The Legend of the Condor Heroes: From Being Expelled from Peach Blossom Island

Chapter 81 Dead End
Chen Xuanfeng's knees buckled and he knelt down. He struggled to crawl two steps to Mei Chaofeng's side and tremblingly embraced her.

"Ruohua, Ruohua... Ruohua," he murmured, his throat feeling blocked, managing to squeeze out only these few words with all his might. In his last moments, he called out Mei Chaofeng's real name.

Ruohua's first cry was one of utter despair after confirming that Mei Chaofeng had died.

The second sound, "Ruohua," though only two characters long, is permeated with a suffocating sorrow that makes one's soul weep.

The third sound, Ruohua, represents his regret. Perhaps he regrets leaving Peach Blossom Island back then, or perhaps he hates his own powerlessness, watching helplessly as the person he loves dies before his eyes. This hatred soon finds an outlet.

He looked up at the archers hidden in the dense forest, his eyes bloodshot, his teeth grinding together. He put down Mei Chaofeng and leaped into the air, rushing into the forest.

The archers fired again, but Chen Xuanfeng charged forward fearlessly, deflecting the arrows with his hands. Several arrows were blocked by his strong muscles and bones, while others were clearly powerful and pierced his body.

Chen Xuanfeng seemed oblivious, and with arrows hanging from his body, he was about to pounce on the archer in the blink of an eye.

At that moment, a whooshing sound was heard in the air. Niu Wanrou, who had been waiting nearby, swung two copper maces at Chen Xuanfeng's head. At the same time, two short spears twirled and thrust at Chen Xuanfeng's ribs. Compared to Niu Wanrou's fierceness, Lu Zhiyi's attack was more cunning and ruthless.

Even with his exceptional physical strength, Chen Xuanfeng dared not take Niu Wanrou's copper mace head-on. He suddenly turned around in mid-air to avoid the mace, then clenched his fists and smashed the short spear squarely into her.

Lu Zhiyi felt his hands tremble violently, almost losing his grip on the gun, and staggered back a few steps.

Sister Niu's double maces missed their mark, and she unconsciously took two steps forward, completely exposing her side and rear to Chen Xuanfeng's view.

Their battlefield skills are best suited for charging into battle on horseback. They would inevitably suffer losses when fighting martial arts practitioners on foot, especially since neither of them is skilled in light footwork. After missing a move, they would be unable to change their position, leaving their entire body vulnerable.

Chen Xuanfeng's lightness skill was superb. He lightly stepped on the ground and rolled in mid-air to appear behind Niu Wanrou. His Nine Yin White Bone Claw was about to grab Niu Wanrou's back.

At this moment, Yu Xiaowu waved his hands and shot out more than a dozen flying knives, but Chen Xuanfeng was already disregarding life and death. He gathered his power throughout his body, and even if the flying knives pierced his body, he would kill Niu Wanrou with his claws first.

Seeing that Niu Wanrou had no chance of survival, amidst the whistling of flying knives, two completely different hidden weapons shot towards her at high speed. The slightest sound was masked by the other flying knives, like a venomous snake suddenly flicking its tongue in the dark.

Chen Xuanfeng was focused on killing Niu Wanrou and was completely unaware of the two hidden weapons. Just as he was about to strike, the two weapons hit him directly in the eyes.

At the same time, a long whip lashed out and locked one of his hands, while his other hand was struck by an iron carrying pole. A burly figure crashed straight into Chen Xuanfeng in mid-air, and a heavy object struck his right leg.

Just as Chen Xuanfeng's claws touched Niu Wanrou and he only had time to tear her clothes, his eyes were immediately blinded by a hidden weapon, and at the same time his left hand was struck heavily by a carrying pole, almost breaking it on the spot.

His body was also knocked several meters away by the burly figure, and his right knee was smashed by a heavy object.

If he hadn't been so focused on killing that he was on the verge of madness and disregarded his own safety, he wouldn't have been ambushed by so many people. Unfortunately, the attack was a calculated move against the unsuspecting man, and now Chen Xuanfeng has suffered multiple serious injuries, is blind, and has two lines of black blood left behind. The hidden weapon was clearly poisoned.

