Chapter 1092 - 293: Jasmine Tears of Longing, Celestial Frost Blade Reflects Lovers’ Fate

Lan Xiaodie’s martial arts had become much stronger compared to before, and when her Green Phosphorus Sword was unsheathed, the green glow reflected a murderous intent in her eyes: "The Five Poison Sect will not allow wolves to run rampant!" She executed the "Hundred Poison Soul-Seeking Sword" like a spiritual snake emerging from its hole, the tip of the sword surrounded by a purple mist, sizzling the air as it passed.

Yet Hu Langxing had practiced the "Black Bone Asura Technique," making him impervious to poison, and he reached for the blade barehanded.

Seizing the opportunity, Tang Qianji threw out Bone-Piercing Nails, while Yue Wuying’s Blood Saber ghost-like came from the side-rear, its light dyeing the air blood-red.

Lan Xiaodie swiftly spun her body, the Green Phosphorus Sword executing a move "Poison Dragon Swings its Tail," deflecting Yue Wuying’s Blood Saber half a foot away.

Suddenly, she felt a chill behind her neck; Tang Qianji’s iron claw was already there, its fingertips coated with "Three-Step Intestine-Breaking Powder" glimmering ominously under the moonlight.

Lan Xiaodie gritted her teeth and spun around, her sword veering off course to stab at Hu Langxing’s face, but she heard a clang as the Nine-Ring Saber heavily struck her Green Phosphorus Sword, the recoil numbing her palm. She truly did not expect Hu Langxing’s martial arts to have progressed so far.

Hu Langxing sneered: "Your little poison skills are nothing but child’s play in front of me!" The blade twisted, aiming directly at her throat.

Lan Xiaodie narrowly dodged aside, only to see Yue Wuying’s Blood Saber brush past her waist, her clothes slashed open, her skin turning bluish-purple. As Tang Qianji’s Bone-Piercing Nails came at her like a torrential rain, she swung her sword to block, but heard several "thud" sounds, her right leg already pierced with two nails, the blood instantly staining her skirt red.

Lan Xiaodie leaned against the cave wall, panting, as the purple mist on the Green Phosphorus Sword gradually thinned.

Watching the three figures closing in step by step, she recalled Shi Feiyang’s apparition defending the people.

"Is it possible... that I am truly going to perish here?" She gripped the sword hilt tightly, her nails digging deep into her palm, "No! Now that I understand right from wrong, even in death, I shall die with honor!"

The metallic taste of blood filled her mouth as Lan Xiaodie leaned against the stone wall, panting, watching the three figures step closer, she seemed to see Shi Feiyang’s apparition defending the people again. "Is it possible... that I truly am going to perish here?"

She gripped the sword hilt tightly, blood oozing from her fingertips, "No! Now that I see clearly the boundary between good and evil, even in death, I shall die honorably!" Although the purple mist on the Green Phosphorus Sword had thinned, at this moment, it suddenly surged, her eyes reflecting a more resolute determination.

Outside the cave, the poisonous miasma surged like a tide, as if intending to forever seal this battle of betrayal and steadfastness in the blood-soaked dark night.

In the nick of time, a figure tore through the sky. Shi Feiyang’s Celestial Frost Blade carved out a half-moon of ice, his "Bright Jade Technique" driven to the "Supreme Forgetting Emotions Ice Soul Cold Prison" state, where the knife’s energy reached, Hu Langxing’s saber wind instantly froze.

"You impudent traitors!" Shi Feiyang’s voice was like a great bell, "Do you realize your crime in attempting to divide the Five Poison Sect?" Like a ghost, he flickered behind Tang Qianji, fiercely thrusting with the Divine Dragon Technique, loudly rebuking: "A mere rat of the Tang Sect, dare to act insolently here?" Tang Qianji flicked his hand, throwing Bone-Piercing Nails, simultaneously executing the "Tang Family’s Mysterious Step," yet saw Shi Feiyang diving like an eagle, claw reaching straight for his face.

Yue Wuying, seeing the unfavorable situation, transformed his scimitar into a flash of blood, executing the "Blood Saber Thirteen Forms."

Shi Feiyang snorted coldly, the Celestial Frost Blade dancing a myriad of saber shadows, from the "Hundred Victories Saber Technique," he unleashed the move "Cloud-Piercing Style," which crashed down mightily. Yue Wuying raised his saber to block, yet felt a chill travelling up the blade, looking down to see his legs already frozen with frost.

Seeing the dire situation, Hu Langxing’s Nine-Ring Saber whirled wildly, attempting to break through.

Lan Xiaodie shouted, the Green Phosphorus Sword transformed into a green snake, striking straight for his throat. In his haste, Hu Langxing swung his saber to block, yet heard a "crack," the blade surprisingly cut off. Shi Feiyang timely followed with a strike, the ice-blue blade energy piercing through his chest, Hu Langxing’s eyes widened, slowly collapsing.

Tang Qianji, seeing the dire situation, turned to flee, but was caught in mid-air by Shi Feiyang’s "Snow Blood Claw" divine skill, which whipped up a whirlwind, pulling Tang Qianji towards Shi Feiyang and then heavily slamming him to the ground.

Shi Feiyang lifted his foot to step down.

"Crack!" Tang Qianji’s head was crushed, red and white matter splattered everywhere, the remaining corpse rolled about on the ground, highly displeasing to the eyes.

Yue Wuying used all his strength, his scimitar aiming straight for Shi Feiyang’s back, only to see Lan Xiaodie’s Soft Sword flash like lightning, piercing his back.

As the dust settled, Lan Xiaodie sheathed her sword, looked at Shi Feiyang with tear-filled eyes of gratitude, choked up, saying: "Thank you, Hero Shi, for saving my life." Shi Feiyang thrust the Celestial Frost Blade into the ground, his voice deep: "Master Lan, now that the Five Poison Sect is leaderless, facing internal strife and external threats. My Celestial Demon Sect wishes to ally with the Five Poison Sect to resist outer enemies. What does Master Lan think?"

Lan Xiaodie gazed at Shi Feiyang, recalling the scenes of him defending against foreign threats in the apparition, feeling stirred in her heart: "If you can assure the safety of the Five Poison Sect, I am willing to lead the sect to join. However..." She paused, "I have a condition."

Shi Feiyang laughed heartily: "Speak without hesitation!"

With a determined gaze, Lan Xiaodie said, "I must personally command the Five Poison Sect, and within the sect, the Celestial Demon Sect must not interfere in its affairs."

Shi Feiyang nodded and said, "Alright! From now on, the Five Poison Sect shall be a branch of the Celestial Demon Sect, and I will ensure your safety!"

At this moment, as the morning mist cleared, sunlight fell upon the Five Poison Sect Headquarters, making the ground-stained blood appear shockingly bright.

Thus the rebellion within the Five Poison Sect was quelled.

Once, Lan Xiaodie vowed to have Shi Feiyang pay for his blood debts, yet now, that hatred, like morning dew under the scorching sun of memory, rapidly evaporated. "Prepare the tea." She tidied her hair in front of the bronze mirror, and when her fingertips touched the snake-shaped jade bracelet left by her father, surprisingly, she removed it on impulse, "Use... the finest Yunwu tea." The maidservant responded and withdrew.
