Excessive ferocity due to caution

Chapter 342 "Sword Demon and Human Demon, Are They Nameless?"

Ren Wudi pointed his finger out of the sky, allowing all the martial arts practitioners present to see that boundless galaxy.

It is so profound, so vast.

At first, the starlight was faint, but later it became as bright as fire, spreading across the sky!

The starlight burned everything away.

This also includes the pinnacle of martial arts over the past three hundred years... Not Spring Needle.

After a long time, the Milky Way dissipated.

Wei Xuezhong stood opposite Ren Wudi, his eyes glazed over, looking lost and forlorn.

he asked:

"What kind of finger technique is this?"

Ren Wudi stood with his hands behind his back, his body as straight as a pine tree.

"Ren created this himself."

Wei Xuezhong murmured.

In the end, however, he did not utter a single word.

Ren Wudi said:

"You're right."

"Ren entered the martial arts world by fighting, but he relied too much on being the first to act, and went astray."

"Fortunately, a benefactor bestowed upon me a sword, shattering all illusions and vanquishing my inner demons, thus enabling me to wield the Heavenly Finger!"

"Today, in the face of battle... I have not used my first move even once."

Wei Xuezhong looked up:

"How does Fan Qingxue's Flying Immortal Sword compare to your Heavenly Finger?"

Ren Wudi:

"Above Ren."

Wei Xuezhong laughed three times:

"Good! Good! Good!"

"Talented people emerge in every generation, each leading the way for hundreds of years!"

"From this day forward, you are invincible... truly invincible under heaven!"

After he finished laughing, he breathed his last and died.

Ren Wudi glanced sideways at Zhao Yi, who was slowly wiping his Tang sword with a cloth.

His eyes still burned with fighting spirit, but it had subsided considerably.

"You're not going to challenge me to a martial arts duel anymore?"

Zhao Yi noticed the change in his mindset and smiled slightly.

Ren Wudi also laughed:

"another day."

"Today, there are more important things to do."

After saying that, he looked at Su Xingcan, who was not far behind Zhao Yi.

"Mr. Su, please come with me."

Su Xingcan sighed and said with a wry smile:

"You still won't let me go."

Ren Wudi shook his head.

"Ren did not come to kill you."

"Instead, he was entrusted by someone to protect you from being assassinated by the King of Qi's men."

Su Xingcan was taken aback:

"Entrusted to protect me?"

"Who is it?"

Ren Wudi said:

"Fan Qingxue".

Su Xingcan's eyes lit up upon hearing this:

"Where are the others?"

"Why aren't you having a drink?"

Ren Wudi remained silent for a moment before replying:

"He's dead."

Su Xingcan's smile froze.

"Are you... joking?"

Ren Wudi shook his head.

"Ren never jokes."

"He intended to kill Ren and used the Flying Immortal Sword... This sword is ruthless and deadly. Fan Qingxue could have killed Ren, but ultimately chose to stop."

"He entrusted me with the task of rescuing you from the trap set by the King of Qi."

Su Xingcan flicked his sleeve and said angrily:

"impossible!"

"Absolutely impossible!"

After saying that, his eyes rolled back, and he collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Su Qingyao quickly helped Su Xingcan up.

Zhao Yi glanced at the unconscious Su Xingcan and calmly said to Ren Wudi:

"You can leave now."

"With me protecting him, nothing will happen."

Ren Wudi frowned slightly, but then he remembered the scene on the Star Gazing Platform where Zhao Yi confronted him for Su Xingcan, and his doubts were dispelled.

If Zhao Yi wanted to kill Su Xingcan, he wouldn't have done this.

Moreover, having reached such a level of strength, they generally possess their own pride, tending to be straightforward in their actions and words, and having no interest in playing any underhanded tricks.

Ren Wudi cupped his hands to Zhao Yiyi and said:

"I have gained much from today's battle. I will now go into seclusion to recuperate. Once I emerge, I will certainly come to challenge the sect leader to a duel of swordsmanship!"

