Chapter 0422 – The Grand Finale – Absolute Return

At the time of the life-and-death duel, Sword Wuji asked a windy question: which direction do you prefer, southeast, northwest, or north?

“What do you mean by that?”

Xia Jie was doubtful in his mind, of course he wouldn’t believe that Jian Wuji simply wanted to know his preferences, he must have wanted to use this method to disturb his mind.

‘It’s psychological warfare!’

He said in his heart, in that case, let’s play with him.

“I like the west.” Summer Knot said indifferently, he decided to take the trick and see what tricks Jian Wuji was trying to pull.

“It’s a pity, why did it have to be the west side? There are handsome teenagers in the east, intelligent and talented women in the south, and mysterious tall people in the north, but it’s the west side ……” Jian Wuji shook his head, a hint of regret in his tone.

As Summer Knot sniffed, he became even more puzzled, and he was completely at a loss as to what exactly Sword Wuji was talking about.

These words, to his ears, were inexplicable.

“Young Sect Master, don’t try to make a fool of yourself here, I’m not that easy to fall for.” Xia Jie laughed coldly, he was calm and collected on the surface, but his heart had already raised its guard.

He knew that Jian Wuji was by no means an idle person, he had just lightly killed seven of his subordinates, a strength that he had to be afraid of.

‘What the hell is he trying to do?’

Summer Knot’s mind was filled with doubt.

Jian Wuji looked at Xia Knot and said in his heart, ”I was going to try and see if I could summon only the demons from the west, but now it seems that it’s better to forget about it.”

With the growing refinement of the Nine Phantoms Demon Skill, he was already able to initially control those demons, he originally wanted to try and see if he could summon only the demons from the west to scare Xia Jie, but after a second thought, he gave up.

”It’s better not to take any chances, in case we can’t control those demons, it’ll be troublesome.”

What’s more, he didn’t want to kill Summer Knot right now, he still needed to learn the whereabouts of the Blood Demon from Summer Knot.

“I’ve changed my mind.” Jian Wuji said.

“What do you mean?” Summer Knot asked.

“I originally wanted to show you, the power of the Nine Specter Demonic Skill, but now it seems that it’s better to forget about it.” Jian Wuji said, “I don’t want to, dirty my hands.”

When Xia Jie heard this, his heart became even more puzzled, he didn’t understand at all what exactly Jian Wuji was talking about.

“Don’t you dare pretend to be here!” Summer Knot roared, “I’m not intimidated!”

Anger churned in his heart as he felt that he had been tricked by Jian Wuji.

He no longer hesitated and decided to let go of the fight, he wanted to make Jian Wuji, pay the price for his contempt!

“I’ll kill you today!”

Xia Jie roared, his body transformed into a blood shadow and lunged towards Jian Wuji.

The long sword in his hand carried a strong bloody aura, as if it wanted to devour Jian Wuji.

Sword Wuji stood still, motionless, as if he was intimidated by Xia Jie’s aura and stayed frozen on the spot.

However, just as Summer Knot’s long sword, was about to stab his chest, a cold flash suddenly flashed through his eyes.

“Clang!”

A sound of gold and iron clashing rang out, and Xia Jie’s long sword was steadily blocked by Jian Wuji’s Black Demon Sword.

Xia Jie was shocked in his heart, he didn’t expect that Jian Wuji would be able to block his attack so easily.

He hastily drew back his longsword and stabbed towards Jian Wu Ji once again.

However, it was as if Jian Wuji had predicted his attack, and with a slight sideways movement of his body, he easily dodged his attack.

“You ……”

Xia Jie was shocked in his heart, he had never seen, such a powerful sword technique.

Jian Wuji’s sword technique was as fast as lightning and unpredictable, and he was unable to capture Jian Wuji’s sword moves at all.

“Go to hell!”

Xia Jie roared, injecting his body’s true qi, unreservedly, into the long sword.

His longsword, at once, erupted with a dazzling blood light, toward Jian Wuji, chopping his head off.

However, Sword Wuji remained unchanged, the Black Demon Sword in his hand, with a flick of his hand, dissolved Xia Jie’s attack into nothing.

“Your blood kung fu, it’s useless to me.”

Jian Wuji said indifferently, a hint of disdain in his tone.

When Xia Jie heard this, his heart became even more shocked, how could he not expect that his blood work would be ineffective against Jian Wuji.

He hastily retreated, wanting to pull away from Jian Wu Ji and rethink his countermeasures.

However, Jian Wuji pressed on step by step, not giving him any chance to catch his breath.

“You won’t get away with it.”

Jian Wuji said coldly, his tone filled with killing intent.

Summer Knot despaired in his heart, he knew that he, himself, had fallen into a desperate situation.

“What do you really want?” He asked, a hint of desperation in his tone.

“I want, the whereabouts of your master.” Jian Wuji said, his tone cold and unquestionable.

“Don’t you dare!” Summer Knot gritted her teeth, “I won’t tell you even if I die!”

“Is that so?” Jian Wuji sneered and said, “Let’s give it a try then.”

After saying that, he once again rushed towards Summer Knot, and the Black Demon Sword transformed into a black lightning bolt, aiming straight for Summer Knot’s throat.

Summer Knot closed his eyes in despair, knowing that he, himself, was dead.

Right at this moment, Summer Knot suddenly felt that a powerful force, wrapped him up, and then, his body, uncontrollably, flew up.

He opened his eyes and saw that he, himself, was being lifted by Jian Wuji in his hands, while Jian Wuji’s Black Demon Sword, was pressed against his throat.

“You ……”

Xia Jie looked at Jian Wuji in shock, a look of fear in her eyes.

How could he not expect that he, himself, would be subdued by Jian Wuji so easily?

“Now, are you willing to tell me the whereabouts of your master?” Jian Wuji asked, his tone cold and unquestionable.

Xia Jie looked at Jian Wuji, and a hint of struggle flashed in her eyes.

He knew that if he told Jian Wuji about his master’s whereabouts, he would have betrayed his master.

However, if he didn’t tell Jian Wuji, he would die.

“I ……”

He hesitated, not knowing what to do.

“You have no choice.” Jian Wuji said coldly, “Either, tell me, or, die.”

Xia Jie looked at Jian Wuji, and a hint of struggle flashed in her eyes.

In the end, he made his decision.

“I’ll tell you what.” He said, his tone full of hopelessness and despair.

“Very well.” Jian Wuji nodded and said, “Speak.”

Xia Jie took a deep breath and said, “My master, is in the mountains behind the Northern Blood Sect, in a hidden cave.”

“Take me.” Jian Wuji said.

“Yes.”

Xia Jie helplessly agreed, and he led Jian Wuji towards the back mountain of the Northern Blood Sect.

Yang Shi looked at the backs of the two departing men with fear and despair in his eyes.

He knew that he, himself, was completely finished.

……

“Why did you save me?”

On the way, Summer Knot looked at Jian Wuji and asked.

“Because, I want to know, the whereabouts of your master.” Jian Wuji said.

“Aren’t you afraid, I’ll lie to you?” Summer Knot asked.

“Not afraid.” Jian Wuji said, “Because, I know that you don’t dare to lie to me.”

Summer Knot sniffed and fell silent.
