(27 There are still good people in the martial arts world)
The Xu brothers quietly stepped into the smoke-filled room, coldly staring at Yan
Feiyun and Sakuragi Hong, who were sleeping in each other's arms on the bed.
Xu Jianxiong looked at Sakuragi Hong's naked body, his eyes gradually flashing with greed. Xu Junxiong, however, drew his sword
and slowly aimed it at Yan Feiyun's chest. He muttered to himself, "Hero Yan, don't blame your brother for repaying kindness with enmity when you reach the underworld
. These days, no one in the martial world cares about loyalty anymore; everything is about profit
."
Xu Junxiong leered, "Hero Yan, I have no way to repay your life-saving grace. I will take good care of you
two guests from Japan. The same sleeping potion has already been spread in Miyamoto Ying's room. I will go over and
sever her tendons soon. After she's crippled, I will let her enjoy the pleasures of love to her heart's content. You don't need to
worry about them anymore...hehehe..."
Xu Junxiong's sword drew closer and closer to Yan Feiyun's chest. "Hero Yan, true kindness needs no thanks. Since you
saved us brothers once, I believe you should help us again, so that your head can bring us
fame and fortune...
" At this point, Xu Jianxiong's eyes flashed with murderous intent, and he thrust his sword down, intending to pierce
Yan Feiyun's heart and send him to his death.
At that moment, Yan Feiyun's eyes snapped open, and his hands swiftly closed,
trapping Xu Jianxiong's sword between his palms. Xu Jianxiong was startled and tried to pull his sword away, but it wouldn't budge,
held firmly by Yan Feiyun.
Xu Junxiong, standing nearby, immediately drew his sword and, taking advantage of Yan Feiyun's grip on his brother's sword, thrust it straight for
Yan Feiyun's throat. Yan Feiyun coldly snorted, twisting his hands, and Xu Jianxiong's sword instantly broke in two.
With a casual flick of his wrist, Yan Feiyun used the broken sword in his hand to block Xu Junxiong's attack.
Knowing his martial arts were far inferior to Yan Feiyun's, Xu Jianxiong's mind raced. He pulled a
dagger from his robes and, with a flick of his wrist, launched it towards Yingmu Hong. He winked at his brother, whispered,
"Retreat!" and turned to rush towards the door, intending to escape.
However, Yan Feiyun ignored Xu Jianxiong's dagger, instead leaping up and landing in front of the two Taiyuan heroes,
blocking their path. Meanwhile, Sakuragi Niji, lying on the bed, suddenly bit down, catching the dagger in her mouth.
At this point, the Xu brothers fully understood that Yan Feiyun and his brother hadn't been affected by their
prized sleeping potion at all; they had only pretended to be asleep to lure them into a trap.
Xu Junxiong, sweating profusely, said, "Master Yan, this is just a misunderstanding..." Xu Jianxiong, however,
said indignantly, "Yan Feiyun! You, a martial arts master, actually used this tactic of pretending to be asleep to deceive us brothers!"
Faced with Xu Jianxiong's "accusation," even the experienced Yan Feiyun was taken aback. He knew that
he was facing two utterly shameless scoundrels, so he smiled faintly and said, "It is indeed my fault for resorting to such methods
. However, as the saying goes, all's fair in war. Otherwise, I would not have been able to ascertain the true intentions of you two brothers, Xu."
Sakuragi Nijiya jumped naked from the bed to Yan Feiyun's side. She spat out the dagger, then
looked at the Xu brothers with disdain. "The moment we got on the carriage, Brother Feiyun suspected your motives. Humph!
Trying to use sleeping potion in front of me, an expert in sleeping potions and hidden weapons? It's like showing off your limited skills before an expert!"
Xu Junxiong was shocked by Yingmu Hong's words. "Impossible! How could our brotherly self-inflicted injury ruse
have any flaws? Impossible!"
Yan Feiyun slowly said, "After you two killed all the archers with your swords, I asked you how you
knew I was in Poison Dragon Valley."
Xu Junxiong shouted, "I said that Wu Xiaotian had already spread the news in the martial world that you were in Poison Dragon
Valley! Where did I go wrong in that statement?
" Yan Feiyun smiled. "That statement is completely wrong. Given my sworn brother's
arrogant nature, how could he possibly publicize the fact that he plotted against me back then? He would only have revealed that I'm still alive to my
enemies. Therefore, since you two received this information, it means you are suspicious."
