Chapter 552 - Betrayal (1/2)

“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.
