Chapter 91: Cleaning Up the House
Shanying drew out his long sword and blocked Lin Feng's way. The long sword shone with a cold light in the winter sun, and the tip of the sword pointed directly at Lin Feng's throat, without retreating at all.
The reason why he was so hostile towards Lin Feng was because Tan Tai Lie had told him before that he had been hunted down.
The person who was chasing him was Heijiang's eldest disciple, Lin Feng.
This was something that Dan Tai Lie only understood after he recovered his memory. When Shan Ying learned that Hei Jiang might have rebelled, he naturally would not have a good face towards Lin Feng.
But now he wants to force his way in. You can tell what he wants to do even with your toes.
Seeing this, Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, a cold smile appeared on his lips, and he said, "Just with you, you think you can stop me?"
"You can try." Shanying's voice was low and calm, as if stating a fact.
The fact that he was able to fight against so many masters in Quanzhen Sect to the end was enough to prove that his strength was not weak.
The tense atmosphere between the two startled Ye Lan and Chu Xiao. Chu Xiao hurried forward to pull Lin Feng.
"Big Brother, what are you doing? We are all from the same sect, and this might only damage the harmony."
"Yes, Senior Brother Lin Feng, the leader is in seclusion in there, so we'd better not disturb him..." Ye Lan also advised.
Shanying snorted coldly and scolded, "Why waste time talking to this traitor? If you want to go in and harm the leader, you have to get past me first!"
After saying that, Shanying stopped talking nonsense, suddenly jumped up, and rushed towards Lin Feng's chest with a sword.
Lin Feng sneered and dodged sideways, turning his wrist and pulling out the long sword. The two of them immediately started fighting.
The sound of swords clashing was incessant, sparks flew everywhere. Lin Feng's moves were extremely fast, and the sword energy seemed to come alive, rushing straight towards Shanying. The two of them exchanged several moves in an instant, and the sword shadows and sword energy intertwined, and the air around them seemed to be torn apart.
Ye Lan and Chu Xiao were so shocked by this sudden change that they froze in their tracks. Chu Xiao stamped his feet anxiously: "Big Brother, Shanying, what are you doing? Stop fighting!"
The two men turned a deaf ear to him. Lin Feng's attack became more and more fierce. There was murderous intent in his eyes, and every move was aimed at the vital point of Mountain Eagle.
Ye Lan frowned as he watched this scene, his heart pounding with fear. "Lin Feng's sword moves are deadly. Is he really going to do this?"
Chu Xiao hadn't figured out the reason behind this, and didn't understand what Shanying meant by that, so he asked, "Senior Brother Ye Lan, what did Shanying mean when he said that Senior Brother was a traitor?"
Ye Lan shook his head: "I don't know either..." He had not heard of Lin Feng's betrayal.
Shanying found the time to reply, "What else could it mean? This thief and the Great Elder betrayed the leader. If the young lady hadn't arrived in time that day, the leader would have died at the hands of this thief!"
"What?!" Chu Xiao and Ye Lan were shocked.
Chu Xiao came back to his senses and explained, "Mountain Eagle, there must be a misunderstanding here. I have been following the eldest brother all these days, never leaving his side. How could he have the opportunity to assassinate the leader?"
"Are you sure?" Shanying snorted coldly.
"I……"
Chu Xiao suddenly remembered that Lin Feng had asked him to wait there several times, saying that he had something to do.
He didn't think much about it at the time. Could it be that time?
Seeing that he didn't say anything, Shanying sneered: "Do you remember?"
Chu Xiao's face turned pale instantly, a trace of disbelief and pain flashed in his eyes. He asked in a trembling voice: "Big Brother, are you really... going to kill the leader?"
Seeing his expression, Lin Feng felt as if his heart was being tightly gripped. The madness in his eyes faded away, leaving only bitterness.
Seeing this, Shanying thought it was a good opportunity. While the leader was distracted, he could avenge him!
In a flash, Shanying swung his sword and slashed at Lin Feng. Lin Feng couldn't dodge in time, and his arm was cut, and blood spurted out.
