Chapter 55 You're not fast enough, and you're not ruthless enough!
"Indeed, if you don't kill the snake, it will cause endless trouble!"
Wei Wu nodded in deep agreement.
Isn't what we're seeing right now a prime example?
Sun Baifa, who used to avoid Shangguan Jin Hong like the plague, seized the opportunity to sabotage Shangguan Jin Hong after narrowly escaping death.
That's only human nature.
Cao Cao understood and respected this.
Anyway, he wasn't planning on letting Shangguan Jin Hong survive the challenge—
The reason Sun Baifa survived the "Heavenly Secret Staff" attack was because he coveted Sun Xiaohong's body.
The reason Li Xunhuan survived the fight against "Little Li Flying Dagger" was because he coveted his sister-in-law's body.
He, Shangguan Jinghong, who possessed the "Dragon and Phoenix Rings," had a problem. If he didn't kill them soon, some Tom, Dick, and Harry might think he was always showing mercy and come to challenge him.
Even to avoid future trouble, Shangguan Jin Hong cannot live.
Since Shangguan Jin Hong cannot live, then Shangguan Fei must also die.
If Shangguan Fei is going to die, then Jing Wuming, as Shangguan Jin Hong's shadow, naturally cannot live either.
If you calculate it that way, it seems he has quite a few people he's going to kill next.
Isn't that a bit too much trouble?
Wei Wu stroked his chin, his eyes gleaming.
Sun Baifa had seen many people and knew that young men of this age often had the habit of thinking "Heaven is the greatest, I am second only" and "It's not bad to have a rival." He immediately reminded him:
Do you know about "The Orphan of Zhao"?
"Even a powerful minister like Tu Anjia, due to a single careless move—leaving behind an infant—ultimately suffered the consequences eighteen years later!"
"They say a gentleman takes revenge even after ten years, but a ruthless person will take revenge even after twenty or thirty years, even if it's just one thing they've done their whole life!"
Sun Baifa's "earnest teachings" interrupted Wei Wu's train of thought, but also served as a reminder to him—
As the number one weapon on the list for so many years, Sun Baifa brought benefits to the Sun family that were definitely not just the obvious word "safety".
Remember when Sun Baifa first appeared, he boasted arrogantly, "Actually, what I'm most proud of isn't martial arts, but intelligence. I wouldn't dare say I know everything about the martial world, but there are few secrets I don't know." (Chapter 35)
He hadn't thought about it carefully then, but now, after a moment's thought, he realized that Sun Baifa must have an intelligence network spread throughout the entire martial arts world.
Given the rapid disappearance of the Money Gang after Shangguan Jin Hong's death, it's hard to guarantee that the Sun family didn't secretly use their connections and influence to carry out a dirty trick.
Since he is so eager to kill Shangguan Jin Hong, it is perfectly reasonable and justifiable to ask the Sun family for help.
Wei Wu suddenly stared intently at Sun Baifa.
Sun Baifa felt a chill run down his spine, but smiled kindly and said, "Why are you looking at me like that? Do you think I said something wrong?"
"No, I think you're right."
Wei Wu's words relieved Sun Baifa, but then he immediately taught Sun Baifa a lesson:
"You're not fast enough, and you're not ruthless enough."
"What's the point of just killing Shangguan Jin Hong? You yourself said you wanted to eliminate all threats to prevent future troubles. Have you forgotten about Shangguan Fei?"
Sun Baifa blinked, a fine layer of sweat appearing on his forehead. "This... the harm shouldn't extend to family members. I've been hiding for so many years, and Shangguan Jin Hong didn't threaten me with the Sun family either."
Moreover, Shangguan Fei's martial arts aptitude is not very good. Even if he trains for another twenty or thirty years, his Dragon and Phoenix Rings will never reach Shangguan Jin Hong's level.
"But with his martial arts skills, he's easily ranked within the top thirty on the weapon ranking list. If he can't handle you and me, can't he handle others?"
