"Uncle Cult Leader, I'm here to help you!" Chen Xuanling shouted, and both the cult leader and Ouyang Feng frowned.
In the cult leader's view, Chen Xuanling should have secretly attacked Song Xia or her disciple Ouyang Feng. Now that he was in a great position, why would he need her help?
Ouyang Feng, concerned and anxious, couldn't think of much else at the moment. He only thought that Chen Xuanling had really sided with the evil cult. He couldn't help but follow closely behind in disappointment, trying to stop her with a sharp sword.
Song Xia, however, sensed something unusual and deliberately revealed a flaw. The cult leader was delighted and pressed his advantage, thus exposing his back to Chen Xuanling.
"Valley Master Song, prepare to die!" Chen Xuanling shouted again, her sword strikes brimming with inner strength.
Upon seeing this, Ouyang Feng's face turned cold: "Chen Xuanling, you mustn't!"
His swordplay became even more ferocious, aimed at Chen Xuanling, but what happened next made his eyes turn red.
Chen Xuanling's sword suddenly changed direction, pointing at the cult leader's back. It turned out that her first move was just a feint; her real target was the cult leader.
But Ouyang Feng was unaware of her plans, so it was too late for him to stop. Chen Xuanling was immediately sent flying backward like a kite with a broken string. And that wasn't the end of it. The cult leader discovered her betrayal and struck her with a palm, intending to end her life.
"Stop!" Fortunately, Song Xia had anticipated this and intercepted in time, but even so, Chen Xuanling still took half a blow, which aggravated her injuries, and she instantly fell into a coma.
Ouyang Feng managed to protect her heart in time, but she was already bleeding from all seven orifices, and her pulse was getting weaker and weaker.
"Elder Fan!" Shangguan Jin hurriedly called for help, and then promptly fed Chen Xuanling a pill. He hadn't expected that this cult's holy maiden would choose them at such a crucial moment. From Chen Xuanling's perspective, it was truly remarkable.
Ouyang Feng didn't fall for the wrong person, but if something were to happen to Chen Xuanling today, he might never be able to forgive himself.
"Old Master Fan is here, she'll be alright. Ouyang Feng, you shouldn't blame yourself now. The cult still has so many disciples, the war isn't over yet!"
Realizing that there was no point in him staying, Ouyang Feng handed Chen Xuanling over to Elder Fan. After seeing her heartbeat gradually stabilize, he charged toward the cult disciples with bloodshot eyes, and then approached the cult leader step by step.
As expected of someone who had called him "uncle" for over ten years, Chen Xuanling knew his weaknesses well. Although there was a huge difference in their strength, that sword strike still broke the cult leader's technique, giving Song Xia an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Then Ouyang Feng was also putting in all his effort, which caused him a lot of trouble.
Seeing this, Shan Jiangchuan, Zhuge Chun, and others gradually joined in, hoping that if they could kill this cult leader today, their reputation would also rise.
Just as the cult leader was in dire straits and Song Xia was about to take his life, she suddenly sensed a familiar sword aura—it was Ouyang Zhen!
Almost everyone thought that Ouyang Zhen appeared here to help them eliminate the cult in one fell swoop and restore their previous reputation. However, when the sword energy approached, Song Xia suddenly gave up the attack and dodged away.
Only then did everyone realize that his attack was aimed at Song Xia: "Ouyang Zhen, you actually joined a cult!"
"Hahahaha..." The cult leader laughed loudly, "Good, Ouyang Zhen, you have helped me today, and I will certainly not treat you unfairly in the future."
"Ouyang Zhen, what are you doing?"
"What are you doing?" Ouyang Zhen's face twisted in pain. "That bitch Song Xia betrayed me first. There is absolutely no way I will ever be subservient to her in this life."
“He’s a cult leader. Do you think that if you help him today, he will treat your mother well in the future? Ouyang Zhen, don’t be delusional.”
"You guys are too spineless to obey a woman's orders."
“Ignorant! Master Song is so righteous and wise. Ouyang Zhen, stop being so stubborn.”
"It's still unknown who is stubbornly clinging to their delusions. Song Xia can be so heartless towards me, her husband. Do you really think she'll have a good ending in the future?"
"That's because you're too stubborn." Yin Shihuai and Ouyang Wan arrived hand in hand. "Don't you dare slander your master's wife. Besides coveting the position of martial arts alliance leader, what practical things have you done?"
“You wicked disciple, I shouldn’t have saved you back then.”
"Our relationship with you has only been nominal, not real. We will never call you Master again."
"Then prepare to die!"
"Senior Brother, form the formation."
Everyone initially thought that with the addition of Ouyang Zhen to the cult leader's side, they would have a hard time dealing with him. After all, neither Shan Jiangchuan nor Zhuge Chun had been a match for Ouyang Zhen before. However, it turned out that the three juniors, Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Wan, and Yin Shihuai, managed to trap Ouyang Zhen through their cooperation.
Ouyang Zhen had never seen them like this before. Despite it being a Linghe Valley technique, he was unable to break through it, and he immediately became anxious.
Song Xia attacked the cult leader again: "Prepare to die."
The situation reversed again, and by this time the city gates had been breached, clearly indicating that the rebels had achieved a great victory.
The cult leader's expression changed, and he tried to escape, but Song Xia was not about to give him that chance. So he surrounded the cult with Shan Jiangchuan, Zhuge Chun, and a master from the Zizai Sect. If Wu Ying hadn't been injured, their chances of winning would have been even greater.
But at this moment, the cult leader was also finding it difficult to escape, and couldn't help but roar: "Old snake monster, don't you want your granddaughter to be safe?"
In an instant, countless poisonous insects crawled out from under the fallen corpses, and poisonous smoke filled the air.
Once you reach the level of a top-tier expert, poisons and venomous insects are unlikely to harm you, but that's only if you're not engaged in combat. If you're distracted, you can easily fall victim to them.
Song Xia said in a deep voice, "I can handle this person by myself. Everyone be careful."
Dan Jiangchuan and Zhuge Chun retreated and attacked the venomous snake monster. Only the monks of the Zizai Sect continued to block the cult leader's retreat.
Just when the cult leader thought he had a chance to survive, he watched helplessly as Song Xia also swallowed a pill, and then his internal energy surged.
"This is impossible!" he exclaimed in horror.
Song Xia gave him no further chance to speak. Each subsequent sword strike injured the man, causing him to bleed profusely.
"Ah!" He swallowed another pill, and his inner strength continued to surge. However, he was clearly losing his mind and was far less calm than Song Xia. He could not distinguish friend from foe when attacking. Under Song Xia's deliberate inducement, several cult elders died at his hands.
Then, to the astonishment of Shan Jiangchuan and Zhuge Chun, Ouyang Feng, Ouyang Wan, and Yin Shihuai simultaneously withdrew from their fight against Ouyang Zhen. Before Ouyang Zhen could react, he too died with his eyes wide open in the hands of this cult leader.
No one expected that Ouyang Zhen would die in such a way.
However, at the crucial moment of the battle, his choice to side with the cult can only be considered as deserving of death.
