Arhats Subduing Demons: Starting with The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber

Chapter 127 Killing someone with a borrowed knife

Yun Changkong felt that Chen Youliang was a very capable and talented person, but he was just unlucky.

In the original story, Chen Youliang followed Cheng Kun to kill Shi Huolong, found an imposter to control the Beggars' Clan, and used Song Qingshu's murder of his uncle as a threat to force him to work for him. He then forced Song Qingshu to poison Zhang Sanfeng, Song Yuanqiao, and others, and used the Wudang Sect to blackmail Zhang Wuji, thereby controlling the Ming Cult.

As the saying goes, "You can guard against a thousand things, but it's hard to guard against a traitor within your own family." With Song Qingshu poisoning the Wudang Sect, just like Yuanzhen poisoning the Shaolin Temple, it was naturally incredibly easy. This plan was a series of interconnected steps. Regardless of whether it would ultimately succeed, unexpectedly, Zhang Wuji and the Wudang Sect overheard it all.

Even when Zhang Wuji sought out the Beggars' Sect, he used his silver tongue and eloquent arguments to incite the Beggars' Sect to attack Zhang Wuji.

But to everyone's surprise, the woman in yellow appeared with Shi Huolong's daughter, brandished her dog-beating stick, exposed the imposter, and immediately revealed his trick. At that point, the guy was still able to run away.

Finally, he joined Xu Shouhui's forces, killed him, inherited his army, achieved great success, and became emperor. He aspired to unify the world, but ultimately failed.

In the Battle of Hongdu, he mobilized hundreds of thousands of troops, but the outcome was completely unexpected. This battle not only resulted in heavy losses for him, but also bought Zhu Yuanzhang valuable time for his counterattack.
Zhu Yuanzhang then led a large army in a major battle at Poyang Lake, where Chen Youliang was killed and the entire army was wiped out.

Looking at Chen Youliang's various experiences, it is true that things in life often depend on chance and cannot be obtained by force.

Because of the series of schemes in the novel and history, if the timing and location had been different, he might have succeeded, but luck just wasn't on his side at the crucial moment.

This time, just like before, his conspiracy with Song Qingshu was overheard by Yun Changkong.

If someone as powerful as him decides to kill him, then he must die.

When Chen Youliang heard Yun Changkong tell him to commit suicide, he felt dizzy and thought to himself, "My life is over." He gritted his teeth and said loudly, "Hero Yun, I do not understand what you mean."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "You're a smart man, don't you even understand the principle of prevention?"

Chen Youliang shook his head with a regretful tone and said, "If I had known you were here, I would never have agreed to help Brother Song kill you in order to win his heart."

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "Alright, if someone else said they wanted to kill me, I would just take it as nonsense and not take it to heart. But I will take your words seriously, Chen Youliang. So you should feel honored."

Chen Youliang raised his eyebrows and said, "I am deeply honored by your high regard, but I am not convinced."

Zhao Min sneered, "You have been instigating Song Qingshu to murder your uncle. Once it's done, you will immediately threaten him to attack the Wudang Sect and then let the Beggars' Sect and the Ming Cult compete for supremacy. Even if there are any mishaps, the two sides will inevitably fight each other."

You are a wolf in sheep's clothing, willing to use any means to achieve your goals. Now that your treacherous schemes have been exposed, as long as you die, who will submit to you!

After listening to her explanation, Mo Shenggu and Song Qingshu thought about it carefully and realized that Chen Youliang's words were all insidious and instigating. Therefore, it was only natural for him to take action against Wu Xia.

Chen Youliang feigned shock and cupped his hands, saying, "Madam Yun, you are indeed formidable. Indeed, I instigated Brother Song with ulterior motives, and I did intend to take action against the Wudang Sect. But only to kill Zhang Wuji to avenge my master."

The reason I agreed to kill Hero Yun just now was simply to win over Brother Song and make him work for me; it wasn't for real reasons.

"Tell me, I, Chen Youliang, am a man of honor. Shouldn't I avenge my master?"

