Sword from Songshan

Chapter 145: First Test of Edge
"Master Dingyi! Don't be so stubborn!"

In the Colorless Temple, Ding Mian's face was gloomy as he looked at Master Dingyi and the disciples of the Baiyun Temple.

"You only have two choices today. Either you admit your mistakes to the headmaster, Master Ding Xian, and merge the disciples of Baiyun Temple into Wuse Temple. Or you withdraw from Hengshan Sect on your own, abandon your martial arts, and never set foot in Hengshan again!"

"Ding Mian! You are going too far!"

Master Dingyi's face was filled with rage. This was not giving her a choice at all; it was clearly an attempt to force her to death.

Not to mention Master Dingyi's hot temper, even if it were someone else, they would definitely not agree.

"If you don't choose, I will choose for you!"

Ding Mian's eyes were grim, and he was ready to take action.

Nun Dingyi clenched the sword in her hand and looked at Nun Dingxian.

"Ding Xian, do you really want outsiders to interfere in Hengshan's affairs? If so, will Hengshan Sect still be the original Hengshan Sect?"

"Hengshan Sect is no longer the Hengshan Sect it once was."

Nun Dingxian closed her eyes slightly, neither looking nor saying anything else.

Seeing Master Dingxian's attitude, Master Dingyi did not ask any more questions and turned to Ding Mian again.

"At worst, I'll just die! Today, I'll learn the Songshan Sect's powerful moves!"

"Master! We will help you!"

Ding Mian is the Grand Protector of Songshan. Although he has lost an arm, his martial arts skills are very strong and I am afraid he is still better than Master Dingyi.

Besides, he has Zuo Feiying as his helper.

The disciples of Baiyun Temple drew their swords one after another, vowing to stand together with Master Dingyi.

Ding Mian sneered and snorted with disdain.

"Master Dingyi, do you really want these disciples of yours to be buried with you?"

"You all stand down!"

Master Dingyi had a serious expression on her face and shouted at everyone.

Ding Mian was right. If a fight really broke out, these disciples would be no match and would just die in vain.

The situation is like this today. At worst, she will fight to her death. If she can kill Ding Mian or Zuo Feiying, it won't be a loss.

But all of her disciples were good kids, so how could Master Dingyi bear to cause them to lose their lives?

"Master, we are not afraid of death!"

"Stop talking nonsense! If anyone makes a move later, he will no longer be my disciple!"

Master Dingyi spoke resolutely and then turned to Yiqing.

"You must control everyone. After I die, you can leave or stay. Don't act on impulse, and don't avenge me."

"Master..."

"Stop talking!"

Master Dingyi's face turned pale and she turned to Ding Mian and others again.

"Come on! Even if I can't kill you, I'll cut off your other arm!"

"Big talk!"

Ever since Dongfang Bubai tore off one of his arms, Ding Mian hated it most when others made fun of his broken arm. He shouted angrily and rushed towards Master Dingyi.

"It's really lively."

Just after taking two steps, a voice suddenly sounded from the door.

Ding Mian couldn't help but stop, turned his head and looked, his brows frowned instantly.

"Lu Nanxing!"

"Why is he here!"

Zuo Feiying's face also changed drastically, and he subconsciously clenched the whip in his hand.

"he?"

Master Dingyi looked puzzled, wondering why Lu Nanxing suddenly appeared.

"Brother Lu."

Only Yi Lin among the crowd could not hide the excitement on her face and breathed a sigh of relief.

Yiqing also showed a look of joy. Although she didn't know why Lu Nanxing came, she had a vague feeling that it was not a bad thing.

"Master Dingyi."

Lu Nanxing passed by Master Ding Xian, the head of Hengshan, and without even looking at Ding Mian and Zuo Feiying, he walked straight up to Master Ding Yi and greeted her.

"When I founded the Huangshan Sect, you sent someone to congratulate me. I am very grateful."

"Master Lu, you are too polite."

Master Dingyi returned the gift and expressed great appreciation.

