In another place, a cold wind was blowing from the north and made the trees rustle. A grey haired man dressed in black robe bowed at a wooden memorial plaque. The words ‘Beloved Qu Feiyan’ were inscribed on the plaque. A drop of tear ran down the grey haired man’s cheek. “Yan’Er, it’s been three years already. Father…misses you so much,” he sniffled.
“Uncle Qu, I’m sure Feiyan is watching over you up there,” a female voice from behind said. A girl dressed in a black cloak, wearing straw hat white veil hanging from the brim patted him on the back.
The grey haired man wiped his tear with his sleeve. He let out a long sigh and said, “I was the one who caused her death. Had I not enter the divine cult Feiyan would not have died at such a young age. In fact, she would be happily married and probably have her own kids by now.”
The girl stepped forward and bowed at the plaque once. “Feiyan left with no regrets. I remember how happy she was when she first told me about her relationship with Lingfeng. Her smile was very sweet that day. From her facial expression, I could tell that she had obtained happiness. It is the kind of feeling that I’ve never had before.”
The grey haired man looked up at the dark sky. “With a lifetime companion by your side you would die with no regrets,” he sighed. “If it wasn’t for all this rubbish talks about good and evil cannot coexist Feiyan and Lingfeng would have been able to live together happily.”
The girl placed her hands behind her back and looked away. “If Lingfeng truly loved Feiyan he would have put all these martial arts world conflict aside. He’s probably not as good as Feiyan said he is,” she commented.
“Sometimes you cannot look at things from the surface. Feiyan and Lingfeng’s relationship is just like the fireworks, beautiful but short lived but they did treasure every minute being together,” the grey haired man explained.
A sudden sound of wind came from behind. The girl drew a gold plated short sword from her waist.
“Ying Ying, you can put down your weapon,” the gray haired man said.
Yue Lingfeng landed on the ground and walked towards the plaque. He went on his knees and bowed at the plaque three times. “Feiyan, I’ve come to see you,” he said in a soft voice.
The grey haired man looked toward him. “I’m sure that Feiyan would be very happy to see you here,” he said.
Yue Lingfeng pulled a paper crane out from his chest pocket and placed it in front of the plaque. “Feiyan, you once said that anyone who folds one thousand paper cranes will have their heart's desire come true. The next time I come I will bring another nine hundred and nine paper crane. My only desire is that you return to my side…” he said in a soft and gentle voice.
The girl returned the short sword into the sheath as she listened to his words.
The grey haired man walked toward Yue Lingfeng and patted his shoulder. “The past is the past. Old man here doesn’t wish to see you wallow in your sorrows. I’m sure Feiyan would not want to see it either. It is only when you can let go that you can be freed,” he said.
Yue Lingfeng pulled himself up from the ground, turned around and leapt into the air.
The girl clenched her fist and sneered, “This kid is arrogant! He did not even greet you! I’ll teach him a lesson!” She leapt into the air and went after Yue Lingfeng.
The grey haired man raised his hand and called out, “Ying Ying! Come back!”
After tailing him for a long distance, they finally reached a hill. The girl somersaulted in the air and landed in front of Yue Lingfeng. She had her back facing him. “Little kid, how come are you in such a hurry?” she asked in a cold voice.
Yue Lingfeng folded his arms around his chest and responded, “Miss, I don’t intend to be hostile. It’s best that you go back to Senior Qu.”
The girl hummed angrily, “Too bad I want to be hostile!” With those words, she drew the short sword and thrust it straight at him.
Yue Lingfeng hesitantly extended his hand and used his finger to tick the tip of the short sword.
The girl dropped the short sword to the ground as her hand became numbed. She could tell that Yue Lingfeng had profound internal energy but was determined to tech him a lesson. She slid her right foot under the short sword and heaved it up from the ground. She caught the handle of the short sword with her hand and charged towards Yue Lingfeng once more.
Yue Lingfeng drew his sword and slashed it toward the girl. The steel of his sword unleashed a strong gust of wind that sliced the girl’s straw hat into half and knocked her off the hill. The moment he saw that the girl was a gorgeous looking girl around the age of eighteen, he became startled.
