Sword from Songshan

Chapter 175 Sword Discussing in Huashan
Early morning, the top of Mount Huashan.

Five hundred people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun and Moon Divine Sect formed a circle, and the competition officially began.

Witnessed by Master Fang Zheng and Taoist Chongxu, the competition is divided into five rounds. A contract is signed before going on stage. This competition will determine the winner and also decide life and death!
"Elder Qu."

Ren Woxing sat on the left, with a group of Sun Moon Sect masters including Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian standing behind him. He looked coldly at the Five Mountains Sword Sect opposite him and gave an order.

"This first game will be yours."

"Yes."

Qu Yang responded without any hesitation and walked to the middle of the stage.

After standing still, he bowed and clasped his hands together, then said with a smile.

"Qu Yang is here, who wants to partner with me?"

On the Five Mountains Sword Sect side, there were five chairs, two of which were empty, and the other three were occupied by Yue Buqun, Master Dingyi, and Liu Zhengfeng.

Yue Buqun looked at Liu Zhengfeng beside him and did not say anything, but his meaning was clear enough.

In fact, Liu Zhengfeng had already stood up without waiting for Yue Buqun's signal.

"Since Brother Qu has already appeared, how can I be missing?"

After the Hengshan City's retreat from the underworld, it was already known to everyone in the martial arts world that Liu Zhengfeng and the Demon Cult elder Qu Yang became sworn brothers.

But the matter has been exposed, and the Songshan Sect has not said anything anymore. Who among the others would be so tactless as to say more and offend Liu Zhengfeng for no reason?

At this time and in this situation, when both sides were fighting to the death, Liu Zhengfeng actually called Qu Yang "big brother", which instantly made everyone in Wuyue feel uncomfortable, and many people even glared at Liu Zhengfeng directly.

"Brother Liu."

Seeing Liu Zhengfeng coming up, Qu Yang greeted him again with a slight smile on his face.

"Brother Qu."

Liu Zhengfeng returned the greeting, still addressing him as brother, and also with a smile on his face.

Looking at the two of them, how could they be fighting to the death? If you didn't know, you would think they were getting married.

For a moment, people on both sides were murmuring to themselves, wondering if the two of them were hiding something.

For example, if you hold back on purpose, the result will be a draw and no one will lose their life.

Thinking of this, the faces of many people, whether from the Sun Moon Sect or the Five Mountains Sword Sect, turned gloomy.

If this is true, they absolutely cannot agree to it!

In contrast, Ren Woxing and Yue Buqun still sat upright, with no trace of emotion on their faces.

"please."

Qu Yang said this calmly, then took off the long cloth bag from his back.

This cloth bag was at least three or four feet long and nearly a foot wide. It was definitely not an ordinary sword. It was very conspicuous when carried on the back. Everyone had speculated before that it might be some kind of strange weapon.

Seeing Qu Yang opening the cloth bag, everyone was shocked and couldn't help but open their eyes wide.

"……This is!"

But when the bundle was opened, to everyone's surprise, what appeared was not a weapon, but a harp!

Qu Yang was seen sitting cross-legged on the ground with the guqin placed on his knees.

Buzz~!

He reached out to try the piano sound and nodded slightly.

"please."

Liu Zhengfeng also said something, but took out a long flute from his arms.

"This this……"

Everyone was so surprised that they were speechless for a long time.

In a life-and-death duel, why did the two of them not take out weapons but instead took out musical instruments?

Even Ren Woxing and Yue Buqun, who had been sitting firmly before, frowned slightly at this moment.

Could it be? It was a martial art like sonic waves, and the two wanted to test their internal strength with music?

Buzz~!

When everyone was suspicious, the sound of piano started, and Qu Yang began to play the piano.

Liu Zhengfeng stood aside with an intoxicated look on his face. After a moment, the sound of the flute also rang out.

One of them played the piano while the other played the flute. The two notes were sometimes high and sometimes low, with ups and downs, extremely complex and varied, yet so harmonious. The piano and flute ensemble was even better than the harmony of the zither and the harp.

Everyone present, regardless of whether they understood the music or not, could not help but be intoxicated by it. It was so pleasant to the ears that it might linger in the ears for three days.

"This is wrong!"

Soon, someone came to his senses.

Although I have never heard this song before, it is just a simple piece of music. There is no mystery in it, let alone the idea of ​​using music to compete with internal strength.

In other words, the original fight between life and death turned into a duet between Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng!
The key point is that these people gathered here not to listen to music.

Everyone was indignant and couldn't help but talk about it.

But no matter how noisy the crowd was, Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng were not affected. They just played the piano and the flute, as if they were completely immersed in each other's music.

"Great song, wonderful."

Among the thousands of people, only a few were still listening attentively. Ren Yingying followed the rhythm slightly and admired them secretly.

"All right!"

"Stop!"

After a while, Ren Woxing and Yue Buqun finally couldn't hold back anymore and shouted loudly.

But both Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng ignored it and continued to play.

Being ignored in public, Ren Woxing and Yue Buqun both had gloomy faces. They stood up and were about to step forward to stop it themselves.

