Chapter 249: Those Who Fight Further

Huis hands flickered as Tang Fei closed in. Wall after wall materialized between them, the barriers so thick their transparent walls began to blur Hui behind them. Shouting ferociously, Tang Fei smashed one wall after another, as animal projections raced out ahead of her fists.

The last barrier broke to splinters. Tang Fei rushed past and slammed another punch down onto Hui. Take that! Whos uncute now?

Hui popped. He exploded into a thousand tiny bits of skin, blowing out in all directions. Not a single bit of blood or gore flew out.

Tang Feis eyes widened. Weiheng Hui!

Right here, Hui said, standing to her left.

She whirled and jumped at him.

A cold hand curled around her ankle. Jin Xian looked up at her, licked her lips, then threw her down toward the ground far below. Hui flicked his eyes at Jin Xian, and she darted off in a bolt of black light.

In midair, Tang Fei got her sword under her and swooped back up, negating the power of the throw. You! Two on one, how rude. Fight me on even ground, man to man!

Hui bowed. Respectfully, Elder Sister, only idiots and Li Xiang fight fair. Im not going to refuse to use my advantages against you, and neither are you going to hold back your fists!

Tang Fei grit her teeth. Two fourth stage cultivators against one? How is that fair?The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

I just said it wasnt, Hui said, gesturing at something behind her. The air swirled, and a cold aura emanated from behind Tang Fei.

Skin prickling, Tang Fei whirled to find Jin Xian following along mere centimeters behind her. Jin Xian stared at her blankly, drool running down her chin. Their eyes met, and Jin Xian smiled, licking her lips hungrily.

Tang Fei scowled. She leaped back, striking a fighting pose, eyes narrowed at Jin Xian. This monsterhow can you call yourself righteous, Xiao Hui? You

Hui sighed, looking at her ruined back, and threw his hand out. Never turn your back to the enemy.

Even as she turned to face him again, a paper talisman pasted itself to Tang Feis back. She reached over her shoulders, wide-eyed, and then a blast of fire slammed into the rotting wound Jin Xian had opened on her back earlier. Tang Fei screamed in pain and staggered, barely able to stand upright.

You cheat! You, you, you coward! You Tang Fei steamed, her face bright red, teeth bared.

Drop out of the fight. I no longer have any need to kill you, Hui declared.

You killed Shang Chaya

The whip girl? I had no option. She immediately went for the kill with all her strength. But youve been holding back, Hui said, shrugging. He looked her over. Tang Fei, you dont want to kill me, do you?

II, youeveryone in Starbound Sect must be eradicated! Tang Fei shouted, her face twisted in disgust, but her voice hesitated, and some of the disgust seemed to be aimed inward.

I injured your arm. I might be the only one who can fix it. Even putting aside your feelings toward Starbound Sect, you dont want me dead, do you?

Seizing my weakness? How demonic of you, Tang Fei spat.

Hui spread his hands. Since when has scheming been demonic? Elder Sister, dont call everything you dont understand demonic. Its not a matter of righteous or demonic, but simply strategy.

Gritting her teeth, Tang Fei backed away. I suppose you want me to stop killing Starbound Sect disciples, too?

I believe in justice and a fair fight but there is no justice in using overwhelming might to crush the weak. Nor can a fight so unbalanced be called fair, she said, staring at the seemingly unending wave of All-Heavens disciples.

Had we met under different circumstances, we could have had a fine duel. Li Xiang bowed once. Even as the mans body fell down, she charged into battle once more, the rest of the Starbound Sect disciples chasing after her.

As Li Xiang flew forth, the disciples charged toward Hui. He drew his hand toward him, recalling the ducks, but these cultivators had survived the first charge, and had techniques to fend off death qi. The one with the white streak in his hair who led the charge blasted gold life qi into the center of the ducks, and dozens of them dissolved into motes of black light.

No! Dammit, leave my ducks alone! Hui gestured again, pulling the ducks away from the disciples so no more of them would get destroyed. At the same time, his other hand flickered, summoning talismans from his storage ring and throwing them directly into the center of the disciples. Bursts of fire, ice, and wind blasted into them.

This pathetic third stage magic what do you think it can do? the leader snapped.

Huis hands slammed together. The fire, ice, and wind all merged, creating a vicious, steamy windstorm that swallowed up the All-Heavens disciples.

Hui sighed, shaking his head. Not all magic needs to directly attack, you know.

He unsealed the ghoul-storing pouch and sent the ghouls flying into the windstorm, along with Jin Xian, who smiled a brutal, bloody smile before she vanished. Black strands attached to their backs, with the exception of Jin Xian. Hui manipulated them through the windstorm. Under his control, the ghouls attacked the All-Heavens disciples, then instantly leaped away, guiding one disciple toward another. Eyes glittering, he sent the ducks into the windstorm as well.

The sound of fierce battle emanated from the windstorm, the disciples instantly thrown into chaos.

Ive found him! Hes here!

Over here! These vicious ducks Ill kill him!

Elder Brother, thats meahhhh!

I have him! Wait you arent

A blast of wind flew out of the windstorm, disrupting it. For a moment, the battlefield was revealed. All-Heavens disciples attacked one another, while the ghouls darted about, occasionally darting in to land a blow. Only Jin Xian attacked whole-heartedly. She ripped into the neck of a cultivator with her fangs even as the steam parted, and chewed happily, quickly devouring the man.

Huis eyes went misty. He gazed up at the heavens. Ah, Jin Xian is it too late to claim youre simply some random ghoul who wandered onto the battlefield? My righteousness

The cultivator with the white streak in his hair shoved away the disciple whod been attacking him and jabbed a finger at Hui. There he is! Attack him, not me!

Forgive me, Elder Brother Lu Zudong! the disciple whod been attacking the white-streak disciple shouted.

Lu Zudong reached a clawed hand toward the disciple whod been attacking him. The disciples neck flew backward and hit his palm. He looked at the disciple with disgust, then threw him bodily toward Hui. Clear your eyes and fight the enemy!

Elder Brother, we dont have to be enemies, Hui tried, giving Lu Zudong his most earnest look. He gestured at Tang Fei. We can be friends instead!

Hes taken a hostage? Martial Sister Tang Fei just wait! Ill rescue you! Lu Zudong shouted.

Once more, negotiations have broken down. Hui sighed and pulled out his talismans.

Tang Fei shot him a look from the corner of her eyes. Why are you sighing? Did you seriously think that would work?

Allow this small cultivator to have some faith in the world, Hui replied, throwing a talisman at the incoming disciple. A thick, wall-like barrier sprang up in front of him. The incoming disciple tried to stop himself, but under the force of Lu Zudongs throw, couldnt control his own body. He struck the barrier and smashed against it, then plummeted into the forest below, bones broken, leaking blood.

Faith in the Tang Fei shook her head, barely resisting the urge to sigh herself. Faith in the world? After he attacked them with ghouls? After that one ghoul of his ate our disciples in broad daylight? After he took a hostage and killed countless disciples with a wave of his hand? After all that, he has the gall to call trusting him faith in the world? This Weiheng Hui he clearly has a hole in his brain!
