Supreme Emperor of Swords Chapter 277 - Karma

Chapter 277 Karma

As Feng Xueyi heard the cat’s words, his excited face instantly froze and he became haunted. It turned out that demon cat belonged to the bronze grimace mask man. Being so, his plan would be a vain hope.
Li Ying and the others, however, breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, there were footsteps in the distance. They belonged to some villagers dressed in messy cotton jackets, with worn swords and sticks, and even weapons such as sickles. They looked awestruck and curious. Their footsteps were heavy. Obviously, they had no magical skills. They were just ordinary people.
“They’re from the Valley Village.” Li Yunyang whispered in the ear of his old man.
Li Ying nodded and did not speak.
“My name is Gao Feng, the village chief of Valley Village. I was invited to come here.” Gao Feng greeted the warriors by cupping his right hand in his left hand before his chest. His villagers were behind him.
Those words were like a silent slap that slammed on the faces of everyone present.
Before the start of the so-called blood sacrifice ceremony, no one had ever paid attention to these ordinary villagers. They were treated as trash, and no one cared about the weak ants who were destined to die on the ice and snow altar. But now, even fools realized that the bronze grimace mask man was with these villagers. Now they had become the most powerful group in that area.
The ceremony Blood Dragon Village had deliberately planned had fulfilled Valley Village’s dream just then.
After that fight, within the 500-mile radius of Snow Dragon Mountain, no one would dare to provoke the Valley Village.
“Well, well, village chief Gao, you’re too polite!”
“I’ve long heard of your great name before. It’s my honor to see you today!”
“Village chief Gao is so brilliant. We must closely contact each other in the future!”
“Blood Dragon Village is tyrannical group, and we hope to punish it, helping Valley Village out at such a crucial moment. That’s why we came to Rising Dragon Peak today. Unexpectedly, village chief Gao had already laid a thorough plan. With the help of this mask friend, we are sure to destroy the Blood Dragon Village.”
The leaders of those forces blew hot and cold. At that moment, they showed great goodwill. Gao Feng, who was only a small character before, now seemed to have become the most popular person.
Gao Feng was a little nervous, but he was extremely excited in his heart. Not long ago, he was just a nobody who could not even feed himself in Peaceful City. Nowadays, so many big characters were willing to flatter him.
On the other side—
Seeing that there was no chance to fight back, Feng Xueyi turned around and wanted to sneak away.
“Do you want to leave now? It’s too late!” A figure with high temperature whooshed in front of Feng Xueyi. It was the bronze grimace mask man. His voice was cold and indifferent. “The person who has been sentenced by the scorching hot saber must die. Be ready to accept the judgment of flame!”
“How… how can you let me go?” Feng Xueyi pleaded.
At that time, he had no fighting desire at all. Even the Crazy Demon Ox General had been killed by one saber attack. How was he a match for that person?
“Kill!”
The response to his pleading was a ruthless shout.
The scorching hot saber quickly chopped down.
Feng Xueyi was forced to fight back.
Phew!
When the two figures collided, the saber radiance and the sword shadow exploded with a silvery light.
“Er… in this world… is there really… karma…” Feng Xueyi covered his neck where there was fire coming out continuously. Somehow, he suddenly remembered a few days ago, in the Conference Hall of the Blood Dragon Village, the curse of the girl who had been killed by him.
‘The flames from hell will burn you to ashes!’
‘Has the curse become real?’
At the last moment of his life, that wicked man finally had a hint of remorse in his heart.
The burning pain of the flame came from his soul, and Feng Xueyi desperately shouted. The strange flame burned from the inside out, as if it would ruin everything. Even Qi had been ignited and exploded in the channels of his body. He would rather choose to be killed by dismembering his body than to suffer such pain for a second!
The shrill screaming rang through the Rising Dragon Peak.
Everyone who had witnessed that shivered all over, even though the temperature wasn’t cold!
The flame burned a little longer than when Su Long and Han Yu died. “One Stroke for a Soul” had been burning for 15 minutes before turning into a blue smoke and disappearing into the whistling wind and snow.
“The sentence has been fulfilled!”
The cold voice came from the mouth behind the bronze mask.
Everyone shivered when they heard the voice.
That was the third time they heard it. Each time, it represented an expert becoming a pile of ash.
He was a real Yama who decided people’s lives. “Setting out with One Saber” meant that he would send all criminals to the Yellow Spring Road.
“You shall solve the rest of the issues.” The bronze grimace mask man put away his flame long knife and nodded to Gao Feng, then turned into blue smoke, quickly floating down Rising Dragon Peak.
“Wait a minute, please wait!” Li Yunqi shouted, and also used his Lightness Skills, chasing him down.
The rest of the people looked at each other and finally looked at Li Ying, the head of the Qing River Town, and Gao Feng, the head of Valley Village. They were obviously in charge of the remaining problems. The former was the master of a big force, while the latter had the support of the bronze grimace mask man. No one dared to say no!
Rising Dragon Peak was a mess.
Now that the three Village chiefs had already died, the Blood Dragon Village was just a lamb to be slaughtered. As long as the Blood Dragon Village was conquered, the treasures accumulated by those bandits for many years would become everyone’s possessions.
After a simple consultation, headed by Li Ying and Gao Feng, the crowd slammed into the headquarters of the Blood Dragon Village not far from there.
…
“Wait, please wait!” Li Yunqi shouted, chasing after the bronze mask man.
Finally, the shadowy figure ahead stopped.
“What’s the matter?” The masked man turned and looked at Li Yunqi. His eyes were burning with fire.
“Are… you Senior Brother Ding?” Li Yunqi was full of curiosity.
“Do you think whether I am or not?” The man’s tone was very calm.
“I…” Li Yunqi hesitated.
At first, he believed that the bronze mask man must have been Ding Hao; but as the situation developed, he began to doubt it. Everyone knew that Ding Hao was known for his rusted sword and ice Qi, and his swordsmanship was superb. His ice Qi was even more secretive. But the bronze face mask man was good with the saber, and his Qi had a terrible fire attribute. Judging from these, he could not be Ding Hao.
It was impossible for one person to master two opposite Qi energies at the same time.
“I am just a friend of Ding Hao’s. He asked me to handle this matter.” The bronze mask man said quietly and looked at the boy in front of him. “Ding Hao has already left for Peaceful City. In a few days, he will go back to the Swordsmanship-seeking Sect. He asked me to thank you.”
