Eternal Saber-Chapter 335 - 56: Come and Meet Your Doom!

North of Qianzhu City.

In the Bamboo Forest Villa, the houses stretch continuously, and the courtyard is tastefully laid out with small bridges, flowing water, a tea pavilion, lanterns, and some mountain and water landscapes made up of white gauze, moss, rockery, and trees, creating a serene harmony.

Though these structures seem exquisite, they actually harbor hidden dangers!

You couldn’t see a single figure in the villa.

In reality, every unassuming arrangement here might conceal a guard fully armored in armor beneath the shadows!

These guards hide in the darkness, motionless, like sculptures.

Only one house is brightly lit, with waves of boisterous laughter coming out intermittently, reflecting the shadows and indicating that the master is indulging in a night of revelry and joy.

Wind Mastiff had come back from Shadow Tower and called two accompanying beauties to his side, hugging them left and right, drinking and having fun until now.

"Young Master, is that Jade Flute Fairy really so beautiful that you can’t forget her?"

"Indeed, with my sister and me accompanying you, Young Master still thinks of someone else."

The two beauties snuggled against Wind Mastiff’s chest from left and right, with a hint of sourness in their voices.

Wind Mastiff felt the softness under his palm, pinched hard, and only felt satisfied when he heard a cry of pain from one of the beauties. With a sneer, he said, "You two are rare beauties, but compared to Jade Flute Fairy, you fall far short."

"Young Master is biased!"

"Hmph, it’s because you can’t have her that you keep thinking about her."

The two beauties pouted playfully.

"Who says I can’t have her?"

Wind Mastiff laughed loudly and said, "Tomorrow night at this time, that Jade Flute Fairy will be mine!"

"Young Master, I heard that the Jade Flute Fairy is very proud and won’t easily submit."

Wind Mastiff took out a small pink bottle from his bosom, shook it gently, and grinned wickedly, "Just one drop of the Hehuan Dew, and no matter how proud a fairy, she won’t be able to withstand it and will obediently submit at my feet. Remember, you two swore to resist to the death, but in the end..."

"Young Master!"

The two beauties seemed to remember something, their cheeks flushed as they moaned softly.

"Who goes there!"

At this moment, a questioning voice came from outside the door.

Wind Mastiff’s expression changed drastically.

It was Xu Ye’s voice!

Clang clang clang!

Immediately after, the sound of weapons clashing erupted outside the door.

Crash!

Meanwhile, the window shattered.

"Mad dog, meet your doom!"

Accompanied by a loud shout, a tall figure barged in with a long blade, eyes brimming with ferocity and murderous intent.

Wind Mastiff looked intently and recognized that it was the outsider from Shadow Tower, Chen Tang!

"It’s you? How dare you!"

Wind Mastiff’s face changed greatly, incredulous.

He never expected that this person, who was supposed to die tomorrow, would dare come to his turf tonight and even make a move on him!

Where was Gu Chun in Shadow Tower, and how did he not detect this person’s departure?

What about Zhao Jiu?

He had clearly arranged for Zhao Jiu to lie in ambush near Shadow Tower to monitor movements.

Yet Zhao Jiu hadn’t given any warning, letting this person reach his side undetected!

If it weren’t for Xu Ye discovering his trace, this person might have closed in on him before he could react.

In fact, both Chen Tang and Ye Yushi had already sneaked into the villa earlier.

The two noticed the numerous hidden sentries lurking in the shadows within the villa, roughly counting about a hundred of them.

They were extremely cautious, staying out of the line of sight of these sentries, focusing on investigating the whereabouts of the two Upper Concealments in the villa.

After patrolling for a long time, they found only one Upper Concealment.

They couldn’t find the location of the second Upper Concealment.

Just then, their presence was noticed by Kamigakure Yano, who called out a warning.

Since they had already been exposed, there was no need to hide any longer.

Xu Ye stepped forward, only to be blocked by Ye Yushi.

The two engaged in a fierce battle.

Both were Third Grade Martial Artists, their meridians connected, able to release their Inner Qi.

But as soon as they clashed, Chen Tang noticed that Xu Ye’s strength was evidently above Ye Yushi’s.

