Among the second generation disciples of Huashan, only Jiang Ning is at the same level as him, and the two are evenly matched. In every previous internal assessment, he and Jiang Ning had always been tied. Now they haven’t seen each other for a month, and no one has presided over the internal assessment during this period when Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze are not in Huashan. They haven’t competed for several months, so he wants to compete with Jiang Ning again to see who has made further progress.

Jiang Ning had no objection.

To him, Linghu Chong was indeed a very good opponent. Although he was not afraid of Yue Buqun hurting him when fighting with him, the opponent’s strength far exceeded his and he would definitely hold back. He could not intuitively feel how much he had improved during the competition.

“Hey, Junior Brother, we were tied in the last duel, let’s do it again this time.”

Linghu Chong winked at Jiang Ning and smiled.

“Although my senior brother has been down the mountain for this month, I haven’t been lazy.”

Jiang Ning nodded and put his hand on the hilt of the sword.

“Please give me some advice, senior brother.”

When they heard that Linghu Chong was going to compete with Jiang Ning, Lu Dayou, Gao Genming and other Huashan disciples’ eyes lit up and they couldn’t help but look forward to it.

“You just entered my Huashan sect yesterday and were lucky enough to encounter the sect’s internal assessment, the disciple competition. Now your eldest brother and junior brother Jiang Ning are competing. They are the two with the highest martial arts skills among your generation of disciples. Watch carefully and learn well.”

Ning Zhongze spoke gently to the children at the side.

The young children nodded in confusion, then stared at the center of the martial arts training ground without blinking, looking very serious.

“Come on, big brother! Come on, big brother!”

Before the fight even started, Yue Lingshan started yelling and screaming, with her hands cupped to her mouth, like a cheerleader.

The other disciples also smiled when they saw her like this.

The eldest senior brother and the younger junior sister have been childhood sweethearts and have a very deep relationship.

Yue Buqun glared at her.

“What a shame in shouting and screaming.”

Yue Lingshan put down her hands in disappointment and made a face where Yue Buqun couldn’t see.

“Come on, Junior Brother Jiang Ning.”

It’s not that there were no people who encouraged Jiang Ning, Du Lanyin was one of them.

However, she was not like Yue Lingshan. Instead, she opened her eyes wide and stared closely at Linghu Chong and Jiang Ning in the martial arts training ground. She clenched her hands slightly and silently cheered for Jiang Ning in her heart.

Zheng~

Linghu Chong drew his sword, took a step back with his left leg, leaned forward, and made an attacking gesture, ready to kill.

But the next second.

call out!

There was a sound of breaking air, and a sharp sword turned in the air and then stabbed towards his face.

Linghu Chong, who originally wanted to take action first to gain the upper hand, had no choice but to switch from offense to defense when he saw this. He turned his wrist and used the long sword in his hand to knock the sword down in mid-air.

After defusing this attack, Linghu Chong prepared to counterattack, but the light in front of him suddenly dimmed and a dark shadow enveloped him.

Jiang Ning had a stern look on his face. He raised his left hand, bent his arm inward, and used the hardest part of his arm, the elbow, to strike down hard on the right side of Linghu Chong’s face.

A whistling sound came from his ears, and Linghu Chong’s face became serious. Facing this sudden attack, he had no time to counterattack. He could only raise his right hand to defend his face. At the same time, he was also shocked.

Junior brother’s speed is faster than before.

Bang!

A muffled sound was heard between Linghu Chong and Jiang Ning.

Linghu Chong couldn’t help but frown as he felt a sharp pain in his arm. The opponent’s strength was so great that he couldn’t help but bend his body downward, and the hand holding the sword trembled.

Jiang Ning looked down at Linghu Chong from above. He stretched out his right hand, grabbed the sword he had just thrown, grasped the hilt, turned his wrist, and swept it upwards violently.

With a flash of cold light, Linghu Chong couldn’t help but blink his eyelids as he looked at the sharp sword that was raised up. He used his arms to push Jiang Ning away, and at the same time, he stepped back sharply to increase the distance between them.

He lost the initiative in the previous few rounds and fell into a disadvantage. He couldn’t continue fighting, otherwise he would become more and more passive.

Chapter 17: The Phoenix Arrives

“Ning’er’s methods are becoming more and more cruel.”

Ning Zhongze, who was watching the game, frowned slightly.

Although it was a duel between fellow disciples in the sect, Jiang Ning showed no mercy at this time and his moves were ruthless.

Yue Buqun did not say anything, but watched the fight between the two people in the field with a calm expression.

Unlike other disciples who only fought to a limited extent, the duel between Linghu Chong and Jiang Ning was serious.

Both Linghu Chong and Jiang Ning are outstanding disciples of Yue Buqun, and he values ​​them very much.

Although the monthly internal examination is intended to assess the students’ academic progress, it also gives them a chance to practice. He then watches from the side, points out their shortcomings and helps them correct them.

It’s just that the other disciples’ martial arts skills are not that good, and Yue Buqun just asks them to stop when they are qualified. However, Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong are the leaders of Huashan Sect, so they are naturally different from other disciples.

Only real combat can lead to the fastest progress.

This was not only his opinion, but also that of Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong.

And doing so can inspire the passion of both of them in martial arts training.

There is no need to talk about Jiang Ning. Even Yue Buqun himself is probably not as hardworking as him.

After all, he has a wife.

Sometimes he worried that Jiang Ning was too obsessed with practicing martial arts and that something might happen to Jiang Ning’s body.

But Linghu Chong is different.

Although his eldest disciple has good talent, he has a lazy personality. He will move if you poke him, and will not move if you don’t.

