Take care on your journey!
Tuling Duo said this sentence very calmly. However for a person like her the calmer she spoke the more terrifying it was.
At least at this moment when she wanted to kill Suo Lun there was almost no hatred left in her heart.
Are you killing me for yourself or for Zhi Li? Suo Lun asked.
Tuling Duo said: Why must we distinguish it so clearly?
Suo Lun said: Actually I was originally planning to come to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains to find a dragon seal stone tablet. To be precise it is the dragon seal ruins. After obtaining it perhaps I can save Yan Yan.
Tuling Duo said: You probably also want to say that if I obtain the dragon seal ruins I can directly break through to dragon warrior. Moreover I am only twenty one years old this year. I am very likely to become the youngest dragon warrior in the Nu Lang Kingdom right?
Yes. Suo Lun said: After Yan Nai Er obtained the dragon seal ruins her cultivation soared and she directly broke through to dragon warrior.
Tuling Duo said: But the secret of this dragon seal ruins is in your heart. You will absolutely not say it out. No matter how I torture you you will not say it. If I want to obtain this dragon seal ruins I cannot kill you. Then you can take me to find it right?
Yes. Suo Lun said.
Tuling Duo said: Suo Lun what do you think is the biggest difference between you and Suo Han Yi?
Suo Lun said: He has high martial arts. I have low martial arts.
Tuling Duo said: Because he has nothing so he must rely on martial arts to rise above others. But you were born as the heir to a feudal lord so you spend your days indulging in wine and women chasing girls and you simply disdain practising martial arts. Because you clearly know that for you martial arts is merely an embellishment.
A trace of bitterness immediately appeared on Suo Lun face as he said: It is no longer an embellishment. If my martial arts were high I would not have fallen into your hands unable to live or die.
Tuling Duo said: This is only an accident. If it were not for Prince Zhi Li needing your Heavenly Water City and if it were not for your fathers sudden death a feudal noble like you would never need martial arts in your lifetime. But I have worked hard to practise martial arts since childhood. Do you know why?
Suo Lun said: To prove that you are stronger than men.
Yes. Actually for me it is enough for martial arts to be useful. Tuling Duo said: For example Gui Qin Shao has always worked hard to practise swordsmanship mostly to maintain her devilish figure and to have one more thing to show off to others. So for people like you and me martial arts cultivation is really just an embellishment. It is enough to be useful.
Suo Lun face was instantly filled with bitterness.
Tuling Duo said: I am indeed very tempted by the dragon seal ruins. But I know even more that greed clouds the mind. So for me now killing you is more important.
Suo Lun said: You really are the most outstanding woman I have ever seen. Once you remove me as your inner demon you will become even stronger. You can take over your fathers mantle.
It is not that easy. After all I am a woman. This world is always full of prejudice against women. Even Yan Nai Ers mercenary group is like this let alone the Nu Lang Kingdom. It is all because of my useless elder brother. Tuling Duo sighed: Suo Lun you are really very outstanding. Your wisdom temperament and will are all top notch talents. It is a pity that you are blocking everyones path so you must die.
Suo Lun smiled and said: Then is it still in time for me to surrender now? I will change sides now pledge loyalty to Prince Zhi Li. Since Gui Qin Shao does not want me anymore I will propose marriage to your father to marry you. Then I will go work in the general staff.
Suo Lun said this in a very teasing tone.
You will not. Tuling Duo said: I have never seen a more obsessive person than you. It is precisely because of this that you are doomed to die. Alright talking more is useless. Set off on your journey.
Suo Lun said: Then before I die can I make one request?
Tuling Duo said: Say it.
Leave me with an intact corpse. It is best not to make it bloody. Suo Lun said.
Alright. Tuling Duo said.
Then she used her horsewhip to loop around Suo Lun neck and tightened it fiercely.
She wanted to strangle Suo Lun to death alive.
Just like that behind Suo Lun she used the horsewhip to tightly strangle his neck and stared into his eyes.
Humans will suffer complete brain death after suffocating for a few minutes.
Suo Lun was a bit better and could hold on for a few more minutes because the demon star could reasonably control his brain domain reducing oxygen consumption to the minimum.
But…
Suo Lun would still die from lack of oxygen!
