### Chapter One: The Rise of the World ###

Tianyu continent 7840 years nine countries war broke out, after more than 10 years four countries were destroyed, the remaining five countries are also greatly wounded, and no longer able to fight. The five countries finally reached a consensus and signed a non-aggression agreement.

The mainland is in a state of depression.

More than twenty years had passed since the Nine Countries War in 7878, and the remaining five countries, namely Qingfeng, Baymoon, Hantang, Wushuang and Xinming, had recovered greatly after years of recuperation. The continent has been revitalized with a prosperous scene of song and dance.

The Valley of Eternal Life was located within the Han Tang Empire, and the valley was always lush and full of life throughout the year.

Here is an ancient legend, according to legend, in the ancient times of the Valley of Eternal Life lived in a cover of the Devil, this gentleman a god of martial arts across the continent, proud of the contemporary era, difficult to meet the resistance hand.

For some reason, the Demon Monarch angered the Immortals, and a great battle between Immortals and Demons began in the valley. The Demon King is worthy of being a genius, actually cultivating his mortal body to the realm of immortals and demons, and his strength is so strong that the immortals find it difficult to fight.

The battle lasted for three days and three nights, and no one knew what the result was. Long after the residents outside the valley dared to come in to watch, only to see the devastation of the valley, the ground is full of broken branches and leaves, animal bones piled up like a mountain. Since then, for decades, there was no grass in the valley, not the slightest bit of vitality, a dead silence.

It was only after about another hundred years that the valley slowly regained its vitality, recreating the lush, vibrant scene that existed in the Valley of Eternal Life throughout the year.

Even so, no one was willing to take a step into the valley anymore.

These are, after all, just old legends that fade into oblivion over time.

In 7878 the Valley of the Everlasting Life welcomed its rare visitor, a family of four like it, into the valley to live.

One night three months later, a young woman in the Valley of Eternal Life was about to give birth, and moans of pain came out from time to time from one of the huts, interspersed with sounds of encouragement and comfort from the old woman.

A young man was walking around outside the house, his face was all anxious. And an old man in his fifties was quietly sitting on a chair in the courtyard, his demeanor indescribably leisurely.

Yan Zhi don't walk around, don't worry, it's fine. When your mother gave birth to you, I wasn't as flustered as you. At that time, I set up a table of wine and food in the courtyard, poured myself a drink, and 'toasted to the good news'.

The young man stopped and laughed, No wonder Mother always counts you out whenever she brings up the past.

It was at this moment that a loud cry broke through the quiet of the night sky.

It's born, it's born. The young man almost jumped for joy and turned to run into the house.

But at this moment, a strange phenomenon occurred, from the hut issued a dazzling blood-red light, blood-red light instantly filled the entire Everlasting Valley. Then the dazzling blood-red light shot up into the sky, eclipsing the light of the stars and the moon.

The young man was stunned, and the old man stood up abruptly.

At the same time dozens of martial artists on the continent who were pursuing the extreme realm of martial arts simultaneously had their hearts sensed and looked in the direction of the Eternal Life Valley in unison.

A white-haired old man sat on the ground on the Peak of Heaven Insertion in the Wushuang Empire, and behind him stood a handsome young man.

The young man said, Master, what is that rushing blood light?

The old man's eyes were glowing with divine light, looking at the rushing blood light ten thousand miles away and lamenting, It's unyielding, it's insubordinate.

An old woman in the Moonlight Palace of the Qingfeng Empire muttered, The killing has come.

A whisper came from within the Cloud and Smoke Pavilion of the Xinming Empire: A history of annihilation.

An old man within the Moon Worshipping Empire said, Breaking the Sky and Flying Immortal.

Someone from the Han Tang Empire said, Immortal and Demon War.

At the top of Cloud Mountain, someone said, Immortality.

............

............

............

The rushing blood-red light lasted for half a minute before suddenly disappearing instantly without a trace.

The young man woke up as if from a dream and rushed into the hut with a shout.

He only saw his delicate and beautiful wife lying tiredly on the bed, while his mother ---- old lady was teasing a little pink and jade baby, which did not cry or make noise, and a pair of big black and bright eyes were looking at him without blinking.

The young man called out excitedly, Mother, is this my child?

Shhh, keep your voice down. Don't wake Ting Ting up, she just gave birth and is still very weak.

The young man tensed, Is Tina okay.

The old madam laughed, It's fine, you're already a father and you're still so fussy. Don't come and see your precious son yet, look, how cute.

The old lady's face was filled with a doting look.

The young man reached for the tiny baby and couldn't help but give the infant a kiss on his little pink face.

Mother, just now didn't you see a rush of blood-red light?

The old lady said, How dare you talk in your sleep, where is the blood-red light, still not quick to carry the little baby out, let your father take a look.

The young man walked out of the house with the baby in his arms and called out happily, Father, it's a boy.

The old man said, Quickly, carry him to the house of your mother and I. The night is damp, so be careful of hurting him.

The young man and the old man went into another hut, and soon the old lady came in.

The little baby's big black and bright eyes bobbed around, constantly sizing up the three.

The old madam said, You see, how lovely this child is, just born and recognizing people, and not crying or fussing.

The old man's face was grave, Wifey, when the little baby was born just now, did nothing strange happen?

What's wrong with you two men today, that you're saying such inexplicable things.

The old man said, You don't know, something strange just happened.

Then the old man detailed what had just happened.

The old lady was dumbfounded by what she heard, and only after a long time did she open her mouth to say, Just now, nothing really happened in the house, and there was no red light to be seen at all.

The old man said, I can't care about that much for now, it's a good thing that their mother and child are safe.

It was at this point that the young man suddenly exclaimed, Ah, there's blood on the little baby's hands.

