The Villain's Counterattack

"Dongfang Bubai has been defeated by Mr. Ren and escaped in a panic. Why don't you all go and pay your respects to Master Ren?" Lin Pingzhi pointed at the hiding disciples of the Demon Sect. Everyone was disappointed with Dongfang Bubai and knelt down together, but they felt a little uneasy in their hearts. After all, Dongfang Bubai was not dead and was still on this Black Wood Cliff.

Ren Woxing was no ordinary man. He glanced at them and said, "The Eastern bastard was seriously injured and has already escaped from Blackwood Cliff. His heart meridian was injured by this Sect Leader, so he will surely die soon."

As soon as the news came out, all the people of the Demon Cult came to flatter him. However, Ren Woxing was not too happy. As long as Dongfang Bubai was alive, he would not be at peace. His eyes could not help but turn to Lin Pingzhi. This kid was only concerned with the flowers and the moon, and was always around his precious daughter. He did not have the ambition and lofty aspirations he had said before.

Ren Woxing took over the power of the Demon Cult very smoothly. Just when he was about to appoint Lin Pingzhi as the deputy leader, he turned around and saw that the boy had disappeared with his precious daughter. After asking carefully, he found out that the boy took advantage of the time when he was intimidating everyone and secretly escaped with his precious daughter Ren Yingying, and directly escaped from the Black Wood Cliff.

"Hmph, you're asking for death, kid. Dongfang Bubai is right under the Black Wood Cliff. Wouldn't he be courting death if he runs into it head-on?" Ren Woxing cursed indignantly upon seeing Ren Yingying coming back alone, but still unwilling to give up, he asked his men to pass on the message that Lin Pingzhi was his son-in-law and the deputy leader of the Sun Moon Sect, which made Ren Yingying both ashamed and happy.

Will Lin Pingzhi really meet Dongfang Bubai?

Fate is so magical. Lin Pingzhi did meet Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting, but he also had another helper by his side: Taoist Chongxu.

The wounded Dongfang Bubai and Yang Lianting looked at the spirited Lin Pingzhi and the rosy-faced Taoist Chongxu, their faces pale. "Are you two also going to take advantage of this misfortune and kill this devil of mine?"

"Wulian Tianzun, the leader of the Eastern Sect has unparalleled martial arts skills. Although my friend Lin and I can kill the leader, we are not sure that we can escape unscathed. This old Taoist came here only for the relics of our ancestors. Now that half of the work has been done, I am already satisfied." Taoist Chongxu was a down-to-earth person. He threw a large bag of martial arts secrets to Lin Pingzhi and only kept the "Tai Chi Boxing Classics" for himself.

However, the greedy Lin Pingzhi said that the thing was a good thing and he wanted to copy one. Taoist Chongxu almost got angry. Finally, after bargaining, Lin Pingzhi got the right to borrow it for one hour. Unfortunately, he was interrupted by Dongfang Bubai and wasted a moment in vain.

Dongfang Bubai watched Lin Pingzhi and Taoist Chongxu walk away, feeling quite unhappy. Yang Lianting was cursing and blaming him. Thinking back to how Lin Pingzhi obeyed Ren Yingying in everything, why couldn't he meet such a wonderful man?

"Since Brother Lian likes power, I will take the position of the leader and you can sit on it." Dongfang Bubai was a little short of breath when he spoke. The "Star-Absorbing Art" was indeed overbearing and had hurt his foundation. He had been hit twice and stabbed by Ren Woxing with a sword before, and he had also lost a lot of blood and suffered internal injuries. It was no longer suitable for him to fight.

If Lin Pingzhi and Taoist Chongxu had insisted on attacking him, although he would have been killed, he could have ensured that at least one of them was seriously injured or even killed. However, these two were smart people and would not give him this opportunity.

Dongfang Bubai had already seen through power and money, but the only thing he couldn't see through was feelings. Yang Lianting couldn't give him a stable life, and he wasn't his ideal man. But his heart was tied to him, and he couldn't cut it off.

How could he not know that the Sun and Moon Sect was in such a mess because of Yang Lianting?