Zhao Min frowned slightly and asked in a raised voice, "Who is your master?"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "You also know his master. That is the famous Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand Cheng Kun, who is also Yuanzhen of Shaolin Temple."

"Huh?" Upon hearing this, everyone was taken aback.

Even with his deep-seated cunning, Chen Youliang's heart pounded faster and he was shocked and moved. He hadn't expected Yun Changkong to know this.

Zhao Min laughed and said, "Oh my, who is it? It turns out to be Master Cheng's apprentice. I am truly sorry for my rudeness." She thought to herself, "That old scoundrel Cheng Kun secretly cultivated such a formidable character without my knowledge. It is clear that he only has the intention to use my family."

Chen Youliang's surprise and change of expression lasted only a moment. His mind raced, and he said loudly, "That's right, my master is Cheng Kun, also known as Yuanzhen. As the saying goes, 'A teacher for a day is a father for life.' Zhang Wuji, that villain, said himself at Bright Peak that he killed my master. I know he is the leader of the Demonic Sect and his martial arts are unparalleled, far beyond my reach. But my desire to avenge my master is as clear as day, and I would rather die than change it!"

Yun Changkong said, "It seems that with all the heroes gathered here, you also went to Bright Peak."

“Of course!” Chen Youliang nodded and said, “Otherwise, how could we have witnessed the heroic and spirited scenes of Master Yun?”

It turns out that on Bright Peak, Shaolin monk Kongzhi once asked Zhang Wuji about Cheng Kun's whereabouts. He gritted his teeth and said, "How can we allow this villain to live in the world?" Everyone understood the implication in his words: Cheng Kun was killed.

Yun Changkong snorted and said, "Alright, you don't need to flatter me anymore. Just give yourself some face!"

Chen Youliang gazed at the vast sky, his brow furrowed, and said, "Thank you for your kindness, but I, Chen Youliang, am also a man of integrity and great ambition, determined to drive the Mongol barbarians back to the northern deserts and achieve great things. Since our plans have failed today, I have nothing more to say."
However, to achieve great things, one must be ruthless and take risks. Today, I instigated Brother Song to kill my uncle, which is indeed against all reason. Since Hero Yun and the Mongol princess have run into me, I, Chen Youliang, am willing to die. What do I have to fear?

"I only beg you to consider that Brother Song was blinded by love and acted rashly for a moment, and give him a chance to start anew. Chen Youliang will have no regrets even if he dies!"

These words, spoken plainly and logically, were unambiguous and deeply resonated with Mo Shenggu and Song Qingshu.

Mo Shenggu couldn't help but feel respect for him. It was truly puzzling that Cheng Kun could cultivate such a person under his tutelage.

Song Qingshu was extremely grateful, feeling that the title of "elder brother" was well-deserved, as he still remembered to save his life at this critical moment.

Zhao Min, however, raised the corners of her mouth slightly, her face showing disdain, and looked at Yun Changkong.

Yun Changkong chuckled and said, "Confucius said, 'There are three kinds of beneficial friends: those who are upright, those who are forgiving, and those who are knowledgeable.' What is your interpretation of the word 'forgiving'?"

Chen Youliang replied easily, "Then naturally it's about being sincere and trustworthy, and making friends with honest people."

Zhao Min raised her eyebrows and smiled, "Excuse my bluntness, but you are not honest at all."

Chen Youliang chuckled and shook his head, saying, "Hero Yun, what a prestigious title. Madam Yun is also of noble birth, yet she is so unreasonable. It is truly chilling."

Zhao Min smiled but remained silent.

Chen Youliang sneered again: "Master Yun's martial arts are unparalleled. He follows the lead of this Mongol princess, so there's nothing to say!"

However, I am determined to avenge my master and drive out the Tartars. Today, you rely on your superior martial arts skills to bully others and try to take my life. I am not skilled enough to say anything.

But suicide is absolutely out of the question. If you're going to attack now, even if I die by the hand of Hero Yun, it will be an honorable death!