Despite his severe injuries, Chen Xuanfeng deftly refrained from screaming, letting out only a few muffled groans. He was thrown to the ground, struggling to his feet, too weak to attack again. He simply crawled inching towards Mei Chaofeng's location, following his memory. Niu Wanrou, who had narrowly escaped death from the Nine Yin White Bone Claw, was deathly pale despite her usually carefree nature. She stepped back to Lu Zhiyi's side, and seven other figures gathered together, walking towards Chen Xuanfeng.

These seven people were none other than the Seven Freaks of Jiangnan. The two hidden weapons were the poisoned darts of Ke Zhen'e, the Flying Bat, which blinded Mei Chaofeng in the original story, but this time they were used by Chen Xuanfeng.

The whip that entangled Chen Xuanfeng's hand came from Han Baoju, the Horse King; the iron carrying pole was the personal weapon of Nan Xiren, the woodcutter of Nanshan; the one who knocked Chen Xuanfeng away was Zhang Asheng, the Laughing Buddha, who was skilled in hard kung fu; and the one who broke Chen Xuanfeng's right leg was the weight of Quan Jinfeng, the hermit of the bustling city.

The skilled scholar Zhu Cong and the Yue Maiden Swordswoman Han Xiaoying stood beside Ke Zhen'e, but did not attack together.

As fellow local strongmen in Jiaxing, the Seven Heroes of Jiangnan were somewhat acquainted with Lu Zhiyi, especially Han Baoju, the Horse King, who had been trading horses for many years and had some business dealings with Lu Zhiyi.

The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan went to the Jin Kingdom to search for Li Ping but failed. After a brief return to Jiaxing, they were approached by Lu Zhiyi. Upon hearing that they were going to hunt down the Black Wind Duo, Ke Zhen'e, who was already righteous and had an irreconcilable feud with Chen Mei and the other two, immediately agreed.

This time, Wu Chengyu mobilized most of his forces to encircle and annihilate the Black Wind Duo.

Lu Chengfeng recruited martial arts figures, including Lu Zhiyi and other descendants of Yue Fei's army, Qu Lingfeng, and the Seven Eccentrics of Jiangnan, who were also in Jiaxing.

Aside from his own Wu clan, which he didn't use, he also recruited members of the Beggars' Sect in Jiangnan. However, due to their uneven quality, he didn't recruit them for safety reasons. All those who could come came, aiming for a decisive victory and preventing the Black Wind Duo from escaping to the northern desert.

With Mei Chaofeng dead and Chen Xuanfeng powerless to resist, tonight's encirclement plan was a complete success.

"Copper Corpse Chen Xuanfeng, back then you and Iron Corpse killed my elder brother Ke Bixie and blinded me. Today, Mei Chaofeng is dead, and you have met the same fate as me. It is true that cause and effect are inevitable. What do you have to say now?"

Ke Zhen slammed his iron staff into the ground with a vicious thud, his words filled with both deep-seated hatred and a hint of satisfaction.

Chen Xuanfeng completely ignored them. The Seven Heroes of Jiangnan were never in the eyes of the Peach Blossom Island disciples. If they hadn't been surrounded and ambushed repeatedly tonight, he and Mei Chaofeng would never have been hurt by these people. He only had eyes for the three fellow disciples of Peach Blossom Island.

"Qu Lingfeng, Lu Chengfeng, Wu Mianfeng, come out here!" He was blind and didn't have much time left to live after being poisoned.

After a sigh, Qu Lingfeng arrived at the scene on crutches. He had just arrived just as Chen Xuanfeng was being hit and sent flying by a series of severe blows. Although he hated Chen Mei and Chen Chaofeng to the core, seeing Mei Chaofeng dead and Chen Xuanfeng not far from death, he couldn't help but feel a sense of shared sorrow.

Following closely behind Qu Lingfeng was Wu Chengyu. He was not the original incarnation and never considered himself a disciple of Peach Blossom Island, even if he had been. Therefore, Wu Chengyu did not share Qu Lingfeng's sentiments.

Now he only felt joy in his heart. After more than two years of transmigration and many plans, he finally managed to take down the Black Wind Duo. From this moment on, Wu Chengyu finally changed the development of the original story for the first time.

Qu Lingfeng didn't know how to start the conversation, and Wu Chengyu was lost in thought, so the room fell silent.

At this moment, Lu Chengfeng arrived at the scene in a sedan chair, accompanied by his entourage.
