Sword from Songshan

Chapter 176: Life is not up to one's will, death is not up to one's will

His heart was pierced, Jabu's eyes opened wide, his face was full of fear and unwillingness, and he fell to the ground dejectedly.

Master Dingyi retracted her sword, supported herself on the ground and managed to stand, spitting blood from her mouth. Although she was seriously injured, she won in the end.

"Won!"

"Great!"

At this time, everyone had just come to their senses, and there was cheering in the Five Mountains Sword Sect.

In fact, no matter at the beginning or during the competition, no one was optimistic about Master Dingyi.

Unexpectedly, Master Dingyi won.

I was excited and admired at the same time. Master Dingyi is indeed a pillar of righteousness!

"Master!"

In contrast, the Hengshan School disciples were more worried about Master Dingyi's injuries, and rushed forward to support her.

Yiqing had already taken out the Baiyun Bear Bile Pill and put it into Master Dingyi's mouth.

Afterwards, with the help of everyone, Master Dingyi slowly walked back.

He was seriously injured at this time and could no longer sit on the armchair. He had to sit on the ground, releasing the power of the medicine while practicing internal energy to heal his wounds.

"A bunch of trash!"

At the side of the Sun and Moon Sect, Ren Woxing's face turned grim as he looked at the recovered body of Jabu.

First there was the bloodbath at the hands of Dongfang Bubai, and then the disappearance of Lu Nanxing and Zuo Lengchan. In Ren Woxing's opinion, apart from Yue Buqun, the Five Mountains Sword Sect no longer had any other masters who could hold their own.

He was full of confidence in this competition and won all five games.

Who would have thought that the two matches would end in a draw and a loss!
"If anyone loses in the following competition, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

There are five matches in total, and the remaining three cannot be lost, Ren Woxing's voice was cold.

The remaining masters at the back couldn't help but tremble, with a hint of panic in their eyes.

This competition was a matter of life and death. If you lose, you will die, but you can't just think of dying. Who doesn't have family? According to Ren Woxing's words, it's clear that they will be punished together.

Thinking of their wives and children, even the elders of the Sun and Moon Sect couldn't help but feel terrified.

"Shangguan Yun."

In panic, Ren Woxing spoke again.

"……Yes!"

Shangguan Yun was slightly startled, then responded and stepped out.

Although the pressure is quite high, there are no other masters in the Five Mountains Sword Sect except Yue Buqun.

With his martial arts skills, winning this battle is no problem.

In this way, rather than being a disaster, it is a great opportunity to make meritorious service.

Thinking of this, Shangguan Yun took a deep breath and stood with his head held high.

He clasped his fists towards the Five Mountains Sword Sect and shouted in a deep voice.

"Who wants to fight me?"

Yue Buqun looked around and saw only four empty chairs, then glanced back.

Except for Linghu Chong, everyone else either lowered their heads or avoided him.

He lowered his head because he thought he was no match for Shangguan Yun and felt ashamed. He avoided because he didn't want to be chosen by Yue Buqun and become the scapegoat.

Yue Buqun shook his head slightly and then stood up.

"Then let me teach you some tricks."

"……you!"

Shangguan Yun, who had a defiant look on his face just now, suddenly opened his eyes wide and stood there in a daze.

Not only Shangguan Yun, but everyone from the Sun Moon Sect and the Five Mountains Sword Sect were all dumbfounded.

Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu, who were witnesses, were slightly stunned and then looked away.

As the saying goes, king versus king, general versus general. At this time, the Five Mountains Sword Sect was led by Yue Buqun, so he should naturally compete with Ren Woxing.

To challenge Shangguan Yun at this time, isn't this cheating?
"shameless!"

"Despicable! Shameless!"

When I came to my senses, I saw a barrage of abuse from the Sun and Moon Sect.

Being pointed at and scolded by the Demon Cult, there were only a few voices from the Five Mountains Sword Sect fighting back, while the vast majority of people lowered their heads in shame.

