Chapter 1506 Mutual Defeat

The Law Enforcer’s eyes were cold and fierce, as he revealed a smile without a trace of humor, “What’s the difference between you and me? Aren’t we both just remnants of souls? We’ve both had similar experiences, both had brothers, both followed the Nine Tribulations Sword Master! We’re both lonely in this world, both drifting in the human realm, what’s the difference?”

Wu Juecheng mocked him with a laugh, “What gives you the right to compare yourself to me? For tens of thousands of years, I’ve always remembered my brothers, but how many do you remember? When I first survived, my only thought was hatred! I hate! I hate my ancestors for only giving me a piece of that thing… why couldn’t they give me more? So I could save all my brothers?”

“For tens of thousands of years, my heart has remained unchanged! Even if the heavens condemn me, I won’t change! I won’t leave! I’m waiting for justice! When I die, I will bring that justice and explanation to my brothers, telling them that I have obtained justice!”

“And what about you?”

“You use the souls of your brothers to sustain your own life! You use the power of their souls to improve your own cultivation! You live in this world entirely for your own selfish desires and ambitions! In these twenty thousand years, what have you truly done for your brothers? What have you done for yourself? What have you done for your own family?”

“You’re only living for yourself!”

“You don’t even care about your descendants! Are you even human? You denied your brothers back then, are you even human?”

Wu Juecheng roared, and the Law Enforcer took a step back, suddenly raising his head, “So what? Regardless, I, Lou Wenlong, am now on equal footing with you, even to the point where you’re no longer my match!”

“You, Lou Wenlong? Scoundrel! Even now, you use your brother’s name to bear the infamy for you!” Wu Juecheng became angrier as he spoke, his beard bristling. Suddenly, he shouted, “Diwu Chouchang! Did you really think I couldn’t figure out your true identity, you despicable scoundrel?!”

“You damned wretch! You heartless scoundrel! You shameless, despicable villain! You vile, filthy criminal!”

“F*ck your mother! To hell with you!” Wu Juecheng cursed, “Piss on your mother!”

Wu Juecheng grew angrier as he spoke, eventually resorting to cursing without any semblance of grace. However, he felt absolutely exhilarated!

Some people in the world deserve to be killed, and some deserve to be cursed! And the Law Enforcer in front of him undoubtedly topped both lists!

The Law Enforcer’s face slowly darkened, becoming increasingly sinister and oppressive. He spoke word by word, “Wu Juecheng, with your status and position, do you not feel ashamed to use such vulgar language? To insult someone’s ancestors, don’t you think it’s despicable?”

“I don’t feel ashamed! I haven’t cursed enough!” Wu Juecheng went on with another round of cursing, thoroughly enjoying himself. In the end, Wu Juecheng laughed heartily, “Originally, you weren’t worth my cursing, nor were you qualified for me to curse you. But I’ve found that cursing you without any reservations is truly refreshing!”

He roared, “F*ck your ancestors! Refreshing! I feel so good!”

Law Enforcer’s face was distorted with anger, and he shouted, “Wu Juecheng, I respect you as an elder, but don’t mistake my respect for weakness! You think I can’t curse people too?”

Wu Juecheng burst into laughter, “Curse me? On what grounds? I have countless reasons to curse you, but do you have any to curse me?”

He roared to the sky, “In my life, who have I wronged, Wu Juecheng?”

“Who have I betrayed in my life?”

“I, Wu Juecheng, live with a clear conscience! I’m not a good person, but I’m open and aboveboard! I have brothers! I have a conscience!”

“Do you? Do you? Do you?”

Wu Juecheng asked three times, advancing with each question, and Law Enforcer couldn’t help but step back. As Wu Juecheng moved forward, he retreated, taking three steps back in total!

Suddenly, Law Enforcer was furious and about to speak when Wu Juecheng laughed loudly, “Stand up straight? Diwu Chouchang, can you even stand up straight in this life?”

Diwu Chouchang replied word by word, “Whether I can stand up straight… you won’t be able to see!”

Wu Juecheng snorted, “That’s why I said you’re despicable and shameless! You’re now immune to all poisons; my poison is useless against you! But your demonic qi can corrode my body!”

“You even said that in three months, you could kill me… You’re still plotting against me even now!” Wu Juecheng tilted his head, looking at the black palm print on his shoulder, “I’m just curious, where did you learn this demonic skill?”

Diwu Chouchang’s pupils shrank, “This is the secret technique of the Law Enforcer, the Divine Technique of the Sky and Earth! Wu Juecheng, even you can be wrong!”

Wu Juecheng sneered, “I’ve eaten more salt than you’ve eaten rice, the Divine Technique? You think I’ve never seen it? Which Law Enforcer of the past hasn’t fought me? Diwu Chouchang, can you be more of a man?”

Diwu Chouchang slowly said, “You won’t be able to see or know anymore!”

Wu Juecheng laughed heartily, took a red object from his bosom, stuffed it into his mouth without looking, chewed it, and swallowed it. He then took out six other differently colored objects and calmly put them in his mouth to chew.

“The Seven Poisons of the Mortal World!?” Law Enforcer’s face changed.

“Seven Poisons suppress demonic qi; it’s using poison to fight poison!” Wu Juecheng mocked, “Don’t forget, I am a poison doctor!”

