Supreme Sword Sovereign

On the long street.

Three figures dashed as fast as lightning, stirring up whirlwinds in their wake, leaving onlookers who wished to follow the commotion far behind.

In less than a moment, they vanished from sight.

Leading the way was Gu Han, who had seized the opportunity to distance himself.

Trailing at the end was Instructor Yu, his heart brimming with murderous intent, determined to eliminate the two ahead of him.

And in the middle...

There was Fatty, who had been ruthlessly tricked by Gu Han and found himself in an undeserved disaster.

"Bastard!"

Just like Gu Han.

He spat blood as he ran with all his might, also managing to bellow out with a booming voice.

"Do you have no conscience at all?"

"Conscience my ass!"

Gu Han's voice carried from afar.

"Who asked you to mock me!"

"I..."

Fatty's face trembled with rage.

"With so many onlookers, why did you have to pick on Fatty?"

"Nonsense!"

Gu Han had indeed set him up royally.

"We were in this together; we can't implicate others!"

"You..."

Fatty was utterly defenseless.@@novelbin@@

"Implicate your grandpa!"

"Filthy-hearted, worthless, bastard, son of a..."

In his desperation.

He spewed out more than a dozen different curses, none repeated.

"Save your energy."

Gu Han kindly reminded him.

"Run faster, he's almost upon us!"

"..."

Fatty fell silent.

He could sense that Instructor Yu was only a few yards behind him!

"Scoundrel!"

Seeing the two still lively enough to argue and curse, Instructor Yu was nearly bursting with rage, the murderous look in his eyes almost tangible.

He knew.

Today, he had encountered two freaks.

Gu Han.

Though his cultivation level was low, his spiritual power was exceptionally dense, far surpassing cultivators of the same level.

And Fatty.

Despite his unremarkable appearance, his physical defense was terrifyingly strong!

"To your death!"

With that thought.

He no longer hesitated, gathering all his cultivation into his right palm and striking towards Fatty's back!

Today...

He could not let them escape!

"Damn it!"

Feeling the deadly aura behind him, Fatty knew he couldn't dodge this palm. Gritting his teeth, he stopped running.

"Brother!"

His eyes red, he roared with all his might, facing Instructor Yu head-on.

"Go on, I'll hold him back for you!"

"Huh?"

Hearing this.

Gu Han's heart skipped a beat, and he slowed down.

"Come on!"

Fatty's body shone with a golden light as he charged forward with a roar!

"I killed the man, I'll take the blame! Come at me if you dare!"

Bang!

A loud noise!

Instructor Yu's full-powered palm struck Fatty squarely in the chest!

Spurt!

Blood sprayed out.

But Fatty didn't even cry out as he was sent flying dozens of yards, tumbling twice on the ground before lying still.

It looked...

Like his chances were slim.

"Fatty..."

Gu Han's expression was complex, a sense of guilt welling up inside him.

Could it be...

He really had caused his death?

Initially, he had involved Fatty partly because he was annoyed at being mocked and partly because he had witnessed Fatty's extreme defensive capabilities—a natural meat shield perfect for slowing down Instructor Yu.

But now...

Seeing Fatty possibly dead by his own doing, he was filled with regret.

"This time..."

Seeing him lost in thought.

Instructor Yu closed in with a few leaps, blocking his path once more.

"Where will you run now!"

"..."

Gu Han understood.

This time, there was no escaping.

"I'm sorry... Fatty!"

Not far away.

Fatty lay motionless, his pale face showing he could no longer hear Gu Han's words.

"Kid!"

Instructor Yu approached slowly.

"Do you regret it now? Too bad, it's too late!"

"I've said it before!"

Gu Han held his sword level, ready to unleash his spiritual power.

"If he wants to kill me, I'll kill him! And you... the same!"

This time...

He was truly ready to fight to the death.

"Stubborn to the end!"

Instructor Yu took a fierce step forward, his aura climbing with each moment!

"I'll send you to your grave!"

Just as he was about to strike.

An unexpected change occurred!

Ten yards away, Fatty, who had seemed like a corpse, suddenly sprang up and took off running again!

Instructor Yu was stunned.

So was Gu Han.

"Holy... shit!"

At that moment.

He couldn't help but curse.

"Fatty, you're not dead?"

"Nonsense!"

Fatty's voice grew fainter as he ran, sounding somewhat smug.

"What kind of person do you think I am? How could I die in such a pathetic place? Many have wanted to kill me, but he's not qualified!"

"You bastard!"

That was directed at Gu Han.

"Dare to trick me! See how you screw up! Hahaha..."

With laughter.

He was already out of sight.

"You... should die!"

Played by Fatty, Instructor Yu exploded with rage.

"You all deserve to die!"

Boom!

As he spoke.

His Spirit Profound Level Six cultivation erupted, the sheer force of it making Gu Han stagger backward.

"I'll kill you first!"

"Then him!"

"None of you will escape!"

"..."

