Decaying World

Chapter 110 Reputation Part 110 (Thanks to Alliance Leader Xie Yuexia Baige)
But, only half of the freezing air had dissipated when Chen Hushan suddenly realized he couldn't find Chen Sui anywhere!
The sparks on his body stopped at this point.

But the underlying sense of crisis has only increased!
and many more!

Suddenly, Chen Hushan realized what was happening and turned around.

Just then, a brilliant silver light suddenly appeared.

laugh! !

The silver light approached at high speed, breaking through the internal force barrier and leaving a hideous bloody gash on Chen Hushan's chest.

"Wait! We surrender!!" Chen Hushan was terrified and hurriedly shouted.

laugh!
At this moment, a silver longsword was precisely positioned in front of his forehead, and the one wielding the longsword was none other than Chen Sui.

Sweat beaded on his forehead, his expression was solemn, but a hint of barely suppressed joy shone in his eyes!

"We admit defeat! We give up!!" Chen Hushan took a few steps back and saw that the other team members were also defeated by the opponents. He didn't dare to say a harsh word.

"Go! All of you, go!!"

He ran backwards quickly for a few steps, and seeing that Chen Sui had no intention of chasing him, he turned around and fled in a disheveled state.

Seeing the disheveled backs of the people opposite him, Chen Sui breathed a sigh of relief and loosened his grip on his right hand, which had cracked from being clenched too tightly.

"Even the old version of the Qingfeng Sword, when combined with the secret technique of lightness, is still this powerful!" He took a deep breath, his scalp tingling.

Only now, when he truly applied what he had learned to real combat, did he realize just how powerful the martial arts of Qingfeng Temple really were.

In the past, Qingfeng Temple wouldn't have dared to claim a sure win against the Chimi Gang, one of the Three Sects and Six Gangs, let alone the Hundred Flowers Sect or the Flying Cloud Fist, even against opponents of the same level.

But now, using a secret technique, he was actually able to defeat the internal energy masters from the three sects and six gangs of the inner city, and these were internal energy martial artists whose cultivation was much higher than his own!

This means that Qingfeng Temple's martial arts are definitely much stronger than Chimi Gang's martial arts at the same level!
Chen Sui came to his senses and saw the incredulous expressions on the faces of the team members who had just made a move. Clearly, none of them had expected that he would be so strong now.

Although we often won in the outer city before, there wasn't such a stark contrast.

But this time, the opponent is the Red Rice Gang, one of the three sects and six gangs in the inner city!

It's a bit exaggerated that I could win against such an opponent.

"interesting."

A gentle male voice rang in everyone's ears.

More than ten people shuddered and turned to look in the direction of the sound.

Suddenly, a figure in red appeared in the dense forest not far away.

The newcomer had a calm and ordinary face, but possessed a captivating aura, sharp and upright.

More importantly, the character "赤" (criminal) was clearly embroidered on the cuff of this person's outer garment.

He's a master of the Red Rice Gang!!

Chen Sui's pupils contracted instantly as he recognized the logo.

"Master Yuan! You've finally arrived! They stole the amethyst we painstakingly found in the ruins and threatened us, saying this is Qingfeng Temple's territory and anyone who dares to report us to the authorities will be made to stay here forever!"

Chen Hushan, who hadn't gone far, immediately shouted, his expression exaggerated and his voice shrill.

"Amethyst?" The man in red's gaze naturally fell on the amethyst bag that Chen Sui and the others were protecting behind them.

Each amethyst crystal, resembling a date, gleams with a faint fluorescence under the light, making them quite beautiful.

"Interesting. A mere outer city sect dares to threaten my Chimi Gang exploration team. It seems that our Three Sects and Six Gangs have been inactive in the outer city for so long that everyone has forgotten what the ultimate martial arts are, and what the Three Sects and Six Gangs are!" The red-clothed man's figure flashed, as light as a falling leaf, and he flew to close the distance, landing more than ten meters in front of Chen Sui and the others.

"Please wait a moment, senior!" Huang Shan, who was standing next to Chen Sui, suddenly shouted when he saw that the situation was not good.

