Chapter 32: The Senior Brother Looks Down on You (Please Read~Please Collect~)

The atmosphere in Zhengqitang froze instantly.

Including Linghu Chong himself stayed there.

He never expected that Cheng Buyou would disregard his dignity and attack him from behind after losing, nor did he expect that his instinctive sword would take Cheng Buyou's life.

"Junior brother!"

Feng Buping and Cong Buqi rushed to Cheng Buyou and cried out in pain.

However, Cheng Buyou's heart had been pierced, and he only moved his lips with difficulty. He was unable to utter a single word before he died.

"You little bastard! I'll kill you!"

Cong Buqi's eyes were red, and he rushed towards Linghu Chong with his sword.

Linghu Chong came to his senses, but did not dodge or block like an ordinary person. Instead, he moved forward and stabbed out diagonally with the long sword in his hand.

His sword was not fast and not powerful, but it just happened to be stuck in the gap between Cong Buqi's sword and its impact, pointing directly at Cong Buqi's abdomen.

Cong Buqi had no choice but to change his moves. He twisted his body and swung his sword towards the long sword in Linghu Chong's hand.

Linghu Chong had anticipated this, so he raised his right arm slightly, lifted the long sword two feet higher, and pointed the tip of the sword at Cong Buqi's chest.

Cong Buqi was in mid-air with nowhere to turn, screaming loudly, and rushed straight towards the tip of Linghu Chong's sword.

puff!

The long sword pierced directly through Cong Buqi's chest, and blood spurted out.

Cong Buqi's eyes bulged out, and he stretched out his hands unwillingly to struggle a few times, and then fell silent.

"Junior Brother Cong!"

Feng Buping screamed and rushed to Cong Buqi's body. His expression was dazed and he even forgot to cry.

In the battle twenty-five years ago, all the members of the Sword Sect were killed or wounded, and those who survived were either seriously injured or disabled. The three of them can be said to be the last hope of the Sword Sect!

As a result, less than half an hour after arriving at Huashan, his two fellow apprentices died one after another, leaving him alone!

Feng Buping was trembling all over, feeling extremely frightened and regretful.

If he had not been persuaded by Lu Bai and was determined to take back the position of the leader of Huashan Sect, his two fellow apprentices would not have died here!

But at this moment, no one cared what he was thinking or whether he regretted it or not.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Linghu Chong.

If the previous Cheng Buyou could be said to be a coincidence, then Cong Buqi's death proved that Linghu Chong did not rely on luck, but on strength, and that sword technique was so weird that it looked like the opponent had committed suicide by bumping into the sword!
"What is going on? Does this kid know some kind of witchcraft?" The yellow-eyed old man looked panicked.

No one answered.

Everyone was thinking about what they would do if Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi were replaced by themselves. Could they block this strange sword technique?
"Where did Chong'er learn the sword technique?"

There was a hint of doubt in Yue Buqun's eyes.

In half a year, Linghu Chong's internal strength increased greatly and he has become a gifted person. It is impossible for him to comprehend such a peerless sword technique!

In addition, this sword technique is strange and very different from Li Anran's style, so it is impossible that it was passed down to him by Li Anran!
suddenly.

A thought flashed through Yue Buqun's mind.

"Could it be the Exorcist Sword Technique?!"

Yue Buqun remembered that when Yu Canghai's master Chang Qingzi talked about the Exorcism Sword Technique with his master, he once said that the Exorcism Sword Technique looked ordinary at first glance, but in fact the moves were strange and unpredictable, making it difficult to guard against.

It is somewhat similar to the sword technique that Linghu Chong just used.

Moreover, before their death, Lin Zhennan and his wife left a will, asking Linghu Chong to tell Lin Pingzhi.

The content of this last words is most likely related to the Exorcism Sword Technique!

Yue Buqun had not taken the Manual of the Sword of Exorcism too seriously before.

If the Sword Manual of Exorcism was really powerful, Lin Zhennan and his wife would not have died at the hands of Yu Canghai.

But now, after seeing Linghu Chong's strange swordsmanship, he was suddenly tempted.

“Ran’er’s inner strength is already unrivaled in the world. If he has this Sword of Exorcism, he will definitely be invincible!” Yue Buqun’s mind was full of thoughts, and he apologized on behalf of Linghu Chong with a guilty look on his face: “Brother Feng, your disciple didn’t use enough strength, and he…”

Feng Buping suddenly raised his head, not even looking at Yue Buqun, his eyes fixed on Linghu Chong, as if he wanted to engrave him in his heart: "Are you Li Anran?"

