Chapter 672: Chris Liu Returns
Chapter 672: Chris Liu Returns
Most of the people present were visibly shocked by Serene Goddess's death.
Justin Bannister, however, was not surprised, as this was exactly how Serene Goddess died in the original story.
Autumn Dew was equally unfazed, still gazing at Serene Goddess with a gentle and calm expression, "I am not like you? No, you are not like me. You have never found someone you truly love, though there was one who loved you, you chose to give up on your own."
Autumn Dew continued softly, "Though you destroyed my appearance, you could not kill my heart. But you, without a heart, are merely a red-powdered skeleton, just as you look now."
After speaking, Autumn Dew turned to Justin Bannister and bowed deeply, "Thank you, Young Master Bannister, for avenging this great enmity. Dew and the entire Beggars' Clan feel forever grateful!"
"Madam, please rise!" Justin Bannister lifted Autumn Dew, angrily saying, "Mostly, this Serene Goddess treated me as a foolish son of a wealthy family from the capital. Wasn't that a capital offense?"
Hugo Tie couldn't help but mimic Chris Liu, rubbing his nose, then looking at Jasper Bing.
Jasper Bing shivered, glaring at Hugo Tie, "Why are you looking at me?!"
Hugo Tie laughed heartily, mercilessly retorting, "I'm just saying that you, this dead rooster, have been wrong about everything since entering the Great Desert!"
Jasper Bing looked cold, but had no words to retort.
In the trio of Chris Liu, Hugo Tie, and himself, he was known for being quiet and thoughtful. However, since entering the Great Desert, he had faced setbacks at every turn: losing the Pearl Horse at the beginning, being captured by Serene Goddess in the middle, and misjudging Justin Bannister at the end.
If not for Justin Bannister's timely intervention, he might have died in the Great Desert.
Hugo Tie and Jasper Bing were bickering, while Diana Hong looked at Justin Bannister in disbelief, "Is this your swordsmanship?"
"Yep!" Justin Bannister nodded, placing his hands on his hips, smugly, "Isn't it impressive?"
Diana Hong stared at Justin Bannister, "How can you have such swordsmanship?"
"Look at the question you're asking, why can't I have such swordsmanship?" Justin Bannister said with righteous indignation, "The first time I met you, I told you that I had learned from dozens of masters and mastered dozens of martial arts, among which the most powerful is swordsmanship!"
Diana Hong: w(°o°)w
He suddenly remembered, in Jinan, Justin Bannister was almost always waving his sword with eighteen gemstones in the scabbard, emphasizing this point.
With so many masters and so many martial arts, he was full of himself, considering himself a supreme expert, and looking down on everyone.
But the problem was, he was a wealthy young man, always hanging out with a bunch of old oilbags in the capital, bragging about his martial arts.
Who would take that seriously?
Who would truly believe that his Shaolin Divine Fist surpassed the high monks, his Flowing Cloud Sleeve surpassed the elders of Wudang, his Whirling Willow Sword surpassed the current master of Bashan, and that he even mastered the Thirteen Clear Wind Styles of Huashan?
Our minds are fine, of course, we wouldn't believe it!
Didn't we see that Serene Goddess, renowned in the Central Plains for twenty years and invincible in the Great Desert, also didn't believe it?
Diana Hong couldn't help but look at Serene Goddess's corpse.
Serene Goddess didn't believe Justin Bannister, so she died.
Just when she was on the verge of being victorious...
Diana Hong sighed, wondering that Justin Bannister's claims were actually true!
Not to mention other things, just Justin Bannister's swordsmanship alone, Diana Hong guessed that there wouldn't be more than three people in the world who could surpass him, even that hand behind him...
Thinking of that hand, Diana Hong felt hesitant, somewhat horrified, somewhat anxious, and somewhat anticipatory...
But in the end, he still said nothing.
Qu WuRong approached YiDian Hong and stared blankly at the corpse of Shi Guanyin. Though her face remained expressionless, her eyes betrayed a complex mix of emotions.
She had been raised by Shi Guanyin and harbored feelings for her that were far from ordinary.
But it was also Shi Guanyin who had disfigured her face and forced her to sever her wrist just yesterday.
To be honest, if not for that wrist, she might not have given up on Shi Guanyin and wouldn't have been able to make the decision to leave with YiDian Hong.
Even so, she had no thoughts of revenge.
Now, standing before the withered remains of Shi Guanyin, Qu WuRong couldn't quite pinpoint her feelings. Was it regret? Sorrow? Or perhaps a sense of release?
As Qu WuRong fell into a deep silence, Chang Sun Hong quietly slipped away.
Many noticed, but no one stopped him.
Shi Guanyin was dead, and with a crippled arm, Chang Sun Hong was destined to cause no more trouble.
Princess Pipa skipped over and grabbed Jin BanHua's arm. "You're amazing!"
The usually inconspicuous General Qing also joined in. "Mr. Jin, as expected of someone from the capital. You truly are extraordinary."
"Are the brothers outside alright?" Jin BanHua asked.
General Qing laughed. "Just a common sleeping drug. They'll be fine after a good night's sleep. I didn't even wake them up!"
"That's good to hear." Jin BanHua nodded, then his eyes lit up as he saw Hu TieHua mocking Ji BingYan. "Brother Hu?"
"Great kid!" Hu TieHua laughed heartily. "How did you get so skilled? I was thinking of giving you some advice earlier, but I didn't expect you to be such a hidden expert!"
"Thank you!" Jin BanHua waved his hand. "Brother Hu, don't be mad that I watched from the sidelines at first. You said you could kill Shi Guanyin with one punch, so I just stood by, ready to applaud."
Everyone was taken aback and turned to look at Hu TieHua.
Princess Pipa giggled. "I can vouch for it. He did say that!"
Hu TieHua's smile vanished instantly.
Ji BingYan looked at Hu TieHua and said with a faint sigh, "So our great hero Hu TieHua is so powerful that he can kill Shi Guanyin with one punch? Were you holding back? Or did you just want to get hurt and bleed a little?"
"Only a fool would want to bleed!" Hu TieHua protested. "I don't believe you've never bragged!"
Ji BingYan replied coolly, "I haven't."
Hu TieHua glanced at the calm YiDian Hong, the composed Qu WuRong, the graceful Qiu LingSu, the lively Princess Pipa, and the easygoing Jin BanHua.
Then he grabbed General Qing. "You must have bragged, right?"
General Qing was speechless but had seen Hu TieHua's skills. Though not as strong as Shi Guanyin or Jin BanHua, Hu TieHua was undoubtedly a formidable expert.
So General Qing could only nod reluctantly. "I did."
Hu TieHua chuckled, trying to brush off the matter.
At that moment, Chu LiuXiang returned.
In his hand, he held a handsome man dressed in Han clothing but with a bald head—none other than Wu Hua.
