Chapter 107 Like a Fallen Immortal

"Yes, we give up!"

Taoist Master Chongxu was not far away either.

Just now, Fang Sheng almost died at the hands of Chu Yuan.

If the fight continued, Fang Sheng would be seriously injured, and I'm afraid the others would suffer the same fate.

Chongxiao is one of the rare masters in Wudang Sect. If he dies at the hands of Chu Yuan, it will be a great loss for Wudang Sect.

"Admit defeat!"

"I surrender."

"We also admit defeat."

Seeing that Wudang and Shaolin admitted defeat one after another, the remaining Taoist priests Tianmen, Mr. Mo Da of Xiaoxiang Yeyu and the leader of the Beggars' Sect, Jie Feng, also admitted defeat one after another.

The reason why Taoist Tianmen and Mr. Mo Da admitted defeat was because they were not willing to fight with Chu Yuan.

But helpless.

This was the order from the leader Yue Buqun, and they couldn't disobey it.

So during the battle just now, although nothing could be seen on the surface, the fact was that they did not try their best at all.

Especially Mr. Mo Da of Xiaoxiang Yeyu, this was not the first time he lost to Chu Yuan.

Eight years ago, when Zuo Lengchan, the head of Songshan Sect and also the leader of the Five Mountains Alliance, wanted to seize the Lin family's "Bixie Sword Manual" and falsely accused the Lin family of colluding with the Demon Cult, he was defeated by Chu Yuan.

He was no match for Chu Yuan eight years ago. If they were to fight again eight years later, he would be even less likely to be Chu Yuan's opponent, whether he tried his best or not.

As for the Beggars' Sect leader Jie Feng...

The three sects of Shaolin, Wudang and Five Mountains, who were the main forces, have all been defeated or admitted defeat. Why should those of them who were invited to help out of favors work so hard?

Didn’t you see those people not far away? Either they were seriously injured or their lives were unknown.

"Qingcheng Sword Immortal wins this round!"

Seeing the remaining three people admit defeat one after another, Fang Zheng didn't know what to say anymore. He could only admit that he lost this round.

"So I won this round!" Chu Yuan smiled when he saw Fang Zheng and the others admit defeat.

"Now that I have won, what do the three of you want to do next?" Chu Yuan asked Fang Zheng, Chongxu and Yue Buqun again.

Fang Zheng, Chongxu, and Yue Buqun were all silent for a moment.

They really didn't expect that even though they had sent out nine righteous masters to join forces, they were still no match for Chu Yuan.

Although there are many righteous people who have followed and been invited to come together to attack the Qingcheng Sect, there are only a few who are as powerful as these nine people.

Not to mention that they couldn't gather nine people again. Even if they could gather nine more masters, they had lost the previous competition and would probably still not win the next one.

But now that things have come to this, they are unwilling to give up.

The rise of the Qingcheng Sect is unstoppable.

Fang Zheng and Chongxu both felt that this was the only and last chance to contain the Qingcheng Sect.

Having missed this opportunity, they could only watch helplessly as yet another powerful sect emerged in the martial arts world.

This is even more true for Yue Buqun, who has already offended Chu Yuan and the Qingcheng Sect.

The Qingcheng Sect and the Five Mountains Sect have become mortal enemies. He is afraid that after this incident, Chu Yuan and the Qingcheng Sect will settle accounts with him and the Five Mountains Sect.

at this point.

unless……

These leaders personally took action and made a final effort.

……

At this time, the sky and the earth were covered with snow.

It had been snowing for so long that white snow had begun to accumulate on the undulating mountains of Qingcheng Mountain in the distance and on both sides of the road.

Although the snow was not deep, less than a foot, it covered the earth and mountains with a layer of white veil.

And just when Fang Zheng, Chongxu and Yue Buqun were considering it.

Hou Renying, who returned to the mountain, finally invited his master Yu Canghai and hundreds of old seniors in the sect, led by Cuixia and Bixu, to come down. He also brought thousands of elite members of the Qingcheng Sect. They walked down the mountain in a mighty procession, walking on the steps of the Qingcheng Mountain Road which were covered with a layer of ice and snow. Hou Renying led the way for everyone.

Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian were also among them, but they were all wearing Taoist robes.

"Ren Yan, what happened here just now?"

After going down the mountain, Yu Canghai walked with Bixu and Cuixia. Behind them were hundreds of white-haired old Taoists. Almost all the masters of Qingcheng Sect had come. Looking at several masters of righteous sects who were seriously injured not far away, he asked Yu Renyan who had just witnessed what happened here.

"Dad, my uncle is so powerful. Before you came, he defeated the nine masters of the righteous sects alone."

Yu Renyan looked at Chu Yuan not far away with awe.

"Except for killing those gangsters who broke into our sect, Junior Brother hasn't taken action for a long time. I didn't expect that he has become so strong?"

