Chapter 29 Tragic

8 min read

When Red Granny transformed her appearance, the red silk from her sleeve wrapped around the bone fragments.

Subconsciously, the Nine Palm Enforcer's gaze followed the red silk. This red silk was also a treasure, something that even with his strength and the quality of his straight sword, he wouldn't be able to cut even the slightest trace on.

As the bone fragments, flying leisurely in the air, made contact with the red silk, there was a 'crackle' sound, and this sturdy red silk was punctured, leaving a thumb-sized hole. The bone fragments slowly flew towards the main door of the palace and looked like it was going to fly out.

The Nine Palm Enforcer let out a long howl and leapt into the air, blocking the bone fragments with his sword.

When the red silk broke, Red Granny's expression changed slightly. Seeing the Nine Palm Enforcer intercepting the bone fragments, she giggled coquettishly. Her wide red robe billowed and looked as if a red cloud was carrying her as she chased after the Nine Palm Enforcer.

The blood mist that exploded from the bodies of the three followers transformed into surging power within Red Granny's body. Every pore on her body emitted a faint blood light. Red Granny, enshrouded in a blood-like crystal, smiled softly as she clapped her hands together from several tens of meters away.

A strange cry rang out as two palm-sized blood palm prints flew out like lightning, one after the other, hitting the back of the Nine Palm Enforcer.

When the Nine Palm Enforcer's sword hit the bone fragments, there was a crisp sound. The bone fragments remained unharmed, but the tip of the Nine Palm Enforcer's sword, only three inches long, exploded into countless sparks.

The Nine Palm Enforcer howled in pain and furiously swung his sword backwards.

The sword was damaged, and the light it emitted became flickering and unpredictable. Its length also retracted to three to five meters. The thin blade clashed with the two palm prints, and the blade shattered with a rumble. The blood palm prints heavily slammed into the chest of the Nine Palm Enforcer.

With a muffled groan, the Nine Palm Enforcer was sent flying hundreds of meters away, crashing into a towering crystal cluster.

The crystal cluster was incredibly hard, and the Nine Palm Enforcer was flung back from it, splattering blood all over. He collapsed into a dense cluster of crystals on the ground.

Red Granny smiled triumphantly as the red silk continuously sprayed out from her sleeve, enveloping the bone fragments. She proudly said to the Nine Palm Enforcer, who was spitting blood, "You hick, do you even know about the glorious reputation of our Everlasting Sect beyond the Blazing Abyss?"

Before her words even finished, Stone Lingqing and the group of young men and women standing at the bow of the ship simultaneously exclaimed.

Behind Red Granny, another figure of the Nine Palm Enforcer suddenly appeared out of thin air. His straight sword silently stabbed towards Red Granny's waist, sinister and ruthless, like a venomous snake striking effortlessly into Red Granny's vulnerable spot.

With a cry of pain, the red silk flew out from Red Granny's sleeve, emitting a piercing screech as it hovered and danced. It wrapped around her body exactly, while several red silks flew towards the other Nine Palm Enforcer standing behind her.

The Nine Palm Enforcer sent flying by Red Granny transformed into a cloud of smoke in the distance, and the Nine Palm Enforcer, who stood behind Red Granny, waved his sword and forcefully collided with Red Granny. The light of the sword and the rainbow light clashed, emitting countless sparks.

The Nine Palm Enforcer and Red Granny danced in the air, their figures leaving dozens of afterimages. In the blink of an eye, they exchanged blows countless times. In the end, both groaned repeatedly, then they separated and landed in front of the main hall entrance on a green brick corridor.

The collision between the blade light and the rainbow light struck the flying bone fragments. The bone fragments encountered resistance and slowly retreated several meters back into the main hall. The blade light and the rainbow light disappeared, revealing the forms of the Nine Palm Enforcer and Red Granny.

Red Granny's red robe was torn apart, revealing the close-fitting red blouse underneath. As she absorbed the blood mist produced by the three young men and women's explosion, her restored appearance became tall and shapely.

However, this stunning body was covered with numerous deep knife wounds. White flesh and red meat were exposed like a child's open mouth, and drops of blood hung on the wounds, as if an invisible force was imprisoning them and preventing any blood from leaking out.

The Nine Palm Enforcer's head covering was shattered, revealing a broad-faced appearance with a goatee. With his dignified and imposing appearance, he looked like a hero brimming with heroic spirit. Who could imagine that he was one of the Nine Palm Enforcers of the Mist Blade Assassin Organization?

His cheek was struck by the red silk, resulting in half of his face skin being slapped off. Numerous fine silver needles were embedded in his cheeks, as fine as cow hairs. The fine needles emitted a faint blue light, indicating that they were bathed in poison. The skin on the Nine Palm Enforcer's cheek was rapidly turning blue.

With a 'chirp' sound, the Nine Palm Enforcer didn't hesitate to swing his sword backhandedly, slicing off a large piece of flesh from his own face.

The flesh split, revealing a large piece of white and ghastly facial bone. The Nine Palm Enforcer now looked like a fierce ghost, horrifying enough to make the young disciples of Mist Blade tremble with fear.