Yue Buqun's behavior was really unmannerly.

For a moment, everyone was confused again. Is this still the Gentleman Sword from back then?
Ever since the Five Mountains united their factions, Yue Buqun's repeated unexpected actions were not only ungentlemanly, but actually villainous.

"Yue Buqun! Your opponent is me!"

Ren Woxing spoke, his face looking particularly gloomy.

"Hehe, why does it have to be you?"

Yue Buqun smiled and said slowly.

"We only agreed to five duels, but we didn't say who would duel with whom."

"you……"

Ren Woxing was speechless for a moment. It was indeed true.

King versus king, general versus general, this is just the default and not stated in advance.

Although Yue Buqun's behavior was shameless, it did not violate the rules.

"Since you are on the field, I will be your opponent!"

Ren Woxing shouted coldly and stood up immediately.

"No."

Unexpectedly, Yue Buqun raised his hand and sneered.

"Since you have already sent Shangguan Yun to the stage, how can you replace him at the last minute? We made an agreement before the competition that once we go on stage, it will be a fight to the death!"

"you……"

This was indeed agreed upon in advance, and it was Yue Buqun who took the initiative to propose it.

Ren Woxing's eyes widened, and only then he realized that he had fallen into Yue Buqun's trap!

It turned out that this was his plan from the very beginning.

Yes, the Five Mountains Sword Sect today is far inferior to the Sun Moon Sect in terms of masters. How can they win without using some tricks?
In fact, Yue Buqun had planned it before.

He won a match himself, and let Liu Zhengfeng know the relationship between Qu Yang. As long as Qu Yang was soft-hearted and held back, he could also win the next match. In this way, as long as he fought in the next match, the Wuyue Sword Sect would win the competition.

Unexpectedly, under the pressure, Liu Zhengfeng was still unwilling to take action against Qu Yang, and both of them committed suicide.

Fortunately, at the critical moment, Master Dingyi turned the tide and actually defeated Jabu.

In this way, the Five Mountains Sword Sect now has one draw and one win. As long as he wins one more game, he will be undefeated!

"The head of Huashan, Yue Buqun, is here to learn from the Eagle Hero's skills."

This is the rule. Yue Buqun smiled lightly and stood on the stage, bowing to Shangguan Yun.

Shangguan Yun frowned and turned to look at Ren Woxing.

Ren Woxing's face was extremely gloomy, but according to the agreed rules, he really couldn't refute Yue Buqun at this time.

He only hated himself for being too confident and careless. He always sent people to the stage first, which gave Yue Buqun the opportunity to seize the opportunity and plot his conspiracy.

"Hmph~!"

After a moment of hesitation, Ren Woxing suddenly sneered.

Even so, what can we do!
Then he looked at Shangguan Yun and shouted in a deep voice.

"Victory is the only option!"

"I obey my orders!"

Shangguan Yun frowned, but didn't say much.

He turned to Yue Buqun again and shouted.

"I will teach you Master Yue's skills!"

Although there was controversy, it was already like this, and the disciples of both sides stopped talking and focused their attention on the stage.

Although Yue Buqun is shameless, Shangguan Yun is known as the Eagle Knight. As the current Right Protector of Light of the Sun Moon Sect, he is also a master of the time and may not necessarily lose to Yue Buqun.

Bang~!

While everyone was thinking about it, there was a sharp sound, and the swords collided, and the two sides had already started fighting.

Just as everyone expected, Shangguan Yun, as one of the top three masters of the Sun Moon Sect, had reached the pinnacle in both his skills and swordsmanship. Moreover, under the pressure of Ren Woxing, he was ready to fight for his life. The threat of a top master fighting for his life was imaginable, and Yue Buqun could not gain any advantage for a while.

"it is good!"

Ren Woxing shouted loudly with a look of satisfaction on his face.

