Rebirth of a Stunning Beauty (Complete) - Chapter 38 (End)

~Chapter Six: Duel of

Two Heroes, Section Seven~ Gongzi Yu's fists struck Song Qing from the left and right. His left fist glowed with golden light, golden flames erupting from it; his right fist glowed with black light, pale blue sparks crackling around it. As the two fists shattered the air, they produced a roar that was both like a mountain collapsing and a surging thunderbolt!

His fists were fast, and his movements were even faster. In almost an instant, his fists had already reached Song Qing! He lowered his head, his gaze fixed on Song Qing's chest. He never did anything without certainty. At this moment, he couldn't act rashly and gamble on not being able to withstand Song Qing's gaze.

Song Qing hadn't practiced lightness skills, and her movements were far slower than Gongzi Yu's.

She hadn't practiced hand-to-hand combat either. She possessed formidable strength, no weaker than the Third Young Master's, but she didn't know how to dodge or parry!

However, she didn't panic at all. She calmly stared at Gongzi Yu's fists, at those fists that could almost shatter everything.

Just as Gongzi Yu's fists were about to strike Song Qing, almost everyone was entangled with their opponents and unable to break free in the short term!

At this critical moment, two jet-black fists suddenly appeared from Song Qing's left rear, like two black lightning bolts, meeting Gongzi Yu's fists head-on!

"Boom!" The four fists collided simultaneously, producing a deafening explosion.

Gongzi Yu staggered backward; the fists that intercepted his blows possessed a terrifying power capable of destroying mountains.

The owners of those two fists were two men completely covered in black cloth, revealing only pairs of deathly gray eyes, devoid of any spirit. The medicine dolls belonging to Hua Rong were sent flying backward like cannonballs by Gongzi Yu's terrifying punches. They crashed through the ship's hull behind them, landing on a large warship near the flagship, smashing two huge holes in its deck!

The arm that had clashed with Gongzi Yu had already shattered into pieces during the backward flight, splattering black pus and blood everywhere!

This was a truly unexpected surprise, one that even Gongzi Yu hadn't anticipated. Hua Rong's drug-infused figures had been lurking within the navy, never revealing themselves. And just like the drug-infused figures under Gongzi Yu's command, they were lifeless, their presence undetectable even to Gongzi Yu!

Gongzi Yu was forced back seven steps, a distance long enough for Song Qing to counterattack.

Song Qing quietly gazed at Gongzi Yu, her eyes meeting his astonished gaze as he looked up at her.

Gongzi Yu's pupils contracted sharply, a chill running down his spine as if an electric current had passed through his body.

He saw a pair of incredibly eerie eyes. Those eyes, each pupil divided into three parts—black, silver, and fiery red—were now spinning wildly. Everything in the world seemed to lose its color, leaving only black, white, and red, forming a massive vortex that relentlessly pulled at Gongzi Yu's soul with unparalleled suction.

Gongzi Yu roared, punching himself in the forehead, jolting his head back and breaking free from Song Qing's gaze. He severed the gaze that had bound Song Qing's eyes!

Song Qing was startled. Although Gongzi Yu's punch to his forehead had left him bleeding, Song Qing's demonic gaze hadn't truly harmed Gongzi Yu.

"Excellent skill!" Gongzi Yu exclaimed, closing his eyes and lunging at Song Qing again.

For a master like Gongzi Yu, there's no need to use his eyes to determine the enemy's location. He only needs to lock onto the opponent's aura, and even if the opponent is incredibly fast, they won't be able to escape his entanglement. Song Qing, though startled, remained calm. She now understood that Gongzi Yu wouldn't be defeated by her eyes, so she simply turned her gaze elsewhere.

She met the eyes of one of the Ten Iron Guards.

That Iron Guard had been attacking Nu Hengmei and Xiao Tianci together with the other six Iron Guards, but Gongzi Yu was forced back by the two who appeared like ghosts, and then inexplicably punched himself, attracting his attention. Out of concern, he glanced at Song Qing, who had inexplicably forced Gongzi Yu to close his eyes.

It was this glance that caused the Iron Guard's gaze to meet Song Qing's.

The instant their eyes met, the Iron Guard's mountain-like, burly body swayed twice, then his bones made a series of cracking sounds as if they were being violently ground in a meat grinder, before collapsing to the ground like a lump of mud.

He died. He didn't possess the overwhelming strength of Gongzi Yu; he couldn't withstand Song Qing's demonic gaze!

At the moment this Iron Guard fell, the other six Iron Guards, who were fighting Nu Hengmei and Xiao Tianci, saw their comrade die in a gruesome and inexplicable manner. Startled, they simultaneously looked in the direction the dead Iron Guard had been gazing.

They wanted to understand what had caused their comrade's inexplicable death.

Thus, the gazes of the remaining six Iron Guards met Song Qing's.

The Third Young Master had once said that Song Qing was a key to victory.

Although Gongzi Yu had treated Song Qing with great caution, even personally attempting to kill her, he still hadn't anticipated the sudden appearance of two drug-infused figures.

Now, Gongzi Yu's punch towards Song Qing was intercepted again, this time by those two drug-infused figures.

Drug-infused figures didn't possess any special martial arts techniques; they were simply fast, strong, and physically powerful.

They never knew fatigue, never feared pain, and would never stop unless shattered to pieces!

Hua Rong called them Death Warriors—warriors already dead, warriors who posed a deadly threat to the enemy!

After their first clash with Gongzi Yu, rescuing Song Qing, the two Death Warriors were thrown onto another large warship next to the flagship, crashing through the deck and falling into the hold.

However, instead of leaping out, they blasted two large holes in the hold and submerged in the sea.

The holes they created were so large that seawater gushed into the large warship like a fountain. By the time the naval soldiers arrived at the hold, the holes were beyond repair. The ship slowly sank. The two Death Warriors

, however, submerged to the flagship's hold, blasting two more large holes there. They then entered the hold along with the seawater, leaped upwards, crashed through three decks, and landed on the top deck.

They appeared just in front of Gongzi Yu, who was attacking Song Qing.

Both Death Warriors only had one arm left, but they still had legs.

Although their legs weren't as agile as their arms... But their strength was far greater than their hands!

They blocked the path of Gongzi Yu's fists with their chests, then each launched a kick, sweeping towards Gongzi Yu's ribs from the side. The kicks sliced through the air with a sharp, whistling sound.

The speed of these two kicks was unbelievable; as they hurtled through the air at high speed, only two afterimages remained.

Gongzi Yu's two punches could shatter the upper bodies of the two drug-using men, but he himself would inevitably be struck by those kicks.

Although Gongzi Yu's protective aura was formidable, if he were struck by these two unorthodox kicks, he would surely cough up blood and suffer a significant loss of skill.

Therefore, Gongzi Yu was forced to make a choice; he flew backward, narrowly avoiding the kicks at the last second.

After forcing Gongzi Yu back, the two Death Warriors let out a hoarse roar like a ferocious beast and pounced on him.

The flagship was taking on water and was slowly sinking.

With no worries about anything else, Song Qing focused on dealing with the Six Iron Guards. However, although her demonic eyes were powerful, it was still quite difficult to handle six experts at once.