Xu Junxiong never dreamed that such a simple sentence would expose his
true intentions, allowing Yan Feiyun to see through their treachery. He was completely stunned.
Sakuragi Niji sneered, "I sensed the drug as soon as it entered the room and immediately passed an antidote pill from
my mouth to Brother Feiyun's." She was skilled in assassination, and poisoning was one of her methods, so she always
carried poisons and antidotes with her.
"You two don't need to try to harm Ying anymore," Sakuragi Niji continued. "Since I already suspect you,
I had Ying swallow an antidote pill before I came here."
At this point, the Xu brothers finally realized that their plan was doomed to failure from the start.
Xu Junxiong suddenly knelt on the ground, desperately kowtowing to Yan Feiyun and Xu Jianxiong, "Hero Yan, you are so kind and righteous... Since
you saved us brothers once, you will surely forgive us for our momentary lapse of judgment..." Seeing his brother still standing
aside, he quickly pulled Xu Jianxiong to the ground as well, and the two knelt together, still saying,
"A great man doesn't hold grudges against a petty person! Hero Yan, you are so righteous, you have saved so many people in your life... You already
saved us before, so letting us go is saving our lives again...
" Sakuragi Hong frowned as she looked at the two brothers, glancing at Yan Feiyun, thinking, "Brother Feiyun, will you
let these two shameless scoundrels go because of a moment of weakness?" Thinking this, she immediately interjected, "Brother Feiyun,
it's one thing for these two to want to harm us. But they even tried to drug the injured Ying!
Think about what they said earlier, so shameless! If Ying and I fell into their hands, what would become of us?
"
Xu Junxiong, hearing Sakuragi Hong's words, knew she was sincerely advising Yan Feiyun not to show mercy. The two
exchanged a glance, and suddenly the brothers attacked together. One thrust his sword at Yan Feiyun's groin, while the other thrust his sword down...
They attacked upwards, aiming for Yan Feiyun's throat.
Although their attacks were swift, Yan Feiyun was prepared. Sakuragi Niji's words had moved him;
he didn't care much about their ingratitude, having long since seen through the fickleness of human nature. But the thought that these
two despicable men would stoop so low as to use sleeping potion on Miyamoto Ying filled him with rage.
Xu Junxiong, attacking Yan Feiyun's groin, was overjoyed that his sword was about to strike when he suddenly
realized his gaze had shifted, moving upwards from Yan Feiyun's groin. He saw the ceiling of the room
, and he saw his brother's sword almost pierce Yan Feiyun before being kicked away. Then,
he saw his headless body swaying precariously. He suddenly understood: his head had been
severed by Yan Feiyun's sword; what he had just seen was his head falling to the ground after being cut off.
Yan Feiyun, arriving late but striking first, used his broken sword to decapitate Xu Junxiong while simultaneously kicking Xu
Jianxiong in the chest. Yan Feiyun's kick was driven by rage; Xu Jianxiong immediately coughed up blood,
the blood spurting from where his brother's head had been severed gleaming. Beside Yan Feiyun, Sakuragi Hong casually flicked her wrist, returning Xu Jianxiong's
dagger to its rightful owner, plunging it into his heart.
In that instant, the two Taiyuan heroes, who had shown no gratitude whatsoever, lay dead on the spot.
The two heroes' death screams were earth-shattering, alerting Miyamoto Ying, the inn's old manager, and a
waiter. When Miyamoto Ying arrived, long sword in hand, Yan Feiyun and Sakuragi Hong had already hurriedly donned their robes.
Yan Feiyun smiled and said, "Sister Ying, it's alright. These two were indeed plotting something nefarious." Miyamoto Ying didn't ask further,
simply nodding. The number of people who had died by her blade was not small, so she didn't care about the two corpses in front of her
.
The shopkeeper and waiter turned pale with fright when they saw the bodies on the ground, one of which was headless.
The white-haired shopkeeper asked in a trembling voice, "This...this gentleman, what...what happened?"
Yan Feiyun took a silver ingot from Xu Junxiong's pocket and handed it to the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, these two were bandits.
Take this silver and use it to bury them!" Sakuragi Hong searched the bodies of the Xu brothers and placed all
the silver on them in the old shopkeeper's hand, "Shopkeeper, don't be afraid. These two
killed each other because of a dispute over the spoils; it has nothing to do with us. Take this ill-gotten wealth!"
