"What the fuck? Zhang Bin is so badass, actually calling Si Yangze his son?" All the cultivators watched, dumbfounded. Then, many of them covered their mouths to stifle their laughter.
Si Yangze's face turned livid with towering rage, yet he dared not lash out. He knew he was in the wrong.
"Si Yangze, you bastard, what makes you worthy of being my son?" Zhang Bin said with disdain. "You ca groveling to call your father, so I'll give you two big slaps."
With that, he harshly struck out twice.
Si Yangze tried to dodge, but a terrifying force appeared out of nowhere, instantly pinning him in place and rendering him unable to move.
SMACK! SMACK!
The crisp sounds rang out. Two red handprints blossod on Si Yangze's face, and his head began to buzz. His mouth fell open, and he spat out several bloody teeth, which clattered onto the ground.
"My God, Zhang Bin actually dared to slap Si Yangze? This is too badass."
All the onlookers were completely astounded.
"Zhang Bin, you dare humiliate ?" Si Yangze roared furiously.
SMACK! SMACK! SMACK!
Without another word, Zhang Bin's slaps rained down like lightning. He struck an unknown number of tis, causing Si Yangze to wail miserably as his face swelled up high and red, like a pig's head.
"Zhang Bin, I will seek justice from the Leader! Just you wait," Si Yangze snarled, clutching his face.
"Si Yangze, you hired an assassin to deal with , and the assassin confessed everything. Everyone heard it. Don't you have an explanation?" Zhang Bin demanded, his voice filled with murderous intent.
"You'd believe the word of an assassin?" A vicious light flashed in Si Yangze's eyes.
"Why would the assassin na you specifically? Why not soone else?" Zhang Bin said contemptuously. "You dare to commit the act but not admit to it. What kind of man are you?"
"It wasn't ! I have no need to hire an assassin to deal with you." How could Si Yangze possibly admit it?
"I will find evidence for this matter. Si Yangze, don't think your tracks are covered perfectly," Zhang Bin sneered.
"If you have evidence, then bring it out. If not, shut your mouth," Si Yangze said, his voice full of bluster.
"You're just angry because my King of Gamblers Entertainnt Co., Ltd. didn't select beauties from the Immortal Palace, causing you to earn less rit. That's why you hired an assassin to kill . A person like you is a disgrace to all cultivators. You'll suffer retribution and die a miserable death—perhaps even more horribly than Lv Yuze," Zhang Bin sneered.
"So, Si Yangze hired an assassin to deal with Zhang Bin over such a trivial matter. Unbelievable."
"Si Yangze is too ruthless. There are so many ways to earn rit. Why did he have to hire an assassin to kill Zhang Bin?"
"Maybe Si Yangze coveted Zhang Bin's King of Gamblers Entertainnt Co., Ltd. and his dicinal formulas. He probably knew all along that the two Zhang Bins were the sa person, and that's why he hired an assassin to kill him..."
"..."
The crowd of cultivators finally understood and began whispering among themselves, their faces filled with disdain for Si Yangze's character.
"Hahaha... Zhang Bin, you've revealed your true murderous nature! So it was you who killed Lv Yuze. Otherwise, how would you know he died so wretchedly?" Si Yangze suddenly burst into manic laughter.
"Everyone knows you sent Lv Yuze to hire an assassin to kill , and then you murdered Lv Yuze to silence him. You took him as your disciple just for this, didn't you? So you could kill him to cover your tracks? Moreover, by killing him, you could also fra and get the Lü family to co after you. A great plan to kill two birds with one stone, wasn't it?" Zhang Bin retorted.
"What? Lv Yuze was killed by Si Yangze? Si Yangze took him as a disciple with such a sinister motive?"
A sharp chill ran down the spines of all the cultivators. They looked at Si Yangze with a new kind of fear. This was not a person they ever wanted to associate with; one could easily be hard by him without even realizing it.
"You're spouting vicious slander..." Si Yangze was so furious he nearly coughed up blood. A towering rage surged through his heart, and in that mont, he had only one thought: to annihilate Zhang Bin imdiately.
A Flying Sword suddenly appeared in his hand as he poised to attack Zhang Bin. This was, of course, exactly what Zhang Bin had been hoping for, which was why he had slapped Si Yangze and then deliberately frad him. Now, he could eliminate his opponent right here without any ceremony. Their thoughts were aligned—neither wished for the other to live even a minute longer. They both wanted to kill each other on the spot.
