Sword from Songshan

Chapter 134: Accumulated soil makes a mountain, accumulated water makes a sea

Bang~!

With a heavy muffled sound, several Songshan disciples flew backwards.

In the square, two or three hundred people surrounded Lu Nanxing, making it impossible to get through.

But how much open space could there be around Lu Nanxing? Not to mention two or three hundred people, even twenty or thirty people would be too crowded.

In other words, Lu Nanxing only faced a dozen or twenty people at the same time.

With only second- or third-rate martial arts and these few men and these few swords, how could they be a match for Lu Nanxing?

The Juque sword penetrated straight in with unstoppable force, breaking swords and injuring people wherever it passed.

Dong dong dong~!

Since they were parting ways, Lu Nanxing didn't need to hold back any longer. He was just about to start killing people and force Zuo Lengchan to release them when suddenly a dull drum sound was heard from outside.

As if receiving an order, all the Songshan disciples who had been besieging Lu Nanxing retreated one after another.

Return?
Lu Nanxing frowned slightly. Is he giving up now?

Or perhaps, knowing that these ordinary disciples were useless, Zuo Lengchan and the others prepared to take action themselves.

It’s not like they haven’t fought before. Even if Zuo Lengchan and other bodyguards join forces, Lu Nanxing is not afraid at all.

If Lu Nanxing wasn't sure he could protect himself, how would he dare to go up the mountain like this?

Ta Ta Ta Ta~!

Two or three hundred Songshan disciples were guarding the periphery of the square. Dozens of people rushed up with hurried footsteps, but they were not Zuo Lengchan and his group.

But unlike before, these people did not rush forward at once, but lined up in an orderly manner.

"Sword array?"

Lu Nanxing narrowed his eyes slightly and had a serious expression.

There are five groups in total, each with twelve people, holding the same standard long swords, arranged in an orderly manner and moving in sequence. Isn't this some kind of sword formation?

Lu Nanxing has been in Songshan Sect for a long time, but he has never heard of any sword formation.

Is it because he is ignorant, or is Zuo Lengchan deliberately hiding it?

If he had just started practicing, it doesn't look like that judging from his level of proficiency.

"Humph."

Who cares what sword formation it is, just break it.

Lu Nanxing snorted coldly, used the power of the mountain sword, and slashed down with the sword.

Bang~!

The twelve men worked in a group as if one, raising their swords to block at the same time.

There was a sharp sound and sparks flew, but the twelve swords were like a rock fortress and did not move at all.

"what?"

Lu Nanxing looked surprised and looked across again.

A mere twelve people were able to withstand the power of his mountain sword. It seemed that he had underestimated this sword formation.

After a brief pause, he struck out several swords in succession, mixing the mountain sword force with the wind sword force.

But no matter how heavy it was like a mountain or as fast as the wind, it was all blocked.

However, the mere twelve people felt to Lu Nanxing like a towering mountain.

Mountains can bear the weight of mountains and block strong winds.

"What a truth."

Looking at the sword formation on the opposite side, Lu Nanxing pondered in his heart.

The so-called sword formation is to combine the strength of all people in the formation in some way, so that the effect of one plus one is greater than two can be achieved.

No matter what formation, it must follow certain principles.

This is somewhat similar to the sword momentum.

If you cannot break the formation by force, you must understand its principles and break it by cleverness.

There are five groups in total, with twelve people in each group, which just corresponds to the five elements and twelve zodiac signs.

After the fight just now, this group of people gave Lu Nanxing the feeling of a mountain. Could it be that they correspond to the earth element in the five elements?
"In that case."

Thinking of this, Lu Nanxing leaped up and leaped in front of another group.

Then there was another sword, still with the mountain sword force.

The Earth Element is heavy and can naturally block the force of the Mountain Sword, but the other four elements do not have such power.

Bang~!

But what Lu Nanxing didn't expect was that, accompanied by a sharp sound, the other twelve long swords once again firmly held the Juque.