Tuling Duo just like that used the horsewhip to strangle Suo Lun neck with a calm expression and remained motionless.
In her mind she recalled scenes from her childhood.
Suo Lun had stripped her of her clothes then tied her up with ropes.
He used a bloodthirsty pen to write on her buttocks and placed stinging caterpillars on her peeing place.
This was a nightmare of her life. So she did not know how many times she had fantasised about killing Suo Lun like this. Now she had finally got her wish.
Just like that she stared as Suo Lun pupils gradually dilated.
Suo Lun was really different from others. In his eyes before death there was no fear only extreme calmness.
He almost did not struggle at all and just quietly waited for death to come.
Tuling Duo knew that a person would die after suffocating for about six minutes.
But just in case she would strangle Suo Lun neck for a quarter of an hour. Even if he was as dead as he could be she would still strangle him for a quarter of an hour.
Suo Lun just stared into her eyes without moving.
Tuling Duo stared back at him without moving either.
Time passed bit by bit. Suo Lun pupils gradually became bloodshot and gradually dilated.
This was a sign of death. Then Suo Lun used these eyes that were gradually heading towards death to stare at her.
Tuling Duo originally thought that her mind was extremely strong and she could keep looking straight at Suo Lun until he died.
However… when a person dies that kind of gaze is still too… shocking.
Finally Tuling Duo seemed unable to withstand this confrontation with the gaze of death. Her eyes trembled slightly her mind suddenly scattered and she instantly lost control.
The opportunity for a desperate counterattack arrived instantly! The chance to escape death finally arrived.
The demon star condensed its long accumulated mental power into an extremely sharp edge and shot it out fiercely. It pierced into Tuling Duos brain through her eyes and then exploded.
Ah… Tuling Duos brain suddenly suffered intense pain as if it was about to split open in an instant.
Then her brain domain became completely blank and her entire body instantly lost control. The hand that was strangling Suo Lun neck also instantly loosened.
Tuling Duos loss of control would be very short at most only half a second before she recovered.
Suo Lun used all his strength to suddenly break free from Tuling Duos whip and his body rolled to the side.
Then supporting his body that was almost completely collapsed he used his last strength to draw the sharp sword from Tuling Duos waist aimed at her chest position and stabbed fiercely.
Puchi…
Although his whole body was powerless this sword was an extremely light and sharp platinum sword. It easily pierced through Tuling Duos chest and the sword tip came out from her back. The snow white sword blade like water did not have a single drop of blood.
Then Suo Lun used all his strength to summon the lion tiger beast not far away and roared: Little Darling…
However at this time he could no longer make any sound. All his strength and all his spirit were completely exhausted and he directly fainted.
The lion tiger beast not far away rushed over almost without time for Suo Lun to ride on its back. It directly used its mouth to carry him and then galloped towards the great mountains in the south with all its strength.
…
Along this journey Suo Lun actually had many opportunities to counterattack.
Because mental power attack only required eye contact and along the way from Tian Ye City to the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains Tuling Duo had stared at him with full hatred countless times.
Each time Suo Lun let the demon star condense mental power to prepare for attack but in the end he gave up because the chance of success was too slim.
Tuling Duo was a swordswoman. Whether it was her mental talent or her mental power cultivation they were both very strong. Moreover she maintained a powerful mental defence at all times. Even a sudden mental attack could not succeed.
Mental power attack was Suo Luns only trump card and there was only one chance. Once he failed he would undoubtedly die.
The demon star had assessed many times. The probability of Suo Lun attack succeeding was less than five percent.
Although the demon star stored very astonishing mental power Suo Luns cultivation was insufficient so the mental power attack released in an instant was limited.
Suo Luns mental power cultivation far exceeded his martial power cultivation and had already reached the level of mid rank cultivator or above. But it was still unable to carry more instant mental power release. Otherwise before he could attack others his own brain would be completely destroyed.
He must wait and choose the best best opportunity for a fatal strike.
But a woman with such a strong mind like Tuling Duo simply did not give him any opportunity. Her spirit almost never relaxed. Even when sleeping she instinctively used mental power to guard within a hundred metres. Once there was any movement she would immediately awaken.