Yan Feiyun couldn't help but chuckle, thinking, "It seems Sister Hong is even more generous with other people's money than I am." The shopkeeper shook
his head repeatedly, not daring to accept so much silver. Sakuragi Nijigan giggled and stuffed the silver into the old shopkeeper's hand, "Shopkeeper,
please take this silver!"
The old shopkeeper's eyes lit up as he looked at the silver, and he finally forced a smile and nodded, "Alright!"
In an instant, a sudden change occurred. The old shopkeeper moved with lightning speed, his grappling hand tightly gripping Sakuragi Nijigan
's hand holding the silver, while his other hand used a throat hook to subdue her. This move truly caught Yan Feiyun and his companions off guard.
The three had been extremely cautious, but they hadn't expected the elderly shopkeeper to be such a master.
The old shopkeeper had already made his move, and the waiter also waved his hands, sending a barrage of hidden weapons
flying towards Yan Feiyun and Miyamoto Ying. The technique vaguely resembled that of the hidden weapon expert who had ambushed Miyamoto Ying in Poison Dragon Valley that day. Although the attack was sudden,
Yan Feiyun and Miyamoto Ying were both masters among masters, and these hidden weapons were no match for them; they were all deflected one by one. The waiter
didn't continue the attack, but coldly stared at Miyamoto Ying.
Yan Feiyun clasped his hands in a fist and said, "I was blind to your greatness. May I ask which senior masters you two are?"
The waiter pointed sharply at Miyamoto Ying and said, "Yan Feiyun, we only want this Japanese woman's life! This matter
has nothing to do with you. If you want the woman in my companion's hands dead, then don't interfere!"
Yan Feiyun suddenly realized that the Xu brothers had come for him, but this shopkeeper and waiter were probably
like Feiyunzi—friends or relatives of the masters previously killed by Miyamoto Ying.
Miyamoto Ying calmly faced everything. "Miyamoto Ying is here. Release her. No matter how many of you there are,
I will fight you alone."
The waiter snorted, "Japanese witch, you've got it wrong. I, Lin Pengfei, am here for revenge, not to
challenge you. If you want that woman to live, put down your knife!" It turned out that this person was Lin Baiwei's adopted son,
Lin Pengfei, who was famous in the martial arts world for his hidden weapons.
The old shopkeeper tightened his grip on her throat, and Sakuragi Niji immediately had difficulty breathing, her face turning red.
Without saying a word, Miyamoto Ying threw her long knife to the ground. "Release her."
Lin Pengfei laughed and said, "Hahaha! Good, indeed straightforward! But you need to do one more thing to release her!
" Yan Feiyun stared intently at the old shopkeeper, looking for an opportunity to rescue Sakuragi Niji. However, the shopkeeper was extremely
cunning. Aside from his grip on Sakuragi Niji's throat, he remained completely hidden behind her, leaving Yan Feiyun no
opportunity to strike.
Actually, Miyamoto Ying was also searching for the old shopkeeper's weakness, but she couldn't do anything about it for the time being. Since she was at his mercy
, she had no choice but to compromise, "What is it? Speak."
Lin Pengfei laughed loudly, his laughter containing a lewd undertone, "I want you to take off all your clothes!
Let us admire the body of the famous Japanese swordsman! Hahaha!"
Sakuragi Niji panicked upon hearing this, struggling to utter a few words, "Ying...don't...don't save me...just
avenge me..." The old shopkeeper tightened his grip, and Sakuragi Niji immediately showed a pained expression, unable to speak any more
.
"How about it? Are you going to take it off or not?" Lin Pengfei shouted. Actually, Lin Pengfei wasn't a lecherous man;
he deliberately threatened Miyamoto Ying to humiliate her and break her will.
Yan Feiyun was burning with anxiety. "Lin Pengfei! I know you want to avenge your godfather, Lin Baiwei. Lin
Baiwei is a man of some importance. If he knew you were using such methods, do you think he would be proud of you?"
Lin Pengfei threw his head back and laughed wildly. "Hahaha! Yan Feiyun, stop with the high principles! I, Lin Pengfei, only know how
to avenge my father! I care about nothing else!"
"Fine," Miyamoto Ying said coldly, then reached out and untied the belt of her robe. Although she wasn't
as accustomed to being naked in public as Sakuragi Niji, she had undergone various extreme training exercises from a young age and didn't
feel that public nudity was a breach of chastity, unlike other women at the time.
