Chapter 60 Number Two

Xue Horan looked at Yongzheng and asked, "What rules?"

Yongzheng looked at Xue Horan, "Do you remember Xie Diwei's story?" Xue Horan's face was gloomy, full of fear and worry. Yongzheng smiled at him. "Don't worry, I won't fall easily without a fight."

The two groups of martial artists looked at each other, and the early spring wind blew across their faces. Bazar Batu took a step forward and walked to the front of Yongzheng. He stood and looked at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands and the four leaders of Seventy-Two Islands. He looked at Yongzheng and asked "Is the organization still exist?"

Yongzheng said, "No."

Bazar Batu looked at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands and said, "Since the organization no longer exists, then he has not betrayed the organization." He crossed his arms and stared at Yongzheng. "Huh, smelly Taoist, so have you seen this person's face?"

Yongzheng, "It was forbidden to let other people in the organization to see your face."

Bazar Batu, "In other words, you don't know what he looks like?"

Yongzheng, "No." He looked at Bazar Batu. "Do you recognize me?"

Bazar Batu said, "I didn't at first, but I remembered a Taoist helping us from a burning pagoda many years ago. At that time, you were still wearing a Taoist uniform and holding a badly tore money bag."

Yongzheng ignored Bazar Batu and asked, "Your martial arts were not so good back then, but now they are much better. Why hide it?"

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands chuckled, "Is just that my skill has improve, and yours is still the same."

Rao Zhengsheng, "I don't care who he is." He pointed the butterfly sword at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands. "He killed my shifu…"

Chief Leader of Seventy-Two Islands chuckled, "It was Cao Fengge, not me who killed your shifu. It was Cao Fengge who stabbed the poisonous needle into your shifu's chest."

Xue Horan drew Yong Taihua's sword from its scabbard and sprinted directly at chief leader of Seventy-Two Island.

Yongzheng and Rao Zhengsheng, "Horan!"

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands held the sword in his left hand and waved his right hand at Xue Horan's throat, but his right hand was blocked by Yongzheng. The metal claw of chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands pierced deeply into Yongzheng's flesh, and Yongzheng hugged his left arm tightly onto chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands' right arm. Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands had to let go of the sword and attack Yongzheng with his left hand. Yongzheng quickly pushed Xue Horan away, and Rao Zhengsheng swung his sword at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands' left arm. Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands raised his left hand to block Rao Zhengsheng's butterfly sword, and at the same time, a red needle shot directly at Rao Zhengsheng. Rao Zhengsheng quickly did a backflip to avoid being hit. Yongzheng quickly let go of chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands' arm and punched chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands' abdomen. However, chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands quickly blocked Yongzheng's punch and backed away to the four leaders.

Yongzheng felt a sharp pain in his left arm, and blood dripped on the ground. He looked at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands, and then at Rao Zhengsheng. Xue Horan quickly rushed to Yongzheng.

Zhu Mingyang stepped forward looking at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands and asked, "You know Red Thread Needle Manual? Not only that, you also know the butterfly sword, so you can easily block that xiong-tai's every move."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "Not bad for an old guard."

Zhu Mingyang asked, "Where did you learn it from?"

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "Zhu Mingyang, I learned from the place that you once had been to. If you hadn't been too obsessed with protecting the person standing next to you, you would have learned it a long time ago."

Zhu Mingyang said indifferently, "My purpose as a guard is not for learning, nor for fame and fortune, so I don't care who learns what."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "If you are smarter, you should have chosen Gu Xiaowen as your master."

Zhu Mingyang rolled his eyes at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands with a smirk, "The only person who deserves my protection and loyalty is Yingjie, and no one else deserves my loyalty, not even Gu Tingfuang."

Bazar Batu said, "Hey da ge, you got yourself a very good man."

Gu Yingjie smiled and said, "He is indeed a very good man with a very stubborn personality."