At this moment, the music stopped and the two people's performance just ended.

"carefree!"

"Ha ha!"

The two looked at each other and laughed out loud.

But the next moment, the laughter stopped abruptly, Liu Zhengfeng fell to the ground, and Qu Yang's head also drooped.

"……this?"

Everyone looked at each other again, not knowing what exactly had happened.

It was not until two Shaolin disciples came forward to check that they discovered that both of them were dead.

After singing the song "Swordsman", the two men cut their own meridians and died!

"them……"

Seeing the two men being carried down and their bodies lying on the ground, everyone felt as if a ball of cotton was stuffed in their throats, unable to breathe freely.

Many people cannot understand Qu Yang and Liu Zhengfeng's choices.

A small number of people seem to have some feelings, but they are not real.

At this moment, the piano and flute performance just now, as well as the two people's laughter before their death, were still echoing in everyone's mind.

"If I had known this, I would have killed you long ago!"

Taking a look at Qu Yang's body on the ground, Ren Woxing's eyes turned fierce, then his face turned gloomy, and he shouted again.

"Jabu, you play next game."

"Yes."

A man with a sallow complexion stepped out in response.

The Yellow-Faced Venerable Jiabu is one of the elders of the Sun Moon Sect and the head of the Azure Dragon Hall. Like the Eagle Knight Shangguan Yun, they are both very powerful and prominent figures in the Sun Moon Sect.

After Dongfang Bubai's death, Ren Woxing returned and he was the first to lead his people in surrender.

Likewise, in terms of martial arts, Jiabu is also extremely powerful, even better than ordinary gang leaders and gang leaders.

Jia Bu was arranged to go on stage in the second match, and the Five Mountains Sword Sects on the opposite side all had serious expressions.

It seems that Qu Yang's failure to win the first game made Ren Woxing extremely angry, and he was determined to win the second game.

"Master Dingyi." Although they had never fought, he had heard that ordinary masters were no match for Jia Bu. Yue Buqun looked to the other side and spoke directly.

"This battle depends on you. We, the righteous people, must not lose to the evil sect!"

"rest assured."

Master Dingyi snorted coldly, stood up and walked to the stage.

Seeing Master Dingyi, Jia Bu sneered and looked disdainful. Master Dingyi, on the other hand, had a sharp gaze and a face full of hatred for evil.

Unlike the first match, the atmosphere was tense even before the two of them even started fighting.

For a moment, everyone couldn't help but become nervous. This was bound to be a life-and-death fight!
"Death!"

Just when everyone was wondering how the two would engage in a verbal battle, Jia Bu shouted softly and rushed towards Master Dingyi.

Holding a pair of iron judge's pens in his hands, he pointed directly at two major acupoints of Master Dingyi.

Ding ding~!

Nun Dingyi reacted extremely quickly, and drew her sword. With two smooth and flowing sword strikes, she blocked Judge Jiabu's pen.

"mean!"

"Shameless!"

It was not until this time that everyone came to their senses, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect began to curse and denounce Jia Bu.

They are all masters who have been famous for a long time. Even if good and evil cannot coexist, they should have basic etiquette before fighting. They say they will not drag their feet, but in fact, there is a hint of sneak attack in it.

Fortunately, Master Dingyi reacted quickly, otherwise she would have suffered a great loss.

Jia Bu didn't care at all about the condemnation of the people from the Five Mountains. With a cold look in his eyes, he attacked Master Dingyi with all his strength.

In contrast, Master Dingyi was constantly on the defensive and seemed to be at a disadvantage.

Among the Five Mountains Sword Sects today, in terms of martial arts, Master Dingyi has few rivals except Yue Buqun.

But Jiabu is no ordinary master. As an elder and part-time hall master of the Sun and Moon Sect, his martial arts skills are not inferior to Shangguan Yun.

But a few years ago, Master Dingyi was no match for Shangguan Yun.

"Master! Hold on!"

Watching the competition on the field, the people from the Five Mountains couldn't help but become nervous, especially the disciples of the Hengshan School, who were all worried.

Fortunately, Hengshan swordsmanship is good at defense. Although Shangguan Yun's attack was strong, Master Dingyi was still able to hold on.

But a few masters have already realized that if this continues, Master Dingyi will definitely lose!
Regardless of the level of each side's moves, as first-class masters, the difference is actually not that big.

The key point is that Shangguan Yun's internal strength is greater than that of Master Dingyi, and his pair of judge's pens are extremely heavy. Although Master Dingyi blocked every attack, she also consumed a lot of energy.

If this continues, either Master Dingyi will run out of energy or her sword will be knocked away.

In either case, you lose.

If I lose this competition, I will lose my life.

"Hmph! Let's see how long you can hold on!"

Shangguan Yun was naturally aware of this, and with a sneer on his face, he wrote with his pen as fast as the wind and as dense as rain, but his moves were not chaotic at all, as he was preparing to drag down Master Dingyi.

"The Yellow-faced Venerable does have some tricks, but I am not someone you can easily bully!"

They were retreating step by step, and seeing that there was a wall of people behind them, Master Dingyi's face suddenly turned cold, and she shouted loudly, suddenly changing her tactics.

