Chapter 69

Shafei Ying's residence was not in the main hall of Jin Yue Fang, but in Ming Yue Fang, which was adjacent to Jin Yue Fang.

Half of Ming Yue Fang was directly under Shafei Ying's jurisdiction, and the elite disciples he had trained were all stationed there.

On the way back from the main hall, Shafei Ying remained silent, which made Sha Yuandong, who was following him, extremely frightened.

Seeing the situation today, he knew that things had escalated. He hadn't seen Shafei Ying so serious for a long time.

After returning to the courtyard in Ming Yue Fang, Shafei Ying asked everyone to leave, leaving only Sha Yuandong.

Shafei Ying walked to the wall, gently turned a vase in the corner, and the wall in front of him began to rotate, revealing a secret room large enough for one person.

Sha Yuandong's eyes widened immediately. There was actually a secret room inside, and he had never known about it.

There was nothing else in the secret room except for a box that looked quite old.

Shafei Ying opened the box, and inside were only a knife and a token.

The knife was a Yanling knife, with a long and narrow blade engraved with strange patterns, and it had dark red stains on it.

That was blood rust.

Blood rust that had formed on the blade after years of being stained with blood, which could no longer be wiped off.

Holding the Yanling knife, Shafei Ying's thoughts seemed to return to several decades ago, when he followed the chieftain and roamed the Henan Dao, wielding his saber and horse, living a carefree and happy life.

Unfortunately, he couldn't let go of the hatred in his heart and insisted on returning to Changning Prefecture.

After decades of hard work, he had everything he had once dreamed of, but he hadn't picked up this Yanling knife for nearly ten years.

"Yuandong, if anything happens to me this time, go to Henan Dao, find any bandit stronghold, and give them this token. They will naturally take you to see someone who will ensure your safety for the rest of your life."

Shafei Ying handed the bronze token to Sha Yuandong. The token was simple, with no extra decorations, and only two large characters were written in a strong, vigorous hand: "Taihang"! The Taihang of Taihang Mountain!

The Taihang bandit stronghold in Henan Dao was the strongest among the world's major bandits!

The thirty-six bandit strongholds of Taihang, the thirty-six saber halls, and tens of thousands of saber wielders were so powerful that even the Buddhist and Taoist sects had to give way when they were at their peak.

On the back of the token were also two large characters: "Twenty-Three," written in simple strokes that seemed to be carved with a knife, cold and intimidating.

Seeing Shafei Ying speak so seriously, Sha Yuandong couldn't help but say, "Father, the strength of Su Xin and his group is not as great as yours. They are just like clay chickens and tile dogs. Is it really necessary to speak so seriously?"

Shafei Ying shook his head. "You don't understand. I am old, but Su Xin is still young. No matter the outcome of this, my Feiying Gang will inevitably decline.

Even if I can eliminate all the unstable factors within the Feiying Gang, without these major leaders and hall masters, the strength of the Feiying Gang will inevitably plummet to a low point. At that time, how can other gangs not covet it?

So keep this token. If anything happens, leave immediately. As long as you can reach Henan Dao, you will be completely safe."

There was one more thing Shafei Ying didn't say: he was thoroughly disappointed in his son.

With his character, he could never control the Feiying Gang. Even if he勉强 became the leader, without Shafei Ying's backing, the result would likely be the same as Wei Feng of the Qingzhu Gang.

Shafei Ying knew he was old and didn't have many years left, so he had to leave a safe path for his son.

"Let's go. I will clean up the Feiying Gang for you now. Whether you can stabilize your position as the leader after that is up to you."

Picking up the Yanling knife, Shafei Ying walked out of the courtyard. Outside, over a hundred disciples he had carefully trained were waiting.

The strongest among them had reached the early stage of the Later Heaven realm, and the weakest had opened more than ten acupoints.

They were the strongest combat force of the Feiying Gang, stronger than the disciples of the Battle Hall in terms of combat experience.

The most important thing was their loyalty.

From the moment Shafei Ying started training them, he instilled in them one idea: you are loyal not to the Feiying Gang, but to me, Shafei Ying!

"Let's go!"

Shafei Ying waved his hand, and over a hundred people followed him out of the courtyard. But as soon as they reached the street, Shafei Ying felt something was wrong.

The usually bustling street was now silent, with no pedestrians in sight.

The shops that were just open for business had now closed their doors.

"Come out. I didn't expect you to dare to make the first move. Who led the charge?"

Su Xin walked out from the corner, Li Hua tightly following behind him, while Huang Bingcheng had already hidden his men around Ming Yue Fang.

Since the day he accepted the mission, Shafei Ying had to die. Two tigers cannot coexist on the same mountain. In the future, the Feiying Gang would belong to the Su family, not the Sha family!

