I am a prince in Zhutian Films

Chapter 510 The Demon God Kowtowing
In fact, Hayato Ten'in's decision to cooperate with Ying Xun after witnessing Ying Xun's strength was actually part of Ying Xun's plan.

The reason why he deliberately let Hayato Ten'in escape was not only because he needed Hayato Ten'in to lure out Xiao Ao Shi, but also because he was well aware of the grudges between master and disciple. He knew that Hayato Ten'in always wanted revenge, and that after witnessing his strength, Hayato Ten'in would definitely not give up this opportunity for revenge.

In fact, it was no surprise.

Hayato Tenkaku returned after escaping.

Then, the two reached a cooperation agreement.

Besides introducing the Laughing at the World, the address of the Xuanhua ship was actually given to Ying Xun by Hayato Ten'in.

"Laughing at the world, you've lost."

Ying Xun arrived gracefully and stood beside Hayato Ten'in.

"Yes, I lost. I lost because I misjudged him. I thought he was a powerful ruler, but I never imagined he was so easily swayed by love and affection. I..."

The rest of the conversation was cut short because Xiao Aoshi saw Ying Xun take out a pill and throw it to Hayato Ten'in.

Then, he got angry.

"You two have been colluding all along?"

The sound was like rolling thunder, shaking all directions.

Ying Xun remained calm and chuckled, saying, "If you can't speak properly, then don't. Using the word 'flirting' is far too offensive. We're cooperating. Do you understand what cooperation means?"

"Good, good, good! You're all very good!"

Laughing at the world's fury, he burst forth with his inner energy, sending the Battle Soul Sword flying from his abdomen. He roared like a wild beast, "Ying Xun, I'll remember you. Our fates are still uncertain. Next time, I will definitely kill you all."

As soon as these words were spoken, eight different forces—Heaven, Earth, Odd, Righteous, Yin, Yang, Life, and Death—erupted simultaneously, merging with each other to form an unparalleled gale that swept wildly toward Ying Xun and Hayato Ten'in.

This was the final, desperate struggle of the Swordsman, and its power was naturally extraordinary.

Ying Xun unleashed a punch, its force like a dragon, and one could even hear the roar of a dragon.

It was the Dragon Scale Breaking the Sun technique from the Mountain and Sea Fist Manual, amplified by the Nine Heavens, its power seemingly capable of truly shattering the blazing sun.

boom!
With a violent roar, Ying Xun tore through the gale, but Xiao Aoshi's figure was nowhere to be seen.

Hayato Tenkaku's expression changed drastically.

"Oh no, he escaped!"

"Well, what a pity, he still managed to escape from the Xuanhua."

Despite this, Ying Xun's tone was devoid of any regret or worry, instead filled with a playful smile: "However, if he doesn't escape, how can he lure out the Great Demon God? I don't have time to go find him myself."

"Then what happens next?"

"What should we do?" Ying Xun chuckled. "Of course, we should beat a dog when it's down, but don't kill it all, or we won't be able to lure out another dog."

After saying that, he flashed away, taking You Ruo with him, and chased after Xiao Aoshi in the direction he had left.

Three days later.

Night, no moon, starlight dim.

"Cough cough..."

In an inconspicuous stable, a heart-wrenching cough suddenly rang out, sounding as if the person was coughing up their internal organs.

The one who made that coughing sound was none other than Xiao Aoshi, the fleeing leader of the Xuanhua ship.

Anyone who has ever seen Xiao Aoshi would never believe that the once arrogant and godlike leader would have fallen to such a state.

His face was deathly pale, devoid of any color, his clothes were tattered and stained with blood, and his breath was extremely weak, making him look no different from an old man on the verge of death. The stench of sweat and blood mixed with the smell of horse manure from the stable was enough to make one want to vomit.

During these three days, he was constantly being hunted down by Ying Xun and others. Although Wan Dao Sen Luo could control all things and was also an expert at escaping, Ying Xun was like a persistent leech that he could not shake off no matter what.

More importantly, Xiao Aoshi had to fight desperately to escape each time he encountered trouble.

With each attempt, his injuries worsened, and now he is on the verge of death.

If it weren't for having one last trump card, Xiao Aoshi would probably have already broken down mentally and been left to Ying Xun and the others' mercy.

His last trump card was his elder brother, Xiao Jingtian.

As the eldest son of Xiao Sanxiao, Xiao Jingtian, like Xiao Aoshi, is also dedicated to promoting the Great Calamity of a Thousand Autumns, but the two have different methods.

Xiao Aoshi is dedicated to developing his influence in Japan, while Xiao Jingtian focuses on himself, spending most of his time cultivating diligently.

It was also because of their differing philosophies that the two brothers parted ways.

The Great Demon God Xiao Jingtian's strength was above his back then. Now, so many years later, he has probably truly reached the realm of a Demon God. If he and his elder brother join forces, he doesn't believe they can't deal with Ying Xun.

Now, Xiao Aoshi's only worry is that if Ying Xun and the others come after him again, they will surely die.

Fortunately, this place is not far from the Great Demon God's secluded abode.

