Chapter 330: Battle of the Heroes (Part )

"Zhang Liyu?"

Lin Pingzhi was sitting at the Beggar Gang's table. When he heard the voice, he looked over and unexpectedly saw a familiar face.

"Why is he everywhere?"

In the short time since he came to Hengshan, Lin Pingzhi had heard of Zhang Liyu's name twice. First, he rescued a disciple of the Hengshan School from the hands of the famous rapist Tian Boguang, and then he caused a big commotion in the Qun Yulou and snatched the oiran from the Jinyiwei, causing a sensation in the city.

"Daddy is absolutely right. Even if he is not a Qingcheng Sect henchman, he is not a legitimate person. He is probably after my Sword Manual of Exorcism."

After going through so much, thinking back now, in Lin Pingzhi's eyes, everyone loves the Sword Manual of Exorcism, and this former benefactor is particularly suspicious.

This person appeared in Fuzhou Prefecture that day and came to the rescue by coincidence. He then joined the Fuwei Escort Agency as a guest official. However, he suddenly disappeared on the eve of the Qingcheng Sect's action.

"The Qingcheng Sect captured my parents to torture them for the Exorcism Sword Manual, which means Yu Canghai has not yet succeeded!"

He was captured in Nanchang and learned from Pi Renqiu that the reason the Qingcheng Sect had gone to war was for the Book of the Sword of Exorcism. To be more precise, it was the internal skills of the Book of the Sword of Exorcism. As for the 72 sword moves, the Qingcheng Sect disciples had practiced them more proficiently than he did.

"Could it be possible that my family's Sword Manual of Exorcism has fallen into Zhang Liyu's hands?"

Lin Pingzhi couldn't help but feel suspicious. The Lin family's Sword Skill of Exorcism was a first-rate secret manual that everyone would covet. How could Zhang Liyu be an exception? This man was so young and had such high martial arts skills. Maybe he was practicing his own martial arts.

"Let's see what his origins are."

There were five or six hundred martial artists in the courtyard. As far as they could see, Di Xiu, the leader of the third generation of disciples of the Songshan School, was hit by a slap like thunder, leaving him half-paralyzed. Thinking of his nickname "Lightning Sword", they couldn't help but smile.

Someone laughed and said, "The Lightning Sword is really fast!"

"Where's the speed?"

"One move and you're down, you lose fast!"

The two conversations, neither loud nor soft, were hidden among the crowd and caused a lot of laughter.

This also indirectly confirms that not all the martial arts heroes present agree with the Songshan School's style of doing things, but no one takes the lead, so they are all angry but dare not speak out.

"Damn it!"

Lu Bai looked sullen, with his hands behind his back and veins bulging on his fists.

The Songshan Sect carried the banner of eliminating demons and defending righteousness, and did not hesitate to implicate women and children, killing people to establish their prestige and intimidate the heroes. This was done in one go, making the heroes feel awe and awe, and clearly established the Songshan Sect's position as the leader of the martial arts world and the 'law enforcer of righteousness'.

Of course there are people who are dissatisfied.

But as long as Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang's heads fall to the ground, the reputation of the Songshan School for being wise, decisive, and able to identify evil will be spread in the world.

The key is, this breath cannot be cut off, this power cannot be dissipated, those two people must die!

"This idiot Di Xiu is so incompetent!"

Lu Bai cursed in his heart, but his face regained its composure. He looked coldly at the man in black robe who walked out slowly. He was carrying a black bag, had a handsome face, was full of heroic spirit, and had a confidence unique to young people between his brows.

Confidence often comes from ignorance!

"Who is this, Excellency?"

"Zhang Liyu."

"Hmph, Zhang Liyu, I've never heard of you. Do you know who I am?"

"I've heard a little bit about him. He's Mr. Lu Bai, the second chief of the Songshan Sect, nicknamed the Crane Hand in the martial arts world. He likes to kill innocent people, is good at bullying women and children, and is very cunning! Am I right?"

"Hahaha~"

Lu Bai laughed and said, "Well said! I hope you won't regret your rudeness when you kneel down and beg for mercy."

Zhang Yu chuckled and said, "I just said what any conscientious person in the martial arts world would think. What is there to regret?"

Many people in the martial arts world nodded secretly after hearing this.

The reason why the right path is right is that it has chivalry in its heart!
Do something, don't do something!

In recent years, the Songshan Sect has been acting recklessly under the banner of "eliminating demons and defending morality". The cruelty of the killings and the brutality of the methods used are even no less than those of the Demon Cult. Many people dare to be angry but not to speak out.

