Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

“Immortal Zi Xun! Everyone says you have returned, that you have come back from the fall of immortality! How can you be so stubborn and still collude with evil people like Lin Yaoxie! If you regret it, it’s not too late to come now!” said an unknown junior sect leader beside Bai Zi Hua.

"How dare you tell me what to do!" Zi Xun lashed out with a short vine, lashing it hard across the man's face!

"Little Bone...do you remember Peach Blossom Village? Do you remember the Heavenly Chain? Do you remember Osmanthus Cake?!" Lin Yaoxie said slowly, "Little Bone! You really don't remember your brother Yaoxie?!"

Hua Qiangu's eyes flickered, as if she was carefully considering what Lin Yaoxie had just said.

"Xiao Gu, no matter who you are or where you are, as long as I'm here, you can do whatever you like." Lin Yaoxie's words were like a soft needle that stung Hua Qiangu.

"Little Bone, come to your master..."

"Ah..." Hua Qiangu clutched her head in pain, then clenched her fists, and a brute force emanated from her body!

Chapter 139 The Final Battle

Hua Qiangu's body erupted with a powerful force, blasting the corpses around her dozens of meters away. Her skin tone appeared somewhat abnormal, with black markings covering her flesh-colored skin.

"Demon, will Qian Gu be alright?" Zi Xun asked worriedly.

"Brother Yaoxie... what happened to Qiangu..." Ni Mantian covered the wound on her lower abdomen with her hand, looking at Lin Yaoxie and Hua Qiangu with great concern, "Can't Qiangu withstand this kind of brute force?!"

“Yes! That makes sense!” Dongfang nodded. “That must be it. Qian Gu has only just begun her cultivation and has only just undergone the marrow cleansing and bone tempering process, so she simply cannot withstand such brutal and violent power. That is why this situation has occurred!”

"Then... what should we do?!" Qing Shui said worriedly, "Now that Erqiqi knows what happened, is there any way to save her?!"

"If it really is the reason Mantian mentioned, I have seen an ancient prescription..." Zi Xun pondered. She knew that if she revealed it, Lin Yaoxie would definitely...

She did it, but if she didn't say it, she couldn't just stand by and watch Hua Qiangu explode and die!

“As long as there is someone with extremely strong skills to share the burden with him… then there is a possibility of survival…” Zi Xun spoke slowly, but as soon as she said this, everyone knew what she meant and they all looked at Lin Yaoxie.

"As long as there is this method, I am not afraid. However, after I rush up, you must protect yourselves!" Lin Yaoxie instructed. Bai Zihua's target has always been him, so if he goes to help Hua Qiangu at the beginning, Bai Zihua will probably take the opportunity to kill him.

"Okay... Don't worry! Even if he's at the tenth level, we can still protect ourselves!" Dongfang Huoqing said. After all, this was his Yixiu Pavilion's territory, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to save his life.

“Okay!” Lin Yaoxie said.

"Yao Xie! Be careful! Be very careful!" Zi Xun said worriedly. She regretted saying those words as soon as they left her mouth. If something happened to Hua Qian Gu, Lin Yao Xie would be in great pain. But if something happened to both of them, what would become of her and Qing Shui?

"Demon brother... I'll wait for you to come back!" Ni Mantian said, her lips already very pale. It seemed that someone as cunning and treacherous as Bai Zihua couldn't possibly be just...

They sent someone to assassinate them, and the knife was actually poisoned!

"Brother Lin, I hope you and Qian Gu can both return safely!" Qing Shui said softly. Now she was on the opposite side of Chang Liu, but she had no regrets. She thought that if Shuo Feng were still alive, he would definitely have made the same choice as her.

"Dongfang, take good care of them!" Lin Yaoxie said, resolutely throwing himself behind Hua Qiangu.

Hua Qiangu's body was somewhat dazed due to Lin Yaoxie's intervention, and it trembled violently for a moment before slowly accepting Lin Yaoxie's sharing of the burden. The primordial power within her body was reduced by a few points compared to before.

"Lin Yaoxie, it seems you really want to become a ghost under my command!" Bai Zihua's sneer revealed a hint of ruthlessness, clearly intending to take advantage of Hua Gangu and Lin Yaoxie's current immobility to wipe them out in one fell swoop.

Looking at Bai Zihua's appearance, Dongfang knew that Lin Yaoxie was right. Bai Zihua no longer cared about them. He quickly led everyone to slowly push forward a small bone, pressed his hands on the wall and flipped it over. The group had already disappeared from the siege of Changliu disciples.

