The world reincarnates, each time a new talent!

139: Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng’s deathBack at the Liu Estate, Liu Zhengfeng knew that his plan to wash his hands of the business would be difficult to execute.

His two sons were already dead, leaving only his wife and daughter.

To ensure his family’s safety, Liu Zhengfeng arranged for them to board a carriage, disguised them, and had them leave the Liu Estate.

With a top figure like Fei Bin from the Songshan Sect now dead, the sect was in chaos and had no time to continue targeting Liu Zhengfeng.

The people watching the Liu Estate had also momentarily left their posts, providing an opportunity for them to escape.

”Husband, if we leave, what will happen to you?”

”What if the people from the Songshan Sect return? You should come with us.”

Madam Liu held Liu Zhengfeng’s hand, speaking with agitation.

Liu Zhengfeng shook his head. ”I cannot leave. It is truly said that once one is in the Jianghu, one is no longer master of one’s own fate. Trying to withdraw from the Jianghu is too difficult.”

Liu Zhengfeng sighed deeply and continued, ”Wife, take our daughter and leave first. If I leave, the people from the Songshan Sect will surely hunt for me, and sooner or later they will find you. Without anyone to help you then, I fear you will not be able to escape disaster.”

”Husband...”

Madam Liu sat in the carriage, filled with reluctance.

Just as the carriage was about to depart, Liu Zhengfeng suddenly walked over and whispered in Madam Liu’s ear, ”Headmaster Yue of Huashan is a man of great righteousness. Because of my affairs, he has now fallen out with the Songshan Sect. If you hear bad news or are being hunted, immediately go to Huashan and seek help from Headmaster Yue!”

”Given the character of the Gentleman Sword, Headmaster Yue, he will certainly not stand idly by.”

”Once you reach Huashan, he will surely be able to protect you.”

Liu Zhengfeng said with a serious expression.

Madam Liu nodded through her tears.

Logically, Liu Zhengfeng was the second-in-command of the Mount Heng Sect, but he understood the situation of his Senior Brother and the strength of Mount Heng; it could not protect his wife and daughter.

Therefore, he had no choice but to let them leave, and even if they encountered danger, they should seek help from Huashan rather than go to Mount Heng.

...

On the other side, Ning Yuan did not pursue the people from the Songshan Sect, but instead kept his eyes on Yu Canghai, going to find Lin Zhendong and his wife.

Although he would not Cultivate the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual, and he was very clear about the whereabouts of the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual, Lin Zhennan and his wife could allow him to lure out Yu Canghai, Mu Gaofeng, and the people from the Songshan Sect.

Now, he needed to increase his Internal Energy at the fastest speed, and naturally, stealing the Internal Energy of others was the simplest way.

As for Jianghu scoundrels like Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng, they were the best choices for him to increase his cultivation at the moment.

Furthermore, acting alone meant he would not be noticed by others.

The deaths of these scoundrels would only be cheered by people in the Jianghu.

It would not arouse any sympathy or hostility towards him; on the contrary, it would only bolster the reputation of the Gentleman Sword.

...

In the mountain forest, Yu Canghai was sprinting rapidly, his Face full of shock and rage.

”Mu Gaofeng, how dare you snatch the Lin Couple from my men. You are courting death.”

Last time, Mu Gaofeng had snatched Lin Pingzhi, the sole heir of the Lin family, from his hands.

If not for Mu Gaofeng’s interference, if he had had Lin Pingzhi as a bargaining chip, he would have long since learned the whereabouts of the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual from the Lin Couple.

Why would he need to continue wasting time here?

Now that Mu Gaofeng had taken advantage of his absence at the Liu Estate to snatch the Lin Couple from his subordinates, the probability of obtaining the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual had greatly increased, and Yu Canghai could not help but be anxious.

He could only follow the clues and pursue them alone.

Deep in the woods, Yu Canghai suddenly felt his heart skip a beat.

He stopped abruptly, a look of vigilance appearing on his Face.

He looked up and scanned his surroundings. ”Which hero is lurking here?” Yu Canghai shouted upwards.

The forest was silent; there were not even the chirping of birds or the buzzing of insects.

As a breeze blew past, leaves filled the sky.

The next moment, a cold sword broke through the falling leaves and thrust towards Yu Canghai’s heart.

Yu Canghai tapped his feet on the ground and simultaneously drew his sword from its scabbard.

But before he could clearly see the person, he saw silver light flashing before his eyes, and Sword Qi crisscrossed the air.

After several exchanges, bloodstains appeared on Yu Canghai’s shoulder, arm, and waist.

With lingering fear, he retreated several steps, only then seeing who it was.

”Yue Buqun! It’s you!”

