Volume 3 Huashan Xiaoao Chapter 21 Reversal of the Situation
Dingyi originally thought that Linghu Chong would not show up when he saw that the bandits were so numerous and powerful, but she didn't expect that Linghu Chong was the general who had always followed them. Even in this difficult time, he stayed with the people of Hengshan Sect and never abandoned them. Dingyi couldn't help feeling guilty.
So she took the initiative to face Lu Bai, who was the strongest, and said, "Nephew Linghu, the enemy is numerous, you must break out quickly. No matter what, you must expose the conspiracy of Zuo Lengchan and the Songshan School to your fellow martial artists!"
Linghu Chong heard that Ding Yi was thinking of dying here, so he said, "How many people would believe what I say if I'm alone? Don't worry, Master. I will definitely rescue you and all the Hengshan Sect disciples today!"
As he spoke, he used the Dugu Nine Swords. His sword moves suddenly became erratic and strange, leaving no trace. With two quick strikes of the sword, he scratched the eyes of the seven men in black.
The two swords were so stunning that the other men in black avoided them all.
Upon seeing this, Sima De, one of the Thirteen Guardians of the Songshan Sect, retreated to the group of little nuns, preparing to use them to force Linghu Chong to surrender.
After receiving Su Yan's telepathic reminder, Linghu Chong swung his sword towards Lu Bai, injuring his wrist with one sword and then placed the other sword on Lu Bai's neck.
"stop!"
"stop!"
Linghu Chong and Sima De shouted almost at the same time.
Suddenly, Dingyi and the people from Songshan School stopped.
Sima De casually pulled up a little nun and said, "Linghu Chong, quickly release Senior Brother Lu, or I will kill this little nun!"
According to Linghu Chong's character, he would have compromised at this time. Su Yan saw the clues in advance and sent a message: "Don't be threatened by him. Lu Bai is in your hands. He dare not do anything."
So Linghu Chong said, "If you dare to touch a hair of Hengshan Sect's disciples, I will kill Lu Bai and exterminate all of you here!"
Having seen Linghu Chong's swordsmanship, no one present thought he was bragging and they all became nervous.
Some wandering wanderers invited by the Songshan Sect, such as the Three Heroes of Northern Ji, even thought of escaping directly .
Lu Bai didn't want to die like this. He knew that even if he killed all the nuns of Hengshan Sect, he couldn't stop Linghu Chong, so he said, "As long as you let us go, we will never touch these Hengshan Sect disciples."
Although Su Yan really wanted to keep Lu Bai and others, he could not ignore the safety of the Hengshan Sect's disciples, so he asked Linghu Chong to agree.
Unexpectedly, just as Linghu Chong nodded in agreement, Sima De relaxed a little, and a short knife flew from behind and cut off his wrist.
At the same time, a figure rushed over and rescued the hostage little nun.
This happened very suddenly. Before Ding Yi and the other people from Songshan Sect could react, Linghu Chong had already pressed Lu Bai's acupoints and rushed into the black-clothed men with his sword, like a tiger among a flock of sheep.
He used the sixth level of acquired qi to perform the Dugu Nine Swords. No matter whether it was the three heroes of northern Ji and other wandering people in the martial arts world, or the disciples of Songshan School, they were all no match for him.
However, Linghu Chong remembered Su Yan's instructions and did not kill these people. Instead, he stabbed their wrists, arms, shoulders and other vital parts, and then pressed their acupoints.
On the other side, Master Dingyi came to her senses and immediately went to protect the unconscious disciples of the Hengshan School.
When I got to the side, I could see clearly who was the person who had rescued the little nun earlier and was now fighting with the two men in black.
This man had a shaved head and wore monk's robes, but he did not have the temperament of a monk at all. He was the former flower thief Tian Boguang, who claimed to be Yilin's disciple in Hengshan earlier.
Although Dingyi disliked Tian Boguang, he also knew that Tian Boguang was helping the Hengshan Sect at this time, so he did not make things difficult for him. Instead, they joined forces to deal with the man in black.
There were originally more than twenty men in black from the Songshan Sect, but several of them had been killed or injured by Ding Yi before, and seven of them had their eyes injured by Linghu Chong just now. In addition, Lu Bai was captured, Sima De was injured, and Zhang Jingchao was not there, so the remaining people were quickly dealt with by Linghu Chong and the other two.