It is difficult for outsiders to gauge whether Leader Zuo is trying to elevate his own status and consolidate his prestige, or is he serving the public interest and fighting against the almost unstoppable evil cult leader Dongfang Bubai.

Just to deal with the Demon Cult, do you have to turn yourself into a Demon Cult member first?

What is the point of eliminating demons and defending the way?

Without the support of chivalry, the Songshan Sect, Huashan Sect, Sun Moon Sect... are all just pursuing their own selfish interests. The martial arts world has become a big melting pot and it is impossible to distinguish between good and evil.

A few sober people in the world have discovered that this trend is almost irreversible.

Lu Bai sneered and cursed, "You young boy, how dare you talk about conscience? Today, all the heroes of the righteous path have gathered here to fight against the devil and defend the way of righteousness. You are talking nonsense. Are you sympathizing with the devil sect? You also attacked my Songshan sect disciples. You must be seeking revenge for your accomplices."

At this time, an elegant voice came from behind.

"Brother Lu, you are wrong!"

Lu Bai turned around and saw that it was Yue Buqun who spoke.

His heart sank. The Huashan Sect was once the leader of the Five Sacred Mountains, but was overtaken by the Songshan Sect. The sect had always been dissatisfied and there were often conflicts during the alliance meetings. Could it be that Yue Buqun was going to take this opportunity to cause trouble?
"He found a good time!"

Leader Zuo proposed the idea of ​​unifying the Five Mountains, but almost no one from the other four factions responded, and the resistance was huge. The person he wanted to kill most was not Liu Zhengfeng, but the hypocritical Yue Buqun. Unfortunately, Gentleman Sword was too cunning and he never left any evidence.

"Brother Yue, what do you think? Do you also think that my method of dealing with the Demon Cult is too cruel and brutal?"

Lu Bai glanced at Zhang Yu in front of him, then glanced at Yue Buqun on the steps behind him. He felt like he was trapped between two sides. His mind was racing as he thought about what to do next if Yue Buqun stood up for Liu Zhengfeng.

Yue Buqun stood there and smiled softly: "Brother Lu has misunderstood. The evil followers of the Demon Sect are free to be killed by anyone. This is beyond doubt. It is in line with the chivalrous code and in accordance with the laws of nature and human nature. None of the heroes present here would say no!"

Yue Lingshan stood behind Yue Buqun, with worry in her eyes.

Zhang Yu once told her that his knowledge of music was taught by an elder named Qu, who also saved his life. He must be the friend of Liu Zhengfeng who played the zither and the flute.

"If Daddy reveals Zhang Yu's identity as a demon sect, even if the people present do nothing and watch, how can he escape with the two guards and hundreds of elite disciples of the Songshan Sect..."

Yue Lingshan didn't know what else she could do, and her five fingers couldn't help but clench the Green Water Sword.

Laudeno watched coldly from the sidelines, but he understood the situation best in his heart.

He is a secret spy directly under the Left Alliance Leader. Every once in a while, he will pass on news to Songshan. The Yunyu branch altar established by Zhang Yu in Tianyue Mountain is now gradually becoming popular in southern Shaanxi, and even the power of the Demon Cult in Guanzhong is showing signs of revival.

"The secret letter sent to Songshan that day did not specify the alias Zhang Yu used. The two uncles did not know that Zhang Liyu was Zhang Yu from the Demon Sect."

Zuo Lengchan was aware of the existence of Zhang Yu in the Demon Sect, and the higher-ups at Songshan had also heard of it. However, there were no less than thirty or forty important figures in the Demon Sect, including the sect's leader, the elders who protected the sect, the left and right envoys, and the leaders of affiliated gangs. Zhang Yu, a deputy leader, was not worth Chongfu Palace's excessive efforts.

Another reason is that he has risen to prominence in the past three years. Since the Damaoling incident, the martial arts world has been generally peaceful, and no major war has occurred between good and evil. Therefore, although Zhang Yu is still considered a top figure within the Sun Moon Sect, he is not well-known in the martial arts world.

Lu Bai asked in confusion: "Senior Brother Yue, why did you say I was wrong?"

Yue Buqun sneered and said: "That's because this person does not sympathize with the Demon Cult!" After the Battle of Feifeng Bridge, he was depressed for a long time.

