Chapter 77: Something Big Happened, Ding Miang Got Beaten Up Again
Qu Yang, although not a high-ranking member of the demonic sect, shared Liu Zhengfeng's passion for music. The two were kindred spirits and mutually understood each other. Qu Yang had suffered significant losses in his cultivation, yet he still came to rescue Liu Zhengfeng despite knowing it would be a perilous task. This showed his heroic and chivalrous nature, revealing him to be a man of strong emotions.
Qu Yang treated Linghu Cong's injuries, exhausting 99% of his strength. After a night of meditation, he only recovered half of it. He then fought fiercely with Fei Bin and other Mount Song disciples, suffering internal injuries in the process. With great effort, he used the Black Blood Needle, a hidden weapon from the Day Moon Divine Sect, to repel Fei Bin. Summoning his last bit of true energy, he supported Liu Zhengfeng as they desperately escaped from the Liu Manor.
More than a dozen disciples of the Songshan Sect who had been abolished were lying on the ground, wailing incessantly. Ding Mian and Fei Bin were furious, this Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng were too arrogant, this was simply a naked slap in the face in front of many Jianghu heroes! This matter absolutely cannot be let go like this, otherwise wouldn't other Jianghu fellow practitioners think that my Songshan Sect is easy to bully?
Ding Mian directly ordered Fei Bin to take the Songshan disciples and chase after them, vowing to tear Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang into pieces to avenge his deep-seated hatred.
"Haha, since the excitement is over, I won't play with you guys anymore. Brother, let's withdraw." Linghu Chong shouted loudly towards the eaves of the roof and strode out of the Liu residence.
At the same time, a figure wearing a green shirt, slightly thin and frail, jumped up from the eaves of the Liu mansion and disappeared from everyone's sight in an instant.
The crowd was shocked and dismayed, each secretly wondering if they had been overworking themselves lately, their sensitivity having dropped to such an extent that two big living people were hiding on the roof without being detected, which was absolutely impossible in the past.
Linghu Chong strode away, his face covered. None of the present martial arts masters tried to stop him. After all, a master who could overpower Ding Mian, the great guardian of Mount Song, was rarely seen in Jianghu. Who would be foolish enough to offend such a powerful person without reason?
As for Ding Mian, the leader of the Songshan Sect, he would not stop him even more. He was eager to get rid of this jinx as soon as possible, so that he wouldn't interfere with his plans and hinder the progress of the Songshan Sect.
After waiting for a moment, Linghu Chong did not return. Ding Mian coughed several times and raised his hand to order the disciples of Songshan Sect to capture Liu Zhengfeng's seriously injured wife and children, as well as all the fellow disciples.
Other Jianghu bigwigs remained unmoved, only Yue Buqun and Ding Yitian rushed forward to block him. Ding Yitian angrily said: "Ding Mian, what do you want to do again?"
Ding Mian slowly tidied up his clothes, and with a salute to Yue Buqun and the other heroes in the hall, he said: "Brother Yue, Master Yu, fellow heroes, Liu Zhengfeng has colluded with the demonic sect and is now a renegade of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. My Songshan Sect will definitely clean up its own house, behead the demons and eliminate evil. None of Liu Zhengfeng's family members can be spared; they must all be captured and brought back to Songshan for trial."
"Fart!"
Ding Yi's master suddenly became furious and unexpectedly blurted out a rare foul language. It was really unthinkable that Ding Yi, as a renowned top-notch expert in Jianghu, had such poor character, and he even planned to take Liu Zhengfeng's family hostage, which was simply unfilial and shameless.
"Ding brother, Liu's martial arts have been crippled and his family is innocent. Why must you pursue them to the death? Spare their lives and let them live in seclusion." Yue Buqun also stepped forward and spoke up.
"If you don't pull out the weeds by their roots, they will grow again when the spring breeze blows. It's a pity that they followed the wrong master, for in Liu Manor, not even a blade of grass can survive. Brother Yue won't stop me from eliminating a scourge from the jianghu, will he?" Ding Mian said with a sneer.
That meddling, masked coward has left. The dim-witted Ding Yi Sheng has already been injured by him and probably can't resist him anymore. Yue Buqun is a hypocrite who always talks big but never takes action, I believe he won't confront me and the Songshan Sect for the sake of Liu Zhengfeng. As for other Jianghu big shots, they don't care about this matter at all, whether Liu Zhengfeng's people are dead or alive has nothing to do with them, they just watch the excitement.