Yu Canghai turned around after hearing that. He looked at the 365 Qingcheng disciples who were assigned to guard the mountain road, who also had expressions of awe and reverence on their faces, and said in surprise.

He knew many of those injured masters, all of whom were well-known martial arts masters.

If these people joined forces and could defeat two or three of them, it would be a great achievement. But to be able to defeat nine of them, I wonder how high the martial arts skills of my junior brother must be.

He thought that after mastering the "Nine Heavens Gangqi", even if his martial arts were not as good as his junior brother's, the difference would not be much.

Now it seems that he was overthinking.

"Brother Chu's martial arts skills are indeed very high."

Taoist Cuixia said.

"It's beyond your and my ability."

Taoist Bixu also said.

The several martial arts they and the Qingcheng Sect disciples practiced were all created by Chu Yuan.

They knew very well that in order to create their own martial arts, one must not have achieved master-level accomplishments in the field of martial arts, but must have their own understanding of martial arts to be able to innovate and create new martial arts.

Just like those Taoist predecessors in history who were able to write their own Taoist scriptures, each of them was a man of extraordinary talent.

It was because they were impressed by Chu Yuan's talent that they agreed to merge with him.

……

"Daughter, what's going on here?"

I walked to Ren Yingying and said to her, looking at her daughter, Ren Yingying, who was staring at Chu Yuan in the field.

"Dad, Uncle Chu just defeated nine great martial arts masters by himself, including the Beggars' Sect leader Jie Feng, Shaolin Temple Fang Sheng, Wudang Sect Chong Xiao, former Taishan Sect leader Tianmen Taoist, former Hengshan Sect leader Mr. Mo Da, and Liuhe Sect old boxer Xia Ji..."

Ren Yingying withdrew her gaze and recounted everything that had just happened at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain.

"Master, these are all experts in the righteous martial arts world, and some of them are even the leaders of their own sects."

Xiang Wentian couldn't help but say from the side.

He thought that his martial arts skills were better than any of these people, but to a limited extent.

If the three of them join forces, he will escape.

If the five of them joined forces, he was afraid that he would be overwhelmed and defeated directly.

The martial arts of his leader might be slightly higher than his own, but not much higher. His main strength lies in his unstoppable "Star Absorbing Technique" that can absorb people's internal energy.

But if nine people join forces, even with the "Star Absorbing Art", their own leader may not be their match.

"I know. I have heard of most of these people's names before I was imprisoned in the Jiangnan dungeon by that evil villain Dongfang Bubai."

Ren Woxing sighed.

Anyone whose name caught his attention could be considered a top-notch master in the martial arts world.

Being besieged by so many masters, even if it were him, he might not be sure of defeating the other party.

"However, only someone with such high martial arts skills and heroic spirit can be worthy of being my Yingying and my son-in-law."

Ren Woxing said proudly.

"father!"

Seeing that her father spoke too loudly and was heard by the surrounding Qingcheng Taoist priests, who turned their gazes towards them, Ren Yingying blushed immediately and tugged at her father Ren Woxing's sleeve, asking him to speak more quietly.

"Why are you shy? I, your father, was telling the truth."

Ren Woxing said nonchalantly.

"What are you looking at? Am I wrong? You little idiots, when your uncle or great-uncle gets married to my daughter, you will still have to call her aunt or grandmother, and I am the father-in-law of your uncle or great-uncle, so you will have to call me uncle."

Then Ren Woxing said to the group of young Taoists around him who were looking at him, Ren Yingying and Xiang Wentian.

"You are wearing Taoist robes, who are you calling a bull nose?"

When these young Taoists heard this, they secretly thought to themselves.

Although there was anger in his eyes, he could only turn his gaze away, not daring to speak out.

Ok!

Although his tone was a bit harsh and he called them stupid, what he said did make sense.

They endured this.

Ren Yingying, Ren Woxing and Xiang Wentian have a special status in Qingcheng Mountain and cannot be easily offended.

"Daddy!"

Seeing her father on Mount Qingcheng acting like a rampant crab and bullying the young Taoist priest from Qingcheng beside him, Ren Yingying felt both ashamed and angry.

"Okay, daughter, I'll listen to you. I won't say anything more."

After teasing my daughter enough, Ren Woxing changed the subject.

……

not far away.

Seeing the arrival of the Qingcheng Sect's reinforcements, Master Fangzheng, Taoist Chongxu, and Yue Buqun all felt a sinking feeling in their hearts.

Although there seemed to be only a thousand people from the Qingcheng Sect who came down the mountain.

But among them there are quite a few, as many as hundreds of white-haired old Taoist priests.

This means that the Qingcheng Sect may have also sent experts down the mountain.

"I wonder what you two mean?"

