The Villain's Counterattack

It has to be said that Shi Feixuan is a real acting talent, an acting talent who can even deceive herself. She started from the fact that Kou Zhong stirred up the struggle between forces in the world and Ba Fenghan's foreigner identity, and then turned the subject directly to Xu Ziling, blaming him for the theft of the Heshi Bi.

Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling depend on each other for survival. Their wisdom and strength are similar and it seems that there is no difference between them. However, because of Li Xiuning, Kou Zhong began to concentrate on martial arts and intended to dominate the world, which distracted too much of his energy. On the other hand, Xu Ziling gradually turned to self-improvement, both in spiritual realm and personal strength.

Facing this crisis, Ba Fenghan gathered his strength, Kou Zhong ran around, but Xu Ziling devoted himself to making many preparations against Shi Feixuan. He quickly seized the flaw in Shi Feixuan's words and launched a counterattack, turning the passive position into the active one.

It's a pity that he was not a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect at that time, but a Yangzhou gangster who had just made a name for himself. He was only accompanied by two companions, Kou Zhong and Ba Fenghan, who also came from humble backgrounds. He was far inferior to Shi Feixuan, who had the support of Cihang Jingzhai and Jingnian Zen Temple.

As soon as Ba Fenghan stepped forward, he was intimidated by Master Lekong, who had broken his silent meditation. They knew better than anyone else how terrifying Master Lekong was, and that he was definitely not comparable to them at the moment. If Master Lekong attacked them, they would definitely not be spared. Fortunately, Master Lekong was of a very high rank, and he would not attack them unless he had no other choice. After all, the so-called upright still had to maintain some dignity.

Based on the fact that two of the Four Vajras survived, Shi Feixuan pinned the blame on Xu Ziling, but unexpectedly, she hit the mark. However, Shi Feixuan, who was deceiving others and herself at the same time, did not realize this.

In her mind, the person who stole the Heshi Bi must be a master whose power surpassed that of Chan Master Lu Kong, most likely a Grandmaster, or at least a half-step Grandmaster, absolutely no match for a young man like Xu Ziling. However, she couldn't reveal the truth, otherwise Jingnian Chanyuan would inevitably fall into a greater crisis.

However, Xu Ziling's strength was somewhat beyond Shi Feixuan's imagination. She had not really fought with anyone since she left Cihang Jingzhai, but she had a good vision. She was praised as a rising star in Cihang Jingzhai whose talent and gifts were even better than Fan Qinghui and Bi Xiuxin.

However, compared to the Son of Fortune, who still had the help of Yang Xuyan, a celestial being, he was still somewhat inferior. While the Cihang Sword Canon was powerful, the Changsheng Jue was even better in terms of internal strength. In terms of moves, Changsheng Jue was indeed blank, but the Tianshan Six Yang Palm taught by Yang Xuyan, and the Finger Sword Technique and Dugu Nine Swords Sword Breaking Style taught by Dugu Feng were also not inferior to the Cihang Sword Canon in terms of moves.

The two men fought together. Shi Feixuan was not able to gain the upper hand despite her careful planning. Instead, she was forced into a state of panic by Xu Ziling who used the sword-breaking style with both hands. Her sharp sword skills were restricted in every way and she could not use them properly.

The fight between the two was quite exciting. Xu Ziling displayed his light Kung Fu skills and used the Dugu Nine Swords Sword Breaking Style with his finger-snapping sword technique. When he and Shi Feixuan fought together, both of them felt a little tricky. Not far away, two young and beautiful women watched this scene with strange smiles on their faces.

"You are very mean. You only taught Xu the Sword-Breaking Style, but deliberately hid the Qi-Breaking Style. If the two are combined, how can Shi Feixuan be his opponent? If only the Qi-Breaking Style and the Sword-Breaking Style are the same, then there will be no suppression." Shan Wanjing glanced at Dugu Feng. According to the time of entry, she was the senior sister, but in terms of strength, she was one step behind. However, under the guidance of the master in the past few days, she has vaguely found an opportunity for a breakthrough and believes that she will be able to catch up soon.

Dugu Feng said with a grin, "If that's the case, then it's too boring. And this is all Master's fault. It was too late to promote them to registered disciples. In just half a day, it was already very difficult for them to learn the Finger Sword Technique and the Sword Breaking Style and master them thoroughly. Not to mention integrating the more advanced sword technique like the Qi Breaking Style. This is really a bit difficult."

Shan Wanjing rolled her eyes. She only believed Dugu Feng halfway, and she wasn't so secretive as to hide her secrets. The Xiaoyao Sect had a small number of disciples to begin with. Besides their master, Kou Zhong and Xu Ziling were the only male disciples. Compared to Kou Zhong, who had ambitions and a more utilitarian mindset, Xu Ziling, with his handsome appearance and free-spirited demeanor that better matched the Xiaoyao Sect's ethos, was more popular with them.

"Who do you think will win?"

