Jian Sui Feng, a young man with a bit of childish enthusiasm, somewhat goofy, but with an excellent character!
For a certain purpose, he desperately needed fame and had done many heroic deeds. He didn’t know where he heard it, but he learned that heroes should remain nameless, so he did good deeds and never left his name behind.
Months passed, and while he had saved quite a few people, he was still unknown.
As the two were talking, a sudden wave of Emperor's Sword Qi descended from the heavens. They both drew their weapons, one a blade, the other a long sword, and in a flash, they shattered the powerful Sword Qi.
Jian Sui Feng shook his wrist: “Such powerful Sword Qi!”
Hu Die Jun’s expression darkened: “Which bastard is attacking Hu Die Jun? Show yourself! Hmm? Someone's fighting up ahead! It's quite a commotion. Let's go take a look!”
As he spoke, Jian Sui Feng had already taken the lead, just in time to witness Xun Wu You and Gui Qi Zhu clashing. One exuded righteous energy, the other, an aura of death.
Which was the good guy and which was the bad guy was clear to Jian Sui Feng.
He drew the ancient sword on his back and joined the battle: “Friend, don’t worry, I’ll help you!”
Xun Wu You let out a sigh of relief. He and Gui Qi Zhu had exchanged nearly a hundred moves in an instant, and he was clearly losing. The righteous swordsman had stepped in, and now the two were evenly matched against Gui Qi Zhu.
If Hu Die Jun also joined in, with the combined forces of the three of them, Gui Qi Zhu wouldn’t stand a chance!
“Who dares to interfere?”
Gui Qi Zhu roared in anger, flipping and leaping into the air, his feet stepping on a withered leaf, he coldly floated in mid-air.
He was just a few moves away from defeating Xun Wu You when this unexpected challenger arrived, infuriating him.
Jian Sui Feng brushed his bangs and said in a clear voice, "Righteous Swordsman, Jian Sui Feng!”
“You fame-hungry wretch, get out of my way!”
Gui Qi Zhu was furious.
He moved with an eerie footwork, like a ghost in the sky, and attacked Xun Wu You again.
Seeing this, Jian Sui Feng raised his sword, a long arc of light, blocking Gui Qi Zhu.
Jian Sui Feng was certainly no match for Gui Qi Zhu, but he had the newbie halo. Newbies in Pili usually had the power to fight beyond their level, they would only fade into obscurity after a while.
But Jian Sui Feng wasn’t your average newbie, this fellow had a cheat code, so even in the later stages, he was still solid!
In terms of fighting prowess, Jian Sui Feng was at the seventh level of Innate, one level higher than Xun Wu You. He clashed head-on with Gui Qi Zhu, took five steps back, and exclaimed, “Master!”
Xun Wu You gained a moment to breathe, regrouped, and charged towards Gui Qi Zhu, while not forgetting to call back, “Let’s go together, the one with the ghost mask is not a good guy.”
“That’s what I was thinking!” Jian Sui Feng moved his sword like the wind, attacking Gui Qi Zhu’s lower body.
His sword moves were as smooth as flowing water, while Xun Wu You focused on the upper body, his righteous energy pressing down on Gui Qi Zhu.
“You’re courting death.”
Gui Qi Zhu fought back with speed, and in the blink of an eye, two hundred rounds had passed. He was both shocked and angry.
These two must have met for the first time, how could they coordinate their attacks so seamlessly?
With imperial Qi pressing down from above, and the surging river-like attacks from below, even though Gui Qi Zhu was at the peak of Innate, he was forced to stagger back.
“You should be thankful that I’m using a bamboo sword!”
Xun Wu You shook the bamboo nodes: “If it was a steel weapon, I would have pierced a few transparent holes in you!”
Gui Qi Zhu snorted, glared at Xun Wu You, and said, "If you have the guts, fight me one-on-one. What's the point of relying on numbers? You only win if you can beat me in a duel!"
“Gui Qi Zhu?”
A gasp: “Didn’t you die in the Blood River Battle? How did you come back to life? Are you also an immortal?”
In Pili, there are some characters who are like cockroaches, impossible to kill. Even if they die, they’ll come back to life after a while, they’re called immortals!