Seeing the person, Yu Canghai’s expression changed, and then he sneered, ”They all say the Gentleman Sword is upright and honorable, but I didn’t expect you to resort to sneak attacks. Looking at how you are plotting for the Lin family’s Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual, you are truly a hypocrite. It’s a pity that the world has been deceived by your facade.”

”Yu Canghai, you have slaughtered the innocent; today I will rid the people of this evil!”

Ning Yuan could not be bothered to answer Yu Canghai and attacked again.

Having fully mastered the essence of the Five Mountains Swordplay, Ning Yuan’s sword skills were now far stronger than before.

His combat power was several times greater than when he first arrived in this world.

Whether in terms of Internal Energy or sword skills, Yu Canghai was already inferior to him, and now facing the greatly strengthened Ning Yuan, Yu Canghai quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, in imminent danger.

”Yue Buqun, the Lin Couple is no longer in my hands; they have already been captured by Mu Gaofeng. If you continue to delay with me, I fear he will have already learned the location of the Cultivation Technique and fled.”

Seeing himself in crisis, Yu Canghai could not help but shout, trying to shake Ning Yuan’s resolve.

Unfortunately, Ning Yuan was not interested in the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual; on the contrary, he already knew its location and did not care at all.

After several more exchanges, Ning Yuan grabbed Yu Canghai’s wrist with one hand and activated the Bei Ming Divine Skill.

In an instant, Yu Canghai felt his Internal Energy being absorbed by the other party.

Yu Canghai’s eyes widened in disbelief. ”Star Absorbing Skill?”

”Yue Buqun, you have actually mastered Ren Woxing’s Star Absorbing Skill!”

”Could it be that Ren Woxing has long since died at your hands?” Yu Canghai shouted loudly.

After all, the Star Absorbing Skill was too similar to the Bei Ming Divine Skill, even more so than the Dissolving Skill, as both could absorb Internal Energy.

Ren Woxing had disappeared from the Jianghu for over a decade, and many had long speculated that he might be dead, most likely killed by Dongfang Bubai.

Now that this technique appeared on Yue Buqun, Yu Canghai naturally had his suspicions.

”Star Absorbing Skill? Heh...” Ning Yuan smiled disdainfully.

Was the Star Absorbing Skill worthy of being compared to his Bei Ming Divine Skill?

Ning Yuan silently circulated the Bei Ming Divine Skill, and in just a few breaths, Yu Canghai lost all his Internal Energy, collapsing to the ground with a pale Face.

After absorbing Yu Canghai’s Internal Energy, Ning Yuan felt he was about to Breakthrough.

He was just a little short.

”If I absorb Mu Gaofeng’s Internal Energy as well, I should be able to step into the first-rate ranks again.” This thought flashed through Ning Yuan’s mind.

”Yue Buqun, as the Gentleman Sword of a prestigious sect, you actually secretly practice a Demonic Technique. Once this is exposed, you will surely be disgraced and provoke the crusade of all sects!” Yu Canghai shouted in shock and rage.

”Then it’s good that no one will know.” Ning Yuan slashed his sword across Yu Canghai’s neck and said indifferently.

Yu Canghai’s eyes widened, and he collapsed in disbelief, his head falling off.

Ning Yuan casually used Yu Canghai’s robe to wrap up the head, then continued towards the Mountain God Temple.

Yesterday, he had already sent his Disciples to buy a map of the vicinity of Mount Heng, so he knew in which direction the Mountain God Temple was located.

...

At this moment, inside the Mountain God Temple, a miserable wind blew.

Lin Zhendong and his wife sat in the corner, weak and disheveled.

Mu Gaofeng was interrogating the two about the whereabouts of the Evil-Exorcising Swordplay Manual.

Seeing that both refused to speak to their deaths, Mu Gaofeng finally lost his patience.

”Since you are unwilling to speak, I will kill you first, and then I will kill your son.”

Mu Gaofeng raised his camel-backed sword and thrust it into Lin Zhendong’s body, asking viciously, ”Will you speak or not?”

Lin Zhendong’s Face showed pain, but he still gritted his teeth.

Madam Wang, who was at the side, also looked grief-stricken.

”You are indeed a tough guy.” Mu Gaofeng sneered and twisted the camel-backed sword, causing Lin Zhendong to let out a painful howl.

”Tell me now, and I can still spare your life.” Mu Gaofeng asked again.

But Lin Zhendong just shook his head. ”Senior Mu, I don’t know, so how can I tell you?”

”Stubborn and unyielding.” Mu Gaofeng did not believe him; Lin Zhendong was the Lin Family Head, if he didn’t know, then no one could possibly know.

