Chapter 61 Forced "It is against etiquette to use force on a festive day," Ning Zhongze objected. "We are all from the martial arts world. We are used to seeing the flashing of swords and the fighting of sabers. This little thing won't be a problem." Zuo Lengchan insisted. As the leader of the Five Mountains, Zuo Lengchan had a wide range of plans. Therefore, he received news of what happened in Huguang area early on. The reputation of the peerless swordsman spread widely, and his record of defeating hundreds of people shocked the martial arts world. Naturally, he became wary of the Huashan Sect, which was once the leader of the Five Mountains. Now he intervenes in the succession of the leader of Huashan Sect in order to test the current strength of Huashan Sect. Yue Buqun was silent for a while, then responded helplessly. "In that case, let's follow what Senior Brother Zuo said." He knew that the other party's mention of the Demon Cult was a subtle threat. The Huashan Sect is weak now. Without the support of the Five Mountains Alliance, it will not have the capital to fight against the Demon Cult. The weak do not have the ability to say no.
Therefore, even though he knew that Zuo Lengchan had evil intentions, he had no choice but to agree. "Chong'er, since your uncle Zuo wants to see my Huashan martial arts, you go up and show it to me." Yue Buqun called out Linghu Chong's name. Linghu Chong was a little confused. When it came to martial arts, the most recommended person in Huashan Sect was the eldest brother Jin Renfeng. Since they wanted to show their martial arts, naturally the strongest person should take the lead. Why did he let him step forward instead? However, he did not dare to disobey the decision made by his master. He could only respond, step onto the field, and perform swordplay. Each move is rigorous and orderly, with solid internal strength. Such martial arts skills are among the best among the disciples of the Five Mountains Sword Sect. When all the martial artists saw this, they all nodded. At this age, he has such martial arts skills, he is truly a young talent. However, Zuo Lengchan frowned. He is a great master of swordsmanship, and the current Songshan swordsmanship was reorganized by him. In Zuo Lengchan's eyes, the swordsmanship used by Linghu Chong was truly mediocre and had no advantages. Thinking of the Huashan Sect's reputation more than a decade ago, and the unparalleled swordsman who had recently become famous, he couldn't help but feel suspicious. Could it be that Yue Buqun is deliberately hiding his abilities? "Practicing sword alone does not reveal the level of martial arts. Shi Dengda, go and practice with your junior brother." Zuo Lengchan said. Seeing that he couldn't see anything, he wanted to use some means to force out Linghu Chong's real kung fu. As soon as he finished speaking, a young man in yellow clothes stepped out from the crowd behind Zuo Lengchan, answered yes, and walked into the arena. Shi Dengda was eighteen or nineteen years old, which was the prime of his youth. How could he be compared to Linghu Chong who was only twelve years old? The body alone has become much bigger. In addition, having practiced internal sword skills for several years, Linghu Chong was naturally no match for him. He was defeated miserably after a dozen moves. "Master, I am incompetent and have brought shame to our sect!"
After the defeat, Linghu Chong's face turned red and he knelt in front of Yue Buqun in shame to apologize. Yue Buqun had a calm expression, consoled him a few times, and let him return to his original position. Seeing Linghu Chong defeated, Zuo Lengchan said, "If Huashan disciples are only at this level, I cannot agree to Junior Brother Yue inheriting the position of the headmaster. How about waiting for another two years, when Junior Brother has taught the disciples well, and then taking over?" Ning Zhongze became very anxious when he heard this. If the succession of the leader of Huashan was delayed for two years because of Zuo Lengchan's words, the Huashan Sect would become a laughing stock in the world. Yue Buqun shook his head slowly and said, "Now that the headmaster ceremony is imminent and all the heroes have arrived, it is absolutely impossible to delay the inauguration." “Since you are unwilling, Junior Brother Yue, you’d better send out some more capable disciples.” Zuo Lengchan said coldly. “I’ve long heard that there’s a disciple at Mount Hua, known as the Peerless Swordsman, who has made a great name for himself in Xiangyang. Today Junior Brother Yue has taken over as the leader, so why not let him come out for a competition? What do you think?” Zuo Lengchan revealed his true intentions. Since the martial arts of the ordinary disciples at Mount Hua were mediocre, he would directly attack the “Peerless Swordsman” and force him to come out. He wanted to see what kind of strength this young disciple had that could defeat a hundred people. Hearing this, Yue Buqun immediately knew Zuo Lengchan's purpose. His face remained expressionless as he spoke. "The so-called swordsman title is just a compliment from the people in the martial arts world. My disciple's martial arts skills are not even up to par." "No matter what, we have to compete. Otherwise, it will be difficult for Junior Brother Yue to inherit the position of the head of the sect today." Zuo Lengchan threatened. Yue Buqun looked helpless. Seeing that Zuo Lengchan was not giving in, he had no choice. Finally, he pointed at the golden phoenix and said, "Ren Feng, since your uncle Zuo wants to see it, then you can go on stage and practice it." "Disciple obeys the order." Jin Renfeng bowed and then strode into the arena. Seeing his master being forced like this by Zuo Lengchan, he couldn't wait any longer. Yue Buqun was always calm. If it was someone else, he might be worried, but he was very confident about this eldest disciple. Even he couldn't take advantage of Jin Renfeng, let alone Shi Dengda. "This is the peerless swordsman!" Seeing Jin Renfeng coming on stage, the heroes who had heard about what happened in Xiangyang began to discuss. Yu Tiecheng and others took the opportunity to explain what happened that day to those present. The Sword Destroyed the Demon Sect's Incense Master, whichever sect it was, was a big deal. Soon, Jin Renfeng's reputation spread. The heroes in the field came from all over the world. Some of them knew each other well, while others just admired each other and had never met each other. But they all loved to be lively. Hearing that the young man had actually single-handedly killed the Demon Sect's leader with a sword, there was a burst of exclamations and a loud noise in the field.
"Please advise!" In the field, Jin Renfeng said lightly. Zuo Lengchan's repeated rudeness really angered Jin Renfeng, so much so that he even skipped the formalities. Stendar clasped his fists and saluted. Both sides drew their swords and stood in the middle of the field. Zuo Lengchan narrowed his eyes and watched every move of both parties. His eyes were cold. He had already known the details of what happened in Xiangyang from people from the Tiequan Escort Agency and others. Even he was shocked when he heard about that kind of record. Zuo Lengchan believed that he could not fight against three hundred demons alone. How did this kid do it? He didn't understand. Because of his suspicion, Zuo Lengchan wanted to take this opportunity to get some clues. While Zuo Lengchan was thinking, The golden phoenix in the field just pointed its toes, and its body floated up, turning into a series of afterimages and appeared in front of Shi Tenda. Then, a cold light flashed, and a sword blade went straight to the opponent's chest. After practicing the light skill of "Floating on Water", Jin Renfeng's body movement speed has become several times faster than before. Shi Dengda was horrified, as he had never expected the other party's Qinggong to be so powerful. He swung the sword in his hand and tried his best to block it upwards, using a move called "Changing the Sky and the Sun" and finally the move caught up with him. The sword blades crossed, and the Ziwei soft sword collided with the Songshan long sword. (End of this chapter)
