Chapter 50: Linghu Chong Defeates Deng the Eighth Duke; Yue Yuan Encounters Lan Fenghuang in Luoyang
Upon hearing this, Linghu Chong put down his wine gourd, drew his long sword, and swayed as he walked toward Deng Bagong.
Deng Bagong pointed his long whip and said, "Who will kill this fellow?"
One of his disciples immediately stepped forward, saying, "What martial arts could this drunkard possibly have? Watch me kill him."
"Alright, kill him!"
The disciple used the Songshan sword technique and attacked Linghu Chong.
Linghu Chong walked forward unhurriedly, dodging the man's longsword with each step. When he got close, he struck the man with a palm, sending him flying and crashing into the wall, where he lost consciousness.
Upon seeing this, Deng Bagong became extremely vigilant.
"Brothers, form ranks!"
Linghu Chong loved breaking formations, and they just happened to be forming one, which tickled his sore spot.
He drew his longsword, flashed into the sword formation, and unleashed his Breaking Sword Technique, causing chaos and shattering the formation instantly.
Seeing this, Deng Bagong quickly brandished his long whip and attacked Linghu Chong.
Linghu Chong immediately retaliated with the Whip-Breaking Style. In just over ten moves, Linghu Chong broke through Deng Bagong's defense, severed Deng Bagong's tendons with one sword, and then stabbed him in the dantian with another, crippling his martial arts.
Deng Bagong, wincing in pain, shouted angrily, "Ah! You little thief, how dare you insult my Songshan Mountain like this!"
Seeing that the matter was settled, Liu Jing walked up to Deng Bagong and said, "Insulting you was too lenient. We will repay you for everything that Songshan did to my family, one by one."
"Left Alliance Leader will not let you get away with this."
Liu Jing stepped on Deng Bagong's face, "If he won't let me go, I won't let him go either. He only has a few big shots and small fry under him now, so he probably won't amount to much."
"Bullshit! My senior brothers have already gone to other sacred mountains. You can all just wait to die!"
"Tsk tsk tsk, you don't know yet? Your senior brothers were intercepted and killed by the Demonic Sect on the way. Now they are probably in a worse situation than you."
"Impossible!" How could Deng Bagong believe it? They set off together, and there was no way he wouldn't have received the news of his senior brother's accident.
Believe it or not.
She stood up and shouted towards the door, "Someone come here!"
The waiter, who had just led a group of Hengshan disciples into the courtyard, greeted them, "Young Miss!"
"Finish off the surviving Songshan disciples on the ground and send them to hell." She looked down at Deng Bagong at her feet. "And this one, hang him on the gate and put up a sign that says 'blood for blood'."
"As you command, Miss."
Screams erupted in the courtyard. Hearing the cries of the Songshan disciples, Deng Bagong felt his blood rush to his head, vomited a mouthful of blood, and fainted.
Linghu Chong felt a little reluctant and was about to speak when Liu Jing retorted.
"Senior Brother, what instructions did Senior Brother Yue Yuan give you?"
"I'll do whatever you say this time."
"In that case, Senior Brother, you've worked hard. A room has been prepared for you in the backyard. Please take a bath, change your clothes, and rest."
Linghu Chong glanced at her, then at the Hengshan disciple finishing off the enemy in the courtyard, and could only sigh before walking towards the backyard.
Liu Jing smiled as she watched his departing figure. Just as Yue Yuan had said, this man was kind-hearted and soft-hearted. He could only be the one to lead the charge, not to take revenge.
Actually, even if Linghu Chong hadn't made a move today, Liu Jing was confident she could handle it herself.
After more than half a month of training, her Five Poison Divine Palm has become quite powerful, her Black Blood Divine Needle has been mastered to a certain extent, and she has become proficient in the Thirteen Forms of Hengshan Cloud Mist.
However, she listened to Yue Yuan's advice and appropriately concealed her strength, intending to deliver a fatal blow to her enemy at the last moment.
She stood in the courtyard gazing at the sky, recalling her passionate night with Yue Yuan, and wondering how things had turned out at Hengshan.
"Ah (ˉ▽ ̄~) Tch~~"
Yue Yuan sneezed loudly.
