Chapter 355: 196: Magician’s Peril! Sister of Ashi Luo!_2

"How much longer until she arrives?" Suo Lun asked.

"If all goes well, it should be a few hours." the Magician replied.

Suo Lun said, "How does your enemy compare to this man beside me in terms of martial arts? In the Rage Wave Kingdom, there are hardly any who can match him."

After looking at the Sword Master Bixiao for a good while, the Magician shook his head and said, "I don’t know."

This "I don’t know" actually gave Suo Lun quite a shock. If she said she didn’t know, it meant that her enemy’s martial arts skills might be on par with Bixiao’s.

Who could it be with such formidable martial arts?

Suo Lun said, "How did you make an enemy of her that day?"

The Magician said, "Her husband was on the verge of death, and she asked me to save him, but I did not, and her husband died. She was heartbroken and saw me as an enemy, so I concealed my identity and fled thousands of miles away."

Upon hearing this story, Suo Lun felt a strong sense of déjà vu. It was as if this scene came right out of "The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber."

Suo Lun looked at her for a while, and he couldn’t distinguish whether what she said was true or false.

However, it was not necessary to differentiate. He decided to stay out of this matter.

He then stood up and walked outside.

Meanwhile, outside the castle, Ye Jingfeng was feeding a giant snake, an enormous creature tens of meters long with a diameter of over a meter.

Such an immense being still required feeding by a person.

"Catch." Jing Feng tossed a melon into the air.

The giant snake opened its gaping jaw and caught it, swallowing it whole.

"Roll over." Jing Feng commanded.

Instantly, the giant snake indeed rolled over on the ground like a pet dog. However, since it was so huge, its roll made Suo Lun feel as though the very ground was shaking.

Then, Ye Jingfeng threw a large chunk of meat over, which the snake caught in its mouth and chewed a few times before swallowing.

Meat and fruit were paired together, all with careful consideration for nutrition.

"Master." When Ye Jingfeng spotted Suo Lun coming over, she greeted him joyfully, "Come see Xiao Qing. It’s my only playmate here, and it’s so clumsy."

Following that, she commanded, "Xiao Qing, tie a knot."

And so, the giant snake actually began to twist its body and started to tie itself into a knot.

Suo Lun was at a loss for words, not sure whether to call the snake smart or dumb; on one hand, it understood commands and even knew how to tie a knot.

On the other hand, was the snake not afraid that it wouldn’t be able to untie itself after performing such a feat?

Indeed, Suo Lun now realized that Ye Jingfeng seemed to be enjoying her time in the Sorcerer Manor more than he had imagined. The Magician had likely kept Jing Feng there because of her loneliness, and Jing Feng’s innocent charm made her good company.

"I’ve already talked to your Sorcerer grandmother, and we are leaving. Let’s go home now," Suo Lun said.

Ye Jingfeng asked, "Grandmother agreed?"

"Yes, she agreed. Now hurry along." The Magician’s voice came from within the castle, "You good-for-nothing girl, lazy and stupid, you’re no use to anyone here."

Instantly, Ye Jingfeng joyfully threw all the meat and fruit from the basket to the giant snake in one go, ready to leave with Suo Lun.

It seemed that she was constantly thinking of going home, without any attachment to the Sorcerer Manor, even though the Magician had been very kind to her.

Seeing Ye Jingfeng throw all the fresh meat and fruit, the giant snake became extremely excited. It leapt up to catch and devour everything. However, it had just tied itself into a live knot, and without untying it first, its leap turned the live knot into a fatal one.

The snake desperately cried out in distress.

"You’re hopelessly stupid. I’ve never seen anyone as idiotic as you." Ye Jingfeng said, and then she went forward to help the snake loosen the deadly knot with all her might.

Suo Lun was in a hurry to take Ye Jingfeng away, but he could only wait helplessly for her to untangle the clumsy snake’s fatal knot.

Just then,

the air suddenly turned cold, not merely an illusion, but a true sharp drop in temperature.

"Swoosh..." Right after, a blue Blinking Thorn dart flew swiftly through the air.