However, Si Yangze was, after all, a cunning old fox. As soon as he drew his Flying Sword, he realized they were within a Formation. Attacking Zhang Bin here would be tantamount to suicide. Moreover, even if he could kill Zhang Bin, doing so in front of so many witnesses ant he would not escape unscathed. The state would surely deal with him.
Thus, he quickly retracted his Flying Sword, contenting himself with a cold sneer at Zhang Bin. However, with his face swollen like a pig's head, his sneer was uglier than tears, prompting many cultivators to laugh silently.
"Si Yangze, are you so angry because I spoke the truth that you want to kill to silence ?" Zhang Bin said scornfully. "Co on, then! Co and kill !"
"This operation is over. We're leaving." Si Yangze refused to engage further. He was afraid that if he did, he wouldn't be able to contain his rage and would attack Zhang Bin, playing right into his hands. He led the cultivators of the Daoyi Sect as they soared into the sky.
"Si Yangze, why don't we step outside the Formation for a duel to the death? We can even sign a life-and-death waiver," Zhang Bin yelled after him.
Si Yangze paused, tempted. He had personally seen Zhang Bin use a powerful weapon against the female assassin, nearly killing the Mid Nascent Soul stage expert. Perhaps Zhang Bin has no more powerful weapons left. In a true life-and-death battle, I'm absolutely confident I can kill him.
However, he then rembered that the experts from the Taiqing Sect had rescued Zhang Bin. They might have given him another powerful weapon. He ultimately decided not to take the risk. Suppressing his rage, he said, "Zhang Bin, I bear you no grudge. Why would I fight you to the death?"
With that, he spurred his sword and flew away like a bolt of lightning. The nearly one hundred elites from the Daoyi Sect quickly followed, and they all departed swiftly.
Si Yangze, I swear I will not rest until I have killed you. Zhang Bin vowed internally, his body exuding an intense killing intent.
"Zhang Bin, though Si Yangze originated from our Kunlun, he can no longer be considered a mber of our Kunlun Sect. He is now the Sect Leader of the Daoyi Sect. The Daoyi Sect is a new and erging sect filled with experts. It's developing rapidly and may one day be comparable to any of the top sects," Zhou Tianyu said with an indifferent smile, having sensed the murderous intent in Zhang Bin's heart.
His implication was clear: Kunlun would not interfere in the conflict between Zhang Bin and Si Yangze.
"Thank you, Senior Zhou," Zhang Bin said gratefully.
However, I know this is a pragmatic world. If I hadn't lied about a senior from the Taiqing Sect intervening, killing the assassin, and saving , thereby demonstrating terrifying backing, Zhou Tianyu might not have made such a statent. His stance isn't born from any dissatisfaction with Si Yangze, nor from any great appreciation for . He simply doesn't want to see a conflict erupt between two powerful sects. He has truly earned his reputation as an old monster who has lived for 980 years; his actions are always so prudent.
With that thought, Zhang Bin invited Master Tianlong, Zhao Dawei, Zhang Hangkui, and Zhou Tianyu into the villa's secret room to discuss their next move against the Black Bell. With that bastard Si Yangze gone, he was finally free to act boldly. Otherwise, Si Yangze would have undoubtedly leaked their plans, as he desperately wanted the Assassin Organization to kill Zhang Bin.
Of course, I also want to teach that vicious woman, Han Chun'er, a harsh lesson. But for now, I don't have a good reason. I can only suppress my anger and find an opportunity to deal with her in the future.
"Gentlen, the Black Bell organization is evil and terrifying, but has the world overestimated their strength? Do they really have cultivators of the Fusion Stage?" Zhang Bin asked seriously.
Having witnessed the terrifying power of a Mid-Nascent Soul Cultivator and considering his own harrowing experience with the Heavenly Tribulation, Zhang Bin felt that cultivating to the Integration Realm was harder than ascending to heaven. He found it hard to believe that a re Assassin Organization could possess a cultivator of that level.
This was especially true given a technique like the Heaven-Defying Divine Skill. Its True Qi was drawn from others' bodies, so it lacked tempering, and the foundation was certainly unstable. Breaking through to new realms might not be a problem, but surviving the dreadful Heavenly Tribulation would be monuntally difficult. After all, look at Zhou Tianyu. He was a Supre Genius who had cultivated for 980 years, yet he had only reached the Nascent Soul Early Stage and had been unable to break through to the Middle Stage for a long ti. This just went to show how difficult cultivation truly was.
