Chapter 94

"Yan'er!!!"

"Be careful!!!"

Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng shouted simultaneously, but they were helpless, having exhausted all their internal energy from the duet of qin and xiao, and could not intervene. It seemed that Qu Feixian's small figure, now enveloped by Fei Bin's sword light, was destined to meet her end.

But don't forget about our Alpha. What is Alpha doing?

It's more accurate to say what Alpha is thinking. In fact, Alpha has already taken action!!!

No one present could be faster than Fei Bin's sword, except for Fei Bin himself.

However, if it were a projectile, it would be a different story. Of course, this was a large projectile.

Alpha's move was like a rainbow, and in a flash, he threw a book-sized object as a projectile. The shape suggested it was a book.

Fei Bin sneered, his sword technique unchanged, still aiming for Qu Feixian's back, completely unaffected by the object Alpha had thrown.

The Songshan Sword Technique, under the refinement of the great master Zuo Lengshan, retained and elevated the essence of the original incomplete Songshan Sword Technique, transforming it into the most destructive sword technique of the Five Mountains Sword School.

Not only was the sword technique vicious, but Fei Bin, enraged by being toyed with, had poured all his internal energy into this strike. At this moment, even a steel plate would be pierced by Fei Bin's sword, let alone a book!

The sword and the book met, and Fei Bin's sword fiercely struck the large book Alpha had thrown as a projectile!

The finely polished ivory pages gleamed even more white and flawless under the bright moonlight. The sword tip, sharp as lightning, stabbed into the ivory page, where a small seal script character "Heaven" was written!

"Xiaodao Tian Shu?!"

With an incredulous gaze, Fei Bin read the name of the book, which seemed to be carved from ivory. The internal energy in his chest surged, and the powerful internal energy contained in his strike was repelled by the ivory book, almost making him lose his grip on the sword.

What material is this book? How could it so easily block my sword?

The [Xiaodao Tian Shu] lay quietly under the bright moonlight, its white pages showing not a single crack.

Everyone looked at the incredible ivory book in shock, and none were more shocked than Fei Bin, who was struggling to catch his breath from the repulsion.

Only Fei Bin knew how impossible it was for the book to remain unscathed after his strike!

Fei Bin's previous strike was called "Songxu Yizhen," the most destructive move in the seventeen Songshan Sword Techniques, concentrating all internal energy at the sword tip, capable of piercing through anything.

Yet, this devastating move could not pierce an ivory-carved ancient book, which was truly unacceptable to Fei Bin.

Even more frustrating was that Qu Feixian had taken this opportunity to escape to Alpha's side.

Alpha stepped forward, shielding Qu Feixian behind him, determined to protect her at all costs.

Fei Bin, a top expert of the Songshan School, was shocked but not so much that he lost his composure. He calmed down, gripped his sword again, and turned to strike Liu Zhengfeng with "Songyang Qianyuan."

Liu Zhengfeng, whose heart meridian had been severed during the retirement ceremony and now had no internal energy, smiled bitterly and closed his eyes, awaiting death.

Alpha, protecting Qu Feixian, didn't care at all. It wasn't that he couldn't help, but rather that he was too lazy to. These two old men, who had lost their way in music, had sacrificed their families for their art. If not for saving Qu Feixian, Alpha wouldn't even bother talking to them.

Let them go together, good friends for life, remember to be reborn as a boy and a girl next time...

Actually, Alpha wasn't thinking that much. He was pondering his own move, the [Xiaodao Tian Shu] that had automatically returned to his hand!

[Xiaodao Tian Shu (Special Item):

Level Requirement: None;

Class Requirement: None;

Alignment Requirement: All Good Alignments;

Properties: Indestructible;

Properties: Absolute Magic Resistance;

Player Alpha Soul Bound.]

Alpha had used the "indestructible" property to block the sword for Qu Feixian, and even he didn't expect it to work so well. He thought it would just be deflected, but it actually repelled Fei Bin.

So, this [Xiaodao Tian Shu] can be used as an incredibly powerful defensive item?

This was an unexpected discovery for Alpha. He had long been accustomed to using [Internal Energy Shield] to withstand attacks and never thought about using something to block or intercept.

Alpha was still pondering when Fei Bin's "Songyang Qianyuan" reached Liu Zhengfeng.

Liu Zhengfeng showed no fear, and Qu Yang smiled and shook his head, not worried about Liu Zhengfeng.