Mu Gaofeng pulled out his long sword, and blood sprayed from Lin Zhendong’s shoulder.

Madam Wang on the side reached out to cover it, but was grabbed by the wrist by Mu Gaofeng, who grinned and said, ”Although your wife has suffered much recently, her underlying beauty is still there. This hunchback has never met such a tender woman in the Northern Frontier. Since you won’t speak, I will have to find pleasure with your wife.”

Mu Gaofeng looked at Madam Wang with ill intent.

Madam Wang’s Face turned pale, and then a look of determination appeared in her eyes. ”If you dare to touch me, I will die right now.”

”You die if you want to, I’ll play if I want to.” Mu Gaofeng said indifferently.

These words made both Lin Zhendong and Madam Wang look terrified.

Just as Mu Gaofeng was grabbing towards Madam Wang, suddenly a stream of Sword Qi attacked from behind.

Mu Gaofeng hurriedly turned and dodged, and the pillar in front was instantly pierced.

”Who dares to ruin Grandfather Mu’s good deeds?” Mu Gaofeng turned back in shock and rage.

Then, Ning Yuan stepped into the Mountain God Temple with an air of righteousness.

”Yue Buqun, how could you appear here?” Seeing Ning Yuan, Mu Gaofeng immediately showed a look of dread.

Hearing the name Yue Buqun, the Lin Couple’s eyes lit up instantly.

The reputation of the Gentleman Sword in the Jianghu was not just for show; he was the true light of the Righteous Path.

”Mu Gaofeng, the Central Plains is not a place where you can run wild. I, Yue, will never allow a villain like you to commit evil acts here.”

Ning Yuan did not say another word, raised his sword, and thrust.

Mu Gaofeng had originally wanted to find some excuses to mediate, but did not expect the other party to give him no Face at all, so he had no choice but to fight.

But after only a few exchanges, Mu Gaofeng felt immense pressure.

”This Yue Buqun is worthy of the reputation of the Gentleman Sword; his strength is actually this strong. If I continue to fight, I fear I will leave my life here today.”

Mu Gaofeng had thoughts of retreating, and his sword technique inevitably slowed for a moment.

With Ning Yuan’s current attainment in sword techniques, coupled with the blessing of eight times Comprehension Ability, his inspiration burst forth during actual combat.

In an instant, he found an opportunity and thrust his long sword into Mu Gaofeng’s shoulder blade.

Mu Gaofeng’s Face changed drastically, and then, with a ruthless look in his eyes, he braced himself to trade injuries for life, forcibly twisted, and arrived beside Lin Zhendong.

”What I cannot get, none of you will get either.” Mu Gaofeng thrust his sword towards Lin Zhendong.

”How dare you?” Ning Yuan feigned shock and rage, immediately chasing after him, and simultaneously thrust his long sword down again.

Mu Gaofeng’s sword stance deviated, failing to pierce Lin Zhendong’s throat, but it did cut a bloody gash on his neck.

Then, he flipped over the broken wall, intending to escape.

”Killing in front of me, how can I let you escape.” Ning Yuan immediately caught up.

”Yue Buqun, do you really want to kill me to the last?” Seeing Ning Yuan catch up, Mu Gaofeng could not help but show despair.

But how could Ning Yuan let go of such an opportunity to increase his strength?

As long as he did not reach the strength of being the best in the world, he would have no sense of security.

Not long after, Mu Gaofeng’s Internal Energy was also absorbed by Ning Yuan, and his head was cut off.

Ning Yuan suppressed his restless Internal Energy and returned to the Mountain God Temple.

At this moment, Lin Zhendong had already collapsed into Madam Wang’s arms, his breath faint.

Seeing Ning Yuan appear, Lin Zhendong mustered his strength and said weakly, ”I thank Headmaster Yue for your help, but unfortunately, I have no way to repay you at this moment.”

”Chief Escort Lin, there is no need to say more; Mu Gaofeng and Yu Canghai have been killed by me.” Ning Yuan threw out the two heads directly.

Seeing the heads of the two, Lin Zhendong seemed to have a sudden burst of energy before death, suddenly sitting up, crying and laughing, ”The grievances of my entire Lin family have finally been avenged!”

”Headmaster Yue, I have one thing I hope you can pass on to my son.” Lin Zhendong hesitated for a moment, but finally decided to trust Yue Buqun.

After all, the fact that the other party killed Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng could not be faked.

”Chief Escort Lin, rest assured, I will definitely pass it on.” Ning Yuan nodded, crouched down, and leaned his ear in to listen.

Lin Zhendong only said a few words before passing away.

Although Ning Yuan did not hear everything, he knew what Lin Zhendong wanted to say.
