Phoenix Destiny-Chapter 404 - An eye for an eye

“Do you think everyone is like you?

A frog in the well?

And isn’t it so obvious that the last thing my stepmother wanted was for me to leave this place alive?”

大概以为陆明舒进了陷阱,就由他们摆布,方才两人对话,根本没有施展传音入密,是以她听得清清楚楚.

~Careless.~ Yin Hong clenched her fist.

They did not use secret transmit to converse because they thought that Lu Mingshu would not be able to hear them in the trap, but they were wrong.

殷虹一愣:”你怎会知道?”

“How did you find out?” Yin Hong stared at her, unable to believe what she heard.

“那要问付明溪了.”陆明舒好笑地看着她,”要是你们能活着出去,记得告诉我那继母,有一句话叫’不怕神一样的对手,就怕猪一样的队友’,以后记得把女儿管好——哦,我忘了,没有以后了.”

“Fu Mingxi, duh.” Lu Mingshu look at her weirdly.

“If you made it out of here, please remember to tell my step mother that one should not fear a godlike opponent; only fear a piglike teammate.

Oh, and for her to teach her daughter well ya!

Oh wait, I forgot, there’s no need to do so anymore.

盛长老在心里暗骂一声.还以为这回是他们先发制人,原来陆明舒早就知道他们要在神女祭动手.付明溪果然是成事不足,败事有余!

Elder Sheng gritted his teeth.

~That useless child!

Ruining our plans at her best!~

但现在说这个,显然来不及了.敌人就站在他们面前,哪怕有再大的怨气,也得先打赢再说.

But it’s useless to get angry over Fu Mingxi now.

The opponent is already standing right infront of them, there’s no point in saying anything else.

盛长老冷声喝道:”不必多说废话,动手吧!”

“Then let’s cut the chase and get right to the point!” Elder Sheng stared at Lu Mingshu in anger.

“好,干脆!”陆明舒拍掌,”你们不是想知道我得的秘法到底是什么吗?今日便让你们见识见识!”

“Nice, straightforward.

I like it.” Lu Mingshu clapped.

“I heard that you are curious about how I train, right?

I’ll show you now.”

话音落,她纵剑而出.

And with that, she leaped into the air.

双方相距不过十丈,对剑修来说,和面对面没有分别.

They are only ten feet apart, but to a swordsmanship cultivator, there is no difference from being right infront of them.

陆明舒的剑一出,眨眼便至.

Lu Mingshu’s attack end in an blink of eye.

盛长老等人从周竟成口中得知,她的剑极快,但没想到会这样快.只来得及侧身一躲,剑光就从头顶飞了过去.

Elder Sheng has heard about how fast her attack was from Zhou Jingcheng.

But he did not expect it to be this fast.

He only could manage to dodge to the side as the sword light scrap pass her.

看到掉下来的几根头发,盛长老出了一身冷汗,他要是躲得慢一点,这会儿已经人头落地了吧?

Seeing the few strands of hair drop to the ground, Elder Sheng broke out into cold sweat.

~If I was slower, I would already have lost my head!~

殷虹抓住机会,一剑袭去.她的剑路和同脉的解文涵类似,走的是轻巧,精妙的路子,并且更重视隐蔽,本身实力算不得多强,但很适合偷袭.

Yin Hong seize the chance to get up to her.

She have similar fighting style as Jie Wenhan.

Sneaky, silent and sharp.

They focus a lot on being hidden.

Yin Hong may not be a strong martial artist but she is made for assasination.

剑光黯淡,无声无息便至陆明舒身侧,殷虹心中一喜,催动剑气,便刺向她的要害.

Her sword light is dim, so it was able to reach Lu Mingshu without her realising.

Seeing so, Yin Hong jumped up in glee and launched an attack to hurt Lu Mingshu.

哼!之前差点被她吓到,原来这么容易就近身了.

~She scared me initially, but it’s not that hard to get her anyway.~

殷虹脸上露出嘲讽.

Yin Hong could not hide the smile on her face.

然而,没等她笑出声,陆明舒身上突然爆出玄光,也不知道她做了什么,殷虹只觉得一股大力袭来,连连倒退.

But within no time, mystic light surround Lu Mingshu, and Yin Hong felt like she’s being forcefully pushed back.

盛长老避过她那一剑,立刻还手.

Elder Sheng dodge Lu Mingshu’s attack and counter attack immediately.

不得不说,两人配合得不错,一前一后,时间差刚刚好,若是寻常出神境,很难抓到回防的机会.

