152: The wonder of the seven-string invisible sword

After a moment, Dan Qingsheng spoke: "Logically speaking, we do not care about the life or death of Ren Woxing, nor do we wish for Ren Woxing to return to the Jianghu. However, as the four of us bear this responsibility, if we were to easily let Headmaster Yue inside, and it were to spread, I fear the reputation of the four of us would become a laughingstock."

"How about this? We have long heard that the Mount Hua Swordplay is peerless. The four of us will spar with Headmaster Yue one by one. If, in the way of swordplay, Headmaster Yue can defeat the four of us, we shall personally lead Headmaster Yue inside."

"Dan Qingsheng's words are reasonable; I agree."

Tu Biweng also nodded immediately.

"But only swordplay; Headmaster Yue must not use Internal Skill to suppress others."

Hei Baizi added immediately.

He had no other way now and could only agree, but he did not forget to impose restrictions.

After all, Yue Buqun was of the Qi Sect of Mount Hua and was skilled at using Qi to control swords; his sword Moves were not as exquisite as those of the Sword Sect.

In this way, they still had a chance to turn defeat into victory.

"I wonder what Headmaster Yue thinks?"

Huang Zhonggong also looked at Ning Yuan, "If Headmaster Yue does not agree, then the four of us can only do our best to guard this place."

Huang Zhonggong was actually not afraid of Yue Buqun.

Although Yue Buqun had quite a reputation, the four of them were no ordinary people and each possessed unique skills.

It was just because the other party knew about Ren Woxing that they were indeed worried about Ren Woxing being rescued, so they were half-reluctant.

This way, if Dongfang Bubai asked, or Ren Woxing's confidants learned that Ren Woxing had been killed, they could also make excuses.

Proving that they had tried to stop the other party and did not simply let him through.

In this way, neither Dongfang Bubai nor Ren Woxing's confidants could find fault with them.

Self-preservation.

Ning Yuan's eyes flashed, then he smiled and said: "Since that is the case, let Yue learn from the four of you."

The five of them then entered Plum Manor.

The first to Move was Tu Biweng.

"Headmaster Yue, please offer your guidance!" Tu Biweng said with a fist salute.

A thick, long brush swirled in his hand.

"You make the first Move. If I were to make the first Move, I fear you wouldn't even have the chance to attack."

Ning Yuan said with his hands behind his back, head held high.

"Headmaster Yue, you have a big mouth!"

Tu Biweng's face turned cold, feeling annoyed.

Although the name of the Gentleman Sword was famous, he, Tu Biweng, was not an ordinary person in the Jianghu either; such talk was too arrogant.

But Tu Biweng could not say much, only snorted coldly, and made up his mind to use all his strength to make the Gentleman Sword look bad.

As soon as he attacked, it was his signature skill, the Twenty-Eight Stone Drum Acupoint-Striking Brush.

His attacks were like splashing ink; the brush tip looked soft but was actually sharp.

"Is this swordplay or calligraphy?"

Ning Yuan drew his sword casually, "I think you should go back to being a school teacher; this Jianghu is not for you!"

The moment Ning Yuan's long sword left its sheath, he swung it and broke Tu Biweng's seemingly stunning and profound swordplay.

The long sword rested on Tu Biweng's shoulder.

It was only after it ended that Dan Qingsheng reacted, muttering in a daze, "I lost!"

"Why so fast? Can I not even block one of his sword Moves?"

Tu Biweng felt a major blow.

He felt disheartened.

He knew Yue Buqun was strong, but no matter what, he had never thought he would be unable to block even one sword Move from the other party.

Huang Zhonggong, Hei Baizi, and Dan Qingsheng also had grave expressions at this moment.

"What powerful swordplay. It is said that the Gentleman Sword is the Sect Head of the Qi Sect, and the Qi Sect is good at using Qi to control swords. I never thought that this Qi Sect Head's swordplay would be so good that it might even rival that of the Sword Sect."

Huang Zhonggong muttered to himself.

"I wonder who is next?"

Ning Yuan's gaze fell on the three of them.

