Chapter 167 Get An Inch, Want A Foot

There were some things in the world that left people stunned. When the Third Prince and Su Wen’s team met the guards from the village, the tall Wu Lie was so eye-catching…

Wu Lie, who was walking at the front, valiantly and energetically…

… Also saw Su Wen and the Third Prince, and his mouth gaped open in shock. “Misunderstanding! It’s all a misunderstanding!” Wu Lie roared, and both sides stopped. Lin Duo’er looked at Wu Lie worriedly. She had a vague guess of the identities of their attackers.

As expected, when the Third Prince saw Wu Lie, he frowned and said, “Wu Lie, what are you doing with these natives? Hurry up and come over. Let’s attack together and kill everyone here!” When the villagers heard this, they all suddenly distanced themselves, and stared suspiciously at Wu Lie.

Only Lin Duo’er remained by his side.

“Brother Wu…”

Lin Duo’er’s father, Lin Fusheng, also looked at Wu Lie in shock. He gritted his teeth and said, “You are a Descender?” Wu Lie replied in a low voice, “Sorry!” He then looked at the Third Prince and said loudly, “Your Highness, everyone here is a good person. Please leave with your men.” The Third Prince sneered and said, “Good? Have you gone mad? Have you forgotten who you are? You are a citizen of the Great Zhou and have come here to increase your strength! This place is only an illusory realm created by the Ancient Nine Saints. The people here are waiting for us to kill them. Why are you talking about good people and bad people with me? Come over quickly!” If it weren’t for him fearing repercussions from Wu Kunhu, he would have ordered the attack.

At this moment, Su Wen also said, “They are indeed not real people. Compared to us, they are born with one less soul and mortal form. Ah Lie, come over. This world is a world of slaughter. If you want to become stronger, you have to be ruthless!”

Wu Lie’s face was flushed red as he roared, “What are you talking about!? This is indeed the Star Martial Mystic Realm, but these people in front of us are not bad people. They have their own lives, their own flesh and blood, their own feelings! They are constantly working hard to live. How can they not be real people?”

Recently, Wu Lie had been interacting with these people in the village. No matter what, he could not kill them.

The Third Prince raised his arm and pointed at Wu Lie. He said coldly, “Wu Lie, we are about to launch an attack. I don’t care what nonsense you are thinking. It’s best that you stay away. Otherwise, don’t blame us for being merciless!”

The Third Prince no longer had the patience to negotiate with Wu Lie.

Wu Lie was silent for a moment before the True Qi in his body boiled. He said in a deep voice, “Your Highness, if you want to attack, I’ll fight with them to the death!”

“I —”

The Third Prince was left speechless. What could he do in such a situation? Kill Wu Lie?

Once he left the mystic realm, how was he going to get past Wu Kunhu? Most likely, the emperor would probably be the first to chop off his head! He rolled his eyes and said, “Alright! Wu Lie, I’ll give you some face, but you have to come with us! Come with us and leave this place, then I won’t massacre the village!” Upon hearing this, Wu Lie turned to Lin Duo’er and smiled. “I’m leaving. Thank you for your help during this period of time.” Lin Duo’er’s eyes were filled with reluctance as tears as big as beans fell continuously. “Brother Wu…”

She grabbed Wu Lie’s arm tightly.

Wu Lie pushed her away forcefully and walked over with his head held high. The people in the village heaved a sigh of relief. It would be best if they did not fight. After all, there were many experts on the other side. If they fought, there would be countless casualties.

It was best for them that they didn’t have to fight desperately. Wu Lie walked to Su Wen’s side and greeted him with a smile.

Right at this moment, the Third Prince suddenly attacked and roared, “Su Wen, attack!”

In his opinion, he and Su Wen could take action at the same time and subdue Wu Lie while he was unprepared. After that, they could then massacre the entire village. It was perfect! After all, during this period of time when he fought with Su Wen, they had developed some chemistry! As expected, the moment he spoke, Su Wen also made a move.

He brazenly punched out! Pa!

The Third Prince took two steps back and looked at Su Wen furiously. “Why did you hit me?”

Su Wen had indeed attacked, but… he had defended Wu Lie against the Third Prince’s attack.

He scratched his head and said with a smile, “Did you hit the wrong person? Your Highness, you didn’t say who you were going to hit. I saw that you came to our side and asked me to make a move. I thought you were going to spar with me… Your Highness, good fist technique!”

The Third Prince almost passed out in anger.

He shouted to the martial artists behind him, “Attack! I’ll subdue Wu Lie!”

