The Villain's Counterattack

Tian Boguang woke up slowly and found himself lying on a bed, tied up and unable to move. He struggled to sit up, but heard the sound of swords and knives outside. He immediately understood his situation. In just half a year, Linghu Chong had not only advanced to the first-class level, but his swordsmanship was even better than his own.

He originally wanted to cheat, but was seen through by a man in green. If he guessed correctly, that person should be the legendary Senior Feng Qingyang from Huashan.

Thinking of his own situation, Tian Boguang was overwhelmed with grief and couldn't help but burst into tears.

The cries of swords and knives outside gradually died down, and a strange young voice rang out: "You are howling, a grown man, a flower thief, so many young girls have hanged themselves because of you, and you don't even have a good reputation after your death, and you still have the nerve to cry."

"I, I..." Tian Boguang also knew that he was not a good person, but he thought that he was just lustful and not a completely bad person. At least he attached great importance to loyalty.

"Who are you?" Tian Boguang was slightly stunned when he saw a handsome young man coming in, and then he reacted: "Lin Pingzhi?"

"Oh, I didn't expect the famous Tian Boguang to know my name. Is he interested in one of my family members?" Lin Pingzhi lifted him up and walked out. "But my sister is the only one left in Huashan. She's not even nine years old yet. Are you sure you have some tricks up your sleeve, you beast?"

"I, no matter how beastly I am, I would never set my sights on a nine-year-old girl."

"Oh, you admit that you are a beast?"

Tian Boguang saw Linghu Chong sitting there breathlessly and meditating to rest, and an old man in a green robe with his hands behind his back overlooking the earth. He knew that there was no hope for him to take Linghu Chong away. Feng Qingyang was a recognized top master, and Lin Pingzhi had also killed Yu Canghai single-handedly.

Although Tian Boguang was very confident in his martial arts, he did not think he could be stronger than the top ten masters of the righteous path. Yu Canghai's reputation was not false. Although he was a narrow-minded person, his martial arts were definitely not bad, at least better than his own.

What made him even sadder was that Linghu Chong, whose martial arts skills were originally inferior to his own, somehow ate some golden kela and made rapid progress to become a first-rate martial artist, and was even able to defeat him. This was really unreasonable.

After a while, Linghu Chong recovered. This "Purple Cloud Magic Art" did have some tricks for recovery, but it consumed a lot of energy and progressed slowly. If Linghu Chong wanted to truly reach the top level, he would have to wait, unless he obtained the "Star Absorbing Art" as in the original novel.

"Brother Tian, ​​I also respect you as a man. Although good and evil cannot coexist, you have treated me well. I am also grateful for your favor in the matter of Junior Sister Yilin. Now you can go." Linghu Chong cut the rope with a sword and let Tian Boguang leave.

"I have been hit by a fatal point and poisoned. If I can't take you back, I will surely die. It is better for me to die under your sword. At least I can leave a good reputation." Tian Boguang was disheartened, but he refused to leave.

"Don't worry, no matter how you die, you will not have a good reputation in the end, so go back and prepare for your funeral." Lin Pingzhi comforted Tian Boguang in a kind voice, but his words were really not flattering.

Tian Boguang explained his situation to Linghu Chong one by one, winning Linghu Chong's sympathy, but causing Feng Qingyang and Lin Pingzhi to shake their heads.

"Tian Boguang, Tian Boguang, what kind of existence is Mount Heng, the Northern Peak? How could someone possibly use a slow-acting poison? I don't even have that thing in my hands. Besides, there are only a limited number of slow-acting poisons. Apart from Gu Shu and the Demon Sect's Three Corpses Brain Pill, the others just take effect more slowly, but not at a fixed time. That expert is obviously trying to trick you. As for the fatal point..."

"Not to mention Senior Feng and I's martial arts attainments, Linghu Chong alone is now a top-notch master. Coupled with the magical power of the Purple Cloud Divine Art, it is enough to help you solve the problem. But you cried in vain. Tian Boguang, I tell you, you will not die from the poison today, nor will you die from the so-called fatal point. If you die, there is only one reason, and that is that you are a bad person and there is no hope for salvation."

