It was raining.
The rain came suddenly and fiercely in the middle of the night. It was as if the sky had been torn apart and the sea had been overturned. It poured down with a crash, and in an instant, thousands of small streams gathered on the ground.
Pei Yuan came out of the main hall, holding an oil paper umbrella. She waded through the water with the help of a servant girl to return to her "Orchid Pavilion Residence." Another servant girl was carrying a lantern to light the way for her. The wind and rain were fierce, and the paper lantern swayed. The servant girl used her own oil clothes to carefully protect the lantern, but the lantern was still blown out by a sudden gust of wind that carried the rain.
Before the servant girl could beg for forgiveness, Pei Yuan gave her a backhand slap. Her sharp fingernails left a bright red mark on the servant girl's face. Blood poured down, but the child did not dare to cry. She hugged the lantern and shrunk in the rain.
"Idiot! You can't even take care of a lantern! " Pei Pei raised her eyes to look at the dark sky that was filled with wind and rain. A wave of irritation came over her for no reason. She furrowed her brow, covered her cloak, and quickly walked into her secluded courtyard.
"You are not allowed to come to the porch. Don't dirty my floor." Pei Pei hated being disturbed by evil people and was a clean freak. She even chose the most peaceful and elegant Orchid Pavilion Residence. Everyone in the sect knew of these habits. The servant girls all responded in a low voice and retreated to the porch.
Outside the door was a storm that was like the whip of a god lashing the earth. Inside the door was a heavy and silent darkness.
Pei Yuan went to push the door open.
With a creak, the door slowly opened. Pei Yuan's gaze absentmindedly looked down and suddenly saw a faint trace of water on the wooden floor.
Her heart stirred. Pei Yuan reacted extremely quickly and immediately flew back.
But it was already too late.
"Crack!"
A white light flashed in the darkness, and a black shadow rushed out, brandishing a saber and stabbing forward. This saber was silent and as fast as lightning. In an instant, it was already in front of Pei Pei's face!
"Rip."
The faint sound of flesh and skin being cut rang in Pei Yuan's ears. She felt a cold pain on her left forehead, and then her left vision turned blood red.
Pei Yuan could not see clearly who was ambushing her in the darkness. She only knew that the only way to save her life was to save herself. Gritting her teeth and enduring the pain, Pei Pei pulled out her long sword with a 'qiang' sound. With a shake of the sword tip, the starlight filled the sky, dazzling everyone's eyes. At this critical moment, she even used the most precious sword technique that her Shifu had secretly taught her, the 'Vast Sky Sword'.
The opponent seemed to know that this sword technique was powerful and did not take it head-on. With a turn of his body, he slid past her like a fish in water. The moment he passed by her, he fiercely flicked his hand. Pei Yuan felt another sharp pain on her right forehead. Blood flowed down like a fountain, covering the last bit of her clear vision.
The murderous blade was as fast as lightning, and the furious attack was as sharp as lightning.
In the blink of an eye, the other drew a cross on Pei Yuan's face.
Her eyes were soaked in blood and she couldn't see anything. She couldn't use her sword properly anymore. The tearing pain on her face made her anxious and angry. She didn't know the extent of the injuries on her face, but judging from the amount of blood, her face must have been destroyed. Her opponent was vicious and ruthless, as if he had a deep hatred for her.
She felt that she wouldn't rest until she killed this person. So, she didn't care about the two wounds and swung her sword horizontally, wiping the blood from her palm on the sword. The sword suddenly emitted a red light, and in the darkness, it flowed strangely like blood. Within the flowing red light, bubbles like crab's eyes gradually appeared. The colorful bubbles looked like countless poisonous spiders crawling on the sword, making one's teeth ache and feel numb.
If there were descendants of the Taiyuan Dynasty present, they would have cried out in shock. The "Blood Sacrifice Divine Technique" was the secret divine technique of the Taiyuan Dynasty. Now that Pei Yuan had used it, it was as if she was going to fight to the death.
She wanted to fight to the death, but the other party might not be willing. When the person saw the strange red light, he immediately rushed out without a word. He kicked the door frame with the tip of his boot and spun around to escape the range of the red light. In the torrential rain, the black figure was like an eagle or a hawk. In the blink of an eye, he had already flown thirty feet away and disappeared in the curtain of rain that was like a wall.
Pei Yuan drew her sword and gave chase. Her divine technique was complete. She moved as fast as lightning and the long sword in her hand shone with a light. She only needed to raise her hand to immediately reach the back of the black figure.
But before she could raise her sword, she suddenly felt something slippery sweep past her, bringing with it a soft gust of wind. Then she felt pain in her finger and the long sword fell to the ground with a clang.
Pei Yuan was shocked, thinking that there was another enemy in the room. She desperately opened her eyes to look, but in her blood-red vision, she could only vaguely see a round shadow appearing and disappearing in an instant.
Then her feet softened as if she had tripped on something. Pei Yuan staggered.
The two scars on her face started to itch, as if there were countless little insects crawling in her wounds. In her shock, Pei Yuan could not care about fighting to the death. She hurriedly touched the scars, but the more she touched, the more itchy it became. She could not see anything in the blood red. She screamed in panic, "Someone! Someone! Get water for me! Call the imperial physician, call the imperial physician!!! "
There was no movement.
The servant girls that she had rushed into the rain for fear of dirtying the ground were still holding extinguished lamps, looking at her woodenly and coldly.
They stood woodenly in the rain, looking at the usually noble and domineering woman. In the torrential rain, her long hair was disheveled, her face and hands covered in blood. She opened her arms and shouted in the paulownia hallway. The two intersecting scars on her face formed a ferocious cross. Blood dripped from those fierce strokes, dripping onto the long hallway that she never allowed anyone to enter, staining the bright and clean floor with a bloody filth.
"Someone come … Someone come …"
No one moved, no one spoke. These lowly servant girls who had just witnessed the slaughter stood almost coldly in the rain.
The heavy rain had been turned into crystal walls by the wind, isolating them from the hatred in their eyes that had been ravaged by the sun.
"Someone … come … ah …"
Pei Yuan's wretched cries were drowned out by the sound of the rain and gradually disappeared. She madly sprinted along the hallway, but because she would occasionally bump into the pillars, she had more scars. The itching on her face grew more intense, but her strength was gradually being used up.
The rain seeped through the crimson curtains hanging in the hallway, drenching the curtains like blood. Behind the rain, Pei Yuan, dressed in red and soaked in blood, spun around and cried out in pain. She gradually fell down.
Her body fell on the steps, her black hair falling on the floor of the hallway, twisting like a snake in the watery ground. Her hand was trying to reach forward, as if she wanted to reach some hope to escape from this nightmare.
But she could never reach it.
The night had not ended. The wind and thunder were angry.
A low groan of confusion and pain sounded in the rumbling thunder.