Seeing Su Xin, Shafei Ying sighed. "It's you, as I suspected. Do you know what I regret the most now? I regret not punishing you according to the gang rules and directly disabling you when you killed Hou Tong!"

A smile appeared on the corner of Su Xin's mouth. "Not just you, many people have thought the same, but they were all too late."

This regret was not only Shafei Ying's but also Hu San Ye's.

They were not fools, but why did they indulge Su Xin back then? It was simply due to human inertia.

They never expected Su Xin to grow so fast, to a terrifying degree!

Whether it was Hu San Ye or Shafei Ying, when they faced Su Xin, they always put themselves in Su Xin's shoes.

What they couldn't do, they thought Su Xin couldn't do either, a habit many people had.

But they underestimated Su Xin, and the consequences were fatal!

Sha Yuandong, standing behind Shafei Ying, shouted fiercely, "Su Xin! How dare you attack the leader of the gang! This is sheer treason!"

"Leadership changes hands, and this year it's my turn. Even the throne can change hands, so what's the big deal about a gang leader?" Su Xin sneered.

Shafei Ying drew the Yanling knife from his back and coldly shouted, "Step back!"

"Make your move. I want to see what gives you the nerve to ambush me here!"

It had been ten years since he last fought, but the feeling of holding the Yanling knife was incredibly familiar.

"Buzz!"

The long knife was drawn, and Shafei Ying's long knife dragged on the ground as he quickly approached Su Xin.

Su Xin's eyes narrowed. Shafei Ying's movements were very strange. Dragging the knife was usually done with a heavy Guan knife, which could suddenly slash the enemy at close range, generating immense power.

But for a narrow and not too heavy waist knife like the Yanling knife to do this was very unusual.

"Step back. If Shafei Ying's people make a move, you make a move too," Su Xin said to Li Hua.

Huang Bingcheng had already hidden his men in the surrounding streets. Five hundred against one hundred, even if they were slightly inferior in strength, it was enough to wipe out the enemy.

"Slash!"

Shafei Ying suddenly shouted, and his Yanling knife split the air like a mountain, carrying a heavy momentum, pressing down on Su Xin's head!

A purple aura appeared in Su Xin's hand, and he slashed his long sword three times, finally defusing the attack.

He now understood why Shafei Ying had such a strange dragging knife movement earlier. This slash was indeed the technique of a Guan knife, but the power was immense. Despite using a light and agile Yanling knife, he had slashed with the momentum of a Guan knife!

But Shafei Ying was even more shocked.

This slash was no ordinary one. It was taught to him by a powerful saber wielder from one of the thirty-six bandit strongholds in Henan Dao. The dragging knife slash was performed when one's spirit, energy, and mind were at their peak, making it the strongest first strike.

In the past, after Shafei Ying left Changning Prefecture, he joined one of the thirty-six bandit strongholds, which gathered the strongest saber wielders in the entire martial world.

Although this move was just a casual teaching from the powerful saber wielder, it made Shafei Ying unbeatable among his peers.

But now, it had been blocked by Su Xin's three sword strikes, and the force even transmitted through the Yanling knife, making his wrist tingle!

Shafei Ying was stunned, but Su Xin was not.

The true qi in his body, driven by the Purple Mist Divine Technique, continuously adhered to the long sword, creating a pale purple afterimage as it stabbed towards Shafei Ying's neck.

"Clang, clang" two sounds, Shafei Ying's Yanling knife slashed horizontally, the continuous momentum pushing back Su Xin's long sword, and with a mighty force, it slashed at him again.

Su Xin, however, was unhurried, relying on the speed of his sword to continuously circle around Shafei Ying.

After just one round of combat, Su Xin had already discovered Shafei Ying's weakness.

He was too old, his blood and energy were declining, while Su Xin was like a rising sun, constantly advancing.

The Purple Mist Divine Technique, as a two-and-a-half-star technique, although mainly effective in neutralizing foreign true qi, the true qi it cultivated was dozens of times stronger than Su Xin's previous true qi.

Moreover, Su Xin's Dragon Elephant Bodhi Power had already reached the first level, and in terms of strength, he was not far from the peak of the Later Heaven realm, and even stronger.

Now, when Su Xin fought Shafei Ying, he could match him evenly, not falling behind at all.

Shafei Ying's combat experience was very rich. In his early days, when he joined the Taihang bandit stronghold, the people he robbed were all disciples of major martial sects.

When Su Xin started to circle around him, Shafei Ying immediately sensed something was wrong and changed his strategy. The Yanling knife was wielded like a storm, sweeping towards Su Xin!

The immense pressure forced Su Xin to retreat quickly!

No matter how fast the sword was, it needed an opportunity to strike, and the current Shafei Ying clearly didn't want to give him that opportunity!
