He lowered his head again, looking at the sword stained with the blood of Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e.

He was casually tossed to the ground by Xu Zhu.

Murong Fu felt as if his own face had been thrown to the ground and trampled upon.

In an instant, anger rose in my heart, and evil thoughts arose in my mind.

He rubbed his right foot against the sword, and the longsword landed in his hand.

He glared fiercely at Xu Zhu, who was utterly embarrassed by the flattery from the crowd.

He channeled his inner energy and with a single sword strike, cleaved an island lord who was blocking his way in two.

The longsword showed no mercy, aiming straight for Xu Zhu's back.

"Young master, watch out!"

"Murong Fu, what are you trying to do?"

Everyone was shocked.

Several people who were close by were drenched in blood.

Xu Zhu was also taken aback.

Looking at Murong Fu's ferocious face, I really couldn't understand what deep-seated hatred he had.

Faced with the murderous Murong Fu, Xu Zhu also felt somewhat nervous and flustered.

In that instant, even his martial arts skills, which surpassed Murong Fu's, made him forget how to use them.

In this moment of desperation, he subconsciously channeled all his internal energy, unleashing a powerful Yang Song Heaven's Equal strike that landed squarely on Murong Fu's sword.

With a clang, the iron sword snapped in two.

Murong Fu's tiger's mouth was cracked and bleeding from the impact, and the overflowing palm wind also scattered Murong Fu's hair bun.

His hair was disheveled, and he looked utterly miserable.

Just as Xu Zhu breathed a sigh of relief, he saw that Murong Fu's face, hidden by his long hair, still held a sinister grin.

With his left hand raised, a sharp yet concealed finger strike was about to attack Xu Zhu's chest Tanzhong Acupoint.

Murong Fu was not entirely a fool.

He also realized that his skills were inferior to Xu Zhu's, but he refused to accept it.

Therefore, the fierce sword feint attack was actually a killing move made with the Murong Family's Canhe Finger Skill, which was unleashed with the left hand!

Since finger force is invisible, it is naturally difficult to cut it off.

Duan Yu held the sword incantation but didn't know what to do.

A clear sound was heard in mid-air.

Murong Fu's much-anticipated "Canhe Finger Skill" never proved effective.

Xu Zhu nervously patted his chest.

He still hadn't gotten used to the fact that he had become a peerless master.

Even if that finger strikes me, it might not seriously injure me.

But he couldn't help feeling nervous.

He turned his head gratefully and gave Ji Boying a thankful look.

Many of the people present were highly skilled.

But only Xu Zhu and Duan Yu could understand it.

Xu Zhu possessed the internal energy of three schools and had also mastered the exquisite martial arts techniques of the Vulture Peak Palace.

Duan Yu relied on the Six Meridian Divine Sword for protection. Although he was not always able to use the Six Meridian Divine Sword effectively, his internal strength was already very profound.

He is naturally more sensitive to finger pressure than others.

The Canhe Finger Skill was flicked away by Ji Boying's empty flick in mid-air, sending a gust of wind flying past. It struck first despite being delayed, and dispersed in mid-air.

The two of them were full of praise for Ji Boying.

That's truly incredible skill!

Before Murong Fu could react...

Suddenly, a suction force rose from the ground.

Even with Murong Fu's current profound internal strength, he still found it difficult to maintain his balance.

Murong Fu panicked and desperately tried to circulate his internal energy, even attempting to use the Shifting Stars and Changing Constellations technique to neutralize the force.

But no matter what he did, it was all in vain.

This man, weighing over 100 pounds and possessing 50 to 60 years of internal strength, was lifted into the air as if a sack had been torn open.

His figure traced an arc in mid-air.

He fell heavily down the steps again.

Murong Fu was thrown around in a daze, and when he looked up again, he could only see Ji Boying's feet.

Murong Fu was horrified.

If Xu Zhu hitting him was like hitting a child, then this Central Divine hitting him was like crushing an ant.

Fear gripped my heart.

Murong Fu suddenly turned his head, his eyes fixed on Bao Butong and Feng Bo'e's gradually cooling bodies.

He understood; he understood everything.

He had truly misunderstood his two retainers; he realized he was nothing at all.

It's a miracle that I survived in front of this person; it's all thanks to God.

But it's too late to say anything now.

Ji Boying raised his hand to kill Murong Fu.

"Brother Deng, we are entrusting our families to you!"

Gongye Qian was dressed in a blue Confucian robe and looked very refined.

At this moment, with a resolute expression and a look of deep resentment, he charged forward with bare hands.

Deng Baichuan's expression was complicated as he clutched his severed arm, speechless.

They could only watch helplessly as Gongye Qian went to his death.