Wu Lie’s eyes widened as he roared, “You f*cking went back on your word!” As he spoke, he was about to attack when Su Wen grabbed him and yelled, “Stop!” The warriors who were about to attack stopped…

Su Wen’s prestige in this team was not inferior to that of the Third Prince! Su Wen said with a smile, “Your Highness, as the saying goes, ‘a man without faith cannot be trusted’. You also said earlier that you would let this village off once Wu Lie came over. Now, you’re going back on your word. Don’t you care about the royal family’s face?” The Third Prince stared at Su Wen and his eyes were filled with coldness. After pondering for a moment, he said in a stern voice, “Su Wen, don’t talk about useless things here. Our brothers have been rushing here for so many days and yet, we didn’t gain anything? If you think this way, the team really can’t tolerate you. If you and Wu Lie are willing to help them, then stay behind. Otherwise, be obedient and listen to me!”

Su Wen could tell what this fellow was trying to say. He wanted to use this opportunity to push him out of the team!

That’s right. In the Third Prince’s opinion, if he could ostracize Su Wen from the group, he would have the final say. Even if he did not kill these people to obtain the Saint Qi, it would still be worth it. “Alright! We’ll do as you say!” Su Wen agreed. With that said, he pulled Wu Lie out of the team.

As soon as he said this, many martial artists in the team frowned. Some even started to develop other thoughts. And seeing this scene, Ni Hongxiao was about to step out as well! Right then, the Third Prince pointed at Ni Hongxiao and Wu Feng and said, “The two of you stay!” He had already experienced the benefits of having a guide. He did not have to run around like a headless fly!

As for Ni Hongxiao, she was basically playing the role of team doctor during this period of time. It was even more important to help injured martial artists recover quickly. Ni Hong Xiao’s eyes narrowed slightly, and a little something appeared in her hand. At this moment, she caught sight of Su Wen shaking his head slightly. She thought for a moment, smiled, and did not move any more. “Since that’s the case, we’ll give Young Master Su and Young Master Wu face! Brothers, let’s

go!”

The Third Prince ordered and left with his men.

However, many people were looking at Su Wen, clearly trying to see if he had any other intentions.

However, Su Wen did not say anything. He knew very well that now was not the time to be calculative with the Third Prince. If there was really an internal conflict, who knew what the villagers would do? Su Wen did not trust them at all. It would be stupid to allow a third party to reap the benefits if they fought. After watching everyone leave, Wu Lie said to Su Wen apologetically, “I’m sorry for implicating you.” Su Wen shook his head and smiled. “There’s no need to stand on ceremony. We’re family.” Wu Lie was furious. “Who’s your family? My sister might not even marry you!” “It’s only a matter of time!” Su Wen smiled and said, “Let’s go as well. We’ll catch up to the Third Prince after we leave this place. I’ll settle the score with him then!”

Wu Lie smiled and said, “Alright!” But just as they were about to leave, Lin Duo’er rushed over and grabbed Wu Lie. “Brother Wu… stay a few more days…” “That’s right! Let’s stay for a few more days!” Lin Fusheng walked over and said gratefully, “Thanks to this brother and Ah Lie, we were able to survive. Please stay for a few more days!”

Su Wen wanted to refuse, but he saw Wu Lie looking at Lin Duo’er with reluctance. He closed his mouth.

In the end, Wu Lie could not resist Lin Duo’er pestering him and agreed. Su Wen followed Wu Lie into the village! He could tell that Wu Lie’s cultivation was only at 2nd Stage Earth Rank at the moment. With him in the picture, they might not be able to defeat everyone, but they definitely could escape!

After entering the village, Su Wen realized that this village was much better than other human settlements.

At the very least, they had nothing to worry about for food and clothing. After they entered the village, a strange cow was brought out, and they also brought over a lot of wine to host a banquet. The atmosphere was very lively. The girls in the village squirmed around the bonfire, bringing with them a fragrant breeze. Although they were not as delicate as the women in the imperial capital, they exuded a wildness which could not be replicated. Wu Lie and Su Wen sat together and looked at these women. Lin Duo’er was among them. She followed the singing and dancing of the villagers and kept winking at Wu Lie. “Come, come, come. Ah Lie, and Young Master Su, let’s have a drink. Tonight, we’ll get Duo’er to accompany Ah Lie. Young Master Su, you can also choose a girl you like!” Lin Fusheng said.

Wu Lie was shocked. “Uncle Lin, what do you mean? We can’t stay here for long.”

Lin Fusheng said helplessly, “We know that you guys won’t be able to stay here for long, but you guys are descended beings after all. I think you guys are also gifted. If you leave behind your children, the next village might be able to produce two strong practitioners! At that time, the village will be a little better!”

