Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

Now, by using Cheng Kun to kill Yin Tianzheng, everything will be perfect.

Just then, Zhang Wuji roared from the bag that couldn't be spoken of. He clearly realized that Yin Tianzheng had been murdered.

The Qiankun Qi Bag began to swell again, but it didn't completely burst open due to the suppression of Shuobude.

Lin Yaoxie gave Shuobude a wink, and the latter nodded, gently removing his palm, brimming with true energy, from the cloth bag.

The bag suddenly expanded violently, and with a 'bang,' it burst open, and Zhang Wuji stood up from inside, his hands in the air.

Having finally seen the light of day again, Zhang Wuji immediately spotted Yin Tianzheng, who was sitting dead with his eyes still open. Then he struck Cheng Kun, who stood before Yin Tianzheng, his face covered in blood, having just withdrawn his Illusionary Yin Finger technique.

"Cheng Kun, you beast! I will avenge my grandfather and godfather!" Zhang Wuji's blood boiled. Looking at the corpse in front of him, and recalling the agony his godfather suffered on Icefire Island, constantly going mad on the night of the full moon, he was overwhelmed with grief and could no longer control his emotions.

He could see no one but Cheng Kun. He roared and clenched his fist as he attacked Cheng Kun.

He channeled all the Nine Yang Qi into his body and then unleashed the Seven Injury Fist. The Seven Injury Fist was taught to Zhang Wuji by Xie Xun on Icefire Island. In the past five years, Zhang Wuji had been practicing the Nine Yang Manual, and his internal energy was surging exceptionally, but his progress in other martial arts techniques was practically zero.

Now that he has no weapons at hand, he has no choice but to use the Seven Injury Fist to deal with his mortal enemy, Cheng Kun.

Cheng Kun was initially uneasy, fearing the wrath of Lin Yaoxie after killing Yin Tianzheng. But in a fleeting glance, he discovered that not only did Lin Yaoxie show no reaction, but among the Ming Cult members, apart from Yang Xiao who looked distressed, the others even wore smiles.

It seems that killing Yin Tianzheng is something everyone is happy to see.

There must be a story behind this, but Cheng Kun couldn't figure it out in a short time.

Moreover, Zhang Wuji had already charged forward, so Cheng Kun had no time to think further.

Zhang Wuji learned the Seven Injury Fist from Xie Xun, who in turn learned it from Cheng Kun. Therefore, demonstrating the Seven Injury Fist in front of Cheng Kun would be akin to showing off one's limited skills before an expert.

Since no one cared about killing Yin Tianzheng, no one should care about killing someone who came from who-knows-where and is suspected to be Yin Tianzheng's grandson.

Therefore, Cheng Kun's men showed no mercy and threw a punch, also using the Seven Injury Fist.

The Seven Injury Fist, even before injuring the internal organs, is still considered a powerful technique. Its devastating force is certainly not to be underestimated.

The two fists collided, but it felt as if fourteen fists had collided.

Although Zhang Wuji had the Nine Yang Divine Skill protecting him, it was still no match for Cheng Kun, who had been cunning and treacherous and had been biding his time at Shaolin Temple for a long time.

In the ensuing struggle, Cheng Kun staggered back a step, while Zhang Wuji was sent flying back three steps before collapsing to the ground, unconscious.

"What an amazing little kid! His inner strength is so profound that he has already joined the ranks of top masters!" Cheng Kun was also surprised. He stepped forward, extended his Illusionary Yin Finger, and aimed it at Zhang Wuji's back, preparing to deliver a fatal blow.

Zhang Wuji certainly has to die, but not now, and not at Cheng Kun's hands. Zhang Wuji is the undisputed protagonist of the Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber world, and also a widow after the entire story ends. Lin Yaoxie would receive a very generous reward of Demon King Points for personally killing him; this temptation is not something Lin Yaoxie can resist.

With a swift movement, he arrived in front of Zhang Wuji at a speed ten times faster than Cheng Kun.

Facing the Illusionary Yin Finger, he also unleashed a finger-sword attack.

Cheng Kun had already sensed that Lin Yaoxie was coming to his aid. Although he was still very puzzled, he didn't have time to stop his attack.

Cheng Kun was also wondering how strong Lin Yaoxie really was; it was hard to say. After all, he hadn't sensed even the slightest bit of killing intent emanating from Lin Yaoxie.

