Chapter 514 Sheet Music (Two-in-One)
Upon hearing Fei Bin's words, both Yi Lin and Linghu Chong felt a chill run down their spines. The two of them had revealed themselves in an attempt to make Fei Bin hesitate to act, but he actually did make a move.

Yilin was shocked and took a few steps back, stammering, "I...I...I? Why did you want to kill me?"

She was truly naive and clueless about the ways of the world. In this day and age, there were no cell phones or tablets. Compared to people who have been bombarded with all kinds of information, she did seem a bit dull, but that was also a quality.

In reality, when women come into this world, they might do things that even women from demonic cults wouldn't do, disregarding the strict separation of men and women. This is due to the times.

Fei Bin said, "You've been colluding with the demons of the Demonic Sect, calling each other sisters, which means you've become one of them. Naturally, we can't tolerate you."

Even if it's murder, you need to give yourself a reasonable reason. As he spoke, he took a step forward and thrust his sword at Yilin.

Linghu Chong hurriedly grabbed the bag and stood in front of Yilin, shouting, "Junior sister, hurry and go get your master to save us!"

Knowing that distant water cannot quench a nearby fire, he sent Yilin to seek help. However, he only sent her away to escape with her life. Fei Bin's longsword swayed, and the tip of the sword stabbed towards Linghu Chong's right side.

Linghu Chong dodged quickly to the side, but Fei Bin unleashed three swift sword strikes, putting him in grave danger. Yilin was alarmed and hurriedly drew her broken sword from her waist, thrusting it towards Fei Bin's shoulder, crying out, "Senior Brother Linghu, you are injured, quickly retreat!"

Fei Bin laughed and said, "The little nun has fallen for worldly desires. She's risking her life for a handsome young man."

With a sharp clash, the two swords clashed, and Yi Lin's broken sword flew out of her hand. Fei Bin raised his longsword and pointed it at her heart.

Seeing that there were five people he was about to kill, and that none of them were able to resist, Fei Bin knew that things could go wrong if he waited too long, and that if even one of them escaped, there would be endless trouble. So he made his move and killed them.

Linghu Chong lunged forward, his left hand aiming two fingers at Fei Bin's eyes. Fei Bin quickly leaped backward, dragging his longsword back with him, slashing a long gash across Linghu Chong's left arm.

Linghu Chong desperately lunged forward and saved Yilin from danger, but he was also out of breath and his body was about to collapse.

Yilin rushed forward to support him, choking back tears, "Let him kill us all!" Linghu Chong gasped, "You...you go quickly..."

Qu Feiyan laughed, "Fool, you still don't understand her feelings. She wants to die with you..." Before she could finish her sentence, Fei Bin thrust his longsword forward, piercing her heart directly.

Qu Yang, Liu Zhengfeng, Linghu Chong, and Yilin exclaimed in unison, never expecting Fei Bin to be so resolute at this moment.

Fei Bin grinned maliciously. It has to be said that anyone who can survive in the underworld must have some skills. It looked like a clever and quirky little girl was about to die.

Linghu Chong's mind was in chaos: "He...he actually killed this little girl, how cruel! And I'm about to die too."

Why does Junior Sister Yilin want to die with me? Although I saved her, she also saved me, and she has already repaid the debt she owed me.

I had never met her before, but we were both fellow disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Although we shared a code of honor in the martial world, there was no need for us to risk our lives for each other.

I never expected that the disciples of the Hengshan Sect would be so loyal to the martial arts world. Master Dingyi is truly a remarkable person.

"Hey, it's this Junior Sister Yilin who's going to die with me, not my Junior Sister Lingshan. What... what is she doing right now?" Seeing Fei Bin's sinister grin, Linghu Chong smiled slightly, sighed, and closed his eyes. He didn't want to see this scene. He wasn't stupid; it would be his turn soon. In his dying moments, he thought about many things.

However, he didn't see it because he had his eyes closed. When Fei Bin made his move, his sword was blocked. He had no choice but to block it. If he had insisted on stabbing, he would have died as well. He blocked it with his sword and looked at the falling stones with great surprise.

"Who is it?" Fei Bin was protecting himself with his sword, yet another unexpected turn of events had occurred. This was truly unfortunate. Seeing this scene, Shen Qingzhou sighed, looking at Fei Bin, who was like a frightened bird. People always find it hard to bear unexpected things.

Of course he came. He was indeed entangled with the Songshan Sect, but he would go with people. Ding Mian and Lu Bai were seriously injured, and only Fei Bin had the strength to spare.

He not only followed Fei Bin, but also discovered someone else, Mo Da, who just stood there watching, seemingly hesitant as well.

Seeing that Qu Feiyan was about to perish, he made the same decision as many transmigrators: he saved her, for the enemy would surely have to come to her rescue.

As for whether he could save him or not, he didn't care. He just wanted to do his best. What if Fei Bin really risked his own life to drag others down with him?

However, Fei Bin was still afraid of dying. He saved himself. If others knew his thoughts, they would be furious. How many people would not save themselves first when they are in danger? This is not a decision, it is instinct.

