Sword from Songshan

Chapter 168: The Summit of Mount Tai
Swish~!

A ray of cold light cut through the night sky and headed straight for Dongfang Bubai.

The key to the Sunflower Manual, the most powerful martial art in The Smiling Proud Wanderer, is speed.

Linghu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords is said to be able to break all martial arts in the world, but it cannot break the Sunflower Manual. This is because Linghu Chong is not fast enough. Even if he can see the flaws in his moves, he is too late to break them.

The only way to defeat martial arts in the world is speed, this is exactly the truth.

Dongfang Bubai's sunflower skill has reached perfection, and he uses a fine embroidery needle as a weapon, which makes him even faster. Only in this way can he become the best in the world who no one can deny.

In the original novel, Linghu Chong could not crack the Sunflower Manual, but he also gave a way to deal with it, which was to take the initiative!
Since he is not as quick as Dongfang Bubai, he will attack before him and not give him a chance to attack.

The same thing happened when the righteous gathered at Black Wood Cliff and many masters besieged Dongfang Bubai.

Now Lu Nanxing has to use this method when facing Dongfang Bubai.

He took the initiative to attack, and the attack he made was the Thunder Sword Style, which was the fastest among the eight sword styles!
Stab Dongfang Bubai directly between the eyebrows, attack him and he will be saved!
"Sword power."

Dongfang Bubai stood where he was, looking at the sword that broke through the air like thunder, a slight smile on his lips and a hint of approval in his eyes.

The last time he descended the cliff and massacred the Five Mountains, he was stopped by Feng Qingyang at Mount Hua. After a fierce battle, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but sigh that Feng Qingyang's style is still as good as before, and he can be said to be the best swordsman in the world.

Looking at Lu Nanxing's sword now, although it is still inferior to Feng Qingyang's, he can already be ranked second among the sword masters that Dongfang Bubai has ever met in his life.

It is true that heroes emerge from youth.

Bang~!

Although he admired him, Dongfang Bubai did not hesitate or give in to his enemy.

An embroidery needle popped out and blocked Lu Nanxing's sword.

Immediately afterwards, another one shot out, but it went straight to Lu Nanxing's forehead.

Bang~!

In the darkness, there was another sharp sound. This time it was Lu Nanxing using his sword to block Dongfang Bubai's embroidery needle.

Looking at Dongfang Bubai who was standing there without moving an inch, Lu Nanxing frowned.

To deal with Dongfang Bubai, he cannot be given a chance to attack. The strategy is not wrong, but the problem is that Lu Nanxing is alone.

Whether in the original novel or in this world, whether it is Linghu Chong, Ren Woxing, Master Fangzheng, Taoist Chongxu and others, many people besieged Dongfang Bubai.

Taking advantage of their numbers, they continuously attacked Dongfang Bubai, which prevented Dongfang Bubai from launching a counterattack.

Lu Nanxing is now alone with only a sword, so it is almost impossible for him to restrict Dongfang Bubai from taking action.

"Fight!"

He understood the logic, but given the current situation, Lu Nanxing could only grit his teeth and do it.

While thinking, his actions did not pause at all.

After blocking the needle, he leaped forward and pounced on Dongfang Bubai again.

Dongfang Bubai's weapon is an embroidery needle, similar to a hidden weapon, which can be classified as a long-range weapon. Therefore, if he fights in close combat, he will definitely suffer some losses.

The sword used by Lu Nanxing is a melee weapon.

Of course, with Dongfang Bubai's martial arts level, close combat punches and kicks are naturally not weak. Moreover, embroidery needles are hidden, and the shorter the inch, the more dangerous it is. The closer the enemy is, the easier it is to sneak attack, and the degree of danger is also greatly increased.

But it is better than being a kite and passively being beaten.

When fighting against Dongfang Bubai, it is no longer a question of pros and cons, but which method will cause the least damage.

Sacrifice pawns to protect the king, cut off the tail to survive, this is the basic psychological preparation for fighting Dongfang Bubai!

Ding-ding-ding-ding-ding~!

Dongfang Bubai did not deliberately keep his distance, and the next moment the two of them started fighting, accompanied by sharp sounds and sparks flying in the dark night.

Dongfang Bubai either dodged or blocked Lu Nanxing's sword moves with his embroidery needles, and he was not hurt at all. However, Lu Nanxing could not completely dodge or block Dongfang Bubai's embroidery needles, and one or two out of ten needles would hit him.

Fortunately, Lu Nanxing's Shenzhao Gong is unique. It can not only move acupoints, but also has amazing healing effects. Although the embroidery needle is hidden, it causes little trauma. As long as it does not pierce Lu Nanxing's vitals, there will be basically no harm.

Furthermore, Lu Nanxing had cultivated to the 27th phase of Buddhahood, and his body had been trained to the point of being invulnerable to swords and spears. Although Dongfang Bubai was an exception, as long as he did not use his full strength, those embroidery needles would not be able to pierce Lu Nanxing's body.

If it were just some flesh wounds, it wouldn't matter much.

"what?"

Several needles were shot at Lu Nanxing's shoulders, chest and abdomen, but only one needle penetrated. The rest either failed to penetrate completely or were simply bounced away.

