Chapter 79 Brother, you smell so good
Chapter 79 Brother, you smell so good
Compared to Ding Shian's versatility in various skills, Ru Hu's kung fu was much simpler; he only knew one style—the Chai-style horizontal martial arts.
[Na Ruhu, the leader of the Ancient Absorption Pavilion, is the youngest and least powerful among the Ten Elders. He is usually humble and has always kept a low profile among the Ten Elders.]
His master was Chai Yan, the head of the Chai School of External Strength Training. Unlike ordinary defensive techniques that require the circulation of Qi, the Chai School of External Strength Training relies on the daily flow of one's own Qi within the body and the extreme physical training achieved through repeated, limit-pushing strikes.
Within the entire world of supernatural beings, the Chai School of External Strength is not considered a very powerful sect; it is merely a second-rate sect.
However, the same technique will produce completely different effects in the hands of different people.
In those tiger-like hands, the Chai School of Horizontal Strike displayed a brilliance it had never possessed before!
At a young age, Na Ruhu became one of the two heroes thanks to his formidable combat prowess, and was even selected as one of the Ten Elders, making him one of the most prominent figures in the world of supernatural beings.
[In a major sect, one might be happy to have such a great reputation among their disciples, but this doesn't include their tiger-like master, Chai Yan.]
[After watching his disciple elevate his family's ancestral Chai-style external martial arts to a level Chai Yan could never reach in his lifetime in such a short time, Chai Yan's mindset began to change.]
[Simply put, Chai Yan's mentality collapsed because he was so disheartened by his apprentice's talent.]
Chai Yan issued a challenge to his apprentice, intending to gain some insight through this challenge.
The result was obvious: Chai Yan easily lost to his disciple, Na Ruhu. Disheartened, he disbanded the Chai School of External Strength and disappeared from the world.
[In order to find inner peace, Chai Yan, who had disbanded his sect, joined the Yaoxing Society and became one of the people whose perceptions were altered by Qu Tong.]
Na Ruhu never expected that he would hear his master's name again under such circumstances!
He had not heard from Chai Yan since his master's sparring session a year ago.
During this time, he tried to use his connections with the Ten Elders to find Chai Yan's whereabouts, but he couldn't find him. He never expected that his master would fall into Qu Tong's hands!
As one of the Ten Elders, he had heard about Qu Tong's actions. She not only used her Double-Handed Technique to plant a large number of spies in the company, but also influenced many people in small and medium-sized sects.
Unfortunately, Qu Tong seemed to have vanished into thin air overnight, and there was no way to find her anywhere.
Even Qu Tong's spies within many sects disappeared along with him.
The thought of his master, Chai Yan, being missing and dying filled Ru Hu with immense anger, and his fists clenched together without him even realizing it.
……
In a newspaper office, a beautiful woman was watching a video and flirting with a man next to her.
“Chai Yan, look, your apprentice has also appeared on Wumingke’s videos, that’s really great.”
The man named Chai Yan remained calm and said indifferently, "Editor-in-chief is joking. I just happened to take care of him for a few years. How could I be qualified to be his master?"
The beautiful woman speaking was Qu Tong, whose appearance had been altered, and Chai Yan beside her was no longer the same as before.
Even if you let Ruhu identify him, he certainly wouldn't recognize him as his master.
To evade capture by the company, Qu Tong disguised everyone and went into hiding, waiting for the right opportunity to reappear.
Just then, a gust of evil wind swept into the office, and the black wind slowly transformed into a person.
"Oh, thank you for your trouble, Third Master. I didn't expect you to find my way here."
The newcomer was none other than Zhou Sheng, one of the Thirty-Six Thieves!
After arranging for Wang Ye to stay at the entrance of Nadutong, Zhou Sheng rushed towards Nasen Island to check if Ruan Feng was in danger.
But when he arrived at Nathan Island, Nguyen Phung had already disappeared!
During this time, no matter how hard he searched, he could not find Ruan Feng's whereabouts; it was as if he had disappeared from the world.
Having no other choice, he resorted to some sorcerer's methods, using his inner vision and, after paying a price, finally found Qu Tong's hiding place.
"What about Seventeen?"
Hearing Zhou Sheng's words, Qu Tong was already prepared and slowly got up from her chair.
"Let's go, Third Master, I'll take you to see Seventeenth Master right away."
……
In a basement.
Upon opening the basement door, Zhou Sheng immediately saw Ruan Feng sitting upright in the center.
"Third Brother, it's been a long time!"
Qu Tong slowly walked to Ruan Feng's side. "I'm sorry, Third Master. I didn't confirm with you. At that time, Seventeenth Master's whereabouts had already been exposed, and we had to move Seventeenth Master in time."
He wouldn't have come with us willingly without using some special methods. Coincidentally, Guoping's whereabouts were also exposed, and before he could notify you, he took the opportunity to bring Seventeenth Master back.
I have already promised Seventeenth Master that I would give him the peace he desires, so his surgery is now complete.
Looking at the person sitting on the ground, showing no emotion whatsoever, Zhou Sheng asked again, his voice trembling with excitement.
"What are you afraid of, Seventeen! What are you uneasy about? The world has changed, and even the extraordinary people are known to the whole world."
Zhang Huaiyi's grandson, Benzai's great-grandson, and my successor are all living well in the sunlight now, don't you know that? Why did you have to go through all this?
He had witnessed all the events that had happened in the world during this period, and he had also heard about the current lives of the successors of the Eight Extraordinary Techniques.
Ruan Feng was genuinely happy that they were able to live a stable life, but he couldn't.
Ruan Feng raised his head and revealed a miserable smile.
"Third Brother, my situation is different from theirs. They don't think people taste good."
Before Zhou Sheng could reply, Ruan Feng began to speak on his own.
"Third Brother, every time you came to the island before, you asked me to leave with you. You said you would watch over me and not let me eat people. But there are some things I wouldn't have told you before. Only now, after I've lost all desire, will I tell you."
Even if I had actually left Nathan Island back then, I would never have followed you.
"First, since we all comprehended the Eight Extraordinary Skills, we have all come to different ends because we wanted different things. Among us, you are probably the happiest, right? I feel uncomfortable around you."
Secondly, the Six Treasures Immortal Thief turned me into a gluttonous beast that only takes in and never gives out. Whenever I think about the changes I've undergone, I feel disgusted with myself.
Without realizing it, I had already added people to my diet. I've forgotten who the first person I ate was; I only remember that it was a delicious treat I'll never forget.
From initial frustration to eventually being able to eat a person without feeling guilty, I could only set a self-deceiving rule for myself.
I won't eat it unless someone offends me... or unless it's my sworn brother.
Ruan Feng looked at Zhou Sheng again.
"Third Brother, shall I go with you? You are my sworn brother, but you are also a delicacy I have never tasted before."
