C905 Linghu Pengcheng
Linghu Yi had just stood up when he had already drawn his sword. Before he could make any stance, the sword in his hand flashed with a cold light. Like a dazzling bolt of lightning, he shot out as one with his body. It ruthlessly pierced through the space and arrived in front of Du Qi in an instant. He hit Du Qi's throat.
Even if the people in the hall hadn't witnessed the scene of Du Qi killing Dugu Wendao with their own eyes, they had already heard about it. They were impressed by Du Qi's martial arts and cultivation. They saw that Linghu Pengcheng actually dared to use martial arts in front of Du Qi. They couldn't help but laugh secretly. Not to mention, he was just a follower. Even if Linghu Pengcheng were to attack him personally, he wouldn't be able to get away with it.
With this thought in mind, everyone naturally wouldn't force themselves to spoil Du Qi's show of power and opportunity. Seeing this, Linghu Pengcheng thought that the people of Morality Gang wouldn't care about the conflict between him and Du Qi, because he had just found out from the disciple who led the way. Du Qi had just arrived today, and it was only when Kong Fangquan and Xie Dingtian were fighting each other that he was fated to be the gang leader. He wasn't a member of the Morality Gang.
After learning about this matter, Linghu Pengcheng couldn't help but be overjoyed, thinking that Dugu Wendao was the one asking the question. After his death... All the experts of the Morality Gang wanted to fight for the position of the Sect Master, but no one could convince them. That was why they allowed an ignorant young man to be the leader so that they could control him. In order to settle the dispute, he had come to snatch the position of the leader of the Morality Gang. How could he miss such a great opportunity? Thus, he could rest assured and ordered his subordinates to attack.
Although Linghu Pengcheng's four subordinates were young, they deeply understood the true essence of Linghu Sword. Not only were their sword techniques unique, but their internal energy was also profound. It was the important reliance for him when he came to the Morality Gang to seize the position of the leader. It was the main force for him to fight with the experts of the Morality Gang when necessary. In his imagination... As long as Linghu Yi attacked, he might be able to kill Du Qi with just one move.
Linghu Yi's sword was swift like a bolt of lightning, and it was like a bolt of lightning as it shot out a string of sharp sounds that carried a tempestuous tide, and it contained boundless force behind it as it pierced towards Du Qi from an unexpected angle.
This sword strike could be said to be the essence of Linghu Yi's sword technique. Linghu Pengcheng couldn't help but nod in praise when he saw this sword strike that deeply contained the essence of Linghu Sword. Even if it was him facing Linghu Yi's sword strike, under the circumstances that he didn't use his internal energy to forcefully block it... He could only retreat to avoid it and find a chance to counterattack.
Seeing that Linghu Yi's sword tip was less than half a foot away from Du Qi's throat, Du Qi was still sitting there motionlessly as if he was scared silly. With such a close distance, even the top experts of the Morality Gang in the palace could not easily dodge it. With Du Qi's current condition, it was inevitable that he would be defeated by Linghu Yi's sword.
Seeing this, Linghu Pengcheng couldn't help but feel secretly delighted. He originally thought that Du Qi would dare to take the position of the leader. His martial arts must not be weak, and it might take some effort to get rid of him. That was why he had ordered the Four Followers' strongest expert to take action. Now it seemed like he was overthinking it.
As long as Linghu Yi could defeat Du Qi, he would be able to suppress all the experts of the Morality Gang with the combined strength of these five men, and seize the position of the leader of the Morality Gang.
Seeing that Du Qi was about to lose, Linghu Pengcheng couldn't help but reveal a victorious smile on his face.
All of a sudden, Linghu Pengcheng shockingly discovered that Linghu Yi's people, along with the sword in their hands, were suspended in front of Du Qi like a long stick, and actually didn't move any further. The tip of Linghu Yi's sword was embedded between the middle and middle fingers of Du Qi's right hand.
After ordering Linghu Yi to attack, Linghu Pengcheng had been observing Du Qi's reaction. He did not notice any movement from Du Qi at all, but Du Qi used the middle and middle fingers of his right hand to clamp Linghu Yi's sword. It seemed like Du Qi's right hand was originally there, and Linghu Yi had gently placed the tip of the sword between Du Qi's two fingers.
Linghu Pengcheng's victorious smile suddenly froze, and then it turned into a look of shock. Before he could think about it, he suddenly heard Du Qi say coldly, "Linghu Pengcheng, let me ask you again. From today onwards... Do you represent the Linghu family, or do you represent yourself?"
After Du Qi finished speaking, Linghu Yi still maintained his original position and didn't change in the slightest, and the terror in Linghu Pengcheng's heart couldn't help but grow even more. As if he hadn't heard Du Qi's words at all, he shouted furiously. "Let him go!"
Du Qi didn't speak nor did he make any movement. He just looked at Linghu Pengcheng coldly.
Under Du Qi's gaze, Linghu Pengcheng could not help but feel scared in his heart. A chill suddenly rose up and spread throughout his entire body in an instant. He was stunned for a long time before he said with a stutter, "Is this very important?"
Du Qi sneered and said, "This concerns many lives. Do you think it is important?"
Linghu Pengcheng said in surprise, "Could it be that you are deluding yourself to kill me?"
Du Qi said coldly, "I have long spoken about the Jianghu. Anyone who wants to kill me must be prepared to be killed by me. Now that you have ordered someone to attack me, it is only natural for me to kill you. Besides, you have come to the Morality Gang to seize the position of the Sect Master for no reason. You cannot be forgiven! "
Linghu Pengcheng suddenly said in a tough tone, "Aren't you afraid that the Linghu family will take revenge on you after you kill me? Besides, whether you can kill me or not is still a question. "
Du Qi smiled lightly and said, "This is not a question that you are considering. Answer my question properly!"
Linghu Pengcheng snorted coldly and said, "What does it mean to represent the Linghu family? So what if it is my personal behavior?"
Du Qi, who was sitting on the chair, did not move at all. He just waved his left hand. With a crisp sound, he lightly slapped Hu Pengcheng's face. Then he smiled and said, "If you don't answer my question properly, I will take two teeth from you next time!"
Although Du Qi's simple palm did not use much force, it was still more than thirty feet away from Linghu Pengcheng. However, Linghu Pengcheng could not avoid it. That force also made Linghu Pengcheng's entire body tremble. He almost knocked over his seat and fell to the ground. He had seen it for such a long time. Linghu Yi still maintained his original position, and Linghu Pengcheng could not help but be shocked, but he sneered and said, "An unorthodox trick to confuse people. Don't think that people in the martial world don't know. You can kill our ambition here. Let me tell you the truth. Now the world is about to fall apart, and my Linghu family doesn't care about other people's criticism. I vow to lead all the forces in the Jianghu and create a blessed land for the people of the world!"
Du Qi couldn't help but sigh when he heard this. It seemed like ambitious people were not rare in this world. Just after killing Dugu Wendao, another Linghu family emerged. Who knew how many ambitious people were still hiding? In addition, he had a different opinion from the Heaven One Sect. It seemed that helping the Third Young Master wasn't as simple as he had imagined. Fortunately, the strength in his hands was getting stronger and stronger. As long as he was confident... There was hope of success!
Since the Linghu family had the ambition to compete for the position of the Sect Master, they could be at ease and get rid of it. Therefore, they smiled with a clear conscience and said, "In that case, you came to the Morality Gang to seize the position of the Sect Master to represent the Linghu family?"
Linghu Pengcheng actually said proudly, "That's right! If you are willing to pledge your loyalty to my Linghu family, I will let you become the Sect Master of the Morality Gang. What do you think?"
