A man in the martial world, a reincarnated sword immortal.

Chapter 99 I want your seventy years of internal energy in exchange for a future for the Free and Unfettered Sect!

Ding Chunqiu narrowed his eyes, a sharp glint appearing in them.

He hadn't spoken yet.

The Xingxiu Sect disciple beside him began shouting at Zhong Yuan.

"Where did this wild brat come from!"

"How dare you disrespect the old immortal!"

Zhong Yuan glanced at the Xingxiu Sect disciple.

Instantly, he transformed into a blur and appeared before the disciple!

Snap snap snap snap~~~

Immediately afterwards, several hard slaps landed on his face.

The Xingxiu Sect disciple who was being slapped was dizzy and disoriented, his head spinning.

She just kept covering her swollen cheeks and whimpering.

Upon seeing this, Ding Chunqiu, the Old Monster of the Star Constellation, immediately frowned, pressed his feather fan in front of him, and said to Zhong Yuan, "Boy, just who are you?!"

Zhong Yuan glanced at the Starry Sky Old Monster.

He has not yet spoken.

Not far away, Bao Butong, who had been affected by the Dissolving Power Technique, had already spoken up: "Old Monster Ding."

"The man before you is none other than the number one martial arts master in the Central Plains today."

"This is none other than Zhong, the leader of the Ming Cult, who bears the name 'Central Divine Sword'!"

Upon hearing this, Ding Chunqiu's expression froze, and a hint of apprehension flashed in his eyes.

A person's name, a tree's shadow.

Ding Chunqiu had not entered the Central Plains martial arts world for a long time, but this time he set foot in the Central Plains.

The name most often mentioned by people in the martial arts world is Zhong Yuan, the leader of the Ming Cult.

This man single-handedly killed the Four Evils, defeated the Imperial City Guard, diminished the prestige of Shaolin, forced the Shaolin Abbot Xuanci to his death, and frightened away the Heavenly Child Granny of Lingjiu Palace.

He can be said to be the most prominent figure in the martial arts world of his time.

"So it's Leader Zhong."

"Disrespect, disrespect."

Ding Chunqiu, with a hypocritical air, bowed to Zhong Yuan.

However, at the very moment he bowed his head and clasped his hands in greeting.

Suddenly, the feather fan in his hand snapped, and two beams of cold light shot out from Ding Chunqiu's sleeves, hurtling towards Zhong Yuan.

Zhong Yuan stood there motionless.

It was as if they hadn't reacted yet!

puff!

The two silver needles pierced directly into Zhong Yuan's body.

This happened in the blink of an eye!

Ding Chunqiu thought he had successfully outmaneuvered Zhong Yuan, and immediately started laughing loudly while waving his feather fan!

"What utter nonsense about being the number one person in the Central Plains!"

"What Ming Cult leader?!"

"In my opinion, it's nothing special!"

"He's just a young kid who hasn't even grown all his hair yet!"

"You, surnamed Zhong, have been poisoned by my Corpse-Rotting Poison!"

No matter how skilled you are, you cannot escape death!

"Now, kneel down and kowtow three times to this old man!"

"Recognize me as your ancestor!"

"I might consider giving you the antidote!"

"Otherwise, you might not even be able to leave behind a complete corpse!"

"Hahaha, Ding Chunqiu laughed triumphantly, waving his feather fan."

The Xingxiu Sect disciples standing nearby all shouted loudly, flattering Ding Chunqiu.

"The Starry Sky Immortal possesses boundless magical power!"

"The Starry Sky Immortal is incredibly powerful!"

"The Starry Sky Immortal, the number one martial arts master!"

there.

Bao Butong, Feng Bo'e, Deng Baichuan, and others, after witnessing Zhong Yuan being ambushed by Ding Chunqiu and struck by Ding Chunqiu's poisoned needle...

Bao Butong looked astonished and regretful, and said, "Sigh!"

"This is bad."

"That old monster actually cheated!"