Gu Han said nothing, his spiritual power surging out, forming a three-inch sword light at the tip of his broken blade!

This time.

He no longer resented Fatty.

On the contrary.

Relieved that Fatty was alive, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"If you want to kill me, then... huh?"

Suddenly.

He seemed to see something, his expression one of astonishment.

"Manager Li, you're back?"

"Bullshit!"

Instructor Yu sneered, his palm wrapped in formidable force, reaching Gu Han in an instant!

"Kid, you think I'll fall for the same trick?"

Bang!

In the blink of an eye!

A palm suddenly stretched out from an angle, intercepting Instructor Yu's strike!

As their palms met.

Instructor Yu was forced back dozens of yards, a sinister and soft spiritual power coursing through his body, aggravating his previous injuries, causing him to spit out a mouthful of blood.

"Heh."

A somewhat shrill voice came through.

"Calling our family bullshit, then what are you?"

"Manager... Li!"

Instructor Yu stared hard at the slightly stooped figure before him.

"Is it really you?"

"How is it? I've only been gone a short while, and you don't recognize me?"

"This kid..."

Instructor Yu glared darkly at Gu Han.

"What's your relationship with him?"

"You think you have the right to question me?"

"You..."

Instructor Yu suppressed the anger in his heart.

"Do you know he and I have a blood feud?"

"Do you know that this Brother Gu is my lifesaver?"

Suddenly.

Another voice joined the conversation.

The Seventh Prince, Jiang Feng!

Damn!

Instructor Yu's heart sank.

He didn't know why Gu Han had become the Seventh Prince's lifesaver, but he understood that it was now impossible for him to kill Gu Han.

Not to mention Manager Li's cultivation was much higher than his.

Just the Seventh Prince's status alone was enough to make him wary.

Even though he was terminally ill.

And hardly regarded.

He still had royal blood, and his status was not something a mere Martial Academy Instructor could shake.

"What now!"

Manager Li was dissatisfied.

"Seeing His Highness, aren't you going to bow?"

"Yes."

It can be hard to make great work when its stolen from "pawread dot com".

Though reluctant, Instructor Yu bowed.

"Greetings, Your Highness... huh?"

Suddenly.

He noticed something was amiss.

The current Jiang Feng, compared to a few months ago, was completely different!

Not only had the deathly pallor between his brows vanished, but he seemed reborn, and there was a subtle fluctuation of spiritual power around him!

The Seventh Prince...

Had actually gained cultivation!

"Instructor Yu."

Jiang Feng looked at him indifferently.

"Brother Gu has saved my life. If you insist on harming him, you're going against me, and the consequences... you should understand!"

Instructor Yu felt a chill.

He didn't expect Jiang Feng to block his every exit. Now, unless he wanted to die, he had to reconsider any action against Gu Han.

"What?"

Manager Li scoffed.

"Are you deaf? His Highness is speaking to you!"

"…Yes!"

"You'd better remember this and not harbor any ill intentions. Otherwise... heh, I'll take you down myself!"

"…"

Despite his burning rage.

Instructor Yu dared not lash out.

Otherwise... he would be giving Manager Li a reason to act!

"Get lost! Don't be an eyesore here!"

"Farewell!"

Instructor Yu cast a deep glance at Gu Han and left without lingering.

Gu Han knew.

The enmity between him and Instructor Yu was deep, and neither would easily let it go. This matter... was far from over.

"Brother Gu."

Seeing him covered in blood, Jiang Feng was concerned.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine."

Gu Han shook his head.

"Just a minor injury, not fatal."

"Thank goodness."

Jiang Feng was relieved.

"If Manager Li and I hadn't happened to return, today could have been disastrous."

"Manager Li."

Gu Han bowed.

"Thank you for stepping in!"

"Tsk tsk."

Manager Li was in high spirits.

"It's not easy to hear you say thanks."

"Is that so?"

Gu Han chuckled.

"Then I won't thank you!"

"..."

"Speaking of which."

Seeing the two start to bicker again, Jiang Feng quickly intervened.

"Where's that Ah-Sha girl?"

"She's at the inn, didn't come out with me."

"And your friend?"

"Friend?"

Gu Han was puzzled.

"What friend?"

"Seems to be... a Fatty."

...

In a quiet corner of the street.

Fatty, pale and staggering, bore no resemblance to his former spirited self.

"Ouch... it hurts so much!"

"Wait for it! I'll remember you! I'll get back at you for this palm... ow!"

"Bastard!"

Thinking of Gu Han, the instigator, he was fuming.

"Every time I see you, nothing good happens!"

"Last time was bad enough, but this time was even worse! If it weren't for my last resort, I would have been killed by you today... huh?"

Mid-sentence.

His expression changed drastically.

"Could it be..."

"Old Fellow once said."

He muttered to himself, recalling something.

"Human tribulation, arising from people, leads to certain death!"

"Could it be..."

"Is this bastard my human tribulation?"
