Chapter 0420 – Fatal Battle – Absolute Return

The two men mounted their horses and prepared to continue their journey.

Just then, a black shadow, suddenly from the woods, rushed out.

“Look out!”

One of the guards shouted and hastily drew his longsword to meet them.

“Whoosh!”

A cold light flashed, and the guard, before he had time to react, had his throat sealed with a sword.

“Who are you?!” The other guard was shocked and asked as he hastily drew his longsword and pointed at the dark shadow.

“The one who took your life.” The dark shadow said coldly.

“You ……”

Before that guard could finish his sentence, he was stabbed through the heart by that black shadow, with a sword.

That black shadow was none other than Yang Shi.

In his hand, he held a black dagger, and on the dagger, blood was still dripping.

He walked over to the wagon and lifted the curtain with one hand.

“What are you?!”

In the carriage, a woman dressed in white, looked at Yang Shi in shock and asked.

“You don’t need to know who I am.” Yang Shi said coldly, “You only need to know that you, are mine.”

……

“Summer Knot, you’re here.”

The Northern Blood Sect Sect Master, looking at Xia Jie who walked into the great hall, said with a smile.

“Sect Master, you’re looking for me?” Summer Knot asked.

“‘Extreme Cold Body’, has been found.” The Northern Blood Sect Sect Master said.

“Really?” Summer Knot was overjoyed when she heard this.

“Yes.” The Northern Blood Sect Master nodded and said, “I’ve already sent someone, to pick him up.”

“Excellent!” Summer Knot said, “Sect Master, you are truly brilliant!”

“Haha ……,” the Northern Blood Sect Sect Master smiled and laughed triumphantly.

“Summer Knot, you will, from now on, be my heir.” He said.

“What?!” Summer Knot was shocked when she heard this.

“What did you …… you say, Gate Master?” He asked.

“I said, you, from now on, will be my successor.” The Northern Blood Sect Sect Master said, “You, will inherit my mantle and become the new Sect Master of the Northern Blood Sect.”

Xia Jie looked at the Northern Blood Sect Sect Master with shock and doubt in her eyes.

How could he not have expected that the Northern Blood Sect Sect Master, would establish him as his successor?

“Sect master, I …… am not worthy.” He said.

“You are worthy, of course you are.” The Northern Blood Sect Sect Master said, “You’re gifted, your martial arts are strong, and, you’re loyal to me, you, are my best successor.”

Xia Jie looked at the Northern Blood Sect Sect Master, and a hint of struggle flashed in his eyes.

He knew that the Northern Blood Sect Sect Master, the reason why he had made him his successor, was because he needed him.

He needed him, to fulfill his plan.

“I promise.” Eventually, he agreed.

He, for one, had no choice.

……

“Mr. Yang, you’re looking for me?”

Summer Knot looked at Yang Shi, who was standing in front of him, and asked.

“You, why did you betray me?” Yang Shi asked, his tone filled with anger and sadness.

“Betrayal?” Summer Knot sneered and said, “I’ve never been loyal to you.”

“You ……”

When Yang Shi heard this, he was instantly enraged, he drew his long sword, pointed at Xia Jie, and said, “I’m going to kill you!”

“Just by you?” Summer Knot smiled disdainfully and said, “You’re not qualified.”

After saying that, his figure flashed and he instantly arrived in front of Yang Shi, slapping his palm at Yang Shi’s chest.

Yang Shi hastily swung his sword to fend it off.

“Clang!”

With a loud sound, Xia Jie’s palm force, shook Yang Shi’s long sword, and sent it flying.

Yang Shi staggered back, a mouthful of blood, gushing out.

“You ……”

He looked at Summer Knot in horror, a look of fear in his eyes.

How could he not have expected that Summer Knot’s strength, was so powerful?

“What are you, really?” He asked.

“You don’t need to know.” Summer Knot said coldly, “You only need to know that you, are my enemy.”

After saying that, he once again slapped out his palm, and this time, he directly slapped at Yang Shi’s heavenly aperture.

