Chapter 72 - A Miserable Ending!
Chapter 72 A Miserable Ending!
Presbytery Gui wiped the blood off the corner of his mouth with a solemn expression. He stared at Hua Qingwu and the fake Yun Nanfeng in awe.
Hua Qingwu looked calm with sarcasm in her eyes.
However, the fake Yun Nanfeng looked shocked and took out a Jade Card. “It indeed saved me.” He thought of what happened at the night two days ago.
He had been thinking about revenge since the real Yun Nanfeng murdered his sister. He even placed his sister’s memorial tablet in his room in memory of her and to remind himself of her death.
At the night two days ago, he mourned for his sister’s death as usual. He loved to pour out his bitterness and worries to her, but she would never respond again.
At that time, he told his sister that he wanted to avenge her.
“Do you want to take revenge?”
The sudden voice scared him so much that his heart almost skipped a beat.
Fortunately, in order to make him more like Yun Nanfeng, the Yun Family spared no effort in cultivating him. As a result, he could handle it well in some aspects. Besides, he was good at hiding his thoughts, and could keep his composure even if Mount Tai collapsed in front of him.
When he looked in the direction of the voice, he saw a handsome young man stand behind him not far away and stare at him with interest.
At that time, he was worried that the man might have heard what he said, and was in no mood to consider how the man got into his room without being found.
“Who are you?” he stared at the handsome young man while wondering how to let the man keep the secret forever.
“It doesn’t matter who I am. What matters is that I can help you take vengeance upon your enemies.” The young man’s voice sounded indifferent yet determined, and he had a commanding aura.
“What revenge? I don’t know what you’re talking about.” The fake Yun Nanfeng denied, despite that he did not know how much the man had heard and what he knew about him.
He thought that the man would refute his lie or threaten him; however, the man just smiled at him and replied, “Since you don’t want my help, just take it as I have never come here.”
After saying this, the man turned to leave.
“Wait!” the fake Yun Nanfeng yelled subconsciously, not because he was convinced but because he was afraid that his secrets would be leaked out.
The handsome young man turned back and looked at him quietly.
“You said you could help me avenge my sister, but why should I believe you?” the fake Yun Nanfeng said tentatively while thinking fast how to let the man shut up forever.
However, after thinking it over, he realized there was only one way, which was to kill the man. Only the dead would not speak.
He weighed his own power and the man’s power. The man was thin and seemed not strong. However, the fake Yun Nanfeng himself was not strong either. Thus, he had to launch a sneak attack.
“Take a seat. Let me make you a cup of tea, and after that, let’s talk about it slowly.”
As he expected, the young man accepted his suggestion and sat down on the sofa, back to him. The fake Yun Nanfeng did not know whether it was because the man was confident about his own power or because the man was just not on the alert.
No matter what the reason was, it was a good chance for him to attack.
He lifted a vase for decoration and walked to the young man from his behind.
It seemed that the young man was not aware of his action at all.
The fake Yun Nanfeng’s hands trembled for he had never killed a chick, let alone a human being.
However, to take revenge for his sister, he had to do so.
“I’m sorry!” he roared, seemingly to boost his courage.
With his eyes closed, he hit the young man with the vase.
“Bang!”
A dull sound echoed, different from what he had expected. “Did I miss it?” he wondered.
He opened his eyes in secret and met the young man’s cold gaze. To his shock, the vase was pinned in the mid-air, and no matter how hard he tried, he could not move it at all.
What shocked him, even more, was that as the man waved his hand gently, the vase gradually floated in the air and fell into the young man’s fair hands. The young man then tightened his grip on the vase.
“Boom!”
The vase was suddenly exploded, yet the broken pieces did not fly in all directions but were frozen in the air.
“What kind of trick is this?” The fake Yun Nanfeng was scared out of his wits and his legs went limp. He had to hold the sofa with both hands so as not to fall.
“If you had not said sorry to me, you would be a dead man now.” The young man’s voice sounded emotionless, and as he held his fingers together, the broken pieces of the vase were turned into bits.
The fake Yun Nanfeng could not stand upright anymore and collapsed on the ground.
“Is he an immortal?” the idea suddenly crossed his mind, which was in a mess. “Yes, he must be an immortal, and only an immortal could have such techniques.”
“Are you an immortal?” the fake Yun Nanfeng spoke out his mind subconsciously.
“I’ll give you another chance. Do you want to take revenge or not?” the young man did not answer the question but uttered his own question.
He struggled to kneel down.
“Yes, I do. Please forgive me for being blind, Your Excellency. As long as I can take revenge, I won’t regret even if I were to die...”
The fake Yun Nanfeng only remembered that he kept kowtowing to and pleading the young man, because he knew he could not take revenge for his sister on his own unless the immortal would help him.
“During the following time, listen to me and as long as you do as I said, You’ll be able to avenge your sister.”
On hearing the words, the fake Yun Nanfeng knew that he was forgiven. “Thank you, thank you, Your Excellency...”
He got the Jade Card from the young man before who left. As a matter of fact, the young man gave him two Jade Cards and one small seven-colored snake and told him that they could protect him at a critical time.
The young man also told him to give the other Jade Card and the snake to Hua Qingwu.
