One Sword to Immortality - C310
“Third Sister!” Third sister! “Third sister!” and looked at each other, and then quickly ran in the direction of Huang Ying. However, when Ding Ning came to Huang Ying’s side, other than Huang Ying’s third sister, Bai Yu’s corpse, there was also a male and female corpse beside Bai Yu’s corpse. It was the Mang Shan Sect’s disciples Yin Qi and Meng Qingru who came into the Yue Nv Peak with Ding Ning previously!
“Shouldn’t the two of them be travelling in Mausoleum of Books? Why are we here? ” Tu Lu looked at Yin Qi’s corpse and frowned, then turned and spoke to Ding Ning.
“Who knows?” A bitter smile surfaced on Ding Ning’s face, he squatted down and checked the wounds on Yin Qi’s body, and discovered that the two of them had the same fatal injuries, both of them had their throats cut off by a sword, and was only staring at the wounds on their throats, Ding Ning frowned once again.
“What’s wrong?” Seeing the strange expression on Ding Ning’s face, Tu Lu could not help but squat down and ask.
Ding Ning turned his head and looked at Tu Lu, he shook his head and laughed bitterly, then asked Tu Lu: “Don’t you feel that the wounds on their throat look very familiar?”
“Very familiar?” “Nope.” Tu Lu shook his head, his gaze looking at Yin Qi’s fatal wound, the only one on their body, and said to Ding Ning: “Although I have seen you use your sword, I do not know how to use Mang Shan Sect’s swordsmanship. What? That sword strike that that guy used to kill Yin Qi, was that also your sword style swordsmanship? ”
Ding Ning shook his head, pointing at the sword wound on Yin Qi’s neck, he said: “Originally, I wasn’t sure if this guy was aiming for you or for me … Now that I see this slash from Senior Sister Yin Qi, Senior Brother Meng Qingru and the others, I am 100% sure that this fellow has come for you! ”
“Why?” Tu Lu looked at Ding Ning with suspicion and asked.
Ding Ning pursed his lips, raised his head, and said to Tu Lu: “Actually, Senior Sister Yin Qi and Senior Brother Meng Qingru’s sword in their throats is something you should be very familiar with, because you just met it a few days ago!”
“I met him a few days ago? I didn’t… “Yes…” Tu Lu’s face froze for a moment. Then, as if he suddenly thought of something, he looked at Ding Ning with wide eyes: “Chou Qiudao! It’s Chou Qiudao?! ”
Ding Ning nodded: “That’s right, it’s Chou Qiudao. Right now, Senior Sister Yin Qi and Senior Brother Meng Qingru’s sword wounds on their throats are exactly the same as the sword wounds on Chou Qiudao’s throat back then! ”
“B-but Chou Qiudao …” “He, he’s not you …” Tu Lu blurted out as he looked at Ding Ning, but he did not say the word “kill” halfway through his words.
Ding Ning smiled, he understood why Tu Lu did not say the word “kill” now. Ding Ning knew that Tu Lu was worried about the existence of Huang Ying at the side. However, after Ding Ning shot a glance at Huang Ying, his face revealed an expression of indifference, and straightforwardly said to Tu Lu: “That’s right, Chou Qiudao was killed by my sword that cut his throat! But, don’t forget to tell the Mang Shan Sect, Master Yuan, Martial Uncle Yan Yuan and the teachers of the various peaks that Chou Qiudao died in your hands … Now, do you understand? ”
Tu Lu was stunned for a while, then nodded his head towards Ding Ning: “Mn, I understand what you mean! Because back then in Limitless Palace, I blocked the possibility of you killing Chou Qiudao, and now that Meng Qingru was killed by a sword that was the same as Chou Qiudao’s that day, I became the biggest suspect! However, what I can’t understand is, since that person’s ultimate goal is me, why did he use your swordsmanship to kill Qing Yan and the others? Isn’t this drawing a snake to stick to one’s feet and creating new problems? ”
Ding Ning lowered his head and thought, then shook his head: “No! It was not an unexpected event, this move of his was clearly a one stone, two birds with one bird! I think that it was an accident that he encountered Qing Yan and the other two sisters in Yue Nv Peak, it was not within his expectations. And killing Senior Sister Yin Qi, was his real plan. This is because only the four of us came into the Yue Nv Peak, and now, Senior Sister Yin Qi is dead under the same sword attack as the day Chou Qiudao was killed, and you told Master and the others that Chou Qiudao was killed by you, so even if Senior Sister Yin Qi is not killed by you, you are the one who killed her. ”
“Even though I know that you’re innocent and that you didn’t kill Senior Sister Yin Qi, it’s because my body is full of doubts for the Mang Shan Sect and I have too many secrets … Therefore, in the end, even if we were to mutually prove each other’s innocence, in the eyes of outsiders, we would probably be considered as accomplices and no one would believe our words! Hehehe, all this while, I have always believed that I have concealed myself very well during these three years in Mang Shan Sect. From the looks of it, the secret that I have intentionally hidden has probably been seen through long ago … Furthermore, not only did that person see through me, he also secretly learned the Half-Sword swordsmanship that I created these past three years. “