3 years ago...
A man dressed in black silk robe stood at the edge of a mountain looking up at the stars.
Yue Lingfeng strode gracefully in the air and landed behind him.
The man in black turned around to look at him. “Young Hero Yue, you’re finally here,” he said.
Yue Lingfeng stared at him intently. “You’re devil cult’s elder Qu Yang?” he asked in a cold voice.
The man in black nodded, “I am Divine Sun Moon Cult’s Right Messenger, Qu Yang.”
A sudden gust of wind came sweeping towards them. Yue Lingfeng clenched his fist and continued, “I’m Huashan Sect’s Yue Lingfeng. I have been instructed by my Adopted Father to eliminate all evil.”
The man in black sighed, “Divine Sun Moon Cult and Five Mountain Sword Sects Alliance have been fighting each other for decades. If both parties can put their differences aside and try to resolve their enmity through peace the casualties would also be lessen.”
Yue Lingfeng reached for the handle of his sword. “If your cult retreats from the martial arts world and live in seclusion I’m sure that there would not be any more casualties,” he explained.
The man in black laughed and said, “Not everyone from the devil cult is bad just like not everyone from the righteous sect is good.”
Yue Lingfeng drew his sword and pointed it into the air. “There’s no need to argue any further on this matter. If I die in your hands, I hope that you can help me deliver a message to a close companion of mine,” he continued.
The man in black nodded, “You have my words.”
Yue Lingfeng lowered his sword and bowed at him, “Thank you. If I get killed please tell Feiyan that my love for her will never perish.”
The man in black looked away and sniffled. “I will!” he said.
Yue Lingfeng raised his sword and said, “Senior, please proceed!”
The man in black extended his hand to the side preparing himself for a duel.
Yue Lingfeng generated his inner energy and leaped into the air. He let out a loud roar and slashed his sword it toward the man in black. A strong gust of wind generated by his sword sliced through the man in black’s flesh to the very marrow of his bones.
The man in black let out a loud cry of pain as he stumbled towards the edge of the mountain. The skin on his face ripped off revealing a beautiful looking girl.
Yue Lingfeng was stunned. He dropped the sword to the ground and flew toward the girl instantly. He held the girl by the waist, spinning in the air and slowly landed to the bottom. He slowly placed her on the ground and looked at her astonishingly. “Feiyan! How come it’s you?! How come it’s you?! Don’t sleep!” he asked frantically.
The girl could barely open her eyes. She felt numb all over her body.
“Feiyan! What exactly happened?! How come it’s you?!!” Yue Lingfeng cried astonishingly. He placed his palm on the girl’s right shoulder and started to transfer his inner energy to her hoping that it would preserve her life.
Bolts of lightning suddenly flashed across the sky, followed by rumbles of thunder.
The girl felt a stream of energy flowing into her body and slowly regained conscious.
Yue Lingfeng let out a load roar and broke into tears, “Feiyan! Don’t leave me! You cannot leave me!” He exerted his strength and transferred more inner energy to the girl’s body.
The girl slowly opened her mouth and said, “Brother Feng…don’t waste your inner strength…Being able to meet Brother Feng is the…happiest thing that…has happened in to Feiyan…Unfortunately Feiyan to be with you…till old age…” She paused for a moment gasping for air. “The moment I knew…that you’re from…Huashan Sect and that you’re determined to eliminate all evil…Feiyan had no choice but to take…take your blow on behalf of my father…Feiyan hopes that after this Brother Feng can let go all resentment and grudges…After I have died…please do not trouble my father again…Feiyan hopes that we will be able to meet again in our next lives…Please forgive Feiyan for not fulfilling my vow of accompanying you till end of time…” After finishing her words, she closed her eyes and breath her last.
Yue Lingfeng raised his fists and continued roaring in pain. He felt completely lost and helpless.
..............
Without thinking twice, he leaped off the hill going after the girl. He grabbed the girl by the waist and started shouting hysterically, “Feiyan! Noooo!” His eyes were filled with tears.
The girl was startled by his reaction. She looked him in the eyes without saying a word. She felt the warmth while in his arms. “I can finally understand my Feiyan was so happy. She may have passed away for three years but this man has not forgotten her at all,” she thought to herself.