When Linghu Chong’s strength reached the level of a second-rate master, there was no disciple in the sect who was stronger than him. At that time, Jiang Ning had not yet reached the level of a second-rate master. Linghu Chong became lazy, went down the mountain to play and drink, and was not as diligent as before in practicing martial arts.

In order to urge him on, Yue Buqun took Linghu Chong to visit other Five Mountains sword sects for a period of time. One reason was to build relationships with them, and the other was to let Linghu Chong compete with disciples from other sects so that he would have a sense of crisis.

But he had visited all the Five Mountains Sword Sects, even the Songshan Sect. The second-generation disciples of the four major sword sects were all picked by Linghu Chong, and none of them was his match. At that time, people from other Five Mountains Sword Sects thought that he, Yue Buqun, was here to cause trouble. Fei Bin, Lu Bai and other people of his generation from the Songshan Sect almost came down to challenge him in person.

Yue Buqun had no choice but to terminate this activity.

He never thought of taking Linghu Chong to visit Shaolin and Wudang.

The Five Mountains Sword Sects are all of the same blood. Even though the Songshan Sect wants to annex the other four sects, it has not yet started to take action. It is only preparing secretly, so they still maintain the alliance friendship on the surface.

But Shaolin and Wudang are different, they are two major righteous sects. If Yue Buqun takes Linghu Chong to Shaoshi Mountain and Wudang Mountain to challenge his second-generation disciples, it will not be a competition but a provocation.

Originally, Yue Buqun wanted to put some external pressure on Linghu Chong, but after coming back from that time, Linghu Chong discovered that his second-generation disciple in the Five Mountains Sword Sect was actually the most powerful in martial arts, so he became even lazier, which gave Yue Buqun a headache.

The situation did not improve until Jiang Ning reached the level of a second-rate master.

Jiang Ning is talented, young, and hardworking. In the beginning of the internal assessment competition, Linghu Chong was able to suppress him, but after a while, Jiang Ning was no longer at a disadvantage. After another period of time, the two were evenly matched. Before this internal assessment, the previous competitions were evenly matched and ended in a draw.

Linghu Chong is no longer able to suppress Jiang Ning at all. The two are at the same level of strength. If he did not have the experience of traveling outside and having gone through real fights and having rich combat experience, he would have been defeated if he was careless.

A young and strong man is better than a strong one, and Jiang Ning is stronger than him now.

Feeling the pressure from his junior fellow apprentice, Linghu Chong stopped being lazy and practiced diligently without Yue Buqun’s urging, and went down the mountain less often.

So even though Jiang Ning has been working hard to practice, he is not standing still.

The two of them progressed quickly.

Yue Buqun was very satisfied with this.

He knew Linghu Chong very well. Although Linghu Chong had a lazy personality, he was actually proud in his heart. He would become lazy when there was no one stronger than him. But when he found that his fellow apprentice in his own sect was gradually catching up with him and even surpassing him, he would also practice with all his might.

The fight between the two now seems dangerous, but Yue Buqun has been watching. As long as the other party is in real danger of life, he will take action immediately.

when!

The crisp sound of metal.

Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong raised their swords and slashed at each other, the smooth sword blades reflecting their faces.

Linghu Chong looked at the face so close to him seriously, without any cynical look from before, and his hair was flying in front of his forehead.

“I haven’t had a fight in a few months. Junior brother’s martial arts have improved again.”

Jiang Ning’s eyes were cold and he remained silent.

Linghu Chong was not surprised, as that was his junior brother’s fighting style. He didn’t talk nonsense during the battle.

However, while he was speaking, Jiang Ning raised his hand and slapped him on the chest. Linghu Chong was startled and immediately stepped back.

when!when!when!

The sword flashed, and the long swords continued to slash against each other, making a sharp and piercing sound.

Taking advantage of the time when Linghu Chong was retreating, Jiang Ning slashed three times with his sword, each one more powerful than the last, and the veins on his arms bulged under his sleeves.

Linghu Chong could hardly defend himself against these three sword strikes. The hilt of the sword kept vibrating and his hand holding the sword was shaking.

Looking at Jiang Ning who was advancing rapidly and chasing him relentlessly, Linghu Chong gritted his teeth, his expression tense, and let out a long howl.

“I haven’t wasted this time!”

Linghu Chong raised his sword with all his strength and swept it, repelling Jiang Ning’s attack. He then leaned down, slightly bent his legs, put some force on his toes, and stabbed upward with his wrist at a tricky angle.

Linghu Chong attached his inner strength to the long sword, which made a clanging sound and the sharp edge of the sword brought a stinging sensation.

Linghu Chong’s sword was much faster than before.

“not good!”

Upon seeing this, Yue Buqun’s eyes narrowed, and he exerted force on his feet, and quickly rushed towards Jiang Ning and Linghu Chong.

This sword was too fast. If it hit Jiang Ning, he would either die or be seriously injured.

【The world-weary man, car special chapter 1 ㈦ 九 ⑨ ④ 3 一 6 ⒋】

Looking at the sword tip that was approaching in the blink of an eye, Jiang Ning was not panicked, his eyes remained calm. The moment the sword stabbed at him, Jiang Ning turned his head and tilted his upper body to the right. The sword tip passed by his cheek and cut his skin.

A string of blood beads sprinkled in the air.

As his body tilted to the right, Jiang Ning raised his left hand, and pinched the tip of Linghu Chong’s sword with his index and middle fingers. His internal force was transferred to his left hand, resisting the internal force belonging to Linghu Chong on the sword.

At the same time, Jiang Ning pushed his right hand holding the sword forward, and the sword in his hand stabbed straight at Linghu Chong’s throat. The speed was so fast that Linghu Chong’s pupils constricted, and he could already feel a faint stinging sensation in his throat.