Only Stone Lingqing lightly clapped her hands and laughed, "The Nine Palm Enforcer is decisive and truly a hero... Why don't you sit down, Nine Palm Enforcer, and have a nice talk with my Granny? There's no need to ruin the atmosphere with all this fighting, right?"

Stone Lingqing twisted her delicate waist and chuckled, "Please note, Nine Palm Enforcer, that the Everlasting Sect has nothing else but beautiful women, money, and power... If you desire women, you can have any sister on this ship, even Red Granny herself, for your enjoyment."

"If you desire money, the Everlasting Sect has countless undercover disciples, among them are even city lords with substantial wealth. With your position and strength as the Nine Palm Enforcer, how much wealth would you like?"

"If you desire power, hehe, as long as you pledge allegiance to me, with your position and status in Mist Blade, if you can help the Everlasting Sect control the Blazing Abyss, you can become the Sect Master of the Blazing Abyss, and who knows what heights of power you can achieve in the future? The power will be immeasurable."

The Nine Palm Enforcer sneered, took out several pills, and swallowed them quickly.

Red Granny took a deep breath. With each breath, the numerous deep wounds on her body moved slightly, clearly indicating that her wounds were healing rapidly. After devouring the blood mist of the three young men and women, Red Granny's vitality was incredibly strong, and her recovery ability was extremely powerful.

While inhaling, Red Granny smiled and said, "Indeed, Lingqing is sharp and capable. She truly lives up to her training from managing the Sect outside... Compared to these wastes within the Sect, she's a hundred times better... Hehe... Granny wants to adopt you as my daughter."

Stone Lingqing smiled softly and responded in a delicate and charming voice.

Red Granny twisted her waist and threw a seductive glance at the Nine Palm Enforcer. "Nine Palm Enforcer, did you understand what my precious daughter Lingqing just said? Hehe... As long as the Nine Palm Enforcer submits to our Everlasting Sect, Granny still has many other daughters available for you to enjoy."

With a malicious laugh, Red Granny pointed at the wooden ship behind her. "Even these sons of mine, if the Nine Palm Enforcer is pleased, you may also consider pitying them."

Dutifully standing up, Wu Laoda, Luo Lin, and Ding, who were heavily injured, were led over by the six followers brought by the Nine Palm Enforcer.

While the Nine Palm Enforcer and Red Granny fought fiercely, the six Mist Blade experts drew their swords and charged toward the Everlasting Sect's wooden ship.

Their figures flickered as they rushed onto the wooden ship, slashing around like tigers entering a flock of sheep.

The young men and women of the Everlasting Sect on the wooden ship, who were either exceptionally handsome or beautifully elegant, were like delicate flowers in a greenhouse. They seemed to have no experience in battle as they fell one after another with only slight contact.

The attacks of the Mist Blade experts were ruthless. The young men and women fell with crucial strikes to their necks, hearts, and other vital areas. In an instant, all of them were killed, and no one escaped.

Only Stone Lingqing knelt down on the ground and assumed a prostrate position, allowing herself to be dealt with. The six Mist Blade followers did not immediately kill her. Instead, they waited until all the members of the Everlasting Sect on the wooden ship were killed. One of the Mist Blade followers grabbed Stone Lingqing by her long hair and roughly lifted her up.

"Leader!" The follower holding Stone Lingqing shouted loudly.

In mid-air, the Nine Palm Enforcer, who was rotating rapidly like a windmill, let out a sneer. His massive shoulders began to squirm, and four new arms grew behind him. He somehow also pulled out five more straight swords. His six arms swung the six swords and turned into a ball of light, attacking Red Granny with chaos.

Red Granny also laughed weirdly. Suddenly, her close-fitting red blouse turned into ashes. Every pore on her body emitted strands of blood-colored flames. The lower half of her waist and abdomen turned into a blazing fire cloud, supporting her upper body in a rapid shuttle in the air.

Dozens of flame-formed whips flew and waved in the sky, intersecting with the blade light in the Nine Palm Enforcer's hands.

With the two Mist Blade followers knocked unconscious by the broken bricks, the disciples of the Everlasting Sect looked at them in awe. The bricks used in the ruins of this structure were all specially made, three feet square and half a foot thick.

With such large bricks flying towards them, the two Mist Blade followers were startled, and they hurriedly took a step back, waving their long knives to block the random thrusts of the long spear from Wu Tie.

They didn't notice that Wu Tie's spear was just swinging randomly. Behind them, two broken bricks suddenly flew up and, accompanied by an evil wind, smashed into the back of their heads.

These bricks, nearly a meter in diameter, roared as they came. The two Mist Blade followers' bodies twitched and then fell forward, falling with their eyes rolled back. They fainted on the ground.

The bricks landed with a thud and heavily crushed the hands of the two young men, depriving them of their ability to grip their knives.

As the blows hit home, Red Granny and the Nine Palm Enforcer fell to the ground, both of their bodies badly mangled and severely wounded, as if they could die at any moment.