But this didn't matter. Because Xiao Tianci and Nu Hengmei were also by the side of the Six Iron Guards!

Song Qing fixed his gaze firmly on the six Iron Guards. Although he couldn't kill them all at once, he had them temporarily immobilized, standing frozen like puppets.

Nu Hengmei and Xiao Tiansai immediately seized the opportunity and launched a thunderous offensive.

During their earlier encounter with the seven Iron Guards, Nu and Xiao had discovered that these seven burly men were virtually impervious to blades and spears, possessing extremely formidable external martial arts skills. However, this didn't mean they were indestructible; everyone has fatal weaknesses.

Nu Hengmei grabbed one of the Iron Guards' arms and delivered a powerful uppercut to his armpit.

With a thunderous roar, the guard's arm severed at the shoulder, and a spurt of blood gushed from the wound.

The armpit is the most difficult area to train. Even the best external martial arts skills rarely extend to the armpits, soles of the feet, and navel.

The Iron Guard had been exerting all his strength to resist Song Qing's demonic gaze. The six of them had barely managed to withstand the strange pressure of Song Qing's demonic gaze together, but now, suddenly, one of his shoulders was severed, and the indescribable pain threw his mind into disarray.

Song Qing's demonic gaze seized the opportunity, instantly severing all the bones, meridians, and internal organs in his body.

He collapsed helplessly to the ground, unable even to utter a death scream.

Xiao Tianci, carrying a silver bow and holding a three-foot-long golden arrow in each hand, flew to the two Iron Guards and plunged the golden arrows into their navels.

The Seven Iron Guards were still very careful about the navel, a vital point; their belts were made of pure steel, and the buckles above their navels were made of steel blocks two inches thick.

However, this was not enough to stop Xiao Tianci's golden arrow. His arrow easily pierced their belt buckles and penetrated their navels. The pain of their weak points being breached caused their power to dissipate, and Song Qing's demonic eyes seized the opportunity!

In an instant, the six Iron Guards were dead!

Xiao Tianci and Nu Hengmei immediately rushed towards Zuo Tianzong, Zhao Ziyang, and Zhou Lingfei, who were engaged in a fierce battle with Lian Zhou Luo'er, Qin Ni'er, Shui Muwei, and Luo Shengjing, and who were gaining the upper hand, forcing the four women into a perilous situation.

Song Qing, having killed seven Iron Guards, had suffered a significant loss of power and had to pause his attack to regulate his breathing, while simultaneously watching the situation closely.

****

Seven medicine men and the Medicine Master launched a combined attack from below on Qin Lei, Qin Feng, Qiao Wei, Uncle Li, Third Young Master, Hua Rong, Tie Jian, and Min Rou.

Mr. Yao's goal was to capture Min Rou alive, while the seven drug-wielding men aimed to kill Qin Feng and the other six, or at least severely injure them if they couldn't kill them!

Tie Jian's lightness skill was the weakest, so he was the first to be caught by a drug-wielding man, who slammed a heavy punch into the sole of his foot.

Tie Jian's thick-soled leather boots shattered into powder, his foot bones exploding with a sound like firecrackers.

However, Tie Jian's foot didn't break. Instead, it was the drug-wielding man's fist that shattered.

Although Tie Jian's lightness skill was the weakest, in terms of toughness and resilience, he was undoubtedly the best among them all!

The Iron Hand Divine Skill, when cultivated to the thirty-third level, would be an invincible divine skill. While Tie Jian hadn't yet reached the thirty-third level, he had already reached the thirty-second level, making his Iron Hand Divine Skill second only to Tie Kongshan.

When the drug-using man's fist struck the sole of his foot, he concentrated all his power in the center of his foot, instantly transforming his entire foot into something resembling flames, emitting a faint, almost transparent glow.

Thus, although his shoe was shattered, his foot remained unharmed. The drug-using man's fist, however, shattered into pieces due to the clash of Tie Jian's full power.

Although Tie Jian blocked the drug-using man's punch, the terrifying impact still caused him to lose his balance, flying backward like a cannonball and crashing heavily into the sea.

The drug-using man's fist, though shattered, retained its power, relentlessly pursuing Tie Jian. Before

Tie Jian's fist even touched the water, the drug-using man had already caught up, aiming a blow at him with his severed, blood-splattered wrist.

Tie Jian roared like a tiger, his entire body erupting in crimson flames, which then turned blue, and gradually became almost transparent.

He threw a punch at the medicine man's severed wrist, the fist, as big as a sand pot, clashing violently with the broken wrist. Then, he slammed towards the sea at an even faster speed. The medicine man's severed wrist shattered all the way down to the elbow, but he only paused briefly in mid-air before catching up with Tie Jian like a shadow.

With his other intact fist, he slammed it hard into Tie Jian's chest!

With a cracking sound, three of Tie Jian's ribs broke. He spat out a mouthful of blood, splattering the medicine man's face and head, before crashing into the sea with a thud. The medicine man's intact fist was also shattered by Tie Jian's protective firepower, leaving only a severed wrist!

But this injury was nothing to the medicine men. As long as they could move, their offensive power would not be diminished in the slightest. Without hands, they could attack with their severed wrists; without severed wrists, they could attack with their broken elbows, their shoulders, their legs, or even their heads!

This was a terrifying warrior, relentless and relentless. Even the mighty Tie Jian was utterly powerless against the drug-wielding man's relentless pressure!

Tie Jian tumbled into the sea, his body heat instantly evaporating large amounts of water, releasing plumes of steam, but he was immediately swallowed by the surging current.

Water has always been the natural enemy of fire!

The drug-wielding man, without the slightest hesitation, plunged into the sea, chasing after Tie Jian as he sank.

****

The second to be caught by the drug-wielding man was Qin Lei. Qin Lei's lightness skill was not weak, but his large size and the weight of his Thunderous Blade hampered his performance, making him the second slowest among the eight, after Tie Jian.

Seeing the drug-wielding man's fist aimed at his feet, Qin Lei, though powerful, wasn't arrogant enough to dare to take the punch head-on like Tie Jian.

Qin Lei's martial arts were unrestrained and domineering; his style was for offense, not defense!

So Qin Lei abruptly halted his charge, his body twisting sharply in mid-air, changing from head to toe to head down and feet up, before slashing at the drug-using man.

Drug-using men weren't indestructible; they merely possessed immortality. They could sacrifice their own bodies for a single punch, as they typically only needed one to kill their opponent. Their minds were incredibly simple, almost devoid of intelligence, but the remnants of human wisdom they retained were put to full use on the battlefield!

The drug-using man chasing Qin Lei realized the instant Qin Lei drew his blade that Qin Lei could cleave him in two from head to toe, and that his punch would miss!

So the drug-using man chose to dodge, his body shifting from an upward charge to a sideways movement, barely avoiding Qin Lei's strike.

Qin Lei's strike missed, the gleaming blade cleaving the side deck of the flagship, creating a gaping hole over three zhang long. Seawater rushed in, and combined with the holes created by the two Death Warriors, the flagship began to tilt and sink rapidly.

The drug-wielding man, having dodged Qin Lei's strike, braced himself against the mast leaning towards him, using the momentum to pounce on Qin Lei. Qin Lei, however, was too exhausted to regain his footing and fell headfirst.

