My Disciples Are All Villains

Chapter 248 Helper

Zhou Jifeng’s appearance excited the audience. After all, watching a one-sided battle was boring. They might be in awe for the first few rounds, but it got boring after that.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Sword Sect’s disciples began to curse when they saw Zhou Jifeng.

“Zhou Jifeng, traitor of the Heavenly Sword Sect! How dare you show your face here when you’ve joined the Evil Sky Pavilion?”.

“Traitor!”

“Death to the traitor!”

Traitors were looked down upon since ancient times regardless if they were from the Noble Path or the Fiend Path.

This was a conflict between the Evil Sky Pavilion and the Heavenly Sword Sect. The Heavenly Sword Sect’s people even disregarded their lives just to provoke the Evil Sky Pavilion. What did Zhou Jifeng want at this juncture?

Luo Xingkong looked up and said in a deep voice, “Zhou Jifeng, I regret not allowing Changfeng to kill you with a palm strike back then. Otherwise, you wouldn’t be alive today!”

Zhou Jifeng looked down at Luo Xingkong and said, “Luo Changfeng nurtured me only to improve his own cultivation base. Tell me… he killed my parents and humiliated my family, what should I do about that?” His tone was calm, but it was laced with thick Primal Qi, causing his voice to resound in the surroundings.

Upon hearing this, the onlookers broke out in a commotion again. Luo Changfeng was the poster boy of the Noble Path. They were, naturally, shocked to learn that Luo Changfeng had done such a thing. Moreover, it was widely known that Zhou Jifeng was one of Luo Changfeng’s prized disciples. They found this rather hard to believe.

“Lies! My son had always acted righteously and without guilt. How dare you slander him now that you’ve joined the Evil Sky Pavilion?” Luo Xingkong said.

Zhou Jifeng had expected that people would not believe him so he was not surprised. He spoke with a clear voice, “My real surname is Jiang. I’m from the Jiang family in the Yi province…”

“Jiang family? Yi province’s Jiang family? That family had produced cultivation geniuses generation after generation…” someone said in surprise.

“Zhou Jifeng is from the Jiang family? How… How do we know he’s telling the truth?”

Zhou Jifeng continued to say, “I have the special mark of the Jiang family on my body… My cultivation style was compatible with Luo Changfeng. The Nascent Divinity Tribulation realm is divided into three stages; the Dao Primal, the Chaotic Primal, and the Combined Dao. The Combined Dao stage was the only one where two can be merged as one…’ At this moment, the sword on his back buzzed and vibrated. The sword moved and spun in the air. It drew several shadows in the air and eventually merged into one.

“That’s Luo Changfeng’s sword skill… Nobody in the Heavenly Sword Sect mastered it but Zhou Jifeng.”

Zhou Jifeng’s sword fell on him. Thousands of sword shadows revolved around him. It could be seen that his control over the sword was precise. His clothes were shredded by this move.

The onlookers exclaimed in surprise again.

The move did not seem powerful, but it was rare for someone to have such fine control over a sword. There was no doubt this sword that moved like the wind and the willow was Luo Changfeng’s style. Zhou Jifeng turned around and showed his back to everyone. Everyone saw the unmistakable delicate mark on the back of his shoulder.

There were people in the crowd who recognized the mark immediately.

“Indeed, that’s the unique mark of the Jiang family… The Jiang family would brand this mark on their members’ backs. It looks just like a birthmark. There’s no mistaking it!”

“The Jiang family was tragically annihilated 30 years ago. Rumor has it that the culprit is an elite swordsman…”

Zhou Jifeng looked around himself and said in a clear voice, “The one who killed my family isn’t the Evil Sky Pavilion, but the so-called Noble Path’s Heavenly Sword Sect’s Luo Changfeng!” He said this with raw emotions as he pointed at the Heavenly Sword Sect.

It was one thing for a few people to agree with it. However, once this was confirmed by several groups of people, even the people who were skeptical were convinced of the veracity of Zhou Jifeng’s words…

“Ptooey! The Heavenly Sword Sect is despicable!”

“Ptooey!”

“They say they’re on the Noble Path, and yet, they commit such acts that would incur the wrath of gods and men alike!”

Many onlookers who felt indignant voiced out their opinions as spittle flew everywhere.

