Chapter 10, the will to fight is overwhelming
Dugu Baitian, relying on his extraordinary physique, swiftly maneuvered among the enemies. His right hand wielded a steel knife, executing a flurry of moves: slashing, thrusting, chopping, stabbing, hacking, and cleaving, resulting in a rain of blood. Simultaneously, his left hand wielded a black jade stone, crashing down with force, killing several foes at an extremely low cost.
Just as the knife was about to strike, another person appeared beside Bai Tian.
The two ugly young masters exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing a fierce and ruthless expression
The four individuals shook their heads in unison
The four individuals displayed resolute expressions, and Du Gu Baitian's eyes were bloodshot as he said: "When the four of us were young, we fell into an ice hole while skating. It was they who risked their lives to save us, allowing us to survive until now. Now that the enemies who killed them are right before us, how can we live in peace and survive alone?"
However, both sides have long been blinded by rage, and neither is willing to back down
Dugu Baitian was struck by several knives and ultimately kicked to the ground. Multiple blades were aimed at him.
At that moment, a series of anguished cries echoed, and Dugu Baitian was taken aback, quickly turning to run back. Li Shi also couldn't help but change her expression, following closely behind.
Dugu Baitian's eyes were bloodshot as he pulled out a black jade stone and charged into the crowd, smashing it against anyone he encountered. In a short while, five enemies had their skulls crushed, while he himself bore five deep knife wounds. White brain matter and red blood mingled, a complete exchange of life for life. Three knife wounds claimed the lives of three burly men, and at that moment, Baitian resembled a figure drenched in blood. The two ugly young masters, however, remained indifferent, as if the deaths of their subordinates were of no concern to them, akin to a mere illustration in a book.

The crowd was astonished; the illustrious Sima family, renowned throughout the Han and Tang empires, is certainly not to be trifled with
"No!" Dugu Baitian cried out in despair. Blood splattered, a young life, a lovely and lively boy, a boy who had called himself brother-in-law since childhood, was about to vanish in order to save himself
The people present were shocked, and everyone ceased their attacks. What kind of friendship and familial bond is this? Four individuals, fully aware of their impending doom, still chose to avenge their brother. As one was about to meet an untimely death, another bore all the blades with his own body, extending the life of his brother through his sacrifice
Four men stood shoulder to shoulder, wielding steel knives taken from the hands of fallen enemies as they charged into the enemy ranks, blades flashing and blood splattering. The three brothers of Situ pushed the "Heart Sutra of the Bright Moon" to its limits, weaving through the enemy, each strike finding its mark. Naturally, they too were splattered with countless droplets of blood, their garments stained crimson as blood flowed freely.
Li Shiyou let out a soft sigh and stepped back
A force emanated endlessly from the depths of the jade stone, akin to a dragon returning to the sea, traversing throughout the body. The originally weak vital energy continuously circulated within the meridians, gradually strengthening. ... It traversed the extraordinary meridians, entered the eight vessels, advanced into the twelve primary channels, and infused the Ren and Du meridians, bridging heaven and earth ... . ... Like the sea embracing a hundred rivers, it all converged into the dantian. Then, it would start again from the dantian, circulating in a repetitive cycle.
Despite Du Gu Bai Tian's exceptional talent, he has only been practicing martial arts for a short time. Currently, he can barely be considered a second-rate master, and he bears the most injuries. Although Si Tu Min Yue is stronger than Du Gu Bai Tian, his kind nature makes him less ruthless in battle, and he has also sustained considerable injuries. Si Tu Hao Yue and Si Tu Ao Yue quickly positioned themselves to protect the two, but before long, both were stained with blood and fell down.
The four men found themselves surrounded in the center, facing such a multitude of enemies without any fear. They had long since set aside concerns for life and death, with only deep sorrow for their brothers and an intense hatred for their foes.
Dugu Baitian struggled to rise, filled with an overwhelming sense of despair. As he gazed at the pale face in the pool of blood, his vision blurred. This person was not only the adorable youth who called him brother-in-law all day long, but also the younger brother of the one he both loved and hated in his heart. The faces of the siblings were so similar that they seemed to merge into one. No one noticed that the black jade suddenly brightened, then gradually dimmed, as if nothing had ever happened.
Dugu Baitian shouted, "None of you can leave; blood debts must be repaid with blood!" His voice was chillingly cold, and his tiger-like eyes were filled with tears
Only the ruffians and the men in black and gray have engaged in a fierce battle. Several men in black and gray have fallen at the feet of the Situ brothers. However, several ruffians have also collapsed in pools of blood, their eyes wide open, staring blankly at the sky, unable to close their eyes in death. The bright red blood is particularly striking. Dugu Baitian is almost heartbroken, as his good brother, who has played with him since childhood, was just fine moments ago, but now has crossed into the realm of the dead.
Luo Jinlong and Liu Feng, feeling at a loss for words due to their culpability, led the group in an attempt to leave
Li Shi could not help but shed tears, rushing over quickly to stop the bleeding and apply medicine to Situ Minyue, hoping to save his swiftly fading life. The sight was shocking, with more than ten deep wounds across his back, a gruesome mess of blood and flesh.
Uh, it's nothing. Du Gu Bai Tian thought to himself: "Just kidding, let me tell you, I am actually laughing at you in my heart. It's strange that you are not glaring at me with a cold stare."
Ah... Du Gu Bai Tian gripped a knife in his right hand and held a black jade stone in his left, looking up to the sky and howling, venting the immense resentment and deep-seated hatred within him. At that moment, a surge of overwhelming battle intent emanated from the black jade stone in his left hand. Indeed, it was not an illusion; it was a consciousness—an overwhelming battle intent. In the next moment, Du Gu Bai Tian understood; this was the secret of the black jade stone. The battle intent inherited from the War Ancestor had endured for a thousand years without fading! How formidable and persistent this was. How could the descendants of the Du Gu family allow themselves to be bullied? A piece of jade that had been touched by the hands of the ancestor could still be activated by killing intent to such an extent; how much more so for a person of true passion!
Bai Tian, brothers... sob... so many brothers have been killed by these beasts, we must avenge them, sob..." A thug, covered in blood, crawled to the feet of Dugu Bai Tian
At this moment, the ruffians had all fallen, and the three brothers of the Situ family were covered in blood and injuries. Although their martial arts had reached the level of top masters, even the bravest cannot withstand the numbers, and they had sustained countless wounds from swords and daggers.
In an instant, Dugu Baitian fell into despair, filled with hatred, deep hatred. Why? Did my brothers have to die in vain like this? Why do the ugly faces of the villains still sneer there? Why aren't they the ones who are dead? My brothers, although they fought, gambled, and frequented brothels, were by no means good people in the eyes of those stubborn and upright old scholars, but they could never be considered bad people. Fighting was merely entertainment among brothers; even when fighting outsiders, it was against those true rascals and hoodlums, never bullying the weak.

