Shu Yue stepped extremely lightly and slowly, inching closer to Li Nao, who was sleeping soundly and snoring. With one hand, he slowly drew out his cold sword, his sharp gaze even more piercing than the blade.
When he was just a few steps away from Li Nao's bed, he squinted his deep eyes, his thin lips tightly pressed together. His well - defined features exuded a chilling coldness.
Expressionless, he seemed capable of killing anything. The cold sword exposed in the air occasionally glinted with a cold light, and the sound of the blade eager for blood was extremely harsh.
This faint sound just woke Li Nao from his deep sleep. He half - opened his eyes, and seeing Shu Yue standing by the bed with a menacing aura and a drawn sword, that terrifying look instantly jolted him out of his daze.
He suddenly sat up. Shu Yue, in response, flicked his sword. A gust of wind whistled past Li Nao's ear. When he came to his senses, there were already a few strands of his white hair hanging on Shu Yue's frost - like sword tip.
Li Nao didn't even know when Shu Yue had cut off his hair. In his shock, he was also amazed at the speed as fast as a silver snake's lightning.
If he hadn't dodged quickly, the sword might have already severed his carotid artery!
"Shu Yue! How dare you try to harm me!" Li Nao immediately drew out his snow - jade sword, trying to overpower Shu Yue in terms of momentum. But even when he stood up, he was invisibly oppressed by Shu Yue's powerful aura.
At this moment, what Li Nao saw in Shu Yue was mostly hostility and a thirst for blood. With his black clothes and black hair, and a slender and beautiful figure, accompanied by an undeniable chill, he made Li Nao struggle to breathe.
Shu Yue remained calm, but there was a hint of malevolence in his calmness. His eyes were bone - chillingly cold, and his tone was icy: "Li Nao, I seem to have warned you to stay away from my father. But you just had to come and seek death. Tell me, what should I do with you?"
Li Nao swallowed hard. His former imposing image now made him stammer timidly: "I, I don't know what you're talking about..."
But the panic and unease revealed in his eyes were all captured by Shu Yue's sharp gaze. Shu Yue's face grew even darker.
Whether it was because his aura was too strong or the cold wind from outside the window was blowing in, his black hair fluttered, and his clothes rustled. The clothes clung to his body, outlining his strong and outstanding figure. His handsome face was as cold as ice.
He stepped forward menacingly, and Li Nao actually stepped back. Although Li Nao's cultivation was stronger than his, at this moment, he was so intimidated by the aura that his limbs went stiff, and he couldn't even launch an attack.
"What did you do to my father when I was away during the day!"
"I, I didn't do anything. Don't act recklessly!"
"Heh, it seems you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Fine, I'll grant your wish."
As soon as the words left his mouth, Shu Yue, as fast as the wind, aimed the sharp blade at Li Nao and stabbed fiercely, directly targeting those lecherous and disgusting eyes.
But Li Nao tilted his head slightly backward, barely avoiding Shu Yue's fierce attack. Instead, he moved behind Shu Yue and severely slashed at his back with his sword, showing no mercy. The wound was so deep that the bone was visible.
Feeling a sharp pain in his back, Shu Yue took a few steps back, using his cold sword as a support, and half - knelt on the ground. He reached his hand behind his back and felt a pool of fresh blood.
His eyes were bloodshot. Looking down, his sharp eyebrows and eyes were as sharp as a knife. His sword - shaped eyebrows were full of unruly pride, and his deep eyes were as cold as an ice cellar.
He licked the blood on his fingertips with his tongue, staining his thin lips red. At first glance, he was shockingly handsome, but he was like a Shura.
Even though Li Nao had the upper hand, he still couldn't help but be intimidated by this cold aura. However, Shu Yue's injury gave him more confidence and a greater chance of victory.
That seemingly decent face now showed a sinister and smug smile. He sneered a few times, full of sarcasm: "Heh, Shu Yue, do you really think you can kill me? You're so naive."
"Since you want to seek death, I'll grant your wish. Once I get rid of you, no one will dare to stop my good deeds in the future."
Shu Yue naturally understood what he meant by "good deeds". The fire in his heart was completely ignited by Li Nao's lewd words.
Just as Li Nao was about to strike down from the air, Shu Yue quickly dodged to the side and scratched Li Nao's arm in the process.
Although he had perfectly retaliated once, compared to the wound Li Nao had inflicted on him, he clearly couldn't afford to continue fighting this elder.
He wasn't unaccustomed to being injured, but this time, the pain was bone - piercing. His vision gradually blurred, and his consciousness began to wander uncontrollably.
Unknowingly, his lips and face had already turned as pale as snow, and a layer of cold sweat was scattered on his forehead.
He wanted to attack again, but unexpectedly, he half - knelt on the ground once more. Suddenly, he spat out dark red blood from his mouth. This blood was not bright red but had a dark tinge.
Shu Yue was shocked. Could it be that there was poison on the sword?
"Heheh..." A sinister laugh sounded. He coldly raised his eyes and saw Li Nao walking towards him with a malicious smile: "Shu Yue, stop being so stubborn. Once you're poisoned by my 'Blood - Sealing Poison', there's only one outcome..."
He half - squatted down, a strange smile spreading on his lips as he eerily uttered a few words: "And that is... death!"
He deliberately emphasized the word "death". The coldness seeped into the bone marrow. Shu Yue showed an extremely strange smile and suddenly spat a mouthful of blood on Li Nao's face.
He retorted with a sneer, still stubborn and unruly. His heroic eyebrows and eyes still showed his disdain for Li Nao.
Li Nao's face gradually darkened. He slowly stood up, hiding a hint of malice behind his expressionless face. He suddenly lifted his foot and stepped hard on Shu Yue's back, just pressing on the shocking wound. The intense pain instantly spread through every corner of Shu Yue's body.
"Ugh..." He was forced to lie face - down on the ground. His eyebrows were almost knitted into a knot, but he still stubbornly let out only a muffled groan. He remained unyielding and unmoved in front of Li Nao.
Shu Yue's arrogance obviously disappointed Li Nao. He never expected that this man could remain so calm even under such great pain.
But in the end, he wanted to get rid of this thorn in his side once and for all, making Shu Yue disappear completely without anyone knowing.
"Shu Yue, I'll send you on your way first. Don't worry about your father down there. Don't worry, I'll take good care of him for you."
He said it casually, but his gaze became even more terrifying as he raised his sword. He shed his former detached appearance and revealed his true ugly self.
At this moment, Shu Yue only wanted to live. He couldn't die. He had promised Shu Yao that he would always protect him and accompany him.
Suddenly remembering something, just as Li Nao's sword was about to deliver a fatal blow, he tightly held the scale he took out from his bosom and with his last bit of strength, weakly uttered two words: "Long Mo..."
The next moment, he heard a scream. A dazzling light appeared. Through his blurry vision, he saw a graceful and elegant figure standing in front of him.
The black hair fluttered, the green robe billowed, with a proud and aloof posture, standing alone in the world. Looking down on the world, it seemed that nothing could catch his eye.
