CHAPTER 951: CHAPTER 754: XIONG XIONG SHUANG DAO AND THE GENEROUS VILLAGE CHIEF

Splash splash——

Splash splash——

The river crashes against the rocky shore, sending up spray and waves.

Another wave crashes, splashing more fine waves onto the shore.

A dark figure floats stiffly like a log in the turbulent waters and storms, quickly drifting downstream, continuously moving downwards, until it reaches a treacherous section of the river filled with rocks, where it crashes onto the dangerous rocks and is washed ashore by the river.

The rain beats "patter patter" on his cold, hard, and bloodless face. His once shiny and black long hair is now tangled messily like water weeds across his face and neck.

If those in the Martial World, both righteous and evil, were to see him, they probably wouldn’t believe that this wretched figure, almost dead, is actually the notorious Demon Master Pang Ban, the successor of the Demon Sect’s Meng Chixing, standing equal to Supreme Master Ling Donglai and Hero Zhuan Ying.

However, he is indeed not dead yet, having entered the unique "Fetal Breathing" Realm exclusive to the Demon Embryo, where his nose and mouth cease breathing, but his heart still beats weakly.

If one could see through the gruesome wound on his chest, swollen and soaked by the river water, they might faintly detect the tiny rise and fall of his chest and spot the still-beating heart within his flesh.

The injury is so severe it seems as if he had been chopped in the chest and abdomen with a large butcher’s knife, the cut almost gutting him, even slicing through the steel-like demon body chest bone.

The only fortunate thing is that the wound looks as if it had been cauterized, with the flesh already charred black, preventing a massive blood loss. Otherwise, not even gods could save him.

It is unknown how much time passed when the storm and rain subsided, and human voices could be vaguely heard.

"Damn! Fengfei, we’ve escaped far enough here, those damned soldiers shouldn’t catch up with us now. Let’s rest, take a break first."

"Looks like we’ve shaken them off. Damn it, we only swiped a little Silver from the county treasury, it’s not like we stole the county magistrate’s wife, and yet we were chased so far! Almost wore me out."

"Fengfei, you’re right, we should’ve stolen the county magistrate’s wife just now, that would’ve been worth it."

Two voices conversed, interspersed with the pleasing jingle of Silver and the greedy laughter of both as they drew closer.

Suddenly, the two exclaimed in shock, evidently having discovered the entirety of Pang Ban, lying on the dangerous rocks, radiating an aura of extreme danger with a dark glow, both staring wide-eyed at the little remaining blood bar above Pang Ban’s head, so excited that they dropped the Silver in their hands onto their feet.

"Ah ah——"

The two cried out in pain and then looked at each other in excitement.

"Are you kidding? Has luck smiled upon the Xiong Xiong Shuang Dao brothers? A nearly dead, and obviously expert, NPC fell from the sky?"

"Don’t get too excited just yet; it might be a pauper. Let’s go over and confirm his identity."

"Hey wait, wait, somehow this person seems familiar, this attire looks like...looks like..."

The two suddenly shivered and simultaneously blurted out four words — "Demon Master Pang Ban!?"

The two, apprehensive yet excited, hurriedly opened their panel and entered the Jianghu Forum interface and immediately saw the trending post "Black Wind Village Chief Defeats Demon Master Pang Ban."

Upon opening the video, they saw a scene of two almost indistinct figures fighting swiftly on the river amidst the storm.

"Damn! What’s with this video quality? Was the guy filming this a professional censor?"

"A perfectly epic battle between two Great Demon Kings messed up by this blurry quality. It looks like some harmonious film."

"This is probably the clearest version among all recorded videos, otherwise, it wouldn’t be popular."

The two watched uninterested, but finally, at the end, saw the magnificent and overwhelming Flame Saber Qi engulfing Pang Ban, instantly understanding why the dignified Demon Master Pang Ban ended up in such a miserable state.

"Oh my! The Black Wind Village Chief is truly mighty and magnificent, virtually our role model, deserving of being the boss in our field."

"Fengfei, we are Flying Thieves, and he is a bandit."

"You don’t understand, Flying Thieves and bandits are both thieves. In ancient texts, someone who called himself Laozi even said, ’A thief can steal a flying thief.’ You see, this means Flying Thieves and bandits are essentially one family."

"There’s such a saying in ancient texts? Fengfei, still, you’re cultured, having read so many ancient books. Envious!"

"Otherwise, why would I be called Fengfei, and you Puten? In the Xiong Xiong Shuang Dao, you’re Xiong, I’m Xiong, and you, as the big bear, should listen to me.

From now on, the Black Wind Village Chief is our brother, with no blood ties, no money transactions, having never met, but with our words, it is so."

"You’re right, so now..."

The two exchanged a glance.

Whoosh——

Swish——

Together they executed a movement technique, causing "pa pa" explosions on the water surface, then simultaneously landing on the dangerous rocks, directing their gaze at the motionless, pallid-as-a-corpse Pang Ban.

"Now do we kill him, then take his head to find the Black Wind Village Chief, or just grab some stuff and leave?"

"I initially thought of killing him. If we could kill Demon Master Pang Ban, our brothers could gain immediate fame and massive reputation in the martial world, but the problem is, once the news gets out, we would surely be hunted by the Demon Palace, as Pang Ban’s apprentices Leng Yan and Fang Yeyu are still alive."

"You’re right; I didn’t consider this thoroughly. Unless after siding with the Black Wind Village Chief, he can carry us along on his big bird high every day, sooner or later we’d be hunted to death by the Demon Palace, so...save Pang Ban?"
