Sword from Songshan

Chapter 169: The Bank of the Yellow River
Bang~!

There was a dull sound, like a morning bell.

Looking at Lu Nanxing who was knocked back several steps by his palm, Dongfang Bubai did not take the opportunity to attack, but frowned again.

Although he was unable to use his full strength in the previous palm strike, if he wanted to use his full strength, he would need to gather his luck in advance. In a fight of this level, the opponent would generally not give him this opportunity.

But the force was also about 60% to 70%. With Dongfang Bubai's strength, even a piece of steel plate could be broken. Although Lu Nanxing took several steps back, he was not actually hurt much.

If it was just this time, it would be fine.

After coming down from Mount Tai, Dongfang Bubai quickly caught up with Lu Nanxing, and the two sides fought again.

Lu Nanxing had no intention of fighting him again, so he ran away when he found an opportunity. Dongfang Bubai would naturally not let him go, and would soon catch up with him again, and the two continued to fight.

They had been running and stopping like this for two or three hours, and during that time they had fought at least eight hundred moves, if not a thousand.

In addition to fists and kicks, Dongfang Bubai hit Lu Nanxing with embroidery needles dozens of times.

But so far, Lu Nanxing is still full of energy.

Even though he had thick skin and flesh and could not be hurt by ordinary fists and kicks, an embroidery needle piercing the major acupoints such as Tanzhong would have no effect at all.

Although acupoints are important, there are indeed martial arts that can move their positions slightly, such as the Great Shift of the Universe performed by the great hero Zhang Wuji more than a hundred years ago.

Even if Lu Nanxing has similar abilities, the vital organs of the body cannot be moved, right?
Dongfang Bubai once stabbed Lu Nanxing's heart with a needle, but Lu Nanxing just spit out a mouthful of blood and was soon completely healed.

At this time, another palm hit Lu Nanxing, but failed to cause actual damage. Even Dongfang Bubai felt a little frustrated for a moment.

"As expected of the Eastern Sect Leader, his palm power is really strong and it really hurts."

Lu Nanxing rubbed his chest and spoke.

Although this is true, saying it at this time seems like a mockery.

Dongfang Bubai's eyebrows instantly raised and his eyes became more ferocious.

Lu Nanxing smiled but didn't take it seriously.

Lu Nanxing’s current martial arts skills are indeed not as good as Dongfang Bubai’s, but fortunately, he is strong enough to fight back!
Thanks to the completion of the twenty-seven phases of Buddha's body training, his body is invulnerable to swords and spears. Even Dongfang Bubai's embroidery needle can only pierce the skin and flesh but cannot deeply injure the internal organs.

Even if one is unable to defend oneself and is pierced by an embroidery needle, the wound, the size of a needle hole, can be healed instantly with the powerful healing effect of the Shenzhao Gong, which is comparable to bringing the dead back to life.

To the extent that, even if Lu Nanxing's heart was stabbed, it was still able to heal quickly. It was just a momentary cardiac arrest and he spit out blood, and then he recovered as before.

As he spoke, Lu Nanxing turned around and ran away again.

Although he could resist, he was no match for Dongfang Bubai alone.

If the fight continues like this, even if it doesn't last seven days and seven nights like the Battle of Mount Hua, he will probably die at the hands of Dongfang Bubai within a day!

If the embroidery needle injures the brain, it will still cause serious damage to Lu Nanxing.

Furthermore, when Dongfang Bubai pierced his internal organs, he pulled the silk threads to enlarge the wound. No matter how magical the Shenzhao Gong was, it could not heal the wound instantly. If it happened too many times, the injuries would be compounded and he would eventually not be able to hold on.

"Watch where you run!"

Lu Nanxing's tenacity far exceeded Dongfang Bubai's expectations, but as they fought more and more, Dongfang Bubai got to know more about Lu Nanxing, and he became confident that he could kill Lu Nanxing!
After all, he had the upper hand from the beginning to the end of the fight.