If this Demon Emperor is merely intimidating in appearance but lacks real ability, then wouldn't Cheng Kun become like Zhongda, scared away by the dead Zhuge Liang?

Since Lin Yaoxie has stepped in to help Zhang Wuji, that's perfect. Cheng Kun is just about to use his most powerful move to test his skills against this world-renowned Demon Emperor Lin Yaoxie.

The Illusionary Yin Finger met the sword finger, which was filled with the power of the Nine Yang Skill!

Chapter 160: It Was Them! [Second Update]

With a soft thud, Cheng Kun was sent flying, leaving a pool of blood beneath him.

Lin Yaoxie withdrew his index finger and looked at Cheng Kun: "As expected of the Hunyuan Thunderbolt Hand, he is ruthless not only to others, but also to himself."

Just now, when the two fingers touched, Lin Yaoxie's Long Elephant Nine Yang Skill was the nemesis of the Illusionary Yin Finger. Moreover, because of the Long Elephant Nine Yang Skill's unique ability to change the force of space, Cheng Kun's body was trapped in mid-air by Lin Yaoxie in the blink of an eye.

If Cheng Kun hadn't used his internal force to break his arm and break free from Lin Yaoxie's absorption power, he would be a corpse now.

Cheng Kun was pale, his right arm was severed, and blood was gushing out from the severed arm.

Cheng Kun tried several times to press the acupoints on the major arteries at the site of his severed arm with his left hand. However, after struggling several times, he found that the injury was too severe this time, and he was completely unable to lift his other arm.

"The Demon Emperor is indeed the Demon Emperor, worthy of being the number one god-emperor under heaven." Cheng Kun was completely convinced, lying on the ground and laughing dryly.

Lin Yaoxie looked down at Cheng Kun with an air of supreme authority and said calmly, "You are also very strong, much stronger than the Cheng Kun I remember. If I weren't in such a hurry to leave, you might have become a good assistant to me."

Lin Yaoxie was speaking from the heart. The Cheng Kun he encountered in this world was more ruthless and decisive than in the original story, and his martial arts were also stronger.

In the original novel, Zhang Wuji also practiced the Nine Yang Divine Skill for five years before leaving the mountain. He displayed his great power on Bright Peak and scared Cheng Kun away with a single move.

In this world, Cheng Kun is clearly much more powerful than in the original story. Even when Zhang Wuji broke free of the bag, he was easily defeated in a fight with Cheng Kun.

It can be said that if Lin Yaoxie hadn't suddenly appeared, the Ming Cult in this world would have been wiped out by Cheng Kun in one fell swoop.

Cheng Kun's ruthlessness and cunning are exactly what Lin Yaoxie needs.

However, Lin Yaoxie's main mission is to quickly unify China and then return to the main world.

This world is no longer suitable for Lin Yaoxie. He is already a god in this world, so it no longer serves as a training ground for him. According to the system, he should leave this world and head to the next world, which is more challenging.

Since that's the case, Cheng Kun has no reason to continue living. Cheng Kun is a stinking old man, not a beauty either, and has no right to enter Lin Yaoxie's space, much less to travel between different worlds with Lin Yaoxie.

Moreover, for the sake of the world's stability, Lin Yaoxie could not leave behind an unstable element like Cheng Kun to disrupt his future arrangements for the world's ruler.

"Cheng Kun, you deserve to die. What else is there to say?" Lin Yaoxie raised his finger from afar, pointing it at Cheng Kun like a pistol.

"Cough cough cough." Cheng Kun coughed repeatedly, his face showing a smile that was a mixture of pain in his arm and relief: "There's nothing to say. Losing is losing. Although I don't understand it, defeat is defeat."

Lin Yaoxie said calmly, "Your failure was inevitable. Even without my intervention, you would still have been unable to destroy the Ming Cult."

Cheng Kun scoffed, "Demon Emperor, I admit you're powerful. But if you really didn't show up, do you think this bunch of trash could withstand my Illusionary Yin Finger and the encirclement of the six major sects?"

"Who says we can't stop them?" The sharp voice of the Azure-Winged Bat King Wei Yixiao rang out. At the same time, he leaped up from the ground, dusted himself off, glared at Cheng Kun, and then bowed to Lin Yaoxie: "Greetings, Master. Xiao San pays his respects."

