~9 min read 1,631 words

"Why don't we join forces to kill Lu Li!

You take the music score and capture Qu Feiyan, we kill people and make arrests; everyone gets what they need."

"As for the accounts between the Songshan Sect and the Sun Moon Holy Cult, there is no rush for the moment."

Fei Bin's voice was cold and low, yet as it fell into the ears of the crowd, it was like a thunderclap!

The Songshan Sect, head of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, had actually proposed joining forces with the Sun Moon Holy Cult!

Lu Bai stood frozen on the spot, subconsciously speaking out: "Junior Brother Fei!

We..."

Fei Bin did not wait for him to finish, directly cutting off his voice: "Senior Brother Lu, my left hand, and the reputation of our Songshan Sect all depend on tonight's battle."

"If it weren't for Lu Li obstructing us, how could we have ended up like this!

As long as we kill him, we won't suffer any losses."

At this moment, Fei Bin looked demonic, even more ferocious than Tong Baixiong.

Fei Bin's words were like a red-hot iron block thrown into water; the crowd instantly exploded.

Many people's first reaction was even: Did I hear that wrong?!

The Songshan Sect's Great Protector Fei Bin was inviting the Sun Moon Holy Cult's Elder Tong Baixiong to join forces, and the person they were joining forces against was actually a disciple of the Huashan Sect!

They could hardly describe what was happening before their eyes—it was simply absurd.

After Fei Bin spoke, Lu Bai, Sha Tianjiang, and the others fell silent.

They knew that they were all in the same boat.

In fact, they even vaguely felt in their hearts that Fei Bin's proposal was feasible.

As long as they killed Lu Li and everyone in the Liu Mansion, no one would know about this matter.

As for the Sun Moon Holy Cult spreading this news, they were not worried at all.

Which righteous sect hadn't been slandered by the Demonic Cult? They themselves had even disguised themselves as the Demonic Cult to do evil deeds!

(Cross this sentence out.

) And Tong Baixiong, after experiencing initial shock and suspicion, did not immediately speak to refute it; looking at his expression, he seemed to be truly considering the feasibility of this matter!

Seeing that Tong Baixiong did not refuse, Liang Fa's heart sank to the bottom once again.

For experts of the righteous and evil paths to unite, it was simply shameless!

"Second Senior Brother, go.

I will hold them off for you; as long as you can escape today's encirclement, you can avenge me in the future."

"Senior Brother, you are a rare talent of our Huashan; as long as you live, you will surely become a supreme expert in the future.

For me, a junior brother, to be able to experience tonight's battle with you, I have no regrets even in death."

Beside him, Xiang Danian and Liu Jing also stepped forward.

"Indeed, Young Hero Lu, we will keep your kindness to our Liu Mansion in our hearts.

If there is an afterlife, we are willing to go through fire and water for Young Hero Lu."

"If you don't leave now, you might really die here."

Liang Fa and the others had already cast aside thoughts of life and death, simply because no one could believe that Lu Li could survive under the combined forces of experts from both the righteous and evil paths.

Lu Li could feel Liang Fa's sincerity, so he smiled.

With a gentle smile, Lu Li patted Liang Fa on the shoulder.

"No matter.

You all retreat to the back, stay a little further away."

"This sword of mine will be very strong."

Having said that, Lu Li turned his head to look at Fei Bin, Tong Baixiong, and the others.

His gaze shifted instantly, sharp and indifferent.

"Don't waste time, come at me together."

Having said that, Lu Li took a step forward and held his sword horizontally across his chest.

Seeing this scene, Liang Fa and the others were stunned.

Lu Li had actually taken the initiative to say he would fight experts from both the righteous and evil paths alone with one sword!

A thousand words flashed through the minds of the crowd, but they didn't know what to say.

They could not yet express their shock like people of later generations, who could use the word 'damn'.

"Too arrogant!

But to have the courage to say such things makes us admire him."

"Is your senior brother always this cool?"

Liang Fa shook his head, then nodded again.

It seemed he had always been this cool... Since Senior Brother said to let him retreat,

he would retreat.

Liang Fa took a deep look at Lu Li and stepped back.

Meanwhile, Fei Bin, Tong Baixiong, and the others were as if facing a formidable enemy.

