Chapter 94: The Flying Jade Tiger (Bonus chapter for book friend Dragon Ghost Soul)

In the luxuriously decorated hall, it was still very warm and very magnificent.

The lingering scent of powder and wine in the air was still intoxicating.

It was just that when the scent of powder, the scent of wine, and the smell of blood mixed together, it created a nauseating sensation.

What's more, with a dozen corpses lying helter-skelter, it added a touch of gloom to the atmosphere.

Yu Liancheng struck quite casually; those burly men would fly off the moment they made the slightest contact with him. A small portion were down on their luck, accidentally slamming their heads against the walls and dying on the spot. But the majority, while suffering broken bones and fractured muscles, at least managed to preserve their lives.

However, the Three Friends of Winter were not merciful at all; most of the thugs and burly men died at their hands. To experts like them, who could injure others by plucking leaves or throwing flowers, ordinary people were simply too fragile.

The gamblers who had originally wanted to watch the excitement or fish in troubled waters had also fled in a panic, lest they be caught in the crossfire.

Now in the gambling house, apart from Yu Liancheng and his group, only the playboy-like "Silver Kite" Fang Yufei remained standing. He shook his head and was just about to leave, but Yu Liancheng had already blocked his path, smiling slightly: "Hello."

Fang Yufei also smiled and offered a greeting: "Hello."

Yu Liancheng said: "It is said that you are Blue Beard's brother-in-law."

Fang Yufei nodded: "That is correct."

Yu Liancheng laughed: "We killed Blue Beard, so are you not planning to avenge him?"

Fang Yufei said: "I am Blue Beard's brother-in-law, not the brother-in-law of a dead man."

Yu Liancheng already understood his meaning.

A dead man is just a dead man.

A dead man has no name.

A dead man is also not worth risking his life for revenge, because there is not the slightest benefit in it.

Yu Liancheng took a jade tablet out from his bosom and laughed: "This Rakshasa Tablet was given to me by Yu Luosha; do you want it very much?"

"Silver Kite" Fang Yufei first nodded, then shook his head.

Yu Liancheng did not speak, just looked at him, quietly waiting for his explanation.

Fang Yufei said: "The importance of the Rakshasa Tablet goes without saying; I fear there is no one in the Edo who does not want to obtain it. But 'an innocent man is guilty of his own treasure'; once one obtains the Rakshasa Tablet, it means trouble and danger, and one might lose their life at any moment. I only have one life, so even if you were to gift the Rakshasa Tablet to me, I would not want it."

"You are indeed a smart man, because you can understand this principle." Yu Liancheng said indifferently: "But you are not smart enough, because although you understand this principle, you have already set your sights on the Rakshasa Tablet."

Fang Yufei seemed somewhat surprised: "How do I not know that I have set my sights on the Rakshasa Tablet?"

"Because the things Blue Beard did were instigated by you. He was merely your pawn, used to test me. It is only because you did this with extreme secrecy that even he himself did not know." Yu Liancheng said indifferently: "Am I right, Flying Jade Tiger!"

"Flying Jade Tiger? You say I am the Hall Master of 'Black Tiger Hall', the Flying Jade Tiger?" Fang Yufei opened his eyes wide, as if he had heard something unbelievable.

Not only Fang Yufei himself, but even the Three Friends of Winter and Shangguan Xueer were equally astonished.

In everyone's imagination, since a person could establish the Flying Tiger Hall to contend with the Rakshasa Cult, and was even called "Flying Jade Tiger," then this person must not only have high-level lightness skills, but also a very imposing physique, and perhaps even practiced hard-body arts, with a spirit as fierce as a tiger.

Rather than saying the refined "Silver Kite" Fang Yufei was the Flying Jade Tiger, it would be better to say the Blue Beard lying on the ground looked more like the Flying Jade Tiger.

Fang Yufei shook his head and said: "If I were the Flying Jade Tiger, why would I be idling in the Silver Hook Gambling House, acting as someone's brother-in-law?"

Yu Liancheng laughed: "You are not acting as a brother-in-law, you are acting as a cuckold. Blue Beard's new wife is not your sister, but your lover."

Fang Yufei's face had already darkened, and he said furiously: "Stop spouting nonsense! Even if you are the 'Jade-Faced Divine Sword', you should not slander the reputation of me and my sister like this."

"Since I have identified you as the Flying Jade Tiger, even if you are not the Flying Jade Tiger, you must be."

Yu Liancheng was already sneering, his eyes flashing with a captivating divine light: "Since you know my reputation and still dare to plot against me, you are simply walking into your own death."

After speaking, his figure swirled into the air, and his right leg cleaved down like a divine saber slashing through the void, sending an invisible, domineering blade Qi shooting toward Fang Yufei, even carving a shallow blade mark into the ground.

Fang Yufei shook his arms, his body flying up like a kite, landing lightly on an overturned gambling table.

Yu Liancheng did not pursue, clapping his hands in praise: "Very good, your lightness skill is truly excellent; you are worthy of dying at my hands."

Fang Yufei's complexion had completely darkened, and he said: "How did you recognize me?" At this point, he could only be the Flying Jade Tiger.

Yu Liancheng said indifferently: "I have always been generous to the dead, but it is a pity that this question is troublesome to explain, so I do not want to answer. However, I can guarantee that I can give you a chance for a fair, one-on-one duel."

"You against me?" Fang Yufei raised an eyebrow, showing a hint of joy.

He naturally understood that if the Three Friends of Winter attacked together, he would surely die within ten moves.

Yu Liancheng nodded: "Correct, me against you, one-on-one. If I lose, not only will I die, but this jade tablet will also fall into your hands. From then on, your Flying Tiger Hall could dominate both inside and outside the pass, and perhaps even become the largest force in the Edo."

Fang Yufei chuckled coldly: "It seems you have a lot of confidence in yourself."

Yu Liancheng nodded and said: "I have always had a lot of confidence in myself."

Fang Yufei was still sneering: "So you didn't even bring your 'Passion-Snatcher'."

Yu Liancheng nodded again and said: "If I used 'Passion-Snatcher', you would only be able to last three moves at most; that would be a bit uninteresting."

For a supreme swordsman of the world, even if he has a sword in his heart, if he has no sword in his palm, his strength will inevitably be greatly diminished.

To Fang Yufei, this was an opportunity, but it was also a form of humiliation.

He was the Flying Jade Tiger, and he had never been looked down upon like this before.

"Good, good, good!!" Fang Yufei laughed in extreme anger: "Although you are not using a weapon, I have prepared one. This weapon was originally prepared for my good friend Lu Xiaofeng. If you are not carrying a weapon, using it on you now is also quite appropriate."

Fang Yufei was also a friend of Lu Xiaofeng.

Friends are meant to be plotted against.

He had originally intended to lure out Lu Xiaofeng to help him seize the Rakshasa Tablet.

Of course, since he was letting Lu Xiaofeng make a move, he needed to have a method to deal with Lu Xiaofeng at the critical moment.

Fang Yufei suddenly turned around, and by the time he turned back, he already had a pair of silver-glittering gloves on his hands.

The gloves not only had needle-like barbs, but also carried tiger-claw-like hooks, flashing with a heart-palpitating light, faintly tinged with blue, clearly having been quenched in poison.