The two old couple hurriedly watched, only to see the little baby's hands clenched into small fist shapes, with the slightest trace of blood between the fingers. The old man hurriedly opened the little baby's small fists. Only to see two small palms each with a word in blood. The left hand was Defeat and the right hand was Heaven.

The old man muttered, With the left hand 'Defeat' and the right hand 'Heaven', the name is self-defined as 'Defeat Heaven'. Enough of a spirit, enough of an arrogance. What kind of god are you, little baby, that you were actually born with condensed blood in your hand.

Dad, what are you talking about?

It's nothing, wifey you and Yan Zhi hurry up and pack up, we'll leave this place overnight.

Old man are you crazy? Tingting has just given birth and the child is so small, how can she stand the labor of the journey.

Mother, father is right, we must leave immediately. The apparition that happened just now will surely draw the attention of various forces, and soon there will be a large number of people coming here to take a look. Our lives will not be peaceful if we continue to live here.

The old lady said, Well, I'll go pack.

...... Defeat the sky ...... Born with condensed blood in hand ...... Battle Spirit Against the Sky ...... Battle Spirit Against the Sky ......

The old man stood alone in the courtyard looking up at the sky, muttering something almost inaudible.

The following day, the Everlasting Valley returned to its former tranquility. However, before three days had passed, it welcomed a large number of visitors again.

##Chapter 2: Such a Young Man###

Dugu Wutian was born in a declining martial arts family, and his ancestors had a glorious history, and was once the myth of the continent's martial arts forest. A large-scale invasion of foreign enemies, as strong as the world's oldest ancestor Dugu Wentian also hate death, the family almost ashes. Who was the enemy? There is no way to prove, the truth has long been annihilated in history.

Dugu's father was a decent martial arts small man, there are no enemies, in fact, there are not many friends. Dugu this once extremely brilliant family has long been forgotten by the martial arts world, even in the eyes of the people of Changfeng Town can only be considered a big family.

The family's martial arts have not been lost, and a piece of black jade stone inherited from the old ancestor's hand is both a patriarchal token and a family secret. The Black Jade Stone was undoubtedly a priceless treasure in the eyes of the first few generations of the family, as it was not only a symbol of power but also a hope for the family to return to glory. However, in the eyes of recent generations, the Black Jade Stone is no different from ordinary jade. Dugu Lutian's grandfather when he was down and out once took it as a wine, his father took it as a whetstone, in the eyes of Dugu Lutian it is and the street gangsters to fight for supremacy of the necessary weapons ????? Slab Brick.

Among the black jade stone was a spiritual imprint of the Old Ancestor: Learn all the third-rate martial arts of the continent, and you will eventually achieve great success.

For this passage, the family's predecessors traveled all over the world and learned all the third-rate martial arts, which eventually led to the family's decline as such.

Technically speaking, the Dokurokas were no longer martial artists.

Changfeng Town was famous in the Han Tang Empire, not because the town had any specialties or because of the town's prosperity, because there was a martial arts family living here. A stomping foot, let the Han Tang Empire martial arts forest trembled on three trembling martial arts family ????. Situ family.

For nearly a hundred years, the Situ Family has been full of experts, and every time the older generation of experts in the family has not yet retired, the young experts in the family have already shown their greatness.

The declining Dugu Family and Situ Family were on opposite sides of the street, and the two families were very close and often interacted with each other. The contemporary head of the Situ Family, Situ Jingyun, and the master of the Dugu Family, Dugu Yanzhi, were known as brothers, and the older generation of the Situ Family were also close friends with Dugu Yanzhi's father, Dugu Feiyu.

Ever since the Situ Family moved here a hundred years ago, no bandits have come to disturb the town. Even at the time of the Nine Kingdoms War, the defeated bandits didn't dare to make a move on the town, and quietly left after a day of confrontation with the Situ family. The Situ family became the guardian of the town.

Dugu Yanzhi of the Dugu family is very good at doing business, and has opened a large number of rice stores, cloth stores, and taverns. He had a lot of money but was not greedy, and often gave alms to the poor and needy people in the town who were in dire straits. The Dugu family became a great benefactor in the eyes of the townspeople.

The most famous person in the town was not Situ Jingyun, nor was it Dugu Yanzhi, but Dugu Yanzhi's eight year old son, Dugu Wutian.

Although Dugu Lutian didn't love practicing martial arts, he especially loved to fight. Almost everyone his age in the town had been beaten up by him, even those sons of the Situ Family who had just started practicing martial arts were not spared.

Every day when the kids in town get together, the first thing they say when they meet is, Did you get hit by him today?

The parents who went to Dokgoo's house to complain almost almost stepped off the threshold of his house, for which Dokgoo Yanzhi made reparations and apologized to others, and was even more persuasive to Dokgoo and his family, plus a big stick to serve.

But he still did what he wanted, and at this point even Dugu Feiyu, who usually doted on him, had to stand out and blow his beard at him.

In response to this, Dokurotan said, Grandpa, your beard can actually move without wind, and your eyes are big and bright when your beard moves, it's so cute.

Dugu Feiyu was so angry that his beard was almost up to his forehead, but he only had such a grandson and couldn't bear to hit him. He had no choice but to say to him, If you bully children again, I will lock you up at home and not let you go out.

Since then, Dokurotsuki really stopped looking for trouble from people his own age. He locked his gaze on sixteen or seventeen year old punks.

Although he was only eight years old, this son was born with extraordinary talent, and the first time he fought with a gangster he beat him to a bloody pulp. Since then, he carries the family heirloom black jade stone in his waist all day long, and specializes in looking for fights with nearby gangsters, who avoid him if they can, and run away if they can't.

After that, Dokuroku Lutian couldn't find an opponent to fight in the town, and once sneaked into the forest outside the town by himself, looking for trouble from wild beasts. That day, the people living in the town heard the angry howls of the wild beasts, scaring the hunters in the town who didn't dare to go out to hunt. In the evening, Doktor returned to the town dragging a dead tiger covered in blood. His mother and grandmother were horrified and sent people to follow him at all times in the following days. Fearing that he would rise up one day and go after some boar or lion again.