Lu Nanxing frowned slightly, and then struck out several more swords in succession, still mixing the mountain sword force with the wind sword force.

But the result was the same as before, all of them were accepted.

"Am I wrong?"

Lu Nanxing's expression was solemn, and he then used the same method to attack several other groups.

All the sword forces were blocked, and each set gave him the same feeling.

Each of the Five Elements has its own characteristics. So, does that mean this sword formation does not follow the principles of the Five Elements?

If not the five elements, what do these five groups of people represent?
Swish~!

While he was thinking, the opponent had already switched from defense to offense, and twelve long swords stabbed at him at the same time.

Lu Nanxing had a serious expression on his face and Juque came forward to meet him.

After changing the offensive, it was still just as heavy. Lu Nanxing had a hard time defending himself.

He couldn't help but frown again. How could just twelve swords be stronger than the Mountain Sword?

According to the experiment just now, the properties of each of the five groups of hands are the same. If this is the case, why do we need five groups?

Since there are five groups, why don't they attack and defend together, but only one group takes action each time?
While dealing with it, Lu Nanxing observed and thought.

After dozens of rounds of fighting, they still couldn't break the formation.

Fortunately, Lu Nanxing mastered the Shenzhao Gong, which combines many mental skills, one of which is the continuous internal force.

If it were anyone else, even if they had deep internal strength, they would be exhausted after being hit so hard one after another.

Once the strength is exhausted, it is a dead end.

"This boy's inner strength is already so profound!"

Looking at Lu Nanxing, who remained calm in the sword formation, Zuo Lengchan's face was gloomy.

He thought to himself that even if he were in the Songyang Sword Formation, he wouldn't be able to hold out for long.

In this way, under the watchful eyes of everyone in Songshan Sect, Lu Nanxing had already sustained over a hundred moves in the sword formation!

"Let's see how long he can last!"

Zuo Lengchan's face was gloomy, and he thought that Lu Nanxing would soon collapse.

"I understand!"

In the sword formation, Lu Nanxing suddenly opened his eyes wide and looked delighted.

These more than one hundred moves were not wasted, as he finally understood the operating principle of this sword formation.

In fact, it’s still the five elements!
But it is not a simple one-to-one correspondence between the five elements, but rather a mutual generation of the five elements.

Metal produces water, water produces wood, wood produces fire, and fire produces earth.

Each group represents an element, and through mutual generation, the power is eventually concentrated on the earth element.

This is actually somewhat similar to the Twelve Circulation Qigong, which is why Lu Nanxing was able to see through it so quickly.

Therefore, there is always only one group attacking, rather than five groups attacking separately.

Although there are twelve swords, they actually carry all the power of the entire sword formation. After mutual assistance, the power is even stronger!

"How to break..."

Although I understand the principle, it is extremely difficult to break the formation.

The five elements are interdependent, and if any one of them is broken, the entire system will be broken.

But the beauty of this sword formation lies in the fact that the five elements represented by each group are not fixed, but can change at any time.

The only principle is that the group facing Lu Nanxing will be the Earth Element, and the remaining four groups will serve as the other four elements to provide assistance.

This is why, no matter which group he faced, Lu Nanxing felt the heavy power of the earth.

It doesn't make sense to attack which group specifically, the connection between them must be cut off, and to do this, we must see through the mystery of the operation of this sword formation.

A hundred moves is far from enough. Even with Lu Nanxing's knowledge, it would probably take thousands of moves.

Facing this sword formation, every move was extremely heavy. After a thousand moves, even if Lu Nanxing had inexhaustible internal energy, it would still be a big challenge for him.

Swish~!

While he was thinking, twelve swords attacked again.

Lu Nanxing knew how powerful the opponent was, so he stopped fighting with the Mountain Sword Force, and the Wind Sword Force was no longer applicable. He subconsciously switched to the Water Sword Force.

Although it is not yet mature, the water sword is better at defense and can save some energy.

Bang~!

With a muffled sound, Lu Nanxing took several steps back.

