Be Passive In The High Martial World

Chapter 65: A Sword Comes from the West, Straight into the Eastern Court Lake (First Update, Seeking First Subscription!)

In such a critical moment, he encountered such decisive "betrayal."

For Zhou Yanwei, who has always had a warm and kind heart, it is also a deeply memorable and unforgettable scar.

Zhou Yanwei's face turned dark. If it weren't for the practitioners of the Fengyu Tower watching him like hawks, he would have wanted to rush over and fight Chen Kuang to the death!

But at this moment, his attention could no longer be distracted.

The practitioners had already swarmed up, completely disregarding martial ethics.

Zhou Yanwei sought help in vain and turned to run.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!"

The brilliance of spells flickered around, and the practitioners of the Fengyu Tower were well-trained, cooperating with each other. In an instant, the other half of the ship had also become a mess in Zhou Yanwei's escape.

Those skilled in close combat engaged in battle, while those skilled in long-range attacks ignited talismans and summoned Spiritual Treasures.

They chased after the figure that was fleeing in a panic.

Although Zhou Yanwei's strength was slightly weaker, he had traveled outside for many years and was not lacking in combat experience.

Especially in terms of escaping.

Moreover, his methods were even more diverse than those of the practitioners of the Fengyu Tower.

He threw out various miraculous Spiritual Treasures as if they were worthless, greatly delaying the pursuers' pace.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Yanwei had already approached the edge of the ship.

At this moment, half of the ship had already sunk into the water and was still sinking. It would probably completely sink in less than half an hour.

Chen Kuang watched with great interest for a while, finally witnessing how the second generation of this world fought.

It was simply burning money!

Chen Kuang's gaze shifted to the colorful, thick cover in front of him, filled with various special effects, leaving him speechless for a moment.

This person beside him was probably the biggest second generation.

Profound Spirit Dao Gate only gave invitations to core disciples, so there was no reason for Shen Meinan to be directly assigned so many miraculous Spiritual Treasures.

Therefore, most of these items were probably given by her own family.

Coupled with Shen Meinan's proficiency in music, chess, calligraphy, and painting, the Shen family was probably a half-worldly, half-practitioner family.

Families like this were not rare. The most classic example was the royal families of various countries.

Families and sects were not in opposition, but under normal circumstances, they each managed their own affairs.

When Shen Meinan saw Zhou Yanwei being blocked at the edge of the ship, in a sorry state against his enemies, and the old servant, who was loyal and disregarded his own vulnerabilities, desperately protecting him, being struck by Di Wu's fist on his back, spewing out a mouthful of blood...

The ship shook violently, and the water in the entire Eastern Court Lake surged along with it.

In just that instant, the water level of the Eastern Court Lake dropped by a section, as if the lake bed had been smashed solid!

Moving mountains and filling seas with a wave of the hand!

This Di Wu had already become a Grandmaster!

Chen Kuang took a deep breath, secretly shocked.

If the Martial Saint Pavilion was all of this fighting power... then there seemed to be no difference between being chased by the Martial Saint himself and being chased by him.

But this old servant was also ruthless. He actually used this mouthful of blood to transform Di Wu's fist strength.

Using qi to stimulate blood, he turned each blood bead into a hidden weapon.

"Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!..."

The blood beads scattered and shot out in all directions, instantly piercing the eyes of the dozen or so Fengyu Tower practitioners!

"Ah!"

The practitioners screamed in agony and died on the spot.

When Zhou Yanwei turned his head to look, he saw the old servant stagger two steps, then turned around to continue blocking Di Wu.

But the old servant's entire back had collapsed, and his upper body had shifted. If he continued to fight, he would undoubtedly die.

Immediately, the second prince's eyes widened in anger. "Stop! Don't fight!"

He flipped his right hand and grabbed a golden token, about to reveal his true identity.

But his identity was completely separate from that of the second prince of Zhou Kingdom.

He had gone to great lengths to deceive his older brother and father, shaping this identity into that of a wanderer completely unrelated to ambition.

Now, appearing in the Eastern Court Lake of the Liang Kingdom, it would undoubtedly expose a part of the hidden information, which would be very unfavorable to him.

However, Zhou Yanwei could not just watch his loyal servant, who had been faithful to him for many years, die in front of him because of his carelessness.

"Young master, there's no need for you to take action. Let this old servant handle it..."

The old servant swallowed a mouthful of bloody air, his body drenched in sweat mixed with congealed blood, steaming into a mist of blood.

"Crack! Crack! Crack!..."