Out to Lu Mingshu surprise, Elder Sheng and Yin Hong coordinate well.

If she trained normally, she would be doomed by now.

但是,陆明舒偏偏不是寻常出神境.她的剑胚已经成型,以凝神之法刻印的剑诀,瞬间反弹了However, Lu Mingshu did not train normally.

Her sword embryo is already formed, so she could make the sword energy rebound immediately.

盛长老甚至根本不知道她是怎么动的手,就已经被击退了.

Elder Sheng was unaware of how did Lu Mingshu counter attacked and he was already being forced to retreat.

两剑,仅仅两剑,两人便落于下风.

Just two attacks, and he and Yin Hong is already losing.

盛长老面色一变,心知周竟成所知的情报不详,陆明舒的实力,比他们预料的还要强!

Elder Sheng’s face fell immediately.

~Zhou Jingcheng’s information must be wrong!

She’s way better than they thought!~

他并不是铁杆周派,一看情形不对,便萌生退意.

He’s not someone who would die for Zhou.

Realising that something’s amiss, he tried to escape.

可是,来不及了.无论他往哪个方向退,都有剑光阻路.

However, it’s too late.

There’s no way he could escape.

Sword light surround him, blocking all his way.

陆明舒轻声道:”都已经动手了,还想跑吗?”说话间,剑气骤发,挥开一片清辉,向盛长老罩去.

“How can you leave halfway during a fight?” Lu Mingshu shook her head and sighed, exerting large amount of sword energy, fullyin covering elder Sheng.

“轰隆!”强烈的剑气,引发了此处的磁光余波.

“Boom!” the sword energy exploded, and the lights start to change rapidly.

眼前尽是电芒,盛长老心知不妙,当机立断,剑气大爆,便要强行逃遁.

Seeing the sword lights and lighting all around him, Elder Sheng got in a panic and enforced his sword energy, with the hopes of trying to escape.

陆明舒手指轻弹,又是数道剑光,回身一绕.刹那间,电光将盛长老淹没了.

Lu Mingshu snapped her fingers and numerous sword light went for Elder Sheng again.

Within no time, he was drowned by lighting.

“噗——”鲜血喷洒而出,一颗头颅滚落下来.

“Spit—-” Flesh blood squirted everywhere, and a head rolled out of the fight.

“唉!”她轻叹一声.假如盛长老以死相拼,她想收拾掉他们,还会难一些,偏他选择逃跑,在剑修的剑光前,怎么可能逃得过?

“Haish.” Lu Mingshu sighed.

~Silly him.

If he worked with Yin Hong, he might have survived.

But who ask him to be that stupid?

It’s almost impossible to survive when a swordsmanship cultivator is launching an attack right in front of you!~

电光逐渐消逝,殷虹呆住了.

Lu Mingshu saw Yin Hong staring at the scene with jaws wide open.

她刚刚从陆明舒的玄光中脱身,看到的便是身首异处的盛长老.

She saw Lu Mingshu emerging from the mystic light and….Elder Sheng’s head rolling towards her.

两息不到的时间,一个出神境长老,竟然就这样在她面前被斩了.

Not even after an hour, a spirit realm elder was beheaded in front of her.

Right in front.

自从进入出神境,殷虹的心思就放在权势上面,少有历练.多年的安逸,她早就不适应这样的血腥了.看着盛长老怒目圆睁的人头,只觉得浑身血液都凝固了.

Ever since she entered the spirit realm, Yin Hong have been focusing on getting her hands on more power.

It’s been years since she ever fought.

The scene right in front of her made chills ran down her spine, as she stood rooted to the ground, unable to recover from what had just happened.

“你…你…”她嘶声叫道,”你杀了盛长老!”

“You…Murderer!” Yin Hong screeched.

“You murdered Elder Sheng!”

“想杀人,就要有被杀的觉悟.”陆明舒淡淡向她看去,”你也是.”

“So?

You have to be prepared to be killed if you were planning to kill someone in the first place.” Lu Mingshu shrugged.

“Oh, and you too.”

后面三个字,让殷虹浑身冰凉,恐惧已极:”你怎么敢?你居然敢杀本门长老?这是欺师灭祖!”

Yin Hong shuddered hearing Lu Mingshu.

She freeze right on her sport and screamed right into Lu Mingshu’s face.

“How dare you!

It’s an offence to murder your elders!

You are deceiving and destroying your sect!”