Then the Laughing Buddha jumped up and said, "Master, I, Little Eleven, went to great lengths to carry Zhang Wuji up here. I deserve more credit than them, don't I?"

Mr. Cold Face, Zhou Dian, Monk Peng, and Taoist Iron Crown stood up at the same time: "Little Eleven, what are you yelling about? Hello, Master. Little Five to Little Eight have met you before."

Cheng Kun looked at the Ming Cult members who were standing up one by one. Apart from Yang Xiao, seven people had already stood up: "How is this possible? How is this possible?"

His face was pale with a hint of red; pale from excessive blood loss, and red from shock at the unbelievable sight before him: "You were all struck by my Illusionary Yin Finger, how can you regain your mobility? What happened?"

"Pah! Your Phantom Yin Finger!" Xiao San Wei Yi Xiao shouted in a shrill voice, "Do you know how tired we were to act in your play? Phantom Yin Finger? Bullshit! When your pure Yin Qi meets our pure Yang Qi, it's like a wife meeting her husband, she can only submit."

After saying that, he tilted his head to ask Lin Yaoxie for his opinion: "Isn't that right, Master? Many women are as docile as kittens in front of you."

"Get out of here, you mistress, do you want to die?" Lin Yaoxie raised his hand, and Wei Yixiao was so frightened that she flew far away.

"Pure Yang True Qi?" Cheng Kun muttered, "Who are you? How could members of the Ming Cult cultivate Pure Yang True Qi? The internal strength of the Green-Winged Bat King and the Five Wanderers couldn't possibly be higher than that of the Left Guardian of Light and the White-Browed Eagle King. Why can't they move, but you can?"

Yang Xiao, still sitting on the ground, said coldly, "Cheng Kun, don't you understand that the Bat King and the Five Wanderers were sent by His Majesty the Demon Emperor? Have you forgotten the Demon Emperor's most powerful team?"

Cheng Kun felt his body growing colder and colder; everything had happened too fast. From the moment he gained control of the situation to the sudden reversal, everything had happened too quickly.

"The strongest team. Could it be that, could it be that you, Azure Wing Bat King, are—" Cheng Kun couldn't finish his sentence.

“That’s right!” Monk Peng and Taoist Tieguan, who had been stern-faced, Zhou Dian and Shuobude who had been laughing and cursing, and Leng Qian who had been expressionless, all put on solemn expressions at the same time. Even Bat King Wei Yixiao, who had been standing at the entrance of the main hall looking around, turned his face seriously.

With a simultaneous wave of their hands, each of the six men produced two copper hammers from who-knows-where. In a flash, their gear vanished.

Regardless of height or weight, they all transformed into knights clad in identical, towering black armor, and declared in unison, "We are the most loyal warriors under the Demon Emperor's command."

Cheng Kun understood, completely understood. From the very beginning until now, he had no hope of winning; he had always been a little mouse being toyed with by a cat.

Because his opponent, the opponent he had always ignored, was actually a one-man army, helping the Demon Emperor Lin Yaoxie sweep across the eight wastelands and dominate the Thirteen Black Riders.

Chapter 161: Yang Xiao Couldn't Resist [Third Update]

"Is there anything else to say?" Lin Yaoxie suddenly felt weary of this world.

Cheng Kun was completely convinced: "That's all. I will commit suicide to atone for my sins. All that happened before is now just smoke and clouds, it has nothing to do with me anymore. Junior Sister, wait for me, your senior brother is coming to see you soon."

Having lost his right arm, Cheng Kun now finds suicide quite difficult. His internal energy has dissipated considerably, making it impossible for him to sever his meridians with internal force. He can only lie prone in the pool of blood, slowly sticking out his tongue, then struggling to open his mouth. It seems that Cheng Kun, who has manipulated millions, is about to bite his tongue and commit suicide.

Just as Cheng Kun's teeth were a hair's breadth away from severing his tongue, Lin Yaoxie's fingers moved. A sword aura suddenly shot out, piercing Cheng Kun's heart.

"You are a widow. Killing you will only get me a little over five hundred Demon King Points, but it's better than nothing." Lin Yaoxie no longer looked at the dead Cheng Kun.