For a while Dokurotsuki's great name spread through the town.

Situ Jingyun, the head of the Situ Family, took a keen interest in him, believing him to be a wizard in learning martial arts, and had the intention of taking him as his disciple.

In response, Doktor's little head shook like a rattle drum, Don't learn, too lazy to learn.

Situ Jingyun had to lament, The Situ Family's family head took the initiative to accept a disciple and was actually rejected. It must be big news when it spreads to the martial arts.

Good fighting and do not love to practice martial arts Dugu Lutian veritably became the children's king of Changfeng Town, wherever he went, always followed by a large group of children behind him. Even Situ Jingyun's several sons have become his followers, and Situ Jingyun's six-year-old little daughter Situ Mingyue is even more glued to him, and has become his most faithful follower.

The six year old Situ Mingyue was pink and jade, smart and cute. A pair of bright big eyes were full of admiration for Dugu Lutian, shouting all day long, Brother Lutian, I want to marry you when I grow up.

Okay, I'll marry you when you grow up, don't renege on your debt. This was Dugu Lutian's reply to Situ Mingyue.

Two children, childhood sweethearts.

Since then wherever Dokurotsu went, Situ Mingyue followed.

The years have flown by in a flash, eight years.

##Chapter 3: The Fancy Years###

The years are like water, like water, a short eight years flew by.

This year Dugu Lutian was sixteen years old, and the once genius fighting child and king of gangsters had already turned into a handsome young man. Sword eyebrows and tiger eyes, straight nose and square mouth, especially a pair of eyes as bright as the cold stars of the night. With a majestic body that was half a head taller than normal people, it was hard for people to imagine that this was a sixteen year old teenager.

Dugu Lutian stood by the forest outside the town, he was waiting for a girl, a girl he loved deeply, the girl who shouted all day long to marry him as a child - Situ Mingyue.

Not long after, a green cloud floated in the distance, and a graceful green figure blinked to his eyes.

Brother Defiant.

A stunningly beautiful young girl threw herself lengthwise into the arms of Dokurotan.

The little girl who was once carved out of powder and jade has now become a young girl who is as beautiful as a flower in a pavilion. The young girl has bright eyes and white teeth, and her skin is crystal clear like jade, as beautiful as a fairy.

Brother Defiant I miss you so much, but father wouldn't let me come out, he had to make me practice the Bright Moon Heart Sutra to the seventh level, and after staying up for a month I finally did it. Do you miss me?

Doktor laughed, Think, if you don't come out, I'm going to go find your old man to fight for my life.

Situ Mingyue pouted, Don't say anything bad about my father, my father is also for my own good.

How dare I say bad things about my future father-in-law, in case he finds out and hides his precious daughter, who am I going to marry. Duchess laughed.

Situ Mingyue's face was filled with happiness as she broke out of Dugu Lutian's arms and said, Brother Lutian, let's take a walk in the forest.

Yeah.

At this time is the early summer season, the forest is lush and green, and the birdsong and occasional frightened small animals add infinite vitality to the forest. This forest is not only the hunter's favorite, but also the treasure land of Dugu Lutian and his friends who are gangsters. Here they not only have wild game to fight, but also can have a good fight, not subject to the constraints of the world, this is a piece of heaven and earth belonging to them.

Dugu Lutian was too familiar with this place to be able to be familiar with it, while Situ Mingyue seldom came here, mainly because she was forced by her father to practice martial arts at home.

Now that a good person is in the company, Dokuroku Lutian can't help but make some introductions.

Brother Defiant, why don't you worship my father and learn martial arts from him.

Is he good at martial arts?

Situ Mingyue blankly glanced at him, My father is at least a Sub-King level expert, in the Han-Tang Empire this is also considered a rare expert, still not worthy of being your master?

Dugu Lutian learned her accent, My father-in-law is at least a sub king level expert, in the Han Tang Empire this is also considered a rare expert, still barely can be my master.

Darn, grown men picking up girlie tones.

Yue'er, it's true that I didn't like martial arts when I was young, but as I grew older, I realized that I slowly started to like it.

Situ Mingyue shouted happily, Yes, you should hurry up and worship my father as your teacher. Not only will you learn martial arts, we can also stay together every day.

Yue'er, let me finish my sentence, I do want to learn martial arts, but I want to learn the number one martial arts in the world, for other martial arts I will only refer to them. Duchess looked like she had a grandiose look on her face.

But where do you go to learn?

Doktor reached into his pants pocket and pulled out the long black jade stone, This is my master, the martial arts I want is inside it.

Situ Mingyue's face was filled with astonishment, ''Brother Defiant, isn't this the weapon you used in your fights. I remember when you used this black stone to make my second brother's head bleed when you were a child. Second brother ran to your house to complain and scared you so much that you didn't dare to go home after dark."

Doktor scratched his head in embarrassment and laughed, Yue'er's memory is so good that she still remembers even this little thing.

I remember I was the one who begged my father to go out and find you and send you home, and I ended up being so angry that Ergo wouldn't talk to me for three days.

Dugu Lutian said, It's still my little Yue'er who's a good boy, that kid is a lout when he loses a fight. But I really miss him, it's been a long time since I've fought with him, when will you sneak your second brother out?

Situ Mingyue laughed, ''Just knowing about fighting, I wouldn't dare to secretly help him escape again. Last time, because I secretly helped you pass a note to him, I was severely punished by my father. My second brother is a key target of my father's training, and he is stricter than anyone else. But even if I helped him escape, you're no match for him anymore."

Che, he's my defeated man. Doktor scoffed.

It's a good thing that you're not a soldier. My second brother is a thousand miles a day, while you only rely on brute force. One is improving every day while the other is standing still, the result is predictable.

