Although the entire process was played down and calm, Bai Bing and Hua Yan felt that Chu Xingyun was unfathomable.
Imagine if Chu Xingyun wanted to deal with them, what would the outcome be if they were the ones facing such an assassination method?
There was no need to think or guess. Without a doubt, their performance would be no different from Nangong Junjie's.
Nangong Junjie came without a shadow and left without a trace. With a stab, all sound and light were devoured by the Black Hole Heavy Sword. Until his death, Nangong Junjie didn't feel anything unusual!
Zhao Ke's beard tassels, Wu Gou's snow-white hooks.
Silver saddle shining on white horse, Valiant as a shooting star.
Killing one person in ten steps, Unstoppable for a thousand miles.
Brushing away his clothes, Hiding his identity and name.
Bai Bing and Hua Yan looked at the vast night sky and the quiet Southern Ming Empire's Upper House. They heard the chirping of cicadas and the croaking of frogs around them. They felt that everything was unreal, as if they were experiencing an absurd and unruly dream.
Nangong Junjie, whose name shook the world, suppressed the Nanming Academy, and dominated the Upper House of Nanming Academy, was dead. However, his death was so humble and insignificant. Even the chirping of the cicadas didn't stop at all because of his death.
Gliding through the night sky, Chu Xingyun floated in through an open window on the top floor of the White Pavilion.
Plop …
With a shake of his hand, Chu Xingyun shook Nangong Junjie's corpse to the ground.
With a stretch of his right hand, the devouring power of Wu Ling's Sword was instantly activated and directly devoured Nangong Junjie's Wu Ling talent.
With a clang, Chu Xingyun's third Wu Ling talent was finally completed.
At this point, Chu Xingyun's three great Wu Ling talents were Transient Steps, Ancient Ghostly Eyes, and Eye of Heaven's Punishment!
Upon closer inspection, one could see that Chu Xingyun's left eye was in the shape of a spiral. It was like a greyish black vortex that was rotating slowly. This was the characteristic of the Ancient Ghostly Eyes.
At first glance, Chu Xingyun's right eye seemed normal. However, there were five different colors in his pupil: green, yellow, red, white and black.
Obviously, these five colors came from the Eye of Heavenly Punishment of the Five-Colored Peacock!
Putting aside how Chu Xingyun tested the Eye of Heavenly Punishment, on the other side, Nangong Huayan stared blankly at Nangong Junjie's corpse. Until now, she still couldn't believe that Nangong Junjie had died so easily!
Chu Xingyun shook his head helplessly. To avoid any unexpected complications, he reached out with his right hand and pulled out an illusory peacock image from Nangong Junjie's corpse.
Then, Chu Xingyun activated the devouring power of the Black Hole Epee and swallowed Nangong Junjie's corpse. At this point, Nangong Junjie had completely disappeared from this world. Not even a trace of him was left behind.
Nangong Huayan stared blankly at the illusory five-colored peacock in Chu Xingyun's hand. She swallowed her saliva nervously. She was nervous and afraid, but more than that, she was looking forward to seeing it.
Chu Xingyun shook his head helplessly and said, "If you don't devour it, this illusory Wu Ling will disappear!"
Ah! I'll devour it … I'll devour it …
Nangong Huayan didn't dare neglect Chu Xingyun's words. She reached out with her right hand and the scarlet firebird, Wu Ling, flew out and circled around the five-colored peacock cheerfully.
Si si …
After circling a few times, the five-colored peacock turned into a stream of five-colored light and entered the firebird's body.
Finally … the five-colored peacock completely disappeared. All the five-colored light entered the firebird's body.
Boom!
With a whistling sound, the firebird grew in size. In the blink of an eye, it grew from the size of a palm to the size of a hen.
Upon closer inspection, the firebird was very peculiar. It had scarlet feathers, a phoenix head, eagle claws, and peacock feathers. Flames rose around its body. It was a magnificent sight.
There were only five peacock plumes on the tail, and the feathers were completely red. However, at the end of the tail, there were five oval peacock plumes. The five spots were respectively green, yellow, red, white, and black. Five different colors.
Looking at her own Wu Ling, Nangong Huayan couldn't help but cheer. After devouring Nangong Junjie's five-colored peacock, her firebird's power had greatly increased. Its ability had also been upgraded from the original Fire of Devouring to the more powerful Raging Flames of Destruction!
Nangong Huayan was so happy that she jumped and cheered. She held Chu Xingyun's hand for a while and then held Bai Bing's hand for a while.
Today, the mountain that was pressing on her head had finally been removed. Her future finally ushered in unlimited light.
Moreover, her mother's death was finally avenged today. She finally didn't have to marry Nangong Junjie anymore.
In her joy, Nangong Huayan couldn't hide her excitement. While jumping, she fiercely kissed Chu Xingyun on the lips.
Facing this sudden attack, Chu Xingyun didn't have time to react and was kissed directly.
Looking at Nangong Huayan with a wry smile, Chu Xingyun shook his head. He really didn't expect this.
If Chu Xingyun and Nangong Huayan were enemies, under full alert, such a sneak attack wouldn't be able to threaten Chu Xingyun at all. He would be able to dodge it easily.
But now, where did Chu Xingyun's vigilance come from? Nangong Huayan didn't have any killing intent, so he couldn't guard against it at all.
Moreover, don't underestimate Nangong Huayan. Although Chu Xingyun could definitely kill her in a head-on battle, it didn't mean that she was weak.
In a situation where he was unprepared and unguarded, and the distance was so close, coupled with Nangong Huayan's speed that wasn't inferior to Chu Xingyun's, such a sneak attack was really difficult to guard against.
Flying birds were like this. Even the slowest bird was much faster than the fastest beast on the ground.
Looking at Chu Xingyun's bitter smile, Nangong Huayan suddenly became unhappy. She put her hands on her waist and said, "Why? Are you disdainful of this lady's kiss? Let me tell you … this kiss is Hua Yan's first kiss! "
While speaking, Nangong Huayan sadly lowered her head and said with grievance, "You've done so much for Hua Yan and helped Hua Yan so much. Hua Yan has nothing to thank you for, so let's repay you with Hua Yan's first kiss."
Helplessly shaking his head, Chu Xingyun said with a wry smile, "Is this repayment? I think you're biting the hand that feeds you! I treat you as a brother and helped you out of kindness, but you want to … "
Boohoo …
While Chu Xingyun was speaking passionately, Bai Bing covered his mouth and said angrily, "No matter what, Hua Yan's first kiss is genuine. It's fine if you're not grateful, but don't hurt her feelings."
Shrugging his shoulders, Chu Xingyun signaled to stop talking. Only then did Bai Bing let go of him.
Sighing, Chu Xingyun looked at Bai Bing and Nangong Huayan with a complicated expression. In the end … he didn't say anything.
He could understand Nangong Huayan's gratitude. Although in Chu Xingyun's opinion, such gratitude was really unnecessary, from Nangong Huayan's point of view, she had nothing to repay except this.
In terms of money, Chu Xingyun had more than her. In terms of strength, Chu Xingyun could kill her in seconds. In terms of authority, Bai Bing was now the chancellor of Nanming Academy! In terms of status …
No matter from which point of view, everything that Nangong Huayan had was something that Chu Xingyun didn't need.
Honestly speaking, Nangong Huayan thought that the only thing that was precious to her was her first kiss.
Night fell.
