Song of Adolescence

Chapter 358 The Violent Blade Appears Again

White Prince Xiao Chong sat on the long couch and said to Hua Jin, "Genius doctor, the treatment is about to start but I still don’t know what I need to do."

Next to him, Xiao Jingxia spoke up, "Huang-xiong doesn't need to ask so much. Just follow the genius doctor’s instructions."

Hua Jin picked up a silver needle and heated it up in the candle flame. "Your Highness doesn’t need to do anything." She withdrew the silver needle and Mu Chunfeng held up a medicine bottle and dripped the medicine onto the needle. "This is called Divine Immortal Drunk. Once I insert ten of these needles into Your Highness, Your Highness will lose consciousness. When Your Highness wakes up, there will once again be light."

"Genius doctor, I still don't understand. How exactly will you achieve this?" Xiao Chong asked further.

Hua Jin considered her answer for a while then she frowned slightly. "It’s a secret method not told to outsiders. I can’t tell you." After saying that, she pierced a silver needle into Xiao Chong's chest. She flagged her hand and Mu Chunfeng handed her another silver needle. Within moments, ten needles were inserted into Xiao Chong. Just as Hua Jin explained, Xiao Chong lost consciousness immediately and fainted. Hua Jin turned around and looked at Ling Shaohan. "You’re next. You will also receive ten needles of Divine Immortal Drunk, but unlike him, when you wake up, you will no longer see the world again. Do you want to take another look?"

Ling Shaohan smiled and said, "I’m fine. I, Shaohan, am not such a sentimental person. Such actions are unnecessary. Please begin, Doctor Hua."

Mu Chunfeng couldn't help but praise, "Although Mister Ling is literati, he has the air of a military man."

Ling Shaohan shook his head. "The literati also have an air of loftiness, military men also have times they’re afraid of death. Who said that the literati must be inferior to military men?"

Hua Jin nodded, already holding a row of silver needles in her hand. "Then, we will proceed as you wish."

Outside the White Prince Residence.

Lanyue Marquis sat with his eyes closed, tapping the hilt of his sabre rhythmically, as if waiting for a signal.

After waiting for two hours, the house steward finally couldn't resist asking, "Marquis, who are we waiting for?"

"Waiting for the devil to come claim a life, or the soul of the deceased to wander free," Lanyue Marquis quipped flippantly.

The house steward shuddered. "Please don’t lie to me, Marquis. We’re here in the middle of the night, where are the dead souls, and who’s coming to claim who’s life?"

Lanyue Marquis asked vaguely, "In Heavenly Revelations today, whose life is the most important?"

"Well, doesn’t matter when it is, that should be His Majesty, the Emperor," the house steward replied.

"Then, who is holding the life of His Majesty, the Emperor in their hands?" Lanyue Marquis asked again.

"Little genius doctor Hua Jin?" The steward was taken aback. "Little genius doctor Hua Jin is in the White Prince Residence? Then, Captain Li and the few Gonggong should be guarding her. Marquis, you’re as important as gold and also currently the regent of state. Why do you have to take on something so dangerous yourself?"

"I brought her into Heavenly Revelations, so naturally I should bring her out of Heavenly Revelations safe and well," Lanyue Marquis said slowly. "I don't care about the lives of the others here, but if anyone wishes to take her life, they’ll have to ask my sabre first. "

The house steward sighed, turned his head, and suddenly saw something flash out of the corner of his eyes. Not far away, a person had already arrived.

The man carried a heavy sabre on his shoulder and smiled openly at the house steward. "Hello."

The steward inhaled a cold breath. "He’s really like a ghost." He stepped off the carriage, and the other man sprung into action. He flashed right in front of the steward and swung his heavy sabre down. The steward raised a hand to block and was forced to retreat six steps.

He shook his hand, and the silver gloves on his hands gleamed coldly under the moonlight. He spoke to Lanyue Marquis inside the carriage, "Marquis, this ghost is not easy to deal with. This one sabre can suppress ninety-nine percent of the martial experts in Heavenly Revelations."

