Sword from Songshan

Chapter 70 The Supreme Being
Time flies. In a blink of an eye, more than two months have passed and we have already entered winter from autumn.

There is only one month left until the end of the year!

Dang Dang Dang~!

In the Fuwei Escort Agency's martial arts training ground, the ear-piercing sounds of metal colliding were dense and rapid, like rain hitting the eaves. Lu Nanxing and Lin Zhennan were fighting fiercely.

After practicing the sword manual for two months, Lin Zhennan's martial arts skills can only be described as improving by leaps and bounds.

Although he was still inferior to Lu Nanxing in terms of internal strength, he had already surpassed him in swordsmanship. With his strange and complicated sword skills, he beat Lu Nanxing so hard that he could only defend himself.

Lu Nanxing guessed that Lin Zhennan had already entered the top third tier, and with the potential of the Exorcism Sword, if he was given another year or two, he would be able to enter the second tier.

If he could continue to practice in seclusion for another ten years to accumulate inner strength, he would surely become a top-notch expert in the martial arts world!

Turning a second-rate person into a top master, the Exorcism Sword Technique is truly a unique martial art in the world!

Bang~!

There was another sharp sound, and seeing that Lu Nanxing was unable to defend himself, he suddenly thrust out a sword from an unexpected angle.

Lin Zhennan drew his sword back extremely quickly, and although he blocked the sword, he was temporarily forced back because his internal strength was not as good as Lu Nanxing's.

"Brother Lu, this sword is amazing! I admire it!"

Lin Zhennan put away his sword and stood still, his face full of admiration.

"Brother Lin, you are too kind. Compared with the Lin family's Exorcism Sword Technique, mine is just a grain of rice."

Lu Nanxing smiled. Although it was a humble remark, it was also the truth.

After teaching Lin Zhennan some moves for two months, Lin Zhennan's swordsmanship made rapid progress. Lu Nanxing also gained a lot of insights, which he applied to his own swordsmanship and gained a lot.

Today, although the 3.0 Songshan Sword Technique has not yet been completed, it has taken shape.

Based on the complex and strange sword techniques of Exorcism, he created a sword technique with exquisite sword moves.

As for the most important aspect of the Exorcism Sword, speed, Lu Nanxing was using a broadsword and was unable to imitate it.

Click~!

As the two were talking, there was a crisp sound, and a long crack appeared on the sword in Lu Nanxing's hand.

Previously, Lu Nanxing used the sword to block Yu Canghai's heart-destroying palm, and the sword was already damaged. Later, he fought with Lin Zhennan, and the damage became even more serious.

Today, the crack has almost run across the sword. Although it has not yet broken, it will not last long.

Although this sword is unique, it was made in the Songshan School's foundry using ordinary iron. It is extremely rare that it has survived to this day.

"Oh~!"

Although it is just an ordinary weapon, it has been with him for a long time. Lu Nanxing sighed and stroked the sword gently, as if he was comforting an old friend on his deathbed.

“What a pity.”

Lin Zhennan also expressed regret, but then he cheered up and shouted softly.

"Ping'er! Hurry and bring it here!"

"Yes."

Lin Pingzhi outside the venue responded, walked quickly to Lu Nanxing holding a long wooden box, and presented it with both hands with a smile on his face.

"Uncle Lu, please."

"What?"

Lu Nanxing looked at the Lin father and son. They both looked mysterious and didn't say anything. Lu Nanxing was too lazy to guess and just opened the wooden box.

"This is……"

At the bottom of the brocade-covered box, there was actually a sword!

The sword is four feet and two inches long, four inches wide, completely black, without a sharp edge, and is thick and blunt.

"Good weight."

This sword looked extraordinary at first glance. Lu Nanxing picked it up subconsciously, and immediately his wrist dropped, and he couldn't help but exclaimed in surprise.

Compared to Lu Nanxing's broadsword, this sword is slightly smaller in size, but its weight is probably more than twice as much!
You know, Lu Nanxing's sword weighs more than 20 kilograms, so this sword must weigh 50 or 60 kilograms!

