Chapter 177: Scheme against each other
“I’m here to learn from you.”

With a cold shout, Xiang Wentian walked out according to Ren Woxing’s instructions.

Xiang Wentian is nicknamed “King of Heaven” in Jianghu. He has a small technique called “absorbing energy into the ground”, which can direct the energy he has absorbed into the ground. His technique of “transplanting flowers and trees” has frightened countless righteous masters.

In addition, his real kung fu is also extremely powerful, and he was one of the four people who besieged Dongfang Bubai in the original work.

In today’s Sun Moon Sect, his status is second only to Ren Woxing and Ren Yingying, but his martial arts skills are second only to Ren Woxing.

It is reasonable for him to play in the fourth game.

“Xiang Wentian.”

Le Hou, who had a righteous look on his face just now, now turned pale and his voice suddenly sounded weak.

After all, pretending to be a hero does not make a true hero. Le Hou knew that he was no match for Xiang Wentian. Since the winner was going to be a matter of life and death, how could he not be afraid?

“Since you don’t use weapons, I will teach you with my fists and feet.”

Seeing that Le Hou had no weapon in his hand, although he knew that Le Hou was good at palm techniques and not at giving in, Xiang Wentian did not want to give himself up to criticism, so he threw the sword aside.

“bring it on!”

Already standing on the stage, in full view of the public, Le Hou was after all the guardian of Songshan, so how could he be frightened? He shouted loudly, raised his palms high and low, and got into position.

“Humph.”

Xiang Wentian snorted disdainfully, his eyes suddenly turned cold, he clenched his fists, and rushed forward in a flash.

Le Hou opened his eyes wide, not daring to be negligent at all, and immediately used the Great Songyang Divine Palm to respond.

The two men exchanged punches and palms, and there were heavy muffled sounds between their blows, which made it a wonderful duel.

However, before the disciples on both sides could get excited, after only a dozen moves, Le Hou saw that he was no match for Xiang Wentian and actually retreated to avoid the fight.

Xiang Wentian frowned, took a few quick steps to catch up, and continued to attack Le Hou.

But after a few more moves, Le Hou retreated again.

This happened repeatedly, and not only Xiang Wentian on the stage, but also the people watching the fight around him couldn’t help but look unhappy.

This is a martial arts competition, how can we compete if Le Hou just keeps dodging!
But the problem is that this competition will decide life and death, it is not as simple as judging a winner or a loser.

“Where are you running~!”

Xiang Wentian’s face was gloomy, his anger was aroused, and he caught up with Le Hou again, attacking more fiercely.

This only frightened Le Hou even more, and he simply turned around and ran away.

“This, this, this!”

Are you not trying to hide this? In such an occasion and with such a performance, everyone looked incredulous.

Immediately afterwards, there was a round of booing from the Sun and Moon Sect, while the Five Mountains Sword Sect were too ashamed to say a word.

Le Hou saw how the people around him reacted, but he couldn’t care less, after all, his life was at stake.

If he hadn’t been surrounded by thousands of people, he would have been unable to get out and would have escaped long ago.

At this moment, he could only run around and dodge on the stage.

“Stop!”

Xiang Wentian shouted and chased after him, and punched him hard when he caught up.

However, Le Hou had no intention of fighting with him, and most of his punches fell on empty air.

This competition, with one fleeing and the other chasing, should have been the most advanced competition in the martial arts world, but it turned into a farce with no entertainment value at all.

However, the place is so small that Le Hou couldn’t escape after all.

After trying to delay for a few hours, he still died under Xiang Wentian’s fists and feet.

Looking at Le Hou’s body with his brain bursting and bones broken, the Sun and Moon Divine Sect sneered, and the Five Mountains Sword Sect couldn’t even muster the slightest bit of mercy.

“Won!”

“The Left Envoy of Light is mighty!”

Immediately afterwards, the Sun and Moon Sect cheered in jubilation.

At the end of the competition, this was the first game they won.

“Humph.”

In response, Yue Buqun just chuckled, not taking it seriously at all, and then turned to the Taishan Sect behind him.

“Who will play in the next game?”

“I come.”

Without any excuses or arguments, Tianyi walked out.

In fact, Taishan Sect had already decided on the candidates long before the competition.

On the Sun Moon Sect’s side, even Xiang Wentian had gone, leaving only Ren Woxing.

This time, you will die!

But Tianyi still came out. Since one person from Taishan Sect had to die, it would be him.

Even if he cannot win, he will still stab Ren Woxing with a sword to fight for Taishan Sect!

“Junior brother.”

“Uncle Master.”

Looking at Tianyi, although the people of Taishan Sect were sad, they still looked strong.

The Taishan Sect has always been of this character that would rather break than bend!

“A ghost who wants to die.”

Ren Woxing took a glance, then stood up and walked straight to the stage.

“Taishan Sect’s Tianyi, let me teach you some great moves!”

Facing Ren Woxing, Tianyi showed no fear at all. He shouted loudly and drew out his sword.

“Humph.”

