Chapter 245: Chapter 201: All Men Must Die

"Truth is, even if I hadn’t tricked you into coming here tonight, you wouldn’t have lived much longer."

"Because your third sister has already joined forces with the Five Poison Sect to have you killed."

Liu Wen’s hateful expression gave way to a sliver of astonishment. "She... she’d dare?"

Chen Yi looked at him, not without a trace of pity, and said, "The incident at Fengchun Building today was, no doubt, a trap she set for you."

"Alright, I’ve said my piece."

"Have a good journey."

As he spoke, Chen Yi unhesitatingly twisted the Long Spear, shredding Liu Wen’s heart.

Blood immediately trickled from the corner of Liu Wen’s mouth. With a strength from God-knows-where, he managed to lift a hand, glaring venomously at Chen Yi as he struggled to say:

"I’ll... I’ll be waiting for you..."

Chen Yi smiled, pulled out the Long Spear, wiped it clean on the man’s clothes, and said:

"Here’s a saying for you."

"All men must die. Some deaths are lighter than a feather, others heavier than Mount Tai."

"The meaning isn’t hard to understand. So I advise you to reincarnate as soon as possible. You might even get to be an animal."

"Even if you wait for me on the other side, I’ll do nothing but mock, ridicule, and scorn you. Why bother?"

"You... you..."

Liu Wen’s eyes instantly filled with blood. He pointed a trembling finger at him, and then fell silent.

Chen Yi clicked his tongue. "In the end, you still couldn’t die in peace. A waste of breath."

Muttering this, he casually closed Liu Wen’s eyes.

Seeing Liu Lang and the others approaching, Chen Yi thought for a moment, then hefted his Long Spear and went to meet them.

As expected, a few of the Hidden Guard’s Iron Banner Officers stationed in Iron Wall Town had managed to escape. The Evil Demons hadn’t met with any real resistance either.

But when they saw Chen Yi, their running footsteps faltered.

"Who are you?"

"Why are you wearing Elder Black Tooth’s clothes?"

"Look over there! How did Young Master Liu die?"

"Be careful! Something’s wrong with this guy!"

Chen Yi’s gaze swept over them, finally landing on Liu Lang. He gestured and said, "Kill them all."

Liu Lang smiled and nodded. "It’s about time."

When he saw Liu Wen lying on the ground, he had already guessed this would be the outcome, so he wasn’t surprised.

In contrast, the other Evil Demons were stunned, not understanding what was happening.

And the few soldiers from Iron Wall Town who had just escaped with their lives were even more clueless.

But they did know that Chen Yi and Liu Lang intended to kill them, and they reacted quickly.

"Fucking ’Sword Madman,’ and you, pretty boy! You’re courting death!"

"You think the two of you can kill all of us?"

"What a joke!"

However, at this point, whether it was a joke or not no longer mattered.

After giving the order, Chen Yi didn’t leave Liu Lang to handle it alone. He struck first.

He was seen gripping the butt of his Long Spear with both hands, his body held taut and straight.

As True Essence circulated within him, the Heaven and Earth’s Spiritual Mechanism instantly gathered at the tip of his spear.

Then, a glint of cold light flashed—Chen Yi shot forward with his spear.

Like an arrow loosed from a fully drawn longbow, he thrust straight toward the group of Evil Demonic Dao practitioners.

"You’re courting death!"

The Evil Demons drew their weapons one after another to meet his charge.

Some tried to block, others drew their blades to chop, but it was clear none of them had detected Chen Yi’s Great Success Spear Dao.

But as he closed in, they all felt as if a mountain had suddenly crashed down upon them.

Their bodies, which should have been swift and fierce, felt as if they had sunk into a quagmire.

Chen Yi, on the other hand, was completely unaffected.

The spear passed.

The spear’s light swept out in its wake.

The Evil Demonic Dao practitioners were like sheets of thin paper cut by a sharp edge—their bodies were severed, as were the weapons in their hands.

In a single move, Chen Yi had instantly killed five people.

Seeing this, Liu Lang’s eyes went wide. "Gr-Gr-Gr-Great..."

Chen Yi didn’t pause for a second, continuing his charge toward the others while cursing, "Great what? Reinforcements will be here soon! Get a move on!"

Liu Lang suppressed the shock in his heart. As he drew his Blade and charged the nearest Evil Demon, he shouted:

"Boss, you really are a Martial Arts genius!"

’Great Success in Fist Dao was one thing, but to think his Spear Dao was also at the Great Success Realm.’

’If I add his Medical Dao to the list...’

’Damn, just what kind of monster is Boss Chen?’

But thoughts were just thoughts, and Liu Lang was not slow to act.

He and Chen Yi blocked the Evil Demonic Dao practitioners’ escape route from the front and back.

In just three breaths’ time, they made short work of the rest, killing every last one.

Not even the few soldiers from Iron Wall Town who had just escaped managed to get away.

Once everything had quieted down, Chen Yi glanced at the rapidly approaching torchlight in the distance and, without pausing, turned to leave.

"Get the carriage. We’re heading back to the city."

"Right."

Liu Lang sheathed his long Blade and ran toward the carriage.

Chen Yi, meanwhile, returned to Liu Wen’s body. He took a letter from his robes and stuffed it into the dead man’s.

To make it look authentic, he deliberately smeared some of Liu Wen’s blood on the letter.

After doing all this, Chen Yi leaped onto the carriage.

"Go!"

Liu Lang was well aware of their situation. With two cracks of the whip, he urged the horses on, speeding toward Shu State.

Once the carriage had left the forest and was galloping along the main road,

Liu Lang relaxed slightly and couldn’t help but speak up:

"Boss, could I ask a favor of you?"

Chen Yi came down from the roof of the carriage and landed beside him. While putting away his Five-section Spear, he asked, "So formal?"

Liu Lang gave a sheepish grin. "When you have some free time, would you be willing to spar with me?"

Chen Yi raised an eyebrow slightly, turning his head to look at him with a half-smile. "Trying to bully me because my Cultivation is lower than yours, are you?"

"You misunderstand, I just... I just get excited when I see a worthy opponent."

"After all, achieving Great Success in both Punch and Spear Dao is a rarity in the Jianghu, hehe."

Liu Lang quickly added, "If you’re worried, I’ll definitely suppress my Cultivation to match your Realm."

"That won’t be necessary..."

Although Chen Yi wasn’t particularly enthusiastic about sparring matches, he wasn’t strongly opposed to them either.

After all, he had often crossed hands with Pei Guanli in the past.