Master Fang Zheng supported Fang Sheng and returned to the Shaolin Temple team. After asking the Shaolin Temple's monks to take Fang Sheng away to heal his wounds, Master Fang Zheng walked to Taoist Chongxu and Yue Buqun.

"It seems we have no choice but to take action ourselves."

Taoist Chongxu said with worry in his eyes.

Even if they take action themselves, they are still not sure of winning.

"In this situation, we can only give it a try."

Yue Buqun said, "In that case, let's join forces and fight this Qingcheng Sword Immortal."

Master Fang Zheng made up his mind.

"Can the three of us defeat this Qingcheng Sword Immortal?"

Taoist Chongxu suddenly asked a question that undermined everyone's morale.

"What does Taoist Chongxu mean?"

Master Fangzheng, however, heard the hidden meaning in Taoist Chongxu's words.

"What I mean is that we'd better find someone whose martial arts skills are not much different from ours to join forces with us. This way we will have a better chance of success."

Taoist Chongxu said.

"Does Sect Leader Chongxu already have a candidate in mind?"

Master Fang Zheng asked.

"What do you think of Kunlun Sect's leader Qian Kun's sword that shocked Shan Zi and the hero?"

Taoist Chongxu asked.

"The head of Kunlun Sect, the hero Zhen Shanzi, is one of the ten best fighters in the righteous martial arts world today. If he is willing to help, then there is nothing wrong with that."

Master Fang Zheng said.

When fighting with this Qingcheng Sword Immortal, having more experts means more confidence.

"I, the Taoist priest, will handle this matter."

Taoist Chongxu said.

"Then I'll trouble you, Taoist Chongxu."

Master Fang Zheng and Yue Buqun both spoke to Taoist Chongxu.

Taoist Chongxu nodded and walked towards the Kunlun Sect's leader, Qiankun Yijian Zhenshanzi.

"Master Chu..."

After the negotiation came to a conclusion, Master Fang Zheng looked at Chu Yuan and was about to tell him about this matter.

However, when he looked at Chu Yuan, he couldn't help but feel a chill in his heart.

Because of what he saw, the words that were about to come out of his mouth were blocked.

At this time, heavy snow was falling between heaven and earth.

Not to mention that the earth and mountains were covered with a layer of snow, even the people from the righteous sects who had been standing at the foot of Qingcheng Mountain for a long time, as well as the disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, had some snow on their clothes, shoulders, hair, and eyelashes.

Only Chu Yuan stood in the wind and snow, like a banished immortal, without a speck of snow on his body.

Whenever a snowflake fell on Chu Yuan, it was blocked by an invisible air shield and then slid down Chu Yuan's body to the ground.

Even within two feet around Chu Yuan's body, there was no snow to be seen.

Master Fang Zheng was not the only one who noticed this. All the people from the righteous sects looked at Chu Yuan with astonishment.

Some people guessed that Chu Yuan was using the magical skill that could protect his body to avoid the snow.

Some people also think that Chu Yuan’s martial arts have truly reached the level of immortals, otherwise how could such a strange phenomenon appear on his body?
"Why, have you come up with a conclusion?"

Chu Yuan stood in the snow with a sword in his hand, isolated and aloof from the world. He asked Master Fang Zheng.

The people in the martial arts world are not gods.

They also feel cold, hungry, hot and thirsty.

Although internal energy can keep out the cold, it is ultimately too troublesome.

So Chu Yuan used the "Nine Heavens Gangqi". With the protective Gangqi on his body, the wind and snow could not get close to him, so he naturally did not feel cold.

"Master Chu's skills are truly unparalleled. Even the wind and snow can't do anything to him."

Master Fang Zheng was amazed.

It can protect you and keep away from wind and snow.

The Qingcheng Sect's martial arts are truly mysterious.

Chu Yuan, who was able to create the "Nine Heavens Gangqi", is a genius. The founder of Shaolin Temple, Bodhidharma, and the founder of Wudang Sect, Zhang Sanfeng, were probably no more talented than him.

"This is my Qingcheng Sect martial art, the Nine Heavens Qi. After mastering it, the Qi can protect the body and also protect against wind, rain, and heavy snow."

Chu Yuan said calmly.

"Master Chu is very talented."

Master Fang Zheng could only say this.

……

And the conversation between Chu Yuan and Fang Zheng.

However, Yu Canghai, Bixu and Cuixia, who were not far away, were suddenly enlightened.

"It turns out that after mastering the Nine Heavens Qi, the protective Qi can not only protect the body, but also avoid the wind and snow."

Yu Canghai said.

He no longer used his internal energy to keep out the cold, but instead used the "Nine Heavens Gangqi".

The next moment, protective energy appeared around his body, protecting him firmly.

The snowflakes falling between the sky and the earth were pushed away by the strong energy and floated down his body, falling to the ground.

