Chapter 58: Dongfang Bubai

Everyone only saw Zuo Lengchan's figure growing smaller and smaller, until it vanished in the blink of an eye.

A generation's formidable hero was actually forced by Lu Li to jump off a cliff to his death.

The crowd of heroes was silent, and the disciples of the Songshan Sect stood blankly in place, as if they had lost their backbone.

The fall of a formidable hero even carried a trace of desolation.

To be fair, Lu Li had not expected Zuo Lengchan to die with such resolution.

Lu Li gazed at the mountains and sighed: "Zuo Lengchan can be considered a real man.

Since he ended his own life, I shall leave behind the inheritance of Songshan."

Vice Master Tang Yinge heard this and, for a moment, did not know whether to feel relieved or angry.

But the next moment.

Lu Li's sword light erupted, and with one strike, he beheaded a Songshan disciple beside him.

The crowd was shocked; a moment ago Lu Li said he would leave behind the Songshan inheritance, so why did he draw his sword to kill the next instant? Tang Yinge shouted: "Lu Li, didn't you say you would leave behind the Songshan inheritance—"

Lu Li did not stop his pace, killing one person with every step, and speaking one word with every step.

"I said I would leave behind the inheritance, but I never said I would leave behind the people."

"In the future, I will naturally find a successor for the Songshan Sword Momentum I realized today."

Tang Yinge was directly stumped by Lu Li's words, and the surrounding heroes were even more stunned.

Good heavens!

So that's what leaving behind the inheritance meant? It turns out Lu Li intended to kill everyone in the Songshan Sect from the very beginning!

Not only that, he also wanted to wipe out the Songshan Sect's inheritance along with them!

If Zuo Lengchan hadn't died so heroically, Lu Li might have even made the Songshan Sect's inheritance disappear from this world entirely.

The so-called leaving behind the inheritance was just Lu Li wanting to find a successor to pass down the Songshan Sword Momentum.

Furthermore, this Songshan Sect sword momentum would likely just remain at Huashan.

Lu Li was planning to be the supreme ruler of the Songshan Sect!

Lu Li looked at Tang Yinge and said: "Your Songshan Sect has done so many things in the open and in the dark; you don't really think it's over just because Zuo Lengchan is dead, do you?"

Although the Shaolin Temple was the mastermind behind the scenes, Songshan was the number one henchman.

The ledger must be settled one by one, and even if following an order, one must first wipe out the Songshan Sect.

Do you really think you can avoid punishment by exposing your accomplices in crime? Even if Lu Li agreed, those who died under this martial arts conspiracy would not be willing.

It is said that one can become a Buddha the moment they put down their butcher's knife.

But Lu Li's service is even more thorough; he sends the other party directly to the Western Heaven.

Letting them go directly to repent before the Buddha might have a better effect.

What? You say they have done all sorts of evil and can only go to hell? That is not Lu Li's concern.

Perhaps that belongs to Ksitigarbha Bodhisattva.

Lu Li killed several dozen people in a row, including several Elders, and was just about to walk toward Tang Yinge.

Suddenly, a woman's voice came from among the mountains.

"Hahaha!

Interesting, interesting."

"Brother Lian, this trip to Songshan today was not in vain."

This voice was not loud, yet it fell clearly into everyone's ears.

The crowd looked up and saw, on one side of the Songshan cliff, a red figure faintly rushing up the mountain through the clouds at an extremely fast speed.

The cliff was extremely steep, almost vertical, with no place to stand, yet that red-clad figure drifted over as if riding the wind.

The person's speed was extremely fast; at first, it was just a small red dot, but in the blink of an eye, it had turned into the silhouette of a woman in red.

When she got closer, the crowd finally saw clearly that she was not alone; her right hand was actually pulling a man!

Everyone who saw this scene gasped; for her to walk on the cliff as if on flat ground while carrying someone, this person's lightness skill was truly terrifying.

On the Fengchan Platform, there were now two more people, a man and a woman.

The woman was dressed in red, and while her appearance was not exceptionally seductive, it was by no means ugly.

The impression she gave was that her temperament surpassed her appearance.

There might be many women in this world with prettier faces than hers,

but if they stood beside her, they would all be eclipsed.

The impression this woman gave was like an adjective that only existed in stories: a celestial being.

No one present had ever seen her, but a name naturally appeared in everyone's mind.

Dongfang Bubai!

This woman was Dongfang Bubai.

