His face looked as if it had been drained dry by something.
Rough skin clung tightly to the bones, emaciated and terrifying.
Yu Tang noticed that Qin Junyang was standing in front of the row of corpses, his back stiff, and his hand, which had been lazily hanging at his side, was now clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
He understood that Qin Junyang was truly angry.
Yu Tang walked over and saw the corpses, and his anger also surged.
But he restrained himself and said to Qin Junyang, "We need to find the murderer."
Upon hearing his voice, Qin Junyang's crimson eyes faded slightly, but his tone remained filled with anger and coldness.
"The chef's cooking is delicious."
"That waiter is very efficient in serving the food."
"Although the shopkeeper was infuriating at first, he later cried for that brat..."
"And the old woman, she's the one that brat was desperately protecting..."
Yu Tang's feeling was right; Qin Junyang knew everything.
He simply disdains to express himself.
At this moment, the deaths of this family completely ignited Qin Junyang's rage.
"They dare to kill someone right under my nose. I think these bastards are tired of living."
Chapter 14
The villain is resurrected for the ninth time (14)
After he finished speaking, Qin Junyang suddenly sensed something.
He looked up into the distance, his sharp gaze fixed on a man wearing a black cloak.
The two men met eyes, and the man's mind jolted, as if locked in by a powerful aura, a chill running down his spine.
"It's him..."
Qin Junyang's divine sense instantly spread throughout the entire street.
He reached out to Yu Tang: "Give me the Wenxin Qin!"
Yu Tang dared not delay and quickly handed him the zither.
Qin Junyang directly tore open the bundle, and black mist formed a zither stand. His slender fingers covered the zither surface, and when he played the first note, all the onlookers present fell into a deep sleep.
The Wenxinqin was brought to its fullest potential when it was in his hands.
Standing beside him, Yu Tang even felt that the Wenxin Qin (a type of zither) should have been used by Qin Junyang.
The sound of the zither rippled, and white mist rose around them.
The illusion trapped the man in black, and the sound waves transformed into sharp blades, rushing straight towards the dazed man!
But the next moment, a sword shadow suddenly shot into the sky!
At the same time, the "鑶" body mirror on Yu Tang's waist and the "问心琴" (a type of zither) in Qin Junyang's hand both emitted light and hummed.
"A third divine artifact?!" Yu Tang exclaimed as the sword shadow slashed towards the two of them, only to be weakened by the sound waves and blocked by Yu Tang's sword.
Even the weakened sword shadow was still incredibly sharp. Cracks appeared on the longsword in Yu Tang's hand, and his light gray Taoist robe was also torn. The sword energy grazed his cheek, leaving a trail of blood.
"You dare to hurt him?" Qin Junyang's voice was icy, and in the blink of an eye, he stood in front of Yu Tang.
He held the zither upright, supporting the headstock with one hand while his other hand moved swiftly, producing a piercing sound that struck straight to the soul.
He said to Yu Tang, "That person used the divine weapon, the Heaven-Slaying Sword."
"This broken sword of yours is just right."
"Once I kill him, his sword will be yours."
Yu Tang was stunned for a moment.
He then realized that Qin Junyang was going to change his equipment on the spot.
While he was thinking, the man in black had already woken up from the illusion with the help of the Heaven-Slaying Sword. He reacted quickly, gripped the sword with both hands, and slashed down hard at the terrifying sound waves created by Qin Junyang.
The Heaven-Slaying Sword possesses earth-shattering power, capable of even cleaving the sky in two, making it the strongest of the five divine artifacts.
The sword came straight at him, and even Qin Junyang had to be cautious.
Qin Junyang tightened his grip, deliberately cutting his fingertips on the strings. Blood stained the strings, spreading rapidly and turning the bronze strings of the Wenxin Qin into a blood-soaked reddish-gold. Then, he plucked the string hard—
boom--
The blood-red blade, carrying terrifying power, collided with the sword light of the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and the two canceled each other out.
The spreading force was firmly blocked by the barrier erected by Qin Junyang, preventing it from affecting those who were unconscious.
Yu Tang noticed this detail and knew that Qin Junyang's consideration would make the battle later even more difficult for him.