Seeing Fei Bin on guard, Shen Qingzhou flicked his finger again. He didn't know any special finger techniques, only the most basic Iron Finger Kung Fu, but he had high internal strength and a bunch of palm martial arts, and he had unique skills in using some special techniques.

He might not be on par with top-tier finger techniques like Huang Yaoshi's Finger Flicking Skill, but his opponent wasn't a top-tier master either. To him, Fei Bin was nothing.

Mo Da also wanted to make a move, but Fei Bin acted too quickly and he couldn't catch up. However, when he saw someone make a move, his expression changed. Who was it?

He had been at the Liu residence since then, but had never shown himself. He had been following Liu Zhengfeng the whole time, but he hadn't shown himself.

He also learned that Liu Zhengfeng's heart meridian was broken, and he was somewhat emotional. In the eyes of outsiders, the two brothers were not on good terms. It has to be said that although the two did not get along well, it was not because of the position of sect leader.

He was somewhat saddened to learn that Liu Zhengfeng was going to die, but then one person after another appeared, and Fei Bin's appearance enraged him the most.

However, as he was still thinking, suddenly, he blocked with his hand, and a pebble hit his palm hard. He realized that he had been discovered, and who it was.

He was unaware of Shen Qingzhou's actions. He had been following Liu Zhengfeng, which served as a form of protection. He couldn't directly intervene, as Zuo Lengchan would have to talk to him. After all, he was the head of Hengshan Sect, and the sect leader's actions represented the entire sect. You see, Zuo Lengchan hadn't come, which was also due to this reason.

If the Songshan Sect members do something excessive, he can simply say that they went too far and put them in solitary confinement, and that will be the end of it. After all, they killed people associated with the Demonic Sect, so he won't take action on his own initiative.

Therefore, Mo Da will not show himself on his own initiative. His appearance represents Hengshan's decision, and Hengshan will not be plunged into crisis because of any one person.

But now that he's been discovered, there's nothing more to say, especially the voice in his ear, which tells him that he has no choice but to show himself.

"Master Mo, Zuo Lengchan has bullied you to this extent, why don't you show yourself?" Mo Da knew there was no way to avoid it.

As everyone was filled with surprise, suddenly a few faint notes of a huqin (a two-stringed bowed instrument) reached their ears. The music was mournful, like a sigh or a sob, and then trembled, producing a broken, rustling sound, like raindrops falling on leaves. Linghu Chong was greatly surprised and opened his eyes. Fei Bin's heart skipped a beat. Master Mo Da of Xiaoxiang Night Rain had arrived. After all, his personal style was too distinctive. There seemed to be very few people who played the huqin. Many martial arts heroes loved music, but most of them played the xiao (a type of vertical flute) and qin (another type of vertical flute). The huqin was indeed a rare instrument.

But the sound of the erhu grew increasingly mournful, and Master Mo still did not emerge from behind the tree. Fei Bin called out, "Master Mo, why don't you show yourself?"

Mr. Mo's actions were merely an attempt to scare Fei Bin away, but seeing that Fei Bin remained unmoved, he had no intention of leaving.

The music suddenly stopped, and a thin figure emerged from behind the pine tree. Linghu Chong had long heard of the name "Xiaoxiang Night Rain" Master Mo, but had never seen him before.

Under the moonlight, he appeared as thin as a rake, his shoulders hunched, looking like a consumptive ghost who might collapse at any moment. It was unexpected that the renowned leader of the Hengshan Sect would be such a person.

Master Mo held the erhu in his left hand, cupped his hands to Fei Bin, and said, "Brother Fei, greetings to Alliance Leader Zuo."

Seeing that he meant no harm and knowing that he and Liu Zhengfeng were not on good terms, Fei Bin said, "Thank you, Mr. Mo. Hello, my senior brother."

Liu Zhengfeng of your esteemed sect has allied himself with a demonic figure from the Demonic Sect, intending to harm my Five Mountains Sword Sect. Master Mo, what do you suggest we do?

This is also why he doesn't plan to leave. From the outside perspective, Liu Zhengfeng and Mo Da don't have a good relationship. Although Dong Hao made a move today, it doesn't necessarily represent Mo Da's actions.

Master Mo slowly took two steps closer to Liu Zhengfeng and said coldly, "He deserves to die!"

The word "kill" had barely left his lips when a cold light flashed, and a thin, narrow longsword appeared in his hand. He thrust it back sharply, aiming straight for Fei Bin's chest.

This move was incredibly fast and dreamlike, a signature move from the "Thirteen Styles of Hengshan Clouds and Mist".

Fei Bin had fallen for Liu Zhengfeng's martial arts trick at the Liu residence before, and now he was caught in the trap again. In great fear, he retreated hastily, and with a hiss, a long gash was cut into his chest by a sharp sword. His clothes were torn, and his chest muscles were also cut. Although the injury was not serious, he was filled with shock and anger, and his spirit was greatly diminished.

