Yue Buqun: My Mount Hua has been time-traveled.

The atmosphere inside the Mingjian Hall immediately became heavy.

No one expected that the leader of the Huashan Sect would go to such lengths to gather everyone together.

It wasn't actually to disband the alliance, but rather to give everyone a strong show of force!

This withered plum tree, whose name had never been revealed in the martial arts world, spoke with an unprecedentedly resolute tone.

Bai Yufeng's expression gradually darkened.

He said, enunciating each word clearly, "So this so-called 'Union Resignation Conference' was just a smokescreen? You've been fooling us from beginning to end, haven't you?"

Ku Mei also turned her head, her gaze fixed intently on Bai Yufeng.

His single eye was like a needle, piercing the skin with a painful sting.

She retorted sharply, "The Huashan Sect is no longer capable of serving as the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, and naturally will not remain in this position. However, as the former leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, I believe that the new leader must possess sufficient ability to lead the Five Mountains Sword Sects to prosperity. Otherwise, if a useless person were to take this position, it would be better for the Huashan Sect to continue in this role. What do you think, Sect Leader Bai?"

Bai Yufeng: "The Alliance Leader's concerns are indeed reasonable, but I have a question: how much ability is considered sufficient? And who will determine that?"

"Since I am the current leader of the alliance, the next leader must be stronger than me. Otherwise, with each generation weaker than the last, wouldn't the Five Mountains Sword Sect eventually decline and perish?!"

A sharp, hawk-like smile appeared on Ku Mei's lips.

His gaze finally swept over Bai Yufeng and then over the other three sect leaders.

She sneered, "Therefore, whoever among you desires to become the new leader, as long as you surpass me in strength, I will naturally relinquish the Five Mountains Command Flag, and the Huashan Sect will submit without a second thought!"

These words were spoken.

Bai Yufeng burst into laughter, exclaiming, "Simple! This is too simple! I thought Alliance Leader Kumei had ulterior motives, but I never expected them to be so straightforward. Indeed, among us martial artists, if our skills are inferior, how dare we assume the position of Alliance Leader? In that case, Bai Yufeng of the Songshan Sect will now seek a few moves from the Alliance Leader!"

"Since you are a disciple of my alliance, I should certainly give you some pointers!"

The words fell.

Ku Mei slammed his dragon-headed cane down heavily!

On the roof of Mingjian Hall, the snow seemed to be stirred by an invisible force, and it fell down in a soft rustling sound.

Her single eye was wide open, and her originally hunched body straightened slightly, having lost some of its old age, leaving only a chilling and murderous aura.

A simple handshake.

The dragon-headed cane shattered into four pieces, revealing a long, gleaming sword hidden inside.

Such profound skill!

Everyone present was immediately amazed.

Xie Feng, the deputy leader of the Beggars' Sect, couldn't help but feel secretly shocked and worried!

He heard that the Huashan Sect had suffered heavy losses in the sword and qi conflict, with all the elders and sect leader dead, leaving only a handful of young people to maintain appearances.

Therefore, in order to enhance his prestige, he sent Beggar Clan disciples to gradually infiltrate Qixia Town, intending to seize Huashan's territory.

Unexpectedly, the old woman's skill was so profound that it was astonishing!

This single move alone surpasses the skills of previous generations of Huashan...

No, the previous sect leader, Ning Qingyu, was even worse.

Bai Yufeng's face was as cold and hard as iron.

He slowly drew his broadsword.

Unlike other sword schools that emphasize lightness and agility, the weapons of the Songshan School are heavy and thick, with a width of a palm.

Moreover, the blade is thick and heavy, probably weighing at least several tens of kilograms.

But at this moment, it was held in Bai Yufeng's hand and felt as light as if it were nothing.

"Since the Alliance Leader puts it that way, then I, Bai, shall have a word of guidance!"

As the challenger, Bai Yufeng held back. With a flick of his wrist, his longsword hummed, and the extremely condensed blade struck Ku Mei's face with tremendous force.

This move is the Songshan School's straightforward approach!

The moves are simple and are the sword techniques learned by beginners of the Songshan School.

But when Bai Yufeng used it, it was as heavy as Mount Tai pressing down, unstoppable!

Ku Mei neither dodged nor avoided; as she swept her long sword horizontally, her robe sleeves billowed.

Only then did everyone realize with alarm that the old woman was not only blind in one eye, but also missing her left arm!

However, her skill was extremely profound and her swordsmanship was superb. She struck Bai Yufeng's thick sword spine with her sword.

Clang!

A sharp crack resounded, causing everyone around to experience a buzzing or throbbing in their ears.

Ku Mei's steps were slightly heavy, and the bluestone slabs beneath her feet were cracked like a spider web. But with this momentum, she had already dissipated most of Bai Yufeng's fierce momentum.