So along this journey of several thousand miles he did not find the opportunity to make a move.
It was not until the end when Tuling Duo finally wanted to kill him. Suo Lun used the deterrent of the gaze of death on Tuling Duo to cause her instant loss of focus.
However if Tuling Duo had pierced his heart or cut off his head then Suo Lun would undoubtedly die.
But along the way her torture of Suo Lun had vented most of the hatred in her heart.
So when Suo Lun requested an intact corpse she agreed and chose to strangle Suo Lun to death with the horsewhip. When Suo Lun chose to look into her eyes the proud and powerful Tuling Duo did not retreat at all and just stared back with her eyes.
She was indeed very strong because not everyone could face the gaze of a person on the verge of death. Some people might kill like hemp but they might not have the courage to meet the final gaze of the deceased.
But Tuling Duo still overestimated her own state of mind. When Suo Lun was gradually enveloped by death that kind of gaze still made Tuling Duo lose control of her mind.
Although it was only an instant it was already enough. The opportunity for a fatal strike finally arrived.
Seizing this instant the demon star condensed its remaining mental power and launched a desperate counterattack with a fatal strike.
All of this was almost planned in Suo Luns mind from the first moment he was caught by Tuling Duo.
From him provoking and angering Tuling Duo to make her continuously torture him gradually venting the anger in her heart to finally requesting an intact corpse so that Tuling Duo would strangle him to death with the horsewhip.
But this kind of plan that was almost gambling with his life was really three parts human calculation and seven parts heaven determined.
Because if the lion tiger beast Little Darling did not come to rescue at the end and if Suo Luns last sword did not kill Tuling Duo then he would undoubtedly die.
And if Tuling Duo was really born with an iron heart and remained unmoved even in the face of Suo Luns dying gaze then he would still undoubtedly die.
But this was also the best method Suo Lun could think of and the one with the highest success rate.
Fortunately everything happened according to plan. Along this journey Tuling Duo not only tortured Suo Lun but the whip often landed mercilessly on the lion tiger beast making it develop hatred and feel sympathy for Suo Lun as fellow sufferers.
Moreover in order to please this beast heart after each beating of the lion tiger beast Suo Lun would comfort it. When eating he would also secretly throw meat to it.
Finally Suo Luns efforts along this journey were rewarded at the last moment.
Now the only thing Suo Lun was uncertain about was whether his sword had killed Tuling Duo?
…
The lion tiger beast ran wildly all the way. After several hours it did not know how many hundreds of miles it had run and entered the depths of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. Only after entering the great mountains did it feel safe.
Then it felt tired and stopped in a cave. It placed Suo Lun on the ground and panted heavily.
Soon it felt starving but could not find food nearby.
Seeing Suo Lun still unconscious on the ground it could not help feeling a bit greedy. This… this is also meat. Why not eat him in one bite?
But… it had never eaten a human before. The female master had always warned it absolutely absolutely must not eat humans or bite humans.
Moreover this person had been quite good to it along the way. If it were not for him it would not have been able to escape from that female凶 person.
In the end although its mouth was watering the lion tiger beast still decided not to eat Suo Lun. It gathered its courage and walked out of the cave to hunt.
…
After an unknown amount of time Suo Lun woke up in pain. He felt his entire throat burning with intense pain. He reached out to touch it and his whole neck had already swollen red.
At this time the lion tiger beast was feasting beside him. Seeing Suo Lun wake up it directly threw over a large piece of meat.
Thank you Little Darling. Suo Lun could not eat at this time but he still used his hand to stroke the lion tiger beasts head.
Then he struggled to walk out of the cave to determine where he was.
Outside the cave seeing the scenery in the distance Suo Lun confirmed that this was the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains.
Suo Lun calculated his approximate position in his mind. It should be on the west side of the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains. If there was no mistake the Black Widow Meng Tuo Luos venomous snake tribe should be no more than five hundred miles away from him.
Moreover the venomous snake tribe was full of venomous snake totems everywhere so it should not be very difficult to find.
It was just that several months ago Meng Tuo Luo had moved the entire tribe but it should not have moved everything cleanly. There would always be one or two people left behind.