Bazar Batu looked at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands, then turned to look at Kuo Lok, and said, "Lok gege, that chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands might know the four households fighting skills, but I'm pretty sure he doesn't know dragon palm strike…or did your father teach it to someone else other than you and Heng da ge?"

Kuo Lok said, "Other than us brothers, my father has not taught anyone else."

Bazar Batu, "That's good."

Zhu Mingyang asked, "Where did you get it?"

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "I was once a prisoner inside the Gu. We prisoners like to teach each other, so we can help each other escape."

Yongzheng looked at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands and asked, "Did you deliberately lose to me when we compete for the leader's seat?"

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands smirked, "Actually, I tried very hard to defeat you, but my skills were not as good as yours. At that time, you won because your skills are much better than mine, so there is no hard feeling." He smiled. "Even if I lost that day, I did learn a very valuable lesson from our duel."

Rao Zhengsheng asked, "What did you gain from that duel?"

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said with a smile, "I learned that being second is not a bad idea, because no one really pays attention to my every move."

Rao Zhengsheng asked angrily, "What beef do you have with my shifu? Why do you destroyed my home?"

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "There is no beef between Xue Longwei and I. I don't even know him until that day."

Rao Zhengsheng shouted angrily, "Since you don't know him, why take someone to destroy Butterfly Island?"

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "I am a man of my word. Leader Cao once rescued me, I just repay his kindness. Moreover, the grievances between Xue Longwei and Cao Fengge have nothing to do with martial arts...They have their own grievances... between them." He sneered Rao Zhengsheng. "I don't understand why you want me to be responsible for Cao Fengge's actions. Now that you have forgiven him, it's time to let go. If your resentment deepens...you will eventually die in the end...not me."

Bazar Batu laughed, "You kill others to repay another's kindness, you must have no shame."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands disagreed, "I don't see any problem with it. Repayment is repayment, it doesn't matter in what form."

Bazar Batu thought for a while and said, "I changed my mind, and I totally agree with what you said. Repayment is repayment, no matter in what form, this phrases is perfect." He looked at Kuo Lok. "Lok gege, they had saved my life. Killed him to pay them back their kindness." He pointed at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands.

Rao Zhengsheng said, "I will kill you to repay my shifu and shimu's kindness."

Zhu Mingyang pointed his dao sword at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands. Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "Guard Zhu, what beef do you have towards me?"

Zhu Mingyang said coldly, "Nothing, just don't like the way you talk to me."

Bazar Batu said, "With our combined strength, you will never defeat us."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands laughed out loud. His laughter echoed in the mountains. He looked at the many martial artists, "I have defeated so many martial artists who are more skillful than your poor comprehensive strength. Your comprehensive strength has never shaken my heart." He smiled. "Have you forgotten where you are?"

Bazar Batu smiled and looked at Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands, "We have not forgotten where we are, but maybe you have forgotten where you are."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "Tough talks from just a small little creature."

Bazar Batu confidently said, "This small creature will be the downfall of your great ambition."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands smirked and said, "If you want to destroy my ambition, you have to work harder." He smiled, and then looked directly at the assembled martial artists. "I have always been the cause of many downfalls in people's lives. I can assure you that there is no pride, because every time there is a downfall, only human corpses pile up."

Bazar Batu swallowed heavily and looked at chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands, "How many downfalls have you caused?"

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands smiled, "There are too many to count."

Bazar Batu, "Then you must be a lonely old man? Because only a lonely old man likes to turn other people's lives into a living hell."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "Anyone who is ambitious is always lonely." He looked at Bazar Batu. "Just because you defeated Yueguang Sector when they tried to take over Sword Village…doesn't mean you can defeat Seventy-Two Islands…I'll give you a piece of advice."

Bazar Batu, "What? I'm engrossed."

Chief leader of Seventy-Two Islands said, "When you are in danger, it's okay to pretend to be stupid. Pretending to be stupid may save your life." He smiled at Bazar Batu.

Bazar Batu looked at Kuo Lok and murmured, "Lok gege, why is this sentence sound so familiar? I seem to have heard it from somewhere..."
