Chapter 212: The Ten-Person Slaughter

After acknowledging Di Shitian as his senior brother, Wude, upon returning to the Yishitang, no longer wore his previous timid expression; now, he acted like a lackey emboldened by his master, looking every bit the small-minded man drunk on his own success.

Having recovered his full-blooded, vigorous appearance, Wude was not recognized by Shenmu.

Seeing the sudden appearance of a stranger, Shenmu shouted:

"Who are you, and what are you doing sneaking into my Heaven Gate?"

Wude laughed:

"Junior niece, do you not recognize me?

I am your Martial Uncle Wude."

Looking at the smug Wude, Shenmu said with a hint of disdain:

"Within Heaven Gate, martial power is supreme; apart from the Master, everyone else must address me as Shenmu."

Wude also knew that he was currently dealing with a tiger, and if Di Shitian wanted to kick him aside, he could do so at any moment, so he immediately changed his attitude.

Wude said obsequiously:

"Shenmu, don't take it to heart, I was just joking with you."

Just as he finished speaking, the two brothers Huaikong and Huaimie arrived at the Huiting, and subsequently, Huang Ying also rushed over.

Judging by their appearance, they must have received a sound transmission from Di Shitian, which is why they rushed to the Huiting.

Wude had lived for so many years and had long since trained himself to have an eye for people.

Seeing that the auras emanating from Huaimie, Huaikong, and Huang Ying were no less than Shenmu's, he felt a wave of shock.

He thought to himself:

"This Heaven Gate is truly full of talent; my master still wants to make an enemy of Heaven Gate—isn't this just a pipe dream?"

Looking at the unfamiliar face, Huaimie asked:

"Shenmu, who is this guy?"

Shenmu replied:

"This is the Master's junior brother."

Huaimie said in surprise:

"Junior brother?

Master has a junior brother?"

Seeing Huaimie, whose expression was as sour as Bu Jingyun's, questioning his identity, Wude immediately stood out, patted his chest, and said:

"I, Wude, am Di Shitian's junior brother, although my senior brother and I have never met.

If you have any doubts about my identity, you can come and spar with me."

Huaimie smiled and said:

"Alright, let's try it then."

Huaimie did not care whether this Wude was really Di Shitian's junior brother; based on his understanding of Di Shitian, even disciples like Shenmu who had followed him for many years could be sacrificed by Di Shitian at will.

A junior brother like Wude, whom he had never met, was likely just being used as a pawn by Di Shitian.

Huaimie drew the twin blades Greedy Wolf and Heaven's Man from his back, their sharp killing intent pointing directly at Wude.

Wude sighed inwardly:

"What fierce weapons.

This guy can actually control two such fierce weapons at the same time; he must be extremely vicious himself."

Wude regretted it a little after seeing Greedy Wolf and the twin blades, but for the sake of his pride, he had to put on a brave front and bite the bullet, preparing to spar with Huaimie.

At this moment, Di Shitian appeared in the air before them.

Seeing Di Shitian appear, Wude instantly felt much calmer; with Di Shitian present, he did not believe this guy would still dare to oppose him.

"Greetings, Master!"

"Greetings, Senior Brother!"

Di Shitian glanced at Wude and said:

"In Heaven Gate, address me as Master; within Heaven Gate, there is only this one title for me."

"Understood, Wude greets the Master."

Hearing Di Shitian's words, Wude hurriedly corrected himself.

Di Shitian introduced the others to Wude:

"This is Huaimie, this is Luo Xian, both of them are my disciples.

He is Huaikong, Huaimie's younger brother.

He is Huang Ying, the number one swordsman from Dongying."

Then Di Shitian pointed at Wude and introduced him to the group:

"This is Wude, my junior brother, a newcomer who has just joined our Heaven Gate.

Since a newcomer has arrived today, let us go out for a walk to welcome him.

It has been a long time since I have seen Duan Fengyun and the others; let us go and meet them."

Huaimie and Huang Ying were overjoyed to hear that they were going to meet Duan Fengyun and the others, as they had long wanted to find them and spar again.

Huaikong, however, was full of worry; he did not want to cross swords with Duan Fengyun and the others.

Di Shitian ignored their individual thoughts and, taking the five of them, left Heaven Gate directly and headed toward Dragon Gate.

On the way, based on Wude's description, Di Shitian roughly determined the location of the group, so he sat at a tea stall on the path they were bound to take and waited for them to arrive.