Suo Lun released a formidable spiritual power, locking onto the incoming blue Blinking Thorn.

Almost instantly, he felt as if time in the world had slowed down by a factor of several.

Then, he moved as quickly as he could to dodge, seeking to avoid the blue Blinking Thorn dart.

But...

It was too fast, far too fast. Even if Suo Lun had used several times his spiritual power, he couldn’t have dodged in time.

"Swoosh..." The blue enchantress darted straight into his neck, melting away instantly.

Immediately after, a terrifying ice-cold energy solidified Suo Lun’s body into ice, leaving him without any sensation.

The blue enchantress dart that she shot was made of ice.

"Swoosh, swoosh, swoosh..."

Almost simultaneously, not only Suo Lun, but also Ye Jingfeng and that giant serpent, were all frozen solid, unable to move.

Then, a figure of incomparable elegance arrived in an instant.

The air suddenly filled with a supremely cold, mysterious, and moving fragrance.

It was a woman who came, her face veiled, preventing Suo Lun from seeing her features. However, just the pair of eyes that could be seen were alluring and captivating.

Her azure eyes were like star-filled oceans.

Her purplish-red hair, as wavy as the ocean itself, slightly curled.

The skin that was exposed was truly whiter than snow—the epitome of purple hair and blue eyes, with a figure carved from ice and jade.

This was a foreign woman, her eyes alone exuded an astonishing mystery and allure.

For some reason, Suo Lun vaguely felt she had a somewhat familiar air.

"Yaomeng, you’ve been hiding for ten years, and now there’s no more escaping," said the woman, her voice as cold as cracking ice.

Then, she turned her starry and icy gaze toward Suo Lun, saying, "Knowing you’re bound to die, did you call for a few helpers too?"

It turned out, the sorcerer who changed Suo Lun’s face was named Yaomeng.

At that moment, Sorcerer Yaomeng opened the window and said, "Ashi Liren, these people have nothing to do with me. Since you’ve found me, I will accept death, but let them leave."

Ashi Liren?

Having heard this name, Suo Lun immediately remembered why he found her somewhat familiar.

She was the elder sister of Ashi Luo; thus, there was a resemblance in those enchanting eyes.

Ashi Luo was known for his striking beauty that could blind one’s eyes, and the woman in front of him had features even more delicate and mysterious, bewitching and tempting.

Then, Suo Lun remembered the words of Ashi Luo. He had hesitated whether to seduce his elder sister and thus asked the Sword Master Bixiao what it felt like to be with one’s own sister.

Latter, Suo Lun had specifically inquired about this Ashi Liren.

Upon learning about this woman, Suo Lun was shocked.

As the daughter of the first vassal of the Rage Wave Kingdom, Ashi Liren was a most mysterious woman who seldom showed her face.

But that wasn’t what truly startled Suo Lun; it was another identity she held.

Besides being the daughter of the Rouran City Lord, she was also a disciple of the strongest man in the world, Jiang Shang, the King of Dongli.

How she became the disciple of the King of Dongli was a complete mystery to the outside world, but from the age of less than ten, she had been learning martial arts from Jiang Shang.

In other words, she was also the senior sister of Jiang Xue.

"He’s not related to you?" Ashi Liren approached Suo Lun, her icy eyes looking at him as she coldly said, "Isn’t this pretty boy your new love?"

Then, she drew out a transparent blade, as clear as water, and placed it against Suo Lun’s neck.

The Dragon Gold Sword, one of only five in the world, and Suo Lun saw another one.

What kind of person was Jiang Shang, to have two of the mere five Dragon Gold Swords owned by his disciples?

However, Suo Lun’s concern was not this, but that inexplicably he was about to lose his life.

Ashi Liren’s eyes shot out icy hatred as she said, "Yaomeng, you saw my husband die without helping. Whether or not this pretty boy is your new lover, I would rather kill wrongly than let him go!"

Having said that, she readied her Dragon Gold Sword, about to violently slice off Suo Lun’s head.