"The Right Envoy of Light is mighty!"

The people of the Sun and Moon Sect waved their flags and cheered.

On the contrary, the momentum of the Five Mountains Sword Sect was much weaker. After all, Yue Buqun had been scheming before, so no matter what the outcome of this battle was, they always felt that they were in the wrong.

Shangguan Yun's attack was fierce and fast. In a blink of an eye, he had already launched more than twenty moves, but they were all resolved by Yue Buqun.

Although he was an opponent, he had to admit in his heart that Yue Buqun's swordsmanship had indeed reached perfection.

Even he himself was not sure he could crack these moves, but Yue Buqun not only did it, but also looked extremely easy.

Although he was surprised by Yue Buqun's swordsmanship, Shangguan Yun was not discouraged and prepared to continue his attack.

Even if I am not my opponent, the worst that can happen is I will risk my life. Even if I cannot defeat the strong with the weak like Master Dingyi did, I will still go for a one-for-one!

In this way, at least the family can be saved.

"Is that all you can do?"

Seeing that Shangguan Yun's moves were becoming more and more fierce, Yue Buqun was not afraid at all. Instead, he smiled slightly.

His eyes turned cold and he suddenly changed his tactics.

Compared with the grand and upright swordsmanship just now, the moves at this time became agile and fierce, and only attacked and did not defend, it was the Nine Swords of Dugu!
"This is...not good!"

Once Yue Buqun used the Dugu Nine Swords, Shangguan Yun instantly felt a lot of pressure.

After just a few moves, a layer of cold sweat broke out on his forehead.

But for the sake of his family, he could not lose this battle even if he died, so he still tried his best to resist.

"This is the Dugu Nine Swords..."

Ren Woxing sat there, watching Yue Buqun's swordsmanship on the field, his eyes slightly narrowed.

It was indeed shameless for Yue Buqun to come on stage early, but at the same time, it also gave Ren Woxing a chance to carefully observe the Dugu Nine Swords.

In his early years, he had seen Feng Qingyang's Dugu Nine Swords, but at that time he had not yet mastered the magical power and his swordsmanship was not at that level. He only felt that it was unfathomable and had only a partial understanding of it.

When he escaped from the predicament and returned to the martial world, he learned that the Dugu Nine Swords had a successor, but he did not have the chance to take a closer look.

It was only until this moment that we were able to get a glimpse of the truth.

While watching, I was thinking about how to crack it.

Swish~!

After only a dozen moves, Yue Buqun swung his sword upwards, and Shangguan Yun could no longer defend himself. A piece of flesh was cut off his shoulder, revealing the bone, and blood immediately flowed out.

The people from the Sun Moon Sect, who had been waving their flags and cheering loudly just now, couldn't help but pause.

Although Shangguan Yun is a martial arts master, he is ultimately no match for Yue Buqun.

"Good swordsmanship!"

The Five Mountains Sword Sect felt guilty when they saw Yue Buqun had the upper hand.

Especially the sword strike just now, which was so exquisite that I forgot everything else for a moment and couldn't help but shout out in admiration.

"Hmph~!"

Ren Woxing frowned and his face became gloomy again.

Even if Shangguan Yun didn't see it, he knew Ren Woxing's expression. He gritted his teeth, ignored the wound on his shoulder, and rushed forward again with a knife.

Since Yue Buqun's Dugu Nine Swords is for attack instead of defense, then he will only attack and not defend!

At worst, they’ll exchange their lives!

Shangguan Yun, knowing full well that he was no match for his opponent, completely disregarded his own safety and aimed every strike of his sword directly at Yue Buqun's vital points.

"Ok?"

Yue Buqun frowned and immediately restrained his moves.

Everyone can fight to the death, but as Shangguan Yun is one of the world's top fighters, he is even more terrifying when he fights for his life.

After all, Yue Buqun had not yet mastered the Dugu Nine Swords to a deep level, so he was unable to break his swordsmanship with a single sword.

