Chapter 76: Qu Yang Saves Someone
Liu Zhengfeng raised his head and gazed up at the vast sky, a look of despair on his face. He had used his extensive connections to invite heroes from all over the world to attend his Golden Basin Washing Hands Convention, not only to have them bear witness, but also to add gravity to his ritual of washing his hands and retiring from the Jianghu. Another purpose was to use the presence of these heroes to put pressure on the Songshan Sect.
He wants to prove to the Songshan Sect and Zuo Lengchan that Liu Zhengfeng's connections in Jianghu are vast, and his face is very large. The Songshan Sect wants to move me, but they must carefully consider it.
However, Liu Zhengfeng overestimated the sense of justice among the Jianghu heroes. Many of them were present, but they were mostly there to take advantage of the free food and drink, and simply to watch the excitement. When the Liu family fell into trouble, they all chose to stand by and do nothing, not even daring to speak out for what was right.
The most depressing thing is that the leader of the Hengshan Sect, Mr. Mo Da, his senior brother did not even show up to support him. If Mo Da were there, would he be afraid of Ding Mian? His senior brother was already a top-notch master three years ago.
Only Hengshan's Ding Yitian and Huashan's Yue Buqun stood up for him, but they were still outnumbered. Ding Yitian was injured, and although Yue Buqun had not yet made a move, he was also outnumbered. This precarious situation sent chills down his spine. He had underestimated the cunning and ruthlessness of Zuo Lengchan, and the shamelessness of the Songshan Sect.
His wife and children were held hostage by the Mount Song Sect's deadly sword, and none of the so-called heroes he had paid a great price to invite came to his aid. Instead, it was a stranger who overheard from the eaves that intervened and stopped the evil deeds of the Mount Song Sect.
This made Liu Zhengfeng disheartened, that Zuo Lengchan seemed generous, giving him a way out, but he had always been a man of honor and would not betray his friends to gain wealth and glory. This cold surname bastard wants me dead!
"Alright, alright. Since things have come to this point, I'm already out of options today. Ding's martial arts skills are one step ahead of mine, and further resistance would probably be futile. It's better for me to end my own life. I only hope that Brother Yue can keep my family safe." Liu Zhengfeng thought to himself.
"Mr. Ding, you win!"
Liu Zhengfeng looked around, let out a mournful laugh, and raised his right hand to slap his own dantian fiercely. This matter must be settled with the Songshan Sect, otherwise the Liu Manor might be completely annihilated, leaving no grass intact.
Liu Zhengfeng's luck was running out, and he ruthlessly turned his poisonous hand on himself, which scared the living daylights out of Linghu Chong and Yue Buqun. "You're too cruel!" they exclaimed. "How could you even think of taking your own life?" Haven't we been plotting for so long just to save your family? If you die, all our efforts will be in vain! Do you know that you are one of the greatest gains of our Huashan Sect?
The situation was critical, and Linghu Chong couldn't afford to waste any more true energy. He directly used a palm technique to strike out, wanting to stop Liu Zhengfeng. However, Liu Zhengfeng was also one of the top masters in Jianghu, and he executed his move too quickly, too hastily, and too fiercely. Linghu Chong was a bit too far away, and he couldn't completely stop him in time.
Linghu Chong's urgent and sudden palm force only slightly blocked Liu Zhengfeng for a moment, before declaring defeat, being struck apart by Liu Zhengfeng. The remaining force still heavily slapped his chest.
"Gasp!"
Liu Zhengfeng suddenly spat out a large mouthful of scarlet blood and collapsed weakly to the ground.
"Damn it!" Linghu Cong and Yue Buqun both cursed at the same time. This Liu Zhengfeng looked like a gentle and affable person, but unexpectedly he was so ruthless to himself, what kind of willpower did he need to pretend to be this way?
Linghu Chong saw it clearly, if he hadn't just spent his true yuan to release a palm force to slightly block Liu Zhengfeng's full-strength attack, he would probably be dead by now. But now, although he was also seriously injured, at least his life was saved.
Linghu Chong gave a wink to Yue Buqun, hinting that Old Yue should go up and protect Liu Zhengfeng. After all, his current identity was not suitable for showing too much favoritism towards Liu Zhengfeng, lest Mount Hua Sect suspect something. For Mount Hua Sect to rise, it needed time to consolidate; now was not the time to thoroughly turn against Mount Song Sect.
Before Yu Buqun could step forward, several black shadows burst into the air and shot rapidly towards Liu Zhengfeng's surroundings. A middle-aged handsome man rushed over, supporting the fallen Liu Zhengfeng with one hand, and shouted loudly: "Liu Xiongdi, how are you? I'm late!"
The person who came was actually putting all his strength into Linghu Cong's body to help him heal, but he unexpectedly broke through his own martial arts bottleneck and became a top-notch master. However, the current Qu Yang has a pale face, floating footsteps, obviously his strength has been greatly consumed, and he is not in his peak state at all.
Qu Yang had broken through to the pinnacle of the highest level, but 99% of his internal strength was lost to Linghu Chong. Even if he could absorb some of the heaven and earth's original energy by advancing, it would still take a few months to fully recover. Now, having only meditated for less than a day, he hastily rushed over to rescue people, naturally with greatly discounted combat effectiveness.
"Brother Qu, how did you come here? Don't mind me, hurry and leave." Liu Zhengfeng said anxiously as soon as he saw Qu Yang appear.
Everyone present is a heroic figure in the righteous martial arts world, with a deep-seated grudge against the demonic sect. They hate the demonic sect to the bone, and now Qu Yang dares to appear openly in front of many righteous masters, which is undoubtedly adding fuel to the fire and may provoke a group attack. Therefore, Liu Zhengfeng's first reaction was to tell Qu Yang to escape, he didn't want to drag Qu Yang down.
Having one bosom friend is enough for a lifetime!
"It's the Bright Right Envoy of the Devil Sect, Qu Yang! Liu Zhengfeng has indeed colluded with the Devil Sect. All disciples, listen to my orders and kill them without mercy, to rid the martial world of this scourge!" DIng Mian shouted loudly as soon as he saw Qu Yang appear, giving orders to the Mount Song disciples.
"Yes!"
Kill
A group of Mount Song disciples drew their long swords, like Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng, and charged forward. Notably, Fei Bin surprisingly also joined the siege with a thick face.
Perhaps it was just now that Liu Zhengfeng choked his neck and lost face, so he wanted to find the scene when Liu Zhengfeng was seriously injured, but he didn't care about his identity, shamelessly drew his sword and attacked.
Qu Yang's strength was greatly damaged at this time, and he was naturally no match for them. He took out the Black Blood Divine Needle, a unique hidden weapon of the Sun Moon Cult, and with a fierce flick of his wrist, countless specially-made embroidered needles shot towards the crowd of Songshan disciples. Such dense hidden attacks made it impossible for the Songshan sect disciples to avoid, many were directly hit and fell to the ground, foaming at the mouth.
It turned out that the black blood needle was coated with a top-grade anesthetic specially made by Ping Yijian, the number one doctor in the world. Ordinary masters couldn't resist it at all, and once they were hit, they would immediately lose their combat power and temporarily become useless.
"Go!"
Qu Yang shot out the Black Blood Divine Needle, a unique hidden weapon of the Ri Yue Shen Jiao, and then carried Liu Zhengfeng away, forcibly circulating his true energy to perform lightness skills, jumping out of the Liu Manor and fleeing wildly.
