Chapter 1132: Nothing Parting

Chapter 1131 – A Know-Nothing Parting

Nanke had no hope that her two maids could cause Zhexiu any trouble.

She only needed her two maids to attack.

That branch that had silently burned to ash contained a fierce poison, and it had also activated a killing array on the terrace.

She had also prepared twenty-nine plans for Zhexiu.

This was an ambush that she had prepared for a very long time.

Nanke's capabilities meant that this ambush was flawless. Every particular was perfect.

As long as Zhexiu had not prepared beforehand, he would definitely be defeated and then killed by her.

Even though he was now a peak Star Condensation expert, even though he had been publicly acknowledged ever since he was a child as a master in fighting.

Had Zhexiu expected Nanke to suddenly attack him?

The front of his shoes burst apart, revealing sharp and bright claws.

His body suddenly grew larger while his face and hands bristled with fur.

In an extremely short amount of time, his Qi grew several times stronger.

Without even walking out of the room, he had entered berserk metamorphosis. Then, gathering all his strength, he exploded toward Nanke!

How had he seen through her plans?

Nanke had a somewhat perplexed expression as she watched those gleaming claws slice through the air.

Those emotions were immediately expelled, her eyes turning as bright as the Moon in the snowy night.

Moonlight shone on the leaves outside the room, instantly dying them green.

Two streams of light penetrated through the wall and came behind her, forming into two wings of light.

In the narrow room, Nanke transformed into a blur. Through ten-some instantaneous movements, she managed to avoid Zhexiu's attack.

The room simply could not endure this. In a burst of snaps and creaks, it shattered into thousands of pieces that rained down to the ground.

The leaves on the branches also rustled down, much like rain.

In this downpour of leaves and wood shards, two figures descended.

Two heavy thuds resounded through the air as they crashed to the ground, sending dirt flying.

Zhexiu's clothes were torn all over, each cut extremely smooth and tinged with dark green.

Some of the cuts were deeper than the rest and had blood surging out. The red mixing with green looked both strange and disgusting.

The Peacock Plume was Nanke's most terrifying weapon. Not even Chen Changsheng's skin, toughened through perfect Purification and a bath of dragon blood, could fully stop it, and neither could Zhexiu.

Zhexiu's eyes were already red because of the berserk metamorphosis, but now they were dirt-yellow, probably because he had been poisoned.

Nanke's wounds were even worse. A massive tear had been made on her left wing and a deep wound had been left on her neck. The blood flowing out, however, was black.

"How did you know that I would move tonight?"

Nanke had decided to leave long ago. Even if she waited until tomorrow, the result would be the same.

Tomorrow, Zhexiu would tell the Mount Li Sword Sect, and she had no confidence in breaking through Mount Li's Myriad Sword Array.

Compared to tomorrow, it was far better to act first today.

"I didn't know that you would move today."

Zhexiu said, "I was intending to strike and kill you."

It was the same reasoning.

He knew that Nanke would not change her mind, so he might as well bring the matter to a close today.

Nanke had been brought to Mount Li by Chen Changsheng, making this an internal matter of the Orthodox Academy. He did not want to involve the Mount Li Sword Sect in it.

"Your poison cannot kill me."

Nanke rubbed the blood on her neck and licked her fingers.

The most poisonous being in the world was the Surpassing Bird.

The Surpassing Bird was the Peacock.

She was the Peacock.

Zhexiu replied, "Although your poison is formidable, it's also very difficult for it to kill me."

Back in the Garden of Zhou, he had been poisoned by Nanke and gone blind. With Qi Jian on his back, he ran around the Plains of the Unsetting Sun.

After leaving the Garden of Zhou, he was sent into Zhou Prison, where the poison remained. Only after he was taken back to the Orthodox Academy by Chen Changsheng and Tang Thirty-Six, and spent an extremely long period of convalescence, was it finally cured.

Nanke's poison had spent such a long time in his body that he had actually developed resistance to it.

This naturally had to do with his unique constitution.

Nanke said, "I didn't expect that you would launch a sneak attack on me."

Zhexiu replied, "I'm a hunter."

When he was very young, he had been driven out of the Wolf tribe. Forced to live out a bitter life on the snowy plains, he lived by hunting monsters and demons.

He fought so that he could live, a goal that he would accomplish through any means.

When he needed to kill his foe, he would never show mercy or kindness.

Nanke pondered this, finally saying, "It's been too long, so I've somewhat forgotten."

Zhexiu agreed, "Yes, we've all lived in this place for too long."

This place was not the cruel and bloody snowbound land of the demons where one had to fight for their life the moment they opened their eyes.

This was the warm and comfortable plain of the south. The sword glows from Mount Li were mostly meant for probing, not for killing.

They had lived here for many years and almost forgotten about many things.

Zhexiu added, "I'm very regretful."

That you're not willing to continue living here with everyone else truly leaves me very regretful.

That I have to kill also makes me very regretful.

The Peacock Plume and its green glow once more clashed with the sharp wolf claws.

A sword glow came from the west, standing between them. It was by no means an awe-inspiring sword intent, but it was clear as water. It was both soft and hard to break and seemed like it could persist forever.

A languid voice came with it.

"This being the case, why add to your regrets?"

Zhexiu and Nanke were both gravely wounded at the moment, but there were very few people that could block them both with a single sword.

The Mount Li Sword Sect had many experts, but only eight or nine of them were capable of such a feat, and with such a lazy voice, it could only be Qiushan Jun.

Gou Hanshi had come. Liang Banhu, Guan Feibai, and Bai Cai had come. Qi Jian had also come.

She said in anguish to Nanke, "Aunt, can't you just stay?"

"I was born there. I grew up there. I walked there and I flew there. I was only two streets away from the Moon."

Nanke said, "Now, that place is about to be destroyed by you humans. I have to do something for it."

The wind rustled the leaves on the ground, but this only seemed to make things feel quieter.

After some time, Qiushan Jun spoke once more.

"Goodbye then. I won't send you off."

Nanke was not surprised, nor did she thank him. She said to Qiushan Jun, Gou Hanshi, and the others, "All of you will go there, so I'll meet you then."

That place was naturally Xuelao City.

In the last few years, they had been comrades who had sat around bonfires and cooked meat, sung songs, danced, and compared swords. When they next met, they would be enemies to the bitter end.

This was something worthy of being sorrowful about, but why did it also feel so uninteresting?

Qiushan Jun sighed as he watched that stream of light vanish into the darkness. Out of the corner of his eyes, he saw Zhexiu's complexion and he couldn't help but frown.

His junior sister's husband was fine in everything else. It was just his nature that was too cold.

"Chen Changsheng sent a letter that said that if Nanke insisted on leaving, we shouldn't stop her."

Gou Hanshi added, "He did not say how he knew that Nanke had awakened."

In his view, Nanke was a trouble that Chen Changsheng had brought to Mount Li. Since Chen Changsheng had made arrangements, Zhexiu had no reason to object.

"Do you want to guess how many black-armored cavalry Nanke will poison to death in the future?"

Zhexiu did not hold the same view as Gou Hanshi, and he even highly disapproved of Chen Changsheng's actions.

"The spirit, openness, and friendship that you and Chen Changsheng want to display has always been idiocy in my eyes."

Guan Feibai sneered, "What do you know?"

"With regards to war, all of you truly know nothing at all."

With this impassive remark, Zhexiu turned and left.

Qi Jian ran after him.
