Bitter Realm: A Happy Person Traveling Across China

The Pit of Sin, the setting sun like blood, the west wind sweeping across.

The scorched sand, baked hot by the setting sun, could not dispel the chilling murderous intent permeating the air.

Dugu Que had a change of heart and went on a killing spree in the Pit of Sin, only to be met with a laugh from the Mad Dragon.

The two engaged in a life-or-death duel, but unfortunately, Lonely was missing an arm and his heart was not as sinister as Mad Dragon's.

Finally, he was tricked by Kuanglong's laugh and was defeated, kneeling on the ground.

Kuanglong chuckled and said, "Almost there."

Loneliness, radiating pain, caused him to break out in a cold sweat. "Did you design that weakness yourself?"

Mad Dragon retorted sarcastically, "Don't you know? Being scammed in the Pit of Sin is your just deserts!"

Dugu Que scoffed, "If this flaw was specifically prepared for me, then Dugu Que has certainly gained enough face!"

Kuanglong looked smug: "Hahaha, all the preparations will come in handy someday, I just never thought they'd be used on you."

Lonely Que then snorted coldly, "Hmph, I have one last thing to say?"

Kuanglong was somewhat surprised: "What last words?"

Lonely Que then launched into a tirade of curses: "Give my regards to your mother..."

Looking at Dugu Que, who was bravely facing death, Kuanglong laughed loudly.

Then, the Reverse Scale Chain Blade was raised high, its blade poised to sever Lonely Que's head and end this farce.

Just as the blade struck—

"boom--"

A powerful and unstoppable palm strike, like clouds hanging from the heavens, crashed down from beyond the sky!

Before the palm strike even arrived, the aura of purity and righteousness, yet carrying the suppressed rage of many years, already made Kuanglong's hair stand on end!

"Huh?" Mad Dragon reacted extremely quickly, parrying with his chain blade.

"Clang—" A loud clang of metal clashing against metal exploded with a shockwave. The Mad Dragon was forced back three steps by the force of the palm strike, and a deep crater was blasted into the sand beneath his feet.

He suddenly looked up, his bloodshot eyes fixed on the source of the palm strike.

A graceful figure dressed in a wine-red Taoist robe descended slowly from the sky, stepping on flowing clouds.

The newcomer had clear, bright features, yet harbored a thunderous rage; he was none other than the person Mad Dragon Laughs hated and feared most in his life—

Lin Wushuang!

"Lin, Wu, Shuang—" Kuanglong spat out the name through gritted teeth, then burst into maniacal laughter, "Hahaha! Excellent! Excellent! I didn't even bother looking for you, and you actually delivered yourself to my doorstep! Did you smell death and come to join this traitor on his journey?"

"Mad Dragon, you are truly insane and beyond redemption!" Lin Wushuang's gaze swept over the critically injured and dying Gu Duque, then returned to Mad Dragon's twisted face. His eyes blazed with fury and hatred, his clenched fists turning white at the knuckles. "Today, I will teach you a lesson on behalf of Lian Emei!"

"On behalf of my sister? Bah—" Mad Dragon spat, his chain knife clanging in his hand, his face full of mockery and resentment. "Who do you think you are, daring to mention my sister? You really think you're my brother-in-law?"

Before the words were even finished, the murderous intent had already erupted!

The moment the words fell, Kuanglong gave Lin Wushuang no chance to react. His figure rushed forward like a ghost, and the Reverse Scale Chain Blade in his hand transformed into a twisted poisonous dragon. The blade spun, the chains howled, and with a shrill whistling sound that tore through space, it went straight for Lin Wushuang's vital points!

This attack was delivered without reservation, unleashing all the jealousy and resentment he had harbored for Lin Wushuang over the years!

Faced with the mad dragon's desperate attack, Lin Wushuang did not move, but his feet seemed to be walking on flowing clouds, and he suddenly retreated.

His footwork appeared slow, but was actually as fast as a ghost. He always managed to avoid the sharpest strike of the chain knife by the slightest margin, his figure as graceful as a white feather in the wind.

The setting sun cast long, distorted shadows of the two figures onto the pit wall, resembling two ferocious beasts fighting for their lives.

The scorching desert sands could not melt the chilling killing intent in each other's eyes.

"Ah—" Unable to break through after a long attack, the mad dragon's frenzy intensified. With a flick of its chain blade, it transformed from a slash into a twist, like a poisonous dragon's tail, wrapping around Lin Wushuang's neck.

"Drink!" Lin Wushuang seized the opportunity and finally made his move!

He pointed his fingers like a sword, gathering a point of refined white cloud energy at his fingertips, and swiftly struck the weak point of the chain knife's joint.