He did not know how powerful the Jade Card was until now.
After collecting his thoughts, he turned to look at Hua Qingwu. “What’s the relationship between her and that young man who looked as handsome as an immortal?” he wondered to himself.
“You’re very smart. Trusting him is the wisest choice you have ever made in your life,” Hua Qingwu said, seemingly knowing what the fake Yun Nanfeng was thinking about.
The fake Yun Nanfeng was shocked. In fact, he hesitated for a long time before making up his mind.
When Presbytery Gui saw the fake Yun Nanfeng took out a Jade Card, his expression changed, and there was greed in his eyes. “Such an incredible treasure should be mine. Its defensive power is just so amazing.” he thought to himself.
“Boy, give me that card, and I’ll spare your life and even accept you as my disciple.”
The fake Yun Nanfeng was astonished and could not help but sneer at him with his eyes full of sarcasm. “This old guy must be mad.” he thought.
“Boy, you know it well that a common man’s only crime is to carry a jade, don’t you? Do you think you’ll be able to keep it? If you become my disciple, I can keep you safe and you’ll be able to get whatever you want, money, beauty...”
“Yes, I can’t keep it, but it can protect me. I’d suggest you give up your delusion and think about how to make it out alive.”
Presbytery Gui sneered. “I may not be able to put you down for the time being, but I can leave here as I want and nobody could stop me.”
“Really?” Hua Qingwu asked with disdain.
“What? Do you dare to fight me? If it weren’t for the Jade Card in your hands, I could kill you with a lift of my hand.”
Hua Qingwu nodded and said, “You’re right. I don’t dare to fight with you, but it does.”
As soon as she finished speaking, Hua Qingwu stretched out her hand, and the colorful bracelet on her wrist was shining under the sun.
“Jiu You, it’s time to show your power!”
With the words, the seven-colored bracelet around her wrist was brought to life and fell from her wrist.
Everyone was surprised to see that a colorful bracelet turned into a beautiful seven-colored snake.
Jiu You raised its head slightly and looked at Presbytery Gui with disdain in its dark eyes.
Yes, it was disdain that was in its eyes. The guests present became even more surprised.
“Are you trying to make me stay here with this little snake? “Presbytery Gui couldn’t help but laugh. He had many small snakes like this one. “Let me show you what the real Snake King would be like.”
While speaking, he shook his sleeves, and a piebald python as thick as a child’s arm wormed out of his sleeve. The snake had a black tongue, and it kept sticking its tongue out. What was even more strange was that the snake had a black cockscomb on its head.
“Kill them.”
Presbytery Gui ordered.
The big snake slowly moved out of his sleeve. With its head raising high and a black cockscomb on its head, it looked like a proud master cock.
“Roar!”
Jiu You suddenly roared, which sounded like a thunderstorm and made everyone dizzy.
Everyone was stunned and wondered if it was really a snake.
What was even more shocking was that the big snake, half of whose body had gotten out of Presbytery Gui’s sleeve, chickened out after hearing the roar.
“Ahh...”
Presbytery Gui suddenly screamed, and as he shook his sleeves, the big piebald snake was thrown out of the sleeve. Then, he pulled his sleeve up quickly and saw two small bites on his arm, which were obviously left by the sake. Besides, black blood welled up from the bites.
“Baster, how dare you bite me! I’ll kill...”
All of a sudden, Presbytery Gui’s voice stopped, and his face turned black. Moreover, blood oozed out from his eyes, nose, and ears.
“Bang!”
Presbytery Gui fell onto the ground, dead.
Silence, the place was in dead silence.
Everyone present was petrified. The domineering and arrogant Presbytery Gui was killed by the venomous snake he raised.
The Yuns, Gui Shengzi, and Gui Mei all looked surprised with their eyes popped out.
No one had expected such a dramatic scene to happen, especially Yun Baishan.
His face blushed with anger, and he felt ashamed. He felt like he were a drowning man who finally got someone help him, yet he dragged the man into the water from the river bank.
“You brought it upon yourself.”
It was Su Fan who said the words, and his words drew everyone’s attention back to Yun Baishan.
“Yun Baishan, you can’t escape this time,” said the fake Yun Nanfeng in an angry voice.
Yun Baishan shivered, and he could no longer keep his composure. He was both frightened and furious because he lost his biggest support, Presbytery Gui, who showed up in an imposing way and died miserably.
“That snake ran away.”
Someone suddenly shouted.
Following the voice, the guests saw that the big piebald snake moved quickly in the grass, like a lightning.
“Jiu You, don’t let it run away,” Hua Qingwu said hurriedly. The snake was so venomous that it would be bad if someone ran into it.
“Swoosh!”
When the guests reacted from seeing a seven-colored light flash in front of them, they immediately spotted Jiu You come back leisurely with its head raising high.
When they looked toward the big piebald snake, they gasped in fear. The piebald snake was cut into several pieces, yet, it was still alive, and each piece of its body kept creeping in the grass, making desperate struggle.
Now, the guests began to look at Jiu You with a different expression. They felt their hair stand on end.
Yun Baishan’s legs went weak. He collapsed on the ground with a dull look and murmured, “It’s over... It’s all over.”