Given the power of the Great Demon God, he must already be able to detect his presence.

Just as Xiao Aoshi was thinking this, a deep and domineering aura suddenly arrived.

Faced with this imposing aura, even the stars in the sky seemed to dim, and the surrounding air became so heavy that it almost stagnated, causing Xiao Aoshi to catch his breath and then his eyes to widen suddenly.

He knew that the person he was looking for had arrived.

"I told you long ago that external forces are never reliable, and that you yourself are the foundation. But I have to say, I never expected you to lose so miserably."

The voice, both divine and demonic, seemed to come from the heavens above, each word exploding like a muffled thunderclap in one's ear.

"I never expected to be so utterly defeated." Xiao Aoshi lowered his head, his voice low: "That person's martial arts are very high. Even if it were you, it would be best to make a move on the night of the full moon, and... it's almost dawn now."

"Hey, since that's the case, then let's spare their lives for now."

……

The distant mountains are verdant, and the lake water is azure.

The green hills are reflected in the lake, their blue and green hues as deep as the blue.

Smoke curls from the chimneys of the small village at the foot of the mountain and by the lake, resembling a tranquil paradise.

Looking at the small mountain village before him, Hayato Ten'in frowned slightly and said, "The aura of Laughing at the World disappeared around here."

"Yes, let's go in and take a look." Ying Xun lightly touched the ground with his toes, drifting towards the mountain village like a gentle breeze.

Hayato Ten'in followed closely behind. Now that he had betrayed Laughing at the World, he was determined to go all the way down this dark path.

Otherwise, once Xiao Aoshi recovers from his injuries, he might not be able to deal with Ying Xun, but dealing with this traitor would be a piece of cake.

The two arrived in the village, where old people and children, woodcutters and village women, the sounds of roosters crowing and dogs barking... it seemed no different from an ordinary village in Japan.

Hayato Tenkaku used his Myriad Paths of Senro to sense his surroundings, only to discover that most of the people present were not ordinary people. Although these villagers did not have strong auras, they were undoubtedly martial artists.

However, none of these auras belonged to the leader.

Suddenly, he let out a cold snort, and his killing intent surged.

Hayato Ten'in believed that Laughing World was most likely hiding in the village. Since he couldn't find him by tracking his aura, he might as well slaughter the entire being. It must be said that Hayato Ten'in indeed possessed the demeanor of a ruthless and cold-blooded hero, willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

Ying Xun didn't care about the lives of these Japanese people. If he stopped Hayato Ten'in from killing them, he would be letting down his identity as a descendant of the Sichuan Army.

Not personally taking action, and turning a blind eye to Hayato Ten'in's ruthless killing of the child, was already the greatest mercy he could show.

The Japanese are no loss!
So, after Hayato Ten'in had slaughtered the entire small mountain village, he finally spoke, "Come on, follow me."

After saying that, he headed directly to the other side of the mountain village.

Hayato Tenkain hesitated for a moment, then followed.

Soon, they left the village via another mountain path.

There is a dense woodland here, where several woodcutters are chopping wood.

Ying Xun stopped a short distance away from one of the woodcutters and watched him intently as he chopped down a tree, as if the woodcutting technique was more captivating than any beautiful woman.

Hayato Ten'in was puzzled and carefully examined the woodcutter. He felt that the man was extremely ordinary in terms of both physique and aura. Apart from being a little faster at chopping wood than others, there was nothing unusual about him.

The woodcutter felled a large tree that required two adults to encircle, wiped his sweat with a towel, and then looked at Ying Xun and Hayato Ten'in: "My name is Chen Ping. You two are not from this area, are you? May I ask what brings you here?"

"Chen Ping, huh?" Ying Xun murmured, then asked, "Are you from the Xuanhua Company?"

"Xuanhua?" The woodcutter was taken aback at first, then suddenly realized, "Young master, you mean the century-old Edo-based trading company? I know that if we come across some good timber, we will send it to Xuanhua for sale. The manager of Xuanhua puts me in charge of timber within a hundred miles. In a way, I am also one of Xuanhua's people."

"So you know the head of the Xuanhua ship?"

"The boss?" The woodcutter was stunned. "What boss? I don't know. If you're not here to buy firewood, then you'd better leave. Don't bother me while I'm chopping wood. The New Year is almost here, and I need to save up money for a good meal."

By the end, the woodcutter was clearly getting impatient. He waved at Ying Xun and prepared to continue chopping wood.

"Is that so? If you die, you won't have to scrape together money for the New Year."

As Ying Xun spoke, he gave Hayato Ten'in a wink.

Hayato Ten'in understood and immediately unleashed a barrage of palm strikes.

As the master of the Hidden Sword School and Xiao Aoshi's most prized disciple, Hayato Ten'in's palm techniques are naturally exceptionally skillful.

If he were to unleash his full power at this moment, let alone an ordinary woodcutter who knows no martial arts, even a top-tier master like the Fist God would not last more than a few blows against him.

However, something unexpected happened.

Although the woodcutter Chen Ping was greatly alarmed, he used his superb agility to dodge the barrage of palm prints.