The drug-wielding man punched Qin Lei in the waist; Qin Lei, unable to retaliate, could only parry with his sword. With a crisp clang, the drug-wielding man's fist struck the blade of the Thunderclap Blade. This divine weapon, second only to celestial weapons, was actually shattered by the punch, cracking several times and scattering fragments of iron.

The impact of the punch sent Qin Lei crashing onto a large warship, while the drug-wielding man's fist, which had shattered the Thunderclap Blade, disintegrated into a cloud of black blood mist.

Tai Lei plummeted towards the warship, its armored decks teeming with hundreds of archers—all from the Northern Frontier Divine Bow Battalion. Hundreds of dark iron arrows were aimed at Qin Lei, who was falling towards them from the sky. With a command, hundreds of powerful bows fired simultaneously, a black meteor streaking towards Qin Lei with a frenzied shriek.

Qin Lei was facing away from the warship, and the hundreds of arrows were aimed directly at his back. If he hadn't turned around in time, he would have been riddled with arrows.

Fortunately, although Qin Lei had nowhere to gain leverage, he could use the force of the punch the medicine man had just thrown at him.

He flipped in mid-air, turning from facing away from the warship to facing it, and then swung his Thunderous Blade, slashing at the rain of arrows. The gleaming blade flashed and disappeared, streaking across the arrow rain like a meteor, blasting hundreds of arrows into a shower of iron filings!

After Qin Lei unleashed his strike, the Thunderclap Blade shattered with a resounding clang.

~Chapter Six: Duel of Two Heroes, Section Eight~

Qin Lei, gripping the Thunderclap Blade now only two feet seven inches long, roared. A brilliant blade of light erupted from the broken edge, transforming into a massive blade formed entirely of that light, identical in shape to the Thunderclap Blade.

He gripped the blade with both hands and slashed down at the warship. With a deafening roar, the large warship was sliced in two by the blade's light.

The archers of the Northern Frontier Divine Archery Camp, wherever the blade passed, perished instantly.

The remaining archers and naval soldiers beneath the warship were thrown into chaos. The ship, now split in two, was rapidly sinking with its prows pointing upwards and its fins downwards. The water warriors, who could swim, grabbed planks or pieces of wood and jumped into the water, while the archers of the Northern Frontier Army's Divine Archery Battalion, who couldn't swim, looked ashen-faced, clinging desperately to parts of the warship, awaiting their doom.

Qin Lei landed on the bow of the sinking warship, while the medicine man pursuing him landed on the stern opposite him.

The two stared at each other silently, preparing for the next attack.

****

The third to be caught was Min Rou.

The medicine man grabbed her slender ankle and dragged her towards the flagship. Minrou looked down and saw that the one grabbing her was her master, Master Yao. She exclaimed in surprise, "Master, what are you doing?"

Master Yao pulled her down, saying in a deep voice, "Young Master wants to eliminate Qin Ren and the others today, but he doesn't want to kill you. He specifically ordered me to pull you out of the battle. Come with me, don't get involved!"

Minrou's heart skipped a beat, and she said, "Didn't Young Master Yu say he wanted to be friends with the Third Young Master and the others? How could this be...

" Master Yao sighed. He said, "Rou'er, you are too naive! Do you think the struggle for power is a game? Friends? Emperors have no friends! Your father is learned and has the talent to govern the country. Didn't he teach you these things?"

As he spoke, Master Yao had already landed on the flagship's deck. He reached out and pulled Minrou onto the deck as well, holding her pulse point with one hand, and said, "Come with your master. After Young Master kills Qin Ren and the others, you can meet Young Master again!"

Minrou's face was ashen, her teeth clenched, and she said angrily, "Third Young Master and the others are right, Young Master Yu is indeed a ruthless person! How could he... how could he use me to deceive Third Young Master?" Master

Yao said, "Minrou, Young Master isn't deceiving you. Actually, Young Master likes you; he liked you from the first moment he saw you. For you, he's even willing to give up pursuing the ultimate martial arts. Don't make things difficult for Young Master! Come, come with me!"

With that, Master Yao dragged Minrou towards the deck, intending to pull her onto a nearby warship.

Nine large warships had already surrounded the flagship, two of which were already sinking. The remaining seven had their sailors either busy rescuing people or using the ropes tied between the two ships to reach the flagship. The scene was chaotic. Minrou was restrained by Master Yao and helplessly allowed him to drag her along. Just as Master Yao was about to lead Minrou to the ship's railing, two streams of tears suddenly welled up in her eyes. She said, "Master, you're wrong. If Third Young Master dies, I will definitely kill Gongzi Yu. It's Third Young Master I love!"

Master Yao's heart skipped a beat, and he stopped in his tracks. He turned around, looking at the sorrowful Minrou. In her tear-filled, fragile eyes, Master Yao saw a resolute determination.

Master Yao knew that Minrou hadn't lied. He hesitated. If he spared Minrou, she would kill Gongzi Yu. And Minrou was Gongzi Yu's inner demon; if there was anyone in the world most likely to kill Gongzi Yu, it was Minrou.

Having understood this, Master Yao made a sudden decision. Although Gongzi Yu was tormented by his inner demon, preventing Master Yao from killing Minrou, Master Yao was loyal to his master and couldn't care less about such things!

He gritted his teeth, glanced at Minrou with sorrow, and said in a voice filled with endless desolation, "Minrou, you are my good disciple. You are the only disciple I have ever taken in my life... But, things in this world are always unsatisfactory. For the sake of the young master, for the sake of the people, for the sake of the great cause of the Central Plains, I have no choice but to sacrifice you!"

As he spoke, he trembled as he raised his right palm above Minrou's head, slowly bringing it down towards her crown.

Minrou looked at this once kind but now cruel old man, at his hand that was striking her without hesitation, and felt a chill run through her.

She didn't know why she was so important. She didn't understand why her master had to kill her. Was it just because she had said she would definitely kill Gongzi Yu? Did her master believe she was capable of killing Gongzi Yu? Minrou wasn't afraid of death, but dying at her master's hands filled her heart with sorrow and resentment.

Inner demons are not something that human power can overcome, not even someone as strong as Gongzi Yu. Although Master Yao was helpless, he had no choice but to kill Minrou.

The force of Yao Xiandi's palm had already ruffled Min Rou's long hair.

****

The fourth person caught up by the medicine man was Hua Rong.

However, Hua Rong intentionally allowed herself to be caught by the medicine man. The instant she rushed into the air, she had already completed the preparation of a terrifying spell.

She glanced down at the medicine man who was already throwing punches at his legs.

Immortal Slaughtering Sword!

Three Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi were released simultaneously. Two of them struck the medicine man's shoulders, severing his arms from his shoulders, while the third spun in the air and cut into the medicine man's right hip bone, severing his right leg at the root.

Without arms and a leg, even the most powerful medicine man, if not dead, would lose his ability to move. Having refined medicine men herself, Hua Rong naturally knew best the power and weaknesses of medicine men, so she unleashed the limit of what she could currently do—the three Immortal Slaughtering Sword Qi that she could only release within seven days—all at once!

Having expended nearly half her magic power to cripple the drug-man's arms and legs, Hua Rong felt no loss whatsoever.

