Chapter 90: Mu Gaofeng's Unyielding Death
"Dad, Mom!"
A loud and urgent cry came from outside the house.
"It's Pingzi, my son Pingzi is here!"
Lin Zhennan, who was talking to Linghu Chong, heard the shout and suddenly felt a thrill of excitement.
"Boom!"
A young man in a green robe suddenly rushed in, saw Lin Zhen Nan and his wife leaning against the wall corner, and rushed over to them. With tears in his eyes, he choked and said: "Dad, mom, I'm useless, let you suffer."
Linghu Chong was very considerate and stood up to make way for them, allowing Lin's father and son to have a conversation.
"Lin Ping, are you injured? Those beasts from Qingcheng Sect didn't do anything to you, did they?" Lin Zhen Nan hastily asked Lin Ping, now that his own limbs were crippled and he had become a useless person, the Lin family would have to rely on Lin Ping from now on.
"The child has met a famous teacher, and with the blessing of his family, that dog thief Yu Canghai no longer dares to mess with our Lin family..." Lin Pingzhi said, suddenly discovering Lin Zhennan's couple's serious injuries, and exclaimed: "Dad, your hand..."
Lin Zhen Nan waved his hand, not minding his own injuries, and said with emotion: "No big deal, thanks to this Lord Huashan's help in pulling out the knife, I managed to keep my life. Ping, quickly kowtow to our benefactor."
Lin Ping knelt down abruptly in front of Linghu Chong, knocking his head three times with great force, and said tearfully: "Thank you, sir, for saving my father's and mother's lives. I am deeply grateful and will never forget it. If there is anything I can do for you in the future, I will brave boiling water and walk through fire, even if it means certain death."
"Brother Lin, please get up quickly and punish the evil. Upholding justice is what we disciples of Huashan Sect should do. You mustn't take it as a great favor." Linghu Chong hurriedly helped Lin Pingzhi up and said sincerely: "Moreover, the Lin family has a deep connection with our Huashan Sect. How could I, Linghu Chong, stand by and watch you die?"
Lin Ping's face was filled with gratitude. If it weren't for Linghu Chong's rescue, he would probably have been separated from his parents forever. Upon hearing that Linghu Chong claimed to be a disciple of the Hua Shan Sect, he suddenly remembered that Yue Lingshan and Lu Dahu had often mentioned on their journey that their senior brother was Linghu Chong, the great disciple of Yue Buqun.
"Are you Master Linghu Chong? Master is above, please accept the bow of his junior brother Lin Pingzi." Lin Pingzi bowed down to the ground again.
Linghu Chong hastily helped him up, thinking to himself that it seemed Old Yue had already accepted Lin Pingzhi as his disciple, but why did only Lin Pingzhi come to rescue him?
Just then, Yue Buqun appeared before him with Yue Lingshan and a group of Huashan School disciples, saying: "Chong'er, Ping's parents are unharmed. Yesterday, I accepted Ping into the school as your junior brother. From now on, you must often guide and teach him."
"Master, rest assured that Lin's couple is no longer in danger of losing their lives. However, they were severely tortured by the evil Mu Gaofeng and suffered heavy injuries. They should return to Mount Hua as soon as possible for proper care." Linghu Chong said to Yue Buqun.
"Mu Gaofeng, I, Lin Pingzhi, swear to heaven that one day I will chop you into a million pieces and avenge my parents' death." Seeing the miserable state of Lin Zhennan and his wife, Lin Pingzhi gritted his teeth in hatred, wishing he could devour Mu Gaofeng alive.
"Nam Gao Feng had been famous in the Jianghu for many years, but unexpectedly he was a ruthless and despicable person. By the time his disciples arrived, Lin Ping and the others had already been seriously injured by him." Linghu Chong saw the hateful expression on Lin Ping's face and said: "When dealing with such an evil person, I didn't show any mercy at all, and have already crippled his martial arts and thrown him out of the house. Let's just leave it to Lin Shidi to handle now."