Doktor Lutian said, Okay, next time I'll prove it to you with facts. But this black stone I really can't understand it, where exactly is its secret hidden?

Situ Mingyue smiled and said, Alright, let's not talk about this, I've learned a new set of lightweight skills, brother Defiant Sky, you come and catch me.

After saying that, her delicate body fluttered away all of a sudden, her clothes fluttering as she flew into the depths of the woods like a beautiful butterfly.

Doktor Lutian yelled from behind, Okay, I'm coming, let's see where you're going to escape.

He was fit as a fiddle and then ran deeper into the woods.

The forest was filled with laughter.

The sun slowly sank to the west, and the evening sunlight colored half of the sky red. The two of them, Dugu Lutian and Situ Mingyue, sat at the edge of the forest, quietly looking at the afterglow of the setting sun together, their demeanor was that peaceful.

Situ Mingyue's face was filled with intoxication, It's so beautiful, I really want time to stay at this moment, forever.

Silly girl, how can time stop. Isn't it just a fire cloud, it doesn't look very beautiful to me.

Situ Mingyue snapped, What an unintelligent wood, won't you just go along with me and say a few nice words.

Time just can't be stopped.

You ...... Situ Mingyue twisted her face to the side in anger.

Dokuroku Lutian laughed, Of course time can't be stopped, I still have to support each other with my precious Yue'er until the end of time.

Bad egg even angry with me. Saying that, she stretched out her small pink fist and pounded it on Dokuroku Lutian's chest.

The sun was setting and the sky was darkening.

Situ Mingyue leaned her head on Dugu Lutian's shoulder and said quietly, Brother Lutian, actually today I want to tell you something important.

What is it?

I may have to leave the town after a while, the martial arts passed down in our family are not very suitable for women to cultivate, my father is sending me to the door of a martial arts master in Wushuang Country to learn the art. I may not be able to say goodbye to you before I leave, so you must wait for me to come back. Wait for me, okay?

Yes, I'll be waiting for you when you get back.

A bright moon rose, and the bright moonlight sprinkled the woods like large, white feathers.

The two of them returned to the town, when they were about to part ways Situ Mingyue turned to Dugu Lutian and said, Brother Lutian, you must wait for me, I'm going to marry you when I grow up. After saying that, she ran away as if escaping.

Okay, I'll wait.

### Chapter 4: The Season of Microacid Rain ###

The years flew by in a flash, and two years flew by.

Today Situ Aoyue, the second son of Situ Family, finally practiced the family heirloom Bright Moon Heart Sutra to the eleventh level. Situ Jingyun was very happy and took Situ Aoyue's hand and said: ''Son, at the age of nineteen, you have practiced the family's Divine Skill to the eleventh level, which is rare in the family's history in the last hundred years. If you continue to cultivate at this rate, by the time you are fifty years old, you will have practiced the Bright Moon Heart Sutra to the highest level of the eighteenth gravity. At that time, you will be able to place yourself amongst the ranks of the emperor level cover generation experts, and the clan will flourish in your hands."

Situ Aoyue looked at her father's excited appearance, and her heart was also filled with rushing bravado. Who wouldn't aspire to be powerful in the jianghu and across the continent and be invincible. Especially like his age, is the worship of heroes, do heroes dream age group.

Father, I will make the Situ Family famous in the continent.

Good, I'm pleased that you have such ambition. Aoyue, I'll give you three brothers a three-day vacation, go.

Great, thanks dad. I'll go tell big brother and third brother. Saying that, he turned around and ran towards the martial arts practice field in the backyard.

It was no wonder that the three brothers hadn't left the house for a full three months. The Situ family had extremely strict requirements for the next generation. If their martial arts skills do not reach the appropriate standard at the appropriate age, they are not allowed to leave the house. This is the reason why all the Situ Family's jianghu walkers are all highly skilled in martial arts.

In fact, this generation of family head Situ Jingyun's three males were all people with extraordinary qualifications, and their martial arts had long since reached the appropriate standard. However, Situ Jingyun, as the family head, is extremely strict with his children, always demanding high standards, and these three are the best among their peers in the family.

The oldest Situ Haoyue is twenty years old this year, and has now practiced the family heirloom Bright Moon Heart Sutra to the eleventh level, and is currently the family's young generation's first expert. The second Situ Hao Yue is nineteen years old, and has just practiced the Bright Moon Heart Sutra to eleven levels, and has a hidden tendency to come up later. The third Situ Mangyue is sixteen years old, and Situ Mingyue is a pair of dragon and phoenix child, half an hour after Mingyue was born. Subject to the limitations of age, has just practiced the Mingyue Heart Sutra to the ninth level, even so in the younger generation is also considered a master!

Not long after the three brothers came to the hall from the backyard, the oldest was stout and had a masculine beauty. The oldest two were handsome and extraordinary, with a handsome face. The oldest three looked very similar to Situ Mingyue, very handsome, and if they were put into a daughter's costume, they would also be a great beauty.

Greetings to Father. The three of them bowed to Situ Jingyun in unison, but it was hard to hide the joy on their faces.

Get up.

Yes.

Are the three of you going out in such a hurry to find Defiant?

The three nodded.

If that little fighting maniac asks to fight you guys again, you guys must seal 60% of your power. Although this kid is physically tough as hell, you guys aren't what you used to be, so be careful not to hurt him.

The three brothers nodded their heads, and Situ Aoyue said, ''We understand, the three of us let him go last time, but this brat is too hateful. We obviously let him go before we lost to him. He actually laughed at our martial arts being useless, this time, we will make sure he suffers some pain.

Situ Jingyun said, This child, Defiant Sky, has a marvelous qualification and was simply born for martial arts. In the past, I was sorry that he didn't learn martial arts, but now it seems that I was worrying over nothing.

