The backlash from the Three Strokes of Avici was too great. With Chu Xiu's current strength, he could basically use the first two strokes to his heart's content. However, the last stroke would still cause a considerable backlash.
The powerful demonic saber collided with Cheng Buhui's heavy sword, and a shocking power instantly erupted. The Earth Energy fluctuations even made weaker martial artists like Wu Tiandong and Liu Qingqing shudder with fear.
Under the collision, the ground beneath Chu Xiu and Cheng Buhui's feet was filled with holes and cracks from the impact of the Earth Energy, but neither of them retreated.
Looking at Chu Xiu, Cheng Buhui's eyes revealed a hint of seriousness. Chu Xiu's strength was far greater than he had imagined!
His martial path focused on strength, and those of the same level who could withstand a blow from his heavy sword could be counted on one hand.
However, not only had Chu Xiu managed to block it, but he could even rely on pure strength to clash head-on with him. This was already shocking enough.
Moreover, looking at Chu Xiu's martial path, it was obvious that he did not rely on brute force!
Cheng Buhui raised his heavy sword, and after a series of slashes, the powerful might made people shudder with fear. However, Chu Xiu relied on the strength of his Three Strokes of Avici and the powerful explosive power of the Fast and Slow Nine Words Formula to temporarily fight evenly with Cheng Buhui.
Dong Xiangyi and the others frowned and simultaneously attacked Chu Xiu. Fighting five against one, although they managed to suppress Chu Xiu in an instant, the more they fought, the more they felt that something was wrong.
Originally, the five of them had joined forces to roam the Pugilistic World, and their tacit understanding between each other was very high. However, now their attacks were very awkward.
Cheng Buhui had just sent Chu Xiu flying with his sword, and Dong Xiangyi and Lv Tong, who were the most lethal, should have joined forces to receive Cheng Buhui's attack. However, the two of them had held back when they attacked, guarding against each other, and even using their mental power to guard against Wu Tiandong and Liu Qingqing behind them.
Because of this, the rhythm of the two of them was not right. It was not even as good as when the two of them had attacked Chu Xiu in the inn. Now, the two of them had been caught by Chu Xiu, and he directly used the Wisdom Fist Seal to seal the space. The Devil Blade of Avici blasted out continuously, forcing the two of them to retreat.
Originally, Cheng Buhui could be evenly matched with Chu Xiu in a one-on-one fight. However, now that the five of them had attacked together, they were forced into a corner by Chu Xiu. The reason was that suspicion and cracks had actually appeared among the five of them!
To be precise, four of them did not trust each other. Cheng Buhui, on the other hand, had the courage to trust the others. He believed that his sworn brother would not secretly attack him, but the others did not have the courage to believe that there was no one who would seek refuge with Chu Xiu.
After all, the things that Chu Xiu had said to them had already shaken their state of mind. Now that Chu Xiu had said these words, no one could be sure whether anyone had agreed to be a mole for Chu Xiu.
Therefore, if someone really became a mole for Chu Xiu and betrayed them by launching a sneak attack while they were fighting fiercely, they would almost certainly die!
No one was willing to gamble with their lives. Dong Xiangyi and the other three were the same.
The five of them worked together to besiege Chu Xiu, but the more they fought, the more aggrieved they became. The more they fought, the more their hands and feet were tied. This made Cheng Buhui frown immediately.
He shouted in a low voice, "The four of you, take Young Master Qiu and escape first. I'll cover the rear!"
Dong Xiangyi and the other three looked at each other. They had no choice but to take Qiu Dongmao and leave.
Chu Xiu forced Cheng Buhui to retreat with a sinister slash filled with demonic Qi. He smiled and said, "Cheng Buhui, aren't you afraid that the mole I left among the four of them will attack and kill Qiu Dongmao?"
Alone and with his sword, Cheng Buhui exploded with even more power than before. He even had a trace of an aura that was strong enough to fight against Chu Xiu head-on.
"Mole? I don't believe it! Among my sworn brothers, no one is a mole, and no one will betray our former beliefs! "
Cheng Buhui's tone was firm. He was not affected by Chu Xiu at all. The 'Light Sword' in his hand was extremely steady. No matter how strong Chu Xiu's blade aura and demonic Qi were, they could not break through his defense.
Chu Xiu's face revealed a trace of mockery. "Great Hero Cheng, you're really magnanimous. You're right to believe them. Even in the hearts of the other four, only you, Great Hero Cheng, can be trusted unconditionally. Unfortunately, the four of them can't trust each other to the same degree as you!"
Cheng Buhui's expression changed. To him, he could trust the others, and the others could trust him. But what about the others? Even Cheng Buhui did not dare to guarantee this with a hundred percent certainty.
However, Cheng Buhui did not have the time to think so much. He held the Light Sword in his hand, pushed all the distracting thoughts to the back of his mind, and fought with Chu Xiu with all his might.