He lowered his voice and said, "Brother Song, I'll hold him off for a bit, you go quickly!" He swung his left hand horizontally, raised his right hand slightly, and assumed a stance.

Seeing that he was trying to exchange his life for a chance to live, Song Qingshu's eyes welled up with tears, and he said, "Everyone knows what you're thinking, why are you doing this?"

Chen Youliang looked distressed and said, "I knew I was no match for Zhang Wuji in order to avenge my master. Seeing your deep affection for Miss Zhou of the Emei Sect, I wanted to use you. Now that things have been exposed, it is fate. As your elder brother, I may die, but how could I harm you?"

"Big brother!" Song Qingshu's eyes filled with tears, unsure whether it was love or hate, pain or regret.

"Haha..." Yun Changkong stabilized Mo Shenggu's injuries with his true energy, withdrew his hand from Mo Shenggu's back, stood up abruptly, raised his thumb, and nodded, saying, "Brilliant, truly brilliant! I never thought I, Yun Changkong, would meet a talent like you!"
Their brotherhood and loyalty are truly touching; in that case, I will take pity on you and send you all to the Western Paradise together!

As he spoke, his eyes flashed with a fierce light, his brows furrowed with murderous intent, and he slowly raised his right palm.

"Wait!" Mo Shenggu also stood up, clasped his hands and said, "Brother Yun, although Chen Youliang is treacherous, please spare his life in consideration of his desire to avenge his master and his strong sense of loyalty."

Yun Changkong glanced at Mo Shenggu.

Zhao Min pursed her lips and said, "Mo Qixia, no wonder you're so easily ambushed."

"You?" Mo Shenggu, with his rough and straightforward personality, said, "This..."

Yun Changkong suddenly said, "Chen Youliang, don't you know that I started practicing Shaolin martial arts at the age of seven?"

Chen Youliang was stunned for a moment.

Yun Changkong's eyes flashed, and he said in a calm and unhurried tone: "You speak eloquently, are full of righteousness, and are willing to die rather than submit, but you slightly raised your right hand and swung your left hand horizontally, grabbing Song Qingshu with the 'lion hunting a rabbit' move, while your feet were in the 'demon-subduing kicking stance,' kicking up mud and water as you rushed towards my wife. Although it may not be effective."

But if Song Qingshu's body hinders me, my wife is so beautiful and naturally loves cleanliness. To protect her from mud and water, I will naturally protect her and give you a chance to escape. You're quite remarkable!"

As he spoke, Mo Shenggu and Song Qingshu were deeply moved and both focused their attention on Chen Youliang.

Chen Youliang felt as if he had fallen into an ice cave, his face was deathly pale, and he trembled slightly. He sighed and said, "Your skill is unparalleled and your mind is meticulous. Only now do I truly admire you. You may kill me or torture me, it is all up to you!"

Zhao Min clapped her hands and laughed, "You didn't learn much martial arts from Cheng Kun, but you've certainly picked up his intelligence and resourcefulness. You're a first-rate talent, what a pity!" She couldn't help but praise him repeatedly.

She never expected that a random, unknown Han Chinese would possess such cunning and such a profound understanding of the abundance of talent among the Han people.

Mo Shenggu found it increasingly unbelievable. He had been disheartened by his nephew's betrayal, but he never expected that Chen Youliang would not have noticed his strength. If it weren't for Yun Changkong and Zhao Min, he would have died quietly and even harmed Wudang. For a moment, he felt truly useless.

Chen Youliang, worthy of being a disciple of the renowned "Hun Yuan Thunderbolt Hand," steeled his resolve and smiled, saying, "Though the world is vast, true heroes are few and far between. It is fortunate that I, Chen Youliang, have been defeated today by the world's number one master and Princess Ruyang! Give me a quick death!"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "You have the nature of a hero, you see things clearly, and you are ruthless and heartless. You do have the potential to achieve great things."

The Beggars' Sect is powerful and has many disciples, but with so many people, their minds are often divided. Not everyone can be of one mind. So, tell me who contacted you, and I'll make sure you die without feeling a thing.

