Sunflower Shows Its Might (3)
The situation on the scene took many unexpected turns. No one expected that at this crucial moment, Fei Bin, the Great Songyang Hand, would arrive to disrupt things. Some astute people, seeing Fei Bin's fierce expression, knew that something had changed.
As expected, when Fei Bin revealed the relationship between Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, an elder of the Demonic Sect, the crowd erupted in uproar.
At this moment, Li Wei noticed the expressions on the faces of the various factions. Mentioning the Demonic Sect basically elicited disgust from everyone. In fact, as soon as they heard the words "Demonic Sect," they would look like they were acting on behalf of Heaven. In Li Wei's view, this was simply hypocritical.
Especially Yue Buqun, whose righteous and awe-inspiring demeanor almost made Li Wei vomit.
"Senior Brother Liu, I think there must be more to this than meets the eye. Qu Yang, as an elder of the Demonic Sect, must have done all sorts of evil deeds. Have you been bewitched by him?" Yue Buqun said with a look of grief and indignation.
Liu Zhengfeng sighed. He was a peaceful person and not a liar, especially when it came to his closest friends.
"Brother Qu and I share similar personalities and a love for music, which is why we became friends. This has nothing to do with good or evil, so please don't bring it up again."
Fei Bin then burst into laughter and said coldly, "Absurd! That demonic sect kills people without mercy. Every member of our righteous sect has the right to kill them. Senior Brother Liu, what have you done? You've made friends with that evil cult. Alliance Leader Zuo is quite angry. However, considering that Senior Brother Liu might have been deceived by that evil cult, as long as you kill Qu Yang and take his head, our Five Sacred Sword Sect will let bygones be bygones. You will still be my Senior Brother Liu."
"Yes, Senior Brother Fei is absolutely right. Senior Brother Liu, what friendship are you talking about with that demonic cultist? Does he alone not have as deep a bond as the brothers of the Five Sacred Sword Sect?" Yue Buqun added fuel to the fire from the side.
Immediately, a chorus of words of comfort and reassurance rose from the surrounding area.
Liu Zhengfeng sighed deeply, his expression resolute. "Brother Qu is my closest friend. I absolutely cannot kill him."
"Hello, hello," Fei Bin's expression changed several times, but he took out a small flag with the words "Alliance Leader's Order" embroidered on it. "Alliance Leader Zuo has ordered that Liu Zhengfeng, as a disciple of Mount Heng, has colluded with demonic cult members, and his actions are contrary to our righteous path. You are hereby ordered to reveal the location of Qu Yang and go to Mount Song with him to receive the Left Alliance Leader's punishment."
"Yes, Senior Brother Liu, if you can't bring yourself to do it, just tell me the whereabouts of Qu Yang, and I, Yue, will be willing to kill that fiend for you," Yue Buqun said, walking over and staring at Liu Zhengfeng.
To everyone's surprise, Liu Zhengfeng shook his head, gave a bitter smile, and remained silent.
At this moment, Liu Zhengfeng and his family were also led out by the disciples of Mount Song. Fei Bin grinned maliciously, grabbed Liu Zhengfeng's youngest son, and said, "Nephew, tell me, where is Qu Yang?"
"Don't tell!" Liu Zhengfeng was furious when he saw Fei Bin using his family as a threat. He was about to rush forward, but Fei Bin forced him back with a palm strike.
Fei Bin's skill was superior to Liu Zhengfeng's. With this palm strike, Liu Zhengfeng's mouth was bleeding, indicating that he had suffered internal injuries.
His youngest son was terrified, his face pale and tears streaming down his face, but he didn't say anything. Seeing this, Fei Bin said coldly, "The whole family has been bewitched by the Demonic Sect. What's the point of keeping such people around?" With that, he pinched the child's throat with his fingers, and with a snap, the child died on the spot.
Seeing this, Liu Zhengfeng's chest heaved violently, and he was on the verge of collapse, yet he still refused to reveal Qu Yang's whereabouts.
"Since Liu Zhengfeng remains obstinate and unrepentant, he is aiding and abetting evil. Disciples of the Five Sacred Sword Sect, heed my command! Liu Zhengfeng has colluded with the demonic sect's evil followers; his crime deserves death..."
Liu Zhengfeng swayed, already knowing that Fei Bin had probably made preparations. It was absolutely impossible for him to reveal Qu Yang's whereabouts, but if he didn't, it seemed that he, and even the dozen or so members of the Liu family, wouldn't survive today.
In an instant, Liu Zhengfeng seemed to have aged more than ten years.
Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng still wouldn't speak, Fei Bin was about to continue killing the Liu family when a camel-shaped sword, accompanied by a gust of wind, slammed towards Fei Bin.
At the same time, a voice suddenly rang out.
"He who kills will be killed in return."
When Fei Bin saw the camel sword that suddenly appeared, a cold smile appeared on his lips. He was called the Great Songyang Hand for a reason. Instantly, he drew a broad-bladed longsword from his back and held it in front of him.
"Hmph, break!" It was that same voice, like a thunderclap, that rang in Fei Bin's ears. Before he could react, the camel sword struck his broadsword.
With a crisp metallic clang, Fei Bin felt as if he had been struck by a raging bull. His massive body suddenly lost its balance, and he stumbled through the ground more than a dozen times, each step creating a deep crater and shattering the floorboards. He barely managed to regain his footing, but then felt a rush of heat to his chest and spat out a mouthful of blood.
It took him a long time to suppress the feeling of tightness in his chest.