She understood that with her constitution, if she were to be struck by the drug-man, there would be only one outcome: death. Therefore, she chose to use nearly half her power to save the drug-man's life!

The drug-man, now missing its arms and legs, fell downwards, and Hua Rong struck out with a palm strike from afar. The

"God-Slaying Hand," powered by magic!

A surging tide of magic power flowed into the three enormous wounds on the drug-man's body. It quickly accumulated and then exploded, instantly turning the drug-man into a mass of black pus and blood.

Hua Rong, after this series of blows, was pale, with fine beads of sweat on her forehead. Somewhat exhausted, she descended from the air towards the armored vehicle.

The drug-man that even Ximen Wudi couldn't defeat back then had been defeated by Hua Rong, whose current strength was slightly inferior to Ximen Wudi's!

If Ximen Wudi could know this in the afterlife, he would probably be quite gratified. After all, Hua Rong was his disciple, and her achievements, even surpassing Ximen Wudi's in the application of magical skills, would surely bring him joy in the afterlife.

****

At this moment, Qiao Wei was also caught up by a drug-wielding man.

Although he didn't possess powerful magic like Hua Rong's "Immortal Execution Sword," his "Timeless Trace" possessed a deadly magic.

He could freeze time around him, while he himself remained unaffected.

He activated "Timeless Trace," and the moment he did, the drug-wielding man chasing him abruptly stopped, his body suspended in mid-air, like a frozen shot.

Qiao Wei, however, remained as fast as lightning. He swiftly moved to the drug-wielding man's side, grabbed the arm that was in the act of throwing a punch, and then ripped it off at the shoulder. Yet

, no black blood gushed from the wound, because everything inside the drug-wielding man's body had also frozen in time with the power of "Timeless Trace."

Qiao Wei casually tossed aside the severed arm, but it didn't fall; instead, it remained beside the drug-man.

Now, the entire three-zhang-diameter, earth-shaped space around Qiao Wei was enveloped by the power of his Timeless Traceless Technique!

Qiao Wei then grabbed the drug-man's other arm and, in the same manner, ripped it off.

Next came the drug-man's legs, and finally, its head.

After Qiao Wei forcefully ripped off the drug-man's head, six parts floated within the range of his Timeless Traceless Technique—two arms, two legs, a bald torso, and a head.

This seemingly simple dismantling process had already left Qiao Wei drenched in sweat, his forehead dripping with perspiration.

The drug-man's strength was too great; in a pure strength contest, Qiao Wei was no match for it.

Therefore, using Timeless Traceless Technique to subdue the drug-man had consumed almost ninety percent of Qiao Wei's power; now, he only had thirty percent of his peak internal energy remaining.

After dismantling the medicine man, Qiao Wei immediately canceled the Timeless Impermanence spell. As the eerie space around him that had restricted time disappeared, the medicine man, now broken into six pieces, began to gush black blood from its wounds, and all six fragments fell into the sea.

Qiao Wei quickly landed on the flagship's deck to regulate his breathing.

Qiao Wei's exertion was even greater than Hua Rong's, but this didn't mean Hua Rong was stronger. In fact, Qiao Wei's skill was definitely superior to Hua Rong's; he simply couldn't use magic to directly remove the medicine man's arms and legs from a distance like Hua Rong.

Medicine men are very stamina-hungry; they don't easily allow themselves to be injured. Only when they can achieve a victory will they fight back without hesitation. Hua Rong's Immortal Execution Sword had now reached the realm of being invisible and formless. Although she could only unleash three strikes within seven days, its power was not much less than that of Ximen Wudi's Immortal Execution Sword back then.

Even Qin Xiaoyao and Tie Kongshan couldn't dodge Ximen Wudi's Immortal Execution Sword back then, and could only take it head-on. Naturally, the medicine man couldn't dodge it either

. However, the medicine man could dodge Qiao Wei's fists and feet. Therefore, although Qiao Wei's skill was deeper than Hua Rong's, dealing with the medicine man was more tiring for him.

But despite the hardship, Qiao Wei was quite gratified after defeating the medicine man.

His otherworldly divine skill, "Unforgiving Time," had reached its peak, and he believed his current skill might have surpassed Ximen Wudi's!

Ximen Wudi couldn't defeat a medicine man one-on-one, but Qiao Qitian could!

****

Uncle Li's hands were fast.

The Illusionary Demon Hand moved at will. As long as Uncle Li wanted his hand to appear in a certain place, it would definitely appear there. This was

because his Illusionary Demon Hand could ignore space and attack at will, and the Illusionary Demon at Will was the highest level of the Illusionary Demon Hand!

Like Qiao Wei, he practiced divine skills beyond human comprehension, and his skill had always been on par with Qiao Wei's!

He dodged the punch thrown by the medicine man and lightly sliced the medicine man's elbow with his palm.

The medicine man's elbow quickly turned into fragile crystals, broken by the force of his own punch.

If it were an ordinary master, Uncle Li only needed to strike a certain part of the opponent to naturally infuse his power into the enemy's body, causing the enemy's entire body to instantly turn into brittle crystals, collapsing at the slightest touch.

But now Uncle Li was facing a medicine man, and what flowed through the medicine man's body was not blood, but medicinal juice. Their meridians were also different from ordinary people, even broken into countless pieces. This prevented Uncle Li's power from flowing into the medicine man's body through his meridians.

Therefore, each of Uncle Li's strikes could only injure a small part of the medicine man's body.

But Uncle Li didn't care, because he had plenty of time and patience! He was faster than the medicine man, and even if the medicine man knew where he was, he couldn't hit him.

He only needed to keep fighting the medicine man, slowly weakening his body.

Uncle Li landed on the sea, his feet touching the water.

The medicine man also landed. However, the medicine man clearly lacked lightness skill; as soon as he touched the water, his legs sank into the water. But the medicine man

's explosive power was terrifying; he suddenly kicked off the ground. A muffled thunderous explosion resounded in the water, sending up a spray of white water more than five zhang high. He used the recoil from this kick to launch himself like a cannonball towards Uncle Li.

Uncle Li fought the medicine man, his feet on the water, maneuvering the medicine man around, his hands occasionally tearing through the air to strike the medicine man's body. The medicine man had learned his lesson; whenever Uncle Li tried to hit his joints, he would block with the rest of his body. This unintelligent medicine man now understood perfectly well that Uncle Li couldn't take him down in one go.

But the medicine man also couldn't kill Uncle Li. The Medicine Man didn't possess any light-body skills; he relied entirely on explosive power to keep himself afloat and run swiftly across the sea. Each time he stomped on the water, it created a thunderous roar and a wave several meters high.

Although the Medicine Man's momentum was immense, against a master of Uncle Li's caliber, even with his impressive display, he wouldn't gain the slightest advantage.

On land, Uncle Li wouldn't have such an easy time, but now, on the sea, with his superb skills and the advantage of the Medicine Man's lack of light-body skills, Uncle Li had already secured victory; it was only a matter of time.

****

Qin Feng, at all times, was as dashing as the wind.

After witnessing the battle between Hua Rong, Qiao Wei, Uncle Li, and the Medicine Man, Qin Feng was fully aware of the Medicine Man's weaknesses.

