Chapter 44: The Might of Dark Bamboo, Ruler of the World!
Dong Wushang had been silent the whole time. He didn't show any special reaction to Chu Yang blocking the knife for him. However, his heart was trembling, burning with intensity!
Dong Wushang's personality was different from Chu Yang's, and it was somewhat similar to Gu Duxing's.
Chu Yang's character was such that once he spoke, he would definitely follow through! A promise worth a thousand gold!
Once he accomplished something, he must express it!
Chu Yang would never bury any of his achievements! In his previous life, he had seen many people who did good deeds but were embarrassed to speak of them and were misunderstood; he had seen many who worked hard but remained unnoticed because they didn’t speak up…
So, Chu Yang came to understand a truth: if you don’t speak, how will others know what you’ve done? If you’ve done it but don’t say anything, how can others recognize you? This is a competitive world! Moreover, the competition is about life and death!
You absolutely cannot be a fool!
After walking a dozen yards, Chu Yang used his spiritual energy to activate the medicinal effect, gently rubbing his wound; it had already scabbed over. Although it was still somewhat painful, it was no longer a major issue.
This fact caused Dong Wushang’s eyes to widen.
Chu Yang smiled, patted his shoulder, and winked, “Don’t worry, I have spiritual medicine; I’m not afraid of injuries!” He winked again, “So you guys don’t have to be afraid either!”
Dong Wushang’s eyes widened, and he suddenly laughed heartily. At this moment, he finally felt completely at ease.
Chu Yang also laughed heartily, joking, “Damn it, a saint-level sparring partner! I really hit the jackpot this time! If that guy knew I would recover this quickly, he wouldn’t be depressed to death…”
Dong Wushang laughed even harder, gasping for breath, “Not bad! Not bad! Haha…”
While laughing, he suddenly paused and said, “However, no matter what, I will eventually get back this knife from Young Master Wei!”
Dong Wushang’s voice became serious, “Originally, my martial arts aspiration was to reach the Blade Emperor; I hadn’t even considered becoming the Blade Sovereign. But after meeting you, my goal changed to Blade Sovereign… but now, my only goal is to defeat Young Master Wei and reclaim this knife!”
“This knife will be forever etched in my memory!” Dong Wushang stared into the void with determination, his voice heavy.
Chu Yang smiled but said nothing.
Looking at it this way, defeating Young Master Wei… would likely become Dong Wushang's long-term goal! Having such a goal is a blessing!
He pondered, “One moment we were laughing and drinking together, the next moment we face life and death; blades cold, edges sharp. There’s no friendship, no feelings; no benefits; driven solely by personal whims and a moment’s impulse, one could kill!”
“And it’s killing someone who could barely be considered a friend.”
He sighed softly, “Wushang, Young Master Wei has given me a profoundly memorable lesson!”
“This is the martial arts world of the Middle Three Heavens, Boss!” Dong Wushang stepped on the thick pine needles, making a rustling sound, and said solemnly, “The Middle Three Heavens and the Lower Three Heavens are two completely different dimensions! Boss, we must be clear about this. If one day the brothers are not by your side, you must not show any mercy!”
Chu Yang nodded silently.
“Don’t let Young Master Wei’s strength leak out,” Chu Yang instructed.
“I understand.” Dong Wushang felt a heavy weight in his heart; having witnessed Young Master Wei’s earth-shattering blow, he felt his own insignificance deeply.
The sense of imminent death that enveloped him made Dong Wushang's spirit tremble!
From now on, I will never feel that way again!
Looking at Chu Yang’s still bleeding hand, Dong Wushang felt a surge of determination: from now on, I will never let my brothers bleed for me!