Ren Woxing was too lazy to talk to him and just snorted disdainfully.

Tianyi’s face darkened, he swung his sword and stabbed straight at Ren Woxing.

……

In just a moment, the sword broke and Tianyi fell to the ground and died.

Unfortunately, he failed to stab Ren Woxing with his sword.

The difference in martial arts skills was so great that not even the corner of Ren Woxing’s clothes was torn.

Ren Woxing didn’t even look at it again, turned around and sat back down.

The Taishan sect disciples held back their tears and collected Tianyi’s body.

At this point, five matches have ended, with two wins, two losses and one draw, and the two sides actually ended up in a draw.

“Everyone.”

After looking at both sides, Master Fang Zheng stood up and spoke.

“After five rounds of competition, there was still a tie. This is God’s will. If this is the case, you might as well stop now and stop killing people in vain.”

“Master Fang Zheng is wrong. Eradicating the Demon Sect is to uphold justice. How can it be considered as killing?”

Yue Buqun spoke, still with an awe-inspiring attitude, then looked at Ren Woxing opposite him with a gloomy look.

“He is a despicable villain, but he is full of morality.”

Ren Woxing was not willing to be outdone. He snorted coldly with contempt and returned the look with the same look.

“But it’s definitely a tie at the moment.”

Taoist Chongxu also stood up and made a suggestion.

“There have been many casualties today. Even if we want to compete again, we have to wait until we have recovered some strength. It is better to disperse now and talk about it another day.”

“no!”

Ren Woxing shouted loudly with a grim expression and spoke directly.

“Today is a fight to the death, there is no point in talking about it later!”

“Not bad!”

Yue Buqun also had a gloomy expression on his face, and his voice did not show any hesitation.

“Today we will decide whether to live or die!”

Seeing that both sides were so persistent, Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu looked at each other with helplessness on their faces.

After all, they were only here to bear witness and could not decide anything.

“Since five games cannot determine the winner, let’s add one more game.”

Ren Woxing spoke again and looked at Yue Buqun provocatively.

The Five Mountains Sword Sect already has few masters, and in the end even Tianyi, who was just there to make up the numbers, was sent out. If they were to have another match, who else could they send? Wouldn’t the Sun Moon Divine Sect surely win?

“That’s a good idea.”

Ren Woxing could see through what he was thinking at a glance, and even Yue Buqun, such an old fox, nodded.

But before Ren Woxing could be happy, he smiled and said.

“There’s no need to look for anyone else. Master Ren wants to compete with Yue, right? Then let’s have a competition between you and me!” “You?”

Ren Woxing looked Yue Buqun up and down with contempt on his face.

The Dugu Nine Swords are indeed powerful, but they also depend on who uses them.

Yue Buqun’s current swordsmanship is far from comparable to Feng Qingyang’s back then, but Ren Woxing is not afraid of him.

Of course, he was not sure of winning.

Having just watched Yue Buqun and Shangguan Yun fighting, Ren Woxing thought to himself that if it were him, he would probably find it difficult to cope with some of their moves.

As for the Star Absorbing Technique, when Yue Buqun uses a sword, he must try his best to avoid physical contact with him, so it would be even more difficult to grasp Yue Buqun’s acupoints.

The Star Absorbing Technique was indeed powerful, but it was mainly used to quickly accumulate internal energy. In a real life-and-death fight, it was not easy to defeat the enemy with this magical skill.

After all, manipulating acupoints to absorb energy is too restrictive.

“We agreed to have five matches, and each of us has selected five people. In that case, let’s have another match, and let the remaining people join together!”

“You mean, maybe…”

Yue Buqun narrowed his eyes slightly and sneered.

“You and Xiang Wentian are fighting against me and Master Dingyi?”

“Exactly.”

“Master Ren is very calculating.”

Yue Buqun snorted coldly, with a mocking look on his face.

Although Master Dingyi defeated Jia Bu, she was already seriously injured. It would be of no use for her to go on the field at this time. Instead, she would be a burden.

So, although it is two against two, in fact they want two people to beat him alone!
“It’s still the same as before. Since we want to see who is better and who lives or dies, we will fight to the end. Whoever survives will be the winner. Isn’t that fair?”

Ren Woxing sneered and said slowly.

“Master Yue refused. Could it be that he admitted defeat?”

“fart!”

“What nonsense!”

The argument reached this point, and everyone in the Five Mountains Sword Sect started to rebuke this view, of course, they did not agree with this point of view.

Especially the people of Hengshan Sect, they were even more unwilling to see Master Dingyi die in vain.

“This is fear!”

“I barely won two games by trickery, otherwise I would have lost long ago!”

The Sun and Moon Sect retorted with ridicule and sarcasm.

For a moment, both sides started arguing and swearing at each other.

They are all people from the martial arts world, and no matter whether it is the Sun Moon Divine Sect or the Five Mountains Sword Sect, none of them is not used to being rampant and will not give in to each other.

But the quarrel never came to any conclusion, so violence ensued.

“No!”