After landing at the bottom of the hill, Yue Lingfeng went down on his knees with the girl in his arms. He lifted up his head and let out a roar. “Feiyannnnnnnnnnnnnn!”
The girl felt his pain and sorrow. She laid still and remained silent.
After venting all his frustration and sorrow, Yue Lingfeng finally regained his senses. The moment he noticed that the girl in his arms was not the one he was thinking about, he quickly took his hands off her. “Miss, I’m sorry for being impolite…” he looked down and said in a soft voice.
The girl slowly pulled herself up from the ground in silence.
Yue Lingfeng returned to his feet and bowed at her. “I’m leaving now. Once again sorry for being impolite earlier,” he said embarrassingly. After those words, he turned around and leapt into the air.
The girl folded her arms with a long smile on her face. “Feiyan, you’re right. Yue Lingfeng is truly a good man,” she said.
It was a bright sunny morning. After a good night’s rest, Linghu Chong was feeling much better. He stretched out his arms and took in a deep breath. “Nothing like having a good night’s sleep!” he said to himself. He got up from the grass and looked around the area. “Where’s Brother Dong?” he murmured. “Brother Dong!” he called out but there was no reply. He was the only one at the grassland. “He’s so weird. He left without saying a word!” He then noticed a purple hairband lying on the grass. He stooped down and picked it up, “Brother Dong was indeed here. It wasn’t some dream after all.” He suddenly remembered about his martial uncle’s retirement ceremony. “I better be on my way!” he reached for the flask of wine and ran off immediately.
After walking a long distance, After walking a long distance, Linghu Chong arrived at a teahouse. He walked in to get something to eat before going over to his martial uncle’s residence.
A waiter came to serve him, “Sir, are you alone?”
Linghu Chong nodded and replied, “Yes. Bring me some steam buns and a pot of tea.”
The waiter led him to a table upstairs.
As he walked along the corridor, he noticed Tian Boguang and Yi Lin sitting at another table. Tian Boguang was forcing Yi Lin to drink with him. Yi Lin made some hand gestures signaling him to get away from her.
“It’s him again and he’s picking on Junior Martial Brother’s sister this time! Looks like I’ve to be nosy again” he stared at Tian Boguang coldly. He then walked over to Tian Boguang’s table, placed a foot on a stool with his hands at his waist, “It’s you again huh?!”
Yi Lin recognized Linghu Chong right away. “Senior Martial Brother Linghu! Save me!” she cried.
Tian Boguang was startled, “Stinky kid! You are still alive!”
Linghu Chong said down and said, “You want someone to drink with you? I can drink with you. You don’t have to bother this little nun.”
Tian Boguang grinned, “Your nose is very sensitive instead. You actually found me here! Interesting indeed! Since we got to know each other through a fight, how about becoming friends?”
Linghu Chong took a sip of wine, “Why should I be friends with you?”
Tian Boguang smirked, “If you become my friend I can let you have the little nun. I, Tian Boguang always believe in bros before hoes,”
Linghu Chong shook his head. “You shouldn’t harm me like that. There are three things I fear most in my entire life,” he uttered. “It’s called the three venom’s. Nuns are one of them.”
Tian Boguang looked at him confusingly, “Three venom’s? Tell me about it.”
Linghu Chong looked at Tian Boguang with his eyes wide open. “No way! Brother Tian, you’ve been in the pugilistic world for so long but yet you’ve never heard of the three venoms?” he yelled. “As the saying goes, nun, arsenic, and golden stripped snakes are not to be touched.”
A grey haired man dressed in black sitting behind them smirked. “This guy is talking rubbish,” he thought to herself.
Linghu Chong got up from his seat and walked over to Tian Boguang. “Nuns are one of the venom’s. Arsenic is another type of poison. Golden stripped snake is the third venom. Among these three, nuns are ranked number one. You know what? The male apprentices of our Five Mountain Sword Sects Alliance have been saying that if you bump into a nun, whether it fighting or gambling, you’ll definitely lose for sure. As the saying goes, women are the root of trouble,” Linghu Chong continued. “Since they bring you such bad luck why would you still want to keep them? Just let them go.”
