Traveling through the heavens from swallowing

Chapter 42: Conspiracy and Sword Fighting

Best of three games is actually unfair to Yue Buqun, because there are only three people in Feng Buping's group, and they are all seniors with the character "Bu" in their names!

On Yue Buqun's side, only he and Ning Zhongze are of the same generation as them, which means that no matter what, there must be a second-generation disciple to fight against the senior masters of the Sword Sect!
It is not known how the Sword Sect did it, perhaps it was the secret medicine of Shaolin or the secret technique of Wudang. In any case, the three of them are much stronger than in the original book. Just looking at their internal energy cultivation, Feng Buping has reached the top, Cheng Bushu and Cong Buqi are both above average, and their skills are much stronger than Ning Zhongze, who has practiced the Bone Strengthening Chapter of the Book of Changes for a year!

Not to mention swordsmanship. As a disciple of the Sword Sect, it is absolutely impossible for his swordsmanship to be inferior to his internal energy cultivation.

Unfortunately, his will has not changed and his qi and blood are depleted, which is a typical case of trading potential for strength. His lifespan may have been greatly affected.

Hatred drives people crazy!

Liu Mang made a rough comparison and felt that Ning Zhongze might not be able to defeat the weakest of the three, Never Qi.

Although this strength was gained by sacrificing the future, it cannot be denied that they are powerful at this moment. Even Lao Yue in the original novel is only on par with Cheng Buyou now.

Fortunately, Huashan’s strength is no longer what it used to be. Let’s take this opportunity to show our strength to the whole world.

Feng Buping will be dealt with by Lao Yue himself, Cheng Buyou will be handed over to Linghu Chong, Cong Buqi will be handed over to Lin Pingzhi, and forget about Ning Zhongze. Although she is a first-class master, she really can't beat Linghu Chong!

Having made the decision, Yue Buqun immediately sent people to the Cliff of Repentance to call Lin Pingzhi and Linghu Chong.

The Jianqi Chongxiao Hall immediately fell silent. Everyone was confused and had no desire to communicate.

This action can almost be said to be a break-up. It is impossible for Liu Mang not to realize that this is aimed at him. A mere Yue Buqun is not worthy of being dealt with by six top masters.

If the Sword Sect wins this battle, Yue Buqun will lose his position as the head of Huashan. In order to protect the lives of his family and disciples, he will become a target that Zuo Lengchan and others can win over.

A man as scheming as Yue Buqun is, after losing his position as the leader of Huashan, he would never fight to the death with the Four-Party Alliance for Liu Mang. Instead, there is a high possibility that they would join forces to fight against Liu Mang.

The relationship between Liu Mang and Yue Buqun began with a transaction and will end with interests.

Although it is pitiful what Yue Buqun's original fate was like, it is undeniable that Old Yue is not a good person. It is better to expect the sun to rise from the west than to expect him to stick by his friends!

The situation is already clear, but where does the Four-Party Alliance get the confidence to deal with Liu Mang?
Even the peerless Dongfang Bubai couldn't break Liu Mang's defense. Even if they had more top masters, it would be meaningless against Liu Mang who couldn't break his defense. They should know why.
Suddenly, Liu Mang realized that, no, they were not here to deal with me, but to stop me from taking revenge on Yue Buqun who had failed in the sword fight and turned to them!

No, more than that!

Yue Buqun is just a starting point, Fuwei Escort Agency is the key to their plan!
Not only do they want to stop me from taking revenge on Yue Buqun for his betrayal, they also want to stop me from leaving Huashan and returning to Fujian!

Good man, he thinks he will win for sure! Liu Mang sneered, he is too confident!

Liu Mang's guess was correct. The group led by Fang Zheng did indeed plan this.

First, gather all the experts to Mount Huashan and fight with swords to win over Yue Buqun. It would be great if we win, but it doesn't matter if we lose. As long as they don't leave, Liu Mang will not leave either.

On the other hand, they sent lurking agents in the Fuwei Escort Agency and the Demon Cult to create conflicts between the two sides and lead the two forces to go to war. They intercepted all messengers on the road, so that Liu Mang would confront them without knowing anything.

At the same time, this is also their alibi. When the Demon Cult learned that all the righteous masters gathered at Huashan, they intercepted the information and took the opportunity to destroy the Fuwei Escort Agency. What a good explanation! It is very likely that they will not be affected by Liu Mang.

Now that the Fuwei Escort Agency has lost Liu Mang, a peerless master, they will certainly be no match for the evil cult led by Dongfang Bubai.

