Chapter 117: Ambush Against Bai Tianyu
Chapter 117: Ambush Against Bai Tianyu
Bai Tianyu arrived, accompanied by Ma Kongqun and a group of Shendao Hall disciples.
"He only brought four people with him. Seems like he's quite sincere," Ma Kongqun whispered.
Bai Tianyu acknowledged with a grunt, then boldly took a seat across from Pei Wangjun. He got straight to the point, "Are you willing to join Shendao Hall?"
At this moment, Bai Tianyu was not in a jovial mood like he had been with You Longsheng back at Shendao Hall.
His aura was fierce like a tiger, majestic like a divine dragon, and his eyes sharp like an eagle's.
Pei Wangjun, who had been struggling to make a name for himself in the Taihang Mountains for nearly a decade and considered himself no weaker than others, suddenly felt overwhelmed by Bai Tianyu's presence.
Suppressing the fear in his heart, Pei Wangjun glared at Bai Tianyu and said in a low voice, "I have conditions!"
...
On a mountain opposite the Dragon God Temple, You Longsheng and the two girls did not stand in a conspicuous place.
They stood in the trees, far from the temple, so they could observe the scene in front of it without being seen by those present.
They watched as Bai Tianyu arrived and sat down at the table to speak with Pei Wangjun, who seemed agitated at first but was quickly subdued by Bai Tianyu.
Lan Yueyi's eyes flickered, "Pei Wangjun doesn't seem to be acting. Did he offend some enemy in the Taihang Mountains and has no choice but to rely on Bai Tianyu?"
At this moment, Ding Baiyun had a different opinion, "But it could also be to allay Bai Tianyu's suspicions."
Lan Yueyi asked, "Why would you want to allay Bai Tianyu's suspicions? Could it be that he's planning to ambush Bai Tianyu?"
As soon as the words left her mouth, Lan Yueyi and Ding Baiyun's gazes fell on Ma Kongqun, who was standing behind Bai Tianyu.
Both girls were stunned, "Could it be him?"
You Longsheng smiled, "Why not? Who do you think is the person Bai Tianyu mentioned that day, the one he couldn't think of?"
"Could it be Ma Kongqun?"
As soon as Ding Baiyun finished speaking, she saw Bai Tianyu and Pei Wangjun stand up and extend their right hands, preparing to seal their agreement with a handshake.
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
"Pa!"
On the third handshake, Ma Kongqun, who was standing behind Bai Tianyu, suddenly struck, aiming a palm strike at Bai Tianyu's back.
"Bang!"
Ma Kongqun's palm landed firmly on Bai Tianyu's back, causing him to stagger forward.
The next moment, a short dagger slid out from Pei Wangjun's left sleeve, aiming straight for Bai Tianyu's heart.
But to everyone's surprise, Bai Tianyu grabbed his wrist, twisted his arm, and with a flick of his wrist, the dagger...
"Swish!"
...sliced across Pei Wangjun's neck. Bai Tianyu turned and saw Ma Kongqun, who had successfully landed a blow, retreating to the side and fleeing into the distance.
"Hall Master!"
The Shendao Hall disciples were terrified and immediately flew to Bai Tianyu's side.
The next moment, from behind the Dragon God Temple, the surrounding forests, the mountain paths below, and the mountain waist above, hundreds of black-robed figures appeared, including members of the Taihang Mountain bandits.
Among them was a tall, slender man with a sinister face. He glanced at Pei Wangjun, who was lying on the ground, clutching his neck and twitching, then turned to Bai Tianyu, "Bai Tianyu, you dare to kill our leader. You're a dead man! I, Wu Shitong, will make sure you pay for this with your blood!"
But Bai Tianyu didn't even glance at him. Instead, he looked at a black-robed figure who had emerged from behind the Dragon God Temple, "Liu Canxin, so it was you."
The black-robed figure was an elderly man in his fifties, slightly overweight, with a ruddy complexion and kind eyes. However, he was actually the second-in-command of the Demon Sect outside the border, known as Elder Liu Canxin, a formidable opponent with exceptional demonic powers.
