Chapter 51: How Dare You Break Down My Door!

“Who is it?” Shi Feizhe shouted. “Passerby press 1, passing demon press 2, evil thing here to take my life press 3!”

It was no wonder he shouted like this. It was because in the past two years, strange things happened frequently while he was just sitting at home!

Sometimes, it was two demons passing by and fighting.

Sometimes, a yellow tornado would suddenly appear, as if someone was fighting.

Sometimes, there would be knocking on the door at night, but when he opened it, there was nothing there.

As soon as he closed the door, the knocking would start again. It was pure torture!

“…” Li Yiyan was taken aback, not knowing how to press 1. He could only say, “People of the Jianghu, passing through here. We are being pursued, and we kindly request a bowl of hot porridge, we will pay with silver! We will leave after we have the porridge!”

Not to mention the promise of payment, just his frank tone made Shi Feizhe feel a sense of goodwill.

There were still good people in the Jianghu.

When he was chatting with the old man, he shared his experiences in the Jianghu with him. The old man only said one sentence.

“It’s incredible that you’re still alive!”

The implication was that he should have been betrayed by the people he knew.

How preposterous!

That Hua Xiaomei, Mister Wang, Fan Jianqiang were all good people. The Sun Moon Brilliance Sect was also good, letting him eat and live for free for so long!

Thick Eyebrows was also good, even giving him ten taels of gold in advance!

With a “creak,” Shi Feizhe opened the courtyard gate and saw the senior brother and junior sister supporting each other.

“We apologize for knocking on your door so late at night!” Li Yiyan quickly clasped his fists as he saw Shi Feizhe open the door.

“What is the cultivation level of the person chasing you?” Shi Feizhe saw a bald head reflecting light in the distance, very conspicuous in the snow.

“See the Truth cultivation!” Li Yiyan replied.

“Haha…” Upon hearing “See the Truth cultivation,” Shi Feizhe felt reassured and said with a confident smile, “A mere See the Truth cultivation, what’s there to be afraid of? If he dares to come, I will certainly protect you both!”

Of course, he was confident. Others needed three and a half years to break through the Blood and Qi Barrier, and another three and a half years to break through the Essence and Spirit Barrier. After reaching the completion of Blood and Qi and Essence and Spirit, one could cultivate True Qi and become a See the Truth realm expert.

He practiced the 《Dark Spring Divine Shadow Record》 and the 《Twelve-Layered Pagoda》 simultaneously, enduring the bitter cold of winter and the scorching heat of summer, three hundred and sixty-five days a year, without a single day of slacking off in his training. In just two and a half years, he achieved the completion of Blood and Qi and Essence and Spirit, cultivating True Qi.

In the old man’s words, someone who could cultivate True Qi in two and a half years was a rare talent in the entire martial arts world!

A martial arts genius, that’s how awesome he was!

Li Yiyan saw that Shi Feizhe was young but spoke with great confidence. He said worriedly, “Thank you, young Xia! That demonic monk has innate divine strength and abundant True Qi, he is quite formidable! However, after my junior sister and I rest, we can recover a few levels of our fighting strength. If young Xia lends a hand, I believe the three of us will not lose to the demonic monk.”

His thinking was simple and prudent.

A righteous three-on-one, how could they lose?

Shi Feizhe nodded and welcomed the two into the house.

Seeing an elder in the room, the senior brother and junior sister quickly performed a junior’s greeting, showing their good upbringing. Shi Feizhe went to the kitchen outside, filled two bowls of porridge for them, and handed them over.

“It’s Laba Festival today, this is all we have. There are also a few cold steamed buns, let’s toast them and make do!”

Li Yiyan and Su Yeye hadn’t eaten for a day and a night, so they didn’t care about such things. They gulped down a bowl of porridge, regardless of whether it was hot or not. As for the few cold steamed buns, they were swallowed down their throats before they were even half-heated.

