Seeing the two entangled in battle, Ding Yi Shi Tai exclaimed in amazement, “This young man is so young, yet his skills are so profound. They say his sect’s ultimate skill, “Move Flowers and Connect Jade”, uses softness to overcome hardness and excels at striking after the opponent has moved. He has yet to use it, and I always heard people talk about how powerful the “Move Flowers Palace” is, but I didn’t believe them. Seeing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation!”
Yue Buqun, standing beside her, remained calm and thought to himself, “My Huashan sect was once renowned, but unfortunately, our lineage has fallen into decline. I, Yue Buqun, swear to revive the Huashan sect in my hands! ”
Hua Wuque laughed as he fought, “Senior’s name is Fang Dong Bai. I hear it has a bit of that Sun Moon Sect Leader Dongfang Bubai’s shadow in it. Could it be that Senior used to be named Dongfang Bai and feared this Oriental Sect leader would find you, so you changed your name and lived in hiding?”
Fang Dong Bai had reemerged into the world this time with the intention of making a name for himself at this conference. He had been going smoothly until he encountered this detestable young man. The young man, despite his youth, had learned some strange and bizarre skills from somewhere. Fang Dong Bai had encountered Move Flowers Palace members in his younger days, and their fighting style was completely different from this young man’s. With so many people watching, he couldn’t defeat him quickly. He was already frustrated, and now, hearing this young man mock him, he was furious and about to fight desperately.
Seeing his anger, a gleam flashed in Hua Wuque’s eyes. He thought, “This is it”, and deliberately exposed a flaw. Fang Dong Bai was overjoyed and, without hesitation, struck out with a palm. But Hua Wuque stepped aside, then, like a serpent, wrapped his arm around Fang Dong Bai’s attacking arm, and coiled up. Fang Dong Bai was caught off guard and received a palm to his chest. Then, Hua Wuque quickly grasped Fang Dong Bai’s sleeve, shouting something like “Fo Shan Wu Ying Jiao” (Buddha Mountain Shadowless Leg). In an instant, his lower abdomen felt like it had been struck by a heavy hammer.
Hua Wuque grabbed Fang Dong Bai, who was now completely limp, and said with a smile, “Oh, senior, I was caught off guard and accidentally hurt you. I’m truly sorry. Please don’t blame me. I have a favor to ask of you. Please lend me something.”
With one hand, he ripped Fang Dong Bai’s hair, dragging him before Huang Xuemei and asked, “I vaguely remember you saying that your family was surrounded and attacked because of the “Tian Mo Qin” (Heavenly Demon Harp). This man just admitted to being the mastermind behind it. Now, I have him. Will you deal with him yourself, or should I?”
Looking at the man who had murdered her family, Huang Xuemei was overcome with emotion. She struggled to get up, but she had been severely injured, and she fell forward again. Hua Wuque quickly held her in his arms and said anxiously, “I see your injuries are too severe, so don’t move around. I will handle your affairs. You just watch from the side.”
Huang Xuemei struggled, saying, “No, I have longed for this day, dreaming of it night and day, and after all these years, seeing my enemy right in front of me, how can I leave this to someone else? I must take revenge with my own hands!” She tried to get up again.
Hua Wuque sighed, gently grasped her right hand, stopped her struggling and said in a stern voice, “If you want to take revenge with your own hands, then stay still! If you keep moving, he won’t be the one who dies, you will!”
Huang Xuemei hesitated when she heard his words, but she chose to trust him and stopped struggling.
Hua Wuque gently grasped her hand. Seeing Fang Dong Bai still unconscious on the ground, he channeled his internal energy through Huang Xuemei’s fingers and aimed it at Fang Dong Bai’s leg. Immediately, a bloody hole opened up.
Fang Dong Bai, in pain, woke up. Looking at the two in front of him, he spat out, “I’ve spent my whole life catching birds, but today I’m being pecked by the bird! I didn’t know you were so well-hidden. I admit defeat. Kill or cut me up, as you see fit!” Seeing Huang Xuemei’s excited expression, he burst into laughter, “Hahaha! Even if you kill me, your parents will still be dead. I watched them die in agony that day!”
Huang Xuemei spat out a mouthful of blood, enraged, “You old thief, today I will cut you to pieces, to avenge my father, mother, and younger brother!”
Hua Wuque didn’t speak, but put his arm around her, grasped her right hand, and his Tian Mo (Heavenly Demon) True Qi surged out through Huang Xuemei’s arm. In an instant, Fang Dong Bai was covered in blood, and chunks of flesh flew off. Fang Dong Bai rolled on the ground, screaming, “If you have the guts, just kill me with one strike!” Unable to bear it any longer, he raised his hand to strike his own forehead, but Hua Wuque stopped him with a finger, rendering him immobile.
Hua Wuque laughed, “A single strike is too crude. Let’s try something new today. Fang Senior, you should feel honored to be able to sacrifice yourself for the sake of our martial arts community’s skills.” He continuously waved Huang Xuemei’s hand. Fang Dong Bai screamed in agony, but he was acupointed and couldn’t move a muscle. He felt like he was going through hell.
Everyone in the courtyard was horrified, feeling like this handsome young man was a demon from hell. Compared to him, all those so-called demons and heretics were as pure and innocent as children. They wanted to leave but feared this demon’s wrath. They could only turn their backs and avoid looking.
The screams continued for about half an hour before gradually weakening. Fang Dong Bai had been tortured until he passed out, then woke up, repeating this cycle. He had lost his mind and was barely alive, with a dribble of saliva at the corner of his mouth.
Hua Wuque smiled, looking down at Huang Xuemei and asking gently, “How are you feeling now? Have you vented some of your anger?”
Huang Xuemei nodded and smiled at him. Sunlight shone on the two of them, casting a golden hue. The man was handsome, the woman beautiful, and they looked like a pair of celestial lovers ascending to heaven. But to everyone else, the scene looked like something out of a nightmare, terrifying them to their core.
