The hall was packed with people, yet eerily silent.

Ding Mian looked at the Songshan disciples lying haphazardly at his feet, his face turning pale and then red.

More than twenty people, all elite disciples of the sect, were now piled on the ground like dead dogs, unable to even groan – Shi Potian had casually struck their pressure points when he threw them out.

They were all young people, but the disciples of the Songshan Sect were like ants in front of Shi Potian; Shi Potian could easily kill a whole group of them with a flick of his wrist.

"You...you..." Ding Mian's fingers trembled, and he couldn't utter a word.

As the chief of the Thirteen Protectors, the Songshan Sect has repeatedly embarrassed itself. If it cannot capture Shi Potian today and wipe away the shame, the Songshan Sect will become a laughing stock, and it will bear the main responsibility.

Lu Bai clutched his chest, his eyes filled with horror. He had just thought that with Le Hou and Zhong Zhen there, the four of them together would surely be able to subdue the boy.

But just now—the five of them had unknowingly surrounded Shi Potian, yet they hadn't seen how he broke through the encirclement and appeared in front of Shi Dengda.

So they didn't have time to react and could only watch helplessly as Shi Potian weaved through the crowd like a tiger among sheep, throwing people at him one by one.

Shi Potian was too fast, and his disciples were too useless. By the time they reacted and tried to stop him, everyone had already been thrown away. The disciples and their families of the Liu family were all freed and surrounded Liu Zhengfeng.

Lu Bai recalled Shi Potian's movements just now, which he had never seen before. Shrinking the earth to an inch, shifting form and changing shadow? Could there really be someone who knew the legendary martial arts?

The smile on Le Hou's face finally disappeared. He stared at Shi Potian, a serious expression appearing on his face for the first time, acknowledging that this young man had the right to meddle in other people's business.

Zhong Zhen gripped the hilt of his sword, his knuckles turning white, but he dared not draw it—he was known as the Nine-Bend Swordsman, his swordsmanship was famous for its unpredictable and ever-changing techniques, but just now he hadn't even seen Shi Potian's figure clearly, so what was there to change?

Fei Bin was restrained by Liu Zhengfeng and unable to move, but he still praised, "The Evil-Repelling Sword Technique truly lives up to its reputation; no wonder Abbot Yu wanted it so much!"

After speaking, he glanced sideways at Yu Canghai, secretly resenting that Yu Canghai and the three heroes of Jibei had concealed Shi Potian's strength, which led to their current embarrassing situation.

Little did Yu Canghai know that he was also greatly surprised. He thought to himself that he was lucky to have gone all in and played all his cards, otherwise he might not have been able to deal with Lin Pingzhi.

The members of Fuwei Escort Agency and Sarutobi Riyue were already used to Shi Potian's astonishing actions and took it all for granted.

The thousands of heroes in the hall all paled, including Master Fang Sheng and Daoist Ling Xu.

The beggar girl stared at Shi Potian's handsome, spirited face, her expression constantly shifting—sometimes seething with hatred, sometimes beaming with joy.

Only Yilin, the junior sister of Hengshan Sect, and Miss Yue kept looking at Shi Potian with their eyes sparkling with joy.

Shi Potian walked back to Qu Feiyan's side, and Qu Feiyan deliberately laughed loudly:

"In this hall, the young man is in charge. He says bad guys aren't allowed to kill, and who dares to disobey?"

Liu Qin was completely convinced, and knowing that Shi Potian was her only lifeline, she also said loudly, "It's a pity that Brother Lin is not from the Five Mountains Sword Sect, otherwise, if he were the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, who would dare to disobey him?"

Qu Feiyan shook her head and said, "Liu Qin, your vision is too narrow. Given time, with your skills, young man, can't you become the leader of the martial arts alliance?"

The two sang in unison, and the five bodyguards of the Songshan Sect turned ashen-faced.

The two masters, Yue Hou and Zhong Zhen, stepped forward and lifted the yellow-robed disciples one by one, trying to release their pressure points. They were sweating profusely, but they couldn't release a single one.

Shi Potian said, "These disciples of the Songshan Sect are too ruthless. They kill people at the drop of a hat. I have sealed their martial arts so that they can no longer kill people at will."

"As for the acupoints, they will release on their own after a while."

