A Desperate Turn, Slaying Fei Bin

Abbess Dingyi hadn't anticipated that another Pagoda Hand, Ding Mian, would suddenly attack from the shadows.

Caught off guard, she was struck by Ding Mian's palm strike. She retreated several steps, shattering the bluestone floor tiles before she could finally stop. Blood was already trickling from the corner of her mouth.

"Master..." Yi Lin cried out in alarm, rushing forward to help Abbess Dingyi.

At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng and Fei Bin had already exchanged several palms, neither gaining an advantage. They briefly separated.

Liu Zhengfeng suppressed the surging true qi in his meridians and looked at Ding Mian, his eyes flickering. "Pagoda Hand Ding Mian."

"It is I. Second Master Liu, I trust you are well," Ding Mian said with a chuckle.

"The Alliance Leader Zuo truly thinks highly of me. To deal with me, he actually dispatched two of the Thirteen Protectors. I truly don't know whether to be happy or scared," Liu Zhengfeng said.

"Heh heh." Ding Mian merely chuckled, offering no reply.

Amidst his laughter, another person appeared – Crane Hand Lu Bai.

As soon as Lu Bai appeared, the assembled heroes were all moved.

Three Protectors!

Zuo Lengchan had actually sent three Protectors at once to deal with a single Liu Zhengfeng.

This lineup was far too extravagant.

Great Songyang Hand Fei Bin, Pagoda Hand Ding Mian, and Crane Hand Lu Bai were all renowned figures in the martial arts world.

The former was a master in the mid-stage of Minor Grandmaster, while the latter two were masters in the late-stage.

In contrast, Liu Zhengfeng was the only one on his side with a cultivation of the mid-stage Minor Grandmaster.

Facing the combined assault of the three Protectors, Liu Zhengfeng was likely in grave danger today.

Looking at Ding Mian and the other two, Liu Zhengfeng felt a wave of fear.

Three Protectors, these were the three Protectors of the Mount Song Sect.

With such a lineup, let alone dealing with Liu Zhengfeng, it was highly possible they could annihilate the entire Mount Heng sect.

"Heh heh, what Lord Su said is true. Zuo Lengchan really intends to exterminate my entire family."

Liu Zhengfeng recalled Su Chen's words from before, and a deep sense of regret welled up in his heart.

"If only I had believed Lord Su's words earlier and made preparations, I wouldn't be in this situation now."

Looking at his wife, children, and elders, who were like lambs awaiting slaughter, trapped amidst swords and blades, Liu Zhengfeng's lips curved into a bitter smile.

"I've brought this upon you."

"If I were given another chance, I would definitely heed Lord Su's words."

In this scene, Liu Zhengfeng regretted his past decisions, but unfortunately, there was no medicine for regret in this world.

Since he had already made his mistake, he would naturally have to pay the price for his actions.

With this thought, Liu Zhengfeng looked at Fei Bin and the other two. "Whatever it is, I, Liu Zhengfeng, will bear it alone. Do not trouble my family."

However, his only response was the cold laughter of Ding Mian and the other two.

The Mount Song Sect had planned for a long time, all for this day.

How could they simply let it go because of Liu Zhengfeng's words?

"There's no point in talking. Let's settle this with our fists," Fei Bin coldly rebuked, then leaped forward, engaging Liu Zhengfeng in battle.

Closely following, Ding Mian and Lu Bai also stepped forward, helping Fei Bin to surround and attack Liu Zhengfeng.

With the combined efforts of the three masters, Liu Zhengfeng was outnumbered.

In just a short period, he fell into a disadvantage.

Seeing this, Yue Buqun and the others sighed inwardly.

"It's unlikely Liu Zhengfeng will last more than five moves."

As expected, when the two sides clashed for the third move, Liu Zhengfeng was caught off guard and struck on the shoulder by a palm from Lu Bai.

At the same time, Fei Bin and Ding Mian's palm strikes also landed on him.

Instantly, Liu Zhengfeng was sent flying like a tattered sack, crashing to the ground and unable to move.

On the rooftop, Su Chen, who had been silently observing, finally made his move.

He stood up, stretched, and gripped the ring-pommel saber in his hand.