Situ Haoyue said, Just that fighting maniac?

Situ Jingyun said, Not bad, with my current cultivation I finally felt that burning battle intent in his body, sooner or later he will pursue the path of martial arts, perhaps he himself hasn't realized it yet.

Situ Aoyue said, Is he really that powerful? But he's already so old, isn't it too late to practice martial arts?

Situ Jingyun said, He has been fighting since he was a child, his body sinews have long been worked out, it's not late at all. Besides, he is not an ordinary person, the Dugu family really doesn't have any ordinary people.

Situ Mangyue said, I knew my brother-in-law wasn't an ordinary person, aren't Uncle Dugu and Grandpa Dugu ordinary people as well?

Situ Jingyun scolded, Your sister hasn't married that brat yet. Then he added, Children, true masters are often silent. You must remember this saying, well, you guys go out.

The three brothers had been bored at home for three months, and now they were like birds that had just come out of the cage, indescribably relaxed and happy. Walking on the street, looking at everything feels fresh.

The Dugu family was almost next to theirs, only one street away. Situ Haoyue and Situ Aoyue entered the door and shouted, Fighting maniac. Situ Mangyue was even more exaggerated, Brother-in-law, I came to see you.

The subordinates took a look and saw that it was the three princes of the Situ family, and hurriedly went in to report, they had long been accustomed to these odd names.

Not long after a tall and majestic young man walked out, a head and a half taller than normal people, eighteen, nine years old. Long eyebrows into the temples, nose straight mouth square, especially a pair of eyes as bright as the cold stars of the night. The young man was only wearing a pair of pants, **** with his upper body, his skin became a bronze color, and his sturdy muscles were like a sinewy dragon wrapped around his body, showing a sense of force. A black belt tied his hair, long hair casually scattered on his shoulders, wild and unrestrained, slightly flowing, with a look out of the world, only my unique temperament.

This person was none other than Dokurotan, who had just woken up from his nap.

Dugu Lutian laughed badly, So it's the three brothers-in-law, forgive brother-in-law for the crime of being late to greet them.

Situ Haoyue angrily said, Fighting madness, my sister hasn't married you yet, and even if she did, you'd still have to respectfully call me a great uncle.

Situ Mangyue ran over and laughed Brother-in-law, after not seeing you for three months, you've become even more heroic.

Just like his sister Situ Mangyue, Situ Mingyue had been a special admirer of Dugu Wutian since he was a child. Despite the fact that in recent years his kung fu had greatly improved and his fighting skills were no longer below Dugu Wutian's, he was still incredibly worshipful of him.

It's good to have a brother-in-law who knows I'll always be that wise.

Situ Aoyue said, Fighting Frenzy, you're less narcissistic there, beware that we'll beat you to your knees and beg for forgiveness.

Dugu Lutian said, ''Second brother-in-law, if you guys don't come, I'm really going to go crazy. I just learned some martial arts and was looking for someone to practice on, you guys came just in time. Great-uncle, your fire is so strong, so I'll help you to get rid of the fire first later."

The three of them were greatly surprised, all of them did not expect that this maniac who did not like practicing martial arts since he was young and only loved fighting would suddenly start learning martial arts.

Situ Haoyue couldn't help but ask, You practiced martial arts, when? With whom did you learn it?

That is three school years ago, and my grandfather learned some of the continent's common third-rate martial arts, to deal with you guys on a should be more than enough, right.

Situ Haoyue was furious: Fighting maniac, let's immediately go outside the city to compete.

Situ Aoyue also said, Originally, we wanted to pay our respects to Uncle Dugu and Grandpa Dugu, but now it seems that we have to stay and see each other later.

Szeto Mangetsu had obviously long been accustomed to this kind of situation, and watched from the side with a smile on her face.

Doktor said, Okay, you guys wait for me.

With that, he turned and ran towards the backyard, and a moment later ran out again in a top.

It was a sunny spring day, windy and cloudless. The spring breeze was blowing slightly, warming the body and making it feel light and refreshing.

Roadside grass is tender and green, willow lightly green silk tapestry, everything looks so full of life. The air is swirling with a mixture of earthy grass scent, everywhere is spring.

Dokurotsuki's group of four had arrived outside the city, and the four of them walked and chatted.

These four people are fighting out of friendship, although Situ Haoyue and Situ Aoyue are older than Dugu Wutian, but the hourly hours were not less bullied by him. Until one day he no longer bully weak children until, and then because of Situ Mingyue's relationship is friends on the relatives. Although together is not a fight or fight, but the friendship between the four is sincere.

Situ Mangyue said, Brother-in-law, what kind of moves have you actually learned?

Much more, like the Wild Horse Split Mane and the Golden Cockerel, a special jar for the first brother-in-law, and a keeper for the second brother-in-law.

Situ Haoyue was furious: Dugu Lutian, I'll say it again, my sister hasn't married you yet, it's that after she marries you, you'll have to call me great uncle, not some little brother-in-law.

Situ Aoyue also said angrily, Dugu Lutian, don't try to show off your tongue now, I'll make you beg for mercy on your knees later.

Yeah, can't wait.

A few people barfed all the way to their fighting mecca ---- in the forest outside the city.

At this time they found a pair of young men and women sitting beside the woods, looking intimate, and the girl was wiping the sweat for the young man. It looked like they were tired from the journey and were resting here.

Doktor didn't care too much at first, but he suddenly realized that the smiles of the three Situ Family brothers had frozen. He couldn't help but look curiously towards the pair, who were also looking towards them.

Boom.

Dugu Lutian was hit by lightning, his head swirled, his thoughts were blank, and he only woke up after a long time. That young girl is not exactly what he longed for the moon, two years have not seen, Situ Mingyue fell more and more beautiful, the beauty of people suffocated. Previously slightly green little girl, now has completely turned into a stunning young girl, gorgeous face charming and graceful. However, the person who was longing for her was sitting intimately with another young man. The young man was heroic and handsome. Doktor understood, betrayal, the once beloved had betrayed him.