After pressing the acupoints on the last black-clothed man, Linghu Chong looked at Tian Boguang and said with a smile, "It turns out to be Brother Tian. How did you come to the border of Zhejiang and Fujian?"
"I am still suffering..." Tian Boguang stopped talking in time and changed the topic, "I am worried about the safety of Master Yilin. By the way, why did Brother Linghu keep these people alive?"
Su Yan knew that Tian Boguang was probably asked by Monk Bujie to protect Yi Lin, and the following questions were just a deliberate attempt to change the subject. However, he also felt that there was no need to remind Linghu Chong, so he did not say anything in the telepathic message.
Linghu Chong really diverted his attention and said, "Some of these men in black are disciples of Songshan Sect, and some are their accomplices, who are plotting together to force Master Dingyi to agree to the merger of the Five Mountains Sects.
Now that we have captured them, we must keep them as witnesses so that fellow martial artists can know Zuo Lengchan's true identity."
Master Dingyi nodded and said, "Junior Brother Linghu is right. We must expose Zuo Lengchan's conspiracy. A despicable and sinister person like him is not worthy of being the leader of the Five Mountains!"
After saying that, Master Dingyi began to check on the Hengshan Sect's disciples, but she found that they were all just knocked unconscious by the incense, so she breathed a sigh of relief.
On the other side, Linghu Chong followed Su Yan's instructions and first threw the weapons of the thirteen captured men in black deep into the forest. Then he asked Tian Boguang to find strong green vines from the surrounding area to tie these people's hands tightly behind their backs and then tied them together one by one.
At this time, Master Dingyi had already awakened all the disciples of Hengshan Sect by sprinkling clean water on their faces.
So Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang, one at the head and one at the tail, escorted these men in black back to No. 28 Shop.
In addition, there were disciples of the Hengshan School walking on both sides, holding swords at bay. Even if there were a few of them who could use their internal energy to break the green vines, they did not dare to move rashly.
When he arrived at No. 28 Shop, Linghu Chong couldn't help but frown.
Because Zhang Jingchao, one of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan, whose acupoints he had pressed before, had disappeared.
Su Yan transmitted his voice, "Don't think about it. He must have broken through the acupuncture points and escaped. Moreover, even if he didn't escape, there were other people from Songshan Sect who escaped in the forest just now. So, I'm afraid that this matter will soon be known to Songshan Sect."
Linghu Chong subconsciously wanted to ask "what should we do?", but because Dingyi, Tian Boguang and others were nearby, he couldn't open his mouth and could only worry.
Fortunately, Su Yan could see his worry from his expression, and then transmitted his voice: "It doesn't matter if Songshan Sect knows. We can deal with it as it comes. Besides, the people sent by your master should be on their way south."
After hearing Su Yan's words, Linghu Chong felt relieved.
In fact, he was not afraid of his own danger, but was worried that the nuns of Hengshan Sect would also be in danger.
At this time, Tian Boguang said, "Brother Linghu, I see there is a blacksmith shop in this town. Why don't we find a few iron chains and chain them all up? That way, we don't have to worry about them escaping."
Linghu Chong smiled and said, "That's exactly what I was thinking, but I still need Brother Tian's help."
"No problem. I, Old Tian, have long disliked the Songshan Sect for such a bunch of bastards. This is a good opportunity to teach them a lesson."
Hearing this, Lu Bai couldn't help but snorted coldly, "Linghu Chong, Dingyi, you actually hang out with a pervert like Tian Boguang, what right do you have to say that about our Songshan Sect?
My head brother knows that you have already gone astray, so he wants to merge the Five Mountains into one sect in order to eliminate the evil tendencies in the Five Mountains Sword Sect!"
Hearing this, all the nuns from Hengshan Mountain immediately responded angrily:
"What nonsense?"
"You are slandering me!"
"Your Songshan sect is the evil one!"
“…”
Seeing that Master Dingyi was also about to argue with Lu Bai, Linghu Chong said, "Why argue with such a person? Just find something to stuff his mouth with."
"Good, it saves him from barking."
Tian Boguang said this with a smile, then pulled out a sweat towel of unknown use from his arms and stuffed it into Lu Bai's mouth, almost making Lu Bai pass out from the suffocation.
