Berserk God of War

Chapter 1424: Chapter 1424: Silencing Witnesses, Failed Strike

At this moment, Sikong Jing had already decided that Pei Feishan must not leave here alive.

Just as a murderous intent surged in Sikong Jing’s eyes...

Yao Yulou, who was preparing to leave again, said, ”If you want to go, just go... But aren’t you making too much of a fuss over something that’s almost impossible? It’s extremely laughable.”

”I think you should just report your suspicions directly to the master.”

”Wouldn’t it be simpler to let the Qianwang Holy Tower send someone to investigate?”

At this, Yao Yulou, who had his back to Pei Feishan, slightly squinted his eyes.

Likewise, Sikong Jing’s eyes shone coldly. If Pei Feishan reported his suspicions to the Qianwang Holy Tower, it would be a big problem.

The next moment, Pei Feishan burst into laughter...

”Haha, of course, I need to be a bit cunning.”

”But I won’t report it to the Qianwang Holy Tower. As long as I prove my guess is correct, then I’ve made a great achievement.”

”It’s a monumental accomplishment. How could I possibly hand it over to someone else?”

As long as it’s proven that Sikong Jing is Sikong Buwang, his achievement would be tremendous, and he’s sure to be quite pleased.

And Sikong Jing felt relieved; it would be easier to deal with as long as Pei Feishan hasn’t reported it yet.

Meanwhile, with his back still to Pei Feishan, Yao Yulou laughed lowly and said, ”Indeed, if this is true, it might even be suspected that Sikong Jing is a remnant of Su Old Demon, right?”

In an instant, Pei Feishan’s eyes lit up...

”Exactly, if Sikong Buwang is dead, he naturally isn’t a remnant of Su Old Demon.”

”But if he’s alive and is that little brat Sikong Jing, then he practically is...”

”Even if he isn’t, it can prove he colludes with Su Old Demon remnants.”

”Then, by pinning a hefty charge on him, my merit becomes even greater, and I get to avenge Fenqing and Fen Yi’s blood feud.”

At this, Pei Feishan couldn’t help but laugh heartily again.

Meanwhile, Yao Yulou remained calm and said, ”Pei Feishan, aren’t you afraid I’ll rob you of credit by telling me this?”

”Even if Sikong Jing is Sikong Buwang, he wouldn’t confide in me anyway.”

”But he’s right by my side. Deceiving him into revealing the truth seems much easier and faster for me than for you.”

Yao Yulou’s meaning was that investigating Sikong Jing was simpler for him than for Pei Feishan.

Just like that, Pei Feishan was dumbfounded.

The corners of his mouth twitched slightly... In fact, his suspicion of Yao Yulou was merely superficial. If Yao Yulou hadn’t betrayed the Qianwang Holy Tower, he indeed could have stolen his credit.

”Hahaha...”

As Pei Feishan trembled with uncertainty, Yao Yulou laughed aloud.

”Rest assured, I haven’t even resolved the mess of the Evil Charm Holy Body yet. The master is becoming increasingly impatient with me, why would I compete with you for such unlikely credit?”

”But Pei Feishan, since you’ve told me, surely you haven’t told anyone else, have you?”

As he said this, Yao Yulou, still with his back to Pei Feishan, had eyes narrowed to a line...

Pursing his lips, Pei Feishan said menacingly, ”Humph, of course, I wouldn’t tell others about my suspicions.”

He had just wanted to learn from Yao Yulou about Sikong Jing’s situation.

Who knew Yao Yulou would become a contender for his credit, and now thinking back, he somewhat regretted it. Had he known, he would have directly taken Sikong Jing’s portrait and sent someone to the North Central Plains to verify it.

Yao Yulou further asked, ”So, you’re the only one at Shiyu Commerce and Qianwang Holy Tower who suspects this?”

Hmm?

Suddenly, Pei Feishan noticed a strange tone in Yao Yulou’s voice, and the next moment... Buzz!

A terrifying sword light burst from Yao Yulou.

Although Yao Yulou was still back-to-back with Pei Feishan, the sword light unexpectedly flashed from his back, thrusting violently towards Pei Feishan’s chest.

This strike was both sudden and overwhelmingly powerful...

Even though Pei Feishan had been vigilant, he couldn’t react in time when it hit.

Wow...

Pei Feishan was instantly knocked away by the sword light, crashing towards the lake, while Yao Yulou turned to pursue him.

Splashes...

In the next moment, the sound of water erupted as Pei Feishan’s blasted figure triggered the aura of an Emperor’s Artifact.

He ascended high into the air again, standing over the lake.

His chest was covered in blood, clearly wounded by the swordsmanship, yet his eyes shone with an insanely bright light as he stared intently at the pursuing Yao Yulou.

”You really want to kill me?”

”Yao Yulou, you’ve actually reached the third Great Realm of the Emperor Martial Stage. So, it was indeed you who killed the emissary back then.”

”You’ve betrayed.”

Yao Yulou didn’t reply, but wielded his sword to attack Pei Yufeng, while releasing an Emperor’s Artifact to seal the surrounding space.

He couldn’t allow the fighting aura here to spread...

His expression was cold to the extreme, his entire being emanating killing intent.

On the lake, Pei Feishan, fearless, shouted sternly, ”What a pity, such a pity, I’m terribly afraid of dying, always hiding a protective Emperor’s Artifact on my chest, otherwise I’d be dead by now.”

”Now it’s thrilling...”

”You’ve betrayed, meaning Jiang Bi’s daughter and Hua Meixi are both Evil Charm Holy Bodies.”

”And it also means you want to kill me for Sikong Jing.”

”Hahaha... So it proves that Sikong Jing is indeed Sikong Buwang, no doubt, I’m really going to make a great achievement!”

Yao Yulou hovered over the lake, moving at an incredible speed...

He replied coldly, ”Pei Feishan, that only matters if you can walk out of this lake alive, kill!”

Now Yao Yulou must eliminate Pei Feishan; otherwise, if he heads to Wanbing City or the North Central Plains to investigate, Sikong Jing would certainly be finished, so Yao Yulou kept probing.

Upon knowing Pei Feishan neither reported his suspicions to Qianwang Holy Tower nor told others...

Yao Yulou took action to eliminate future troubles.

Yet, Yao Yulou hadn’t expected Pei Feishan to always hide a protective Emperor’s Artifact, hence surviving the sneak attack.

”Yao Yulou, you’ve underestimated me.”

Pei Feishan’s face was immensely hideous as he charged at Yao Yulou.

The two clashed fiercely over the lake...

Since Yao Yulou deliberately released an Emperor’s Artifact to restrain the surrounding aura from spreading, no one else noticed temporarily, except the three remaining in the woods by the lake: Sikong Jing and the others.

At this moment, Old He was no longer angry, Jiang Wanyou was still crying, but they were no longer tears of pain.

Because Yao Yulou had indeed betrayed the Qianwang Holy Tower.

Sikong Jing then exhaled deeply, now ninety-nine percent convinced, voiding the remaining disbelief.

For his sake, Yao Yulou had moved to kill Pei Feishan.

At this time, Old He softly said, ”Young Master, Yao Yulou probably can’t kill Pei Feishan. I’m afraid I have to step in.”

Unable to speak, Jiang Wanyou immediately looked at Old He, slightly anxious...

However, Sikong Jing suddenly shook his head, slowly saying, ”No, even though Yao Bajue may be confirmed trustworthy, I still have a small suspicion to verify clearly, continue to wait here and don’t show up.”

With that, Sikong Jing vanished from the treetop.