His tone was full of helplessness. At this point, he smiled at Wu Lie. “Besides, it’s not like you don’t know Duo’er’s feelings! Come, let’s drink!” Wu Lie was about to drink when Su Wen stopped him with a smile. “Forget it, we won’t drink today. We still have work to do later, so if we drink, it will affect us. Lin Fusheng narrowed his eyes. “Young Master Su, are you not going to give us face? This is the best wine in our village. It won’t hurt to drink a little.”

Wu Lie also said with a smile, “Village Chief is already being so courteous, you sure think too highly of yourself. It’s fine if we drink less. We can just sleep separately tonight.” As he finished, he was about to down the wine.

Su Wen reached out to stop him again. He looked at him and said seriously, “I said, you can’t drink this wine!” “Why?” Su Wen looked at Wu Lie and said in a deep voice, “I’m not afraid of offending anyone because I don’t trust them at all. It doesn’t matter who they are!” Su Wen coldly said, “I only entered the village because of you! However, I don’t believe them. Hurricane City has already issued a bounty, so our heads are worth a lot! If these people have evil intentions, what should we do?”

Lin Fusheng said unhappily, “Young Master Su, your words are too hurtful.” Su Wen smiled. “Forgive me, I’m just that straightforward!” Pa!

Just then, Lin Fusheng smashed the cup! Immediately, footsteps could be heard coming over!

The surrounding people drew their weapons. It was obvious that they were prepared. They surrounded Su Wen and Wu Lie. Lin Duo’er was shocked by the sudden turn of events. She rushed to Lin Fusheng’s side and screamed, “Father, what are you doing!” Under the illumination of the flames, a savage expression appeared on Lin Fusheng’s face. He coldly said, “You’re quite cautious, but for the descenders, one person can be exchanged for an Earth Rank Demon Martial Bead. It’s enough to increase the strength of the village by quite a bit!” Wu Lie sighed and said, “Uncle Lin, what’s the point?”

He took out a secret manual from his bosom and said, “This is an Earth Rank Martial Technique, the Dragon Spear Technique. I wrote it down during this period of time. Originally, I planned to give it to you before I leave. For an Earth Rank Demon Martial Bead, it can only be learnt by one person, but for this Earth Ranked technique, everyone can learn this.”

“Throw it over!” Lin Fusheng yelled.

Wu Lie threw the manual over and Lin Fusheng flipped through it. The more he read, the brighter his eyes became! He laughed loudly. “Hahaha! With this cultivation technique, my Lin clan will rise up.”

However, he immediately fell into deep thought. He looked at Wu Lie and sneered, “But if I remember correctly, the martial technique you used wasn’t the Dragon Spear Technique, right? From the few battles you have fought, the power is extremely great! It should be a Heaven Rank martial technique, right?”

Wu Lie’s jaw dropped. He had not expected Lin Fusheng to be so greedy! “Write out your Heaven Rank battle technique immediately. Otherwise, I will kill the two of you!” Wu Lie looked at Lin Fusheng and gritted his teeth for a moment before saying, “Bring me a pen and paper!”

If this was in the real world, Wu Lie would rather die than write out the technique!

But now, he was only in the mystic realm. Even if he left behind a Heaven Rank cultivation technique, he would leave in half a year anyway, and the cultivation technique would not be leaked.

Because of this thought, Wu Lie agreed. “Wait!” Su Wen stopped Wu Lie and coldly said, “With our cultivation bases, we can fight and kill our way out! Why do you have to give them cultivation techniques? Even if you give them cultivation techniques, can you guarantee that they will let us go? I’m afraid they will want to prevent you from taking revenge and silence us!” Lin Fusheng pointed at the sky and swore, “I, Lin Fusheng, swear to the heavens that if you hand over the Heaven Rank cultivation technique, we will not let you go. If I do not do so, my Lin Clan will suffer a calamity. The heavens will smite me, and my entire clan will die!”

Wu Lie looked at Su Wen and then looked at Lin Duo’er before whispering to Su Wen, “Please… just trust them this once!” Seeing how humble Wu Lie was, Su Wen did not say anything else. He knew that although Wu Lie seemed like a carefree person, he was actually someone who valued friendship. If others treated him well, he would repay them tenfold. When someone brought a pen and paper over, Wu Lie really wrote his family technique on the paper! The eyes of everyone from the Lin village flashed with excitement. They could almost see the village rising up in power to become one of the best clans. After writing the cultivation technique, Wu Lie stood up and threw the cultivation technique over. He said coldly, “Here! Can we leave

now?”

