Iron Swallow Chapter 61

NIC

**Translation:**

No...

it's not Miss Thiat-yan.

She should have the surname Cu...

so her name is Cu Yan.

Cu Siau-thian laughed coldly and said, "Tu Liong, Wie Kie-hong, you are truly two little children who do not know your place.

I have repeatedly tried to forbid you from interfering in this matter, but you never listened. Now, why don't you close your eyes and die peacefully?" This is your last chance to comply with my request."

Tu Liong pleaded with Cu Siau-thian in a pitiful voice, "Cu Taiya, back then you already killed Wie Kie-hong's biological father; how can you still bear to kill him again?" Let Kie-hong go, I am willing to die for him.

If I die, everything will be fine.

Consider this as a way to repay all my debts."

"HUH! If you don't eradicate the weeds at their roots, they will surely sprout again in the spring."

In a moment of inattention, Wie Kie-hong suddenly took out a small knife he had hidden.

He immediately threw this knife at Cu Siau-thian.

The knife flew like an arrow released from a bow.

No one except Wie Kie-hong anticipated the knife coming.

But the knife did not hit its target.

"TRAAANGG" Suddenly, the sound of metal clashing with metal was heard.

Boh Tan-ping's sawtooth sword had deflected the knife just before it reached Cu Siau-thian.

No one knew when or from where he had entered, but the fact was he was there with them.

The situation was very disadvantageous; if they had to fight now, it would be four against two.

"Kie-hong, hurry, run!" Tu Liong suddenly screamed.

"No...." Wie Kie-hong replied with a heart-wrenching voice, "Tu toako, let's die together.

Let these evil people see our deaths and regret their actions."

"Hahahahahaha..." Cu Siau-thian laughed loudly like a madman.

Amidst his booming laughter, suddenly a woman's gentle voice was heard, "Omitohud."

"Who is there?" Cu Siau-thian immediately asked.

A woman dressed in white with a bald head entered the room; she was very young, but her eyes shone brightly like blazing fire.

It seemed everyone except Tu Liong and the white-browed killer looked at the nun with confused gazes.

Tu Liong briefly introduced himself: "She is the true daughter of Tiat Liong-san, named Thiat-yan.

She told me that since childhood, she was interested in Buddhist teachings and loved her father, Tiat Liong-san, very much.

When her father was harmed, she received a severe emotional blow.

However, she also realized that the incident could be viewed from another perspective.

It was an opportunity for her to achieve what she wanted.

Finally, she decided to go to the temple and become a nun for the rest of her life."

Apparently, everyone was listening to her story earnestly.

The nun just bowed deeply in greeting.

Now everything was over.

All the cards were on the table, and everyone had gathered in the room where everyone was killed.

The four people, Cu Siau-thian, fake Thiat-yan, Boh Tan-ping, and the white-browed killer, stood side by side and stared at Tu Liong, Wie Kie-hong, and the nun who stood opposite them.

All that remained was the final battle.

Wie Kie-hong stared at the white-browed killer with sharp eyes.

He harbored a great grudge against him.

He had deceived him all this time, and he was the one who killed his biological father, Wie Ceng.

Now he had to avenge and reclaim his sacred sword.

Tu Liong also gazed sharply at Boh Tan-ping.

Boh Tan-ping seemed to avoid his gaze.

His right shoulder still felt sore.

The flesh that had been detached could not be easily reattached.

But still, it could heal eventually.

However, the irritation in his heart would not disappear if it wasn't vented.

Tu Liong didn't really want to kill him.

He hoped Boh Tan-ping could change his life path and do good in the future.

The bald nun, dressed in all white, only stared at the floor.

She didn't look into anyone's eyes.

On the contrary, the fake Thiat-yan glared at her sharply.

She didn't like this nun appearing in the middle of the event and revealing her true identity.

She knew that attacking a nun was a sin, but she ignored it.

She knew a nun was also human, and this particular human was the one she was impersonating.

They had all chosen their opponents even before they entered the room for the final battle.

It seemed everything was arranged by fate.

Cu Siau-thian looked left and right, realizing that his three subordinates would fight against the three young people who were once close to him.

He only laughed coldly.

His laughter was very long and unending.

For now, he had no one to fight.

As Cu Siau-thian's laughter echoed, everyone prepared to face their respective opponents.

The atmosphere became tense.

Cu Siau-thian's laughter served as the signal for the start of the final battle.

After Cu Siau-thian's laughter stopped, the final battle began.

0-0-0

The bald nun was still staring at the floor when Cu Siau-thian's laughter stopped.

Meanwhile, the fake Thiat-yan had already dashed toward her with a high-pitched scream typical of a woman, a sharp little knife already drawn in front.

Suddenly, the nun closed her eyes and raised her head.

She uttered "Omitohud" and suddenly opened her eyes.