The previous defensive stance was no longer there, and the entire position switched to the offensive, and it was extremely radical and fierce.

Jiabu's Judge's Pen was heavy, while Master Dingyi's long sword was light. The more she fought, the harder it became to block the Judge's Pen with the long sword. But now she turned from defense to offense, using the long sword's swift and sharp characteristics, and the Judge's Pen was unable to keep up because of its heavy weight.

Jabu, who had the upper hand just now, was suddenly stretched to the limit and had to respond hastily.

"This……"

Everyone who saw this change was surprised, including Ren Woxing and Yue Buqun.

"This sword technique?"

Then he came to his senses and looked at Master Dingyi's swordsmanship again, frowning slightly again.

The Hengshan School's swordsmanship is mainly defensive, but this set is mostly offensive. Judging from the characteristics of the moves, it is indeed the Hengshan School's swordsmanship, but I have never seen it before.

It’s not that they are narrow-minded, but that this set of sword skills has never been shown in front of others.

Nun Dingyi had a tough and hot temper, which actually made her unsuitable for the Hengshan swordsmanship, which was mainly defensive and at best a hidden weapon. So no matter how hard she practiced, it was still difficult for her to reach the highest level of Hengshan swordsmanship.

Master Dingyi was also quite upset about this.

It was not until she saw the martial arts in the stone cave of Siguo Cliff that she realized that Hengshan swordsmanship did not necessarily focus on defense, but could also be used for offense instead of defense!
After that, he spent a lot of time and energy studying the offensive Hengshan swordsmanship, especially during a period of time in Huangshan, where he had many exchanges with Lu Nanxing and benefited a lot from them, and thus he developed the current set of swordsmanship.

It's just that the time is still short and it's not mature yet, so I haven't used it on others. After all, not everyone is as good as Lu Nanxing, and it takes several years to hone the sword skills before they can be gradually perfected.

But now that she was forced into a corner by Jia Bu, Master Dingyi had to use this sword technique to give it a try.

"Although this sword technique is somewhat interesting, I'm afraid it's not yet perfect."

Jia Bu was a master at that time, and as expected, after fighting for more than ten rounds, he saw through his opponent's true colors.

He no longer used panic moves. He would parry while calmly looking for opportunities.

This imperfect sword technique is very prone to mistakes, and once caught, the consequences are often extremely serious.

"watch out!"

Sure enough, after a few more moves, Jabu saw a flaw, shouted softly, and poked it directly.

Tsk~!

Although Master Dingyi dodged as quickly as possible, she was ultimately unable to avoid the attack completely. Although she was not fatally injured, her shoulder was cut and blood was immediately gushing out.

"Hehe~!"

The attack was successful, just as expected, and Jabu felt more confident, with a sneer on his face.

Looking at the people around, the Sun Moon Sect had a proud look on their faces, while the Five Mountains Sword Sect had worried expressions on their faces, especially the Hengshan Sect disciples, who clenched their fists and had nervous faces.

Master Dingyi glanced at the wound on her shoulder with a gloomy expression.

She originally wanted to try her luck, but now it seems that she was too dreamy. Facing a master like Jabu, how could she just try her luck?

"Hmph~!"

Thinking of this, Master Dingyi snorted coldly and her face suddenly became serious.

Since we can't rely on luck, we'll just have to try our best!

With a slight shake of the sword, Master Dingyi stabbed at Jia Bu again.

Jia Bu believed that he had already seen through Master Dingyi's moves, so he was not in a hurry and easily blocked it with the Judge's Pen.

The first sword strike failed, so Master Dingyi struck again, still aiming directly at Jia Bu's vital points.

Jabu still looked relaxed and dodged the sword by leaning sideways.

But then, Master Dingyi only attacked and did not defend. Each sword was faster than the last, and each sword was more ferocious than the last, like a poisonous snake with a head but no tail!

When he received the seventh sword, Jabu realized that something was wrong.

At this time, he has two choices. One is to continue blocking, but if he continues like this, Master Dingyi's next sword will still be aimed at his vital points, and it will be more fierce, until he can't take it.

Secondly, he stopped retreating blindly and took the offensive to interrupt Master Dingyi's chain swords.

But in this way, although he was sure to seriously injure or even kill Master Dingyi, he himself would inevitably be in danger.

Jabu was in a dilemma and was undecided for a moment.

"……not good!"

But as soon as he hesitated, Master Dingyi attacked him with two consecutive swords. He barely blocked the eighth and ninth swords. The tenth sword came again, but this time it was difficult to resist.

Only then did Jabu come to his senses and cried out in his heart, "Oh no!"

There was no choice now. He threw a judge's pen at Master Dingyi with all his might and blocked it with another one.

Bang~!

With a dull sound, the heavy judge's pen hit Master Dingyi's Danzhong acupoint!
Master Dingyi felt a sweet taste in her throat and her face turned pale instantly, but she did not pause at all, and her moves became even more ferocious and fierce.

Sizzle~! Puff~!

The sword tip scratched the Judge's Pen, sparking a spark, and finally pierced straight into Jabu's chest.
