Eternal Saber-Chapter 306 - 30: Celestial Couple

A Fourth Grade Middle Concealment lay prostrate on top of the house, almost merging with the moonlight and the rooftop, breathing subtly and steadily, and through the cracks of the tiles, he glanced at the silhouette leaning against the wall below.

He quickly withdrew his gaze.

He knew that the senses of this intruder below were extremely keen. If he stared at him for too long, the man would surely become aware!

Even though this person was already injured, he still dared not be careless.

In less than a day, the number of hermits who had died at his hands had already exceeded a hundred!

Since the Dongyi Race crossed the East Sea and migrated here, such a heavy casualty had never occurred.

This intruder’s cultivation realm was only Fifth Grade; normally, any random Fourth Grade Middle Concealment would be able to assassinate him.

But his sword skill was too fast!

He had never seen such a terrifying fast saber before.

In the instant this man drew his blade, it was as if everything in Heaven and Earth slowed down.

All the light vanished, and in front of him was just that stunning and dazzling saber light!

As far as he knew, more than thirty Fourth Grade Middle Concealments had already died under this person’s fast saber!

Even though hermits mastered many escape techniques to save themselves, very few could escape alive from his fast saber.

However, after this man got injured, it seemed to affect him significantly; he could no longer unleash that terrifying fast saber.

This was their opportunity.

Besides him, some other hermits had also found this place and silently sneaked over.

He looked down again through the crack in the tiles.

"Hmm?"

This glance startled him.

Where did he go?

He had only just withdrawn his gaze and turned a few thoughts over, and when he looked down again, the person who had been leaning against the wall had vanished!

In the next moment, the dazzling saber light appeared in his eyes once again!

Like lightning cutting through the night.

Pfft!

He felt a chill in his chest, blood gushing out, and soon he lost consciousness.

...

Chen Tang finished off the Fourth Grade Middle Concealment on the rooftop with one stroke, breaking through the roof, stepping onto the tiles, and limping towards the direction of the Shadow Tower.

The time for entering the Divine State had recovered, but the injuries on his body still affected him greatly.

He should return to the Shadow Tower as soon as possible to recuperate.

Any single Middle Concealment here fighting him one-on-one, Chen Tang could confidently slay them.

But if he were in Qianzhu City, with endless assassinations and constantly staying on high alert, the cost was indeed too great.

With his current combat power, exposed to the numerous assassinations from hermits in the city, he wouldn’t be able to hold out for long.

Chen Tang just leapt onto a rooftop when a sound of hidden weapons breaking through the air came from both sides behind him.

On the eaves in front, two shadows flipped up and came to assassinate Chen Tang!

Swish! Swish!

Chen Tang drew his saber again, then without looking, used the power of the Thousand-Pound Fall and sank downwards.

Crash!

Chen Tang broke through the roof and fell into the house below.

Whoosh whoosh whoosh!

There was an ambush inside the house, too!

The strange sounds of hidden weapons, blowguns, and poison needles were constant.

Chen Tang, in mid-air with no place to dodge, could only enter the Divine Illumination State, swinging his long saber to cut out blade lights in front of him, fending off the surrounding hidden weapons, and landed on the ground.

Upon landing, Chen Tang felt a sharp pain in his foot, grunted in pain.

The ground was somehow covered with scatterlings.

Chen Tang, after continuously slaying two people on the rooftop, used the Divine Illumination State to block the surrounding hidden weapons. By the time he landed on the ground, his strength was exhausted.

"Ha!"

Chen Tang’s eyes shone like blazing torches, exhaling loudly. He stood where he was, slashing his long saber around him several times!

Vast Ambition!

This move exploded with a bloody and tragic aura filling the house!

Swish swish!

In the darkness, the sound of the long saber slashing through flesh continued to ring out.

In no time, no one knew how many hermits fell to the ground, cut by his blade.