"Uh...! You hid it well enough!" Lin Feng covered his arm and took several steps back, putting some distance between him and Shanying. He said coldly, "What a shame, you were too hasty."
Shanying sneered: "In a hurry? Killing you is enough!"
He suddenly increased his attack and threw out three poisonous flying needles from his sleeves, shooting directly at Lin Feng's face.
Lin Feng swung his sword to block, and all the flying needles were shot down. He recognized the flying needles and exclaimed, "Green Shadow Poison Needle? Isn't this a hidden weapon of the Tang Sect? How could you..."
"I'll tell you when you die!" The mountain eagle didn't give Lin Feng the chance to ask any more questions, and swooped down with his usual gestures.
The battle outside was in full swing, and inside it was at a critical moment.
As the essence and blood were continuously pumped from Tang Xiaoyun's body to Tan Tai Lie, his Blood Demon Art had been rebuilt to the ninth level, and he was only one level away from reaching the state of great perfection.
Bai Chuan heard the sounds of fighting outside and knew that this was the most critical moment, so he said to Tan Tai Lie: "Master, keep your mind focused and break through the heavenly punishment to reach the great perfection, as if you have gone astray!"
As time passed, the three rare treasures, Blood Ganoderma Lucidum, Mysterious Ice Jade Marrow and Nether Earth Heart Lotus, were gradually consumed.
Tang Xiaoyun's face turned pale at a speed visible to the naked eye. He must have passed out due to excessive blood loss.
The system had been monitoring Tang Xiaoyun's vital signs. At this moment, a ethereal alarm sounded in his mind:
[Warning! ! Warning! ! !]
[Host's heart rate is too low, there is a risk of death! ! ]
The system could no longer sit still. It flew out of Tang Xiaoyun's body, manifesting its physical form. It floated directly in front of Tan Tai Lie and said through the formation barrier: [Boss, the host is dying. When will you be able to recover?]
"What?" Tan Tai Lie opened his eyes suddenly, his mind was unstable and he almost gave up all his efforts.
This was the first time Baichuan saw this entity called the system, but now was not the time to care about that.
"Master, keep your mind focused. We are only one step away from success. Don't be distracted!"
"But Xiaoyun..." He looked worriedly at Tang Xiaoyun, who was lying on the shore with a pale face, and his heart ached.
"Master, don't worry. I gave you a heart-protecting pill long ago. He will be fine."
Then he turned to the system and said, "Guard the master well and stop interrupting!"
The system pursed its lips, said "oh", and flew to Tang Xiaoyun, keeping a close eye on his situation.
Outside, Shanying and Lin Feng had been fighting for several rounds, and both of them were injured. Shanying made a palm with his left hand and slammed into Lin Feng. The two forces collided, making a dull sound.
The mountain eagle was shocked back several steps, with a trace of blood flowing from the corner of its mouth. It stared at Lin Feng as if it wanted to eat him.
Ye Lan supported Shanying, who was holding his chest and spitting blood, and asked worriedly: "How are you? Let me go..."
Shanying held him down, shook his head slightly and said, "This thief is very cunning. You are no match for him."
Lin Feng wasn't much better off either. Shanying's palm strike had gathered nine levels of strength. Although he didn't vomit blood like Shanying, he also suffered internal injuries.
He covered his chest and used the tip of his sword to steady himself. It was obvious that he was seriously injured. "I underestimated you."
Chu Xiao was caught between the two and didn't know which side to help. Things had developed to this point. Even if he didn't want to believe that his master had betrayed him, it had become a fact.
"Mountain Eagle, Senior Brother, can you please stop fighting?" Chu Xiao ran a few steps towards Lin Feng and frowned, saying, "Senior Brother, please stop. Just wait for the leader to come out and admit your mistake. The leader will forgive you..."
Lin Feng stood up straight and stared at Shanying: "At this point, what's the point of admitting your mistakes? If I don't kill him, I'll be the one to die!"