It was this person who attracted the Demon Sect master, who broke his pseudo-innate realm with one palm. Now Yue Buqun's internal strength has fallen to the acquired realm, and there is no hope of a breakthrough in this lifetime. Fortunately, this news is not well known in the martial arts world except for a few people closest to the Huashan Sect.

From then on, Mr. Yue could not hide his disgust for the talented young people and martial arts masters who came from behind in the world, even including his eldest disciple Linghu Chong.

"Senior Brother Yue, please stop keeping us in suspense!"

Fei Bin frowned, not knowing what Yue Buqun was up to. Judging from his expression, Yue Buqun also disliked this man, but his words seemed to be making excuses for the young man.

The martial arts heroes present were also confused. It seemed that Mr. Yue from the Huashan Sect knew Zhang Liyu, but judging from his tone, he sounded a little unfriendly. Could it be that they had a grudge against each other?
"He doesn't sympathize with the Demon Cult because... he is originally a member of the Demon Cult, the deputy head of the Dharma Protector Hall, Zhang Yu!"

"The man behind him is the notorious rapist Tian Boguang!"

"These two people...are birds of a feather."

After saying these words, Yue Buqun looked at Zhang Yu with a smile on his face. He thought to himself, "Since you have cut off my path, you will never have an easy life. No matter how talented you are in martial arts and how strong your bones are, and how you can become a Grandmaster in the future, you will die here today!"

The audience was silent.

If these words were said by the Songshan Sect, most people would not believe them. They often label people as "evil cults" and then kill them wantonly. Around Songshan, except for the Zen ancestral temple that did not care about worldly affairs, all other sects, regardless of good or evil, were swallowed up and destroyed by Zuo Lengchan in this way.

However, Yue Buqun's reputation as the "Gentleman Sword" in the martial arts world is still quite influential, and his words are highly credible.

Qu Yang shook his head slightly. He knew that Zhang Yu showed up to save him. He had already put his own life at risk, but he absolutely could not let this young friend get killed. He secretly made up his mind that when a fight broke out, he would let him go even if he died.

"Brother Yue is indeed a scholar. He likes to keep things in suspense when he speaks, but... I like it!"

Lu Bai was stunned at first, then he laughed out loud, he didn't expect that Gentleman Sword would give him such a big gift. In this way, Songshan Sect killed four birds with one stone, convicted Liu Zhengfeng of colluding with the Demon Sect, strangled two important figures of the Demon Sect, and got rid of a rapist at the same time.

Wonderful!

Master Dingyi glanced at her silly little disciple, then looked at Yue Buqun, and asked with some doubt: "Mr. Yue, is what you said true? Is he really a member of the Demon Sect?"

"Master, this matter concerns the safety of the martial arts world, how could Yue talk nonsense? This man established the Yunyu branch of the Demon Cult in Guanzhong and led his team to destroy the Suoyue Sect and Feixing Sect. Wherever he went, officials and civilians were harmed and the gentry suffered. Yue is not talented, so of course I have to eliminate this great harm for the people of Shaanxi. Half a year ago, he sneaked into Huashan to do something illegal, and I happened to discover him. If it weren't for another Demon Cult master who showed up to save him, this guy would have become a dead soul under Yue's sword!"

Yue Buqun spoke sincerely, especially in front of Zhang Liyu, so the heroes believed him to about 70%. However, their eyes towards Zhang Yu changed.

The little nun Yilin said quickly: "Master, Mr. Zhang is a good person..."

Ding Yi turned his head and scolded: "Shut up!"

The old nun did not completely believe in Yue Buqun, but under the circumstances, she could not allow the Hengshan Sect to have any connection with the Demon Cult, not even the slightest bit. The bloodstains on the steps had not yet dried.

Yue Buqun smiled and said, "Nephew, you are still young and cannot distinguish between good and evil. I can't blame you entirely. You should know that some evil cult members are beasts in human form. They often use sweet words to make friends with you and even do you some small favors to win your favor. But since they are beasts, they will eat people in the end. You must not fall into their trap."

Yue Lingshan looked strange after hearing this. She felt that her father knew about her affairs and was trying to trick her.

Ning Zhongze noticed that his daughter was acting strangely, and he sighed in his heart. He felt unsure about where to put his eyes, so he looked up at the beams above.

"Uncle Yue, it's not like that..."

Ding Yi frowned and said, "Yilin, do you really want to disobey Master's orders?"

The little nun didn't dare to speak and was so anxious that she kept crying.