The Medicine Man was fierce and fast, but lacked agility.

Speed is not the same as agility. Some people can run very fast, but they can't dodge a single arrow. Some people may be slow, but even if they stand still and let arrows hit them, they can still dodge them.

Arrows travel fast after being released, but unless shot by a super archer like Xiao Tianci, ordinary arrows will never curve in the air. Therefore, arrows are fast, but not agile.

The medicine people don't possess light-body skills, so even though their explosive power allows them to jump very high, run very fast, and even run on water, their agility is far from sufficient.

They only move straight ahead, desperately chasing and instinctively dodging.

Having understood this, the once terrifying medicine people are now insignificant in Qin Feng's eyes.

His light-body skills are the most agile; although not as fast as the Third Young Master, in terms of agility, he is number one!

He didn't need to use his feet for leverage while flying; as long as there was wind, he could ride the wind!

And now, at sea, there was always wind, so Qin Feng could freely unleash his agility!

Qin Feng rode the wind, weaving through the air like a nimble snake. The medicine man's fists struck with lightning speed, but each punch missed its mark.

Finally, the medicine man's upward momentum waned, and he involuntarily plummeted downwards, while Qin Feng seized the opportunity to pursue.

He always maintained a distance of three zhang from the medicine man, his right hand constantly striking out, wave after wave of sword energy relentlessly striking the medicine man's joints. In no time, he shattered the joints of the medicine man's right arm, severing his arm from the elbow.

The medicine man landed on the sea surface. At the moment of impact, he bent his knees and pushed off with force. With a deafening roar, a wave nearly ten zhang high shot into the sky, and the medicine man was also swept up by the wave, pouncing on Qin Feng again.

Qin Feng turned in mid-air, riding the wind to dodge the medicine man's earth-shattering punch.

Qin Feng merged into the wave, just as water seamlessly blended into the sea.

After reaching its highest point, the wave didn't crash back down; instead, it transformed into a gigantic sword, unleashing a deafening roar as it struck the medicine man in the air!

Beside the massive water sword, countless tiny water droplets transformed into miniature swords, emitting a piercing whistle as a rain of arrows pierced the air, accompanying the giant water sword as it struck the medicine man.

The medicine man had no way to dodge. Beneath his feet was the gigantic water sword, and beside him were countless smaller water swords. In the fading sunlight, the thousands of water swords reflected a breathtaking crimson light—the light of death!

"Boom!" The medicine man was engulfed by the water swords. First, the small water swords pierced his body like a storm, then the gigantic water sword, starting from his feet, completely swallowed him inch by inch!

Strength isn't everything. When two equally matched individuals clash, or when their strength is roughly equal, victory always belongs to the one who has mastered superior technique!

Want to win by strength alone? Sure, but only if you possess overwhelming power!

~Chapter Six: Duel of Two Heroes, Section Nine~

Qin Lei leaped up from the bow of the ship, gripping his broken sword in one hand, and slashed fiercely at the medicine man opposite him. A flash of sword light appeared and disappeared, like a bolt of lightning suddenly streaking across the sky.

The medicine man let out a hoarse, strange roar, bent his knees, and exerted force with his leap, the powerful explosive force shattering the stern where he landed. Wood chips rained down into the water, riddling a group of naval soldiers who had fallen in!

He rammed headlong into Qin Lei, his incredible speed leaving a long afterimage behind him as he flew through the air. He crossed his arms in front of his head in a defensive stance, actually trying to block Qin Lei's sword energy!

In that instant, Qin Lei realized that his blade energy could cleave the drug-man in two evenly from above, but judging from the force of the drug-man's leap, the two halves would inevitably collide with him from opposite sides!

The drug-man possessed unparalleled fighting instincts; he understood that against an opponent like Qin Lei, if he wanted to survive, he would have no way to kill Qin Lei. Therefore, he chose to mutilate himself, hoping for a mutual destruction.

Qin Lei could dodge; with his mastery of the Overlord Blade, his blade had long since reached a level of effortless control, and he could easily retract his blade to avoid the drug-man's devastating collision.

But Qin Lei did not dodge.

His blade was the Overlord Blade, a blade that charged forward without hesitation, a blade of certain death!

He roared and continued to slash, his rough face filled with a ferocious, beast-like grin.

"Bang!" The blade energy struck the drug-man's crossed arms, shattering into pieces by the drug-man's powerful body.

Following the blade energy was a dazzling, mercury-like blade of light that slashed through the medicine man's arms, severing them silently. Then

, the blade struck the medicine man's head, plunging downwards and cleaving his body in two perfectly evenly from the top of his head.

But the severed halves didn't stop; they continued their momentum, hurtling towards Qin Lei's chest with the same speed and force as before, like two bolts of lightning in the night!

If struck by either halves, even Qin Lei would be pierced through the chest!

Qin Lei was a Tyrant Blade, and he always used his Raging Lightning Blade to unleash his ultimate techniques. But no one knew that Qin Lei himself was the unique Tyrant Blade, just as Qin Feng was the Heavenly Sword.

Every part of Qin Lei's body was a blade, and every part could be used as a blade!

Suddenly, a blindingly bright light erupted from his left chest—a blade of light so intense it could burn the eyes. Two silver blades shot out from his chest, as if someone had stabbed him in the back, piercing his body and emerging from his chest.

The two blades met the two halves of the drug-man's body with a deafening roar. The two halves of the drug-man's body were shredded to pieces by the blades, and Qin Lei was also sent flying backward by the brute force of the drug-man's charge, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Both were still severely injured, but Qin Lei survived. With a "thud," Qin Lei fell into the sea, splashing water everywhere.

At this moment, Qin Feng had completely shattered his opponent with his water sword. Seeing Qin Lei fall into the water, Qin Feng didn't hesitate and rushed towards the spot where Qin Lei had fallen into the water like a gentle breeze.

****

The Medicine Immortal's palm had already landed on Min Rou's head.

Min Rou's pulse point was seized. She was powerless to resist and could only close her eyes and await death.

Suddenly, Yao Banxian swayed twice, a wisp of green smoke rising from his back, followed by the smell of burning clothes and flesh.

Yao Banxian spat out a mouthful of blood, steaming hot and seemingly boiling. He whirled around, his eyes blazing with fury as he stared at the massive, mountain-like man who had suddenly appeared behind him.

The man's face was sharply defined, as if carved by a knife, and his fiery eyes gleamed with a scorching light.

He wore a black, close-fitting outfit, a large, fiery red cloak billowing in the wind. He had a person already unconscious tucked under his left arm, and his right hand was pressed against Yao Banxian's vital point on his back.

Blood gushed from Yao Banxian's mouth as he asked in a trembling voice, "You…who are you?"

The man smiled slightly and said, "Tie Kongshan."

Tie Kongshan!

Tie Kongshan had already infiltrated the East China Sea navy. The day Qin Feng told Qin Xiaoyao who he would be bringing to the East China Sea, Qin Xiaoyao immediately ordered Tie Kongshan to be summoned and to follow Qin Feng and his group into the East China Sea.

