I found myself uncontrollably retreating, as if a giant hammer had struck my chest, blood spurting from my mouth. Little did I know that Shi Bu Er was truly ruthless, quickly closing in on me once more.
To my surprise, Ruo Yu, seeing that I was in mortal danger, disregarded his own safety and let out a roar, transforming into his true form and charging straight at Shi Bu Er.
It was this collision that granted me a glimmer of hope and a moment to catch my breath.
Shi Bu Er, relying solely on his bare hands, managed to block the several hundred pounds of Ruo Yu's true form, then delivered a brutal kick to Ruo Yu's abdomen.
Bang...
Ruo Yu crashed heavily to the ground, sliding through the grass for quite a distance before finally coming to a stop, lying there motionless, his life uncertain.
"To think I would encounter a Wild Boar Spirit with awakened intelligence—what a windfall," Shi Bu Er chuckled.
I propped myself up against a tree, my eyes bloodshot as I watched Shi Bu Er approach Ruo Yu step by step. "Since he has gained wisdom, this treasure cannot be wasted in this lifetime."
Shi Bu Er held a dagger that glinted coldly in the light.
A layer of blood mist clouded my vision, my mind was in chaos, yet a clear voice resonated within me: Ruo Yu cannot die; he is my brother, a brother bound by life and death.
Even if it meant sacrificing myself, I could not let him perish.
Shi Bu Er soon reached the spot where Ruo Yu lay. He first kicked the already unconscious Ruo Yu with his foot and raised the gleaming blade in his hand. "Every pig has its treasures; how much more so for a wild boar? This meat must be exceptionally delicious."
He licked his lips eagerly, displaying an insatiable hunger.
I didn’t know where the strength came from, but I grabbed the Ruyi Stick and charged forward. This was an unprecedented feeling.
The Great Shift Technique allowed me to move at such incredible speed.
I estimated that Shi Bu Er didn't expect me to still be able to move; he had underestimated me. So when my Ruyi Stick swept across, he was just a moment too slow.
Clang...
I struck the tip of Shi Bu Er's finger with my stick, and the dagger fell to the ground with a thud, leaving only the hilt exposed.
Shi Bu Er clenched his fist, his expression darkening. "It seems I underestimated you. Flies are indeed troublesome. Poppy, kill him."
The beautiful woman I had seen earlier was named Poppy, and like others, she possessed a deceptively enchanting appearance—exceptionally beautiful but laced with deadly poison.
Poppy replied respectfully, "Yes!" As she raised her gaze, hidden weapons slipped between her fingers and flew toward me.
I twirled my Ruyi Stick into a flurry of shadows, and after a series of metallic clangs, Poppy was already at my side.
Having fought her before, I knew how difficult she was to deal with, especially in close quarters; it felt like being stuck with a leech—impossible to shake off.
I executed a sweeping motion with my stick, creating a gust of wind that forced Poppy back. Seizing the opportunity, I used the Great Shift Technique to retreat quickly. As long as I could create some distance between us, I could hold on for a while longer.
Seeing me back away, Poppy's enchanting face instantly twisted with anger—perhaps she felt humiliated in front of her boss. When she attacked again, her speed had inexplicably increased by ten percent.
If I were at my peak condition, an increase in speed would be manageable. However, after two grueling battles and suffering from previous injuries, my stamina was already drained.
Before I knew it, several cuts appeared on my body. Perhaps due to the numbing pain, I barely felt them. Poppy still held sharp blades between her fingers and smiled sweetly at me before licking the bloodied edge of her weapon.
The gesture was undeniably seductive. In any other context, it would have made any man fantasize endlessly. But in this moment, all I saw in her eyes was danger and a chilling intent to kill.
Shi Bu Er chuckled. "Aren't you quite impressive? Now I'm going to dissect your Zhu Jing friend. If you have any guts, come save him!" He provocatively raised the dagger in his hand.
I cursed countless times in my heart, but could I just stand by and watch this pervert kill Ruo Yu?
No, I couldn't! But right in front of me, Poppy had me completely at her mercy. My heart felt like it was being roasted in Tai Shang Lao Jun's alchemy furnace—anxious, furious, helpless, and hateful all at once.
"Damn it! If you dare to lay a finger on my brother, I, Ling Feng, swear that I will make you suffer a thousand cuts!" My eyes felt like they were about to pop out of their sockets as I shouted at Shi Bu Er, my voice strained as if someone had their hands around my throat.
Shi Bu Er smiled innocently, the knife gliding lightly across Ruo Yu's abdomen, blood gushing out in large quantities. "I've had plenty of people threaten me and even more who want me dead. Who do you think you are?"
Then he turned sharply to Poppy and said, "Poppy, your skills have really weakened lately. It takes you this long to deal with an injured person?"
Poppy seemed terrified of Shi Bu Er; she didn't even dare to look him in the eye. Yet her grip tightened significantly as she unleashed all her fury on me.
"Damn your grandmother..."
Seeing Ruo Yu lying on the ground, vulnerable and at the mercy of others, my heart felt like it was about to explode. I couldn't care less about the risk of being entangled with Poppy; I lunged forward and wrapped my arms around her tightly.
Then I squeezed hard. With all my strength...
Men naturally have an advantage in size over women. I held Poppy firmly in place while she struggled to break free, her fists pounding against my waist.
One hit, two hits, three hits...
I barely felt any pain and instead slammed my head against Poppy's. She punched me in the side, and I crashed into her head.
I must have lost a lot of blood because everything in front of me was becoming blurry. I didn't know how many times I had collided with her; all I knew was that the person I had pinned down was no longer moving.
I tossed Poppy aside and wiped the blood from my face. I couldn't tell if it was mine or hers. The people surrounding us looked on with fear etched on their faces—as if they were staring at a ghost.
With every step I took, they retreated a step.
Shi Bu Er seemed to sense the change in the atmosphere and halted his subordinates' movements. I slowly walked towards Shi Bu Er, or rather, towards Ruo Yu.
Even if it meant fighting until my last breath, I would protect Ruo Yu until the very last second.
Shi Bu Er's expression grew serious, not out of fear, but he sighed and said, "I haven't encountered someone like you in a long time. Out of respect, I will grant you a dignified death."
Shi Bu Er stood up and looked at me as he spoke slowly.
In truth, my ears were filled with a buzzing sound. I could see Shi Bu Er's lips moving, but I couldn't hear anything.
The only thought in my mind was that even if I died, I wanted to die alongside Ruo Yu. Even if we ended up in the underworld, we could still keep each other company and share a drink.
At worst, eighteen years later, I would still be a good man!
