"My Liu Ye is very busy and doesn't have time to play house with you here."
The two exchanged a glance, and Liu Ye instantly understood. He wrapped his arms around Ling Yun's waist and said softly, "Indeed."
Feng Xiu's eyes twitched slightly, as if his heart had been clenched.
[Due to his brother's intimate relationship with the "female lead" Liu Ye, the "protagonist" Feng Xiu's thoughts are obstructed, resulting in a 500-point reduction in his luck, currently at 6500/7000!]
"The path of martial arts must not be mixed with other thoughts. Alliance Leader Liu, are you really willing to abandon your own path for a pretty boy?"
“We’re not on the same path. What you call the path is nothing more than a madman’s self-destruction.”
Upon hearing this, Feng Xiu grinned maliciously and clasped his hands in a fist salute once more, saying, "In that case, I'll be leaving now."
[Name]: Feng Xiu
[Realm Level]: Late Stage of the Innate Realm
[Special]: Martial Arts Fanatic (Purple)
[Identity]: Male protagonist of "Wulin"
[Destiny]: "No madness, no life." After mastering his martial arts, he embarks on a journey to challenge the greatest masters of the Dragon Kingdom, solely to prove himself the undisputed number one in the martial arts world. Upon learning of the Martial Alliance Leader Liu Ye's feat of challenging other martial arts schools, he marvels at the strength of a mere woman and discovers she has embarked on the same path as him, developing feelings of love for her. However, she refuses to fight him because she already has someone she loves, leaving Feng Xiu with a sense of obsessive humiliation. To prove his path is right, and to demonstrate his superiority, Feng Xiu decides to assassinate her beloved, forcing Liu Ye to fight him.
[Recent Opportunity]: A sudden enlightenment under the superposition of multiple complex emotions led to a breakthrough in his realm to the half-step Grandmaster level.
[Luck]: 6500/7000
Martial Arts Fanatic: Someone who is obsessed with martial arts and has greater perseverance and comprehension than ordinary martial arts geniuses.
"stop!"
An Xin was anxious, watching helplessly as her target left was something she, as a police officer, could not accept.
Seeing Feng Xiu walk out of the door unhurriedly, An Xin and Liang Man pulled the trigger at the same time.
The bullets were blocked by the air barrier, and even if she emptied the magazine, it was to no avail.
The policewoman was a little annoyed. She glared at Ling Yun, wondering why he had let the other party leave when Feng Xiu was clearly surrounded by them.
Ling Yun released Liu Ye's slender waist and pulled her into his arms.
"Angry?"
"Alliance Leader Liu is here, and Chief Instructor Liu is here too. How could you let him escape?"
"A cornered dog will jump over a wall; if he turns on you in desperation..."
An Xin opened her mouth as if to refute, but in the end she just pursed her lips and swallowed her words back.
"Don't worry, my men have already followed him. Tonight will be his death day."
How did you know he would come today?
"secret."
An Xin was angry and wanted to leave his embrace, but she was restrained by Ling Yun's powerful strength and could only stay close to him with a flushed face.
Do you want to know?
"Didn't you say it was a secret?"
"Give me a kiss and I'll tell you."
The policewoman hadn't expected Ling Yun to be so shameless, but she really wanted to get to the bottom of things, so she pecked him on the chin: "Is it okay now?"
Ling Yun didn't rush to explain to her, but instead invited everyone into the house.
Ling Yun had long anticipated that Feng Xiu would come looking for Liu Ye. After all, his goal was to challenge various experts, and Liu Ye, as the leader of the Martial Alliance, couldn't bypass him. After seeing Liu Ye's identity yesterday, Ling Yun took it to heart and immediately arranged for Er Leng and others to guard various locations along the route to the Martial Alliance, instructing them to notify Feng Xiu immediately if he approached.
This morning, on a whim, he felt that something was about to happen, so he circled around not far from the Martial Alliance. After hearing Er Leng's report, he rushed over.
The timing was perfect, and incredibly coincidental, as if it had been preordained.
The reason why Feng Xiu was not left here was not only because he was worried about Feng Xiu's last stand, but also because Ling Yun wanted to defeat him personally.
