Chapter 118: A Clash of Acting Prowess
Chapter 118: A Clash of Acting Prowess
Bai Tianyu's sword was still as swift as ever, perhaps even faster than usual!
The only things fueling this strike were his rage and the powerful body that allowed him to execute it.
Bai Tianyu was uninjured!
Several experts from the Demon Sect and the Taihang Mountain bandits were shocked, then they heard Bai Tianyu say to Ma Kongqun, "Third brother, quite a performance."
Ma Kongqun was stunned beyond belief.
Facing the furious glares of the Demon Sect disciples and the Taihang Mountain bandits, Ma Kongqun felt his mind go blank.
How had things come to this?
But he had no time to ponder this now.
The leader of the Taihang Mountain bandits, Pei Wanjun, had his throat slit, and the Great Elder of the Demon Sect, Liu Canxin, had been decapitated. With both of their leaders eliminated and Bai Tianyu unharmed, Ma Kongqun knew he had to flee.
Especially after hearing Bai Tianyu's words, which clearly indicated that he had known about his betrayal all along. If that were the case, wouldn't Bai Tianyu be prepared? Wouldn't there be disciples of the Holy Sword Hall nearby?
Without a second thought, Ma Kongqun turned and ran.
"Kill him!"
"Traitor!"
Several Demon Sect disciples and Taihang Mountain bandits drew their swords and charged, only to be knocked back by Ma Kongqun's punches. He then leaped into the forest and quickly disappeared from sight.
Although Ma Kongqun was considered a younger brother to Bai Tianyu, his martial arts skills were extraordinary.
If he hadn't been skilled, he wouldn't have dared to betray Bai Tianyu, nor would he have had the confidence to lead the Wanmatang to independence.
As the events of the following twenty years would prove, Ma Kongqun was indeed a formidable figure, capable of subduing experts like Hua Mantian and Yun Zaitian, and leading the Wanmatang to dominate the region east of the mountains.
But unfortunately, the plot had changed...
Although there were still many experts among the remaining Demon Sect disciples and Taihang Mountain bandits, including a few whose martial arts rivaled his own, Ma Kongqun knew that they posed no threat to Bai Tianyu, who was uninjured and on guard.
His only option was to flee!
He abandoned the Wanmatang and ran towards the ends of the earth, to a place where Bai Tianyu would never find him!
On the other side, seeing that Bai Tianyu was outnumbered, the group of experts from the Demon Sect and the Taihang Mountain bandits, who harbored grievances against the Holy Sword Hall, gritted their teeth and unsheathed their weapons, charging towards Bai Tianyu.
At that moment, a group of Holy Sword Hall disciples in white suddenly emerged from the foot of the mountain and rushed upwards.
Around Longshen Temple, hundreds of skilled martial artists from the Jianghu engaged in a chaotic battle.
On the opposite hilltop, You Longsheng pointed at the battlefield below.
"Look at that! A brawl involving hundreds of people, not just a village feud, but a clash between martial arts masters. Now that's a spectacle!"
Ding Baiyun and Lan Yueyi couldn't help but nod in agreement.
Indeed, the members of the Holy Sword Hall, the Demon Sect, and the Taihang Mountain bandits who had been lured to Longshen Temple for this ambush and counter-ambush were no ordinary fighters.
Even the two women had never witnessed a scene like this—hundreds of martial arts masters engaged in a massive battle.
When quality falls short, make up for it with quantity.
Although they didn't get to see the famous scene of thirty top-notch experts besieging the Bai family, witnessing the Demon Sect and Taihang Mountain bandits clash with the Holy Sword Hall made the trip worthwhile for You Longsheng.
"Impressive sword skills."
"Wow, he's taking them down one by one!"
"That Demon Sect guy just threw needles! He got one of the Taihang bandits!"
"That mountain bandit seems to be using the Yandang Sect's sword techniques, and he's quite skilled. Could he be the exiled disciple, Si Konglin?"