How could an old fox like Qin Xiaoyao not have a backup plan? Qin Xiaoyao had already agreed with Qin Feng to eliminate Gongzi Yu at sea upon their return to the Central Plains after conquering the Great Sun. However, Gongzi Yu was also a cunning and treacherous man. Without absolute certainty, how could Qin Xiaoyao dare to send all three of his sons into the tiger's den? Therefore, Tie Kongshan also came, but he disguised himself as a naval soldier, hiding on another warship, never showing himself in public. Even the Third Young Master and the others were unaware that their side had this hidden pawn, Tie Kongshan.

After Tie Jian was knocked into the sea by the drug-wielding man, Tie Kongshan also entered the water. Before the drug-wielding man could kill Tie Jian, Tie Kongshan killed him, rescued Tie Jian, and then boarded the flagship, rescuing Min Rou from Yao Banxian's clutches.

Upon seeing that the newcomer was Tie Kongshan, Yao Banxian was filled with utter despair.

Tie Kongshan's powerful and domineering true energy surged into his body like flames, completely destroying his power; Yao Banxian was now a cripple.

Seeing that Yao Banxian's palm lingered, and hearing the name "Tie Kongshan," Minrou opened her eyes in surprise, only to find Yao Banxian collapsed to the ground, and a mountain-like giant standing before her.

"You, you're the Third Young Master's uncle?" Minrou asked, her voice already trembling. "You killed my master?" A teacher for a day is a father for life; even though her master wanted to kill her, she couldn't bring herself to harm him or harbor any resentment.

Tie Kongshan shook his head, saying, "I only crippled his martial arts." He placed the iron halberd on the deck, saying, "Watch over my son for me."

With that, he strode towards Gongzi Yu.

****

The Third Young Master struck down with a palm at the pursuing Yao Banxian. His attack was at the highest level of the Overlord's Palm Technique!

This palm strike was like three mountains and five peaks simultaneously pressing down on the drug-man. The drug-man roared, throwing out both fists simultaneously. Those fists, capable of shattering mountains and collapsing peaks, actually shattered the Third Young Master's mountain-like palm strike!

But though the palm strike shattered, the man remained. The Third Young Master was the true Overlord; his palms were the essence of the Overlord's Decree!

The impact of shattering the palm strike slowed the drug-man for a moment. In that instant, the Third Young Master's lightness skill, comparable to instantaneous teleportation, revealed its power. He vanished in mid-air. The next instant, he appeared to the drug-man's left side, and then the Third Young Master's hands grasped the drug-man's left ribs.

With a light press, a touch, and a withdrawal, the Third Young Master gracefully retreated, while the drug-man plummeted straight towards the sea like a stone, exploding into dust with a loud bang before even hitting the water.

****

Zuo Tianzong, Zhao Ziyang, and Zhou Lingfei were dead.

Almost all three of them died at Song Qing's hands.

To be precise, they died under the gaze of Song Qing's demonic eyes.

The three of them were originally dealing with Lian Zhou Luo'er, Qin Ni'er, Shui Muwei, and Luo Sheng Jingshen. With their martial arts skills, killing the four women was only a matter of time. However, after the arrival of Nu Hengmei and Xiao Tianci, who had killed the Seven Iron Guards, Zuo Tianzong and his two companions immediately fell into a disadvantageous position.

And standing beside their battle was Song Qing.

After a period of recuperation, Song Qing had recovered most of his strength.

So, with Zuo Tianzong and his two companions dead, Song Qing's demonic eyes were all-pervasive; once they met their eyes, there was no chance of survival!

The flagship Langzhan sank. The first deck was less than three feet above the water. The seven large, unsinkable warships on either side of the flagship tied countless ropes to it and then moved in all directions, using the combined strength of the seven warships to keep the flag and rudder from sinking.

Most of the archers on those seven warships were from the Northern Frontier Divine Bow Camp and the navy. They were ready to fire their arrows, waiting only for all their men on the flagship to evacuate before unleashing their barrage.

Now, the naval soldiers on the flagship had all evacuated, leaving only Gongzi Yu and the Qin family on board.

At this moment, Gongzi Yu had already pulverized the two death warriors who had been harassing him for so long.

The sun had completely sunk below the horizon, the sea breeze was growing stronger, and the waves were crashing. The sea, like a giant cradle, was gently rocking the naval fleet floating on its surface.

Uncle Li leaped onto the flagship's armor. The drug-using man he had been fighting had his limbs removed and sank to the bottom of the sea; even if he wasn't dead, he couldn't continue fighting.

Qin Feng rescued Qin Lei, who had fallen into the sea. Qin Lei's injuries weren't serious, but his power had been greatly diminished.

The Third Young Master slowly walked towards Gongzi Yu, and Tie Kongshan also approached. When Gongzi Yu saw Tie Kongshan, his pupils contracted.

"Tie Kongshan, you've come too?!"

Tie Kongshan chuckled and said, "I've been here for a while."

The Third Young Master, Qin Feng, and Tie Kongshan formed a three-pronged formation, surrounding Gongzi Yu.

Fighting a master like Gongzi Yu, anyone slightly weaker would be sent to their death. Therefore, those who were injured retreated to the side, and those whose power was insufficient also retreated.

Hua Rong was too exhausted to summon the Heavenly Tiger Roar, so she simply didn't summon it and stood aside to observe.

Uncle Li, having fought for too long, was also greatly weakened and unable to participate.

Only the Third Young Master and Qin Feng had suffered the least damage from defeating the medicine man. Tie Kongshan, on the other hand, was full of energy; he had killed the medicine man chasing Qin Lei with little effort, and the half-immortal medicine man was easily defeated.

Therefore, the three of them were now preparing to fight Gongzi Yu.

"Young Master Yu, you have lost." The Third Young Master looked at Young Master Yu and said with a smile, "Although you still have a lot of troops, we are at sea now, and your army cannot deploy. We are enough to kill you."

Young Master Yu smiled calmly, nodded, and said, "You are right, I have lost this battle. I didn't expect that Hua Rong's two medicine men were also brought. I didn't expect that you and Qin Feng could kill the medicine men unscathed, and I didn't expect that Tie Kongshan had also infiltrated my navy. These first and second unexpected things are nothing. Even if you and Qin Feng killed the medicine men unscathed, the others were more or less injured and lost most of their power. They are no match for me. Even if you used the Heavenly Soldiers Dragon Roar and joined forces with Qin Feng, you are no match for me. But..." He shook his head self-deprecatingly. "With Tie Kongshan's arrival, everything changed."

The Third Young Master chuckled and said, "Rong'er and I combined our Dragon Roar and Tiger Howl techniques, and you could withstand two hundred moves. Even if my elder brother and uncle combined their strength, they couldn't match the Heavenly Soldier Tiger Howl, but in terms of power, they weren't much weaker. Without the Tiger Howl, you could only withstand four or five hundred more moves. Since that's the case, do you still want to fight?"

Gongzi Yu shook his head and smiled, "Third Young Master, you underestimate me. Do you think I would surrender so easily? Do you think I, Gongzi Yu, am someone who would give up so easily?"

As he spoke, his gaze passed over everyone's heads and landed on Min Rou. The Third Young Master suddenly noticed that Gongzi Yu's gaze at this moment actually revealed a rare hint of tenderness.

