Chapter 44: Ding Mian, the Tower-Handed Man

Li Anran walked into the Zhengqi Hall and bowed to Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, saying, "Master, Master's Wife."

The surroundings suddenly became quiet.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on Li Anran.

"Ran'er, you're here!"

Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze immediately breathed a sigh of relief and felt completely at ease.

All the Huashan disciples were delighted, and many couldn't help but shout, "Big Brother!"

Li Anran nodded at them, signaling them not to worry, and then stood right in front of the Huashan disciples.

It was not until this time that a burst of discussions suddenly arose.

"Is this boy also a disciple of Huashan Sect? He is so handsome! He looks like he walked out of a painting!"

"I thought that pretty boy over there was good-looking enough, but I didn't expect there was another one here!"

"Is it possible that the Huashan Sect accepts disciples based on appearance?"

……

The five first-generation disciples of the Songshan School, also the fifth of the Thirteen Guardians, exchanged glances with each other.

They all saw the fireworks that Huashan Sect had just used to gather its disciples, but did not stop it. They even deliberately left some time for Yue Buqun to gather all the Huashan disciples so that they could catch them all in one fell swoop.

The Huashan Sect's eldest disciple Li Anran in front of them is one of the two targets they must kill besides Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze!

And the other...

"Master! Master!"

Another figure rushed in.

The man with the rectangular face, sword-like eyebrows and thin lips was none other than Linghu Chong, the third disciple of the Huashan Sect and their second target.

As for the other Huashan disciples, kill them if you can, and if you can’t kill them, then let them escape. It doesn’t matter, they won’t cause any trouble.

At the head of the guest seats, the fat man of Songshan Sect, the Great Protector among the Thirteen Protectors, Ding Mian, saw that his target had arrived, winked at the disciples behind him, and said, "Yue Buqun, have you thought clearly about what I just said to you? Give up the position of the head of Huashan Sect and hand over my Junior Brother Lu, and I can ask the Left Alliance Leader to allow you to retire from the martial arts world."

As soon as these words were spoken, Linghu Chong, who arrived last, became furious and was about to charge forward, but was held back by Li Anran.

The leaders of the Hengshan, Taishan and Hengshan sects are now in the back hall. The more domineering the Songshan sect behaves now, the more right the Huashan sect will be in the future!
Li Anran shook his head slightly at Linghu Chong, signaling him to be patient and not ruin his master's plan.

Yue Buqun said, "Brother Ding, I have already discussed this with Brother Lu. As the leader of the Five Mountains, Alliance Leader Zuo is in charge of the major issues of the Five Mountains. The affiliation of the leader of Huashan Sect is a matter of our Huashan Sect itself, and even Alliance Leader Zuo has no right to interfere."

"Yue Buqun!"

Ding Mian slammed his hand on the table and said sternly, "As the leader of the Five Mountains, you can manage all the affairs of the Five Mountains. How can you talk about the affairs of your own faction?"

Yue Buqun was delighted, but his face turned cold. He continued, "Brother Ding, when the Five Mountains Sword Sects formed an alliance, we agreed to help each other in attack and defense, to maintain the righteousness of the martial arts world, and to deal with the Sun and Moon Demon Sect. The same is true for appointing a leader."

"If we want to deal with the Demon Cult, I will naturally obey the orders of Alliance Leader Zuo. But as for other matters, everyone has always been in charge of their own affairs, and there is no such thing as listening to the orders of the Alliance Leader."

Ding Mian sneered, "The past is the past, and the present is the present! In the past, Alliance Leader Zuo was too lazy to take care of it, but now that he wants to take care of it, all matters of the Five Mountains, big or small, should obey Alliance Leader Zuo's orders!"

Yue Buqun was even happier, and dug another trap: "You mean, as long as the left leader is willing, he can give the order and we have to give up the position of the leader?"

Ding Mian said: "Don't even mention the position of the head of the sect. Even if it's your life, Yue Buqun, you have to hand it over if the Left Alliance Leader asks for it!"

Yue Buqun's face turned pale. Even though he had deliberately said this to induce Ding Mian, a rage still burned in his heart.