If Lu Nanxing is really immortal, why would he run away? There must be some critical flaw. Dongfang Bubai has already guessed this.

With a sneer on his face, he immediately used his Qinggong to chase after him.

Just like before, running and stopping.

After another hour, Dongfang Bubai only focused on Lu Nanxing's brows and eyes when he made his move!

I've tried it before, and there was no effect no matter attacking the internal organs or acupoints.

It must be because the wound caused by the embroidery needle was too small. If Lu Nanxing wanted to increase the damage further, he would not give him the opportunity.

Although Lu Nanxing's martial arts skills are not as good as Dongfang Bubai's, he is also a top master in the world and cannot be easily bullied.

However, Dongfang Bubai gradually discovered that Lu Nanxing had extremely tight defense on his head, from which it can be inferred that the brain is still his Achilles' heel!
Furthermore, although the trauma caused by an embroidery needle is small, it is enough to damage the eyeball.

If you go blind, it's not fatal, but you're not far from death.

No matter how powerful Lu Nanxing's horizontal training is, it is impossible for him to make his eyes invulnerable to swords and guns.

"It's really troublesome!"

Lu Nanxing used all his strength to fight back, cursing in his heart.

Not only is Dongfang Bubai a powerful martial artist, but his intelligence is also top-notch, and he saw through his weaknesses so quickly.

As a result, Lu Nanxing's situation became increasingly dangerous.

"Why haven't you come yet?"

In order to protect his head and eyes, Lu Nanxing was given two more injections by Dongfang Bubai in other parts of his body, and he became more and more anxious.

He rushed to Mount Tai last night, and by the time he got here, it was already dawn.

Several hours have passed, but no help has arrived!
While he was thinking, Dongfang Bubai stabbed Lu Nanxing in the lower abdomen with a needle, and then pulled the red line attached to it to expand the wound.

Lu Nanxing did not dare to delay and quickly cut the red line with his claws.

Dongfang Bubai smiled, and another embroidery needle shot out, heading straight for his forehead.

Lu Nanxing had anticipated this and turned his head to dodge.

"not good!"

But unexpectedly, Dongfang Bubai actually shot out two embroidery needles at the same time. After he turned his head, the next needle was aimed at one of his temples!

If the piercing is done through the temple, the brain can still be injured.

Lu Nanxing's face changed drastically and he quickly raised his hands to protect himself.

There was a slight stinging pain, and under the strong force, the embroidery needle pierced the palm. Fortunately, after being blocked, the force was weakened and only penetrated half an inch into the temple and did not reach the brain.

"Ah."

Although he failed to achieve success in the end, he had already exposed Lu Nanxing's weaknesses. A slight smile appeared on Dongfang Bubai's lips.

She picked up the embroidery needle again and looked at Lu Nanxing like a poisonous snake.

Lu Nanxing pulled out the embroidery needle in his hand and broke it, frowning with an extremely serious expression. The next fight would probably be even more dangerous.

"Ok?"

Just when both parties were tense, they were suddenly startled and looked to the side out of the corner of their eyes.

I saw a figure appearing in the wilderness in the distance, running towards this side.

Lu Nanxing instantly showed joy on his face, but Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly.

The man was extremely fast and arrived in front of him in a moment. It was Ren Woxing!
"It's really you."

Dongfang Bubai's eyes turned cold, and then he smiled again.

"Master Ren, we meet again."

"Yes, twelve years!"

Ren Woxing looked at Dongfang Bubai with eyes full of resentment.

He was imprisoned in a dungeon under the West Lake and never saw the light of day for twelve years!

After escaping, this was the first time he met Dongfang Bubai and he was extremely jealous.

"Are you resenting me?"

Dongfang Bubai, however, had a calm expression on his face and spoke lightly.

"I thought you were a sensible hero, but you are so foolish. The winner takes all, that's the way it is in the world. I won but I didn't kill you, letting you live out your life in peace. Even if you are not grateful, how can you still hate me?"

