Chapter 52: Taishan's Supreme Treasure, Tian Song Dao Ren
"Come on, Tian Boguang! Today you and I will have a good fight!" Linghu Chong slapped the table, stood up suddenly and shouted.
Yi Lin hastily got up and leaned against Linghu Chong's side, although her own strength was weak, she also wanted to contribute a bit of power for the person who had saved her life.
Tian Boguang's martial arts skills are profound and unfathomable, in no way inferior to his master Ding Yitian. Tian Boguang acts recklessly and without restraint, and after capturing her, he even parades her around, flaunting his catch. In recent days, many "righteous heroes" who claim to be exorcists have come to rescue her, but unfortunately, they are no match for Tian Boguang's strength and are all beaten to death like dogs. If she hadn't begged for mercy, she would likely have been killed without a doubt.
Linghu Chong and she were both disciples of the Hua Shan Sword Sect, and he was also her benefactor who had saved her life. She naturally did not want Tian Boguang to harm him. However, Yilin underestimated Linghu Chong too much. With his current martial arts skills, it's likely that no one in the world could defeat him. Unfortunately, he still had a small ancestor in his dantian, which would absorb a large amount of his pure energy every now and then, making him unable to use his internal strength true yuan for the time being. Fortunately, he had mastered the unparalleled swordsmanship "Dugu Jiujian" and the unparalleled protective skill "Longxiang Panruo Gong", so he could still laugh at the world with disdain.
Xiao Nigou Yilin's expression was tense, but Linghu Chong and Tian Boguang were extremely calm. Especially Tian Boguang, who even raised his wine cup and slowly took a sip. As one of the few top masters in Jianghu, his intuition told him that Linghu Chong had no intention to kill him. Since so, why be so tense?
Just as he was about to tease the young nun Iori, a middle-aged man wearing a blue Taoist robe stormed up to the second floor, looked around and shouted loudly: "Who is the lecherous Tanba no Mitsuyoshi!"
Linghu Chong and Yilin heard this, and in perfect sync, they pointed their fingers at Tian Boguang, who was just about to take a drink from his cup.
Tian Boguang showed a hint of surprise, downing the wine in his cup in one gulp. He smoothed out his hair with his right hand and shook his head, saying: "You can also call me handsome and elegant, like a jade tree swaying gently in the wind - Little Tian!"
"Disciple of Mount Hua, Linghu Chong has met Heavenly Pine Master Uncle, Master Uncle is being polite!" Linghu Chong turned his head to take a look and surprisingly it was an acquaintance, the junior master of the Tai Shan sect's leader Tianmen Daochang - Tian Song Daochang.
This Taoist priest was a straightforward and stubborn man who didn't know how to compromise, always taking it upon himself to rid the world of evil and protect the righteous way. Upon hearing that Tian Boguang, the most notorious debauchee in Jianghu, was drinking and having fun at Huiyan Tower, and had even injured several young heroes including a few junior disciples from Mount Tai Sect on his way there, he rushed to Huiyan Tower without even eating dinner, eager to settle scores with Tian Boguang.
"Linghu Cong, you're the eldest disciple of Mount Hua Sect, yet you're having a drink with this depraved scoundrel? You've disgraced our Five Mountains Sword Sect! Get out of my way, I'll kill this scoundrel first and then deal with you!" Tian Song Dao Ren charged at Tian Boguang with his long sword.
"Evil thief Tanbaro, today I, Tenson Dori, will carry out justice on behalf of heaven and rid the world of a great evil."
Tian Boguang naturally wouldn't wait for death, drawing out the uniquely styled short knife from his waist and directly using his signature skill Whirlwind Short Knife Eighteen Styles to fight against Tiansong Daoist.
Linghu Chong grasped Xiang'er's small hand and flashed to the side, watching from a distance without any intention of intervening.
Yi Lin's small hand was grasped by Linghu Chong's large hand, and she felt a sudden tremble in her heart, her face turning red as she hastily withdrew her hand. She looked at the two people fighting and softly asked Linghu Chong: "Linghu Shixiong, can Tian Song Shu defeat Tian Boguang?"
"Hmm, Tian Song Shibo's Tai Shan swordsmanship 'Seven Stars Falling from the Sky' is quite good, but Tian Boguang's Whirlwind Knife technique is even more vicious. If they continue to fight to the death, within thirty moves, Tian Song Shibo will definitely be defeated and killed." Linghu Chong's eyes were sharp and piercing, and with one glance, he saw through the strengths and weaknesses of both men.
