Please, Young Master, Slay the Demon!
Chapter 89: Counter Kill_1

Chapter 89: Chapter 89: Counter Kill_1

Master Lu left in tranquility.

...

He was originally an assassin roaming in the darkness, relying on the heritage of the Seven Kills. With a lifetime of killing tallying up to the hundreds, if not thousands, his hands were drenched in blood.

It was not until the countless murders gradually drew the attention of the Nine Heavens and Ten Lands that he had no choice but to hold his hand. He changed his identity and took refuge in the Marquis Ding Shan Residence, becoming a servant of the manor. While protecting the young Marquis, he also carried out some of his dirty work.

This was a satisfactory end for a person like him, and none of the tasks he performed posed a considerable challenge for him.

Like today, for instance, he was due to murder a cultivator from Mount Shu in the Divine Consciousness Realm and a fish.

He had initially thought that by using the stealth of the Seven Hidden Kill Bodies, the first stroke would be a guaranteed kill. An assassin from the Sixth Realm attacking a cultivator from the Third Realm, at his most adept skill of surprise attack, was a sure win.

But the disciple from Mount Shu had sharp reflexes and deployed a defensive artifact just in time. Unexpectedly, the artifact actually managed to block him just enough to spare the disciple his life, which Lu had not anticipated.

Moreover, what he hadn’t anticipated was that the unusual defensive artifact had an escape function. It wrapped the fish and flew straight into the sky.

Master Lu was silent and angry.

Over the years, he had probably grown accustomed to an easy environment, his ruthlessness chiseled away. When the first stroke didn’t land, there should have been a lethal second one. Wasting words on a living enemy is a taboo for an assassin.

Things had now come to such a pass; one of the two had escaped, which to him, was a significant failure.

What was even more unexpected to him was that the remaining disciple of Mount Shu even looked up to threaten him.

How did he dare?

Upon hearing Chu Liang’s words, "who told you that," Master Lu felt confused, thus swiftly prepared to draw his sword and actively harvest this overbearing ghost.

But right then, he saw Chu Liang also raising an ancient flying sword.

How dare he fight back?

At least, the disciple of Mount Shu wasn’t a coward, willing to die standing.

Wait.

Was there something wrong with that sword?

When Chu Liang deployed his sword technique, Master Lu was assuming he was merely struggling for life. After all, the gap between the Third Realm and the Sixth Realm is as deep as a gulf and chasm; it would be as effortless as crushing an ant to kill him.

However, as the flying sword crossed the sky, tracing silver rune lines, and sweeping towards him with a magnificent wind-thunder momentum, Master Lu realized something was wrong.

It was a simple talisman sword technique, Wind Fire Double Rune Sword.

How could its power be so immense?

The sound of this sword qi hurt his ears!

Something’s off!

Terribly off!

Something strange had definitely happened. How could a cultivator from the Third Realm release this powerful sword technique?

He promptly retracted his sword and made a sign, his body disappearing in an instant.

But it was too late...

If he had considered Chu Liang as a worthy opponent and had run away as he wielded his power, this sword would not have hit him for sure.

But when Chu Liang deployed his sword technique, he didn’t show enough respect. By the time he wanted to dodge it, it was a tad too late.

While he was half disappeared and became semi-transparent, the Fire Dragon carrying a raging storm and infinite momentum smashed down mercilessly. It seemed like the sky was crashing and the earth was imploding; killing him seemed like a bonus.

As the sword Qi approached, Master Lu lifted his head; shock and disbelief filled his eyes.

A cultivator from the Third Realm could actually deliver a killing stroke to one from the Sixth Realm. Where did this power come from?

Next, he felt a hint of judgement from that sword Qi.

It was as though it was destiny.

Criminals will face punishment, and those who disregard lives will be sentenced to death. Those haunted by grudges will eventually be devoured by the forces formed by the grudges.

He understood where the power came from.

It originated from himself.

...

Boom Boom Boom--

Watching the heaven and earth engulphed by the flames from the Wind Fire Double Rune Sword, Chu Liang finally took a breath of relief.

At that moment, he was faced with a dilemma.

When the Green Leaf Magical Instrument wrapped around him, his right chest was already pierced, and he was severely wounded.

