The world of martial arts, the immortal swordsman in the mortal realm.

Chapter 78, Scene 93: Total Annihilation! [Bonus Chapter, Please Vote!]

Although he found the Songshan Sect a bit inexplicable, Lu Chen was still quite satisfied with the situation today.

With the three top masters of the Songshan Sect and dozens of elite disciples gathered here, wouldn't the mysteries of the Songshan sword technique be laid bare for him to reap?

He then said to Rong'er:
“You stay in the tree and keep watch, I’ll go down and talk to them.”

How should one reason with a swordsman?
Truth lies only on the edge of the sword!
Although there were many people below, none of them were top-tier experts, nor did they set up any traps or mechanisms under their noses. This level of siege was no challenge for Lu Chen—he had come here in advance only because he was worried that the other side would secretly set up traps and mechanisms.

As for a siege, to deal with him now, we would need to bring out at least the same lineup that would have been used to siege Dongfang Bubai, right?

However, for Rong'er, even if she is wearing soft armor, it would be safer for her to stay in the tree to release hidden weapons and crack her whip.

Huang Rong didn't try to be brave and said:
"Go ahead, I'll cover for you."

Lu Chen nodded and leaped down from the tree.

Seeing him climb down from the tree, the members of the Songshan Sect all retreated, making way for an open space.

It's not that they suddenly want to follow the rules of the martial arts world, it's just that the current terrain is not suitable for an attack from all sides.

With his back against a tree as thick as two people could hug, Lu Chen could only be attacked from the front and both sides at the same time.

Since that's the case, the Songshan Sect members simply gave up some space and lured him away from the tree so that they could surround him completely.

Lu Chen seemed completely unaware of the intentions of the Songshan Sect members. After climbing down the tree, he naturally moved forward and left the large tree behind him.

Ding Mian gave a signal, and the Songshan disciples on both sides flanked Lu Chen from behind, completing the encirclement.

As for the "demoness" still remaining in the tree, they didn't pay much attention to her.

A mere little vixen, once she takes down Lu Chen, the "Flat-Handed Swordsman," it'll be a piece of cake.
Well, although Lu Chen's reputation as the "Heavenly Divine Sword" has gradually spread throughout Hengshan City, the Songshan Sect members still prefer to call him the "Flat-Handed Sword" out of contempt for their enemies.

"I have come here to duel as agreed."

Lu Chen looked at Ding Mian, Lu Bai, and Fei Bin directly opposite him:
"The Songshan sword technique is renowned throughout the martial world. As the three great protectors of the Songshan Sect, do you dare to challenge me to a sword duel?"

With their side outnumbered and possessing the three top-ranking bodyguards, Ding Mian felt victory was assured. Also eager to see Lu Chen's martial arts prowess firsthand and find his weaknesses, he immediately said to Fei Bin:
"Junior Brother Fei, let this little devil experience the swordsmanship of Mount Song, so that he won't die with his eyes wide open in disgrace."

Fei Bin smiled slightly:
"it is good."

He also wanted to test his swordsmanship against this "drawn sword".

His nickname was "Great Songyang Hand," but he was also a swordsman. How could he not be curious about Lu Chen's swordsmanship, which could draw with anyone?
With his two senior brothers by his side and dozens of disciples surrounding him, the situation was completely under control. Fei Bin could naturally feel at ease and boldly challenge Lu Chen to a sword duel.

Anyway, even if things go wrong, my two senior brothers can come to my aid in time. No matter how good this kid's swordsmanship is, how could he possibly hurt Fei Bin?

"Boy, you can die in peace today having learned the Songshan Sword Technique!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Fei Bin leaped forward, thrusting his longsword forward with the ferocity of a fierce general on the battlefield, charging forward on horseback with his spear.

Lu Chen's longsword was also drawn with a clang, its light forming a circle, using a soft defensive stance to resist Fei Bin's attack.

Dang Dang Dang...

A dense, rain-like sound of metal clashing rang out.

With his two senior brothers backing him up, Fei Bin had no worries and unleashed his full skills. As he moved and leaped, his longsword swept across the room with wide, sweeping movements, like a spear or halberd, launching a fierce and relentless attack. His movements were powerful, fierce, and unstoppable.

This is precisely the characteristic of Songshan swordsmanship: fierce swordplay, resembling a battle on the battlefield.

Under Fei Bin's aggressive and relentless offensive.

