Chapter 181: Simps Die Bad Deaths

"Stop it!" Pei Yanzong dodged the sudden palm strike, looking at Daoxu with doting eyes, "If you hurt me, there will be no one left to help you."

"Get lost." Daoxu's face was red with shame; he had once treated Lin Bai exactly like this in front of the disciples of Huilong Temple!

Yet that scoundrel Lin Bai had taken advantage of him; how had he managed to stomach the disgust at the time?

The Love Dao is too nauseating!

Why did he have to cultivate to the Nascent Soul realm? If he were only at the Golden Core stage, he would have been beaten to death just now!

Damn Lin Bai, why did he have to make him regain his sanity...

Why did he have to make an old man of several hundred years bear all this?

Why?

Daoxu struck at Pei Yanzong with palm after palm, tears streaming down his face without him realizing it; what kind of sin had he committed?

"Daoxu, put in more effort, he can't bear to hit you anymore, take the chance to beat him to death." Watching Xin Shang and the others fleeing rapidly, Lin Bai let out a long breath; he had finally managed to turn the situation around.

"You brat, I will not stand under the same sky as you." Daoxu roared in grief and indignation, unleashing one ultimate move after another, wishing he could strike Pei Yanzong dead on the spot.

Pei Yanzong dodged repeatedly, unable to bring himself to strike back at Daoxu: "Xuxu, stop fighting, you're crying. Seeing you shed tears makes my heart ache. I can feel your pain; let me go over and help you eliminate Lin Bai, and we will return to the Canyang Sect, fly away together, and never ask about the rights and wrongs of the pugilistic world again."

A Love Arrow.

The situation between the two had completely reversed.

But their cultivation levels were equal; just as Pei Yanzong couldn't do anything to Daoxu before, Daoxu couldn't take down Pei Yanzong now...

Taking advantage of the time while the two were deadlocked.

Lin Bai observed the battlefield.

Of the ten card-people in the formation, only four remained now: Daoxu, Qingyu, Huaxi Furen, and Qingshan.

The rest had all died in battle, having played almost no role in this fight.

Qingyu, Qingshan, and Huaxi Furen were also not lightly injured; it was only thanks to Lin Bai and Daoxu attracting most of the firepower that these three fellows had survived.

The losses were too great, Lin Bai sighed.

He had had the opportunity to fire a second arrow after hitting Pei Yanzong, but at that time, the four people fleeing frantically all had their backs to him, and even if he had hit them, the first thing they would have seen was the disciples of their own sects.

Even if they had gotten married on the spot, it wouldn't have been of much help to Lin Bai.

Lin Bai only had six Love Arrows left; he couldn't waste them.

While he hesitated.

Xin Shang and the others had already hidden back into their respective formations, using the disciples of their sects to shield their bodies!

The little brat Cupid was ultimately no match for the seasoned and steady Moon Elder; the Moon Elder's Red Thread and Lüxian ignored distance and obstacles and could be used at any time.

Cupid's Arrow couldn't even curve; it was too low-tier!

The Yuelao System's mission hadn't been completed; perhaps it was because Pei Yanzong and Daoxu weren't famous enough.

The time Justice Weekly had been in circulation was still too short.

Without the Moon Elder Red Thread, the coming battle would be hard to fight; Lin Bai shook his head slightly. The group of fellows opposite blocked the road to Qian City, leaving him no chance to play matchmaker for the City Lord and Lao Mi...

"Don't call me Xuxu."

"Alright, Xuxu, I will listen to everything you say..."

"Pei Yanzong, if you truly love me, stand still and let me beat you to death."

"If you beat me to death, who will be left to protect you?"

"You idiot, you've been controlled by Lin Bai."

"My love for you is sincere, not controlled by anyone."

"Wahhh, I can't take it anymore, hurry up and let me kill you..."

The Sky Curtain had not yet dispersed; at Lin Bai's feet, the trees struck by Palm Thunder were emitting wisps of black smoke, and opposite him, the Five Great Sects were eerily quiet.