Gui Qi Zhu looked in the direction of the voice. He saw a swordsman approaching slowly, and instead of answering the question, he asked, “Butterfly Jun, who collects money to do others’ dirty work, are you planning to become a hero?”
“Don’t mock me,”
Hu Die Jun’s face was expressionless. “This Butterfly has indeed changed his ways after getting married, but even before that, someone like you was a target for Hu Die Jun to kill. Hmm, if we fight again, my blade will take your middle body!”
Xun Wu You smiled. Now it was truly a sure thing.
One on one, no one could defeat Gui Qi Zhu, but with the three of them together, Gui Qi Zhu was doomed.
“Ai~”
Gui Qi Zhu pretended to shake his bone fan: “Forget it, you have the numbers, no need to fight. We’ll meet again someday, I’m leaving!”
“Wait!” Hu Die Jun sneered: “Did I say you could leave?”
Klang!
The Butterfly Blade unsheathed, its crimson blade locked onto Gui Qi Zhu, emitting killing intent. The Butterfly Blade grew a few inches, shimmering with a glazed glow.
“You want to keep me?” Gui Qi Zhu laughed: “You’re way off!”
No matter how Hu Die Jun’s killing intent sealed the space, he tilted his body, slid back a few steps, a black hole appeared behind him, and he disappeared into it.
As expected. Xun Wu You twitched the corners of his lips.
The reason why Gui Qi Zhu could escape from Jun Feng Tian’s grasp several times was because of this black hole.
Just the three of them couldn’t hold Gui Qi Zhu.
Moreover, even if they killed Gui Qi Zhu, it would be pointless. This was just a substitute body of Fei Chang Jun, it could be reborn. The only way to stop him was to kill Fei Chang Jun’s real body.
“Thank you for your help!” Xun Wu You threw away the bamboo: “I’m Xun Wu You.”
“Just doing my duty, nothing to thank me for!” Jian Sui Feng smiled: “I’m Jian Sui Feng, you’re Xun Wu You, it’s said that the wind is free and without boundaries, destined to meet, you and I.”
Hu Die Jun pushed Jian Sui Feng aside, and looked Xun Wu You up and down: “You have a grudge against Gui Qi Zhu?”
“No.” Xun Wu You shrugged: “We met at a roadside teahouse, he chased me for over three hundred miles. If it wasn’t for you, I’d still be running.”
“Amazing!” Hu Die Jun gave a thumbs-up: “To be able to run from Gui Qi Zhu for three hundred miles, your light skills are pretty good… Why did he chase you then?”
Xun Wu You shook his head, not that he didn’t know, but it was hard to explain.
Anyway, Gui Qi Zhu’s schemes would eventually be exposed, it wasn’t his job to reveal them.
Moreover, he was barely able to protect himself right now. If he exposed Gui Qi Zhu, Fei Chang Jun would definitely spare no effort to kill him.
He would wait until he had the power to rival the Xuan Huang Three Vehicles, then he would settle accounts with Fei Chang Jun.
“Be careful.” Hu Die Jun sheathed his blade.
He paused and continued: “I heard before that Gui Qi Zhu has resurfaced, I thought it was a rumor, but now it’s confirmed! On the surface, Ni Shen Yang and Gui Qi Zhu are both not to be trifled with! I have some other things to do, I’m leaving.”
“Wait!” Xun Wu You smiled: “Can’t let Hu Die Jun help us for nothing, let me give you a gift.”
Hu Die Jun’s eyes lit up: “Gold or silver?”
Xun Wu You shook his head: “A piece of information.”
“Then I’m not interested.” Hu Die Jun’s expression dimmed: “I only like gold and silver!”
“Is that so?” Xun Wu You stroked his chin: “Then forget it. I thought Hu Die Jun came to the Bitter Realm to find his daughter, it seems I was wrong.”
Hu Die Jun’s expression changed: “You know where my daughter is? Where is she?”
Gold and silver were a preference, his daughter was love. Love and liking were two different things!
If it wasn’t for his daughter, he wouldn’t have bothered hanging around in the Bitter Realm.
The Bitter Realm truly was a place of right and wrong.
“Shou Yu!”
Two simple words. Hu Die Jun narrowed his eyes.
