Chapter 17 - Bloodstained Sword Pavilion
“I’m sorry, Miss Zhou. We have our orders.”
Several people walked towards Zhou Boyan. Although their mouth said sorry, their eyes were full of lust and excitement.
Zhou Boyan bit her lip and did not open her eyes. She did not even beg for mercy.
At this point, she knew better than anyone that unless she was willing to give in, nothing would change.
If she were another woman, her mind would have already collapsed, but Zhou Boyan did not give in and refused to compromise.
With the boundless sea of blood behind her, this hatred could not be resolved.
She was too powerless to take any actions. The only thing she could do was to endure so that the other party couldn’t get the Shadow.
“Wait, wait!”
All of a sudden, a voice suddenly sounded from the crowd.
The moment she heard the sound, Zhou Boyan suddenly opened her eyes with disbelief.
“Oh, Young Master Luo, how unkind you are!” Smiling to Luo Kun, Wu Chi shook his head and said, “How can something this good be enjoyed by others? I can do it for you instead.”
As soon as Wu Chi revealed himself, he was immediately recognized by Luo Kun. Luo Kun was also stunned by his appearance and still did not react.
Didn’t Wu Chi leave? How come he’s here?
However, this brief shock did not affect his judgment.
Luo Kun slightly narrowed his eyes, and spoke, “Oh, are you also interested in Miss Zhou? I heard you had a good relationship with Miss Zhou, that she even took you inside the Sword Pavilion.”
“Of course, I wouldn’t miss that opportunity!” A trace of contempt appeared on Wu Chi’s face.
Wu Chi continued unashamedly, “Of course, compared to Young Master Luo, the little benefits she gave me were uncomparable.”
Staring at Wu Chi in shock, Zhou Boyan was surprised by his words.
“What, you want to plead for her?” Luo Kun did not care what Wu Chi said and he asked lightly.
“Of course not!” Wu Chi shook his head, and said, “After the destruction of the Shadow Sword Villa, the Shadow should be in your hands. Since she wanted to stop you, she deserved to die.”
“Oh?” Luo Kun didn’t expect Wu Chi’s answer, “What do you want to do then?”
Wu Chi’s face showed a look of surprise, and he immediately grinned, “Young Master Luo, you ordered others to strip her, and do anything to her, correct?”
“A girl of this caliber, it would be better for me to enjoy her rather than some random guy, right?”
Luo Kun’s eyes flickered, and countless thoughts flashed through his mind.
In any case, Zhou Boyan had trusted this kid before. If she were to be betrayed by the one she trusted the most, her iron will could crumble, and he might be able to force her to hand over the Shadow.
To humiliate Zhou Boyan or not, Luo Kun didn’t really care. What he cared about was whether he could get the Shadow or not.
“Ok, you can deal with her however you like.”
Luo Kun nodded and indifferently answered.
Although he allowed Wu Chi to do whatever he liked, he didn’t agree to Wu Chi monopolizing Zhou Boyan to himself. He believed that getting betrayed by the one she trusted the most, followed by getting humiliated by his men would eventually break Zhou Boyan’s mind.
“All right, don’t worry. I promise to make her talk.”
Wu Chi talked to Zhou Boyan, his eyes flashing. “What a beautiful girl! I’d even lose ten years of my life to play with this girl.”
“Ha ha, you are right. This is the master of Shadow Sword Villa. I want to know if her way of crying will be different from other women or not.” Many people gathered around to remove Zhou Boyan’s clothes.
Zhou Boyan didn’t care about others. At this moment, she only stared at Wu Chi, her eyes devoid of life.
“Brothers, let me go first.” As more people raised their voices, Wu Chi suddenly shouted and a sword light surfaced.
Killing intent!
Wu Chi released his killing intent, and the surrounded men were instantly killed.
These people who wanted to make a move on Zhou Boyan were instantly killed.
This sudden change shocked everyone. No one thought that Wu Chi would burst out with killing intent and instantly killed everyone around him. In a few breaths, everyone near him had succumbed under his sword.
“Unbridled! What do you want to do?”
Luo Kun also bursted out with killing intent and flew towards Wu Chi.
“Stop! Luo Kun, if you take one more step I will kill her. We would both lose what we want!” Wu Chi pointed his blade towards Zhou Boyan’s neck, and indifferently spoke.
With Zhou Boyan’s life being threatened, Luo Kun had to stop his moves.
He needed Zhou Boyan to open the seal, she had to stay alive.
It was a disgrace to him to be calculated by a small fry.
“You dare threaten me?” Luo Kun became angry.