"Hey, he's definitely no ordinary person."

Hayato Tenkaku's eyes lit up, and he launched a new round of fierce attacks.

He wielded the myriad paths of the universe to master the martial arts he had learned, unleashing punches, palm strikes, kicks, and footwork all at once.

Each strike was exquisite and carried the power to shatter rivers and split mountains.

In the blink of an eye, the two had exchanged dozens of blows.

Under the bombardment of the powerful energy, the surrounding ground collapsed, rocks and stones flew everywhere, and the surrounding trees were snapped in half or even blown to pieces.

The remaining woodcutters included both skilled martial artists and ordinary woodcutters, but regardless of their identities, they all succumbed to the aftermath of the battle and perished on the spot.

Chen Ping's martial arts skills are truly remarkable; even if we look at the whole world, he could probably rank among the top fifty.

However, Hayato Ten'in was not weak either, and was even slightly stronger than Chen Ping. In addition, the opponent was bound to lose his defense after a long time, and finally Hayato found an opening and struck Chen Ping in the chest with a palm.

Chen Ping reacted quickly as well. While flying backward, he twisted his body and used Hayato Ten'in's palm force to escape.

If it were only Hayato Tenkaku, he might have actually gotten away.

Ying Xun flashed and suddenly appeared behind Chen Ping, raising his hand and slapping him hard on the back.

With a muffled thud, Chen Ping immediately spat out blood. Like a kite with a broken string, he crashed into more than ten large trees before finally stopping, his breath weak.

Clearly, Ying Xun's palm strike was much heavier than Hayato Ten'in's.

"Let me interrogate him; maybe he knows the whereabouts of the chief."

Hayato Ten'in appeared in a flash, and was about to use his Beast Heart Technique to control the other party.

"Need not."

Ying Xun waved his hand, a murderous intent appearing: "The chief is nothing but a stray dog ​​now, he can't cause any trouble. Besides, I have my own way of finding him, so... just kill him."

As he spoke, his palm reached out towards Chen Ping, as if he were about to take his life in the next second.

Upon seeing this, Chen Ping immediately knelt down with a thud: "Sir, spare my life! Sir, spare my life! I am indeed a member of the Xuanhua Company, a spy under the Fourth Master. Although I do not know the whereabouts of the First Master, if you give me three days, I will definitely find the First Master's hiding place for you two sirs."

Seeing Chen Ping kneeling and begging for mercy, Ying Xun's lips twitched involuntarily.

Is it really appropriate for a mighty demon god, the unparalleled powerhouse of our time, and the universally acknowledged final boss of the third installment of the Fengyun series, to kneel down and beg for mercy like this?
That's right, Chen Ping is none other than the Great Demon God Xiao Jingtian.

Although Xiao Jingtian had mastered the Four Great Techniques of Chaos, to ensure his safety, he secretly trained a loyal subordinate, Chen Ping, to act as a cover during the day.

Aside from Xiao Aoshi and Xiao Sanxiao, probably only Ying Xun knew about this.

Furthermore, given that Chen Ping's aura was off, he was quite certain that Chen Ping was Xiao Jingtian.

Due to the characteristics of the Four Great Masters of Chaos, Xiao Jingtian's power is abundant on the night of the full moon, making him appear like a demon god. However, during the day, his power leaks out, leaving him with only a fraction of his former strength, making him merely a first-rate expert.

Killing Xiao Jingtian right now would actually be a very easy thing.

But it would be a shame not to have a match with such a master.

More importantly, Ying Xun's Crimson Fire Divine Skill is not yet fully mastered, so he cannot refine Xiao Jingtian into Four Happiness Dumplings.

The so-called Four Happiness Dumplings refer to the fact that his body can be forged into four essences by the Crimson Fire Divine Skill.

In the original storyline, Xiao Jingtian was the one whose body was constantly being tempered by Lian Chengzhi's Crimson Fire Divine Skill, which produced four essences, which were eventually absorbed and used by Lian Chengzhi.

Thinking of this, Ying Xun withdrew his hand and said with a playful smile, "You are a member of Xuanhua Company, and you should be killed as soon as possible. But since you are so sensible, and I have a heart as vast as the ocean, then you... kowtow and beg for mercy a hundred times, and I will let you go."

"you……"

Ying Xun chuckled: "What about me?"

Seeing the smile on his face, yet the murderous intent emanating from him was so palpable, Xiao Jingtian's heart skipped a beat.

On second thought, it was Chen Ping who kowtowed and begged for mercy. What did it have to do with the Great Demon God Xiao Jingtian? At worst, he could take revenge on Chen Ping for all the humiliation he had suffered when his kung fu returned to its peak.

At this thought, Xiao Jingtian, who was using Chen Ping's name, kowtowed repeatedly, crying out, "Sir, spare my life! Sir, spare my life..."

"Haha, you're a sensible person, so I'll spare your life today."

Ying Xun laughed heartily, and then said meaningfully, "Remember, this is a one-time thing, there won't be a next time."

After a long while, an angry roar echoed through the mountains and forests.

"Damn it, Ying Xun, I'll kill you!"
