Mo Xiaobei always sheathed her sword before drawing it. The Crimson Flame Blade was somewhat similar to a long sword from Japan, with a blade over a meter long. Zhang Weihai, with his sharp eyes, noticed that the blade was actually made of very fine, saw-like serrations. The material itself was of high quality, and with his special technique, each time it was drawn, combined with his pure Yang energy, it would spontaneously combust through the friction between the blade and the scabbard, covering the entire blade in flames.

Meanwhile, human fat is the best fuel, so in order for this knife to maintain such a fierce flame, it must keep cutting people and getting stained with human fat, making it an extremely bloodthirsty crimson demon knife.

As for the Crimson Flame Blade Technique, it mainly consists of sword-drawing techniques. The hand speed is extremely fast, and the sword strikes are ruthless and accurate. Combined with the internal energy and sword energy that have the attribute of flames, it is somewhat similar to Kumārajīva’s Flame Blade. It is terrifying, and even ordinary third-rank masters may not be able to defeat this Crimson Flame Blade Technique.

At this moment, no one cared about Liu Zhengfeng anymore; everyone was amazed by the exaggerated swordsmanship before them. Yue Lingshan and the disciples of the Huashan Sect were truly impressed by its coolness.

This sword technique is really cool, and it’s incredibly powerful, as if it could seal the heavens in flames.

Fei Bin, nicknamed “Great Songyang Hand,” is the third bodyguard. His specialty is the Great Songyang Palm. He also cultivates the Songshan Heart Method to a very high level, possessing extremely profound internal strength.

Having already opened up the Triple Burner Meridians in his arms, all his internal energy was now concentrated in his palms, capable of breaking gold and shattering jade. Each palm strike was as powerful as a tidal wave, and under normal circumstances, he was fearless of swords and blades. He could even injure people from a distance with his powerful palm strike. In the original story, the little girl Qu Feiyan was killed by him with a single palm strike.

But Mo Xiaobei is no ordinary girl. She looks about the same age as Yue Lingshan, or even a little younger. Her face still has a childlike innocence, and she is not very tall, but her swordsmanship and internal strength are truly terrifying. The flames on the blade are no joke either.

Contrary to Zhang Weihao’s initial assumption that Mo Xiaobei cultivated the Mingyu Gong, this girl actually cultivated the Pure Yang Internal Force. No wonder her appearance was so different from that of the disciples of the Yihua Palace.

As soon as Fei Bin’s palms approached, he knew very well that this was not a magic trick, but real flames with extremely high temperatures. He could not withstand them head-on and could only dodge helplessly. As a result, he was slashed in the back, not only was his chest cut open, but the flames on the blade also quickly used Fei Bin’s internal energy and body as fuel, turning him into a human torch.

“Ah…it’s so hot! Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Brother, come save me! You little devil…our Songshan Sect will not…let you go…”

“Shut up!” Mo Xiaobei finished speaking and swung her knife, instantly slicing Fei Bin’s neck, leaving only his body burning there.

Seeing Fei Bin almost burned to a crisp, Mo Xiaobei was very happy. She showed her white teeth and grinned as she looked at Ding Mian, the First Bodyguard, and Lu Bai, the Second Bodyguard, who were about to step forward. The two men felt their scalps tingle.

Mo Xiaobei gripped the hilt of the knife and flicked it, instantly extinguishing the flames on the blade. Then, she sheathed the knife, bent down, and made a drawing motion, clearly intending to take both the knife and the other one.

The Blazing Blade Technique itself isn’t a particularly powerful blade technique. It only has a few moves and is known for being simple and straightforward. Therefore, most skilled blade users in the martial arts world compete on speed; whoever has the fastest blade is considered more powerful.

The most typical and representative example is Fu Hongxue.

However, Mo Xiaobei’s Flaming Blade, besides being fast, also possesses magical attacks like flames, and Zhang Weihao saw through another subtle trick hidden beneath the flames.

That is, under the interference of intense flames, the eyes are prone to misjudgment, making it impossible for you to accurately lock onto the actual location of the knife, and you are easily misled by vision, resulting in misjudgment.

Seeing the fierce and murderous little devil approaching, Ding Mian disregarded his status as the Grand Protector of Songshan and directly asked Shangguan Haitang for help: “Master Shangguan, does your Dragon Guard Manor really not intend to intervene? Or is it that the Iron-Blooded Marquis is also afraid of the Yihua Palace and the two female devils, Yaoyue and Lianxing?”

“Don’t you know that the Eastern Depot and the Dragon Guard Manor are mortal enemies?”

