Bitter Realm: A Happy Person Traveling Across China

Scenes from long ago—

The dark, dilapidated wooden house reeked of cheap liquor and mold.

The young Yu Ren Fei Jing huddled in a corner, his body covered in bruises.

A drunken, grimacing man staggered over and slapped him across the face: "You brat, always giving me that stinky face! It's bad luck!"

Beside them, a heavily made-up woman with a mean-spirited look—Feifei, Yu Renfei's mother—shrieked in agreement, "That unlucky fellow, he was born to kill his father, he's a jinx! Just kill him, kill him!"

Encouraged, the three ringleaders' eyes gleamed even more menacingly: "You mean I can kill him?"

The alluring Feifei replied casually, "Whatever."

In extreme fear and anger, the young winged man trembled as he pulled a short knife from his bosom, gripping the hilt tightly until his knuckles turned white.

The three villains were taken aback when they saw the knife in his hand, then let out a wild laugh: "Ha! Your fist is clenched so tightly, did Lonely Que give you this knife? Go ahead and kill me if you dare! If you don't kill me, I'll kill you!"

He spoke as he approached with a sinister grin.

The winged man trembled all over, his blade pointed at the three evil leaders, hesitant to stab them.

"Useless trash!" The third villain lost his patience, his face contorted with murderous intent. He drew his sword and lunged forward, shouting, "I'll kill you, you unlucky bastard!"

In the extreme shock of a life-or-death moment, the young Yu Ren finally broke down, screaming, closing his eyes and stabbing the short sword forward with all his might—

"Pfft!"

Warm liquid splashed all over his face. He opened his eyes and saw the three villains staring wide-eyed in disbelief as they slowly collapsed.

The dagger was stuck in his heart.

The alluring Feifei let out a piercing scream...

After the memory ended, the red of reality and nightmare completely blurred and boiled in Yu Renfei Jing's eyes!

The shadow of betrayal and abuse from childhood memories, the fear of violence and infidelity symbolized by the color red...

All the dark demons that had been forcibly suppressed by reason were completely ignited at this moment by those two festive red dresses!

"Ugh—" A suppressed roar of endless pain and madness burst from the winged man's throat.

His eyes were bloodshot, his rational defenses completely collapsed, and his right hand, uncontrollably moving at a speed that left only a blur, reached for the hilt of the sword at his waist—the Divine Sword Heavenly Cry!

"Clang—"

A clear yet mournful sword cry suddenly rang out, drowning out the festive sounds that filled the hall!

A cold, icy, and lightning-fast blade of light suddenly erupted from the corner, tearing through the warm air and the crimson expanse. Carrying the uncontrolled killing intent of Yu Renfeijing and the shrill screams of his inner demons, it pierced straight towards the groom, Gui Liangfeiyu, who was immersed in happiness and completely unprepared.

That strike was too fast! Too sudden!

It defies common sense. Who would have thought that on such a joyous occasion, Yu Ren Fei Jing would suddenly turn on the newlyweds and kill them?

Most of the guests didn't even have time to react before they saw a flash of white light.

Gui Liang Tianxia, ​​Tan Wuyu, Mu Shaoai and the others also changed their expressions drastically. They were equally stunned by this sudden change. Before they could react, the blade was already in front of Gui Liang Feiyu.

In that critical moment, when life and death were decided—

"Space-Time Shift!"

A low, calm, almost cold shout rang out from the other side of the banquet.

Suddenly, Ye Jinming, who had been leisurely drinking, appeared beside Feng Qianji and made a grabbing motion in the air!

In an instant, the space around Feng Qianji twisted and folded strangely, his face still bearing the smile he had just worn after offering a toast, along with a hint of bewilderment...

He was as if he had been seized by an invisible giant hand, and without any power to resist, he was pulled into the air by an overwhelming spatial force. He was perfectly positioned on the trajectory of the Divine Blade Tianqi's sure-kill strike, taking the place of Gui Liangfeiyu!