Ji Boying looked at Gongye Qian, who was bravely facing death, and said, "He killed two of your brothers, cut off Deng Baichuan's arm, and did such unjust things. Are you still going to die for them?"

Humans are not plants or trees; how can they be without feelings?

At this moment, Murong Fu realized his mistake, and fear increased his dependence on Gongye Qian.

"Second Brother Gongye!"

But Gongye Qian didn't even glance at Murong Fu at this moment.

He stared intently at Ji Boying.

"He is wicked and unjust, and we cannot be disloyal. If he hadn't died here, we would naturally have settled accounts with him! But at this moment, I cannot do nothing and watch him die before my eyes!"

Ji Boying understood.

Among the assembled heroes, regardless of gender, most felt a surge of admiration for Gongye Qian.

Gongye Qian stood up for Murong Fu at this time not because of any loyalty between ruler and subject, or past feelings.

He was simply putting his own beliefs into practice.

He bravely faced death, Ji Boying burst into laughter.

"You want to die, but it won't be easy. If you want to die by my hand, I won't kill you. If you don't want Murong Fu to die, I won't let you have your wish!"

Apart from Bao Butong foul mouth and their past over-loyalty to Murong Fu, the Four Great Household Retainers of the Murong Family are morally superior to most people in the martial arts world.

It was precisely because of his willingness to die that he won the admiration of Ji Boying.

Gongye Qian let out a long sigh.

He knew that in Murong Fu's eyes, the four of them were at most just four lackeys.

But in the eyes of the man before him, Murong Fu was not even a lackey.

He stepped forward without ever intending to save Murong Fu.

He just wanted to do what he was supposed to do.

If I truly give it my all and still can't do anything, all I ask for is a clear conscience.

"Thank you for your kindness! Gongye Qian, have been disrespectful!"

Gongye Qian shouted.

Even though they admired each other, the man known as the second strongest palm striker in Jiangnan and the master of the Red Cloud Manor still went all out.

There was absolutely no intention to go through the motions.

"Good!"

Ji Boying was celebrated throughout his life.

This person was given respect.

He then unleashed a palm strike from mid-air using the newly learned Tianshan Six Yang Palm.

With a single palm strike, Gongye Qian's two palms trembled violently!

His entire frame was completely shattered, and he was knocked over twice by a single palm strike.

He fell helplessly to the ground.

Having suffered some injuries, neither minor nor serious, all he could do was sigh.

He lay on the ground and closed his eyes.

Of course, we are also grateful to Ji Boying for showing mercy.

Murong Fu was so frightened that he turned and ran away.

They scrambled and crawled outwards.

Ji Boying let him run ten steps ahead.

With another wave of his hand, he activated the Dragon Capturing Skill, and an extremely strong suction force pulled Murong Fu towards him once again.

It was grabbed directly into my hand.

He held Murong Fu by the back with his left hand.

Murong Fu tried to resist again, but Ji Boying grabbed a major acupoint on the back of his neck.

Murong Fu felt weak and numb all over, and could no longer mobilize any of Dantian powerful internal energy.

I still feel a sharp pain when Ji Boying holds me.

Murong Fu in so much pain that his vision went black.

"This kid is lacking in internal energy, but he's a great source of nourishment. Come on, which of you two wants him? Don't waste him."

Ji Boying laughed as he picked up Murong Fu, swaying him like livestock towards Duan Yu and Xu Zhu.

Xu Zhu was so frightened that he shook his head repeatedly.

Even though he already possessed superior Northern Darkness True Qi, he didn't like to actively absorb other people's internal energy.

Duan Yu naturally disliked it as well.

He hadn't even fully mastered the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.

Duan Yu has always been a kind person.

But at this moment, he hesitated and still placed his hand on Murong Fu's body.

A resolute look appeared on his face.

He and Wang Yuyan were relentlessly pursued by Murong Fu, and they suffered greatly.

Although he might not have been able to win the heart of the beauty if it weren't for his pursuit.

But Duan Yu looked at Murong Fu's constant sneak attacks on Xu Zhu.

I really don't have the confidence to let the tiger return to the mountain.

Who knows what other vicious schemes Murong Fu might use in secret?

I want to be a good person, but I also don't want to get hurt.

The best approach is to nip evildoers in the bud, eradicate them completely, and prevent future troubles.

Having traveled the martial world, Duan Yu has grown to some Duan Yu.

Murong Fu was carried by Ji Boying like a dead pig.

After Duan Yu absorbed his internal energy, Murong Fu felt a tremor run through his body.

However, even when the vital points on his body were targeted, he didn't feel anything more.

They could only wait for death to come in the darkness.

Like meat on a cutting board.

An unspeakable fear lingered in my heart; it was truly a torment.

Murong Fu met such an end.

Wang Yuyan, however, felt no pity whatsoever.