"There are hidden dragons and crouching tigers among the Taihang Mountain bandits. Look, there's someone using the Shaolin Demon Subduing Staff!"
"Tsk, tsk, no matter how high your martial arts skill is, one slash is all it takes!"
"Bai Tianyu's knife is slow too."
"Of course, with so many people and all of them skilled, it's impossible for him to keep up his pace of taking down one person with each strike. If he could do that, he'd be a god!"
"Indeed, the martial arts skills of those from the Godly Blade Hall are also impressive."
"Those are a few elites personally trained by Bai Tianyu, all with top-notch skills."
"Why isn't Bai Tianyong here?"
"He's probably holding down the fort at the Godly Blade Hall. I reckon that while they're surrounding and attacking Bai Tianyu here, there's another group targeting the Godly Blade Hall."
"Don't forget, Wanmatang and Gongsun Duan are still outside the pass."
"The Demon Sect has suffered heavy losses this time."
"But Hua Wuqiao also took the opportunity to get rid of a bunch of subordinates who weren't loyal to him. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
"Don't take the Demon Sect Leader for a fool!"
The four of them were enjoying the show when they heard rustling in the nearby forest, and a burly man emerged—Ma Kongqun.
The four exchanged glances, surprised to bump into each other here.
"It's you!?"
As the saying goes, enemies are especially vigilant towards each other. Ma Kongqun's muddled brain suddenly cleared upon seeing his foe.
You Longsheng! All of this was his fault!
From the moment they met last year, You Longsheng had been digging a pit for him. This year, he started with ambiguous remarks and then stirred up trouble between Bai Tianyong and Gongsun Duan.
This forced Ma Kongqun to take a risky move, and now his scheme had been exposed.
Ma Kongqun's eyes turned red with hatred; he wanted to tear You Longsheng to pieces.
"Yes, it's me. How are you, Brother Ma?"
You Longsheng greeted him with a smile. "Just now, we heard from Brother Bai that you displayed excellent acting skills and directly cooperated with him to kill Pei Wanjun and Liu Canxin. That's a huge contribution. Why aren't you down there fighting side by side with the Godly Blade Hall, but instead came here?"
Ma Kongqun's chest heaved, and he felt like he was about to explode with anger. However, upon hearing You Longsheng's words, he immediately calmed down.
Ma Kongqun's eyes shifted, and the anger in them vanished instantly.
"I was tracking a Demon Sect disciple who is a disciple of Liu Canxin. His martial arts skills are quite good." Ma Kongqun scanned the surroundings as he moved closer to You Longsheng. "I was only halfway through the pursuit when the person disappeared. Brother You, have you noticed anything amiss?"
"Is that so?"
You Longsheng blinked and also turned to look around. "I didn't see anyone. Perhaps they noticed us and took a different route."
Lan Yueyi and Ding Baiyun gave Ma Kongqun strange looks.
But Ma Kongqun didn't care. After all, he and You Longsheng were not on good terms, so it was normal for these two women, who were close to You Longsheng, to look at him unfriendly.
As long as he could take down You Longsheng!
"So, it's fine that one person got away? Brother Ma, aren't you going to continue the pursuit?" You Longsheng asked.
"It's alright, he's just a junior disciple of the Demon Sect. If he ran away, let him be. I didn't expect to see you here at Fenglong Mountain, Brother You. Let's go and meet Big Brother together later." Ma Kongqun waved his hand and laughed.
"Sure, let's go down together. I also didn't expect that you had arranged to meet the Taihang Mountain bandits and the Demon Sect here for a decisive battle."
You Longsheng smiled. "If I had known earlier, I might have joined you in this battle."
Ma Kongqun laughed heartily and finally moved closer to You Longsheng. "It's not too late even now!"
The next moment, Ma Kongqun's expression turned stern, and he raised his hand to strike at You Longsheng's heart.
