The Plan to Kill Qu Yang Was Set by Liu Zhengfeng
Lu Lianrong has an annoying personality and mediocre skills.
However, his skill level is only average compared to top-tier figures in the martial arts world.
After all, he was a member of the same generation as Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng of the Mount Heng Sect, and he was quite proficient in the Mount Heng Swordplay.
The most famous Mount Heng Swordplay Returning Wind Falling Goose Sword, the Ever-Changing Mount Heng Cloud and Mist Thirteen Styles, and the Five Divine Swords of Mount Heng. Although their essentials differ, the complex and unpredictable sword moves are consistent among them.
Mount Heng Swordplay is known for its lightness, elegance, and unpredictability, and its sword moves are quite complex.
Their longswords were also specially made, long and thin, especially the Mo Da sword, which was so thin that it could be hidden inside Erhu a two-stringed bowed instrument).
The swordsmanship, combined with the iron sword and Lu Lianrong's decades of accumulated skill, was truly dazzling and intricate, with sword light so dazzling that the iron sword was impossible to discern.
However, Ji Boying, shrouded in sword light, remained calm and unhurried, using only two slender fingers to probe into the sword light that could sever tendons and bones.
It may seem like an ant trying to shake a tree, but it only lasts for a fleeting moment.
The dazzling sword light, like fireworks, vanished in an instant.
The swordplay, which flowed as smoothly as water, came to an abrupt halt.
The onlookers were all amazed.
Those who harbored hostility towards Ji Boying harbored even greater resentment in their hearts.
Lu Lianrong was also greatly surprised, and a cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He circulated his internal energy, but he couldn't budge the iron sword in his hand even an inch from between Ji Boying's two fingers.
The Mount Heng Swordplay, as nimble as a serpent, was easily clamped down on by Ji Boying with a mere pinch.
The long, thin iron sword instantly lost all its power.
"Uncle Lu, it seems your character isn't very good, and your swordsmanship is also sparse. If Mr. Mo Da and Uncle-Master Liu were to make a move, I would definitely not be able to withstand this sword strike."
Ji Boying made a sarcastic remark about Lu Lianrong, while subtly giving face to Mo Da, Liu Zhengfeng, and the Mount Heng Sect.
Liu Zhengfeng and his fellow disciples and apprentices were all pleased to hear this.
Those present were all skilled martial artists; who could fail to see that Ji Boying had handled Lu Lianrong's sword strike with ease, so how could he not have handled the sword moves of Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng?
Among so many heroes present, although Lu Lianrong's skills were not low, there were quite a few who were better than him. Defeating Lu Lianrong was not difficult, but finding his blade amidst the dense sword light and accurately clamping it so that he could not resist was much more difficult. This was an overwhelming advantage.
Even Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng, who were thoroughly familiar with the Mount Heng Swordplay, could not do it.
Ji Boying said this to express the humility of a younger generation and to save face for the Mount Heng Sect.
Anyone who understood the meaning behind those words would nod in agreement.
The Old Master Xia from Zhengzhou couldn't help but sigh as he looked at his sons-in-law. It was all for the sake of bringing honor to the family and ensuring the continuation of the family business. His daughters had chosen these sons-in-law, who could be considered as talented individuals selected from among the crowd.
But look at Ji Boying in front of him. The sons-in-law he used to be quite satisfied with are now all like dirt on the ground. One is in the sky and the other is on the ground. They are incomparable. They can only envy the Mount Hua Sect.
Judging from his skill alone, he is definitely above Mo Da.
At such a Lightness Skill have already surpassed those of some of the Sect Leader Yue. Moreover, he is so eloquent and understands the ways of the martial arts world. He is truly a perfect successor.
"You, you, you... No matter how high your kung fu is, you can't turn black into white! I saw Liu Zhengfeng and that Demonic Cult Qu Yang playing the flute and zither with great pleasure. I saw it with my own eyes. There's no doubt about it."
Lu Lianrong angrily drew his sword forcefully while shouting at Ji Boying.
He truly felt extremely wronged.
Although he has a foul mouth and is not likable, he is still a member of the Mount Heng Sect. Although he is close to the Songshan Sect, he is still a member of the Five Great Mountains Sword Sects. Liu Zhengfeng, on the other hand, has directly colluded with Qu Yang of the Demonic Cult Qu Yang.
In comparison, I should be the protagonist who endures hardship and upholds justice, not the one who suffers. How come I look like a clown now!
Faced with Lu Lianrong's anger, Ji Boying simply smiled and gently twisted the fingers that were gripping Lu Lianrong's sword.
He twisted the thin, slender iron sword into a pretzel shape.
With a slight flick of his finger, a surge of Purple Mist True Qi flowed along the sword, directly knocking Lu Lianrong's hand away.
Lu Lianrong dropped his longsword and staggered back a few steps to dissipate the internal force. He dared not be arrogant anymore and stayed by Ding Mian's side.
Having lost Lu Lianrong's control, Ji Boying flicked his finger, sending the twisted longsword to the ground. The resilient sword bounced wildly like a spring, gleaming brightly.
Such nonchalance, so composed and dignified, is truly captivating.
In contrast, Lu Lianrong and the Songshan Sect members appear to be villains who highlight the protagonist.
"Even with superb kung fu skills and natural talent, one cannot act with impunity in the martial arts world. A person cannot stand without integrity. When you walk in the martial arts world, you must abide by the rules of the martial arts world and uphold the spirit of chivalry."
"Even if you can use your martial arts skills to fool the seniors in the martial arts world, you cannot change the fact that Liu Zhengfeng colluded with the Demonic Cult!"
Ding Mian to remain calm and then reprimanded him.
Lu Bai also chimed in from the side.
"That's exactly right! Even if you kill us all with your martial arts skills, you can't silence the gossip! Liu Zhengfeng, why don't you hand over Qu Yang?"
The Songshan Sect's strength is truly astonishing, and everyone is wondering whether Liu Zhengfeng is really colluding with the Demonic Cult Sect. What exactly happened?
Thousands of eyes were fixed on Liu Zhengfeng, who looked like a middle-aged gentleman.
Liu Zhengfeng took two steps forward, exchanged a smile with Ji Boying, and then casually cupped his hands in greeting to the crowd.
According to Ji Boying's arrangements, a set of explanations had already been prepared.
Although it was a lie, although it was a deception, if Ji Boying hadn't made preparations beforehand, his entire family of women and children would probably have been captured and their fates uncertain. Faced with the malice of others wanting to wipe out his entire family, Liu Zhengfeng was especially concerned about this small moral flaw at this moment.
"Hahahaha, I don't know where these senior brothers from the Songshan Sect got their information, and what can a single witness prove?"
"If you are asking about Qu Yang, the elder of the Demonic Cult, then I absolutely cannot hand him over now."
The onlookers felt a chill run down their spines.
Being unable to hand it over and being unwilling to hand it over are two different things; Liu Zhengfeng really does have ties to Qu Yang.
"That Demonic Cult Sect Elder Qu Yang has already been ambushed and killed by my scheme, Liu Zhengyang. His bones have been crushed to dust and his body has been completely destroyed. It would be too much for me to hand him over."
"What? Qu Yang is dead? That's impossible!"
The bodyguards from the Songshan Sect and the Golden-Eyed Crow all looked incredulous and unwilling to believe it.
How could Qu Yang die?
Was the plan to kill Qu Yang devised by Liu Zhengfeng?
