Chapter 13: The Duel (Part One)

  Injustice!

  Yes, in the arena of the big comparison between Feng Nei and others, there is a subtle sense of injustice.

  Li Yuanbai, a decent person in normal times, was being bullied by Sima Changbai, who was arrogant and tyrannical. His disciples were even more overbearing, which made Sima Changbai's reputation among ordinary disciples not very good. In contrast, Li Yuanbai's reputation was much better. Now, Sima Changbai was taking advantage of Li Yuanbai's old age to bully him mercilessly.

  But what's the use of ordinary disciples being dissatisfied?

  The other four of Beifeng Liu Jian Xian did not utter a word.

  The power of ordinary disciples is so small.

  So, there is nothing but an unbalanced atmosphere.

  Nothing else but this.

  The eyes turned to the key person of the matter.

  One of the key people, naturally, was Lu Yuan. Everyone looked over and found that Lu Yuan's eyes were slightly narrowed, as if he was about to fall asleep. No way, this was too ridiculous. He had heard before that the Sixth Disciple Lu Yuan loved to sleep and was usually very lazy, but in a situation like this, could he still sleep? If so, it would be too impressive.

  Lu Yuan seemed to wake up suddenly, stretched his waist and smiled lightly: "Very well, Si Tu Zuo, Si Tu You, Si Ma Wen, Si Ma Huo, you five please ask me for guidance. It's not that I won't do it, but to win over the five of you, can't be too easy-going, need to put in some effort. Alright, try to settle this within the time it takes to burn an incense stick, and after settling it, continue sleeping. Didn't sleep well last night." He also let out a yawn.

  As soon as these words came out, they shocked heaven and earth!

  What a joke.

  Situ Left, Situ Right, Sima Wen, Sima Huo, Sima Hao. This is basically the strongest team among ordinary disciples. Ordinary disciples are mostly at the Qi Refining stage one or two layers, with a few at three or four layers being the strongest. Such a strong team is quite impressive.

  Such a team is one of the top ten true disciples who are quite good, and it's a headache to encounter them.

  Not to mention Lu Yuan, who is one of the ten true disciples and a mediocre one at that.

  According to everyone's estimation, Lu Yuan is ranked at the bottom among the top ten true disciples, and it is basically impossible for him to win against such a five-man team. After all, in the eyes of the crowd, Situ Zuo, Situ You, and Sima Hao are all practicing Qi Fourth Heavy Eight Great Qigong, and any one of them would not be weaker than Lu Yuan in terms of actual strength, let alone Sima Wen and Sima Huo, who are slightly weaker but still wouldn't be much different. Lu Yuan simply has no chance of winning at all.

  Only defeat! Can only be defeated! Defeat! That is Lu Yuan's only ending.

  What does Lu Yuan say now?

  He said he not only wanted to win but also to win within the time it takes to burn an incense stick.

  Absurdity of absurdities, all is absurdity.

  Wild talk under the wild sky, wild talk under the wild sky.

  This is absolutely nonsense.

  Lu Yuan won't be driven mad by the enormous pressure, will he?

  Otherwise, it would be impossible to say such a thing, this is simply impossible! Almost everyone thinks that Lu Yuan has gone mad.

  In the field.

  Simahao burst out laughing: "How ridiculous! How ridiculous! Lu Yuan, you must be crazy!"

  Lu Yuan smiled: "Whether I'm crazy or not, let's see in a real fight." With a movement of his hand, the hilt of Yangwu Sword was already tightly grasped, and he jumped onto the stage: "You five, who will go first?"

  "Then I'll go first." Xī Zǔo jumped onto the stage, Xī Zǔo was a tall and thin man in his thirties with a horse face. He held his sword differently from others, using his left hand. Lù Yuán had heard rumors about Xī Zǔo before, that he was originally a loose cultivator, but later joined the Huashan Sect under Sīmǎ Chángbái. It was said that his left-handed swordsmanship was extremely unusual and unpredictable.

  ——————

  "Begin."

  As the presiding elder declared the start of the battle, Situ Zuo's left hand moved swiftly, his left-handed sword already out of its scabbard. For a moment, the sword flashed and shot straight towards Lu Yuan. Lu Yuan looked over and felt that many positions around him, which were rarely pointed at by swords in peacetime, were being targeted by the sword. Situ Zuo's swordsmanship was indeed strange and completely different from others'.

  Quite bizarre.

  Generally, where swordsmanship attacks, it does not attack.

  The general sword method walks the sword path, but it doesn't walk.

  It's completely unorthodox, sinister and crooked. Moreover, since Situ Zuo is left-handed when using this sword technique, the feeling of using his left hand versus his right hand is different, which further increases the perversity, cunning, strangeness and evilness of this sword technique. For a moment, the sword shadow strangely stabs towards himself, what a biased sword technique.