Water comes to earth, and among the five elements, earth just overcomes water. Using the water sword to deal with the earth sword formation, Lu Nanxing suffered a lot of innate disadvantages.

But before he could think of a way to break the formation, Lu Nanxing could only temporarily respond with the power of water sword.

"He's dying!"

Seeing Lu Nanxing switch to a defensive position and start to lose ground, Zuo Lengchan and others were all cheered up.

The Songyang Sword Formation has extremely high requirements for footwork. Once the steps between groups are messed up, the five elements cannot be generated.

If Zuo Lengchan and the others took action at this moment, not only would they not be able to form a united sword formation, but they would become a hindrance instead, which was why they just stood there and watched.

Seeing that Lu Nanxing was finally defeated, he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

"Everyone be careful! Don't let him get away!"

Then, Zuo Lengchan gave another reminder.

Having seen Lu Nanxing's lightness skills, he could easily escape from the Songyang Sword Formation even if he was no match for it.

The Songyang Sword Formation was too heavy and not flexible enough, and was completely unable to stop Lu Nanxing who was flying in the air.

At this time, they, along with the more than 200 disciples outside the square, were there to prevent Lu Nanxing from escaping.

He vowed to force Lu Nanxing into the sword formation until he was dragged to death.

Bang~!

There was another loud noise, and Lu Nanxing took two steps back again.

It looked as if it was already difficult to support, but in fact water has no fixed shape. He just took advantage of the situation and did not suffer too much impact himself.

Although the power of the water sword was restrained, Lu Nanxing had no choice for the time being and simply dealt with it first.

As long as you drag it out long enough and gradually understand the mystery of the sword formation, you will be able to crack it.

The plan has been decided. Although Lu Nanxing was suppressed, he was not anxious in his heart.

Another moment passed, and the fight had lasted more than two hundred moves.

Lu Nanxing became more and more certain that this sword formation followed the principle of the five elements.

After fighting for three hundred moves, Lu Nanxing was convinced that this was the mutual generation of the five elements.

Continue to maneuver until four hundred moves have passed.

Lu Nanxing noticed that these five groups of people seemed to be in disarray, but in fact their steps followed a certain trajectory.

After five hundred moves, Lu Nanxing became more and more familiar with the sword formation footwork.

But what exactly the rules and principles are is still unclear.

After six hundred moves, Lu Nanxing could gradually predict the changes in these steps and was overjoyed.

If you can predict it, you can cut it off!

As long as the communication between each group is cut off, this sword formation can be broken!
However, he couldn't see it clearly yet, and it would take some time.

"what happened!"

Hundreds of moves have been exchanged. Not to mention that Lu Nanxing is young, even those seniors with profound skills would have been exhausted.

Lu Nanxing had already been defeated, but he had not fallen down until this moment.

For a moment, Zuo Lengchan couldn't help but feel a little impatient and shouted at the formation.

"Kill him quickly!"

On the sword formation side, even if the sixty of them worked together and had the five elements of mutual generation, they were still fighting Lu Nanxing for hundreds of moves, and everyone's energy was consumed greatly.

If they continued to drag on, even if Lu Nanxing didn't break their sword formation, they would not be able to hold on.

Hearing Zuo Lengchan's order at this time, he decided to go all out!
The formation changed rapidly, like a compressed spring, and then suddenly launched the attack again.

"This is!"

After fighting for nearly seven hundred moves, Lu Nanxing gradually figured out the trick.

He immediately realized that this was a charged attack, and it was probably several times heavier than the previous one!
Not daring to delay, he used all his strength to wield the water sword.

Bang~!

Twelve swords attacked at the same time, more than three times heavier than before!
Although Lu Nanxing tried his best, there was still a gap and he immediately took a step back.

Softness can overcome hardness and water has no fixed shape, but this time it has reached its limit.

"Hold on!"

Lu Nanxing clenched his teeth, gathered all his strength, and gripped the hilt of the sword tightly.

If he retreated again, he would probably be knocked away by this sword.