Situ Mingyue obviously also discovered these four people, her expression was awkward as she stood up, wanting to pull the young man up with her, but then she shrunk her hand back. The young man was generous and stood up naturally.

Big brother, second brother, third brother.

Hmph.

The three of them hummed in unison, the three of them did not expect to meet with Situ Mingyue in this situation. Situ Hao Yue and Situ Ao Yue had long since viewed Dugu Futian as their prospective brother-in-law, and Situ Mang Yue had even called Dugu Futian her brother-in-law in front of and behind people. It had long been an open secret that Dugu Wutian was the future son-in-law of the Situ Family, yet the fact in front of them made it difficult for them to accept.

Brother Defiant, I, I ......

Situ Mingyue was even more embarrassed, not knowing what to say.

In this situation, Dugu Lutian's heart was broken. Is this the girl who used to love you so much? Is this the girl that he loved so much? Is this the girl who two years ago told her to wait for her to come back? This is the girl who has been crying out since she was a child, Brother Losing Heaven, I want to marry you when I grow up. Is this the girl who has been shouting, "I want to marry you when I grow up.

Doktor heard the sound of his own heart breaking, once the dots and dashes of a moment all surged to the heart, a scene of the past as in front of the eyes.

A little girl carved in pink and jade followed behind the teenager, her voice delicate and sweet, Brother Defiant, slow down, I can't keep up with you.

Brother Defiant, you carry me on your back. The little girl climbed onto the teenager's back and smiled sweetly.

Brother Defiant, I want to marry you when I grow up. The little girl's tone was firm and her expression was adorable.

In the blink of an eye, the little girl turned into a brightly colored teenager. The young girl ducked behind the teenager's is and reached out to blindfold him, Guess who I am?

The young girl took out a fragrant handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat for the teenager, and delicately said, Brother Defiant don't fight with them, play with me.

The young girl delicately snuggled into the young man's shoulder, Brother Defiant I'm going to marry you when I grow up.

In the blink of an eye the scene changed again, the bright young girl turned into a beautiful girl, her voluptuous features flirtatious and charming. The same was wiping the sweat for a young man, yet the young man was not him, the graceful figure was sitting intimately with another young man.

Doktor's eyes were moist.

Ah ......

He yelled and ran towards the town as fast as he could. He heard Situ Mingyue seemingly call out to Brother Defiant, telling him to stop. He didn't dare to stop, he was afraid that Situ Mingyue would see the hot tears in his eyes, afraid that she would hear the sound of his heart breaking.

##Chapter 5: Unforgettable First Love###

The three Situ brothers turned around and chased after Dugu Lutian, but Situ Aoyue chased after a few steps and then stopped. If the three brothers left like this, it would be too disrespectful to their sister, after all, there is still an outsider here.

When Situ Aoyue arrived at the Dugu family's house, Situ Hao Yue and Situ Mang Yue were walking around outside the door of Dugu's room, and Dugu's mother, Chen Ting, also happened to be walking towards this courtyard.

Chen Ting was already nearly forty years old, her demeanor was graceful, and the years hadn't left many traces on her pretty face. Why are you three brothers so flustered, did Defiant Sky cause some big trouble again? It's a pity that his father isn't at home, or else he would have been taught a hard lesson.

Situ Mangyue said, Auntie, it's not like that, my sister is back.

Chen Ting's beautiful eyes lit up, she had long since treated Situ Mingyue as a prospective daughter-in-law of the Dugu family. Really, Yue'er is back? Are you guys looking for Defiant to go over there? Defiant, why don't you open the door, Yue'er is back, why don't you hurry to meet her.

Doktor answered from inside, No, I want to be quiet for a while.

Situ Hao Yue and Situ Mang Yue let out a long breath, finally knowing that he was fine inside, just now they were afraid that he would do something stupid.

Situ Aoyue said, Auntie, we have something to say to you.

Chen Ting also saw that something was wrong, You three follow me to the hall.

The four of them came to the hall before Situ Mangyue stammered, Auntie, just now, just now my brother-in-law saw my sister .......

Chen Ting finally realized what was going on and her willow eyebrows couldn't help but frown. No wonder her son reacted in such a way, she knew Dugu Lutian's last name. Normally, he didn't care if he encountered anything big, but this matter had touched his heart.

The three of you and Defiant Sky have played together since you were young, and I think the three of you know his last name even better than I do. He seems wild and unrestrained on the surface, and is usually even more hangdog, not caring about anything. But once he gets serious, alas ...... this child is actually very fragile in the face of feelings.

Situ Haoyue said, We know his surname, and this incident happened too suddenly. Mingyue has gone too far, we will go back and persuade her properly.

Situ Aoyue also said, Auntie don't worry, we will persuade Mingyue when we go back.

Situ Mangyue said, I don't recognize anyone other than my defeated brother-in-law.

Chen Ting laughed bitterly, ''Silly child, emotional matters are not persuasive, especially the heart of a girl, you will never understand. Alas! Let nature take its course."

The little princess of the Situ Family, Situ Mingyue, had returned, which was originally a matter of great joy. However, there was also an exceptionally handsome youth returning with her, how could the elders of the Situ Family not see the relationship between the two from the look in their eyes. The originally warmer atmosphere ended hastily in a rather awkward scene.

Just after dinner, the three brothers of the Situ family ran to the Dokuro family.

Dokuro Yanshi, Dokuro's father, had already returned home, and he was drinking tea when the three of them arrived.

Situ Mangyue said, Uncle, is Brother-in-law Defiant Sky alright?

Dokuro Yanshi had long been surprised at him calling Defiant Sky this way, and laughed, You little guy, you'll have to change your mouth in the future, you can't call him brother-in-law anymore.