“Today is a competition, not a group fight!”

Seeing the situation deteriorating, Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu stepped forward to stop it.

But as the dispute between the two sides deepens, even they may find it difficult to appease them.

“Although I am injured, I am not afraid of the demons from the Demon Cult!”

Seeing that Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu were unable to control the situation, Master Dingyi, who had been regulating her breathing and had recovered a little, suddenly stood up and said in a deep voice.

“What if we have another fight? I can still kill another demon from the Demon Cult!”

“it is good!”

Even though he was scolded, Ren Woxing cheered loudly and said with a smile.

“Master Dingyi is indeed heroic, much more so than any other man! From now on, I, Ren Woxing, will add you to the list of people I admire!”

“Don’t flatter me, let’s fight to the death!”

“hehe.”

Ren Woxing sneered again and turned to Yue Buqun.

“Master Yue, Master Dingyi has already agreed. Are you afraid?”

“I’m not afraid.”

Yue Buqun snorted lightly and looked at Master Dingyi beside him with a deep gaze.

Yue Buqun is ambitious and wants to merge the Five Mountains, but Master Dingyi has been hindering him.

If there is another fight, Master Dingyi will definitely die!
If Master Dingyi died, it would not be a bad thing for him.

As for fighting one against two, Yue Buqun’s swordsmanship has improved in the past few months and his confidence has soared again.

I believe that even if I can’t win, I will definitely not lose.

“Humph.”

Master Dingyi also glanced at Yue Buqun and snorted in her heart.

Yue Buqun wanted to annex the Hengshan Sect, just like Zuo Lengchan did in the past, or even worse.

Although Master Dingyi tried her best to stop him, over the past few months, thanks to his many battles with the Sun Moon Sect, Yue Buqun’s reputation in the Five Mountains has become increasingly high, almost surpassing Zuo Lengchan back then.

As for martial arts, Master Dingyi had to admit that Yue Buqun, who had practiced the Dugu Nine Swords, was already a top master in the world.

If this continues, even if she risks her life, she will not be able to stop Yue Buqun.

Why not take advantage of this opportunity today to drag Yue Buqun into the water!

If she died at the hands of Ren Woxing, even though the Five Mountains Sword Sect would lose today, no one in the Five Mountains would be able to advocate a merger, and the Hengshan Sect would be preserved.

The current Hengshan Sect is not only the result of the painstaking efforts of successive ancestors, but also the result of the desperate efforts of her senior sister, Master Dingxian, to maintain it. Master Dingyi will never allow anyone to destroy the Hengshan Sect!

“it is good!”

After pondering for a while, Yue Buqun nodded and looked at Ren Woxing with a sneer.

“Then let’s have this final match between the four of us!”

“readily!”

Yue Buqun actually agreed, and Ren Woxing looked delighted.

The two sides reached an agreement and there was no need to argue anymore. Both sides stepped back again to make room.

Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu looked at each other and sat back down.

Then, the four of them went on stage again and glared at each other.

Seeing this, disciples from both sides became nervous. This unexpected sixth match would not only be a four-person battle, but would also be the most intense one of the day.

“Master.”

The Hengshan School disciples looked at Master Dingyi, whose figure was swaying on the field, with tears in their eyes.

Before Master Dingyi came on stage, she had already told the disciples of Hengshan Sect that after her death, Yiqing would take over as the leader of Hengshan Sect.

“Demon cult monster, prepare to die!”

Using all her remaining strength and shouting loudly, Master Dingyi rushed forward first, holding a long sword.

He could not even walk steadily, so he stood with his hands behind his back, not wanting to take any action.

Xiang Wentian had a gloomy expression and raised the long sword in his hand.

Poof~!

He took a step forward to meet Master Dingyi, dodged the powerless sword, and thrust the tip of the knife into Master Dingyi’s chest.

Master Dingyi had blood oozing from the corners of her mouth. She turned around to look at the disciples of Hengshan Sect and collapsed.

“Master.”

Everyone from the Hengshan Sect hugged each other and burst into tears.

Regardless of the competition going on, he rushed over and took back the body of Master Dingyi.

Swish~!

Taking advantage of the chaos, Yue Buqun jumped up, and the sword flashed across the air, stabbing straight at Xiang Wentian.

It is better to cut off one finger than to hurt ten fingers. Yue Buqun plans to kill Xiang Wentian first and then fight Ren Woxing with all his strength.

Bang~!

Although Xiang Wentian’s martial arts skills were not as good as Yue Buqun’s, he was still a master of the time after all, so how could he be killed so easily?

He raised his sword horizontally to block Yue Buqun’s sword.

Hurrah~!

Ren Woxing was standing nearby, and he used his palm to strike Yue Buqun hard.

Yue Buqun was prepared and dodged sideways, circling his sword and still stabbing at Xiang Wentian.

After Master Dingyi died, Yue Buqun fought one against two, and the three of them fought together.

After this battle, regardless of the outcome, who lives and who dies, the situation in the martial arts world is bound to change again.
