Chapter 131: Chapter 126: You’re So Toxic

When Zou Feng asked whether she was about to break through her Gang Qi Realm bottleneck, Bian Yixia just smiled and said nothing.

Zou Feng was dying to ask more. ’Didn’t she used to complain that the Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill Deng Guangxin taught her was flawed? How can she suddenly be on the verge of breaking through her bottleneck?’

’It couldn’t be that the mental breakthrough from defeating Sun Kai was really enough to compensate for a flawed Cultivation Skill, could it?’

’That seemed a bit too mystical, and not very plausible…’

Just as he was about to ask again, he noticed that Bian Yixia’s pleased expression still hadn’t faded.

Er…

Zou Feng had a sudden flash of insight.

’Come to think of it, from the very beginning, Bian Yixia had only seemed a bit wistful when she learned of Song Sixing’s rebellion; she never showed much anger.’

’In fact, as they were charging back to the Dragon Gate Boat, she had clearly grown more and more excited.’

’It was as if Bian Yixia couldn’t wait for Song Sixing to rebel, so she would have the perfect excuse to…’

’So, had she finally discovered the correct way to practice the Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill?’

’Still, if Bian Yixia could really break through to the Gang Qi Realm soon, then any trouble he might face for revealing some of his strength would be resolved instantly.’

The group pressed on, and before long, the Dragon Gate Boat was visible in the distance.

It was still docked at the pier, but now there were no sounds of fighting.

Clearly, Song Sixing had already taken complete control of the Dragon Gate Boat.

Zou Feng had expected Bian Yixia to continue the charge, but to his surprise, she suddenly stopped about thirty-odd zhang from the pier.

She gave a hand signal, motioning for Zou Feng and the others behind her to halt.

’Old Sixth is colluding with the Mountain and River Association this time, so chances are Chu Hang is on the Dragon Gate Boat right now…’

The Mountain and River Association currently had a total of three Seventh Grade Martial Artists.

Besides Gu Yufan, who was already offed, and Sun Kai, there was also a Squad Leader named Chu Hang.

And since Chu Hang hadn’t been present at the recent duel, he was most likely here helping Song Sixing seize the Dragon Gate Boat.

Bian Yixia would undoubtedly deal with Song Sixing herself, so the task of fighting Chu Hang would naturally fall to Zou Feng.

This was the entire premise of their charge. Otherwise, if no one could take on Chu Hang, it wouldn’t be a charge—it would be a suicide run.

“How much longer until you can completely convert your Inner Qi?”

Bian Yixia gazed at the Dragon Gate Boat for a moment before turning back to Zou Feng.

Zou Feng took a moment to feel his internal state before replying, “About the time it takes to eat a meal should do it. Miss, there’s no need to wait. I’ll have no problem holding Chu Hang off.”

This was not blind confidence; after all, his recent feat of killing Gu Yufan spoke for itself.

However, Zou Feng had assumed Bian Yixia was in a hurry and wanted to charge in as soon as possible.

But to his surprise, Bian Yixia was suddenly in no rush at all.

She waved a hand at Zou Feng and smiled. “Good. Then we won’t rush. We’ll wait for you!”

Having him fully step into the Seventh Grade would make their success more certain, and it would also exert even greater psychological pressure on Song Sixing and his faction.

Clearly, Bian Yixia had already figured it out. The eerie silence on the Dragon Gate Boat meant Song Sixing had laid an ambush, just waiting for them to charge in and be caught like turtles in a jar.

Zou Feng understood. He immediately sat down cross-legged and focused on converting his Inner Qi.

The surrounding gang members automatically spread out, forming a protective perimeter around him.

Any Entering Grade Martial Artist could tell that the waves of Inner Qi now radiating from Zou Feng were the sign of an impending breakthrough.

And it was clearly no ordinary breakthrough, but one of an exceptionally high caliber.

After all, faint, illusory lotuses were beginning to appear along with the fluctuations of his Inner Qi…

This strange phenomenon left even Song Sixing, who was secretly observing from the Dragon Gate Boat, slightly astonished.

He knew that Bian Yixia had a subordinate named Zou Feng whom she held in high regard.

In fact, when Bian Yixia had decisively refused Su Changqing’s demand to take her as a concubine, Song Sixing had always suspected this Zou Feng had something to do with it.

But even knowing of the man, the only thing Song Sixing truly cared about were the medical skills Zou Feng had demonstrated as the Medicine Hall Master.

After all, once he became the Gang Leader, the more talented people he had under his command, the better.

That was why he had never intended to kill Zou Feng; after launching his rebellion, he had even sent Zhang Chi to “persuade” him to surrender.

But as it turned out, when Song Sixing went to the pharmacy just now, he found it was impossible to even retrieve Zhang Chi’s body.

After all, it was impossible to tell which pieces were his…

Song Sixing had been completely baffled about what had happened, but now, the truth was crystal clear.

“Old Sixth—”

As he continued to watch in secret, Bian Yixia’s shout came from below.

“Get down here and admit your mistake right now! I’ll only cripple your Martial Arts and spare your life!”

To Zou Feng, Bian Yixia’s choice of words was very particular.

’She didn’t tell Song Sixing to cripple his own Martial Arts; she insisted on doing it herself…’

Song Sixing immediately responded with a series of sneers.

The next moment, he stopped hiding and walked right out onto the deck.

“Yixia, do you really think I’m still afraid of you!?”

“Even Uncle Xiang supports me as the Gang Leader of the Black Flood Dragon Gang now. You’re the one who needs to stop being so stubborn!”

Bian Yixia, of course, didn’t believe him. “Have Uncle Xiang come out and say that himself!”

“The old man is busy right now.”

“Hah. He’s not busy. He just doesn’t want to watch me beat you to death!”

“You…”

Just as Song Sixing was about to retort, a man in a long black robe abruptly appeared from behind him.

This man was no stranger to most of the people present.

He was none other than the Mountain and River Association’s Squad Leader, the Seventh Grade Expert Chu Hang.

The biggest difference between Chu Hang, Gu Yufan, and Sun Kai was that Chu Hang was quite young, around the same age as Song Sixing—in his twenties.
