blossom, his eyes filled with anticipation. This could very well be the key to solving this case.
“This …” The Peach Blossom that always acted straightforwardly hesitated for a rare moment, but in response to Liu Ruyan’s question, she hesitated and didn’t reply.
“What’s going on?” Jiang Shuo couldn’t figure it out. While he was puzzled, he suddenly realized that Peach Blossom had intentionally and unintentionally glanced at him, and her expression became even weirder.
Jiang Shuo’s heart was full of questions, but just as he was about to ask, Liu Ruyan suddenly raised her hand and ordered, “It’s getting late, take the corpse and let’s go back.”
With that, she walked through the crowd towards the front. One person supported Peach Blossom while the other was in charge of the corpse. Jiang Shuo was suspicious, but seeing this he could not ask anymore, so he hurried to follow.
After returning to the Dream Red House, Peach Blossom was brought down to be treated. Liu Ruyan let Jiang Shuo rest in the living room for a while, then went back to her room to change out of her bloodstained clothes.
“I am just a disciple of the Hundred Blossom Sect. Although I might not be able to cure her, I can at least give some advice.” On the way back, the people of Dream Red Tower intentionally kept Jiang Shuo away from Peach Blossom, which confused him.
The Dream Red Chamber also had its own doctor. Jiang Shuo thought for a while, thinking that he was probably at the Hundred Flowers Sect, since he was only a last resort disciple. Plus, he was too young, so it was understandable for him not to worry.
Jiang Shuo shook his head, dispelling the chaotic thoughts in his mind and stopped thinking about it. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket and started flipping through it. Meng Hong Lou was known to be a sect that gathered intelligence on business transactions. This information was probably compiled by them. Nearly two hundred names were written on it. They were all martial artists that were proficient in finger and claw techniques. Regarding each individual’s martial arts skills, they could only be determined by their past battle record. But since there were people who kept a low profile, were secretive, and were secretive, and had no record of fighting, Meng Hong Lou was unable to determine whether they were strong or weak. The killer must be strong in martial arts. According to the words above, Jiang Shuo eliminated half of the people, but the remaining number was still huge. One by one, it would take a lot of effort and time.
“Ai, if this paper was useful, then Meng Hong Lou would have already known who it was.” Jiang Shuo placed the piece of paper on the table, rubbed his sore eyes, and said to himself, “It seems I have to find a way to get something out of Peach Blossom.”
Jiang Shuo was sure that Peach Blossom knew something, but she didn’t say it. Moreover, judging from her demeanor, she seemed to be worrying about him.
Just as he was puzzled, a beautiful figure walked in from the entrance. “I’m sorry for keeping you waiting here for so long.”
Jiang Shuo looked up and his eyes lit up. Liu Ruyan’s skin, which had just been bathed, was white and rosy. Her curly hair even had a tinge of moisture in it, like a budding flower, tender and beautiful.
“Miss Liu is too polite.” Suppressing his excitement, Jiang Shuo scratched his head and looked behind Liu Ruyan, only to find that it was empty. No one was there, “Is Miss Peach Blossom alright?”
“Yes.” Liu Ruyan nodded and replied, then explained, “She ran for a whole day and was exhausted. She was also injured, so I let her sleep first.”
Sensing the perfunctory tone in Liu Ruyan’s voice, Jiang Shuo frowned. He hesitated for a moment before asking, “Then …” Did she say anything to you? ”
Liu Ruyan shook her head. Her delicate lips parted as she said, “When I went to see her, she had already fallen asleep. I had instructed others not to disturb her and did not have the chance to ask.”
“So that’s the case …” Jiang Shuo replied casually, his mind a mess. Even though Liu Ruyan wanted to cover it up, Jiang Shuo was sensitive enough to hear the distance between them.
During the day, Liu Ruyan’s attitude was different, changing from before to now. This made Jiang Shuo even more certain that Peach Blossom must have told Liu Ruyan something related to him.
“I have done my best to investigate this matter. The Dream Red Tower has already seen this. Why did their attitude suddenly change?” Jiang Shuo couldn’t figure it out, so he asked again, “Miss Liu, Yu Shi Fei should be in the Dream Red House. Can I go see her?”
Liu Ruyan’s delicate eyebrows slightly furrowed, but she still nodded in the end, “Follow me.”