The last sword this heavy was the black iron heavy sword owned by the hero Divine Condor at the end of the Song Dynasty.

Buzz~!

While being amazed, Lu Nanxing was delighted to see the prey, and casually made a sword flower. With such a heavy weight, just a casual sword movement would bring about a whistling wind. Although this sword is heavy, Lu Nanxing has always used a large sword, and his wrist strength has been continuously increasing under the strengthening of the toxin of the small wooden tripod, plus the internal strength of twenty years, so there is no obstacle to using it.

"It's true!"

Seeing Lu Nanxing doing it with ease, Lin Zhennan was delighted and praised him loudly.

"This huge sword is indeed worthy of Brother Lin!"

"Juque?"

Lu Nanxing was slightly startled and looked at Lin Zhennan in surprise.

"But is it the famous sword of the Spring and Autumn Period, Juque?"

"Except for this sword, who else dares to call it by this name?"

Lin Zhennan nodded, looked at the heavy sword in Lu Nanxing's hand, and said with some excitement.

"During the Spring and Autumn Period, King Yunchang of Yue ordered Ou Yezi to forge five swords. Ou Yezi used the essence of five metals and the sun, and used all his skills to forge three large swords and two small swords: one is Zhanlu, the second is Chunjun, the third is Shengxie, the fourth is Yuchang, and the fifth is Juque. These are the Five Swords of Yue! The large Juque is blunt, heavy, and extremely hard, so it is called the most powerful sword in the world!"

"It is indeed a divine weapon, worthy of the title of Supreme."

Lu Nanxing nodded approvingly and was about to put the sword back into the wooden box.

Unexpectedly, Lin Pingzhi suddenly withdrew his hand and took the wooden box back.

"Ok?"

Lu Nanxing was slightly stunned and asked with a smile.

"What does this mean?"

"Even if the Juque is a peerless divine weapon, if no one uses it, it can only be hidden in a brocade box and put away to gather dust."

Lin Zhennan smiled and pushed the Juque sword towards Lu Nanxing.

"Only someone with Brother Lu's wrist strength can swing Juque and unleash the true power of this sword, the supreme sword in the world."

"inappropriate."

Lin Zhennan wanted to give him the sword, but Lu Nanxing quickly declined.

"Such a magical weapon is too valuable. I cannot accept it."

"Brother Lu, what are you talking about!"

Lin Zhennan's face darkened and his expression became serious.

"Is the friendship between you and me not worth this sword? I gave you gold and silver, but you refused them all. As a swordsman, you can't refuse a precious sword. Besides, your weapon is already damaged, and it was damaged by me, so it is only natural for me to give you a sword."

"I only have a piece of ordinary iron. How can I ask you to give me a divine weapon? I really can't accept such a valuable thing."

Lu Nanxing shook his head, still trying his best to refuse.

It’s not that Lu Nanxing doesn’t like Juque, nor is it that he is being hypocritical, he just really can’t have it.

Lu Nanxing did all this in order to get Lin Zhennan to help him eliminate the Yellow River Gang. If he accepted the Juque Sword and paid off the favor, how would he ask for help later?
Although he could never repay the life-saving grace, the situation has changed. Now that Lin Zhennan's martial arts has surpassed Lu Nanxing and he no longer needs Lu Nanxing's protection, who knows if he will change?

Therefore, Lu Nanxing must keep this favor.

"In that case..."

Lin Zhennan hesitated for a moment and turned to Lin Pingzhi.

"Ping'er."

"Yes!"

Lin Pingzhi understood and suddenly knelt in front of Lu Nanxing, his face full of sincerity and excitement.

"Lin Pingzhi is not talented, please accept me as your disciple, Uncle Lu!"

"what?"

Lin Pingzhi's becoming his disciple was beyond Lu Nanxing's expectations.

"haha okay."

Lin Zhennan smiled and nodded continuously, obviously he had planned this for a long time, and pushed the Juque Sword to Lu Nanxing again.

"This sword is my apprenticeship gift. Brother Lu will accept it, right?"
