When the seven-colored sword Formation flew out, it left a rainbow-colored light in its wake. This caused a commotion in Bloody Specter City.
“What’s that?”
“What’s that seven-colored light?”
“It looks like it’s heading toward the City Governor’s estate!”
“How impressive! Is some powerhouse visiting Bloody Specter City or is the powerhouse a friend of Lord City Governor?”
…
In the City Governor’s estate in Bloody Specter City.
Similar to the people of Bloody Specter City, the people from the City Governor’s estate were alarmed when they saw the seven-colored light landing in the courtyard of the main hall in the City Governor’s estate.
A loud voice tinged with anxiety rang in the air before the person who had spoken was seen. “I’m Liu Feng Gu, the City Governor of Bloody Specter City. I apologize for failing to welcome you at the entrance of Bloody Specter City. May I ask the reason for your visit to the city?” After a moment, a tall figure flew over at lightning speed to the courtyard of the main hall in the City Governor’s estate. He was stunned when he had a good look at the two men in his courtyard.
In the beginning, Liu Feng Gu had been worried when he saw the seven-colored light that came from outside the city. He knew the light belonged to a powerhouse that was not any weaker than a Great Overarching Golden Celestial. Since he did know the objectives of the powerhouse’s visit, he had felt anxious. However, when he saw the two men in his courtyard, he was speechless. He knew these two young men. When he finally regained his senses, he looked at the two smiling young men and said dazedly, “Duan Ling Tian, Qin Yu, you…” He could not complete his sentence. He did not think the powerhouse whom he had thought was a Great Overarching Golden Celestial would turn out to be Duan Ling Tian and Qin Yu who had left Bloody Specter City two years ago.
Duan Ling Tian lifted his hand and looked at Liu Feng Gu as he said, “City Governor, I came back to fulfill our deal.” The seven-colored light next to him dissipated, revealing a sword Formation and the bound Liu Feng Gu.
At this moment, Elder Hong, the Leader of the Golden Serpent Guards and the second strongest person in Bloody Specter City, finally arrived.
Liu Feng Gu and Elder Hong’s expressions changed drastically when the figure was revealed. Their eyes widened in shock and disbelief. They were rendered speechless from the shock. It had been too long since they had last seen the old man who was being restrained by the seven-colored sword Formation. Since the old man’s appearance did not change, they instantly recognized him as Zhou Tong, the first Revered Elder of the County Governor’s estate in Nine Specters County. However, even if Zhou Tong had been burned into ashes, Liu Feng Gu was certain he would still be able to recognize Zhou Tong. After all, he had longed to kill Zhou Tong for a long, long time now.
On the other hand, Zhou Tong who had been bound by the seven-colored sword Formation glared at Liu Feng Gu as he roared in anger, “How dare you, Liu Feng Gu! How dare you find someone to seek revenge from me! If I knew this, I wouldn’t have spared your life on account of Lord County Governor back then!” He felt regretful. If he did not let Liu Feng Gu go back then, he would not be in this predicament now. He was unaware that even if he had killed Liu Feng Gu back then, he still would not be able to escape death. After all, since he had provoked Duan Ling Tian, Duan Ling Tian would have killed him anyway.
Zhou Tong’s voice was so loud that it caused Liu Feng Gu’s eardrums to hurt. Liu Feng Gu who was in a daze, wondering if he was dreaming, regained his senses when he heard Zhou Tong’s angry words. He looked at Zhou Tong who was glaring at him and laughed heartily. “I’m not dreaming! It’s not a dream!”
Swoosh!
At this moment, Elder Hong who was standing next to Liu Feng Gu had regained his senses as well. He disappeared in a flash when he saw people approaching them with their weapons in hand to stop them from approaching. After all, it would be better the fewer people knew about this matter regarding Zhou Tong. If words spread, who knew if it would anger the County Governor of Nine Specters City and bring calamity to Liu Feng Gu?
Liu Feng Gu looked at Zhou Tong. He continued laughing for a moment before he finally said, “Zhou Tong, who knew you’d have such a day as well? I bet you didn’t think you’d ever end up in this state…”
Duan Ling Tian and Qin Yu remained silent as they watched the scene unfold.
Duan Ling Tian had filled Qin Yu in about the history between Liu Feng Gu and Zhou Tong during their journey to Bloody Specter City. Many of Qin Yu’s questions were answered when he learned about Liu Feng Gu’s past and the deal between Duan Ling Tian and Liu Feng Gu. He finally knew why Liu Feng Gu had given Duan Ling Tian preferential treatment and allowed Duan Ling Tian to cultivate in Tranquil Alcove in the past when not even the Commanders of Black Dragon Army and Silverwyrm Army were given such a treatment!
When Zhou Tong saw the cold killing intent in Liu Feng Gu’s eyes, his expression changed drastically. He knew he was in a precarious situation at this moment, he was treading the fine line between life and death. He said threateningly, “Liu Feng Gu, if you dare to kill me, Lord County Governor will surely kill you in return!”
Upon hearing Zhou Tong’s words, Liu Feng Gu stopped laughing abruptly. He looked at Zhou Tong indifferently and said, “As long as I get to kill you, it doesn’t matter if I die. I’d die with no regrets as long as I get to kill you.” At this moment, he no longer cared about life and death.
Zhou Tong’s expression changed drastically. He could tell Liu Feng Gu was not lying. When he spoke again, his threatening tone was replaced with a voice that contained a hint of pleading. “C-city Governor Liu, I… I’m sorry for what happened to you and your direct disciple back then. If you’re willing to spare my life, I’m willing to travel around the world to find an outstanding disciple for you as compensation. In fact, I’ll agree to all your requests!” Faced with death, his arrogance had disappeared. He did not hesitate to lower his head and begged Liu Feng Gu, someone he had disdained in the past, for mercy.
“Find an outstanding disciple to compensate me?” Liu Feng Gu laughed again. However, this time his laughter was laden with bitterness. His eyes brimmed with killing intent as he sneered before he said, “Do you think you’ll be able to find someone, no matter how outstanding, to replace my disciple whom I had treated like my son?”
“I…” Zhou Tong began to speak.
Without giving Zhou Tong a chance to finish his sentence, Liu Feng Gu turned to look at Duan Ling Tian and called out, “Duan Ling Tian!”
Duan Ling Tian knew what Liu Feng Gu wanted. His eyes turned cold, and with just a thought, his seven-colored sword Formation that bound Zhou Tong shone even more brightly than before.
Zhou Tong’s expression changed as though he knew death was at his door. He cried out miserably, “No!!!”
Boom!
In just an instant, Zhou Tong’s Celestial Origin Energy surged as he tried to make his final struggle. However, due to his injuries from before, it was futile for him to struggle.
Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!
The seven-colored sword Formation suddenly turned into millions of sword rays before they flew out and pierced Zhou Tong’s body, leaving bloody holes on his body. Although the rays did not hurt Zhou Tong’s vital organs, he was already dying from multiple serious injuries.
Liu Feng Gu scoffed before he attacked the dying Zhou Tong!
Buzz!
The sound of Liu Feng Gu’s saber buzzing rang in the air before it took Zhou Tong’s life away. With this, a Great Overarching Golden Celestial was dead.