"Ok?"

When the battle was about to be lost, Lu Nanxing suddenly realized that under the tremendous pressure, the sword's force seemed to have undergone some subtle changes.

The previous water sword force was just for defense, using the inclusiveness of water to block all attacks.

But it’s different now, there’s an extra flow in the sword’s power.

"circulation?"

Lu Nanxing's heart moved, he gave up thinking and simply followed the sword's movement.

This change was not a big deal. The originally unbearable force was actually pulled under the power of the water sword.

It is like a huge tree falling into the water. If it were just a pool of stagnant water, it could withstand a certain impact, but it would eventually have its limits.

But the flow is different, like an undercurrent or a whirlpool, which can not only dissolve the impact of the giant tree, but also allow it to move with the water flow.

Even, rolling the giant tree back.

"Rewind? Yes! That's it!"

Lu Nanxing’s eyes widened, and he understood everything in an instant.

The so-called water sword power is not just about carrying things. Water can carry a boat, but it can also capsize it!

To put it bluntly, it means to use the opponent's force against you, or even return it double.

"Go back!"

Lu Nanxing's face suddenly became solemn. He shouted loudly, and the sword energy flowed, directly returning all the power he had endured.

Boom~!

This sword was originally extremely heavy, and after being circulated by the water sword force, it became several times more powerful.

If it was a river tide before, now it is a tsunami!

Wow~!

The sudden huge force was so overwhelming that the twelve people were like a small boat. They could not withstand it at all and were directly knocked away.

The four groups behind them were implicated and defeated instantly!

"This is!"

Victory seemed in sight just now, but the situation suddenly reversed, and Zuo Lengchan and others were all shocked.

Then he came to his senses and frowned again as he looked at the sixty people lying on the ground, most of whom were dead or injured.

Lu Nanxing actually broke the Songyang Sword Formation!
"I really didn't expect that."

Lu Nanxing casually made a sword flower that flowed like water, with a slight smile on the corner of his mouth.

After fighting for seven hundred moves, under the suppression of the Songyang Sword Formation, he actually comprehended the true power of water sword.

"How can you, a thief, be so presumptuous!"

With a loud shout, Zuo Lengchan and others attacked together.

Since the sword formation was broken, they had no choice but to take action themselves. Although they were not sure they could capture and kill Lu Nanxing, they could at least force him to retreat and thus save the face of the Songshan Sect.

"I won't play with you anymore."

Although Lu Nanxing's internal energy was inexhaustible, he had just broken the sword formation and consumed too much of it in one go, and it was difficult to recover and replenish it all at once.

Even though Zhang Wuji had mastered the Nine Yang Magic Art and could withstand three palm strikes from Nun Miejue, he still needed to take a short rest in between.

Lu Nanxing did not get entangled with Zuo Lengchan and the others for the time being and immediately performed his lightness skills.

As for the more than 200 Songshan disciples outside the square, they were like decorations and could not stop him at all.

But Lu Nanxing did not run away, but jumped straight into the depths of Songshan Sect.

After searching everywhere for about an incense stick of time, they found no trace of Lin Pingzhi and the others.

It makes sense. Since Zuo Lengchan has detained them, the situation must be extremely strict.

"what?"

Just when Lu Nanxing had searched everywhere in vain and was about to give up, he suddenly saw a person and couldn't help but smile.

He leaped forward and came directly in front of the man.

“…Lu Nanxing!”

Zuo Ting was enjoying his wine when he saw Lu Nanxing suddenly appear and was stunned for a moment.

Bang~!

Without waiting for a reaction, Lu Nanxing had already pressed his acupoints.

As the second son of Zuo Lengchan, Zuo Ting's martial arts skills are much inferior to Zuo Feiying's. Although he relied on Zuo Lengchan's reputation to get the name of Tianwai Hansong, he is only second-rate.

"He caught the Second Young Master!"

The people from Songshan School chased after them and were instantly panicked when they saw Lu Nanxing grabbing Zuo Ting.