“Zhang Lingyu! Young Master Zhang, I don’t know why you are so hostile to our Songshan Sect, but our Songshan Sect has no connection with the Eastern Depot. It’s all a conspiracy by the Demonic Sect.”

“You’re blaming everything on the Sun Moon Cult… Fine, if each of you curses Cao the eunuch, I’ll believe you. Don’t blame me for not warning you, eunuchs are very petty. I can curse him because he can’t afford to offend me. If you curse him, even Zuo Lengchan can’t protect you. There are so many people here, it can’t be kept secret. Alright, let’s get back to the point, please begin your performance!”

Ding Mian and Lu Bai were speechless for a moment, because they knew very well that they couldn’t say such things carelessly, or they would really die.

Moreover, we cannot deny that we were afraid of the Eastern Depot. The Eastern Depot has a bad reputation. Your Songshan Sect is the head of the Five Sacred Mountains. How can you be afraid of the Eastern Depot and Cao Zhengchun?

Shangguan Haitang knew perfectly well whose lackey the Songshan Sect was, and was naturally happy to watch the show. However, she was also surprised by the martial arts skills of Mo Xiaobei, a direct disciple of the Yihua Palace.

I didn’t see Ming Yu Gong, but his Crimson Flame Blade Technique alone is terrifying. I doubt I could win with just one strike.

“Master Dingyi? Daoist Tianmen?”

Seeing that the two sect leaders were hesitant and about to make a move, Zhang Weihai kindly reminded them again: “In the martial world, keen observation is very important. Sometimes it’s not a one-person job. Don’t cause trouble for your sect. The imperial court didn’t care about the massacre of the Yihua Palace, and the government offices would only help cover it up. This is completely different from the Sun Moon Sect. Shaolin and Wudang would not provoke the Yihua Palace. Even if they slaughtered their entire family, they would turn a blind eye. Upholding justice and maintaining so-called martial arts righteousness also requires strength. The martial world… in the end, is still a dog-eat-dog world.”

Even the righteous and upright Master Dingyi hesitated at this moment. She would dare to stand up against ordinary demons even if she was no match for them, but she really didn’t dare to stand up against people like Dugu Qiubai and Yaoyue Lianxing.

The conflict and enmity between the Sun Moon Sect and various martial arts sects is actually quite simple. It all started when Dugu Qiubai challenged various martial arts sects in order to practice martial arts and break through his own martial arts path. If he lost, he had to hand over his inheritance for her reference. If he refused to accept defeat, she would simply wipe out his entire sect.

The most famous battle was the one at Wudang, where even the renowned Master Zhang Sanfeng, who had dominated the martial arts world for sixty years, lost. His handwritten copy of the Tai Chi Classics and his Zhenwu Sword were stolen. Some say that the two did not fight, but only discussed the Dao, and that Dugu Qiubai’s Dao was more powerful than that of Master Zhang Sanfeng.

Anyway, there are various versions. After this battle, Dugu Qiubai was recognized as the number one person in the world, and the Sun Moon Cult was also the number one cult in the world.

However, the martial arts of a sect are the foundation of that sect. Such a forceful robbery without regard for martial ethics naturally offended all the major sects. Previously, with Dugu Qiubai in charge, they could not defeat him and could not afford to offend him, so they could only endure it. Later, Dugu Qiubai and Zhang Sanfeng ascended to heaven one after another, and the Sun Moon Sect naturally became the target of everyone’s criticism.

That time, the martial arts alliance marched all the way to Blackwood Cliff. If it weren’t for Dongfang Bubai’s sudden emergence, defeating more than ten sect leaders in succession and establishing his new reputation as the number one martial arts sect in the world, the Sun Moon Sect would have been destroyed long ago.

However, the leader of the Sun Moon Cult at that time was not Dongfang Bubai, but Ren Woxing. Ren Woxing was an old brother who followed Dugu Qiubai in conquering the world, and could be considered Dugu Qiubai’s senior brother. He was also the Left Envoy of Light, and since the left is the most honorable, he was roughly equivalent to the vice leader.

However, Ren Woxing was domineering and quickly began to retaliate, massacring the martial arts world.

Although he eventually died due to a qi deviation, the feud was established, and the Sun Moon Sect officially became a notorious and universally reviled sect in the martial arts world, with an infamous reputation.

Of course, it wasn’t entirely about revenge; it was more about taking advantage of others and confiscating their property.

After all, even a fool could figure out that Dugu Qiubai must have left behind a lot of good things after his ascension, and those so-called righteous heroes and underworld tyrants naturally didn’t want to miss them.