"Lin Yaoxie, I'll let you taste the Thirteen Demonic Swords I've just mastered!" Bai Zihua's eyes suddenly turned red, clearly indicating that he was no longer going to pretend and was going to confront him completely.

He abandoned his disguise of Changliu and used his demonic powers.

"Bai Zihua...you..." Several sect leaders who were nearby were stunned by what they saw. It is said that hearing is believing and seeing is believing. They had previously refuted Lin Yaoxie and his group's words on behalf of Bai Zihua, but now they realized that...they were the ones who had been deceived.

"He's possessed by a demon! Bai Zihua has fallen into demonic possession!" An impatient sect leader was sent flying backward, shouting, "Catch Bai Zihua! Don't let him wreak havoc on the world!"

"Hmph..." Bai Zihua coldly looked at the few sect leaders who were jumping around like monkeys, ignoring them completely, and went straight for Lin Yaoxie. At this point, he no longer cared about his reputation. As long as he could kill Lin Yaoxie and deal with these tails, he would still be the Venerable Changliu. As for these messy sect leaders, they were already dust!

"The Thirteen Swords of the Demon!" Bai Zihua had long since discarded the Heartless Sword; now he held a sword as black as ink. This sword was very heavy; normally, it might not have attracted much attention, but now, as he wielded it, with each swing, it seemed to contain particles as dense as the fog of hell...

"First sword! Joy!" Bai Zihua's black sword struck Lin Yaoxie's golden light, but failed to break through the golden light's defenses.

"Second sword! Bitter!" Bai Zihua struck the same spot with his sword again. Then came the third and fourth swords. His speed increased, and he controlled each move perfectly, concentrating all his power on the same point.

Lin Yaoxie's golden light shield actually looked like it was about to break.

"Fifth sword! Alas!" Bai Zihua roared, and the golden light shattered in response.

With the momentum of the attack, Bai Zihua's sixth sword strike came in response, "Sixth sword! Departure!"

Lin Yaoxie could only raise and swing a longsword, colliding with the dark giant sword, thus gaining a sliver of hope for survival.

"Lin Yaoxie! Your death is at hand!" Bai Zihua's voice was sinister. "Seventh Sword! Die!"

"You want my demon brother to die! I'd like to see who wants to die first!" Hua Qiangu said in a soft, childlike voice, as if she were pretending to be an adult. At this moment, she had already clasped hands with Lin Yaoxie, and all the power that she couldn't control was under Lin Yaoxie's control. "Primordial Power!"

Hua Qiangu and Lin Yaoxie unleashed their primordial power together, forcefully deflecting Bai Zihua's seventh sword. Moreover, they took a step forward into the void, further expanding the range of their primordial power and enveloping Bai Zihua once more.

"The Thirteen Swords of the Demon? What a pity, you've only used seven of them..." Lin Yaoxie said, "Even now, are you still so stubborn?"

"I did nothing wrong! Why should I regret it?!" Bai Zihua stubbornly persisted, and soon blood was flowing from his eyes, nose, ears, and mouth. No one can survive for long under the control of the primordial power.

Chapter 140 The Demise of Changliu

Bai Zihua was bleeding profusely from all seven orifices, but he stubbornly resisted. He couldn't fall. Throughout his life, he had never allowed himself to do anything truly free. His life had always been buried in the reputation of Changliu, and his sword had always dreamed of piercing through the nine heavens. As a disciple, he dared not respond to An Ying; as the sect leader, he dared not save Tan Fan. But the reputation he had carried for a lifetime left him with sleepless nights and a heart burdened with unresolved issues.

What his reputation had not given him, the devil gave him. When he had nothing, he seized the opportunity to break through the nine heavens and truly ascend to the tenth heaven.

"Lin Yaoxie! Do you think this is the end?!" Bai Zihua, who was clearly powerless against the impact of the primordial power, somehow managed to stand up unsteadily, leaning on something.

"Lin Yaoxie! I want to fight you fair and square!" Bai Zihua plunged the dark, heavy greatsword into the ground and wiped the blood off his face haphazardly.

"You despicable person! Why didn't you say we should have a fair fight when you launched that sneak attack?!" Hua Qiangu cursed, "And you call yourself the head of Changliu Sect? Acting so despicably, petty, treacherous, and ruthless, you actually have the nerve to challenge others to a duel?!"

"Your actions have now exposed your demonic possession, so you might as well admit your mistake and die a quick death!" A junior sect leader who had switched sides shouted, pretending that he had only been misled and had already distanced himself from Bai Zihua.