  It's really hard to deal with this sword technique.

  "In an instant, Lu Yuan used the 'Cloud Gathering Unstable' move. The 'Cloud Gathering Unstable' is one of the rare defensive moves in the 108 Wind Cloud Swords. Although the Wind Cloud Swords are primarily offensive, their defensive moves are also quite impressive, such as the 'Cloud Gathering Unstable'. When this move is executed, the sword's momentum condenses like gathering clouds, making it difficult for opponents to land a hit, as if they were striking at a cloud, leaving them unable to find a weak point. This is considered a very strong defensive technique."

  "Dang dang dang" - Shi Tu's left hand sword was extremely fast, striking his own sword in a flurry of consecutive hits.

  Lu Yuan calmed down and found that although Si Tu Zuo's left-handed sword was unusual, his swordsmanship was not high-level. His moves did not contain any profound sword intent, so Lu Yuan easily parried them. Now, he began to analyze Si Tu Zuo's sword technique while defending against his attacks.

  All sword styles under the sky are composed of basic movements such as chopping, hacking, collapsing, sweeping, blocking, washing, intercepting, stabbing, stirring, pressing, hanging and clouding, without exception. Si Tu Zuo's left-handed sword is strange beyond compare, but it also consists of these basic movements.

  Swordsmanship has reached the level of sword intent, and for those who have not reached the level of sword intent, it is basically an absolute advantage.

  Lu Yuan was analyzing at the same time, and now Situ Zuo also felt quite strange. Why was this happening? No matter how he drew his sword or how strange his sword moves were, Lu Yuan could always defend against them. Moreover, his own swift and rapid sword style was like striking a cloud, feeling quite powerless.

  At this moment, Situ Zuo seemed to have the upper hand on the surface, launching a series of fierce attacks, but he himself knew that something was off, his sword always feeling like it wasn't landing with its usual force.

  Lu Yuan is a bit strange, it turns out that in the legend, Lu Yuan was just a lazy good-for-nothing, ranking last among the top ten true transmission disciples. Now it seems that's not the case.

  Lu Yuan watched as Situ Zuo's sword approached, and slowly analyzed the general movement of his left-handed sword technique. It was almost there, good, he could make his move now, no need to wait any longer.

  Suddenly, with a swift and fierce movement, "Fierce Wind Crossing the Border" "Gentle Breeze Brushing the Face"... "Layer upon Layer of Cloudy Mountains" "Clouds without Shape" One move followed another, several moves in succession, cold light flashing by, when the cold light stopped, the sword tip had already reached the base of Situ Zuo's throat.

  The overall situation has already been decided.

  Situ Zuo Leng stopped, he had just estimated that Lu Yuan was not simple, but he didn't think that he would lose so quickly. However, the sword tip now pointed at his throat was truly real.

  Lu Yuan smiled and looked at Situ Zuo: "Situ Shidi's swordsmanship is indeed not good, still needs to be practiced well." This was a verbal slap in the face for Situ Zuo. Before the battle, he had been full of confidence, but now he had lost so quickly, and being spoken to like this by Lu Yuan made his face feel hot with shame.

  At this time, except for a small number of elders, most people were stunned. The situation just now was that Situ Zuo kept launching quick attacks, while Lu Yuan only defended continuously, seemingly Situ Zuo had the upper hand, but suddenly, the outcome turned around, and Lu Yuan won with one swift counterattack.

  The situation has also reversed too quickly.

  Many people think it's impossible!

  Lu Yuan suddenly turned from being at a disadvantage to having the upper hand, and in an instant he had won. What exactly happened in this battle?

  Of course, at this time some of the elders with extremely bright eyes, such as Yuanyuan Shangren, Sima Changbai, Ye Yangrong and others among the Beifeng Six Swords Immortals, all had their eyes lit up. They seemed to have caught a glimpse of the shadow of sword intent when Lu Yuan made his move earlier, but that's impossible, Lu Yuan is only sixteen years old.

  Li Yuanbai was a 116-year-old who had grasped the sword intent, while others, even if they were older than Li Yuanbai, weren't much older. There was also Yuan Yuanshang, the master of Beifeng, the most outstanding ninth-generation descendant of Beifeng, who was also known as a super genius for grasping the sword intent at the age of 33! At this time, Lu Yuan's sword move seemed to have a hint of sword intent. The several Northern Peak Six Sword Sages looked at each other and couldn't believe it, thinking it was impossible!

  So let's take another look then.

  If this guy really grasped the sword's intent, it would be interesting. (The 12,000-word update ticket is making me cry, Baozhilong, you're deliberately making me cry.)