Fei Bin immediately retaliated with his sword, but Master Mo had already gained the upper hand with his first strike, and his follow-up attacks were relentless. His thin sword, like a serpent, trembled incessantly, weaving through Fei Bin's sword light, forcing Fei Bin to retreat repeatedly, unable to utter a single curse.

Qu Yang, Liu Zhengfeng, and Linghu Chong were all terrified and bewildered by the ever-changing sword techniques of Master Mo, which resembled ghosts.

Liu Zhengfeng and his senior brother studied under the same master for decades, but he never expected that his senior brother's swordsmanship would reach such a level.

Even at his peak, he was no match for his senior brother. His senior brother was too low-key, so low-key that he was considered inferior to him in the martial arts world.

At this moment, he truly felt that it was the right thing for his master to pass the leadership to his senior brother. If he were the head of Hengshan Sect, Hengshan would probably be in crisis by now.

He knew that Mo Da's martial arts were superior to his own, but he never expected him to be this strong; it was truly astonishing.

A drop of blood splattered between the two longswords. Fei Bin dodged and leaped, trying his best to parry, but he could not escape the sword light of Master Mo. The blood gradually splattered into a red circle around the two of them.

Suddenly, Fei Bin let out a long, miserable scream and leaped up. Master Mo took two steps back, inserted his long sword into the erhu, turned and left. A tune of "Night Rain in Xiaoxiang" rang out from behind the pine tree and gradually faded into the distance.

Shen Qingzhou watched this scene, wondering if Mo Da was doing it on purpose or not. Wasn't he curious about his identity, or was he planning to disappear into the shadows again?

It seems that people in the martial arts world are confident in their skills; he probably doesn't think he just happened to see him by chance.

However, this incredible lightness skill was indeed excellent. However, he could not have imagined how terrifying the martial art combining the Eight Steps in the Air and the Solitary Journey of Ten Thousand Miles would be when used by Shen Qingzhou.

Fei Bin leaped up but immediately fell to the ground, a spurt of blood gushing upwards from his chest like a fountain. In the fierce battle just now, he had used the internal energy of the Songshan Sect. The internal energy had not dissipated after being stabbed in the chest, forcing the blood to gush out of the wound. It was both strange and terrifying.

Yilin, supporting Linghu Chong's arm, was so frightened that her heart was pounding. She asked in a low voice, "Are you alright?"

Qu Yang sighed, "Brother Liu, you once said that you and your fellow disciples were not on good terms, but I never expected that he would come to your rescue when you were in danger."

Liu Zhengfeng said, "My senior brother's behavior is strange and hard to understand. The reason why we don't get along is not because of any difference in wealth or poverty. It's just that we can't get along no matter what."

Qu Yang shook his head and said, "His swordsmanship is so exquisite, but the erhu he plays is so mournful that it brings tears to people's eyes. It's too vulgar and can't shake off the taste of the common people."

Liu Zhengfeng said, "Yes, my senior brother's playing of the erhu is unrepeatable, and the melody tends to be as sorrowful as possible. Good poems and lyrics are meant to be joyful without being licentious, and sorrowful without being painful. Isn't the same true for good music? Whenever I hear his erhu, I want to stay away from it."

Linghu Chong thought to himself, "These two are obsessed with music. At this critical moment of life and death, they are still discussing what it means to be sad but not hurtful, and what it means to be elegant but vulgar. Fortunately, Master Mo arrived in time and saved our lives."

Liu Zhengfeng added, "But when it comes to swordsmanship and martial arts, I am far inferior. I have been quite disrespectful to him in the past, and now that I think about it, I am truly ashamed."

Qu Yang nodded and said, "The Hengshan Sect Leader truly lives up to his reputation." He then turned to Linghu Chong and said, "Young brother, your courage in trying to save my granddaughter is truly admirable. I have another request to make; I wonder if you can grant it?"

Linghu Chong said, "If you have any orders, senior, I will obey." That's just who he is. Even if he knows that the other party is a member of the Demonic Sect, he will help them if he likes them. He is not a bad person, but his actions are, to some extent, aiding and abetting evil, like Tian Boguang.

Qu Yang glanced at Liu Zhengfeng and said, "My brother Liu and I are devoted to music. After several years of effort, we have created a piece called 'The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.' We are confident that the wonder of this piece is unprecedented in history."

Even if there were another Qu Yang in the world in the future, there might not be another Liu Zhengfeng, and even if there were another Liu Zhengfeng, there might not be another Qu Yang.

Even if there were figures like Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng, they might not have been born at the same time, met, or become friends. For two people who are both skilled in music and internal martial arts, share similar interests, and have comparable levels of cultivation to create this piece together would be extremely difficult.

"This music is now lost forever. My brother Liu and I, even in the afterlife, cannot help but sigh with sorrow." He then pulled a booklet from his robes, saying, "This is the score for the 'Smiling Swordsman' melody,' for both the qin and xiao. Please, young brother, remember the effort we've put into it, and carry this score to the world to find a worthy successor."

Liu Zhengfeng said, "If this 'Swordsman Song' can be passed down to the world, Brother Qu and I can die in peace."
