Martial Arts Crossover: My Master is Huang Rong

"Senior Feng, you flatter me. I am Lin Xuan, and I greet you."

"Lin Xuan?"

Upon hearing the name, Feng Qingyang was first taken aback, then his eyes lit up with a sudden realization.

"So you are Lin Xuan! The young hero who single-handedly held off the Mongol army at the gates of Xiangyang! Hahaha, no wonder, no wonder you have such unfathomable cultivation at such a young age! You truly live up to your reputation and are extraordinary!"

He stroked his gray beard, his eyes filled with admiration and curiosity as he looked at Lin Xuan.

"However, I have long since retired from worldly affairs and have never met you before. Why have you followed this old man all this way? And from where have you heard of my name?"

This was what he was most curious about. No one on Mount Hua should know of his existence. How did this young man find out?

Lin Xuan smiled without saying a word, his smile carrying a hint of mystery.

"How I learned your name, senior, is actually unimportant." He raised his head, his gaze fixed intently on Feng Qingyang, and said, word by word, "I have taken the liberty of following you here today for only one thing—"

"I want to see for myself the unparalleled Dugu Nine Swords of the old master!"

Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyang's expression instantly changed!

That aloof and masterly demeanor vanished in an instant, replaced by utter shock and vigilance! His eyes narrowed sharply, and two beams of light, as if they were tangible, shot out, locking onto Lin Xuan!

"Where...where did you learn about the Dugu Nine Swords?"

His voice had taken on an unprecedented solemnity.

The Nine Swords of Dugu were created by the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai and are the core secret of his lineage!

This name has been extinct for decades!

Who exactly is this young man in front of me?!

Facing Feng Qingyang's piercing gaze, Lin Xuan remained calm and composed.

Instead of answering, he made an even more groundbreaking suggestion.

"How I know this is not important. Let's settle this with our swords."

He pointed at Feng Qingyang, then at himself, his smile growing even wider.

"Senior Feng, why not draw your sword and teach this junior a lesson?"

"If you win, senior, I will tell you everything I know, in its entirety."

Feng Qingyang was stunned.

He never expected that the other party would offer such an outrageously absurd suggestion.

Use the Dugu Nine Swords to defeat him, and then get an answer in return?

Is this kid crazy, or... extremely confident?

After a brief moment of shock, an even stronger emotion surged uncontrollably from the depths of Feng Qingyang's heart!

That wasn't anger, but... excitement!

It's an extreme thrill, like meeting a worthy opponent or a formidable opponent!

Today, he sensed an unfathomable, surging aura emanating from the young man before him! That power was strong, pure, and even subtly superior to his own!

This young man not only knew about the Dugu Nine Swords, but even specifically asked to challenge it!

"Hahaha...hahahahahaha!"

A burst of hearty laughter suddenly rang out in the empty sky above the Cliff of Contemplation, shaking the rocks and causing the sea of ​​clouds to churn!

"Well done! Lin Xuan is truly remarkable!"

Feng Qingyang laughed until tears streamed down his face, his whole body radiating an unprecedented fighting spirit!

"Rumors circulate that you performed countless extraordinary feats at the foot of Xiangyang. I originally thought those were mostly exaggerations, but I never imagined that your courage and boldness would surpass those rumors by tenfold!"

"You want to witness the Dugu Nine Swords? Very well! Since you have the guts, I will grant your wish!"

He was also a martial arts enthusiast. Upon seeing such a talented junior as Lin Xuan and feeling the vast and unparalleled aura emanating from him, his desire for battle was completely ignited!

Wouldn't it be wonderful to have a friendly exchange?!

"bring it on!"

Feng Qingyang let out a long laugh.

Chapter 117: One Force Breaks All Laws

At the summit of the Cliff of Contemplation, winds and clouds gather.

Feng Qingyang casually broke off a branch of moderate thickness and held it across his chest.

He clearly had no sword in his hand, but the moment he struck this pose, his entire being transformed into a peerless sword, its sharpness already fully revealed, even though it was still sheathed!

That incomparably sharp and all-powerful sword intent soared into the sky, causing the wind and clouds to change color!

His cloudy old eyes, however, burst forth with an unprecedentedly brilliant light.

His aura reached its peak at this moment, his robes fluttering and rustling even without wind, as if he had merged with the vast天地 (heaven and earth).

What he held in his hand was clearly just a fragile, withered branch, but in Lin Xuan's perception, it was an invincible, unbreakable sword.

"You go first."

Feng Qingyang's voice, carrying the air of a transcendent master, calmly echoed on the cliff.

This is not merely a sign of respect from a senior, but also stems from absolute confidence in one's own swordsmanship.

"it is good."

Lin Xuan responded readily.

He knew very well that against an opponent like Feng Qingyang, any fancy starting moves were superfluous.

So he stopped hiding it.

There were no earth-shattering phenomena, no dazzling and spectacular moves.

Lin Xuan simply took a step forward and then, in an unremarkable manner, pushed out a palm strike.

This palm strike was utterly simple and unadorned, like the most basic pushing palm movement of an ordinary martial artist. However, the instant his palm was extended, the air on the entire Cliff of Contemplation seemed to freeze!

An invisible yet immense pressure, like a flood bursting its banks, swept towards Feng Qingyang with overwhelming force!

This was a palm strike that relied purely on brute force to overpower the opponent!

Lin Xuan concentrated his profound true energy into his palm without reservation, transforming it into the most direct and violent force, and ruthlessly pressed down!

Before this palm strike, any exquisite technique becomes meaningless.

It's like a towering mountain that's about to topple over; the only thing you can do is smash it head-on, or... be crushed into dust by it!

"Impressive internal strength!"

A fierce light burst forth in Feng Qingyang's eyes!

