Chapter 1712: Chapter 1713: I Won’t Satisfy You

Thinking this way, Xiao Changyi held his longsword and stepped up the stairs, heading towards Dongfang Tianyang on the platform.

An Jing and the others followed behind Xiao Changyi, each holding a sword as well.

Regarding Xiao Changyi’s claim that he was slandering Xiyun, Dongfang Tianyang was about to curse Xiao Changyi for having no shame and refusing to admit it, but before he could, he saw Xiao Changyi walking towards him with a blood-stained longsword, reminding him of his late imperial brother.

He immediately sneered sinisterly, ”You killed my imperial brother with this sword, didn’t you? If you truly have the ability, I hope you can kill me the same way you killed him.”

Xiao Changyi replied, ”I will not grant you this satisfaction.”

With those words, Xiao Changyi’s sword also thrust towards Dongfang Tianyang. The dozen guards next to Dongfang Tianyang immediately gathered behind him, each willing to protect him with their lives.

An Jing and the others immediately stepped forward to help.

There were forty masked men alone; no matter how skilled those dozen guards were, they were quickly dealt with, leaving none standing.

As An Jing and Tobanya dealt with a guard together, Xiao Changyi’s sword indeed met Dongfang Tianyang’s sword. Dongfang Tianyang’s skills were taught by Dongfang Tianchong, whom Xiao Changyi had fought before, so he was very familiar with Dongfang Tianyang’s sword techniques.

After just a few moves, Dongfang Tianyang fell into a disadvantage.

Xiao Changyi showed no mercy. Seeing Dongfang Tianyang fall into a disadvantage, he pressed on relentlessly, forcing Dongfang Tianyang to have no way to counter. He attacked so fiercely that Dongfang Tianyang spat several mouthfuls of blood. Finally, he swung his sword forward and downwards, with a fierce edge, instantly injuring Dongfang Tianyang’s knees, making it impossible for him to stand, causing him to kneel down immediately.

With knees injured, as if broken, the pain was excruciating. Once he knelt, Dongfang Tianyang fell sitting on the ground.

His lips quivered from the pain, cold sweat pouring from his forehead, Dongfang Tianyang looked at Xiao Changyi, utterly confused: ”Why don’t you kill me?”

Xiao Changyi looked down on him: ”Killing you would be too easy. I want to make it so that you can neither live nor die.”

”You shall not have your way.” Dongfang Tianyang chuckled lightly, picked up his sword, and attempted to slit his own throat.

Compared to being unable to live or die, he’d rather die now.

The motion of Dongfang Tianyang using his sword to slit his throat was extremely quick, but Xiao Changyi’s hand moved even faster. Four silver needles shot out from Xiao Changyi’s hand, hitting Dongfang Tianyang’s wrist holding the sword, causing him to grimace in pain and drop the sword.

His neck was only slightly cut, just breaking the skin, so Dongfang Tianyang couldn’t die.

As for the four silver needles, they were Gong Juechen’s. Originally, Xiao Changyi planned to keep them to question Gong Juechen when he returned, but unexpectedly, they came in handy now.

Just as Dongfang Tianyang’s sword fell to the ground, Meng Lanqing immediately stepped forward, capturing Dongfang Tianyang while also covering his mouth with a cloth to prevent him from biting his tongue to commit suicide.

First, Dongfang Tianyang looked resentfully at Meng Lanqing who captured him, then he looked resentfully at Xiao Changyi.

Xiao Changyi, however, did not even glance at him, turning to walk towards An Jing while casually saying to Meng Lanqing, ”Meng Lanqing, I’ll leave him to you. I trust you know how to make him neither live nor die.”

”Yes, sir!” Meng Lanqing responded, simultaneously knocking Dongfang Tianyang unconscious to better take him away.