His Inner Qi was more robust and abundant, having cleared at least six meridians, maybe even seven!

The disturbance here would certainly alert the guards in the villa.

Ye Yushi was already at a disadvantage in his one-on-one fight with Xu Ye.

If the guards were to assist, Ye Yushi wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.

Wind Mastiff had to be dealt with quickly!

So Chen Tang burst through the window, shouting loudly as he charged towards Wind Mastiff with his long blade!

Wind Mastiff, indulging in alcohol and pleasure at his villa, had no weapons at his side.

Yet, being an Elder Disciple, a Fourth Grade Martial Artist, he reacted swiftly, grabbing the waist sashes of the two beauties beside him and hurling them ferociously towards Chen Tang!

At the same time, Wind Mastiff rolled backward, reaching for the long blade on the rack behind him.

The two beauties’ bodies spun uncontrollably in midair, crying out in shock as they flew towards Chen Tang.

As they were in midair, their hands frantically reached over their hair, inadvertently pulling out the silver hairpins!

Their eyes flashed with a trace of murderous intent, and they struck simultaneously.

One aimed for Chen Tang’s throat, the other for his temple!

The two held dual identities: as Wind Mastiff’s beauties, and as well-trained Hermits!

As long as Chen Tang hesitated slightly or showed any pity, they were confident they could assassinate him on the spot!

Thud!

The sound of a blade cutting through flesh resounded, and a spray of blood erupted, instantly dyeing the vision of the two beauties red.

They found they couldn’t lift their arms, their bodies weak,

Looking down, they realized they had been cut in half, their innards spilling to the ground, half their bodies clattering heavily down, beyond saving.

This assassination technique might have worked on Chen Tang when he first arrived on Hermit Continent.

But after twenty days of trials, such assassination attempts were child’s play for Chen Tang.

The moment the two beauties touched the silver hairpin, Chen Tang swung his blade twice, cutting them into two.

Then he sheathed his blade, drew his bow, and nocked an arrow.

The arrow was on the string, the bow drawn like a full moon!

Swoosh!

An arrow whizzed through the air.

Wind Mastiff had just grasped the long blade on the rack, kneeling on the ground, when he heard the ominous wind behind him, unable to react in time.

Too fast!

The distance was too close. There was no time to dodge.

Without thinking, Wind Mastiff whirled around and swung his blade toward the sound behind him!

Clang!

The clash of knife and arrow produced a sharp ringing.

This strike didn’t manage to cut the advancing feathered arrow.

Sparks flew from the friction between the blade and the arrow!

Wind Mastiff’s arm trembled.

The strength of this arrow was immense!

Pain seared through his palm, nearly causing his long blade to fly from his grip!

Though this slash managed to slightly deflect the arrow’s trajectory.

Initially aimed at Wind Mastiff’s back, the arrow shifted slightly as he turned, piercing into his shoulder.

Thunk!

The arrowhead, stained with blood, protruded from his body.

Most of the arrow remained lodged in the bone, the force pinning Wind Mastiff’s body directly to the wooden floorboards beneath him!

"Ah!"

Wind Mastiff cried out in pain, attempting to rise, but agony tore through his shoulder.

Resolutely, he gritted his teeth, using his upper body strength to heave himself upright!

The sound of the arrow grinding against bone and flesh rang in his ears.

Wind Mastiff nearly passed out from the pain, drenched in sweat.

Before he could gather his thoughts, Chen Tang was already upon him, stomping on his chest, forcing him back down!

Crack crack crack!

Wind Mastiff felt as if his chest would explode, his bones emitting an eerie cracking sound, unable to rise!

"Agh!"

Wind Mastiff let out a scream of agony, a look of torment on his face.

Chen Tang once again drew his bow, instantly pulling it to full draw, aiming the arrow at Wind Mastiff’s head from above, his gaze icy, "I heard you wanted to test a bow?"

"I..."

Wind Mastiff just opened his mouth.

Chen Tang released the bowstring.

The arrow instantly pierced through Wind Mastiff’s mouth, through the back of his head, pinning him down with a single shot!