Mo Da and Ding Xian in the back hall looked extremely unhappy, while the hot-tempered Master Ding Yi and Taoist Tianmen were so angry that they gnashed their teeth and their eyes were bloodshot.

What Ding Mian could say to Yue Buqun today, he would naturally say to them in the future! Tianmen Taoist said angrily: "Mr. Mo Da, Master Ding Xian, let's go out too! I want to ask Ding Mian, whether Zuo Lengchan wants my life!"

Mo Da nodded.

Ding Mian dared to say this in public, obviously intending to silence the witness.

There was no point in them continuing to hide.

At this moment, Yue Buqun's voice was heard again from outside: "Ding Mian, is this what you meant, or what Zuo Lengchan meant? There are not only people from your Songshan Sect here, aren't you afraid that this will get out and cause criticism in the martial arts world!"

Ding Mian laughed loudly and said, "Yue Buqun, stop doing this useless work! From today onwards, there will be no Huashan Qi Sect in this world, only Huashan Sword Sect, and in the future there will only be the Huashan branch of the Five Mountains Sword Sect! Although the people here are not from my Songshan Sect, they will all be from the Five Mountains Sword Sect in the future!"

Yue Buqun was stunned and looked at the people in the lower positions of the Songshan Sect in surprise, especially Yu Canghai.

These people are all the leaders of their sects, and the Qingcheng Sect where Yu Canghai is located has a long history.

Yu Canghai's face was gloomy, but he did not refute it, obviously tacitly agreeing with the matter.

Yue Buqun was indeed somewhat surprised: "Leader Zuo really has a good plan!"

Ding Mian said: "Senior Brother Zuo is a man of great talent and strategy. How can you compare with him? Yue Buqun, if you hand over my Junior Brother Lu now and are willing to be my Senior Brother's running dog, I can still keep him..."

"Who do you think you are? How dare you speak nonsense here!"

Suddenly a figure flashed.

Li Anran snorted coldly and arrived in front of Ding Mian.

According to Yue Buqun's original plan, they would let Lu Bai and the other two show up to confront the Songshan Sect, confirm Zuo Lengchan's crime of murdering his fellow Taoists, kill a few more people from the Songshan Sect, and lock the Hengshan, Taishan, and Hengshan Sects on the Huashan Sect's chariot.

Unexpectedly, Ding Mian was so rampant that he directly told the story of annihilating the entire Huashan family in public.

In this case, there is no need to let Lu Bai and others come out.

The other party has already threatened to annihilate the entire Huashan clan, so any counterattack they make is justified and legitimate!
Ding Mian didn't expect that Li Anran would dare to take the initiative to attack, so he quickly waved his palm forward, his true energy surged, and his clothes suddenly bulged out.

Ding Mian's nickname is "Tower-Handing Hand" and all his kung fu is concentrated on his hands.

Back when he was at Liu Zhengfeng's house, he hit Master Dingyi with just one palm, causing her to spit blood and be seriously injured.

Although this was because Master Dingyi did not expect him to be so ruthless and did not use his full strength, it also showed how strong Ding Mian's palm power was!
Ding Mian was full of confidence when he made his move. A mere junior who dared to compete with him in palm power was simply courting death.

But, the next second.

His expression changed.

Bang!
The two palms collided and a muffled sound occurred.

The true energy turned into a strong wind and rushed out in all directions.

Ding Mian only felt an irresistible force coming from the opponent's palm, as thick as clouds, covering the sky and the earth, and unstoppable.

His hands felt as if struck by lightning, causing him extreme pain. His body flew backwards uncontrollably, first smashing the tables, chairs and benches behind him, then knocking over a dozen people in succession before he barely stopped.

puff!
Ding Mian was half-kneeling on the ground, spurting out a mouthful of blood. His face was as pale as paper, and his arms hung at his sides as if they were broken, shaking weakly.

Blood kept flowing out of his sleeves, dripping onto the ground, and soon formed a pool.

Zhengqi Hall fell silent instantly.

Everyone stared at Li Anran.

But this time, what made them look sideways was no longer Li Anran's appearance, but his terrifying strength!