Chen Youliang nodded slightly and said with a laugh, "Very well, listen carefully, this person is..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chen Youliang suddenly looked to his left, his face blank: "Who is it?"

Mo Shenggu and Song Qingshu both looked over.

Chen Youliang paused, his body suddenly lengthening, and he leaped forward, rushing behind Song Qingshu. He grabbed Song Qingshu's left shoulder with his right hand, and with a flick of his left hand, a dagger appeared, aimed at Song Qingshu's back.

Song Qingshu, caught off guard by Chen's earlier distraction, felt a sharp pain in his back as he realized he had been subdued. He gritted his teeth and glared, saying, "Brother Chen, what are you doing?"

Yun Changkong smiled slightly: "What a Dragon Claw Hand! Impressive."

Mo Shenggu angrily said, "Chen Youliang, you are indeed despicable and shameless! What do you want with my nephew?"

"What are you doing?" Zhao Min sneered slightly. "He wants to use Song Qingshu's life to save his own!"

Chen Youliang's face turned ashen, and he slowly said, "Your Highness is indeed formidable. No wonder my master said you are a great enemy of the Han people. I didn't believe it before, but after seeing you today, it's clear that you know everything about my every move."

If you were a man, you would be a catastrophic disaster for the Han people!

Zhao Min smiled coldly and remained silent.

Mo Shenggu said, "Song Qingshu killed his uncle and betrayed the sect. He died innocently. Who can you use him to blackmail?"

"Seventh Hero Mo, have you forgotten who taught you all this martial arts?" Chen Youliang raised his eyebrows and said loudly, "We who roam the martial world put righteousness first. Although you and Sixth Hero Yin are disciples of Master Zhang, your martial arts were actually taught by Headmaster Song. Now you can't even protect his son. The name of the Seven Heroes of Wudang is a huge joke!"

Upon hearing Chen Youliang's words, Mo Shenggu was immediately filled with gratitude for his senior brother's years of teaching him martial arts.

Mo Shenggu was furious with Song Qingshu's actions, but blood is thicker than water, and Song Qingshu would ultimately have to be dealt with personally by his senior brother. Thinking of this, he gritted his teeth and said, "Brother Yun, I have a favor to ask."

Yun Changkong said, "Since it's an unreasonable request, there's no need to say anything. I'm an honest man who doesn't do things in secret. I'm determined to kill Chen Youliang and Song Qingshu, but I was afraid of embarrassing your Wudang, so I gave Chen Youliang the opportunity to capture Song Qingshu. Otherwise, how could I have killed them with a single palm strike!"

Upon hearing this, apart from Zhao Min, Chen Youliang and Song Qingshu both felt their hearts skip a beat.

Yun Changkong is right. He couldn't be happier that Chen Youliang captured Song Qingshu, because only then could he kill Song Qingshu!
He knew that once Mo Shenggu was saved, Song Qingshu would definitely survive. However, Song Qingshu had repeatedly made things difficult for him by relying on the Wudang Sect, and now he even wanted to kill him.

The reason given was that he had rejected Zhou Zhiruo.

So, should we refuse?

Just like Zhang Wuji, he too must die!

Then it's better for me to die than for you.

However, Song Qingshu and Chen Youliang were disciples of Shaolin and Wudang respectively, and their statuses were different. Although they could be easily killed, the aftermath had to be handled properly, otherwise it would cause more trouble.

Chen Youliang said sternly, "Yun Changkong, you are faithless and ungrateful. How can you be worthy of the Princess's true affection for you!"

Yun Changkong waved his hand and said, "Can't you come up with something new? What do you mean by heartless and ungrateful? Cheng Kun has already called me heartless and ungrateful."

Chen Youliang's heart sank, feeling utterly bewildered. He then smiled and asked, "Have you met my master?"

Yun Changkong laughed and said, "You're the kind of person who won't shed tears until you see the coffin and won't give up until you reach the Yellow River. Listen carefully, I actually killed your master Cheng Kun, so, to nip it in the bud, you have to die too!"