Given the hatred between the two sides in recent years, as long as the Fuwei Escort Agency is defeated, Liu Mang's family will be wiped out, and the masters of the escort agency will be imprisoned if they don't die. Under the influence of the Three Corpses Brain Pill, they will all become the power of the Demon Cult.

Afterwards, he revealed the news to Liu Mang. After receiving the news, Liu Mang rushed to the Black Wood Cliff to fight a decisive battle with Dongfang Bubai in order to avenge his blood feud.

Afterwards, the power and connections accumulated by Shaolin and Wudang for hundreds or thousands of years can be demonstrated a little, and both sides can be directly labeled as rebels. The army will send out artillery fire to cover them, and even if Liu Mang is indestructible, he will die under the power of the times!
And then it doesn’t matter even if their conspiracy is exposed.

Fuwei was destroyed, the Demon Cult was destroyed, Shuangji died, the martial arts world returned to the control of Shaolin and Wudang, the people were safe, the court was relieved, everything was beautiful!
Over the years, the Fuwei Escort Agency has gradually gone beyond the control of Shaolin. Both the Northern and Southern Shaolin can no longer sit idly by and watch Liu Mang continue to exist. It has become a consensus among the Northern and Southern Shaolin and Wudang to eliminate him and reap the fruits together with the Sun and Moon Sect that has been left alone for nearly a hundred years!
The plan had already begun when they set out. A year of preparation was more than enough. When they arrived at Huashan, the Fuwei Escort Agency had already started a war with the Demon Cult. In just a few days, once Dongfang Bubai made a move, the outcome would be decided!

Unfortunately, they didn't know that Liu Mang had already known their quality, nor did they understand Dongfang Bubai. This plan had no chance of success from the beginning.

Because Liu Mang and Dongfang Bubai had already agreed to have a decisive battle on top of the Forbidden City four years later!

Therefore, Dongfang Bubai would not take action no matter what.

If he fails in his climb to the heavenly realm and loses his ambition, it will not be his business if all the members of the Demon Sect die; if he remains ambitious, he will restrain his subordinates from having conflicts with the Fuwei Escort Agency, and when he defeats Liu Mang in a pinnacle battle four years later, the Fuwei Escort Agency will be within his grasp!

Liu Mang from the Fuwei Escort Agency also made arrangements with Wang Wan to restrain everyone from taking the initiative to attack, and everything had to wait for four years.

The more calculating people are, the more likely they are to fall into some unexpected difficulties.

Guess who Liu Mang would suspect first when he receives the news if the plans of Shaolin and Wudang fail?

If the Demon Cult does not take action, the only ones capable of cutting off his information channels are these righteous representatives and the imperial court.

If the imperial court took action, given the current level of development of firearms and the factional struggles among civil officials, the Fuwei Escort Agency would not be able to resist as long as the imperial court made up its mind. As long as the Lin family as the leader and the group of masters as the pillar were eliminated, the Fuwei Escort Agency would collapse on its own.

Moreover, the Fuwei Escort Agency, which relied on force rather than the system, was not qualified to survive under the iron hoof of the Ming Dynasty. The Fuwei Escort Agency did not believe in religion, did not engage in smuggling, did not hide armor, did not evade taxes, and had a loose structure. There was no reason to destroy it.

Only the righteous parties that arrived today have both the ability and the suspicion to do such a thing!

Half an hour later, Linghu Chong and Lin Pingzhi finally arrived. Everyone was excited, as the event was finally about to begin!

As the main generals of both sides, Yue Buqun and Feng Buping would naturally not be the first to go on the field.

As for the Sword Sect, Cheng Buyu was the first to come forward. As the strongest person under Feng Buping, he was confident that no one in Huashan could match him except Yue Buqun, and he wanted to win the first victory for his side!
Originally, according to Tian Ji's horse racing method, the Sword Sect could not defeat the Qi Sect, and now they dared to go on the field first. Liu Mang almost laughed out loud.

Linghu Chong walked into the arena holding a sword, with a look of confidence on his face, which made Cheng Buyou very angry!

What do you mean? I am your senior, do you still have the confidence to win? You are insulting me!

Speaking of facts, Linghu Chong did not insult him.

After fighting for seventy moves, Linghu Chong became more and more courageous. He completely saw through Cheng Buyou's swordsmanship. He rushed forward with the Qi-breaking Style, scratched his wrist with the Sword-breaking Style, and then put his sword on Cheng Buyou's neck.

The first battle is over, Qi Zong wins!
In the second battle, Never Give Up faced Lin Pingzhi. After only fifty moves, Lin Pingzhi cut off Never Give Up's right foot with one sword, winning the second battle.

