Chapter 505: Chapter 506: Continue Fighting, or Take Your Wife and Child!!

A feint, and Long Halberd was like a streak of black lightning, piercing through Huangfu Nan’s dense palm winds, directly embedding itself into his wheelchair.

With a “crack,” the wheelchair split apart upon impact!

Having succeeded with the move, he thrust Long Halberd straight at Huangfu Nan!

With his current strength, defeating Huangfu Nan was simply impossible.

That last move was merely to force Huangfu Nan to reveal his true colors.

Though pretending to be disabled in a wheelchair, he knew that the Huangfu Nan before him was the genuine article, not the one he had seen in the Bamboo Garden.

All he wanted to know was, where would Huangfu Nan rest his bottom once the wheelchair was destroyed?!

“Swish, swish, swish!”

Amid a burst of sharp winds, Long Halberd whirled and aimed directly for Huangfu Nan’s lower body.

Unexpectedly, Huangfu Nan remained seated, unwavering, yet his body suddenly rose more than three feet off the ground.

Zhao Xiyan was just about to attack again when he saw Huangfu Nan holding a familiar envelope, smiling wickedly at him!

“My good disciple! If you’re bent on wiping out your master like this, aren’t you afraid something might happen to your dear wife and the child within her belly?”

This statement was like a thunderbolt, striking directly above Zhao Xiyan’s head!

His blood seemed to flow backward in an instant; from head to toe, he felt as if he had been plunged into the chill of millennia-old ice!

The hand gripping Long Halberd creaked and his entire body trembled!

If he wasn’t mistaken, that should be Qi Yue’s!

On the envelope was a hand-drawn heart.

Whenever she wrote letters, Qi Yue always liked to include a heart after her signature. Over time, it had become their secret code.

Moreover, Qi Yue had her own couriers; wherever she went, the couriers would follow her, so others wouldn’t know.

Furthermore, he had made major adjustments to the Black Feather Guard over the past two years, and he believed that none loyal to Huangfu Nan remained!

But why did Huangfu Nan have a letter from Qi Yue?!

And what did his words mean?

Could it be that Qi Yue had fallen into his hands?

Zhao Xiyan couldn’t bear to think further!

No matter what, he couldn’t believe that Qi Yue had fallen into Huangfu Nan’s hands!

Yunzhu had clearly said when she came that Youyun Mountain was well-defended and that Qi Yue would be safe there!

And even if Huangfu Nan went to Youyun Mountain, capturing Qi Yue wouldn’t be easy!

At worst, Qi Yue could simply stay in her space!

But now…

After all, Huangfu Nan was such a defy-the-heavens existence!

“My good disciple, have you thought it through? Do you want to continue fighting, or do you want your wife and child?!”

Huangfu Nan laughed eerily, as if he already held all the winning cards.

Seeing that things were not right, Yunzhu quickly advised, “Marquis, don’t believe his words, the lady will never fall into his hands…”

“Is that so?” Huangfu Nan gazed intently at Zhao Xiyan, a sly smile curling his lips.

“My good disciple, do tell us, do you believe it or not?!”

Zhao Xiyan felt a tug at his heart again.

The one thing he couldn’t do–was to stake Qi Yue as a wager!

Even if there was a slight possibility, he could not afford not to believe!

Shifting Long Halberd from offense to defense, Zhao Xiyan fought hard to control the panic within his heart, not allowing himself to be thrown into disarray.

“What do you want?”

“Hahaha…” Huangfu Nan laughed heartily, his silvery hair turned into a white streak by the sea breeze, supremely arrogant.

“My good disciple, you finally know how to speak properly with your master, hahaha… If I had known this woman meant so much to you, I wouldn’t have wasted so much effort… hahaha…”

Zhao Xiyan endured, listening to him finish, his hands gripped so tightly they crackled.

Suddenly, Huangfu Nan’s sharp gaze pierced through the air, his words ice-cold.

“Zhao Xiyan, when I took you on as a disciple and taught you martial arts, it was all for today. Who knew you would get mixed up with this useless fool, ruining my plans… Considering your willingness to mend your ways, your master can give you a chance…”

He pointed at Yunzhu, his wrinkled face twisting into a cunning grin.

“…go kill him!”

Zhao Xiyan narrowed his eyes.

“Where is Qi Yue? I’ve told you, no one is allowed to touch her!”

Yunzhu managed a faint smile.

“That girl is quite interesting. Your master is far from finished with her…. hahaha, behave and follow your master’s orders, and you will see her…”

Zhao Xiyan’s clear, defined phoenix eyes gradually condensed into two deep pools, his delicate cheeks uncontrollably twitching slightly.