Ling Yun looked up at the sky and revealed a wicked smile.
Is this a case of someone who can't wait to send themselves to their doom, so they directly arrange for a powerful opponent to assassinate them?
Let me see just how much power the revisionists really have!
Chapter 143 The Dispute Has Been Determined
pat.
The door to the room where Gu Tianchen was being held was opened.
Feng Xiu walked up to him and removed the sock from his mouth.
Gu Tianchen's lips were pale, and he smelled foul.
After being put down, his knees buckled and he collapsed to the ground.
Feng Xiu brought over more food and water, and without caring about the taste, he gulped it down and drank a large glass of water.
"There's a well in the yard, go and fetch some water to wash yourself."
"Yes, Master."
Gu Tianchen both feared and hated Feng Xiu. If he could move freely, he could exchange his lifespan for something from the system, but now that he was tied up, even the system couldn't help him.
Feng Xiu said he would only be locked up for one day, but now it's been longer than that. He also goes to the toilet directly, and his whole body smells terrible.
He hurriedly ran to the well to draw water. It was a chilly November day. He gritted his teeth and poured the water over his head, but the icy well water did not extinguish the anger in his heart.
He also washed his clothes with well water, wrung them out, and put them on. After all, his physique at the Bone Forging Realm was strong enough that he wouldn't freeze to death.
Gu Tianchen put his clothes back on and was debating whether to take this opportunity to escape when a sudden tremor came from inside the house!
Sensing that powerful aura, he abandoned his thought of running away and obediently went inside.
"Congratulations, Master, on your breakthrough!"
Feng Xiu stood up and threw a punch at the door panel next to Gu Tianchen.
The force of the punch shattered the wooden door and startled Gu Tianchen, who thought the punch was about to attack him.
Feng Xiu was not very satisfied with this. The shackles of the Grandmaster realm were much thicker than he had imagined. He did not expect that he would only break through to the half-step Grandmaster realm this time.
"come over!"
Gu Tianchen shrank his neck and walked over. Feng Xiu was angry at his cowardly appearance: "Come on, let me give you some pointers!"
"Master, the difference in our cultivation levels is so great..."
Feng Xiu suppressed his strength to the same level as Gu Tianchen, the mid-stage of Bone Forging, and then kicked him.
Gu Tianchen fell backward to the ground, and after realizing that the other party had suppressed his cultivation level, he quickly got up and began to spar with him.
Feng Xiu wasn't trying to get a chance to fight; he simply wanted to vent his anger and beat Gu Tianchen terribly.
Gu Tianchen's luck had already plummeted due to his torment, and now he was being unilaterally crushed, his spirits were being constantly suppressed, and he was beginning to doubt whether he was truly the chosen one.
Another punch landed on his stomach, and Gu Tianchen clutched his stomach and knelt down, vomiting up everything he had just eaten.
Feng Xiu revealed his true colors, delivering a powerful downward kick to Gu Tianchen's back, burying his face in the vomit.
[The protagonist, Gu Tianchen, has less than half his luck, and his talent attributes have been weakened!]
Gu Tianchen's "arrogant young master of the capital (purple)" has changed to "wealthy young master (blue)".
[The Rich Young Master: Once a rich young master, due to his lackluster performance, the system is now hesitant about whether to unbind him.]
Feng Xiu was unaware that Gu Tianchen possessed a system. In his eyes, Gu Tianchen was ridiculously weak. Later, he only used his early-stage Bone Forging strength to beat Gu Tianchen so badly that he couldn't get up.
"waste!"
He kicked Gu Tianchen into a corner, glanced at him with disgust, and turned to leave.
Gu Tianchen lay in the corner, his face ashen.
[Given the host's performance, this system has further lowered its evaluation of the host.]
These words ignited Gu Tianchen's pent-up resentment: "Isn't it all because of your useless system! If you were any stronger... Aaaaaah!"
He convulsed as if electrocuted, and soon lost control of his bladder again.
[This is a warning; one year of your lifespan will be deducted!]
Gu Tianchen angrily pounded the ground. He was filled with resentment. He thought that after obtaining the system, he would marry a rich and beautiful woman and reach the pinnacle of life. But now, the rich and beautiful woman was lying in someone else's arms, while he was hiding in this dilapidated house like a dead dog!
