A righteous young hero? But I am a demonic cultist.

Chapter 27 Qu Yang's death, Liu Zhengfeng enters a state of meditation and forgets the Dao.

Although Qu Yang was only a black-robed elder, he managed to carry Liu Zhengfeng for over a hundred miles with his last breath.

But they were no match for the Songshan trio. In the end, they were caught up by the Songshan group in a small grove. The three of them, along with a group of disciples, surrounded Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng.

Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng stood back to back. Qu Yang coughed up blood and said, "Brother Liu, in the end, I've dragged you down. It's just a pity about this melody of 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer'."

Liu Zhengfeng's face was pale, but he remained calm. "To die alongside Brother Qu would be a beautiful story. It's just a pity that the musical score we created, 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer,' has been lost ever since."

Qu Yang felt remorseful. If he had known today would be so dangerous, he would have listened to Yue Xiaoyou back then.

"Liu Zhengfeng, I'm giving you one last chance. Kill Qu Yang, and we'll still be friends."

"Bah! You're dreaming! Zuo Lengchan is a wolf in sheep's clothing. All he wants is to control the Hengshan Sect and then unify the Five Mountains Alliance. You won't succeed!"

"Hmph, you still don't know how to repent even when you're about to die. Today I will clean house for the Five Mountains Sword Sect."

After saying this, Fei Bin thrust his sword at Liu Zhengfeng. Liu Zhengfeng was also at his limit and could only close his eyes and wait for death.

Just as the broadsword was about to pierce Liu Zhengfeng's chest, Yue Yuan arrived in time, placing a blood-red longsword in Liu Zhengfeng's chest to block the attack.

Fei Bin's longsword was jolted back by the decisive sword and shattered into pieces.

He dropped his longsword and took several steps back.

"It's you again. Are you sure you want to be my enemy, Songshan?"

Yue Yuan brandished his sword and said with utter disdain, "Mount Song, so powerful, huh?"

He pointed his long sword at the three chief protectors and a group of disciples from Mount Song.

"I declare that you are surrounded. Throw your swords on the ground and join my Dao of Meditation, and I will spare your lives."

Fei Bin, Lu Bai, and Ding Mian looked at each other, thinking: Is this guy trying to be funny?

Seeing that these people didn't react, Yue Yuan shook his head and said, "I gave you a chance. Since you didn't cherish it, then watch closely, this sword strike will be very cool!"

After saying that, he swung his sword and attacked the group.

He cannot use the Sword of Decisive Strike for too long; he must finish the battle quickly. Otherwise, the sword's malevolent energy will enter his body, and then it will no longer be him using the sword, but the sword possessing him.

To his surprise, his sword was too powerful; the ordinary swords and knives of the Songshan Sect were reduced to scrap metal in just two hits.

Yu Renyan, who was hiding nearby, saw that Li Huowang had cut down all the swords of Songshan. He quietly rushed out from the side and used his long sword to strike the kidneys of the Songshan disciples from time to time. The Songshan disciples all had poor kidney function and suffered from acute iron poisoning. They collapsed on the ground, convulsing.

Yue Yuan, relying on the sharpness of his sword, made Fei Bin and the other two suffer greatly.

"Senior Brother Lu, this kid is quite strange. His strength is only average; he relies entirely on that evil sword."

"Junior Brother Fei, Junior Brother Ding, I'll attack from the front, you two attack from the left and right. The first one to seize that sword is the one who gets it."

Yue Yuan leaned on his sword and sighed, "You three don't know what a conspiracy is, do you? Why are you shouting like that, as if you're afraid I won't hear you?"

"So what if I hear it? Watch my Great Songyang Hand!"

Yue Yuan quickly activated the Heavenly Silkworm Demon Art. As the Great Songyang Handprint landed on his chest, his palm transformed into a claw and covered Fei Bin's head.

He was protected by the Black Silkworm Armor, so internal force couldn't penetrate him at all. On the contrary, Fei Bin himself offered his head to him, which he couldn't tolerate.

The Heavenly Silkworm Demon Art began to operate wildly, and Fei Bin's true energy started flowing from the Baihui acupoint into Yue Yuan's body. Lu Bai and Ding Mian, who were standing nearby, exclaimed in surprise: "Star Absorbing Technique!"

Yue Yuan held his sword in one hand to guard against the two sneak attacks, while using the other hand to accelerate the absorption of internal energy. He even teased the two, "Oh, you know about the Star Absorbing Technique. It seems that Ren Woxing left a deep impression on your boss back then."