The grey haired man sitting behind them took a sip of tea, and smiled. He finally realized that Linghu Chong was making everything up to trick Tian Boguang into letting Yi Lin.
Tian Boguang let out a long sigh, “Brother, this is just superstition. We shouldn’t believe it.”
Linghu Chong shook his head, “You must believe in what I said. Years ago my second junior apprentice brother took part in a martial arts competition and was doing extremely well. But after he saw a nun he somehow unreasonably ended up being slashed by his weaker opponent which almost cost him his life. If this isn’t bad luck, then what is?”
Tian Boguang burst out laughing, “That’s because your junior apprentice brother is lecherous!”
Right at that moment, a Taoist priest around the age of forty appeared at the scene. He walked over to their table. “Who is Tian Boguang?” he asked sternly.
Linghu Chong and Yi Lin simultaneously pointed at Tian Boguang.
Tian Boguang combed his hair with his fingers, “You can also call me the most handsome man with lots of pretty women, Little Tian Tian.”
The Taoist priest smirked, “Today I’ll save the world by getting rid of you!” His name was Tian Men, the leader of the Mount Tai Sect. He drew his long sword and thrust it at Tian Boguang instantly.
Tiang Bo Guang leapt off from his seat and moved aside to dodge the attack and simultaneously reached for his short saber.
A fierce fight broke out between the two of them. The patrons in the teahouse panicked and ran towards the front door.
The grey haired man sitting in the back remained at his seat, drinking some tea.
Tian Men’s sword attacks were fast and forceful but Tian Boguang did not have any problems blocking it at all. After parrying the thirtieth strike, Tian Boguang finally retaliated. He smacked Tian Men’s chest and back with the side of his short saber in a blink of an eye. His movements were so fast that Tian Men did not have a chance to react. Tian Boguang ended the fight by knocking Tian Men’s chest with the hilt of his short saber.
Tian Men staggered backward and felt a sudden pain on his chest.
Tian Boguang lowered his short blade, saying, “Taishan Sect’s sword arts isn’t that great after all.”
Linghu Chong propped Tian Men by the shoulder, “Martial Uncle Tian Men, let me help you.”
Tian Men grunted, “Linghu Chong! You’re an apprentice of the Mount Hua Sect but yet you call this pervert brother! This is simply a disgrace to the Five Mountain Sword Sects Alliance! I don’t need you help!”
Tian Boguang sputtered and said, “If this stinky kid doesn’t help you, you’ll die for sure!” After finishing his sentence, he flashed towards Tian Men, struck his right leg with the side of his short blade and simultaneously kicked his chest.
Tian Men tripped and fell on his back.
Yi Lin stood in front of Tian Boguang. “No! Don’t kill him!”
Tian Boguang raised his brow, ‘When a woman says no, it means yes…” He raised the short saber and took a step forward.
Yi Lin shook her head, “Noooo!”
Tian Boguang lowered his short saber and started laughing, “Alright! I’ll give face to you and not kill him!” He grabbed Yi Lin’s hand and pulled her back to the table.
Linghu Chong helped Tian Men up from the floor. “Are you alright?” he asked.
Tian Men swung his sleeve and pushed Linghu Chong to the back, “Get away from me!” He turned around and limped down the stairs.
Tian Boguang returned to his seat and continued drinking his wine. “Brother, come and have a drink with me!” he called out.
Linghu Chong took a seat furiously. He picked up a chopstick and used it hit Tian Boguang’s hand numerous times. “That priest misunderstood me because of you!,” he complained angrily.
Tian Boguang smirked, “Now that the Taishan Sect priest has left you’re going to be in some trouble after today. I intended to kill him to save you from any unwanted complications but the pretty lady wouldn’t allow me to do it.”
“That’s alright. I get into trouble all the time. Getting into another trouble is no big deal,” Linghu Chong snorted. “Brother Tian, you’re saber skills is indeed fast and precise. If you had fought me the same way you just did the last time I would have died a long time ago.”
Tian Boguang replied laughing, “Look at you now? Aren’t you still alive? I held back in our last battle because you were merciful towards me during the night of my wedding.”