This shouldn't be happening! This shouldn't be the case!
Gu Tianchen bit his lip until it bled.
I cannot fall like this. I am the chosen one of heaven. I must... I must take back Ling Shuang and kill Feng Xiu, Ling Yun, and Gu Yuan!
Feng Xiu sat cross-legged in the courtyard, ready to detect any attempt by Gu Tianchen to escape.
As dusk fell, Feng Xiu went to the kitchen to prepare a simple meal. After filling his own stomach, he didn't forget to bring some for Gu Tianchen, otherwise the latter might really starve to death.
Gu Tianchen acted very humbly, respectfully accepting the food and forcibly suppressing his convulsing stomach as he slowly ate it.
Little did Feng Xiu know that this scene only deepened his suspicions.
The fact that he can still force a smile even after being bullied like this shows that he is extremely cunning. This kid must not be allowed to live!
"You go to sleep first, we have guests."
Feng Xiu sensed something and slowly walked out, leaving Gu Tianchen looking slightly bewildered.
Inside the courtyard stood a tall young man.
"It's you?"
Feng Xiu looked at the young man in the moonlight and clenched his fist: "I haven't even come looking for you yet, but you've already come knocking on my door."
Ling Yun was dressed in black, the surface of which shimmered with an unusual light, clearly indicating that there was more to his appearance than met the eye.
“Feng Xiu, 35 years old.” Ling Yun mimicked him and uttered the declaration of war. “His parents died early. He grew up under the tutelage of a martial arts master, but because his master was slow to teach him stronger martial arts, he secretly poisoned his food. After that, he practiced martial arts alone in the mountains.”
"After mastering his martial arts, he challenged the Thunderclap Hand and the Northern Leg King in succession..."
"His most outstanding achievement was miraculously surviving a fall off a cliff with martial arts master Ma Baoguo. Am I right?"
Feng Xiu listened to the young man's explanation and clapped his hands with a smile.
"Not bad, not bad. It seems you've investigated me thoroughly. You must have spent a lot of time on it, right?"
Ling Yun drew his long sword: "I have something to do later, so hurry up."
"Since you dare to come to me, it means you have your own confidence." Feng Xiu's hand formed a claw. "Then let me see just how capable a man who can be the leader of the Martial Alliance really is!"
A pale golden aura rose up, and Lingyun's momentum continued to rise!
Feng Xiu's expression hardened, and then he felt a little jealous: "I heard that Alliance Leader Liu has a secret technique to enhance combat power. I didn't expect that she would teach it to you."
Ling Yun held the knife in one hand: "Today, we will determine who is superior and who is inferior, and we will also decide who lives and who dies."
Feng Xiu, whose lines had been stolen, was stunned for a moment, then charged toward Ling Yun with a ferocious expression, his fingers gripping the blade, ready to disarm him with his bare hands.
The moves that had been invincible before failed today.
Ling Yun's true energy was extremely hot, and combined with the sharpness of the refined iron longsword, it almost severed Feng Xiu's finger!
Feng Xiu, in pain, quickly withdrew his attack, but having lost the initiative, he was met with Ling Yun's relentless wielding of his longsword!
Chapter 144: A Matter of Life and Death
The fight between the two could not possibly be kept secret from Gu Tianchen inside the house.
He crouched by the window, watching the two fighting outside, his eyes filled with shock.
At first, he didn't recognize Ling Yun. But after the young man defeated Feng Xiu, he glanced in his direction and their eyes met. Only then did he recognize him.
Ling Yun was actually able to fight Feng Xiu to a standstill!?
His fingers gripped the windowsill tightly, his jealousy and hatred for Ling Yun driving him to the brink of madness.
Feng Xiu was furious after being defeated. He had challenged all kinds of experts, but he had never been forced into such a situation by a mere young man in the Marrow Cleansing Realm.
He attacked relentlessly, ignoring the wounds inflicted on him by the longsword, all in an effort to kill Ling Yun.
Seeing his madness, Ling Yun gripped his longsword and slashed at his arm.
