Chapter 408: A Simple Logic
The Blood Saber Elder had met Song Qingshu many times, and was naturally aware of the changes in his martial arts during this period. Especially after witnessing his fight with Ouyang Feng on the Mystic Dragon Island, he knew even more clearly that he was no match for him.
Although the Blood Saber Elder was brave and fierce, he was not a fool. He only fought with opponents he knew he could defeat, so he decided to compromise with Song Qingshu. After all, in his opinion, there was no blood feud between the two, and now that Song Qingshu was no longer an official in the Qing court, there was no conflict of position between the two either.
Song Qingshu showed a faint smile, "We can make a deal, but there is no need for us to be friends. We are destined to be enemies."
A stern look flashed on the Blood Saber Elder’s face, and before he could speak, Shui Sheng interrupted him,
"Brother Song, you don’t have to save me. But please help me kill him…"
But her voice suddenly stopped, it turned out that the Blood Saber Elder tapped her mute acupoint.
"In that case, after this we will meet each other as enemies." The Blood Saber Elder pulled Shui Sheng up, clasped her neck with one hand, and slowly backed away while holding the Blood Saber in his other hand.
"Elder, what about me?" This time it was Hua Tiegan's turn to be dumbfounded. If Shui Sheng was allowed to live, then his despicable actions from today would be exposed, and he would have no place in the world in the future.
The Blood Saber Elder was originally ordered to disrupt the situation by Alibuge, due to the fact that he was about to change his area of conquest with the Prince of Ruyang. If there was chaos within the Qing Dynasty, and the Prince of Ruyang managed to take advantage as soon as he took over, would he have any face to stand in front of the Great Khan?
After hearing that Princess Shaomin of the Ruyang Palace had secretly sneaked into the Qing Dynasty to win over various forces, Alibuge naturally couldn't let her get what she wanted, so he sent the Blood Saber Elder to destroy Zhao Min's plans.
When the Blood Saber Elder was exploring the hills of the Golden Serpent Camp, he happened to see Shui Sheng sitting alone in the house. He became lu*stful and couldn't stop himself from taking her away.
That caused a big disaster. Shui Sheng came with her father Shui Dai to visit her uncle Shui Jian. It just so happened that the Black and White Swords were also visiting Shui Jian to help support another Golden Serpent King candidate the "Golden Sun Hero" Xiao Banhe, whose martial arts skills were not inferior to those of the Blood Saber Elder.
The movement coming from Shui Sheng's side quickly alerted the group of experts, who started chasing after them. Fortunately, the Blood Saber Elder had many years of experience and was extremely cunning. He secretly left misleading traces along the way and led the group of masters behind him to several side roads.
After discussion, Shui Jian and his party decided to divide their forces into three groups. The Black and White Swords would search the south together, Shui Jian and Xiao Banhe would search the west, and Luohua Liushui would search the north. If they encountered their target, any one of the group would be more than enough to deal with the lone Blood Saber Elder.
However, how could they have expected that the Blood Saber Elder was cunning and ferocious. Even in a battle of one against four, he could actually kill three of the "Luohua Liushui" and make one of them surrender.
The Blood Saber Elder knew that he had exhausted almost all his energy, and he would be lucky to escape from Song Qingshu with his life. How could he still have the heart to carry out the tasks assigned by Alibuge?
The Blood Saber Elder rolled his eyes and decided to use Hua Tiegan to appease Alibuge.
"Master Hua, you can't stay in the Central Plains anymore. If you come back to Mongolia with me, you will definitely be greatly appreciated by the prince. When Mongolia takes over the Central Plains, wouldn't it be great for you to return home in fine clothes?"
Although the Blood Saber Elder said so, but he muttered in his heart, ‘When the time comes, I will tell the prince that "Luohua Liushui" was an important chess piece that Zhao Min was using in the Central Plains. I had just narrowly escaped death and killed three of them, and captured the remaining one for the prince to interrogate…’
However, the Blood Saber Elder of course wouldn’t really let Hua Tiegan speak. If he did, wouldn't his affair be exposed? So he made up his mind to quietly silence Hua Tiegan after returning to Mongolia, and announce to the outside world that Hua Tiegan had committed suicide. Of course, before that, he still had to calm down Hua Tiegan's emotions. He had good martial arts, so Hua Tiegan could at least help him slow down Song Qingshu if it was necessary.
"Thank you, Elder, for your support. I will definitely not forget your kindness in the future." Hua Tiegan said with a flattering smile.
Song Qingshu frowned when he heard this, thinking that Hua Tiegan was also a figure who had been famous in the martial arts for decades, how could he be so shameless?
Seeing that Song Qingshu had no intention of intercepting him, the Blood Saber Elder was secretly happy. He and Song Qingshu had completely become enemies after today. Moreover, if he really returned the girl surnamed Shui according to the agreement, she would definitely fall into Song Qingshu’s lap in the future. That would leave a bad taste in Blood Saber Elder’s mouth.
‘It would be better to wait until it's safe to find a secluded place, then enjoy this girl with thin skin and tender flesh, and release the recent tension built up in my body. Song Qingshu would never chase me to the Mongolian grassland for an unrelated woman.’
When the Blood Saber Elder was thinking about the future, he suddenly heard a clear female voice, "Big brother wants to let you go, but I didn't let you go. You killed my sheep and roasted it, please pay me as compensation immediately!"
A sharp light flashed in the eyes of the Blood Saber Elder.
‘Thank the heavens that Song Qingshu is by your side. Otherwise, when I meet a delicate country girl like you, I usually break their body and mind!’
Not wanting to cause unnecessary trouble, he took out a piece of silver from his arms and said, "Little girl, this piece of silver can buy ten sheep, just think of it as compensation from me."
Unexpectedly, the girl in green dress shook her head, "I don't want silver."
The Blood Saber Elder was startled, "Then what do you want?"
The girl in green dress replied, "A life for a life."
The Blood Saber Elder angrily laughed, "I killed just one of your sheep, and you actually want me to pay for it with my life?"
"Isn't it fair to pay a life for a life?" The girl in green dress tilted her head and stared at him, obviously not knowing where his anger came from. Then the girl suddenly revealed an expression of sudden realization, and she said, "Don't worry, I won't grill you after you die. Considering how you look, your meat will definitely not taste good."
Even Song Qingshu was confused as he listened from the side, ‘This girl's logic…is quite simple.’
The Blood Saber Elder was so angry that he used his True Qi to wrap the silver in his hand and threw it at the girl in green dress. It was obvious that he had murderous intentions in his heart.
‘This is my chance!’
Song Qingshu had been waiting for a chance to attack. When he saw that the Blood Saber Elder was distracted, he used a wisp of his Qi to knock down the silver ingot shooting towards the girl in green dress. Then he appeared in front of the Blood Saber Elder and Shui Sheng.
The Blood Saber Elder was horrified and was about to squeeze Shui Sheng's neck with his hands, but he felt a sudden numbness in his elbow. It was obvious that Song Qingshu had hit one of the acupoints on his arm, and he was no longer able to restrain Shui Sheng.
The Blood Saber Elder also made a decisive decision and retreated violently. He wanted to distance himself from Shui Sheng while Song Qingshu was rescuing her and escape using that chance.
Song Qingshu coldly snorted, and shot the Wooden Sword forward, hitting the fatal point on the Blood Saber Elder’s back, and just like that, one of the great martial artists of a generation lost his life.
