Chapter 178 Appearance
“I’m late.”

Taking a look at the bodies of Master Dingyi, Tianyi, Liu Zhengfeng and others, Lu Nanxing sighed secretly.

Although he tried his best to hurry on his way, he was still a step too late.

It is inevitable that you will get hurt when you are in the world. I used to think it was just a joke from a gangster, but now I deeply understand the helplessness behind this joke.

Once you enter the world, you have no choice but to do what you want. Death may come at any time.

After a slight sigh, Lu Nanxing looked at the three people fighting on the field and sneered again.

Yue Buqun, Ren Woxing, and Xiang Wentian. Xiang Wentian is unimportant, but the remaining two are the source of all the troubles in the martial arts world today.

At this moment, they were fighting to the death. In Lu Nanxing’s view, it was like a dog biting a dog or a ghost fighting a ghost. No matter who lost and was killed, it would be a good thing for Lu Nanxing personally, and it would be a blessing for the entire martial arts world.

“You are really overconfident.”

However, judging from the current situation, the loser should be Yue Buqun.

The Dugu Nine Swords is indeed powerful, and can be called the best sword technique in the world, but at the same time, this sword technique requires too high a level of aptitude and understanding.

Apart from Feng Qingyang, I’m afraid no one can master this sword technique to perfection, not even Linghu Chong.

Although Linghu Chong is a good talent, unfortunately he was misled by Yue Buqun in the early stage. Many things have been engraved into his bones and can never be erased in his lifetime.

The reason why Feng Qingyang still taught him Dugu Jiujian was because even so, he was much stronger than those useless people in Huashan Qi Sect. Feng Qingyang had to find a successor in Huashan Sect, and there was no better choice than Linghu Chong.

As for Yue Buqun, this rotten wooden man, in terms of scheming and cunning, no one can match him, but his understanding of swordsmanship is really not up to par.

In this way, Yue Buqun was unable to use the essence of Dugu Nine Swords at all.

In addition, the practice time was too short, and the power and effect were further reduced.

It would be difficult to defeat Ren Woxing with such a half-baked Dugu Nine Swords, not to mention that Ren Woxing has Xiang Wentian’s helper.

“hateful!”

The fact was just as Lu Nanxing had deduced. At this moment in the field, Yue Buqun was fighting one against two. Although his offensive seemed to be still fierce, he was gradually falling into defeat.

After the five matches agreed upon earlier, which were only in the evening, it was already late at night. Yue Buqun fought one against two, fighting fiercely with Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian for several hours.

Relying on the Dugu Nine Swords, he was able to gain the upper hand at first, but as time went on, it became increasingly disadvantageous to him.

In the final analysis, he did not comprehend the essence of Dugu Nine Swords, did not know how to use the swordsmanship, and mostly relied on the sword moves themselves. After so much time, how many moves could not be used?

At first, it could still catch the enemy by surprise, but now, as the moves have become more and more familiar to Ren Woxing and even Xiang Wentian, they are gradually no longer a threat.

In this way, not only will they not be able to hurt the two of them, but it will be easy for them to discover their flaws and counterattack.

“Stop being so arrogant!”

Originally, the sword had forced Xiang Wentian into a corner with no way to retreat, but Ren Woxing shouted loudly and attacked with a palm from the side.

Yue Buqun frowned, not wanting to let Xiang Wentian go, but if he didn’t stop, even if Ren Woxing’s palm didn’t take his life, it would definitely seriously injure him.

I hesitated for a moment, and just during this slight hesitation, Ren Woxing’s palm was already in front of me, and I could even feel the strong palm wind.

Yue Buqun suddenly woke up, but it was too late for him to draw his sword to counterattack, so he could only dodge quickly.

Tsk~!

When he dodged, the sword force deflected and failed to pierce Xiang Wentian’s chest, but instead slashed his shoulder.

Bang~!

But again, because he reacted too late, he failed to completely avoid Ren Woxing’s palm, which hit his left forearm.

