Becoming an immortal against the will of heaven

Wu Debiao assumed that the mountain bandit leader here was still Chang Gui, so he didn't bring many people, only about fifty including himself.

However, this scarred man was clearly prepared, having gathered over three hundred men to ambush them from both sides.

So, even though Wu Debiao's men were very capable fighters, they were still outnumbered and retreated steadily. Before long, ten of them had died under a flurry of blades.

The remaining men were terrified at the sight, and their morale plummeted.

Wu Debiao was very anxious when he saw this. He knew that if he didn't boost their morale now, they might all die here today.

As the old saying goes, to defeat bandits, first capture their leader!

The best way to boost morale was to capture the enemy's leader!

And coincidentally, Wu Debiao was facing the leader of these bandits, the scarred man.

So Wu Debiao knew that if he wanted to survive, all he could do was subdue this scarred man!

"You shameless scoundrel, eat your grandpa's dual blades!"

With that thought, Wu Debiao roared and swung the twin blades in his hands, attacking the scarred man from both sides.

Wu Debiao had practiced martial arts since childhood and traveled the world for many years. He wielded his twin blades with great skill, and countless bandits had died under his blades, earning him the title 'Twin Blades Wu'.

The twin blades Wu Debiao wielded created a strong whirlwind around him, sweeping up countless fallen leaves and bringing a fierce killing intent!

But the scarred man showed no fear on his face. Instead, he sneered disdainfully, reached to his waist, and pulled out a whip made of ox tendon.

The scarred man sat on horseback, watching Wu Debiao approach. He waited for the right moment, and then, with a crisp "crack", the whip shot out like a snake, striking Wu Debiao's left hand solidly.

The blow caused a large bruise to swell on Wu Debiao's left hand, and he lost his grip on his blade, which fell to the ground with a clang.

"Hmph, so much for Twin Blades Wu. You're nothing special. Now that you've lost one blade, what can you do against me, your king!" The scarred man mocked Wu Debiao.

Wu Debiao was furious. Ignoring the pain in his left hand, he gripped his remaining blade tightly and roared, "Even with one blade, I'll still kill you!"

With that, Wu Debiao leaped into the air, soaring high, wielding his single blade, and slashing down at the scarred man with the force of Mount Tai.

"Hmph, you don't know what's good for you!"

The scarred man remained unmoved, sneering. He raised his whip again, and with a little force, the whip, which had been like a soft snake, suddenly became as hard as a steel cable, wrapping around Wu Debiao's waist.

Seeing this, Wu Debiao knew something was wrong. He immediately changed the direction of his blade, slashing at the whip wrapped around him, trying to cut it.

"Hehe, quick reaction, but too late!"

The scarred man sneered again, then flicked his wrist. The whip, which had been like a soft snake, instantly became as hard as a steel cable. With a sharp tug, Wu Debiao was flung into the air and then crashed heavily to the ground.

"Pfft..."

After falling from the air, Wu Debiao seemed to have suffered internal injuries, and he spat out a mouthful of blood.

"Captain!"

Wu Debiao's men were immediately anxious when they saw this and rushed towards him.

This sudden disruption of their formation was equivalent to exposing their defensive weaknesses to the enemy.

In the ensuing chaos, more than a dozen guards were killed under a flurry of blades.

In the blink of an eye, only twenty or so of Wu Debiao's men remained, all battered and disheartened.

The scarred man was overjoyed at the sight. He walked forward with a loud laugh and stomped hard on Wu Debiao's left wrist.

"Ah... ah... Beast... I'll kill you..."

The scarred man stomped down with extreme force, and all the tendons in Wu Debiao's left hand were severed. Excruciating pain surged through Wu Debiao, and he was drenched in sweat.

"Hehe, Wu, haven't you recognized me yet?" At this moment, the scarred man leaned closer to Wu Debiao, his face grim. "Qiao Quan, haven't you forgotten that name yet?"

"What, you're Qiao Quan?"

Hearing the scarred man announce his name, Wu Debiao was stunned for a moment, then stared intently at his face.

However, unfortunately, although Qiao Quan was intelligent, he was not righteous. There was always a violent streak in his heart. When he attacked, he often aimed to take lives.

Furthermore, Qiao Quan liked to drink, and whenever he was drunk, his temper would become extremely volatile.

One day, after escorting a shipment, Qiao Quan gathered several junior disciples to go to a brothel to relax.

There was a prostitute in the brothel who was Qiao Quan's mistress, and he had spent a lot of money on her.

But that day, when Qiao Quan went to find her, he was furious to find her in bed with another man.

Qiao Quan was enraged and immediately smashed the man's skull. Then, as if not appeased, he killed the woman as well.

Hearing the commotion, the other guards in the brothel rushed over to subdue Qiao Quan.

However, Qiao Quan was so enraged that he killed all the guards as well.

The junior disciples who had come with Qiao Quan saw that something was wrong and rushed to stop him. But Qiao Quan seemed to have gone mad, killing two of his fellow disciples and seriously injuring seven.

By the time Qiao Quan came to his senses, his hands were covered in blood.

Qiao Quan was terrified and rushed to find Wu Debiao, begging him to save him.

But Wu Debiao refused and reported him to the government, which sentenced him to exile in the frontier.

"Master, you didn't expect it, did you? After spending decades in that godforsaken place, I'm back! And this time, your disciple has returned to repay your kindness!"

Although he said he was repaying kindness, Qiao Quan's face was grim. He pulled out a delicate dagger and was about to stab it into Wu Debiao's head.

Seeing this, Wu Debiao was resigned to his fate, quietly waiting for the moment the dagger would pierce him.

"Shoosh!"

However, at that moment, a whip suddenly lashed out from a distance, knocking away the dagger that was about to hit Wu Debiao's eyes.

Qiao Quan was shocked and quickly looked up, finding Chen Tianzheng standing in front of them with a smile, holding a strange whip in his hand.