Lin Pengfei, unaware of Miyamoto Ying's mindset, thought his scheme had succeeded and laughed even more unrestrainedly. "
Hahaha! Hurry up and let me see your body! Hahaha!"
Yan Feiyun, his eyes blazing with fury, gritted his teeth and said, "Lin Pengfei, you're supposed to be a renowned martial arts
master, why are you acting so despicably?"
Lin Pengfei spat, "Pah! Yan Feiyun, stop talking nonsense! Hurry up and take it off!"
Gong Benying said indifferently, "Okay." She slowly took off her robe, revealing her snow-white neck and
shoulders. Coupled with her stunningly beautiful face, it made everyone's breath catch in their throats. If Lin Pengfei hadn't already
known from Shangguan Jing's message that Gong Benying was a beautiful young woman, he really wouldn't have believed that his adoptive father had been
cleaved in two by this cold-faced woman.
Gong Benying, who had put down her long sword, was no longer the peerless swordsman who could kill with a single blow, but a stunningly
beautiful woman. Her robe slowly fell to her chest, and her fair and delicate body was about to be revealed to everyone
.
At this crucial moment, the old shopkeeper suddenly coughed up blood, screamed, rolled on the ground for a while
, and died. Sakuragi Niji was also released from his grip on her throat. Lin Pengfei quickly shifted his gaze from Miyamoto Ying to
a middle-aged man standing behind the old shopkeeper.
This man had a square face and a fierce expression, and was slowly retracting his right fist. It was this man who had just
punched the old shopkeeper in the head; the force of that punch had spread throughout the old shopkeeper's body, shattering his bones and preventing him from using
his strength to finish Sakuragi Niji before dying.
The square-faced middle-aged man shook his head. "I, Du Kefu, have always been an upright and honest man, and I have never plotted against anyone
. I never imagined that I would be forced to break my vow tonight."
Yan Feiyun's heart skipped a beat. It turned out that this man was Du Kefu, the younger brother of the invincible fist Du Kefei, who had died under Miyamoto Ying's blade
. He was momentarily confused as to why Du Kefu had intervened, but politeness was paramount, so he immediately clasped his hands in
thanks, "Thank you for your help, Brother Du!"
Du Kefu looked at the old shopkeeper's corpse on the ground with regret, "I only intended to injure him, but
he was ruthless, seizing this young lady's vitals… If I hadn't killed him on the spot, he might still
have harmed her even after being seriously injured… Alas!
" Sakuragi Niji, who had just escaped danger, walked to Du Kefu and knelt gracefully on the ground, "This humble woman is deeply grateful for your rescue, great hero
. Please accept my bow."
Lin Pengfei shouted loudly, "Du! What do you mean by this? Your own brother also died under
the blade of this Japanese woman! Why are you helping our common enemy instead?
" Du Kefu said solemnly, "My brother Du did indeed die by the sword of this Japanese woman. But their duel was fair and
square; my brother Du was simply outmatched and died. As martial artists, especially when facing foreign visitors,
we should strive for victory through genuine skill and honor, not resort to despicable means to coerce
our opponents! We, the martial artists of the Central Plains, must win with honor and dignity, and even in defeat, we must lose with spirit. As long as righteousness endures,
the martial arts world of the Central Plains will always have hope!"
His words were truly powerful and resounding, and Yan Feiyun and the other two couldn't help but feel a deep respect for Du Kefu.
Lin Pengfei's face flushed red and then turned pale. "You, surnamed Du! Are you trying to go against me?"
Du Kefu shook his head. "Brother Lin, you misunderstand. I simply don't want the reputation of the Central Plains martial arts world to be
tarnished by some shameless scoundrels. If you want to fight this Miss Miyamoto, I will not interfere."
Miyamoto Ying had already picked up the long sword she had thrown aside earlier and stared coldly at Lin Pengfei. "Miyamoto Ying is ready to
fight at any time."
Lin Pengfei snorted coldly. "Fine! That night in Poison Dragon Valley, I let you escape. Tonight, I will fight
you to the death right here and now!" He put his hands inside his clothes, gripping the hidden weapons tightly, his eyes fixed on
Miyamoto Ying, ready to strike at the first sign of weakness.