"I heard a few days ago that you helped the court quell the rebellion and killed Liu Jin. You are a great hero for the country and the people. I really admire you."

"Brother Lu."

Hearing Master Dingyi praising Lu Nanxing, Yi Lin's face was filled with joy again, and she could no longer conceal her happiness.

"Master Dingyi, you are too kind. How can I be worthy of the title of hero?"

Lu Nanxing had a calm expression on his face. After some polite exchanges, he turned to Master Ding Xian.

"Master Ding Xian, you have always been highly respected and have a good understanding of the overall situation. How could you be so confused today?"

"You have no place to speak here!"

Before Master Ding Xian could speak, Ding Mian beside her scolded her and sneered at Lu Nanxing again.

"You have been expelled from Songshan and are no longer a disciple of the Five Mountains. How can you criticize the Hengshan Sect?"

"So what if he is a disciple of the Five Mountains?"

Lu Nanxing showed disdain and spoke directly.

"Don't deceive yourself. The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same origin. Now it's just a joke."

"Shut up!"

"Why, do you want to take action?"

"you……"

Seeing Lu Nanxing's eyes turn cold, Ding Mian suddenly felt panicked.

Back then on Mount Song, all the guards joined forces, and there were also hundreds of Songshan disciples, but they were unable to do anything to Lu Nanxing, let alone now that there are only him and Zuo Feiying.

If they really force Lu Nanxing to take action, not only will they not be able to get away with it, but they will also not be able to escape unscathed!

But if they just gave up and left, how would they save their face?
After all, it would be embarrassing if the news got out that the great Songshan Guardian was scared away by Lu Nanxing.

"Lu Nanxing!"

After a brief pause, Ding Mian spoke again with a gloomy expression.

"Think carefully. If you interfere in this matter, you will be the enemy of Songshan Sect and even the entire Five Mountains Sword Sect! You are the head of Huangshan Sect now. If that happens, the entire Huangshan Sect will have to bear the consequences!"

"Threatening me?"

Lu Nanxing smiled with disdain on his face.

If he was afraid of the Songshan Sect, he would not have gone to Hengshan at this time.

"Master Lu."

Seeing that Ding Mian and Lu Nanxing were arguing, Master Ding Xian spoke up.

"This is an internal dispute within our Hengshan Sect. Please do not interfere."

"Okay."

Lu Nanxing nodded and pointed at Ding Mian and Zuo Feiying.

"If the Songshan Sect doesn't intervene, then I won't intervene either."

"We are allies of the Five Mountains Sword Sects. As the leader of the alliance, the Songshan Sect should make the decision for the Hengshan Sect!"

Ding Mian spoke righteously, then snorted coldly.

"Who is your Huangshan Sect? Why do you think you can do that?"

"The Huangshan Sect will naturally not interfere in the internal affairs of the Hengshan Sect, but my two disciples are relatives of Master Dingyi."

Lu Nanxing smiled and pointed at Lin Pingzhi and Zhao Guangjin beside him.

"They are all distant nephews of Master Dingyi. How can we just sit back and watch our aunt in trouble?"

"What nonsense!"

This is obviously nonsense, Ding Mian gritted his teeth in anger.

"Why didn't you say they were Master Dingyi's sons!"

"Ding Mian! I'm going to fight you!"

How could Master Dingyi, a Buddhist nun, have a son?

He was so ashamed and angry that he was about to fight Ding Mian to the death.

"Haha~! They are the old nun's sons."

"The old nun actually has a son."

"Who is their father then?"

The Six Immortals of Taogu were standing by, watching the fun and making jokes.

Master Dingyi was so angry that she would have rushed forward if Lu Nanxing hadn't stopped her. The two sides argued for a while, neither of them gave in, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.

After a dispute, they decided to have a fight!
In the underworld, it is better to fight than to quarrel.

Both Wu Se Temple and Bai Yun Temple are disciples of Hengshan Sect. This competition does not involve ordinary disciples and only three matches are scheduled.

