369 The Death of the Right Protector

Everything happened in a blink of an eye, so much so that no one could react in time. Fresh blood spurted out in the hall.

What shocked them even more was that the purple-robed middle-aged man rose from the ground and formed a seal in front of his chest.

Buzzzzzz!

The left protector’s sword unsheathed on its own and instantly hung in front of the left protector. A cold light shone from it, and a dazzling light burst forth. It then stabbed out at the right protector.

Countless sword energies instantly filled the entire roof of Floating Jade Palace and rapidly descended!

The right protector had suddenly awoken and wounded the left protector by surprise, but it had been an unintentional move. She had only wanted to break free of the left protector’s hand and force him to retreat.

For some reason, the left protector did not dodge.

This result made the right protector, who had just brandished her sword, feel regret. She looked at the left protector, whose chest was covered in blood, and hesitated to speak.

She had not expected the left protector to strike back without the slightest hesitation.

Before she could react, a dazzling sword fell from the sky and instantly pierced her chest.

Countless drops of blood, like clear water, flew out along with the sword that had pierced through the right protector and splattered all over the hall.

“You!” the right protector’s eyes went wide as she stared in disbelief at the left protector floating in the air.

The words were at the tip of her tongue, but in the end, she didn’t say them out. She fell to the ground with a bang, her breath dissipated.

She was killed in one strike!

Wang Meng’s eyes were wide open as he looked at the fallen right protector in disbelief, speechless.

It wasn’t just Wang Meng. Even the leopard clan’s Beast King, Lin Mu, and the others were completely stunned the moment the right protector fell to the ground.

It had happened in such a dramatic way.

First, the right protector had attacked and injured the left protector. Then, the left protector had counterattacked and killed the right protector.

It happened so quickly that no one had time to react.

The left protector was injured, while the right protector was dead.

Dark red blood slowly flowed across Floating Jade Hall.

It pierced through the right protector’s sword and returned to the scabbard on the left protector’s back.

The left protector’s expression changed the moment the sword returned to its sheath.

Fresh blood spurted out of the left protector’s mouth.

His face turned even paler, and he fell from mid-air to the ground.

“Left protector!”

Just as everyone was in a daze, the bear clan’s King, Xiong Tian, suddenly let out a cry of surprise. His burly body ran towards the left protector, and he knelt on one knee to help the left protector up.

“My Lord, Left Protector,” the leopard clan leader also recovered from his shock. He lowered his head and looked at the right protector who had fallen in front of him, exclaiming in disbelief.

Lin Mu, who had a dazed look in his eyes, knelt on the ground and picked up the right protector’s body with his hands. Tears streamed down his old face as he let out a sorrowful cry.

“What did I just see? The left protector killed the right protector?”

“Didn’t you see that it was the right protector who made the first move?”

“The right protector has always been arrogant and has a fiery temper. How dare she be so presumptuous in the main hall and even injure the left protector? She deserves to die!”

“But, no matter what, the right protector is still the King’s daughter!”

“The right protector is not the King’s biological daughter. It is said the right protector tried to assassinate the King!”

The discussion in the hall started again. Everyone was shocked by this sudden change.

Regardless of whether they supported the left protector or defended the right protector against injustice, they could only discuss and only dare to discuss.

“Shut up!” Wang Meng came back to his senses, he was furious when he heard the discussion about Floating Jade Island from ten thousand years ago.

Although the human race was weak on Floating Jade Island, their cultivation was not inferior at all.

Wang Meng, the leader of the itinerant cultivators of Floating Jade Island, had broken through to the mortal realm for almost sixty years.

The strength he displayed was enough to make everyone fear him.

The patriarchs of the various clans turned around one after another, signaling for their clansmen to keep quiet. The hall that had just been filled with discussions immediately quieted down.

When the hall was quiet again, Wang Meng turned around and looked down at the dead right protector. His right hand reached behind him and clenched the hilt of his sword. He looked at the left protector with cold eyes.

“Left Protector, why did you kill the Right Protector?” at this moment, a cold question suddenly rang out in the hall.

His cold voice reverberated throughout the hall.

The leopard clan elder, who was holding the right protector’s body, placed it on the ground and turned to stand up. His aged face, which was covered in tears, was filled with anger.

He stared at the left protector who was being helped up.

“Left Protector, why did you kill the Right Protector?” The same question came from Lin Mu’s mouth.

“Lin Mu, what do you mean? Didn’t you see that it was the Right Protector who made the first move?” Without waiting for the left protector’s reply, Xiong Tian, who was supporting the left protector, took the lead and spoke in a loud voice.

“The Right Protector was wrong in the first place, but she didn’t do it on purpose. Otherwise, do you think the Left Protector would still have the power to fight back?” Lin Mu sneered.

The right protector’s temper had flared up, and she had drawn her sword in an attempt to break free from the left protector.

However, in the instant that she attacked, she realized the left protector did not dodge. Thus, although the sword projection was sharp, it did not contain spiritual energy, so it did not possess much destructive power.

Even if the left protector was stronger than the right protector, facing those sword attacks, even if she didn’t die, she would still be heavily injured. How could she have the power to fight back?

It was impossible for the left protector not to realize the sword that struck his chest had not actually caused any harm.

But the left protector completely ignored this and ruthlessly killed the right protector.

This was really puzzling.

This was also the reason why Wang Meng, who had a different opinion from the right protector, had locked his eyes on the left protector and held his sword vigilantly when he saw the right protector’s death.

Not only did the left protector ignore that point, but Xiong Tian also began to defend the left protector for some reason.

“That’s nonsense! Do you think the right protector can kill the left protector just because of her profound cultivation?” Xiong Tian continued to explain.

“Even so, why would the left protector kill the regretful right protector?” Lin Mu laughed in anger and changed the topic.

“What a big joke! The right protector is arrogant and despotic and is famous throughout the entire Floating Jade Island. If she wants to kill the left protector, can’t the left protector fight back and protect himself?” Xiong Tian replied.

“Even if it was a counterattack, did he need to use his strongest sword intent to kill?” Wang Meng said in a cold voice. He was still staring at the left protector. His right hand, which was tightly gripping the hilt of his sword, had already slowly pulled out a three-foot-long sword.

“What do you mean by that?” Xiong Tian was not afraid of Lin Mu, but he was wary of Wang Meng. When he saw Wang Meng pulling out his sword, he was a little flustered.

“I just want an explanation!” Wang Meng had already completely drawn his sword and pointed it at the left protector.

Almost at the same time that Wang Meng pointed at the left protector, the bear clan members in the Jade Hall unsheathed their respective weapons and pointed them at Wang Meng.

The human cultivators in the hall also pulled out their weapons and directed their spiritual energy at the bear beast cultivators.

“You guys are the bold ones!” the rogue cultivator who had entered the mortal stage shouted loudly.

“Put down your weapons. Are you guys trying to rebel?”

“You humans are sinister and vicious. I’m afraid you’ve long wanted to seize the Floating Jade Island, aren’t you? ”

“I think you’re the one who’s talking nonsense. You silly bears, I’ve long wanted to kill you!”

The scolding began, but no one made the first move.
