Chapter 59

Xiao Ran's arrogant words left the scene deathly silent, and in an instant, everyone was in an uproar!

"This Huashan disciple is actually so arrogant?"

"He's simply out of control, treating the heroes of the world as nothing!"

"Huashan has had things too easy these past few years, leading to such arrogance among its disciples!"

"Who is this person? There doesn't seem to be anyone like him among the second-generation disciples of Huashan?"

Ning Zhongze and Linghu Chong exchanged bitter smiles. However, Linghu Chong had already known that his appointment as the leader of the martial arts alliance would not be smooth sailing. Although Xiao Ran's arrogance was not good, it was even more impossible to ascend to the position of martial arts leader without any conflict.

Although he also felt that Xiao Ran was too arrogant, he knew that Xiao Ran's martial arts were unmatched by few in the present day. The fact that Yue Buqun, with his great martial arts, could not even land a single move on Xiao Ran was clear proof!

At this moment, a hoarse voice spoke up. It was Lu Lianrong, the Golden-eyed Crow of Hengshan, who said, "This young hero is Xiao Ran, the youngest disciple of Sect Master Yue!

He received the true teachings of the great Feng Qingyang years ago, and his martial arts are extremely profound!"

He had once clung to Zuo Lengshan's leg, but after Yue Buqun became the leader of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, he feared that Yue Buqun would settle old scores, so he had always kept a low profile. Now, seeing an opportunity, he rushed to cling to Huashan's leg and vouch for Xiao Ran!

Yu Canghai did not want to personally step forward, as Xiao Ran was a junior. If he won, it would be expected, but if he lost, it would be a great embarrassment. However, he did not expect Xiao Ran to be a direct disciple of Feng Qingyang. This identity alone was enough to match him!

With so many people present, if he avoided the fight, the face of Qingcheng would be completely lost!

So he leaped onto the stage, drew his long sword, and said, "I am extremely admiring of the divine sword skills of Old Master Feng!

Let me see how much of his skills you have mastered!"

Xiao Ran chuckled, "Why would I need a sword against you?"

Yu Canghai was instantly enraged, his forehead veins bulging as he shouted, "Looking for death!"

With that, he unleashed the most powerful of the three major killing moves of the Qingcheng Sect, "Laojun Fuchen."

Yu Canghai was a renowned sword master of the present day. The fact that no one was willing to stand up for the Fuwei Escort Agency after he had slaughtered the entire family was a testament to his might!

Most people had never seen Yu Canghai in action and had already overestimated him as much as possible. However, when he drew his sword, they realized that their previous overestimation was still an underestimation of Yu Canghai's strength!

This sword seemed light and unassuming, with no flashy moves, but the follow-up moves were continuous, like silk and nets. Once caught by the sword, one would be like dust swept away by a broom, losing all ability to resist until death!

Xiao Ran indeed did not draw his sword. Instead, he flipped his right hand and pressed it toward the ever-changing sword light of Yu Canghai.

Seeing Xiao Ran so boldly use his bare hand against Yu Canghai's sword, the crowd let out a chorus of gasps!

Unexpectedly, the sword light that filled the sky disappeared instantly, as if it had all been an illusion. The crowd's vision blurred, and Xiao Ran's hand pressed onto Yu Canghai's sword!

Yu Canghai was greatly alarmed. He spun his sword to cut off Xiao Ran's fingers, but unexpectedly, a strange force emerged from Xiao Ran's hand. His long sword turned and cut toward his left hand, and the true qi he had attacked with was like a stone sinking into the sea.

Yu Canghai, being a renowned martial arts master, reacted quickly to this sudden change. He loosened his grip on his sword, which became rootless and lost its power. When it cut into his left hand, it only left a sword mark!

But at that moment, Xiao Ran's other hand had already struck quickly, pressing onto his dantian. He felt a familiar true qi from Xiao Ran's palm enter his body, breaking his dantian!

"What is this evil technique?"

Yu Canghai only had time to think this before he fainted. His dantian was destroyed, and even if he did not die, his martial arts were completely ruined!

Xiao Ran's ruthless move stunned all the martial arts practitioners. They did not understand what had happened, only seeing Xiao Ran press his hand on Yu Canghai's sword, and Yu Canghai cut himself. It was like sorcery!

Xiao Ran defeated Yu Canghai in one move, but he was somewhat displeased!

