Chapter 197: Famous in One Sword
Even Liu Zhengfeng didn't expect someone to help in such a situation, looking at Gu Hanyuan with gratitude.
Shi Qing was the most anxious; he truly regarded Gu Hanyuan as a future son-in-law and couldn't help but advise:
"Young Hero Gu, why must you do this?"
He saw clearly that today had nothing to do with the righteous or evil; the Songshan Sect just staged this to force Liu Zhengfeng.
"'Hero Sword' Gu Hanyuan, what do you mean by this!"
Fei Bin looked at Gu Hanyuan with some trepidation, not only because he had heard his strength was already that of a Grandmaster, but also because he had repelled the White-Board Evil Star recruited by Zuo Lengchan some time ago.
Fei Bin knew the White-Board Evil Star's strength best; anyone who could repel him was definitely not someone easy to deal with.
At the same time, Fei Bin glanced at Daoist Priest Chongxu and breathed a sigh of relief after seeing he made no move.
If the Wudang Sect were to intervene, today's matter would be truly difficult; fortunately, it appeared to be Gu Hanyuan's personal action.
He didn't dare to pin the crime of colluding with the Demon Sect on Gu Hanyuan; otherwise, the Wudang Sect would have to intervene even if they didn't want to.
This was the benefit of Gu Hanyuan's status as a Wudang disciple; otherwise, if he were slandered for colluding with the Demon Sect, it would be troublesome to explain, and it would be too beneath his dignity.
"If the Songshan Sect wants to kill Liu Zhengfeng because of a dispute over stance, I cannot interfere. But if it harms his family because of this, forgive me, but the justice in my heart cannot agree."
Gu Hanyuan looked calm, even somewhat indifferent, at the Songshan Sect members, as if Fei Bin and the others and the hundreds of disciples behind them were nothing.
"Gu Hanyuan, do you really want to go against my Songshan Sect?"
Gu Hanyuan just protected Liu Jing behind him, responding coldly.
Although Fei Bin didn't want to clash with Gu Hanyuan, the arrow was on the string and had to be fired, so he ordered again:
"Kill all of Liu Zhengfeng's family for me!"
Although the Songshan disciples obeyed the order to kill, Gu Hanyuan's sword was faster; with a series of weapons hitting the ground, the Songshan disciples holding Liu Zhengfeng's family clutched their wrists one after another.
He used the "Divine Gate Thirteen Swords," just like when he injured Wan Daping earlier.
Daoist Priest Chongxu nodded secretly upon seeing this, feeling that Gu Hanyuan's "Divine Gate Thirteen Swords" had already surpassed Yu Lianzhou, who was the best at using it in the Wudang Sect besides Zhang Sanfeng; even he would find it difficult to receive.
Fei Bin and the other two had their pupils shrink, both shocked by Gu Hanyuan's move.
Although the Songshan Sect was known as a sword sect, in reality, most of the Thirteen Taibao mainly practiced martial arts other than sword techniques.
The rescued Liu Zhengfeng family retreated behind Gu Hanyuan, gathering around Liu Jing.
Liu Jing's eyes shone, feeling that Gu Hanyuan was the greatest hero in the world.
"Gentlemen of the Songshan Sect, please stop here. I will protect Liu Zhengfeng's family today. If you are not convinced, let Zuo Lengchan come to find me; otherwise, I will go to the Songshan Sect one day to have a good talk with him."
Gu Hanyuan flicked the blood beads off the Hero Sword, his expression unchanged.
Fei Bin and the other two looked at each other, finding it difficult to proceed for a moment.
Fei Bin was the most decisive.
"Gu Hanyuan, you are too arrogant! How can Sect Master Zuo be compared to a junior like you! Since you insist on sticking your neck out today, let's see the real deal with our hands!"
Although his words sounded high-sounding, he signaled to the other two, and all three attacked simultaneously.
"Shameless!"
Abbess Dingyi, Shi Qing, Daoist Priest Chongxu, and the women all spoke out to warn Gu Hanyuan.
Even Huang Rong was worried for Gu Hanyuan.
Gu Hanyuan saw the three rushing over, not putting them in his eyes at all, and even had time to nod to those who warned him.
The three Songshan members, seeing this, were filled with anger and brought out their signature martial arts.
Gu Hanyuan held the Hero Sword and used the fifth form of the "Unexplained Sword Art," "Hiding One's Name," turning all attacks into nothingness.
The titles of the three Songshan members were "Tower-Lifting Hand," "Great Songyang Hand," and "Crane Hand," and their best skills were almost all hand techniques; they were wary of the sharpness of the divine weapon, and with Gu Hanyuan's "Hiding One's Name" defending tightly, they felt somewhat restricted for a time.
Their palm techniques were the type that were strong in head-on clashes, and at this moment, they were completely countered by Gu Hanyuan's divine Hero Sword.
The people in the arena also didn't expect that three against one would result in this.
Although the bonus of a divine weapon was indeed great, it was not invincible; otherwise, Abbess Miejue wouldn't have just fought to a draw with Dai Qisi. ===== CHAPTER 199 =====
