Chapter 65: 065 Ding Hua Mountain_1
Is this still my Hua Mountain Sect?
Gazing at the chaotic scene before him, Zong Gui held the Golden Rosy Cloud Sword, his eyes vacant as if he had aged over a decade. At this rate, the Hua Mountain Sect would be erased from the martial arts world, wouldn’t it?
Why has it come to this?
What did I do wrong, why is heaven punishing me like this?
…
Duge was very fast, in just a moment, he had backstabbed more than ten people, even managing to return in time to rescue Feng Zhong.
After all,
Hua Mountain’s Big Formation was completely in disarray; he could always find someone with their back towards him.
With his Rear Eye overseeing the entire battlefield, once he spotted Feng Zhong in danger, he could just pick anyone to backstab and come to Feng Zhong’s aid.
Duge was like a black lightning bolt, zipping through the crowd, appearing and disappearing, leaving someone fallen each time he stopped.
“For those sober members of the Hua Mountain Sect, what are you dawdling for? Rescue people, quickly carry the wounded to the side. Do you really want to see them trampled to death? You can’t participate in this battle. Preserve your useful lives for more meaningful things,” Duge took a brief pause to shout orders at the bewildered Hua Mountain disciples, not forgetting to advertise, “The Peacekeeping Gang is a righteous gang. No matter what, we always put life first.”
Upon these words, the verdict was clear.
No matter what Feng Qi’s true intentions were, from beginning to end, he was passively responding to the conflict provoked by the Hua Mountain Sect…
That’s right.
The war was initiated by the Hua Mountain Sect.
Feng Qi and his party came to the mountain to discuss joining the Peacekeeping Alliance with the Hua Mountain Sect. Moreover, he had seen through Hua Mountain Sect’s scheme against him, was ready to descend the mountain, and even pointed out that Hua Mountain Sect was hiding the Heavenly Demon, giving the Sect Leader a chance to rectify mistakes…
It was their own Sect Leader.
It was he who rashly agitated and escalated the situation, leading to such a tragic outcome.
Feng Qi didn’t provoke you. He wanted to rid the martial arts world of the Heavenly Demon, to maintain peace for the common folk. Why did you insist on going after him?
Moreover, Duge was calling for the rescue of his own enemies, while your Sect Leader was out there slaying demons…
Comparing the two…
The sober disciples of the Hua Mountain Sect began to reflect.
After rerunning the events in their minds, many began to lay down their weapons, silently carrying their injured brothers to safety.
With someone leading, those left had even less desire to fight.
They retreated to the side, coldly observing the situation unfold.

In a short while, the once crowded Hua Mountain plaza cleared out considerably.
Only two groups remained, centered on Wang San, running around the plaza, crying and laughing, shouting and calling out…
Zong Gui mechanically swung his longsword, confronting Duge. He saw the scene on the field and wanted to call his disciples back into the fray, but he couldn’t bring himself to speak.
Not to mention whether the disciples of the Hua Mountain Sect would still listen to him, he truly didn’t know who to tell the Hua Mountain Sect disciples to attack.
Feng Qi?
Although most of the injuries were caused by Feng Qi, he only injured and did not kill, and he was calling to save those from Hua Mountain. To be such a magnanimous enemy, it’s unlikely that many would want to lay a hand on him!
Gao Hongqiao?
Gao Hongqiao, on the surface, was still a Hua Mountain disciple, helping to confront Feng Qi!
This is just great!
Zong Gui felt incredibly frustrated. He couldn’t fathom how the situation had developed into this mess!
It was not at all like the martial arts world.
If he had known it would come to this, he might as well have happily joined the Peacekeeping Alliance in the first place…
…
Seeing more and more people lay down their weapons, Duge glanced at Zong Gui and reassured, “Do not worry. If Hua Mountain Sect cannot accommodate you, join the Peacekeeping Gang, which will forever be your shield.”
The number of people coerced by Gao Hongqiao wasn’t large, and Duge’s backstabs were fierce and fast. In no time, there were hardly any left chasing him.
Out of the corner of his eye, Tan Hongsheng caught a glimpse of the scene beside him and, not wanting to be inexplicably stabbed in the back by Duge, made a bold decision: “Gentlemen, whose swordsmanship is better than mine? See how I perform the Phoenix Rite…”
At the moment the skill of the internal strife expert was activated, everyone around him was forced to a halt, as if by mutual consent they picked up their swords and started practicing the Hua Mountain swordplay with precision and form.
Duge, Wang San, Feng Zhong, Zong Gui, all were forced to interrupt their current actions, getting drawn in, wielding their swords and going through the motions in a methodical manner.
The disciples who were injured and hadn’t been carried away from the ground also struggled to get up and practice their swordsmanship, unwilling to fall behind.
From movement to stillness, the artistic style suddenly changed.
Duge’s face turned dark.
Fuck.
Are these frickin’ masters of overachievement?
If you practice martial arts, others also need to practice martial arts, and everyone just bloody follows you and overachieves!
If you want to eat shit, do others have to compete with you for it too?
This skill is even more unreasonable than Gluttony!
Alright, these guys’ skills are all pretty unreasonable, compared to them, my Sacrifice Oneself for Justice is just too gentle.
If it weren’t for me starting early and progressing fiercely, I would definitely not be a match for these freaks…
This guy can’t be left alive.