As he spoke, Chen Youliang stepped forward and called out, "Your Highness, I have something to say. Will you listen or not?"

Zhao Min sneered, "Your words are worthless, don't listen to them!"

Chen Youliang's eyes flashed, and he sneered, "You won't let me speak because you also think Yun Changkong is not good enough for you!"

Zhao Min said, "You're talking nonsense!"

"If that's not the case, why won't you listen?" Chen Youliang looked at Yun Changkong and said, "You, Hero Yun, have unparalleled martial arts skills. How much has the Princess done for you? What have you done for her in return? Do you dare to let the Princess hear it!"

Yun Changkong smiled calmly and said, "I know you're trying to provoke me, but I'm genuinely interested. Tell me about it!"

Chen Youliang proudly said, "My master said that the Princess is a woman of great talent and ambition, and quick-witted. If she were not a woman, she would have achieved unparalleled feats, just like this battle to destroy the Ming Cult!"
My master once said that if the princess were to personally take charge, the entire martial arts world would surely be wiped out in one fell swoop. However, Wang Baobao was skilled in military campaigns and disliked the despicable dealings of the martial arts world. He did not pay much attention to this matter, fearing that the mission would fail. Sure enough, it turned out just as he predicted!
However, for your sake, the Princess gave up everything, completely averting a catastrophe for the martial world. Even the three heroes of Wudang, Yu Sanxia, ​​whose limbs were broken twenty years ago, were restored thanks to the medicine she gave you. This is how you repaid Wudang's kindness.

Before Yun Changkong could speak, Zhao Min interjected, "He risked his life to steal it; I didn't give it to him willingly!"

Chen Youliang sneered and said, "Your Highness, although we have never met, my master has said a lot about you. With your 'fight to the death' mentality, if you hadn't fallen in love with him, even if he forced you, killing you would be easy, but taking the medicine would be absolutely impossible!"

Zhao Min's pretty face flushed red, and she was speechless for a moment.
Yun Changkong said coldly, "You're right. I understood back then that my wife was giving in to me, so what?"

Upon hearing this, Zhao Min felt as sweet as if she had drunk honey.

Chen Youliang said, "Well said, you understand. Because of you, the princess was forced to marry by her father and brothers. She had no choice but to run away. Countless people have cursed her for being lustful and forgetting her true nature."

what about you?
The Prince of Ruyang caused Yu Sanxia to become crippled and Zhang Wuxia to commit suicide. His brother also killed Yin Liuxia. The Wudang Sect regards his family as a thorn in their side. This time, they are going to Dadu to kill his father and brother to avenge them. This matter is not yet over, and you still insist on forcing Brother Song to kill!
Is it because you're afraid that the enmity with the Wudang Sect isn't deep enough, or is it because Master Zhang of Wudang is truly useless and not enough to make you fear him?

"Fine, you only care about your own pleasure, how carefree you are! The Princess will naturally follow your lead and won't say anything! But do your actions match the Princess's sincerity towards you?"

Yun Changkong smiled and said, "Have you finished your last words?"

Chen Youliang pulled Song Qingshu back a step and sneered, "Mo Qixia, look at this, your Wudang saved Yun Changkong's family, but he doesn't care about Song Qingshu's life or death. He's going to make your Wudang send an old man to mourn his young son again!"

"The most faithless person in the world, do you see it clearly, Your Highness? You are a woman from a foreign land. Yun Changkong only coveted your beauty. Do you see it clearly?"

Zhao Min's eyes were clear as crystal. She glanced at Yun Changkong, then suddenly smiled slightly and said casually, "Brother Yun, why are you willing to marry me?"

Yun Changkong nodded and said, "Because you are beautiful!"

Zhao Min giggled and asked, "Where is it beautiful?"

Yun Changkong said, "It's beautiful everywhere!"

The group's hearts pounded as they listened, thinking that Yun Changkong and this foreign woman were truly shameless, capable of saying such things.