His tone was flat, as if he were saying something that Yi Jian should take for granted.

"What?"

Zhong Zhen was both shocked and furious. With a clang, he drew his longsword and shouted sharply:

"Lin Pingzhi, you...you're determined to fight the Songshan Sect to the death, and to become an enemy of the entire Five Mountains Sword Sect!"

Breaking the Heavenly Dao:

"I have no intention of being your enemy. It's just that you want to kill good people, and I can only stop you. These Songshan Sect disciples' martial arts skills are too low, and I can easily seal their martial arts. If you guys want to kill people, I may not be able to subdue you so easily. In that case, I might be forced to beat you to death."

"Just like when we killed the tyrant from Qinghai before."

Shi Potian spoke earnestly and sincerely.

"What? He also killed a notorious bandit in Qinghai."

"That was a master of the evil sect, no less skilled than Yu Canghai. Yet he also died at the hands of Lin Pingzhi."

"Qinghai Yixiao is nothing. He just threatened to kill the Thirteen Protectors."

"Let's watch the show, the real show is about to begin?"

These are people who enjoy making a fool of the Songshan Sect.

"Arrogant!"

"Ignorant of one's own limitations."

"He really thinks he's the leader of the martial arts world, like Dongfang Bubai."

"Come out and face your death."

These were the disciples of the Songshan Sect who had just hidden far away and were still able to move. One by one, they drew their swords and shouted at Shi Potian, but they did not take a step forward. The clever ones even took a step back to protect their fellow disciples in front of them.

The five bodyguards simultaneously burst into laughter in a fit of rage, their laughter as piercing as an owl's.

It's clear that he was extremely angry.

Ding Mian, the Pagoda-Bearing Hand, clenched his fists and stepped forward sharply, shouting, "Lin Pingzhi! Make your move! Let me see how you're going to kill me!"

Fei Bin, who had been restrained, screamed:

"Senior Brother Lu! Junior Brother Yue, Junior Brother Zhong, there's no need to follow any rules of the martial world when dealing with this treacherous member of the Demonic Cult! Charge at him side by side! Slash this treacherous member of the Demonic Cult to death! When has our Songshan Sect ever suffered such a humiliating disgrace!"

Le Hou crossed his palms and sneered:

"Young Master Lin, you colluded with the Demonic Sect, crippled my disciple's martial arts, and treated my fellow disciples as nothing. If my fellow disciples allow you to leave this Liu residence alive today, I, 'Great Yin-Yang Hand' Le Hou, will be wiped out of the martial arts world."

He made the first move after speaking.

With both palms striking out simultaneously, one yin and one yang, one palm blazing hot as charcoal, the other cold as ice, the two completely different palm forces intertwined to form an invisible net, descending upon Shi Potian!

With a flick of his longsword, Zhong Zhen unleashed a sword light as sharp as a bolt of lightning, aiming straight for Shi Potian's chest. The tip of the sword trembled, its movements both real and feinting, enveloping seven major acupoints on his chest!

"I've long heard that the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique is unparalleled, yet the young镖头 (bodyguard/escort) has never carried a sword. What is the reason for this? I, the Nine-Bend Sword Master, am eager to experience the power of the Evil-Slaying Sword Technique firsthand."

Shi Potian laughed:

"Sword duels can easily lead to death. Yu Canghai insisted on a sword duel before. Fortunately, his martial arts skills were not high and he was alone, otherwise I might have lost control and killed him."

"If all of you come at me at once, I might lose control and kill you all if I use my sword."

Yu Canghai was so angry that he slammed his fist on the table and stood up.

Zhong Zhen was so angry that he almost choked on his own sword. He quickly calmed himself down and thrust out his sword in anger, the sword light surging.

Ding Mian did not move.

Lu Bai drew his large longsword and stood aside, ready to strike.

They stood still, their eyes fixed on Shi Potian—they were waiting, waiting for the moment when Shi Potian was entangled by the two and revealed a weakness, so they could deliver a fatal blow!

The two bodyguards attacked simultaneously, cooperating perfectly. With the other two bodyguards watching closely from the outside, they almost blocked all of Shi Potian's escape routes!

The room fell silent; everyone held their breath.

Even if Zuo Lengchan himself were present, he would likely perish on the spot with such a formidable force!