"They assassinated that cult leader Zhong."

"Even though Master Zhong is highly skilled, he's probably about to be subdued by Ding Chunqiu!"

Just then.

Zhong Yuan suddenly straightened his chest, and with a "whoosh," two silver needles were sent flying back at Ding Chunqiu with lightning speed.

Zhong Yuan and Ding Chunqiu met not far apart.

Ding Chunqiu was still laughing triumphantly.

He never expected that the poison needle, which was clearly injected into Zhong Yuan's body, would actually reflect back.

This caught Ding Chunqiu completely off guard.

However, he was, after all, a martial arts master. Although he always presented himself as a poison master, his skill was such that few in the martial arts world could truly defeat him.

In a flash, he used his feather fan to block the two silver needles.

but.

Zhong Yuan, however, had no intention of giving Ding Chunqiu a chance to catch his breath and directly stepped forward.

He grabbed Ding Chunqiu's right arm and then lifted him up.

It was as if he were playing with mud, controlling it in his hands!

Ding Chunqiu felt an unusual force enveloping his entire body.

No matter how hard he tried or how much he poured out his true energy, he still couldn't break free.

On the contrary, that force became even stronger, increasing dozens of times in an instant.

Zhong Yuan then gathered Ding Chunqiu into a ball and, as if kicking a ball, sent Ding Chunqiu flying into the air!

He leaped up again and punched Ding Chunqiu!

Bang!

Immediately, Ding Chunqiu deflated like a punctured balloon.

He vomited blood violently and fell downwards.

With a thud, it fell to the ground.

Zhong Yuan raised his palm and drew a long sword from Feng Bo'e's waist, then slashed it down at Ding Chunqiu's neck.

Blood splattered outwards.

An invisible barrier of energy appeared in front of Zhong Yuan, blocking the blood from entering.

immediately.

Zhong Yuan lifted Ding Chunqiu's head up and then threw the knife in his hand back.

It landed precisely in the scabbard of the turbulent storm once again.

all of these.

It happened so fast that it was truly overwhelming.

After witnessing this scene, the disciples of the Starry Constellation Sect were briefly stunned and speechless.

Soon, some people knelt down in front of Zhong Yuan and shouted loudly at him.

"The Cult Leader's divine might is unparalleled!"

"The cult leader is invincible, he personally slays the old monster!"

Zhong Yuan shouted.

"roll!"

The Xingxiu Sect disciples were so frightened that they wet themselves and scattered in a panic.

Zhong Yuan carried Ding Chunqiu's head forward and walked up to Bao Butong, Feng Bo'e, and the others.

The men who had caused the storm all had a sense of awe in their eyes.

They were all dealt with by Ding Chunqiu in no time.

However, in front of this Master Zhong, even the wicked Old Monster Ding was like a three-year-old child, easily manipulated by Master Zhong.

This Master Zhong truly deserves to be called the number one martial arts master in the Central Plains today.

Seeing that the people looked unwell, Zhong Yuan released their pressure points.

Bao Butong and the others, their lips turning blue, bowed to Zhong Yuan in thanks.

"Master Zhong, thank you very much!"

"Just now, I thought that Old Monster Ding's evil skills had also ambushed Master Zhong."

"Now it seems that I, Lao Bao, underestimated Master Zhong's abilities."

Zhong Yuan nodded slightly, noticing that Murong Fu was not among the four people. He then looked at the group of men and women with different appearances and attire.

"What are you doing here?"

Feng Bo'e replied, "The four of us brothers originally had no intention of getting involved in these matters of the martial world."

"But Mr. Congbian thought highly of the four of us and even sent us an invitation."

"We came to join in the fun, but unexpectedly, we ran into Old Man Ding on the way."

"He was ambushed and poisoned by Old Monster Ding using his evil skills."

Zhong Yuan nodded slightly.

At this time.

Then a group of more than thirty people came down from the mountain path. They were all dressed as farmers and each carried a long weapon.