With his current strength, even just in swordplay, he was not comparable to second or third-rate figures.

Huang Zhonggong and the other two looked at each other; although they feared the other's strength, surrendering like this was even more shameful.

Dan Qingsheng stepped forward.

He drew a long sword and said solemnly: "Dan Qingsheng, please offer your guidance, Headmaster Yue!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Dan Qingsheng used the Splashing Ink Swordplay; his swordplay was like painting, smooth and flowing.

Dense Sword Qi came rushing towards him.

"The swordplay is beautiful, but unfortunately, a sword is a weapon of violence, meant for killing, not for painting."

Ning Yuan casually parried Dan Qingsheng's sword Moves, then turned and thrust, touching Dan Qingsheng's chest, "Your Excellency is good at painting; you might as well retire from the Jianghu as well."

Ning Yuan exerted a light burst of Internal Energy, and Dan Qingsheng was forced back several steps.

Dan Qingsheng's face changed several times, and he retreated with a fist salute.

Hei Baizi on the side couldn't help but swallow; one Move, still one Move.

Tu Biweng was one Move, and Dan Qingsheng was also one Move.

Could he last two Moves?

Hei Baizi looked hesitant, feeling timid, and unwilling to go up and humiliate himself.

However, Ning Yuan did not give him a chance, "Your Excellency, please offer your guidance."

Ning Yuan attacked directly without saying a word. Seeing this, Hei Baizi retreated in a hurry, and while waving his hands, chess pieces were shot out one by one.

Ning Yuan's long sword danced, and the chess pieces were shattered one by one, quickly rushing in front of Hei Baizi.

"I admit defeat."

Before Ning Yuan's sword tip could fall, Hei Baizi immediately raised his hands to surrender.

Huang Zhonggong on the side suddenly plucked the strings; the sound of the zither came, and Ning Yuan immediately felt his True Qi stagnate within his body, then he turned back and landed.

"I have long heard that Huang Zhonggong's Seven-String Formless Sword is the most wondrous swordplay in the world, comparable to Mo Da of Mount Heng. Hearing it today, it truly lives up to its reputation."

Ning Yuan praised.

This Seven-String Formless Sword itself does not injure enemies with the sound of the zither, but it can disturb the enemy's mind through the zither sound infused with Internal Energy, causing the enemy's Internal Energy to resonate with the zither sound and be affected by it.

The stronger the opponent's Internal Energy, the more intense the reaction to the zither sound.

"I heard that Huang Zhonggong's most powerful Move is called 'Six Ding Opening Mountain'. I wonder if I might have the Opportunity to experience it?"

Ning Yuan's gaze fell on Huang Zhonggong.

Huang Zhonggong's face changed slightly, then he smiled and said: "Since Headmaster Yue is interested, I will naturally not hesitate to offer my guidance."

Huang Zhonggong also got a temper.

The opponent had defeated three of his brothers, each time in one Move; if he did not show some real skill, he feared he would be looked down upon by the opponent.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhonggong suddenly sat cross-legged and plucked the strings with both hands.

The crisp sound of the zither immediately resounded throughout the courtyard.

Invisible sound waves attacked, and Ning Yuan immediately felt the restlessness of the True Qi in his body.

It ran according to the melody of the zither.

Ning Yuan circulated his Internal Energy to resist the influence of the zither sound.

"Truly miraculous, but this is not enough."

Ning Yuan spoke again, remaining calm.

Huang Zhonggong's face sank slightly, and he plucked the strings again, "Headmaster Yue, be careful!"

As Huang Zhonggong frantically plucked the strings, a melody that was sometimes fast and sometimes slow followed.

Ning Yuan only felt the True Qi in his body start to become restless, its running speed suddenly accelerating, and then suddenly slowing down.

This contrast made people want to vomit blood.

Especially since this zither sound had a greater impact on people with deep Internal Energy.

Conversely, for people without Internal Energy, it was like a breeze, just a pleasant piece of music, with no impact at all.

And Ning Yuan's current cultivation, in the world of Smiling Proud Wanderer, was enough to be ranked in the top five.

