Song of Adolescence

Chapter 448 Line Between Life and Death

Shen Xiduo's head flew up, but the rest of his body took another three steps forward before he slowly collapsed onto the ground. His legs twitched slightly, then he went completely still. He was truly dead.

"I get it. We just have to cut off their heads then these dead people won't move anymore and they'll be truly dead." Lei Wujie wiped the sweat from his forehead. "Shijie, come down and help me. There are so many of them and I'm just one guy…"

Sikong Qianluo shook her head and answered decisively, "I don't want to!"

"Alright then, shijie. You're scared of ghosts so I don't blame you. Then, let me deal with these… evil spirits, monsters and demons!" Lei Wujie gritted his teeth, swung his sword with all his strength, and chopped off another head.

The first time Lei Wujie killed a man, he jumped on his horse and rode for miles, unable to calm the tremor in his heart, until finally, he was pulled back by Xiao Se. If not, he believed he would have kept on riding wildly until his horse was exhausted, until he himself was exhausted! Even now, he was still firm in his beliefs and he was vehemently against the idea of killing with his sword.

In the martial world, wasn't it enough to decide who won and who lost? Why did they have to compete to the point of life and death?

It was a shame that he was no longer in the martial world, and instead, he was now deep in the imperial court. In the imperial court, his choice was always taken out of his hands, again and again.

But today was different. If he didn't act today, he would definitely die and everybody here would definitely die. What's more, these were already dead people!

"I'm not killing you guys. I'm just sending you back to where you're supposed to go, okay?" Lei Wujie made a round with his sword. "What was it that monk used to say? That's right, transcend and find peace!"

One after another, heads kept flying and one after another, the medicine men rushed at Lei Wujie. He was killing so many that his eyes were turning red.

He had already lost count of how many people he'd killed. He had a feeling that the first wave of attackers from the Court of Judicial Review had already been wiped out by him. But, one wave after another came pouring in from who knew where. Lei Wujie's clothes were already stained with layers of blood and gore. His face was also stained with blood and gore. As for Lei Wujie, who had always looked innocent and harmless, he was starting to show a never seen before level of viciousness.

In the end, the exhausted Lei Wujie stood among the corpses in the courtyard. He propped his sword on the ground and panted, "I'm done with this group."

He'd only just said the words when suddenly, a corpse jumped up from the ground and threw itself at Lei Wujie. But, it only just left the ground when a beam of silver light smashed down and shattered its head.

Sikong Qianluo jumped forward and caught her silver spear, sending a glance in Lei Wujie's direction. "Don't worry, little shidi. I won't let you fight on your own. Leave the rest to me."

Lei Wujie let out a long sigh and asked, "Shijie, aren't you scared anymore?"

Sikong Qianluo also let out a sigh. "To be honest, after watching you killing like mad earlier, I'm a little numb now."

The reason why Sikong Qianluo finally decided to take action was because they both heard the sound of footsteps outside the residence again. The medicine men seemed to be under someone's control and were charging in to attack in waves. But suddenly, those footsteps disappeared and instead, they heard the sound of a horse neighing.

Medicine men do not ride horses. Even more so, they did not pull the reins of a horse to stop.

The person coming was an ordinary person. But, the situation outside was practically a hell of carnage. Who would dare to ride a horse around?

Lei Wujie, Sikong Qianluo and Ye Ruoyi retreated to one side and held their breaths.

After the horse neighed, three men stepped off the horse carriage.

The Red Prince Xiao Yu stood in the front, Long Ye attending to him from one side. All dressed in black, Wuxin followed behind them silently. They walked into the Yong'an Prince Residence, looked at the ground full of corpses, and did not show much of a reaction on their faces. Xiao Yu even stood right in front of the three people who were glaring at him warily and laughed. "I heard my Liu-ge was injured while duelling with Luo Qingyang so this Prince specially paid a visit here to see how he's doing."

"He's fine. You may return, my Prince," Ye Ruoyi replied.

Xiao Yu reached out a hand and Long Ye handed him a bow and arrow. Xiao Yu took the bow fitted with an arrow, pulled the bowstring taut and suddenly released his hand.

The arrow pierced through the air aiming straight for Ye Ruoyi.

Ye Ruoyi reached out her hand, and the arrow stopped in front of her hand, spinning rapidly, unable to advance another inch.

Xiao Yu tossed the bow onto the ground. "I don't care who you all are. None of you are qualified to speak to me. I want to see Xiao Se."

"Fine." A faint voice answered him. The door was pushed open, and Xiao Se, wearing a luxurious fur coat, walked out of the room. He tucked his hands inside his sleeves and looked at Xiao Yu lazily. "Are you looking for me? I'm here."

Red Prince Residence.

Xie Xuan glanced at Ye Ya coldly, and then at Yue Ji. "Who would have thought you'd resort to something as mundane as holding hostages."

"That's right. Because there's no way out, so I can only hold onto this last straw." Ye Ya walked over and reached out to stroke Yue Ji's face.

"Remove your hand," Ming Hou warned solemnly.

"Go ahead." Ye Ya patted Yue Ji's face, reached out and grabbed the corset sword at her neck and pushed it down. "Go to your beloved."

Yue Ji's eyes were somewhat confused, and she stood there a little bit at a loss.

"Follow your instinct. Who do you want to stand by the most at this time?" Ye Ya smiled and stepped aside.

Yue Ji turned her head and looked at Ming Hou, her face still blank. Ming Hou looked at Yue Ji, but his eyes were full of hope.

"Mister Xie, please help to keep an eye on Ye Ya. His behaviour is not quite normal," Wuchan said.

"Don't worry, his behaviour is not abnormal. The ghost doctor's behaviour has always been perverse and antisocial. If he chooses to threaten his hostage, that would be truly abnormal," Xie Xuan replied.

Yue Ji walked to Ming Hou's side, and Ming Hou pulled her behind himself.

Ye Ya looked at Xie Xuan and nodded. "Mister understands me well."

"But that won't stop me from killing you. You are the master parasite host. Once you're dead, the chaos in Heavenly Revelations City will come to an end," Xie Xuan said evenly.

"It's my honour to die under the sword of the Confucian Sword Immortal," Ye Ya drew a dagger from his sleeve. "Unfortunately, I don't want to die under anybody's sword." He stabbed the dagger straight into his own heart, then twisted it gently with his right hand. The expression on his face froze on his final moments before his body fell forward and onto the ground. Fresh blood pooled instantly under the corpse.

"Let's go." Xie Xuan stood up and put away his sword.

Ming Hou picked up Yue Ji at her waist and carried her on his back.

However, just as they were walking towards the door, the already dead Ye Ya suddenly stood up and charged towards Xie Xuan. At this moment, the expression in Ye Ya's eyes was already defeated and the hole in his chest was still bleeding. There was no doubt that he was already a dead person!

But he came back to life!

Before his death, the ghost doctor Ye Ya had already refined himself into a medicine man!