When the villagers got closer, they realized that the objects that looked like weapons were not weapons at all, but bamboo poles.

A rope net is attached between each pair of bamboo poles, allowing people to ride on it.

One of the farmers addressed the crowd, saying, "Gentlemen..."

"Mr. Congbian has been waiting for everyone in the valley for quite some time."

"If anyone has mobility issues, please feel free to come up."

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan and the others said, "Please, do as you please."

Seeing this, Bao Butong and the others did not hesitate. They were all poisoned and weak all over, so they did not pretend and sat on the rope net one by one.

The young men carried one person in pairs, running swiftly up the mountain.

Zhong Yuan, holding Ding Chunqiu's head, called out to his father, Zhong Lieyang, over there.

The father and son leaped up, traversing the steep mountain path as if it were flat ground, their feet barely touching the ground.

In an instant, it disappeared into the bamboo forest in front of it.

Not long after.

Zhong Yuan and his son had already spotted a valley ahead.

Without delay, the two rushed inside.

The valley was filled with pine trees, and the sound of the pines echoed like waves in the mountain breeze.

After traveling less than two miles through the forest, three wooden houses appeared ahead.

Under a large tree in front of the house, two people were sitting facing each other.

Between the two seated people was a large rock with a chessboard on it, and the two were playing a game of chess.

The man sitting on the right was a short, thin, and withered old man, while the man sitting on the left was a young gentleman.

The chessboard was carved on a large blue stone, and the black and white pieces were all sparkling. Each side had already placed over a hundred pieces.

The short old man picked up a black piece and placed it down. Suddenly, his eyebrows twitched.

It was as if he had seen some kind of wonderful change in the game.

The young man held a white piece in his hand, pondered for a long time, and then made his move.

At this time.

But then, Zhong Yuan strode over, carrying Ding Chunqiu by the head.

Looking at the young man engrossed in playing chess, who else could it be but Duan Yu?

Zhong Yuan knew that this intricate chess puzzle was not something an ordinary person could solve.

Therefore, when he beheaded Ding Chunqiu and brought the head to see him, he was actually trying to bypass this procedure and go see Wuyazi.

As soon as Zhong Yuan landed, he shouted loudly without hesitation.

"Wu Yazi!"

"I, Zhong Yuan, leader of the Ming Cult, have come with the head of Ding Chunqiu."

Wow!

The words seemed soft, yet they traveled accurately to the ears of every living creature in the valley.

Duan Yu, who was hesitating to play chess, was startled awake by Zhong Yuan's voice.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Zhong Yuan.

He immediately threw the chess piece aside and said to Su Xinghe opposite him, "Mr. Congbian."

"This game has so many variations that I truly cannot solve it."

Let's stop here.

Immediately.

He stood up, excitedly jogging towards Zhong Yuan, and said to him, "Young Master Zhong!"

"Oh...no, I should call you Master Zhong now!"

"Master Zhong, it's been almost half a year since we parted ways in Tokyo."

"How have you been, Master Zhong?"

Upon seeing Duan Yu's excited expression, Zhong Yuan immediately said, "Young Master Duan, let's talk later."

"I'll take care of my business first."

Then, Zhong Yuan lifted Ding Chunqiu's head from his hand.

Upon seeing this, Duan Yu pinched his nose and took a step back.

"Wow!"

"Master Zhong, where did you get this head from?!"

"It stinks!"

At this time.

Su Xinghe, who was sitting at the stone table, got up and walked over. He looked Zhong Yuan up and down, then at the head of Ding Chunqiu that Zhong Yuan was holding.

His expression immediately changed.

He then cupped his hands towards Zhong Yuan and said, "Are you the leader of the Ming Cult, Zhong?"

Zhong Yuan said calmly, "Exactly."

Su Xinghe cautiously asked, "Sect Leader Zhong, may I see Ding Chunqiu's head?"

Zhong Yuan casually tossed it to Su Xinghe.