Linghu Chong shook his head, “Brother Tian, you flatter me. I tried my best to defeat you that night but was no match against you. So you can’t say that I was being merciful.”
“If you had not pretended to be the bride and waited till I was having fun with the bride, and kill me with your sword I would have been died by now. I know that you’re a hero and that you would never use such underhand methods. You’ve my utmost respect therefore…” Tian Boguang said.
Linghu Chong interrupted him, “Hold it! If I had waited a while longer you would have had your way with the little nun already.”
Tian Boguang scratched his head in confusion, “What way?”
Linghu Chong winked, “That way…” He meant consummating with the little nun but just couldn’t say it out loud.
Tian Boguang chuckled, “I get you now…”
“I can’t just stand around and watch injustice without doing anything,” Linghu Chong explained.
Tian Boguang gave a thumbs up, ‘Great! I am glad to know a friend like you. Come on, let’s drink another bowl.’
“My martial arts skills may not be as good as yours but my drinking tolerance is much better than yours,’ Linghu Chong said.
“‘Are you sure? You want a contest. Come on, let’s first drink ten bowls of wine each,’ Tian Boguang proposed.
“‘Brother Tian, I thought you were a real man who wouldn’t take advantage of others, that’s why I wanted to bet on the drinking contest. But apparently I was wrong. I am really disappointed.’
Tian Boguang knitted his brows. ‘How am I taking advantage of you?’ he asked.
“You know very well that I don’t like nuns,’ Linghu Chong said. “Every time I see a nun I would feel uncomfortable and lose my appetite. How can I still have a drinking contest with you?”
“Tian Boguang laughed and said, ‘Brother Linghu, I know you are trying every trick you can to save this nun. But I love beautiful women more than my own life so I’ll never let her go. If you want me to let her go, there is only one way to make me.”
“What would that be? Even if I have to go up a hill of knives or go down into pot of boiling oil, I’ll do it,” Linghu Chong replied.
Tian Boguang handed him a bowl of wine. “Drink this bowl of wine and then I’ll tell you,” he said with an evil grin.
Linghu Chong picked up the bowl and finished the wine with one gulp.
“Brother Linghu, I see you as my friend. If you agree to marry this little nun I’ll let her go,” Tian Boguang continued.
Yi Lin was startled by his words.
“If you agree to marry her, I’ll let her go right away and apologize to her,” Tian Boguang asserted.
Linghu Chong rose from his seat and struck the table angrily. “Nonsense! Son of a turtle!. You want me to marry her and have bad luck all my life?!”” he yelled.
Tian Boguang sighed, “Why are you so angry? Calm down. If you don’t like nuns that fine. I’ll just be with her then. How’s that? Are you happy now?”
Linghu Chong stared at him angrily, “Let’t not waste your breath. It’s either you release her or we fight again!”
Tian Boguang burst out laughing, “Brother Linghu, there’s no way you can beat me in a fight.”
“You’re right. I won’t be able to beat you in a fight. But that’s if we’re standing. If I sit and fight you I might have a chance to win,” Linghu Chong replied.
“Brother Linghu, I admire your courage, not your martial arts skills. I’ve to warn you about something. I had a knee injury when I was young for two years so I had sit and train my saber skills. Therefore even if we sit and fight you’ll still not be able to beat me,” Tian Boguang said arrogantly.
Linghu Chong grinned, “There’s something I need to tell you too. I’ve been training my sword skills at Mount Hua while sitting since day one.”
“Call me ignorant then. I’d like to see it then,” Tian Boguang replied.
“Brother Tian, you probably didn’t know this but our Mount Hua has a lot of flies. Whenever I go to the toilet these annoying flies would fly around. I had to use my sword and to kill the flies. In the beginning, I could hardly hit any of the flies, but as time passed, my thrusts got better, and I could hit some of them. I was able to develop my own sword arts out of thrusting at the flies. I call this sword arts Poking Flies Swordplay,” Linghu Chong chuckled.
Tian Boguang rose from his seat and walked toward Linghu Chong, “Linghu Chong, I consider you as a friend but you treat me as a fly. Very well, let’s just fight.”