Her eyes shone brightly.

These eyes stared sharply into the fake Thiat-yan's eyes.

The nun had been sworn to leave worldly life and train herself.

It seemed this nun had trained well.

She possessed the inner strength to deceive opponents who looked into her eyes.

After the fake Thiat-yan looked into her eyes, she seemed like a confused person.

She stopped and looked around; the nun didn't waste time.

After the fake Thiat-yan was hypnotized, she bowed her head, looked at the floor, and walked toward Cu Siau-thian.

At first, Cu Siau-thian seemed confused by his daughter's behavior, and now he seemed to begin trembling with fear.

After the nun reached him, she closed her eyes again and lifted her face to Cu Siau-thian.

Again, she said "Omitohud" and opened her eyes; her eyes shone brightly again.

Cu Siau-thian staggered.

The nun just closed her eyes and walked back to her original place.

From beside her came the sound of Tu Liong's painful scream.

Then came the long, heart-wrenching scream of the white-browed killer.

Not long after, the piercing scream of the fake Thiat-yan.

The nun exhaled a long breath and said, "Omitohud... the net of fate is not tight, but no one can escape it."

0-0-0

What had happened?

At that time, the fake Thiat-yan held the handle of the knife under her clothes when her biological father, Cu Siau-thian, laughed long.

She glared fiercely at the bald nun.

"Darn bald one," she cursed in her heart, 'I will make your clothes red today.'

She had already taken a stance, ready to dash quickly toward her.

When Cu Siau-thian's laughter stopped, she didn't pay attention to anything else.

All she saw was the silhouette of the nun's body.

She immediately screamed a battle cry, stomped her back foot firmly, and swiftly dashed forward.

She hoped she could see a deep fear in the nun's eyes.

Therefore, she kept her eyes fixed on the nun's head, hoping she would raise her head and look into her eyes.

Her wish was granted.

Not long after, the nun said "Omitohud" and lifted her head.

But it turned out she was still closing her eyes.

The fake Thiat-yan was confused, 'What's this?' she cursed in her heart.

But suddenly, she opened her eyes.

The fake Thiat-yan was startled.

The nun's eyes shone brightly like sunlight.

Suddenly the nun disappeared from her sight.

The fake Thiat-yan had to stop her steps.

She looked around bewildered, trying to find where the nun had gone.

She tried to look at her biological father to help her point out where the nun was.

But apparently, her father also seemed confused.

Before the fake Thiat-yan could express her confusion, she became more nervous.

For some reason, her father suddenly trembled with fear and then staggered for no reason.

She intended to walk closer to her father to check what was wrong with him.

Suddenly the nun appeared in front of her.

The fake Thiat-yan shivered slightly.

She didn't expect the nun to have the inner strength to disappear and appear just like that.

But she felt the nun was still an ordinary human who did not know martial arts.

Therefore, she resumed attacking the nun with the sharp knife she still held.

But before the knife could pierce her enemy's chest, suddenly she felt intense pain in her body.

A heart-wrenching scream escaped her lips.

It turned out that Cu Siau-thian, her own father, was already near her and had stabbed a long iron needle into a fatal meridian in her body.

Her hands and feet immediately went limp, lacking the strength to continue standing.

She collapsed to the ground like a lump of boneless meat.

Suddenly Cu Siau-thian seemed to realize his actions.

He then fell prostrate before her and cried loudly.

Not long after, Tu Liong's scream was heard, followed by the scream of the white-browed killer.

After that, the nun's voice was heard again.

0-0-0

What Cu Siau-thian experienced was that he felt now he could not possibly lose.

Everyone already had their opponent.

He only needed to witness this final battle and help if needed.

He laughed long.

After his laughter ended, he saw his three subordinates attacking.

He saw a fierce fight between Tu Liong and Boh Tan-ping, and his daughter, nicknamed Thiat-yan, fighting the nun.

Boh Tan-ping seemed overwhelmed; previously, his energy was already drained when fighting Wie Kie-hong at Tan Po-hai's place.

But Cu Siau-thian was shocked when he saw his biological daughter suddenly falter in her charge against the nun.

Boh Tan-ping glanced at him for help.

But he ignored him.

He wanted to help his biological daughter first against the nun.

He saw the nun walking closer.

A feeling of gripping fear began to gnaw at his confidence.

His fear made him freeze and unable to move anywhere.

Even though this nun was in front of him, he still could not move.

He just kept looking at her.

"Omitohud" The nun lifted her head.

Her gaze met the nun's gaze.

Suddenly the nun's eyes shone brightly.

He immediately felt dizzy; suddenly, everything went dark.

"DISASTER!" he thought in his heart.

When his consciousness returned, he saw Thiat-yan in danger.

The nun had darted to attack her with a sharp knife.

He immediately darted trying to save his biological daughter.