"You evil Taoist, as long as you release my junior brother, we will wipe the slate clean of today's events."

Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan burst into laughter. "Release him, and we'll call it even. Others may not understand your prestigious sects, but do you think I don't? Releasing you will only bring endless trouble. Today, you only have one path: death."

As soon as he finished speaking, he plunged the blood-red longsword in his hand into Fei Bin's body.

The Juejian is a demonic sword, and every time it is used, it must drink blood, otherwise it will turn against its master. Yue Yuan did not want to be turned against, so he could only ask Fei Bin to help feed the Juejian.

Fei Bin was also very generous; he continuously channeled his own blood into the sword, truly a great person.

However, good people don't live long. In just a few breaths, Fei Bin turned himself into a dried corpse and lay quietly on the ground.

When the true energy of a mid-stage second-rate master entered his body, Yue Yuan felt incredibly refreshed, as if he had been parched for a long time and then received sweet rain, or as if a Vajra had met a White Tiger. In short, he felt amazing!

Yu Renyan on the periphery had also finished his harvest. He might be a little afraid of facing BOSS or super minions, but he was also very good at crushing minions. The twenty-odd disciples from Songshan had basically had their kidneys pierced by him, and it would be difficult for them to stand up again in this lifetime.

"Master, I've cleared the outer perimeter. What's next?"

Yue Yuan chuckled. "You're ruthless enough, aren't you? You've really gone all out, stabbing me in the waist with your sword. Are you that vicious?"

Yu Renyan merely gave him a fierce glare without saying a word, but his gaze clearly showed that he had his eye on Yue Yuan's kidneys.

Yue Yuan clutched his kidneys and leaped a considerable distance. "Damn it, you actually tried to stab my kidneys! What a vicious thought!"

Unexpectedly, Yu Renyan did not follow the script. Instead of continuing to joke with him, he shook the blood off his longsword and sheathed it.

Seeing this, Yue Yuan felt bored. Why wasn't this person cooperating?

He then turned his attention back to Lu Bai and Ding Mian, assuming that the two would cooperate.

When Lu Bai and Ding Mian saw his gaze fall upon them, they immediately split up and tried to run in opposite directions. They had agreed that as long as one of them escaped, they could send the information back to Zuo Lengchan so that Zuo Lengchan could deal with the situation properly.

However, they underestimated Yue Yuan's determination to kill them. Yue Yuan swung his sword at Ding Mian's back and then quickly caught up with Lu Bai.

"You got away, wouldn't I lose face?"

"Let me go, or Alliance Leader Zuo will not forgive you!"

"I know, I know, so you just won't let me go? Then let him come find me!" This time, Yue Yuan didn't waste any words and directly pierced Lu Bai's chest with his sword.

He realized that he had already eaten his fill and his dantian could no longer hold that much true energy. He needed to digest the food before he could continue eating, so the food had to be wasted.

Fortunately, Ding Mian successfully donated blood to Juejian, which can be considered as feeding Juejian.

The people of Songshan are so kind; they not only fed him, but also fed his precious sword.

He sheathed his sword, and when he returned to Liu Zhengfeng's side, Qu Yang had already closed his eyes. Liu Zhengfeng wept bitterly over Qu Yang's corpse, overcome with grief.

To be honest, Yue Yuan didn't understand his behavior. He abandoned his wife and children to stick with a lousy... confidant. If he didn't lack help, he would have wanted to stab Liu Zhengfeng.

Seeing Yue Yuan approach, Liu Zhengfeng put down Qu Yang's body and knelt down straight in front of Yue Yuan.

"Lord Dao!"

"Oh, how is it?"

"Zhengfeng desires revenge. I beg the Daoist Master to bestow upon me the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. Zhengfeng is willing to serve the Daoist Master faithfully, even unto death!"

Upon hearing this, Yue Yuan jumped up dramatically, "Oh dear, did you understand the rules of sword practice? It means losing your manly dignity!"

Liu Zhengfeng's eyes were resolute. "I don't care. What's the point of living if I can't avenge Brother Qu?"

"Look at how unwavering their affection is."

"What is love in this world that makes people willing to die for each other? It is a love that is both beautiful to sing and heartbreaking."

Upon hearing this poem, Yu Renyan glanced at Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng and almost vomited; it was too offensive to bear.

Liu Zhengfeng, however, paid no attention to Yue Yuan's teasing and instead lowered his head to the ground to show his submission.

Yue Yuan smiled; finally, he had gained another helper.