Linghu Chong shook his head. “Brother Tian, please don’t misunderstand. I don’t think of you as flies. You’re much better compared to them,” he chuckled. “Let’s just fight then. Whoever that gets up from the chair first loses. If you lose, you cannot bother this nun again. In addition to that, you’ll have to bow to her and address her master. You’ve to be part of the Mount Heng Sect as well.”
Yi Lin shrugged, “No way! Our Mount Heng consist of women apprentices only!”
Linghu Chong interrupted, “This has nothing to do with you. Sit down!” He then turned to Tian Boguang and said, ‘Second, the loser will have to cut off his part and make himself a eunuch.”
Tian Boguang folded his arms, narrowed his eyes and said, “Brother Linghu, this rule seems too cruel. Are you sure that you can win?”
Linghu Chong folded his arms, “I, Linghu Chong am ranked 80th in the world when it comes to stand and fight. But if it’s sitting down, I’m ranked 2nd.”
Tian Boguang smirked, “Who’s ranked number 1 then?”
Linghu Chong replied, “Of course it’s the devil cult’s leader, Dongfang Bu Bai.”
The moment the grey haired man sitting behind them heard the name Dongfang Bu Bai, his facial expression immediately changed.
Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang got to their sitting positions and started exchanging flurry of blows. Tian Boguang struck his left fist out at Linghu Chong’s chest and concurrently swung the short saber in his right hand at Linghu Chong’s shoulder. Linghu Chong endured the pain in his chest and quickly raised his sword upwards to block the slash.
Seeing that he was in trouble, Yi Lin ran toward him, “Brother Linghu!”
Linghu Chong turned his head to look at her, “Leave quick! Do you want me to lose?!”
Yi Lin bowed, “Thanks for saving my life…but you’re..”
“Leave quick!” Linghu Chong shouted angrily.
Yi Lin turned around and ran down the stairs.
Tian Boguang laughingly said, “I knew that you purposely set up this trap but you’re going to lose and she won’t be able to!”
Linghu Chong replied, “You knew that it was a trap but yet you fell for it. You’ve got to be more careful!” After finishing his sentence, he swept his sword upwards and slashed it at Tian Boguang’s chest. Tian Boguang leapt into the air, with his left hand holding on to the stool to evade the attack. Linghu Chong was clearly no match against Tian Boguang even if it was fighting in a sitting position.
Tiang Bo Guang waved his short saber and struck Linghu Chong on the chest and in the back with the flat side of the short saber repeatedly, sent him sliding backward knocking into a table.
Linghu Chong coughed up a gulp of blood. His hands and legs started trembling.
“I truly admire you. You’re so badly injured but you still want to fight?” Tian Boguang asked.
“It’s just my kidney heating up. Throwing up some blood is no big deal,” Linghu Chong snorted.
Tian Boguang raised his brow, “You coughed out so much blood but still act like a hero. I’ve never encountered such person like you in my entire life. Very well, I’ll make you vomit more blood!” He flashed towards Linghu Chong, attacking him with the side of flat side of the short saber rapidly.
Linghu Chong felt pain all over his body. He did not even have the strength to block the flurry of attacks anymore.
The grey haired man continued drinking his tea without even looking at them. It was a though nothing had happened. She was as calm as the sea.
Tian Boguang kicked his foot out at Linghu Chong’s face, and sent him knocking into a railing.
Linghu Chong collapsed to the floor down below together with his chair. He pushed on the ground with his hands and struggled to get up with the chair at his back, but he was so badly wounded that he just couldn’t move.
Yi Lin quickly ran toward him. She was worried about Linghu Chong that she stayed behind. “Brother Linghu!” she stooped down to look at him.
Tian Boguang flew down toward them, with the short saber still in his hand. “Are you okay brother? Do you admit defeat now?” he said arrogantly.
Linghu Chong looked at him, “Silly, you’re the one who lost!”
Tian Boguang laughed, “I lost? Mind to tell me how did I lose?”
Linghu Chong replied, “Didn’t we agree that whoever’s backside gets up from the chair first loses?” He lifted up both his legs, his backside was still touching the chair.