Miyamoto Ying simply stood there casually, her long sword still sheathed, but Lin Pengfei couldn't find
any opening. Time ticked by, and Lin Pengfei felt his hands growing numb, beads of sweat
trickling down his forehead. He knew that if he didn't act soon, he would lose his will to fight. At that point, even if he did
act, he would only suffer a crushing defeat.
Lin Pengfei made a decisive move, his hands flashing out from his chest. But the moment he moved his shoulder,
Miyamoto Ying's sword was already raised. If the enemy didn't move, she wouldn't move. If the enemy moved, she would move first. Lin Pengfei had barely
extended his hands, before he could even launch his hidden weapon, when Miyamoto Ying's long sword had already drawn an arc in the air,
slashing down at him.
Lin Pengfei let out a heart-wrenching scream, his hands and the hidden weapon falling to the ground. It turned out that
Miyamoto Ying's sword had severed both of Lin Pengfei's hands at the shoulder with lightning speed. Severed by this serious injury, no matter
how brave Lin Pengfei was, he could only roll and scream on the ground.
Miyamoto Ying, having successfully landed her strike, immediately sheathed her sword. She glanced at Yan Feiyun, thinking, "Brother Feiyun
doesn't like my excessive killing. Although this man was so despicable as to use Hong to blackmail us, I still spared his
life. He…he should be satisfied with my actions, right…?" She showed no outward sign, but inwardly she
cared deeply about Yan Feiyun's opinion.
Yan Feiyun had completely expected this outcome. He also deeply despised Lin Pengfei's vile methods,
so he didn't have much of an opinion about Miyamoto Ying crippling him with a single strike.
Du Kefu, watching from the sidelines, clapped loudly, "Excellent swordsmanship! Excellent!"
Miyamoto Ying quickly clasped her hands in a fist salute, saying, "My swordsmanship is nothing to boast about; I'm sorry to have made Brother Du laugh."
Du Kefu said seriously, "Miss Miyamoto's swordsmanship is fierce; no wonder several of the top ten masters have already fallen to you."
"Under the blade." He slowly raised his fist. "Now it's my turn to settle this with your blade."
Miyamoto Ying shook her head repeatedly. "Brother Du is my junior sister's savior. I will not fight with you
..."
Sakuragi Niji quickly ran between them. "Brother Du, you acted bravely just now. I admire you greatly. Why don't
we have a drink to reconcile?" Yan Feiyun echoed, "Brother Du, swords and spears are merciless, fists and feet are indiscriminate
. We are all men of principle, why must we settle this?"
Du Kefu said sternly, "This Miss Miyamoto traveled to the Central Plains to challenge masters from various schools in pursuit of the pinnacle of martial arts
, right? My brother Du was defeated and killed by your blade, right?" Miyamoto Ying
could only nod at every word he said.
"Since Miss Miyamoto can come to the Central Plains for the sake of martial arts, why can't I, Du Kefu,
also fight for the sake of martial arts? I helped you two guests from Japan because I didn't want them to think that the martial arts world of the Central Plains is full
of scoundrels like Lin Pengfei! But I still want to fight for the Du Family Fist, for my deceased brother, and for Miss Miyamoto."
Hearing Du Kefu's words, Yan Feiyun and the other two couldn't help but feel deep respect for him. Sakuragi Niji whispered to Yan Feiyun,
"Brother Feiyun, there are still righteous people in the martial world. You don't need to be too disheartened about the current state of the martial arts world."
Yan Feiyun loudly replied to Du Kefu, "Brother Du, I greatly respect your intentions. However, a duel
is something that can't be stopped once it's started. Please reconsider, Brother Du."
Du Kefu laughed loudly, "I've been venturing into the martial world with my brother since I was thirteen. To make a name for ourselves, we
've challenged many martial artists, and many masters have died under our fists. We can't only be allowed to challenge others, but not accept challenges from others! We've 　　understood this principle
since the first day we entered the martial world ." 　　 The three of them listened silently to his words, nodding in agreement. 　　 Du Kefu raised his fists. "Miss Miyamoto, I fight for the Du family's martial arts and the martial arts world of the Central Plains. If you 　　respect me as a man, please show no mercy later. If I die by your blade, I will not 　　complain; I will only say that I am outmatched!" He spoke with absolute certainty, leaving no room for negotiation. 　　 Left with no other choice, Miyamoto Ying gripped her sword hilt tightly in her right hand, preparing to fight.