“Give the letter back to me!”

“It seems you still don’t trust your master enough!” Huangfu Nan stroked his beard, confidently smiling.

“My good disciple, take it…”

He let go, and the letter drifted away with the wind.

Just as it was about to fall into the sea, Zhao Xiyan flung his Long Halberd, spun around, and snatched the letter into his hand.

Yet Huangfu Nan was still laughing there.

“Worthy of being the disciple I chose, at such a young age you have already mastered the ‘Flying Dragon in the Sky’ to this extent… Hahaha…”

Zhao Xiyan couldn’t be bothered to listen to him, swiftly trying to open the letter, only to find it completely empty inside.

“Where’s the letter?”

His handsome face almost contorted, the Long Halberd pointing at Huangfu Nan, he could barely control his rage.

Huangfu Nan’s laughter grew even more unrestrained.

“First, you kill Shen Gong, then you open the sea mechanism for your master, causing these raging waves, and afterward, the letter will naturally be yours. If you refuse… hahaha… what happens then, I can no longer guarantee… hahaha…”

Thunder rumbled, pouring rain from the heavens, with layers of snow-white lightning sweeping across the edge of the sky.

The final frenzy of the stormy season had arrived!!

Zhao Xiyan meticulously pocketed the empty envelope, and the next second, a Long Halberd pierced through Shen Gong’s chest.

But Shen Gong was after all Shen Gong, the world’s number one Deathblade was not for nothing.

With just one move, he blocked Zhao Xiyan’s fierce attack.

After that, the two of them tangled in a fight amidst the rain.

Yunzhu was so anxious, she kept chanting Buddhist mantras, repeatedly urging,

“Marquis, please calm down, the lady will be fine… Please calm down…”

But how could Zhao Xiyan calm down?

Even if he were thrown into an eternal ice cave and frozen stiff, the rage in his heart would still make him jump up in an instant.

“Marquis, have you forgotten your plan? You can’t kill Shen Gong!”

“Marquis, can’t you see? The old man wants to make you the enemy of the whole world, willingly manipulated by him… Wake up!!”

“….”

The howling wind shredded his shouts into tatters, scattering them like pieces of torn rags.

Huangfu Nan, however, continued to laugh hysterically, shouting “good, good, good”!

In the meantime, dozens of Black Feather Guards arrived beside Huangfu Nan, not only procuring him a new wheelchair but also a substantial umbrella, providing him solid shelter within.

Yunzhu was frantic, rushing forward desperately, only to be surrounded by a dozen Black Feather Guards!

Zhao Xiyan was completely deaf to all of this.

By now, his eyes were bloodshot with fury.

In the torrential downpour, his white silhouette was nearly just an afterimage; his ink-black hair also flew like a black line in the strong wind…

With a scream, Shen Gong fell from the sky, crashing onto a nearby boulder.

Blood sprayed everywhere, but it was quickly washed away by the heavy rain, leaving only the battered body of Shen Gong.

“Good, good, good, my disciple did well. Now go and open the sea mechanism, let the waves bring forth a new world, a new order… Hahaha…”

In Huangfu Nan’s maniacal laughter, Zhao Xiyan, holding his Long Halberd, took steps towards the stone pillar…

“Yes, good disciple. Just open the sea mechanism, and your master will immediately let you see her. Hurry, open the mechanism, open the mechanism… Join your master in creating a new world….”

Seeing the situation was dire, Yunzhu shouted to stop him.

“Marquis, stop, you can’t do this!!”

“Stop it!! Marquis! Think of the common folk, think of all the people in the world…”

“Marquis, have you been bewitched? Please stop!”

“…Marquis…”

Of course, Zhao Xiyan wasn’t bewitched.

He heard Yunzhu’s words loud and clear, and he was fully aware.

You could even say he was bewitched!

Ever since seeing that envelope, he was completely dumbstruck.

Because the handwriting on that envelope was one he would recognize even if it turned to ash.

His mind was filled with only one thought: follow Huangfu Nan’s orders so he could see Qi Yue as soon as possible.

Of course, Yunzhu was right.

But that wasn’t what he was supposed to consider.

Zhao Xiyan could certainly fight for the world, for the people, but only if Qi Yue was safe.

Now? What do a tsunami and the common folk have to do with him!

The lives of countless others didn’t weigh more than a single hair on Qi Yue’s head.

He resolvedly, without deviation, stepped up to the stone pillar, raising his Long Halberd high…

“Marquis, no–”

Yunzhu bellowed, but could only watch helplessly as the Long Halberd, wrapped with the force of ten thousand jun, came crashing down…
