Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 11 Almost to the Top!

Lin Zhennan had been defending the ring for half an hour. During this period, hundreds of second- and third-rate masters came on stage to challenge him, but the strongest one only lasted six moves. Most of them were defeated within three moves, and nearly half were killed in one move, which shocked the crowd.

Just as the group of people were discussing who would dare to go up against Lin Zhennan given his great martial arts skills, a precious sword with its sheath fell from the sky!

With a cracking sound, the bluestone arena collapsed like tofu at the touch of a button. The three-foot-long sword penetrated more than a foot into the stone surface. The remaining energy scattered in all directions, leaving the ground within a one-meter radius full of holes!

A green figure floated down from the stands, and touched the heads of several onlookers in succession, then turned over and leaped up, falling towards the sword. It took only five steps to cross a distance of nearly 100 meters, what an amazing Qinggong!

Everyone was attracted by this man's handsome martial arts skills. His green figure passed through the air, and his wide robe rustled behind him, like a breeze leaving a trace, or like fallen leaves casting shadows. Every move was comfortable and natural, and pleasing to the eye!

Tick ​​~

The figure fell with a slight sound, almost inaudible. The hilt of the sword that supported it did not move at all, but the raging sword energy came to an abrupt stop. It can be seen that his lightness skills are superb and his control is terrifying!
On the rostrum, Zen Master Du Chi opened his tightly closed eyes. His old eyes, which should have been dim, now shone with brilliance, and a resonant voice came out of his mouth: "Donor Ji, I haven't seen you for more than 40 years. Your Qinggong has become even more amazing!"

The man was wearing a green robe, had white hair and a youthful face, a goatee that hung down to his chest, and his hair and beard were all white. He was obviously a senior expert at first glance. When Liu Mang saw him just now, he thought it was Feng Qingyang!
At this time, another well-informed onlooker exclaimed in shock: "Ji Changkong! He is Ji Changkong! Forty years ago, he fought with Huashan Sword Saint Feng Qingyang for 40 moves and remained undefeated!"

After these words were spoken, the crowd remained indifferent. Most of those present were young people in their thirties or forties, and few of them had heard of Feng Qingyang's reputation.

Seeing that no one responded, the speaker immediately realized what was going on and added, "I competed with Taoist Master Chongxu of Wudang for the position of Wudang Sect Leader!"

Hiss! The heroes took a deep breath and immediately understood how terrifying this man was!
Liu Mang also took a breath of cold air, not because he thought this person was so terrifying, but because the Wudang Sect actually had such a master who was not mentioned in the original book!
Damn it, how could I be so unlucky!
Ji Changkong was probably a top-notch master back then. After decades, he wouldn't have broken through to the top directly, right?
Ji Changkong stood proudly with his hands behind his back, listening to the sounds of admiration coming from all directions. Even someone as calm as him could see a slight smile on his face.

"Are you Lin Zhennan? I've heard that your Luoying Divine Sword is unrivaled in the world, but after seeing it today, it's just so-so!" Ji Changkong's face was full of pride, and he still looked down on others even at his age.

Liu Mang was furious. "I haven't used a single sword move today, and you dare to say that it's nothing? If you don't want your eyes, you can donate them to people in need!"
"Senior, you are worthy of being a Wudang master. I haven't even demonstrated my sword skills today, but you can already tell that my sword skills are average. I'm sure Taoist Chongxu is far inferior to you with such eyesight. I admire you!" Liu Mang was not used to bad habits and immediately made a sarcastic remark.

"Hahahaha!" The heroes laughed.

Ji Changkong's face suddenly turned ugly, and he scolded: "How dare a mere junior speak rudely? Didn't your parents teach you to respect your elders? Oh, I forgot, your parents are just hooligans adopted by Lin Yuantu, how could they know what etiquette is."

This is fucking a personal attack!

Liu Mangbi couldn't stand it anymore and started to yell, "Bullshit! Old bastard Ji, your grandfather is an intellectual with a higher education. The whole of Fujian says I'm polite. How dare you, an illiterate who didn't even graduate from elementary school, talk to me about etiquette? You must have eaten too much shit!"

The heroes were stunned. What you said doesn't sound very polite.

Ji Changkong's eyes were red with anger. He was actually scolded by a junior, and in front of so many people. He exploded in anger. All thoughts of talking nonsense disappeared completely. He kicked his foot and suddenly drew his sword to stab Liu Mang!

Liu Mang laughed loudly, drew his knife and chopped off the flying sword, still talking non-stop: "What a bastard, you sneak attack before I even yelled start, you disgrace your mother!"

