Simultaneous Transmigration: The Re-merging of 99 Selves

Chapter 106 The End of Dongfang Bubai

Zhao Yu slowly said, "My challenge to you this time is indeed related to her, but you have wronged her. Ren Yingying is called the Holy Maiden, but in reality, she can't do much, let alone find out your thoughts."

Dongfang Bubai frowned, as if he wanted to say something more.

Before he could speak, Yang Lianting had already started to angrily rebuke Dongfang Bubai.

"You used to boast to me that you were invincible, how come you can't even handle a mere brat today?"

The anger on Dongfang Bubai's face immediately faded, replaced by a trace of fear: "Brother Lian, I... I have done my best, but his martial arts are indeed very advanced."

"So what?"

Yang Lianting rudely interrupted him: "Although I can't see clearly, I understand that your speed is far superior to his. Whether it's war or peace, you are in control. Don't worry about me, just retreat first, and let's see if this kid dares to touch me."

"Brother Lian, I..."

Dongfang Bubai hesitated for a moment.

He looked at Yang Lianting, his eyes filled with struggle.

Zhao Yu inwardly cried out in alarm.

He hadn't expected that Yang Lianting, though a male concubine, actually had some genuine feelings for Dongfang Bubai.

If he were to actually persuade Dongfang Bubai, all his previous efforts would be in vain.

Before Dongfang Bubai could make a decision, Zhao Yu raised his hand and struck with a palm.

A gentle palm strike sent Yang Lianting flying, landing right in front of the Five Mountains Sword Sect members who had come to chase after him.

"Miss Yue, please keep an eye on him for me, don't let him get away." Zhao Yu's voice came from afar.

Yue Lingshan was stunned for a moment before she realized what was happening. She quickly drew her long sword from her waist and placed it against Yang Lianting's neck.

"Brother Lian!"

Dongfang Bubai let out a mournful cry and moved to rush over to save the person.

"Your opponent is me."

Zhao Yu stood in front of him.

"Get out of here!"

Frustrated, Dongfang Bubai flicked his sleeve, and several silver needles shot out like a rainstorm.

His mind was in complete disarray, and his movements were no longer as composed and precise as before.

Zhao Yu neither dodged nor evaded, but instead unleashed both palms, blocking all the silver needles.

Zhao Yu said calmly, "Being distracted is a major taboo. In your current state, you can't save anyone at all."

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Yu launched an attack.

Dongfang Bubai barely mustered his strength and, relying on his incredible speed, weaved through Zhao Yu's palm strikes.

But half of his thoughts were on Yang Lianting.

His moves were riddled with flaws.

In just a short while, he found himself in grave danger, with several palm prints already covering his body.

Just as the two were locked in fierce combat, several people suddenly stepped out from the Five Mountains Sword Sect's ranks.

Ding Mian, Lu Bai, and Fei Bin emerged from the shadows at some point and went straight to Yue Lingshan, immediately issuing orders.

"Niece, hand Yang Lianting over to us," Ding Mian said in a deep voice.

Yue Lingshan subconsciously took a step back, gripping her long sword tightly: "On what grounds? This is the person Brother Zhao arrested."

Ding Mianyi said sternly, "Yang Lianting is the Grand Steward of the Demonic Sect, who has committed numerous evils and is extremely wicked. We have come here on the orders of the Left Alliance Leader to arrest this demonic figure. This person is of great importance and must be handed over to our Songshan Sect for disposal."

Yue Buqun stepped forward and stood in front of Yue Lingshan.

"Brother Ding, you are mistaken. This Steward Yang was captured by Young Hero Zhao himself. How could our Five Mountains Sword Sect overstep our bounds and steal his credit?"

When Ding Mian saw Yue Buqun blocking him, he immediately gave Fei Bin a wink.

Fei Bin immediately stepped forward, took out a five-colored command flag from his pocket, and raised it high.

"The Five Mountains Alliance Leader's command flag is here! Where the flag is, it signifies the arrival of the Left Alliance Leader!"