Ignoring the pain in his foot and even too late to remove the scatterlings, Chen Tang, eyes wide open in anger, followed the saber, broke through the door, and felled a hermit at the entrance, his figure quickly vanishing into the darkness!

...

Shadow Tower.

In a guest room on the second floor.

Lady Yun had just finished applying medicine and bandaging the wounds for the Jade Flute Fairy.

Before leaving, Chen Tang left a hidden coin, asking the Shadow Tower to help treat the Jade Flute Fairy’s external injuries.

Actually, Shadow Tower had specialized people for such tasks.

However, Lady Yun took it upon herself to do it.

"Little Sister Jade Flute has such great skin, fair and delicate, almost like it could be pinched to release water. Those rough men really were heavy-handed."

While applying ointment and bandaging the wounds, Lady Yun’s fingers gently brushed across Jade Flute Fairy’s skin, feeling its smoothness, she couldn’t help but exclaim.

Jade Flute Fairy remained calm, having a heart as steady as water, sharing the same gender.

Lady Yun laughed and said, "Little Sister Jade Flute, you and that Brother Chen Tang must be the divine couple famous in the Divine Land, right? A perfect match in terms of appearance and martial arts, a match made in heaven."

Jade Flute Fairy shook her head and said, "We are just friends, not the kind of relationship you imagine."

"Friends?"

Lady Yun pouted and laughed, "Who would believe that? When that little brother first came to the Shadow Tower, he only had one hidden coin left on him, hesitating to stay at the inn or to buy wine, but he gave it to you without any hesitation."

"Moreover, what ordinary friends would go to such lengths?" 𝑓𝑟ℯ𝘦𝓌𝘦𝘣𝑛𝑜𝓋𝑒𝓁.𝑐ℴ𝓂

"Brother Chen is naturally bold and chivalrous. Seeing me in distress in this foreign land, he naturally wouldn’t stand by and watch."

Jade Flute Fairy hesitated for a moment, then said, "If it were me, I would risk my life to save him as well."

"Ha ha, Little Sister Jade Flute, you’ve admitted it yourself."

Lady Yun clapped her hands and laughed, "Two people, going all out, risking their lives to save each other, in what world would ordinary friends do such a thing?"

Jade Flute Fairy remained silent.

Such matters might only get more complicated the more they were explained, so it was better to remain quiet.

Lady Yun sighed lightly and said, "Tonight, he went to the port to get medicine for you, it’s probably hard for him to come back."

"How so?"

Jade Flute Fairy originally didn’t want to respond to Lady Yun, but upon hearing this, she couldn’t help but ask.

Lady Yun said, "This place is about five miles from the port, not a great distance, but perilous at every step. After all, Chen Tang’s cultivation is only Fifth Grade. He had just been hit during a big battle at the Shadow Tower entrance and luckily returned in time to the Shadow Tower."

"Open attacks are easy to dodge, hidden ones hard to defend against. Long exposure in the city, coming and going with nowhere to hide, he would surely get injured."

"Once injured, his reaction, strength, and speed would all be affected, making his situation increasingly perilous, with more wounds, more severe injuries, leading to a vicious cycle..."

Before Lady Yun finished speaking, Jade Flute Fairy had already stood up and headed downstairs.

Lady Yun smiled and followed behind, saying, "Little Sister Jade Flute, you just had simple treatment for external injuries, but the Five Poison Powder isn’t resolved. Even with just one True Qi protecting your heart meridian, if you went out, you wouldn’t be able to help him."

Jade Flute Fairy kept moving, reaching the main hall, and headed straight for the door.

There were still some hermits in the main hall.

They had no interest in Chen Tang.

After all, the bounty on Chen Tang was too low.

These people were all waiting for Jade Flute Fairy.

Seeing Jade Flute Fairy about to leave the Shadow Tower, they couldn’t help but brightened their eyes and rose one by one.

Bam!

Just at this moment, the door of the Shadow Tower was suddenly flung open from outside.

A tall figure, covered in blood, appeared once again at the entrance of the Shadow Tower.
