Chapter 144: Chapter 131: You Only Have Three Breaths Left to Live

Dragon Gate Boat Gathering Hall.

The ’righteous gathering’ the hall was named for was now steeped in bitter irony.

Deng Guangxin sat upon the Gang Leader’s Jiaotou Chair, his body shrouded in a faint black aura. His indifferent eyes radiated a domineering presence, surveying everything with contempt.

Not far away, Xiang Kang was laughing and chatting with his Maid.

Everyone in the Black Flood Dragon Gang knew that Vice Gang Leader Xiang Kang had a preference for exceptionally voluptuous women.

But this particular woman wasn’t so voluptuous as to be considered unusual, which didn’t quite match Xiang Kang’s typical preferences.

“AHHHH…”

A sudden, blood-curdling scream in the Gathering Hall heralded the end of someone’s life.

Before long, the screams faded. The whites of his eyes showing, Song Sixing collapsed heavily to the ground.

Bian Yixia retracted her hand, her surging Inner Qi churning like a roiling tide.

She looked up at Deng Guangxin, her eyes filled with grim determination.

This was the chance Deng Guangxin had given her.

Have Bian Yixia absorb Song Sixing, then absorb Bian Yixia himself—this was the optimal absorption method Deng Guangxin had devised after several days of experimentation.

Of course, his other disciples had already been absorbed by him.

With his Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill nearing completion, Deng Guangxin was in a state of utter ecstasy.

“Very good, Yixia. It seems you don’t think you’re guaranteed to lose?”

Deng Guangxin shot to his feet.

In a flash of black, he was standing just seven paces away from Bian Yixia.

“Adoptive Father, you’ve… Fallen into Demon!”

Although she now knew Deng Guangxin had harbored ill intentions when he first took them as disciples,

his return from seclusion this time still gave her an extremely unfamiliar feeling.

Deng Guangxin sneered and shook his head. “Fallen into Demon?”

“According to those Renowned and Righteous Sects, the Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill is a Demon Skill to begin with. So how can one ’fall’ into demon when they’re already there?”

As he spoke, Deng Guangxin circulated his Inner Qi. Behind him, the phantom image of a wheel, formed from black Qi Force, rapidly appeared.

With each rotation of this phantom wheel, Deng Guangxin’s aura and power seemed to grow even stronger.

“Come. Now, your father will teach you the complete Six Harmonies Reincarnation Skill!”

Deng Guangxin tilted his head back and closed his eyes, his expression one of imminent Ascension.

After absorbing Song Sixing, Bian Yixia’s Inner Qi had also changed. A wheel seemed to appear on each of her two Round Hammers, causing them to spin at extreme speeds.

Under the pressure of the two opposing Rotating Wheel Qi Forces, the vast Gathering Hall grew heavy with the oppressive silence that precedes a violent storm.

After a moment, Bian Yixia was the first to lose her patience. She charged forward, her Double Hammers striking toward Deng Guangxin like flood dragons emerging from the sea…

Not far away, Xiang Kang and the unfamiliar Maid watched as if it were a grand play.

While staring intently, they even started cracking melon seeds…

Meanwhile, in front of the Gathering Hall’s main entrance, Zou Feng was blocked by a dozen or so Death Warriors.

Normally, these well-trained Death Warriors, equipped with Crossbow Arrows, could at least delay a Seventh Grade Martial Artist or drain some of their Inner Qi.

Unfortunately for them, taking them out wasn’t even a warm-up for Zou Feng.

Soon, he was stepping over the corpses of the Death Warriors to stand before the doors of the Gathering Hall.

Zou Feng didn’t stay to fight for any noble reason.

Saving Bian Yixia was certainly the main reason, but just as he had told her back in the Practice Room, why run when you know you can win?

’A Half-Step Gang Qi Realm expert?’

’Sounds impressive, sure.’

’But at the end of the day, isn’t he still just Seventh Grade?’

’I’ve got a Refined Skill, plus an Evil Skill at the Peak of Perfection. If I can’t even beat a Martial Artist of the same Realm, then what’s the point of training? I might as well just give up and spend my days at the brothel listening to music.’

Therefore, Zou Feng didn’t feel he was taking much of a risk.

Besides, those two scumbags, Xiang Kang and Deng Guangxin, had thoroughly pissed him off—the kind of pissed off that made him want to tear them apart with his bare hands.

Before breaking down the door, Zou Feng first leaped high into the air and tore down the plaque engraved with the two words, “Gathering Hall.”

After landing, he hoisted the plaque onto his shoulder, then kicked the doors.

BANG—

The heavy doors shattered on impact, and Zou Feng strode inside.

“I’ve come to collect you!”

At this point, Bian Yixia and Deng Guangxin had only just begun to fight, but she had already been swiftly put on the defensive and was now struggling to hold on.

Although she heard Zou Feng’s voice, getting distracted now would mean instant death, so Bian Yixia couldn’t say a word.

’And since Zou Feng didn’t leave, he must be joining this death match. What’s the use of saying any sentimental words now?’

Seeing Zou Feng smash through the doors, Xiang Kang showed no surprise.

After all, the sounds of fighting from outside had already told him that Zou Feng was being a stubborn fool.

Thus, Xiang Kang simply looked at Zou Feng with pity and sighed, “You kid, why can’t you ever listen to advice? Isn’t it good to be alive?”

Seeing that Bian Yixia could hold on for now, Zou Feng wasn’t in a hurry. He stared at Xiang Kang and said, “Being alive is great, but only on the condition that you all aren’t alive with me!”

Before he could finish his sentence, a sudden, bone-chilling coldness struck the back of his head.

A thin sword was thrusting silently toward the back of Zou Feng’s skull.

The Maid who had just been cracking melon seeds with Xiang Kang had already vanished from her spot.

Using the noise and dust from Zou Feng’s forced entry, she had concealed her presence and prepared for this sneak attack.

But the reason Zou Feng hadn’t rushed to attack was precisely that he had already sensed someone lurking nearby.

So while it looked like he was just trading barbs with Xiang Kang, he had actually been on high alert the entire time.
