Chapter 93: The Might of the Master of Shendao Hall
Chapter 93: The Might of the Master of Shendao Hall
The musician from Longxi gripped the handle of the Heavenly King's Blade, his hand trembling uncontrollably.
Bai Tianyu remained silent, but Ma Kongqun beside him sneered, "If you value your life, it's best to scram."
The musician's eyes widened in fury, yet he couldn't bring himself to draw the blade.
This was the man who had single-handedly infiltrated the enemy's lair and slashed Xiao Ao with his sword. Yet, in the face of Bai Tianyu, he didn't even have the courage to unsheathe his weapon.
Some people have mild-mannered personalities, hiding their true strength. Their prowess remains unknown until they reveal their martial arts skills, such as the Elder of Heaven's Mystery and Li Xunhuan.
Others exude a domineering aura, their power evident to anyone who lays eyes on them. The more skilled they are, the more profound this impression, like Shangguan Jinhong and the man before them, Bai Tianyu.
The musician from Longxi was no weakling, which was precisely why he could sense the terror that was Bai Tianyu. His body's instinct told him that if he drew his sword, he would die.
However, his pride kept him from letting go of the hilt until...
Bai Tianyu withdrew his gaze in disdain.
Finally, the musician from Longxi broke down. He let out an involuntary roar, turned, and sprinted out the door. As he ran, he couldn't help but dry heave, and as soon as he burst out of Peng Jiabao, he began to vomit.
Humiliation, anger, fear, relief...
The experts present knew that if this man couldn't overcome his current mental state, he might as well be crippled for life.
Chu Xiangyu and Qin Lei, who had come with the musician, were frozen in place, unable to fathom that such a formidable person could exist in this world. Meanwhile, Taohua Niangzi gazed at Bai Tianyu with dazzling, admiring eyes.
Ma Kongqun turned to look at the two of them and snorted derisively, "What 'Heavenly King's Ghost-Slaying Blade,' what 'Five Tigers' Door-Closing Blade,' they're all useless."
At these words, not only Chu Xiangyu and Qin Lei but even the Peng family members changed their expressions.
"How formidable!" Ding Chengfeng said gravely, "I never expected such a figure to appear outside the pass."
Ding Baiyun also nodded, asking solemnly, "That Liang fellow has extraordinary martial arts skills, yet he didn't even dare to draw his sword. Could his skills surpass those of Guo Songyang?"
"You can't compare them like that," said You Longsheng. "Li Xunhuan still looks like a scholar. Anyone would dare to draw their blade against him. Besides, Guo Songyang isn't the type to show off either."
"Hmm?"
Bai Tianyu suddenly turned around and looked at You Longsheng, "You know Li Xunhuan?"
What keen ears!
You Longsheng and his companions were at least ten meters away from Bai Tianyu, and they hadn't been speaking loudly.
Bai Tianyu's sudden turn, his eyes flashing with divine light, caused Ding Chengfeng and Ding Baiyun to instinctively grip their sword hilts.
"Yes, I know him."
You Longsheng, however, was unfazed. He nodded and then added, "We have a bond forged in life and death. He said that as long as I mentioned his name outside the pass, I could get a drink from the disciples of Shendao Hall."
Bai Tianyu's figure flashed, and he appeared beside You Longsheng, his eyes burning with intensity as he asked, "Where is he now?"
"I don't know," You Longsheng replied. "He disappeared after leaving Shaolin Temple."
Bai Tianyu's eyes flickered, and then he noticed You Longsheng's sword, "Are you You Longsheng?"
You Longsheng's eyebrows rose, "You know me?"
Bai Tianyu smiled, patting You Longsheng's shoulder, "Of course, I know you. You almost cleared Li Xunhuan's name in that damn Xingyun Manor, and on the way, you teamed up with Li Xunhuan to kill Yiku and the Five Poison Boys.
In my opinion, Li Xunhuan was too soft-hearted. If I had accompanied him into the pass, I would have slaughtered everyone in Xingyun Manor. With the accusers dead, who would dare to slander him?"
You Longsheng nodded, "Luckily you weren't there."
Bai Tianyu narrowed his eyes, "What do you mean?"
"Li Xunhuan never blamed Long Xiuyun from start to finish, and he still loved Lin Shi'er in his heart. If you had killed them both, what would have become of Li Xunhuan?"
