Chapter 50: If the third place winner doesn’t come out, what can the common people do?
However, although it looked like a fight to the death, it was not really Xin Zhen's intention to die together.

Cong Buqi is a short man, so his arms are naturally short.

Xin Zhen was tall and naturally had long arms.

If Cong Buqi had not changed his tactics, Cong Buqi would have been stabbed first, but Xin Zhen might not have been stabbed either.

In panic, Cong Buqi rolled on the ground and rolled about a dozen feet away before he managed to escape, but it was already extremely dangerous.

Xin Zhen knew that even if he killed Cong Buqi with this tactic, Feng Buping would think he was cheating and would continue to pester him.

So Xin Zhen said, "Get up and continue fighting."

Cong Buqi was filled with even more shame and anger, and he rushed towards Xin Zhen with his sword.

Xin Zhen neither retreated nor gave in. He thrust his sword through the sword net and hit Cong Buqi's forehead.

Cong Buqi jumped up, and before his feet touched the ground, he realized that he was in danger, and hurriedly swung his sword to chop at Xin Zhen's long sword.

Xin Zhen had anticipated this move long ago. He sank the sword two feet down, turned his wrist, facing the opponent with the back of the sword, and then shook his arm violently. The back of the sword slapped Cong Buqi's body, knocking him away for several feet!
Cong Buqi stood up immediately after he landed on the ground, knowing that Xin Zhen was showing mercy, otherwise he would have been beheaded by this move.

Crane Hand Lu Bai was shocked to see this scene. It had been such a long time since they last saw each other, and yet this Xin Zhen seemed to have become much more powerful!

Cong Buqi is quite powerful, not much worse than his fourth junior brother Fei Bin, the Great Songyang Hand.

When at Liu Zhengfeng's house, Fei Bin was able to fight back and forth with Xin Zhen for a long time.

But now Xin Zhen subdued Cong Buqi with just one move, and his strength is no longer comparable to what it was before!
Feng Buping was greatly surprised, and then he was overjoyed.

Although Cong Buqi is not tall, there is no absolute relationship between the level of martial arts and stature.

Isn’t there a Qingcheng Sect leader named Yu Canghai in the martial arts world who is much shorter than him, but he is also the leader of a sect?

Although Cong Buqi is not as good as himself and Cheng Buyou, his strength is definitely a top-notch master in the world.

Facing this extremely young Junior Brother Xin, he couldn't even block a single move from him. It was really shocking!

Xin Zhen defeated Cong Buqi, and Feng Buping was not angry but happy: "Great, great! Hahaha, now that the Sword Sect has Junior Brother Xin, great success is imminent!"

Feng Buping shouted, "Junior Brother Cong, Junior Brother Cheng, come quickly and pay your respects to our Sword Sect's head junior brother!"

Cheng Buyou and Cong Buqi came over with a smile and greeted Xin Zhen: "Greetings, Master Junior Brother!"

Xin Zhen watched the three people acting with a smile, and then said: "Since you recognize me as the leader of the Sword Sect, I will give orders."

Feng Buping smiled and said, "Of course, Junior Brother, since you are the head of the sect, we will naturally listen to you."

Xin Zhen nodded and said, "Okay, from now on, our sect will not allow fellow disciples to kill each other, do evil, or do things that violate chivalry. Can you guys agree to this?"

Feng Buping nodded and said, "Of course it is so. Although we can be considered as abandoned disciples of Huashan in these years, we all consider ourselves as children of famous and upright sects, and we have never done anything that is against the will of heaven and earth."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "From now on, Huashan will be divided into two sects, one is the Sword Sect, the other is the Qi Sect. One Huashan, two expressions, all are from the same sect."

Feng Buping's expression changed, and he said, "Junior brother, what do you mean by this?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "The meaning is very clear. Huashan fellow disciples must not kill each other, so you don't have to go to Huashan. We in the Sword Sect will play by ourselves. If you want to travel the world, you can use the Sword Sect as your name." Cong Buqi said angrily, "Brother Xin, why are you coming back to this? Back then, the Qi Sect used despicable means to steal the orthodoxy of Huashan.

Now that we are stronger than them and with Alliance Leader Zuo in charge, it will be easy for us to regain the orthodoxy of the mountain sect. Why do we need to divide into different sects?

If this matter is not resolved now, there may be another situation of sword energy fighting in the future!"

Cheng Buyou, who had been silent the whole time, said, “Junior brother said that everything else is fine except this one.

Back then, the Qi Sect slaughtered so many of our elders and fellow disciples with despicable means. We endured it in silence for decades, living like dogs in the martial arts world. But now, you say you want to live in peace with them?
So are we just going to let go of all the suffering and grievances we've endured over the years?"

Xin Zhen nodded in understanding and said, "Since everyone has different opinions, then you can do as you please."

Feng Buping was speechless.

Cong Buqi said angrily: "Brother, since he claims to be of noble status and is unwilling to hang out with us, then why should we bother to curry favor with him?"

Lu Bai, the Crane Hand, who had remained silent after saying just two words at the beginning, suddenly said, "Brother Xin, I'd like to say a few words."

Lu Bai said: "The Sword Sect has indeed been treated unfairly over the past few decades, and we in Songshan have seen it.

Leader Zuo has always said that Huashan has been occupied by villains, resulting in Huashan's strength having hardly changed in the past few decades.

Look at what Yue Buqun and his wife have done over the years. In fact, Songshan, like Huashan, suffered heavy damage in the confrontation with the Ten Elders of the Demon Cult decades ago, and almost all the masters were lost in Songshan.

But under the leadership of Alliance Leader Zuo, Songshan not only has the Thirteen Guardians as its core combat force, but also many outstanding second-generation disciples.

Why is it that although Mount Huashan was also severely damaged and in decline, our Mount Songshan has been able to rise again so quickly?
It was because Alliance Leader Zuo was generous and made all thirteen sword techniques available to Songshan disciples to learn, and the same was true for internal energy techniques.

As long as the disciple has talent, he can learn it.

The Huashan Sect accepted several disciples, but except for one, Linghu Chong, who was somewhat famous, almost none of the other disciples became successful.

Why is this? It is because Yue Buqun is too selfish. Not only is he unwilling to share his sword skills with his disciples, he also keeps his internal energy skills hidden.

Up to now, only Yue Buqun himself knows the Huashan Zixia Heart Method, and even his wife Ning Zhongze has not learned it.

How can such a sect grow and develop?
Now Yue Buqun's selfishness has hindered the development of Huashan. If this continues, the Huashan Sect will soon decline completely and even find it difficult to gain a foothold among the Five Mountains Sword Sects.

And your Sword Sect is obviously full of talented people. Not only is there Senior Feng Qingyang who is still alive, but your generation also has you, Senior Brother Lin, Senior Brother Feng, Senior Brother Cheng, and Senior Brother Cong, all of whom are top-notch in the world.

With regard to this kind of high-end combat capability, even our Songshan cannot claim to be superior.

At a time like this, your Sword Sect should not be hiding its strength, but should come out and take over the Huashan Sect.

In this way, the strength of our Five Mountains Sword Sect will surely increase greatly, and the Huashan Sect will also regain its glory and become a first-class famous and upright sect in the world.

Brother Xin, you have outstanding abilities, both in martial arts and intelligence, and you are also talented.

If you were to become the head of Huashan, it would only take ten years instead of twenty years and Huashan would become the best in the world.

Leader Zuo said, if Xin Tanhua doesn't come out, what can we do about Huashan?
Therefore, Senior Brother Xin, you must come out and take charge of the situation. Don't let the world down!"
