Chapter 51: Ice Qi (Please read and collect)

Zuo Lengchan shouted the word "kill" decisively, but also full of regret and helplessness.

He really wanted to be an upright person and lead the Songshan Sect to unify the Five Mountains and become the third largest righteous sect after Shaolin and Wudang.

This is not to say that Zuo Lengchan is obsessed with the identity of the righteous sect, but that the Songshan Sect is too close to the Shaolin Temple, the largest righteous sect!

This geographical location prevented the Songshan Sect from being attacked by the Demon Cult, allowing it to grow and develop with peace of mind, but it would also inevitably be suppressed by the Shaolin Temple.

It would be fine if both parties were from the same righteous sect, but once one became good and the other evil, Shaolin Temple would never tolerate him!
No matter how confident Zuo Lengchan was, he didn't think that the current Songshan School could fight against Shaolin Temple.

He was ready to argue for a few more words, then pretend to be unable to bear the humiliation and directly let the Songshan School break away from the Five Mountains Sword School.

As long as the disciples of Songshan Sect still believe in him and stand by his side, Yue Buqun and his men will be cautious and dare not act rashly!
In the end, the most likely scenario for both sides is that they will take a step back, maintain peace on the surface, and jointly deal with the cult.

But now, those gangsters he recruited were exposed in front of everyone by Li Anran's sword. There was no way for them to deny it anymore. They were forced to take action and kill them to silence them.

Li Anran saw that Yue Buqun was ready to make a move, and was afraid that his master would suffer a loss against Zuo Lengchan, so he shouted, "Master, I will deal with Zuo Lengchan!" He spun in mid-air and swung his sword towards Zuo Lengchan.

"court death!"

Zuo Lengchan had been eyeing Li Anran for a long time, not only because Li Anran had ruined his plans, but more importantly, he couldn't see through Li Anran, and he felt uneasy unless he tried it himself.

Zheng!
Zuo Lengchan knew very well that Li Anran was no simple man, so he did not dare to be careless. He drew out his sword and slashed from left to right, using the authentic sword technique of the Songshan School, "Jade Dragon from the Sky".

The long sword crossed in mid-air, the sword body seemed both curved and straight, just like a dancing snake, or a dragon soaring into the sky, flexible and changeable, with a majestic aura.

The vast true energy was poured into the sword body, the sword wind was whistling, the cold light was flashing, and there was a momentum of splitting mountains and cracking rocks, which was terrifying.

Everyone has a desire to be strong, and this is especially true for those who practice martial arts!
All the disciples of Songshan had learned this sword technique, but none of them had ever seen anyone who could wield it with such vigor and power. For a moment, they even forgot about the gangsters and exclaimed in amazement.

Yue Buqun, Mo Da, Ding Xian, Tianmen Taoist and others also showed surprise on their faces.

Taoist Tianmen cried out, "Zuo Lengchan's skills are so much stronger than before!"

Martial arts is not something that can be continuously improved through hard practice, but there is an upper limit and bottleneck.

When you are young, your martial arts skills improve by leaps and bounds. It is possible that in just three to five years you can be as good as others who have been doing for decades.

But after approaching the upper limit and reaching a bottleneck, the speed of strength improvement will slow down or even stagnate, and it may last for years or even decades.

This is the case with Mo Da and Tianmen Taoist.

More than ten years ago, when they were competing with Zuo Lengchan for the position of leader of the Five Mountains at the Five Mountains Conference, they were almost at their strongest.

Over the past decade, although their internal strength has improved, it was only a quantitative increase, barely offsetting the decline in strength caused by physical aging.

They originally thought that Zuo Lengchan was in a similar situation, but now it seems that this is not the case at all!

Back then, they could only feel the chill and the difficulty in circulating their internal energy when their true Qi collided with Zuo Lengchan’s.

But now, the sun was shining brightly in the sky and Zuo Lengchan was still several feet away from them.

But when Zuo Lengchan swung his sword, they actually felt a chill coming and the temperature around them dropped a lot.

