Chapter 156 -119: You Should Resign by Yourself
The man in black leapt up forcefully like a flash of lightning, yet his lower leg seemed like a chunk of stone, plummeting straight down.
This was because He Bibiqu had not planned to take his life directly. Otherwise, with his intentional or unintentional calculations, he could have aimed straight for his head and killed him with a single strike.
“Ahh……”
Within mid-air, this Yan State master let out a horrifying scream so fierce that it almost reverberated throughout the entire city.
This was not only because of the pain but also intentional. In the face of his circumstances, he decisively utilized all of his cultivation and poured it into that scream evidently intending to alert those below that something was awry!
I’ve been attacked!
I’m done for.
Whatever you do, don’t show yourselves!
Blood rained from the sky.
After his despairing roar, this Yan State master struggled to turn around, prompting him to roar, “He Bibiqu, how did you find me? How were you able to ambush me?”
Despite being cautious all his life, he was unexpectedly and inexplicably ambushed!
He couldn’t understand.
He Bibiqu’s eyes flashed with a hint of regret and he faintly said, “So it’s you, Brother Wei Tianyan. Long time no see, I did not expect that the chance meeting tonight would bring me such a big fish like you. What a pity, what a pity.”
What he regretted was that upon recognizing the identity of the other party, he already knew that his plan to capture the enemy alive today was bound to fail.
This many years-long old adversary would never allow himself to be taken alive.
The two had battled for their nations their whole lives, having no idea how many times they’ve faced each other. Even though Wei Tianyan always escaped wounded every time, He Bibiqu had never managed to get hold of him either.
Although there was a gap in their cultivations and He Bibiqu could always have the upper hand, when it came to killing, he was always unable to succeed.
This was a clear manifestation of the gap between the two.
Being able to get such results today was mostly due to luck.
He Bibiqu knew clearly that if the attack just now was so successful, one reason was that the Ice and Snow Cold Poison in his body had been completely eradicated, and the other was because the enemy had absolutely no guard against him. Everything came suddenly and unexpectedly!
Wei Tianyan rapidly applied pressure to his severed leg to stop the bleeding. He then landed back onto the big tree, standing on a branch with a single leg, his eyes were bloodshot, staring at He Bibiqu with a deathly gaze and demanding, “Tell me, how did you discover me?”
A flash of white.
Kong Gaohan had already appeared behind Wei Tianyan, clearly intending to cut off his escape route.
With two masters, both of whom possessed skills higher than Wei Tianyan’s, pinning him from both front and back, Wei Tianyan was absolutely trapped, meeting certain death.
Although Wei Tianyan knew that his death was imminent, he remained unperturbed.
In fact, from the moment his leg was severed, he already knew that his life had come to an end, and there was no chance of survival today.
But he couldn’t understand how He Bibiqu had found him while hiding amongst the tree canopy?
If he did not unravel this mystery, Wei Tianyan would not rest in peace.
“That’s exactly what I find most strange.”
He Bibiqu was also filled with confusion; “Since you chose to hide amongst the trees to keep a lookout, why did you ignore the changes in the moonlight’s reflection? You would not deliberately let us find you, but when you sat there, and the moonlight shone down, as long as you observed carefully, it wouldn’t be difficult to spot your presence…”
He Bibiqu really wanted to say that in that moment, the part of your body you exposed was even more conspicuous than the moon in the sky. Do you think we’re blind?
Wei Tianyan snapped angrily, “Nonsense! All my life, when have I ever made such a mistake while stealthily hiding?”
He Bibiqu sighed, “Where the moonlight was falling just now, we truly could see part of your body at a glance… Have you become so complacent recently that you didn’t even properly inspect the terrain where you hide?”
“That’s impossible! It’s absolutely impossible!”
Wei Tianyan shook his head madly, angrily saying, “He Bibiqu, I already know that I’m bound to die today, can’t you even tell me the truth?”
He Bibiqu sighed again, “Brother Wei, we’ve fought against each other all our lives. Although we stand on different grounds, we respect each other. Now that you’re about to depart from this world, why would I cheat you about such a matter?”
“The place where you’re standing, three steps forward is where you were sitting. Have a look for yourself, and everything will become clear.”
He Bibiqu was genuinely speechless at this point. Was there really a need to argue about this?
The moonlight shone on you, and the part of your body exposed couldn’t have been more conspicuous. Yet you blamed me for catching you? Blamed me for discovering you?
Could this guy really be that oblivious?
We Tianyan hopped to the place where he originally hid and looked in the direction. As his eyes landed on the view, he could not help but exclaim, “This…how is this possible? It’s not possible!”
His original hiding place was indeed dense with foliage, but where the moonlight shone there was an extraordinarily conspicuous area.
It was naturally a line that exposed this place.
Coming to the realization of his current position, he found himself right here!
Under the radiance of the moonlight, had he not completely exposed half of his body to the individuals below?