“Wu Chi, you need to understand your own position! You can’t save her, and you will accomplish nothing. Even the entire Iron Sword Group will be dragged down the mud with you.”
Wu Chi rolled his eyes disdainfully, “Do not threaten me. Your threats don’t matter! What matters is that I can end Zhou Boyan’s life right here, and you will get nothing.”
“Also, I am no longer a person of the Iron Sword Sect, I have no relationship with them!” Wu Chi added.
Luo Kun had to suppress his murderous intent, and asked, “State your conditions. What is it that you wanted?”
If Wu Chi just simply wanted to disrupt his plans, he would have directly killed Zhou Boyan. Since Wu Chi was talking this much, it means that his intentions weren’t to disrupt Luo Kun’s plan, but to ask for something.
Good, there’s still a chance to negotiate.
“Clever!” With a compliment Wu Chi gave a thumbs-up to him, “It’s easy to talk with smart people! Young Master Luo, do not worry. I am not interested in that sword! I know myself very well and know that I am not qualified to touch it.”
Luo Kun became more relaxed, “What do you want?”
“Simple!” Wu Chi nodded, and continued, “I only want Miss Zhou! I don’t care whether the Shadow Sword Villa is destroyed or not, all I care about is Miss Zhou.”
“All right!” Luo Kun immediately agreed, “As long as she opens the seal for us, I can let her go.”
Of course, he said that he would ‘let Wu Chi go’ but he didn’t state what would happen to Wu Chi after he is released.
Wu Chi did not seem to pay attention to these details at all and went on, “Secondly, I want valuable things! I have to earn something back in return for risking my life. Gold taels, elixirs, I want these things! The last time you brought up a valuable elixir for me, I know you have better treasures. Don’t try to fool me.”
“All right!” Luo Kun did not care about these things at all, and he agreed without hesitation.
“Give it to me now!”
Wu Chi reached out his hand and said, “Do not try to fool me, or I will kill her!”
Luo Kun did not hesitate, and he lowered his head to take several elixirs from his Universal Bag. He believed that no matter how much treasures Wu Chi asked for, he could make Wu Chi satisfied.
However, as he was looking into his Universal Bag, Wu Chi suddenly made a move.
From the moment he first spoke, he cautiously unlocked Zhou Boyan’s blocked meridians. Although her cultivation could not be restored, he could at least restore Zhou Boyan’s ability to move.
This was why Zhou Boyan didn’t heavily resist him.
The moment Wu Chi moved, Zhou Boyan similarly dropped all her resistance, and let Wu Chi carry her inside the Sword Pavilion.
“Stop him!”
Almost instantly, Luo Kun realized something was wrong!
He was tricked again!
From the very beginning, Wu Chi had no intention of negotiating with him. He was just stalling for time, and successfully diverted Luo Kun’s attention away.
The result was, of course, a success. The moment Luo Kun failed to react, he had already lost his chance. He couldn’t restrain Wu Chi in time.
Even though they didn’t communicate, Zhou Boyan immediately understood Wu Chi’s intentions.
Their only path of survival was inside the Sword Pavilion!
Under the massive difference in strength, the only way that they would momentarily be out of danger was inside the Sword Pavilion.
The moment he stepped inside the Sword Pavilion, Zhou Boyan immediately cut her fingers, and her blood dripped on the seal, opening the Sword Pavilion entrance!
Wu Chi had entered the Sword Pavilion with her before, so this outcome was calculated by him!
Almost instantly, Zhou Boyan opened the seal and entered!
However, Wu Chi did not follow her. It was very clear that this passage could last for three breaths at most.
Three breaths of time was enough for Luo Kun to break in. He must try his best to stop Luo Kun. Otherwise, if Luo Kun had gotten inside, both of them would be dead.
With a glint in his eyes, Luo Kun glanced at the seal entrance and quickly darted towards the entrance.
Now!
As long as he can get inside the Sword Pavilion, all his efforts will be paid off. Wu Chi and Zhou Boyan would not be able to resist him due to their difference in cultivation.
With the only opportunity left in front of him, Wu Chi did a frontal stab, trying to block Luo Kun from entering!
This sword, which was exerted with all his strength, was a lose-lose condition for Wu Chi, but he had to gamble his life on this sword move.
At this moment, Wu Chi did not even consider whether he would still have time to enter the seal, or whether he could survive from Luo Kun’s hands.
This was the last chance he worked so hard to take!
Even if he had died here, as long as he could guarantee Zhou Boyan’s safety, everything was worth it!
During this moment of life and death, Zhou Boyan’s words resounded in his mind.
“There are always some things that are more important than life.”
