Obtaining Top Art on Family's Extermination Night

Chapter 483: Chapter 221: Holding Nothing Back

Although Yu Yaoguang didn’t know about the agreement between Fang Shuwen and Chen Qi, Fang Shuwen had previously said this man was one of Chen Qi’s, so it wasn’t hard to guess his origins.

Naturally, she wasn’t easily fooled.

The man’s lie exposed, he saw Yu Yaoguang strike and hastily tried to dodge, but how could he possibly get away?

SQUELCH. A single finger pierced straight through his forehead.

The remaining few men hurriedly said:

"We were trying to get information about the Seven-String Ancient Chapter from him! That’s why we were chasing him!"

"The Seven-String Ancient Chapter?"

Miao Feichan found it strange.

"What does this have to do with the Seven-String Ancient Chapter?"

One of them immediately blurted out:

"The Young Venerable of Dragon Emperor Hall stole the Seven-String Ancient Chapter and fled to the East Sea.

"Countless heroes of the Jianghu went out to sea searching for him, but they all came back empty-handed... In fact, many were killed or injured.

"Since this man came from the sea, we figured he might be one of those thieves from Dragon Emperor Hall, so we wanted to capture him and question him."

The man didn’t dare hide anything, hastily explaining the situation.

But he wasn’t telling the whole story. They had indeed noticed the man came from the sea, which first gave them the idea.

But it wasn’t as if they treated everyone who came from the sea this way.

Rather, they first grew suspicious, and then went to probe him. The messenger, on a mission from Chen Qi to deliver a letter to the Demon Evil God, was already feeling the weight of his crucial task, so his expression was naturally tense and serious.

When the two sides began to question each other, one was hiding something while the other was desperately probing. In the end, one side decided he must be from Dragon Emperor Hall, while the other concluded they must have been sent to stop him from delivering his letter.

And so, they became entangled in a fight.

To be entrusted with delivering Chen Qi’s letter, the man’s martial arts were naturally not weak. However, the group from the Eastern Domain had the advantage of numbers. As the saying goes, two fists are no match for four hands. Even though he was a skilled fighter, he was still severely injured.

He was then pursued relentlessly until he was finally cornered here.

That was the long and short of it. But with his life hanging by a thread, how could the man who spoke dare to explain it all so clearly?

Miao Feichan was rather confused by all this and couldn’t help but look at Yu Yaoguang. She hadn’t been to the Eastern Domain for a long time, so she naturally didn’t know about these events.

However, she had heard of Dragon Emperor Hall and the Seven-String Ancient Chapter.

Yu Yaoguang shook her head.

"It’s a long story... I’ll explain the details to you later."

"Then what should we do with these men?"

Miao Feichan asked.

"Kill them."

Yu Yaoguang didn’t hesitate.

"They drew their weapons on Shuwen. There’s no reason to keep them alive."

Hearing this, Miao Feichan nodded. Without another word, her figure vanished. In just a flash, she was already back behind Fang Shuwen.

The few men still wore looks of panic, but their eyes were completely vacant, having lost all trace of life.

In the blink of an eye, Miao Feichan had kicked them all to death.

Yu Yaoguang clicked her tongue in admiration.

"The Lingyun Star-Stepping Strategy truly is a supreme art. In just a few short days, your martial arts have improved significantly."

Miao Feichan shook her head.

"Compared to them, I’m still far too weak."

A rope was still tied around Fang Dabao, and attached to that rope was a cloth bundle he had been dragging all the way here.

Inside that bundle was none other than Luo Wenzhou.

The ’them’ she referred to were the people of Dragon Abyss.

Luo Wenzhou was just one of the Twelve Hour Guards, yet his martial arts were already at the apex of the Jianghu.

’How powerful must the other eleven be?’

’Not to mention, the Twelve Hour Guards are only one part of Dragon Abyss. Besides them, there must be countless other masters within its walls.’

’To get true revenge for the Lingyun Sect, I’m still far too weak.’

"You don’t need to be so hard on yourself."

At some point, Fang Shuwen had let go of the dead man’s hand and now looked up at Miao Feichan.

"To have achieved so much after only just starting, once you master the Lingyun Star-Stepping Strategy, who knows what level your martial arts will reach.

"I’ll have to rely on you a lot more then."

"Oh, stop. You’re just trying to sweet-talk me."

Miao Feichan shot Fang Shuwen a look.

Fang Shuwen froze for a moment. ’Did I just see a hint of coquettish charm in her eyes?’

But when he looked again, she had reverted to her usual aloof, unapproachable demeanor.

He shook his head, thinking he must have been mistaken.

He reached down and took the letter from the dead man’s hand. He wasn’t so insistent on using his Deer Hide Gloves anymore.

Ever since acquiring the Twelve-Gate Golden Bell Shield, he was considered immune to a hundred poisons. This immunity wasn’t due to any pharmacological effect or his Inner Strength having detoxifying properties. Rather, it was because his body was so formidable that poison could hardly do him any harm.

Fang Shuwen felt this type of immunity was much more reliable.

In fact, he figured that if there was a poison potent enough to bypass his Twelve-Gate Golden Bell Shield, then wearing the Deer Hide Gloves probably wouldn’t make a difference anyway.

And a poison like that couldn’t possibly be laced onto a letter.

He casually opened the letter. After scanning its contents, Fang Shuwen raised an eyebrow slightly.

Ever since Ye Feihua had caused a stir with the fake Jinghua Pavilion, and after the incident in the Earth Palace, Chen Qi had used the opportunity to "seize" the "Seven-String Ancient Chapter."

Later, he had found Fang Shuwen and proposed they cooperate to kill the Undying Dragon Emperor.

At the time, however, he had asked Fang Shuwen for some time. He wanted to make an attempt to use the Undying Dragon Emperor’s own Dragon Gate against him to weaken his martial arts.

Now, this letter stated that his attempt had succeeded.

The Undying Dragon Emperor’s martial arts were fading, but Chen Qi couldn’t be certain to what extent they would decline.
