Stranger Danger

Chapter 1022: Spirit Altar Space Mirror

feng qingyou did not react to the incoming white tiger. it was almost as if she couldn’t see it.

the next moment, a humanoid figure descended from the sky and stepped on the white tiger’s head, crushing it in an instant.

after destroying the white tiger, the humanoid figure rode the wind and charged toward kui pingshan.

his run was grandiose and unmissable like the sun and moon appearing on the same sky, or a sea of stars filling the night sky.

thunk!!!

the humanoid figure made contact with kui pingshan, and both were pushed back dozens of meters away from each other. by the time they stood still, the earth was shaking violently like an earthquake.

“the qian armor?”

kui pingshan glared at the humanoid figure standing a fair distance away from him with a dark expression.

“meng clan remnant!” he growled.

“killer of brother, rapist of sister-in-law!” feng qingyou responded.

enraged as if feng qingyou had just touched his reverse scale, kui pingshan roared, “you are courting death!”

in fact, feng qingyou’s remark was kui pingshan’s reverse scale. to be more accurate, it was the one memory he never wanted to dredge up for as long as he lived.

kui pingshan was born into a famous clan, but he was willfully ignorant and incompetent and so were loathed by everyone. on the other hand, his older brother was naturally talented and took to the family business from a young age. his future was bright and limitless.

despite kui pingshan’s character, his older brother loved him and showered him with care and affection. unfortunately, not only were his feelings not reciprocated, kui pingshan had coveted his wife for a long time. one time, kui pingshan tried to rape his sister-in-law while she was intoxicated. when he was discovered, kui pingshan flew into a rage and slaughtered not just his brother, but the entire clan. he ran away the very same night and eventually became a bandit.

although fortune favored kui pingshan despite his atrocious acts, and he eventually grew from a mere bandit to a great general with an entire army at his beck and call, his crime remained a thorn in his heart and a major stain in his reputation he could never remove. he was often ridiculed and insulted for what he did, and even in the nanjiang pacification army, he was scorned by most of the officers.

that was why kui pingshan was extremely cagey about this particular past of his. feng qingyou’s direct and scathing retort might as well be a knife plunged deep into his reverse scale and nerves.

eyes red with wrath, kui pingshan tried to attack feng qingyou only to be stopped by the qian armor.

kui pingshan was a half sage, and the martial art he used, “white tiger evil suppressing halberd”, was a world famous martial art. well known for its deadliness, it boasted broad techniques that could crush mountains and split rivers; repel evil and suppress demons. combined with the fact that he possessed the bloodline of the evil suppressing white tiger, the martial art was more potent than ever.

unfortunately, his opponent was the qian armor. not only was the qian armor capable of controlling the sun, the moon, and the stars, it was exceedingly fast thanks to its ability to ride the wind and traverse through space. as a result, kui pingshan was unable to break through the qian armor and reach feng qingyou at all.

but of course, the qian armor lacked the power to kill kui pingshan earlier. in fact, if kui pingshan had not wasted the heaven destroying jar on breaking out of the spirit altar space mirror, then he absolutely could have dealt the qian armor a grievous blow.

now, it was time to deal with wildland suppression and king slayer.

feng qingyou cast kui pingshan and the qian armor one last look. then, she gradually disappeared with a smile.

......

“the heaven destroying jar? kui pingshan used the heaven destroying jar? did they run into some sort of danger?”

inside a thick forest, wildland suppression was marching at high speed when suddenly, they came to a stop. the great general of wildland suppression, du nanhai turned his head and stared into the distance as if he was sensing something.

he did. he could feel the shockwaves of kui pingshan fighting against a formidable opponent.

“did something happen to barbarian slayer, general?”

the left battalion commander of wildland suppression, du yicheng, was also du nanhai’s son. he too felt the shockwaves.

“i think so,” du nanhai said solemnly.

“what should we do?” du yicheng asked.

“we go to their aid!” du nanhai replied without hesitation.

“but why?” du yicheng couldn’t understand. his father, du nanhai, was never on good terms with kui pingshan. their poor relationship inevitably caused the wildland suppression army and the barbarian slayer army to act around each other like cats and dogs. in the past, barbarian slayer would be thanking their lucky stars if du nanhai chose not to add salt to their injury, much less ride to their rescue. but now, du nanhai was going against his usual decision and choosing the unthinkable option. it was no wonder du yicheng was confused.

“the grudge between kui pingshan and me is strictly personal, and a personal grudge can never be bigger than national interest.”

du nanhai seemingly guessed du yicheng’s thoughts and said, “remember, yicheng. as a superior, you may be selfish, but you must never allow your selfishness to overtake impartialness, much less affect your nation’s interest.”

“this operation to wipe out the nanijang royal court is something in the culmination for over a century. therefore, every part of the operation must go smoothly. right now, kui pingshan is under attack. if we ignore their plight and, as a result, cause a chink in chu’s grand plan, then we may not atone for the crime even if with a million deaths. do you understand?”

“i will remember, general,” du yicheng replied with a salute.

“good.” du nanhai nodded in satisfaction before ordering, “send the order that we are changing our course to the southeast.”

“at once!”

the next moment, the wildland suppression army changed course and marched toward the barbarian slayer army.