His muscles exerted force, wriggling like earthworms, and he forcibly relocated his broken spine back to its original position!

The old servant shouted loudly, "Young master, please wait a moment. Let this old servant clear the way for you!"

His aged face revealed a hint of ferocity as he rushed towards Di Wu like an arrow leaving the bow.

It was clear that he was going to fight to the death.

The young girl couldn't help but glance at Chen Kuang and whispered, "Isn't he going to save us?"

Chen Kuang shook his head and said seriously, "Of course I will save him."

The passive ability of "Unable to Refuse" had already taken effect.

The person who would save Zhou Yanwei couldn't possibly be him.

But in reality, he couldn't have saved Zhou Yanwei in the first place, and Zhou Yanwei didn't need his help.

The disciple of Martial Saint was General Fei Feng of Zhou Kingdom.

Naturally, Martial Saint and Zhou Kingdom were on the same side.

Martial Saint Pavilion obeyed Martial Saint's orders, so it was the same.

As the second prince of Zhou Kingdom, as long as Zhou Yanwei was willing to reveal his identity, Martial Saint Pavilion would never dare to trouble him.

This was also the reason why Lin Eryou was so bold to assign the identity of "Chen Kuang" to Zhou Yanwei.

He was certain that Zhou Yanwei would never be in danger.

At the same time, in the process of creating chaos, it gave Chen Kuang a chance to escape.

However, what he didn't expect was that Chen Kuang not only didn't escape, but also planned to test his new passive ability.

Lin Eryou didn't know when he had already arrived on the shore. He shook his feather fan and looked at Chen Kuang who was still in place, raising an eyebrow, not knowing what he was planning to do.

Shen Meinan looked left and right, and the situation over there had already reached the stage of life and death, but Chen Kuang remained unmoved.

She blinked her eyes, and her clever intelligence finally took the upper hand. She felt that Chen Kuang might be fooling her and asked, "Then... how do we save him?"

"Wait," Chen Kuang looked up and said meaningfully, "Just wait."

Shen Meinan reached out and pulled his blindfold, speechless, "Have you seen the heavenly secret again?"

Chen Kuang saw the token shining in Zhou Yanwei's hand and nodded calmly, "I saw it."

At this moment, Zhou Yanwei was preparing to save himself, and he would definitely succeed.

But tracing back to the root cause, it was precisely because Chen Kuang had interfered first and refused Zhou Yanwei that he gave up seeking help and chose to save himself.

In other words, it could be said that it was Chen Kuang's refusal that saved Zhou Yanwei.

He had changed the cause and turned himself into the effect.

However, "Unable to Refuse" would definitely make it impossible for Chen Kuang to save Zhou Yanwei.

Chen Kuang's refusal could no longer be changed, otherwise "Unable to Refuse" would not take effect, which would be self-contradictory.

So the only thing that could be changed to separate the two was the process!

By adding new causes and variables to the entire process, to fill in the missing one.

That is, Chen Kuang's refusal was not to save Zhou Yanwei, and Zhou Yanwei couldn't save himself either!

There must be another reason to replace Chen Kuang's role in it and save Zhou Yanwei!

Just as Zhou Yanwei took out the token, one of the mysterious Spiritual Treasures on Shen Meinan suddenly emitted a cold halo.

It was a silver long-life lock with three small bells.

Shen Meinan was stunned, and then panicked, "Oh no, how did I take out my own long-life lock!"

The variable was actually on Shen Meinan?

A sense of foreboding suddenly flashed through Chen Kuang's mind, and he immediately asked, "What happened to the long-life lock?"

Shen Meinan swallowed and said nervously, "This long-life lock is connected to my sister's lifeblood. It's a matter of life and death and cannot be used."

"Just now, the long-life lock was activated and attacked. Her Primordial Spirit must have sensed it!"

Chen Kuang remained silent for a moment and asked, "How much can she sense now?"

"Everything," a familiar and cold female voice suddenly sounded, and then paused before saying indifferently, "Chen Kuang? Are you with Meinan?"

Shen Meinan blinked her eyes and looked at the young man opposite her, "Chen Kuang?"

Seeing that his identity was instantly exposed, Chen Kuang hadn't had time to explain when he heard a sword cry like a kite wailing, coming closer and closer, sweeping across the sky.

He, along with everyone present, involuntarily looked up at the sky.

"Yin—"

The sword light traversed three thousand miles, pierced through the heavens, and shot straight into Dongting Lake from the imperial city.

Chen Kuang widened his eyes, his expression changing drastically.
