Laughing at the Heavens: From Flying Knife Skills to Shattering the Void

Chapter 71: Exchanging hostages and having a heart-to-heart talk with Ning Zhongze!
The next day.

Yue Buqun finally brought Linghu Chong and Lao Denuo to the woods as agreed.

In the woods.

Yue Buqun held a sword in front of Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng, "If you release Lingshan, I can spare your lives. If you are stubborn, I will have to kill you to stop the killing."

Yue Buqun spoke coldly.

"Yue Buqun, you are so arrogant!"

Yu Canghai sneered, "Although the two of us are indeed no match for you, it is not that easy for you to kill us. What's more, if you dare to do it, I will kill your daughter first."

Yu Canghai put his sword on Yue Lingshan's neck and said, "Hand over the Sword Manual of Exorcism, or I will separate your daughter's head and body right now."

"you dare!"

Yue Buqun had murderous intent in his eyes, but Yue Lingshan was in the hands of the other party, so he was cautious.

Linghu Chong also looked nervous at this moment and gripped his sword tightly.

At the same time, he couldn't help but look back at Yue Buqun.

After a long while, Yue Buqun took a deep breath and said coldly: "Okay, I can give you the sword manual, and we will exchange the person and the item."

Yue Buqun took out the sword manual from his arms.

"No, I need to verify the authenticity of the sword manual. If what you give me is not the real sword manual, then I will fall into your trap."

Mu Gaofeng shouted.

"I, Yue Buqun, would not resort to such tricks. If you don't believe me, I will burn him to death to prevent future troubles."

Yue Buqun was not shaken by the threat. He sneered and took out the fire starter.

"and many more!"

Seeing this scene, Yu Canghai could no longer sit still and immediately raised his hand to stop it.

He didn't dare to gamble. After paying such a huge price, if the sword manual was burned, everything would be in vain and the person would die in vain.

He looked at Mu Gaofeng, and after they exchanged glances, he nodded, then turned around and said, "Okay, I'll trust you again to see if you, Yue Buqun, are a true gentleman."

"But ask the disciple next to you to switch, and you stay away from him."

Yu Canghai's gaze fell on Lao Denuo.

"Do you think I would trust you?"

Yue Buqun snorted coldly, his eyes fell on Luo Renjie, "You guys should also change someone."

"it is good."

Yu Canghai agreed.

Not long after, Luo Renjie led Yue Lingshan forward, while Lao Denuo walked forward with the sword manual.

In the end, the person was rescued safely.

"Master, I have accomplished my mission."

Laudeno said immediately.

"father."

Yue Lingshan also looked remorseful.

However, Yue Buqun raised his hand to stop Yue Lingshan from speaking, his eyes fell on Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng, "I, Yue Buqun, have never been threatened by anyone in my life. You are the first."

Yue Buqun spoke calmly, but there was a hint of anger hidden in his voice.

After Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng received the sword manual, they were all smiling. "Master Yue, I just want to get back what I deserve. Let's say goodbye now."

Yu Canghai flipped through the secret book and found that the sword techniques contained in it were bizarre and powerful. He immediately determined that this was definitely the real Sword Manual of Exorcism.

"Next time we meet, I'll let you know the price of provoking me."

Yue Buqun did not stop the two from leaving, but just stared at them and spoke coldly.

“Hahahaha, Sect Leader Yue, I won’t see you off!”

Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng left laughing.

"Master, what should we do now?"

Linghu Chong turned around and asked.

"Don't worry, let them be proud for a while, I will find an opportunity..."

Before Yue Buqun finished speaking, his expression suddenly became solemn.

Even the atmosphere of the entire forest became a little more depressing.

"Who?"

Yue Buqun shouted vigilantly.

Then a figure shot out from the forest and suddenly slammed towards Yue Buqun with a palm.

"Be careful!"

Yue Buqun shouted loudly and raised his palm to block.

But the next moment he felt a surge of powerful force. The powerful internal force made Yue Buqun retreat three steps before he could stand firm.

"Such a strong inner force, who are you?"

Yue Buqun raised his head in astonishment and looked at the man in black opposite him with uncertainty.

"Kill your people!"

The man in black replied coldly, then attacked again.

When Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan were about to help, they were repelled by Yue Buqun, who shouted without even turning his head, "Chong'er, take Lingshan and leave first!"

At this moment, Yue Buqun felt like he was facing a formidable enemy.

He knew very well that the people on the opposite side were by no means someone that Linghu Chong and his companions could deal with. They were not an equal match. If Linghu Chong and his companions stayed by his side, they would not only not be a help but would also become a burden. Without Linghu Chong and his companions, he could either fight or retreat.

The two sides exchanged dozens of moves, but Yue Buqun became more and more frightened as the battle went on, and his eyes were full of doubt and surprise as he looked at the man in black.

At this moment, he already had an answer in his heart.

Both sides knew it.

Yue Buqun did not say anything, but just kept an eye out for a way to retreat.

……

Huashan.

Siguo Cliff. Two elegant and graceful figures were dancing with swords on the cliff.

The two sides have a tacit understanding and cooperate with each other perfectly, just like a pair of golden boy and jade girl.

The two men's movements were graceful, their sword styles were like flowing clouds and running water, and when they looked at each other, it seemed as if there was a lingering affection between them.

"Ping An, your swordsmanship has improved significantly in the past two days."

After a long time, the two men put away their swords, and Ning Zhongze said with emotion.

"Since Master's Wife obtained the Huashan inheritance in the cave, her swordsmanship has become more and more unpredictable. I am still far behind her."

