The chivalrous spirit is fickle

But if you look closely, you will find that he is not looking at anyone, or perhaps everyone is an insignificant stepping stone in his eyes.

True arrogance comes from a heartfelt disregard and a condescending pity.

Shen Zhui looked at the messy crowd, swept his eyes across them, and his heart was as calm as water.

Over the years, he has undoubtedly been the strongest among the younger generation.

Among the five major sects, no young disciple could be compared with him. Just as the leader told him, most people in this world are born to set off a minority.

Even if the competition today was about music, chess, calligraphy and painting, Shen Zhui didn't think anyone would be his opponent.

Suddenly, a strong fragrance came, with a hint of fireworks.

Shen Zhui was slightly startled and turned his head to look, only to see a slightly plump young man lighting a fire in the peach orchard and roasting dog meat.

The slightly plump boy happened to meet Shen Zhui's eyes. He grinned and waved to Shen Zhui.

"Boss Shen, this way!"

Shen Zhui raised his eyebrows slightly, put on a smile, and strode over. The slightly plump boy was the closed disciple of the leader of the Xuanming Division, Wanye.

Wan Ye is not the strongest disciple of Xuan Ming Si, but he is the most talented one and is highly valued by the sect. He has fought with Shen Zhui several times but never won a single time. He was completely defeated by Shen Zhui and followed his lead.

Shen Zhuixing walked up to Wanye, waved his hand, put out the fire, and scolded him.

"Wanye, this is not the place to make a fire."

Wanye smiled when he heard this, shook the roasted dog leg in his hand and said.

"Boss Shen, you know my temper. Asking me to sit here and wait is like asking for my life."

"By the way, this meat has just been grilled. Do you want me to give you a piece?"

Shen Zhui shook his head and sighed.

"Don't mess around. You are representing the face of your Xuanming Division now. Please be careful."

Upon hearing this, Wan Ye no longer refuted anything. He just took a bite of dog meat, took a sip of wine, and said to Shen Zhui with a smile.

"Boss Shen, I heard from my master that Qingcheng Shigu is also participating in this martial arts conference. What are your plans?"

When he heard Shi Gu's name, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Shen Zhui's eyes, and his originally gentle face instantly became gloomy.

"Humph, Qingcheng Shigu, he dared to kill my brother, so I will naturally not be polite."

"During the Martial Arts Convention, our five major sects cannot settle the scores with him, but when the convention is over, I will take his life."

Wanye was stunned. He had never seen Shen Zhui so murderous. After taking a bite of dog meat, he couldn't help but whispered.

"Boss, I have to remind you."

"My master has some friendship with Shi Gu. He told me that Shi Gu is not that simple. You have to be careful."

Shen Zhui snorted coldly and said.

"He is nothing but a despicable villain. Without those despicable means, he is nothing."

"He is just a nobody."

Wanye sighed, shook the wine jug in his hand and said.

"Since you said so, Boss, if I meet Qingcheng Shigu in the next competition, I will help test his strength first."

Hearing this, Shen Zhui's expression eased a little. He reached out and patted Wan Ye's shoulder, but spoke in a low voice.

"Don't use too much force. I should be the one to take his life."

Wanye shrugged slightly, but smiled freely.

"I can't guarantee that. Boss, you know that I don't take my shots lightly."

Shen Zhui smiled but said nothing when he heard this. Wan Ye was not a good-tempered person. When fighting with others, he liked to break the opponent's limbs and slowly torture his opponent. He was quite cruel.

Just at this moment, there was a sudden commotion in the field. Wanye glanced over, his face darkened, and said in a low voice.

"Those two annoying guys from the East Sea Sword Sect and Medicine King Valley are here."

Hearing this, Shen Zhui frowned and turned around to look, only to see a young man and woman walking slowly towards him surrounded by a crowd.

The girl was wearing a plain white dress and had a cold look on her face. She held a long sword in her arms. Her lotus steps moved lightly, like a sharp sword, shining with a cold light that made people's eyes hurt slightly.

The man had a gloomy look on his face. He had no weapons in his hands, but a green snake was wrapped around his wrist. The snake's head was extremely narrow, like a sharp thorn, which made people feel uneasy.