陆明舒想笑:”不是你们想杀我的吗?怎么,我不乖乖被你们杀,就是欺师灭祖?”

“But you wanted to kill me too!” Lu Mingshu look at Yin Hong, raising her eyebrows.

“Is it right for me to die under your hands?”

“这不一样!这怎么能一样?”可到底哪里不一样,殷虹却说不上来.

“These are two different things!

It isn’t the same!” Yin hong screamed her lungs out.

However, she is unable to name the difference.

陆明舒就叹了口气:”九瑶宫,可真是烂到了骨子里.”

“This sect is doomed with people like you guys around.” Lu Mingshu shook her head and sigh.

只许自己杀人灭口,不许他人反抗,这般排除异己,只当门派是自己的私物——有这些人在,九瑶宫怎么可能不烂.

They are allowed to murder, while others are not allowed to rebel.

Bigotry, thinking that they are superior in the sect.

~Nowonder the sect is in this state.~

“谢谢你们把事情做得这么绝,我才有动手的理由.”她轻轻道,”盛长老已经去了,该你了.”

“But thank you so much for being so cruel.

Now, I’ll have a valid reason to get rid of all of you.” Lu Mingshu smiled thinly.

“It’s your turn now.”

看到她眼中一闪而过的杀意,殷虹直觉想跑.

Yin Hong turn to escape seeing Lu Mingshu’s smile.

可盛长老跑不掉,她也一样.

But sadly, Elder Sheng couldn’t and would not be able too.

剑光如芒,并没有直接杀过去,而是将殷虹一兜,掀起的剑气,将她甩在了之前的陷阱里.剑气掀起余波,到处都是闪电.殷虹惊叫,左闪右避,可是,陆明舒已经将她前后的退路封得死死的,终于一道磁光落下,她已是避无可避.

Rays of sword light surround Yin Hong, lifting her up and throwing her right back into the trap.

The vigorous sword light caused the magneto-optic lights to change at an extreme speed.

Lighting start striking down from the sky, and Yin Hong’s screams could be heard all across the place.

She scrambled to exit but unfortunately she was too late.

Lu Mingshu blocked her way out in no time, and after a few minutes, she had no way to dodge a lighting striking down.

“噗——”鲜血喷洒,殷虹瞪着眼睛,缓缓倒了下去.

“Whoosh—-” Blood was everywhere, and she died, with her eyes wide open.

磁光逐渐平息,山坡与夹道各自丢着一具尸首.

Everything returned back to place, like when Lu Mingshu just stepped in.

Just that the valley now had an extra corpse.

陆明舒默默看了一会儿,召回月神剑,决然前进.

Lu Mingshu stared at the corpsed for a moment before keeping her sword and moving forward.

既然不给她生路,那就杀出去,用鲜血铺出一条路!

~Since you force me into this, then I’ll make a way out with your dead body!~

这时,神女遗迹的中段,坐在石台上闭目养神的万禹太上长老突然道:”给你们最后一个机会,如果现在停止,本座看在周太师祖的份上,保你们性命.”

At the center of the goddess’s remnant, Grand Elder Wan Yu was resting on the stone steps.

“I’ll give you one last chance.

Stop now and I’ll protect all of you in the name of great grandfather Zhou.”

他的身侧,站的是掌门付尚清.他面色不变,含笑道:”太上长老应当知道,晚辈无权做主,这个’你们’,怕是不包括我.”

Fu Shangqing, who is currently standing right next to him shook his head and smiled thinly.

“Grand elder, I’m afraid I do not have the rights to make any decision, as I am not included in the “all of you”.”

万禹太上长老定定看着他,却见他始终平静自若,只得叹一声:”周家看走了眼啊!”

Grand Elder Wan Yu turned around to stare at him, but Fu Shangqing remain silent.

“The Zhous are blind, huh.”

付尚清淡笑不语.

Fu Shangqing smiled and said nothing

万禹太上长老摇了摇头,重新闭目养神.

Grand Elder Wan Yu sighed and went back to rest.

行事之初,他就告诫过周妙如,踏出这一步,就没有回头路了.门派内斗,要是伤及性命,就会彻底打破底线,从此血流成河.可周妙如还是这么选择,成功还罢,若是失败,那周家气数就真的尽了.

He have warned Zhou Miaoru of the price they may have to pay if it was unsuccessful.

But since Zhou Miaoru have decided to turn a deaf ear to his words, then there’s nothing more he could do, but to only potentially watch the Zhous turn into a river of blood
