Traveling the Heavens in Thunderbolt

Chapter 1165 Academy Sword Song
..............................

"It seems that Young Master Han has also obtained the Tai Chi Qi, not bad. It is indeed good to be so vigilant. The destiny of the five chaotic energies is not just to kill Tian Zhili. There is a more important destiny behind it, which must not be lost."

After hearing what Xu Fengnian said, Leng Hanfu asked in doubt: "Young Master Feng said that the five energies of chaos are not just for killing the Heavenly Li, but also have another destiny. What is it?"

Xu Fengnian waved his hand and said, "The time has not come yet, so you can't force it. When the time comes, you will know it naturally."

"That…"

Leng Hanfu wanted to ask more, but Xu Fengnian didn't want to continue. "Well, I gained a lot from this trip. You and I will say goodbye now. We will meet again if we are lucky."

In the blink of an eye, Xu Fengnian disappeared from Leng Hanfu's sight.

"You help me obtain Tai Chi energy without asking for anything in return. What a strange person you are." Leng Hanfu was confused by this action.

"Kou Jie~" To avoid misunderstanding, Geng Gui has been hiding in Leng Hanfu's shadow since he entered Tianfoyuanxiang, and he echoed at this time.

"I'd better go back to the academy first and tell the teacher the news I got from Tianfo's hometown."

Hurrying all the way, the cold wind swept across the heavenly capital, Tianjing.

After entering the city and arriving at the academy, it was already evening and the students had already finished their classes.

Leng Hanfu found that the atmosphere in the academy at this time was different from before.

Many students from the academy gathered together, and while discussing, they would occasionally look towards the mountain behind the academy.

In the back mountain of the academy, a magic circle arranged by Seventh Senior Sister Mu You has already been set up.

After he knew that something had happened in the academy after he left, Leng Hanfu asked a passing student, "Excuse me, student, what happened in the academy?"

"You are..." It was normal that the student did not know Leng Hanfu.

Not long after Leng Hanfu entered the academy, he was accepted as a disciple by the master and became Mr. Thirteen.

On weekdays, I either study with my senior brothers and sisters in the back mountain, or study on my own in the old book building.

Apart from a few close friends, not many people knew him.

Leng Hanfu introduced himself, "Leng Hanfu."

"It turns out that it is Mr. Thirteen in person. I am here to show my respect." After the student saluted, he asked, "Is Mr. Thirteen out?"

Leng Hanfu admitted, "Indeed, I was out for something and just returned to the academy today. What happened in the academy? Why don't I see the teachers?"

"No wonder." The student began to tell Leng Hanfu what happened in the academy during the few days he was away.

"The story began four days ago. On that day, a swordsman named Li Chungang suddenly came to the academy to challenge according to the rules of the martial arts world, threatening to challenge the academy with a sword."

"On the first day, many students and teachers in the academy fought him because they couldn't stand him. But without exception, they were defeated by him. They didn't even take a single blow. After defeating more than a hundred people, he seemed tired of challenging them one by one, so he asked the remaining people to join forces. Even the teachers in the academy couldn't take a single move from him."

Leng Hanfu asked in doubt: "With things getting to this point, won't the professors of the academy take action?"

"They did attack. Professor Fengru attacked first, and the two of them scheduled a sword fight for the next day. However, on the second day, Professor Fengru was only able to fight for fifty moves from Li Chungang before his sword slipped out of his hand."

"Feng Ru actually lost." Leng Hanfu was quite surprised that Feng Ru was defeated.

After all, he had some understanding of the identities and abilities of the professors in the academy.

Even though Feng Ru was good at magic, as the second gatekeeper of the Haozheng Five Paths, the most powerful Confucian sect today, his swordsmanship must be strong. However, he only lasted fifty moves against Li Chungang.

While Leng Hanfu was surprised, he also realized that this swordsman named Li Chungang was no simple person.

"Because the Taoist professors are not good at using swords, and Li Chungang's challenge is about swordsmanship. Therefore, the sword duel on the third day was fought by the new Taoist judge of the Heavenly Dynasty's Grammar Department, Daojian·Jianfeidao. However, this Taoist judge could only last a hundred moves against Li Chungang."

"What's next?" Since Professor Fengru was defeated, Leng Hanfu was not surprised by Jian Feidao's defeat.

The student continued, "On the fourth day, Professor Fa Ru took action. The two fought from morning to noon, and in the end, Li Chungang still won."

Hearing that even Fa Ru was defeated, Leng Hanfu was surprised again and said, "Li Chungang is so strong that even Fa Ru was defeated."

"No one expected this result. In the end, it was the Second Master from the back mountain of the academy who stepped forward and took over today's sword duel."

Leng Hanfu asked, "Well, did Second Senior Brother take action? Did it produce any results?"

"Not yet." The student pointed at the activated formation in the back mountain and said, "Mr. Er and Li Chungang are fighting in the back mountain with swords. The two have been fighting for a day. Because the formation in the back mountain has been activated, all the teachers and professors are in the back mountain. No one knows how far the sword fight has progressed."

In the academy, besides thirteen gentlemen, only the dean and a few professors can enter the back mountain.

The thirteen teachers also hold various positions in the academy. For example, the third senior sister Yu Lian is the calligraphy teacher. They all teach in their own areas and teach the students from time to time.

"In that case, I'll go into the back mountain to take a look first." As the thirteenth master of the academy, Leng Hanfu was still qualified to enter the back mountain.

Seeing Leng Hanfu about to enter the back mountain, the student said, "Mr. Thirteen, if there is any result, please inform us immediately."