"The timing is about right. Liu Zhengfeng has been pushed to a dead end. Now, I think he'd even sell his underwear for silver to give to me," he muttered to himself, then held his saber ready.

If you find this book to be good, remember to add it to your bookshelf to avoid losing it next time.

In the courtyard, Ding Mian and the other two looked down condescendingly at Liu Zhengfeng.

"Liu Zhengfeng, you colluded with Demonic Cult Cultists and remain unrepentant. Today, I, as a Protector, will uphold the righteousness of the martial arts world and kill you."

After Ding Mian's righteous proclamation, he raised his broadsword, preparing to strike down Liu Zhengfeng.

Liu Zhengfeng's face was filled with despair. He closed his eyes, awaiting the arrival of death.

Just then, a voice suddenly rang out.

"Liu Zhengfeng, how much are you willing to pay now?"

Hearing this voice, Liu Zhengfeng's eyes snapped open, a surge of ecstasy flashing within them.

He knew this voice all too well; wasn't it the voice of that Lord Su from not long ago?

He had thought his situation was hopeless, that his family had already suffered irreparable harm.

But unexpectedly, the situation had taken a turn, and he had a chance to escape from the brink of death.

He immediately mustered his last bit of strength and shouted towards the void, "My Lord, there is still one hundred thousand taels of silver in the mansion. I am willing to offer it all, hoping that Lord Su will set aside past grievances and lend his aid."

"Good!"

This sudden turn of events startled Zhu Mian as well. He looked up at the sky and bellowed, "Who's there? How dare you play tricks here, get out!"

The next second, a cold glint shot from the roof, embedding itself in the floor about three feet in front of Zhu Mian.

Only then did Zhu Mian clearly see that it was a saber, a ring-pommel saber.

Before he could think further, a young man with black clothes and short hair gracefully descended from the roof, landing beside the ring-pommel saber.

The black-clothed, short-haired youth was Su Chen.

The moment he appeared, he drew the attention of everyone present.

"It's him," Yi Lin and Linghu Chong exclaimed simultaneously, recognizing Su Chen.

"It's that senior," behind Yue Buqun, Lin Pingzhi's eyes suddenly lit up.

Similarly, Yue Buqun, Abbess Dingyi, Daoist Tianmen, and others all looked at Su Chen with surprise.

"Black clothes, short hair, a ring-pommel saber. He's the swordsman who killed Yu Canghai and Tian Boguang. How did he end up here?"

"And judging by Liu Zhengfeng's words just now, it seems he already knows this swordsman."

"What is going on here?"

Yue Buqun and the others were filled with doubt.

Meanwhile, Zhu Mian, Lu Bai, and Fei Bin's expressions changed in unison the moment they saw Su Chen.

Wasn't this the person who had brought them endless humiliation at Tingsong Pavilion?

The thought of the shame Su Chen had inflicted upon them immediately sent the three of them into a rage.

"You still dare to show your face here? I will tear you to shreds to vent my hatred!" Fei Bin roared, then raised his broadsword and charged at Su Chen.

A cold light flashed in Su Chen's eyes, and he quickly drew the ring-pommel saber from the ground.

He unleashed his ultimate move, the Peerless Saber Art at the Grand Accomplishment stage, giving Fei Bin no chance to react.

The terrifying saber light spread out like layers of clouds, exuding a suffocating sense of dread.

Fei Bin's face changed, and he hurriedly raised his sword to block.

However, he had ultimately underestimated Su Chen's strength.

Although Su Chen was also at the mid-stage of Minor Grandmaster, his cultivation level was no different from Fei Bin's.

But it was important to remember that Su Chen cultivated the Hundun Treasure Mirror, and the quality of his true qi was more than one level higher than Fei Bin's.

Furthermore, the saber art Su Chen used was a powerful killing move like the Peerless Saber Art.

Therefore, this saber strike was by no means something that a nobody like Fei Bin could resist.

As the saber light flashed, Fei Bin's broadsword instantly snapped into two pieces.

"How is this possible!" Fei Bin was utterly horrified, but he had no chance to react.

The saber light had already struck.

"Swish."

The sound of flesh being cleaved open echoed.

A bloodstain appeared on Fei Bin's body, extending from the top of his head all the way down between his legs, splitting him into two.