Cultivators in the world will always face unexpected dangers. The choices made in times of crisis define humanity.

The safest option for him at that point would have been to activate the instrument and let it take him away.

But if he did that, Liu Xiaoyu, who was left behind, would definitely be killed by the evil man.

He made a decision between these fleeting thoughts- he opened the instrument and used it to send Liu Xiaoyu away instead.

Of course, this wasn’t a sacrifice. He still had a fighting chance.

The Beheading Red Famous Sword.

It faced the person of great evil, already famished and impatient!

The choice seemed uncertain, but it was the only way to save both of them. Save one first, then stay behind for one last duel.

He understood he would only get one chance.

Only by relying on his enemy’s arrogance and striking when his guard was down, could he possibly take him out unexpectedly.

The strongest individual damage divine skill was naturally the Talisman Sword Technique. Compared to the potentially failed Ice-Fire Dual Talisman Sword, he chose the more reliable Wind Fire Double Rune Sword.

He must succeed in one strike.

He did it.

Such is the power of the Justice Sword!

The enormous explosion wave blew Young Marquis, who was closer to Master Lu, a dozen yards away, crashing heavily to the ground.

Bang.

As soon as Young Marquis landed, he bounced back heavily. Compared to the physical pain, the shock he experienced was even more profound.

What was that?

Did he lose even though he was fighting side by side with Master Lu?

This must be some terrifying illusion, right?

However, when he saw Chu Liang, bathed in blood and holding the ancient longsword, emerge from the smoke, his mind cleared.

It wasn’t an illusion.

He actually killed Master Lu.

And it was an instant kill!

This Chu Liang is a terrifying demon!

"Ah..." The Young Marquis emitted a trembling scream, then turned and took off, fleeing for his life!

He had to escape!

Even though Chu Liang was severely injured at the moment, he didn’t dare to glance at him for a second longer!

"Want to leave?" Chu Liang, seeing the Young Marquis taking off, gritted his teeth, ignoring the pain from his injuries, and leaped to give chase!

The enemy genuinely wanted to kill him. If not for his own luck and various tactics to counter-kill... if it were anyone else, they would have been dead and reduced to a forgotten skeleton.

How could he let you escape easily?

A streak of sword light was like a shooting star, rapidly closing the distance between him and the Young Marquis.

"Dad... save me..."

At this moment, Xia An’s mind was filled with the word "escape". Escape towards Southern Border City, escape towards where people were gathered, escape towards his father...

Escape, escape, escape...

He dashed all the way to the outskirts of the city, arriving in no time at a hillside crowded with people. Half the citizens of South Gate City were gathered there.

Xue Lingxue’s tour was about to begin, everyone was waiting for the musician to take the stage, anticipating and excited!

His father, the current Marquis Ding Shan, would be in the VIP box on the hill. His father had many skilled guards at his side, and he himself was a cultivator.

There was no other moment when Xia An was as grateful for his father’s decision to cultivate as he was now.

Dad!

Save me!

Just as he was leaping over the stage, the sword light from Chu Liang’s pursuit was infinitely close. Chu Liang didn’t wait until he caught up but a red light swiftly struck out.

Whoosh—

The red light, like a snake or lightning, instantly wrapped around Xia An’s body, causing him to tumble to the ground.

Bang!

Xia An’s body fell heavily from mid-air, landing right on the vacant stage prepared for the performance, causing a commotion!

Chu Liang also descended following, grabbing hold of his silhouette.

The countless audience below got a clear look, the figure tied up in the Turtle Shell Binding and kneeling on the ground in a miserable state, was the Young Marquis of the Marquis Ding Shan Residence!

The highly revered royal relative!

What’s happening?

Who is the bloody sword-wielding young man?

Everyone cried out in shock.

The commotion was like rolling waves.

Chu Liang looked at the countless heads below, realized where he was, and decided it was agreed the sword should not fall down easily.

So he pulled Xia An’s head, raised the Beheading Red famous sword in his right hand, and shouted loudly: "The Ding Shan Marquis of South Border City, trafficking women, taking lives at will, crimes are extremely evil! Today, I, Chu Liang from Mount Shu, have captured him here!"

"Justice is in plain sight!"

"Xia An, do you plead guilty?!"
