Chapter 251 Bloody Feud

Chapter 251 Bloody Feud

The atmosphere almost froze into ice in an instant.

The Tai Heng Sect disciples around them sensed something was wrong and hurried to check, and saw that it was Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi.

For a moment, no one dared to act rashly.

The ten Pojun swordsmen stopped where they stood, their swords trembling slightly in their sheaths.

The aura instantly enveloped Chu Qing's entire body, and if there was anything wrong, it would kill the enemy.

Lan Shuyi felt as if a huge mountain was pressing down on his shoulders.

It is majestic and powerful, and now it is hanging high in the air. If it falls, I will be crushed to pieces.

His face was suddenly filled with a wry smile:

"Is the Third Young Master planning to kill me at Tai Heng Gate?"

"You think I don't dare?"

Chu Qing said softly:

“Two gangs, three halls, five sects and one village. I control the Liehuo Hall, and you are from the Ding’an Hall.

“We are not friends in any way.

"I never took you seriously, but now you want to jump on my face...

"You are the first executioner to ignore my question and just walk away."

"Have you ever thought about... the consequences of killing me!?"

Lan Shuyi looked serious.

Chu Qing glanced at him with a half-smile:
"Consequences? Just relying on the ten people around you? Or the Ding'an Hall behind you?"

After hearing Chu Qing's words, the ten Pojun swordsmen around him could no longer hold back, and a faint sense of sword intent permeated the air.

Chu Qing snorted coldly, his voice was not loud, but it was instantly heard by the ten people.

There was a buzzing sound, which was not loud at first, but it sounded like the sound of a huge bell in their ears, making their heads buzz. The sword intent that had just permeated the air was dispersed in an instant.

The faces of these ten people turned pale in an instant...

They couldn't even resist a cold snort, how could they protect Lan Shuyi! ?

When Lan Shuyi saw this scene, his expression changed.

He, the executioner, fought his way through the battlefield... If he fought alone, he was no match for Chu Qing, and neither was Po Jun.

Thinking of this, he took a deep breath:
"Third Young Master, can you give me a chance to talk alone?"

Let's talk alone...

Chu Qing met Lan Shuyi's eyes, and after a moment of hesitation, he suddenly smiled:
"Okay, I'll give you this chance."

After he finished speaking, he lifted Lan Shuyi's shoulders, jumped up, and it seemed like he was riding the wind. In the blink of an eye, he had gone far away.

The ten Pojun swordsmen looked at each other, not knowing whether they should chase them or not.

After hesitating for a while, he decided not to just stay there and wait, so he set out to catch up.

In a corner of Taiheng Mountain, the surroundings are quiet and there is no trace of snow, which shows that no one has come here.

Chu Qing descended from the sky and casually threw Lan Shuyi aside. The executioner rolled on the ground for a few times before he stabilized his body and took a deep breath:
"Third Young Master...you ran too fast. I almost spilled my dinner."

"That's a bit too much nonsense."

Chu Qing folded his arms and looked at him:

"If you say two more words of nonsense, it won't be a knockout. I will beat you out."

"Don't dare!"

Lan Shuyi hurriedly said briefly:
"I can help you swallow Ding'antang!"

"Oh?"

Chu Qing was stunned, then burst into laughter:
"You can use this to fool a three-year-old child, but you're using it to fool me? Lan Shuyi... are you calling me stupid?"

"At this point, you are the knife and I am the meat.

"How dare I scold you..."

Lan Shuyi stood up, brushed off the snow on his body, and then said:

"I was serious."

"Everyone knows that you, Lan Shuyi, are the first person to expand the territory of Ding'an Hall. You lead the Po Army and are invincible."

Chu Qing said lightly:
"Now you're telling me that you want to help me swallow up Ding'an Hall?
"And you want me to trust you... Tell me, how can I trust you?"

"What if I tell you that there is an irreconcilable feud between Ding'an Hall and me?"

Lan Shuyi raised his head and looked towards Chu Qing. There was less coldness in his eyes, and no more cynicism. His eyes were clear and sincere.

However, Chu Qing did not believe him at all.

They are all thousand-year-old foxes. The eyes are the windows to the soul. For people like Chu Qing and Lan Shuyi, they can all be disguised.

Therefore, Chu Qing just asked calmly:
"Tell me, what is the deep hatred between you two?"

"The head of Ding'an Hall, Wang Fang, was originally a thief, nicknamed Flying Tiger.

