Chapter 701 Jealousy and Betrayal

E Renjie stood on a drum tower, the tallest building nearby, with a wide view and a panoramic view in all directions.

The north wind blew through the Drum Tower, making his clothes flutter wildly.

He crossed his arms and looked down at Zhou You who was not far away, with a half-smile on his face.

If it weren't for the blood-stained cloak on his back that made him look a little disheveled, E Renjie would have been in a state of absolute suppression over Zhou You, looking down on him.

"Nine-headed insect, E Renjie, the evil martial artist of the fifth level of martial arts."

"What is he doing here? Is it him who is responsible for all the mess and casualties here?"

"..."

It's not that there are no powerful warriors in the city, but most of them are scattered everywhere, such as the headquarters guarding the city gate, the guards of the prison, and the hidden backups of the major families, etc...

These powerful men have heavy responsibilities and cannot withdraw even when facing an invasion by wizards.

Therefore, even if they discovered that E Renjie was wreaking havoc, they could only sit back and watch him continue to kill people and destroy buildings.

Unless the Nine-Headed Insect expands to the point of actively attacking vital areas, even these powerful forces will not take action to stop it.

What's more, E Renjie is a master in the middle stage of Qiangwu, and few people can be his opponent.

"Hoohoo!"

Zhou You took a few breaths and asked in a deep voice, "You broke into the city just for Feng Zi?"

Then there was a loud shout filled with resentment, "Yes, it's for Qi Fengzi."

This voice did not come from E Renjie, but came from the road in the ruins. A man walked forward stepping on broken bricks and tiles.

Qi Fengxiong appeared and asked Zhou You, "Do you remember me?"

Zhou You shook his head decisively. He felt that the person looked familiar, but he was sure that he had never seen him before.

"I am Qi Fengxiong, a descendant of the Gongliang Qi family and a disciple of the Jueguang Sect. You Zhouyou, who do you think you are? You are just a follower of my third brother. Now you are a powerful person. Everyone in the world sees you as a strong warrior, but they don't know that you can get to where you are today all thanks to my Qi family!"

Qi Fengxiong's face was distorted by jealousy.

He has been the pride of his family since he was young. He broke through to the level of a martial artist at a young age and obtained a precious spot to join the Jueguang Sect. He is the most likely candidate in this generation of the family to achieve a breakthrough to become a martial artist.

But since joining the Jueguang Sect, his smooth life has undergone tremendous changes.

The Jueguang Sect gathered the most outstanding talents from aristocratic families. With qualifications like Qi Fengxiao, he could only be ranked in the middle class at best. He suddenly fell from a top position to being just like everyone else, and the psychological gap was too huge.

Later, Gongliang was destroyed, the Qi family moved away, and the supply from the family was cut off.

Qi Fengxiong completely fell to the bottom of the sect's most ordinary level, even worse than some junior martial artists with family backgrounds.

Not only did his dream of breaking through the powerful martial arts be shattered, but he was also deprived of the right to live a peaceful life. He was sent to the battlefield time and time again to fight with wizards, and became a stepping stone for other fellow disciples.

After hearing that Zhou You had achieved a breakthrough, Qi Fengxiao's mentality completely collapsed. How could a civilian warrior surpass him?

Especially when he heard that Zhou You originally followed Qi Fengzhang, the most useless third brother in the family, he became even more jealous.

He originally tried to suppress his anger, thinking that if he agreed to let him participate in the Dingshi method, he might be able to forgive Zhou You.

But Zhou You rejected him, which made Qi Fengxiong have nowhere to vent his anger and his mentality was completely distorted. Until the day of the Dingshi method, the pharmacist Cangdong "uncovered" the truth. It turned out that Zhou You relied on the woman from his Qi family.

His father and brother were also incompetent. When they moved and fled, they actually abandoned Qi Fengzi, who had the qualifications of a pharmacist.

After Qi Fengzi became a Ganoderma Lucidum pharmacist, all the benefits went to outsiders, and her family didn't get any benefits. Desperate, jealous and resentful, and unable to bear seeing Zhou You's complacency, Qi Fengxiao found the notorious evil martial artist E Renjie and expressed his willingness to offer his clan member Qi Fengzi to him.

There is a saying in the world that a woman should obey her husband after marriage, but there are exceptions. Once the woman's family is too powerful and the husband's family is unable to resist, it will only take a word to recall the woman.

With Qi Fengxiao's power, he certainly couldn't snatch Qi Fengzi away, but he had the family's sense of justice. After all, Qi Fengxiao was the legitimate son of the Gongliang Qi family and the rightful future head of the family.

If the power of E Renjie is added, it would be easy to snatch Qi Fengzi from Zhou You.

Qi Fengxiong even had a dark plan. Besides snatching people away, he also wanted to kill Zhou You's entire family.

This is also the root cause of the tragedy that happened today!

"Did Zhou You hear that?"

"Qi Fengzi is a daughter of my Qi family. You forcibly married her as a concubine without permission. This is against etiquette, so your relationship is invalid."

"I am Qi Fengxiong, the eldest son of the Gongliang Qi family. I have the power of life and death over my family members. Now I order you to hand over Qi Fengzi."

At this point, Qi Fengxiong bowed to E Renjie and said, "I want to present her to the Nine-headed Venerable."

Hearing this, Zhou You interrupted him hastily, "Maybe not. I just heard that he wants to change his name."

"You should call him the Eight-Headed Reverend."

E Renjie was listening with a smile on his face, but his face darkened when he heard this.

Many eyes were focused on his back, and the cloak was no match for them. They could easily see that there were only seven heads left behind him.

Whispers were heard from all directions. It turned out that before returning from his travels, E Renjie had fought with an unknown person and suffered a loss, with a head chopped off on his back.

Yeah, that makes sense. His nickname is Nine-Headed Insect because he has eight other people's heads sewn on his back. Now that one is missing, it's time to change his name.

Suddenly, the atmosphere became much more lively, and other powerful warriors looked at E Renjie with teasing eyes.

"If you still want to live, shut up and hand over Qi Fengzi!"

E Renjie said in a deep voice, "You asked the Golden Immortal Dao to cover up your home, but it will only work temporarily and won't delay for too long."

"I can definitely beat you to death and then search for your family. By then, except for your concubine, everyone else will be useful..."

He sneered as he spoke, and the threatening tone was evident in his words.

Zhou You took a deep breath and held the Black Cloud Spear with both hands, "Stop talking nonsense and take my Ming Feng Spear."

Eight thousand spears attacked like a swarm of bees rising into the sky. The densely packed spear tips gathered into a wide wing to encircle and surround. A hint of cold light was looming like a deadly gust of wind.

The phoenix's cry was so loud and clear that it reached the sky.

In an instant, huge black clouds flooded the Drum Tower like a tide, and crackling light spread everywhere, like a rushing river washing over the rocks.

However, the Drum Tower remained standing without a single brick being broken or a single crack appearing.

After a moment, a huge gap appeared in the black cloud, and E Renjie was seen still standing there, clamping the tip of the gun with one hand, and easily blocking the shot that Zhou You had stabbed with all his energy in front of him.

"Boy, you probably don't understand. The gap between you and me is like the gap between a newborn baby and you."

"No matter how you struggle and resist, you are no match for a single finger of mine. You are doomed to be defeated and killed miserably."

"That's fine, you're just being stubborn, aren't you? I'll chop off your head and sew it onto my back. After you merge with me, all your memories will belong to me, and I won't be afraid of not being able to find Qi Fengzi's whereabouts!"
