Chapter 552 Betrayal

“Hahaha…” Tang Folei laughed. “I’m not stupid, I wouldn’t fight with you now. Master Han has promised that after your death, I will be the new head of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. I’m now of n.o.ble status. There is no need to fight with someone who is doomed to die!”

“You…” Li Jianyi said angrily, “Coward!”

Tang Folei just snorted coldly.

Right at this moment—

“I will kill you, you b.a.s.t.a.r.d, betrayer of the sect…!” With a roar of anger, a figure flashed out from the side and stabbed towards Tang Folei with his sword.

In Tang Folei’s eyes, a cold light flashed. Without looking at it, he waved his sword with a backhand motion.

Blood gushed out and the disciple was cut into halves.

All of a sudden, furious roars could be heard from the square.

The eyes of the disciples of Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect blazed with anger.

They couldn’t believe what they had witnessed.

The powerhouse who used to take charge of the sect’s law department and maintain the order of the sect, who was also the most impartial elder, suddenly changed and became a traitor, the greatest humiliation in the history of Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect. Many people could not accept it and felt confused…

Suddenly—

“Master, this is not true. Master, this is not true.” In the crowd, a young man, who had lost his wits, stumbled out. He stared at Tang Folei and said, “How can you be a traitor? They’re trying to frame you, aren’t they…?”

Tang Folei’s eyes landed on the young man.

Many people also recognized this young man.

His name was Liu Junqing, a law enforcement disciple of the Sentencing Hall. He was also one of Tang Folei’s many disciples.

Although Liu Junqing was not outstanding, he was diligent and earnest. He was one of Tang Folei’s loyal admirers and he nearly treated Tang Folei as his biological father. Tang Folei suddenly became a traitor to the sect, and that made him suffer a lot.

“Junqing, I just want to take back everything that belongs to me,” Tang Folei looked at the young man with slightly softer eyes and said, “Come and stand by my side. When I take charge of the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, you will definitely have your benefits…”

“No, don’t say it. I beg you, Master, I will only beg you to say one sentence.” Liu Junqing’s face was already full of tears. “Tell me you didn’t betray the sect. You are… you are joking…”

The loss of faith made Liu Junqing feel that the whole world was broken.

Tang Folei’s expression was mixed, but he shook his head gently in the end.

“Impossible…!” Liu Junqing shouted. He pulled out his long sword and put it to his neck, saying, “Master, it’s not too late to mend. I beg you… Do you want to see me die in front of you?”

The last trace of gentleness in Tang Folei’s eyes disappeared.

He whipped off the blood on the sword in his hand and said coldly, “My hand has already been stained with a lot of people’s blood. It doesn’t matter if I add you.”

“Hahaha…” Liu Junqing shook his head; he was extremely disappointed.

He was furious, anger boiling within. “You are not Tang Folei, you are not Tang Folei. Haha, you’re not him… Tang Folei, the head of the Sentencing Hall, he is such a good man that he would rather die than yield. You can’t imitate him… Tang Folei would never betray the sect. Haha, he is dead, dead… Master, I’ll join you!”

Before he had finished his words.

He cut his own throat with the long sword, and blood spurted out.

In front of nearly ten thousand disciples of the sect, Liu Junqing committed suicide by cutting his throat.

The entire world was completely silent. It seemed that the young man’s final wild laughter lingered around them.

Suddenly, another disciple rushed out of the crowd.

He looked at Tang Folei and said calmly, “Tang Folei, you taught me martial arts, so I should call you master. You used to be the one that I admired the most. Now you collude with enemy and our friends.h.i.+p ends. Still, you’re my teacher for life. Although I am ashamed to have you as my master, I can’t target my sword at you. As a disciple of Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Sect, I can’t kill you, and I am ashamed to live in this world…”

Before he finished his words.

The young man also cut his throat in front of Tang Folei.

Blood splashed out.

“Tang Folei, today, the relations.h.i.+p between you and me is severed. I, Song Shuo, a good man, shouldn’t be an ungrateful person. You taught me martial arts; I’ll repay the kindness with my life. I will seek revenge for the sect’s destruction in the next world!”

Another man rushed out of the crowd and was about to commit suicide.

With a flash, Li Jianyi suddenly showed up beside him and grabbed the long sword. He shouted loudly, “A good man should cherish himself. Death is easy. You need to live and be useful!”

“Master…” This young disciple knelt down in front of Li Jianyi and burst into tears.

Tang Folei once had a very high prestige in the whole sect. He was meticulous, self-restrained and strong. He was fair, decent, and was the idol of many disciples. Those who could become his disciples were all talents who pa.s.sed many tests in the sect. They were very loyal, who regarded Tang Folei as an idol.