"He is good at using a nine-ring knife... and his two brothers specialize in robbing houses in the Hukou Mountain area, committing all kinds of evil.

"I was born as the son of a farmer. Although my family was not wealthy, we were self-sufficient. My parents loved me and I had no worries. They even saved a little money for me to go to a private school and learn to read and write.

"But I didn't expect that when I came back from private school that night, I saw a man lying on the side of the road with blood all over his body, his eyes closed, waiting to die.

"Teacher said... saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda. I am still young and don't know much about the world, let alone its depth.

“It took a lot of effort to drag him back home.

"My parents never complained when they saw this, they just cursed how difficult life was and how hard it was for people to live.

“So he took some herbs and used them to stop the bleeding and heal the man’s wounds.

“I wanted to wait until he got better and then let him leave on his own, which would be considered a good thing.

“After waking up, the man was polite and courteous, but he was too weak to leave, so his parents took extra care of him.

“On the contrary, because I have to go to private school during the day, I see him less often.

"That year, the fruits in the village were ripe, and when I got up early to go to the private school, I picked two... I wanted to give them to him to eat, hoping that his injury would recover soon.

"I finally ran back home from the private school, but to my surprise, the gate was open and there were two strangers.

"And the person who should have been lying on the bed dying, was sitting there in a crouching posture, with no trace of dejection on his face.
“I eavesdropped on their conversation and found out…the man I saved was Wang Fang, but at that time he was called Fei Tianhu.

“I traveled thousands of miles to do a big deal, but the deal was done, but it attracted the attention of Luochen Villa.

“Wen Fusheng, who had just succeeded the position of the manor owner, wanted to eliminate the evil himself.

"However, due to his lack of experience in martial arts, he was led away by Fei Tianhu. In the end, although he injured it, he was not able to kill it...

"He traveled a long way to our village and was finally rescued by me."

When Lan Shuyi said this, his face was still calm, but slightly pale. He took a deep breath and said:

"If things had ended here, they would have left on their own and our family could have pretended that we had never seen them.

"As a result, my parents, who had already gone to work in the fields, came home at this time and wanted to cook for me while I was still in school...

“I just happened to see them meet.

“What they did was already secretive, and they are still being hunted by Wen Fusheng. If the news leaks out, Wen Fusheng, who has been fooled once, will definitely not give them a second chance.

"So...so...my parents were beheaded by Wang Fang with the Nine-ring Knife that his two brothers found!
"I was young and ignorant. Seeing my parents die tragically, I couldn't help but scream, which also exposed my tracks."

"How did you survive?"

Now that it has been exposed, Wang Fang must not be a merciful person. The fact that Lan Shuyi was able to grow up this big must have been due to some twists and turns.

"…It was you who saved me."

When Lan Shuyi said this, he subconsciously looked up at the sky. The sky was dim, and it was difficult to see the tears in his eyes.

He said softly:
"The teacher was originally a man of the underworld. He was tired of the fighting and killing in the underworld, so he lived in seclusion in the village and opened a private school to teach the children in the village to read and write, and to enlighten them to learn literature.

"That day he found out that I had sneaked back home, so he came back... but he was a step too late and failed to save my parents.

“And your martial arts skills should be on par with Wang Fang’s at that time, but Wang Fang had two helpers by his side.

“Therefore, after the gentleman saved my life, he did not entangle with me for too long and took me away.

“Those three men chased him all the way, and the gentleman was injured, and blood was spilled all the way.

“Even with a burden like me, he was eventually caught up by these three people.

“Seeing that the master was defeated and about to die...Wen Fusheng, who had been chasing the three of them, arrived.

“It was the first time I saw someone like that. His internal energy turned, and all directions stagnated. He could kill a person with just one finger.

“The bandit who had been chasing us all the way was arrogant and domineering, but the moment he saw him, he fled in panic, frightened out of his wits.

“Those two people finally ran away, not because Wen Fusheng lost them again, but because he couldn’t bear to see the gentleman die.

“Choose to stay and save Mr.’s life first.

“Because of this, I had the opportunity to stay in Luochen Villa for a few days… After my master recovered, he told Wen Fusheng about my life experience.

"Wen Fusheng wanted to keep me at Luochen Villa, so I asked him if I could learn his martial arts if I stayed and became his disciple.

"Wen Fusheng shook his head and said that his martial arts were inherited from his family, and that the [Nine Heaven Star Finger] and [Yan Tian Xing Yu Gong] would never be passed on to outsiders...

