“A spirit weapon!” Wanfengs expression changed drastically when she saw the longsword and she backed up, shielding Lu Yun behind her.

“Hehehe, girl, after I kill Lu Yun, Ill travel the world with you by my side. Well be a match made in heaven. Lu Yun killed my only granddaughter, so youll bear a hundred… no, a thousand children for me!” Ge Long cackled loudly and sprang forward with a thrust of his sword, aiming straight at Lu Yuns throat.

Hes so fast! A chill gripped Lu Yuns heart as the shadow of death enveloped him. Bizarrely, he was abnormally calm as hed already experienced death before. So, faced with the same circumstance once more, he could look at it in the eyes with leisure.

The thought occurred to him to move back, but he discovered, to his shock, that his body was simply too weak. He was even weaker than an ordinary mortal.

Lu Yuns brain had made the right call between fight and flight, but his body couldn't react to the command to dodge.

“Am I going to die again” he murmured to himself. The approaching footsteps of death was a familiar feeling.

“Hoi!” Wanfeng huffed in anger. A beam of jade-green light shot from her fingers to where she pointed.

Clang.

The light connected squarely with the longsword, deflecting it from its trajectory.

Ge Long felt an enormous strength travel back up his sword and stumbled back, then fell to the side. Wanfeng wasn't much better off, either. Color drained from her face as she rapidly pulled back from the force.

“Combat arts! Youre in the core realm!” Fear flashed across the stewards face.

“Wanfeng, kill him!” Lu Yun panted heavily, his chest heaving like a blacksmiths bellows. His voice was a bit hoarse.

“I, I, I dont dare.” Wanfeng stood blankly where she was. Kill someone

When had she ever killed someone

Though she and Lu Yun terrorized the streets, that was just bullying. Shed never killed anyone.

“Hoho, so youre just a fledgling!” Ge Longs eyes gleamed and he bounded up from the ground, reaching Wanfeng with one leap.

“Dont come any closer!” Panicking, Wanfeng pointed again and shot out a small ray of jade-green light.

The steward saw it clearly this time. It was a minuscule tornado.

“A low level combat arts skill that youve just practiced Though youve entered the core realm and formed a golden core, your battle experience is nonexistent!” Ge Long deftly shuffled past Wanfengs attack and circled around behind her, bringing the edge of his hand down on the back of her neck.

The girls eyes rolled up and she fainted dead away.

“Your Excellency, this is what youre counting on Its your turn now.” Leering, Ge Long stalked menacingly toward his prey. “Die!”

The swing of a longsword at Lu Yuns neck accompanied Ge Longs shout.

Am I going to die again 

At this moment, Lu Yun suddenly felt something wanting to charge out of his body. He subconsciously raised his hands and reached out, his palms facing each other.

Hum.

A black light blossomed between his hands. Nine dragons bearing a pitch-black coffin materialized between his hands and slammed viciously at Ge Longs chest.

“A combat art!” The steward screamed, ghastly fear and incomprehension resonating within his tone.

Wasnt Lu Yun unable to cultivate Why would he be able to deploy a combat art The one he was using was more than ten times stronger than the little tornado Wanfeng had just sent out!

The sound of breaking bones rang out from Ge Longs chest and he flew out a dozen meters to crash harrowingly onto the ground. Bloody froth bubbled from his mouth as his body twitched and spasmed. He didnt seem long for this world.

“Huh” Lu Yun froze as he looked at the image that had rushed from his hands. “Oh, right! The feng shui that materialized last night charged into my body. Was Ge Long calling it a combat art just now”

Bewilderment filled his face as all of the strength drained from his body, leaving him spent and limp.

“So… the dragons became my combat art when they blasted into my body But Im not a cultivator. Whats going on here” Things were getting more confusing by the minute.

“Milord” Wanfeng slowly came to after an indeterminate period of time. She cried out loudly when she saw Lu Yun sagged on the ground, Ge Long laid out on the opposite side.

“Milord, are you alright! Its all because Wanfeng was useless and couldnt kill someone!” She helped Lu Yun up, her eyes red.

“Take that sword and cut Ge Longs head off.” Lu Yun sucked in a few breaths to recover some energy.

He was a tomb raider, not a saint. Hed done his fair share of permanently silencing people. He killed because dead men tell no tales, so it had to be done thoroughly. A few extra strokes had to be stabbed into the others vitals, even when they were dead, to ensure that there was no chance of anything going wrong.

“Eh” Wanfeng locked into place, not sure of what to do with herself.

“Ai, you can go,” Lu Yun sighed when he saw the maids expression.

“Eh” repeated the girl, turning a lost look at her master.

“My old self offended too many people. My future is destined to be full of dangers. You cant bring yourself to kill someone or stab a corpse, so youre not suited to stay by my side. Ill be the death of you one day,” Lu Yun laid out slowly.

Wanfeng was at a loss after hearing her masters words. As the cogs of her mind turned, she abruptly picked up Ge Longs sword and walked over to his body.

“Cutting off his head means I can stay by milords side!” The girl grit her teeth and slashed at Ge Longs neck.

“How did you know I was faking death!” The stewards corpse suddenly leapt up and gathered his strength, punching out explosively at Wanfengs chest.

“Youre not dead!” Wanfeng screamed, then tensed her jaw and deployed her combat art. The longsword reverberated with a crisp note.

Thrum.

An indistinct sword light shot from the weapon and pierced through Ge Longs forehead.

“Spirit weapon… only a core realm expert could…” He fell to the ground, truly dead this time.

Wanfeng drew the sword back for another stroke and chopped his head off. She turned back to look at Lu Yun.

“He wouldve killed me if you hadnt killed him. Hed also make you bear his children, so he had to die,” explained Lu Yun softly. “If we want to live, we have to condemn all those who want us to die. Such is our world. 

“Someone elses life means our death.”

The naked truths voiced by Lu Yun injected themselves harshly into Wanfengs heart, like poison. If we want to live, we have to take out those who want to kill us.

“Understood!” She nodded firmly.

“Come, lets visit the tomb.” With Lu Yuns current body condition, he couldnt handle excavating the tomb on his own, and had to bring Wanfeng with him.

All alone in the world of immortals after his rebirth, the only person he could count on other than himself was this innocent little girl.

……

Lu Yun and Wanfengs figures slowly faded in the distance. The reborn governor had first considered the immortal world through rose-colored glasses and thought it a paradise. Ge Long had swiftly educated him otherwise.

This too, was a cruel world.

“Wheres my head Oh, here it is.”

Ge Longs headless body suddenly sat up and his hand probed the ground around him. When he found his head, he placed it back on his neck.

A large hole marked the center of his forehead, one blasted through from front to back that revealed the mess of white matter inside. His eyes vacant, an eerie smile graced his lips.

Ge Long rose, and, swaying from side to side, stumbled in the direction Lu Yun and Wanfeng had departed in.-