What’s even more ridiculous was that he was positioned on top, with most of his body against the moonlight, and due to the perspective, he had always believed he was wellhidden, without any leaks…
“This, this, this…”
Wei Tianyan’s mouth fell open, his eyes nearly popping out of their sockets.
No wonder He Bibiqu could find him. Sitting here, wasn’t he just offering up his life to He Bibiqu?
When he arrived, how could he not realize this flaw?
It was too obvious.
Wei Tianyan suddenly felt like crying.
He did not shed any tears in the face of death, but he absolutely could not accept such a basic error.
He had been careful and prudent all his life, yet on the verge of death he was plagued by such negligence; at this moment, Wei Tianyan felt remorse!
His face turned purple, and while he was severely blood-drained, he still felt embarrassed up to the brim because of this novice mistake.

Such a disastrous error would make him a laughing stock and negative example after his death, wouldn’t it?
This was too uncomfortable to accept, true hate from the bottom of his heart, a stain lasting for thousands of years!
He Bibiqu gently said, “Brother Wei, given the current situation, even if you fight with me with all your strength, it will be useless and meaningless. Instead, how about you come and stay in the Great Qin for a few years?”
Wei Tianyan laughed loudly and said, “Old He, do you think I, Wei Tianyan, could ever become a prisoner?”
Kong Gaohan was in the back, his words full of pity, “Wei Tianyan, you are indeed a man; if not for this battle, we brothers could put you to rest. Today, do you want to die at our hands? Or do you want to end yourself?”
Wei Tianyan sighed softly, “If I hadn’t broken my leg, I might be able to fight He Bibiqu to both our ends, even in death, he wouldn’t get away easy…But with Lord Kong being present, any fanciful thoughts are but mere illusions, no need to struggle.”
He Bibiqu snorted, wanted to say something else, but swallowed it back, “Brother Wei, farewell. If we meet again in next life, we will be enemies once more.”
Wei Tianyan laughed heartily, his laughter echoing through the sky, and then chanted in a long-singing tone, “Half of my life spent in martial arts and the other half in literature, Half spent in the clouds and half in dust; The emperor’s signal is yet to be seen, already my broken body is sent to the underworld; Staring from beneath the moon, my home in my dreams is at dusk…”
He didn’t finish the verse, and let out a long sigh when he was only two lines away from the end, “He Bibiqu, my death this time is no joke.”
He Bibiqu solemnly said, “Yes, it is not a joke, today’s event is only known to the three of us. I promise.”
Wei Tianyan laughed heartily, and in this last burst of laughter, he suddenly drew his sword from its sheath, placing it horizontally against his neck, and pulled hard.
Blood gushed out.
With a single stroke, he nearly severed his head, leaving only a small part connecting to the body.
This was truly the definition of death.
His body slowly fell backward, about to fall off the giant tree.
He Bibiqu advanced with a step, supporting his body, and spoke softly, “Brother Wei, may your journey to the underworld be smooth. Tomorrow at this time, I will send you to the Soul Returning Platform.”
Kong Gaohan, who was standing aside, was puzzled, “Wei Tianyan had considerable skills. Even if you fully recover, it wouldn’t be possible to defeat him within a short time while remaining unscathed. Why did he fall for your ploy this time?
I said that it wasn’t his fault to comfort him, but was it really not his fault? How could it be such a coincidence?”
He Bibiqu held a bitter smile, “You ask me, who am I supposed to ask? The facts lie before us, does it matter whether we understand it or not?!”
But he was hesitant in his heart, should he mention the secret message from Doctor Feng?
There are not many coincidences in the world. This incident was not a wartime accident but a consequence of a planned plot. However, the one who carried out the plot was not convenient to mention!
Suddenly, a soft voice came into He Bibiqu’s ears, “Lord He, pay attention to the branches ten feet below; the important person from Yan State should be hiding in the backyard of the prefect’s mansion, but they have probably evacuated by now…”
He Bibiqu immediately looked down, finding a white object. He quickly swooped down and picked it up.
Noticing a piece of flesh next to it, he looked closely and found that it was a complete palm.
The lines were clear.
He couldn’t help but feel a shiver down his spine: Was the entire palm scooped out? And done so cleanly?
This technique…is too professional.
Looking at the white object again, it turned out to be a half-sealed letter. After carefully inspecting the contents of the letter, He Bibiqu’s face drastically changed.
“This is the handwriting of Black Feather’s strategist, Bai Yihwen? Could it be that Bai Yihwen is hiding in Yuezhou at this moment? Indeed, other than Bai Yihwen, who else could singlehandedly manipulate the chaos to this extent…”
Without hesitation, he tucked the half-sealed letter into his bosom and said, “Big Brother Kong, help me!”
Before his words fell, he already took off like a shot, towards the backyard of the prefect’s mansion.
Kong Gaohan followed without asking why.