Lin Pingan is as humble as ever.

“No matter how sophisticated and profound the sword techniques are, I would not have thought that they would have been broken by someone a hundred years ago. Fortunately, these sword techniques are kept in our Huashan and have not been spread out. Otherwise, if they were to flow into the martial arts world, I’m afraid it would have become a disaster for our Five Mountains Sword School.”

Ning Zhongze put down his sword, sat down, and said with emotion.

Because if these tricks fall into the hands of the wrong people, they will definitely deal a heavy blow to all factions.

Even if those who are not as strong as her, such as Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng, obtain these tricks to break the code, she will still be threatened.

If you are not careful, you may be easily defeated by the opponent.

Therefore, Ning Zhongze felt very lucky that all this was in their Huashan.

The people who discovered it were also from Huashan.

"This means that God blesses Huashan."

Seeing Ning Zhongze pressing his shoulders, Lin Pingan took a few steps forward and said, "Master's shoulders must be sore, why don't I help you press them."

"This……"

Ning Zhongze was about to refuse when he heard Lin Pingan continue, "I have learned a few tricks before, and now is a good time to show off my skills to show my filial piety."

"Ok."

After hearing this, Ning Zhongze had no choice but to agree reluctantly.

Although it was not appropriate, after all, Lin Ping'an was an adult man, but the other party was his and his senior brother's disciple after all, so he agreed.

Lin Ping'an came behind Ning Zhongze, reached out and gently massaged his shoulders. After a moment, Ning Zhongze also completely relaxed.

"Recently, I have been copying the lost sword techniques of Mount Hua from the wall. I have been writing too much and my arms are indeed a little sore."

Ning Zhongze said slightly embarrassedly.

"I know Master's wife is working hard, so it is not useless if I can provide some help to her."

"What kind of words are these?"

Ning Zhongze immediately shook his head. "Although you have only been practicing for less than a month, I can see your filial piety. After you have mastered Hunyuan Gong, I will teach you other sword techniques. But you must remember that if you see the sword techniques in them, you can only practice my Huashan sword technique and must not be tempted by the unique skills of the other four sects."

Ning Zhongze turned around and gave a serious instruction.

Since Lin Ping'an was asked to guard the place, she naturally acquiesced to Lin Ping'an's secret learning of swordsmanship.

But there has to be a limit and you can't cross it.

"Master's wife, rest assured. I have only mastered the Huashan sword technique and have not yet mastered it. How can I be distracted by other things?"

Lin Pingan immediately said with a smile.

"That's good."

Ning Zhongze nodded, and then said earnestly: "The way of swordsmanship lies in sincerity, don't be greedy. In addition, I have recently selected some classics for you, you can also read more. You have excellent talent and your martial arts progress is very fast, but this may also bring you some other hidden dangers. Reading more can also help you get rid of the demons in your heart."

"Yes."

Lin Pingan replied.

"There is one more thing. I'm afraid that Miss Qu is not from the Liu Mansion. Is she related to the Demon Cult elder Qu Yang?"

Ning Zhongze suddenly asked again at this time.

After all, so much time had passed, and she had received some news, including the death of the Demon Cult elder Qu Yang.

Qu Feiyan also has the surname Qu, so it is easy to associate them together.

In fact, she had guessed it at the beginning, but she felt sorry for the little girl. If she had driven her away, she would have been killed by the Songshan School, so she didn't say it out loud.

"Master's Wife, please understand. I have met Qu Yang a few times before. He asked me to take care of his granddaughter."

Lin Ping'an did not hide anything and told everything truthfully.

"Although she is a member of the Demon Cult, she is just a little girl after all. The sins of the Demon Cult cannot be attributed to her. And you are not colluding with the Demon Cult. You are just kind-hearted. I can continue to help you conceal this matter, but it is not a problem for her to stay in Huashan all the time. You need to think of another way."

Ning Zhongze stood up and said to Lin Pingan with a sigh.

Although she couldn't bear it, if the Songshan Sect got to know about this, it would probably only bring new troubles.

"Master's wife, don't worry. I have an idea. When Master comes back in a while, I will send my foster parents to Luoyang, and I will also be able to send her to where she should go."

Lin Pingan said immediately.

"It's good that you have made arrangements. It's getting late now, so I'll go down first. I'll have someone bring you food when the time comes."

Ning Zhongze said after taking a look at the dark sky.

Not long after, Mrs. Wang went up the mountain carrying a lunch box.

As the night deepened, Zhong Zhen and Le Hou sneaked into Huashan.

The strength of these two people is naturally beyond the reach of ordinary Huashan night watch disciples.

"The woman who just came up the mountain is Lin Zhennan's wife. She came up the mountain with a lunch box so late at night. Could she be going to the place where she lives with Lin Zhennan?"

Zhong Zhen narrowed his eyes and whispered.

"Good opportunity. It seems they don't live in such a crowded place. This way it will be easier for us to catch them without alerting Ning Zhongze."

Le Hou's eyes lit up.

After all, Ning Zhongze's strength is far above theirs.

If Ning Zhongze is alarmed, it will be difficult to take the person away smoothly.

"Okay, let's wait until it gets darker and they rest, then we can go up and catch them."

Zhong Zhen said immediately.

And behind them, Tian Boguang also poked his head in.

Huashan is really lively today. Let me first see what the people from Songshan Sect want to do. Maybe I can take advantage of the situation.

Tian Boguang stroked his beard and gave a cunning smile.