Zhao nodded.

"Please go ahead."

Ren Wudi gave Zhao Yi a deep look, then turned and left.

The assassins brought by Wei Xuezhong also scattered and fled because of Wei Xuezhong's death.

After watching them all leave, Zhao Yi breathed a slight sigh of relief.

Oh shit.

Pretending to be cool is exhausting.

After fighting Fan Qingxue, Ren Wudi suddenly seemed to have a breakthrough and actually touched upon the rules.

If a fight breaks out, I'll be completely outmatched right now!

However, Zhao Yi had already memorized the gesture that had just been made from outside the window.

Unfortunately, his physical constitution wasn't strong enough, so even if he comprehended the power of the rules, he couldn't use it.

Otherwise, you will end up like Fan Qingxue—after flying to immortality with a sword, your life will come to an end!

They quickly left the Burial Valley with Su Xingcan and returned to the territory of Lu State.

...

a few days later.

In the martial arts world, the legendary battle at Burial Valley that day caused quite a stir.

The King of Qi, who plotted to kill all the heroes of the land...

An old eunuch who has lived for three hundred years...

Ren Wudi, who could shatter a galaxy with a single finger...

And then there's that incredibly mysterious leader of the Jie Sect, whose true power remains unknown...

Inside,

Zhao Yi gained fame.

Ren Wudi gained martial arts skills.

Only King Qi... lost everything and became a muggle.

After the battle, the rulers of the other five kingdoms were all terrified and secretly became more wary of the King of Qi.

This guy... has too much ambition and too ruthless methods!

If you're not careful, it will seize your destiny by the throat!

After returning to Qi, Su Xingcan fell seriously ill and never recovered.

Zhao Yi only received his side quest at this moment.

Cure Su Xingcan's illness.

It's true that your major is relevant to your job.

Using the influence of the Star Gazing Tower, Zhao Yi found a woman in a tavern in Peicheng, Lu State.

"Coming to a tavern but not drinking is strange; someone will be watching you."

Zhao Yi walked into the tavern, sat down opposite Hongyu, and shook off the snow.

Red Fish watched Zhao Yi warily.

Who are you?

Zhao Yi replied:

"Su Xingcan's friend."

"You know... without the help of the crows, your idea of finding the ghost scholar within the territory of Lu is nothing short of a pipe dream."

Red Fish's eyes were sharp, and his hand had already reached for the sword at his waist.

She didn't know Zhao Yi.

But Zhao Yi seemed to know everything about her.

The red fish felt uneasy.

Zhao Yibing didn't mind and poured himself a pot of wine:

"Since you haven't returned to Qi, it means you've abandoned your identity as an assassin."

So... put down your sword.

"I'm not here to kill you."

The red fish remained silent for a long time before slowly withdrawing its hand.

"What do you want from me?"

Zhao Yi sighed:

"After learning of Fan Qingxue's death, Su Xingcan became very ill."

Red Fish's eyelashes trembled slightly.

"He...is he sick?"

"What illness?"

Zhao Yi replied:

"Mental illness."

"Actually, I didn't expect... his feelings for Fan Qingxue to be so deep."

"A powerful imperial advisor, the owner of the Star Gazing Tower, and a swordsman, an assassin... I really can't imagine how these two people got together."

Red Fish sighed.

"I am not a doctor."

Zhao Yi stared into her eyes and said, word by word:

"But you are his medicine."

The red fish was stunned:

"I?"

Zhao Yi:

"I think that after Fan Qingxue died, you didn't return to Qi because you must have received some kind of will from her..."

"But that's not important. What I want to ask you is... can you imitate Fan Qingxue's handwriting?"

The red fish recalled the little things about its teacher and couldn't help but look out the window:

"meeting."

Zhao Yi grabbed her and led her out of the tavern.
