Chapter 284: You Compete, I Snatch
Chu Yang did not want to kill Mo Tianyun, but there were throne experts protecting him. This sword strike relied entirely on sharpness, and as long as it was blocked, it would be in vain. With Chu Yang's current strength, he could not overcome the throne expert and then kill Mo Tianyun!
Furthermore, if he missed, he would face the danger of being left behind! There were dozens of throne experts present. And Chu Yang only had this one strike! If he were to be left behind… it would be all over.
Of course, Chu Yang had to choose something he was completely confident about! With Gu Yanyang and Gu Yanyue’s guardian experts dead or gone, there were no better targets to attack than these two!
He did not have the assurance to kill Mo Tianyun, so he decided to give Gu Duxing a grand gift!
Kill Gu Yanyang and Gu Yanyue!
A sword strike like thunder!
A sword strike that succeeded!
Once the strike succeeded, he would retreat!
Even long after he had left, the area remained silent, and the crackling sound of flames around seemed even louder…
Gu Yanyang and Gu Yanyue stared in disbelief, their throats making strange sounds as they looked at what lay before them, then slowly fell back, lying down, their eyes filled with incredulity as they gazed up at the sky.
Frozen in time!
The two of them could not have imagined that they would die here, in this place, during a fight that should have been absolutely safe, killed by a sudden assassin!
Weren't they supposed to be fighting for the Flame Sun Blade? Shouldn’t they have been more cautious of Mo Tianyun and Ao Xieyun? How could this happen? How could it?
Two bodies fell with a thud, eternal darkness covering all their doubts!
The throne expert from the Gu Family stood there in a daze, suddenly feeling an unbearable pain as if trapped in a nightmare! A total of four members from the Gu Family had come: two young masters and two throne experts!
But in the blink of an eye, another throne expert was killed by Xie Danqiong, and the two young masters were nearly shot down in the time it took for a finger to snap after that throne expert's death!
Leaving him all alone!
Mo Tianyun and Ao Xieyun exchanged glances, both seeing genuine shock in each other's eyes!
The horror of this sword strike sent a chill down their spines, and they both thought simultaneously: if there were no guardians beside them, facing this kind of assassination like Gu Yanyang and Gu Yanyue, what would they do?
Thinking of this, a chill ran down their entire spines.
The throne expert from the Gu Family stamped his foot angrily, suddenly bent down, stacking up the three corpses one by one and hoisting them onto his shoulders. He then cast a furious glance at Xie Danqiong with eyes blazing as if ready to spit fire, but without saying a word, he strode out!
Returning!
Carrying the corpses of his brothers, the bodies of the young masters, he was going back! Someone had to report what happened here to the family. Although returning meant facing death, this matter had to be brought back!
In an invisible way, the true culprit became Xie Danqiong: it was Xie Danqiong who killed a throne expert and diverted another throne expert! If this assassination had nothing to do with Xie Danqiong… even Ao Xieyun and Mo Tianyun would not believe it!
—This was clearly premeditated!
I distract, you strike!
Moreover, Xie Danqiong's fiancée had been pursued madly by Gu Yanyang during this time… could prideful Xie Danqiong not be furious?
He had every reason to kill Gu Yanyang!
Although this matter seemed to have no connection on the surface—yet, the less connection it had, the more it was linked!
Watching the throne expert leave, Xie Danqiong’s expression darkened. Only he knew that this time he was shouldering a huge blame. Although he wanted to kill Gu Yanyang, and it was precisely because of this that he was furious and killed a throne expert from the Gu Family… but he truly did not lay a hand on Gu Yanyang!
But he said nothing, immediately turning to Mo Tianyun and solemnly saying, “Mo Tianyun, Brother Mo, I want the Flame Sun Blade!”