Su Xinghe took Ding Chunqiu's head, examined it carefully, and confirmed that it was correct.

He immediately bowed solemnly to Zhong Yuan and said, "Ding Chunqiu betrayed our sect and harmed our late master. Now, Ding Chunqiu has been killed by Sect Leader Zhong."

"You have done our sect a favor, please wait a moment, Sect Leader Zhong!"

"I'll be right back."

Immediately.

Su Xinghe was seen carrying Ding Chunqiu's head and heading towards the wooden house behind.

Seeing this, Duan Yu moved closer to Zhong Yuan and said to him, "Master Zhong."

"So, the one you killed was Ding Chunqiu, the Old Monster of the Star Constellation."

"I've heard people say that this Star Constellation Monster is extremely powerful."

"You're still the best, Master Zhong."

Zhong Yuan glanced at Duan Yu and noticed that his eyes were bright and clear, quite different from what they had been six months ago.

It seems this kid is about to have another stroke of luck.

Not long after.

But over there, the villagers carrying their bundles were different from those who had just entered the valley.

After entering the valley.

Bao Butong and the others climbed down from the rope net and looked at everything in the valley, but they didn't think there was anything wrong with it.

They thought the intricate chess game had not yet begun.

Not long after.

Then, the eloquent Su Xinghe emerged from the wooden house, walked up to Zhong Yuan, and respectfully addressed him.

He said, "Master Zhong!"

"please!"

Zhong Yuan raised an eyebrow, signaling Old Zhong to follow.

However, Su Xinghe stopped Zhong and said directly, "Sect Leader Zhong, only you are allowed to enter this place."

Seeing this, Zhong Yuan did not insist. If he had not comprehended the secret of the Water-Fire Pearl before, he would definitely have taken Old Zhong in with him.

But for now, there's no need for Old Zhong to come in with us.

He nodded slightly to Lao Zhong, indicating that Lao Zhong should wait outside.

Immediately.

Walk straight to the wooden house.

Su Xinghe said from behind, "Sect Leader Zhong, please go to the third wooden house!"

The third wooden house had no doors or windows; Su Xinghe had entered from the second wooden house earlier.

Zhong Yuan raised his palm and slammed it down, causing the wooden house's walls to shatter.

Then, an entrance appeared, and he stepped inside.

Seeing this, Su Xinghe couldn't help but nod in approval.

After entering the cave, Zhong Yuan fell down after taking only a few steps.

Instead, a large underground hole appeared before them, with little extra light.

A rope could be seen connecting the two sides of the cave.

A handsome middle-aged man was suspended in mid-air.

The middle-aged man had a handsome face, a spirited demeanor, and a three-foot-long beard.

After seeing Zhong Yuan land lightly, I couldn't help but give him a thumbs up.

"Impressive skill."

"I have waited for thirty years, and finally I have found a disciple who suits my taste."

Zhong Yuan looked up, stood with his hands behind his back, and smiled faintly at the crippled Wu Yazi.

"Wu Yazi, I'm not here to be your last disciple."

"I want your seventy years of internal energy in exchange for a future for the Free and Unfettered Sect."

"Are you willing?"

Wow!

These words were spoken.

This caused Wu Yazi to lose his composure slightly.

He looked at Zhong Yuan, who was equally handsome and had an extraordinary air about him, and slowly said, "Do you know who I am?"

Zhong Yuan smiled faintly.

"I not only know that you are Wuyazi, the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect."

"I also know about your grudges and entanglements with Tianshan Tonglao, Li Qiushui, and Ding Chunqiu."

"You've been holed up in Leigushan for thirty years, never seeing the light of day, living like a ghost."

"Where is the demeanor of the leader of the Carefree Sect?"

"If Xiaoyaozi knew that the Xiaoyao Sect leader he chose was such a hopeless case, he would be disappointed in him."

"I'm afraid he'll die of anger."

Wu Yazi's eyes flashed with divine light, and he let out a low shout!

"Who exactly are you?!"
