Chapter 599: Chapter 0601: The Battle of Attentive Listening

Chu Feng’s thoughts returned to the present as he looked at Kuye and asked, "Then what do you think?"

Without any attempt to conceal his intentions, Kuye replied, "I will go back to the Eastern lands and persuade masters to come and kill you."

Chu Feng’s undisguised killing intent enveloped Kuye as he said, "I know monks do not lie, but do you think you need to tell the truth even if your life is under threat? For instance, now that you’ve told me this fact, do you think I might let you go?"

Kuye shook his head and said, "No, but I still cannot lie. Moreover, I am blind, so I know better than others how to protect myself. If I want to run, you may not be able to catch up, right?"

"You’re quite confident, aren’t you? Why don’t we try it out? I’ve never failed to capture someone," retorted Chu Feng.

Kuye said, "Do you really want to make a move in your school? If you initiate the attack, I can’t guarantee that I’ll be able to control the battle area."

Chu Feng’s gaze turned sharp upon hearing Kuye’s words.

"Do you know what it means to be sanctimonious?" Chu Feng asked.

"Yes," Kuye answered.

Chu Feng said, "Then, do you realize how sanctimonious you are being right now? On one hand, you talk about the school being a sacred place where fighting is not allowed. On the other hand, you say that you cannot control the situation in battle. I now know why you became blind—You must have always been able to see your own sanctimonious face. Then, your eyes, unable to bear such disgusting sights, went blind on their own, right?"

Kuye’s expression remained unchanged, no matter how harsh or grating Chu Feng’s words were. Kuye was truly like a withered leaf, having reached the end of its life, any excess expression was, to him, a waste of life.

Of course, Chu Feng knew that the Zen Technique Kuye practiced, if it reached the endpoint, would lead to the wood springing back to life, rejuvenating a second life, completing a transformation—Nirvana.

Even Kuye’s blind eyes might recover. According to legends, this Zen Technique left by the Dharma Ancestor had been lost for too long. Although famous, no one had seen a real example of it, and Kuye, somehow, got hold of this technique and had come far, nearly seeing the hope for success.

After breaking out of the cocoon, one must transform into a butterfly, so now Kuye could not afford to get excited. Getting excited, for Kuye, meant killing his own hope and life.

"Phew!"

Chu Feng was unwilling to continue talking to Kuye, who was like a log, and chose to strike directly.

Leaving such a person around was inevitably a disaster. Better to deal with him directly and avoid future trouble.

Although Kuye could not see, his hearing was incredibly sharp.

Every rustle of the wind and grass was translated into a definite shape in Kuye’s understanding.

And Kuye could hear not just within the range of human hearing—sounds beyond that were also completely discernible to him.

This made Kuye equal to a seeing person and even when facing masters, Kuye was not afraid.

Even if a master used the Turtle Breath Technique or another Cultivation Technique to make no sound at all, Kuye was unafraid. After all, no matter how sophisticated the Turtle Breath Technique was, it could not stop the flow of blood, right?

The sound of blood flowing through the veins was something Kuye could distinguish. This was the truly terrifying aspect of Kuye.

Thus, Chu Feng’s punch, though swift and fierce, appeared even clearer to Kuye’s ears than to someone observing with eyesight.

Because eyes can only see the direction of a coming fist, but ears can hear the force exerted by Chu Feng, the vibration of the air. This allowed Kuye to dodge comfortably and even predict Chu Feng’s next move.

In fact, Kuye dodged very easily. Standing still, his body tilted like a weebill to the side by an angle of forty-five degrees, effortlessly avoiding Chu Feng’s attack.

Chu Feng’s punch missed, and his elbow suddenly shot downwards, aiming to break Kuye’s ribs.

But it seemed Kuye had anticipated this, his body bending backwards once more, curving like a bow, causing Chu Feng’s attack to miss yet again.

Then Chu Feng launched a rapid succession of attacks, striking at Kuye fifteen times in a row. Each attack was faster than the last, but miraculously, Kuye dodged them all.

A person with sight might not have been able to do this, yet a blind man effortlessly did, which couldn’t help but shock Chu Feng.

Chu Feng’s continuous fifteen strikes were all executed within five seconds. Such speed was beyond the capability of an ordinary person. But Kuye seemed to sense it all in advance, judging each move one step ahead of Chu Feng.

Their first exchange ended with Chu Feng returning empty-handed.

Chu Feng returned to his spot, looking at Kuye and remarked, "Interesting, it seems your ears are much more useful than my eyes."

Bringing his hands together, Kuye responded, "Since the probing is over, let’s part ways here. I can only remind you to be careful, there’s nothing more I can do."

Chu Feng snorted, "I’ve never known what it means to be careful, and do you think after you told me you were going to find someone to kill me, I would still let you leave? Is that my style? I admit I can be a little despicable, but not enough to let my enemy go."

Confident in his position, Kuye proclaimed, "But Benefactor, you have already tried and indeed you have no way to kill me."

"What I did just now was a warm-up. Don’t tell me you don’t understand what a warm-up is? The real attack is just beginning," declared Chu Feng.

Hands still joined, Kuye said, "Very well, I am all ears."

When others say ’I am all ears,’ it might seem odd. But coming from the old monk, it wasn’t strange at all because he could only rely on his hearing. Other than being all ears, he couldn’t ’keep his eyes peeled.’

"Then listen very carefully and don’t doze off, because if you do, you might just sleep forever," Chu Feng warned.

Kuye responded, "Benefactor, you talk too much. No matter how much you say, my ears won’t get tired. So, Benefactor, this tactic of yours is useless against me."

Hearing Kuye’s words made Chu Feng very angry. Kuye was actually mocking him, which was utterly infuriating. Being ridiculed by a blind man, Chu Feng wondered how he could face the people of Jiangdong with any dignity.