Yue Buqun immediately took a few steps back, looked at his arm, then looked at Ren Woxing, his expression extremely gloomy.

Although he used the Zixia magic skill to protect his body in time, Ren Woxing was not an ordinary master. His forearm was fractured and he felt a sharp pain.

“Consider yourself lucky!”

Ren Woxing also looked at Yue Buqun, snorted coldly, and showed a smug look on his face.

Although he didn’t have time to use his full strength in that palm strike, it would have been enough to break the arm of an ordinary master. Yue Buqun was only slightly injured. Apart from his swordsmanship, his skills are indeed quite good.

But that’s all. Ren Woxing was confident that he had seen through Yue Buqun’s Dugu Nine Swords, and he would be able to kill him without a hundred moves!
“Not good.”

Although he was filled with resentment, Yue Buqun had already realized that if he continued to fight, he would most likely not be the opponent.

It seems that he had overestimated himself and underestimated Ren Woxing before.

But it is useless to think about these things at this time. The key is how to save your life.

After all, this is not an ordinary competition, but a fight of life and death!

Since he couldn’t win, the only option was to cancel the competition, but for the sake of his own reputation, Yue Buqun couldn’t cheat.

After a brief pause, he glanced back and gave a wink to Cong Buqi of the Huashan Sect.

Cong Buqi was an expert in the Sword Sect after all, so how could he not see that Yue Buqun was already unable to hold on?

Even if his vision was not good, Linghu Chong, who had already seen the clues and kept talking to himself impatiently, could also understand Yue Buqun’s predicament.

Previously, due to Lu Nanxing’s coercion and inducement, Jian Zongsan would not return to the martial arts world.

He failed to defeat Yue Buqun and regain the position of the head of Huashan, but later he received an invitation from Yue Buqun. After getting Lu Nanxing’s consent, the three of them returned to Huashan Sect.

He had thought that if he joined forces with Lu Nanxing, there would still be a chance, but he never expected that when Lu Nanxing was at the peak of his career, he would perish together with Dongfang Bubai.

The three brothers lost hope and had to make new plans.

Feng Buping still wanted to compete for the position of the head sect leader, but Yue Buqun was so shrewd and calculating that he knew what he was thinking. In order to balance him, he took the initiative to win over Cong Buqi and Cheng Buyou.

Cheng Buyou still had some backbone and just expressed his agreement, but Cong Buqi was a complete fence-sitter and had already defected to Yue Buqun.

If Yue Buqun died and Feng Buping came to power, how could he end up well?

For his own sake, he must also rescue Yue Buqun!
As for how to solve it, it is actually simple.

“To bully the minority with the majority, what kind of hero is that!”

Cong Buqi shouted loudly, pointing at the Sun Moon Sect opposite and cursed loudly.

“The Demon Cult is still a Demon Cult after all, and they only know how to use such despicable means!”

“That’s right!”

The Huashan Sect disciples nearby also echoed loudly.

“Even if the remaining people compete, it should be one to one. Our leader’s swordsmanship is unparalleled, and we are not afraid even if you fight in turns. Who knew you were so shameless and rushed in all at once!”

“Fart! What nonsense!”

“What a bunch of hypocritical sanctimonious people. When they can’t win, they just make excuses. How shameless!”

The followers of the Sun and Moon Sect were lucky enough not to bully others on a normal basis, so how could they tolerate being scolded for no reason? They immediately scolded back one by one.

After all, it is known as the Demonic Sect, and its wording is much more direct than that of the Huashan Sect.

“Who are you calling hypocritical?”

“The Demon Cult is shameless!”

There were only a few people at first, but after hearing the foul language from the other side, the others couldn’t help but speak up.

At first, there was only the Huashan Sect, but soon, the other four sects also got involved.

Not to mention the blood feuds in the past, just now, except for the Huashan Sect, people from the other four sects died at the hands of the Sun and Moon Sect.