Linghu Chong shook his head and said, "Senior, you have recognized the wrong person. There is a huge gap between me and the eldest brother. I am Linghu Chong."

Feng Buping was stunned and turned his head abruptly to look at Lu Bai.

Lu Bai nodded slightly, indicating that the person in front of him was indeed Linghu Chong.

Feng Buping was furious, and he wanted to grab Lu Bai by the collar and ask, "Didn't you say that the only talented people in Huashan were Yue Buqun and Ning Zhongze, and an unknown disciple, Li Anran? Why is Linghu Chong so powerful?"

Feng Buping will agree to let Lu Bai come to Huashan to compete for the position of sect leader.

Firstly, Lu Bai promised that the Songshan Sect would fully support their Sword Sect in seizing the position of the head of Huashan, and would also bring in people from the Taishan Sect and the Hengshan Sect to cheer for them.

Secondly, according to Lu Bai, the Huashan Sect is weak.

Except for Yue Buqun, Ning Zhongze and a senior disciple Li Anran whose background is unknown.

As for the rest, even Linghu Chong, who became famous for Liu Zhengfeng's retirement from the underworld, is not worth mentioning. Any one of the three brothers can kill him easily.

But now, it was Linghu Chong who killed his two fellow apprentices easily!

Lu Bai naturally saw what Feng Buping was thinking. Although he remained calm on the surface, his heart was already in turmoil.

Among the few people, he was the only one who knew Linghu Chong and had fought with Linghu Chong!
Half a year ago, when at Liu Zhengfeng's residence, Linghu Chong followed Master Dingyi to try to rescue Liu Zhengfeng's wife and daughter.

With just a casual palm strike, he broke the sword in Linghu Chong's hand and made him spit out blood.

But now, just half a year had passed, and Linghu Chong not only had much more internal strength than before, he had also learned this extremely strange and powerful sword technique, and his strength had increased by several times!

Although he is still confident that he can kill Linghu Chong now, it is hard to say about the future!
"Linghu Chong will sooner or later become a threat to our Songshan Sect. We must get rid of him!" Lu Bai was filled with murderous intent.

Feng Buping knew that he couldn't afford to offend Lu Bai and the Songshan Sect, so he could only grit his teeth and swallow his anger, calling out, "Senior Brother Lu."

Although the words were not said explicitly, everyone knew the implied intention of retreat.

Lu Bai said, "Let's stop here for today! Let's go back to Songshan first. Senior Brother Zuo will take care of Huashan Sect's affairs for you."

Feng Buping, Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi are quite strong, but just strong enough.

In fact, Lu Bai didn't care about them at all. He kept them just to have a legitimate reason to interfere in the Huashan Sect.

Now that Cheng Buyou and Cong Bushi are dead, the only remaining Feng Buping must naturally be protected.

When Feng Buping heard Lu Bai's words, he secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Ever since he agreed to the conditions of the Songshan Sect, he could no longer make his own decisions.

Feng Buping held the bodies of his two fellow apprentices and left Zhengqi Hall with Lu Bai and the others, heading down the mountain.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Lu Bai told Feng Buping to bury his two fellow apprentices first, while he took the other two and made a detour, returning to the Jade Maiden Peak.

The yellow-eyed old man Lu Lianrong couldn't help but ask, "Brother Lu, what are we going to do?"

Lu Bai said: "Linghu Chong has been on the Cliff of Regret for half a year, and his strength has improved so much! There must be some secrets on the Cliff that we don't know about. Let's go up and find out tonight!"

When Lu Lianrong heard this, his eyes lit up, and he nodded repeatedly, flattering him: "Brother Lu is really insightful, I admire you!"

On the other side, Yue Buqun watched Lu Bai and the others walk away, then turned to look at Linghu Chong with a stern expression: "Chong'er."

thump!
Before Yue Buqun could finish his words, Linghu Chong had already knelt on the ground with great skill. He first shouted "Disciple knows I was wrong", and then explained: "Disciple heard that Master and Master's wife were in trouble. I was anxious for a moment and left the Cliff of Repentance. I am willing to accept Master's punishment."

Yue Buqun didn't care about this at all, and asked coldly: "Where did you learn this sword technique?"

Linghu Chong hesitated for a moment and said truthfully, "I met a white-haired old man on the Cliff of Repentance. He taught me the Dugu Nine Swords."

Yue Buqun didn't believe it: "He just taught you this peerless skill for no reason?"

Linghu Chong looked aggrieved: "He originally wanted to teach it to Senior Brother, but Senior Brother didn't like it, so he could only teach it to me."

Yue Buqun: "???"

Ning Zhongze: "???"

Huashan disciples: “???”
