Chapter 1102: Chapter 1102: Wandering the Martial World with a Sword (Part 6)
Anxi Town remains lively.
The streets are filled with a variety of stalls, full of the bustling atmosphere of life.
Ming Xian walks on the street, the noisy sounds around him seem to be separated from him by a whole world.
Children gathered in front of the sugar figure stall, bargaining customers, shop assistants greeting guests…
Everyone seems distant from him.
Someone bumped into Ming Xian, anger on their face: “Can’t you see where you’re going?”
Ming Xian seemed not to hear and continued walking forward.
Where is he going?
Where can he go?
There’s no answer in Ming Xian’s heart.
–
In another street of Anxi Town.
Zhao Fu rushed up the road, pushing open the door of her senior brother Liang Xuan’s room: “Senior Brother, I saw that Demon Head Ming Xian!”
“Ming Xian?”
“Yes, right over there!” Zhao Fu nodded, “Senior Brother, he’s really hiding here, let’s go quickly!”
Liang Xuan picked up his weapon and headed downstairs with Zhao Fu: “Xiao Fu, did you notify the nearby sects?”
“Not yet.” Zhao Fu said, “Senior Brother, I saw that Demon Head doesn’t seem to be in good shape; he must have been seriously injured last time. We can definitely catch him if we work together. We can notify them after we catch him, it’s not too late.”
Liang Xuan knew Ming Xian was poisoned.
But he still thought it best to be cautious.
“Don’t be reckless, notify them quickly.”
Liang Xuan insisted Zhao Fu notify others, so Zhao Fu had to comply, but she never actually sent out the message.
If she captures the Demon Head, it’ll be a great merit.
If others are notified, wouldn’t the credit be shared with others?
“He’s right over there.”
Zhao Fu led the way, and turning a street corner, they indeed saw Ming Xian in his white clothes.
His steps were slow; though he wore a half mask, from the exposed lip color, he was clearly not in good condition.
Last time, when the Brahman Immortal Sect was besieged, Ming Xian fell off a cliff. They sent people down to search but didn’t see him, so they assumed Ming Xian was still alive.
“Ming Xian!”
Liang Xuan blocked Ming Xian’s path.
The surrounding citizens froze for two seconds and quickly retreated, leaving a large open space.
Ming Xian raised his gaze to the other side, his cold and sharp eyes scanned over his face, landing on his body, and slowly returned to his face.
He remembered this person.
Back in the Brahman Immortal Sect, he was quite close to Chuzheng.
The Brahman Immortal Sect was easily breached, likely due to this person’s contribution.
Ming Xian tightly gripped the sword in his hand. Liang Xuan wanted to say something, but Zhao Fu, impulsively, drew her sword and charged forward directly.
“What are you waiting for, Senior Brother! Capture this Demon Head!”
“Junior Sister!”
Liang Xuan felt helpless and quickly took out his weapon, joining Zhao Fu in the attack.
Ming Xian’s body was weak. Although Liang Xuan and Zhao Fu couldn’t immediately subdue Ming Xian, he was still at a disadvantage against them.
Ming Xian couldn’t utilize his inner strength, only relying on techniques and speed to dodge.
However, his speed was also slowing down more and more.
Severe exhaustion of physical strength.
Zing—
Swords clashed, sparks flew.
“Ming Xian, stop resisting; in your condition, you’re no match for us!” Liang Xuan shouted.
Under the mask, Ming Xian’s eyes held a chilling coldness.
As the force from his wrist suddenly relaxed, Liang Xuan’s sword pressed downward, and Ming Xian took advantage to twist his sword, stabbing toward Liang Xuan’s chest.
Zhao Fu’s sword came from the side, startling Ming Xian slightly, causing him to step back.
Liang Xuan and Zhao Fu were senior and junior siblings, having mutual understanding. While Zhao Fu attacked, Liang Xuan seized the moment and struck Ming Xian’s sword away.
The long sword was flicked up, flying into the air, eventually falling into the stream beside amid the drifting willow catkins.
