This sudden turn of events left everyone present completely bewildered.
"Cheng Kun!"
"Let go of my senior brother right now!"
"..."
Kong Wen and the others looked tense and shouted urgently as they rushed to surround Cheng Kun.
"Hahaha!"
Cheng Kun burst into maniacal laughter and said:
"Do you think I'm stupid? Do you think I'd live if I let this old bastard go?"
"If you know what's good for you, get out of my way right now."
"Otherwise, even if I die today, I'll take someone down with me!"
Upon hearing what Cheng Kun said, Kong Wen and the others all wore solemn expressions.
No one expected that Cheng Kun would be so treacherous. Even after Wang Yang crippled his martial arts cultivation, he still dared to use cunning tricks!
What frustrated everyone even more was that they simply couldn't do anything about Cheng Kun.
It's clear that Cheng Kun is currently at his wit's end, and it's not impossible that he would do something desperate.
Just then, a Buddhist chant suddenly arose from Master Kongjian's side:
"Amitabha!"
"Cheng Kun, you can do it!"
"If I don't go to hell, who will?"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Kun's brows furrowed, and he said coldly:
"Old man, don't push me!"
As he spoke, the dagger he held drew even closer to Kongjian's neck.
The dagger was so fast that it drew a line of blood on Kong Jian's neck with just a slight touch.
Upon seeing this, Xuanci, Kongwen, and the other Shaolin monks all became tense.
"Cheng Kun, don't do anything reckless!"
"I'll let you leave."
Kong Wen said coldly, and stepped aside, fearing that Cheng Kun would kill Kong Jian.
Other Shaolin monks, seeing this, also followed suit.
No one wanted to risk Kongjian's life because of Chengkun.
Cheng Kun saw this, smiled coldly, and then turned his gaze to look directly at Wang Yang:
"Wang Yang!"
"Aren't you very capable?"
"In the end, they still can't kill me, can they?"
Upon hearing Cheng Kun's words, Wang Yang frowned slightly and muttered doubtfully, "Is that so?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Yang vanished from the spot in a flash.
In no time, a figure flashed and appeared in front of Cheng Kun.
"this?"
This sudden turn of events shocked Cheng Kun.
Wang Yang's movements were simply too fast, making it impossible for anyone to keep up.
Before Cheng Kun could react, Wang Yang, who had teleported in, suddenly delivered a chop to the ground.
Upon closer inspection, it was discovered that Cheng Kun's hand holding the dagger had been severed by Wang Yang's hand chop.
Wang Yang was so fast that Cheng Kun lost an arm, but he didn't feel any pain.
"ah!!"
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Cheng Kun finally felt the pain of his severed arm and let out a shrill scream.
Wang Yang paid no attention to this and instead struck Cheng Kun in the chest with a palm strike.
"Bang!"
The powerful palm strike was overwhelming, sending Cheng Kun flying with a single blow.
In a few short moments, Cheng Kun fell to the ground, spitting out a mouthful of blood, and died on the spot.
Xuanci, Kongwen, and the other Shaolin monks were all dumbfounded upon seeing this.
Even with their strength, they couldn't discern Wang Yang's movement technique at all; they only felt that he appeared to Cheng Kun's side like a ghost.
"Wow...what terrifying movement technique!"
"How old is he to have such martial arts skills?"
"This strength is comparable to that of the reclusive senior monks of Shaolin Temple!"
"I heard that when he fought Kumārajīva before, he also knew the Seventy-Two Arts of Shaolin."
"..."
The Shaolin monks exclaimed in admiration, even more shocked by Wang Yang's strength.
Upon witnessing this scene, Kongjian sighed, clasped his hands together, and chanted a Buddhist prayer:
"Amitabha Buddha, excellent, excellent!"
As he spoke, he shifted his gaze from Cheng Kun's corpse to Wang Yang, and continued:
“Benefactor Wang, I am so grateful to you this time. Otherwise, my wicked scheme would have succeeded.”
Upon hearing this, Wang Yang smiled calmly and replied:
"Master Kongjian, you flatter me. It was just a small favor, no need to worry about it!"
Kong Jian nodded slightly, appearing calm on the surface, but in reality, he was shocked deep down.
In all his years, he had never seen a young talent like Wang Yang.
Its strength was so great that even he couldn't see through it at all.
"This child's future is limitless!"
Kong Jian sighed softly.
Next, Xuan Ci ordered his men to carry away Cheng Kun's body and expressed his gratitude to Wang Yang once again.
After all, Cheng Kun was extremely well hidden in Shaolin.
If Wang Yang hadn't exposed him, Cheng Kun's existence would have inevitably brought disaster to Shaolin in the future.
In fact, if things go wrong, Shaolin might actually be overthrown by them.
Wang Yang didn't pay any attention.
If he hadn't seen eminent monks of the Kong generation like Kongjian, he wouldn't have remembered Chengkun.
To everyone's surprise, upon inquiry, it turned out that Cheng Kun was indeed hiding in Shaolin under the identity of Yuanzhen.
After the scene was cleaned up, Xuanci and other Shaolin monks continued to eat and drink with Wang Yang and the others.
While eating and drinking, Yang Xiao suddenly asked:
"Alliance Leader Wang."
"You previously said that Cheng Kun also had a great connection with my Ming Cult?"
"Just now, Cheng Kun confessed his crimes, which means he wanted to use Xie Xun's bloody deeds to disrupt the martial arts world and incite hatred towards the Ming Cult among martial artists."
"In order to achieve the goal of subverting the martial arts world of the Central Plains."
At this point, Yang Xiao paused slightly, pursed his lips, and then continued:
"But why would he do that?"
"It seems... that Cheng Kun harbors extreme hatred towards my Ming Cult."
As Yang Xiao asked this question, the Ming Cult members, including the White-browed Eagle King, the Green-winged Bat King, and Fan Yao, all stared intently at Wang Yang.
Meanwhile, everyone else present looked at Wang Yang with curiosity.
Wang Yang smiled calmly, made no attempt to hide anything, and explained:
"Cheng Kun was in love with his childhood sweetheart, his junior sister, when he was young."
"But who knew that his junior sister would be snatched away by Yang Dingtian, the 33rd leader of the Ming Cult, who used his reputation and power to steal her away."
"Cheng Kun was greatly indignant about this."
"Later, Yang Dingtian neglected his wife due to teaching duties and other reasons, which gave Cheng Kun the opportunity to have an affair with Madam Yang."
"Furthermore, Madam Yang even told Cheng Kun the secret of the Ming Cult's underground passages at its headquarters."
"When Yang Dingtian was practicing the Great Shift of the Universe, he discovered that the two were having an affair."
"In a fit of rage, Yang Dingtian suffered a qi deviation and died."
"Upon seeing this, Lady Yang committed suicide out of righteousness, which filled Cheng Kun with grief and indignation, and he vowed to destroy the Ming Cult with his life!"
After hearing Wang Yang's words, Yang Xiao and the others were all deeply shocked.
No one expected that there was such a feud between Cheng Kun and Yang Dingtian, the previous leader of the Ming Cult.
Besides, what shocked everyone was that Wang Yang knew so much about these secrets.
"Benefactor Wang, how...how do you know about these things?"
Shocked, Kong Wen looked at Wang Yang and asked in astonishment.
Before Wang Yang could reply, Zhao Min suddenly interjected:
"Master Kongwen, you don't know yet, our young master knows everything!"