Then, with a light and agile movement, he aimed his sword directly at Bai Yufeng's wrist vein through the gap in the opponent's broadsword!

The first move of the Thirteen Styles of Gentle Breeze: Wind Passes Through the Pine Forest!

What was originally a slashing move was transformed into a move she executed effortlessly.

Bai Yufeng's heart skipped a beat, and he exclaimed in surprise, "This is not the Huashan sword technique!"

He hurriedly twisted his wrist to retract the sword, and at the same time, he dodged and retreated. In a flash, the broadsword had already drawn three sword flowers, stabbing at Ku Mei's left shoulder, heart and lower abdomen!

It is the famous "Three Stars Surrounding the Moon" formation on Mount Song!

He channeled his inner strength into his dantian, channeling it into the sword through the meridians in his arm. The blade sliced ​​through the air, producing a subtle whooshing sound, and each move was incredibly powerful.

If a withered plum tree cannot dodge in time, it may very well suffer broken bones and die.

Ku Mei remained calm and composed, a cold glint flashing in her single eye.

Her figure was like a plum blossom in the wind, and her steps were light and quick.

Weaving through the opponent's swordplay, he executed the defensive move "Cloud Recesses" from the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng to its fullest extent, his sword shadows like mist, protecting himself completely!

The two were locked in a fierce battle, their swords flashing and their energies clashing – a direct contest of life and death.

Bai Yufeng's swordsmanship was fierce and domineering, with each strike carrying immense force.

The sword's wind swept across, scattering snowflakes and leaving deep marks on the bluestone slabs.

Ku Mei's swordsmanship is agile and unpredictable; the Thirteen Styles of Qingfeng are inherently ambiguous, seemingly real yet unreal, seemingly changing yet unchanged.

Her internal energy flowed through the blade, and with each thrust of her longsword, she forced Bai Yufeng to retract his sword technique.

However, in just a few dozen moves, Ku Mei had already gained the upper hand!

"Excellent swordsmanship!"

Chongxu's eyes lit up, and he exclaimed, "I never expected the Huashan Sect to possess such profound swordsmanship! It's truly exquisite. I must learn a thing or two from this Master Kumei in the future!"

But a moment later.

He sighed, "It's a pity this senior is a bit too old."

However, seeing that his swordsmanship was no match, Bai Yufeng changed his style drastically. His sword moves became wide and sweeping, like a thousand troops breaking through and ten thousand horses charging!

Although Ku Mei won by using unconventional methods, Bai Yufeng ultimately won by using orthodox methods, and the two clashed with their internal energies.

Ku Mei let out a muffled groan, blood trickling from the corner of her mouth.

It's not that my skill is lacking, but rather that I'm getting old and my energy and blood are depleted.

Their strength had already been declining.

This kind of head-on confrontation is not her forte!

Furthermore, the Songshan School's swordsmanship excels at using brute force to overcome skill. The White Jade Peak sword, with its wider and longer blade than ordinary weapons, swings like a windmill, which, in a way, is precisely what the withered plum blossoms...

Bai Yufeng was breathing heavily, his eyes still showing signs of shock.

His opponent's swordsmanship was too profound and unpredictable, making him feel almost unable to resist. If he hadn't used brute force to win, he might have already died by his opponent's sword!

But at this moment they have the upper hand.

Bai Yufeng pointed his longsword directly at the withered plum blossom and said coldly, "Alliance Leader, you are getting on in years. If we continue fighting, I will gain too much of an advantage. If you want to measure my abilities, this is enough, isn't it?"

"That's not enough; youth and strength aren't necessarily advantages!"

Ku Mei wiped the blood from the corner of her mouth, but her internal energy suddenly became chaotic.

When he struck again, the previously understated swordplay became ferocious and unpredictable.

Gao Yanan, who was watching the battle, changed her expression slightly and exclaimed in surprise, "She can actually...!"

He then realized what was happening and quickly stopped talking.

As the sword technique of Kumei suddenly changed, the swordplay that had already left Bai Yufeng struggling to cope became even more unpredictable.

Bai Yufeng fully utilized his strengths, wielding his broadsword with incredible power, almost turning it into a windmill.

However, she was forced close by Abbess Kumei.

"If you want the Five Sacred Mountains Command Banner, you'll have to step over my dead body first!"

With a fierce gritted voice, Ku Mei suddenly accelerated, heading straight for Bai Yufeng's vital point, the Tanzhong acupoint!

A ruthless thought suddenly arose in Bai Yufeng's heart!

The heavy sword, without an edge, was like a door panel, and it slammed down hard on the withered plum tree.

Is it about being aggressive?

Let's see who's more ruthless!