Master Dingyi felt sorry for her disciple. She glanced at Yue Buqun, who was trying hard to hide his pride, and sneered, "Only Bodhisattvas can distinguish between good and evil, how can ordinary people know everything? Even among the orthodox religions, I'm afraid there are many hypocritical and sinister people."

Yue Buqun's smile froze slightly, and he felt secretly resentful in his heart!

Zhang Yu had already walked to Qu Yang's side. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time, but they didn't feel strangers. Their friendship was based on playing the zither and flute, not for profit, but pure as water and calm as a lake. However, just a word could determine life and death.

"Master Qu, you have been enjoying yourself in the martial arts world these past few years. I really envy you!"

Qu Yang sighed and said with a bitter smile: "Zhang Yu, I finally dragged you into this. You, a carp, should have crossed the Dragon Gate to see the wider rivers and seas. Why do you have to fall into the dragon's den and the tiger's den today? I am nearly sixty years old, even if I die, it doesn't count..."

Having said this, he stopped. Although he could be indifferent to life and death for the sake of friendship, he still couldn't let go of his little granddaughter.

Zhang Yu smiled and said, "When I returned to Blackwood Cliff, I had a grudge with Yang Lianting and was burdened with all kinds of ties. My life was like a reed in the wind or duckweed on the water. Master Qu was the right-hand man of the Divine Religion and had already semi-retired. When he saved me, did he ever think about my lowly position? Did he ever think about facing Yang Lianting's revenge?"

Liu Zhengfeng secretly praised in his heart that there were also many people with true character and loyalty in the Sun and Moon Sect.

Qu Yang is one.

This young man is one of them.

"Young Master Zhang, Songshan has many people. We two old men will stop Fei Bin and Lu Bai and get you out at the risk of our lives."

Qu Yang nodded and said, "This is the only way for now."

He whispered again: "Fei Yan is in the mountain temple thirty miles north of the city. I'll leave her to you, boy."

Zhang Yu shook his head slightly and said with a smile: "Master Qu, Mr. Liu, things haven't come to that point yet. Since I'm here, I won't be completely unprepared. Let's not entrust each other with anything and try to get out of here safely."

"Hasn't it time for you to reminisce about the past? If you have more to say, you can go to the underworld to talk."

Lu Bai sneered and looked at the three people.

The situation on the field is already clear. The Songshan Sect only needs to perform a good show of "capturing three thieves" in front of the righteous heroes.

Qu Yang has been famous for a long time, but he is not known for his martial arts. Liu Zhengfeng's children are still in his hands, so how can he have some fighting power? As for the newly emerged Zhang Yu, he is even more of a child and not worth mentioning.

Zhang Yu took two steps forward, looked around at the Songshan School disciples, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Lu, are you planning to use your numbers to bully the few?"

Lu Bai sneered: "Using numbers to bully the few? To deal with you? There's no need for that."

Zhang Yu nodded and said, "Crane Hand, you really have some generosity. In that case, why don't we fight three times? If we win, the Songshan Sect will leave Hengshan City, okay?"

Lu Bai laughed and said, "You are all mortals. How can I make a deal with a corpse?"

"However, I can satisfy you by fighting you alone and letting you die in my hands first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Lu Bai suddenly stepped forward, his body like a crane, and after spreading his wings a few times, he pressed in front of Zhang Yu, and used his right palm to hit him in the face with a "gentle breeze on the face". Zhang Yu stepped back to avoid it, but saw that his left hand's five fingers were gathered together, shaped like a bird's beak, and pecked at his waist with a gust of wind that broke through the air.

"The right palm is empty, the left hand is real. So this is the Crane Hand. It's really vicious!"

Zhang Yu sneered, but he could see through Lu Bai's strengths and weaknesses. This man was also a Hou Tian Jing, and had a great reputation, but he probably became famous by riding on the coattails of the Songshan School. His martial arts skills were far inferior to Mu Gaofeng, who was self-taught.

"Oh!"

Zhang Yu did not retreat but moved forward, his right hand as fast as lightning, instantly locking onto the "bird's beak" that actively came towards him.

"Not good! I underestimated him. He actually has such strength. I should have let Fei Bin come."

When masters fight, the difference between them is just a matter of millimeters.

Dodging the "gentle breeze on the face" could be considered luck, but the "crane strike" was Lu Bai's famous skill, but Zhang Yu easily caught his wrist and dissolved his true energy. This shows that the opponent is not inferior to himself in terms of internal strength or palm techniques.

Lu Bai was completely panicked.
