Chapter 477: Chapter 477 Turmoil in the Snowstorm (1st update)
Fei Bai stepped out of the inn only to find out it had started to snow outside.
The accumulated snow had already surpassed the tops of his shoes.
The streets were deserted, without a single person or even a dog in sight.
In such weather, even beggars would find the warmest place they could to stay in.
Fei Bai took a deep breath, the piercing cold air suppressing the cough that was beginning to stir within him again.
He gripped his sword tightly, straightened his cloak, and limped into the alley next to the inn, proceeding on the path he had previously scouted out.
After scaling several high walls in a row, Fei Bai could already gaze in the distance upon the brilliantly lit Profound Wind Tower.
He hid in a concealed corner, an abnormal flush creeping across his face.
Fei Bai knew he was probably about to die.
Three months ago, Profound Wind Tower suddenly invaded the Sword Control Villa located in the northern territory of Kunlun; the villa’s master Wu Bucheng and the twelve Sword Control elders all perished in battle.
The Sword Control Villa was annihilated.
Actually, he should have died back then.
If it weren’t for Wu Bucheng leading everyone to forcefully carve out a bloody path and sending him out, Fei Bai was sure he would have died at that moment.
Although he didn’t die, he was struck by a palm from the lord of Profound Wind Tower, which inflicted a severe internal injury.
This internal injury persisted, growing ever more grievous.
Fei Bai couldn’t help but recall his master’s appearance before death.
“Fei Bai, you must survive! The swordsmanship legacy of Sword Control Villa that has lasted over a thousand years now relies solely on you!”
At the time he said these words, Wu Bucheng had already sustained a dozen serious injuries, and even his Listening Sea Sword, which had accompanied him for a hundred years, was broken.
Yet, even on the brink of death, he was still thinking about the legacy of the Sword Control Villa.
With this thought, Fei Bai revealed a slight bitter smile.
Master, your unworthy disciple cannot hold on any longer.
But before dying, one must do something.
In the past year, the Ahang Palace had been destroyed by the Fire King Temple, and almost none of the many other sects had survived.
It was said that the Great Monk Miyoi, in the final moments, burned his Golden Body to use the Annihilation of the Buddha Kingdom, eliminating over a dozen top experts from the Fire King Temple in one fell swoop.
They say a Bodhisattva is merciful, but in the end, didn’t that Great Monk also rage?
Fei Bai took another deep breath, the cold air considerably relieving the stuffiness in his chest and dispersing all distracting thoughts.
Master, wait for me, I am coming!
Fei Bai slowly drew the sword in his hand. His previous sword had been destroyed, and now he was using an iron sword that he had bought for twenty pieces of silver from a blacksmith’s shop.
Holding this iron sword, Fei Bai emerged from the shadows and walked slowly towards the dazzling Profound Wind Tower.
The wind and snow raged chaotically.
The guards at the door had also become a bit slack at this time.
In such weather, how could it be possible for anyone to come looking for trouble?
They huddled in a corner of the wall, chatting idly with each other.
“The lady of the tower has taken in another young boy, I heard he’s sleek and shiny!”
“Tsk, how many is that this month?”
“I heard that the previous ones are already dead, and they died miserably, all sucked dry to mere husks!”
“Hisss! Does the lady have such a big appetite?”
As they discussed, Fei Bai held his breath and focused, advancing as close as possible.
However, his current cultivation level wasn’t even comparable to a Heavenly Being, and after just over a dozen steps, the leader of the men frowned.
“We have a situation!”
As he spoke, he was about to get up to check.
Now is the time!
Fei Bai clenched his teeth, channeled all of his remaining cultivation into his legs, and leaped suddenly, launching an attack at the group.
Although it was just an ordinary iron-forged longsword, under Fei Bai’s full exertion, the sword still emitted a dazzling Sword Qi.
Pfft!
The two outermost soldiers had their throats cut by the Sword Qi and collapsed dead on the ground.
But the leader was clearly not an ordinary person; he let out a cold shout and drew his sword to make a slash.
The sound of metal clashing rang out.
