After Defying the Villain’s Fate for Nine Lifetimes, the Heroines Turn Mad!

Chapter 26

Several hours later, Zhang Hu appeared on the mountainside of Ninth Peak.

Although Jiang Chen didn’t actually kill him in the end, a beating was inevitable, and by now, he was battered and bruised.

Zhang Hu had been searching for Lin Mubai for a long time.

After some investigation, he learned that Lin Mubai had moved to live on the mountainside, not far from the wooden pavilion where Jiang Chen had resided after the Book Pavilion had been burned down.

Many people were not surprised by this, thinking that Lin Mubai wanted to keep a close watch on Jiang Chen.

Zhang Hu thought the same.

So now, he was eager to find Lin Mubai to complain, hoping the latter would take his side.

Following the winding path along the mountainside and passing by Jiang Chen’s wooden pavilion, a newly constructed house came into view at the end of the path.

After some searching, Zhang Hu finally saw a figure in scholar’s attire at the edge of the cliff on the right side.

Taking a deep breath, he ran over with a crying tone.

Hearing this, the figure turned around.

Zhang Hu had intended to reveal all the atrocities Jiang Chen had committed against him in one breath, but suddenly he froze!

Because the person he saw was not the usual Lin Mubai with a scholar’s demeanor, meticulous about his appearance, and always carrying a book wherever he went.

Instead, it was an unkempt man with bloodshot eyes, hair as messy as a bird’s nest, his scholar’s robe torn with the sleeves ripped off, bare arms, and wielding two machetes!

“F*ck! Who the hell are you?!”

Zhang Hu was so scared that he jumped.

“…What do you want?”

The man spoke in a deep voice.

Feeling that the voice was very familiar, Zhang Hu began to scrutinize the man carefully.

Although the man in front of him looked like a wild man and a very agitated one at that, his facial features were indeed identical to Lin Mubai’s!

“…Second Senior Brother?”

Tears filled Zhang Hu’s eyes as his voice trembled, “You… how did you become like this?”

Lin Mubai did not respond, just coldly sized him up.

Recalling the rumors among the disciples of Ninth Peak today, a thought emerged in Zhang Hu’s mind: Could it be that Second Senior Brother has really gone mad?

“What’s with that look? Believe it or not, I’ll chop you up?”

Seemingly noticing Zhang Hu’s thoughts, Lin Mubai raised the blade threateningly with a menacing voice.

“What?!”

Zhang Hu was dumbfounded!

Could these words possibly come from Lin Mubai, who studies the sages’ books and cultivates the Righteous Qi?

If he hadn’t been certain he wasn’t mistaken, he would have doubted whether the person in front of him was Jiang Chen in disguise!

Before he could recover from his shock, Zhang Hu saw vital energy gathering on the two machetes, and the next second, Lin Mubai actually swung the blade at him! This gave him another fright.

Fortunately, Lin Mubai didn’t use his full strength with this blade, and Zhang Hu himself was a Core Formation Initial Formation cultivator, so he managed to dodge it at the critical moment.

“Second Senior Brother! Look carefully, it’s me, Zhang Hu! Aren’t we the closest brothers who share everything with each other?!”

Zhang Hu shouted desperately.

“You scoundrel, it’s exactly you that I’m chopping at!”

Lin Mubai immediately attacked again.

He had seen Jiang Chen misunderstood countless times for nine lifetimes and a thousand years.

Although these had nothing to do with Zhang Hu, every time Jiang Chen was scolded by Xiao Hongyi or disliked by Junior Brothers and Sisters, this guy laughed the loudest!

In desperation, Zhang Hu shouted again, “I have something to say! It’s about Eldest Senior Brother!”

At these words, Lin Mubai’s body stiffened, and the violent energy in his body gradually calmed down.

There’s a chance!

Zhang Hu was overjoyed in his heart, thinking: It seems that even if Second Senior Brother has gone mad, his disdain for Eldest Senior Brother has not diminished!

With this thought in mind, he immediately recounted everything Jiang Chen had done.

