The Smiling, Proud Wanderer, becoming a disciple of Yue Buqun.

Chapter 301: Killing the Four Protectors Alone

The human body has eleven muscle groups, and leg muscles account for 76% of the body's total muscle mass, which is more than three times the number of upper limb muscles. The power of the legs is far greater than that of the fists.

As the saying goes, hands are like two doors, but it's the legs that truly make a difference.

Human strength is almost entirely determined by the legs.

For a top-tier fighter like Jiang Ning, who has extensive practical experience, using his legs can often have unexpected effects.

Having killed one and crippled another, the four bodyguards were now completely outmatched in their battle against Jiang Ning.

The remaining two stood together, facing Jiang Ning as if they were facing a formidable enemy, their eyes filled with apprehension.

"hehe."

Jiang Ning looked at them with a smile on his face, casually swung his hands to loosen his arms, and the next second he unleashed his full speed, sending pebbles flying as he hurtled towards the two opposite him like a cannonball.

"kill!"

A Taishan disciple was fighting a Taishan disciple dressed in mourning clothes. Veins bulged on his forehead, and he looked fierce.

The Taishan disciples on the other side parried repeatedly, but their momentum was much weaker than that of their opponents.

"Traitor who defected to the Songshan Sect, today I will cleanse the sect of its evils!"

The Taishan disciple had a fierce expression, attacked with extreme brutality, and kept cursing.

The difference in momentum between the two sides is enormous.

In a real battle, when the two sides are evenly matched, sometimes momentum can determine the outcome of the fight.

The brave will prevail when paths cross. That's the principle.

"what!"

The sword in the disciple's hand was knocked away, and the next second, a flash of light appeared, revealing a line of blood on his neck.

The Taishan disciples opposite glanced coldly at the corpse, then turned and charged at the others.

call out!

Tianmen Daoist turned his sword to the left and thrust it towards Tianxin's lower abdomen.

Upon seeing this out of the corner of his eye, Tianxin quickly retreated, and Tianmen Daoist swiftly followed, his sword curving to the right.

Tianxin's face turned pale, and she hurriedly tried to dodge. However, Tianmen Daoist's swords were faster and more urgent with each strike, making it increasingly difficult for Tianxin to defend herself.

The Taoist of Tianmen is now using the Eighteen Bends of Mount Tai from the Mount Tai Sword Technique.

This sword technique was created by a master from Mount Tai based on his inspiration from the winding terrain of the Eighteen Bends of Mount Tai. He incorporated the terrain into the sword technique, with the body moving in sync with the sword. With each turn and return, the sword technique became increasingly ruthless.

Faced with this sword move, Daoist Tianxin was unable to parry and could only retreat repeatedly.

At this moment, there were corpses lying around the two of them, including the corpses of Daoist Tianqi and Daoist Tianyi.

After a fierce battle, the experts of the Tian generation on Tianxin Daoren's side gradually died at the hands of Tianmen Daoren, and now only Tianxin Daoren remains.

"Tianmen, you slaughtered your teachers and harmed your fellow disciples. When you reach the afterlife, I'll see how you face your ancestors!"

Taoist Tianxin shouted sternly.

The two have been fighting for so long that Tianxin Daoist is finding it increasingly difficult to hold his own against Tianmen Daoist due to the deaths of his junior brothers.

Both were disciples of Mount Tai and used the Mount Tai sword technique, but Tianmen Daoist's swordsmanship was more advanced than Tianxin's, and Tianxin was already struggling to defend himself.

Tianmen Daoist's face was extremely cold, and he didn't say a word.

call out!call out!call out!

Tianmen Daoist danced with his sword, countless sword energies enveloping Tianxin Daoist's chest.

Cold sweat streamed down Tianxin Daoist's temples, and his face was extremely pale. Upon seeing the sword technique used by Tianmen Daoist, his expression became even more unpleasant.

The Tianmen Taoist is now using the Seven Stars Falling from the Sky technique from the Mount Tai Swordplay. This move is quite exquisite and is considered extremely profound even within the Mount Tai Swordplay.

At this moment, the sword energy of Tianmen Daoist, though seemingly chaotic, had already enveloped seven acupoints on his chest. This was the first attack of Seven Stars Falling from the Sky, and the real killing move was yet to come.

Tianxin Daoist was also a disciple of Mount Tai and knew the power of this sword technique. When he saw Tianmen Daoist using it, his expression changed drastically. He didn't dare to delay and immediately leaped backward.

Tianmen Daoist thrust his sword, seemingly missing its mark, but in reality, the tip of the sword closely followed Tianxin's figure.

Tianxin Daoist leaped back and landed, his chest no longer enveloped by the sword energy, but his mind was tense to the extreme.

