The First Sword of the Universe

Chapter 98 Zuo Lengchan: Let me try out Master Xu's martial arts
The moon is bright and cold, and the firelight flickers.
The courtyard of the Liu family residence was packed with thousands of people, but not a single sound was made. Everyone deliberately lowered and slowed down their breathing, for fear that a heavy breath would break the solemn atmosphere.

The head of Huashan Sect, Yue Buqun, had a tough attitude, which made many people feel nervous.

Zuo Lengchan withdrew his gaze from the moon and turned to look at Yue Buqun with a sneer on his face: "Junior Brother Yue, you actually dare to speak to this leader like that. I guess your martial arts have improved a lot!"

Yue Buqun smiled and said modestly: "After so many years, my martial arts have improved a bit, but I still can't compare to you, Senior Brother Zuo."

"However, no matter what, Senior Brother Zuo, as the leader of our Five Mountains Sword Sect, you can handle some of the alliance's affairs against the enemy, but it is a bit too much to want to interfere in the internal affairs of our respective sects!"

Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly: "What do you mean by interfering in your sect's internal affairs? As long as there is something that is not good for our Five Mountains Sword Sect Alliance, this leader should be in charge!"

"After all, Junior Brother Yue, are you trying to resist just because there is a rising star in your sect who is jokingly called the 'World's No. 1 Swordsman' and you dare to disobey my orders?"

At this point, Zuo Lengchan's eyes lit up, and he glanced at the young man among the Huashan disciples and shouted, "Nephew Xu, stand up and let this leader see what the young man who is called the 'Number One Swordsman in the World' looks like?!"

Xu Xingchen, who had been hiding among the crowd and watching the development of the situation with cold eyes, glanced at his master. Seeing that he had no intention of objecting, he walked out of the crowd at an unhurried pace, bowed to Zuo Lengchan, and said respectfully: "Huashan disciple Xu Xingchen greets Alliance Leader Zuo!"

Zuo Lengchan's eyes were like lightning, sweeping over the boy's body. Seeing that he was still calm and composed under the pressure of his aura, he narrowed his eyes and said, "He is quite handsome, and his style of doing things seems to have learned some of the essence of your master's 'Gentleman Sword'."

This sentence was originally a normal compliment, but when Zuo Lengchan said it with a hint of sarcasm, everyone immediately felt that he was scolding someone, calling Yue Buqun a "hypocrite" and Xu Xingchen, who had learned some of Yue Buqun's essence, a "little hypocrite."

Yue Buqun responded unyieldingly: "Senior Brother Zuo is a domineering person. Your fellow disciples and the disciples of Songshan Sect have completely inherited your style of doing things!"

Zuo Lengchan looked towards Yue Buqun and said coldly: "Junior Brother Yue, it seems that you really want to go against this leader to the end?!"

"In that case, I, the leader of the alliance, would like to ask you a question today. It is rumored that the reason why your inner strength is far superior to your peers in the martial arts world is that you have practiced Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Technique. How do you explain this?"

Yue Buqun chuckled twice, his laughter was full of unspeakable mockery: "Senior Brother Zuo, you also believe such rumors. I also heard that you and Dongfang Bubai had tea and chatted together, calculating how to divide the whole world. Do you think I should believe it?"

Zuo Lengchan's face darkened: "This leader and the Demon Cult are irreconcilable, this is something known to everyone in the world!"

"However, Junior Brother Xu has never experienced fighting with the Demon Cult. If the Demon Cult colludes with Liu Zhengfeng like they did, they could send someone to deliberately approach Junior Brother Xu and teach him the Star Absorbing Technique, allowing him to cause chaos in the Five Mountains Sword Sect and the righteousness of the martial arts world. This is very likely to happen!"

Yue Buqun's calm face turned cold when he heard this nonsense. If it were a vulgar person who didn't have enough energy, he would probably curse immediately: "What the hell are you talking about?"

Ning Zhongze and the Huashan Sect's disciples, who were not far away, were all filled with righteous indignation and had angry looks in their eyes. If it weren't for the wrong occasion and the other party's identity as the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, they would have been unable to endure it and would have jumped up and down and cursed.

Taking a deep breath, Yue Buqun said loudly: "Senior Brother Zuo, you must have evidence for what you say and do. As the leader of our Five Mountains Sword Sect, you can't just speak nonsense!"

“There is no smoke without fire!” Zuo Lengchan suddenly pulled out a strange smile: “Among the people present, only this alliance leader has personally experienced Ren Woxing’s Star Absorbing Technique. You want evidence? Well, this alliance leader will personally take action today to test nephew Xu’s martial arts!”

"Zuo Lengchan, how dare you!"

Amid Yue Buqun's shouts of surprise and anger, Zuo Lengchan's body was as fast as a spear, crossing a distance of several feet and standing straight in front of Xu Xingchen. He forcefully slapped the air away with one palm, and on the way forward, the color of his hand quickly changed from ordinary flesh to as white as frost and snow, with wisps of cold air emanating from it.

Xu Xingchen's figure suddenly turned into a shadow, as fast as the wind and as fast as a dragon, and he dodged the icy palm that was aimed at his chest.

"Not bad!"

Zuo Lengchan spoke softly, stepped on the ground, and quickly chased after him. His palms, as white as frost and snow, slapped out in succession, bang, bang, bang, circles of white air rings about a foot in size spread out in the air.

That is the mist and frost produced by the interaction of the icy true energy and the water vapor in the air!