“Fuck him! I’m going to kill you today!”

Curses were heard everywhere, and the Sun Moon Divine Sect gradually lost control of their anger, with some people already clenching their weapons tightly.

“Destroy demons and defend the Way!”

On the side of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, someone shouted loudly, and a steel needle flew out.

A disciple of the Sun and Moon Sect was hit right in the middle. The unlucky guy fell to the ground and died before he knew what had happened.

“Damn it! Get started!”

“Kill them all!”

Seeing people being killed here, how could the people from the Sun and Moon Sect tolerate this anymore? They shouted and rushed forward.

“Brothers! Come on!”

The Five Mountains Sword Sect shouted and rushed forward.

The next moment, a melee broke out between the two sides.

The competition between Yue Buqun and other three was naturally interrupted.

“Eradicate the evil cult!”

Yue Buqun smiled lightly and shouted again.

“Despicable!”

He had already secured victory, but was suddenly disrupted. Ren Woxing reacted immediately and cursed angrily.

But the fight had already begun, and it was not easy to stop it.

After all, even if he could restrain the people of the Sun Moon Divine Sect, he couldn’t control the Five Mountains Sword Sect. He couldn’t just let the people of the Sun Moon Divine Sect stand there and get beaten without fighting back.

As for Master Fangzheng and Taoist Master Chongxu, although they tried their best to stop it, they were just witnesses after all, and neither side listened.

As a result, the originally planned martial arts competition turned into a huge melee, and it seemed that the top of Huashan Mountain was about to become a river of blood. “Stop it!”

Just when Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu were getting anxious, there was a loud shout and a figure jumped out from a great height.

Hearing the sound, some people couldn’t help but look up, but it was dark at night and they couldn’t see clearly.

Furthermore, in such a chaotic scene, many people didn’t even hear it and were still fighting.

Boom~!

The man descended from the sky, and without further ado, he slapped his palm in the middle of the open space. With a dull thud, the force of his palm was like a hurricane, instantly blowing away twenty or thirty people, leaving an empty space.

“who!”

Such a movement immediately attracted everyone’s attention, and they subconsciously stopped and looked.

I saw a figure slowly falling from mid-air.

“Yes……”

“Head!”

“Alliance leader!”

When they saw Lu Nanxing, everyone’s eyes widened, their faces filled with shock.

Whether it is the Five Mountains Sword Sect or the Sun and Moon Sect.

“Great! The leader is not dead!”

“I knew it. I knew that Brother Lu would not die.”

On the side of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, most people were naturally happy, especially the Taishan Sect and the Hengshan Sect.

Yi Lin, Yi Qing, Yue Lingshan and others burst into tears of joy when they saw Lu Nanxing appear.

But some people frowned.

Compared with Ren Woxing and others from the Sun Moon Sect, Yue Buqun’s expression was even uglier.

“Great!”

Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu came over quickly, also with excited faces.

They also didn’t expect that Lu Nanxing would come back alive.

“All disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect listen to my orders!”

Without even bothering to greet the two, Lu Nanxing’s face darkened and he shouted at everyone.

“I am ordering everyone to stop as the leader of the Five Mountains!”

“Yes.”

After receiving Lu Nanxing’s order, most people stopped immediately.

“When the demons from the Demon Cult attack us, can’t we fight back?”

But there are still a few people who do not agree, or rather, deliberately challenge Lu Nanxing’s authority.

“Let’s see who dares!”

Lu Nanxing’s expression froze and he looked around.

There happened to be several disciples of the Sun and Moon Sect who wanted to attack.

Bang~!

The next moment, they seemed to be controlled by a force and lifted straight into the air.

“This is……”

Seeing this scene, everyone was stunned.

Looking at Lu Nanxing again, he was spreading out his palms, his face full of shock again.

Coming back to their senses, Ren Woxing, Yue Buqun and the others frowned. Capturing people from mid-air seemed like some kind of martial arts like capturing a dragon or controlling a crane.

