Chapter 1424 - 1427: Joining Forces

Liu Shouyi was slightly stunned... He hadn’t expected things to unfold like this. If the person on stage were Lin Feng, challenging him like this, he would definitely go up and fight Lin Feng!

However, the woman standing on stage was Wang Bing, and Liu Shouyi felt uneasy. What the hell is going on here? This mysterious woman was already a source of dissatisfaction among many when she was appointed the third leader. Now, how is she suddenly appearing again to contest for Sect Leader, and with such formidable strength!

Nevertheless, regardless of Liu Shouyi’s thoughts, at this moment, facing Wang Bing’s provocation in front of everyone, even if he’s reluctant, he must consider the impact...

"Lord Liu, go up and teach her a lesson. This woman is too arrogant, daring to embarrass the Bai Family Master, and now she’s challenging you. It’s outrageous! Since she’s being so unwise, while she’s tired, launch a fierce attack and knock her off the stage!"

"That’s right, Lord Liu, we support you! As long as you can beat that woman, we brothers will clearly support you for Sect Leader tonight and will never go back on it! We can also help block other brothers’ challenges!"

"Go, Lord Liu! We men of the Hong Sect can’t be looked down on by a woman..."

...

Hearing these excited urgings, Liu Shouyi’s face looked even worse... It’s uncertain how many of these words are sincere, but even if everyone hopes for his victory, he doesn’t appreciate these guys at all... Purely pushing him onto the stage!

"Lord Liu, as long as you can defeat this woman, I will also support you for the position!"

At this moment, a strong male voice suddenly caught Liu Shouyi’s attention. He turned his head and saw the speaker, an imposing figure dressed in simple Tang style attire, playing with two steel balls in his hand. It was none other than the leader of the Fourth Hall, Ye Liangdao!

"Brother Ye! Why are you too..." Liu Shouyi frowned slightly, looking at Ye Liangdao with some surprise. He knew that Ye Liangdao was one of the top-ranked experts among the leaders of the Hong Sect. If Ye Liangdao put his full effort into the competition, he wouldn’t be completely without a chance at the Sect Leader’s position, so why would he voluntarily come out to support him?!

"Lord Liu, you don’t need to ask more! I’m sincere..." Ye Liangdao waved his hand and slightly squinted, speaking in a deep voice to Liu Shouyi, "Originally, the position of Sect Leader within the Hong Sect should be contended among our brothers. To be honest, whether it’s you, Lord Liu, who rises, or if Little Bai had taken the position before, I am content with it, but now... two outsiders of high strength have inexplicably appeared within the sect... To be honest, I really don’t want to see them take that position!"

Upon hearing Ye Liangdao’s words, Liu Shouyi suddenly understood Ye Liangdao’s thoughts... Indeed, in the past few months, the Hong Sect lost Bai Youxian but gained Wang Bing and Lin Feng as two new leaders. They were both air-dropped figures, and many brothers were already dissatisfied with their appointment as leaders. Now they wanted to contest for Sect Leader, and although it was in compliance with the rules, if they lose, where is the face of the veterans of the Hong Sect?!

At this time, Gong Sunyi, who stood behind Ye Liangdao, also spoke sinisterly, "A pretty boy under twenty and a woman, I can’t stand the thought of either of them ascending... Instead of passive waiting, let’s take initiative and ally, even if it means letting old Liu ascend, at least we won’t lose face!"

Liu Shouyi’s face was shocked. If Gong Sunyi and Ye Liangdao were not lying, and truly helped him, then his grasp on that position increased by at least fifty percent... You should know, among the other leaders of the Hong Sect, Liu Shouyi already has three friends who have proactively vowed not to vie for the position with him! With the help of Ye Liangdao and Gong Sunyi, the people Liu Shouyi needed to defeat were probably only a few!

In this way, Liu Shouyi’s chance of victory increased significantly!

At this time, Wang Bing on the stage suddenly spoke with a cold smile. Her gaze glanced at Gong Sunyi, and she said in a cold tone, "That eunuch who speaks in such a weird manner, judging by your words just now, you seem to look down on women quite a lot. Why don’t you come up and spar with me first?!"

Swish!

Instantly, everyone’s eyes focused on Gong Sunyi, and many who didn’t get along with him held back their laughter. Some, with a mindset of enjoying the commotion, began to egg Gong Sunyi on to get on stage...

"Master Gong Sun, that woman is challenging you. Go up quickly and get some face back for our brothers of the Hong Sect!"

"Yes, Master Gong Sun, don’t put up with it. If you keep putting up with it, we’ll all lose face..."

"Go on, Master Gong Sun, do her!"

...

A series of teasing voices made Gong Sunyi’s face turn blue and white in rapid succession. He knew his strength was average and had enough self-awareness to not dare to challenge Wang Bing, who had defeated Bai Yuanshan. These coaxing voices simply set him on fire.

"I... I don’t refuse to fight, it’s just that I exchanged a punch with Lin Feng just now, and my injury hasn’t been suppressed yet... cough cough... Once today is over, it’ll be fine!" Gong Sunyi pondered for a while and eventually chickened out, using the excuse of being injured by Lin Feng to start fake coughing, not even daring to look at Wang Bing... As for his earlier words about not accepting Wang Bing, Gong Sunyi conveniently forgot them.

"Heh heh..." Wang Bing smiled expressionlessly. She didn’t expect Gong Sunyi to have the courage to challenge her, but this guy’s performance was too wimpy. Is this really a leader of the Hong Sect Martial Hall?

Liu Shouyi was also a bit disappointed with Gong Sunyi. He had thought that even if Gong Sunyi was weak, he could at least go up and exhaust some of Wang Bing’s energy, but this guy didn’t dare get on stage, his courage was too small.

"Lord Liu, don’t waste time!" Wang Bing said casually while looking at Liu Shouyi, "The Hong Sect has thirteen halls. Even after defeating you, there are still many opponents left!"

This was not taking any of the leaders of the Hong Sect seriously! Listening to Wang Bing’s words, Liu Shouyi could no longer hold back his indignation and, with a light leap, he landed on the stage, finally standing opposite Wang Bing.

"Let’s begin!" Liu Shouyi, quite calmly, gave a fist salute to Wang Bing and addressed her politely!

"That’s more like it. Since you have such guts, I’ll spare you some face as well..." Wang Bing chuckled lightly and, in a low voice, like she did with Bai Yuanshan, said to Liu Shouyi, "Within eighty moves, as long as you don’t seek defeat yourself, I won’t beat you!"

Liu Shouyi’s eyes widened, realizing from Wang Bing’s words, she had just spared the Bai Family Master some face...

However, Liu Shouyi didn’t have time to think further as the fierce wind sound approached rapidly. Wang Bing’s body had already launched towards him like lightning!