A hearty meal finally made them feel alive again.

“Where are you two from? Why is someone chasing you?” Shi Feizhe asked. He had wanted to ask earlier, but the two were eating like wolves and had no time to speak.

“It’s that demonic monk from the See the Color Sect…”

“Amitabha, this humble monk is passing by and would like to request alms in the form of two people! Please be generous, benefactor!” A deep voice came from outside the courtyard.

It was Wu Jing’s voice.

Shi Feizhe had noticed his bald head earlier, and naturally, Wu Jing had also seen Li and Su enter this small courtyard and heard their conversation.

According to his estimation, after being pursued by him in the heavy snow, Li and Su should have been exhausted long ago. Especially Li Yiyan, who was carrying a woman on his back while climbing the mountain in the snow, where did he get the stamina!

By the time they reached the vicinity of the small courtyard, it was too late for him to act.

He needed to see what kind of person was in this courtyard before making a decision.

✿✿✿

One wrong step led to another.

Therefore, even though he heard Shi Feizhe’s words, he had to ask for the people. Otherwise, after Li and Su had something to eat and regained their strength, they would be able to recover their True Qi. By then, if they fought three against one, wouldn’t his pursuit have been in vain?

“You monk, what kind of alms are you asking for?” Shi Feizhe raised his voice.

“Amitabha, these two have a profound connection with my Buddha. This humble monk is about to take them back to the temple to impart Buddhist teachings and share in ultimate bliss!” Wu Jing said.

He was observing the situation in the courtyard.

“What Buddhist teachings?” Shi Feizhe asked Li Yiyan in a low voice.

“They take both men and women! He’s a demonic monk!” Li Yiyan said succinctly.

“…” Shi Feizhe couldn’t help but sigh, “Why are there so many filthy things in the Jianghu!” Then he raised his voice and said, “They don’t want to go!”

“If benefactor is willing to accommodate this humble monk, this humble monk will leave the beautiful lady to benefactor and only take the one with the deeper connection to Buddha.” Wu Jing thought for a moment and said tentatively.

It was a Jianghu rule to split things in half upon meeting. It was indeed a bit unconventional to want to take both of them away right after meeting.

“…”

This Jianghu had so many damn weird rules!

“Not interested!” Shi Feizhe shouted.

“In that case, this humble monk will take the beautiful lady, and leave the other person to benefactor.” Wu Jing said again.

“…Also not interested!”

“This won’t do, that won’t do either! Benefactor is making things difficult for this humble monk!” Wu Jing said, arriving at the gate of the courtyard.

He was ready to strike.

Inside the courtyard, Shi Feizhe sneered and picked up his rusty sword. In just these few sentences, he had judged that this monk was not a good person!

He deserved to die!

“Difficult! Then don’t do it!”

“This humble monk shares the same thought!”

With a “bang,” Wu Jing smashed the courtyard gate with a single punch and said menacingly.

“Damn it! How dare you break down my door!” Shi Feizhe was furious when he saw his gate destroyed.

What’s wrong with you people!

If you want to come in, just come in, why break the door! The door wasn’t even locked, couldn’t you open it yourself!

This was the new door he had just replaced not long ago!

“Baldy, you deserve to die!” Shi Feizhe’s figure flashed, stepping over the accumulated snow in the courtyard. The long sword in his hand shimmered with a faint light, a manifestation of the sword Qi attached to the rusty sword.

The sword move was ordinary, just a simple thrust, but incredibly fast, so fast that it was hard to react. In the blink of an eye, the sword light was already before one’s eyes, yet it gave the feeling of an immortal slowly extending a sword from beyond the heavens.

The contrast between fast and slow left Wu Jing momentarily stunned.

He couldn’t tell if this sword strike was fast or slow.

With a “clang,” Wu Jing instinctively drew the precept knife from his back, blocking the sword strike.

Baldy, you broke my door, you’re asking for death!
