Background / History

Hu Feibai rose from impoverished beginnings through a life of killing and bloodshed, eventually founding the Blood Blade Sect and cultivating the Blood Blade Scripture. In his Dan-Forming years, he tempered his meridians beyond ordinary standards, wrapped his Internal Force in blood-evil aura, and claimed the ability to fight several peers at once. 101

He became a longstanding enemy of the Clear Wood Sect and its leader, Mu Nian. Hu Feibai attacked the weakened Mu Nian during the Clear Wood Sect's attempt to elevate Song Shan, but Mu Nian temporarily erupted with power and wounded him with Clear Wood Sword Intent. Hu Feibai withdrew rather than risk a direct confrontation. 90 91

While fleeing the pursuing Clear Wood Sect martial artists, Hu Feibai captured Li Yun, who was disguised as Blood Blade Sect disciple Leng Yifeng, and forced him to drive the Ghost Fire Demon Horse south. Impressed by Li Yun's Blood Blade Technique and talent, he provided the Dan-Forming portion of the Blood Blade Scripture and personally explained the path beyond Core-Forming. 99 100 101

At Mist Valley, Hu Feibai healed his injuries and perfected his Blade Intent. He then used his familiarity with the terrain, ambushes, and manipulation to dismantle the Clear Wood Sect pursuers one by one, killing Zhao Meng and Shi Poshan and scattering the rest. 114 121 123

His confidence led him to underestimate Li Yun and Mu Fuwan. Li Yun ambushed and severely wounded him, then destroyed his dantian and severed his limbs after Hu Feibai attempted to use a Blood Path Secret Technique. Mortally wounded, Hu Feibai detonated a final Blood Fiend Qi mark, dying while attempting to corrupt both opponents. 127 128 129

Appearance

Hu Feibai is an aged, gaunt man with knobby hands, prominent cheekbones, sunken eye sockets, and a harsh blood-evil presence. His eyes are described as scarlet during moments of shock or hostility. 90 99 101

  • Knobby, gaunt hands capable of restraining Li Yun through invisible force. 99
  • Deep-set eyes and prominent cheekbones that sharpen his predatory expression. 101
  • Blood-red aura and Blade Intent strong enough to create tangible pressure around him. 107 122
  • Wore Heavenly Silkworm Armor beneath his robes, allowing him to survive Li Yun's initial ambush. 127

Personality

Hu Feibai is ruthless, prideful, and intensely survival-oriented. He treats cultivation as a brutal contest in which strength justifies every action, openly advocating killing anyone who obstructs one's path. 101

He is also patient and calculating. Rather than confront the Clear Wood Sect pursuers directly while injured, he repeatedly exploited Mist Valley's terrain, their fears, and fractures in their formation. He considers hunting his enemies an enjoyable test of patience and timing. 107 117 121

Despite his cruelty, Hu Feibai recognizes talent. He respected Li Yun's rapid advancement, taught him the complete Dan-Forming stage of the Blood Blade Scripture, and offered practical corrections during their sparring session. 101 104 114

  • Used a nearly three-zhang Blood Blade Slash to tear a gap in the Four Saints Formation. 104
  • His intent-infused Blood Blade killed Zhao Meng and shattered the Four Saints Formation. 121
  • Perfected intent did not protect him from Li Yun's surprise attack, which combined Blood Demon Blade Intent with Dan Force. 127

Blood Blade Technique and Blood Blade Scripture

Hu Feibai is the creator and foremost practitioner of the Blood Blade Sect's inherited art.

  • Placed a Blood Blade Sword Intent restriction inside Mu Fuwan, threatening to make her explode into blood mist if she resisted. 100
  • Used blood-evil aura to strengthen his manifested blades and suppress opponents. 107 121
  • Attempted to control Li Yun through a Blood Path Secret Technique after being wounded. 128
  • Triggered a self-detonation mark made from lifelong Blood Fiend Qi after his dantian was destroyed; the released energy nearly drove Mu Fuwan into a murderous frenzy. 129

  • Used Mist Valley's miasma, concealed paths, and multiple cave entrances to evade and ambush the Clear Wood Sect group. 111 120 121
  • Manipulated Shi Poshan's pride into a fatal opening and exploited Song Shan's fear to isolate Mu Fuwan. 123

Equipment / Weapons / Items

  • Heavenly Silkworm Armor — Treasure armor worn beneath his robes; withstood Li Yun's initial surprise strike, though not without severe injury. 127
  • Ghost Fire Demon Horse — Fifth-rank demonic mount Hu Feibai had previously subdued; its straight-line speed rivals that of a Xiantian expert. 99 100 111

  • Xiantian Origin Crystals — Used as cultivation resources and fed to the Ghost Fire Demon Horse during his escape. 100 117
  • Mist Valley map — An animal-hide map marking a route to his hidden refuge within the Hundred Thousand Mountains. 110

  • Shi Poshan — Clear Wood Sect pursuer whose pride Hu Feibai exploited before killing him. 122 123

“A true hunter is never in a hurry to close the net; only with sufficient patience can one wait for the perfect moment to strike a fatal blow.” 117

“Kill anyone who blocks your path, kill any Buddha who stands in your way!” 101
