547 Should I Kill You Instead?
"Such a powerful saber! Hu Haifeng mustered all his strength to fight that kid! It seems like he is going to be cut in half!"
"Hu Haifeng is absolutely merciless! That kid will not die immediately if the slash that is about to land on him is swift! He will have the chance to witness his internal organs spill out from his body! This is definitely the worst way to torture someone!"
"You guys have underestimated Hu Haifeng! Long ago, there was one person that he cut in half. Before he stopped breathing, Hu Haifeng cut off both of his hands, ears, and gouged out his eyes! Lastly, he decapitated him!"
"Damn! This old man is sick to the core! Going against him is definitely not a good idea…"
"Look at that kid! He is still using his pen to act tough in front of Hu Haifeng! Does he know he is about to be cut in half?"
.....
Horrified, the crowd was certain that Chen Xiaobei would definitely be killed by Hu Haifeng. At the same time, the masked lady, Dongtiao Wugui, and Octadic Spectral Squad were ready to take action to prevent that lethal slash from landing on Chen Xiaiobei. Even Li Xiang was in dilemma; to save him or ignore him? Other than Feng Qingyang, there was no one in the crowd that thought that Chen Xiaobei could somehow turn the tide around.
Lo and behold, the crowd was awestruck the next second!
*Swoosh*
With the blade charging at Chen Xiaobei, Hu Haifeng's fifteen thousand combat power was fully unleashed! The attack carried six thousand pounds worth of force and the crowd could hear the wind roaring! Set aside the flesh of the living, this slash could easily split a huge stone in half!
In a matter of seconds, Chen Xiaobei was about to be sliced in half. The bystanders looked grim. Meanwhile, those who were ready to save Chen Xiaobei were extremely nervous. Feeling calm, Chen Xiaobei was not bothered by this life-threatening circumstance. He swung the Ma Liang Divine Pen in his hand and the golden tip of the pen brushed across the Green Dragon Crescent Blade. It looked like the pen did nothing to the blade.
*Crack*
The sound of metal cracking echoed in the air. A gentle stroke from the pen just sliced the magnificent and heavy blade in half! The cut was extremely precise! It was like using a pair of scissors to cut a piece of paper–clean and quick!
"Shit!"
Immediately, Hu Haifeng noticed something dire when the golden pen brushed across his blade. However, he was not prepared for it; it was too late for him to do anything about it!
*Swoosh*
Chen Xiaobei swung his pen that was sharper than a blade, which landed on Hu Haifeng's right shoulder! Instantly, Hu Haifeng received a clean cut on his right shoulder. His right arm fell to the ground and blood spurted out from the wound like a fountain! The old adage 'The pen is mightier than the sword' literally came true.
With only two strokes from the pen, Chen Xiaobei presented to the crowd a different way of using a pen to kill someone literally!
"Ouch! Ouch!"
The squeals from Hu Haifeng gave the crowd a wake-up call. Waves of shocked murmurs surfaced from the crowd.
"What… What the f*ck?! That pen just sliced the blade in half! Am I imagining things?"
"That kid is not acting tough after all! He is truly remarkable! He managed to cripple Hu Haifeng within seconds! This is truly terrifying!"
"Can anyone tell me what the hell is going on? This defies the law of nature!"
"No! This is definitely not science!"
...…
Baffled, most of them could not figure out the logic behind the incident that they just witnessed. Of course, some experienced Jianghu elites knew exactly what was going on.
"Magical item! That pen is a magical item!"
Standing there dumbfounded, Dongtiao Wugui lost his composure after he knew the truth.
"This is not possible… There are only three magical items in the whole of Japan! It is not possible for a kid like him to own something this powerful!"
One of the members of the Octadic Spectral Squad was stuttering in fright. Dongtiao Wugui could not hear a single word from that Octadic Squad member. He had his eyes locked on the Ma Liang Divine Pen like a pervert staring at a voluptuous woman. With a greedy look in his eyes, he said, "I need to get my hands on that pen no matter what!"
"Magical item! I can't believe he possesses a magical item…"
The masked lady was shocked beyond imagination.
"So, it's true… I remember Deity Lu once used a magical hossu to break a legendary sword…It made our faction leader really jealous of him… I would never imagine that a kid like him possesses a magical item!"
Qiao'er mumbled with her eyes wide open.
"Stop spouting nonsense! Not another word to anyone when we head back later. Understood?"
The masked lady commanded.
"Okay… I will bear that in mind…"
Qiao'er nodded. Upon hearing this serious tone, she knew that she must follow what her mistress asked her to do! For sure, this was not up for discussion!
On the other hand, Li Yunlin looked worried. He tried his best to lower his voice and shouted at Li Xiang.
"Gramps! What's wrong with you? Don't freak me out… Gramps…"
Li Xiang stood there like a statue. Streams of sweat started to cascade down his forehead. A mixture of emotions and thoughts were running through his mind and it could be seen from his eyes.
Nervousness.
Surprise.
Excitement.
Expectation.
Li Yunlin had never seen grandfather act this way; like he was possessed by an evil spirit. Something must be wrong!
"I will not let him die! I will not let Chen Xiaobei die no matter what! I've decided… I have grand plans with that young man!"
Suddenly, Li Xiang said out loud.
"Gramps… Have you thought about it thoroughly?"
Li Yunlin gulped several times, his palms sweaty.
"I have put some serious thought into it! Chen Xiaobei's power is beyond our imagination! We must not make him our enemy no matter what! It has been five hundred years! Finally, I found someone that can help me with my problem!"
"That might set the Li Family on a destructive path! However, it might be able to set the Li Family to the path of success as well!"
.....
"Old man! What say you? Do we continue fighting or should I just cut off your head?"
Chen Xiaobei was fiddling with the Ma Liang Divine Pen. He might sound calm but his words exuded a powerful aura.
"I…"
Hu Haifeng gritted his teeth while enduring the excruciating pain. One could see that he looked very conflicted. Carrying on with the battle was not an option for him anymore. Firstly, he did not have the guts to do so. Secondly, he was too afraid of the magical item in Chen Xiaobei's hand and his true power.
Through the battle just now, Hu Haifeng found that Chen Xiaobei's speed was equivalent to sixteen thousand combat power. In other words, his combat power was much higher than his! The combination of the magical item and his combat power could easily defeat him, rendering him powerless against Chen Xiaobei.
"My brothers! Three of you must save me! We are from Jianghu! I don't think you guys will allow an outsider to shine his light here!"
Without any hesitation, Hu Haifeng turned around to beg the three elites with Half Step True Nirvana Stage.
"Don't worry! We will not let him kill you!"
The three old men did not like Chen Xiaobei from the beginning. Naturally, they would agree with Hu Haifeng.
"I have mentioned earlier that I need pig and dog heads to sacrifice to gods in order to set up my faction. Should I kill the three of you instead if I were to let him live?" Chen Xiaobei narrowed his gaze and put on a grim smile.
