Bu Ting's face darkened, and he turned to look at Xiang Kai, "Impudent, you..."

"Go to hell!" Xiang Kai suddenly leaped up, the Desperate Hook in his hand flashed with a cold light, heading straight for Bu Ting.

"Impudent!" Bu Ting countered with a palm towards Xiang Kai's Desperate Hook. Flesh met steel hook head-on, surprisingly producing a metallic clang.

Bu Ting stood motionless, while Xiang Kai flew back several meters, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Bu Ting stood with his hands behind his back, coldly eyeing Xiang Kai, "You've been poisoned, yet you dare to force your true energy. You don't want to live."

Xiang Kai slowly stood up, his gaze calmly fixed on Xiang Zhennan, "Third Uncle! My father died early, and you raised me. What did you teach me when I was young?"

"You taught me: In life, one must be worthy of three things. Worthy of one's conscience, worthy of one's closest friends and relatives, worthy of all that one has learned."

"Third Uncle, I have always been doing what you taught me, but today, who can I be worthy of?"

Xiang Zhennan's face showed shame, "I know that what I'm doing will be scorned by the martial world."

"However, the Battle of Liangjie Mountain cannot be lost."

"No hidden dangers can be left by the Emperor's side. The Greed Wolf can only be one of our own."

"Haha..." Xiang Kai laughed miserably, "How does Third Uncle know that Ye Yang will definitely betray his master? And how does he know that Po Jun and Qi Sha will definitely submit to the Emperor?"

"Third Uncle, although Li Po and Ye Yang have never promised to stand up and resist the heavenly tribulation, haven't they done enough for the Emperor's return?"

"Do they have ambitions to dominate the martial world?"

"I know that you suspect Li Po possesses the aura of an Emperor, and Ye Yang might push him to the throne, making him the next Emperor."

"But you don't know that Li Po dispersed his aura of an Emperor without hesitation for the sake of Liangjie Hall?"

"I can't see the so-called hidden dangers. But I saw my own brothers fall before my eyes. Moreover, half of their misfortune today is because of Xiang Kai."

"Third Uncle..."

"Don't call me that!" Xiang Zhennan suddenly roared, "As a member of the Xiang family, as a disciple of Di Xiansheng, you should make sacrifices for the world. Competing for the life of the Heavenly Wolf is what you must do."

Xiang Kai appeared exceptionally calm, "Third Uncle, the Battle of Liangjie Mountain does need the Greed Wolf, but that Greed Wolf doesn't necessarily have to be me! You Ming, Di Lei, and Xiao Tian can all be the Greed Wolf."

The color drained from Xiang Zhennan's face, "What are you going to do?"

Xiang Zhennan knew that after a person suffered an unprecedented blow, going crazy, going berserk, or even fainting on the spot would be nothing. It was when they became incomparably calm that something truly major was about to happen.

Xiang Kai smiled, "Third Uncle, Xiang Kai has been wandering the martial world all his life and has been trying to follow your teachings. But I've found that I can't do many things perfectly. This time, it's the same."

"I never felt that I should avoid anything before."

"Now, let me avoid it once!"

Xiang Kai suddenly turned the Desperate Hook and stabbed it into his own chest. The half-foot-long Desperate Hook pierced through Xiang Kai's heart.

Xiang Kai held the hook with one hand and fell backward to the ground.

"Xiang Kai... Xiang Kai!" Xiang Zhennan rushed over and hugged his nephew's body, crying loudly.

Xiang Zhennan, famous throughout the martial world, kept hitting his head and shaking Xiang Kai desperately, as if trying to wake him up.

But once a person is dead, they are dead!

No amount of regret or sadness can change anything.

"Old Xiang..." Yan Junyi struggled to crawl over, while Xia Xiaotian was also crying in despair.

Only Bu Youming stood there calmly.

Yan Junyi, unable to crawl over, shouted hoarsely, "Bu Youming, are you stupid! Go save Old Xiang! He might still be saved."

Bu Youming said coldly, "He can't be saved. Xiang Kai is determined to die. No one can save him."

"Bullshit!" Yan Junyi cursed, "You haven't even gone over to save him, how do you know he can't be saved? Why don't you do something!"

Bu Youming seemed not to hear what Yan Junyi was shouting. He just stood there and said calmly, "Xiang Kai, I know that half of the reason you died was for me."

"You don't want to fight me, so you can only die first."

"You're stupid!"

"You committed suicide for me. How can I, Bu Youming, have the face to live alone in this world?"

"Di Lei, Xiao Tian. If you can live, don't forget to bury me and Xiang Kai together."

"What are you doing?" When Yan Junyi suddenly turned to look at Bu Youming, the other person struck his own chest with a palm. A gust of violent palm wind, carrying blood, shot out from his back. The blood sprayed wildly in the air for several seconds before Bu Youming's body slowly fell to the ground.

"Bu Youming!" Yan Junyi roared, "You bastard!"

"You and Xiang Kai are both bastards!"

Before Yan Junyi's roar faded, black poisonous blood gushed out of his mouth.

Yan Junyi was as close as brothers to Xiang Kai and Bu Youming. With the two of them dying on the spot, Yan Junyi, in his extreme grief and anger, accelerated the onset of the poison, and his soul also returned to the netherworld in an instant.

Of Di Xiansheng's disciples, only Xia Xiaotian remained.
