Chapter 236: Bai Kaixin and Yan Nantian's Similarities
Chapter 236: Bai Kaixin and Yan Nantian's Similarities
Jiang Feng patted Bai Kaixin on the shoulder, "Quite impressive for an idler to know precisely the origin of Tou Jiaojiao's nickname. You're truly well-versed in the ways of the jianghu."
Bai Kaixin forced a smile, nodding and bowing repeatedly, "Indeed, indeed. I, a humble wanderer, have picked up bits and pieces of information here and there, including news about the Top Ten Villains."
However, at that moment, not only You Yue and Lian Xing but even the Murong couple sensed something amiss.
"The Top Ten Villains are no ordinary scoundrels, especially the enigmatic Tou Jiaojiao," Murong Furen scoffed.
Tou Jiaojiao's nickname was ambiguous, and although the name suggested a woman, there were speculations in the jianghu that it was a deliberate ruse. Perhaps, she was a man disguising himself as a woman to hide his true identity.
Even the Murong couple didn't know Tou Jiaojiao's true gender, yet this idler before them seemed to know the origin of her nickname! Murong Yong and Murong Furen stood side by side, blocking Bai Kaixin's path.
Meanwhile, Nangong Yue, Leiten, Li Rusong, Huang Ji Master, the Windy Swordsman, and others had also reached the entrance, their eyes scrutinizing Bai Kaixin.
Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on Bai Kaixin's forehead. He retreated, then flipped his hands behind him. With venomous speed and skill rivaling any master, he struck out with a palm aimed at Murong Yong's abdomen and a punch directed at Murong Furen's chest.
"How audacious!"
"Despicable!"
The Murong couple cried out, each executing their own defense—Murong Yong formed a sword with his fingers, pointing at Bai Kaixin's wrist, while Madame Murong formed a fist with her delicate hand, aiming to collide with Bai Kaixin's fist.
Unexpectedly, Bai Kaixin's attacks were feints. As he moved his hands, his body also leaped into the air, his toes aiming for Jiang Feng's chest. He intended to use Jiang Feng as a springboard to flip out of the encirclement and escape.
But to his surprise, Jiang Feng took a step back, then tilted his upper body slightly backward. Bai Kaixin's kick missed its mark, and his body lost momentum halfway through the flip, leaving him vulnerable to the Murong couple's impending attacks.
True to his reputation as one of the Top Ten Villains, Bai Kaixin remained calm in this critical moment. He swiftly adjusted his feints into actual strikes, slashing at Murong Yong with his palm and clashing head-on with Murong Furen's fist.
"Bang!"
Murong Yong changed his finger-sword into a palm, meeting Bai Kaixin's palm with a sharp clash.
"Bang!"
"Impressive skills. Who are you?"
Before Murong Yong could catch his breath, Murong Furen shouted, retracting her right fist and throwing a left punch straight at Bai Kaixin's chest.
Startled, Bai Kaixin hadn't anticipated that Murong Furen's martial arts would surpass her husband's. Having just switched from feints to actual attacks, he was unprepared and his qi unstable. Hesitant to take Murong Furen's punch head-on, he shifted his gaze, intending to grab Jiang Feng.
But before he could make a move, he felt four icy glares fixated on him. Bai Kaixin looked up abruptly and met the deadly stares of Jiang Feng's two female companions.
Xiuyuguyi! Yihuagong!
Realization struck Bai Kaixin, and a surge of excitement rose within him. A sinister smile spread across his face as he increased his speed by another notch. His hand transformed into a tiger's claw, aiming straight for Jiang Feng's throat.
"Seeking death!"
Lian Xing let out a soft cry, on the verge of making her move.
However, Jiang Feng was faster. He reached out, then pulled, twisted, and bent, causing Bai Kaixin to lose balance. The next moment, he found himself enveloped by Murong Furen's fist wind.
"What?"
Bai Kaixin was taken aback, and just as he was about to strike again, Murong Yong grabbed his shoulder, causing half of his body to go numb.
Although Murong Yong was just a background character in the original story, he was still the head of a prominent martial arts family, and his skills were undoubtedly formidable. Moreover, his wife's martial arts prowess surpassed even his own.
The fact that this man could exchange several moves with them and was only captured with Jiang Feng's help, and that he slowly collapsed even after several heavy blows from Murong Furen, was a testament to his profound skill.
"However, if you dare to use the Murong family as a pawn, you should be prepared to face death." Murong Furen said indifferently.
Bai Kaixin broke into a cold sweat, his eyes darting around anxiously. "I was just joking with you. I mainly wanted to help you by telling you that Li Dazui has a daughter with Tie Wushuang."
Jiang Feng looked at Bai Kaixin and nodded with a smile. "You didn't expect the two Palace Masters of Yihua Palace to be here as well, and that they intended to recruit Tie Pinggu into their sect, am I right?"
"I..."
"If we hadn't been here, you could have escaped, and you might have succeeded in dragging the Murong family into this mess." Jiang Feng laughed. "Your plan would have worked."
Bai Kaixin blinked innocently. "That's not true. I really just wanted to help. Otherwise, what benefit would I gain from dragging the Murong family into this and betraying Li Dazui's daughter?"
The Jianghu people who had left the room looked at each other in surprise.
That was true. What benefit would this man in front of them gain from their capture of Li Dazui's daughter, even if it led to Li Dazui's appearance and the acquisition of his treasure?
"Who says people only act for their own benefit?" Jiang Feng smiled. "As far as I know, there are two people in this world who will act without expecting anything in return."
"Who are they?" Murong Yong asked.
"One is my elder brother." Jiang Feng replied.
Murong Yong's expression turned solemn. "The number one sword in the world, a chivalrous and righteous man admired by all!"
Bai Kaixin's pupils contracted as he realized that the man before him was the brother of Yan Nantian, the number one sword in the world. He couldn't help but glance at You Yue and Lian Xing, who were standing behind Jiang Feng.
"Big brother, you have such a prominent background, why play games with me? I wasn't even targeting you!" Bai Kaixin complained inwardly.
Before he could say anything, he heard Jiang Feng continue, "And the other is one of the Top Ten Villains, known as the man who harms others but not himself—Bai Kaixin. This man also acts without seeking benefits, although my brother does good deeds while he commits evil ones."
Bai Kaixin's heart skipped a beat as he realized that Jiang Feng had recognized him.
He raised his head to meet Jiang Feng's gaze and heard him ask with a smile, "How do you feel about me putting you on par with my elder brother?"
Bai Kaixin's smile was more painful than crying. "I'm very happy!"
"As one of the Top Ten Villains, you should be able to find the other villains." Jiang Feng hinted, "In that case, we won't need that little girl anymore."
The Jianghu people present couldn't help but be intrigued by this suggestion, but Bai Kaixin exclaimed in dismay, "I can't find them!"
"How can you know where Li Dazui's daughter is but not know where Li Dazui is?" Xiao Yun Jushi asked coldly.
Jiang Feng clapped his hands and stepped away from Bai Kaixin. "By using the Murong family as a pawn, you have sealed your fate. If you want to live, it's best to honestly explain everything you know."