The move he used just now was a martial arts technique he had created using the Xingxi Dafa, Yijinjing, and his own Cuoxing Jue—Bu Kong Yin Yang Yin!

The inspiration for this martial arts technique came from the Immortal King Shi Zhixuan's Bu Si Fayan in the "Twin Dragons of the Tang Dynasty."

Using the Cuoxing Jue to change the direction and speed of the opponent's true qi.

Using the Yijinjing to control the opponent's true qi.

Using the Xingxi Dafa to absorb the opponent's true qi.

Using the Yijinjing to control the opponent's true qi.

Generally, he would first use the Yijinjing to deflect the opponent's true qi. If the opponent's true qi was too strong and pure to be deflected, the momentum of the deflected true qi would at least be weakened.

At this point, he would use the Xingxi Dafa to absorb the opponent's true qi. Even if the opponent's true qi was pure and could not be completely absorbed, the true qi that had been blocked twice would be further weakened.

Then, using the Yijinjing to control the opponent's true qi and the Cuoxing Jue to change the direction and speed of the true qi, he could make the opponent's true qi work for him. Based on the characteristics of the opponent's true qi, the Bu Kong Yin Yang Yin could be combined in countless ways!

Not only could it deflect the opponent's moves and true qi, using the opponent's true qi to attack them, but it could also absorb the opponent's true qi to replenish his own. Xiao Ran was confident that the power of his Bu Kong Yin Yang Yin was absolutely superior to the Bu Si Fayan!

However, since this was a martial arts technique he had just created, there were still some subtle aspects that had not been fully integrated, and he had not practiced it to perfection. Otherwise, Yu Canghai would not have had the chance to drop his sword and cut off his own hand!

In that case, Xiao Ran would not have needed to deliver that final palm strike and could have left Yu Canghai to Lin Pingzhi!

With just that one palm strike, the scene fell silent. There was no other reason; Yu Canghai had been defeated too quickly and too inexplicably. Only Fang Sheng, Linghu Chong, and Qingxu Daozhang had seen a hint of what had happened.

Fang Sheng thought, "This Xiao Ran's martial arts are truly formidable, with a hint of the Yijinjing.

Before his death, my senior brother entrusted the Yijinjing to Feng Qingyang, who passed it on to Linghu Chong. I did not expect Linghu Chong to pass it on to this Xiao Ran!

And this Xiao Ran has actually found a new way to change the meridians and acupoints, which is truly impressive!"

Qingxu Daozhang pondered, "The technique of borrowing force to strike back is truly marvelous, surpassing even our school's Tai Chi. Could it be the Heaven and Earth Shift of the Ming Sect from the previous dynasty?"

Linghu Chong also nodded in agreement, "This move has the shadow of the Xingxi Dafa. Xiao Ran has only had this technique for three days and has already created such a shocking martial arts technique. His talent far surpasses mine!"

Zhong Zhen was also greatly alarmed but did not back down. He stood up and pointed at Xiao Ran, "You actually disabled Yu Guanzhu's martial arts, how wicked..."

Xiao Ran waved his hand, "If Yu Canghai can slaughter my senior brother's entire family, why can't I disable his martial arts?

Don't talk so much. If you're not convinced, come and fight!"

Zhong Zhen coldly snorted and then made a gesture. Several of his fellow disciples stood up, a total of thirteen people. Among them were the thirteen elders of the Songshan Sect and some outstanding younger disciples!

These people moved like lightning, instantly rushing onto the stage!

Seeing their movements, some knowledgeable people gasped, "It's the Piyexian Sword Technique!"

"Songshan Sect has so many people practicing the Piyexian Sword Technique!"

"After Zuo Lengshan, they don't even care about their reputation?"

"They have all become eunuchs; Songshan is doomed to be childless and heirless!"

Zhong Zhen coldly snorted, "Can Yue Buqun solve the problems of the Piyexian Sword Technique?

My senior brother Zuo, although he made mistakes, was a genius. Before his death, he figured out how to solve the problems of the Piyexian Sword Technique."

He then said to Xiao Ran, "Boy, you said to come together!"

Thirteen first-rate experts of the Songshan Sect who had practiced the Piyexian Sword Technique were far stronger than the previous generation's thirteen elders!

They could almost overwhelm any martial arts sect, which was why Zhong Zhen had been continuously provoking!