Even Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but look surprised.

Obviously, Lu Nanxing practiced some kind of body-protecting martial arts, which was not qigong, but more like simple physical training.

The horizontal training kung fu in the martial arts world is no less than other martial arts, but this is the first time that Dongfang Bubai has seen one that can block his embroidery needle.

Lu Nanxing's swordsmanship is quite good. Any weapon that can hit his embroidery needle must have been shot extremely quickly, and it is almost impossible for him to use his full strength.

Even so, it's amazing enough.

Facing Dongfang Bubai, Lu Nanxing had to play all his cards, but he didn't have time to think too much at this time. He kept attacking with the sword in his hand. He didn't expect to kill Dongfang Bubai, but just wanted to delay some time.

As long as we delay long enough and wait for those strong reinforcements to arrive, we can join forces to kill this number one in the world!

"As expected of you, the headmaster!"

"He was able to fight back and forth with that Dongfang Bubai."

The Taishan disciples lying on the ground were shocked when they saw the two men fighting fiercely on the roof, and they couldn't help but sigh.

Before, I only knew that Lu Nanxing was a martial arts expert, but I didn’t have a very clear understanding of it.

After all, with their martial arts skills, there are so many people who are stronger than them, and in their eyes, they are all the same.

It was not until this moment that I realized that Lu Nanxing's martial arts skills were so high.

Dongfang Bubai is the best in the world, and since Lu Nanxing is not inferior to him, he must be the second best in the world.

It has to be said that these people have limited knowledge and simplistic ideas, but sometimes they guess right.

Although Lu Nanxing's current martial arts skills cannot be considered the second best in the world, they are already half a step away from the top. He is not inferior to Taoist Chongxu and Ren Woxing, and only slightly weaker than Master Fangzheng and Feng Qingyang.

Looking across the world, the only person who can kill him is probably Dongfang Bubai!
"No."

No matter whether it was Lu Nanxing or Dongfang Bubai, their moves were extremely fast and in the blink of an eye they had already exchanged over a hundred moves.

If the fight continues at this speed, the two sides will probably have to exchange thousands of moves before Ren Woxing and the others arrive.

The key to the problem is that Lu Nanxing is not sure whether he can hold on by then.

We can't keep fighting like this, we have to find a way to delay time.

Ding~dingding~!

While thinking, Dongfang Bubai seized the opportunity and flexed his ten fingers at the same time, sending out several embroidery needles in an instant.

Each one was as fast as lightning, and each one was aimed at a vital point or acupoint of Lu Nanxing.

No matter how good his body movements were, it was impossible to dodge them all. Lu Nanxing had a serious expression on his face. He swung his sword and sealed off all directions. With a sharp sound, he blocked all the embroidery needles.

It is the Earth Sword Force among the eight sword forces. It is steady and heavy, extending in all directions. It can be called the strongest defensive sword force of absolute defense.

"This sword is indeed quite good, but it's a pity that you can only use it a few more times."

This was not the first time Lu Nanxing used the Earth Sword Force. Although the move was old, it was still effective as an absolute defense.

Dongfang Bubai did not continue to attack, but smiled as he looked at the sword in Lu Nanxing's hand.

Lu Nanxing took a quick glance out of the corner of his eye and saw that there were already many cracks on the sword.

When one's inner strength is cultivated to a high level, every blade of grass and every tree can be used as a weapon.

The fourth sword in the sword tomb of the sword demon Dugu Qiubai is a wooden sword, which he said "is not bound by objects, grass, wood, bamboo and stone can all be used as swords."

Although Lu Nanxing's current skills are not as good as Dugu Qiubai's back then, they are not far behind. It is not difficult to infuse internal strength and use plants as swords. But plants are plants after all.

Just like Yang Guo, to kill Nemo Star, a fragile jade hairpin was enough. But facing King Jinlun, he had to draw out the heavy black iron sword again.

By the same token, if it was a second or third rate master, Lu Nanxing could kill him with just a blade of grass, but now he is facing Dongfang Bubai!
The so-called weapons are a kind of bonus to martial arts. When his martial arts are not as good as Dongfang Bubai's, and he no longer has any magic weapons in his hands, the gap will be even greater.

Unfortunately, Lu Nanxing’s Juque is now in a building deep inside the Taishan Sect.

The sword in his hand at this moment was an ordinary long sword he had just picked up from the ground. He blocked the embroidery needles shot by Dongfang Bubai one after another. Even with the infusion of internal force, it was almost collapsed.

"In that case..."

Lu Nanxing's face darkened and he attacked Dongfang Bubai with his sword again.

Although it looks like one sword, it actually includes thousands of swords that attack from all directions at the same time, including pointing, stabbing, chopping and flicking.

No matter how skilled you are, don't even think about dodging. Even if you block, unless you have an absolute defensive move like Lu Nanxing's sword force, it is an unavoidable and unstoppable sword attack!
It is the last of the eight sword styles that Lu Nanxing has mastered, and it is also the most powerful offensive sword style, the Heavenly Sword Style!
"Good swordsmanship!"

