Eternal Painter Swordsman
121. Great Witch

"The two of you won't be able to defeat me. One was a human and the other was a fox demon. " Said the Great Witch cynically.

"Why then with that ? You're only human while I'm a demon, I can't believe that I can't beat you. " Huang Xinxin said no less cynically.

The Great Witch herself was looking for a way to distract Huang Xinxin so that she gained a loophole to defeat Huang Xinxin.

The attacks given by Huang Xinxin were so nimble and agile that the Great Witch herself could not resist so easily.

The sound of scraping nails and the Great Witch's sword rang out, it was like two swords rubbing against each other.

"I will definitely beat you today !" Huang Xinxin.

Huang Xinxin kept trying to defeat the Great Witch but the Great Witch herself was very quick in dodging, just when she accidentally dodged, the claws possessed by Huang Xinxin stuck in the mask that covered her face.

The fight of both sides was halted for a while and Huang Xinxin took a few steps back to look at the real face of this Great Witch.

The Great Mage Mask split into two large halves and slowly the ground fell, when one piece fell, Huang Xinxin saw a face that was so young and so handsome.

Looking like a familiar face to him, after another piece fell, Huang Xinxin was instantly startled and took a few steps back along with Ming Yue.

Zhou Man and Jiu Rui who were looking over from the top of the fortress were also shocked by this sight.

The Great Witch showed her terrible smile and she grinned at all of them.

"Why ? Are you guys surprised by my looks ?" Asked the Great Witch chuckled softly.

They all held their breaths deeply, a face that was completely unfamiliar to them especially to nobles like them.

The face that was very often encountered by them especially Huang Xinxin, it was the second person he knew after Huang Lixin.

"I didn't think it was you. " Said Huang Xinxin.

"During your time, Miss Huang. Or would it be better if I called you Xia Mei ?" Asked the Great Witch aloud to mention Huang Xinxin's disguise identity.

"Next to see you too, Mr. Liu. I did not expect that all this time I had known the Great Witch of the Yu Kingdom. " Huang Xinxin replied.

"Thank you for the praise from Miss Huang, Young Master Zhou and Crown Prince Jiu, are you guys so to see my painting exhibition this week ?" Ask the Great Witch who is Lord Liu.

Yes, Mr. Liu who owns the Shuiyun Hall. People who are very close to them and they have often met.

This certainly surprised them. Ming Yue herself was not familiar with Master Liu as she rarely went to a place like the Shuiyun Hall.

Huang Xinxin grinned as Mr. Liu did, he would never have expected that the person he already considered a friend would turn out to be his great enemy.

Even the workers in the Shuiyun Hall did not know his real name. This of course actually made people feel confused but unfortunately Huang Xinxin himself was unaware of this.

"What do you want ?" Asked Huang Xinxin.

"Since you all already know my identity then all of you must die here !" Exclaim Master Liu.

"Before that, don't you owe us all an explanation ? What is your real name ?" Asked Huang Xinxin.

Master Liu paused for a moment and looked at Huang Xinxin with interest as if he was looking at a new object that caught his attention.

"What makes you curious about my real name ?" Ask Mr. Liu.

"You're saying that we're all going to die soon, I don't want to die with this kind of curiosity. " Huang Xinxin replied indifferently.

"Alright, since you are all people who are about to die, I will grant your request. I'm not actually a person of the Yu Kingdom. But, I am the one who built the Yu Kingdom. But, do you know where I originally came from ?" Ask Mr. Liu.

"Jiu Empire. " Huang Xinxin replied.

"That's right but at the same time it was also wrong, at that moment, his name was not the Jiu Empire but the Liu Empire. I used to be a Crown Prince and there was an Imperial Advisor named Jiu Ling. Do you know ? That was the person my father trusted the most. He will listen to whatever he says. But, do you know what he's doing ?" Ask Mr. Liu.

"He rebelled. " Huang Xinxin replied.

"That's right ! On my father's birthday at the time, he delivered a cake made by his wife out of the trust my father had in them because they had grown together for decades, he ate the cake and what was the result ? He killed my father with poison and the entire Liu Family was ruthlessly slaughtered by him. I, a 6-year-old boy, hid behind a pile of garbage for 7 days and 7 nights. " Reply Liu.

"I ate nothing, I drank only rain water until I was finally taken out by a faithful servant of the Palace. She was the person I considered my second mother, she took me out in silence but her own servant-partner betrayed and told this to the new Emperor. Of course we lived in a hunt for days and suffered until finally, he used his life to protect me. I promised that I would take revenge on him and I had killed Jiu Ling indirectly. I instigated his son to immediately take the throne and he could stand it no longer before he finally killed him with his own hands. " Continue Liu.

Everyone finally understood where Liu's hatred started from.

"I am Liu Chang Ming, people think that I am dead but I am still here to see the suffering of his descendants. " Say Liu with hatred.

"What about that fellow waiter ?" Huang Xinxin asked breaking the silence.

"The waiter partner ? I've been avenging him for a long time. He was the first person I distilled to be the source of my power. " Accounted Liu Chang Ming.

"So, now do you want to destroy the Jiu Empire ?" Asked Huang Xinxin.

"Of course I want to do it. " Abspoke Liu Chang Ming with confidence.

"Then , it means your age will reach its peak. You've been waiting for 300 years but now choose to end it entirely ?" Huang Xinxin asked with proper analysis.