Everyone's gaze was fixed on the two old men, Pei Yanzong and Daoxu, awkwardly flirting.

The players who rushed out from the Sky Curtain were stunned on the spot when they saw this scene.

What had happened?

After such a long time, the Evil Five Sects had only set up a Sky Curtain; had they not even prepared a backup plan?

Were they intimidated by Shopkeeper Lin?

That shouldn't be!

"Did we miss something?" 【Longxi】 asked in the private chat channel.

"Obviously, we missed a great battle." 【Madman】 looked at the chaotic battlefield and said, "The Game Company is too unprofessional; such a good promotional opportunity, just wasted like this."

"Has Shopkeeper Lin won?" 【Tiger Descending the Mountain】 asked.

"Not won yet, not many people on the other side have died, there's still more to see." 【Great Golden Immortal】 said.

The Huilong Temple Daoists responsible for protecting and guiding the Suspension Talisman watched their old Sect Leader fall in love with someone else, not knowing what expression to make!

How embarrassing, how shameful!

However.

Seeing Pei Yanzong face their old Sect Leader, only taking hits and not daring to fight back, also strengthened their determination to cultivate the Love Dao.

Being able to easily twist the thoughts of a Nascent Soul True Person—the laws of the Love Dao were too terrifying; it was worth practicing!

……

"Lin Bai, if you have the guts, fight us fair and square. What kind of person uses hidden arrows to hurt others..." Shen Kuang hid behind his own disciples, shouting with a dark face.

"Come on then, I'm waiting for you." Lin Bai aimed Cupid's Bow in the direction of his voice and laughed.

Shen Kuang's voice stopped abruptly, and there was a commotion in the direction of the Profound Mystery Sect. Shen Kuang was changing his position; he didn't dare to gamble on whether Lin Bai's arrows had piercing power!

If he were to end up like Pei Yanzong, wouldn't it be more painless to just commit suicide on the spot?

Who the hell knew if Lin Bai's arrows had piercing power?

At this very moment, Shen Kuang deeply understood the feeling of Daoxu Zhenren, who was desperately seeking death.

What a sin!

Why did the Righteous Sect have to release such a creature to stir up the world?

……

"Sect Leader Lin, Master he..." Qingyu pulled Huaxi Furen to Lin Bai's side, wanting to speak but hesitating.

"Go back into the cards to recover; I don't need you anymore." Lin Bai smiled slightly, took out the cards, and without further ado, took back the three heavily injured Puppets.

The gap between a Yuan Ying True Person and a Golden Core is a chasm.

The three heavily injured people could no longer play much of a role, and he could not waste any more combat power.

……

"Xin Shang, Zhao Tulong, are you just going to watch as Pei Yanzong suffers such humiliation?" Daoxu, unable to kill Pei Yanzong, had to turn his hope toward the opposite side and Zhaofeng, "If he dies, it will be your turn next! There is no room for maneuver between you and Lin Bai. Today, either he dies, or you perish."

"Well said, Daoxu, keep provoking them like that. We will take them down one by one. I will find you a few more lovers to make up for my mistakes." Lin Bai took out the Recording Pen with composure, selected a ten-person portion of Palm Thunder, and pressed the play button.

The tongue twister playback ended.

He raised his left hand.

Ten bolts of lightning struck toward Pei Yanzong.

Pei Yanzong, entangled by Daoxu, could not dodge in time and was grazed by at least three bolts of lightning, leaving half of his body charred black.

The durability of a Yuan Ying True Person is much higher than that of a Golden Core; he still had the strength to fight.

Pei Yanzong couldn't help but look up at Lin Bai and shouted angrily: "You brat, you go too far! Disciples of the Canyang Sect, hear my order: charge with all your might and strangle Lin Bai. Xin Shang, Zhao Tulong, how much longer are you going to wait? Kill Lin Bai and help me save Daoxu; I will owe you a favor."

