Chapter 456: Wow, So Itâs Evening!
Zhuo Qingyao landed before the Sky-crossing Bridge and threw Zi Yu on the ground. There were five people present of which four wielded a different weapon each, a sword, a saber, a spear, and a halberd.
The four held large chains in their hands locking the man in their center.
The chained man was brimming with power from his bulky stature, with sculpted muscles, ripped off sleeves and messy hair. His eyes glinted with madness as each of his limbs was pinned down by a chain.
Zhuo Qingyao turned to Zi Yu, âI shouldnât have brought you. This place is too dangerous.â
He smiled, âI find it the best place to be, harmless.â
Zi Yu walked pass the five and on the bridge. After ten li he said to Zhuo Qingyao, âA great place. The fight wonât reach the bridge, probably.â
Zi Yu sat on the railing, âIâm a bit hungry.â He took out a string from his sleeve, tied a hook to it and cast it into the waters below.
Xu Sanâer watched Zhuo Qingyao with mild interest, âYoung miss, itâs going to be dangerous here. Itâs best if you leave.â
Zhuo Qingyao asked puzzled, âIf itâs that dangerous, what are you doing here?â
Xu Sanâer said, âWeâre waiting.â
âIâm also waiting.â
Master isnât here yet.
All was quiet for now.
Li Suyi didnât cast his eyes on Jin Xiangyu. Even Voidâs Crown Prince and Yan Shengxiao avoided her. That was one of the then grand immortal arts, Jade Lakeâs Dance in the Ninth Heaven.
One look was enough to drive one insane.
The dance entranced oneâs soul and threw their mind into confusion.
The wails of the self-mutilating Earth Immortals behind her were proof enough.
The deranged Earth Immortalsâ eyes were filled with conviction, however, as if all theyâve done was proper, as if cutting off their flesh was all for a greater goal.
âYou slaughtered my family and I will pull your bones and suck your marrow dry. This is the only way to cleanse the hatred in my heart!â
One even chopped his finger and started sucking it!
Another kept hacking at his body as he raved, âIâll butcher you! Iâll butcher you!â
The area under Jin Xiangyuâs influence was a cesspool of blood and madness.
They lost control of their bodies and Jin Xiangyuâs outstanding beauty coupled with her dance, sunk the place into a living hell, into the Dance of the Demons!
Jin Xiangyu glanced passed the strings and on Chen Yu. She saw the killing intent on her, âDidnât you want to kill me? Come, Iâm right here, kill me.â
Jin Xiangyu saw the struggle in Chen Yu, the hesitation. Since youâre in such conflict, you already lost. The stronger the killing intent and the stronger they are, the faster they fall!
Chen Yuâs eyes lost focus, turning into a pair of dead red eyes. Jin Xiangyu was over the moon, Not even women can escape my charm.
Jin Xiangyu danced in the peach blossom, with smooth and enticing movements, yet filled with devastating attraction. When the last flicker of awareness left Chen Yuâs eyes, Jin Xiangyu said, âBy thou blade, kill thy self!â
Take your weapon and end your life.
But to her amazement, Chen Lingyu didnât move an inch and instead let out an odd sound, she let out a lovely yawn, as if tired, and looked up happy, âWow, is that the Galaxy? Is this night? This is the first time Lingâer saw the night sky!â
Chen Yu lost control of her body, handing it over to Chen Lingâer, not Jin Xiangyu.
Jin Xiangyu watched her strangely. Her eyes were pure and innocent, spotless of killing intent.
What is this!
I just had her!
But why canât I make her respond to my orders?
Chen Lingâer covered her mouth from exhaustion. This was the first time she woke from her dreams.
Jin Xiangyu danced among the petals, her white legs stepped forward and lotus bloomed.
Yet Chen Lingâer was just like a bobbing chicken for grain, âYawn, so tired!â
She ignored Jin Xiangyuâs entrancing dance and kept muttering nonsense, âOh⊠um⊠sister⊠your dance⊠is quite nice⊠but⊠Lingâer is too⊠tired.â
Her eyelids closed at last and then flashed open, red with killing intent.
Chen Lingâer went to sleep and Chen Yu came back!
Chen Yu opened her eyes only to close them again. But this time was different. It wasnât because Chen Yu was going to sleep, but because she had to defend against Jin Xiangyuâs dance.
Chen Yu listened to her surroundings. The Earth Immortalsâ wails, she ignored. Li Suyiâs blade attacks, she ignored. Voidâs Crown Prince breaking in and out of the void, she ignored. Yan Shengxiaoâs derision, she ignored.
When all background noise faded, the only sounds reaching her were Jin Xiangyuâs feet landing on lotuses, her sleeves brushing the air.
âFound you!â
Chen Yu picked six needles from her waist and threw. They carried strings next to Jin Xiangyu, limiting her dancing.
A sleeve fell off when it touched the string and Jin Xiangyu stopped, âWho are you to affect my Dance in the Ninth Heaven?â
Chen Yu sneered, âThatâs not important, now is it?
âYour death is all that matters!â
The strings around Jin Xiangyu aimed to cut her to pieces.
Jin Xiangyu turned into lotus petals, slipped through the strings and drifted closer to Chen Yu.
Chen Yu peered through, eyes flashing with murder. Lotus Reincarnation? The root may break but the fibers remain?
Useless regardless. I can still see you!
Even a lotus, even the fibers had a weakness.
Chen Yu pierce three petals and they all scattered. Yet the fine fibers between each of them soon gathered them.
Chen Yu aimed for the strings this time and as countless petals fell, a figure appeared. Jin Xiangyu coughed blood.