He walked toward Yang Xiao, who was still sitting on the ground.

The Green-Winged Bat King and his group have reverted to the Thirteen Riders of the Black Dragon Clan. However, precisely because of this, having abandoned their core identity within the Ming Cult, they failed to rescue Yang Xiao. This is because the Thirteen Riders are loyal guards to Lin Yaoxie, and none of them would act without their master's orders.

Lin Yaoxie walked straight up to Yang Xiao and patted him lightly on the back, making the latter feel completely refreshed.

"Thank you for your help, Your Majesty the Demon Emperor. On behalf of the Ming Cult, I, Yang, am deeply grateful for your great kindness." Yang Xiao looked at the dead White-browed Eagle King and Cheng Kun, as well as the unconscious Zhang Wuji, and was overwhelmed with emotion, not knowing how to express it.

Lin Yaoxie asked casually, "When did you find out that I had placed the Black Long Knight in the Ming Cult?"

Yang Xiao looked into Lin Yaoxie's eyes, his gaze slightly evasive: "Your Majesty, do you want me to tell the truth?"

"Whatever." Lin Yaoxie shrugged. "Say whatever you want. If I find out you're lying, Yin Tianzheng's fate will be your fate."

Yang Xiao glanced at Yin Tianzheng's lifeless body again, and his whole body trembled: "Actually, ever since Sect Leader Yang Dingtian died, I've sensed something was wrong. I've always been on good terms with Sect Leader Yang; he told me everything. His wife and..."

Yang Xiao pointed to Cheng Kun, who was lying dead in a pool of blood: "Master Yang actually discovered the affair with Cheng Kun a long time ago. However, since Master Yang mastered the Great Shift of the Universe, he has become less interested in women. That's why he didn't pay much attention to the rekindling of his old feelings for Cheng Kun with his wife."

After catching his breath, Yang Xiao continued, "In the end, Leader Yang still died, and he died suddenly while in a state of demonic possession, leaving behind a will. All these details combined are too abnormal. From that day on, I paid attention to the changes within the Ming Cult, and I inadvertently discovered that most of the core members of the Ming Cult, including Fan Yao, the Right Envoy of Light, were behaving differently than before. Such a large-scale operation can only be attributed to Your Majesty. Your Majesty, I only want to ask one question, are they all dead?"

Lin Yaoxie did not answer directly, but instead clapped his hands: "Everyone says that Yang Xiao seems like a playboy, but in reality he is meticulous. Today I have seen him, and he is not only meticulous, but also has the spirit of King Goujian of Yue who was patient and restrained."

This is tantamount to an indirect admission.

Yang Xiao aged considerably in an instant, and Lin Yaoxie kept a close eye on his changes.

Seeing a faint light flickering in Yang Xiao's dull eyes, Lin Yaoxie reached out and patted Yang Xiao's shoulder again: "Alright, since you already knew everything and have endured it for so many years, just continue to play dumb. Also, from now on, I'll take care of your daughter Yang Buhui. You don't have any objections, do you?"

Yang Xiao's pupils constricted: "Bu Hui? Where is Bu Hui now?"

Lin Yaoxie turned and walked out, followed by several black-gold knights.

As they reached the door, Lin Yaoxie asked Wei Yixiao, the third-ranked Black Gold Knight, "What's the situation outside?"

The mistress's voice was no longer shrill; it had become similar in tone to Hei Long's, perhaps because she was wearing a black helmet.

"The six major sects have launched a full-scale attack on Bright Peak. The Five Elements Flag and Yin Yewang have split into six routes to meet the attack. Apart from the five of us brothers pretending to be snakes to hold off the five major sects, the Emei sect, which is facing Yin Yewang, has already reached the halfway point of the mountain."

Lin Yaoxie laughed loudly: "Wushuang's little grand-disciple is quite capable. Under her leadership, the Emei Sect is developing rapidly."

"Yes." Xiao San followed Lin Yaoxie outside and asked in a low voice, "Master, should we have our five brothers summon the Corpse Wolves to give the five major sects a head-on blow?"

"No, no, no!" Lin Yaoxie clapped his hands: "Not only do you not want them, you also want them to pretend to retreat and let the five major sects come up the mountain."

"Yes, I understand." Although Xiao San was unaware of what was going on, he still moved with lightning speed and flew away in a flash.