"My Qingfeng Temple's abbot, Lin Hui, has a close relationship with the Liu family in the inner city. The Wang family also shares a portion of many of the temple's businesses. If the Chimi Gang wants to purchase amethyst, they can discuss it in detail with the Wang and Liu families in the inner city!"

Seeing that things were going badly, she immediately started to pull the tiger skin.

"The Wang family and the Liu family? Do you have tokens from both families?" The man in red narrowed his eyes and asked in a deep voice.

"This!" Huang Shan stammered. These tokens were all in the hands of the abbot; how could they, as his subordinates, possibly have them on their person?

"Dare to lie to me!?" Upon seeing this, the man in red's expression changed. He immediately grabbed with his right hand, and a transparent tiger claw appeared out of thin air more than ten meters away, pressing down on Chen Sui and the others.

The tiger's claw was incredibly detailed, with even the tiger stripes clearly visible on its surface. It was over five meters long and four meters wide, resembling a giant, transparent tiger. With a single strike, it hurtled towards Chen Sui and the others.

But to his surprise, he didn't hit a single one when he slammed down.

The group from Qingfeng Temple instantly unleashed their movement techniques, moving with incredible speed, scattering like birds and beasts in the blink of an eye, disappearing from their original spot with the amethyst.

Bang!
The tiger's claws slammed into the ground, creating a trapezoidal crater more than four meters wide.

"So fast!?" The red-clad man, known as Master Yuan, had a glint in his eye, somewhat taken aback.

He knew very little about the outer city; he would usually come out to pick up the expedition team and then return, showing no interest in such desolate places.

He had encountered bandits from the outer city who tried to steal relics from the Fog Zone before, but he easily crushed them all with a single move.

But this time, things seem a little different.
"It seems that the martial arts of Qingfeng Temple have some merit."

The Wang family, the Liu family.
If he previously thought the other party was just bragging and exaggerating, now he's somewhat more convinced.

Martial arts schools in the outer city usually don't have such agility and speed.

With his mind racing, he looked at Chen Sui and the others who had regrouped, but said nothing more, his cautious mindset prevailing.

He immediately gave a wink to Chen Hushan of the expedition team.

"Withdraw," he transmitted his voice.

"But Master, that amethyst is a valuable item," Chen Hushan tried to explain.

"I said withdraw, don't you understand?!" Master Yuan's eyes turned cold, and layers of white light of internal energy emanated from his right hand.

".yes."

Chen Hushan was somewhat unwilling, but he could only lower his head and lead his team to turn around and retreat.

Master Yuan exhaled, turned around, took a step, and unleashed his movement technique.

"!!"

Suddenly, a human face appeared right next to him.

The face was less than two meters away from him!
This distance is a fairly close and safe range for anyone.

With just a raise of the hand, one can touch the other. For a martial artist with internal energy, this is practically equivalent to face-to-face contact!

"Since you're here, why rush to leave?" The newcomer raised his head slightly, revealing a fair and ordinary face, but with a kind of harmonious appearance that was hard to describe.

Master Yuan retreated swiftly, creating distance, but the shock of being suddenly confronted was still deeply etched in his mind. It caused his heart to race, his blood to circulate rapidly, and even a bead of cold sweat to appear on his forehead.

"Who are you!?" He knew very well that with his senses, it was impossible for him not to notice someone getting this close.

The opponent can get this close; they must be no ordinary person!

"You've all attacked my expedition team, yet you still don't know who I am?"

The newcomer slowly drew his sword, and an invisible breeze rippled around him.

"Guanzhu!!"

"The Abbot has arrived!!"

"It's the Abbot! You're all dead!! Hahaha!!"

The members of Chen Sui's expedition team immediately recognized the newcomer.

Since the battle at the Hundred Flowers Sect, everyone at Qingfeng Temple has gained a clear understanding of the strength of Lin Hui, the successor abbot.

That is a combat power that far surpasses that of a martial artist with perfected internal energy.

The subsequent battle at Flying Stone Gate undoubtedly proved this point.

At this moment, seeing Lin Hui appear, everyone, including Chen Sui, breathed a sigh of relief.

They knew that as long as the abbot was there, everything would no longer be a problem.

"Master Qingfeng??" Master Yuan stared intently at the other party, trying to determine his strength.

