All Heavens: Starting with Little Li Flying Dagger

Chapter 65 One sword kills the Jade Flute Taoist

Two days later.

In the morning, Gu Yu and A Fei arrived at the Liang Prince's Mansion once again.

The guards outside the door recognized them and assumed they were guests invited by the authorities. They were about to go in to report.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu shouted, "No need to report, we're here to cause trouble."

"Looking for trouble?"

The guard thought he had misheard.

Who would dare to come to the Prince's mansion looking for Ren?

Do I have to say it out loud?

Could it be that the old man hanged himself—was tired of living?

The next moment, Gu Yu proved his words with his actions.

"Bang!"

With a leap, he threw a punch, shattering the plaque above the door that read "Imperial Decree to Build the Liang Prince's Mansion" into pieces.

The guards were terrified.

This guy is actually serious.

"You all hold them off for now, I'll go report to the Prince!"

One of the underlings finally came to his senses and ran towards the backyard.

But how could these guards possibly hold out?

Against top masters like Gu Yu and A Fei, they were as fragile as paper, utterly vulnerable.

As they fought their way to the outside of Chengyun Hall, a melodious and graceful flute melody reached their ears.

The murderous aura seemed to vanish instantly in the sound of the flute.

This is not just a piece of music, but also a profound artistic conception—after a fresh rain in the empty mountains, the weather turns autumnal in the evening. The bright moon shines between the pines, and the clear spring flows over the rocks.

Gu Yu and A Fei stopped in their tracks, seemingly immersed in the beautiful music.

A Taoist priest, playing a jade flute, slowly walked out of the hall, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.

It was none other than the Jade Flute Master of the East Sea.

Then, a dozen or so more people came out of the hall.

These people were the experts that the King of Liang had secretly recruited over the years. In addition to experts from the Central Plains, there were also swordsmen from Korea, swordsmen from Japan, and strange people from the Western Regions.

The last to emerge from the palace were King Liang and Tuotuo, who was by his side.

Looking at Afei, who was immersed in the sound of the flute, Tuotuo's eyes were filled with sadness.

After all, Ah Fei was the first man in her life.

Before leaving, she tried to persuade Ah Fei, but unexpectedly, he still chose to stand on the opposite side.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh—"

Suddenly, a murderous glint appeared in the eyes of the Jade Flute Taoist. A cold star flashed from the jade flute, and several small hidden weapons, as swift as lightning, attacked Gu Yu and A Fei respectively.

This is one of the Jade Flute Taoist's deadly moves—the Deathly Nail!

Those who don't know him are completely unaware that his jade flute contains hidden secrets, and they can easily fall into his trap.

"Be careful!"

Tuotuo couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

In fact, even if she reminded them, it wouldn't have mattered. After all, how fast could a hidden weapon travel?

Everyone present believed that Gu Yu and A Fei had no chance of dodging the hidden weapon.

"Clang, clang—"

A few crisp sounds suddenly rang out in the arena.

Then, Gu Yu's mocking laughter rang out: "Donghai Jade Flute, is this all you can do—steal chickens and dogs?"

The Jade Flute Taoist's expression changed instantly.

The Prince of Liang frowned, then stepped forward, revealing a fake smile: "You two young heroes are indeed quite skilled. However, I wonder why you insist on forcibly entering my royal residence?"

Gu Yu said coldly, "Of course I'm here to kill you, you old dog!"

Upon hearing Gu Yu call him an "old dog," the King of Liang turned ashen with rage and roared, "You don't know what's good for you! I wanted to recruit you, but you insisted on opposing me. You're just asking for death!"

Ah Fei chuckled: "Hard to say, perhaps you're courting death?"

"Hahaha!"

King Liang couldn't help but burst into a long laugh.

Then his face turned cold: "Do you really think you're invincible? Don't forget this is the Prince's mansion. There are at least a hundred crossbows aimed at you right now. If I give the order, you two will be turned into hedgehogs in the blink of an eye."

"Yeah?"

Gu Yu turned his head and looked around.

King Liang then said, "However, considering your youth and ignorance, I will give you one last chance. Kneel down and submit to me, and I will forgive and forget what happened."

