Seeing that the leader was about to be defeated, the henchmen could no longer hold back. One of them shouted, "Boss, don't panic, I'll help you!"
Dozens of Yellow River Gang members rushed forward in a frenzy, brandishing knives and swords, and charged at Su Yi with a cacophony of battle cries.
Su Yi was currently in the heat of battle, feeling completely at ease and with a clear mind. The Nine Swords of Dugu seemed to have reached a new level of understanding. He certainly did not expect so many troublemakers to show up at this moment!
He immediately let out a cold snort, leaving the struggling Sha Peng and Peng Lianhu behind. He sheathed his long sword and charged towards the Yellow River Gang members.
At this moment, Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu's arms were drenched in blood, having reached their limits. As Su Yi suddenly stopped, their arms felt weak and could hardly be lifted again.
Although the Yellow River Gang members were numerous, they were just a bunch of cannon fodder. How could they withstand Su Yi's onslaught? Su Yi charged through the crowd, his long sword striking down one person after another. With a flick of his sleeve, another person would fly out. Among the dozens of people, not a single one could stand up to him. In a short while, none of the dozens of Yellow River Gang elite disciples could stand up again.
After defeating all the enemies, Su Yi sheathed his sword and looked back at the exhausted Sha Peng and Peng Lianhu, asking, "Do you still want to fight?"
Sha Tongtian, holding his injured and bloody right arm, said hoarsely, "Sir, your sword skills are superb, and your internal power is astonishing. The name 'Dugu Qiu Bai' is well-deserved. I am far inferior to you. I have lost this battle. Whether you want to kill or maim me, it's up to you!"
Peng Lianhu, with a tough-guy image, laughed heartily and said, "Brother Sha, who would have thought that we would even die together in the netherworld? Truly, we are good brothers!"
"That's right, in the next life, we must be brothers again!"
The two men, their hands covered in blood, clasped together and looked at each other with deep emotion, saying, "Good brothers!"
Seeing the two men act this way, the other gang members were deeply moved. What could be more touching than the friendship between men? They wanted to step forward to help, but seeing Su Yi's sword still dripping with blood, they quickly abandoned the idea.
Others were moved by the scene, but Su Yi suddenly shivered. He had never noticed this in novels before, but now he saw that they were a perfect pair of good friends, almost ready to pick up soap at any moment!
Not wanting to stay any longer, he said, "I never said I would kill you. Bring my horse, and I'll leave!"
"Are you really going to leave after getting the horse?" Sha Tongtian asked in surprise.
"What? Do you really want me to stay and celebrate your birthday?!"
Su Yi gave Sha Tongtian a cold glance. Damn, he never thought they were two fags. Remembering the palm strike with Sha Tongtian, Su Yi felt itchy all over and wanted to leave immediately. He needed to boil some water to disinfect his disobedient pig hooves! Really, he touched anything, and now he had touched a taboo!
Sha Tongtian shouted, "Someone, quickly bring the horse for this Dugu sir!"
After a while, a Yellow River Gang henchman led out the Da Yuan horse. After four months, the horse had gained a whole circle of fat, indicating that the food at the inn and the Yellow River Gang was quite good. This fine horse had become quite plump.
Someone nearby picked up the sword scabbard that had flown far away, and Su Yi casually took it, sheathing his sword. Only then did everyone notice that this Dugu Qiu Bai had a sword case on his back, which must contain more weapons!
Could it be that Dugu Qiu Bai had not used his full strength in this battle? This thought flashed through everyone's minds. After all, the sword in the case had never been drawn.
It seemed that Dugu Qiu Bai was indeed unfathomable. Who would have thought that such a young hero would appear in the martial arts world!
Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu also thought of this possibility and turned pale. They realized that they did not even have the qualifications to force him to use his full strength. How did Dugu Qiu Bai train? This was not a level that could be achieved by training in the womb. Could it be that he brought his skills from his previous life?
Su Yi mounted the horse, looked back at Sha Yiyang, and said, "Remember, the uncle and nephew at the inn in Xiangyang are under my protection. If you dare to cause trouble there again, I won't just give you a father. I'll send you to the King of Hell!"
A simple statement, without any hint of killing intent, but to everyone, it was more terrifying than the most vicious curse. They all decided that after this person left, they would ask the troublesome Sha Yiyang about which uncle and nephew at which inn. In the future, they would never provoke them, or they would end up like Sha Tongtian, which would be a tragic end.
Sha Tenghai struggled to stand up and said, "I will strictly discipline my son in the future and never let him bully the locals again! Sir Dugu, please rest assured!"
Su Yi smiled and said, "Bullying the locals is fine. If he dares to act tyrannically again, someone like Dongfang Bubai might show up. Then you will have to wash your neck and wait for death!"
With that, he struck the horse's buttocks with the scabbard. The horse neighed and shot forward like a bolt of lightning, its tall figure gradually fading into the distance under the setting sun.
Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu looked at each other and smiled bitterly. This was truly an unforeseen disaster, and they had been unfairly framed... Thinking of the injustice, Sha Tongtian's gaze towards Sha Yiyang was no longer as kind and caring as before.
Sha Yiyang looked at Sha Tongtian timidly, wanting to apologize but too timid to approach.
Sha Tongtian ignored Sha Yiyang and said to Sha Tenghai, "Brother, you have seen today's disaster, all caused by forcibly taking others' things. In the future, you must strictly discipline your son. I think it's best to keep him at home and not let him out to cause trouble. As Dugu Qiu Bai said, if Dugu Qiu Bai came today, who knows if Dongfang Bubai won't come tomorrow? Do we have to clean up after this little brat every time?"
Sha Tenghai said helplessly, "Brother, you are right. After this battle, I have no heart to run the Divine Fist Sect anymore. I have accumulated a lot of money, so I will live a peaceful life as a wealthy man. As for this boy..."
Sha Tenghai looked at his son with a mix of disappointment and frustration, "This boy dares to act recklessly only because of the reputation of his elders. Now, even if I gave him a hundred hearts, he wouldn't dare to act like before!"
"That's good!"
Sha Tongtian ignored Sha Yiyang and sighed, "Unforeseen disaster... Unforeseen disaster!"
Sighing, Sha Tongtian and Peng Lianhu supported each other and walked inside, their steps faltering. Compared to their earlier arrogance, their current demeanor was clearly much more subdued.
The other people around also learned a lesson: never bully the common people, as there might be a world-class expert among them. Not only would they be punished, but if the expert was ruthless, they might even lose their lives.
Gui Men Long Wang had a stroke of luck. His brotherly bond with Qian Shou Ren Tu moved Dugu Qiu Bai, allowing him to escape with his life. But where could they find such a good brother in the future?
Everyone thought Su Yi was moved by their brotherly bond, but they did not know that Su Yi was completely disgusted by their bromance and wanted to leave as quickly as possible.
Of course, Su Yi's intervention made the Yellow River Gang and other local gangs in the Yellow River region much more restrained in their future actions. Acts of bullying the locals no longer occurred, which could be considered a merit of Su Yi's!
PS: Recently, Luohua has been busy with my grandfather's funeral. The updates have been set to automatic, but this automatic release has been a real pain. Out of ten times, eight times it didn't work... Fortunately, I will be back at my workplace in about two days. At that time, I will make up for the updates to show my gratitude to all my friends and family.
