Chapter Nineteen: Sword Like Thunderbolt

  Just then, two figures emerged from the small path on the cliff. The one walking in front was a bright-eyed and white-toothed beautiful girl, who else could it be but Yue Lingxuan?

  Yue Lingxuan suddenly felt a chill and her condition was quite serious, so Yue Buqun and his wife could no longer turn a blind eye to her secretly going up the mountain, and finally ordered that she be placed under house arrest.

  After she recovered from her illness, she felt suffocated and was closely watched by her parents, so she had to endure the hardships in the Huashan villa for several days.

  Now that Father and Mother want to go down the mountain to deal with that evil Tian Boguang, he is like a bird out of a cage, eager to pull Lu Daoyou to the cliff.

  But unexpectedly, as soon as he climbed up the cliff, he saw his parents sitting properly on the cliff. He was shocked at that moment, stuck out his tongue, and walked towards them with a timid attitude.

  She came to Ning Zhong's side, shrinking behind her mother like a child who had done something wrong, calling out in a low voice: "Dad, Mom."

  Yue Buqun glared at her and scolded: "Nonsense."

  Yue Lingshan was so frightened that she shrank back and hastily grabbed her mother's sleeve.

  Ning Zhong then grasped her hand and smiled at Yue Buqun, saying: "Elder Brother Master, Shan'er has just recovered from a serious illness, so don't blame her anymore."

  Yue Buqun was originally worried about his daughter's body, so he didn't let her move around. Now, where would he really be angry? He stopped scolding them and looked at Ling Jing and Lin Hu Dang: "When your master created the 'Unparalleled and Unmatched, Ning Family's One Sword' that day, Chong Er said that this one move alone could take Tian Boguang's life. Today, I'll test you to see how much you understand about this sword."

  Ling Jing was taken aback, thinking to himself: "Master's wife didn't teach me this move after all." But then he thought again and suddenly understood: "That day when Master's wife and I practiced this sword together, although she didn't formally teach it to me, relying on my mastery of our school's skills, I should have grasped the key points of the sword move. Yue Buqun must have expected that in these few months, I would study and practice, and should have learned it by now."

  He knew that the "Unparalleled and Unmatched, Ning's One Sword" had a very high requirement for the internal strength of the practitioner. At present, only he and Linghu Chong could cultivate this move on the entire Mount Hua, no wonder Yue Buqun would suddenly say so.

  Linghu Chong's forehead suddenly broke out in a cold sweat, his heart repeating over and over: "Unmatched, unrivaled, Ning's one sword! Unmatched, unrivaled, Ning's one sword."

  The martial arts on that stone wall he had also carefully looked at, the Huashan school's martial arts had all been broken by someone, and this move that made his master proud of the Ning family's one sword was even more miserably defeated, to the point where it really lowered his confidence in Huashan swordsmanship to an extreme.

  At this time, his mind was extremely bewildered, and he even forgot to answer Lian Yuke's questions.

  Yue Lingxuan and Lu Dajun heard that Yue Buqun was going to test the martial arts of Linghu Chong and Lao Denuo, their faces suddenly showed a look of excitement, knowing that these two were outstanding figures in the Hua Shan Sect. This time, the test would naturally be extraordinary.

  Ning Zhong then smiled and said: "Chong'er, Jing'er, who will come first to try swords with Shifu?"

  Ling Jing had long noticed Linghu Chong's abnormal behavior and knew that he still hadn't shaken off the shadow of the secret cave. If he let him go first, he was afraid that soon he would be seen through by Yue Buqun and his wife. At that time, if Linghu Chong couldn't hold back and revealed the secrets of the cave, wouldn't all his efforts have been in vain?

  The martial arts in that cave he has only practiced half of it so far, how can he let Yue Buqun know now, at this moment he held his sword and walked forward, respectfully saying: "Then the disciple will come first."

  Ning Zhong smiled slightly and said: "Alright, Jing Er, you must be careful."

  A "le" word was still on her lips, but she saw that she had suddenly drawn her sword and stabbed it into Ling Jing's chest with a "hiss".

  Ling Jing couldn't help but smile wryly, thinking to himself, why does his master's wife always rush into sword fights like this every time.

  He shouted in his heart, I am your disciple! Can't you at least let me prepare a bit before drawing the sword?

  However, his reaction was also extremely fast. Although Ning Zhong's sword was fierce and dangerous, in just a split second, he had already thought of many ways to break it.

  At this moment, the crowd on the cliff only saw a flash of silver light in Ling Jing's hand, and it was like lightning, flashing by in an instant, leaving no trace.

  Yue Lingshan and Lu Da had mediocre martial arts skills, so at this time they thought it was just their own eyes playing tricks on them, but in their hearts they were also puzzled - how could a bolt of lightning suddenly appear out of thin air on this precipice?

  But Yue Buqun, however, had seen the change clearly. Just now he saw that this young apprentice was facing his wife's fierce sword and yet remained calm and composed, which made him feel relieved in his heart. He thought to himself, "This child is indeed extraordinary," but it was precisely this "remaining unmoved even if Mount Tai were to crumble before him" attitude that would make many people ashamed.

  But when he saw Ling Jing's right hand touch the hilt of his sword like a shadow, he was suddenly shocked. With his skills, he could only see a blurry shadow of a hand.

  He hastily activated the "Purple Mist Skill", and a purple light flashed in his eyes. When he looked again, he saw that the young monk drew his sword quickly and silently, like lightning, with all movements smooth and uninterrupted, without even half a pause in between.

  What's even more frightening is that he didn't show any signs of drawing his sword beforehand, but in the blink of an eye, the long sword in his hand flashed out of its scabbard and stabbed out, truly making it impossible for people to defend against, and sending chills down their spines.

  He was also impressed by this move in his heart, but soon seemed to think of something, and his eyebrows slightly frowned, continuing to look at the two people in the field.

  Ling Jing drew his sword and swept aside Ning Zhongze's longsword. Afterwards, he did not rush to attack, but simply stood there with his sword in hand.

  Ning Zhong was slightly taken aback, but he hadn't expected that the young monk would not only fail to dodge his unexpected sword strike, but instead would charge forward and counterattack with his own sword.

  But in the blink of an eye, he had already completed the actions of drawing his sword and putting it back, so quickly that even she herself hadn't seen clearly how this disciple had forced himself to retreat.

  Yue Lingshan had just heard a "ding" sound from the side, and then saw her mother suddenly retreat, feeling very puzzled in her heart. She leaned over to Lu Hou'er and asked in a low voice: "Sixth brother, why did my mother suddenly withdraw her sword?"

  She couldn't see Ling Jing's sword technique clearly and thought it was her mother who spared her, so she withdrew her sword.

  Lu Dajia was also somewhat unclear about the situation, his strength was only comparable to that of Yue Lingshan, and he couldn't see clearly, so he said: "Perhaps it's because the master's wife spared her life, that's why she withdrew her sword."

  Yue Lingxuan nodded, and also saw that Lian Yihu was puzzled, so she felt that something was wrong and looked around the scene again.

  Ning Zhong was in the arena, but his heart was filled with great surprise and suspicion. He knew that Huashan Sect didn't have such a mysterious and unpredictable sword technique. He asked in surprise: "Jing Er, what kind of move is this?"

  PS: Here "but see" means "only see".