Lu Chen's dense and rounded sword light, seemingly light and weak, was surprisingly resilient and watertight. No matter how fiercely Fei Bin attacked, he could never break through his three-foot sword circle.

Ding Mian and Lu Bai, who were watching from the sidelines, both had strange looks in their eyes.

The reason is that Lu Chen's defensive sword stance, at first glance, is quite similar to the Hengshan School's sword techniques. However, upon closer examination, one will find that only the style of "roundness, softness, and inexhaustible abundance" is similar, while the specific sword moves are completely different.

As for what sword technique Lu Chen used, even with Ding Mian and Lu Bai's keen eyesight, they couldn't figure it out.

I could only occasionally glimpse a fragment of Hengshan swordsmanship, and sometimes I could see some of the sword styles of Huashan and Taishan.

Even when Lu Chen occasionally retaliated with a sword strike, there were still traces of the Songshan sword technique's iron cavalry charge and sudden, cold thrust.

In fact, this was still before Lu Chen had completely integrated the various sword techniques he had learned, or even those he had just learned, into one, and some traces of the sword techniques from different schools still remained.

Once he has completely integrated various sword techniques, even if Zuo Lengchan himself were to come, he would not be able to see any trace of the various schools of swordsmanship in his swordsmanship.

Dang Dang Dang...

The clanging of metal against metal rang out continuously, and before they knew it, the two had exchanged more than two hundred blows.

Ding Mian and Lu Bai were increasingly alarmed as they watched. They both felt that Lu Chen's swordsmanship was so natural that even after watching for so long, they couldn't find the slightest flaw.

And the title of "Flat-handed Sword" is truly well-deserved.

As the battle has progressed, Fei Bin has maintained an offensive, but Lu Chen's defense is impeccable, and he can occasionally launch a counterattack. On the surface, the two sides are evenly matched.

Even from the perspective of an observer with an obvious viewpoint, Ding Mian and Lu Bai could not tell who would gain the upper hand if the fight continued.

Fei Bin, who was in the thick of it all, became more and more courageous as the battle progressed.

He felt that he was in better condition than ever before. Not only did he use all the skills he had learned in his life to the fullest, but he also suddenly understood some essential points that he had not yet grasped before. His swordsmanship also improved a lot.

He felt that he was just a little bit away from disrupting Lu Chen's defense and gaining the upper hand completely. Although he didn't know when that "little bit" would arrive, Fei Bin firmly believed that if the fight continued, he would definitely win!
"What do you mean by 'drawn sword'? So what if you fought Tiansong and He Sanqi to a draw, and killed Tian Boguang with one sword? That's only because you haven't met me, Fei Bin! Once you meet Fei Bin, your invincible golden body will be shattered to pieces by me!"

Unbeknownst to him, Fei Bin had become incredibly confident, and a smug smile even appeared on his face.

However, he was unaware of this.

His sword duel with Lu Chen had gradually approached three hundred moves.

When the time limit of three hundred moves is reached.

Lu Chen's flawless and indestructible "three-foot sword circle" suddenly seemed to have reached its limit, contracting inwards sharply before rebounding abruptly.

As the three-foot sword rebounded, a dazzling sword light, like a flash of lightning in a rainy night or a rainbow flying from the sky, suddenly shot out, easily passing through the gap in Fei Bin's sword light, and gently touched his brow.

The sword tip touched the ground briefly before withdrawing, without penetrating deeply.

Fei Bin was jolted awake, as if struck by lightning. His attack came to an abrupt halt, and he stood frozen in place.

Ding Mian and Lu Bai looked completely bewildered.

That lightning-fast sword light was so fast and sudden that they didn't even have time to react, let alone offer any assistance.

but……

The sword tip only lightly touched Fei's forehead before retracting, without piercing Fei's brow. Fei should be alright, right?
Is that young Lu boy still wary of the prestige of Mount Song...?

Just as Ding Mian and Lu Bai were feeling relieved, they suddenly noticed a small red spot slowly appearing between Fei Bin's eyebrows.

The smug, arrogant look he'd had when he felt so powerful still lingered on his face, but his eyes quickly dimmed. Then his longsword fell to the ground, and he collapsed backward. Fei Bin was dead.

Lu Chen's sword only lightly touched his brow.

but……

Lu Chen's sword has a range of attack that is never limited to the sword itself.

Until Fei Bin collapsed to the ground.