Murong Fu was utterly devoid of humanity in his quest to restore his kingdom.

He treated himself so cruelly.

They also wanted to seize the assets of the Manduo Manor for their own use.

And his mother was such a bad-tempered person.

I hate Murong Fu so much.

Naturally, they couldn't reach an agreement.

Murong Fu himself knew this, so he devised a treacherous plan.

Hope and his Four Great Retainers dealt with his mother, killing or maiming her without any humanity.

This is also why Wang Yuyan showed no reaction to the deaths of the Four Great Retainers.

Even someone as passionate and seemingly righteous as Gongye Qian.

He could hardly gain even a shred of compassion from Wang Yuyan.

Murong Fu's internal strength was truly profound; it could be considered a great tonic for anyone who cultivated the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.

However, Ji Boying had no interest whatsoever in the Northern Darkness Divine Skill or his internal energy.

Just as Ji Boying never even considered taking advantage of Wu Yazi.

Whether absorbing someone else's internal energy is good or bad, Ji Boying didn't know.

The Star Absorbing Great Art is clearly harmful.

There are many different opinions about the Northern Darkness Divine Skill.

However, Ji Boying did not simply practice his skills in this world.

His own internal skills were already profound and refined enough, so he didn't need to resort to these underhanded tricks.

Therefore, there is no need to take this risk.

Furthermore, Ji Boying also had his own prejudices against such internal energy.

I always feel that the internal energy I absorb from others is not as good as the energy I cultivate myself.

Perhaps it's just prejudice, or a little bit of personal fastidiousness.

But in any case, Ji Boying did not want to take this risk.

Ji Boying's opponents were never any particular martial arts master in this region.

Before long, Duan Yu had absorbed all of Murong Fu's internal energy.

Ji Boying picked up Murong Fu and swung him around in his hand a couple of times.

Murong Fu had become limp and powerless, with no strength left in his body.

"I didn't intend to kill you. You may be a bit stupid, but that's precisely why you're no threat to me."

"You just put on such a farcical show, which actually made me quite entertained. You dressed up as a clown to amuse me, and now that I'm happy, letting you go isn't out of the question."

"But look at the way you were just now, it was so heartless and disgusting."

"Your life was originally in my hands. If I was happy, you could live. Now that I'm disgusted, you will naturally die."

"You don't need to feel wronged. Although you are stupid and incompetent, you have indeed been plotting to overthrow the Great Song."

"Just for your rebellious act, the Great Song government would have to punish you. Now, set off on your journey."

After saying a few words, Ji Boying twisted Murong Fu's head off.

A limp corpse was carelessly tossed on the ground.

The Thirty-Six Cave Masters and Seventy-Two Island Masters all remained silent, trembling with fear.

They were all waiting for Ji Boying to pronounce their fate.

Just then, chaos erupted outside again.

The shouts of a group of women could be heard incessantly.

A large group of women, young and old, carrying swords, rushed in.

These were naturally the other Eight Divisions Women who originally followed Xu Zhu.

"Master, kill all these servants!"

These people completely surrounded the cave master and the island master.

The situation on the scene suddenly became tense again.

All the women wanted to surround Xu Zhu.

After all, this is their backbone.

But just as they were about to surround him, they found that the cave lords and island lords were also trembling with fear, crowding around Xu Zhu.

They clearly regarded Xu Zhu as their backbone.

Everyone was waiting for Xu Zhu to speak.

The atmosphere at the scene was extremely delicate.

"Everyone, stop fighting. They've already admitted their mistakes."

Xu Zhu was somewhat indecisive.

Although the women all regarded Xu Zhu's orders as Imperial Decree, they still had to offer some advice.

"Master, we can't let them get away with this! They killed so many of our sisters!"

The women exuded a murderous aura.

Ji Boying didn't want to get involved in their dogfighting.

These cave lords and island lords are hardly good people, and Vulture Peak Palace is even less so.

If they were to actually fight Tianshan Child Elder Ji Boying might just kill her.

Apart from Wuyazi, the members of the Xiaoyao School probably didn't commit too many evil deeds because they were crippled in their early years.

Li Qiushui and Tianshan Child Elder are both among the top villains in the world.

They all deserved to die, and their deaths were not a pity.

"You can handle things yourselves here; I don't want to get involved."

Facing the probing gazes of the Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, Xu Zhu) and Ji Boying turned and left with his hands behind his back.

The Four Swords of Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum, hesitated for a moment when they saw Xu Zhu, but still decided to serve Ji Boying well for the sake of the bigger picture.

The four people quickly led the way and invited Ji Boying to a quiet place to rest.

I also want to thank him for intervening and stopping the fight.

Even if it was only for a short while, many of the women over there could have survived.