Tian Boguang clenched his teeth furiously.
“Do you still have anything to say now?” Linghu Chong asked. “You may start calling her master.”
Tian Boguang suddenly narrowed his eyes, pressing his abdomen with his hand and pretended to have a stomach ache. “I’m not well…I’ve to leave now…” he turned around and ran out of the place.
Yi Lin propped Linghu Chong up by the shoulders and walked out of the teahouse.
Luo Renjie and Yu Renhao coincidentally passed by the area. “So it’s Linghu Chong of the Mount Hua Sect. Should I say that we’re lucky or unlucky to see you again?” Luo Renjie grinned.
Linghu Chong smirked, “It’s definitely unlucky for me. Guess it’s all fated.” He looked at the Yi Lin. “Junior Martial Sister, let me introduce you to them. These two men are the famous Qingcheng Four Beasts. Do you what is Qingcheng Sect’s best martial art?”
Yi Lin shook her head.
“You’ve no idea? Well it’s the Wild Goose Falls On Its Backside move (Pìgu Xiang Hou Píng Sha Luoyan Shì),” Linghu Chong continued.
Luo Renjie stared at him furiously, “For someone who is about to die, you sure talk a lot!”
Linghu Chong looked at him intently, “What? Have you forgotten that awesome move already? Do you want to see it again?”
“You’re still talking rubbish!” Luo Renjie struck his palm out at him.
Linghu Chong quickly pushed Yi Lin to away from him so that she wouldn’t get hit.
Luo Renjie slash his hand at Linghu Chong’s head. Linghu Chong raised his forearm to block the strike. Luo Renjie immediately swung his sheathed sword at Linghu Chong’s face. Linghu Chong simultaneously lowered his body and stepped aside to dodge the attack. Luo Renjie instantly turned away from Linghu Chong and kicked him in the abdomen.
Linghu Chong flew backwards, knocked against a booth and fell on to the floor. He groaned in pain.
Yi Lin turned her head to look at him, “Brother Linghu!”
Yu Renhao immediately grabbed Yi Lin by the arm and pressed the edge of his sword at her neck. He decided to apprehend her before she made her move.
“Let go of me!” she struggled to break free from him.
Luo Renjie stomped his foot on Linghu Chong’s chest.”Linghu Chong! You brought this to yourself!” he chuckled.
Linghu Chong looked at Yi Ling and muttered, “Junior Martial Sister Yi Lin…before I die I want to tell you Lin Family’s Resisting Evil Sword manual whereabouts!”
Luo Renjie stooped down and grabbed Linghu Chong by the collar. “Where is the Resisting Evil Sword manual?!” he asked.
Linghu Chong made a hand gesture, signaling him to come closer.
Luo Renjie leaned his ear over to Linghu Chong.
“It’s in your…heart…” Linghu Chong grabbed a knife from the ground and thrust it into Luo Renjie’s chest.
Luo Renjie groaned in pain as he collapsed to the ground.
Yu Renhao let go of Yi Lin and ran over to his martial brother. He stooped down and propped Luo Renjie up from the back, “Martial Brother! Martial Brother!”
Luo Renjie was no longer breathing.
Yi Lin helped Linghu Chong up from the floor.
“He’s dead. They’ll definitely seek revenge…I can’t fight anymore…We have to go now,” Linghu Chong murmured.
Yi Lin propped him by the shoulders and walked away hurriedly.
Yu Renhao got up and chased after them. “Stop running!” he yelled angrily.
The grey haired man stood at the doorway, watching the entire incident. He finally reached her hand out and flicked shot a stone at Yu Renhao’s leg.
Yu Renhao lost his balance and fell to the ground.
After walking a short distance, Linghu Chong lost conscious and fell to the ground, dragging Yi Lin down with him. Yi Lin crawled toward Linghu Chong and shook his shoulder. “Brother Linghu! You can’t die!” she yelled in tears. Seeing that he wasn’t moving, she placed her index finger under Linghu Chong‘s nose. Her face suddenly turned pale, Linghu Chong seemed to have stopped breathing. “Brother Linghu! You can’t die…” She was completely devastated, gave a gasp and fainted.