Ming Xian suddenly went motionless.
His entire action appeared to be pressed pause.
He slowly turned his head, looking at the subtle ripples on the creek water.
Liang Xuan held the sword at Ming Xian’s neck.
“Stop struggling.” Liang Xuan looked at him with confident victory.
Ming Xian’s body swayed slightly, softening toward the ground, but he never showed any sign of submission, his gaze at Liang Xuan was fierce and intimidating.
Bang—
The sword in Liang Xuan’s hand was suddenly knocked away, Ming Xian only felt a slight tug at his waist, then his whole body was caught by someone.
“It’s you again!”
Zhao Fu pointed her sword at Chuzheng.
It was this woman last time, who injured Liang Xuan.
She shouted loudly, “The person in your hands is the infamous Demon Head Ming Xian, do you really want to associate with him?”
Zhao Fu didn’t know Chuzheng, nor did she know what happened when Liang Xuan was undercover inside the Brahman Immortal Sect.
Chuzheng supported Ming Xian to stand steady, her eyes sweeping across coldly: “If he were not Ming Xian, I wouldn’t need to rescue him.”
Zhao Fu was shocked: “You…”
Liang Xuan pulled Zhao Fu over: “She’s with the Brahman Immortal Sect.”
Zhao Fu’s shock turned to disgust.
Liang Xuan had some fear of Chuzheng, last time when she acted unexpectedly, even though it was sudden, Liang Xuan was unsure if he could win if they really fought.
Liang Xuan took a deep breath: “Chuzheng, it’s not too late to turn back! Don’t make more mistakes!”
Chuzheng’s palm gently stroked Ming Xian’s back, pausing slightly at Liang Xuan’s words, but after a moment she calmly continued to pat his back.
“It’s a coincidence, I have something to discuss with you.” Delivered right to my doorstep, don’t blame me for being blunt.
Chuzheng supported Ming Xian to sit by: “Wait for me.”
–
Chuzheng could defeat Liang Xuan once, naturally, she could defeat him a second time.
Even with Zhao Fu as a helper, they were not a match for Chuzheng.
Zhao Fu was easily tied up with something by Chuzheng and tossed to the ground.
She grabbed Liang Xuan, pressing him beside the stream, Liang Xuan saw their reflections in the water.
The stream flowed, disturbing their reflections.
“Does the drug you gave Ming Xian have an antidote?”
Liang Xuan’s nose touched the water surface, he lifted his head: “Chuzheng, you were the one who administered that drug.”
“Yes, it was me.” Chuzheng calmly pushed his head into the water.
Gurgle…
“What are you doing! Let go of my senior brother!!”
Zhao Fu shouted from behind.
Chuzheng pulled Liang Xuan up, he gasped for fresh air in big gulps.
“If it weren’t for you, I wouldn’t be in such trouble now.” Chuzheng’s voice resonated in Liang Xuan’s ears.
“I’ll ask you one more time, is there an antidote?”
Liang Xuan: “He’s a ruthless Demon Head, why are you helping him? Did he threaten you? I was planning to find you at the Brahman Immortal Sect, but I got caught up, I… gurgle…”
Chuzheng timed it, pulling Liang Xuan up just as he was about to suffocate.
Liang Xuan’s eyes were bloodshot, breathing in the fresh air deeply.
He was afraid Chuzheng would push him down again, so he shouted directly: “There’s no antidote, no antidote, it’s Jun Bugu, incurable.”
Chuzheng pushed Liang Xuan down again.
“Really… there isn’t, you can ask around, people in the martial world all know, Jun Bugu is incurable!!”
“I’m telling the truth.”
Gurgle…
Chuzheng repeated the action several times, Liang Xuan gave the same answer each time.
“Who gave you the drug?”
At this moment, Liang Xuan answered whatever was asked: “I got it by accident.”
Chuzheng’s eyes narrowed slightly: “Is there any left?”
“No more, no more.” Liang Xuan shook his head, his voice trembling: “That’s all of it, all given to you.”