"My Seventh Heaven of Ruthlessness has wavered. If I could maintain my original level, I would have already broken through to the highest level during the Great Sun Conquest. Do you know what the highest level of the Seventh Heaven of Ruthlessness represents? It represents that I will become a god. Heh, a god! Once I become a god, would I still fear the heavenly soldiers created by gods? I'm afraid I alone would be enough to kill you all. It's a pity..."

He lowered his head, his eyes unfocused, and murmured, "If a person is sentimental, he will wither and die. If a person is heartless, what is the taste of living?" He murmured this many times, and the whispered voice seemed like a spell, drifting in the wind and reaching Minrou's ears. Minrou had no idea what kind of feelings she was experiencing.

“You are my inner demon.” Gongzi Yu raised his head again, staring intently at Min Rou, his eyes blazing with a fanatical light, like life beginning to burn, like the most beautiful fireworks of life gradually unfolding. “Master Yao told me that if I couldn’t resist the temptation of my inner demon, I couldn’t become a god. I thought the inner demon wasn’t so terrible, I thought I could resist it. But… I still lost.”

He gradually clenched his fists, white light emanating from his left fist and black light from his right, his entire body instantly turning black and white, leaving no other color on him.

“Even in defeat, I, Ying Yu, will fight to the very end! Third Young Master, take this!”

Boom—The deck beneath Gongzi Yu’s feet shattered, black and white light intertwining and swirling into a massive pillar of light that shot towards the sky and the earth. The pillar of light shattered the deck beneath Gongzi Yu’s feet, pierced the sea surface, and struck the seabed. Seawater surged into the flagship like a raging tide, accelerating its sinking, even the seven large warships beside it couldn’t hold it back. The beam of light shot into the night sky, turning half of the sky black and white!

A golden dragon roared in the sky, its five claws swooping down and enveloping the Third Young Master.

A strong wind rose, and Qin Feng swayed with it, countless swords formed from the wind swirling and dancing around him.

Colorless flames erupted from Tie Kongshan's body, his armor burning fiercely, engulfing him in flames, transforming him into a towering volcano.

Gongzi Yu, radiating two-colored light, shot towards the Third Young Master like lightning, countless black electric sparks crackling around his right temple, and slammed his fist heavily into the Third Young Master.

With a long, crisp clang, the Third Young Master, wielding a round shield, blocked Gongzi Yu's punch.

Cracks appeared on the shield.

"Third Young Master, let's have a good fight!" Gongzi Yu laughed, then threw another left punch at the Third Young Master.

"Alright, I'll let you perform one last time!" The Third Young Master also laughed, his laughter containing metallic scraping sounds, full of clanging power.

He clenched his right fist and met Gongzi Yu's left fist with a thud.

With a deafening crash, their fists collided solidly. The Third Young Master was sent flying backward, while Gongzi Yu staggered back several steps, a trickle of blood escaping from the corner of his mouth.

The wind howled behind them—Qin Feng's sword attack was coming! A fierce wind howled beside them—Tie Kongshan's Iron Hand technique was also attacking!

Even the Third Young Master, who had been sent flying, stopped in mid-air and lunged at him again!

"Boom!" Another deafening roar echoed through the heavens and earth, and black and white light burst forth, blinding everyone.

The flagship had finally been completely shattered.

Amidst the flying wood chips, four figures soared into the sky, transforming into four beams of light—one golden, one fiery red, one pale blue, and one black and white—shooting into the air.

Qiao Wei and the others on the flagship used the flying wood chips as leverage to leap onto the adjacent warship.

The battle began. Arrows rained down, swords clashed, and the naval soldiers on the warships fought fiercely against the Qin family experts who hadn't participated in the battle against Gongzi Yu.

This was fighting on a ship; on a ship, forces couldn't be deployed, which was extremely advantageous for experts like Qiao Wei.

The battle quickly turned into a one-sided massacre.

In the air, the four beams of light darted back and forth, occasionally colliding and bursting into dazzling bursts of light, like fireworks blooming in the night sky.

This was Gongzi Yu's final performance; he would dance with the full brilliance of his life in the sky.

The fighting on the ship was no longer a concern for Gongzi Yu. He laughed wildly in the air, releasing the heat of his life with unbridled joy, using each wound to scatter the essence of his life.

I, Gongzi Yu, will be a hero this time!

Boom—the four beams of light collided once more, this time with unprecedented ferocity. Everything in the world lost its brilliance, leaving only the enormous fireworks released by the collision of the four beams of light in the sky.

The night sky was ablaze with color. The warriors who had fought so fiercely on the warships ceased their battle and looked up at the horizon.

The black and white lights had faded, leaving only Gongzi Yu's carefree laughter echoing across the heavens and earth…

~The Grand Finale: Carefree~

Snowfall.

Jiangnan.

Lingyun Mountain, the original site of Xiaoyao Manor.

A thick layer of snow covered the ground. In a small courtyard with a garden and artificial hill, a chessboard was set up, and two people were playing chess in the cold wind.

The one on the left wore a bright yellow robe embroidered with nine five-clawed golden dragons. His eyes were bright, his eyebrows were like swords, his nose was high and straight, and he had a neatly trimmed mustache. His graying temples, which were incongruous with his age, added a touch of mature vicissitude to his appearance, making him look exceptionally handsome.

The one on the right was equally dashing and elegant. He always had a faint smile on his face, his eyes were gentle, and his figure was slightly slender.

A gust of cold wind swept by, ruffling the trouser leg of the man on the right, causing it to flutter parallel to the ground.

It turned out this man had no legs.

The two men slowly placed their chess pieces, the fragrant tea beside the chessboard long since cold.

At this moment, a middle-aged man, appearing to be around thirty years old, with ordinary features but sharp eyes, hurried into the courtyard. He walked behind the man in the bright yellow robe and said, “Your Majesty, Xiang Qi committed suicide by the Xiang River. Wu Qingyuan has been captured by the Second Prince, but he refuses to surrender. The Second Prince requests instructions on how to deal with him.”

The man addressed as “Your Majesty” pointed to a chess piece, carefully examining the chessboard, and slowly said, “This game… seems to be nearing its end again. Hmm, tell the Second Prince not to mistreat Mr. Wu. Take good care of him and send him to the capital first.”

The middle-aged man responded with a “Yes,” and then added, “Your Majesty, a letter has arrived from the palace saying that Consort Zhen and Consort Xuan are both pregnant. They request Your Majesty to return and see them.”

The young Emperor's face lit up with joy, and he said, “Oh?” "Since that's the case, then I'll return to the palace tomorrow."

The middle-aged man smiled and said, "Also, the Empress Dowager asked the Emperor when he plans to bestow a title upon Miss Minrou."

Upon hearing the name Minrou, the legless man's eyes lit up, but then a deep sense of helplessness welled up inside him.

The Emperor glanced at the legless young man and slowly said, "We'll discuss this matter after I return to the palace."

The middle-aged man nodded and said, "Then may I report this to the Empress Dowager for now?"

The Emperor said, "Yes, that's settled."

The middle-aged man responded with a "Yes," took his leave, and slowly retreated three paces before turning to leave.

At this moment, the Emperor suddenly asked, "Brother Wei, how are the preparations for the First Prince's marriage going?"