Situ Mangyue scratched her head and said, I don't recognize anyone other than Brother-in-law Defiant.

Dokuro Yanshi just smiled.

Situ Aoyue said, Uncle, is he alright in Defiant Sky.

Dokuro Yanshi laughed, It's not like you guys don't know his temper, when he's angry he can eat more than any other time, right now he's in the kitchen gorging himself.

Upon hearing this, the three brothers rushed towards the kitchen. Entering the door, Dugu Lutian was in the midst of whaling and drinking, a table of sumptuous meals had been wiped out by him for a large portion, and an altar of wine had also reached the bottom.

There was enough food for three people, but it was packed close to his stomach by himself, and the three of them were secretly staggered.

The three watched in silence as he finished his meal.

Situ Haoyue said, Defiant Sky, I really don't know what to say. At home, we never had the chance to talk to my sister alone.

Doktor Lutian said, There's no need to say anything more, if any of the three of you dare to say something to her, I'll be in a hurry with him.

The three of them really hoped that Situ Mingyue would marry Dugu Futian, but this kind of thing happened.

The four men were silent for a moment.

It was at this time that the subordinate came in to report, Young Master, Miss Situ is waiting for you in your room.

The three Situ brothers were overjoyed, and Situ Mangyue said, Brother-in-law, my sister has changed her mind, so go quickly.

Doktor stood up and said, Come to showdown with me. After saying that, he turned around and took big steps outside.

Big brother, second brother, should we go?

The two brothers looked at each other and said at the same time, We'd better go home first.

The most unforgettable and unforgettable thing in a person's life is the first love. The feeling of first love is like looking at flowers in the fog, looking at the moon in the water in general, hazy but relaxed and happy, let a person mesmerized.

In the room, Dugu Lutian again saw this delicate figure that he had been holding onto for two years. Yi Ren was still dressed in emerald green, her pretty face slightly haggard.

Brother Defiant.

Situ Mingyue instantly jumped into Dokurotsu's arms.

Doktor stood there without moving, allowing her to pounce on his chest.

Situ Mingyue's tears flowed out, Brother Defiant, I know I'm sorry, I shouldn't have fallen in love with two people at the same time, oooh ......

Large drops of tears fell on Dokuroku's chest, and the tears dampened his lapel.

You don't know how much I've missed you in the past two years, and it was at this time that Senior Brother Liu came into my life. And, and he has given so much for me. I realized that he had so many of your traits in him, the same unyieldingness, the same tenacity. I began to think of him as you to comfort Acacia, who knows but fell deeper and deeper, and finally fell in love with him as much as I love you. Oooh ...... my heart is so painful, oooh ......

Doktor let her tell her story, let her cry, and quietly stood there not moving a muscle, not saying a word.

When love has been split in two, is it still called love?

Brother Defiant, speak, hit me. Situ Mingyue's face was pearly and beaded with tears.

Dokuroku slowly pushed her away from his chest, saying, Just because he looks like me, you like him?

He has ideals and ambitions, he wants to break out in the martial arts world, he wants to make a career on the continent ...... Looking at Dugu Futian's indifferent face, Situ Mingyue's voice ended abruptly.

Dokuroku Lutian secretly laughed in his heart: having ideals and aspirations. As for me, I'm a punk kid, a fighting maniac.

Situ Mingyue looked at him in shock, Brother Defiant, please forgive me, don't be like this. You give me some time, I will forget about Senior Brother Liu.

Doktor was completely disappointed, up to this point in time she was still thinking about that Senior Brother Liu.

"Yue'er, you don't have to blame yourself. In the past, we were still young and didn't understand what love was at all. Love is not only a commitment or a responsibility, it also requires two people's hearts to be together forever.

You don't have to hold on to your past vows, you were too young to know true love. And I can't bring you any happiness. Grandpa said that I am a war spirit against the heavens, in this life I live for martial arts, for war, my life will be full of conquests and killings. My current peaceful life is just a prelude to a storm, once I embark on the jianghu, it will be a road of no return.

Go back to your senior brother Liu, although I only took one look at him, I can feel that he truly loves you and he can bring you happiness. Go on, I wish you both to grow old together."

Situ Mingyue has long been sobbing uncontrollably, Oooo ...... no, Brother Defiant, I will never leave you.

Doktor pushed her away from his chest again and helped her out of the house and to the front door again.

The subordinates of the Dugu family looked at the expressionless Dugu Lutian and the tearful Situ Mingyue with tears falling like rain in amazement, all of them not knowing what had happened.

Doktor Lutian kept sending Situ Mingyue to the entrance of the Situ Family before he stopped and stood still.

Situ Mingyue's face was filled with tears, Brother Defiant, I won't leave you.

Doktor didn't say anything.

Brother Defiant will you hug me again?

Doktor hesitated for a moment and ultimately didn't move.

Brother Defiant, you have a cruel heart.

Situ Mingyue burst into tears and turned around to run into the courtyard.

Doktor turned his body numbly and walked towards his home. His heart was filled with boundless bitterness, he chose to give up when a pure relationship appeared to be tainted, but he felt like he was escaping again.

First love is unforgettable.

Unforgettable first love, because in that youthful full of enthusiasm, in that carefree hidden childishness, in that caring deep innocence.

Unforgettable first love, because once the oath of alliance still lingers in the ear, because the passing of the face and face is still in front of the eyes, because of the heart of the past has not yet dispersed.

;

### Chapter 6: Gloom ###

Dugu Lutian's heart was bitter to the core as he returned to his room like a walking corpse. What happened today was too sudden, he didn't expect that Yue'er, who had once sworn an alliance with him, would have second thoughts about him, he couldn't accept this fact. He walked into the kitchen, carried a jar of wine back to the house, slapped open the seal of the wine, tilted his head back and poured a jar of wine into his belly, and lay down on the bed and fell into a deep sleep.

