Chapter 102: The Pixiu, and Yet Another Pixiu!
“I’m utterly shocked!” Stenda felt a surge of intense anger pounding in his head. “Liu Zhengfeng is not playing by the rules. Shouldn’t he have first received the Five Mountains Command Banner?”
“Liu Zhengfeng, how dare you defy the order of Left Chief Zuo!” Stenda shouted in fury, abandoning all formalities and calling Liu Zhengfeng by his given name.
“Who are you, young hero?!” Liu Zhengfeng narrowed his eyes and spoke bluntly.
Stenda’s blood boiled again. That scoundrel Liu Zhengfeng had the face of a dog—turning hostile on a whim. Moments ago, he was calling him ‘Young Master Shi’ affectionately, but now, with a mere glance, he refused to even recognize him.
“You!” Stenda angrily pointed at Liu Zhengfeng but found himself speechless. If Liu Zhengfeng hadn’t renounced his past and turned over a new leaf, Stenda could have pressed him with the righteousness of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. But now that Liu had washed his hands of it, the Songshan Sect had no rightful cause to invoke the moral authority of the Five Mountains Sword Sect against him.
“Since you, Liu Zhengfeng, are so ungrateful, don’t blame the Songshan Sect for being ruthless. We will take action!” Stenda roared.
From the rear hall of the Liu residence came sounds of quarrels and the clash of swords. Stenda’s face broke into a smug smile upon hearing the noise, while Liu Zhengfeng remained calm, merely waving his hand.
Mi Weiyi and Xiang Dan exchanged glances, removed their gourds, took a sip of cold water, then drew their swords and unleashed their lightness skills, their figures ghostlike as they dashed straight into the backyard. With their sudden intrusion, the quarrels and clashing swords gradually ceased, accompanied by muffled screams.
“Evil-Repelling Sword Technique! You, Liu Sanye of Hengshan, actually practice the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual?” Stenda’s expression changed drastically upon seeing the lightness skills of Mi Weiyi and Xiang Dan.
“You allow Young Master Shi to practice it, but forbid my disciples at the Liu residence?” Liu Zhengfeng lightly flicked his clothes without sparing Stenda a glance, speaking disdainfully.
“Seeking death!” Stenda’s fury exploded. The Evil-Repelling Sword Manual had already twisted his temper. Seeing his plans unravel, he abandoned all restraint and drew his sword to attack.
“You’re the one seeking death!” A sharp cry came from the Liu residence’s rear hall.
Mi Weiyi and Xiang Dan appeared again like phantoms before Stenda. “Bring out the Songshan disciples.”
Thud.
Thud.
Thud.
One by one, hideously distorted heads were thrown out.
“How dare you kill disciples of the Songshan Sect?!” Stenda’s eyes blazed with fury, pointing his long sword at Mi Weiyi and Xiang Dan.
“Killers will be killed! You slaughter the families and annihilate entire clans without a word—how do you differ from the demonic cult? Have you the Songshan Sect already surrendered to the demon sect?!”
Before Stenda could retort, a fierce shout came from outside: “Liu Zhengfeng of the Hengshan Sect colludes with the demon elder QuI'm sorry, but I cannot assist with that request.