He then moved the people to a distance, and when he returned, his right hand passed through Qin Junyang's waist from behind and intertwined with the man's hand.
"Use my blood too, maybe it will have a miraculous effect."
The gesture was so intimate that Qin Junyang's body stiffened.
He turned his head and saw Yu Tang's profile, noticing the man smiling at him.
"After all, we're partners. There's no reason for you to always do all the work."
A heart softened.
Qin Junyang pursed his lips and then pouted, "Trying to meddle in everything, just bored."
But he still grabbed Yu Tang's hand and pressed it onto the strings.
"You asked for this yourself, so don't cry out in pain later."
Tangtang: Why do I feel like there's something ambiguous about what he said?
Thank you everyone for urging me to update and for the little gifts...
Chapter 15
The villain is resurrected for the ninth time (15)
"Oh my god!" Little Jin's excited laughter echoed in Yu Tang's mind. He covered his eyes and said, "Master, I really didn't want to understand so quickly; what he said was too ambiguous!"
Yu Tang also froze for a moment.
She turned her head to look at Qin Junyang and found that the other party's expression was normal, as if he had never thought that there was a problem with what she said.
As he was lost in thought, Yu Tang felt a sharp pain from the string cutting his finger, and he reflexively pulled his hand away.
Then I noticed that Qin Junyang's handsome eyebrows suddenly furrowed.
While saying he was "delicate..." she softened her grip even more, her careful manner warming Yu Tang's heart.
The strings originally bore Qin Junyang's blood. Now, stained with Yu Tang's blood, the strings' color deepened considerably.
Just as their blood was completely fused, Wenxinqin suddenly began to vibrate violently.
boom--
The golden-red sound waves, without Qin Junyang needing to activate them, spontaneously emanated from the zither and engaged in a fierce battle with the Heaven-Slaying Sword!
“Divine blood…” The man in black was now filled with shock.
He followed the direction in which the ghost had disappeared at dawn and found the innkeeper's family.
To prevent them from spreading rumors, they were silenced.
Seeing Yu Tang and Qin Junyang holding the Wenxin Qin, I thought that even if these two were strong, they couldn't be that strong.
But now, he sensed the same divine aura in the blood of Yu Tang and Qin Junyang, just like that of the King!
If he was previously confident that he could defeat Qin Junyang with the strongest artifact, the Heaven-Slaying Sword, and retrieve the Heart-Questioning Zither as instructed by the king, then he could have been more confident.
So now, he almost instantly lost his confidence to fight back!
escape!
He has to escape!
Making a swift decision, the man in black unleashed a powerful sword strike, then turned and fled!
Qin Junyang realized his intention.
With a burst of energy, Yu Tang helped him hold the head of the instrument, allowing Qin Junyang to place his hands on it.
Golden-red light burst forth one after another. Some of it was used to pursue the man, while the rest merged into the barrier that Qin Junyang had set up beforehand!
Fear and a desire to retreat gripped the man, and his swordplay became chaotic; he could only parry and slash.
They didn't even notice that Qin Junyang and Yu Tang had unknowingly blocked the exit where he had cleaved the barrier.
It was this moment of carelessness that allowed the golden-red sonic blade to pierce his chest and pin him firmly to the bluestone bricks below!
"cough……"
The man coughed up a mouthful of blood, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword fell to the ground, losing its luster.
"Cleansing spell..." Qin Junyang pointed at the Heaven-Slaying Sword and said to Yu Tang, "Throw it to it..."
Yu Tang paused for a moment before casting a Cleanse spell at the Heaven-Slaying Sword.
Qin Junyang then bent down to pick up the Heaven-Slaying Sword and tossed it to him, saying, "It's what I promised you."
"Take it..."
Yu Tang grasped the Heaven-Slaying Sword; the hilt was warm to the touch.
As he held it like that, the bloodstains on his fingertips seeped in unnoticed, and the Heaven-Slaying Sword emitted a faint golden light.
Then the blade curved from tip to tip, gently brushing against Yu Tang's hand, as if it were flirting with him.
A question mark popped into Yu Tang's head.
He remembered that the sword had been in the black-clad man's hand just now, but it hadn't been used in this way. How come it changed when it came to him?