Fighting was merely entertainment among brothers; even when fighting outsiders, it was against those true rascals and hoodlums, never bullying the weak. Gambling involved only our own money; we never stole or robbed, and we often gave alms to the homeless and unfortunate. Visiting brothels, as my brothers would say, was a normal physiological need, far better than those hypocrites who appeared to be gentlemen but were actually thieves and prostitutes behind closed doors. Why did my genuine brothers have to die tragically, while those truly wicked people continue to live freely in this world?

Li Shiming understood that they intended to kill to silence. He quickly whispered in a voice only the four of them could hear: "You four should hurry and leave, they want to kill to silence. As long as the green mountains remain, there is no fear of running out of firewood"
Dugu Baitian's heart ached as if it were being torn apart, and he shouted loudly: "Stop."
The three brothers of Situ also stood beside Dugu Baitian with tears in their eyes, saying: "You bunch of beasts, blood for blood. No matter where you go, our Situ family will not let you off."
Du Gu Xiaobai's body crackled incessantly, as unknown meridians within were opened one after another, enduring immense pain while drenched in sweat. In just the time it takes to brew a cup of tea, all the meridians in his body were unblocked, and the wounds on his body healed seamlessly. The power derived from a small piece of jade had, in an instant, forged a martial arts master. The original owner from a thousand years ago was extraordinarily formidable; this is a legacy that spans millennia! A thousand years ago, he looked down upon all others, and a thousand years later, he still harbors an indomitable fighting spirit! Thus, a legend of the martial world begins!
Li Shi hurried over to protect the two individuals, dragging them out of the battlefield. Upon discovering that they had merely fainted, she quickly applied medicine to stop their bleeding
Upon seeing the three individuals fighting so fiercely for their lives, "Mouse Spirit" Luo Jinlong and "Short Winter Melon" Liu Feng quickly replaced the more than ten people behind them. These were truly skilled experts, and the few of them immediately felt the pressure
At this moment, Li Shi shouted loudly: "Luo Jinlong, Liu Feng, you are going too far. Do you want to exterminate us completely?" As she spoke, she leaped forward, positioning herself in front of Dugu Baitian and the three brothers of the Situ family. The gray-clad and black-clad individuals ceased their attacks upon seeing her approach.
kill
Li Shi further stated: "Preserve your lives; it is not too late to seek revenge later. Right now, they are numerous and powerful. You are made of iron, but how many nails can you withstand? Even if I were to assist you, it would be futile; there are simply too many of them."
What is it that Master Dugu is laughing so happily about? Please share it so that this young lady can also partake in the joy