But that day, the idol had changed sharply.

In such a way.

If Tang Folei had died for their sect, he would have become the eternal pride of those disciples.

Those zealous young men, even if they died alongside him in battle, they would go to their deaths bravely.

However, this most impartial person had completely betrayed the whole sect and all the disciples. For many young people, they were facing a belief crisis; their moral support had collapsed.

It was more painful than being killed.

Many disciples of the Sentencing Hall standing among the crowd were so ashamed that they could only lower their heads.

Under the light of the lamps, Tang Folei’s expressionless face could be seen.

He wasn’t the least bit moved by what was happening in front of him.

When his eyes met the cold eyes of those disciples, not a hint of guilt was in them. Instead, there was a touch of the joy of victory. He sneered and said, “You idiots, why did you have to be loyal to Li Jianyi? If anyone of you comes to a.s.sist me, you will become meritorious disciples, and soon you’ll have the chance to take charge of the Six Peaks and the Six Bases.”

“Bah!”

They responded him with curses.

“Don’t be unreasonable. Qi Qingshan is dead and no one can confront Lord Han. If you are so stubborn, blood will flow like rivers on the Swordsmans.h.i.+p-seeking Mountain tonight!” Tang Folei’s said coldly. He was determined to go all the way to achieve his purpose.

The head of Qi Qingshan was thrown in front of everyone.

“Ah, Tang Folei, you… no, Master…” w.a.n.g Juefeng who had been caught by Guan Feidu said. When saw this, he was so sad that he fainted.

“Tang Folei, you deceived your masters and killed your predecessors. You are unforgivable. Go to h.e.l.l!” Li Jianyi said. He finally couldn’t bear the killing intent in his heart anymore. With his sword, he turned into a stream of light, going straight for Tang Folei.

“Haha, haha… Your opponent is not me.” Tang Folei laughed and retreated rapidly, leaving no chance for Li Jianyi to fight at all.

The sneering and silent Han Yangjian from the Heaven-Splitting Swordsmans.h.i.+p Sect made a move.

He pulled out his sword in an instant. The red sword radiance rose up to the sky, and an extremely horrible force suddenly appeared. It was like the falling stars in the sky. The flame made the whole sect bright as daytime and looked like the milky way.

“Puff…”

The long sword in Li Jianyi’s hand broke. He spat out blood and was pushed away.

“Brother Yi…” As he exclaimed, a beautiful figure flew up to the sky; she took Li Jianyi into her arms and landed on the ground.

It was the head of the Water Sword Peak, Luo Lan.

Li Jianyi was defeated with just one attack.

The exclamations and outcries sounded one after another.

There was a complacent look on Han Yangjian’s face.

He used all his strength to attack in order to flex his muscles and frighten this group of nonent.i.ties who were acting recklessly.

“Sect leader… fight with them…”

“Haha, just go. Killing one will be good, killing two will be better…”

“It’s just death. Don’t be afraid of it. Fight…!”

Seeing this, all the disciples were excited. Not only were they not threatened, but they were also energized. Some people shouted loudly. Everyone who was surrounding the square went crazy. They were furious, especially when they saw the head was injured. They were moved to tears…

“You’re courting death. Put down your weapons and surrender. I will spare your lives if you do. If anyone dares to make a move, I will kill him!” Han Yangjian said in a cold voice, “Tang Folei, you kill them!”

“Okay.” Tang Folei nodded.

He actually launched an attack. His burly figure moved like a big bird. The long sword in his hand full of radiance was like a killing machine. Wherever he pa.s.sed, a shouting disciple of the sect was killed. He killed them mercilessly with just one attack.

“Kill this beast who dares to deceive his teachers and kill his predecessors.”

“Even if the entire sect is destroyed, we must still kill this traitor!”

“Kill the beast!”

Among the roars of anger, dozens of gray-haired elders became desperate. They came out of the crowd and flew up to the sky with the intent to attack Tang Folei.

“Haha, I call you Martial Uncles in my daily life to show respect. Do you think I’m really afraid of you? Now that you disobeyed me and you still want to be loyal to Li Jianyi, then go to h.e.l.l!”

Tang Folei laughed coldly and heartlessly. He performed his fighting skills. He was like a tiger attacking a herd of sheep.

“Ah…”

“I’ll go all out against you…”

Among these screams, four or five gray-haired elders were killed by Tang Folei’s sword one after another.

Those elders were in their declining years and no longer had the strength of their prime. They were no match for Tang Folei. In the twinkling of an eye, dozens of elders were all killed by Tang Folei!