A huge public commotion could drown out many things. Once the crowd began to curse, they sounded much worse than the contents of the 13 letters of challenge. “Luo Xingkong, I feel ashamed on your behalf for having such a shameless son… If I were you, I would kill myself somewhere where no one would find me!”

“…” (Skipping through 10,000 words of insults.)

How concerned was Luo Xingkong with his reputation? He was not one to tolerate even the smallest blemish to his name. He would not allow the sect’s reputation to be tarnished as well. How could he endure the verbal abuse from the crowd?

“You… you…” Luo Xingkong glared at Zhou Jifeng and staggered a few steps back. He was infuriated to the point of throwing up blood. “Sect master!” Two disciples rushed forward and supported Luo Xingkong.

Even then, the crowd did not relent with their insults. Instead, they only laughed at Luo Xingkong

“Serves him right! He deserves it!”

Luo Xingkong felt dizzy from listening to all the insults.

Mingshi Yin said with a smile, “The old geezer has sustained internal injuries…”

It seemed like Luo Xingkong did not have long to live. No wonder he was in such a hurry to exact revenge.

Zhou Jifeng regarded Luo Xingkong coldly. He pointed at Luo Xingkong as he said, “I didn’t get to kill Luo Changfeng with my own hands to exact revenge so I’ll kill you in his place!” His sword danced and shot out dozens of neatly-arranged energy blades at Luo Xingkong

Luo Xingkong lifted his arms. The two disciples staggered backward. As the saying went, ‘Even a scrawny camel is larger than a horse’. Although Luo Xingkong had sustained internal injuries, he was not someone Zhou Jifeng, who was in the Divine Court realm, could easily deal with. He spread his arms and a wave of energy dispersed the energy blades.

Whizz!

An avatar appeared before Zhou Jifeng and blocked all of Luo Xingkong’s attacks.

Mingshi Yin appeared in the air and said with a smile, “I’m your opponent…”

“You think you can stop me?” Luo Xingkong was furious.

Mingshi clicked his tongue and taunted Luo Xingkong with a finger as he said, “They’re right. You’re really shameless.”

Luo Xingkong turned to look at Lu Zhou. He said icily, “You killed my son. It’s only fair that I kill one of your disciples.” After saying that, he turned his attention to Mingshi Yin who was hovering in the air. He raised his right hand, and a long and thin streak of Primal Qi appeared in his hand before transforming into a sword.

“The Primal Nurturing Sword.”

“A quasi heaven-grade weapon,” someone in the crowd said.

The Primal Nurturing Sword spun a few times above Luo Xingkong’s palm. Energy blades appeared in the air and shot toward Mongshi Yin like a rain of blades.

Mingshi Yin recalled his avatar and descended to the ground.

Bam! Bam! Bam!

His Separation Hook appeared!

“You dare fight me with a One-leaf avatar?” Luo Xingkong increased the output of his energy.

Suddenly, Mingshi Yin charged through the energy blades and moved swiftly toward his opponent.

Bam!

He stabbed forward with the Separation Hook.

Luo Xingkong raised his palm and parried the blow with his energy. He retreated from the impact.

“Nice!” the crowd exclaimed in surprise.

“That was a nice close-range move!”

“As expected of a disciple from the Evil Sky Pavilion. He knows how to dodge the attack and play to his advantage.”

At this moment, Mingshi Yin had successfully gotten close to Luo Xingkong.

A heaven-grade weapon was no joke. Luo Xingkong stumbled a few steps backward before he finally managed to stabilize himself.

Mingshi Yin stood in his spot and smiled. “Who told you I only have one leaf?”

Luo Xingkong frowned. “So what if you have two leaves?”

“Who told you I only have two leaves?” Mingshi Yin retorted with a smile.

The onlookers were shocked.

At this moment, Mingshi Yin looked down at his feet. A green circle could be seen shining on the ground.

“It’s the Buddhist Bright Mirror again!”

“There’s a Buddhist elite nearby!”

If the Bright Mirror was used as a Formation, it had to be set up beforehand and could only be used once. If they wanted to use it again, they would need the help of a Buddhist elite. It seemed like the Heavenly Sword Sect had help. Was this person the source of Heavenly Sword Sect’s confidence?

Meanwhile, the radiant circle on the ground expanded and covered Luo Xingkong as well. At the same time, behind Luo Xingkong, ten individuals flew over.

“People make mistakes. We should forgive whenever possible.”