"Grateful?" Ren Woxing was so angry that he laughed, and his eyes almost spit fire.

"You imprisoned me in a dungeon and made my life worse than death for twelve years, and yet you still speak so righteously!"

Dongfang Bubai shook his head slightly, seemingly quite disappointed with Ren Woxing.

Lu Nanxing was listening, smacking his lips slightly, feeling strange.

At that time, Ren Woxing was still the leader, but Dongfang Bubai developed too fast, which made him feel threatened. That's why he gave the Sunflower Manual to Dongfang Bubai, in order to buy time for him to practice the Star Absorbing Technique.

But unfortunately, the Star-Absorbing Art was ultimately no match for the Sunflower Manual. Although both of them had just mastered their magical powers, Ren Woxing was still defeated by Dongfang Bubai.

The winner takes it all, and the loser takes it all. That's true.

If it were Lu Nanxing, he would have killed Ren Woxing once and for all. However, Dongfang Bubai spent manpower and resources to imprison him, which is really puzzling.

Is it really because of old friendship?

"Master Ren."

Dongfang Bubai spoke again and said directly.

"The Holy Church is in need of people right now. If you are willing to return, I can appoint you as the deputy leader. After I die, I will let you take over the position of leader again."

"I bother!"

What he said to Dongfang Bubai back then, Dongfang Bubai actually said it to him again twelve years later.

It was clearly Dongfang Bubai who usurped his position as the leader, but now he has turned around and appointed him as the deputy leader, as if he were giving him alms.

It is said that after Dongfang Bubai's death, he will succeed him as the leader. He is much older than Dongfang Bubai, and after twelve years of suffering in the dungeon, Ren Woxing's health is no longer as good as before. How could it be possible that Dongfang Bubai died before him?

"I see."

After hearing this, Lu Nanxing suddenly understood.

No wonder Dongfang Bubai didn’t kill Ren Woxing. It turned out that it was not because of their old friendship, but because he wanted to subdue Ren Woxing!
Although Dongfang Bubai's martial arts are the best in the world, there are still top masters in the world such as Master Fangzheng, Feng Qingyang, and Taoist Chongxu.

If a group of people attacked him, he might not be able to escape unscathed.

But if they could subdue Ren Woxing, with their martial arts skills, they would be able to sweep the world.

By then, it will truly be 'unifying the world for eternity'!
Dongfang Bubai is indeed a terrifying and ambitious person.

Moreover, he actually wanted to subdue Ren Woxing, which showed his courage beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Sure enough, the title of No. 1 in the world is not undeserved.

"That's fine."

Dongfang Bubai sighed lightly and looked at Ren Woxing with a suddenly gloomy expression.

"Since I can capture you once, I can capture you twice. Since you have not submitted to me for twelve years, why not take another twelve years!"

As soon as he finished speaking, an embroidery needle shot out and headed straight for Ren Woxing.

"Dog thief!"

Ren Woxing was furious, but he didn't dare to take Ren Woxing's embroidery needle head-on, so he quickly raised his sword to block.

Ren Woxing is also a martial arts genius of the time, proficient in all kinds of fists, kicks and weapons. Under normal circumstances, a pair of bare hands would be enough. But facing Dongfang Bubai's embroidery needle, he had to pick up a sword.

Knowing how powerful Dongfang Bubai was, after blocking the needle, Ren Woxing immediately rushed forward, which was also a strategy to curb Dongfang Bubai's initiative.

Lu Nanxing had a serious expression. Although he started a little late, he was the first to pounce on Dongfang Bubai.

Before, he was alone and was no match for Dongfang Bubai. Now with Ren Woxing, he may be able to win!
"Master Lu, you and I have no history, so don't blame me for being ruthless."

Dongfang Bubai's face was gloomy. He attacked Lu Nanxing at the same time, still aiming directly at his vital point between the eyebrows.