When Wei Wu grinned, he always showed eight teeth, but every time he smiled like that, the person opposite him would look so scared that they would swallow hard.
Am I that scary?
Sun Baifa avoided Wei Wu's gaze. "I will find Shangguan Fei's trail. He failed to recruit Yan Shuangfei last time and even lost Tang Du. After returning to the Golden Money Gang, he was taught a lesson by Shangguan Jin Hong. I don't know why the father and son fell out. Now he has disappeared from the martial arts world. It will take some time."
"Three days. I need to see Shangguan Fei's head within three days. This isn't a consultation fee; it's just to let me see if the Sun family is truly qualified."
Wei Wu's smile was full of warning.
"Okay, I promise."
Sun Baifa sighed. What's the use of playing so many tricks? To put it nicely, both thunder and rain are the emperor's grace. To put it bluntly, when you're weaker than others, you have to swallow whatever comes your way, whether it's food or shit!
You still have to put on a smiling face!
Wei Wu is not Shangguan Jin Hong. He has the strength of the Happy King, and he is ten or a hundred times more ruthless than the Happy King. If the Sun family can get on good terms with this young man, they will be able to live in peace even after he passes away.
Thinking of this, Sun Baifa's eyes sharpened, and he solemnly promised:
"Within a day at most, news of Shangguan Fei will be on your desk, and within three days, I will deliver his head to Shangguan Jin Hong."
This also means that the Sun family and the Money Gang have officially broken ties and started playing the life-or-death game.
亏？
There's no such thing as a blood oath without a loss!
Wei Wu was very satisfied, so he said, "Your injuries require rest. If you need anything in the next few days, just tell the servants on the estate."
He should rightfully employ the people in the village; after all, from any perspective, this was the inheritance his sister-in-law had left behind, so it wouldn't hurt for him to use some of it.
Sun Xiaohong wasn't in a hurry. The girl was still too young. He preferred the fuller figures of Lin Xian'er and his sister-in-law, while Lin Lingling's slender figure was also nice. He just didn't like ribs.
When Wei Wu returned to the plum garden, Lin Xian'er and her sister-in-law were still resting. The long-term cultivation of the Great Music of Yin and Yang was beneficial to them.
Refining essence into qi is secondary; the most important thing is to prolong life, maintain youth, and avoid all diseases. At the same time, one will become increasingly dependent on Wei Wu's assistance.
The reason why the Great Music of Yin and Yang is a demonic art lies here!
—The results are different. Wei Wu can increase his power and strengthen his physique, achieving the same effects as them, and he can also absorb the essence of different people.
However, those who became demon consorts could only rely on Wei Wu for nourishment.
Wei Wu licked his lips. "This technique is truly a disaster for women. Even a chaste and virtuous woman like my sister-in-law, who endures humiliation and hardship, lost many of her resistances after just one night."
"Fortunately," Wei Wu said with a satisfied smile, "I'm not exactly a moral gentleman either."
Suddenly, he sensed an aura appearing outside Xingyun Manor. The other party had come openly and honestly, without any intention of concealing their presence.
Wei Wu immediately focused his energy in his dantian, and in a few steps, he leaped onto a plum tree, landing outside Xingyun Manor with the speed of a rabbit and the agility of a falcon.
Standing there was a man dressed entirely in black, even the sword in his hand was jet black.
"Guo Songyang, the 'Songyang Iron Sword,' is ranked fourth on the weapon ranking list. I heard that Shangguan Jin Hong is going to challenge you, so I've come to join in the fun ahead of time."
His beard swayed as he spoke, making him appear both arrogant and dashing, both serious and unrestrained.
Wei Wu's gaze fell on the corpse at his feet, which was an "old acquaintance"—"Iron Crutch" Zhuge Gang.
Guo Songyang laughed and said, "I'm short of money. I ate someone's meal and didn't want to leave. I might as well kill someone to pay off the debt."
Wei Wu nodded slightly and said, "A life for a life, you've made your way in life."