The sheer power and purity of that initial palm strike exceeded his wildest imagination!

Having lived for so long, he had seen countless masters, but those whose inner strength could rival that of the young man before him were few and far between, in fact, practically nonexistent!

Faced with this overwhelming palm strike, Feng Qingyang neither dodged nor avoided it, his expression remaining unchanged.

The branch in his hand moved.

There were no complicated movements, just a gentle forward tap.

That seemingly fragile, withered branch seemed to come alive, piercing with unparalleled precision into the most crucial and weakest point of that torrent of palm force!

It is the eighth move after the final move of the Dugu Nine Swords – the Qi-Breaking Move!

This technique is specifically designed to break through the internal strength and true energy of all schools and sects under heaven.

"laugh--"

A faint, almost inaudible sound came from behind.

That withered branch, like a red-hot iron probing into the snow, silently dismantled the most crucial structure in Lin Xuan's palm strike.

The originally ferocious palm force, under this strike, was like a punctured balloon, instantly losing all its power and turning into scattered gusts of wind, causing the rocks on the cliff to tumble, but it could no longer pose any threat to Feng Qingyang.

One palm strike, one sword strike.

A clash of pure power and skill.

have equal shares!

"The Nine Swords of Dugu truly live up to its reputation." Lin Xuan slowly withdrew his hand, his eyes filled with curiosity and admiration.

His palm strike was enough to throw any top martial arts master into disarray, or even seriously injure them on the spot.

But Feng Qingyang, with just a single branch, so effortlessly broke through it.

This completely ignited his competitive spirit.

He was eager to know the limits of the Dugu Nine Swords, which were said to be able to "break through all martial arts under heaven".

"Senior, take this!"

Before he finished speaking, Lin Xuan moved.

He no longer simply used his internal strength to suppress others, but instead displayed all the martial arts techniques he had learned.

With his left hand, he formed the Orchid-like Acupoint-Strike Technique, his fingers flickering and nimble, aiming directly at Feng Qingyang's vital acupoints; with his right hand, he transformed into the Heart-Shattering Palm, the palm wind fierce and the palm shadows numerous, combining both strength and gentleness.

Upon seeing this, Feng Qingyang flicked the branch in his hand, and his sword stance suddenly changed.

Faced with the exquisite acupoint striking of the Orchid Flicking Acupoint Hand, he used the "Breaking Rope Style," which is specifically designed to counter soft weapons and kung fu such as whips, ropes, and the White Rainbow Palm.

The tree branch in his hand seemed to transform into an invisible shield, blocking all the finger shadows from reaching him, remaining unmoved no matter how they changed.

Faced with the fierce palm strike of the Heart-Shattering Palm, he used the "Breaking Palm Style".

Like venomous snakes emerging from their holes, the tree branches always managed to strike the crucial point in Lin Xuan's power flow just as he was about to unleash his palm strike, forcing him to change his move midway and causing his palm strike to naturally dissipate into nothingness.

Seeing this, Lin Xuan changed his moves again.

He unleashed a flurry of kicks, his legs creating a series of cunning and ruthless shadows. Immediately afterwards, he formed claws with both hands, employing the Shaolin Dragon Claw technique, the claws whistling fiercely, almost tearing the air apart.

"Whip-Breaking Style!"

Feng Qingyang laughed loudly, and the tree branches transformed into countless sword shadows, arriving first after being attacked later, completely enveloping all of Lin Xuan's leg shadows.

The exquisite nature of his swordplay lies in his use of the "whip-breaking" technique to counter unpredictable leg techniques.

Immediately, the "Broken Blade Style" was unleashed, the tree branch moving with wide, powerful, and agile movements, precisely meeting Lin Xuan's Dragon Claw Hand. Each strike landed on the weakest point of the claw's power, forcing Lin Xuan to withdraw his claw to defend himself.

In an instant, figures flew about on the Cliff of Contemplation, their energy radiating in all directions.

Lin Xuan is like a treasure trove of martial arts; every martial art, whether ordinary or profound, is unleashed in his hands with power far exceeding its original level.

He not only knows how to do it, but he is an expert. Every move and every technique seems to have been honed over decades, with perfect skill and flawless execution.

However, no matter how exquisite his martial arts were, the branch in Feng Qingyang's hand always managed to strike first, breaking through his defenses in an unbelievable way and with the simplest and most direct method.

The Dugu Nine Swords truly live up to their name of "breaking through all laws"!

The two fought faster and faster, and became increasingly alarmed!

Feng Qingyang was astonished by Lin Xuan's extensive knowledge.

Just who is this kid?

How could he possibly know so many martial arts styles? And have mastered each one to such a profound level!

Even if all the martial arts manuals in the world were placed in front of him, at his age, it would be impossible for him to master them all!

What terrified him even more was Lin Xuan's internal strength.

The two had exchanged more than a hundred blows. Feng Qingyang himself felt his breathing becoming somewhat erratic, but Lin Xuan on the other side remained calm and composed, his breathing deep and steady.

His internal energy was like an inexhaustible well, vast and boundless, endlessly regenerating, without the slightest sense of fatigue.

Is this...is this even human?! This is simply a monster!

Lin Xuan, on the other hand, was astonished by the profound mystery of the Dugu Nine Swords.

His top-tier martial arts skills can be said to be unparalleled in the world.

Whether it's the Lesser Formless Skill that can simulate all martial arts, the Great Shift of Heaven and Earth that can shift acupoints and change positions, the Star Shift that can "use the opponent's methods against them," or even the all-encompassing Nine Yin Manual, each one is a top-tier martial art that can drive the martial arts world crazy.

However, in the face of the Dugu Nine Swords, these martial arts seemed to have lost their brilliance.