Fei Bin said loudly, "Our Five Mountains Sword Sect is united in our resistance against the Demonic Sect, which is a matter of great righteousness in the martial world. Since that young hero Zhao is an enemy of the Demonic Sect, he is naturally a member of the righteous path of our martial world. I'm sure he won't blame us for dealing with this demonic cultist on his behalf."

The Five Mountains Sword Sect had been locked in a standoff with the Demonic Sect for many years, but they had never captured a figure of Yang Lianting's caliber. So when they saw their opportunity, they could no longer hide it.

If we could extract the secrets of the Demonic Sect from Yang Lianting, who is the Grand Steward of the Sun Moon Sect, it would be of great benefit to the Five Mountains Sword Sect, especially the Songshan Sect.

Although they considered themselves no match for Zhao Yu, they considered themselves the leaders of the righteous path in the martial arts world, and Zhao Yu probably wouldn't want to turn against them for the sake of a prisoner.

Otherwise, how will Zhao Yu establish himself as a righteous figure in the martial arts world in the future?

Seeing them bring out their command flags, Yue Buqun stepped aside, saying, "Lingshan, hand the person over to Brother Ding."

His obstruction was merely for show; he wouldn't openly confront Songshan until the time was right.

If even the traitors in Mount Hua could endure it for so many years, what about now?

Moreover, it might even sow discord between Zhao Yu and the Songshan Sect, so Yue Buqun certainly wouldn't do his best to stop it.

But at this moment, Yue Lingshan became stubborn: "No, this is the person Brother Zhao arrested. Your Songshan Sect didn't do anything, so why should you take him?"

Linghu Chong added in a high-pitched voice, "We didn't see you show your faces before, but now that the Demonic Sect leader has been defeated, you suddenly come out to reap the benefits. Where were you all before?"

Ding Mian said with a forced smile, "Sect Leader Yue has indeed taught a good disciple."

Yue Buqun looked at the battle ahead, his face expressionless.

"I am ashamed, I am ashamed."

Seeing this, Ding Mian stopped pressing him.

"Since that's the case, we don't need the man anymore. We just want to borrow this Steward Yang to distract Dongfang Bubai. That way, we can help Young Hero Zhao get rid of this devil as soon as possible. What do you say?"

Ding Mian's eyes flickered; of course, he wasn't that kind of person.

However, even if one man fights desperately, ten men cannot withstand him.

If this is true for ordinary people, then it's even more true for martial arts masters like Dongfang Bubai.

Given his affection for Yang Lianting, if he were to see Yang Lianting being tortured, he would certainly spare no effort to save him, which might result in a mutual destruction between him and Zhao Yu.

When that time comes, they can take down the two of them, and Zuo Lengchan's future will be free of two major troubles.

Yue Lingshan had no idea there were so many twists and turns.

She looked up at the two people locked in fierce combat, a look of worry on her face.

Although Zhao Yu had the upper hand, Dongfang Bubai was, after all, the number one in the world, so it would be good if he could lend a hand.

She hesitated for a moment, then nodded: "Alright. But we can't kill him. We have to return him to Brother Zhao after he wins the fight."

"Don't worry, my niece." Ding Mian smiled slightly. "I know what I'm doing."

Immediately, Ding Mian drew his sword and slashed Yang Lianting's thigh without hesitation.

However, to everyone's surprise, Yang Lianting bit her lower lip tightly and managed to hold back from crying out.

Ding Mian's facial muscles twitched, and he struck Yang Lianting's other leg with another sword strike.

"Let's see how long you can hold out!"

Yang Lianting was sweating profusely, and his lips were even bitten until they bled, but he still didn't make a sound.

He would rather die than interfere with Dongfang Bubai.

Ding Mian was somewhat exasperated, one sword, two swords, three swords...

Soon, Yang Lianting's clothes were soaked with blood.

Suddenly, Zhao Yu's voice rang out softly behind Ding Mian: "What do you intend to do to my prisoner?"
