Inside a private room at Chunfeng Residence, Ye Ming emerged from a pitch-black spatial rift.
He had returned to this place.
After all, the disappearance of two living people from this location would inevitably arouse suspicion.
"It seems I need to establish a spatial node at Zui Hong Chen in the future."
A spatial node was essentially a positional coordinate. With a positional coordinate, Ye Ming could establish a spatial passage from wherever he was, allowing him to appear at the coordinate's location.
After leaving Chunfeng Residence, Ye Ming did not delay. He found a deserted corner, his body transformed into a streak of light, and he vanished from the spot.
At his speed, it would only take tens of seconds to reach Zui Hong Chen.
"Oh!"
As Ye Ming passed through a dilapidated street, he suddenly stopped.
He seemed to have discovered something interesting.
Not far from him, the sounds of fighting could be heard intermittently. Amidst them were roars and screams.
"Liu Li, you traitor!"
At this moment, a man covered in blood glared furiously at the opposite side. Behind him, more than twenty figures, also blood-stained, were in the same state.
Their gaze was fixed on a youth with an evil smile on his lips.
"Feng Wuji, as the saying goes, a wise man knows when to adapt to circumstances." Liu Li sneered, "Look at you now, constantly on the run with your brothers, living in these dark and hopeless days. Tell me, if we continue to follow you, is there any way out for us?"
"You..."
Feng Wuji was speechless at these words.
"Boss, don't listen to that traitor's nonsense! The reason we brothers are willing to follow you is because you are the boss in our hearts. We shared glory with you once, and we can naturally live and die with you. We have no regrets!"
Behind Feng Wuji, a young man in his early twenties, holding a blood-stained long saber, said with unwavering determination.
"That's right, we have no regrets!"
"No regrets!"
"No regrets!"
...
After the young man spoke, it ignited the fighting spirit of the people around him. There was no fear in their eyes, only a willingness to die.
"Hahaha! Good!"
Feng Wuji turned around, looking at the group of brothers who had gone through life and death with him. He laughed heartily, "I never imagined that Feng Wuji would have brothers as loyal as you. This damned life has not been lived in vain."
"Today, no matter what, I, your brother, will carve a bloody path for you! Remember this, you have not called me boss in vain!"
Turning back, Feng Wuji's eyes sparkled with unyielding fighting spirit.
Clap, clap, clap!
"Well said, brotherhood runs deep!"
Opposite Feng Wuji, an old man walked towards him.
The newcomer was none other than Black Tiger.
"Greetings, Lord Black Tiger!"
Upon seeing Black Tiger, Liu Li's arrogant demeanor vanished instantly, and he bowed respectfully.
His movements were obsequious.
"Are you the one who provided us with the information?" Black Tiger glanced at him and asked.
"Replying to Lord Black Tiger, it is I!" Liu Li rejoiced inwardly.
After all, he was the primary contributor to successfully cornering Feng Wuji and his group this time.
Hearing this, Black Tiger smiled faintly, "You've done well!"
"Thank you for your praise, little one..."
Bang!
Before Liu Li could finish speaking, he felt a jolt in his head. His consciousness began to blur, and the colors in his pupils gradually faded.
"Why... why?"
With a question filled with unwillingness, he collapsed to the ground. Blood began to flow from his seven orifices.
Finally!
His eyes rolled upward, staring blankly at the sky, dying with his grievances unaddressed.
Black Tiger retracted his palm, cast a disdainful glance at the corpse on the ground, and said coldly, "Unfortunately, I cannot use someone who has already betrayed me once."
To Black Tiger, if someone could betray once, then when they were offered sufficient incentive, betraying a second time was not surprising.
Therefore, to prevent such a thing from happening, they could only be deprived of the opportunity to betray.
The dead could certainly achieve this.
Black Tiger's ruthless methods not only shocked Feng Wuji and his group, but even the members of the Black Tiger Sect felt a chill down their spines.
Although it appeared that Black Tiger was executing Liu Li, the unspoken message conveyed was also a warning to them.