Nun Dingyi and Nun Dingxian, Ding Mian, Zuo Feiying, Lin Pingzhi and Zhao Guangjin.

Lu Nanxing did not participate.

If Lu Nanxing took action, there would not be a need for three games. He could handle everything by himself. If that were the case, Ding Mian would definitely not agree.

"Hmph~!"

Ding Mian had a sinister look on his face, and believed that Lin Pingzhi and Zhao Guangjin were no match for them.

Lu Nanxing actually let his two disciples compete with them, which was simply overestimating his own abilities.

Lu Nanxing was standing by, and even if he couldn't kill the two of them, he would at least make them suffer, which would also save Lu Nanxing's face.

After the agreement, everyone made way and the competition began directly.

"Boy! You are courting death!"

Zuo Feiying shook the whip in his hand and looked at Zhao Guangjin with disdain.

He is known as the Nine Tribulations Whip, a soft whip that he wields with great elusiveness and can hit people's acupoints. Both his internal strength and his moves are first-class.

Lu Nanxing naturally did not take Zuo Feiying's martial arts seriously, but for Zhao Guangjin, it was a big challenge.

After all, this was his first time facing a top-notch master.

"Please enlighten me!"

Zhao Guangjin took a stance with his hands in claws, but there was no fear on his face.

"Insanity."

Zhao Guangjin actually didn't use any weapon. Zuo Feiying frowned, snorted coldly, and swung out the long whip, which went straight towards Zhao Guangjin.

Zhao Guangjin didn't blink when he saw the long whip coming at him. Instead of resisting it, he used his body to avoid it and then took the opportunity to attack it.

"I want to get close!"

Zuo Feiying's face was gloomy and he took a few steps back.

Compared with ordinary weapons, the whip is longer and softer, and its attack is difficult to predict.

But all weapons have their pros and cons, and the disadvantage of the whip is that it is not good at close combat.

After all, a whip is only powerful when it is swung, and swung whip requires space.

Zuo Feiying was good at using a whip, so he naturally knew this, so he did not give Zhao Guangjin a chance to get close.

Zhao Guangjin was not in a hurry either. He dodged Zuo Feiying's attacks while looking for opportunities.

"It's quite calm."

Watching the two men fighting, Master Dingyi couldn't help but nod.

Compared to before, although Zhao Guangjin's martial arts has greatly improved, he is still half a step away from being first-rate.

Facing Zuo Feiying, who is already a first-class master, he was able to remain calm. This kind of mentality is indeed rare.

"This person's physical skills are quite good. I'm afraid the Second Protector may be in trouble."

Master Dingxian said this with a serious expression.

When two people compete, the key lies in the level of their martial arts. If the difference in skills is too great, no matter how good their mentality is, it will be useless.

The reason why Zhao Guangjin was able to fight with Zuo Feiying was because of his agile body movements.

This is not the Songshan body movement. Even with Master Dingxian's vision, she has never seen it before.

He couldn't help but look at Lu Nanxing. The reason why Zhao Guangjin was able to develop such a skill was naturally taught by Lu Nanxing.

Ding Mian next to him also had a serious expression. He had seen Lu Nanxing's skills and knew how powerful he was.

Compared to him, Zhao Guangjin is only about 20% or 30% of his ability, but even so, he is already very difficult to deal with.

"What's the point of just dodging!"

In a blink of an eye, he swung the whip dozens of times, but Zhao Guangjin dodged them all. Zuo Feiying couldn't help but feel a little anxious. He continued to attack while shouting loudly.

Zhao Guangjin seemed not to hear it, and there was no expression on his face. He continued to dodge.

"hateful!"

After several unsuccessful attacks, Zuo Feiying became more and more impatient.

Zhao Guangjin was just an outer disciple of Songshan Sect at the beginning. In his eyes, he was just a small follower. He was the great Songshan Taibao, a first-class master, but he couldn't even take down a small follower. How could he put his face?