Although Dongfang Bubai is ambitious, with his martial arts skills, as long as he has Ren Woxing's help, he is enough to unify the martial arts world without the help of anyone else.

Furthermore, unlike Ren Woxing, Lu Nanxing is too young!
Youth means infinite possibilities. Lu Nanxing already has such great martial arts skills now. If he is given more time, he will be able to achieve even greater things.

Take Lu Nanxing for his own use? I am afraid that by then, Lu Nanxing will become the next Dongfang Bubai, and he will be the next Ren Woxing.

"Kill him if you can!"

Lu Nanxing's face was as gloomy as water. He fully deployed his Sky-tearing Claws and attacked Dongfang Bubai frantically.

If you want to limit Dongfang Bubai's first move, if you don't have enough people, you have to fight hard. Otherwise, with Dongfang Bubai's speed, he won't be affected at all.

Fortunately, Lu Nanxing is lucky enough.

Only by fighting so hard can Dongfang Bubai be afraid.

Lu Nanxing tried his best to attract Dongfang Bubai's attention so that Ren Woxing could take advantage of the opportunity.

Both of them are half a step away from the top, but facing the best in the world, Dongfang Bubai, there is still a gap, and conventional fighting methods will not work.

"interesting."

Seeing through Lu Nanxing's thoughts, Dongfang Bubai was not afraid at all.

Although 90% of his attention was on Lu Nanxing, even just 10% would be enough to deal with Ren Woxing.

With Ren Woxing's martial arts, he is not one-tenth less capable than Dongfang Bubai. It all depends on his speed.

On the one hand, he used light Kung Fu to keep a distance from Ren Woxing, and on the other hand, he kept shooting embroidery needles to block him. In this way, even Ren Woxing would find it difficult to get close to Dongfang Bubai for a while, so how could he pose a threat to him?

"hateful!"

After a short while, dozens of moves were exchanged, but they were useless to Dongfang Bubai. Instead, Lu Nanxing was given several injections.

Lu Nanxing cursed inwardly and frowned again.

It would be fine if he was pricked with a few needles, but the key point was that when facing Dongfang Bubai, his true identity had been seen through, and if he was not careful, his life might be in danger.

You only have one life, so you must be cautious.

Thinking of this, Lu Nanxing immediately adjusted his strategy, taking defense into consideration and no longer blindly attacking.

"Ah."

The pressure from Lu Nanxing suddenly decreased, Dongfang Bubai sneered, then his eyes suddenly became cold, and he freed his hands to deal with Ren Woxing!

For a moment, Ren Woxing felt a sudden increase in pressure and his face turned bitter.

He couldn't blame Lu Nanxing for this. After all, Lu Nanxing had tried his best to create an opportunity for him. It was his own fault that he failed to hurt Dongfang Bubai.

He could only resist Dongfang Bubai's offensive while secretly complaining and feeling frustrated.

Twelve years later, although he was imprisoned, he had already mastered the Star-Absorbing Art and thought he could fight against Dongfang Bubai.

Who would have thought that Dongfang Bubai, who had mastered the Book of the Sunflower, would become even more terrifying!
Even if he joined forces with Lu Nanxing at this time, he would still be no match for Dongfang Bubai.

This won’t work. Ren Woxing glanced at Lu Nanxing, who nodded slightly.

"Want to capture me? Dream on!"

Ren Woxing understood and shouted loudly, but he was no longer in a hurry to attack, but focused more on defense.

Although the two are no match for Dongfang Bubai, they can form a defensive position when working together. If Dongfang Bubai wants to defeat them, it will not be possible in a short time.

In this way, the two sides moved northward while fighting fiercely.

Boom! Crash!

A sound like muffled thunder was heard from above. As the sound got closer, a huge river was seen stretching across the land.

Lu Nanxing was slightly stunned. He didn't expect that he could fight all the way from Mount Tai to the Yellow River.
