Chapter 55 Blood Feud
"Coo coo~"
A familiar call came, and everyone knew it was a spirit pigeon. However, this time the spirit pigeon that flew in was not one of the five that everyone was familiar with, but a blue spirit pigeon.
"This is……"
The seven spirit doves correspond one-to-one with the seven swords, each representing a different color: red, blue, purple, green, orange, cyan, and yellow. The cyan spirit dove corresponds to the sixth sword, the Azure Light Sword!
Everyone looked in the direction the spirit pigeon had come from and saw a familiar figure carrying a long sword leaping over using his lightness skill.
"It's you!"
The newcomer was none other than Tiao Tiao, a protector of the Demonic Cult. The moment they saw him, everyone drew their swords and became instantly on high alert. After all, in their minds, Tiao Tiao was a protector of the Demonic Cult, an enemy of theirs. Moreover, members of the Demonic Cult never acted alone; when they saw one, there was already a group around him.
However, Fang Xiu and Hong Mao did not make a move. Fang Xiu had read the script, while Hong Mao had pieced together the general outline based on some clues. Moreover, he was wrong. With everyone's strength, how could they not take down Tiao Tiao alone?
"We meet again, everyone!" Tiaotiao greeted with a cupped-fist salute, his gaze lingering on Fang Xiu for a moment. Tiaotiao considered himself to have diligently practiced and never slacked off over the years, and his strength was quite good. However, he had recently witnessed Fang Xiu's attack firsthand; one person was comparable to five swords combined, his strength was astonishing. If he had that kind of strength, perhaps...
"Let me reintroduce myself. I am a protector of the Demonic Sect. And also... the successor of the Seven Swords, the master of the Azure Light Sword—Jump Jump!"
Thinking about all this now is meaningless. Jump Jump reveals the Azure Light Sword behind him and uses the Azure Light Sword Technique to prove that what he said is true.
"If you really are the Master of the Azure Light Sword, then how did you end up joining the Demonic Sect?"
Although he was already 70-80% convinced, there was still one question that Da Ben couldn't figure out.
Upon hearing Da Ben's question, everyone present couldn't help but cover their faces, and Dou Dou next to Da Ben couldn't resist nudging him with her elbow.
What is this idiot asking? He just keeps jumping around and not saying anything, but considering the broken walls and ruins nearby, as well as the traces of being chopped, hacked, and burned, isn't that obvious enough?
"There's nothing wrong with talking about it." Taking in everyone's actions, Tiao Tiao shook her head, a look of reminiscence in her eyes.
"You've probably already seen the surroundings. This used to be my home—the Azure Dragon Gate."
"Many years ago, Black Heart Tiger returned and stormed the Azure Dragon Gate. My parents died at his hands at that time. In the end, I was the only one who escaped from the vast Azure Dragon Gate with this Azure Light Sword."
"My parents told me when I ran away that I should hide my identity and wait for the time when the seven swords could be combined."
But I can't do it!! Ever since I escaped, I've always dreamt of everything that happened, of everyone in the family, of my parents. The hatred for my parents is irreconcilable! How could I not avenge them!!
Therefore, I hid the Azure Light Sword, joined the Demonic Sect, and spared no expense to ascend to the position of Protector of the Demonic Sect, all for revenge! To avenge the massacre of my entire family by Black-Hearted Tiger!!
At this point, a hint of pain flashed in Tiao Tiao's eyes, and two streams of tears slid down her cheeks.
"It's just that I'm useless. Over the years, I still haven't found an opportunity to assassinate Blackheart Tiger."
Jumping smiled wryly and said to himself, "But there's nothing I can do. Black Heart Tiger is just too strong. His skill has reached its peak. Even if he takes a Seven Swords Combination head-on in the future, Rainbow Cat will still need to follow up with a ten-layer Fire Dance Whirlwind to barely kill him. It would be too difficult for Jumping to kill him by himself."
Seeing that Tiao Tiao was in low spirits, everyone offered words of comfort. With Tiao Tiao included, they had now gathered six swords. As long as the six swords were combined and they found the final Whirlwind Sword Master, they could combine the seven swords to eliminate demons and protect the righteous path!
However, Jump Jump couldn't wait any longer. He didn't know how long it would take to find the Seventh Sword, and time was what he needed most right now!
Upon hearing that Jump Jump planned to take advantage of the current opportunity while Black Heart Tiger was healing Black Little Tiger, everyone's faces showed thoughtful expressions.
The Seven Swords were by no means pedantic; if they could eliminate the evil Blackheart Tiger, they would not hesitate to take action.
But is it even possible?
Blackheart Tiger is by no means weak. He survived the combined attack of the previous Seven Swordsmen. Blackheart Tiger's martial arts skills have already reached their peak. Can he really defeat him with just six swords?
Don't forget that this is the headquarters of the Demonic Cult, the place with the largest number of members. Although the combined power is strong, it also consumes a lot of internal energy. If it fails, the fate of everyone is predictable.
Rainbow Cat weighed the pros and cons. Emotionally, he was willing to give it a try, but rationally, he knew very well that the chances of getting six swords were slim. After all, when the swords were combined, the combined power would increase several times over with each additional sword. The difference in power between six and seven swords was huge. They couldn't afford to gamble on this and risk failure.
"In that case, why don't I go to the Demonic Sect with Tiaotiao?" Fang Xiu said, expressing his thoughts.
"First, combine the six swords. After we find out the whereabouts of the last sword, Rainbow Cat and the others will go find the last sword, while I will go to the Demonic Sect with Jump Jump and wait for the right opportunity to act."
"We'll wait for a while. If you don't come, Tiaotiao and I will make our move."
At this point, Fang Xiu looked at everyone, especially Sally's worried eyes, smiled, and continued, "Even if I don't succeed, it won't be difficult for me to escape with my strength."
As he spoke, Fang Xiu put his arm around Tiao Tiao, who was standing to the side, and said, "Besides, we have Tiao Tiao as an inside man, so there's no need to worry."
Who says you can't have your cake and eat it too? Only children make choices; adults want it all!
After some deliberation, Rainbow Cat and the others agreed to Fang Xiu's idea. Speed was of the essence, and the group immediately attempted to combine the six swords!
The beam of light from the combined six swords was several sizes larger than that from the five swords. Standing aside and watching, Fang Xiu weighed the situation and nodded secretly. Although the combined power of the six swords was strong, it was no match for him.
The six swords combined, and the location of the final sword appeared in the air—the Hundred Herbs Valley of the Ten-Mile Gallery!
At this point, Fang Xiu and the seven others split into two groups. Hong Mao led the others to Baicao Valley to find the Whirlwind Sword Master, while Fang Xiu and Tiao Tiao returned to the Demonic Sect headquarters to wait for an opportunity to act!
"Take care of yourself!"
"Take care, you too!"
After watching Rainbow Cat, Sally, and the others leave, Fang Xiu followed Jumpy. He didn't know the way to the Demonic Sect's headquarters, so Jumpy had to lead the way.
With Jumpy, the protector of the Demonic Cult, Fang Xiu's plan to infiltrate the Demonic Cult's headquarters went quite smoothly. Now, because Black Tiger was healing Black Tiger, Jumpy's words were the most effective in the entire Demonic Cult.
But all of this is meaningless, and Jump Jump never cares about any of that; all he ever wants is revenge.
"That is the raging blade and the furious sword."
Dressed in all black to conceal their presence, Tiao Tiao, accompanied by Fang Xiu who was dressed similarly, stood at a distance, observing.
Mad Blade was a burly man, no shorter than Big Ben, while Nu Sword was the opposite, a lean and tall man, a head taller than Mad Blade.
