Chapter 278 - Chapter 78 The Table Has Turned

Just as the poisoned martial artists were trying to figure out how they will escape from the old temple, they heard the sound of swords colliding in front of them. The martial artists looked beyond the gap of the broken wall and saw many martial artists fighting with the people of Seventy-two Islands.

Lee Kong Bai excitedly said, "If I remember correctly, they are people of Sword Village."

Yong Taihua opened his eyes and saw his juniors fighting against the people of Seventy-two Islands. The poisoned martial artists whispered among each others.

Yong Gui came in through the front door and swung his sword left and right. He stood up and shouted, "Taihua!"

Followed behind Yong Gui are Kuo Wenqian and some member of Jinfeng Sector. She called out, "Changchang! Ah Lok!"

Ten members of Sword Village rushed in, and all went straight to Yong Taihua, "Da shixiong."

Yong Taihua pointed to the three rooms on the far left, "Go over to the third house and save Caixia and Cao guniang."

Ten members of Sword Village rushed to the third house and many members of Seventy-two Islands rushed towards them. Yong Gui rushed towards Yong Taihua. With a wave of his sword, Yong Gui cut the chains that bound Yong Taihua's hands.

With a large blade flying over the wall, Zhang Wei aimed his sword directly at Yong Gui's back.

Yong Taihua shouted in fear, "Father, watch out!"

Yong Gui quickly turned around; Zhang Wei's blade swung directly at Yong Gui's head. Then a guzheng string flew straight towards Zhang Wei's blade, with great force, sliding Zhang Wei away from Yong Gui.

Ma Jingguo stood up and pulled Hong Lei out of the scabbard around his waist. He pointed Honglei at Zhang Wei and asked, "Did you kill Liu jiefu or was its Wang Biming?"

Zhang Wei glanced at Ma Jingguo and said, "I killed him, I cut off his head with my own blade." He smirked and looked at his blade. Then he pointed his blade at Ma Jingguo. "The next head is yours, Xin Taiyang."

Kuo Wenqian stood in front of the almost collapse wall and froze in place. She looked at Zhang Wei hatefully. She asked angrily, "Why did you cut off his head?" Why?" She pointed at Zhang Wei with her sword. "What hatred did my husband caused you?"

Zhang Wei said, "Liu furen, I have no grudges with Lui gongzi. I just simply following the order that was given me."

Kuo Wenqian shouted in anger, "I'm going to kill you and avenge my husband." Ma Jingguo grabbed Kuo Wenqian's hand. "Ah Chen! Let go of my hand."

Ma Jingguo said, "Wenqian shijie, you won't be able to defeat him." He lowered her hand down. "If you believe me, I will kill him and avenge Liu jiefu's death."

Kuo Wenqian murmured with trembling lips, "Ah Chen, cut off his head with his blade."

Ma Jingguo said, "Alright." He swung his sword at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei raised his blade to block Ma Jingguo's sword energy, and Zhang Wei slid back towards the other end. Wu On unsheathed his sword and came out and joined forces with Zhang Wei to fight Ma Jingguo. Ma Jingguo knew that between Wu On and Zhang Wei, Zhang Wei fighting effectiveness was much better than Wu On. Therefore, Ma Jingguo quickly focused his attack on Wu On and only avoided Zhang Wei's blows. Sure enough, when Wu On swung his sword at Ma Jingguo, Ma Jingguo quickly grabbed the sword with his left hand, and Ma Jingguo hit Wu On's chest with the hilt of Honglei, causing Wu On to slam onto one of the old broken house walls. Wu On crawled out of the house vomiting blood and suffered serious internal injuries.

With Wu On out of Ma Jingguo's way, his attention now was only to attack Zhang Wei. Zhang Wei won't go down easily because he is one of the grandmasters who has great fighting skill. Zhang Wei rushed forward and swung his blade at Ma Jingguo. Ma Jingguo quickly blocked Zhang Wei's blade. The light and flexible Honglei's endurance was not as good as Zhang Wei's blade. Ma Jingguo flashed the guzheng strings at Zhang Wei, and Zhang Wei quickly stepped back, avoiding the guzheng string before the guzheng string hit him.

Ma Jingguo looked down at his trembling hand that was still holding Honglei tightly. It seemed that Honglei had suffered some injures. The edge of Honglei had many cracks. Ma Jingguo was afraid that if he continued to use Honglei, Mu Dishi's sword would be broken, so he sheathed Honglei back into his waistband. He noticed that Zhang Wei slowed down when he swung his blade at Ma Jingguo, so if Ma Jingguo and Zhang Wei faced each other head-on, he might not win the match easily and quickly. He decided to use his lightness skills to deal with the slower Zhang Wei. He drew the knife from the sheath on the left side of the belt and pointed his small knife at Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei smiled when he saw Ma Jingguo's knife. He asked confidently, "Do you think your knife can withstand my blade?"

Ma Jingguo smiled and said, "She has never let me down, and this time is no exception."

Zhang Wei pounced on Ma Jingguo, and Ma Jingguo quickly passed Zhang Wei's large blade. Ma Jingguo quickly dropped down on the ground and rolled behind Zhang Wei. Ma Jingguo quickly cut off Zhang Wei's two Achilles tendons. When Ma Jingguo submerges on the other side of Zhang Wei, he jumped and pierced the knife into Zhang Wei's right wrist. Ma Jingguo's right hand quickly grabbed the handle of the blade's hilt from Zhang Wei's right hand. Ma Jingguo's left hand drew the knife from Zhang Wei's wrist and slashed the knife through Zhang Wei's throat. Zhang Wei fell to his knees, holding his bleeding neck with both of his hands.

Ma Jingguo handed the blade to Kuo Wenqian. He said, "Wenqian shijie, you should do the honor."

Kuo Wenqian took the blade from Ma Jingguo and rushed towards Zhang Wei. She kicked Zhang Wei's chest hard and her kicked slam Zhang Wei into the wall. She ran forward and swung Zhang Wei's blade directly at Zhang Wei's neck. The sharp blade separated Zhang Wei's head from his body.

Kuo Wenqian cried, "Lao gong, I killed him to avenge you, you can rest in peace now."

Ma Jingguo walked slowly towards the seriously injured Wu On. He grabbed Wu On's neck and lifted Wu On off the ground. He gnashed his teeth, "Where is Wang Biming?"

Wu On said, "He took Mu Dishi and went up Sunset Mountain."

Ma Jingguo snapped Wu On's neck and threw Wu On's body on the ground. He walked towards the front door.

Yong Taihua shouted, "Ma Jingguo, you have to save shizun." He watched Ma Jingguo slowly disappear outside the door of the old temple.
