Chapter 187: I Am the Real Shi Feizhe
This punch caused Shi Yulin’s head to bleed, but it didn’t kill him.
He was clearly a top expert in the Jianghu, yet in his extreme weakness, he was being lectured by his own subordinate.
It was extremely comical.
What was even more comical was how this group of martial artists, in a very short period, went from betrayal to sympathy, and back to betrayal, all very smoothly.
Because they were this extreme, they wanted to break out of Yangzhou, destroy the entire Jianghu, and bring suffering to everyone.
What about after the Jianghu was destroyed?
They had considered it, but it didn’t matter.
It was nothing more than death.
If Shi Yulin could lead them, they would be loyal to him, even if he was in such a sorry and heavily injured state, even with his shameful past.
But when Shi Yulin was unwilling to lead them and tried to stop them, he became their enemy, a stumbling block in their path.
Their stance had never changed.
“I…” Shi Yulin shook his head and said, “I once wanted to save people like me, but I found that the Jianghu is full of people like me. I can’t do it after all…”
“Sect Leader Shi!” The Heaven’s Barrier martial artist who had punched Shi Yulin, his face full of ruthlessness, grabbed him and said, “Sect Leader Shi, you’re not wrong, it’s the Jianghu that’s wrong.”
“The Jianghu is full of wailing, all hidden in their hearts! We can’t save them, we can only destroy them. Short-term pain is better than long-term pain!”
“…”
Shi Feizhe looked at this lunatic with a face full of ruthlessness. What did he mean by short-term pain being better than long-term pain?!
“I don’t want to, the Jianghu can still be saved, just like Jicheng!” Shi Yulin still insisted on his own beliefs.
He knew the consequences of his unwillingness, but he truly didn’t want to lead them to slaughter through the Jianghu.
“Jicheng! Jicheng! Because of Jicheng, you forced us to farm, because of Jicheng, you told us not to kill, because of Jicheng, you even controlled what we eat!” The martial artist with a face full of ruthlessness said, “After I kill you, I will personally destroy Jicheng!”
“Don’t…” Shi Yulin wanted to say something more, but he couldn’t speak.
The martial artist who was holding him suddenly exerted force and tore him in half.
His head, along with half of his body, rolled to Shi Feizhe’s side.
“Run…” He still had one last breath and said to Shi Feizhe.
Shi Feizhe looked at him and said, “Do you know that the Shi Feizhe of astonishing wisdom you met isn’t Shi Feizhe, and you are not Shi Feizhe either, I am the real Shi Feizhe!”
Shi Yulin might have heard it, or maybe he didn’t.
He died just like that.
He was clearly a top expert in the world, yet he was killed by his own subordinate, dying outside this Jicheng.
He died in a rather absurd and bizarre way.
It was just like the Jianghu.
For Shi Yulin, his life seemed to have been spent in this kind of soft-heartedness and indecisiveness, he was simply not suited for this Jianghu.
Perhaps in a different Jianghu, he might have lived a better life, or perhaps he would have died long ago.
Shi Feizhe looked at Old Demon Shi, who was staring at him with wide eyes, urging him to run, and sighed in his heart.
From the moment he stepped into the Jianghu at Three Talents Manor, he had been chased all the way, from Yi Province to Yong Province, from Yong Province to Yu Province, and then from Yu Province to Jing Province and Yangzhou.
He had already run through five of the Nine Provinces, where else could he run to?
Behind him was Jicheng, his hope for changing the Jianghu, where else could he run to?
He had no way out.
“Jie jie jie…You are the Hidden Mirror Person of Jicheng! We’ve heard it so many times that our ears have calluses, have you thought about how you want to die?” A True Realm martial artist who was surrounding Shi Feizhe said.
✿✿✿
“How about we break his legs and make him kneel here, let’s see how he’ll destroy Jicheng?” Another True Realm martial artist suggested.
“Hurry up and finish him off, I can’t wait to start the killing! Jing Province, Xu Province, Yu Province, they all belong to us!”
“You guys deal with him, I’m going to Jing Province!”
Seeing some of the Sacred Heart Cult martial artists preparing to leave for Jing Province, Shi Feizhe said, “You can’t leave!”
Letting this group of martial artists roam free, who knew what would happen!
Two or three ordinary True Realm martial artists posed no threat to him. He could still fight against seven or eight ordinary True Realm martial artists if he pushed himself. But if there were ten True Realm martial artists, he would have to run.
And as for Heaven’s Barrier True Realm martial artists, he could only defeat one.
Facing so many True Realm martial artists now, theoretically, he was asking for humiliation.
Fortunately, he had anticipated this day, anticipated that there would be a day when he would have a falling out with the Sacred Heart Cult.
Whether it was Old Demon Shi or anyone else!
He had been preparing for this day for a long time!
The number of martial artists today exceeded his expectations, but he knew he couldn’t retreat, nor could he let them run.
“You don’t want to stop us, do you?”
“Hahaha…You think you’re Sect Leader Shi!”
“That’s hilarious! Hahaha!!”
Shi Feizhe looked at them and said, “You all have practiced the 《Sacred Heart Manual》, you all know about Shi Feizhe of astonishing wisdom, but have you ever seen the real Shi Feizhe? Do you want to know where the 《Sacred Heart Manual》 came from?”
His words immediately attracted the attention of all the martial artists. The True Realm martial artists who had originally wanted to leave also stayed, wanting to hear where the 《Sacred Heart Manual》 came from.
Now that Old Demon Shi was dead, there was no one to stop them anymore.
It was normal for a martial artist to be curious about the origin of the cultivation method they practiced.
Especially a cultivation method like the 《Sacred Heart Manual》 that could change their destiny.
Listening wouldn’t take up too much time.
“A few years ago, in Qiuyang City of Yi Province, there was a sect called the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect. They had a visualization method called the 《Sun and Moon Concentric Art》.”
“They didn’t practice the 《Sun and Moon Concentric Art》 themselves, but instead gave it to a test subject. After that test subject reinterpreted the 《Sun and Moon Concentric Art》, he actually taught it back to the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect, allowing their two sect leaders to break through the True Realm barrier and become True Realm martial artists!” Shi Feizhe said.
“Hahaha~ You’re not trying to say that the 《Sacred Heart Manual》 we practice is actually the 《Sun and Moon Concentric Art》, are you?”
“You’re not saying that what we’re practicing is something the test subject understood, or even made up, are you?”
“You’re underestimating the profoundness of the 《Sacred Heart Manual》!”
“You understand the 《Sacred Heart Manual》? You’re talking nonsense here!”
“I thought there would be some insightful remarks, but that’s it? What a waste of time!”
The surrounding martial artists felt that Shi Feizhe was talking nonsense.
“The test subject had a friend in the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect named Fan Jianqiang. After the Sun Moon Brilliance Sect was destroyed by the two sect leaders, he took the 《Sun and Moon Concentric Art》 to Yangzhou and changed its name to 《Demon Heart Manual》, becoming active in Yangzhou under the name of Old Demon Shi.” Shi Feizhe continued.
Some of the martial artists fell silent. The name of Old Demon Shi had indeed become famous in Yangzhou several years ago, and Shi Yulin was definitely not that Old Demon Shi.
“How do you know so much?” The Heaven’s Barrier martial artist who had killed Shi Yulin, his face full of ruthlessness, thought of the conversation between Shi Feizhe and Shi Yulin earlier and said, “You said you are Shi Feizhe?”
“That’s right, I am the real Shi Feizhe!”
Finally, he could shout it out loud. I am the real Shi Feizhe!