“Sect Leader Zong, after the sword practice is over, quickly kill Feng Qi. The Hua Mountain Sect disciples can go to the Peacekeeping Gang, can you?” Tan Hongsheng, also affected by the Fear of the Delicate, pleaded with Zong Gui after he managed to pull himself together from a skill that was supposedly fatal, not daring to even look at Wang San, shaking as he tried to sow discord.
You’ve got the nerve to criticize me?
You con artist!
Zong Gui glared at Tan Hongsheng, who would have been stabbed to death by him if his sword could actually strike out.
At least there was a proper fight with Feng Qi, but now what? The dignified Sect Leader of Hua Mountain, practicing basic Hua Mountain swordsmanship with a group of people?
Duge spoke before Zong Gui could, “Why can’t I go? The Peacekeeping Gang isn’t suffering any losses, it’s the Hua Mountain Sect that is. My purpose is to eradicate you Heavenly Demons. If we can accept Hua Mountain Sect disciples, we can accept Sect Leader Zong.”
“Sect Leader, if you go to the Peacekeeping Gang, Hua Mountain Sect will be gone!” Tan Hongsheng protested unwillingly.
“It’s only a defensive alliance, not a merger into the Peacekeeping Gang. What nonsense are you spouting?” Feng Zhong said, “Sect Master Zong, you’re trusting this Heavenly Demon who’s up to no good. He’s clearly trying to corner you and Hua Mountain Sect. Think about it, haven’t they been misleading you all this time?”
As soon as the Tongue of Right and Wrong spoke, Zong Gui immediately cast a suspicious look at Tan Hongsheng, feeling more and more that something was off.
Damn it!
Seeing the look in Zong Gui’s eyes, Tan Hongsheng’s heart sank, knowing that all his plans had fallen through. The cooperation among Duge’s trio was too in sync, not something that him and Gao Hongqiao, who had been struggling for over ten days, could exploit.
He took a deep breath, “Feng Qi, do I have a chance to join the Peacekeeping Gang? My keyword is competition; I can stir up all those who don’t obey in the Peacekeeping Gang. You want to maintain peace in the world, right? Let me take the lead. No one will hold back…”
I’m afraid you’ll stir them up to compete in backstabbing me. The bait of the top ten in the simulation is too tempting, tempting enough to make anyone take a desperate risk.
The jianghu is already in chaos, I don’t have the time to train you little scramblers anymore!
Compared to you, the natives are so much easier to control, both naive and innocent…
“Dishonest and treacherous, you have not only harmed the Hua Mountain Sect but also want to harm my Peacekeeping Gang?” Duge glared at him and rebuked, “Sect Master Zong, now you see the harm of the Heavenly Demons. One confuses the mind, the other confuses actions. They can’t possibly be controlled. Let’s join forces to eliminate the Heavenly Demons and call off the fight. Hua Mountain Sect cannot withstand more casualties.”
Feng Qi ceaselessly shifted the blame to the Heavenly Demons, giving him an excuse to back down. How could Zong Gui fail to understand? After pondering for a moment and looking around at the numb faces of the surrounding disciples, he sighed and said, “Sect Leader Feng, I was misled by the Heavenly Demon earlier and made such foolish acts. Hua Mountain Sect is willing to join the Peacekeeping Alliance and follow the Gang Leader to eliminate the Heavenly Demons.”
The last hope stripped away, Tan Hongsheng’s face changed, unable to restrain himself, he cursed, “Zong Gui, who has misled you? It was clearly you who wanted to deal with Feng Qi. You idiot, you have no idea what you are facing. Think about Tong Shihong? If you cooperate with Feng Qi, I’m afraid you’ll be devoured to the bones.”
He turned to Gao Hongqiao, “Hongqiao, I have no chance to escape. I’ll create an opportunity for you. Charge out and jump off the back cliff. If you survive, go contact others and spread the skills of Feng Qi’s trio. Even if I die, I can’t let them off…”
“Okay!” Gao Hongsheng, being closest to Wang San, was terrified too since he didn’t have the boost from Fearless. He didn’t even dare to open his eyes and just thought of fleeing as fast as possible. Hearing the plan, he readily agreed, “I will kill Feng Qi and avenge you.”
As it turned out.
They were thinking too optimistically, not securing Zong Gui had already sealed their fate.
The sword practice ended, and before Tan Hongsheng could initiate another competition, he was pierced through the throat by Duge’s sword and then stabbed in the heart by Zong Gui, exiting the simulation with a face full of unwillingness.
With the death of Tan Hongsheng, Gao Hongqiao had even less chance to live.
His attributes were too low, and even with ten times his attributes boosted by Fearless, he couldn’t match Duge’s speed.
After all, the Backstab skill scaled proportionally with attributes.
Duge already had high attributes and kept getting stronger throughout the battle at Hua Mountain with maintenance and backstabs. His attributes never stopped growing and had already broken through the sky.
Even with “Fearless” on his side, Gao Hongqiao only ran about seven or eight meters before Duge caught up with him, pierced his heart with a sword, and followed Tan Hongsheng to his downfall.
Duge’s attributes increased once again.
This time, he finally confirmed that the attribute increase from killing a player was calculated separately from the keyword effect. Killing a player indeed provided an extra attribute bonus.
Excellent competition mechanism!