Yang Shi closed his eyes in despair.

He knew that he, himself, was dead.

Just then, a black shadow, suddenly descended from the sky and blocked in front of Yang Shi.

“Bang!”

With a loud bang, Summer Knot’s palm force was blocked by that black shadow, by that black shadow.

“What are you?!” Summer Knot asked as she looked at the dark shadow.

“You don’t need to know.” The dark shadow said coldly, “You only need to know that you, have messed with the wrong person.”

That black shadow was none other than Sword Wuji.

He looked at Summer Knot, and a chill flashed in his eyes.

“You, seek death!”

……

“Brother Yang, long time no see.”

Jian Wuji looked at Yang Shi and said with a smile.

“How did you …… you get here?” Yang Shi looked at Jian Wuji and asked, his tone filled with surprise.

“I heard that you found the ‘Extreme Cold Body’.” Jian Wuji said, “So, I came over to take a look.”

“You ……”

Yang Shi looked at Jian Wuji, and a hint of fear flashed in his eyes.

How could he not expect that Jian Wuji, would even appear here?

“What do you, want to do?” He asked.

“I want, ‘Extreme Cold Body’.” Jian Wuji said.

“Don’t you dare!” Yang Shi said, “‘Extreme Cold Body’, it’s mine!”

“Is that so?” Jian Wuji sneered and said, “Then let’s see if you have the ability to snatch it, from my hands.”

After saying that, his figure flashed and he instantly arrived in front of Yang Shi, slapping his palm at Yang Shi’s chest.

Yang Shi hastily swung his sword to fend it off.

“Clang!”

With a loud sound, Jian Wuji’s palm force, shook Yang Shi’s long sword, and sent it flying.

Yang Shi staggered back, a mouthful of blood, gushing out.

“You ……”

He looked at Jian Wuji in horror, a look of fear in his eyes.

How could he not expect that Jian Wuji’s strength was so powerful?

“What are you, really?” He asked.

“You don’t need to know.” Jian Wuji said coldly, “You only need to know that you, are my enemy.”

After saying that, he once again slapped out his palm, and this time, he directly slapped at Yang Shi’s heavenly aperture.

Yang Shi closed his eyes in despair.

He knew that he, himself, was dead.

Right at this moment, a white shadow, suddenly descended from the sky and blocked in front of Yang Shi.

“Bang!”

With a loud sound, Jian Wuji’s palm force was blocked by that white shadow, by that white shadow.

“What are you?!” Jian Wuji asked as he looked at the white shadow.

“You don’t need to know.” The white shadow said coldly, “You only need to know that you, have messed with the wrong person.”

That white shadow was none other than Cold Snow.

She looked at Jian Wuji, and a trace of coldness flashed in her eyes.

“You, seek death!”

……

“Fairy Cold, why are you stopping me?” Jian Wuji looked at Cold Snow and asked.

“Because he, is my friend.” Coldsnow said.

“Friend?” Jian Wuji let out a cold laugh and said, “You actually betrayed me for a friend?”

“I didn’t betray you.” Coldsnow said, “I just, didn’t want to see him die.”

“Is that so?” Jian Wuji said, “So you, then, are on his side, against me?”

“I’m not against you.” Coldsnow said, “I’m just, trying to stop you.”

“Stop me?” Jian Wuji sneered and said, “Do you think that you can stop me?”

“Just try it and see.” Coldsnow said.

After saying that, she drew her longsword, pointed at Jian Wu Ji, and said, “Come on!”

Jian Wuji looked at Cold Snow, a complex look flashing in his eyes.

How could he not have expected that Cold Snow, would turn against him for the sake of a friend?

“Fine.” In the end, he sighed and said, “Since you’re adamant about this, don’t blame me for not being polite.”

With that, he drew his Black Demon Sword, pointed at Cold Snow, and said, “Come on!”

The two men looked at each other with murderous anger.

A great battle is about to break out!