At this moment, Alpha felt a slight respect for these two aging heroes. Despite their obsession with music, their demeanor was still worthy of respect. This kind of indifference to life and death was not something everyone could possess.

Alpha was tempted to use the [Xiaodao Tian Shu] again, but before he could act, Fei Bin stopped:

A mournful erhu melody slowly approached, melancholic and sorrowful...

No one would fail to recognize the erhu player at this moment on Hengshan.

No one would be foolish enough to continue attacking Liu Zhengfeng with the erhu player nearby.

Because this melody belonged to one person...

...Hengshan Mo Da!!!

Finally, he's here!!!

Alpha was excited, tightly gripping Qu Feixian's wrist, making the little girl frown. It was understandable; he was about to meet his idol and couldn't contain his excitement.

Quiet,沧桑, unpredictable, and unbound by convention—unscrupulous,

Mo Da, the "One Sword Falls Nine Geese," possessed all the characteristics of a wandering master.

The undisputed old man of [The Smiling, Proud Wanderer], though his appearance matched the description in the book, could not hide his transcendent aura...

Mo Da, hunched over, slowly played the erhu as he approached Fei Bin, his steps unsteady but orderly.

Upon reaching Fei Bin, Mo Da held the erhu in his left hand, bowed to Fei Bin, and said:

"Fei Senior, greetings from Zuo Alliance Leader."

"Thank you, Mo Da. My senior brother is well. Your sect's Liu Zhengfeng has associated with the evil people of the Cult of the Demon, intending to harm our Five Mountains Sword School. What do you think should be done, Mo Da?"

Fei Bin returned the bow and asked Mo Da.

Fei Bin had no intention of killing Liu Zhengfeng himself. He wanted Mo Da to do it. Fei Bin's plan was clear:

Rumors said there was discord within Hengshan, with Mo Da and Liu Zhengfeng at odds. It would be natural for Mo Da to want to kill Liu Zhengfeng. However, Fei Bin knew that killing Liu Zhengfeng himself would be different from letting Mo Da do it in front of him.

—The former would tarnish Mo Da's reputation, while the latter would be justified. Fei Bin's plan was clear.

Thus, Fei Bin intended to use Mo Da to kill Liu Zhengfeng. Mo Da cooperated, nodding and taking two unsteady steps toward Liu Zhengfeng, saying coldly:

"Kill him!"

As soon as the word "kill" was spoken... what happened next is obvious. To avoid being accused of plagiarism by Jin Yong, I'll just say that after a few seconds...

...Fei Bin was dead...

Fei Bin died in a most miserable and undignified way, unable to even utter a complete, heavily accented Henan phrase expressing his indignation at Mo Da's ambush...

"Ge neng..."

Fei Bin, full of rage, leaped high into the air, and blood gushed from his wounds like fountains.

In the mist of blood, Fei Bin's life force drained away completely.

Fei Bin, covered in sword wounds, died a terrifying death, with at least a hundred sword cuts on his body.

Alpha, a tough guy, watched in shock, and Qu Feixian clung to Alpha's arm, her face pale, clearly terrified by Fei Bin's gruesome death.

Qu Yang shook his head without a word, while Liu Zhengfeng's expression was complex, wanting to say something to Mo Da but hesitating.

After killing Fei Bin, Mo Da retracted his sword. The Hengshan Sect leader glanced at Liu Zhengfeng and Qu Yang, put away his thin, terrifyingly sharp sword, and limped to Alpha:

"You didn't intervene earlier because you disapproved of Zhengfeng's obsession with music, which endangered his family—why did you later try to save him?"

"I couldn't bear to see a great master fall to a despicable rat."

Alpha, though surprised that Mo Da had seen through his thoughts, was not flustered and answered smoothly.

"Was it despicable for me to ambush Fei Bin?"

"Despicable, but not a rat."

Alpha gave himself 20 points for his clever response. It was truly well said!!!

"Good!! Good!! Good!! I like you!!!"

Clearly, Alpha's response was worth 20 points. Mo Da praised him with three "goods" and even threw something to Alpha.

Alpha instinctively caught it, and when he looked up, Mo Da had already disappeared into the night, leaving no trace. The old man's ability to play the part of a master was truly impressive.

"Congratulations, young hero,"

Liu Zhengfeng, who had been half-dead, suddenly perked up, half-collapsed on the ground, and bowed to Alpha, smiling...