It was a pity that his whole body had been stripped clean so the venomous snake mask given to him by Meng Tuo Luo was also gone.
Suo Lun first found a water source drank several big mouthfuls and moistened his throat.
Then he found some coloured wild fruits and drew the mark of the venomous snake tribe on his forehead striving to prevent the people of the venomous snake tribe from chasing and killing him immediately upon seeing him.
After doing all this Suo Lun returned to the cave patted the lion tiger beast and said: Lets go. I will take you to a fun place.
Then he flipped onto the back of the lion tiger beast.
The lion tiger beast finished eating the last piece of meat in one bite and rushed out of the cave full of energy. Under Suo Luns command it ran towards the east along the great mountains.
…
Two days later Suo Lun finally found the venomous snake tribe.
However at this time it was already empty with not a single person in sight. The Black Widow Meng Tuo Luo had long taken the entire tribe over the Hundred Thousand Great Mountains and moved to the barbarian territory.
There was not even a single person left behind.
The red happy characters on the walls had all faded by now. These were left behind when he and Meng Tuo Luo held their wedding ceremony.
Walking into the original bridal chamber the bed was still there and even the quilt and mosquito net were still there. It was just that they were already covered in dust and worn out.
Time passed so quickly. The scene of holding the wedding ceremony with Meng Tuo Luo seemed like yesterday but it was already several months ago.
Suo Lun sat on the dusty bed and lay down comfortably.
Tonight he would rest here for one night. Tomorrow he would continue to look for Meng Tuo Luos whereabouts.
He must find Meng Tuo Luo first before he could go deep into the barbarian territory. Otherwise he would undoubtedly die.
Lying on the soft bed the surroundings were quiet. The lion tiger beast Little Darling was hungry again and ran out to hunt for food. It would come back by itself in a while.
Suo Lun closed his eyes and gradually fell asleep.
After sleeping for an unknown amount of time suddenly footsteps came from outside. Suo Lun instantly woke up in alarm.
Had the people of the venomous snake tribe returned? Suo Lun hid his whole body inside the quilt.
In the past I did not dare to kill people from the venomous snake tribe but now I specially kill people from the venomous snake tribe. Their heads are too valuable. A mans voice sounded: It seems that the Black Widow is not that scary. Hundreds of people from the venomous snake tribe have been killed and she has not been seen taking revenge.
Zhi Li and Zhi Ning have indeed made their move. Not only have they broken the myth of the Black Widow Meng Tuo Luo but they have also specially raised the price of the heads of the venomous snake tribe people. It seems that many of Meng Tuo Luos subjects have been killed in these few months.
What a pity. Most of the people from the venomous snake tribe have moved south. It is getting harder and harder to hunt them. Another man said: Today we ran empty again.
Lets go lets go. The wedding will start tomorrow night. If we are late the young master will be angry. Another man said.
What is he angry about? The first man said: He is about to marry a woman like a fairy. He will laugh even in his dreams.
Yes yes. She is really a woman like a goddess. That face that eyes that figure. I would be willing to sleep with her once even if it shortens my life by ten years. Meng Yi Yi. Just hearing the name is enchanting!
Meng Yi Yi?
Suo Lun was stunned when he heard this name and then his heart was filled with joy.
It was obvious that this Meng Yi Yi was the Black Widow Meng Tuo Luo. She had indeed made her move again. She was going to hold another wedding ceremony and then stage the drama of killing the groom.
This group of people quickly left.
…
Half an hour later the lion tiger beast returned from hunting.
Suo Lun rode the lion tiger beast down out of the great mountains came to the plains at the foot of the mountains and walked nearly a hundred miles. Sure enough he saw a castle.
At this time the castle was decorated with lanterns and colourful banners everywhere. There was music and drumming inside. It was obvious that a wedding was being held.
Black烈 Castle! Suo Lun looked up and saw the name of the castle and then thought about how to sneak in.
The bride quick look at the bride. She is really like a fairy! Suddenly someone pointed at the highest point of the castle.
Sure enough on the balcony at the top floor of the castle a graceful woman like a fairy stood against the wind. She was peerlessly beautiful graceful and moving.
Although her face had changed again Suo Lun still recognised at a glance that she was the Black Widow Meng Tuo Luo!