Liucanxin's sole desire was to kill Bai Tianyu, use that prestige to lead the sect in killing Hua Wuaiya, and then lead the Demon Sect south to shock the martial arts world.
However, Bai Tianyu's martial arts were exceptionally high, to the extent that even Hua Wuaiya was not his match. Liucanxin paled in comparison to Hua, let alone when measured against Bai Tianyu.
Thus, he didn't dare to go against Bai Tianyu.
Not long ago, turmoil arose within the Demon Sect again. Hua Wuaiya's top disciple, Dugu Xiao, was killed by Bai Tianyu. A portion of the Demon Sect disciples seemed to have been pushed to their limits, and in their dissatisfaction with Hua Wuaiya, they secretly discussed how to get rid of Bai Tianyu.
This topic immediately attracted many restless Demon Sect disciples, who eagerly offered their suggestions. Poison attacks, kidnappings, threats, trap ambushes, and more were discussed, and some even suggested contacting the current target of Shendao Hall, the Taihang Mountain bandits, to collaborate.
As a result, a talented spy infiltrated the Wanmatang and discovered Ma Kongqun's dissatisfaction with Bai Tianyu, promptly reporting this information to Liucanxin.
Ma Kongqun, a traitor...
Taihang Mountain bandits, traps...
Taihang Mountains, far from the pass...
Liucanxin connected the dots. If they could lure Bai Tianyu out of Shendao Hall's territory, Ma Kongqun could ambush him. As long as they injured Bai Tianyu, Liucanxin believed he could face him, surround and attack, and kill him!
Once Bai Tianyu was dead, Bai Tianyong would be left alone, and the Demon Sect, Taihang Mountain bandits, Wanmatang, and various other powers, big and small, who had been dissatisfied with Shendao Hall over the years, could instantly dismantle it!
Therefore, Liucanxin personally went to Wanmatang to find Ma Kongqun, and the two quickly agreed on a plan to lure Bai Tianyu into the Taihang Mountains and eliminate him.
Ma Kongqun was anxious because he was certain that Bai Tianyu still trusted him greatly. However, with You Longsheng's instigation and Bai Tianyong's awakening, he feared that Bai Tianyu would also become guarded against him in the future.
He couldn't afford to wait any longer; he had to act fast and kill Bai Tianyu!
Thus, they quickly found Pei Wangjun, who also wanted to kill Bai Tianyu and unify the various bandit groups in the Taihang Mountains.
Without hesitation, Pei Wangjun agreed.
Compared to Liucanxin and Ma Kongqun, he had less reverence for Bai Tianyu. If the two hadn't come to him, he might have even taken the initiative to find Bai Tianyu.
So, when he saw that Bai Tianyu had been ambushed, he immediately drew his sword and rushed forward, only to be the first to die.
Hearing Bai Tianyu's words, Liucanxin laughed, "It's indeed this old man, Bai Tianyu. Aren't you dreaming of leading the Shendao Hall into the pass? Today, this old man will let you die within the pass. I'm sure you can also die in peace."
"Hall Master! We'll fight to the death to stop them. You hurry back to Shendao Hall!"
"Ma Kongqun is ungrateful. Hall Master, let's destroy the Wanmatang!"
Bai Tianyu pushed away the people supporting him. He staggered but straightened up again, his right hand gripping the hilt of his sword. In a stern voice, he said, "When has Bai Tianyu ever retreated from battle?"
"Well said!"
Liucanxin laughed heartily and then leaped forward. His pair of palms were as black as ink and shimmered with a metallic luster as he reached for Bai Tianyu's throat. "Then you shall die here!"
Bai Tianyu's face was pale with a reddish hue, his breathing was uneven, and his hands were unsteady, clearly indicating that he was severely injured. It was the perfect time to finish him off.
Thus, Liucanxin flew towards him with full confidence.
"Chok!"
The sword light flashed, and a head flew into the air.
