Chapter 771: Chapter 770: [It’s Actually Jiang An]

[PS: Seeking rewards from Alliance Hierarchs!!!]

"How can this masked disciple from Song Mountain Sect know the Divine Arts of the Flying Knife Sect?"

"It’s so strange, this guy is actually using the Absolute Skill of the Flying Knife Sect rather than the Divine Arts of the Song Mountain Sect?"

"Did Bei Lengshi do something behind the scenes to other Sects, or does it mean that a master from the Flying Knife Sect has already defected to the Song Mountain Sect?"

"What in the world is going on here?"

The martial artists standing outside the dueling formation couldn’t help but whisper among themselves. The masked disciple from the Song Mountain Sect had actually used the Divine Arts and Absolute Skills of the Flying Knife Sect and had easily cracked Xie Yuhe’s killing move. Named "Electric Blade", this move was from the Heavenly Slash Blade Skill of the Flying Knife Sect and was very powerful. Without prior defense, it would be extremely difficult for anyone to break this move.

However, when Xie Yuhe unleashed "Electric Blade", the masked disciple from the Song Mountain Sect appeared very composed and effortlessly broke it, which took Xie Yuhe by surprise. She was sure that this masked disciple from the Song Mountain Sect was definitely a traitor from the Flying Knife Sect; otherwise, he couldn’t possibly know the method to counter "Electric Blade". Even if Bei Lengshi had obtained some of the cultivation methods from the Heavenly Slash Blade Skill of the Flying Knife Sect through despicable and shameless means and taught them to his Song Mountain Sect disciples, they wouldn’t have been able to break this Absolute Skill.

Xie Yuhe attacked again, this time without holding back at all. She stimulated all the Martial Arts True Power within her body, and scores of flying knives appeared around her. Each flying knife surged with Divine Power, startling everyone present. Anyone could clearly feel the pressure emanating from Xie Yuhe. Within several hundred meters around her, it was difficult to approach casually. Those flying knives filled with Divine Power could burst out with astonishing combat power at any moment.

"You’re no match for me, so why bother courting death?" the masked disciple from the Song Mountain Sect asked, looking at Xie Yuhe.

"You need not hold back, nor do you need to show mercy. Since you dare to represent Song Mountain Sect in combat, you’re no longer a disciple of our Flying Knife Sect. I must cleanse our Sect of your presence," Xie Yuhe said coldly, looking at the masked man.

"You will die..." the masked man said, shaking his head.

"Even if I die, I won’t let the reputation of the Flying Knife Sect be destroyed, nor will I allow others to slander our Sect," Xie Yuhe exclaimed firmly, her eyes showing unwavering determination. She had truly become angry and quickly charged at the masked disciple from the Song Mountain Sect.

"Why is she suddenly acting crazy? That masked man’s cultivation is at least at the Mid Martial Venerate stage; Xie Yuhe is no match for him," Ye Tianchen asked softly, somewhat puzzled.

"I’m not too clear either. I heard that Xie Yuhe is an orphan who was raised by her master since she was young. The Sect Leader of the Flying Knife Sect is a woman, so she is like a mother to Xie Yuhe. Xie Yuhe has deep feelings toward the Sect Leader and the entire Flying Knife Sect. To her, the Flying Knife Sect is more important than anything," Dongfang Meng explained.

"The Flying Knife Sect is like Xie Yuhe’s home, and the fellow disciples are like her own family. When one’s home is in trouble, anyone is willing to protect it with their life!" Qing Chengyue stated calmly.

Bang!

The fierce battle erupted. Xie Yuhe, like a madwoman, kept attacking the masked man. Every move of hers was aimed at the vitals, showing just how angry she was. Determined to kill the Song Mountain Sect’s traitor, she could not allow this person to continue shaming the Flying Knife Sect.

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh... The sky was instantly filled with Sword Energies, causing those present to frown. The combat power displayed by Xie Yuhe and the masked man, although not among the most supreme of the younger generation, was definitely among the top and was terrifyingly formidable.

"Don’t force me!" the masked man said, tightly clenching his fist as he watched the violent Sword Energy sweep around him.

"Today, it’s either your death or mine, you traitor of the Flying Knife Sect..." Xie Yuhe bellowed, bringing her hands together and slashing downward with a massive Sword Energy.

The masked man glanced at Xie Yuhe and, in the end, brought his hands together as well, using the same Divine Art to slash out with immense Sword Energy.

Boom!

After a loud noise, the masked man had a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth, while Xie Yuhe was sent flying. Her cultivation realm was at the Early-stage Martial Venerate, and compared to this Mid Martial Venerate man, there was a small gap. Moreover, due to her extreme anger, she disregarded any tactics and simply charged ferociously at the masked man, resulting in her severe injury.

"You traitor..." Xie Yuhe forced herself to stand up, looking coldly at the masked man.

"Don’t fight anymore, with the next move you will lose your life," the masked man shook his head and said.