Shen Zhui frowned slightly, but stepped forward and saluted the two men with his fists clasped.

"Miss Zou Si, Brother Feng Yi, long time no see."

The young man called Feng Yi smiled and clasped his fists in return.

"Brother Shen, long time no see."

Feng Yi, the nominal chief disciple of Yaowang Valley, is at the early eighth level of martial arts. He has mastered the art of poison and rarely uses his skills in the martial world, but when he does, he is extremely vicious and cruel.

According to rumors, in order to punish a traitor in Yaowang Valley, Feng Yi planted a deadly poison in the traitor's parents. The poison spread and eventually turned the entire village into a poisonous land. There were no living people left, only countless purple butterflies living among the piles of bones.

The girl holding the sword was named Zou Si. She was from the East Sea Sword Sect. She was cold and taciturn. She nodded slightly at Shen Zhui as a greeting.

The Yulin League has a lot of dealings with Yaowang Valley and often cooperates with them. They are well-known allies in the martial arts world, but Shen Zhui just can't like Feng Yi.

Feng Yi is too vicious and cruel, and is not a competent ally, so Shen Zhui and Feng Yi have always been at odds with each other.

Shen Zhui raised his eyebrows slightly, glanced at a few people, and then frowned slightly. In the eyes of others, these people were his biggest threats in this martial arts conference, but Shen Zhui did not think that the three people in front of him were any threat.

In the past few years, Shen Zhui had fought against these three people and maintained a perfect record. In his opinion, these three people were just his defeated opponents and could not be considered a threat.

The real threat should be...

Suddenly, the noise in Taoyuan stopped and fell into dead silence, as if a singing bird had its throat suddenly strangled by a big hand and could no longer make any sound.

The air was filled with murderous intent and a sudden chill.

At this moment, everyone present looked in the same direction with fear in their eyes.

Amid the falling petals, a young man with one leg, one arm, and one eye, stepped on the falling peach blossoms, looking down on all living things, and walked slowly towards them with a surging murderous aura.

The murderous aura gathered and condensed into substance, transforming into transparent blood-red legs, hands, and eyes, completing the man's missing parts.

Shen Zhui's pupils shrank slightly, he became more alert than ever before, and slowly called out the man's name.

"Ye Xing."

Among all people, Ye Xing, who claimed to be the next Zhu Tian Jie Sha, was the one Shen Zhui really cared about. He was also his only recognized opponent and his real threat.

Ye Xing had an indifferent expression as he walked slowly into the peach orchard. A murderous aura emanated from his body and he didn't care about anyone else at all. He found a peach tree and sat down as if no one was around.

Seeing this, Shen Zhui walked quickly over, came to Ye Xing with burning eyes, and said in a deep voice.

"Sir, don't you want to say hello?"

Hearing this, Ye Xing slowly opened his eyes, looked at Shen Zhui in front of him with his transparent blood-red pupils, lowered his eyebrows slightly, and said lightly.

"I know you, and you know who I am."

"Why do you even need to say hello?"

Shen Zhui raised the corner of his mouth and smiled gently. He put his hands behind his back, leaned forward slightly, looked at Ye Xing who had an indifferent expression, and spoke in a low voice.

"You look stronger than those guys. I really want to fight you right now."

Ye Xing blinked, looked at Shen Zhui, and said seriously.

"You look strong and qualified to be my opponent. Do you want to fight me?"

As the two talked, they ignored the other contestants. In their eyes, only the other person was qualified to be their opponent in this martial arts conference.

It seems that the final winner will only be decided between these two people.

Chapter 45 Opening

The tit-for-tat confrontation was tense.

This was the first time Ye Xing and Shen Zhui met. It seemed that from the first sight, the two had an indescribable disgust for each other.

The kind of disgust that makes you want to crush the other person, burn them to ashes, and completely wipe them out from this world.

Shen Zhui narrowed his eyes slightly and looked coldly at Ye Xing, his biggest rival. Killing intent surged up in his mind, but in the end, he put away his killing intent and turned away.

"Today is just a written test. If you want to fight me, you have to pass this test first."

Upon hearing this, Ye Xing remained silent and closed his eyes again, as if he was indifferent to all this. However, the petals falling from his head were torn to pieces by an invisible force.

