Chapter 235 Five Kills of the Puppet
Chapter 235 Five Kills of the Puppet
On the mountain path, Lei Hong followed closely behind Li Hanyi with his sword in his hand. In the past few days, Li Hanyi relapsed into madness many times, and could only be suppressed forcefully by him and his sword. But Li Hanyi’s martial arts were of a whole other level. Before she went mad, she was ranked among the sword immortals. Now that she had lost her mind, her martial skills had only surged even more. With Lei Hong’s abilities, after crossing swords many times, he had also suffered quite serious injuries.
"Li Hanyi, where the hell are you going!" Lei Hong shouted angrily.
"Su Changhe." Li Hanyi turned around. Sometimes, she would completely lose her mind, but sometimes, she was more lucid. At this moment when she turned around, she spoke in a deep voice.
"I know you’re looking for Su Changhe, but why are you taking this road?" Lei Hong expressed the doubts he was feeling. Li Hanyi had seemed to be running madly all the way here, but also seemed like she had a plan for running towards a certain place.
Li Hanyi came to a standstill. She raised her hand slowly, pointed at a direction in the distance, and slowly said, "Su Changhe is there." As soon as she said her words, she leaped up and bolted in the same direction.
Lei Hong was still confused. "Why on earth would Su Changhe be here?" But in a flash, Li Hanyi had already disappeared. In addition to his doubts, he was also very worried, and he hurried to chase after her.
In less than a stick of incense, Li Hanyi had already arrived at the place she was pointing to. It was a swamp in the middle of a mountain forest. There was a man in black wearing a silver mask. He stood there with his head lowered, an indescribable gloominess to him, and his face couldn’t be seen clearly.
"Su Changhe!" Li Hanyi roared and the sword auras from her twin swords exploded.
Was that the Hidden River Patriarch? Lei Hong frowned. Although he’d never met Su Changhe face-to-face, he’d naturally heard others talk about this Patriarch who succeeded his position through a conspiracy plot during the Hidden River’s Rain of Blood. But, no matter what, Lei Hong was sure of one thing. He! Couldn’t be here!
This was a ploy! That was Lei Hong\'s first thought. It felt like someone was deliberately guiding Li Hanyi to this point, and that man who was keeping silent with his head lowered, that Su Changhe, couldn’t be so simple!
"Don\'t go there!" Lei Hong blocked in front of Li Hanyi in midair.
"Out of my way!" Li Hanyi shouted angrily.
"Don\'t go there!" Lei Hong shook his head at Li Hanyi, trying to meet her eyes to summon back some of her consciousness.
"Go away." Li Hanyi\'s tone suddenly became flat, but the expression in her eyes shattered. She suddenly lifted her swords, a ray of cold air and a ray of red light, and without a word, she slammed them hard at Lei Hong.
Lei Hong waved his Murderous Dread sword and met the two sword auras head on. He shouted angrily at Li Hanyi, "Li Hanyi, take a good look at who I am! I’m Lei Hong!"
"Lei Hong?" Li Hanyi\'s eyes slowly regained lucidity, and the sword auras vanished.
Lei Hong was overjoyed. "Did you recognize me?"
"That year, if it weren’t for you and your brother coming to challenge Qingcheng Mountain one after the other, I wouldn’t have missed my chance with Yuzhen." For a moment, Li Hanyi seemed to lose her consciousness, her tone calm and quiet. Her next words, however, pierced Lei Hong’s heart even worse than tens of thousands of swords. "If I hadn\'t come to Lei Clan Fort to see you this time, Yuzhen wouldn\'t have left his mountain and he wouldn’t have died."
"Hanyi." Lei Hong’s face fell.
"Get lost!" Li Hanyi\'s eyes flashed purple again, and the consciousness that had suddenly returned was once again eroded by her wrath. She wielded her swords angrily, and her sword auras were several times more powerful than before! Lei Hong raised his sword again to block them, but he couldn\'t stop them at all this time. He was cut down by Li Hanyi\'s twin swords and he dropped immediately and slammed into the ground. Li Hanyi didn\'t bother with him. She landed, tipped her toes and once again, rushed to attack the man standing by the swamp.
"Die!" Li Hanyi landed in front of the man and swung her swords.
The man finally raised his head and under the silver mask were a pair of sinister-looking eyes. They were very similar to Su Changhe’s but were definitely not Su Changhe! His lips curled into a grin, unspeakably demonic and insidious, as he leapt backwards and waved his hands furiously.
Tens of long blades were pulled up from the swamp. He waved again, and all the long blades rushed to slash at Li Hanyi!
The Hidden River Spider Shadows Beheading Sword Array!
The man’s hand continued twitching furiously. The blade wires in his hands were strung up to tens of long blades. He did not have the ability of the Head of Su House Su Muyu’s technique to simultaneously manipulate eighteen swords at the same time. But, with thorough preparation in advance, he could activate this Beheading Sword Array to control tens of long blades at the same time! Nobody could survive inside such an array of blades. No matter how powerful their martial arts were, they would be instantly chopped into minced meat!
Only if the one he met wasn’t Li Hanyi, that is.
In her right hand, the Armoured Glacier sword made its move. Sword name, Eighth Month’s Flying Snow, the coldest sword in the world.
In her left hand, the Profound Yang Peach Blossom sword made its move. Sword name, Spring Breeze Comes, the warmest sword in the world.
All the long blades on Li Hanyi\'s right were instantly frozen into frost and condensed in place. All the long blades on her left were instantly ignited into flames and the blades melted into molten iron. As for the long blades in front of her, they faced the combined power of her twin blades, and with one sword, they were shattered into pieces.
"What!" The man\'s eyes widened with shock, and after a moment, they turned into alarm. Because he realised that he didn’t retreat, he hadn’t retreated from his own blade array. But Li Hanyi had already arrived in front of him, her eyes glowing with purple light. "You’re not Su Changhe."
"Yes," the man said coldly.
"But your breath is similar to his," Li Hanyi said solemnly.
"That’s right," the man replied.
"So, based on this point, you should die too." Li Hanyi thrusted one sword, pierced through the man’s chest and blood gushed out towards Li Hanyi.
Although the blood was red, it was not bright red. It was dark red.
If Li Hanyi was lucid, she would naturally realise that this blood had been mixed with Crimson Tears. That was an incredibly lethal poison. Just being stained by one drop of it would cause an intense agony worse than death. But at this moment, Li Hanyi couldn\'t tell the difference, so she simply let the dark red blood splash all over her body.
The man fell backwards heavily and rolled onto the ground. Dark red blood continued to pour out from his chest. His eyes went blank and in an instant, there was no sign of life left.
Li Hanyi stood in place, holding her swords, her neck and the lapels of her clothes covered with blood. She stared ahead of her dazedly.
Five people appeared in front of her.
One was dressed in blue robes, one was holding a spear, one was wearing a grey veil and one was carrying a great sword.
These four people greatly resemble four very famous people in the martial world, whether it was in the way they were dressed or in their temperament. However, without exception, none of these four people should be standing here at this time, and even more so, they shouldn’t be standing in front of Li Hanyi.
Wine Immortal Baili Dongjun, Spear Immortal Sikong Changfeng, Snow Moon Sword Immortal Li Hanyi, Wrath Sword Immortal Yan Zhantian.
Behind them stood a man wearing a blood-red mask of a ferocious ghost, with his hair hanging loose on his back. He smiled lightly and said, "Snow Moon Sword Immortal?"