Seeing this sword, even Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but widen his eyes slightly and let out a shout of praise.

Before this, after fighting for more than a hundred moves, Dongfang Bubai's evaluation of Lu Nanxing's swordsmanship was second only to Feng Qingyang's.

But this sword has already reached the level of Feng Qingyang's swordsmanship!

"Drink~!"

Although Dongfang Bubai was fast, he couldn't avoid the sword. In this case, he simply didn't avoid it.

With a loud shout, the robe on his body instantly swelled up like a huge balloon.

Bang~!

Countless sword shadows hit his body, and there was indeed a dull sound, and all of them cut onto the robe.

When the internal strength reaches a certain level, plants, bamboo and stones can all be used as weapons.

Dongfang Bubai has practiced the Sunflower Manual for many years, and his magical powers have reached a high level, and his internal strength has reached the highest level.

At this time, it was not difficult to block Lu Nanxing's sword by infusing the robe with internal energy.

"As expected of the Invincible East."

Lu Nanxing shook his head and couldn't help but sigh when he saw that the strongest sword that he had painstakingly studied was blocked just like that.

Strength can defeat skill. In the face of absolute power, all tricks are meaningless.

It seems simple, but in fact, there are no more than two people in the world today who can use this method to break Lu Nanxing's sword power!
Moreover, this was the result of Lu Nanxing using an ordinary long sword, not a Juque.

Click~!

With a slight sound, the long sword finally couldn't bear it anymore and broke into several pieces.

"You don't even have a sword, how can you fight?"

Dongfang Bubai chuckled, with a hint of teasing in his eyes.

"really."

Lu Nanxing nodded, then turned around and ran.

"..."

If you can't win, just run away? Even Dongfang Bubai was stunned for a moment.

Then he came to his senses, a sneer appeared on his lips, how could he run away!

Dongfang Bubai immediately used his Qinggong skills to chase after him.

"This this……"

Seeing Lu Nanxing and Dongfang Bubai fleeing into the distance one after another, the Taishan Sect disciples below were dumbfounded.

We were fighting just now, why did he suddenly run away?

Fortunately, Dongfang Bubai chased after Lu Nanxing and ignored them.

Recalling the scene when Dongfang Bubai appeared in Taishan Sect and slaughtered people in all directions with just one embroidery needle, everyone is still frightened.

At this time, Dongfang Bubai left, and everyone supported each other and stood up.

"Good boy!"

The main reason why Dongfang Bubai's martial arts is the best in the world is that his speed is the best. In addition to his fast attack speed, his martial arts skills are also fast.

He believed that no one could escape from him.

But when looking at Lu Nanxing in front of him, his brows were slightly frowned.

Lu Nanxing’s Qinggong skills are probably not inferior to his.

Although he is slightly slower than him, he is better at climbing and jumping.

This is Mount Tai, and besides the Taishan Sect's temple, there are many steep cliffs. Lu Nanxing could easily pass through with a single leap, but Dongfang Bubai had to rely on his strength several times along the way.

In this way, the distance that had just been shortened was widened again.

Moreover, Lu Nanxing obviously knew this and chose to run in those steep and difficult places.

"Hmph~!"

Dongfang Bubai snorted coldly again. Although they were in the mountains, it was impossible for there to be cliffs and canyons everywhere. As long as he could reach a slightly open flat land, he would be able to catch up.

This is indeed the case. During the chase, although the distance is sometimes far and sometimes near, it is generally getting closer.

Dongfang Bubai and Lu Nanxing were not far apart to begin with, and it was estimated that they would be able to catch up in a moment.

Dongfang Bubai's patience is limited, and his eyes are already cold at this moment. If he catches up with Lu Nanxing, he will definitely take his life and not give him a chance to escape!

After all, Lu Nanxing no longer had a sword in his hand, so how could he be his opponent?

After chasing for a while, Lu Nanxing suddenly stopped.

In front of him was a bottomless cliff.

"Ah."

Dongfang Bubai came over and couldn't help but smile.

"There's no way out. Your luck is really bad."

"Really? Keep chasing me if you can!"

Lu Nanxing also smiled, then turned around and jumped off the cliff.

Dongfang Bubai opened his eyes slightly and hurried to the edge of the cliff to watch.

It was true that Lu Nanxing jumped down, but he did not fall straight down. Instead, he used his claws to grab the cliff to slow down after falling a certain distance. He went down so quickly that he disappeared in the rolling clouds in the blink of an eye.

"Don't even think about running away!"

Dongfang Bubai frowned and immediately jumped off the cliff.

He didn't have the claws to dig his fingers into the stone wall, but he had an embroidery needle and silk thread.

Whenever they fall a certain distance, they will nail the embroidery needle with silk thread into the rock wall, and hold the silk thread tightly here, which can also have a decelerating effect.

However, compared to Lu Nanxing, he was a little slower.

"Look where you're going!"

By the time he got off the cliff, Lu Nanxing had already run about 100 to 200 meters.

Dongfang Bubai snorted lightly, but was not in a hurry.

They had already descended the mountain. Lu Nanxing no longer had any advantage on the flat ground and there was no way he could escape!