Everyone in Taoyuan fixed their eyes on these two people. They knew very well that these two were the real protagonists of this martial arts conference, and the others were just here to serve as a foil.

As time went by, more and more people came into Taoyuan, and amidst the noise, Shi Gu, Shen Yue and Su Xue arrived late.

From the moment he stepped into Taoyuan, Shi Gu could feel countless eyes on him. Today he was not wearing the human skin mask and showed his original face.

This is nothing. Even if he has some fame, not many people really think highly of him. But the problem is that his brain is really valuable.

The valuable ones made Shi Gu consider making a fake human head to collect the reward.

"Master, why are these people looking at you?"

Shen Yue was used to being carefree and didn't care about the gazes of these people at all, but she was still a little confused.

Shi Gu smacked his lips and said casually.

"As I said before, your master is a big shot in the martial arts world. Most of these people just admire my reputation."

When saying this, Shi Gu did not hide anything and spoke in a loud voice so that the crowd could hear it clearly.

The crowd was suddenly in an uproar, and their eyes turned toward Shi Gu with unfriendly intent, while Shi Gu waved at the crowd again and again, smiling brightly, a smile that made people angry.

"Release the bones!"

Suddenly, a scolding voice was heard in Taoyuan, and a white figure broke through the air and pressed down on Shigu with a palm.

Without waiting for Shi Gu to make a move, Su Xue, who had been silent all the time, suddenly raised her head and met the attack with a palm.

Boom! Amidst the dull roar, the two palms roared, the air flow surged, and a gust of wind was set off.

After one palm strike, the white figure fell to the ground. Su Xue wanted to pursue him, but was held down by Shi Gu.

The white figure was wearing a white sword shirt, had a handsome face, and a jade pendant on his waist. He was obviously a young disciple of the Yulin League, but at the fourth level of martial arts.

The Yulin League disciple had a gloomy expression on his face. He looked at Shigu and said coldly.

"You murderer, you actually dare to come here, don't you want to live?"

After saying that, the Yulin League disciple sneered, spread his legs, and spoke to Shigu with disdain.

"You can join the martial arts conference if you want, as long as you get under my crotch."

Shi Gu was at the eighth level of martial arts, and this was something that everyone in the martial arts world knew. However, this disciple of Yulin League, who was only at the fourth level of martial arts, dared to shout at Shi Gu, who was at the eighth level of martial arts.

If it were someone else, people would think he was tired of living, but since he was a disciple of the Yulin League, people thought it was natural.

People from the Yulin League should be so domineering, even if the opponent is an eighth-grade martial artist, especially in Taoyuan, which is the territory of the five major sects.

Is it possible that there is anyone in this world who has not reached the ninth level of martial arts and dares to provoke the Yulin Alliance on its territory?

Especially this Shi Gu, who has no sect or school, and has offended all the major forces in the martial arts world, and has no backing.

Everyone in Taoyuan thought so, and believed that Shi Gu could only avoid this disciple of Yulin League in shame.

There was a flash of murderous intent in Su Xue's eyes, and she was about to draw her sword. Shen Yue's eyes flickered slightly, and there seemed to be flashes of black flames.

However, Shi Gu just smiled and asked the Yulin League disciple in a gentle manner.

"Have you ever married?"

The Yulin League disciple was startled when he heard that, then raised his eyebrows. When he was about to speak, Shi Gu's figure suddenly appeared in front of him. He tightened his right leg and slammed down on the crotch of the Yulin League disciple with a force like a storm.

With a muffled thud, the facial features of the Yulin League disciple were instantly distorted, almost crumpled into a ball, his face was pale, without a trace of blood.

"you you……"

The Yulin League disciple covered his crotch, trembling so much that he couldn't utter a complete sentence. Then he fell to the ground and passed out in severe pain, his body still twitching.

Shi Gu looked at the disciples of the Yulin League who had lost everything, shook his head and said with regret.

"You dare to spread your legs without a wife? You don't cherish her at all."

There was deathly silence in Taoyuan. Only at this moment did people belatedly realize that if Shi Gu really cared about the power of Yulin League, then how could he possibly offend the five major sects.

"hiss……"
