World’s End: My Keyword is One More Than Others

Chapter 52: Feng Qi's ear roots

Outside Luyang City.

Under a pavilion by the side of the main road, Tong Shihong looked at the bustling Peacekeeping Gang not far away, silent.

Qiu Muqian stood beside him, also silent.

After listening to the story of the old man cutting down the Glutton with a sword, the two of them asked more than a dozen people to verify it, and the results were the same. Since then, they have been in this state.

"Uncle Tong, do you not have confidence in dealing with Feng Qi?" Qiu Muqian couldn't help but ask.

Tong Shihong's brow unconsciously twitched a few times and said, "Everyone has weaknesses, even the Heavenly Demon. Looking at all of Feng Qi's battles, he always launches sneak attacks from behind. From this, it can be inferred that his weakness is his front. As long as we don't give him a chance and attack from behind, we can still defeat him.

However, to get rid of Feng Qi, we must first kill Wang San. His voice can disturb people's minds, and in battle, if one's mind is disturbed, it is inevitable to suffer a great defeat. I don't know what supernatural power Feng Zhong has. Muqian, the Heavenly Demon is strange. We need to carefully consider this matter and not act too hastily..."

Listening to this long speech, Qiu Muqian said, "Uncle Tong, if Feng Qi always attacks from behind, can't we protect our vulnerable spots with a heart-guarding mirror? It has only been three days since I left, and Feng Qi has already grown to this level. If he continues to grow, who in the martial world can control him? It seems that he clearly wants to dominate the entire martial world."

"Muqian, I naturally understand what you mean, but in a battle between masters, a slight difference can lead to a great loss. If you have a metal plate on your back, all your movements will be distorted. How can you use techniques?" Tong Shihong said.

Qiu Muqian muttered in her heart, "Uncle Tong, what should we do next?"

Tong Shihong said, "Feng Qi is the root of chaos. To completely get rid of him, we must ensure that there are no hidden dangers. Muqian, you stay in Luyang City and find a way to contact the Iron Palm Gang's old members. Continue to gather information about Feng Qi and pay attention to his movements. I will go to Huashan and ask the Sect Leader for help. We will divide and conquer to ensure that we eliminate the root."

Qiu Muqian widened her eyes and said, "Uncle Tong..."

"It's decided." Tong Shihong didn't give her a chance to speak and turned to leave.

Suddenly.

A loud voice came from the direction of the Peacekeeping Gang, "Master Tong, since you're here, it's unreasonable not to even enter the door. Feng Qi has long admired Master Tong's name. If this matter spreads, people will say that Feng Qi doesn't understand etiquette."

The voice got closer and closer.

By the time the last word was spoken, Du Ge was less than a hundred meters away from the two of them.

Du Ge, who had maintained the safety, order, and justice of hundreds of thousands of people in Luyang City...

Du Ge didn't even know how high his attributes were. Within a radius of two miles centered around him, nothing could escape his ears.

Tong Shihong and Qiu Muqian were discussing countermeasures outside the Peacekeeping Gang, almost speaking right next to his ears. How could he let his prey escape? He immediately chased after them.

Through various means, Tong Shihong judged that Feng Qi's strength was probably not weaker than his own, but when he saw Feng Qi's speed, it was not just not weaker, but far superior to his own!

His face changed immediately.

"Feng Qi?" Qiu Muqian stood still, looking at Feng Qi who suddenly left. She couldn't understand how they were exposed. They had just had a meal in Luyang City and listened to a story. How could the news spread so quickly!

"Miss, since Master Tong is here, it's considered a success. Go back to the Peacekeeping Gang and see the old man. He has missed you after all these days." Du Ge looked at Qiu Muqian and casually shifted the blame onto her.

Qiu Muqian's face changed drastically and she hurriedly explained, "Uncle Tong, don't listen to him. I didn't..."

"I know." Tong Shihong interrupted her and looked at Du Ge, as if facing a formidable enemy. "Feng Qi, what do you want?"

"Feng Qi wants to invite Master Tong to join the Peacekeeping Alliance and jointly uphold the righteousness of the martial world." Du Ge clasped his fists and said.

"What if I refuse?" Tong Shihong said.

"Then Feng Qi will defeat Master Tong and merge the Divine Fist Sect into the Peacekeeping Gang, together upholding the righteousness of the martial world." Du Ge smiled indifferently.

"Arrogant." Tong Shihong coldly snorted.

"Master Tong, it's not that Feng Qi is arrogant, but that there is no other choice!" Du Ge said, "Just now, I heard Master Tong say that Feng Qi is the root of chaos. I can't agree with that. After all, everything I have done is for the entire martial world..."

"You heard it?" Tong Shihong's face was shocked. He glanced in the direction of the Peacekeeping Gang, "How is that possible?"

"Why is it impossible? I'm not a human after all." Du Ge looked at Tong Shihong and smiled, "The two of you were discussing countermeasures right under my nose. How could I not hear?"

Who knew your ears could hear from two miles away?

Are you even human?

Fine!

You are the Heavenly Demon, not human!Tong Shihong's face turned even more unsightly. If he had been seventy percent confident of getting out of this unscathed earlier, now he was left with less than thirty percent...

At this moment, he regretted so much that his intestines turned green. He shouldn't have been so damn curious. Why did he have to personally capture the Heavenly Demon? When he heard about this unfamiliar thing, he should have waited and observed. He had been cautious all his life, but he didn't expect to stumble here.

"I, who is wholeheartedly maintaining the world, am considered by Master Tong as the root of chaos. In the martial arts world, there are hundreds of people like me. When they grow up, will this world still be able to hold them? Master Tong, in a small Luyang City, four Heavenly Demons have already appeared. The Divine Fist Sect is one of the Three Gates and Five Sects. Does Master Tong think that there might be a Heavenly Demon hidden in his sect?"

Du Ge glanced at Tong Shihong and said, "Considering the time, the news about Luyang City should have spread. Do you think the Heavenly Demon in the Divine Fist Sect, upon learning what I've done, will act out of desperation and accelerate their plan to seize the Divine Fist Sect?"

Tong Shihong's heart jolted, but he feigned calmness: "What's the difference between you seizing it and them seizing it? You're all the same."

"My attribute is peacekeeping. As long as the world is stable, I am harmless. The Divine Fist Sect is still yours. But I can't say for sure about the attributes of other Heavenly Demons, like Glutton. When pushed to the edge, it really eats people." Du Ge said, "Master Tong, use my hand to eliminate them, then you can concentrate your forces to eliminate me. In the end, the whole world will return to peace. Such a simple truth, why can't you understand?"

"..." Tong Shihong was stunned, "Eliminate you?"

"Yes! My attribute is peacekeeping. Heavenly Demons do not belong to this world. Our existence will ultimately disrupt the operation of the entire world. I am also a Heavenly Demon, so in the end, eliminating myself to restore the order of the entire world is the true fulfillment of merit." Du Ge looked at the stunned Tong Shihong, and said seriously, "But before that, no one can stop my determination to maintain the world. Otherwise, I will kill gods if they block me, and kill Buddhas if they block me."

Are you insane?!

With your ghostly appearance, who would believe that you would eliminate yourself in the end?

Tong Shihong's eyes twitched violently a few times. He watched Wang San and Feng Zhong walk out of the Peacekeeping Gang, weighed the pros and cons, and looked at Du Ge: "Gang Leader Feng, let's have a fair fight. If you win, my Divine Fist Sect will join the Peacekeeping Alliance. If you lose, let me leave. I will handle the matters of my sect myself. How about it?"
