Chapter 317 Wudang is indeed the leader of the righteous path
Ren Woxing led a group of experts to Zhongtian Gate. Looking at the Sun Moon Sect members who were lined up neatly and in high spirits a hundred feet away, he frowned slightly and asked, "What's going on? Aren't the most elite of the Twelve Halls the Azure Dragon, White Tiger, Vermillion Bird, and Black Tortoise Halls?"
Ren Yingying was standing next to her father and was also surprised when she heard this.
It seems that although her Uncle Dongfang has been somewhat negligent in church affairs over the years, he has not completely ignored them!
At this time, Dongfang Bubai raised his arm, and a group of disciples of the Divine Sect pushed ten people out of the queue.
Zhao Qingfeng, the leader of Taotie Hall, took a few steps forward and stood in front of the formation.
He took a deep breath, the Qi in his body surged, and his voice was deep and powerful, echoing in the valley: "People up there, listen to me! Quickly release our chief steward Yang, otherwise, don't blame us for being blind with our swords, these ten people will be killed on the spot as a warning to others!"
"Ha ha……"
Ren Woxing knew that Dongfang Bubai could do what he said, but he couldn't let Dongfang Bubai threaten him. It would be better to do the opposite, maybe he could get unexpected results.
So he laughed loudly and said, "Are you threatening me?"
The laughter gradually died down, and a hint of coldness flashed in his eyes. He said indifferently: "Those ten people are not relatives or friends to me. They are just floating duckweed in the world. If you really want to threaten me with this, then kill them. What's the harm?"
Dongfang Bubai narrowed his eyes and nodded slightly.
The disciples of the Divine Religion swung down with the sharp blades in their hands without any hesitation. There was a flash of cold light, blood splattered everywhere, and ten fresh heads rolled to the ground with a dull sound. The blood dyed the land in front of them red in the blink of an eye.
Before Ren Woxing's side could react, another group of prisoners were escorted to the front of the battlefield.
The ten men were pale, trembling, their eyes full of fear, and they knelt on the ground in the same posture. They couldn't help but glance at the pile of headless corpses beside them, and they were so scared that their noses and tears were streaming.
"Release Chief Steward Yang!"
Except for the disciple who was carrying out the execution, the rest of the disciples of the Divine Religion shouted in unison.
Ren Woxing's eyes were cold. He hadn't seen Dongfang Bubai for twelve years. It turned out that he was even more cold-blooded and ruthless than he had imagined!
He said loudly: "Everyone, you have witnessed it with your own eyes this time! If we cannot win this battle, we will also end up like this, with our heads and bodies torn apart and turned into a pile of yellow earth!"
Ren Woxing's words were like ice that pierced their bones, shocking everyone present and making them more determined to fight to the end.
Seeing that Ren Woxing did not move, Dongfang Bubai raised his hand again and waved gently.
The long knife fell suddenly, a shrill wind sounded, and with a "crack", ten more heads rolled down, and blood gushed out like hot lava, instantly soaking the ground.
Ren Yingying, Lan Fenghuang and the others had solemn expressions on their faces. Although they had been in the martial arts world and had experienced many ups and downs and were accustomed to the separation of life and death, they had never done anything like killing people like pigs and dogs.
For a moment, a chill rose in the hearts of many people.
The East is invincible.
Is it possible that there is no humanity left?
Seeing that Dongfang Bubai was about to wave his hand again, Linghu Chong could not help it. He immediately drew his sword and prepared to fly up to stop the other party from killing.
At this moment, Ren Woxing and others discovered that a handsome young Taoist priest appeared from the rear of the Sun and Moon Sect. He knocked several people away and temporarily stopped Dongfang Bubai from killing the prisoners.
Linghu Chong paused, looked at the man with some surprise and shouted: "Brother Lin?!"
After hearing Linghu Chong's shout, the young Taoist turned his head and saluted, saying, "Brother Linghu, long time no see."
"When did Wudang's younger generation have such a great figure?" Dongfang Bubai asked curiously, looking at the heroic young Taoist priest.
"Master, this boy's name is Lin Pingzhi, and his Taoist name is Pingxiang. He is the most cherished disciple of Taoist Chongxu, and he possesses extraordinary talent."
Upon hearing this, the head of Qiongqi Hall, Beitang Shu, looked solemn and clasped his hands together, saying, "It is said in the martial arts world that the reason why Lin Pingxiang was able to catch the eye of Taoist Chongxu was because he was personally recommended by Lord Ou Zanghua. His vision is so unique that it is rare in the martial arts world."