"What? That guy lying half-dead on the ground outside is Mugō no Taku?"
Everyone was shocked and lost their color, especially Lin Pingzhi. He had followed Mu Gaofeng for a period of time and had a deep understanding of the old camel's powerful martial arts. Even his arch-nemesis, Yu Canghai, the master of Qingcheng Sect, couldn't defeat him in a one-on-one fight.
Such a powerful master was actually crippled by Linghu Chong and thrown away like trash outside the house, while Linghu Chong looked effortless and unscathed. The shock was enormous. If it were Yue Buqun who did it, he could still bear it, after all, Yue Buqun was a super master in his heart.
Now, his fellow senior master Linghu Chong can also easily defeat the top-notch expert Muke Gao Feng. It seems that the martial arts of Huashan School are indeed profound and immeasurable. I, Lin Pingzhi, have finally had a great stroke of luck and joined an extraordinary school.
"Master, I have an irreconcilable feud with that Wood High Peak. I hope Master will hand him over to me for disposal. I want to personally kill this beast and avenge my parents." Lin Pingzhi begged of Yue Buqun.
"Of all the virtues, filial piety is the first. Since that's the case, I'll go along with you this time. But remember, a martial artist must not let hatred cloud their judgment, or they will stray from the right path and never reach the ultimate level of martial arts." Yue Buqun cautioned deeply.
Lin Pingzhi nodded in response, stood up and walked out of the house, came to Mu Gaofeng's side, and scolded: "Mu Gaofeng, you beast! I respected you as an elder, granted you a vast fortune from my Lin family, but you humiliated and tortured my parents. Today, I, Lin Pingzhi, will cut you into a thousand pieces to avenge my parents."
Mù Gāo Fēng ignored Lín Píng Zhī's threat and instead scolded Lǐng Hú Chōng who was following behind him: "Lǐng Hú Chōng, you despicable person! You're a renowned master of the generation, yet you're so unscrupulous and unreliable. Don't you fear the backlash of your own evil deeds? Don't you want to die a good death?"
"You old camel, how dare you speak like that? I've always been a man of my word, if I say I'll spare your life, I won't kill you. Am I going to kill you now? As for your grudges with others, that's none of my business. If Lin Shi wants to kill you, it has nothing to do with me, and it's not within the scope of our agreement." Linghu Cong said with a light expression, his mouth slightly curled up, speaking casually to Mu Gaofeng.
"You, you despicable scoundrel, may you not die a good death! Ah——"
Mu Gaofeng's loud curses suddenly stopped, it turned out that Lin Pingzhi had long been impatient, he hastily stabbed his sharp sword into Mu Gaofeng's chest, splitting open Mu Gaofeng's belly and cutting off his head.
Mu Gaofeng's eyes were wide open like a dead fish, he simply couldn't close his eyes. His old camel back martial arts skills were unparalleled, and he had fought his way through the northwest without meeting a worthy opponent. But today, his lifelong reputation was ruined in an instant, and he died at the hands of a nobody.
Muke Feng was furious in his heart. He had been doing well outside the pass, but he ran back to China for no reason and didn't get the divine manual of martial arts. Instead, he almost lost his life. What made him even more resentful was that he could have retreated safely, but Linghu Chong spared his life and told him to scram. But he had a loose tongue and followed the usual practice of Jianghu people, speaking harsh words to Linghu Chong, the jinx.
Unexpectedly, just a few words of nonsense thoroughly irritated Linghu Chong. This kid didn't play by the rules at all, directly striking with vicious intent and crippling his martial arts skills, breaking his limbs and leaving him not only to surrender his most precious treasure but also to die miserably at the hands of Lin Pingzhi, a minor character he had never even taken seriously.
Heavens are blind! If there's still an afterlife, I, old camel back, will never speak any nonsense again. Can't win a fight? Hurry up and run away! Losing a battle but still talking big to the winner is the most foolish thing to do. Unfortunately, old camel back understood this too late and paid with his life.