"What to do? Brother Linghu, you must think of a way to save Shifu Tiansong, or he will die." The little nun Yilin, being kind-hearted, anxiously said to Linghu Chong.
Linghu Chong nodded to her, then picked up the heavy Xuan Tie sword and said to Tian Songzi who was in a tough battle: "Tian Songzi, Tian Boguang's martial arts are powerful, I'm afraid one person can't defeat him. Let me help you with this."
"Scram, Linghu Chong you good-for-nothing! You and that lecherous Tian Boguang are birds of a feather, yet you still dare to put on airs in front of me. I don't need your help." Tiansong Daoren's face turned bright red, it seemed like he was about to burst, but he still stubbornly insisted.
"Alas, some people are just beyond help!" Linghu Chong shook his head in frustration and shrugged at Shi Nian, the little nun. It wasn't that he was unwilling to save him, but rather that Tian Song, the Taoist priest, was too confident in his own martial arts abilities and refused Linghu's offer of assistance.
"In that case, Brother Tian, you can go ahead!"
"Niú bí zi, Líng Hǔ Chōng zhè xiǎo zǐ bù bāng nǐ, nǐ sǐ dìngle!"
Translation: "You're finished! If Linghu Chong doesn't help you, you're dead for sure!"
Tian Boguang was still worried that Lin Feng would intervene, but after the last battle, he knew that this kid was extremely difficult to deal with and had a strong resistance to attacks. If he were to join forces with Tian Song Dao Ren, the outcome would be hard to predict. Fortunately, Tian Song Dao Ren seemed to have had a brain fart that morning and refused Lin Feng's help. To avoid any unexpected changes, Tian Boguang used all his strength, hoping for a quick battle and to take out one of the fighters first.
"Tian Song's moves seem a bit disorganized, look at this hand and footwork all over the place, is he in urgent need of a pee? Tian brother, Tian Song is getting on in years, why not let him take a break, go to the toilet and come back to continue fighting."
"Tan Boguang's quick knife is indeed formidable, one knife hit the mark, Brother Tan you're also too much, almost cut off Tian Song Shu uncle's little chicken!"
Linghu Cong was unscrupulous and began to commentate on the martial arts performance.
Tian Song Dao Ren was already on the verge of collapse, but after being goaded by Linghu Chong's words, his face suddenly turned bright red with rage and humiliation, almost to the point of vomiting blood. His movements slowed down for a split second, allowing Tian Bo Guang to seize the opportunity and kick him to the ground.
"Hey, the famous Taishan swordsmanship 'Seven Stars Falling from the Sky' isn't that great after all!" Tian Boguang stretched his waist and said with a strange tone.
"Pffft!"
Tian Song Dao Ren suddenly spat out a large mouthful of bright red blood, not from injury, but from his own qi rushing up and causing it.
Xiao Nigou Yilin was frightened by the bright red blood on the ground, thinking that Tian Song Dao Ren had been seriously injured. She rushed forward recklessly and blocked Tian Boguang's path, exclaiming: "Don't kill him, please don't harm Master Tian Song!"
"When a woman says no, it means yes! I get it, you also dislike this bull nose, wanting me to get rid of him, right? I'll satisfy your wish."
Tian Boguang sank into thought for a moment, then suddenly pretended to have an epiphany, taking a big step forward and scaring the young nun Yilin into retreating repeatedly. He then burst out laughing and said: "Alright, I'll give you this face, let him off the hook!"
"Who's that? The Cow Nose of the Taishan Sect, consider yourself lucky today, having a little nun plead for you. Otherwise, I would have killed you. Now get out of my sight within ten breaths." Tian Boguang said disdainfully to Tiansong Dao who was lying on the ground.
After the fight, Linghu Chong sauntered over, a faint, knowing smile flickering across his face. He helped Tian Songzi up from the ground and asked warmly, "Tian Songzi, are you alright?"
"Go away, I don't need your hypocritical help, I can walk by myself!" Tian Songdao pushed Linghu Cong away and struggled to leave.
Linghu Cong was petrified for ten seconds, exchanging a stunned glance with Tian Boguang, who was equally flabbergasted. The two were at a loss for words, and Linghu couldn't help but think that the Tai Shan sect had produced such an extraordinary individual, absolutely the most unconventional in the Jiang Hu world. Indeed, it was no wonder that they were one of the Five Mountain Sword Sects, with such rich inner resources.