"It's really strange that Ou Zanghua frequently shuttles between the court and the martial arts world." Dongfang Bubai showed a trace of confusion between his eyebrows, and said, "As an important official in the court, he should abide by his duties and assist the king. Why does he repeatedly get involved in the turmoil of the martial arts world? And although Taoist Lin is quite skilled, he is still far from being a rare talent."
After hearing this, Beitang Shu lowered his head, not knowing how to answer.
He also felt that Ou Zanghua seemed to be too concerned about the affairs of the martial arts world, as if the recent events in the Five Mountains Sword Sect were all closely related to him.
At this time, a group of Taoist priests came out from the woods, led by none other than the head of Wudang, Taoist Chongxu.
Taoist Chongxu immediately locked onto Dongfang Bubai, the most eye-catching person in the crowd. His expression froze for a moment, and then he revealed an expression of surprise that was difficult to conceal: "But... Mr. Dongfang?"
"Chongxu, I haven't seen you for many years. You are still the same, without much improvement." Dongfang Bubai glanced at Taoist Chongxu, which immediately made the old Taoist's hair stand on end, and his pure Yang Wuji internal energy automatically started to work.
"Is it true?"
Taoist Chongxu whispered to himself: "I thought it was because my eyes were blurry and I thought it was Dongfang Bubai when I saw someone."
"Master!"
Lin Pingzhi walked up to Taoist Chongxu, bowed and told him what had just happened.
Taoist Chongxu then noticed that there were twenty headless corpses at the front of the team, and immediately showed an expression of pity: "Master Dongfang."
"Old Taoist priest, don't get involved in matters that are not your business." Dongfang Bubai said coldly as he looked at the Zhongtian Gate in front of him.
Taoist Chongxu's face turned bitter, and he started to wonder in his heart, why did Wudang run so fast when he was fine?
Seeing Lin Pingzhi standing by with his fists clenched in anger, the old Taoist wanted to slap himself in the face. He didn't know what he was thinking that morning, letting this young man lead the way.
Ren Woxing burst into laughter when he saw this scene. "So it's Taoist Chongxu. Wudang is the righteous sect of the martial arts world. They are the chivalrous warriors who draw their swords to help the weak. Now they are facing the biggest evil in the martial arts world who is killing innocent people. You won't just turn a blind eye and stand by and watch, right?"
Lin Pingzhi could not bear to hear such nonsense, so he stood up and said loudly: "Hmph, there is no need for you to say anything more. Wudang will stand up and protect the prestige of the righteousness of the martial arts world."
"Okay, okay." After hearing this, Ren Woxing was not angry at all. Instead, he smiled and clapped his hands, saying, "As expected of a Wudang disciple. He is indeed a chivalrous man without parallel."
Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly and gave the order directly: "Chaos Hall, surround and kill Wudang."
"Yes, Sect Master!"
After Chaos Hall Master Shi Guangda bowed, he drew his sword and shouted, "Brothers, follow me!"
"Kill!" Five hundred Chaos Hall disciples drew their weapons and rushed towards the Wudang heroes.
Taoist Chongxu saw this and had no choice but to bite the bullet and shout, "Wudang disciples, set up the Ten Directions Sword Formation!"
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, all the disciples drew their swords and stood in line with the ten directions of heaven, earth, east, south, west, north, life, death, past and future, with the tips of their swords pointing at the invading enemies.
The Chaos Hall disciples were not intimidated by the sword formation. They rushed forward recklessly, like a group of wild beasts driven by rage, and rushed straight into the seemingly impeccable sword formation.
The moment they made contact, many people fell down. Shi Guangda immediately entangled Taoist Chongxu, preventing him from having the chance to support other Wudang disciples.
Ren Woxing stood on the Zhongtian Gate, watching the two sides fighting, and shouted excitedly: "Wudang really deserves to be the leader of the righteous martial arts world. It is indeed much more courageous than Shaolin and the Five Mountains Sword Sect. In my life, I have only admired three and a half people. Now with you Chongxu, there are four people in total!"
Linghu Chong stood aside, watching Wudang soldiers falling one after another, and could not help but said, "Saint Aunt, let's support Wudang!"
"What support?" Ren Woxing said cheerfully, "They are the face of the righteous martial arts world, how could they accept support from people like us who are both good and evil? Right! Taoist Chongxu."