In the following fight between the two, although Yue Buqun still had the upper hand, he could not win for a while.

As a result, this competition, which originally had no suspense, actually lasted for more than an hour!

Although Shangguan Yun fought with his life, he was ultimately no match for Yue Buqun. In the end, he was covered in wounds, lost too much blood, and was exhausted. He was killed by Yue Buqun with a sword piercing his throat.

"Your death is of some value, so I will spare the lives of your family members."

After taking a look at Shangguan Yun's body, Ren Woxing said lightly.

Although he lost the battle, Shangguan Yun and Yue Buqun fought for more than an hour, allowing Ren Woxing to get a glimpse of the Dugu Nine Swords!
Yue Buqun sat back down, breathed a sigh of relief, and a hint of pride appeared on his face.

Three out of five competitions were held, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect had two wins and one draw, which means they are already undefeated!
"Don't be too happy too soon, the competition is not over yet."

Ren Woxing snorted coldly and said to Yue Buqun.

"For the next two competitions, you will send someone to the stage first."

"it is good."

Yue Buqun nodded with a slight smile on his face.

There are only these last two games left, and most of the masters who are supposed to perform have already performed. What’s the point of deciding who sends people to the stage first?

"Master!"

On the Five Mountains Sword Sect side, the three leaders had already competed, and Linghu Chong spoke from behind.

"I will let my disciple take part in the fourth match!"

"With so many elders from the five sects here, there's no way it's your turn!"

Yue Buqun shouted but refused directly.

In the past few months, the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the Sun Moon Divine Sect have fought more than a dozen battles of varying sizes, and Linghu Chong has shined!

Some people even say that the voice of a young phoenix is ​​clearer than that of an old phoenix, and that Linghu Chong's Dugu Nine Swords is actually better than Yue Buqun's.

Yue Buqun was very concerned about this.

If Linghu Chong were given another chance to show up at this time, wouldn't his position be further shaken?
In the past, the Huashan Sect had very few members and he was the only one who had the final say.

But it is different now. Feng Buping and the other two are accepted as disciples again, and more disciples are recruited. Factional disputes are gradually showing signs of emerging.

What's more, his ambition is far more than this. Thinking about the future, he needs to suppress Linghu Chong even more!

Then, Yue Buqun looked towards the Songshan Sect behind him.

"There are five competitions, and each of the five sects should send one person. Everyone from the Songshan Sect, please send one person to the stage."

"This……"

Hearing this, everyone from Songshan Sect looked extremely unhappy.

After all, there are only two games left. Even if the fourth game is not Ren Woxing, he must be the top master of the Sun Moon Sect!

With the current Songshan Sect, no matter who is sent into battle, it would be tantamount to sending themselves to death.

"The three mountains of Hengshan in the south, Hengshan in the north, and Huashan have already competed. It is indeed time for us, Songshan, to make a contribution."

Tang Ying'e, the acting head, spoke, but turned to Le Hou next to him.

"Brother Le, if there is anyone in Songshan Sect who can win this game, it must be you!"

"..."

Le Hou was silent for a while, his face grim, but he did not refute and walked out.

Everyone knows that the remaining two games are almost a death sentence, and who would be willing to die?

But sometimes, you have to die.

Zuo Lengchan is missing, blind, and has gone crazy. There is no point in finding him even if he is found.

The Songshan Sect today has reached the point where it needs to make a radical change.

Whenever this happens, there is bound to be a fight.

Unfortunately, Le Hou lost this fight.

The winner is the king and the loser is the bandit. Now he has no right to choose.

This time, even if he died, at least he could protect his family and descendants, and leave a good reputation.

"The Great Yin-Yang Master of Songshan Sect, Le Hou! Which demon from the evil sect is coming up to the stage to be killed!"

Thinking of this, Le Hou, who was already standing in the center, raised his head and chest and shouted loudly.