"Bai Zihua, since you have already fallen into demonic possession, you still deceived us into letting Changliu punish you! What a vicious heart you have!"

"Young Master Lin! We beg you to rid our righteous sect of such a wicked scourge!"

Lin Yaoxie watched the situation where everyone was kicking Bai Zihua while he was down, but his heart remained unchanged. He had long seen through the true colors of these people, and now he was just quietly watching Bai Zihua make a fool of himself.

"Bah! You bunch of opportunistic scoundrels! You used to respect and love Changliu so much, but now that you've failed to kill the demon god, you're just running away from the battlefield!" Bai Zihua said hatefully.

He hadn't held out much hope for these small sects that had been summoned temporarily. However, things had deviated from his expectations, and the fact that these small sects had gathered together could buy him some time. After some consideration, he had no choice but to soften his stance again.

"I, Bai Zihua, have indeed fallen into demonic possession, but it's all for the sake of intercepting and killing the Demon God! I'm willing to sacrifice my life to ensure a thousand years of peace for the world! If I hadn't fallen into demonic possession, even the Tenth Heaven Realm alone wouldn't be able to defeat the Demon God!" Bai Zihua feigned an explanation. "Now, seeing Lin Yaoxie and the Demon God Hua Qiangu wreaking havoc on the mortal realm, yet the sect leaders aren't united, do they really want to wait for me to..."

"Bai Zihua is dead. Are you just going to let those two slaughter you all?"

In just a few words, Bai Zihua had already placed himself on the moral high ground again, "Moreover, today's battle is already decided. The sect leaders are being far too childish, thinking that if you surrender and admit your mistakes now, Lin Yaoxie will be forgiven! Think of the Demon God a thousand years ago! Can you really remain unscathed?!"

The sect leaders exchanged glances, all seeing hesitation in their eyes. Bai Zihua was undoubtedly right; if he were to die first, then they would truly have no one left to contend with Lin Yaoxie! Moreover, with Ni Mantian being stabbed, Zi Xun being attacked while transmitting her power, and the corpses scattered throughout the Yi Xiu Pavilion, they had already forged a deep grudge against Lin Yaoxie.

"Brother Demon..." Hua Qiangu said softly, "Should we..."

Although Hua Qiangu didn't finish her sentence, Lin Yaoxie understood her meaning. If Lin Yaoxie was willing to promise that if the sect leaders admitted their mistakes and withdrew now, he would forgive their past actions and promise not to bring up old grievances, then Bai Zihua would truly be left all alone.

"No need. These two-faced people are just wasting food. Besides, we can't leave any future trouble so that the Yi Xiu Pavilion will face such danger again," Lin Yaoxie said. After all, he wasn't from this world. After completing Hua Qiangu's demon god mission, he would return to the real world. Naturally, he wanted to reduce the danger here as much as possible!

These sect leaders, focused solely on self-preservation, were sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, and naturally heard Lin Yaoxie's words. They immediately understood that there was no way to let the feud pass them by today, so they might as well agree to Bai Zihua's request and...

He's already dealt with Lin Yaoxie; we can deal with the rest later!

"The sect leader heard it too. You're trying to get him to show his loyalty, but he doesn't care!" Bai Zihua said contemptuously. "Right now, I'm willing to go with you. You hold off Hua Qiangu, and I'll take care of Lin Yaoxie!"

"Changliu disciples, heed my command! Strike with all your might to kill the Demon God Hua Qiangu!" Bai Zihua declared forcefully!

Some disciples hesitated and wavered, sharing the same thoughts as the sect leaders, and had no choice but to take a desperate gamble.

"Lin Yaoxie! You just mocked me, saying that the Thirteen Swords of the Demon only used seven swords! Now I'll let you experience the true power of the Thirteen Swords of the Demon!" In an instant, Bai Zihua had already risen above the clouds, and the pitch-black giant sword was actually emitting a bright red glow.

"First sword! I beg!" A layer of blood mist covered Bai Zihua's eerie face. "Did you feel the power just now wasn't enough? Now this is just the beginning!"

Lin Yaoxie also adopted a fighting stance, but instead of taking out any more small swords, he simply assumed a 277 Tai Chi posture, seemingly intending to use softness to overcome hardness.

The first sword strike was deflected by the back of Lin Yaoxie's hand, causing it to swing sideways and deviate from its direction.

Bai Zihua was not discouraged. "Sword of Resentment! Sword of Joy!"