“Unfortunately, the Seven Poisons can only temporarily suppress it!” Diwu Chouchang sneered, “You can’t escape death!”

Wu Juecheng coldly laughed, “Even if I die, I’ll be more comfortable than you! I suddenly feel happy for your eight brothers. They were lucky to die together and leave you behind. If such heroes died alongside a scum like you, that would be a real insult…”

In Wu Juecheng’s laughter, Law Enforcer roared and charged forward.

Wu Juecheng laughed loudly and fearlessly faced him!

This time, their battle was different from before.

Previously, they at least tried to dodge and evade, but now, they were going head-to-head without holding back!

“You don’t dodge, and I won’t either!” The two fighters went all out with their attacks. Wu Juecheng laughed heartily, talking more this time, while the Law Enforcer remained silent.

“You’re not worthy!”

“You’re not worthy of anything!”

“You’re nothing but trash!”

“Traitor!”

“How dare you mention your old brothers!”

“If your father knew what you’ve become, he would’ve strangled you when you were born!”

“If your mother knew…”

Wu Juecheng’s words grew increasingly venomous, his eyes gleaming with pleasure. By the end, he was laughing wildly, “So satisfying! Truly satisfying!”

Unable to bear it any longer, the Law Enforcer roared, and suddenly his body was engulfed in a demonic qi. He seemed to become insubstantial, turning into a large mass of black energy that rushed towards Wu Juecheng.

Laughing all the while, Wu Juecheng narrowed his eyes and met the attack head-on!

Bang, bang, bang! Three consecutive collisions resounded!

Wu Juecheng’s palm struck the Law Enforcer’s left chest, while his foot kicked the latter’s abdomen. At the same time, the Law Enforcer’s black-energy-filled hand fiercely slapped Wu Juecheng’s chest.

With a crack, the Law Enforcer’s ribs broke, his abdomen shook, and he spewed out a jet of black blood – Wu Juecheng had injured his demonic energy source!

Simultaneously, Wu Juecheng’s chest emitted a cracking sound as two ribs broke, but he quickly used his energy to hold them in place. Both fighters grunted and retreated once more.

This time, both of them were severely injured. Wu Juecheng had been struck by demonic energy for the second time, and it was on his chest!

As they retreated, a sinister glint flashed in the Law Enforcer’s eyes. “Kill him!” he ordered.

Suddenly, Wu Juecheng felt a terrible sense of foreboding. As he retreated, a fierce killing intent surged from the white snow on both sides. Two figures appeared, one with a sword and the other with a knife, aiming for Wu Juecheng’s left shoulder and ribs.

At this moment, Wu Juecheng was being pushed back and couldn’t control his movements. The sword and knife attacks were cunning and perfectly timed to prevent him from avoiding both. If he dodged the knife, he would be struck by the sword, and vice versa.

On top of that, both attackers were at the middle stage of Ninth-Rank Supreme!

Wu Juecheng laughed heartily, “Truly despicable!”

Suddenly, with a loud shout, his white robe shattered into countless strips of cloth that shot out as if they were divine weapons. Wu Juecheng then twisted his body, tilted his head, and shrugged his shoulder to avoid the knife. He met the sword with his waist.

There was a crisp sound as a strange jade on Wu Juecheng’s waist shattered. A trace of pain appeared on his face as he twisted away and retreated.

The sword light was like a venomous snake. After piercing and shattering the jade, it instinctively twisted and flicked, slashing a deep gash from Wu Juecheng’s ribcage to his shoulder. It nearly cut his body in half.

Wu Juecheng let out a long cry, “Tonight, I am fortunate to survive. In the future, I’ll reclaim my place in the Law Enforcement City!” His body flickered and spun, leaving a trail of blood droplets in the sky. In an instant, he had moved 500 feet away. Two shadows felt as if a morning breeze had brushed past their faces and a white cloud had drifted by, with Wu Juecheng’s figure disappearing.

Blood still dripped from the sword tip, steaming with heat.

But Wu Juecheng had vanished into the wind and snow.

“Morning Wind Technique!”

“Morning Wind Technique!”

The two shouted simultaneously.

Not far away, the Law Enforcer watched the direction Wu Juecheng had fled, disappointment and resentment filling his eyes, his left hand gently rubbing his abdomen.

“It’s the jade token of the Morning Wind Supreme!” One shadow picked up the shattered jade pieces left by Wu Juecheng, pieced them together, and faintly, five characters appeared as they gazed upon it: “The Morning Wind Rises in the Universe!”

“No wonder it could block the sword of a Ninth Rank Supreme…” Another shadow holding a precious sword said with some unwillingness.

“It doesn’t matter,” the Law Enforcer took a couple of deep breaths and then spat out a mouthful of black blood, “Today, he has been hit by my marrow-dissolving qi twice and injured by the sword. With internal and external injuries combined, plus the shock damage…he won’t recover within a year. Moreover, even a poison doctor can’t cure the marrow-dissolving qi. It can only be temporarily suppressed…within a year, Wu Juecheng poses no threat!”

“Yes,” the two bowed and agreed.

“But I am also severely injured and need to find a place to heal,” the Law Enforcer frowned, “I need to close myself off for three months to recover… During this time, I’ll leave the matters of our family to you two.”