"Even if it costs me my life, I will not be a traitor, nor will I bring shame to my Sect," Xie Yuhe roared angrily.

"Many things are not what you imagine them to be, you should go..." The masked man seemed not to want to kill Xie Yuhe, otherwise, with that move just now, he would have exerted his full strength, and Xie Yuhe would not still be alive.

"If I don’t kill you, I won’t have the face to return to my Sect..."

Xie Yuhe stubbornly bit her lip and coldly stared at the man with the mask, her whole body trembling. She was seriously injured and knew she was no match for this traitor from the Flying Knife Sect, but she wouldn’t leave. Even if she were to die today, she had to take this traitor down with her. Otherwise, how could she live up to over twenty years of her Sect’s nurturing?

The man with the mask, seeing Xie Yuhe recklessly charging toward him, seemed to hesitate and kept retreating. It was apparent that he was very reluctant to kill Xie Yuhe; he couldn’t bring himself to do it.

"If you kill her, you will be the Sect Leader of the Flying Knife Sect. If you don’t, it will be your own form and spirit that will be destroyed; all that you’ve done before will be in vain." A Divine Thought transmitted into the mind of the masked man, startling him. He turned to glance at Bei Lengshi sitting not far away and clenched his fists tightly.

"No, I cannot kill her, I cannot..." the masked man suddenly turned around and shouted loudly at Bei Lengshi.

Bei Lengshi frowned, not expecting the masked man to dare disobey his order. Right then, he flicked his finger, releasing a powerful Sword Energy that pierced through the fighting Formation and headed straight for the masked man and Xie Yuhe to kill them both.

Nobody expected Bei Lengshi to suddenly make a move, let alone a second time to kill his own people. Among those present, only the One Sword Taoist had the ability to contend with Bei Lengshi. He, too, hadn’t anticipated Bei Lengshi would be so despicably shameless as to interfere directly in the younger generation’s combat. He also swiftly unleashed his Martial Arts True Power.

Both Xie Yuhe and the masked man were taken by surprise by Bei Lengshi’s attack on them. The Sword Energy was extremely fast and powerful, piercing through the fight Formation and heading straight for them both.

"Junior sister, be careful..." the masked man upon seeing the Sword Energy first heading towards Xie Yuhe, couldn’t help but suddenly throw himself at Xie Yuhe.

Shhht!

A spray of blood splattered. Nobody had anticipated that, at the critical moment of life and death, this man with the mask would protect Xie Yuhe at all costs, holding her in his arms. The powerful Sword Energy first pierced through the chest of the man with the mask, then got dissipated by the wind slapped out by the One Sword Taoist.

"You..." Xie Yuhe looked at the masked man who had collapsed beside her, stunned, at a loss for what had happened.

"Junior sister, I’m sorry; I didn’t want this to happen, but once certain things are done, there’s no turning back..." the masked man said painfully.

Xie Yuhe was shocked; she recognized the man’s voice. Slowly, she reached out and removed the mask from the man’s face. Her whole being froze, her eyes filled with an expression of disbelief, and tears began to fall from her beautiful eyes.

"Why? Why? Why did you do this?" Xie Yuhe asked through her tearful sobs.

"Junior sister, I deserve to die for my crimes, but I, Jiang An, am not an evil man. I was just tempted for a moment and was used by Bei Lengshi..." Jiang An wept bitterly.

Nobody would have guessed that this masked man was actually the top disciple of the Flying Knife Sect, Xie Yuhe’s senior fellow, Jiang An. He had become a pawn of Bei Lengshi, representing the Songshan Sect and betraying his own Sect, the Flying Knife Sect. It was something unforeseen by all, something that would have been deemed impossible had they not witnessed it with their own eyes. Take Jiang An’s cultivation level, for example, he was among the best of the younger generation, and as the senior disciple of the Flying Knife Sect, who was supposed to inherit the position of Sect Leader, one would never imagine he would betray his Sect to serve the Songshan Sect. It was truly unexpected.

"Senior brother, you..." Xie Yuhe’s mind was in turmoil, unsure what to say or ask.

"Junior sister, listen to me. Tell our master, several traitors have emerged from our Flying Knife Sect. It’s not just me who was used by Bei Lengshi, but two elders as well. Bei Lengshi wants to destabilize the Flying Knife Sect, to control it with his people and cause internal strife," Jiang An said, holding onto Xie Yuhe’s hand tightly.

"Senior brother..." Xie Yuhe looked at Jiang An with a pained heart. Not only was his chest gravely injured, but his Divine Thought had also been scattered by Bei Lengshi’s Martial Arts True Power. No one could save him.

"Junior sister, it’s all my fault, it was I who allowed myself to be used, but I... but I... I needed to protect you, wanted you to live well. I’m sorry..." After he spoke, Jiang An closed his eyes and met an end where both his form and spirit were destroyed. Many present shook their heads; the seven emotions and six desires are things no one can transcend, yet they often become a fatal strike for many, how tragic and lamentable! (To be continued.