Ji Changkong was furious, and he caught the long sword and swept it across, with the tip of the sword pointing directly at Liu Mang's head. With such a powerful and heavy sword, the sword energy was condensed but not released, and it tore the air into pieces during the movement!

Liu Mang raised his head, and swung the goose-feather knife in his hand from bottom to top, aiming directly at Ji Changkong's lower body!
Ji Changkong's eyelids twitched. He didn't dare to exchange his injury for his life with Liu Mang. He turned his sword and the tip of the sword directly stabbed on Liu Mang's blade.

Ding! A crisp sound resounded throughout the venue, and Liu Mang's blade paused, unexpectedly being stopped directly by Ji Changkong!

Liu Mang was a little surprised. Not only did his sword attack add two thousand pounds of physical strength, but it also contained several layers of hidden power, and the explosive power was still over four thousand pounds. Yet, he was actually blocked by Ji Changkong with just one sword!

Ji Changkong was also surprised. He had practiced Tai Chi swordsmanship for decades, and the essence of using softness to overcome hardness had been ingrained in him. Logically speaking, no matter how strong the force was, it would be broken down and reversed under Tai Chi. However, Liu Mang's sword strike just now almost broke his limit of differentiation, so that he only dissolved the force but was unable to reverse it.

Liu Mang's mind raced, and he kicked Ji Changkong away. Then, without stopping, he caught up with the retreating Ji Changkong and swept out with the long sword in his hand, trying to cut Ji Changkong in half.

Ji Changkong dodged the sweeping knife by flying, turned in the air and landed behind Liu Mang. Without turning around, he stabbed Liu Mang's vest with his sword through his waist!
The sword's edge was silent and as fast as lightning, but it did not cause any disturbance in the air, making it impossible for Liu Mang to detect the incoming sword by listening to the sound.

But Liu Mang is not a fool. Of course he will take the backstab when he goes around. He can guess what Ji Changkong is going to do with his butt.

It would be best to dodge in advance so that the backstab would miss, but Liu Mang did not intend to do so. He had invincible defense, so he naturally had to make use of it and take the sword head-on, exchanging injury for life!

Having made up his mind, Liu Mang immediately turned around and slashed with a knife. In this knife, he used the method of Qiu Shui Chang Tian, ​​and burst out with all his physical body and internal strength, pushing the knife to a point that was invisible to the naked eye!

Ji Changkong was stabbing from behind with all his strength when he suddenly felt a chill, as if a dragon was attacking him from behind. The extreme sense of crisis made his hair stand on end. He immediately gave up the backstab that had already pierced his clothes, and urgently activated the Tiyunzong, instantly flying more than three meters high. Then he took a few steps in the air and landed more than ten meters away from Liu Mang!
Of course the sword that was sure to hit him missed, Liu Mang felt a little regretful. Ji Changkong was a little steady. In the situation just now, if he had not practiced horizontal kung fu, he would have died from the stab of the sword. And his subsequent sword was a step too late after all. Even if his Qi was not lost after being stabbed by the sword, the threat to Ji Changkong was limited. There was a high probability that he would be injured but not killed. He didn't dare to exchange with him, and his trash talk was in vain!

Ji Changkong's face was gloomy and uncertain. He didn't understand why Lin Zhennan was so brave. He just scolded him for being uneducated, but he didn't need to fight him to death!

Could it be that this kid has something to rely on? Ji Changkong's mind was as fast as lightning, and he thrust out with his sword again.

A gleam of light flashed in Liu Mang's eyes, and Qiu Shui Chang Tian was urged again. The knife light suddenly surged, and the bright blade completely turned into a pool of autumn water. The distance of more than ten meters seemed to be non-existent. The moment the knife came out, the blade was already close to Ji Changkong's neck!

Ji Changkong was shocked. What a fast knife! But it's still far from enough to kill me!
He closed his eyes, and his internal force flowed rapidly. The powerful internal force changed its path and rushed madly into the Yongquan point at the bottom of his feet! At the same time, the long sword in his hand was reversed and sheathed. The internal force went up from the Yongquan point to the Quze and Neiguan points on his arm, and then injected into the Shaofu point, and then injected into the long sword from the Shaofu point, and continued to accumulate.

