Chapter 159
Two lights were fighting each other like dragons. They created such a disturbance that even the nearby trees were affected, and the rocks there were cut open.
“The Rainbow Sword Method: Three Movements in One!”
“The Sky Hibernating Sword Method: The Sky is Where You Look Back!”
The lights hit each other with all of their strength, but they didn’t linger. After a brief encounter, the two lights, both different colors, changed their positions and stopped.
Jiang Chen and Tang Ke turned around at the same time, looking at each other.
Jiang Chen was close to his limit, panting and looking pale.
He took the chance to take a handful of Revival Elixirs.
Tang Ke was greatly surprised. He looked at Jiang Chen as if he were a ghost, then laid his eyes on Jiang Chen’s sword.
“Jiang Chen, are you gonna kill me? I’m your apprentice brother. You won’t be able to walk away from killing a sibling disciple!” Tang Ke shouted.
“Key Disciple Tang Ke was jealous of his sibling disciple and tried to kill him. He even intended to violate Apprentice Sister Li,” Jiang Chen mocked.
He wasn’t really accusing Tang Ke, but said this in a teasing tone.
Tang Ke realized what he meant. It was exactly what he himself had done.
Your words would only matter when you were alive to share them. There were no other people around. Right or wrong would be decided by the one who left alive.
Tang Ke saw the sneer on Jiang Chen’s face. He was reluctant and frightened. He didn’t think about asking for Jiang Chen’s mercy until the latter came up to him, but when he made eye contact with Jiang Chen, he realized that even if he asked, the latter wouldn’t let him go.
“Jiang Chen, what are you doing?”
Li Xue’er’s voice suddenly appeared.
Both Tang Ke and Jiang Chen were surprised. Li Xue’er had just woken up. She tried to prop herself up.
“Apprentice sister!”
Tang Ke saw his chance. He shouted loudly, “Jiang Chen is evil. I came here by accident and saw him climbing off your body. Both your clothes and hair were a mess, so I tried to get rid of this b*stard on behalf of the school, but he got his strength back and launched a surprise attack on me. Now he wants to kill me!”
The most wonderful thing about Tang Ke was that he believed the lies he told.
Li Xue’er was dumbfounded, then felt the corset next to her skin was sliding down because the strings at the back of the corset weren’t laced.
That meant it had been taken off!
As calm as Li Xue’er normally was, she was still shocked.
She stood up slowly. When she was about to ask something, she was surprised that her strength hadn’t degraded and she wasn’t feeling weak at all.
She noticed the primordial yuan nearby and thought of a possibility.
She looked to Jiang Chen emotionally.
“I was heavily injured. Jiang Chen helped me escape. It was natural that I was a mess,” Li Xue’er said.
“But… but apprentice sister, you were in a coma. I couldn’t tell whether he was lying or not, so I asked him to lock himself up and stay locked until you woke up. Look, the iron chain is still there, but he broke the lock!
“Besides, apprentice sister, you’re so beautiful. No one can promise they won’t do anything bad to you while you’re in a coma,” Tang Ke said emotionally.
“Cut it out. It’s an unwarranted accusation. When we go back, I’ll ask the leader to look through the Abacus of Good Fortune.”
Li Xue’er didn’t want to talk about it. When she saw Jiang Chen’s sword was only a couple of feet from Tang Ke, she said, “Jiang Chen, don’t kill a sibling disciple.”
Tang Ke was pleasantly surprised. He looked at Jiang Chen with aggression.
What else could Jiang Chen do, since Li Xue’er had opened her mouth?
“Fine,” Jiang Chen answered, but he struck the Redcloud Sword down and cut Tang Ke’s throat open.
“You… you…”
The aggression was still on his face, while his throat was bleeding. He died with his eyes open, staring at Jiang Chen.
“Jiang Chen, you—!” Li Xue’er was also surprised. A gleam showed in her eyes.
