Chapter 190: A True Opponent

Shi Feizhe charged towards the thin man, carrying a wave of sword energy.

The thin man, named Chen Ying, felt like his head was stuffed with a hundred people lecturing about animals, something like “Spring is here, everything is revived, and it’s the mating season for animals again…”

Damn it, what does animal mating have to do with me?!

Although he practiced Xingyi Fist, which used animal forms as metaphors, Xingyi focused more on the “intent” than the “form”!

He forcefully endured his about-to-explode head and threw a punch at Shi Feizhe, who was carrying a wave of sword energy. Accompanying this punch, his True Martial Divine Image was a majestic Azure Dragon!

This was the “Xingyi Dragon Fist”!

Under normal circumstances, even Shi Feizhe would have to temporarily avoid its edge, but Chen Ying’s current state was too poor.

Shi Feizhe took the punch head-on. His figure appeared dreamlike and illusory, as if he didn’t exist, passing through Chen Ying’s body!

With a “Sing” sound, blood gushed from Chen Ying’s chest. A huge sword gash opened up on his chest, even splitting his heart.

However, these were minor injuries for a Heaven’s Barrier realm martial artist. Although he couldn’t regenerate severed limbs, controlling the wound to stop bleeding was still a piece of cake.

“White-haired woman, Zhan Tian, quickly help me!” Chen Ying couldn’t help but shout, “If this goes on, we’ll be defeated one by one!”

“I’ll help you!” The white-haired woman said as her hair flipped, rolling towards Shi Feizhe like divine blades.

Her True Martial Divine Image was actually a deity with an unclear face, its origin unknown.

As for the one called Zhan Tian, it was the martial artist with a face full of ruthlessness who had killed Shi Yulin.

He didn’t come over to gang up on Shi Feizhe. Instead, he sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, as if he was trying to digest knowledge.

“Kill!”

Shi Feizhe’s eyes were filled with killing intent. Since coming to this world, he had never truly engaged in a life-or-death battle.

It was either him being hung up and beaten or him hanging others up and beating them.

He had never, like now, truly wanted to kill someone!

Kill them, protect Jicheng!

The sword Qi, following his will, became more and more ferocious, more and more fierce, more and more sharp! Like a surging tide, wave after wave, it surged towards the two. Amidst this wave of sword energy, Shi Feizhe continuously unleashed “Cut the Intestines,” his figure repeatedly passing through them.

“Boy, you underestimate us!”

“You’re not qualified to kill me yet!”

Chen Ying was covered in sword wounds, constantly bleeding. The more he fought, the more focused his will became, and the useless knowledge in his mind could no longer interfere with him.

Useless knowledge like “Bears are omnivores, and usually have two cubs in a litter, hence Xiong Da and Xiong Er” could no longer distract him.

He pushed out with both palms, and the True Martial Divine Image behind him transformed into a ferocious bear, its two bear claws mimicking his palm strikes.

The immense and pure power seemed capable of overturning mountains, the entire area rumbling like an earthquake.

“Hehe…” Shi Feizhe’s sword Qi converged, forming a giant sword like a hill. Shi Feizhe, within the sword energy, charged towards Chen Ying!

At this moment, the white-haired woman seized the opportunity. Her white hair, like a bolt of white silk, shot towards Shi Feizhe like a divine needle from the deity behind her.

Shi Feizhe endured the white-haired woman’s attack, his body and sword becoming one. His hand, carrying a bright sword light, like a pavilion from a celestial palace, pierced Chen Ying’s throat at an inconceivable angle.

Chen Ying’s head flew off!

The second Heaven’s Barrier realm martial artist was dead!

Shi Feizhe had no time for emotions. His sword light turned, sweeping towards the white-haired woman.

The white-haired woman’s hair had pierced his left waist just now, but he couldn’t care less.

Killing always comes with a price!

If it meant trading injuries for deaths, killing all four of them would be fantastic!

The white-haired woman frowned as she looked at the blood-soaked Shi Feizhe, filled with killing intent. Her white hair split into two, stabbing towards Shi Feizhe like twin thorns.

Her mind was filled with strange things.

Things like “Women can hold up half the sky” and “Gender equality, equal pay for equal work,” which she didn’t quite understand, yet grasped a little.

Thus, she found it inconceivable.

✿✿✿

In this Jianghu, because of the existence of female martial artists, the status of women wasn’t that low.

Not that low meant it wasn’t that high either.

The mainstream of the Jianghu was still male.

Even if female True Realm martial artists ruled a city, it was still a society where women were superior to men. They never thought about gender equality because they were used to it.

At this moment, she could choose to negotiate peace with Shi Feizhe and discuss how to achieve gender equality, or she could kill Shi Feizhe and use the power of the Sacred Heart Cult to slaughter through the Jianghu.

Without a second thought, she chose to continue killing Shi Feizhe.

Because gender equality was never her pursuit. What she wanted was to destroy this painful Jianghu!

“Kill! Kill! Kill!!!” Her hair was her weapon, and also a symbol of her suffering in the Jianghu.

Black hair turned white in an instant, a sudden frost descending.

But Shi Feizhe had already seen her weakness. After all, the Φ Domain had affected the white-haired woman. In a battle between experts, even the slightest difference could lead to a crushing defeat, let alone the continuous interference with her mind.

To the white-haired woman’s surprise, the boundless sword Qi suddenly vanished.

Then, a bright sword light descended from the nine heavens, like a shooting star, like an exiled immortal descending from the sky.

The white-haired woman was about to change her move to defend when she realized the sword light had already passed through her.

By the time she saw the sword light, it had already struck her.

This sword strike had only one goal: to kill the enemy with ultimate speed and precision!

“What a good sword technique!” she said, and then she split in half, collapsing to the ground with a thud.

The third Heaven’s Barrier realm martial artist, dead!

Shi Feizhe, clutching his wounded left waist, walked up to the last martial artist.

“Hey! You’re the only one left!” he said.

Kill him, and Jicheng would be safe!

Kill him, and the Sacred Heart Cult’s havoc in Yangzhou would be over!

“Do you know why I didn’t join them in ganging up on you?” Zhan Tian said.

His body, originally sitting cross-legged on the ground, slowly floated up.

The aura around him underwent an earth-shattering transformation. The Heaven’s Barrier was no longer a barrier for him.

“You…” Shi Feizhe looked at Zhan Tian in astonishment.

Damn it, how did this guy break through?!

“I have to thank you for the useless knowledge you poured into me,” Zhan Tian said. “It allowed me to break through the Question Heaven stage by chance.”

“Things like ‘one bag can hold as much as two bags,’ ‘go to the dock for some fries,’ these incomprehensible words made me guess that you might come from a mysterious place in the Nine Provinces.”

“Only in that place would you have so much knowledge, knowledge completely different from ours.”

“Since that’s the case, why must the world be like this?”

“I have a new understanding of the world,” he said calmly.

Shi Feizhe had heard from Old Man Yuan that Question Heaven meant collapsing one’s past self and rebuilding a new self.

Who the hell knew that this guy could discover the truth of the world within the useless information.

Could he be a genius?!

Chen Ying and Zhan Tian are names provided by readers. Readers have so many names! （ Many people don’t have a concept of the size of Yangzhou and the scale of the disaster. Please refer to the previous bonus chapter on the map of the Nine Provinces. Yangzhou is roughly the size of four southeastern provinces, not the current YZ city! Is there some double standard logic that as long as one agrees with Shi Feizhe’s philosophy, they can avoid death after he caused the chaos in Yangzhou?! ）