"I wonder which martial expert of the Hidden River is here?" Lanyue Marquis asked.

"Hidden River Head of Xie House, Xie Jiucheng." Xie Jiucheng wielded his sabre and stepped back three paces. "I’m a killer, I don’t follow the law, and the rules of the land mean nothing to me. I’m here to kill people so I won’t bother greeting the Marquis."

Lanyue Marquis nodded. "You fight with a sabre and so do I. Today, we don’t have to bother with each other’s identities. Let the sabre in our hands do the talking."

The curtain of the carriage suddenly flew up.

Lanyue Marqui’s long sabre unsheathed instantly and pierced through the curtain. Under the moonlight, the entire blade shone with a cold and seductive light, somewhat like Lanyue Marqui’s character.

But Lanyue Marquis flipped his sabre over, and the sabre’s power suddenly switched.

Not elegant, nor seductive, but ruthless, fierce, and extremely violent!

The long sabre cut down!

A flock of crows took off!

Xie Jiucheng met that force head on with his own heavy sabre, but was forced to retreat thirteen steps by Lanyue Marquis’s power. He gouged his sabre into the ground and barely managed to stop his retreat. Xie Jiucheng muttered to himself, "Violent Blade?"

Lanyue Marquis returned a slight bow at his waist while he tightened his grip on his long sabre. "Good eyes."

Beili favored the sword, and Nanjue preferred the sabre. This was something that most people assumed to be the norm. However, Beili had also produced several consummate sabre masters, for instance, He Lianzhao, who was known as the Violent Blade. He had retired for many years, but who would have thought this Violent Blade would reappear now, and what’s more, in the hands of the noble Lanyue Marquis of Beili.

"It’s a rare honor to encounter a good sabre in Beili." Xie Jiucheng smiled. "Please."

Lanyue Marquis tipped his toes and flashed before Xie Jiucheng. He swung his long sabre and slashed it down fiercely. "Go please yourself! I want you to get lost!"

Xie Jiucheng swung his sabre to block, and Lanyue Marquis slashed again!

Xie Jiucheng retreated, Lanyue Marquis chased relentlessly, and slashed again!

The house steward touched the silver gloves on his hands, his voice quivering with emotion. "The Marquis is showing his true self again. This is too shocking."

The Golden Lanyue Marquis was famous in Heavenly Revelations for his elegance, but only a few people knew that when this Marquis took off his golden robes and changed into black, his ferocity was truly like that of a devil.

While Xie Jiucheng matched sabres with Lanyue Marquis, two other figures had swept past them.

The steward asked Lanyue Marquis, "Marquis?"

Lanyue Marquis shook his head. "Whatever comes next will be handled by the next group of people. There will be more than one ghost coming tonight, but there are also quite a few ghost hunters!"

A woman dressed in purple held a purple umbrella and slowly floated down into the courtyard of the White Prince Residence. She twisted the paper umbrella gently, and a glittery powder that was on the umbrella scattered onto the ground. Where they fell, all the nearby plants withered instantly.

The other was a man holding an umbrella. He walked in slowly from the main gate, giving off a feeling of quietness. His footsteps were slow and unhurried, and his expression equally indifferent. The residence guards who tried to approach him were deterred by his murderous aura, losing even the courage to step forward.

Jin Yu Gonggong fingered his jade thumb ring and said slowly, "Umbrella Ghost, Su Muyu and Spider Mistress, Mu Yumo. Have the two Hidden River Heads of Houses come to kill?"

Su Muyu nodded. "Yes."

"You’re here to kill someone under the watch of the Five Grand Eunuchs?" Jin Wei Gonggong scoffed coldly. "The Hidden River is made up of cowards who hide in the shadows. How worthy are you?"

"Whether or not we’re worthy, let’s try and find out." Mu Yumo returned a graceful smile.