But things didn't seem to go as Ding Mi had thought, and Yue Buqun, that hypocrite, unexpectedly stood firm for once and personally intervened to stop him. This was truly beyond his expectations.
For over a decade, the tolerance of Mount Song School's masters made them think that Yue Buqun was timid and afraid of trouble, looking down on him. Although his martial arts skills were unparalleled, earning him the reputation of "Gentleman Sword" in Jianghu, it couldn't change the fact that he was weak-willed.
Yue Buqun's previous style of doing things, to put it nicely, was that of a gentleman, refined and elegant. To put it bluntly, he was timid and afraid of trouble, weak and incompetent. Since the great battle at Black Wood Cliff where Left Cold Arrow defeated the former leader of the Devil Cult, the power and prestige of Mount Song Sect have greatly increased, gradually becoming stronger in recent years, quietly becoming the third largest sect in the Jianghu world after Lingjiu Temple and Wudang Sect. As the second-in-command, Ding Meng naturally also rose with the tide, his status revered, so he became more and more arrogant and overbearing.
Ding Yi Shitai intervened, and he didn't say a word, slapping him flying. Now Yue Buqun also blocked him, and naturally, he wouldn't give up either, determined to have a fight with Yue Buqun, testing the endurance of this pseudo-gentleman who was highly esteemed by Zuo Lengchan.
Ding Meng shouted loudly, drew his treasured sword and struck directly at Yue Buqun. Alas, this young man was too self-satisfied, never thinking that he could make even Zuo Lengchan apprehensive, yet willing to spend great effort sending disciples to Huashan as spies rather than confront Yue Buqun head-on. It can be imagined how fearsome Old Yue was.
Although Ding Mian was the second figure of the Songshan School, he was still far inferior to Yue Buqun. Yue Buqun drew out his long sword and with a single swing of his Du Gu Jiu Jian, he cut off Ding Mian's long sword in his hand. Immediately following that, without decreasing in power, he fiercely chopped at Ding Mian's body, directly sending him flying four to five meters away. If not for controlling the force and showing mercy, Ding Mian would have probably bid farewell to this world and parted with life forever.
Ding Meng was half-kneeling on the ground, with bright red blood overflowing from his mouth, and a look of sorrow, anger, and terror on his face. This son of a bitch is still that "Gentleman Sword" who only talks but doesn't practice, yet he's so ruthless to this extent, killing him with one move, this top-notch master. I'm afraid even Left Cold Mountain's martial arts are only at this level. Are the spies from Mount Song all eating shit? They can't even grasp the basic strength, otherwise they wouldn't dare provoke Yue Buqun even if they had ten times more guts.
The disciples of the Songshan Sect opened their eyes today, and Ding Mian, the great protector of the Songshan Sect, who was usually high above and had the highest martial arts skills, was actually beaten by someone again. In just one day, he was beaten twice, which is really very bad.
A group of Mount Hua disciples rushed forward to protect Ding Mian, warily watching Yue Buqun, while Old Yue simply couldn't be bothered with these little rascals, sheathed his sword and retreated.
Such a powerful Ding Meng, forcing Liu Zhengfeng to cut off his heart vein, but when he went out, he didn't check the Yellow Calendar, and was beaten up by two unparalleled masters in a row. Especially Yue Buqun, who was simply ruthless, and actually knocked him down with one move, scaring many of the Jianghu big shots into peeing their pants.
The leader of the Qingcheng Sect, Yu Canghai, and his disciples all looked as pale as earth, this Yue Buqun seemed to be overestimating himself a bit too much. One Linghu Chong was already difficult to deal with, adding another Yue Buqun, did my Qingcheng Sect still have any chance of survival?
"No, Linghu Cong has been seriously injured and cannot be allowed to recover. We must take advantage of his weakness and kill him at all costs. As for Yue Buqun, he may not be much stronger than me. This Ding Mian's martial arts have reached the pinnacle, but he was once wounded by a mysterious masked man and became careless, which is why he was defeated by Yue Buqun in one move. I am now half a step into the realm of the world's top masters, and if I use my full strength, dealing with Ding Mian will not require much effort."
Yu Canghai secretly thought about it and became even more determined to get rid of Linghu Chong.