But simply capturing dragons and controlling cranes is far from this level.

Even Master Fangzheng and Taoist Chongxu looked at each other with shock in their eyes.

This kind of ability can be called a divine method.

“Humph.”

Lu Nanxing snorted softly and threw those Sun Moon Sect disciples dozens of meters away, which again caused everyone to exclaim in amazement.

In this case, who would dare to disobey Lu Nanxing’s wishes?

Immediately afterwards, the two gangs separated and confronted each other.

“Master Fang Zheng, Taoist Master Chongxu.”

Lu Nanxing had just met the two of them at this time, and then turned to the people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect and spoke directly.

“I came back from the sea and encountered a Japanese pirate ship. I learned that tens of thousands of Japanese pirates will land in Dengzhou Prefecture soon and burn, kill and loot the people of our Ming Dynasty! All disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, listen to the order of our leader and go to Dengzhou Prefecture immediately to help the local garrison and resist the Japanese pirates!”

“Japanese pirates…”

“Tens of thousands of people?”

Upon hearing the news, everyone was surprised again.

They looked at each other and talked a lot for a while.

No one doubted the authenticity of this news.

After all, Lu Nanxing is of such a high status that he would never make such a boring joke.

But many people were skeptical about asking them to resist the Japanese pirates.

After all, even if all the disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect were gathered together, how many people would there be? With such a huge difference in numbers, one can imagine how dangerous this trip would be.

It’s not that they are simply afraid of death. Resisting the Japanese pirates is the government’s job, but they are asking people like them to die. It’s really hard to accept that.

Yue Buqun stood in the crowd, pondered for a moment, and a slight smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Lu Nanxing loves to do this kind of unnecessary things, but for him, it is an opportunity.

Then he signaled Cong Buqi next to him to ask him to question.

Unexpectedly, Cong Buqi, who had always obeyed his orders, actually lowered his head this time and did not listen to his orders at all.

Yue Buqun frowned and looked at the other people from the Five Mountains Sword Sect. Although many of them were dissatisfied, no one dared to say anything.

After all, Lu Nanxing is not only the leader of the alliance, but also a martial arts master, especially the skills he just demonstrated, which are so superb. Who would dare to defy him head-on?

“Alliance Master Lu.”

Since no one was taking the lead, Yue Buqun had no choice but to go ahead himself and said loudly.

“Fighting against the Japanese pirates is the imperial court’s business. Why should we let the disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect fight to the death?”

“That’s right.”

“Yes.”

For a moment, many people murmured in agreement.

Lu Nanxing narrowed his eyes and looked at Yue Buqun with a sneer on his face.

“Does Huashan mean that we will watch hundreds of thousands of people in Dengzhou die without helping them?”

“This……”

The lives and property of hundreds of thousands of people, even the evil cult would not dare to take the blame!

“How can I stand by and watch someone die without helping him?”

Linghu Chong shouted loudly, filled with righteous indignation.

“People of my generation practice martial arts, how can we tolerate the Japanese pirates harming our people!”

“Yes! Senior Brother is right!”

There were still many righteous people in the Huashan Sect, and they all agreed.

Seeing the fire in his backyard, Yue Buqun frowned again, but could not say it clearly.

After a slight pause, he continued.

“The problem is, if we fight to the death, even if we defeat the Japanese pirates, we will suffer heavy losses. If the Demon Cult attacks, we will not be able to resist and will surely be destroyed by the Demon Cult! Everyone, is the foundation passed down by the ancestors going to be destroyed in our hands?”

“This……”

Using righteousness to fight righteousness, it has to be said that Yue Buqun is indeed an old fox.

For a moment, Linghu Chong and others were silent.

“Don’t worry about that.”

Lu Nanxing smiled and turned to Ren Woxing.

“We are all descendants of Yan and Huang, so the Sun Moon Divine Cult will certainly lend a helping hand!”