Yu Longsheng was left speechless. "You're such a good friend of Li Xunhuan..."
"Of course, I am," Bai Tianyu agreed, patting Yu Longsheng's shoulder again. "Since you're a friend of Li Xunhuan, you're naturally my friend, too. Come by Shendao Hall sometime, and I'll treat you to a drink!"
Only then did Peng Yue find the opportunity to step forward and greet Bai Tianyu. "Greetings, Hall Master Bai."
Bai Tianyu nodded. "The Peng family's Five Tigers' Door-Closing Blade has been passed down for hundreds of years. It's quite something."
Peng Yue stiffened at his words, unsure if Bai Tianyu was praising or belittling them.
At that moment, Taohua Niangzi, supporting Qin Lei, arrived at the entrance of Peng Jiabao with Chu Xiangyu. She turned around, her eyes flickering towards Bai Tianyu, and called out coquettishly, "Hero Bai, Lord Peng, we bid you farewell."
The group turned around, and Peng Yue cupped his hands, instructing his disciples, "See them out!"
Bai Tianyu, however, caught the flirtatious wink Taohua Niangzi threw his way. His eyebrows lifted slightly as he returned her smile with a casual laugh, his deep gaze and carefree demeanor causing Taohua Niangzi's heart to skip a beat.
...
Although Peng Dapeng, Peng Chuan, and Peng Guang were all injured, Peng Yue had ultimately won the duel against the Five Tigers Manor of Guanzhong. If they wanted to provoke the Peng family again, it would be at least a decade before they could attempt it.
Thus, everyone in Peng Jiabao was in high spirits. A feast was prepared, and Bai Tianyu and Ma Kongqun were invited into the main hall.
Bai Tianyu's journey into the pass and his travels through the Shanxi martial arts world were all part of his plan to expand Shendao Hall's influence and make powerful connections. He intended to venture deeper into the Central Plains and make the name of Shendao Hall resound throughout the land.
Shangguan Jinhong had instructed Jinqian Gang to walk a fine line and avoid infringing on the interests of major powers, and Bai Tianyu was no fool. Thus, he had set his sights on the Taihang Mountain bandits.
Soon after entering the pass last year, he had displayed the heads of the Yanmen Three Evils at Yanmen Pass, and this year, he had challenged the eighteen villages of Taihang Mountain, beheading their leader, Zhang Meng.
At the same time, he had consecutively paid respects to the renowned martial arts families of Shanxi. With his formidable blade technique, almost no one could withstand three moves from him, and the name "Bai Family's Divine Blade" soon spread throughout the northern martial arts world.
Shendao Hall, with Taihang Mountain as its base, extended its influence to various places in Shanxi and Hebei, and its reputation began to grow.
Guo Wei, who had just defeated Peng Yue and earned the title of "Divine Blade," hadn't even had the chance to savor his newfound fame before losing the title once more.
Because the Divine Blade Guo Wei couldn't withstand a single move from Bai Tianyu's divine blade!
At this moment, Peng Yue also witnessed the might of Bai Tianyu, acknowledging that he was no match for him. Thus, when Bai Tianyu mentioned a collaboration between Shendao Hall and the Peng family, Peng Yue readily agreed.
"Good! Peng, you're a man of your word!" Bai Tianyu laughed heartily. "Rest assured, with the Peng family's collaboration with Shendao Hall, the fame of the Five Tigers' Door-Closing Blade will shake the entire martial arts world, and I will never let the Peng family suffer!"
Peng Yue forced a smile. "I trust you on that."
Although they were in the main hall of Peng Jiabao, it felt as if they were in Shendao Hall's territory. Bai Tianyu's overwhelming presence seemed to suffocate the Peng family members.
Yu Longsheng shook his head in amazement. If Bai Tianyu were in the modern world, he definitely wouldn't be able to enter politics, but he would undoubtedly be a top business magnate. Compared to the top female publicist, Taohua Xianzi, he was on a whole other level.
It could be said that talented individuals, given the right conditions, could achieve great things in any environment, but different circumstances would influence their outcomes. At the very least, Bai Tianyu probably wouldn't have died in the modern world... right?
As for here...
Yu Longsheng glanced at Ma Kongqun. With me here, there's no way Ding Baiyun will succeed this time. Do you still dare to conspire with outsiders and plot against Bai Tianyu?