They felt a terrifying sense of danger from Lu Li.

"Finding life in death, this is what a swordsman is; I feel my blood boiling..."

"How could we, as swordsmen, shrink back?"

Not knowing who it was, someone was shocked by Lu Li's actions and walked directly to Lu Li's side with a sword, intending to fight side-by-side with him.

But the next moment.

Lu Li's figure suddenly vanished from where he stood.

A sword radiance abruptly emerged, and a terrifying sword light exploded in an instant, slashing toward Fei Bin and the others!

The few swordsmen who had just walked to Lu Li's side were also caught in the wake of this terrifying sword strike.

Everyone's hair stood on end, and they retreated violently.

Two of them retreated too slowly; their clothes were suddenly slashed with several sword marks, and feeling their breathing hitch, they actually spat out blood!

As for Fei Bin, who faced this sword strike head-on, he only felt as if a Sword Mountain stood before his eyes!

Every blade of grass and every tree on that mountain, every single rock, was carved by incomparably violent Sword Qi.

Even his heart felt a moment of trance, feeling that the Sword Mountain formed by this sword radiance was very familiar, just like—Huashan!

This sword strike was fast to the extreme, and also strange and perilous to the extreme; no one could possibly keep up with such an ultimate sword strike.

Those with weaker cultivation could not even manage to defend!

"Thump"

"Thump"

Two heads hit the ground, emitting two dull sounds.

And this was merely the beginning.

Dull sounds followed one after another, each one striking at the hearts of the crowd; even a killing star like Tong Baixiong felt his heart turn cold.

Wherever Lu Li went, heads fell to the ground!

"Draw swords!"

Someone shouted loudly, and all the men in black drew their weapons at once, but this sword radiance before them possessed too much might and was too fast.

Before their swords could even be thrust out, they were swallowed by the surging power.

Rumble!

The sword light streaked across the night, actually emitting a roar like Thunder and Lightning or a mountain collapse.

Facing this sword strike, Fei Bin had already fallen into endless madness.

"Why? No, by what right can he unleash such a sword strike?"

"It was he who ruined me, it was he who ruined the Songshan Sect; it should be me destroying him, destroying Huashan!"

He unleashed his entire body's True Qi without reservation, and blood spurted from his wounds, yet he paid no heed, only seeking to block Lu Li's sword strike!

Beside him, Lu Bai felt a trace of regret flash through his eyes.

"Damn it."

"Today's matter cannot be accomplished, but now, I can only fight to the death."

He had never imagined that a second-generation disciple of the Huashan Sect could make him, and the experts of both the righteous and evil paths, feel the threat of death!

Perhaps, Brother Zuo was also wrong; with this person, Huashan cannot fall!

In an instant, the sword light reached his face, reflecting endless terror.

"Kill you!"

Tong Baixiong and the others roared, several streams of True Qi erupted simultaneously, and the two terrifying forces collided, instantly whipping up a sky full of gale winds.

Everyone felt the world spinning; their hearing was filled with the sound of Sword Qi tearing through the air, their vision was covered by the sky-filling sword light, and their bodies felt as if they were being sliced by blades and swords, as if their five senses had been stripped away.

It is unknown how much time passed before the crowd's perception gradually recovered.

They hurriedly looked out; where were the Songshan Sect experts, where were the Demonic Cult Elder? They were all lying on the ground, and even the courtyard walls and the gate of this residence were lying broken on the ground.

On the ground ahead, gullies crisscrossed, the marks like those carved by knives and axes, making one afraid to look directly; it was impossible to distinguish whose blood flowed along the gullies, a river of blood.

Only then did the crowd realize that it was Lu Li who had unleashed that unstoppable sword strike, slaughtering all the experts of both the righteous and evil paths? "Just now, what happened?"

"Besieged by the righteous and evil paths, Lu Li, with one person and one sword, took them all down?"

"This is too fierce, right?"

At this moment, Lu Li was covered in exhaustion, yet those eyes were bright and indifferent.

His long sword was already sheathed, and it was currently pressed against the ground, supporting his body.

Before him, no one could remain standing.

No one can stand within three feet; one sword breaks the path of life and death.