Gu Yu said with a mocking expression, "Really? Why don't you let your crossbowmen give it a try?"

"you……"

King Liang was so angry that his veins throbbed, and he raised his hand, ready to give the order.

Tuotuo hurriedly said, "Godfather, let me try to persuade him again."

"snort!"

The King of Liang snorted coldly.

Tuotuo stepped forward, staring intently at Afei, and said in a trembling voice, "Afei, please, for my sake, don't go against the Prince, okay?"

Ah Fei sighed and said, "Don't you know he wants to kill me and Brother Gu?"

"If you don't make a move, the prince will naturally not kill you."

Afei shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, I don't want to serve anyone, not even the emperor."

Upon hearing this, the King of Liang knew that saying anything more would be superfluous, and said murderously, "Fine, you've brought this upon yourselves."

After saying that, he pressed his hand down heavily—

"Release the arrows!"

The scene was completely silent.

The imagined rain of arrows did not arrive; not a single arrow came.

The King of Liang was startled.

What's going on?

"whee--"

A burst of laughter suddenly came from the top of the main hall.

King Liang was both shocked and furious. "Blue Scorpion, it's you? How dare you betray me?"

Blue Scorpion spat: "Pah! What do you mean by betraying you? I'm not your subordinate."

"Don't forget our agreement. Don't you want revenge?"

Blue Scorpion said lazily, "I don't need you anymore. I've found a lover, and he'll help me get revenge."

"Hmph! You vixen!"

At that moment, a cold snort came, and Lady Nanhai appeared on the roof.

Needless to say, those crossbowmen had already been killed by the two of them.

Blue Scorpion, not to be outdone, retorted to the South Sea Lady, "So what if I'm sexy? I'm sexy in the open, unlike you who's secretly sexy."

"you……"

Seeing that the two women were about to start arguing, Gu Yu quickly said, "You two can argue later. Let's finish this fight first."

The King of Liang was furious.

"Lady of the South Sea, you've betrayed me too?"

The South China Sea Lady's reply was even more audacious: "Old man, I was merely using you. Do you really think you're the leader of the martial arts world?"

"Alright, enough talk, let's kill them!"

Gu Yu shouted and charged at the Jade Flute Taoist with his sword.

His sword strike wasn't fast.

However, the Jade Flute Daoist had no idea how to dodge the sword. Helpless, he could only raise his jade flute, which instantly transformed into a slender sword in an attempt to deflect the attack.

Unexpectedly, Gu Yu's sword suddenly dipped.

The Jade Flute Taoist hurriedly swung his sword down, but it was too late.

The tip of the sword had already pierced his chest.

"How could this happen..."

The Jade Flute Taoist's face turned ashen; he could not believe until his death that someone in the world could take his life with a single sword strike.

In fact, this is a typical example of power suppression.

Although Gu Yu's sword strike was not fast, it suppressed Yu Xiao Dao Ren's strength by channeling sword energy, causing his true energy to stagnate and his movements and reactions to be a beat slower, as if he were stuck in a quagmire.

When the King of Liang saw that Gu Yu had killed the Jade Flute Taoist with a single sword strike, he turned pale with fright and fled.

Jade Flute Daoist is a master ranked tenth on the Weapon Ranking, yet he couldn't even withstand a single sword strike from Gu Yu. Just how terrifying is that kid's strength?

If I had known this would happen, why would I have provoked this evil star in the first place?

Unfortunately, it's too late to regret it now.

They hadn't gone far when Tuotuo caught up with them.

The King of Liang said urgently, "Tuotuo, quickly, leave the palace through the secret passage."

He was genuinely scared and wanted to get through this ordeal first.

Unexpectedly, Ah Fei caught up with them at that moment.

"Godfather, you go first!"

Tuotuo gritted her teeth, turned around, and prepared to stop Afei.

But she never dreamed that the King of Liang would slap her hard from behind, causing her to vomit blood and fly away on the spot.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the King of Liang fled at full speed.

He believed that Ah Fei would not abandon Tuotuo, and that if he could stall for a while, he would have a chance to escape...

"Tuotuo, Tuotuo..."

Sure enough, Ah Fei's urgent call came from behind.