There are two variations of Seven Stars Falling from the Sky. The first attack is when Tianmen Daoist used sword energy to cover seven acupoints on his chest, and then pierced his chest with a sword. Even if someone who recognizes this move immediately retreats, they can only dodge the first variation. The second variation of Seven Stars Falling from the Sky follows closely behind.

The second variation consists of three sword strikes, each faster than the last. If one is even slightly careless, one will die from these three strikes as well.

Tianxin Daoist was fully focused on preparing to deal with the next three swords, and had even raised his sword to block Tianmen Daoist's attack. But the next second, Tianmen Daoist's attack made him open his eyes wide.

wrong!

It's not like seven stars falling from the sky!

Tianmen Daoist thrust his sword forward, his swordsmanship ancient and simple, seemingly able to block it with ease, but Tianxin Daoist was already pale when he saw this sword.

This is the Five Great Doctors Sword!

puff.

With a soft sound, the sword of the Heavenly Gate Taoist pierced into Tianxin's body.

Upon seeing this sword, Daoist Tianxin was utterly despondent.

He was wrong; his prediction was incorrect.

Clang!

The Taoist of Tianmen sheathed his sword, and Tianxin collapsed to the ground, unable to rise.

At this moment, Tianxin's eyes gradually lost focus, but she kept staring intently in the direction of Tianmen Daoist.

"why?"

Tianxin didn't ask a specific question, but Tianmen Daoist knew what he was going to say.

"The way of using the sword lies in flexibility; if you are bound by sword moves, you will never break through the limits of the way of the sword."

Tianmen Daoist looked at him calmly: "This is what Sect Leader Yue taught me."

Tianxin was stunned upon hearing this, and her body seemed to lose all strength. She lay on the ground, quietly looking at the sky, letting the life within her flow away.

After a while.

Tianxin.

dead.

The Taoist priest from Tianmen turned and left.

While at Mount Hua, Yue Buqun passed on the lost sword techniques of the Taishan School to him. In the following days, Tianmen Daoist and Yue Buqun and other masters discussed sword techniques and exchanged sword moves.

Yue Buqun shared his insights and experiences with Tianmen Daoren without holding anything back.

In fact, just like the Huashan Sect in the past, the Taishan Sect and the Hengshan Sect practiced swordsmanship in a very rigid way. They would only follow the sword techniques and would not be flexible. For example, when Tianmen Daoren used the Seven Stars Falling from the Sky technique, if the enemy dodged the first change, Tianmen Daoren would definitely use the second change. Even if the opponent knew the sword move, he would still use it. He would not change his sword move immediately like he does now.

It was precisely because of this that Daoist Tianxin misjudged Daoist Tianmen's sword moves and was defeated. This unexpected turn of events puzzled Tianxin, which is why he asked why before he died.

Inside the hall.

Three bodies lay on the ground: one headless, one with its neck slit, and another with both arms missing and a large cave-in in its chest—a truly gruesome death.

"Ho...ho..."

One man, his body hunched over and panting heavily, stood with his sword planted on the ground, looking at Jiang Ning not far away.

At this point, he was at his last gasp. His internal energy had been completely depleted, and his remaining strength was insufficient to support him standing. He could only barely stay upright by relying on the sword in his hand to keep from falling.

Of the four bodyguards of Songshan, only he remained.

The bodyguard's hair was disheveled, and blood flowing from his forehead blurred his vision as it flowed into his eyes, making Jiang Ning appear as if stained with blood.

Jiangning has made a move.

The wind was approaching.

The bodyguard's blurred vision made it impossible for him to see Jiang Ning's figure clearly, but the sense of danger he felt made him instinctively raise his sword.

next second.

With a clang, the sound of the sword hitting the ground was heard.

The gangster's vision was reversed, and the world seemed to turn upside down in his eyes. Before he knew what was happening, he saw his own corpse in his peripheral vision.

thump!

The body fell to the ground.

Jiang Ning stared expressionlessly at the four corpses in the hall, took out a piece of cloth from his bosom, wrapped it around the hilt of his sword, and wiped away the bloodstains.

Jiang Ning turned and walked out of the hall, casually tossing the cloth in his hand, which landed not far from the head.

The head and eyes were wide open, and the gaze fell directly on the blood-stained white cloth.

Chapter 302: The Situation is Set

Jiang Ning stepped outside the palace and found a pile of corpses on the ground.

At this moment, hundreds of people outside the hall were fighting each other, and at least a hundred corpses had been left on the ground, belonging to both sides.

"Huh? Why are you out here?"

At this moment, Tianmen Daoist's surprised voice rang out.

After killing Tianxin, Tianmen Daoist planned to enter the hall to support Jiang Ning, but as soon as he reached the hall entrance, Jiang Ning's figure had already walked out.

"Uncle-Master".

Jiang Ning looked at him.

Tianmen Daoist looked at Jiang Ning with suspicion and asked, "Where are Zhong Zhen and the others?"

Jiang Ning said, "They are already dead."