"Clang!" A precise strike caused the chain blade's attack to pause slightly.

The war was ignited by hatred and jealousy; the killing intent froze into frost under old grudges and new resentments.

"Hahaha, all you can do is hide? No wonder you died on Baiyun Mountain after my sister left." Unable to break through after a long siege, Kuanglong couldn't help but mock him.

"Mad Dragon, you..." Lin Wushuang was furious at Mad Dragon's mockery.

"Endless white clouds!" Lin Wushuang no longer backed down. With a palm strike, it was like flowing clouds in the sky, endless and boundless. The mighty palm wind pressed down all over the sky, locking down all of the mad dragon's escape space.

"Raging Dragon Storm!" The Raging Dragon Reverse Scale Chain Blade spun rapidly, man and blade merging into one, transforming into a dark tornado that reached the sky and earth, directly clashing with the Cloud Sea Palm Force!

"Boom—"

Their ultimate moves clashed, the sandstorm shattered, and rubble rained down from the walls of the Pit of Sin.

Amidst the surging energy, the two retreated several feet each, resulting in an even split in the autumnal landscape!

"Hahaha! Lin Wushuang, you've backed down!" Although Kuanglong's blood was churning, he didn't hold back with his words and launched another attack!

He suddenly rose higher, flipped in mid-air, and his chain blade transformed into countless indistinguishable shadows, raining down like a storm: "Raging Dragon Whirlwind!"

"Clouds surge and billow!" Lin Wushuang drew circles with both palms, and the white cloud true energy in front of him surged like raging waves. At the extreme turbulence, it condensed into a sharp line of energy that split the sky and the sea, slashing towards the countless sword shadows.

But after the ultimate move, everyone was shocked.

"Hahaha! That's nothing compared to the power of a mosquito bite!" The mad dragon landed, laughing wildly, his eyes filled with provocation and venom. "Next up, will you unleash that move that defeated me back then, the Ancient Cloud's Ultimate, or that Cloud Flowing Footprint that flaunted your love for my sister? Show it to me now! Hahaha!"

"Vulgar language!" Lin Wushuang roared in fury, his inner energy surging, the white clouds tinged with the color of sunset. "You are not allowed to dishonor the integrity of Lian Emei!"

"Yes, yes, I'm vulgar, and you're shameless!" Mad Dragon's smile twisted, and his words were like knives.

"Ah—" Lin Wushuang could no longer bear it and attacked in anger, his palm wind like a raging wave crashing against the shore, holding nothing back.

"I'll beat you into a meat pie!" Mad Dragon Chain Blade charged forward like a madman.

The palm strikes were like a fierce wind, and the blade flashed like lightning.

The lightning-fast clash was the culmination of years of pent-up resentment; the dust clouding the sun indicated that the duel had reached a fever pitch.

Just as the two were gathering their strength again, preparing to unleash an even more powerful move to decide the outcome of the battle—

A sudden change has occurred!

A cunning glint flashed in Kuanglong's eyes. Instead of attacking Lin Wushuang, the chain blade in his hand suddenly turned, and the chain attached to the blade was like a venomous snake emerging from its hole. With a "whoosh," it wrapped around Gu Duque, who was lying on the ground not far away and had no power to resist. Then, it pulled back sharply, trying to drag Gu Duque in front of him to use as a human shield!

"Despicable!" Lin Wushuang's expression changed drastically. He reversed his fully prepared ultimate move and pushed forward with both palms, sending a powerful palm wind crashing towards the chains.

"Bang!" The chains were broken, and Lonely's body fell to the ground.

Knowing that although there was a chance to defeat Kuanglong at this moment, Guduque would inevitably be affected, and since Kuanglong had resorted to such despicable means, he must have other treacherous schemes to follow.

Lin Wushuang suppressed the killing intent and anger in her heart, and moved like lightning to Dugu Que's side, helping him up.

"Mad Dragon, we'll settle our score another day!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Wushuang had already used his movement technique, transforming into a wisp of cloud, carrying Gu Duque, and instantly disappearing into the depths of the Pit of Sin, leaving only a fleeting afterimage.

"Pah, pah pah pah..." Mad Dragon did not give chase, but spat fiercely in the direction they disappeared, his face showing an uncertain expression.

Then, Kuanglong's gaze swept around, and he saw the strangely shaped longsword that Guduque had left behind.

Kuanglong walked over, bent down to pick it up, his fingertips brushing against the cold blade, a cruel and calculating smile slowly appearing on his face.

"Hey, Lonely Blade, can you help me fish for some more interesting birds?"