"Lord Black Tiger, truly a formidable method!" Feng Wuji said with a mocking tone and a smile.
"I am merely cleaning up the house for you. Should you not thank me?" Black Tiger's expression remained unchanged.
"Good! I shall present my thanks now!"
As the words fell, Feng Wuji's body seemed to transform into a fierce wind. In an instant, he appeared before Black Tiger and threw a punch.
Bang!
Accompanied by a powerful surge of true qi, Feng Wuji's attack was blocked by Black Tiger. But he did not give up. His figure vanished again and reappeared, this time with another punch aimed at the back of Black Tiger's head.
Bang!
But each time he was about to strike, he was blocked by Black Tiger first. Thus, Feng Wuji continuously attacked from different positions, while Black Tiger remained in a defensive stance.
Due to Feng Wuji's extreme speed, Black Tiger could not find an opportunity to attack.
"Feng Wuji clearly only has the strength of the late Martial Master stage, why is his speed so fast?" Black Tiger became increasingly alarmed as they fought.
Clearly, in terms of strength, Black Tiger, who had already entered the Martial King realm, was superior. However, the opponent's movement techniques and speed were too bizarre, leaving him somewhat helpless.
Currently, the only method Black Tiger could think of was to exhaust Feng Wuji's true qi.
Regardless, he was still only a Martial Master. In terms of true qi reserves, Feng Wuji was clearly no match for Black Tiger.
After dozens of exchanges, Feng Wuji's attack frequency noticeably decreased. It was likely that his true qi would be depleted soon.
Feng Wuji stopped, panting heavily, and stared at Black Tiger with a grave expression.
The perception of a Martial King realm expert was too strong. He could not inflict a critical blow on Black Tiger with surprise attacks.
"Actually, you could escape!"
At this moment, Black Tiger suddenly spoke with a smile, "With your speed, you could completely escape from here."
Indeed, as Black Tiger said, if Feng Wuji wanted to leave, no one present could stop him.
But if he left, the fate of the brothers behind him could be imagined.
"Are you not considering my suggestion?" Black Tiger maintained his smile.
However, within that smile, there was a hint of trickery.
"Shut up, I..."
"Boss!"
Before Feng Wuji could finish speaking, the young man with the blood-stained long saber behind him suddenly spoke, "Boss! You can escape, right?"
"Xiao Biao, I told you, I will carve a bloody path for you. So, even if I have to use my own life to pave it, I will pave it for you!" Feng Wuji clenched his fist, his words filled with determination.
"Boss, even if we escape, how long can we survive?" Xiao Biao asked.
Indeed, even if they escaped here, would the Black Tiger Sect let them go?
The answer was clearly no.
"I..."
Feng Wuji had not considered this question. His mind was currently focused on how to help them escape.
"Boss, you must live well and avenge us!"
Before Feng Wuji could react, Xiao Biao directly raised the saber in his hand and slashed it across his own throat.
The others did the same.
They knew better than anyone that they would only be a burden to Feng Wuji. As long as they were still alive, Feng Wuji would always have concerns.
Therefore, this group of people resolutely chose to end their own lives, letting Feng Wuji carry their wishes.
Live on!
They did so without hesitation!
This scene was so tragic!
And so heroic!
"No!"
Upon seeing this, Feng Wuji turned back, and his entire body lunged towards everyone as if he had gone mad. His eyes were filled with bloodshot veins.
But no matter how fast he was, he could not save everyone.
"Ah!"
Feng Wuji roared in despair. At this moment, he felt utterly helpless. His pride in his speed was so powerless at this moment.
If he had been a little faster, perhaps he could have prevented this tragedy.
Why couldn't he be faster!
Why?
Just as Feng Wuji's world fell into silence, he saw a beam of light.
Under the radiance of that light, the movements of his brothers who were preparing to end their own lives were frozen.
The world!
Became quiet!
"I will protect these people for you. You, go and fight with all your might!"