The middle-aged man quickly turned around and smiled, "The First Prince stubbornly refuses to get married. He's run away from home again, saying he wants to elope and opposes arranged marriages. He also said he's going to encounter true love."

The Emperor chuckled, "He really said that?" "He's not a kid anymore. He's decisive and efficient in other matters, but in this one, he's acting like a little girl, all shy and hesitant. Well, that's fine, no one can control him anyway.

The martial arts ban was just issued recently, it'll be good for him to see how it's being implemented."

The middle-aged man chuckled for a moment, then asked, "Does Your Majesty have anything else to say? If not, I'll take my leave."

The Emperor nodded, then suddenly remembered something and said, "Brother Wei, I heard you recently brought back a batch of

beauties from Da Ri Province..." The middle-aged man immediately smiled knowingly. "Your Majesty, please rest assured, I gave some to Old Li, kept a few for myself, and the best of the rest are for Your Majesty."

"Hmm... Brother Wei really understands things!" The Emperor nodded in satisfaction, then his smile faded, and he said, "Brother Wei, this must be kept secret!"

The middle-aged man chuckled, "Your Majesty, please rest assured, no one knows about this." "

Alright, that's all. Go on with your business."

After the middle-aged man left, the legless man chuckled, "You're the emperor now. Why worry about others finding out you're filling your harem with beautiful women?"

The emperor sighed helplessly, "You know how fierce those tigresses at home are! And they're all strong fighters. If they team up, I can't possibly beat them. If I were to confront them directly, they could tear down the palace! I can't exactly mobilize the army to suppress them, can I?"

The legless man chuckled, "You don't know how lucky you are."

The Emperor laughed, "Perhaps! Being an emperor is difficult, being a good emperor is even more difficult. I have to get up at four in the morning and can't fall asleep until the first watch, and even then, I don't sleep well. I'm often tormented all night! If it weren't for this, would I have come here to seek refuge?"

The legless man chuckled for a while, then suddenly said, "By the way, I heard your sister Mei took your eldest son out of the palace."

The Emperor's expression darkened, but he forced a smile and said, "Yes. She doesn't like staying in the palace; she says it's like a cage."

The legless man tapped a chess piece and said, "Your eldest son..." "He's the heir to the throne. If we don't keep him in the palace and teach him properly, he might cause trouble in the future."

The Emperor laughed, "Forget it, let him go out and make his way! Staying in the palace from childhood to adulthood will prevent him from learning to be a good emperor."

At this moment, a clear and melodious laugh suddenly came from the courtyard gate: "Well, so you were hiding here!"

Hearing this voice, the Emperor's expression suddenly changed, and he whispered, "Oh no! She's found me!"

He then put on a bright smile, turned around, and looked at the two beautiful young women walking from the courtyard gate.

The one on the left was dressed in pink, her smile as beautiful as a flower, her movements as graceful as a willow swaying in the breeze, exuding an indescribable charm. Her beautiful eyes were captivating, full of alluring charm.

The one on the right was dressed in light green, her face beautiful beyond words, her beautiful eyes clear as water, clean and without any impurities.

Two women approached the Emperor, glanced at the legless man, first giving him a perfunctory bow, then saying to the legless man, "Sir, excuse us."

The legless man smiled and nodded, saying nothing.

The two women tugged at the Emperor's sleeves, one on each side. The woman in pink said seductively, "Your Majesty, you've been hiding here for quite some time, haven't you?"

The Emperor chuckled awkwardly and said, "Actually, I was planning to return to the palace tomorrow, yes, I was planning to return tomorrow.

By the way, Rong'er, Qing'er, how did you find the liaison?"

The woman in light green smiled and said, "Of course, someone tipped us off."

The Emperor's face changed, and he said angrily, "Just as I expected, someone betrayed me! The only one responsible for the liaison was that old bastard Wei Ge, it must be him! Damn it, I'll punish him by making him hand over all the beautiful women of Da Ri to the public treasury!"

After a howl filled with grief and indignation, the Emperor suddenly realized he had let something slip. He glanced at the two women beside him and, sure enough, saw them both looking at him with a mocking gaze. The

woman in pink reached out her slender, delicate hand and gently rubbed the Emperor's chest. She said in a seductive voice, "Your Majesty, what's the deal with the beauties of Da Ri Province? We don't need to tell you now; let's go back and talk about it, okay?" "As she spoke, she and the woman in light green flanked the Emperor on either side and led him out of the courtyard.

The legless man maintained a faint smile as he watched the two women carry the Emperor out of the gate.

A light breeze rose, and powdery snowflakes began to fall from the sky.

The legless man looked up at the sky; the snowflakes were growing larger and larger.

The footsteps outside the gate gradually subsided, the footsteps of people quieted down. But the sound of horses' hooves rang out; it seemed the Emperor had mounted his two beloved women and was preparing to leave this carefree manor.

The legless man picked up his cup of tea, which had gone cold, and gently held it. Soon, the water in the cup began to boil again, steam rising from it.

He took a small sip." Tea. A faint smile suddenly appeared on his lips as he saw a small head peeking out from the courtyard wall, two tiny hands gripping the wall, smiling at him.

It was a child of four or five years old. His skin was snow-white and delicate, and his eyes were like two bright black and white gems. He was very pretty, his cheeks, reddened by the cold wind, like two ripe apples.

The legless man waved to the child, who giggled, climbed over the courtyard wall, and then leaped down from the more than ten-foot-high wall. His small body floated down like a willow catkin, landing in the center of the courtyard.

The child clapped his hands, jumped in front of the legless man, and giggled, "Uncle, he's gone!"

The legless man nodded and said, "He's gone. He probably won't be coming back anytime soon."

The child nodded and smiled, "It's best if he doesn't come."

The legless man laughed, "You seem to dislike him?"

The child shook his head, "No, I like him very much. It's just that he's a big bad guy, he often bullies my mother!"

The legless man laughed, "Oh, how does he bully your mother?"

The child innocently replied, "He takes off my mother's clothes and presses himself on top of her, making her scream in pain, and sometimes she even cries."

The legless man laughed heartily, pinching the child's cheek, and said, "That's not bullying your mother. You'll understand when you grow up." Seeing the child's half-understanding look, the legless man shook his head and smiled, "Does he know that you and your mother live in the back mountain?"

The child shook his head and said, "No. But my mother seems to have said that if I miss him one day, I should tell him where we live."

The legless man nodded and said, "Then you'll miss him very soon. Alright, let's continue practicing today, because his arrival has already delayed us for quite some time. Hmm, where are we?"

The child smiled and said, "We've already learned the incantation for the last level of the 'Seven Heavens of Ruthlessness'."

The legless man smiled and said, "Alright, today I'll teach you the incantation for the last level. Hmm, and also, you must remember that beyond the Seven Heavens of Ruthlessness, there is another level, that is the true highest realm. The seventh level is called 'Absolute Ruthlessness,' and the true highest realm, Uncle has named it 'Return All My Love.'"

Seeing the child's confused expression,

the legless man patted his little head and smiled, "You may not understand now, but you will naturally understand when you grow up..."

In the winter of the 786th year of the Great Qin Calendar, heavy snow covered Lingyun Mountain.