"As long as you promise to mend your ways, I'll let Linghu Chong rescue you. How about that?" Lin Pingzhi swaggered over and said, "Killing you won't be difficult. Even if you and Linghu Chong team up, the outcome won't change, unless Senior Feng is willing to let you go."

Tian Boguang said with a sad face: "Now I have to quit, even if I want to do bad things, I can't do it, that damn monk."

Lin Pingzhi thought about it carefully and immediately understood. It turned out that this guy had already decided to quit drinking. So, let him be. He winked at Linghu Chong and walked down the mountain first. "Senior Feng, you haven't tasted my chef's cooking yet. I will tell them to prepare something sumptuous. I will have a good lunch with you at noon today. However, your wife has instructed you not to drink alcohol."

"Junior sister loves me the most, so she won't ban me from drinking. It's all you who's behind this." Although Linghu Chong knew that Lin Pingzhi meant well, he was still quite indignant. I'm already a first-rate master now, okay? I've also practiced the "Purple Cloud Divine Art". It's just a drink, it won't have any effect on me, why does she have to ban me from drinking?

"Alcohol can make people lose their temper and make the swordsman's hands unstable." Lin Pingzhi made up an excuse at random, and the man had disappeared. His lightness skills made Tian Boguang feel frightened. If he wanted to kill him, could he really escape?

"Junior sister is not here, what a mess." Linghu Chong was indignant. Thinking of the two jars of fine wine that he kicked away yesterday, he felt it was a pity. He should have drunk them all earlier. No, it would be better to keep them and drink them slowly.

Tian Boguang's acupuncture point danger was resolved, and he roughly guessed what the so-called chronic poison was, and then he floated away. Lin Pingzhi did not stop him, but watched him leave before taking two flying riders to the Cliff of Repentance.

In the following days, Lin Pingzhi accompanied Linghu Chong in practicing the "Purple Cloud Divine Art" and followed Feng Qingyang to learn the "Nine Swords of Dugu". His intelligence was even better than Linghu Chong, and he learned the "Nine Swords of Dugu" three points faster than Linghu Chong, which made Feng Qingyang sigh that he was getting old.

Although Lin Pingzhi had advanced to the top ranks, he was at the bottom of the group. He naturally would not miss the opportunity to ask Feng Qingyang for advice. The two of them talked about literature and martial arts every day, and practiced a few moves from time to time, allowing Lin Pingzhi to continue to make rapid progress on the road to the top without any stagnation.

It is different to have someone guide you than to figure things out on your own, so Lin Pingzhi has been trying hard to please Feng Qingyang these days. All kinds of delicious food and drinks are pouring in like crazy, making Feng Qingyang a little overwhelmed.

Linghu Chong's teachings were not all used on the Dugu Nine Swords. Instead, they were used to improve his swordsmanship on the basis of the Dugu Nine Swords, and fed back to the Huashan swordsmanship, taking his swordsmanship to a higher level and reaching a state of freedom. In the fight with Lin Pingzhi, they were able to fight back and forth, unlike before when he was completely suppressed.

Of course, this was only the result of Lin Pingzhi suppressing his realm. If he had gone all out, with his strength as a top master, Linghu Chong would still have to kneel. Although the Dugu Nine Swords was powerful, Lin Pingzhi's speed was extremely fast when he was at full strength. Even if he could see the weaknesses of the moves, he would not have time to crack them. What's more, Lin Pingzhi's realm was very high and his moves had few weaknesses.

After receiving news from Lin Pingzhi and knowing that Tian Boguang had been defeated, Yue Buqun returned to Huashan with his wife and daughter. Led by Lin Pingzhi, he visited Feng Qingyang at night and reached a preliminary agreement. He learned the whole story of "Sunflower Manual" and "Bixie Sword Manual" from Feng Qingyang. After hearing the first two key points, he retreated directly.

Yue Buqun is now a genuine top master, and with Feng Qingyang in charge of Huashan, there is naturally no need for him to castrate himself to practice sword. But when he thinks of Dongfang Bubai and Lin Yuantu, he suddenly feels that he is not the worst off.