"As long as Xu isn't stupid enough to fight Master Nun with his internal energy, there's no way we can lose with the martial arts of our Xiaoyao Sect."

"I'm betting that Xu will lose. The bet is one of my Dongming Sect's top-tier swords, which I'll accept custom orders for."

Dugu Feng glanced at Shan Wanjing, then reacted quickly and said calmly, "It's okay to gamble, but not on winning or losing. Xu is a smart guy. He won't strive for victory, but will actively seek defeat when he has the upper hand. It's better for us to bet on moves. Winning or losing is too unchallenging."

Before he finished speaking, the two of them had already flown into the air and were dancing on the water. Shi Feixuan was the direct descendant carefully trained by Cihang Jingzhai. She was best at taking advantage of the situation to suppress others with force, and her martial arts inevitably had some traces of this. Her true energy was circulating at high speed, and she attacked with all her strength without any fancy moves, using force to break through others' tricks.

Xu Ziling used his full strength to perform the Lingbo Microstep, and ripples appeared under his feet. He looked like the Lingbo Immortal, so elegant and handsome that attracted people's attention. The originally fairy-like Shi Feixuan now looked pale in comparison.

At this moment, a figure shot down from the building on the left like an arrow and pounced towards Shi Feixuan. The Demonic Stand instantly enveloped Shi Feixuan and Xu Ziling. "Ding~", Shi Feixuan's sword flew out of her hand. The long silk in Kankan's hand seemed to have a thousand pounds of strength, and it knocked Xu Ziling away. With a "splash", he fell into the water, splashing water all over the sky and disappeared.

The person who came was none other than the demon girl Kankan from the Yingui Sect. She moved freely in the air, and suddenly pressed down with both palms, forcing Shi Feixuan into the water, three feet below the surface.

It was no small feat for Shi Feixuan to become the direct descendant of Cihang Jingzhai and the leader of the Chosen Emperor of Heaven. Moreover, Cihang Jingzhai had a deep understanding of the Yingui Sect's martial arts, so they would not be defeated by such an attack in one blow. They managed to resist it with all their strength.

Just as Cihang Jingzhai understood the Yingui Sect's martial arts, the Yingui Sect was also familiar with Cihang Jingzhai's martial arts. Without intending to do so, Kankan easily took advantage of the force to fly away, and then dived down a second time. Her palms were like butterflies flying through flowers, and she suppressed Shi Feixuan again. This time, she even went seven feet into the water.

Seeing that Master Feixuan was losing ground, Master Lekong chanted Buddhist mantras and flew over at full speed like a meteor chasing the moon.

However, Kankan was extremely fast, and Master Liaokong was unable to quench a nearby fire with distant water. Shi Feixuan lost the sword in her hand, and her strength was instantly reduced by 50%. In addition, she had fought with Xu Ziling for a long time before, and her true energy was seriously depleted. She received two attacks from Kankan in an extremely unfavorable situation, and she could not withstand the third move. With a "bang", she fell into the water and went straight to the bottom of the river, covered in mud.

Seeing Master Lekong approaching, Kankan retreated quickly with a sweet laugh. The long white silk in her hand suddenly flew out, dispersing the energy generated by Master Lekong's attack. She said with a sweet laugh, "Master, you are bullying the weak with your power. Kankan will remember this and will definitely report your heroic deeds to my master. I hope that Master Ning can stay at Jingnian Zen Temple permanently. Otherwise, I will bring my master with me to seek justice from you."

"I wonder if the Jingnian Temple, which has suffered heavy casualties and lost more than half of its people, can withstand the attack of the Holy Sect led by my master." Kankan's words caused a commotion. She flew high up and landed on a small building. She didn't even look at the embarrassed Shi Feixuan and the cold-faced Master Liaokong. She looked at Xu Ziling who emerged from the water on the other side and exclaimed in admiration.

"Zi Ling is truly a master. He bravely broke into the main hall of the Jingnian Zen Temple, which was guarded by hundreds of monks, single-handedly, and stole the Heshi Bi. He defeated Kong, injured the Four Vajra Warriors, and killed hundreds of monks. Finally, he left calmly under the command of the Grandmaster Ning Daoqi. Kankan admires him!"

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere around them suddenly became strange, and everyone looked at Shi Feixuan and Liaokong with a hint of amusement.

"Don't talk nonsense, witch, I..."

Without waiting for Master Lekong to finish, Kankan interrupted him coldly, "Master Ning is only one person after all. I wonder if she's doing her duty faithfully and staying hidden in the dark to protect the young nun from Cihang Jingzhai. If so, tomorrow there will only be a few of you in Jingnian Zen Monastery. After all, apart from my master, who stayed here to protect me and see if he can seize the opportunity to end Lekong's remaining half life, all the other masters of the Saint Sect have already gone to Jingnian Zen Monastery. This golden opportunity to destroy a Buddhist holy place is a once-in-a-century opportunity."