If it were normal times, the people of the Canyang Sect would have charged out upon the order, but to help their Sect Leader save Daoxu—how shameful did that excuse sound!

Moreover, the other sects did not move.

Were they supposed to charge up and shake a fierce person like Lin Bai? Was that suicide?

"Brother Zhao, Brother Xin, Brother Shen, Brother Pei is right. If we drag this out, there will be more variables. Let's charge together. His Spiritual Power is already exhausted; how many people can a few scattered Palm Thunders kill? If we don't kill him while he is at the end of his rope, it will be hard to find another chance like this." Ge Feiyun's voice came from the direction of the Demon Spirit Sect.

Lin Bai's Palm Thunder was a natural bane to Magic Spirits. Among everyone, she was the one who least wanted Lin Bai to live. She continued, "We have many people, and his law-based arrows must be limited in number. Be careful, exhaust his arrows, and we will surely win. Besides, Daoxu has regained his sanity, which is enough to prove that his Love Dao has limitations."

The people of the Evil Five Sects were restless.

"Pei Yanzong, are you willing to give up your life for Daoxu?" Lin Bai ignored the noisy crowd over there, threw another series of lightning bolts at Pei Yanzong, watched him dodge in a sorry state, and brought out his old method, "Old Pei, surrender to me, and I can let you be together forever!"

"Bah! I would rather die at Daoxu's hands than surrender to you, you villain." Pei Yanzong said angrily.

"Then why haven't you died?" Lin Bai chuckled, "In the next moment, I will have Daoxu charge the formation opposite. His Spiritual Power is more than half exhausted; he will definitely be no match for Xin Shang and the others. When that time comes, will you protect him, or will you not?"

Pei Yanzong was suddenly stunned, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes: "If he dies, I will accompany him in death. Since we could not be born on the same year, month, and day, if I can die on the same day as Daodao, I will be content."

"You idiot, don't disgust me anymore." Daoxu retched, he looked up at Lin Bai in grief and indignation, "Lin Bai, let me go fight the other side! Stop torturing me! I surrender, I promise you, I will never cause trouble for you again."

"Daodao, how could you be like this?" Pei Yanzong looked incredulous.

"Get lost." Daoxu roared.

"Daoxu, remember outside Huilong Temple, how I treated you back then?" Lin Bai smiled and gave Daoxu a hint, "There is a way to be liberated, you know!"

"……" Daoxu shuddered violently, a trace of struggle flashing in his eyes. He looked at Pei Yanzong, who was dodging left and right in front of him, hardened his heart, squeezed out an ugly smile, softened his voice, and said sorrowfully, "A-Pei, you and I have become like this; there is no joy in living, and we are just being laughed at for nothing. It would be better if you died first, and I will follow you soon after. Since we cannot share joy in life, let us walk the road to the Yellow Springs together in death..."

"Daodao?" Pei Yanzong was stunned, his eyes widening.

"A-Pei, I have failed you." Daoxu only wanted to end this painful life as soon as possible. Possessed by a dramatic spirit, his tiger eyes filled with tears, and he said in a trembling voice.

"Good, let's die together." A smile crossed Pei Yanzong's lips. He closed his eyes and resolutely gave up dodging and defending. Those in unrequited love are always blind; for the sake of the love in their hearts, they can sacrifice everything, including themselves.

"Pei Yanzong, you idiot." Zhao Tulong's terrified voice came from behind, "He is lying to you."

But it was all too late.

Daoxu struck out with a palm, hitting Pei Yanzong's heart heavily with hatred.

He spat out a mouthful of blood and fell backward, but he still reached out a hand with difficulty toward Daoxu, his eyes filled with tenderness: "Daodao, I'll wait for you."

Protect!

Lin Bai timely changed Daoxu's command to protect, stopping him from continuing the pursuit. With a flick of his hand, the golden card he had prepared long ago flew toward the dying Pei Yanzong, enveloping him within it.