All of this happened in the blink of an eye. From the Feathered Man drawing his sword to Nightfall casting a spell to pull someone aside and block the attack, it all happened almost simultaneously!

"Pfft—"

The dull thud of a sharp blade piercing flesh was clearly audible to everyone.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment.

The cold blade pierced through Feng Qianji's chest without any resistance, with half of the blood-stained tip protruding from his back.

Feng Qianji's smile froze instantly, turning into extreme astonishment and pain. He looked down in disbelief at the divine blade belonging to Yu Renfei Jing protruding from his chest, opened his mouth, but only a mouthful of blood foam came out.

The wine glass in his hand crashed to the ground with a "crack," shattering into pieces. The wine mixed with blood spread rapidly.

The tip of the Divine Blade Heavenly Cry, having pierced through Feng Qianji's body, had exhausted its power and stopped less than half an inch before Gui Liangfei's chest!

The icy blade energy had even pierced through the outermost layer of red brocade.

Gui Liangfei felt an incomparably sharp killing intent and chill assail him, and his hair stood on end instantly, as the shadow of death enveloped him.

He stiffly looked up, and what came into view was Feng Qianji's wide eyes, filled with pain and confusion, and the blood-stained long knife that had pierced through his body and almost touched his chest.

The immense fear that followed was like ice water poured over his head, instantly turning his face deathly pale, chilling him to the bone, and making his heart almost stop beating.

If Feng Qianji hadn't "suddenly" appeared here... he himself would have been the one to be pierced!

Meanwhile, Ye Jinming flashed forward and pulled Gui Liangfei and Yan Qingcheng back.

Everything happened so fast that Gui Liangfeiyu didn't even have time to react. But when he saw Ye Jinming grabbing him, he instantly realized that it was this new friend who had saved him, even though it involved Feng Qianji...

"Manager Feng..."

"Ah, murder..."

Gui Liang Tianxia and several members of the Gui Liang family let out a grief-stricken roar.

The joyous clamor that filled the hall was abruptly cut off by a giant hand.

A deathly silence descended, leaving only the bewildered, fading sounds of the string and wind instruments, and the gasps of some people.

All the guests were stunned, staring speechlessly at the bloody and bizarre scene:

On the red carpet, the bride and groom were still in shock, while not far away, Feng Qianji, the undercover agent of the evil pit, had not yet served his purpose when he was stabbed through the chest, his blood staining the ground red...

"Drip...drip..." Blood dripped from Feng Qianji's chest along the tip of the knife, sounding particularly jarring in the silence.

After the murder, warm blood splattered onto Yu Renfeijing's face. That familiar, rusty, warm touch was like a final, heavy blow, slamming into his mind, which was clouded by his inner demons.

"I...I..." Yu Renfei's bloodshot eyes trembled violently, the blood color in front of him gradually faded, and reason returned like the tide.

He saw the frozen astonishment and pain in the other person's eyes, the horrified, fearful, and angry gazes of the guests, Mu Shaoai's pale face and Tan Wuyu's solemn expression, and he also saw the shock of Gui Liang Feiyu's narrow escape from death and the furious look in Gui Liang Tianxia's eyes...

"Ah..." Yu Renfei staggered back a step, looked down at his blood-stained divine sword, and his body began to tremble violently uncontrollably.

Boundless regret, self-loathing, and fear, like cold, venomous snakes, instantly coiled around his heart, almost suffocating him.

The wedding banquet turned into a complete battleground.

And those two streaks of crimson that triggered everything, now appeared to him only as endless sin and scarlet.

At this moment, the retainers of Gui Liang's military mansion took action, intending to capture the thief.

Tan Wuyu and Mu Shaoai quickly stepped in to stop them.

The wedding, which should have been a joyous occasion, turned into chaos, and Yu Ren Fei Jing managed to escape in the confusion...