“So, I said no.

"My husband and I left Luochen Villa. I was at a loss and didn't know where to go. My husband fought with me and although he survived the battle, he became ill.

"He said that the hatred between our parents is irreconcilable, and if I want revenge, I cannot become his disciple.

"Even if he has mastered his martial arts to the highest level, he can only fight Wang Fang to a draw at best.

“In order to seek revenge, he wanted to take me to find another good teacher… Since then, I have been following the master in the martial arts world.

"Later, he brought me to my teacher's school. He and my teacher were close friends, and it seemed that out of respect for my teacher, my teacher accepted me.

"Later... the master died. The root of the illness from that battle could not be cured, and over time, his body was worn down.

"I have been training hard under my mentor for ten years. I think my martial arts skills have surpassed those of Mr. Wang Fanghe in the past. So I bid farewell to my mentor and went to Hukou Mountain to seek revenge on Wang Fang."

Unfortunately, I didn’t find it…

Everyone has different encounters in life.

Lan Shuyi met a famous teacher, learned literature and martial arts, and finally gained a lot.

Because of his different circumstances, Wang Fang transformed himself and became the leader of the Ding'an Hall, which was gaining fame and power at the time.

The difference between the two is so huge that Lan Shuyi never dreamed that his archenemy would become like this.

He searched and investigated all the way, and even went to Luochen Villa to visit Wen Fusheng and ask about the details of that year.

Wen Fusheng did not hide anything, but just said that since that year, Fei Tianhu and his brothers disappeared from the world.

He needs to stay in Luochen Villa and cannot leave easily. He also doesn't know the current situation of this person.

Lan Shuyi bid farewell to Wen Fusheng and continued searching in the world...Finally, by chance, he found his archenemy.

However, his martial arts skills are no longer what they used to be, and his status and position are also completely different.

Lan Shuyi knew that he was no match for him and it was impossible for him to be killed head-on.

He then joined Ding'an Hall and became Wang Fang's most capable subordinate, gradually earning the name of 'Thousand-Threaded Soul-Fixing Hand' and also the notoriety of 'Executioner'.

"Unfortunately... I still don't have the chance to kill him."

There was no ripple in Lan Shuyi's eyes:
"Perhaps because he had done too many bad things in his early years, Wang Fang's food, clothing and daily expenses have to be inspected by many parties, and everything he eats must be tested for poison.

"At night, even the most favored concubine cannot even think of sleeping on the same bed with him.

“If I want revenge, I can only ask for outside help.

“But now the four masters of Ding’an Hall are well-known in Nanling and are ranked among the top three halls. Who would dare to provoke them?
“To be honest, I have been keeping the Third Young Master in mind since he rose to prominence in the martial arts world… My intuition tells me that the Third Young Master is extremely ambitious and is definitely not someone who is willing to be ordinary.

"Later, the Third Young Master stopped the war between the two halls with a single word at Ghost God Gorge, and even brought the Fiery Hall under his command. I knew then that my prediction was correct.

“In fact, I asked for this Sword-granting Ceremony on my own initiative, because I wanted to get in touch with the Third Young Master and see if there is any chance for us to cooperate.

"As for the previous question, I can tell you frankly...

"The reason why I chose to help Li Junmo investigate Zhao Qipeng's death is because you agreed.

“This is a great opportunity to get up close and personal with you.

“I just didn’t expect that the Third Young Master could be a good chess player, but he just liked to overturn the chessboard and get to the bottom of things, which made all my preparations go to waste.

"Now that all my secrets have been revealed, you can decide whether I live or die."

"Although you said that I can decide your life or death, in fact, you are actually very sure."

Chu Qing smiled and said:

"I'm sure I won't kill you. I'm sure I'll use you to take down Ding'an Hall!"

"This is the best choice for both me and you."

Lan Shuyi said seriously:
“Everything I said is true.

"I know that you have a close relationship with Luochen Villa. You can send someone to deliver a letter to Manor Master Wen to see if there is any lie in what I said!"

"That doesn't mean anything..."

Chu Qing said lightly:
"Stories can be true, but people may not be."

Lan Shuyi was stunned, and immediately smiled bitterly:
"You are right, so you...are going to kill me?"

Chu Qing thought for a moment, took out a porcelain bottle from his arms, and said softly:

"This contains the 'Sanjiu Soul-Severing Pill'. You won't die immediately after taking it, but if you don't take the antidote on time, you will die suddenly.

"If you eat it, I will believe you."