On the other side, Yue Buqun was about to attack, but was stopped by the figures of the three great guardians of Songshan. Crane Hand Lu Bai said coldly: "Senior Brother Yue, please be patient!"

Yue Buqun's eyes gleamed brightly, and he snorted coldly: "Do you think you can stop me?"

As they were talking, the four of them had already fought several times in a row, and the intensity and ferocity of the fight was no less than the battle between the three great protectors and the King of Heaven, Xiang Wentian.

Of the three great guardians of Songshan Sect, only Ding Mian, the Pagoda-Bearing Hand, was caught off guard by Xiang Wentian and hit by a palm, causing him to spit out some blood, but his injuries were not serious.

Later, the three besieged Xiang Wentian. Although they were somewhat defeated by Xiang Wentian, the fighting didn't take long after all, and the consumption of the three was not great! Now, the three joined forces again to fight with Yue Buqun. They thought that even if they couldn't easily capture him, it would not be difficult to trap him.

In their minds, Xiang Wentian's martial arts skills were slightly inferior to those of their senior brother, but much better than that of Yue Buqun.

By this calculation, the three of them should be able to deal with Yue Buqun, unless the battle lasts longer and Yue Buqun's Zixia magic skill has accumulated enough power, then they will be at a disadvantage.

The Thirteen Guardians of the Songshan Sect are not the underworld masters recruited by Zuo Lengchan. Each of them is an important figure in the martial arts world, especially the first four guards, who are even more famous and powerful, not inferior to the leaders of some sects.

The top three guardians besieged Yue Buqun together, which was already a great respect for Yue Buqun!

Unexpectedly, the situation was beyond their expectations. Not only was Yue Buqun's skills astonishingly profound, but his moves were also exquisite and varied, far beyond their imagination.

The martial arts are still the martial arts of the Huashan School, and the moves are still the moves of the Huashan School, but the power is sometimes real and sometimes false, and the speed is sometimes fast and sometimes slow, which leads to more changes and doubled power.

After fighting for more than ten moves, the three great protectors were a little shaky and their moves were a little disordered. It felt like they were facing Xiang Wentian. Not only could they not suppress Yue Buqun, but they were also suppressed by Yue Buqun.

The three were shocked
"How come Yue Buqun's martial arts are so much more powerful than we imagined?"

"His internal energy cultivation is not much worse than Senior Brother Zuo's. Moreover, the internal energy he cultivates seems to no longer be the Purple Cloud Divine Art."

"Damn it, what on earth happened to Huashan Sect? Ever since Junior Brother Laodenuo was driven down the mountain and was secretly silenced by this hypocrite, we have known nothing about Huashan Sect."

Obviously, the Songshan Sect attributed the disappearance of Lao Denuo and the ten great masters to Yue Buqun, thinking that he was the one who did it secretly!
Among the ten people standing on the courtyard wall watching the fight, the short and fat Yin-Yang Shou Le Hou saw this, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and then he flew down and shouted coldly: "Don't worry, three senior brothers, I'll give you a hand!"

With the joining of Yin-Yang Hand Le Hou, the battle situation regained its balance again, and as time passed, it began to tilt towards the side of the Four Guardians of Songshan.

The four great protectors, all of whom were powerful and skilled in palm techniques, joined forces to besiege Yue Buqun, the leader of the Huashan Sect. The violent palm winds they stirred up flew several feet away, and occasionally landed on the ground, causing the bluestone floor to crack.

The martial artists watching the battle were all impressed by Yue Buqun's amazing martial arts skills, thinking to themselves, "No wonder Yue Buqun dared to challenge Alliance Leader Zuo. His martial arts skills are so profound that they are not inferior to Xiang Wentian, the King of the Demon Sect, and he was even able to withstand the joint attack of the Four Great Guardians."

On the other side, Taishan Sect's leader Tianmen Taoist and others, as well as Hengshan Sect's Master Dingyi, who had been frowning ever since Zuo Lengchan showed up, were also amazed.

In their opinion, the Huashan Sect's leader Yue Buqun's martial arts skills may not be weak among the leaders of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, but he is definitely not as good as the leader Zuo Lengchan.

But the level of cultivation he displayed now clearly showed that he was catching up, which made them both amazed and surprised!

Ning Zhongze, who was not far away, saw it clearly. He knew that his senior brother was sure to win if he was fighting one against three, but he was afraid that he would be inferior if he was fighting one against four.

Anxious, he immediately flew over and shouted, "Songshan Sect is outnumbered, Senior Brother, I'm here to help you!"

The other nine figures on the courtyard wall sneered in unison: "We're coming too!"

After saying that, nine figures swooped down together and, together with the other four great guards, surrounded Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze in the center.

From then on, the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan Sect joined forces to fight against Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze and his wife of Huashan Sect!
Seeing this, Linghu Chong and others felt anxious and angry, and couldn't help but draw their swords.

The disciples of Songshan Sect who survived the fight with the Demon Cult members immediately gathered together and stood between the Huashan disciples, Yue Buqun and his wife, and the battle group of the Thirteen Guardians of Songshan.

"My fellow disciples, please stay!"

Qianzhangsong Shi Dengda, the leader, looked arrogant and had raging anger in his eyes, just like the other disciples of Songshan Sect behind him.

The disciples of their Songshan Sect had been besieged by members of the Demon Cult before. No one from the three major sword sects, Huashan, Hengshan, and Taishan, was willing to come forward to help, so many of their fellow disciples died.

In this situation, how could they not be angry?