Lin Duo’er looked at Wu Lie with tears streaming down his face. “I’m sorry, Brother Wu…”

Lin Fusheng took a closer look at the technique and said with a smile, “It’s indeed exquisite and profound, but how would I know if this technique of yours is real or fake? You have to stay behind and wait for me to finish cultivating it!” At this point, even Wu Lie could tell that Lin Fusheng was not sincere at all! “You’re breaking your promise?” “Hahaha! Didn’t you say? We are merely tools created by whoever Nine Saints, and we are meant for you to kill! What use is there in revering the Heavens?” Lin Fusheng’s eyes flashed with madness as he said, “All of you have to die!”

At this moment, Lin Duo’er grabbed Lin Fusheng’s arm and wailed, “Father, that’s enough! Brother Wu has already given us the Heaven Rank cultivation technique. Why do we have to do this!?”

Lin Fusheng kicked her away and said sternly, “These Descendants engage in wanton slaughter and . Today, I forced them to hand over their cultivation techniques. How can they be willing to accept this? If I let them go and he brings people back to take revenge, my Lin Clan will be annihilated! Therefore, they must die!”

At this moment, Su Wen was already holding a long saber in his hand as he roared, “We kill our way out!” Wu Lie no longer held back. A spear appeared in his hand out of thin air as he said coldly, “Then kill!”

Since things had reached this point, there was only one word to settle their differences: Kill!

Su Wen let loose a loud roar as he slashed his saber toward the back!

He wasn’t stupid. There were many experts in the village. If they fought to the death, they might not win! Nine Waves Return to Origin! A huge flaming saber aura soared into the sky and swept through his back! Anyone who dared to approach him would die!

Su Wen and Wu Lie activated their movement techniques and instantly broke through the encirclement!

Lin Fusheng didn’t expect that the two of them would be able to break through his defenses so quickly!

He immediately pulled Lin Duo’er over and placed the steel knife at her throat. He roared, “Wu Lie, do you want to see her die?”

He could tell that Wu Lie was a person that valued relations and friends. This method would definitely work!

As expected, Wu Lie turned around and stopped in his tracks! When Su Wen saw him stop, he turned around and saw this scene.

Su Wen roared, “Who cares if he kills her or not! That’s his daughter, what does it have to do with you?” At that moment, Lin Duo’er’s eyes flashed with sorrow as he shouted, “Big Brother Wu, leave quickly!” As she spoke, she actually took the initiative to jerk her body forward.

Puchi!

The steel knife sliced through her throat.

Lin Fusheng was also stunned. He did not expect Lin Duo’er to be so resolute!

Blood flowed down the edge of the blade. Lin Duo’er had used a tremendous amount of strength and more than half of her neck was cut off. Not even a god could save her at this point!

“F*ck your m*other!” Wu Lie roared.

His eyes turned completely bloodshot at this scene! In an instant, Su Wen discovered that the blood Qi in Wu Lie’s body had unknowingly skyrocketed! He roared, “Hurry up and leave. Don’t bother about me. I’ll fight it out with them!” This fellow actually turned around and charged back!

Su Wen smiled bitterly. D*mn you, telling me to leave you behind? Am I that kind of person? Without another word, Su Wen also charged back!

The two of them charged into the crowd and the pressure on them increased! Su Wen knew that he had to end this quickly!

He immediately unleashed his saber intent, driving it with his entire cultivation base!

“Nine Waves Return to Origin!” “Nine Waves Return to Origin!” “Nine Waves Return to Origin!” In the crowd, Su Wen was like a devil! Three consecutive slashes were executed in three directions. Other than the direction where Wu Lie was blocking Lin Fusheng, Su Wen did not make a move in order to prevent any accidental injuries. In the other direction, all the people who came were sliced into two!

In an instant, blood, flesh, and severed limbs flew everywhere!

Even the top experts in the village would die if they failed to dodge in time and were struck by the Saber Qi!

Some of the Earth Ranks wanted to go against Su Wen, but his Nine Waves Return to Origin technique was too powerful for them. Most of these people’s martial techniques were crude and could not withstand Su Wen’s attack at all. They were just ants trying to shake a tree, merely struggling on their deathbed. After three strikes, Su Wen’s energy was completely cleaned out! But at this time, everyone’s courage had been shattered! Lin Fusheng blocked Wu Lie. As he saw this scene, he roared out, “Don’t be afraid! This move is powerful and it will consume a great deal of energy. He definitely won’t be able to hold on any longer. All of you, attack! Kill them and our Lin Clan will rise!”

What he failed to notice was the smirk on Su Wen’s face!
