A tall woman suddenly rushed out from the shadows, her beautiful face now flashing with hatred.
"Yelu Nanxian?" Xia Qingqing cried out in surprise. Although the two of them didn't know each other, they had met at the Golden Snake Gathering before, so they recognized each other.
Yelu Nanxian ignored her, the sword in her hand glinted with a cold light, stabbing straight at the two women. It turned out that after receiving news of her brother's death, she came to the prison to investigate. From the description of what happened, she knew that the biggest suspects were Xia Qingqing and Icy Snow who escaped from the prison. She felt uncomfortable seeing her brother's miserable state, so she came out for a breath of fresh air, but who knew she would run into these two women.
Icy Snow's expression changed. She pushed away Xia Qingqing, who was still in a daze. The belt in her sleeve shot out to meet Yelu Nanxian.
Yelu Nanxian snorted coldly, changing her swordsmanship, easily parrying the ribbon coming at her, instantly arriving three feet in front of Icy Snow. Yelu Nanxian's martial arts was already one of the best among the younger generation, and with this sudden attack, Icy Snow was forced to face the enemy in a hurry, falling into a disadvantageous position in an instant.
Fortunately, Xia Qingqing had already reacted. With a wave of her hand, a Golden Snake Awl shot towards Yelu Nanxian. Her Golden Snake Sword had also been confiscated in the prison, but there were still a few Golden Snake Awls left on her.
Yelu Nanxian's eyes narrowed. In truth, in terms of martial arts, both Icy Snow and Xia Qingqing were on par with her. Facing this Golden Serpent Awl, Yelu Nanxian didn't dare to be careless. She quickly twisted her waist in midair, dodging the Golden Serpent Awl's strange attack.
Icy Snow took the opportunity to increase the distance between them again, admiring the flexibility of her waist while using the White Python Whip Skill with her ribbon, preventing Yelu Nanxian from getting any closer.
At this time, Xia Qingqing spoke, "Miss Nanxian, why did you suddenly attack us? Is there some misunderstanding?" Although the two of them weren't close friends, due to the Golden Snake Gathering, they could be considered friends. Xia Qingqing didn't understand why they would attack each other as soon as they met.
Yelu Nanxian harrumphed coldly, "You know what you've done." Finishing her words, Yelu Nanxian stepped out with a mysterious movement technique, approaching the two women.
Noticing the hatred in her eyes, Xia Qingqing's expression changed. She didn't dare to be careless anymore. She quickly picked up the Golden Snake Awl and fired it from time to time to force the other party to retreat. However, she was secretly worried. Her and Icy Snow's weapons had been confiscated previously. Now that they had lost their weapons, Icy Snow could still use the ribbon to replace the silver bell and golden lock to perform the White Python Whip Technique. On the other hand, she couldn't perform most of her martial arts without the Golden Snake Sword.
While she was distracted, Yelu Nanxian suddenly took out a crossbow from her waist and shot an arrow at Icy Snow. At the same time, she leaped up and stabbed her sword at Xia Qingqing.
Icy Snow's expression changed. She had been focusing all her attention on Yelu Nanxian, so how could she have known that she would suddenly take out a crossbow? It had to be known that crossbows were a powerful weapon used by the government to deal with the people in the world of martial artists. They were fast and powerful, and normal martial artists would not be able to dodge them. In fact, if a hundred-man squad fired their crossbows at a close distance, even the five ultimate martial artists would die if they were not careful.
It was precisely because of the existence of crossbows and armies, as well as some hidden experts worshipped by the government, that the countries in this world had enough deterrence against all kinds of pugilistic world experts. Otherwise, whoever had the highest martial arts would become the emperor.
Yelu Nanxian's sudden arrow was three times faster than an ordinary crossbow arrow. Not to mention, there was no warning at all. On top of that, the two women were only about ten feet away from each other. How could Icy Snow dodge it?
She could even see the cold glint of the arrowhead. Icy Snow sighed in her heart, 'Forget it, forget it. I didn't expect to be separated by life and death so soon after I reunited with Qingshu …'
Just as Xia Qingqing was about to lose her life, a gust of wind suddenly shot out from the side, forcibly knocking the arrow to the side. Icy Snow had just escaped death, she looked to the side with joy, but before she could rejoice, she saw that Yelu Nanxian's sword had already pierced into Xia Qingqing's chest.
"Ah!" Icy Snow cried out in alarm, but it was too late to save Xia Qingqing. At that moment, a figure suddenly rushed out and grabbed Xia Qingqing. The other hand raised, catching the sword that was inches away from Yelu Nanxian. Yelu Nanxian's lightning-fast sword instantly stopped.
Yelu Nanxian was shocked and angry at the same time. In this world, there were only a few people who could catch her sword with two fingers. Looking up, it was indeed the person she guessed. Biting her lips, she angrily shouted, "Song, get out of my way!"
This person was indeed Song Qingshu. He had just come out from the prison to find something, but he didn't expect to run into the scene of three women fighting, "Why are you fighting?"
He even secretly guessed that it couldn't be because of jealousy, right? But he immediately denied this speculation. After all, the Yelu Nanxian he knew was usually calm and collected, but deep down in her bones, she was incomparably proud. She would never do something like this.
