Simultaneous Transmigration: Freedom Across the Heavens

Bai Li led Yue Lingshan out from the corner, his voice calm and unhurried: "Senior Brother Chi, it's a good thing to eliminate evil and promote good, but to lose one's life for nothing is to make loved ones grieve and enemies rejoice."

Chi Baicheng's calves trembled slightly. He had almost lost his life. When he came to his senses, cold sweat soaked his vest.

In the past, when he was on the mountain, his fellow disciples would spar with him, and none of them could match him. He couldn't help but think that his swordsmanship was outstanding and that he could dominate the martial arts world.

Unexpectedly, I was no match for that lecherous thief. The martial world is too terrifying. I must return to Mount Tai.

"Junior Sister, Eleventh Junior Brother!"

Linghu Chong was overjoyed to see the two of them: "What are you doing here?"

"Hahaha..." Tian Boguang laughed heartily upon seeing this, sheathed his short sword, and said, "So you are Brother Linghu's junior brother and sister. Then you are one of us."

"I, Tian, ​​have always loved making friends with heroes and valiant men. Your skill just now was truly remarkable. This drink is on me today."

Tian Boguang had a good plan. Seeing that Bai Li was skilled in martial arts, he was worried that Bai Li would join forces with Linghu Chong to deal with him. So he took advantage of the situation, thinking that Linghu Chong would not refuse. If they could turn hostility into friendship, that would be the best outcome.

Bai Li didn't even lift his eyelids, turning his gaze to Linghu Chong, and said, "Senior Brother, have you forgotten Master's teachings?"

Linghu Chong was speechless for a moment. He raised his hand and gave a wry smile: "Junior brother, this is a long story."

Yue Lingshan's eyes widened, and she said with dissatisfaction, "Senior Brother, how could you drink with a womanizer?"

She had heard it clearly just now. This man was Tian Boguang, the lone traveler, a notorious womanizer who had ruined countless innocent women. Shouldn't she have drawn her sword and killed such a scoundrel?

Linghu Chong was speechless. He was usually glib and eloquent, but now he didn't know where to begin.

Tian Boguang's face fell, and he sneered, "It seems that Brother Linghu's fellow disciples all look down on me! In that case, we might as well not drink this wine."

"Brother Tian, ​​perhaps there's some misunderstanding..." Linghu Chong hurriedly explained, fearing that Tian Boguang might attack his junior brothers and sisters at this moment.

"Senior Brother."

Bai Li interrupted Linghu Chong, glanced at Tian Boguang indifferently, and said, "I've heard that people in the martial arts world call you the Lone Wanderer. I'll give you three breaths to escape. If you manage to escape, you're lucky. If I catch up with you, I'll cut you into a thousand pieces."

"Hehehe..."

Tian Boguang chuckled, his right hand gripping the hilt of his knife, and said, "Little brat, I respect you as Brother Linghu's junior brother and give you face, but do you really think you're running your own business?"

He had seen far too many young swordsmen like this, who thought themselves highly skilled and daring, unaware that killing and fighting were two completely different things. He didn't know how much of these young swordsmen's blood, and even the blood of female swordsmen, was on his hands.

"Two breaths!"

Bai Li remained unmoved. The reason he said this was because he was certain that Tian Boguang would not run away. This man was a vain man who, despite being a womanizer, considered himself a romantic.

At this moment, Huiyan Tower is packed with people. If he flees without a fight, he will have no place to stand in the martial arts world in the future.

"Junior brother, Brother Tian..." Seeing the two about to clash, Linghu Chong was anxious and sweating profusely, unsure of which one to persuade first.

Bai Li disliked Linghu Chong the most for this: seemingly carefree and unrestrained, he was actually indecisive and always made the wrong decisions at the most important moments, harming himself and others.

"One breath!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Li drew his sword instantly, and a dazzling silver light appeared, like a cascading Milky Way, its brilliance captivating.

Bai Li's figure vanished from the spot like a wisp of green smoke, and when he reappeared, he was standing firmly in front of Tian Boguang, holding his sword with a drop of blood dripping from the tip.

Tian Boguang's eyes were filled with astonishment. Before he could even raise the short knife a third of the way, a bright red stain appeared on his throat.

"Crack...crack..." He made a hoarse, grating sound, as if he wanted to say something, but his throat had been pierced, and he died without uttering a word, rolling off the chair to the ground.

The entire Huiyan Tower fell into a deathly silence.

Those around him only saw a dazzling sword light flash before their eyes, making their eyes dry. In the blink of an eye, Tian Boguang was dead.

Everyone swallowed hard, their eyes filled with shock and fear as they looked at Bai Li.

In the corner, Lu Xiaofeng narrowed his eyes. Among everyone present, he was the only one who could barely catch a trace of the sword's trajectory.

