There were quite a few people in the room, all gathered around a long pearwood table in the very middle of the room.
“Stoned to death, how is this possible?”
“Unbelievable, I can’t figure it out, with Feng Liang’s strength, he died like that? Or was he smashed to death by a stone?”
“This is too funny, I can’t even figure out what’s going on here.”
“It’s almost like child’s play.”
The crowd was talking, but only Jiang Yufeng didn’t say a word as he picked up a stone on the table that still had blood on it and held it in his hand to examine it carefully.
“Is this the stone?” He frowned, a little in disbelief.
Because it was a very ordinary stone, ordinary like the stones found everywhere on the sides of the street, and no more than the size of a fist.
The fact that the number one expert of the Dragon Tiger Ranking had bizarrely died under such an ordinary stone even had a bit of black humour about it.
“I think so, I found this stone next to Young Feng.” Xiao Li said.
“Oh my god, just this stone, just smashed Feng Liang to death? No way?”
“At first when Little Li said the stone, I thought Little Li was making it up, but to my surprise, it really was a stone!”
“Such a stone, not to mention Feng Liang, even if an ordinary person was smashed, he might not die, right? It’s too bizarre.”
“But then again, even if Feng Liang had this stone by his side, that doesn’t necessarily mean that he was smashed to death by a stone.”
The crowd said with another murmur.
Jiang Yufeng didn’t say anything as he stared intently at Feng Liang’s remains on the table in front of him.
Suddenly, he lifted the piece of cloth that was covering Feng Liang’s head.
At once, the crowd couldn’t help but cry out in shock.
“Crap!”
“Too, too horrible!”
“This, this is real?”
The crowd looked at Feng Liang’s remains on the table with wide eyes, and there were some people who couldn’t help themselves and had already turned their heads away.
Jiang Yufeng was still a little more composed, but even so, he couldn’t help but be shocked inside.
Feng Liang’s head had been smashed in a large chunk, which looked shocking to the eye. Obviously, it had indeed been smashed, only that no one could still figure out exactly how.
“Guo, it’s true that he was stoned to death, just how did he get stoned?”
“Maybe it was an enemy? I know that Feng Liang is extremely ruthless in the fighting arena, and anyone who fights with him is either dead or maimed. Although he has seen God and killed God along the way, he has offended many people, and since he is new to Neon City, his roots are too shallow, it is only natural that someone would want to deal with him.”
“That’s true, but with Feng Liang’s strength, even if his enemies wanted to kill him, it would be extremely difficult, how could a stone kill him?”
“Yes, I’ve seen Feng Liang fight, he’s really extremely strong, his reaction speed is extremely fast, I think, bullets may not even be able to touch him, now he was killed by a stone, it’s really strange.”
“That’s right, with his reflexes, even if it was a sneak attack, using such a big stone, it would never have worked.”
“Then what the hell is going on? Now Feng Liang was clearly stoned to death, so could it be that some kid in the neighbourhood threw a stone down from the upper floors and it hit Feng Liang right on the head?”
“That’s unlikely. Even if a stone was thrown from a fifty-storey building, Feng Liang would have been able to avoid it at such a speed.”
“And look guys, his head was smashed and deformed so much, obviously the speed of the stone at the time was extremely fast, I think that it might only be the speed of a meteorite that would have smashed to this extent.”
“Mr Jiang, what do you think?”
The crowd all gazed, again in unison, at Jiang Yufeng.
After all, Feng Liang was a guest of Jiang Yufeng’s family, and was supposed to meet with Jiang Yi and get engaged if it was suitable, and now this suddenly happened, it was a bit ……
“This matter is really bizarre, according to reason, with Feng Liang’s strength, whether intentionally or unintentionally, a mere stone could not possibly hurt him, but now, not only is he dead, but his body is also so badly injured, no matter what, we have to find out the cause of death.”
Speaking here, Jiang Yufeng pondered for a moment and said, “It seems that we can’t see anything at the moment, so I’m afraid that the only way to find out is to look for the Sword Immortal.”
“The Sword Immortal has seen a lot of things, so it seems that’s the only way to go.”
All of them nodded and agreed with Jiang Yufeng’s words.
With that said, several people carried Feng Liang’s remains and headed out of the house.