Obviously, Zuo Lengchan's internal strength has undergone a qualitative breakthrough and is much stronger than before.

There was a clear distance between them.

If they fought again, they were afraid that they would not be able to withstand even twenty or thirty moves from Zuo Lengchan.

"Fortunately I didn't rush forward."

Yue Buqun felt a sense of luck.

He had indeed just thought of defeating Zuo Lengchan in public so that he could become the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance with legitimacy.

But now, this idea has been completely dispelled.

Sudden.

Yue Buqun thought of what he had said to Li Anran earlier, that his strength was almost the same as Zuo Lengchan, and his old face couldn't help but turn red.

He was so confident at that time because he had considered the bottleneck of martial arts and the factors of old age and physical weakness. The greatest function of Zixia Magic Skill is not to improve internal strength, but to heal injuries, nourish the body, prolong life, and maintain beauty.

Thanks to this, Yue Buqun is over sixty years old but looks only about forty.

Although other internal skills also have the effect of delaying aging, they are far from comparable to Zixia Divine Art.

Yue Buqun originally thought that with this advance and pause, or even advance and retreat, Zuo Lengchan would definitely not be his opponent.

He was being modest when he said that the two were equally strong, but he never expected that Zuo Lengchan would break through the bottleneck and improve his strength even more than he did.

Master Ding Xian said worriedly, "Nephew Li, I'm afraid you've met your match this time!"

Mo Da and Tianmen Taoist nodded solemnly.

Lu Bai: “???”

Lu Lianrong: “???”

Taoist Tianfeng: “???”

Yue Buqun: "???"

The four of them were stunned for a moment before they suddenly realized that Master Ding Xian and the others only knew that Li Anran killed Le Hou, Zhong Zhen and others with a single slap, but had never seen the scene of Li Anran fighting Feng Qingyang.

Yue Buqun smiled and said, "Don't worry, Master! Ran'er's martial arts are far superior to mine. He is more than capable of dealing with Zuo Lengchan."

Lu Bai, Lu Lianrong and Tianmen Taoist nodded vigorously.

Mo Da and others were stunned.

It’s fine that Yue Buqun has confidence in his apprentice, but isn’t the phrase “more than enough” a bit too arrogant?
Before he could finish his thought, the two swords had already collided.

when!
There was a loud bang, which made people's eardrums itch.

Li Anran only felt a stream of extremely cold energy coming from the sword. He couldn't help but shiver and was a little surprised.

The Songshan School's supreme skill, "Yin Yang Creation Technique", can cultivate two kinds of true qi with completely opposite properties, one yin and one yang, within the body.

The yin and yang palm technique of Le Hou, the master of the Great Yin and Yang Hand, benefited from this.

As the head of the Songshan School, Zuo Lengchan practiced the "Yin Yang Creation Technique", so it was not surprising that he had Yin-attributed Qi in his body, but his Qi was obviously different from Le Hou's!

Le Hou's Yin-attributed true qi can only be regarded as feminine, but Zuo Lengchan's true qi can be called extremely yin and extremely cold!

Either Le Hou did not practice the Creation Technique to perfection, or Zuo Lengchan broke through the limits of the Creation Technique and improved it.

"interesting!"

Li Anran's eyes lit up.

Everyone he met over the years, including his master and even Feng Qingyang, all stuck to the experience of their predecessors and rarely made breakthroughs or innovations of their own.

I didn’t expect to see it on Zuo Lengchan today!

Li Anran found it interesting, but Zuo Lengchan didn’t think so!

The moment the swords collided, he felt a surge of true energy penetrating the swords like a tsunami.

The icy energy that he had always been proud of could only resist for a moment before it was broken down like a mantis trying to stop a chariot.

The vast true energy attacked him again along the sword.

not good!

Zuo Lengchan's face suddenly changed, and he hurriedly dropped his sword and retreated, but he was still a step too slow. The true energy shocked his chest and abdomen, causing a surge of blood and energy in his chest and abdomen. He retreated several steps before he could stabilize his body.

There was silence all around.