Chen Youliang was in a dilemma. He said, "Hero Yun, to be honest, my master has been kind to me and I only want revenge. It's all because Zhang Wuji is highly skilled in martial arts and has countless capable men under his command. Killing him would be as difficult as climbing to heaven. My promise to kill you just now was all a lie. It was just to win over Song Qingshu. You have to believe me!"

Yun Changkong looked at Song Qingshu and said, "I understand Chen Youliang's ambition to accomplish great things, and I respect him as a man of integrity, no matter what means he uses or what he does."

But what about you? Why are you so hostile towards me? If it's because of Zhou Zhiruo, when I first arrived at Wudang Mountain, I had absolutely no connection with Miss Zhou. Why do you hate me so much? I don't understand!

Song Qingshu pursed his lips and coldly replied, "It's because you're too ungrateful and self-righteous!"
My great-grandmaster possessed unparalleled martial arts skills, founded his own school, and in the contemporary martial arts world, no one could rival his prestige and status. My several uncles were renowned for their chivalry, and who did not respect them?

Your Yun family is nothing but a bunch of lowlifes running a security escort agency. Your entire family's lives were saved by my fourth martial uncle.
"You, Yun Changkong, may possess immense abilities, but upon arriving at my Wudang Mountain, you should respectfully present your visiting card and humble yourself. What right do you have to ascend the mountain without prior notice? I believe you hold my Wudang Sect in utter contempt. It is only to protect the reputation of our sect and the honor of our elders that we are making things difficult for you!"

Yun Changkong nodded slightly: "Alright, that makes some sense."

Mo Shenggu said angrily, "What about Wuji? What did he do to you that you hate him and slander him so much just because of a woman?"

Song Qingshu said angrily, "Seventh Uncle, what did I slander?"

The Demonic Sect has evil and lewd arts. My fifth uncle was ruined because he was trapped by Yin Susu's sorcery!

Ji Xiaofu of Emei was ensnared by Yang Xiao's evil magic and lost her virginity to him. After tasting the sweetness, she willingly fell into depravity and could not extricate herself.

"Look at Zhang Wuji again. He's plain-looking, not handsome at all. He's just learned some evil magic from the demonic sect, and he's good at bewitching women. He's managed to make Miss Zhou, Yang Buhui, and even an ugly monster who's unbearable to look at fall into his trap!"

Chen Youliang nodded and said, "That's right. For the sake of the innocence of all respectable women, Zhang Wuji of the Demonic Sect, this scoundrel of the martial world, deserves to be killed by everyone!"

Upon hearing this, Mo Shenggu thought about everything and felt that it made some sense. His fifth senior brother was willing to fight the world against the Wudang Sect rather than reveal the whereabouts of the Golden Lion King of the Demonic Sect. Was it really just a matter of loyalty?

Thinking back to Ji Xiaofu being raped, I have no regrets.

Do the men and women of the Demonic Cult really possess evil magic?

Wuji learned it too?
Yun Changkong chuckled and said, "You all have quite the insight!"

Song Qingshu said coldly, "You and Zhang Wuji are two of a kind. Didn't that Mongol princess and that little girl at Bright Peak both fall under your lewd spells and lose their true nature? Don't you know that?"

"Pfft!" Zhao Min covered her mouth and chuckled. She felt that Song Qingshu's words made a lot of sense. Many women had indeed fallen for the spell.

"Nonsense!" Yun Changkong was quite embarrassed to see Zhao Min laughing, and said, "Alright, everything is clear, and you can all die in peace! However, Chen Youliang, you are going to die. I think this Young Master Song has gone mad. Besides, if I were to kill such a villain, it would dirty my hands."

Only a peerless tyrant like you deserves to die by my hand. You two were just showing brotherly affection; now it's your turn to prove yourself.

Upon hearing this, Song Qingshu stared at Yun Changkong with a look that was a mixture of malice, anger, and disbelief.