Ding Mian and Lu Baifang suddenly realized what was happening.

"Junior Brother Fei!"

Ding Mian's eyes were bloodshot and his gaze was almost popping out of their sockets. He raised his hand and pointed at Lu Chen:
"Kill him! Tear him to pieces!"

The disciples of Mount Song were also greatly shocked by Fei Bin's death, but when Ding Mian gave the order, they did not hesitate and rushed forward from all directions, each using the Mount Song sword technique to attack Lu Chen.

Lu Chen remained calm and took a step forward to meet the Songshan disciples who were rushing towards him.

With a flash of sword light, the sword-wielding hands of the two Songshan disciples were severed at the wrists. Before they could even scream, the sword light drew a ribbon-like, graceful arc and with a soft thud, sliced ​​off their throats.

Afterwards, Lu Chen used the "Sword Shadow Step," a technique he created by combining the footwork of multiple profound sword techniques and incorporating the essence of lightness skills from Peach Blossom Island, the Ancient Tomb Sect, and the lower volume of Nine Yin Manual. His figure was like a ghost, appearing and disappearing among the crowd. He would suddenly appear in front of you and then suddenly appear behind you. For a moment, the disciples of Songshan Mountain couldn't tell how many Lu Chens were flashing around in the crowd, and they were so dizzy from his movements.

Lu Chen's movements are now starting to resemble Master Huang's style of shaking people until they faint!
At the same time, his sword flashed repeatedly, and with each strike, someone would either have their wrist severed, their heart pierced, or their throat ripped open.

This group of carefully selected Songshan disciples who participated in Liu Zhengfeng's extermination of his family were indeed all elites with considerable martial arts skills.

With their numbers and strength, wiping out the Huashan Sect disciples, including Linghu Chong, would be a piece of cake, without any problem.

Unfortunately, they encountered Lu Chen.

Since arriving in the world of Swordsman, Lu Chen first acquired the Gale Sword, the Huashan Sword Sect Sword Technique, and the Hengshan Sword Technique. Recently, in Hengshan City, he challenged several swordsmen and acquired the Taishan Sword Technique, the Yandang Sword Technique, and some other sword techniques that, while not very well-known, still possessed some unique and skillful moves.

Today I also learned the Songshan Sword Technique.

Furthermore, although his skill level has not advanced by leaps and bounds over the past few months, he has made solid progress every day.

His martial arts skills are now much stronger than when he first arrived in The Smiling, Proud Wanderer.

If at the beginning of his arrival he was only able to rely on his unique skills and techniques to unexpectedly kill the "weak Five Greats" of the Second Theory, then now he is a true Second Theory Five Great.

As for swordsmanship, it can be said to be unique among the Five Greats in the Second Discussion.

In terms of movement, swordsmanship, and internal strength, Lu Chen far surpasses the disciples of Songshan. To restrain Lu Chen, Zuo Lengchan would have to personally lead all thirteen bodyguards of Songshan to besiege him, otherwise Lu Chen would consider temporarily avoiding the limelight.

With Ding Mian and Lu Bai by his side, Lu Chen could easily slaughter these Songshan disciples, cutting them down like vegetables.
Seeing the elite disciples fall to the ground and die one after another under Lu Chen's sword, Ding Mian's heart bled. He could no longer hold back and quietly circled around to Lu Chen's back. When Lu Chen was facing the attack of five swords in front and on both sides, Ding Mian suddenly struck out with his palm, hitting Lu Chen's back.

When this palm strike was first unleashed, the power was contained and not released, and the palm strike was silent. Only when he felt that Lu Chen had no room to react did Ding Mian unleash his full power and unleash his strongest palm strike.

In an instant, the air in front of his palm vibrated, bursting with the roar of wind and thunder.

Seeing that Lu Chen seemed to be unable to react in time, a look of pleasure appeared in Ding Mian's eyes. But suddenly, Lu Chen, who was facing the enemy in front of him, suddenly swung out a palm with his left hand.

This palm strike just happened to intercept Ding Mian's palm that was about to imprint on Lu Chen's back. It was the only palm technique that Lu Chen had worked hard to master and had grasped the true meaning of, the Divine Dragon Swings its Tail!

Bang!
The two palms clashed violently, like detonating a cannonball. The air exploded with a deafening roar, creating visible ripples of air that swept in all directions. Dust rose from the ground, turning into rolling dust rings that spread outwards. Several Songshan disciples who were nearby were even knocked back by the powerful shockwave and fell to the ground.

