Chapter 163 Cloud Feather 22
Faced with Gong Huanyu's fierce attacks, Gong Ziyu seemed to be rooted to the spot, and did not dodge or evade.
Seeing this, everyone's hearts leaped into their throats. They hurriedly drew their weapons and rushed forward, intending to stop Gong Huanyu. The three elders were even more shocked and cried out in alarm, rebuking him:
"stop!"
"Don't be so presumptuous!"
"Ziyu, get out of the way!"
Gong Huanyu seemed oblivious to the shouts behind him. His world was now reduced to black and white, with everything blurred into a phantom. Only Gong Ziyu remained in the world.
Only one thought remained in his mind: He had to successfully capture Gong Ziyu!
Just as his palm was about to touch Gong Ziyu, a cruel smile curled at the corner of his mouth. The smile was filled with a greedy desire for life and the pleasure of a successful scheme.
"Oh!"
Jin Fan, who had been guarding Gong Ziyu's side, kicked Gong Huanyu three zhang away, and then flashed forward, closing in like a shadow.
Seeing that Gong Ziyu was unharmed and had no injuries, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The huge weight in their hearts was finally lifted, and they immediately protected him tightly behind them, giving Gong Ziyu no chance to retaliate.
Gong Huanyu was still immersed in the beautiful dream of escaping with her life when Jin Fan kicked her back to reality. Before she could think too much, she hurriedly gathered her inner strength to fight back.
However, in that split second, Jin Fan's intelligence suddenly kicked in.
If Gong Huanyu were not dead at this time, then after wielding the blade, he would personally order his execution.
At that time, on one hand, there is the hatred of killing one's father, and on the other hand, there is the deep affection between brothers. Wouldn't taking up a blade lead to a dilemma?
Don't kill him! How can I be a son if I can't avenge my father?
Kill them! Two brothers killing each other is bound to draw criticism and give others ammunition to criticize them!
A cold glint flashed in Jin Fan's eyes; he had already made up his mind. With a barely perceptible twist of his wrist, the blade aimed at Gong Huanyu shifted an inch off course.
Gong Huanyu was overjoyed at the sight, thinking that Jin Fan had made a mistake. He immediately dodged the attack, but just as the two passed each other, Jin Fan's knife pierced his chest with perfect accuracy.
The cold blade pierced through Gong Huanyu's chest. His first sensation was not pain, but a bone-chilling cold emanating from the depths of his soul, like the most frigid frost in winter, freezing him inch by inch.
Gong Huanyu lowered his head, looking at the knife piercing his chest, somewhat unable to believe that he had ended up like this.
He had clearly planned that as long as he secretly found Wuliang Liuhuo, he could eliminate Wufeng and avenge his parents. Why did things turn out this way?
It was so close, just a tiny bit more!
He struggled to lift his head, looking at the various expressions on the faces of the people in front of him, and tried to say something, but as soon as he opened his mouth, large mouthfuls of blood came out, instantly soaking his chest.
As his life force rapidly faded, Gong Huanyu passed away without even leaving a single word.
Jin Fan lowered his head and walked up to Gong Ziyu, looking regretful. "Zhi Ren, I originally wanted to capture him alive, but who would have thought he would resist so fiercely? I had no choice but to..."
Gong Ziyu waved his hand to stop him from saying anything more. Actually, he really wanted to give Jin Fan an approving look and say, "Well done!"
However, considering the presence of so many palace officials in the courtyard, he naturally couldn't appear too cold-hearted.
He looked at Gong Huanyu's corpse and sighed. With a dejected expression, he ordered his men to clean up Gong Huanyu's body. Then, ignoring the hesitant words of the crowd, he sent them all away.
The group left the Feather Palace with heavy steps, none of them expecting the night to be so lively.
First, they learned that Lady Wuji had personally admitted to being the Unsworded Assassin. Shocked, they then learned that Gong Huanyu had faked his death. Just as everyone was trying to process these two explosive pieces of news, Gong Huanyu suddenly appeared, instantly confirming the faked death.
I thought the commotion would end tonight, but then Gong Ziyu tricked me into revealing that Gong Huanyu had poisoned the old master.
One explosive piece of news after another, so fast that it's overwhelming and exhausting.
Before leaving, the three elders hesitated for a moment, then asked, "What has Lord Zhiren done with Mist Princess?"
How to deal with it?
Thinking of the original owner's relationship with Lady Wuji, Gong Ziyu pondered for a moment: "My father already knew her identity before he passed away."
The implication is that since his father didn't punish Kirihime, he naturally wouldn't either.
The three elders understood his meaning, pondered for a moment, and left without saying a word, which was taken as tacit approval of the matter.