Bai Zihua actually swung his sword twice in succession, but Lin Yaoxie was able to dodge in the blink of an eye and once again appeared beside Bai Zihua, seemingly intending to engage in close combat.

Bai Zihua naturally knew that once Lin Yaoxie got close to him, the power of the Thirteen Demon Swords would naturally be weakened.

"Sword of Sorrow! Sword of Bitterness!" Bai Zihua did not stop, but continued, "Sword of Pity! Sword of Pain!"

Lin Yaoxie, now completely at ease, showed no fear whatsoever. "Bai Zihua, you suffered so much when you were trying to comprehend the sword, how could you possibly truly understand its profound meaning?!"

"Regretful sword! Hateful sword!" Bai Zihua still didn't hear it.

The combined power of their fists, kicks, and swords was terrifying.

"Revenge Sword! Killing Sword!" Lin Yaoxie had clearly figured out Bai Zihua's style. Most of his sword moves were extensions of the Heartless Sword. He had only been comprehension of the sword for a short time and had not yet grasped the true essence of this sword technique.

"Life Sword!" Bai Zihua grew increasingly anxious as he watched Lin Yaoxie become more and more relaxed and natural.

"Die! Death Sword!"

Chapter 140H: Zihua's Sudden Enlightenment

Bai Zihua's strongest attack, the Life and Death Sword, was easily intercepted by Lin Yaoxie, who had no weapon in his hand.

Bai Zihua's pale face was filled with disbelief. "How is this possible! How is this possible!" He looked down at his hands and the sword in them.

Yes, how is that possible? He clearly broke through Lin Yaoxie's defense just now, and he clearly forced Lin Yaoxie to confront him head-on. How could he suddenly return to the initial situation of being crushed? How is that possible!

"Haha..." Lin Yaoxie laughed wildly, "It seems I really overestimated you; you still haven't figured it out."

Bai Zihua clutched his head in anguish, staring at Lin Yaoxie's mocking face. How could this be? He couldn't believe he had failed; he couldn't accept his defeat.

"Bai Zihua, Sect Leader Bai! Haven't you seen clearly yet?! Just now, your Thirteen Demonic Swords broke through my Demon Brother's golden light protection! But that was because Demon Brother drew upon most of his power to absorb the Primordial Power with me!" Hua Qiangu explained clearly, shattering Bai Zihua's illusions with every word. "You think you're so great just because you've reached the tenth level? If it weren't for us holding Demon Brother back, he would have died countless times already!"

"Impossible! Impossible! You're lying to me!" Bai Zihua shook his head violently. How could this be? Before the power transfer, he clearly possessed the ability to contend with Bai Zihua. Even Dongfang, the Pavilion Master of Yixiu Pavilion, was worried. How could he have returned to his original state?!

"Bai Zihua, you originally had a chance, but you didn't know how to cherish it." Lin Yaoxie said. At this moment, there were only the three of them still standing in the Yixiu Pavilion.

"It's all because of you!" Bai Zihua roared, the blood-red lines on his face and neck reappearing.

"Is it really because of me?" Lin Yaoxie said coldly, "Are all these things you've done really because of me?"

Bai Zihua's eyes had turned crimson, his hair was flying wildly, and his white robe was stained with blood from the fight!

"It's you!" Bai Zihua roared, "If it weren't for you! I would still be the dignified head of Changliu Sect! My senior brother wouldn't be dead!"

Hua Qiangu snorted coldly, "Mo Yan deserves to die! He harmed our sect's disciples! And he even threw me into the wilderness! It would be an injustice if he didn't die!"

Lin Yaoxie nodded, "Mo Yan deserved to die. You covered for him instead of advising him, and now you even hold a grudge against us. Your heart is truly petty!"

"Lin Yaoxie! It's you! From the moment you first appeared! I've always treated you kindly, never refusing your requests! Yet you've repeatedly shown your ignorance and arrogance!" Bai Zihua cried out fiercely.

His body swayed, and the demonic energy within him surged wildly.

"That's because you couldn't beat my Demon Brother from the very beginning! You make it sound so nice! Why don't you go sing a little tune?!" Hua Qiangu glanced at him contemptuously. "Even I know that it was clearly because your Changliu sect couldn't control so many sect leaders at the beginning, and you wanted to seize the divine artifacts for yourselves, so you wanted to use my Demon Brother to help you accumulate divine artifacts. It's only because my Demon Brother is so powerful that, otherwise, given your style of doing things, you would probably have discarded him after he was no longer a useful tool!"