And standing beside Dongfang Bubai was Yang Lianting.

Everyone was terrified to see that Dongfang Bubai had also come to Songshan.

"Is he the Demonic Cult Cult Leader Dongfang Bubai? He doesn't look that scary, and he's actually quite good-looking..."

"Quiet, do you not want to live?"

This trip to Songshan was simply too worth it.

Not only did they see the destruction of Songshan, the head of the Five Mountains, but they also saw Lu Li break the Shaolin Temple with one sword, and now, even the Demonic Cult's Dongfang Bubai had arrived.

The righteous and demonic paths, plus a Lu Li who seemed righteous yet not righteous, and evil yet not evil.

The greatest spectacle in the martial arts world is nothing more than this.

Of course, that is assuming they can walk out of Songshan alive.

"Are you Dongfang Bubai?"

Lu Li stopped the sword in his hand.

To others, the aura on Dongfang Bubai seemed harmless, but in Lu Li's heart, his Sword Dao was already roaring; the opponent was a powerhouse no weaker than himself!

He had no choice but to respond with his full strength.

Dongfang Bubai smiled and said, "I originally intended to tour Songshan with Brother Lian first, but just now I saw Sword Qi soaring into the sky and heard the sound of a monk chanting, so I rushed over immediately."

"Kid, you are quite good; you did not disappoint me."

The "good" in Dongfang Bubai's words referred not only to Lu Li's sword technique but also to Lu Li's actions.

"I know."

Lu Li nodded.

Seeing Dongfang Bubai praise Lu Li, and seeing Lu Li accept it so magnanimously, the crowd could not help but be greatly shocked.

Their conversation was just like that of friends; if these two were to join forces, wouldn't the martial arts world be stirred into a bloody storm!

Master Fangzheng chanted a Buddhist name aloud: "Amitabha!

Lu Li, I, Fangzheng, am willing to bear the grievances between you and my Shaolin."

"Although the benefactor Zuo did not speak nonsense just now, how could the hidden circumstances be as simple as they appear on the surface? Lu Li, you should know that knights use martial arts to violate prohibitions; if this martial arts world is left to its own devices, then those who use force to bully the weak will surely outnumber those who act with chivalry."

"My Buddha is merciful; stepping into the filth of this world to balance the righteous and the evil is to abandon the small self for the sake of all living beings under heaven.

Lu Li, your martial arts have already transcended the mundane; even if you have no intention of harming others, looking at the chaos that has arisen because of you along this journey, it is already countless."

"You must never act recklessly and fall into the evil path."

These few sentences came from the bottom of his heart, moving the crowd.

However, the corners of Lu Li's mouth lifted in disdain.

Vulgar.

Lu Li took a deep breath, his long sword held horizontally before his chest.

"Sword cultivator Lu Li."

"Dongfang Bubai."

Whether this martial arts world is chaotic or not, what does it have to do with them? In Lu Li's eyes, there was only the sword, while Dongfang Bubai was delighted to have one more opponent!

It is lamentable that Buddhism is meant to be empty, yet it is full of worldly concerns.

Hum!

The sound of a Sword Song rang out, and a strand of Sword Qi condensed on Lu Li's body once again.

This strand of Sword Qi was even sharper than the one on the Songshan road; everyone present felt their hair stand on end, as if a sword were pressed against their throats.

What remnants of Songshan or bald donkeys of Shaolin—in Lu Li's eyes, none compared to this opponent before him who had refined their Sword Dao!

At the same time, a bright fighting spirit flashed in Dongfang Bubai's eyes.

How many years had it been since she encountered an opponent? Dongfang Bubai had lived in quiet cultivation on Black Wood Cliff and had long since ceased to care about the affairs of the martial arts world; the matters of the Sun Moon Holy Cult were all left to Yang Lianting and Ren Yingying to handle, which could be said to be even more "Buddhist" than Shaolin.

But at this moment, killing intent suddenly emerged in her eyes.

A thought arose in the hearts of both Lu Li and Dongfang Bubai: only by killing the other could they live up to this life!

Only by using the opponent's blood could they witness the Great Dao!

The crowd of heroes around the Fengchan Platform were all locked in fierce combat; if Lu Li's Sword Qi made them afraid to move rashly, then Dongfang Bubai made them instinctively want to retreat.

The powerful auras clashed together, making everyone feel as if they were about to suffocate.

Fortunately, this feeling was very brief.

The figures of the two suddenly vanished from where they stood.

Boom!