Naturally, he would be affected by the zither sound.

However, it was only an effect.

Ning Yuan circulated his cultivation to suppress the restlessness.

At this moment, the Huang Zhonggong opposite had already begun to continuously increase his Internal Energy.

Seeing the Ning Yuan opposite still moving freely, as if unaffected, Huang Zhonggong couldn't help but shout and unleash his strongest divine skill.

"Six Ding Opening Mountain!"

Huang Zhonggong shouted loudly, his power fully poured into the strings, the seven strings sounding together, his Internal Energy pushed to the peak.

This was his pinnacle Move.

It was also the Move he was most proud of.

He was confident that even Ren Woxing, or even Dongfang Bubai, would be affected by this Move of his.

Especially since Ren Woxing had deep Internal Energy and absorbed others' Internal Energy, his Internal Energy was not pure, making him the easiest to be affected by his zither sound.

Causing internal breath disorder and mutual conflict.

As the seven strings played together, the deafening zither sound suddenly filled his ears.

The True Qi in Ning Yuan's body was also completely affected, starting to rampage.

If it were an ordinary person, they would have already suffered Qi Deviation and died from vomiting blood.

However, Ning Yuan was intentionally experiencing Huang Zhonggong's unique skill, so he was not panicked; he circulated the Bei Ming Divine Skill, immediately absorbing all the restless True Qi into his Dantian.

The strength of the Bei Ming Divine Skill was far beyond ordinary martial arts.

"If it were the Zixia Divine Skill, it would definitely be affected and difficult to suppress; even the Star Absorbing Skill, once affected, would easily lead to Qi Deviation, especially since different True Qi would conflict with each other, which might cause the person cultivating the Star Absorbing Skill to be seriously injured, or even die miserably."

"Unfortunately, my Bei Ming Divine Skill does not fear these Moves."

Just when Ning Yuan was deep in thought, frozen in place, Hei Baizi behind him suddenly flickered his eyes, then gritted his teeth, and suddenly raised his hand to shoot a dozen chess pieces at Ning Yuan's back.

"Good Opportunity! At this moment he is affected by the eldest brother's Six Ding Opening Mountain and cannot use Internal Energy; this is the perfect time to kill him."

Hei Baizi shouted loudly.

He was still plotting for Ren Woxing's Star Absorbing Skill, so naturally, he was unwilling for Ren Woxing to be killed by Yue Buqun like this.

Now that he saw the Opportunity, he couldn't help but sneak an attack.

Hei Baizi's sudden sneak attack made Tu Biweng and Dan Qingsheng's expressions change, showing astonishment.

"Hei Baizi, what are you doing?"

Dan Qingsheng asked, but it was too late to stop him.

Facing the sneak attack, Ning Yuan snorted coldly, released his True Qi, and the dozens of chess pieces exploded; the next moment, Ning Yuan absorbed with his backhand, and Hei Baizi was immediately pulled uncontrollably to Ning Yuan's side.

"I only wanted to spar with you fairly and handle this matter peacefully, but I didn't expect you to shoot hidden arrows; I cannot spare you."

Ning Yuan grabbed Hei Baizi's neck and, saying this, was about to raise his palm to strike Hei Baizi's crown.

"Headmaster Yue, wait!"

Huang Zhonggong spoke up immediately, rushing forward, "Headmaster Yue, Hei Baizi was momentarily possessed; I hope Headmaster Yue will spare his life."

"Spare him?"

Ning Yuan sneered, "Shooting hidden arrows, despicable and shameless; how can I spare him?"

"Hero Yue, it was my impulsive moment; I beg Hero Yue to spare my life, I am willing to immediately take Headmaster Yue down to remove the demon."

Hei Baizi also shouted immediately.

Seeing this, Ning Yuan pondered for a moment before snorting coldly and loosening his grip on Hei Baizi's neck, "Then I will give you a chance to redeem yourself. Take me down now, and I will spare you."

"If you few continue to cover things up and delay time, then do not blame Yue for being ruthless."

Ning Yuan said coldly.

The few people nodded in agreement immediately.