What a fast sword!

Unexpectedly, this Huashan disciple's sword was so fast. With just this one sword strike, he was already qualified to fight Ximen Chuixue. If he could comprehend the sword intent in the future, then there would probably be another top swordsman in the world.

Thinking of this, Lu Xiaofeng took a deep look at Bai Li, his figure blurred, and he left Huiyan Tower, the afterimage he left behind slowly dissipating.

"Brother Tian!"

Linghu Chong finally reacted, standing up in fury. He was shocked by Bai Li's swordsmanship, which was so fast that he couldn't even react in time. He was also furious that Bai Li had killed Tian Boguang without saying a word. He couldn't help but shout angrily, "Junior brother, how could you kill Brother Tian? Although Brother Tian was a bit of a playboy, he was still a forthright man. You..."

"Shut up!"

Bai Li roared angrily, saying sternly, "Senior Brother, I took your drinking and fraternizing with the womanizer as a temporary measure, but to stand up for a womanizer, you should go and explain to Master and Mistress yourself!"

"Senior Brother, you shouldn't say that about Eleven. He did nothing wrong."

Yue Lingshan looked at Linghu Chong with disappointment in her eyes and said indignantly.

"Junior Sister..." Linghu Chong saw the way Yue Lingshan looked at him and felt a pang in his heart. An indescribable feeling of frustration was stuck in his chest, unable to rise or fall, making him extremely uncomfortable.

"That's right, Young Master Bai did a good job killing him."

"Well done, Young Master Bai."

"Tian Boguang deserved to die, and Young Hero Bai rid the people of this scourge..."

A chorus of agreement immediately rose from the Huiyan Tower.

That's how the world is. If you win, you're a respected hero, showered with compliments; if you lose, you're nothing but a scoundrel, ignored by everyone, and even trampled on by other snakes, insects, and rats.

"That's not how it works."

Seeing this, Yilin, her face flushed with anxiety, jumped out to defend Linghu Chong: "It's all because of me that Senior Brother Linghu was drinking and gambling with Tian Boguang. Senior brothers and sisters, please don't misunderstand Senior Brother Linghu."

Before Linghu Chong could explain...

Another loud shout came from the doorway, "Where is Tian Boguang?"

Daoist Tiansong charged out with his sword, but upon seeing the scene before him, he was slightly taken aback. What happened? Am I late again?

"Uncle-Master!" Chi Baicheng was overjoyed to see Daoist Tiansong and squeezed past others to rush to Daoist Tiansong's side.

Seeing that he was unharmed, Daoist Tiansong breathed a sigh of relief and patted him on the shoulder: "Nephew Chi, it's good that you're alright, otherwise how could I explain to your master?"

"Uncle-Master, we have to thank Junior Brother Bai of the Huashan Sect for saving us. Here's what happened..." Chi Baicheng recounted the entire scene at Huiyan Tower to Daoist Tiansong.

Daoist Tiansong was first surprised by Bai Li's high level of swordsmanship, and then pleased that the Huashan Sect had produced such a talented disciple.

The Songshan Sect is currently very powerful, and the Taishan Sect is internally divided. If the Huashan Sect were to step up, it would greatly alleviate the pressure on the Taishan Sect.

Daoist Tiansong looked at Bai Li with gentle eyes and said with a smile, "Sect Leader Yue is truly blessed to have a disciple like Junior Nephew Bai! When I see him, I will definitely offer him my congratulations."

"Uncle-Master, you flatter me..."

After exchanging a few pleasantries, Daoist Tiansong took his leave with Chi Baicheng.

Bai Li glanced at the corner of Huiyan Tower, which was now empty.

Seeing that there was no more excitement to be had, the people upstairs gradually left. The once bustling Huiyan Tower quickly quieted down.

Only four people remained in the room, creating an eerie atmosphere.

Bai Li broke the silence and said to Linghu Chong, "Senior Brother, why don't you take Junior Sister and this Hengshan Sect junior sister to meet Master and Mistress first? I still have some things to take care of, I'll come find you later."

"Where are you going for the National Day holiday? I want to go too!" Yue Lingshan protested, tugging at Bai Li's sleeve and refusing to give up.

"Honey, what I need to do isn't very convenient for you. I'll join you after I've finished my business."

Bai Li spent a while calming Yue Lingshan down, then nodded to Linghu Chong and Yilin. With a wisp of breeze from his sleeve, he vanished from the spot.

Yue Lingshan pouted and stomped her feet. "You're not playing with me again! I'm not happy!"

Linghu Chong moved his lips as if he wanted to say something, but swallowed the words back down.

He glanced at Tian Boguang's body and sighed deeply.

The green plum was no match for the unexpected!
