Chapter 1425 - 1428: Are You Begging Me?

However, Liu Shouyi had no time to think it over; the fierce sound of the wind approached, and Wang Bing’s body had already attacked him like lightning!

At this moment, Liu Shouyi finally realized the terrifying aspect of Wang Bing!

Wang Bing’s jade-like palms attacked continuously, each move striking with extreme ferocity and speed, leaving Liu Shouyi barely able to defend!

Bam bam bam...

Palm and arm collided, constantly making loud noises. Liu Shouyi gritted his teeth, letting out continuous groans filled with indescribable pain...

Wang Bing’s palms, though looking extremely delicate, were far harder than Liu Shouyi anticipated!

Every collision felt as though Liu Shouyi’s arms were about to crack, and he could only muster his greatest strength to resist Wang Bing’s attack. Despite this, Liu Shouyi still felt his arms beginning to get injured due to the immense pressure...

Meanwhile, as Wang Bing continued her moves, she also began her usual counting...

"Tenth move... fifteenth move... twentieth..."

One minute later, the number from Wang Bing’s mouth had reached eighty!

Liu Shouyi looked at Wang Bing with some fear!

"Lord Liu, sorry but there are too many brothers behind you, I can’t waste any more time with you..." Wang Bing smiled faintly and once again struck with both palms, easily knocking Liu Shouyi off the stage!

Liu Shouyi only lasted one minute before being utterly defeated by Wang Bing!

For a moment, almost all the Hong Sect brothers were silent, their eyes reddened, looking at Wang Bing on the stage in disbelief, unsure what to say!

The Bai Family Master was defeated, and Liu Shouyi was also defeated. These two were already considered the most powerful experts within the Hong Sect right now... Yet, neither could withstand Wang Bing’s attack. Does this mean Old Master Xu has to take the stage?!

Not to mention if Old Master Xu has any reason to make an appearance, but if he also can’t face off against Wang Bing, wouldn’t that mean the Hong Sect has no dignity left at all?!

Old Master Xu absolutely cannot make his move lightly! This is the firm belief in the hearts of every Hong Sect brother, then they looked around, trying to find someone capable of defeating Wang Bing...

This time, many looked toward Ye Liangdao, while not a few turned their gaze on Lin Feng.

"Brother Ye... be careful, that woman’s very strong! At least mid-peak Innate cultivation!" Liu Shouyi, being helped back to his original position by two subordinates, said to Ye Liangdao while gasping for breath, "I’ve done my best, it’s up to you now... I just remind you, if we don’t think up a way together to knock this woman off the stage, our Hong Sect brothers might stand no chance!"

Liu Shouyi’s face was ghostly pale, appearing sickly, his situation seemed dire, yet this was just an act, as he wasn’t injured during the fight nor had he exhausted his Inner Strength. However, Liu Shouyi had his own plans, knowing that if he depleted his energy on Wang Bing, even if he managed to knock her off, he wouldn’t be able to withstand other leaders’ attacks!

So, Liu Shouyi was feigning weakness, hoping Ye Liangdao and others would step up to remove Wang Bing, allowing him to challenge the next candidate!

Ye Liangdao wore a dark expression, surprised at Wang Bing’s unexpectedly strong power, reasoning that Liu Shouyi’s strength was greater than Bai Yuanshan’s, yet lasted less than two minutes on stage! It seemed Wang Bing deliberately went easy on Bai Yuanshan in their earlier duel...

When Ye Liangdao noticed most eyes fixed on him, he felt inexplicable anxiety... As a leader of the Hong Sect, Ye Liangdao was also someone who valued reputation, yet his thoughts were similar to Liu Shouyi’s, wanting to conserve strength, keeping his skills for future use, when others knocked Wang Bing off and then strategize...

So, what can be done now?! After pondering for a while, Ye Liangdao suddenly turned his gaze to Lin Feng, a sly glint passing through his eyes... He thought of a plan.

"Brother Lin Feng!" Then, under everyone’s eyes, Ye Liangdao took the initiative to speak, looking at Lin Feng from afar and said in a deep voice, "How long are you going to hide?! Since your odds in the Sect Leader’s corner are lower than mine, it means that in the eyes of the brothers, your strength is greater than mine, and if you don’t step up now, are you going to be a coward?!"

Upon Ye Liangdao’s words, the Hong Sect brothers showed expressions of agreement, turning to Lin Feng and starting to speak:

"Yes, the odds for Lord Lin of the Thirteenth Hall are currently the third lowest, meaning that besides Lord Liu and Sister Bing, he has the highest chance of becoming Sect Leader; it seems a little inappropriate for him to stand aside all this time?!"

"Right, even if Lord Lin doesn’t dare to come on stage, it’s due time for him to make a statement... If he endorses Sister Bing as Sect Leader, that’s something else!"

"Lord Lin, as a leader of the Hong Sect, recognizing Sister Bing’s rise is within regulations and reasonable, but as a man of our Hong Sect, don’t you want to claim some dignity for us two thousand men?!"

"Yeah, Lord Lin, what are you waiting for?! Say something!"

...

Lin Feng was slightly stunned, unexpectedly finding Ye Liangdao somewhat scheming, using a few words to direct all the public opinion against him. Even Wang Bing on stage cast a curious gaze at Lin Feng, her eyes seemingly asking if he dared to come on stage...

Lin Feng showed a peculiar smile; such developments were quite unforeseen. It’s not that he couldn’t fight, nor that he didn’t dare to; he simply didn’t want to be coerced onto the stage by Ye Liangdao!

"Lord Ye..." Lin Feng looked at Ye Liangdao, calmly asking, "Have you forgotten that you’re the leader of the Fourth Hall of the Hong Sect?"

"Of course, I haven’t forgotten. If the Hong Sect still had only twelve halls this year, as leader of the Fourth Hall, I would naturally be obliged to step up..." Ye Liangdao, seeing Lin Feng beginning to respond, revealed a scheming smile, "But, things are different now! Your Longfeng Martial Hall, though just established this year as a new hall, you’re personally hailed as the first leader of the Hong Sect in a century, more renowned than me in the martial world, and your odds are lower than mine. If I precede you, the brothers might say I’m overestimating myself!"

As Ye Liangdao spoke, many Hong Sect brothers nodded in agreement; after all, China is a society of human relationships, and even in the martial world, rankings are important, and if Lin Feng’s strength indeed surpassed Ye Liangdao, yet Ye Liangdao stepped up first, it would seem like he was seeking fame.

"Though I think you make a fair point..." Lin Feng nodded, then seriously looked at Ye Liangdao, asking deeply, "But I still want to ask one more question, are you asking me a favor?"