He didn’t exaggerate, as the matter was already outrageous enough!

Not only did Jiang Chen beat up a fellow disciple in public, but he also had the personal items of a Junior Sister in his arms! Two of them!

Knowing Lin Mubai, Zhang Hu was sure that he would be ashamed and take revenge on everyone’s behalf upon hearing this!

“You’re saying Eldest Senior Brother had Qingning Junior Sister’s personal belongings on him?”

After a long silence, Lin Mubai asked.

“It’s true!”

Zhang Hu patted his chest to assure, “I saw it with my own eyes! Not just Qingning Senior Sister but also Lianyue Senior Sister’s! What’s more outrageous is that Eldest Senior Brother even sniffed them in front of me!”

“Is that really so?!”

Lin Mubai was shocked.

“Indeed it is!”

Zhang Hu nodded earnestly, sighing, “Alas, I never imagined… that our Ninth Peak Eldest Senior Brother would be so shameless! This is simply…”

“Great!”

Lin Mubai interrupted loudly.

Zhang Hu was instantly confused!

Great? He couldn’t see what was so great about it?

What he didn’t know was that for nine cycles of reincarnation spanning a thousand years, Jiang Chen had always considered everyone else but never himself.

All of this was seen by Lin Mubai.

But in this lifetime, Jiang Chen was not only willing to play the villain, but he also disregarded the opinions of others and completely let himself go!

Jiang Chen living so freely and unrestrained was exactly what Lin Mubai had hoped for.

Lin Mubai didn’t expect that his Eldest Senior Brother would have such a hobby, but that was a trivial matter.

After all, nobody’s perfect, and it was reasonable for someone as outstanding as Jiang Chen to have one or two flaws.

“Hmm?”

Lin Mubai’s expression darkened again as he turned to look at Zhang Hu, who was still confused, and asked.

“Wait, who did you just call shameless?”

“Oh, I was talking about Eldest Senior Brother. Eldest Senior Brother is shameless and despicable. That’s why Second Senior Brother, I beg you to take action and let Eldest Senior Brother understand what divine retribution is!”

Zhang Hu’s words were emphatic.

“…divine retribution?”

Lin Mubai’s eyes narrowed slightly.

“That’s right! Only you, Second Senior Brother, can carry out heaven’s will!”

Zhang Hu replied instantly.

“Haha…”

Lin Mubai laughed.

His laughter was somewhat eerie.

His face suddenly twisted with ferocity and full of murderous intent as he wielded his twin machetes.

“I’ll chop you up first, and one day I’ll cut down the heavens too! Divine retribution? To hell with divine retribution! Whoever dares to speak of divine retribution, I’ll chop them!!”

Under the chilling murderous aura, Zhang Hu’s expression turned to horror, and he trembled uncontrollably.

At this moment, he was certain that his Second Senior Brother had truly gone mad, completely irrational!

Escape! He must escape!

As the thought crossed his mind, Zhang Hu tried to turn and run.

But he quickly realized.

Affected by the murderous intent and Lin Mubai’s powerful Earthly Origin realm aura, his blood had stagnated, and his vital energy was blocked, rendering him unable to move a step!

In the end, all he could do was watch in terror as Lin Mubai swung his machetes, slicing through the air towards him!

“F*ck! Where did this savage come from?!”

A surprised voice suddenly rang out.

At that sound, the twin machetes stopped right in front of Zhang Hu’s forehead.

Looking at the person who came, after a brief moment of shock, Lin Mubai’s limbs trembled slightly, his breathing became heavy, and in an instant, tears welled up in his eyes and streamed down his cheeks.

The relief of a narrow escape made Zhang Hu turn his head to look as well.

He saw a man in black not far away, looking in disbelief at everything before him while eating a spiritual fruit in his mouth.

“Eldest Senior Brother…”

Lin Mubai’s voice was choked with emotion.

Holding onto a sliver of hope, Zhang Hu also pleaded, “Eldest Senior Brother, Second Senior Brother has gone mad! Save me…”
