The Prodigal Disciple of Mount Hua: Seizing All Opportunities

"Those who block my way shall die."

Chen Qianyang flicked his wrist, and the longsword emitted a clear and melodious dragon's roar.

Alone, he faced the surging enemy.

"kill!"

Before the low roar had even faded, a figure in pale yellow had already burst out from the Huashan Formation:

"Little Chen! I'll go with you!"

Yue Lingshan had already drawn her longsword, her face still wet with tears, but her eyes were as resolute as iron.

"Nonsense!" Chen Qianyang deflected the incoming crossbow bolts with his sword and shouted sharply, "Go back!"

"No!" Yue Lingshan gripped his sleeve tightly. "Wherever you go, I'll go! Even if we die today, we'll die together!"

Behind her stood Yue Buqun, his face clouded with worry, and Ning Zhongze, her expression complex.

Chen Qianyang was startled.

He looked at this senior sister who had always been pampered.

Yue Lingshan's hands were trembling, but she held the sword very steadily, and there was no fear in her eyes.

She's risking her life to help me...

In fact, he had no good intentions when he approached her that day, but the girl's heart had always been with him and had never changed.

Enough of this, what's the point of scheming and plotting now?

It is from the heart!

"Alright." He said no more, and pushed Madam Liu and her young son to Yue Lingshan's side. "Protect them!"

Before the words were even finished, a whooshing sound suddenly came through the air!

Lu Bai's Crane Hand technique was like a venomous snake emerging from its hole, aiming straight for Chen Qianyang's back.

Yue Lingshan didn't dodge or evade; instead, she slashed her sword upwards, forcefully intercepting the palm strike!

"clang!"

The sword trembled violently, and Yue Lingshan groaned as she staggered backward, blood trickling down the hilt.

"You're asking for it!" Lu Bai grinned maliciously.

Chen Qianyang's eyes flashed with cold light as he used his sword to deflect the palm strike and protect Yue Lingshan.

"Walk!"

Just then.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

The high walls on the east and west sides of the Liu residence suddenly exploded!

Amidst the flying bricks and stones, dozens of dark figures surged in like ghosts.

These men were all dressed in black and moved silently. As soon as they appeared, they rushed straight to the flank of the government troops' crossbow formation!

"Immediate command from the Fire Station—Open a path to survival!"

The leader spoke in a low voice.

The men in black sprang into action upon hearing the news.

Ren Yingying's backup plan has finally come to fruition!

The demonic cult members who besieged Liu's residence were expendable pawns; these were the elite troops that Ren Yingying had deployed.

It seems this holy maiden has also thrown out all her chips.

These elite members of the demonic sect are well-trained and their attacks are ruthless and precise.

Some men flung out a barrage of iron caltrops, aiming to pierce the eyes of the soldiers; others hurled grappling hooks and sickles, snapping the crossbowmen in the front ranks; still others raised both hands in quick succession, covering the gaps in the formation with poisonous needle-like projectiles!

As soon as the offensive began, the officers' and soldiers' ranks were thrown into chaos!

It should be noted that crossbow formations are most vulnerable to close-quarters combat; once caught in the middle of the formation, the long crossbows become a burden.

"An opportunity!" Chen Qianyang's pupils contracted.

He lifted the child with his left hand, and with his right sword, he thrust it straight at the heart of the formation like a dragon emerging from the sea!

The sword tip trembled, conjuring nine cold stars, each one precisely piercing the crossbow's control mechanism!

Ding Ding Ding Ding!

The powerful crossbows arrayed in front collapsed instantly!

The government troops' formation was immediately breached.

"Charge!" Chen Qianyang roared.

……

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield.

Lu Bai and Ding Mian were distracted by Chen Qianyang and the Demonic Sect's surprise attack, causing the Songshan disciples besieging Qu Yang to relax their guard even slightly.

How shrewd and experienced is Qu Yang?

Although he suffered several injuries, his internal strength was not exhausted.

Seeing the chaos, he suddenly roared and broke free of the restraints, his Black Blood Divine Needle already activated!

A flying needle strikes the enemy!

Four disciples from Mount Song were struck by needles and staggered backward.

Qu Yang touched the ground with his toes, his body leaping through the air, and he actually passed through the gaps in the crowd, heading straight for Chen Qianyang!