Ding Mian, who directly confronted "Dragon's Tail Swing," suffered a sudden loss of sensation in his arm, from his fingertips to his shoulder, and his entire arm immediately went numb. His chest was also filled with boiling internal energy, and his blood surged upwards.

Before he could even turn and retreat, Lu Chen swung his sword again, the longsword emerging from under his ribs like a snake spitting its tongue, and with a soft "plop," it gently touched his throat.

Ding Mian's large body suddenly stiffened, a look of unwillingness appearing on his face. He staggered back two steps, fell to the ground, and made a strange muttering sound in his throat. Then he lay on his back and fell asleep.

Ding Mian, the leader of the Thirteen Protectors, died so easily. From beginning to end, he only used a hidden weapon once and exchanged blows with Lu Chen twice. His record was not as good as Fei Bin's—at least Fei Bin fought Lu Chen for three hundred moves, didn't he?

Meanwhile, Lu Bai was unaware that Ding Mian was dead.

While Ding Mian ordered the siege, he also mingled among the disciples, waiting for an opportunity to launch a sneak attack on Lu Chen.

Lu Bai then leaped to the foot of the tree, his tall, thin figure soaring into the sky as he tried to grab Huang Rong, who was hiding in the tree.

Even at this point, he still did not think the little demoness posed any threat.

According to intelligence reports, the little vixen who was inseparable from Lu Chen was only about sixteen or seventeen years old.

Even if Dongfang Bubai personally cultivated and the entire Demonic Sect mobilized its resources, it would be a miracle if they could cultivate a peerless genius like Lu Chen, who at the age of eighteen or nineteen could repel Ding Mian and kill Fei Bin with his sword. How could they possibly cultivate another young female master like Lu Chen?

Lu Bai did not regard Huang Rong as a formidable rival.

However, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances, they needed to keep her under control and coerce Lu Chen.

Just as he leaped into the air, several hidden weapons were shot down from above.

Lu Bai unleashed a series of palm strikes, using his powerful palm force to deflect the hidden weapons. He was about to mock them as mere child's play when a long whip flew from above. The tip of the whip, inlaid with a thin steel cone, was like a serpent, whistling and flickering, creating afterimages that seemed to envelop half of Lu Bai's body like a net.

Lu Bai was shocked, not expecting that the little demoness would have such a high level of skill with a long whip. He slapped his palms repeatedly, barely managing to resist the whip's repeated stabs, but with nowhere to gain leverage in the air, he could only fall helplessly after exhausting his true energy.

As it fell, the long whip continued to pursue, twisting and turning like a living thing, its steel spikes stabbing repeatedly at the tip.

With nowhere to put leverage on his feet, Lu Bai was unable to use his movement techniques to dodge. In a moment of carelessness, as he struck out with his palm to block, the steel spike at the tip of the whip pierced his left elbow at the Quchi acupoint. His entire forearm instantly lost its strength and drooped limply.

As Lu Bai finally landed back on the ground, his feet firmly planted on solid ground, before he could even catch his breath, a graceful figure leaped through the air and pounced upon him, her long whip flicking and creating a series of afterimages as she attacked him relentlessly.

Huang Rong rarely takes action.

But that doesn't mean she's not strong.

She had, after all, eaten the flesh of the Bodhi snake, shared the blood of the precious snake with Lu Chen, and practiced Lu Chen's improved version of the Yi Jin Duan Gu Pian "Old Man's Fist." The martial arts she practiced were either from the Five Great Masters or the Nine Yin Manual.

With her martial arts skills, even if she's not as good as the top players in the world of martial arts, she has the advantage of location and a superior position. Taking down a careless and overconfident Songshan Taibao would be a piece of cake for her.

On Lu Chen's side.

The disciples of Songshan had already suffered heavy casualties, and with Ding Mian's death, the remaining disciples' fighting spirit collapsed, and they scattered and fled.

With their lightness skills, how could they possibly escape Lu Chen's pursuit?

When the last Songshan disciple was struck down by Lu Chen's sword, Lu Bai was also strangled by Huang Rong's whip.

"Wait, my surname is also Lu..."

Before Lu Bai could finish speaking, Huang Rong flicked her wrist, and with a snap, her whip broke his neck.

The task force tasked with annihilating the Songshan Sect was thus completely wiped out.