But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't see any trace of Zhou Tian.

There was no special aura of a summoner.

"You want to fight me?" he asked in a deep voice.

"Are you Zhou Tian?" Lin Hui didn't answer, but instead asked a question in return.

“I almost did.” Master Yuan narrowed his eyes. “Why are you asking this? At my current pace, I should be able to successfully enter this realm in three years at most!”

"Yes, you still have a glimmer of hope. Not..."

Clang!
In an instant, a brilliant silver light drew a silver line in the air and flashed by.

Lin Hui appeared instantly behind Master Yuan and slowly sheathed his sword.

"Then what right do you have to talk to me?"

Behind him, a huge gash had been cut open in the center of Yuan Tangzhu's chest, at some unknown time.

Blood gushed out like it was free, staining the ground red.

A large amount of internal organs flowed out of the opening in his abdomen, but he grabbed them with both hands and forced them back in.

With a whoosh, he didn't dare to reply and instantly ran away in the distance.

The sword didn't kill him, but it cleaved his internal energy, severely damaged his blood and qi, and injured at least 80% of his internal organs.

He'll need several years to recover before he can return to normal! Even if he does recover, it's uncertain whether his internal energy cultivation will be able to return to its current breakthrough point.

Upon seeing this, both expedition teams fell silent.

But the next second, cheers erupted from Qingfeng Temple, with everyone shouting loudly to vent their pent-up frustration and fear.

The Chimi Gang's expedition team members were all ashen-faced and remained silent as they followed Chen Hushan and ran away.

But before they had gone far, they were blocked by three elderly men with white hair.

Xue Meng, accompanied by two martial arts school elders, blocked the group.

With his internal strength at the sixth level, he now enjoys good food, drink, and pills at will, and his condition is much better than when he first joined.

Without further ado, he glanced at Lin Hui and saw a hint of killing intent in his eyes.

He immediately waved his hand.

"Clear the area, you two."

When the three of them attacked together, they could take down the exhausted expedition members with a single move.

Only Captain Chen Hushan could withstand some of the attacks, but he only lasted half a minute under Xue Meng's attack before his right leg was severed by a single blow, and he collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

"Are you crazy?! We are the Red Rice Gang!! The Red Rice Gang's expedition team!! You dare to kill me?! Aren't you afraid of being hunted down by our gang?!" Even at the end, he still harbored a sliver of fantasy about the Three Sects and Six Gangs.

"It's precisely because you're from the Red Rice Gang that we need to clean you up, you idiots."

Xue Meng suddenly accelerated his blade, severing Chen Hushan's head and sending him flying. Only then did he finally breathe a sigh of relief.

"Is this really okay?" He turned to look at Lin Hui, who was approaching.

"No problem. The Red Rice Gang won't turn against me because of these few ordinary internal energy martial artists," Lin Hui smiled. "Although I don't like it, I have to admit that background is still very useful in many situations."

The eldest sister is a newly promoted priest, and the eldest brother is a veteran priest. Behind them stands the powerful Wang family. Although the Chimi Gang is large, it is only on par with the Wang and Liu families.

They wouldn't risk a conflict with a divine-level force just for a few martial artists with internal strength.

If that were true, the Three Sects and Six Gangs wouldn't have been able to exist for so long and remain standing.

It is important to understand that any conflict will cause damage, and if there are too many conflicts, the foundation will be depleted.

"So you didn't kill that Hall Master Yuan? You only seriously injured him?" Xue Meng nodded knowingly.

“Not bad. A martial artist who is about to reach the Zhou Tian stage is still quite valuable. So I let him go. At the same time, someone needs to bring the reputation of my Qingfeng Temple into the inner city. Otherwise, if everyone keeps coming to bother me, I'll be kept busy to death.” Lin Hui laughed.

He turned around and looked at Chen Sui and the others who were approaching.

"Everything is fine now."

A harmonious smile appeared on his face as he opened his arms.

"Welcome back. No matter what you've been through, you're safe now."

Upon hearing this, Chen Sui and the others were almost all moved to tears.

It wasn't that I was moved, it was that I was terrified.

If Lin Hui had arrived even a fraction later, he would have been left only to collect their corpses.
