Urbaner Blumentraum - Kapitel 209
He sat leisurely on the bluestone, patted the sword in his hand, and smiled, "Come, come, use whatever means you have, and see if I, Feng, will grant your wish."
Poisonous Hand Demoness laughed, "Maple Snow Color, I know your swordsmanship is unparalleled. Do you think I would fall for your trick when I have such a clear advantage?"
A smile suddenly appeared on Feng Xue's handsome face: "Then, I must offend you, young lady!"
His figure floated up like a light cloud, lightning flashed in his palm, and when he returned to the blue stone, a string of blood droplets dripped from the tip of his sword.
Poisonous Hand Demoness stared blankly at the new bloody hole in her chest. A stream of dark red blood gushed out. She pressed one hand against the wound, but the blood wouldn't stop no matter what she did. Her face paled, and then she slowly collapsed.
“I’m sorry to kill you!” Feng Xuese’s voice was gentle. “I will kill you not because you poisoned me, but because you killed that child.”

He paused for a moment, then continued, "Those who kill children deserve to die!"
He explained gently, unaware that the woman could no longer hear him.
"Slap, slap, slap!"
Suddenly, several rounds of applause rang out from the valley.
Feng Xuese heard a series of light, delicate footsteps, looked up, and smiled faintly as she turned towards the source of the sound: "Who goes there?"
A soft voice said, "This humble concubine, Mo Xinxue, greets Young Master Feng."
"Oh?" Feng Xue raised an eyebrow and smiled slightly. "I've heard so much about you!"
Mo Xinxue said, "Young Master Feng, you must already know that the one who has been chasing you all this way is this humble concubine!"
Feng Xuese nodded: "I know."
"Then, does Young Master Feng know why this lowly concubine went to great lengths to hire so many people to kill you?"
Feng Xuese looked at her quietly: "I would like to hear the details."
"Young Master Feng, a few months ago, did you kill a man called Thousand-Handed Flower-Picking Thirteen Wolves?"
Maple Snow nodded: "And then?"
“Thirteen Wolves is my husband,” Mo Xinxue said. “Although my husband is very useless, I still cannot let him be killed by others.”
Feng Xuese simply said "Oh," without offering any opinion. He was utterly speechless; how could a woman be willing to avenge Thirteen Wolves, a womanizer whom everyone wanted to kill?
"Then, what did the nuns of Luomei Nunnery do to offend you so much that you are determined to exterminate their entire family?" Although the words of the Poisonous Hand Demoness were not credible, he still wanted to get to the bottom of it. In any case, this matter must be related to these two fellow disciples.
Mo Xinxue didn't deny it, but sighed, "If anyone's to blame for this, it's Young Master Feng. I've been asking around for help to avenge my husband's death, so of course I've been paying close attention to you. You asked around for directions to Luomei Nunnery on your way from Chenzhou, so I naturally received the news. From my perspective, whatever you want, whatever it is, I want to destroy it. So, I sent He Qiu, an assassin from the Blood-Seeing Pavilion, to stop you. Even if he couldn't kill you, he would at least delay you. At the same time, I killed all the nuns at Luomei Nunnery!"
Feng Xuese said calmly, "Madam, you have excellent skills!" He was referring to the clean and efficient way the nuns of Luomei Nunnery were killed.
Mo Xinxue understood and said humbly, "Young Master Feng, you flatter me! My sect only has my sister and me left. My senior sister is extremely talented in using poison, so she learned Master's poison skills. I am foolish and have only learned the superficial aspects of Master's martial arts."
Feng Xuese said "Oh," but in her heart she wondered: Was the incident at Luomei Nunnery really done by this Demon Heart Snow? If so, then this case is not related to the previous bloodshed, and some of her deductions may be wrong; if not, why is she taking all the blame on me?
As she was pondering this, she heard Mo Xinxue ask, "Then, may this lowly concubine come and kill you?"
Feng Xue said, "No need to rush. You can first take care of your senior sister's body. It's too much for me to bear to leave a woman's body exposed in the wilderness."
“No need for such trouble!” Mo Xinxue said. “My senior sister is extremely greedy. It took four-fifths of my family’s ancestral property to persuade her to come out of seclusion. We don’t really have any friendship to speak of.”
Feng Xuese said knowingly, "So, you deliberately waited until she died before coming out?"
“Of course! She’s dead, so I don’t have to pay this money!” Mo Xinxue felt no guilt whatsoever.
"In that case, Madam should thank me for saving you some money." A bitter smile appeared on Feng Xue's snow-white lips. This woman was even more cold-blooded than he had imagined.
Mo Xinxue said, "Young Master Feng, I'm afraid your reinforcements won't be coming. The man with you is none other than Liu Yue, known in the martial world as 'Bright Moon and Flowing Clouds,' right? He and your girl are trapped in Senior Sister's Ten Thousand Poisons Devouring Bone Formation, and they've probably already become food for poisonous creatures!"
Feng Xue Se suddenly smiled: "Although I do not know why Madam deduced that I am waiting for reinforcements, I can assure you that Young Master Liu Yue and my girl will never become food for the poisonous creatures."
"Oh? Young Master Feng is quite confident!"

Feng Xue's smile was extremely sincere: "It's not that I'm confident, but that I trust Young Master Liu Yue! Just look back!"
"Don't try to fool me!"
Mo Xinxue turned around with some doubt, and was surprised to see a noble young man in an apricot-colored robe leading a beautiful young woman in a black robe under a clump of bamboo, smiling slightly at her.
Mo Xinxue's beautiful face turned somewhat pale, and she forced a smile, saying, "So, two famous heroes in the martial arts world are actually going to gang up on a weak woman."
From afar, Liu Yue smiled and said, "Madam, there's no need to worry. Brother Feng's affairs are none of my business. I'm just here to provide support." Her beautiful, peach-blossom-like eyes seemed to be smiling but not smiling, and she stood under the bamboo like a light ink painting.
Mo Xinxue stared at him intently for a long while, then, as if finally believing him, nodded and said, "I hope your words and actions match!" Turning back, she said, "Young Master Feng, please forgive me!"
She gently untied her belt, and with a flick of the wrist, a thin, sharp blade emerged from one end, gleaming coldly in the sunlight.
The deep purple belt swirled with iridescent colors, and Demon Heart Snow, like a graceful dancer, attacked Maple Snow Color.
Feng Xuese sat calmly on the bluestone, leisurely raising his sword to meet the attack.
Mo Xinxue was skilled in martial arts and was also cold-blooded and cunning. She could wield a silk ribbon like a rope, a whip, a knife, or a sword, using various deadly moves such as whipping, twisting, binding, strangling, and stabbing.
The maple-colored sword, amidst the dazzling deep purple illusion, not only failed to display its former glory but also seemed rather hindranced. Eventually, he simply closed his eyes, refusing to look at his opponent.
Zhu Huihui is now very anxious!
Although she was an amateur and already dazzled by the purple shadows flying all over the sky, she could tell that the woman seemed to be very afraid of the sword in Feng Xuese's hand, so she just relied on the length of her weapon and stood several feet away to fight her.