Just when the blade touched Ji Changkong, the accumulated internal force finally reached the requirement. A huge amount of internal force instantly reversed from the long sword into the body and poured into the Yongquan. Then the internal force under the feet instantly exploded, and the body became a shadow in the air. With a backflip, he dodged the fatal blow! Then the recoil force was engulfed by the Tai Chi force and poured into the long sword, brewing today's attack!
The fatal blow missed, and Liu Mang fell into a brief stiffness. At this time, Ji Changkong had already leaned forward, ready to strike!
The long sword was unsheathed, and first of all, boundless killing intent surged in. Liu Mang suddenly had a fantasy in front of his eyes, and he could no longer dodge! Then the long sword came through the air with boundless sword energy, and the sword energy flowed at the tip of the sword, almost condensed into substance, as if the sword body had grown a section out of thin air! It was actually the prototype of the sword light!

The sword finally approached him. Liu Mang was awakened by the impact of the sword energy, but he could no longer avoid this shocking sword!
boom!
It was originally a three-foot-long blade, but it made a sound like a cannonball! The boundless sword energy suddenly burst out, tearing apart everything within a two-meter radius. The arena made of bluestone was completely unable to withstand it and turned into powder in an instant!

The broken stone powder turned into smoke and dust, which spread to a radius of ten meters under the influence of sword energy, covering the two people in the field.

Ji Changkong pulled back to avoid the burst of sword energy, and casually lifted the dust around him with a palm. The ultimate killing move undoubtedly hit Lin Zhennan, but the feeling of hitting made him uneasy.

The ultimate sword energy combined with the handed-down sword should be able to cut through the human body without any hindrance, but this sword stabbed into Lin Zhennan's body, but it was like a blunt knife cutting cowhide and could not penetrate an inch!

This is a unique move that Ji Changkong has recently developed. He uses the huge amount of internal force stored in his sword to inject it into the Yongquan point on the bottom of his foot all at once to explode, generating a force beyond imagination. This force can be used to strengthen his body skills as well as to attack with his feet.

What's even more amazing is that the force of the explosion can be transferred back to the sword without any damage to form sword energy. One explosion produces two effects, which is extraordinary! In addition, when accumulating internal force, the sword will condense an equal amount of sword energy by itself, and with the sword energy coming back, it is a double effect. The sword energy changes from quantity to quality to produce sword light, and the power is increased by more than ten times!
Even though his cultivation has improved by leaps and bounds compared to what it was back then, using this move still requires him to consume more than half of his internal energy. It is undoubtedly his strongest move!
Ji Changkong had practiced Tai Chi swordsmanship for many years and discovered this move inadvertently when he made a mistake in the circulation of Qi. Most people circulate Qi through the twelve meridians, but this move crosses the meridians. If he hadn't been lucky, he wouldn't have been able to research it on his own!

But even such a miraculous move was not ideal when used on Lin Zhennan! Ji Changkong's heart gradually sank.

The clouds and fog dissipated, and the dust gradually dispersed, revealing the situation of the two people on the field.

Ji Changkong was the closest, and he could see Liu Mang's condition clearly. Although he had some guesses in his mind, he was still shocked when he actually saw Liu Mang's injuries.

Liu Mang was in tatters, his clothes were completely turned into rags, there was a deep wound on his right shoulder where he was stabbed, blood dripped down his arm to the ground, and then he was gone! Apart from the sword wound on his shoulder, there were no other injuries on his body. Through the rags that could barely cover his shame, you could see that there was not even a scratch on his bronze skin!

Liu Mang let out a long sigh, looked at the wound on his shoulder, and jumped out of the circular pit that was nearly one meter deep.

Before being stabbed, Liu Mang noticed the sword's sharp edge and felt that his defense could not withstand this extremely sharp attack, so he tried his best to slightly deflect his body, causing the sword that was heading for his chest to pierce his shoulder. Fortunately, he did not use his chest muscles to resist, otherwise he would have been seriously injured!

Although his injury was not light and one of his hands was disabled, it was undoubtedly much lighter than the sword energy that penetrated his chest and ravaged his internal organs.

There is no doubt that Ji Changkong's sword has truly surpassed the first-rate and reached the pinnacle, and in terms of power alone it is even close to being unrivaled!
The Thirteen Guardians' horizontal defense is most effective against cutting with sharp weapons, followed by attack, and then invasion by internal force. Even Zhou Meng can use the internal force contained in his palm technique to invade his internal organs and hurt him.

But Ji Changkong's sword completely transformed his internal force into sword energy, and all the power was reflected in the sharpness, which happened to be the most professional field of the Thirteen Taibao's horizontal training. Even so, he was not blocked, which shows how amazing its power is! Coupled with his nearly top-notch internal strength and unparalleled lightness and body skills, it is believed that he is the top Liu Mang!

