Chapter 93: Battle with Zuo Lengchan

Zuo Lengchan did not know the Dugu Nine Swords, but he was quite familiar with the sword techniques of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, including the Huashan Sword Technique.

When he saw Xin Zhen's Huashan swordsmanship, he knew that Xin Zhen's understanding of swordsmanship had reached the level of a martial arts master. He finally understood why the Thirteen Guardians had repeatedly found it difficult to defeat Xin Zhen, and even Junior Brother Lu had died under his sword.

But the stronger Xin Zhen became, the more Zuo Lengchan feared him, and the stronger his desire to kill Xin Zhen became.

After exchanging more than twenty moves, Zuo Lengchan suddenly raised the long sword in his right hand and struck out with his left palm. This palm covered the thirty-six vital points on Xin Zhen's upper body. If Xin Zhen dodges, he will be injured by the sword immediately.

Xin Zhen smiled upon seeing this, and stretched out his left palm to meet the palm launched by Zuo Lengchan. With a bang, the two palms collided, and both of them took a few steps back.

The Songshan School disciples who were watching were suddenly shocked.

It would be fine if it was just that his swordsmanship was inferior, as everyone knew that Xin Zhen's swordsmanship was extremely advanced, and he was from the Sword Sect which was said to be famous for its swordsmanship in Zhonghua Mountain. But how could his internal strength compare to that of the Sect Master!

But then Zuo Lengchan asked, "What kind of internal skills did you learn?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "The Huashan Purple Clouds Skill, Senior Brother Zuo's palm technique carries a chill, this palm technique is incredible, if I hadn't learned the Purple Clouds Skill, I would have frozen to death right here, it's really amazing."

Zuo Lengchan saw that Xin Zhen's voice was not trembling when he spoke, and thought: His Huashan Sect's Zixia Skill is quite impressive. After receiving my Ice Palm, his voice did not tremble at all.

Then Xin Zhen said, "Is this the limit of Sect Leader Zuo's skills? If so, I will fight back!"

After saying this, Xin Zhen took the initiative to attack, and his sword attacked like a storm.

Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly and swung his sword to fight back. The sword moves of the two men became more brutal and fierce than before. They were no longer competing for superiority, but fighting for their lives.

Once the fight started, it was endless.

Although the Songshan School only has seventeen moves of Songshan sword techniques, for a martial arts master like Zuo Lengchan, there is no fixed logic to follow when using the sword. When the seventeen moves of sword techniques are mixed together and used, it seems as if there are endless sword techniques.

However, Zuo Lengchan felt that Xin Zhen's sword skills were more complex than his own, and he was afraid that even if he fought for another three days and three nights, he would still have new moves.

However, he did not know that the Dugu Nine Swords that Xin Zhen had learned did not require any specific moves. He could only respond naturally to the enemy's moves. If the enemy had thousands of moves, he would naturally have thousands of moves as well.

After fighting for about 120 or 130 moves, Xin Zhen attacked without thinking, and with Zuo Lengchan's sword moves so fast, Xin Zhen had no time to think.

Zuo Lengchan is the most powerful swordsman Xin Zhen has ever met since his debut. Zuo Lengchan's martial arts skills are rare in the world, but no matter how his sword moves change, there will always be corresponding moves randomly derived from Xin Zhen's Dugu Nine Swords, either defensive or offensive, to confront him head-on.

Xin Zhen became more and more excited the more the fight went on. Fighting against a master like Zuo Lengchan, all the mysteries and subtleties of his Dugu Nine Swords that he had never comprehended before were fully displayed in his mind. As time went on, he became more and more free in his expression, and had reached a state without any rules.

Zuo Lengchan became more and more frightened as the fight went on, and by the time he had fought 150 or 160 moves, he was already feeling a little sluggish with his sword moves.

Even if he poured his internal energy into the sword, Xin Zhen's internal energy was not inferior to his.

For a moment, Zuo Lengchan didn’t know how to win. He could only hope that Xin Zhen was young and his internal energy reserves were insufficient. He just needed to hold on and wait until Xin Zhen was exhausted, and then he could capture him.