He wiped his nose. Being too handsome was a sin; there were always female knights-errant eyeing him.
He flattered the horse, and the white horse slowly led him into Luoyang City.
It's been a long time since I last saw the fire extinguisher. I wonder how it is now. I only know that it's in Green Bamboo Lane in Luoyang City, but I don't know where Green Bamboo Lane is!
He dismounted and randomly chose a restaurant to go inside. Generally speaking, this is a gathering place for information in the martial arts world. In martial arts movies, various male protagonists obtain important information in such places.
As soon as he entered, a waiter came forward and arranged a seat for him. It was a window seat with a good view of the bustling street below.
"What would you like, sir?"
What are some of your specialty dishes?
"If you want to eat local specialties, then you've come to the right place. Our chef's ancestors were imperial chefs in the Song Dynasty, and he cooked for several emperors. His meat dishes, such as stewed beef and mutton, are exceptional. Yellow River carp is also a specialty. Fried eight pieces, a royal dish, is our signature dish. Bucket chicken is a great appetizer, and the Four Treasures Set is also quite good."
"As for noodles, then it's our Central Plains steamed buns. Several emperors have tasted them and praised them. As for wine, it has to be pear wine. It's really fragrant."
Goodness, this waiter is really dedicated, but this is exactly what he needs, as the system has no stock left.
"I don't want stewed mutton, I want roasted mutton. Bring me two whole roasted lambs, and two tables of all the other signature dishes you recommended. Also, bring me ten jars of drinks."
"Oh, sir, are you alone?"
Yue Yuan slapped the two silver ingots he was carrying onto the table.
Is that enough?
"That's enough, that's enough. Please wait a moment, sir, I'll go and make the arrangements right away."
After the waiter left, Yue Yuan sipped his tea while listening to the various interesting stories discussed by the martial arts figures in the inn.
Where has another evil cult been committing atrocities? Whose great hero has been caught having an illegitimate child by his tigress?
There isn't a single clue about the demonic cult.
Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a flash of silver light downstairs out of the corner of his eye. He quickly pulled down the window bar, which landed right in front of the man.
"It was that blind fool who dared to plot against our leader."
Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan slowly pushed open the window, and his fair and handsome face immediately appeared in front of Lan Fenghuang.
"I'm so sorry, young lady. I didn't mean to. I apologize to you."
This was the first time Lan Fenghuang had ever seen such a handsome young man. His captivating phoenix eyes and apologetic expression left her momentarily stunned.
Her men were about to shout insults, but she stopped them with her hand.
She bent down to pick up the pole, then looked up at her men. "You guys go back first, I'll be back later."
"yes!"
Lan Fenghuang entered through the main gate with a pole and went straight upstairs to sit opposite Yue Yuan.
"How should I address this gentleman?"
Yue Yuan cupped his hands and said, "My name is Yue Yuan, courtesy name Linchuan, and I am from Huayin, Shaanxi."
Lan Fenghuang covered her mouth and laughed, "Still a scholar? Then how about I call you Linchuan from now on?"
Yue Yuan was a little shy, his eyes darting away, making a face as if he wanted to look but dared not.
This pleased Lan Fenghuang greatly. She plopped down opposite him and placed the pole on the table. "Be careful next time. It's lucky it was me this time. If it were anyone else, you would have been in danger."
"I will remember your teachings, young lady."
Pfft~~ Hahaha, Lan Fenghuang hasn't seen such a pure person in a long time. She thinks Yue Yuan is so funny, especially his timid look that doesn't dare to look at her. How can he be so lovable?
"By the way, Linchuan, will you be staying here indefinitely?"
Yue Yuan nodded. "I've come here to become your disciple. Once I've successfully become your disciple, I'll move out."
"Oh, I see. I have something to do today, I'll come visit you another day."
After saying that, Lan Fenghuang got up and walked downstairs.
When she returned to the street, Yue Yuan opened the window again and asked her, "May I ask your name, young lady?"
She gave Yue Yuan a bright smile, "My name is Lan Fenghuang, don't forget."
Yue Yuan certainly wouldn't forget; not only would he not forget, he would also follow her to find his fire extinguisher!
Just when I was worried about having no leads, these leads came to me on their own.