If he waits a little longer until his internal strength reaches its peak, Chongxu will be defeated by this sword alone!
The ultimate power and speed can only be countered by an equally ultimate defense. Although Chongxu has been at the top for many years, he does not have any outstanding parts in terms of speed, strength, or defense. Facing someone like Ji Changkong who goes to extremes, unless he does not use this trick, he will really be defeated!
Liu Mang sighed in his heart, although this old guy is crazy, he does have some skills.

However, in today's battle, the winner must be Liu Mang!
Looking at Ji Changkong who was panting and in a bad state, Liu Mang shook his head. It was still too extreme. A move that could achieve success in one fell swoop would consume too much energy. If this move could not defeat the enemy, he would be at a huge disadvantage!

If Ji Changkong had played steadily and used his body movements to wear him down, the battle would have lasted for hundreds of rounds without any problem. But now, he couldn't even last ten moves.

Liu Mang lost interest and walked away again under the long autumn sky.

Ji Changkong, whose condition had dropped drastically, was already powerless to resist. He barely raised his sword to block the blow, but was knocked back. Tai Chi swordsmanship also depends on the difference in force. Ji Changkong, who had consumed most of his internal force, was in a state of decline. Not only did his speed and strength decrease, but even his reaction was not as fast as before.

Liu Mang didn't wait for him to stand firm before slashing out with two consecutive swords.

Ji Changkong roared, and once again burst out his limited internal energy to dodge. In terms of lightness skills, he was far superior to Liu Mang. If he wanted to run, Liu Mang would definitely not be able to catch up.

But the old man had lost his mind. He didn't give up quickly when he had the best chance. Instead, he found a chance to chop Liu Mang's neck with a sword. It was a very heavy sword, which even caused Liu Mang to feel pain, but it didn't break his defense.

Although his face turned red, facing the neck that seemed to be made of fine iron, he was helpless and all his internal energy was exhausted.

Liu Mang seized the opportunity and kicked Ji Changkong in the stomach. With a 2,000-jin kick, Ji Changkong immediately spurted blood and flew out, but fortunately he was still able to move, and he turned over and stood up, instead of rolling on the ground in front of thousands of people.

The battle has come to this point, and the competition should be over. Ji Changkong hated Liu Mang for insulting him, but he didn't want to endure being beaten to death. It would be a small matter to lose face, but a big matter to lose his life!
"I lost!" Ji Changkong said with gritted teeth, then left the arena and the venue without looking back, and walked away in shame.

He came in glory and left in disgrace, but the matter was not over yet. Ji Changkong felt insulted and planned to take revenge in the future. Liu Mang also hated his deadly and ruthless moves, and the resentful look Ji Changkong gave him when he left also made him want to kill him, so he planned to find a chance to deal with him in the future.

It was not until this moment that the entire audience reacted and cheered, congratulating Chief Escort Lin for defeating his senior master and defending the reputation of the Falling Shadow Divine Sword.

Afterwards, Liu Mang continued to defend the ring despite his injuries. Many people saw that he was seriously injured and wanted to take advantage of him. However, they didn't know that even though Chief Escort Lin had fought nearly a hundred battles and had a disabled hand, he could still deal with most of the enemies within three moves.

Finally, some top masters came out to challenge Liu Mang. He only relied on his horizontal training and swordsmanship to fight the enemy. The opponent had also seen his terrifying defense and swift swordsmanship and chose to fight steadily. It took him an average of 40 moves to defeat him. A top master is still a top master after all!

He sighed, not knowing that thousands of people present were frightened by his terrible performance. He fought nearly two hundred battles in a row, from morning to night, without drinking a sip of water or eating a bite of food, and even lost a pound of blood, and yet he won all the battles!
Is this a fucking human?
Even Zen Master Du Chi looked at him with a strange look in his eyes, and Yue Buqun, Ding Xian, Lu Bai and others looked at him as if he were a god!
Humph! How can you ordinary people know the power of the Thirteen Taibao's horizontal training? Even if I, Liu Mang, don't use internal force and have one hand disabled, I can still fight for a whole day and night!
The Thirteen Taibao's horizontal training advocates improving the essence of the body. Not only the defense is amazing, but the strength, endurance, physique and recovery ability are all greatly improved. The endurance can exceed that of the masters of Qigong by hundreds of times!
Today, he has superb swordsmanship, invincible defense, first-rate internal strength and lightness skills, almost reaching the pinnacle!

I won't fight anymore. I'm so tired.