"Why don't you ask them yourself what they did?" Yelu Nanxian looked at the two women, her anger still lingering.
Song Qingshu was startled, turning to look at Xia Qingqing, "What did you do?"
Xia Qingqing was not a good-tempered person to begin with. Adding to the fact that she was attacked without rhyme or reason and almost lost her life, she was even angrier. She coldly snorted, "We were just having a nice chat here, but the moment she came, she pulled out her sword and attacked us. Who knows what happened?"
"You!" Yelu Nanxian's almond-shaped eyes widened, but unfortunately, her sword was caught between Song Qingshu's fingers, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull it out.
Song Qingshu smiled bitterly, "Everyone calm down, speak slowly, I believe there must be some misunderstanding."
"What kind of misunderstanding could there be?" Yelu Nanxian's eyes reddened, tears rolling down her cheeks like pearls from a broken necklace, "My older brother went to the prison to interrogate them, but who would have thought that the two of them would take the opportunity to kill my older brother and escape from the prison. Not only that, they even beat my older brother to such a miserable state, he must have suffered great torture before he died …" Although she didn't like her older brother's bullying and tyrannical ways, they were siblings after all. Ever since they were little, her older brother had always taken good care of her, so their relationship had always been very good. Now that she saw Yelu Sui's tragic death, she was naturally extremely sad and angry.
"That person is dead?" Xia Qingqing was surprised. Although she didn't know Yelu Sui's identity, from his description, she knew he was the same person who had come to the prison and harassed them.
"You sure know how to act." Yelu Nanxian sneered.
Knowing her brother was dead, Xia Qingqing didn't want to argue with her anymore, she softened her tone, "That man came to the prison and tried to take advantage of me and Sister Bing Xue 'er, I did teach him a good lesson, but he left after beating him up. Could it be that he suffered internal injuries? That shouldn't be the case, I know how much strength I used, it's just some superficial wounds. "
Yelu Nanxian trembled, "What internal injuries, my brother died because someone slit his throat!" Thinking of her brother's tragic state, she felt a chill run down her spine. "That's impossible, it wasn't us." Xia Qingqing hurriedly said.
"The prison was heavily guarded, only the two of you escaped, if it wasn't you, who else could it be?" Yelu Nanxian angrily retorted.
Song Qingshu finally understood the whole story, he didn't expect Yelu Sui to also die, no wonder the prison was so heavily guarded, it was only because of the prison break, "Nanxian, they aren't lying."
Yelu Nanxian didn't believe him, "Hmph, they're your women, of course you'll speak up for them." Although she wasn't sure, she noticed the way the two women looked at Song Qingshu, as a woman herself, how could she not see the relationship between them? Thinking of this, she felt even more annoyed.
Hearing this, Xia Qingqing and Bing Xue 'er's faces turned red. After all, they were widows living alone, they had husbands in name, now that an outsider had exposed their relationship, it was no wonder they felt awkward.
"I'm not speaking up for them, I was there too." Song Qingshu said in a low voice.
"You were there too?" Yelu Nanxian was surprised.
"That's right," Song Qingshu nodded, "I was the one who rescued them from the prison."
Yelu Nanxian's face suddenly paled, "So you were the one who slashed them …" In that instant, all her hopes turned to dust.
Song Qingshu knew at a glance that she was thinking the wrong thing, he snapped, "What nonsense are you thinking, your brother wasn't killed by them, nor was I the one who killed him."
Yelu Nanxian bit her lip, "I know my brother's character, he must have been tempted to bully your two lovers, and you saw him. How could the world-renowned Golden Snake King tolerate another man offending his' forbidden woman ', so he killed him. In any case, he's just a hedonistic son of a rich family, why would he care about you?" She knew her brother's daily habits, and could more or less guess what he was doing in prison. Although it was shameful, it wasn't a crime worthy of death.
Hearing her call him 'lover' and 'forbidden woman', both Xia Qingqing and Bing Xue 'er felt extremely embarrassed, but there was a strange feeling in their hearts, they could indeed be considered Song Qingshu's lover …
"Your imagination is quite strong," Song Qingshu smiled bitterly, "I know Yelu Sui, how could I kill him?"
"Although my brother is the son of Wei Wang, you don't have to care about him, do you?" Yelu Nanxian still didn't believe it.
Song Qingshu looked at the sparkling tears on her face and said softly, "I don't really care about the son of Wei Wang, but he's your brother, why would I kill my brother-in-law?"
As soon as he said this, Xia Qingqing and Bing Xue 'er's expressions instantly became extremely strange. Bing Xue' er had a faint smile on her face, while Xia Qingqing secretly spat, 'I knew it, none of the beautiful women around this bastard can escape from his palm. Last time, I already felt that they were flirting with each other. Next time when I return to Shandong, I'll have to remind Ah Jiu to control her husband, so that he doesn't fool around all day.'
Because of her identity, it was not convenient for Xia Qingqing to say anything about Song Qingshu, but the jealousy gene in her bones inevitably flared up, so she subconsciously thought of finding Ah Jiu.
At this time, Yelu Nanxian's originally pale cheeks instantly turned red, she was ashamed and angry, "What brother-in-law!"