However, after fighting for 300 or 400 moves, the dusk gradually deepened, and due to the thick fog, it was gradually difficult to see clearly, and the Songshan disciples on both sides lit torches to illuminate. After 500 or 600 moves, Zuo Lengchan's breathing gradually became heavy, and sweat gradually appeared on his body.

His expression became more and more solemn, because Xin Zhen seemed to be more and more energetic. In the dark night, his eyes were shining and his sword was drawing faster and faster. There was no sign of his internal energy being exhausted!
Zuo Lengchan was groaning in his heart, but he didn't know what to do. Just when he made up his mind to ask Ding Mian and others to rush forward and kill Xin Zhen on the spot, there were sudden whistling sounds from all directions.

Zuo Lengchan's face changed, and he forced Xin Zhen away and leaped back, shouting loudly: "Songshan disciples, focus on me!"

The disciples of Songshan gathered around Zuo Lengchan, and those who were stabbed to the ground were helped up.

A group of monks appeared in the thick fog. Zuo Lengchan saw Master Fangsheng, followed by Jueyue, Xin Guoliang and others.

Fang Sheng and Xin Zhen nodded, then put their hands together and said, "Master Zuo, you are honored to visit Shaoshi Mountain, but what is the important matter?"

Zuo Lengchan snorted and said, "So it's Master Fang Sheng. I have no intention of offending Shaolin. I am here to capture the thief who killed my junior brother Lu Bai."

Fang Sheng chanted a Buddhist name and said, "Could the thief Mr. Zuo is referring to be Master Xin Zhen, the descendant of Mr. Feng?"

Zuo Lengchan nodded and said, "That's right, he was the one who killed Junior Brother Lu Bai. He also killed Junior Brother Lu Lianrong from the Hengshan Sect and Senior Yu Jizi from the Taishan Sect."

Fang Sheng nodded and said, "I have heard about this matter, and I know the right and wrong. I feel deeply sorry for this happening, but since it has already happened, it is not good to commit murder again.

Mr. Xin has come here to make an appointment with Shaolin Temple. Senior Brother Fang Zheng is waiting for Mr. Xin in the temple. Mr. Zuo, what do you think? "

Zuo Lengchan snorted coldly and said, "Since he is Master Fang Zheng's guest, I will let him go for now, but this matter is not over yet."

Fang Sheng chanted a Buddhist name and said, "Thank you Mr. Zuo for your understanding. Mr. Zuo and Mr. Xin will handle the future matters on their own. Shaolin Temple dare not interfere."

Zuo Lengchan snorted and said, "Let's go!"

Zuo Lengchan walked in front, and the disciples of Songshan quickly helped the injured and followed behind him along the mountain path.

Xin Zhen and Master Fang Sheng bowed and thanked him: "Thank you Master Fang Sheng for coming to help. If it weren't for Master Fang Sheng, I would have suffered a great loss tonight."

Master Fang Sheng smiled and said, "Mr. Xin is too modest. It seems that Mr. Xin has not suffered any loss. Several of the Thirteen Guardians were injured, and all the disciples of Songshan were brought along. Even the Left Sect Leader looks very tired. If the fight continues, Mr. Xin may win."

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "But if Zuo Lengchan had the shamelessness to let them attack together, I might not have survived tonight. In the end, it was the Shaolin Temple that saved Xin Zhen's life."

Master Fang Sheng shook his head and said, "Mr. Xin, please don't worry about these things. Mr. Feng was very kind to me back then, and I wish I could repay him. Today, I am honored to be able to give back to his disciple."

Xin Guoliang said: "Uncle Master, it's getting late, why don't we invite Mr. Xin back to the temple to stay, so we can have a good chat about anything."

Master Fang Sheng nodded repeatedly and said, "That's right, Mr. Xin, Senior Brother Fang Zheng has been looking forward to seeing you for a long time, why don't you take this opportunity to go to the temple and spend some time there?"

Xin Zhen smiled and said, "I was going to go anyway, this is the perfect time."