The Black Wood Cliff was filled with chaos and foul-mouthed people, and real heroes had died in vain. Dongfang Bubai knew it all clearly, but he just couldn't get past this hurdle. Could it be that, as Lin Pingzhi said, the "Sunflower Manual" and "Bixie Sword Manual" were incomplete, and that he was harming his own body by using incomplete martial arts, and was harmed by them?

Yang Lianting was also seriously injured. As Dongfang Bubai went to find Ping Yizhi for treatment, he was subjected to endless sneak attacks and plots by the Demon Cult along the way. Yang Lianting's evil deeds really made Dongfang Bubai suffer a lot. He was already seriously injured, but he had no access to recuperation. His injuries became more and more serious day by day. When he found Ping Yizhi, he was almost at the end of his life.

In addition to the Demon Sect, the Five Mountains Sword Sect also did not miss the opportunity to take advantage of the situation. Zuo Lengchan sent a letter to the Five Mountains Sword Sect, and they aggressively besieged Dongfang Bubai. Under Ping Yizhi's medical treatment, Dongfang Bubai managed to temporarily suppress his injuries. Fighting alone, he defeated Zuo Lengchan, Yue Buqun, Mo Da, Ding Xian, and Tianmen Taoist Priest, but was finally killed by Ren Woxing's sneak attack.

Before his death, Dongfang Bubai seriously injured Ren Woxing again, but there were many masters of the Demon Sect at that time, and Zuo Lengchan, who was injured, had no intention of continuing to fight with Ren Woxing, so they both retreated.

Yang Lianting ultimately did not escape death, and his death was extremely tragic. Without Dongfang Bubai's protection, his past sins were brought to light. Countless enemies swarmed around him and tortured him for three days and three nights before he took his last breath.

Dongfang Bubai, drenched in blood, defeated countless masters in a row, only to leave behind a final message before his death: the "Sunflower Manual" was in Lin Pingzhi's hands. This blunt frame-up stirred countless hearts, and the truth that practicing the "Sunflower Manual" required castration was also spread. Ren Woxing went to great lengths to undermine Dongfang Bubai's reputation, even cutting off his clothes in public, leaving Dongfang Bubai restless even after his death.

The martial arts world was in chaos because of Dongfang Bubai's death, but the core of the storm was no longer the Demon Cult but Lin Pingzhi. However, this kid casually put up a sign in Meizhuang, West Lake: The best master in the world.

Just as he had said to Huang Zhonggong before, he directly claimed to be the best master in the world and said that if anyone could defeat him, he would hand over the "Sunflower Manual" with both hands. Even if he didn't have one, he would compile one for him. This original statement made many people know that this kid might not really have the "Sunflower Manual" in his hands, but he did have the fragment of the "Sunflower Manual" "Bixie Sword Manual".

Lin Pingzhi's martial arts skills are also top-notch among the top masters. With the assistance of twenty flying cavalrymen, Ding Jian and Shi Lingwei, and the care of local garrisons, people who come to visit can only follow the rules. Most people in the martial arts world can't even pass the flying cavalry level. Occasionally, someone can come to Lin Pingzhi, but he will defeat them cleanly and neatly in a few seconds.

Lin Pingzhi's fame spread quickly, attracting countless attention. Some even spread rumors that he had castrated himself to practice swordsmanship, which nearly drove him crazy. Lin Pingzhi then directly issued a marriage proposal to the world, demanding a young, beautiful woman with excellent martial arts skills and intelligence.

Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan's wedding took place as planned. Lin Pingzhi, unable to attend due to his possession of the Sunflower Manual, nevertheless sent a large number of gifts. Three bodyguards were dispatched from Songshan, nearly disrupting the ceremony, but were ultimately defeated by a furious Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan. While humiliated, they nonetheless discovered the Huashan Sect's hidden weapon: the Quanzhen Sect's orthodox Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique. While only first-rate when used alone, its combined power rivals that of the most powerful martial artists.

It is very good and powerful, but because it cannot be used by a single person, it is not enough to have an impact on the real top masters. Even so, it makes many people look at it with surprise. However, this thing is too difficult to practice, mainly because it is difficult to find couples with like-minded feelings, and the complete set of Quanzhen Sect's exercises seems to be only available in Huashan.

Everyone evaluates Huashan as having a rich and well-hidden heritage. Only Yue Buqun, Feng Yangqing and other high-ranking Huashan officials know that these are all the credit of Lin Pingzhi.