Shanying wiped away the blood, gently pushed Ye Lan away, raised the sword again, and pointed it at Lin Feng: "If you want to touch the leader, you will die!"
"Then you come and give it a try!"
Lin Feng's eyes flashed coldly, and he was about to attack again when he heard a sneer from the front: "Lin Feng, long time no see!"
Everyone turned around and saw Tan Tai Lie standing with his hands behind his back. He had appeared behind Shan Ying without them noticing.
A bloody black aura lingered around him, and his aura suddenly rose several levels. His white hair flew in the wind, but his eyes shot straight at Lin Feng like sharp blades.
The current Tan Tai Lie gives people the feeling of a banished immortal, with bloodshot eyes and black energy wrapped around his body like a spirit snake. The powerful pressure is so suffocating that people dare not look directly at him.
The corners of his lips curled slightly, but his voice was icy cold: "Lin Feng, when the devil wanted to kill me, did you ever think that this day would come?"
Lin Feng's face changed slightly. He knew that he was definitely no match for Tan Tai Lie now. He was so terrifying when he cultivated to the ninth level of the Blood Demon Art. Now that the art has been perfected, he is no match for him.
"You can kill me or chop me up, it's all up to you!" It's futile to resist anymore, so just give up struggling.
Upon hearing this, Tan Tai Lie sneered and said, "He's smarter than your master. He gave up when he knew he couldn't win. However..."
He paused, glanced at Chu Xiao beside him, and said in a cold tone: "I am going to clean up the mess today. If anyone pleads for him, he will be punished together with them!"
Before he finished speaking, he had already rushed out like a ghost and went straight for Lin Feng's throat.
When the Blood Demon Art is cultivated to the highest level, he only needs to move his finger slightly to decide his life or death.
Lin Feng knew that he was deeply sinful, so when Tan Tai Lie grabbed his throat again, he not only did not resist, but resigned himself to his fate, closed his eyes, and waited for death to come.
"Oh!"
Tan Tai Lie sneered and raised his hand to smash his crown with a palm.
At the critical moment, Chu Xiao rushed forward, knelt down and begged for mercy, "Master! Please stop!"
Tan Tai Lie frowned, his eyes cold: "You want to plead for him?"
Chu Xiao stiffened his neck and said, "...Yes!"
Lin Feng opened his eyes suddenly and struggled to utter a few words: "Go...quickly, don't...care about me!"
But once Chu Xiao's stubborn temper came out, even eight oxen couldn't pull him away.
Tan Tai Lie snorted coldly, "I told you that anyone who pleads for him will be punished with the same crime. Didn't you hear me?"
"I heard it, but I still want to say this. Big Brother obeys Master, and it's not easy for him to disobey. If the Master is still not satisfied, you can punish him in any way you want. Please spare his life."
After saying this, Chu Xiao kowtowed heavily with a sincere attitude.
Tan Tai Lie sneered. He was a devil who killed people without blinking an eye. Would he let go of the person who wanted to kill him just because of a mere plea?
"You think I will let him go just because you beg for mercy? Ridiculous!"
"Disciple knows that Lin Feng's crime is unforgivable, but please spare his life for the sake of our friendship over the years."
Hearing this, Dan Tai Lie looked at Shan Ying and Ye Lan, and saw that both of them had expressions of reluctance on their faces. When he looked at them, they hurriedly hid that reluctance.
Just as he was about to strike, a cry of surprise came from behind him: "Master!"
The next second, Bai Chuan rushed out holding the pale-faced Tang Xiaoyun and hurriedly said, "Master, the master's condition is not good. We must go back quickly!"
Tan Tai Lie's heart tightened. He was so busy cleaning up the mess that he forgot about this.
"Forget it. Since he pleaded for you, I will not kill you. But from now on, you are no longer a disciple of my Heavenly Demon Sect. Go and give up your martial arts and live in seclusion."
After saying that, he picked up Tang Xiaoyun and jumped up, disappearing in an instant.