With a frown on his face, he suddenly shook the whip with force, and for a moment the field was filled with whip shadows!

"Where can you hide?"

This is a unique skill that Zuo Feiying has practiced for several years, and he believes that no one can escape from it.

Of course, although this attack is dense, it also has great disadvantages.

After lashing out dozens of times in a short time, there are bound to be flaws. Once someone catches the tip of the whip, if the other person is more powerful than him, he may be able to snatch the whip from him.

But Zhao Guangjin definitely doesn't have that kind of skill.

Hurrah~!

Zhao Guangjin was already covered by the whip's shadow, and was about to succeed, but he suddenly flew into the air!

Flying across the void!

Regardless of whether they had seen Lu Nanxing's lightness skill or not, they were all shocked for a moment. Could it be that Zhao Guangjin had also mastered this kind of lightness skill?

In fact, if they looked carefully, they would see that Zhao Guangjin had a very thin silver thread in his hand.

Swish~!

Using the silver thread to escape from the whip shadow, Zhao Guangjin landed directly in front of Zuo Feiying. Without any hesitation, he grabbed him with one claw.

"Don't even think about it!"

Although it was a bit unexpected, Zuo Feiying was a first-rate master whose punches and kicks were also very strong. He did not panic at this moment and raised his palm to block the claw.

Having been approached, Zhao Guangjin did not give Zuo Feiying the chance to close the distance again. The two of them fought back and forth and then turned to fighting with fists and feet.

"Good claw method."

Looking at Zhao Guangjin's moves, Master Dingyi exclaimed in admiration again.

This claw technique combines eagle claw hand, tiger claw hand, and other grappling techniques. The moves are exquisite and can be said to be top-notch among the existing claw techniques in the world!

That's why he was able to face Zuo Feiying's Great Songyang Divine Palm without being at a disadvantage.

Looking at Lu Nanxing next to her, Master Dingyi secretly admired him again.

This set of claw techniques must have been created by Lu Nanxing.

Before, I only knew that he was a genius in swordsmanship, but today I know that he also has such attainments in boxing and kicking.

Young talent only appears once in a century!
"hateful!"

As the fight dragged on, Zuo Feiying became more and more annoyed, and his moves became more impatient.

In contrast, Zhao Guangjin was as stable as ever.

"die!"

After exchanging more than twenty moves, Zuo Feiying lost his patience, and with a cold shout, he directly slapped Zhao Guangjin.

Although this palm was fierce, it was also distracting and left a gap.

Zhao Guangjin frowned, but did not block. Instead, he grabbed Zuo Feiying's chest with his claws.

He actually wants to exchange injury for injury!
"Hmph~!"

Seeing through Zhao Guangjin's intention, Zuo Feiying snorted coldly but did not fight back.

His internal strength was far superior to Zhao Guangjin's. Even if this palm hit Zhao Guangjin, even if it didn't kill him, it would seriously injure him.

In comparison, the wound he received from Zhao Guangjin's claw was just some minor flesh wounds.

Bang~!

Tsk~!

Almost at the same time, Zuo Feiying hit Zhao Guangjin in the chest and Zhao Guangjin scratched his forearm.

After being hit hard, Zhao Guangjin took several steps back and spat out a mouthful of blood.

Lu Nanxing immediately supported him and put his hands on his back.

"Master, I lived up to your expectations and finally won."

Feeling the divine internal force transmitted by Lu Nanxing, Zhao Guangjin instantly felt much more comfortable and said with a smile.

Lu Nanxing nodded and continued to treat Zhao Guangjin's injuries.

"You won? Were you beaten stupid?"

Zuo Feiying's face was gloomy and he was about to attack again.

But the next moment, he was suddenly stunned and quickly looked down.

I saw that the blood had coagulated at the place where Zhao Guangjin had scratched me. Not only that, but when I pressed my finger next to it, I could not feel anything.

"poisonous!"

Zuo Feiying suddenly realized what was going on and looked terrified.

"You have poison on your claws!"