"Which senior made the move?" Fei Bin was a figure of some importance. He sensed a powerful and domineering internal force from that sword strike. The one who could unleash such a sword must be a master who had cultivated internal energy for many years.
Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to call him a senior. However, the surrounding heroes all looked at the camel-shaped sword that had fallen to the ground with extremely interesting expressions.
Who else but Li Wei could have thrown that sword?
Fei Bin's expression changed several times as he watched the hunchback slowly emerge.
"Northern Frontier Camel... Mu Gaofeng?" His tone was filled with disbelief. He couldn't believe that he had been knocked back more than ten steps by a single sword strike from such a third-rate martial arts master.
"I never expected you to be so ruthless, not even sparing a child." A murderous aura emanated from Li Wei's face beneath his straw hat. He hadn't expected Fei Bin to suddenly kill someone, and by the time he reacted, the child was already dead.
Seeing that Liu Zhengfeng was already injured and might get into trouble because of his family, they acted in advance.
According to Li Wei's plan, he would wait for Qu Yang to appear before making his move, which would greatly increase his chances of escaping with Liu Zhengfeng.
However, having gained a full understanding of the Sunflower Divine Skill, Li Wei decided to take the risk and make a move. The result was very satisfying. He threw the Camel Sword with all his might and successfully repelled Fei Bin.
Behind him, Lin Pingzhi looked on with admiration. He hadn't expected to have such a powerful backer this time. If he learned the martial arts of this Senior Mu, wouldn't his revenge be within reach?
Fei Bin was unsure of his own thoughts at that moment. Clearly, this Northern Frontier Camel was even more formidable than rumored. After a long pause, he spoke in a slightly conciliatory tone, "Master Mu, this is a matter within our Five Sacred Sword Sect. You've lived in the borderlands for so long; perhaps you shouldn't get involved..."
Before he could finish speaking, Fei Bin saw a dark shadow flash before his eyes, followed by a crisp slap. His cheek immediately stung with pain; he had been slapped in public.
"Bah! Isn't it just because of Zuo Lengchan that you're showing off your power here? The Five Sacred Sword Sect, you're publicly slaughtering children. If this is what your Five Sacred Sword Sect does, I'll storm your mountain gates one by one and kill you all. What do you think?" At this moment, Li Wei's back was no longer hunched, but he still didn't take off his straw hat.
These words were quite arrogant, but strangely, no one present dared to say a word. On the one hand, they were intimidated by the formidable strength that Li Wei had just displayed, and on the other hand, Fei Bin's act of killing Liu Zhengfeng's youngest son in front of everyone was truly shameful to them.
The Shaolin and Mount Heng Sect disciples' faces were already slightly flushed. In their eyes, even someone from the desolate northern frontier knew to step forward at this time, while they, as monks, had not stopped Fei Bin's atrocities.
Of course, some members of the Five Sacred Sword Sect wanted to step forward, but were held back by the more senior members of their sect. Before figuring out the purpose of the 'Northern Frontier Camel,' they were advised not to act rashly, lest they invite unwarranted disaster.
Stunned by the slap, Fei Bin felt a burning pain on his cheek, but even more painful was his pride. As a well-known figure in the underworld, being slapped like that drove him into a frenzy.
"You hunchback, how dare you insult me! I'll kill you!" The broadsword in his hand swept across with a whoosh, intending to cut Li Wei in half at the waist.
Unfortunately, his life was destined to continue in tragedy.
After Li Wei channeled his true energy into one hand, he swiftly pressed it against Fei Bin's greatsword, actually using his thumb and the other four fingers to grip the blade. Under the Sunflower Divine Skill, the broadsword was blocked by Li Wei in this incredible way. Fei Bin wanted to change his move, but then he saw a dark shadow flash by.
He thought to himself that he was in trouble, but then he felt a slap on his other cheek. The slap was so hard that Fei Bin felt dizzy and fell to the ground.
The crowd erupted in uproar.
Is this still Fei Bin, the second-best fighter of the Songshan Sect, Fei Bin Great Songyang Hand?
To be slapped twice in public, without being able to fight back, is something no one would believe, no matter how much they talked about it. But now, this unbelievable scene is unfolding before our eyes, and we can't help but believe it.
For a moment, the disciples of the Five Sacred Sword Sect who had just wanted to stand out suddenly felt their faces go numb, and they were all secretly glad that they hadn't been the ones to stick their necks out.
This Mu Gaofeng must have practiced some kind of evil technique, his movements are so fast. Those two slaps were as fast as lightning, no wonder Fei Bin of the Great Songyang Hand was powerless to resist. Even if the other famous masters present regarded themselves as Fei Bin, they would know very well that they would not be able to avoid those slaps.
That's terrifying.
Even Li Wei himself hadn't expected this outcome. The Sunflower Manual not only possessed astonishing internal energy, but it also granted him lightning speed. Recalling the descriptions of Dongfang Bubai in the novels, who was also swift and quick, it turned out that the Sunflower Manual had such extraordinary abilities.
This put Li Wei at ease.
"Fei Bin, what else do you have to say? If you're still not convinced, then let's practice some more?" Li Wei's words already carried a hint of teasing.
Fei Bin realized at this moment that Mu Gaofeng's martial arts skills were unfathomable, and it seemed unlikely that he would achieve his goal today.
He wasn't giving up, but he didn't know what else to do. Just then, he suddenly saw an unusually young face under the straw hat. Although it was only a fleeting glimpse, he was greatly shocked and immediately shouted to the crowd in the hall, "This person isn't Mu Gaofeng!"