"Hmm." After understanding the situation, Leng Hanfu headed towards the back mountain of the academy, thinking all the way.

"When did such a swordsmanship master appear in the Jianghu? Even Fa Ru is no match for him. If he is from Zifu, I grew up in Zifu and never heard Grandpa Lian and others mention it. Or maybe I am overthinking. This person has nothing to do with Zifu."

With something on his mind, Leng Hanfu came to the back mountain of the academy. In front of him was a huge battle formation that separated the inside and the outside. "Yes, it was the formation set up by the fourth senior brother and the seventh senior sister." Seeing the origin of the formation in front of him, Leng Hanfu said loudly: "Senior brothers and sisters, please let me in."

"It's Junior Brother who has returned. Because Mr. Li and Senior Brother Jun Mo (Second Master of the Academy) are fighting with swords, in order to avoid affecting the students of the Academy, we have not left the formation, but can only open a gap." Mu You (Seventh Master of the Academy) who was in the formation reminded him: "Junior Brother, remember, you only have a moment of opportunity."

"Okay, please ask Seventh Senior Sister to open the formation."

Leng Hanfu concentrated his attention, opened a corner of the light curtain, and transformed into light to enter the formation.

What comes into view is the mountain behind the academy, whose landscape has completely changed.

Sword marks were everywhere, all the grass and trees were destroyed, and there were only broken walls and ruins, and no scenery at all.

The air was filled with an indescribable, thick and entangled sword energy.

Leng Hanfu immediately circulated three-tenths of his true energy, using his indestructible body to resist the sword energy, and walked towards the center of the sword fight.

On the way, Leng Hanfu felt the increasingly strong sword pressure and sword intent, and thought to himself: "No wonder Fourth Senior Brother and Seventh Senior Sister want to activate the magic circle. If an ordinary student came here, I'm afraid he would explode and die immediately."

The two entangled sword intentions continued to evolve and destroy, and the surrounding scenery continued to disintegrate.

Leng Hanfu looked from afar and saw a bamboo building standing in the center of the impact of the two sword intentions, without any damage at all.

That was the Master's residence in the academy, and the sword duel must have taken place nearby. Leng Hanfu hurried towards the bamboo building.

Soon, ten senior brothers except the twelfth senior brother Chen Pipi, professors of the three religions including Confucianism, Taoism, Buddhism and Legalism, Ru Wusi, Feng Ru Wuqing, as well as Dao Jian, Jian Feidao and others were all there.

"Thirteen, you're back. I hope the trip went well." Senior Brother Li Manman gestured to Leng Hanfu to join in and watch the battle.

Leng Hanfu joined the team and replied, "It went smoothly."

"That's good. Let's watch the battle."

Leng Hanfu focused his attention on the center of the battlefield.

Then I saw the second senior brother Jun Mo wearing a tall hat, with an expressionless face, tightly holding the hilt of the iron sword in his hand.

The person fighting against him was the initiator of this sword duel, Li Chungang.

The swordsman had white hair and beard, wore a worn sheepskin coat, and held a three-foot-long wooden horse and ox in his hand.

Then, the second senior brother Jun Mo held a square, wide and straight iron sword in his hand and smashed it hard at Li Chungang.

Not chopping, not chopping, not cutting, and not shaving.

But smash it.

The sword brought such powerful pressure that the rocks and earth within ten feet around Li Chungang moved away.

Li Chungang did not flee or evade, but blocked with his sword.

There was a deafening roar, the ground cracked and the clouds flew.

What followed was the simplest and most direct clash of swords, with powerful air currents sweeping around.

Feng Ru, who was watching the battle, commented ruthlessly: "Mr. Er's sword is as proud and domineering as he is. Whether it's smashing or slapping, every sword strike is so magnificent. Under such circumstances, he can still hold on for such a long time without showing any sign of weakness."

Dixian also commented: "And this Mr. Li Chungang, his aura is so long-lasting. Every sword he uses is comparable to that of Mr. Er. Even after a long battle, he is still not inferior. The sword skills of these two are really terrifying."

Unlike the other two, Leng Hanfu knew his second senior brother's swordsmanship very well.

It is precisely because of this that I admire Li Chungang even more for being able to fight with my second senior brother to such an extent.

As the iron sword continued to hit the body of the Trojan Ox sword.

There was only a crisp sound, and then spider-web-like cracks appeared on the sword and extended.

Li Chungang sighed when he saw this, "Ah~"

The true energy in their bodies exploded, the sword energy impacted, and the two were knocked back.

The two separated without drawing their swords again. Second Senior Brother Jun Mo frowned, looking at the damaged wooden horse and ox in Li Chungang's hand, and asked, "Do you want to stop fighting temporarily and repair your sword?"

The sixth senior brother volunteered, "Mr. Li, I know a little bit about forging, and I can repair your sword."

"No need, this is the last battle for old friend." After taking a look at the wooden horse bull in his hand, Li Chungang began to evaluate his second senior brother Jun Mo, saying, "You use the energy of heaven and earth to wield the sword, and in turn use the energy of heaven and earth to boost the power of the sword, so you become stronger with each battle, and you hardly need to rest. This kind of swordsmanship is even more extraordinary. If others want to wear down the iron sword in your hand, they will inevitably be exhausted to death."

Jun Mo replied: "Mr. Li, you are so kind. You saw through my swordsmanship the first moment we fought, but you still chose the most disadvantageous fighting method. I really admire your magnanimity in the swordsmanship."

Leng Hanfu knew that his second senior brother was the most proud and the worst at lying.

Li Chungang was willing to give up his own advantages and fight with his second brother with swords.

So far, no one who has known about it has achieved this level.