The next day, at the crack of dawn, the three brothers of the Situ Family ran to Dokuroku's home.

Defiant, wake up, wake up. The three of them shook and shook and finally woke up Dugu Defiant.

Situ Mangyue said, Brother-in-law, don't sleep. My sister cried all night and packed her things early this morning to get up and go back to the Wushuang Country.

Doktor sat up in shock.

Situ Haoyue said, Defiant Sky, hurry up and go after them or you'll be too late.

Doktor sat on the bed dumbfounded as he remembered the words he said to Situ Mingyue last night.

"Yue'er, you don't have to blame yourself. In the past, we were still young and didn't understand what love was at all. Love is not only a commitment or a responsibility, it also requires two people's hearts to be together forever.

......

Go back to your senior brother Liu, although I only took one look at him, I can feel that he truly loves you and he can bring you happiness. Go on, I wish you both to grow old together."

He laid down on the bed again and slowly closed his eyes. She left just like that, not only because she had broken her heart, but also because she really had that senior brother Liu in her heart.

Situ Aoyue anxiously called out, Defiant Sky, get up quickly, if you don't get up it will be too late.

The three men moved to pull him from the bed.

Dugu Lutian angrily said, You guys let go, what does her matter have to do with me? I've already made a clean break with her and have no relationship from now on.

The three flinched and looked at him like he was a stranger.

Brother-in-law, is it true that you don't like your sister anymore?

She already has someone else in mind.

But last night, she clearly told the three of us that you don't like her anymore.

I want a love that is complete, and if a love has been divided into two halves or is tainted, it is better not to have it. If it continues, it will be a monstrous love affair that will end in endless pain. Instead of that, it is better to end it before it is too late.

The three Stuart brothers were silent.

You three are here just in time, we didn't get into a fight yesterday, so we'll continue today, right here in my backyard.

Dokurotsuki stiffly pulled the three of them to the backyard.

The three Situ brothers didn't use fancy moves or strong internal force, exactly like they did when they were hours old, the three of them rushed at Dugu Lutian together and twisted and fought with him with brute force.

Ping-pong.

The yard rattled into a frenzy.

Half an hour later, all four were lying on the ground, one with a bruised face.

After a while Doktor staggered to his feet, looked at the bruised and swollen cheeks of the three of them and laughed twice, then cried out, then fell silent again and turned toward the house.

The three of them looked at each other in silence for a while, then turned to leave.

In the following days, Dokuroku Lutian seemed to be really hooked on martial arts, learning martial arts with his father all day long. Of course it was all basic martial arts moves.

In recent years, Dugu Lutian with the growth of age, the body is getting stronger and stronger. Almost ten days and a half months to go to his gangster friends to fight once, mainly because every fight, the gangsters have to rest for a few days. Now he is three or two days to find them to fight once, the gangsters screamed bitterly.

In addition, due to the fiasco of Situ Mingyue, Situ Jingyun specially allowed the three Situ Hao Yue brothers to come out one person every week to accompany Dokuroku Lutian to fight and relieve his boredom.

Doktor was numbing himself, and every time he dragged his battered and bruised body to his home, it was as if he felt a little better about the trauma of his mind.

Finally, after a drunken night out, he was taken into a brothel by a group of gangster friends. In a daze, he felt someone undressing him. He slapped him across the face with a loud bang.

Ah.

A shriek.

Doktor opened his eyes and saw that it was a demonic girl. Who are you?

I'm Peony.

Where is this?

This is the Risen House.

What? This is a brothel?

Yes ...... yes, Peony looked at Dugu Lutian's face full of anger and shivered in fear.

The Dokurokuku Heavenly Enlightenment was very angry, and then relieved. These gangster friends, although not very decent, their friendship with himself was still considered genuine. These people's feelings with him were fought out from childhood. They must be to see himself these days too bitter, want to let himself relax a little, but a little too much.

Your name is Peony?

Yes.

What kind of services do you offer here besides sleeping with your clients?

Drink with your guests and play songs for them.

Okay, just play and sing for me.

Peony holds a lute in her arms and sings as she plays:

"A long time ago, in Chang'an.

The autumn cries of the golden wells, the frost is bleak and the color is cold.

Lonely lamps are not clear thoughts want to end, curled curtains look at the moon empty long sigh.

Beauty is like a flower across the clouds.

Above, there is the high sky of the green underworld, and below, there are waves of green water.

It's hard to fly on a long road, and it's hard to dream and not be able to pass the mountains.

A long love affair destroys the heart."

The song was mournful, and Dugu Lutian's heart mourned greatly, which just evoked the strand of sadness in his heart. After listening to this song, he felt something in his heart, he felt much more comfortable in his heart, this song seemed to have sung to his heart.

Since then, there was one more prodigal son in Changfeng Town, who often hung out at the Lichun Yard. Those who were familiar with him knew that Dugu Lutian only drank and listened to music at the Lichun Yard, while those who didn't knew that he had completely turned into the king of Changfeng Town's gangsters.

The news finally reached his home, and his father taught him a hard lesson. Chen Ting caressed the wounds on Dugu Lutian's body, her heart aching with pain.

"My child, when you have experienced loving and being loved, and learned to love, then you will know what you need, and only then will you find the person who is most suitable for you, and who can get along with you for the rest of your life. But sadly in real life, these three people are usually not the same person; the one you love the most, often didn't choose you; the one who loves you the most, often is not the one you love the most; and the one who lasts the longest, on the contrary, is not the one you love the most nor the one who loves you the most, but just the one who appeared at the most suitable time.

It's hard to overlap ideals with reality. You're too emotional, you need to learn to change. You are not an ordinary person. Don't forget what your grandfather said to you. You may have to walk a hard road of no return in this life. Or it may be a bright road that no one has ever seen before. In this