However, a hint of despair flashed in Chen Youliang's eyes, and he laughed bitterly, "Fine, fine, I understand. You've also been bewitched by the Mongolian witch. You know that I, Chen Youliang, am one of the most outstanding heroes in the world, and you're determined to kill me so that you can eliminate your rival for Mongolia."

Yun Changkong smiled faintly and said, "You're exaggerating. There's a saying, 'Those who speak lightly of righteousness will surely betray their principles when faced with a crisis.' You're no hero or great man; you're just an opportunist!"
Whether you praise me, provoke me, or insult me, I don't care! It will only strengthen my resolve to kill you; it will serve no other purpose.

Chen Youliang hesitated, then suddenly lowered his head, sighed, and said dejectedly, "Fine, if that's how you put it, then I have no choice but to die!"

Yun Changkong nodded and said, "Yes, because I'm more afraid of you than I'm afraid of Zhang Sanfeng, do you understand?"

The two exchanged strange words. Apart from Zhao Min, who understood the meaning, Mo Shenggu and Song Qingshu were both puzzled. How could Chen Youliang be compared to Zhang Sanfeng?
Chen Youliang gave a bitter smile and turned to look at Song Qingshu: "Brother Song, you called me elder brother, so let's be brothers again on the road to the Yellow Springs!"

Song Qingshu screamed hoarsely, "Brother Chen, there's..."

With a soft thud, Chen Youliang thrust his dagger forward.

Song Qingshu felt a chill in his back and all his strength vanished as Chen Youliang pushed him away with a palm strike!
Song Qingshu's body suddenly flew towards Yun Changkong, while he retreated swiftly.

Yun Changkong smiled coldly, grabbed Zhao Min, and leaped into the air, unleashing a palm strike.

This move, "Dragon Appears in the Field," was powerful and fierce, like raging waves crashing against the shore and a sudden whirlwind rising. With a loud bang, Chen Youliang was sent flying like a fallen leaf, crashing directly into a pine tree.

Crack... The sound of bones breaking and branches scattering was incessant.

Song Qingshu flew several feet away before being caught by Mo Shenggu, who shouted, "Qingshu!"

Song Qingshu said in a trembling voice, "Seven...yes..." His head tilted to the side and he didn't move again.

Chen Youliang's sword pierced straight through his heart and lungs, leaving him with no choice but to die.

"Qingshu!" Mo Shenggu cried out in grief.

How is he going to explain this to his senior brother?

With a single palm strike, Yun Changkong shattered Chen Youliang's bones and broke his heart and lungs. Chen Youliang's eyes widened, and he collapsed to the ground, blood gushing from his mouth. Looking at Yun Changkong before him, he trembled and said, "I truly wanted to accomplish something great, my heart is not..."

Yun Changkong sighed, "You are ambitious and indeed capable, which is why I fear you will achieve great things, so..."

Chen Youliang swallowed a mouthful of blood, stared at Zhao Min, a cold flame suddenly rising in his eyes, and slowly said, "You, you're afraid I'll kill her?"

Yun Changkong sighed and said with a bitter smile, "Yes, I was given a second chance at life. It wouldn't be surprising if I died someday!"

But I will not allow anyone to threaten her; whoever it is, they must die!

Before death, a person's thoughts are very clear. Chen Youliang understood that he had guessed that he was going to make a move against Yun Changkong, and Zhao Min was the target. In order to prevent any accidents, he had to kill him!

Chen Youliang was neither lucky nor unlucky to encounter such an opponent. His eyes blinked, his head tilted, and he went to find his master!
Zhao Min smiled wryly and said, "This man is truly destined for great things!"

Yun Changkong turned to look at Mo Shenggu, who was holding Song Qingshu's body, staring blankly as if in a nightmare. He slowly said, "Seventh Hero Mo, I know nothing about what happened today. Farewell!"

He took Zhao Min's arm and disappeared into the darkness without touching the ground.

Yun Changkong and Zhao Min knew that Chen Youliang's killing of Song Qingshu on his deathbed was actually a sinister act, but they didn't care.
