Do You Know How to Capture a Villain? Chapter 24.4

Picking Her Up Once Again (4)

Ji Qingzhou rested both hands on his shoulders, clenched her arms tightly and jerked her head up.

When the Burial Snow Sword blocked the Soul Seeking Nails, they locked onto her again, with their sharp tips facing her eyes.

Ji Qingzhou opened her lips and let out a wordless exclamation. She forcefully suppressed her scream, and in an instant, she calculated the next trajectory of the Soul Seeking Nails.

"Xiao Yu-shixiong, move three inches to the right." Ji Qingzhou's words became clearer this time. "Then you can use your sword to block them. Their strength is at their weakest after switching directions, so you can deflect them away at the right time..."

"Deflect?" Shen Rongyu's hand avoided the wound on her waist. He merely parted his lips to coldly speak, murderous intent lacing his word.

He turned sideways, shifted three inches to the right, and then turned his head. The Burial Snow Sword and the Soul Seeking Nails collided again, and the thin blade could not stop trembling.

Shen Rongyu's lips pressed against Ji Qingzhou's ear. Under the tense clank of sword strikes, he coaxed enticingly, "Zhouzhou, tell me when the Soul Seeking Nails are weakest."

Ji Qingzhou felt that one side of her ear was extremely itchy. She stared at the Soul Seeking Nails that were knocked down. The nails were once again revived and jet towards them.

"One inch and two fractions above the tip, to the left of the ground." Ji Qingzhou squinted while calculating. Even if her eyes were poor, she could calculate the weakness of the Soul Seeking Nails according to the amplitude of its vibration in the air. After many blows with the Burial Snow Sword, the nails were already fragile.

Shen Rongyu surprisingly trusted her judgment. The icy glint on the Burial Snow Sword flashed. Where the sword blade passed, it slashed the moonlight, and the sharp sword tip directly stabbed the weakest point of the main nail.

There had to be a fulcrum inside the Soul Seeking Nails which connected to the cultivator who controlled them. If this fulcrum was destroyed, the Soul Seeking Nails would be out of control and cause a backlash.

These were magic weapons that drank blood, and once they were out of control, they could only head towards... their owner.

Shen Rongyu's sword smashed the connection between the Soul Seeking Nails and their owner. The nails were extremely hard to begin with, and it was difficult for the Burial Snow Sword to pierce a certain angle. Nonetheless, the place Ji Qingzhou said was indeed tricky.

The Soul Seeking Nails issued a crisp jingle, implying something getting damaged inside, and then left the place in a strange arc.

After Shen Rongyu withdrew the Burial Snow Sword, he locked on the Soul Seeking Nails in the distance. He intended to put Ji Qingzhou down and chase after them.

But Ji Qingzhou was obviously frightened by the Soul Seeking Nails. She gripped his sleeves, and visibly trembled all over.

Even though the battle was over, the image of the Soul Seeking Nails flying towards her couldn't help but keep popping up in her mind. The grim tip, only a hairbreadth away from stabbing her eyes out.

Even though the Soul Seeking Nails ricocheted, and the system's killing intent warnings had disappeared, she still lowered her head, caught in her shock.

Shen Rongyu failed to take Ji Qingzhou off him, so he chased after the nails with his sword. After searching in the forest for a long time to no avail, he heard a rustle on the shore of White Water Island.

He sheathed his sword and walked towards the shore.

On the shore of White Water Island, stood a familiar figure, tall and solemn, like a statue by the lake.

Ye Duanhong clutched his right arm, a faint stain of blood oozing out from his clothes. He raised his head at Shen Rongyu and Ji Qingzhou.

"It's already deep into the night. What manners are you showing, sticking together indecently like this?" Ye Duanhong frankly pointed out that the two's actions were inappropriate.

"Nightmares and some other things plagued her late at night, and she was scared," Shen Rongyu looked straight into Ye Duanhong's eyes, and began to talk nonsense again.

Ye Duanhong stared at Shen Rongyu, but didn't ask anything. He only said slowly, "It's not safe for you to stay on White Water Island."

"What do you mean by unsafe?" Shen Rongyu asked. His seemingly provocative smile remained calm, even a little pure and innocent.

— It was as if the person who ruthlessly countered an attack not long ago and let the Soul Seeking Nails cause a backlash was not him.

He could face Ye Duanhong calmly, because reasonably speaking, a disciple at the Golden Core stage was incapable of dealing with such dangerous magic weapons. Furthermore, even if he could defend himself against them, he should not have the ability to break through its defense and cause it to backfire.

"Someone released the Soul Seeking Nails on the island," Ye Duanhong mentioned it without hesitation, as if he had nothing to do with it. "I don't know who released it, but the master behind it is quite skilled, definitely not an ordinary person."

Shen Rongyu gently stroked the hilt of the Burial Snow Sword at his waist. He parted his lips and responded languidly, "In Xuanyun Sect, who else can manipulate such an evil magic weapon?"

"The Soul Seeking Nails are neither upright nor evil. It is only useful for killing people." Ye Duanhong shook his head and said, "I will send someone to strengthen the defense formation of the White Water Island tomorrow. Sukong is too lazy. There isn't a thread of barrier anywhere on the island."

"I will report the matter of the Soul Seeking Nails to the head of investigation. Rongyu, take Ji Qingzhou back with you," Ye Duanhong ordered him.

Ji Qingzhou has a strange feeling that their relationship had been exposed. In particular, the person involved was Ye Duanhong, who had always been serious. Her head was buried in Shen Rongyu's neck and she didn't dare to lift it up.

As for the conversations between Ye Duanhong and Shen Rongyu, she didn't capture any twists and turns. Moreover, Ye Duanhong sounded like he wasn't the person who wanted to kill her, but why did the Soul Seeking Nails hurt him?

She really didn't want to understand the ins and outs. She simply didn't want to. She just inwardly begged that person not to kill her again.

Killing her would do the Xuanyun Sect no good except for scrapping one less mouth to feed, right?
