Song of Adolescence-Chapter 84 Birds in the Forest Cry

This chapter is updated by Novelfree.ml

An unnamed gorge.

An absolute death trap.

One person trapped Lei Wujie’s legs, another had an extremely sharp flower blade blocking Lei Wujie’s path in front, and yet another held a great sword cutting off Lei Wujie’s retreat.

Like a prey trapped in a spider’s web, paralysed, with only one outcome: to be eaten by the spider.

“I… have another question.” Lei Wujie didn’t even dare to take a deep breath. His opponents didn’t seem to want to kill him immediately, so he asked hesitantly.

Su Changli lifted his great sword. “What’s the question?”

“Why kill me?” Lei Wujie was trying very carefully to move his head away from that extremely sharp flower stalk, but soon realised that the lady in red returned a smile and moved the flower another fraction closer. Although both of them were dressed in red, the lady had no intention of showing any mercy.

Su Changli laughed. “We are Hidden River. Hidden River are assassins. Assassins kill. We never ask for a reason.” 𝑓𝓇𝑒𝑒𝚠e𝘣𝓷𝘰ѵe𝑙.com

“Su Changli, you talk too much.” Mu Liangyue, who had just been forced to retreat over ten paces, was walking back slowly. She spoke to Su Changli with a cold voice.

“Only the victor gets to speak.” Su Changli’s words held a measure of provocation.

Mu Liangyue snorted coldly. “If it weren’t for my Dream Butterfly Array, how would the three of you have found such a perfect opportunity?”

“Then, thank you very much.” Su Changli said with a smile.

Mu Liangyue ignored Su Changli’s flirtatious expression and stared at the great sword instead. She remarked, “Why haven’t you killed him yet?”

Lei Wujie felt a wave of cold sweat on his back.

Su Changli sighed. “Little brother, I really want to spend more time chatting with you, but this big sister of mine is pressing me to hurry. Take care on your road to the nether world, don’t blame me!” Then, he raised his great sword into the air and came down in a heavy swing.

But, it was blocked by a sword that flew out of nowhere.

It was a sword completely unlike the great sword. This sword appeared thin and weak. It looked as if it was going to splinter into pieces any time.

Because it was a sword made of peach wood!

“Those lousy priests from Qingcheng Mountain?” Su Changli was taken aback. He swung his great sword powerfully, and struck the peach wood sword aside.

Lei Wujie’s back was now free of that great sword and he swiftly retreated. His left hand summoned his sword and the Rainfall sword came down on Su Ziyi’s head. His right hand beckoned and the Murderous Dread sword blocked the Six-bladed Flying Flower Su Hongxi released from her hand. He withdrew several steps and landed himself next to the owner of that peach wood sword.

Qingcheng Mountain, Li Fansong.

“Li-xiong, why are you here?” Lei Wujie asked, happily surprised.

Li Fansong caught the peach wood sword which had been flung aside. “My shifu is the genuine Daoist Sword Immortal. He foretold that when the two of you left the mountain, you would encounter some trouble. Originally, shifu wouldn’t bother with such matters, but this area is still within ten miles of Qingcheng Mountain. We still need to do our part as hosts.”

Lei Wujie nodded. “Then, you have my gratitude, Li-xiong. Who would have thought that after we parted at Snow Moon City, we would have the chance to join forces again.”

Li Fansong looked around. “Where’s Xiao Se?”

“Xiao Se drew away two of the assassins. He thought that I could take care of this bunch first, then go search for him. But, these guys are a lot more difficult to deal with than I thought.” In his heart, Lei Wujie was getting quite anxious. With Xiao Se’s physical condition, he would have reached his limit by now.

“You mean those two assassins?” Li Fansong knitted his brows.

Two shadowy figures flashed past and stood beside Su Changli.

“We failed.” Xie Hui gave a slight bow.

Su Changli shook his head. “We have not succeeded either. Except now, we have someone here who is the disciple of the Daoist Sword Immortal, and one who is the disciple of the Snow Moon Sword Immortal. Are you saying you couldn’t even deal with an opponent who doesn’t even know martial arts?”

Xie Hui shook his head. “Someone else came.”

“Who?”

“She used a silver-coloured spear. From her martial arts, she should be a disciple of Snow Moon City’s Third Citymaster, Sikong Changfeng.” Xie Hui replied.

Su Changli was surprised, but he nodded his head. “It’s getting more and more interesting.”

On the other side, Lei Wujie couldn’t make out what they were saying and hurriedly asked, “Xiao Se couldn’t have been killed by them already, could he?” But, he immediately shook his head vehemently. “Impossible, that’s impossible. Xiao Se is like a fox, how could he be killed? He must have run away.”

“If it weren’t for my arrival, this fox would really have been killed.” An arrogant voice sounded. Lei Wujie spun around and saw Sikong Qianluo holding her silver-coloured spear together with Xiao Se rushing towards them.

“Qianluo-shijie.” Lei Wujie greeted happily.

Sikong Qianluo returned the smile and used her spear to knock Lei Wujie’s head. “I really like the sound of this, Qianluo-shijie. Lei Wujie, your martial arts are actually decent. One against four and you didn’t lose. Not like this fox, one against two yet he was thoroughly beaten.”

Lei Wujie shook his head. “Actually, if not for Li-xiong getting here in time, I think I would be a corpse now. But, since you’re all here, then…” Lei Wujie wielded his Murderous Dread Sword and faced Su Changli with a haughty look.

Su Changli raised his eyebrows. “Then… what?”

In an instant, his killing intent emitted suddenly. All the birds in the forest cried out in alarm.

On one side were the disciples of two Sword Immortals, a disciple of the Spear Immortal, and they were all in the Vajra Mortal Realm. To have reached this level of cultivation given their age was already very impressive.

On the other side, however, were six top-level assassins of the Hidden River. Mu Liangyue, who lost her array to Lei Wujie in their earlier encounter. Xie Hui and Xie Ling, who had hunted down Xiao Se but were forced to retreat by the Silver Moon spear. These three may not seem as daunting now. But, the other three Su family assassins had yet to show their true prowess.

Su Hongxi, who kills with a flower.

Su Ziyi, who was charming to the bone.

And Su Changli, with his great sword, who always appeared indifferent.

What were their true prowess?

Xiao Se was quietly plotting in his head. Putting himself aside, their side had to be able to take on two to one each to have a chance of winning. However, when Su Changli’s fleeting gaze suddenly turned biting cold, Xiao Se understood just how naive his thoughts were.

Su Changli took a step forward holding his sword.

Li Fansong knitted his brows tightly. “Be careful. This person is very strong.”

Lei Wujie and Sikong Qianluo exchanged a glance and nodded. Although they haven’t been in the martial world for long, just facing Su Changli and the ice-cold killing intent he erupted violently, they could feel that their opponent was at a level not lower than their own Vajra Mortal Realm. In fact, he was probably at the highest level of the Vajra Mortal Realm or may even have reached the Unrestrained Earthly Realm.

“Xie Hui, Xie Ling, Mu Liangyue, the three of you step down. Hongxi, Ziyi, it’s time for the Su House to come on stage.” Su Changli threw Mu Liangyue a look. “You should watch. Watch how we kill when we don’t need you to create the perfect opportunity for us.”

Now, it was three against three.

Xiao Se frowned slightly. This was not something to be happy about. Because if Su Changli made this decision, that meant he had the confidence to win.

Su Changli spoke in a low voice, the corner of his mouth curved upwards, “Kill.”