The Jiang family was very large, very several courtyards, and the people carried it all the way, and finally, came to a very isolated courtyard.
This courtyard, in a rather elegant setting, was all bamboo groves.
Next to the bamboo forest, there was a straw hut.
Hearing the sound of voices outside the house, inside the straw hut, an old man with white hair came out.
The old man’s face was covered with wrinkles and he looked thin and dry.
Obviously, this age, at least, was already over eighty years old.
However, he still looked quite hale and hearty, and there were a few moments of brilliance in his gaze.
“This is the Sword Immortal?”
Lu Yuan, at this moment, was also led by Jiang Yi and followed the crowd to this place.
Seeing this old man, Lu Yuan was a little bit curious.
“Shut up!” Jiang Yi scolded Lu Yuan nonchalantly, “Remember, you are my slave, if you speak casually again, I will cut your tongue out!”
To Lu Yuan, Jiang Yi was very upset in her heart.
Just now, she thought Feng Liang had come, so she jumped into Lu Yuan’s arms, trying to create the appearance of being molested by Lu Yuan.
As a result, who would have thought that it was Xiao Li who came and Feng Liang was still dead.
Jiang Yi was really speechless, she had been hugged by Lu Yuan once for nothing, of course she was not happy about it.
But as for Feng Liang’s death, Jiang Yi didn’t feel too much, after all, she didn’t have too many encounters with Feng Liang either, and to put it mildly, today was the first time she intended to formally meet him.
At this point, Jiang Yufeng had briefly told the Sword Immortal about the situation.
The Sword Immortal nodded his head and carefully examined Feng Liang.
He looked very carefully, taking a look at Feng Liang’s wounds one moment and the stone the next.
The crowd was quiet at this point, waiting without speaking.
Everyone’s attention, was focused on the Sword Immortal.
“The cause of his death was, indeed, this stone. Also, he only received one blow.” Finally, the Sword Immortal lifted his head.
When the crowd heard this, they were all aghast.
Surprisingly, it was really this stone that was the cause!
Moreover, he died after only taking a single blow, which meant that the other party had only used one move!
“But, what on earth was it that killed the number one expert of the Dragon and Tiger Ranking with a stone? And, within one move.” The crowd couldn’t help but be, and their hearts were appalled.
“This ……” The Sword Immortal also hesitated, apparently this was a question that was not even easy for him to answer.
“A stone, in one move, killed Feng Liang, in this world, there are such experts?” Jiang Yufeng found it incredible.
“Mr. Jiang, I’m afraid the other party is even more powerful than you think.” The Sword Fairy added, “Because judging from Feng Liang’s remains, he didn’t take any resistance measures.”
“Ah, what do you mean, Sword Fairy?”
“Feng Liang he should have been completely unaware of his opponent’s attack and was killed in one blow straight away, and I’m afraid that he, himself, didn’t even know the cause of his death!”
“What!”
When the crowd heard this, they were even more shocked beyond words in their hearts.
A number one expert of the Dragon Tiger Ranking was killed in just one move, moreover, he didn’t even notice the other party’s attack, how powerful must the other party be!
“Could it be that in this world ……” Jiang Yufeng muttered.
The Sword Fairy, however, shook his head, “With all my years of experience, I’m afraid that in this world, there can’t be such a powerful expert, there’s only one candidate in my mind.”
“Ah, who is it?”
“My master.” When the Sword Fairy said this, a deep respect, along with an indefinable devotion and trepidation, was abruptly born in his gaze, “No, no, to be precise, it’s my master, because, as he said, he was only casually instructing me in a move, not really teaching me. So, I don’t have to call him Master, but, in my heart, I have immense gratitude and respect for him, maybe I don’t deserve to be his disciple, so I’ll consider myself as his disciple’s grandson, after all, he taught me all my sword skills.”
“Huh?”
The Master of the Sword Fairy!
What a person that had to be!
And to teach a disciple as powerful as the Sword Immortal after only a casual instruction, how powerful must that Sword Immortal’s master ancestor be!
“Only, back when I met him, I was only ten years old that year, he was already in his thirties, if he lived until now, I’m afraid he would be over a hundred years old, which, is unlikely, the master ancestor should have passed away long ago.” The Sword Fairy looked a little sad as he spoke.
