Swords emerge from Mount Hua, sweeping across the heavens from the world of Swordsman.

A powerful surge of internal energy flowed from his sleeves, dispersing the force of the attack.

However, she was thrown back several meters before regaining her balance, her face full of astonishment.

"Yue Buqun?"

"Greetings, Master Dongfang!"

Yue Zhuoqun stood before Yilin, holding the Gentleman's Sword, and nodded with a smile.

"Uncle Yue!"

Yilin, standing behind, covered her chest with both hands, her heart filled with surprise and joy.

My martial uncle has come to my rescue again!

“Yilin is just a junior in my Five Mountains Sword Sect, so Leader Dongfang need not make things difficult for her. I have come here on our appointment, so may I let her go down the mountain first?”

Dongfang Bubai put away the sachet, his expression regaining its domineering air: "You didn't even bring Qu Yang's head, and you still want me to release him?"

"The sect leader is highly skilled in martial arts. If he really wanted to kill Qu Yang, he could have done it himself last night."

You didn't make a move, yet you sent me here. Surely your real purpose is something else?"

As Yue Zhuoqun spoke, he glanced at Dongfang Bubai's two subordinates.

There was a man and a woman. The man was unknown, but the woman was He Hongyao from the Five Poisons Sect.

More than four months have passed since the Life and Death Talisman was applied to He Hongyao, and the antidote has long been used up.

Chapter 49 Fierce Battle in the East

When He Hongyao caught Yue Zhuoqun's gaze, her body trembled with a sense of utter terror.

Yue Zhuoqun had only given her three antidotes to suppress the Life and Death Talisman, which she had used up a month ago.

For the past month, I have been suffering from that pain and itching every single moment.

Thanks to the Five Poisons Sect's expertise in using poison, she came up with the idea of ​​using snake venom to suppress the torment of the Life and Death Talisman.

A type of snake bred in the religion, whose venom has a nerve-paralyzing effect, so that after being bitten, one can not feel the pain of death for a short period of time.

However, this only treats the symptoms, not the root cause. As soon as the nerve paralysis ends, the pain will immediately follow.

At first, a snake bite would last for a whole day, but now it only lasts for two hours, and my arms are covered with snake bite marks.

I don't know if it was the fear in my heart, but the paralyzing effect of the snake venom wore off again, and the pain returned.

"Ah~ it hurts so much~"

"younger sister!"

The man's expression changed, and he tightly embraced He Hongyao, pleadingly looking at Dongfang Bubai: "Master, please save my sister."

Dongfang Bubai then said to Yue Zhuoqun, "I never expected that the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun would also use my demonic methods to control people. I really don't know what those so-called righteous people gave you. I think you should be called the Hypocrite Yue Buqun."

Yue Zhuoqun was completely unfazed by her mockery:

"To judge whether a person is good or bad, look at what they do, not what means they use."

In my opinion, martial arts skills and methods are neither good nor evil.

If someone uses righteous means to deal with good people, then he is a complete devil.

Using demonic methods to deal with bad people is also a way of eliminating evil and protecting the righteous path.

"Since Miss He stole someone else's treasure, there's nothing wrong with me punishing her with the Life and Death Talisman."

As he said this, a smirk appeared on his lips: "Besides, the Eastern Cult Leader has used the Three Corpse Brain God Pill to control the followers of the Sun Moon Cult quite a bit. His methods are much more domineering than mine."

The Three Corpse Brain God Pill is a poison controlled by the leader of the Sun Moon Divine Cult. Its refining method is unpredictable, and each variation requires a corresponding antidote.

This poison contains three types of corpse worms. There are no abnormalities immediately after ingestion, but the corpse worms will awaken every Dragon Boat Festival. If the antidote is not taken in time, the poisoned person will suffer the pain of having their brain bitten, act like a ghost or demon, and even bite and eat their parents, wife, and children when they go crazy.

This terrifying outcome is even more horrific than the activation of the Life and Death Talisman.

After all, the Life and Death Talisman only causes pain to the user, while the Three Corpse Brain God Pill will harm those around them.

Dongfang Bubai curled his lip.

Those he controlled with the Three Corpse Brain God Pill were all followers who harbored disloyalty towards him.

After all, he had obtained his position as leader illegitimately. There were quite a few rebels and dissatisfactions in the past. Without the Three Corpse Brain God Pill to control him, the sect would have been in chaos long ago.

He never used such methods to control his loyal brothers within the cult; in fact, he even gave them important positions.