"Stop him!" Ding Mian turned around in surprise and shouted as he turned back.

But it was too late.

Three skilled fighters from the Ji Huo Tang suddenly appeared from the side, their blades flashing like bolts of lightning, forcefully blocking Ding Mian's path!

"Elder Qu, let's go!"

Qu Yang reached Chen Qianyang's side in a few leaps and bounds, and the two leaned against each other, instantly forming a pincer movement.

"Young Master Chen, it's been a long time." Qu Yang's voice was weary. "The Holy Maiden was right about you. Today, this old man will risk his life to accompany you!"

Having witnessed the death of his close friend, he had already lost the will to fight and was only waiting for his own demise.

But seeing Chen Qianyang's chivalrous persistence and his obsession with protecting Liu Zhengfeng's family, this usually refined elder of the Demonic Sect also felt a long-lost surge of heroic spirit.

Chen Qianyang pierced the throat of the charging soldier with his sword: "Charge out first!"

"Just what I wanted!"

The two, one wielding a sword and the other a palm strike, worked together seamlessly, managing to tear a gap in the encirclement!

……

Meanwhile, within the Huashan formation, Yue Buqun remained silent.

He had been defeated by Chen Qianyang in front of everyone, and his own daughter had shamelessly chosen to elope with that wicked disciple.

He felt a burning pain on his face, a sensation he had never experienced before.

He could sense a significant change in the way his disciples looked at him.

It was no longer respect and fear, but doubt and incomprehension.

He could feel his authority crumbling.

It's all that wicked disciple's fault. If it weren't for him...

Linghu Chong stood by Yang Guo, desperately trying to stop him.

"Let me go!" Little Yang Guo's eyes were bloodshot, wanting to join the battle and help Brother Chen.

"Little Yang Guo! Calm down!" Linghu Chong gritted his teeth and endured.

Chen Qianyang turned around amidst the chaos of battle.

Their gazes met through the rain of blood.

Chen Qianyang remained silent.

He merely shook his head slightly, his gaze sweeping over Ning Zhongze, whose face was deathly pale, and then giving Yang Guo a deep look.

His gaze was sharp as a sword, yet heavy with a sense of entrustment.

Although my master has changed, I remain on Mount Hua.

But my master's wife is still alive, and the foundation of Mount Hua has not been destroyed.

I'm leaving; someone needs to stay here.

Please take good care of my master's wife and the house.

Yang Guo is so intelligent, how could he not understand?

He understood.

That kind of silent entrustment between men carries more weight than a thousand words.

Yang Guo slowly stopped struggling.

He watched Chen Qianyang's resolute back and nodded heavily.

Chen Qianyang withdrew his gaze, no longer having any lingering concerns.

"kill--!"

With a long roar, the sword's power surged!

……

The gate is now in sight.

The area outside the door was already littered with corpses.

Enraged, Ding Mian snatched a powerful crossbow with his bare hands, his arm muscles bulging as he drew it to its full extent!

"Die!"

collapse!

This arrow was infused with all of Chen Qianyang's internal energy, and it shot out like a meteor, heading straight for Chen Qianyang's back!

Today's events have already cost Fei Bin his life. If we let this kid escape as well, where will our reputation as one of the Thirteen Protectors of Songshan stand?

When I see the sect leader, I won't know how to explain myself.

So this kid has to die!

Chen Qianyang was entangled in a fight with two experts from Songshan Mountain when he heard the noise and realized that it was too late to avoid it!

In a flash, Qu Yang sidestepped and rammed Chen Qianyang, knocking him back half a foot, and took the arrow with his left shoulder!

puff!

A crossbow bolt pierced his shoulder blade, and blood rained down!

"Senior Qu!"

"Go...go!" Qu Yang's face turned pale, and he smashed the arrow shaft with a backhand.

Chen Qianyang clenched his teeth so tightly they made a grinding sound.

He knew that if he turned back now, everyone would die.

The Nine Yin Internal Force circulated wildly, and white mist enveloped his body.

Wherever the longsword passed, men and horses fell!

One man is killed in ten steps, his white robes stained with blood.

The group finally broke out of the Liu residence and rushed into the long street!
