Chapter 60: Unexpected Turn of Events

"Are you alright?" Wan Xiuying, who had narrowly escaped death, was filled with gratitude towards Chu Jianqiu. Seeing him fall, she was startled and crawled over to ask.

She had been severely injured by the blood python's powerful tail strike and could not even stand up at this moment.

Chu Jianqiu shook his head with a pale face and said, "I'm fine, just a bit exhausted!"

Recalling the battle just now, Chu Jianqiu could not help but feel a bit of lingering fear. The strength of this blood python was a bit beyond his expectations, and its remaining power was not just at the peak of the True Qi Realm Seventh Level, but rather close to the True Qi Realm Eighth Level.

To defeat this blood python, he had almost used all his trump cards. The Profound Rank combat technique Seven Surging Waves Palm, the Golden Shield Talisman, the Strength Enhancement Talisman, the Flash Escape Talisman, and the Second Rank Superior Treasure Flowing Shadow Sword given to him by his master Cui Yayun.

Although the cost was not small, he finally managed to kill this blood python that had caused havoc.

Wan Xiuying, seeing that Chu Jianqiu was only pale and not seriously injured, felt relieved. She took out healing pills and slowly sat on the ground to meditate.

However, what she did not know was that Chu Jianqiu was not without serious injuries. It was his Supreme Martial Body's powerful healing ability that had already healed most of his surface wounds.

Apart from Wan Xiuying being severely injured by the blood python's strike, the others were also not lightly injured.

One disciple from the Xuan Yun Society and one from the Purple Mist Society died from the blood python's strike. Ximen Yiliu had several broken ribs and could hardly crawl. Another disciple from the Purple Mist Society was injured to a similar extent as Ximen Yiliu.

Si Fengkai was impaled on a tree branch, which tore off one of his arms.

Among those present, only Han Anyi was slightly less injured.

When the blood python attacked, Han Anyi quickly hid behind the others, which made him only suffer from the aftermath of the attack. Most of the blood python's force was blocked by the people in front of him.

Moreover, his cultivation was the highest among them, so he only suffered some superficial injuries. Compared to the others, his injuries were worlds apart.

Han Anyi slowly stood up, walked to Chu Jianqiu, and a cold smile appeared at the corner of his mouth as he gripped the hilt of the Qiongguang Sword in his hand.

"Han Anyi, what do you want to do?" Wan Xiuying was startled by Han Anyi's actions.

"What do I want to do? Naturally, to kill him!" Han Anyi drew his sword and pointed it at Chu Jianqiu.

He did not draw his sword when facing the blood python's attack, but now, against the defenseless Chu Jianqiu, he drew his sword.

"Chu Jianqiu, didn't you expect it? You will ultimately die at my hands. From the first day I saw you, I have been looking forward to this day, and today, it has finally come."

"Having the nerve to compete with me, Han Anyi, for a woman, you must be prepared to die. Left Qiu Lianzhu, whom even I, Han Anyi, cannot get close to, why should a waste like you be able to hold her hand!" Han Anyi said with red eyes, in a mad frenzy.

Chu Jianqiu, looking at the mad Han Anyi, felt utterly bewildered.

"Are you sick? What does it have to do with you if I hold her hand? If you have the ability, go and hold her hand yourself. Besides, it wasn't me who held her hand, but she who held mine." No matter how much Chu Jianqiu thought, he could not understand why Han Anyi would bear a grudge over this matter.

"You are asking for death!" Han Anyi was instantly enraged.

"In the sect, with Left Qiu Lianzhu protecting you, I dare not do anything to you, but now, I want to see who can stop me from killing you." Han Anyi said coldly.

"Han Anyi, are you mad? Killing a fellow disciple, you will still not escape death." Wan Xiuying shouted angrily.

"Ha ha ha, no one will know that I killed him, because you all died at the hands of the blood python, dying heroically for the people. And I, who killed the blood python, will have avenged you and earned great merit for the Xuanjian Sect." Han Anyi laughed loudly.

"You dare!" Wan Xiuying was both shocked and angry, never expecting that they would not die at the hands of the blood python but at the hands of this treacherous person.

"Han Anyi, you are even going to kill us!" Ximen Yiliu, hearing Han Anyi's words, ignored his severe injuries and said in panic.

"Don't kill me, I promise I won't say anything." Ximen Yiliu pleaded.

"I, Han Anyi, do not trust the living; only the dead can keep secrets." Han Anyi said coldly.

"Han Anyi, may you die a miserable death, and even as a ghost, I will not let you off!" Ximen Yiliu, hearing this, immediately went mad and started cursing.

"Han Anyi, my brother is one of the top ten disciples in the inner sect. If you dare to kill me, he will definitely kill you to avenge me!" Si Fengkai, ignoring the pain of his severed arm, hurriedly shouted.

"You arrogant fool, always showing off in front of me, I have long been annoyed by you. Don't worry, considering our time together these past few days, I will give you a quick death." Han Anyi sneered.

"It seems you really think you have us in the bag!" Chu Jianqiu said calmly.

"Stop pretending, I know you are already exhausted from the battle. Now, even a Body Refinement Realm waste could kill you." Han Anyi shouted.

Chu Jianqiu's calmness made him feel a bit nervous. When facing the blood python, he had also been like this.

At that time, no one believed that a mere True Qi Realm First Level could defeat such a powerful blood python, but in the end, the blood python died at his hands.

"Since you are so sure I am exhausted, why are you so nervous!" Chu Jianqiu smiled.

"Nonsense, who said I am nervous!" Han Anyi argued.

"If you are not nervous, why is your hand shaking!" Chu Jianqiu looked at his slightly trembling sword hand and smiled.

"Talking nonsense at the brink of death, give me your life!" Han Anyi shouted and swung his sword at Chu Jianqiu. Chu Jianqiu's behavior made him very uneasy, and he wanted to kill him as soon as possible to avoid any unforeseen circumstances.

But before his sword could reach Chu Jianqiu, a cold light flashed over his head, and his head flew off his neck. The sword thrust would never reach Chu Jianqiu.

The sudden turn of events shocked everyone, and they did not know what had happened.

But when Han Anyi's headless body fell, they saw a girl standing behind him, holding a blood-dripping sword. It was Fu Lingxue, who had not shown herself until now.

Everyone was greatly shocked. When did Fu Lingxue have such swift and mysterious movements, appearing silently behind Han Anyi without anyone noticing?