He Hongyao is the Holy Maiden of the Five Poisons Sect, and her brother is the leader of the Five Poisons Sect. He is extremely loyal to her and it is impossible for him to sit idly by.

However, she was too lazy to explain to Yue Zhuoqun: "How can I help He Hongyao get rid of the torment?"

This was one of her purposes for this trip; the second was to deal with Qu Yang.

"I already told Miss He the conditions for removing the Life and Death Talisman: hand over the Three Treasures of the Five Poisons Sect."

"Hmph! How about this, I can spare Qu Yang's life, and you can relieve her pain, then we'll even things out."

"Sorry, I must get the Three Treasures."

The Golden Snake Sword and Golden Snake Cone can help Xia Xueyi improve her strength. The Jianwen Emperor's treasure contains millions of taels of gold and silver, which can help Huashan's development. We must get our hands on it.

Dongfang Bubai's face immediately darkened: "You are the first person in the past ten years to dare to refuse me."

"This is because Yue has the confidence and strength to back it up."

"Hahaha!"

Dongfang Bubai threw his head back and laughed loudly.

He himself is hailed as the number one martial arts master, how dare Yue Zhuoqun say he has the confidence and strength?

"Fine, I'd like to see how you come up with such outrageous words."

snort~

Dongfang Bubai transformed into a red phantom, instantly appearing before Yue Zhuoqun, his two fingers, brimming with energy, aimed at his throat.

Yue Zhuoqun had been on guard all along, but he was still taken aback by the speed of the other party.

He could climb a thousand-foot cliff with the Golden Goose Skill, and his lightness skill was already extraordinary. However, compared with the opponent's lightness skill, his speed was far inferior.

Although startled, he remained calm and composed.

With a flick of his wrist, the Gentleman's Sword rose with a whoosh, its tip pointing directly at Dongfang Bubai's chest.

To break through an enemy's attack using the Dugu Nine Swords, one must first anticipate the enemy's moves, and secondly, be faster than others.

Yue Zhuoqun was adept at anticipating the enemy's moves; he noticed the vulnerability in the attack the moment the opponent's fingers struck.

However, he couldn't be one step ahead of Dongfang Bubai, as his opponent's moves were much faster than his.

I'm afraid that before he can even unleash his counter-attack sword technique, his throat will be pierced.

Therefore, Yue Zhuoqun simply didn't break the finger thrust attack, but instead broke the opponent's movement technique.

If Dongfang Bubai doesn't change his moves, the Gentleman's Sword will pierce Dongfang Bubai's heart at the same time his fingers pierce his throat.

What appears to be a lose-lose situation is actually a move in which he has a sure-win advantage.

After all, he also knows the Ambidextrous Technique and the Spiritual Finger Technique, which allows him to trap Dongfang Bubai's attacks while killing him.

However, Dongfang Bubai was not prepared to perish together with him; Meiying swiftly moved to the side.

"Good swordsmanship, but not enough to deal with me!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dongfang Bubai's speed doubled again, and red light flashed in the arena, leaving behind a series of afterimages.

Yue Zhuoqun could hardly keep up with the opponent's movements, as if the opponent had created two or three clones and was attacking him from all directions at the same time.

"The Eastern Cult Leader is also skilled in light-footed martial arts."

The Gentleman's Sword strikes three parts at once, simultaneously piercing the phantoms in the left, center, and right directions.

snort~

Unsurprisingly, all three sword strikes missed their mark, and the phantom vanished into thin air as a gentle breeze.

But just then, he suddenly felt a chill down his back, and the hairs on his back stood on end. A swift and ruthless attack struck his back.

It turns out that the first three attacks were all feints by Dongfang Bubai, a deliberate attempt to create confusion, while the real attack was aimed at his back.

The technique of "one sword, three parts" was very skillful, but when the move missed, it was too late to withdraw the sword and block.

"Ah~ Uncle Yue, be careful..."

Yilin, who was shielded behind him, saw the whole scene clearly and instinctively gasped in surprise.

However, the moment her voice rang out, Yue Zhuoqun's free left hand moved.

He didn't have time to turn around, nor did he know what move Dongfang Bubai was using, so he directly activated the technique of "Shifting Flowers and Jade".

He felt a sharp pain in his palm as he struck Dongfang Bubai's fingertips.

Fortunately, he possessed profound internal strength, which allowed him to maintain a firm advantage over his opponent, and he was not seriously injured.

He flipped his palm, grabbed Dongfang Bubai's wrist and pulled it to the side, then swung his palm forward.

Bang!