The third battle, Feng Buping versus Yue Buqun!
The ultimate battle was extraordinary, and it fought all the way from Jianqi Chongxiao Hall to outside.

Yue Buqun’s Zixia is stunning and his strength is invincible, while Feng Buping’s swordsmanship is superb and every move is a lethal blow!

The pinnacle showdown between Qi and sword fascinated the Huashan disciples who were watching the match. The first-rate masters of Shaolin, Wudang, Songshan, Hengshan and Taishan also looked solemn, feeling that they could not withstand ten moves from these two men.

Suddenly, Feng Buping used the sword as a guide, mobilized his own vast internal energy, and the tip of the sword showed a three-inch sword light, forcing Yue Buqun to dodge.

But Yue Buqun was not in a hurry. He used the Zixia magic skill to its limit. His face was covered with purple and the invisible and dense energy instantly enveloped Feng Buping!

The sword that was originally aimed at Yue Buqun suddenly deviated. It was because Feng Buping's wrist was bounced by Zixia's energy. The energy entered the Shenmen acupoint and attacked the heart along the Shaoyin Heart Meridian!
Feng Buping was shocked and quickly gathered his true energy to suppress the energy entering his body, forgetting to attack for a moment.

The opportunity was fleeting, Yue Buqun used his ultimate move, and the Three Green Peaks of Taiyue whizzed past. The majestic Zixia Qi gave this move infinite power. Feng Buping, who was a step slower, could only raise his sword to block.

The moment the two swords touched, Zixia's true energy burst out and directly cut off Feng Buping's sword!
puff!
The long sword enters the body, and the sword energy penetrates the human body and shoots out from the back!

Blood spurted out, dyeing the sword energy red. The bloody sword energy extended three feet away and cut the stone statue that was unfortunately affected in half!

The upper part of the stone statue soared into the sky and slammed heavily on the ground in front of Zuo Lengchan.

The weight of nearly ten thousand pounds smashed a deep pit in the ground. The splashed dust rushed towards Zuo Lengchan and covered him, making his face gloomy.

Such a powerful sword pierced through Feng Buping, shattering his internal organs in an instant, and his life was instantly cut off!
With two hundred and twenty-four moves, Yue Buqun killed Feng Buping, who was also a top-notch master!

Yue Buqun exhaled and ended his practice. The purple color on his face disappeared, and he felt a little sorry when looking at Feng Buping's body.

Feng Buping used secret methods and secret medicines to increase his power and shorten his life, but he failed to raise his consciousness to the highest level. His Qi circulation and Qi perception were far behind those of a true top master. He failed to detect the sudden attack of Zixia's power, and failed to resolve the Qi entering his body in time. He was slow at every step, and was eventually killed by Yue Buqun with a single sword.

The real top should be impeccable, no matter the moves or the true energy, no matter the consciousness or the perception, the gap should be far from that of the first-class masters.

Feng Buping controlled his superb body with first-rate consciousness. Even if his swordsmanship was very advanced, it would be in vain if he couldn't hit the person.

But he reacted a split second late to the enemy's attack, and this single split second was enough to determine life or death!
A top master died, but Fangzheng, Chongxu and Du Chi looked as usual, as if the one who died was not a top master in martial arts, but a tiny ant.

Ignore? Yue Buqun was in a trance, as if he had never seen the world of martial arts clearly.

The so-called masters, the so-called top masters, in front of the transcendent traditions like Shaolin and Wudang, are they nothing more than pawns that can be discarded at any time?

So is his so-called strength really that strong? Is there really any meaning in practicing martial arts?
No! Yue Buqun woke up, it was meaningful! The top is an ant, so what if he is the best? If being the best is not enough, then what if he is above?

There is no end to martial arts. As long as you keep improving and never give up, one day, I will make sure Shaolin and Wudang will never dare to bully Huashan again!

Yue Buqun set a goal, his martial arts will became more resolute, his soul ushered in a hearty baptism, and Zixia's true qi seemed to become more docile.

Yue Buqun won all three matches and defended his position as the leader of Huashan. The sword fight ended here.

But the atmosphere in Jianqi Chongxiao Hall did not relax, but became even heavier!

There is not much left of The Smiling, Proud Wanderer. The plot after The Smiling, Proud Wanderer basically does not exist. It is impossible for such a powerful Linghu Chong to be tricked by the Six Immortals of Taogu and Monk Bujie. He should just stay in Huashan and take over as the head of the sect.