As for the group, who had started their journey after being wined and dined, their alcohol had long since worn off after breaking a sweat, and they were now extremely thirsty.

Seeing the tea stall not far away, the group beamed with joy, and Duan Fengyun said:

"We are not far from Dragon Gate now; let us rest at the tea stall ahead and drink some water before moving on."

Bu Jingyun and the others nodded, and so they quickened their pace to rush toward the tea stall.

When they were less than ten miles from the tea stall, Duan Fengyun discovered something was wrong.

The six figures sitting at the tea stall with their backs to them were too familiar; there was a trap ahead.

"There is a trap ahead, let's go quickly."

Duan Fengyun shouted, then immediately turned his horse around, prepared to leave.

But Di Shitian had waited for them here for so long, so how could he let them leave so easily?

After Di Shitian smiled from his seat, he then appeared before Duan Fengyun and the others.

Feeling Di Shitian's terrifying aura, the horses' legs went weak; they could no longer run.

Seeing this, Duan Fengyun and the others simply dismounted and stood in a standoff against Di Shitian.

Duan Fengyun said:

"Old demon, it has been a long time since we last met; why have you suddenly come looking for us?

What, did you miss us?"

Duan Fengyun cursed inwardly:

"I just finished drinking with you, and now you've come to block my path.

If it weren't for the Dragon Origin, I would have exposed your identity."

Di Shitian laughed:

"It's not just you; there are several old acquaintances ahead who also miss you very much."

At this moment, Shenmu and the other four also arrived here.

Looking at the unfamiliar face among the five, yet feeling a trace of familiarity, a flash of insight struck Duan Fengyun:

"You are Wude!"

Duan Fengyun truly did not expect Wude's speed to be so fast; he had just left them, and now he had defected to Di Shitian.

Duan Fengyun seriously suspected whether Wude knew that Xu Fu was Di Shitian.

Wude laughed loudly:

"Duan Fengyun, this is all thanks to you.

If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have had my lifespan reclaimed by my master and then been expelled from the sect.

I also wouldn't have defected to my senior brother, which has allowed me to return to the peak state of my youth.

Today, I will make you experience this pain."

Nie Feng and the other two also did not expect that after saving his life, Wude would still not know his mistakes and would go to defect to Di Shitian.

Bu Jingyun held his sword and pointed it at Wude, saying:

"Wude, had I known you were such a person who betrays his master and destroys his ancestors, and is blinded by greed, I should have killed you with one sword strike."

Bu Jingyun had always hated such despicable people who were blinded by greed, so he was exceptionally angry in his heart.

Bu Jingyun wanted to kill Wude, and Duan Fengyun also wanted to kill Wude.

Duan Fengyun had long known that Xu Fu intentionally let Wude go just to plant a time bomb for them.

Duan Fengyun had originally planned to eliminate this time bomb, Wude, early on, but he did not expect this time bomb to arrive so quickly.

Wude laughed:

"Bu Jingyun, talk less big talk; if it weren't for my master's intervention, it is unknown who would have won.

Today, I will break your Martial Arts Myth."

Wude was staring at Bu Jingyun, and Huaimie was also staring at Bu Jingyun.

Huaimie would not allow Wude to snatch his prey.

"Wude, Bu Jingyun is my prey; if you want to take revenge, then go find someone else.

Bu Jingyun belongs only to me."

Huaimie had no hatred for Bu Jingyun; for Huaimie, Bu Jingyun was the kind of fighting spirit shared by those on the same path; he only wanted to have a comfortable and satisfying battle with Bu Jingyun.

"You!"

Regarding Huaimie snatching Bu Jingyun away, Wude dared to be angry but dared not speak; after all, he was now under someone else's roof and had to bow his head.

Huang Ying, who was a blade-wielder, went directly for Nie Feng, who was also a blade-wielder.

Shenmu did not want to fight with someone like Duan Fengyun who did not cherish the fairer sex, so Shenmu went for Qin Shuang.

Therefore, only Duan Fengyun and Long Er were left for Wude, and no matter how shameless Wude was, he could not go after Long Er, so only Duan Fengyun was left for him.

The eight people each found their respective opponents, leaving only Long Er and Di Shitian standing there.

Long Er took out his Liangji Sword and pointed it at Di Shitian, saying:

"Old monster, today let this young master test you."

"Hahahaha, good, this seat will see how much weight you have."

Thus, the ten people with clearly defined roles began their fight.