Chu Xiu was not in a hurry. The best part was yet to come. The secrets and grudges of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong were enough to make them break up completely. At this time, there was no need for Chu Xiu to fight them head-on. He only needed to add fuel to the fire.
On the other side, Dong Xiangyi and the others also left with Qiu Dongmao.
However, after running for more than ten miles, Lü Tong stopped and said, "You guys leave first. I'll go help Big Brother."
To Lü Tong, the reputation of the Five Heroes of Jiangdong was not important. Even Qiu Dongmao was not important. Only Cheng Buhui was important.
Although Cheng Buhui could actually fight evenly with Chu Xiu alone, Lü Tong was still worried about Cheng Buhui and wanted to go back to help him.
However, at this time, Wu Tiandong frowned and said, "Third Brother, Big Brother is completely capable of stopping Chu Xiu. Why are you going back? Do you have an ulterior motive? "
Wu Tiandong's words were explosive. He almost said that Lü Tong was a mole, and that he was going back to kill him instead of helping Cheng Buhui.
If it was in the past, Wu Tiandong would never say such a thing. However, when he thought about how Lü Tong had a relationship with Liu Qingqing, and that Liu Qingqing was the one who initiated it, Wu Tiandong felt as if he had eaten a fly. He could not help but feel a trace of disgust towards Lü Tong.
Moreover, Lü Tong did not have a good relationship with the others. After all, in his heart, only Cheng Buhui was the most important. Even the so-called Five Heroes of Jiangdong were not important.
Therefore, Lü Tong was cold most of the time. He did not speak much, and he was not very close to the others. Under normal circumstances, this kind of thing would not show. However, at this time, it was as if these things had been suppressed for a long time, and they suddenly erupted.
Lü Tong, who was about to leave, turned around and looked straight at Wu Tiandong. He said coldly, "What do you mean? Are you saying that I'm a mole? "
Wu Tiandong snorted coldly. "I didn't say that. You said it yourself."
A murderous look appeared in Lü Tong's eyes. Cheng Buhui was his reverse scale. Other people could say anything about him, but they could never question his loyalty to Cheng Buhui!
A blood-red blade appeared in Lü Tong's hand, and the Blood Avoidance Sword was already placed on Wu Tiandong's neck. He said coldly, "If you talk nonsense again, I'll kill you!"
Liu Qingqing hurriedly said, "Third Brother! What are you doing? Put down the sword! "
Dong Xiangyi, who was standing aside, quickly said, "Third Brother! Stop fooling around. This is not the time to fool around! "
Lü Tong said coldly, "I'm not fooling around. You should know what exactly is going on. What did Chu Xiu get on you that made you choose to be his mole?
Dong Xiangyi, if it weren't for Big Brother, how could a down-and-out childe like you have such a reputation now? But you're always provoking Big Brother's authority. If it weren't for your age, and Big Brother asked the five of us to become sworn brothers, do you think you're qualified to be my second brother?
Don't think that I don't know what you're scheming. You're the most likely person to be the mole! "
Dong Xiangyi's expression changed. He snorted coldly and said, "Third Brother, are you crazy? Why are you biting me? If I were a mole, I would have taken action just now. How could I have joined forces with you to besiege Chu Xiu? "
Lü Tong ignored him. Instead, he stared at Wu Tiandong and Liu Qingqing and said coldly, "And you two, if it weren't for Big Brother, one of you would just be a fledgling rogue cultivator in Jianghu, and the other would have been sacrificed to marry a good-for-nothing. Now you've betrayed Big Brother and are ungrateful. Even if Big Brother forgives you, my sword will not spare you! "
There was no fear on Wu Tiandong's face. Instead, he took a step forward and said coldly, "Kill me if you can! Now you're talking as if you're a good person. Why didn't you stand up and refute Chu Xiu's words just now? Do you dare to say that you've never done anything to disappoint Big Brother and everyone else? "
Although Wu Tiandong didn't know what Chu Xiu had said to him, it seemed that everyone had their own secrets that they didn't want to reveal. Everyone was the same. How noble could Wu Tiandong be? What right did he have to criticize others?
At the moment, the four of them had their own thoughts. It could be said that the brotherly relationship in the past had been completely torn apart. They were all full of contradictions and distrust.
Moreover, Cheng Buhui was not here at the moment, so no one could suppress them at all.
Qiu Dongmao, who was behind them, wanted to dissuade them, but unfortunately, he didn't say anything in the end.
Qiu Dongmao was a man with good judgment. At the moment, the Five Heroes of River East were full of hostility. They had simply changed from brothers to enemies. What could he do? If he spoke rashly, it was very likely that even he would be implicated.
Qiu Dongmao could also see that among the Five Heroes of River East, only Cheng Buhui really wanted to repay his kindness and send him to Black Glaze City. But now that Cheng Buhui was not here, it was better for him to keep a low profile for the time being.
