The current Chi Baicheng is not the weakling who was instantly killed by Tian Boguang in the original story. He is expressionless and grips the hilt of his sword.

The aura exploded… like a comet bursting, causing the surrounding martial arts practitioners to involuntarily take a step back. Some martial arts practitioners who had not yet made up their minds instantly made new decisions.

Tian Boguang drew his knife instantly. His swift blade was like a meat grinder. Having already fought these evil-repelling madmen countless times, he now had some experience in such combat.

Swords clashed, flashes of light and shadow. Although Tian Boguang’s swift and powerful swordsmanship was as fast as a whirlwind, his opponent’s Evil-Repelling Sword Technique was even faster. In just three to five minutes, the two had exchanged over a hundred blows. Tian Boguang’s short sword was knocked away, and his right hand, which was wielding the sword, went numb.

“Damn it…it’s…the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual again…your mother…this is the work of that bastard!” Tian Boguang cursed angrily.

He was about to cry.

The martial world… is full of Evil-Repelling Sword Manuals!

He was punished by the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual again… In the three months since he came out of seclusion, he has been defeated by the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual more than once. Now he can hardly beat anyone who practices the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual. Do you know how he got through these three months?

Linghu Chong was completely dumbfounded. The current Linghu Chong was much stronger than in the original work. Although he was still no match for Tian Boguang, he was just unable to defeat him, not unable to escape. Therefore, he did not appear to have any obvious injuries. The two became friends after fighting, and they appreciated each other because they were evenly matched. You could also say that they were birds of a feather.

But now, Linghu Chong discovers that the entire martial arts world is truly different. He had only heard about it before, but now it’s all too exaggerated. A random second-generation disciple of the Taishan Sect who has practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is so powerful.

Although he wasn’t much better than Tian Boguang, he did indeed win.

Actually, Chi Baicheng isn’t having an easy time either. Generally speaking, he’s not as good as Tian Boguang, but the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is too effective against Tian Boguang.

Tian Boguang’s strength is a mystery. After all, he is a self-taught wanderer in the martial arts world. In addition, his body has long been depleted due to his lust for women, so his internal strength cultivation is very low, only at the sixth rank. However, with his fast knife skills and superb lightness skills, ordinary fifth-rank masters may not be able to defeat him. Even fourth-rank masters can run away if they can’t beat him. This is why he has been able to get away with it for so many years and become the king of womanizers.

However, the characteristic of the Evil-Repelling Sword Manual is speed. It is fast in attack and even faster in movement, which is exactly what counters Tian Boguang. Therefore, Chi Baicheng, who is also a sixth-rank swordsman, is a natural counter to Tian Boguang and can defeat him.

When Zhang Weihao and his group arrived, Tian Boguang, seeing that things were not going well, immediately ran away. By the time Zhang Weihao and his group confirmed that the person who had just fled was Tian Boguang, he had already disappeared without a trace.

Zhang Weihao hasn’t practiced any martial arts techniques yet; he’s just focusing on cultivating his internal energy, planning to break through to the Innate Realm before catching up. Naturally, he can’t catch up.

Xue Qianxun could have caught up, but Zhang Weihao didn’t say anything. By the time Zhang Weihao reacted, Tian Boguang had already run far away. Who could blame him? Tian Boguang here actually had the face of a chivalrous hero. He looked quite upright, but judging from his appearance, it was really hard to associate him with a lecherous thief.

However, Linghu Chong is in trouble. Now everyone is criticizing Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect.

While it might have been understandable that he was trying to save someone before, his actions of intervening and letting Tian Boguang escape when the other practitioners of the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique (as they called themselves) attacked and tried to capture him were unforgivable.

Ning Zhong looked at her eldest disciple, Linghu Chong, with a livid expression. This was the first time she had shown disappointment. She had previously praised her eldest disciple’s actions, but now her eyes were filled with indescribable disappointment and frustration.

Upon seeing this, Zhang Weihao immediately stepped forward and slapped Linghu Chong hard across the face, knocking him to the ground. He angrily questioned, “Linghu Chong, do you know what you’re doing? Recite the Huashan Sword Sect’s rules from beginning to end.”

“The first precept of this sect is to not betray one’s master and ancestors, and to disrespect elders. The second precept is to not bully the weak and harm the innocent. The third precept is to not commit adultery and lewdness, and to not harass women. The fourth precept is to not be jealous of fellow disciples and to kill each other. The fifth precept is to not forget righteousness for profit and to steal property. The sixth precept is to not be arrogant and conceited, and to not offend fellow disciples. The seventh precept is to not associate with bandits and to collude with evil spirits. These are the Seven Precepts of Mount Hua, and all disciples of this sect shall abide by them.”

This was recited to Lin Pingzhi by his senior brother Linghu Chong when he first joined the sect. Linghu Chong knew it by heart. But now… while other points are still under debate, the seventh point is based on irrefutable evidence, leaving no room for argument.

“Since it was our senior brother who set off the firecracker, after Uncle Liu’s retirement ceremony, my master’s wife and I will personally capture Tian Boguang and use his head to clear the name of our Huashan Sword Sect. If anyone can bring Tian Boguang’s head to Huashan to claim a reward during this period, I can directly reward them with a famous sword that is no less than Shadow Tiger’s. I wonder if everyone is satisfied?”

Seeing that even Young Master Lingyu Zhang had spoken, and that his handling of the situation was very reasonable, it’s understandable that any sect or force might have a few scoundrels. It’s quite surprising that Linghu Chong, as the eldest disciple, surprised the martial arts practitioners present. Instead, they admired Zhang Weihao for his fair and reasonable actions.

Ning Zhongze was naturally very satisfied with what she saw. Although she had given Linghu Chong a good slap right away, it actually resolved some of the controversy and conflict.

Afterwards, they promised to capture and kill Tian Boguang, this lecherous scoundrel, and even offered a reward for his capture, which can be considered a satisfactory ending, upholding the reputation of the Huashan Sword Sect and turning a major incident into a minor one.

Linghu Chong, who was already completely stunned, did not pretend to be unconscious, but he realized the seriousness of the problem. If he had not intervened to stop Tian Boguang from escaping, it would not have been a big deal, but now it was different, and the impact was indeed very negative.

In fact, Linghu Chong even looked at Zhang Weihao, the junior brother who had taken away his junior sister, with gratitude. Otherwise, his actions just now would have had a huge negative impact on the Huashan Sword Sect, and he would have made a serious mistake.

Yes, Linghu Chong does know right from wrong, but he just doesn’t learn his lesson.

I know what I did was wrong and had a bad influence, but I will continue to do it next time. Who told me to be Linghu Chong, a wandering swordsman who believes in brotherhood and loyalty?