However, compared to Chu Yuan’s protective qi that could leave the body two feet away, his protective qi could only leave the body seven inches.

"this is okay too?"

"Old Taoist priest, come and try it too!"

The two old Taoist priests Bixu and Cuixia were intrigued and they also used the "Nine Heavens Gangqi". Layers of protective gangqi appeared around their bodies one after another, blocking the snowflakes floating between heaven and earth.

However, their protective qi, like Yu Canghai's, can only stay six or seven inches away from the body.

They followed them down the mountain. The old Taoist priests who were originally the masters of the Taoist temples on Qingcheng Mountain looked at the three people with envy and jealousy.

"It turns out that after practicing the Nine Heavens Qi, it can actually have such wonderful uses!"

"In our Qingcheng Sect, besides Chu, there are only three of them who have mastered the Nine Heavens Gang Qi!"

"But it's so difficult to practice the Nine Heavens Qi. I've only practiced the fifth meridian, and there's still the sixth meridian to come. It will take a long time to fully practice the Nine Heavens Qi!"

"If it wasn't difficult, Chu wouldn't have specially created a book called "Xuanmen Gangqi" that is easier to practice."

"Almost there, I have already cultivated the sixth meridian, and will soon cultivate the Nine Heavens Gang Qi."

Hundreds of old Taoist priests with white beards said one after another.

The unusual movements of the Qingcheng Sect also attracted the attention of many people.

"Besides Yu Canghai, the senior brother of the Qingcheng Sword Immortal, there are actually two other people in the Qingcheng Sect who have mastered the magical skill of the Nine Heavens Gangqi?"

Some people in the righteous sects saw what was happening in the Qingcheng Sect and were immediately startled.

Taoist Chongxu, who had just discussed with Kunlun Sect's leader Qiankun Yijian Zhenshanzi, also happened to see this scene.

He was slightly shocked and sighed, "The rise of the Qingcheng Sect is unstoppable!"

"Isn't this internal energy consumption a bit too fast?"

After Taoist Cuixia activated the protective qi, she felt the internal energy in her dantian being rapidly consumed and was secretly amazed.

"Yes, this protective energy is good, but it consumes internal energy too quickly!"

Taoist Bixu also nodded.

"My two uncles, it seems that Junior Brother's inner strength is much stronger than ours."

Yu Canghai said.

Junior brother Chu Yuan has already gone through two consecutive battles. In addition to the previous underworld martial arts people, he just defeated the nine masters of the righteous sects.

In order to avoid the wind and snow, he was even able to activate the protective qi, which showed how profound his junior brother's inner strength was.

"Our body-protecting qi can only leave the body five or six inches, but his body-protecting qi can leave the body two feet. This shows the difference between us."

"Yes, even if we both practiced the Nine Heavens Qi, there is still a difference."

The two Taoist masters Bixu and Cuixia nodded.

……

"Master Chu, let's fight one last round. This time, the old monk, Sect Leader Chongxu, Sect Leader Yue, and Sect Leader Zhen will fight together. If they lose, we will leave."

Master Fang Zheng said to Chu Yuan.

"not enough!"

Chu Yuan looked at Master Fang Zheng and spoke calmly in the wind and snow.

"What does Daoist Master Chu mean?"

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Master Fang Zheng's voice sank.

"Is Qingcheng Mountain a place where you can come and go as you please? If you win, you can continue to encircle and suppress my Qingcheng Mountain, and if you lose, you can just retreat. How can such a good thing happen in the world?"

Chu Yuan looked at Master Fang Zheng and said.

"So what does Master Chu mean?"

Master Fang Zheng said.

"If you win, let's not talk about it for now, but if you lose, you have to leave something behind."

Chu Yuan said.

"What is this? Three of our fellow Taoists have already died at the hands of Taoist Priest Chu. Does the Qingcheng Sect still want to spare our lives?"

Taoist Chongxu walked up to Master Fangzheng and said.

Tie Lao Lao and Magic Pen Lucis, who had just been hit by Chu Yuan's "Heart-Destroying Palm", died due to their serious injuries and shattered internal organs.

The head of Liuhe Sect, Master Xia, also had his meridians shattered by Chu Yuan's terrifyingly deep internal energy. After being helped up by everyone, he was bleeding from all seven orifices and died.

Fang Sheng from Shaolin Temple was also seriously injured.

At the last moment, if Fang Zheng had not rescued him, he would have died.

Another leader of the Donghai Haisha Gang, Pan Hou, had his right arm cut off by Chu Yuan's sword. If he doesn't die in the future, he will probably become a disabled person.

"Three of you, you may not understand the situation."

Chu Yuan smiled slightly and glanced at the three people.

"You were the first to attack the Qingcheng Sect. This is a life-and-death battle for our Qingcheng Sect. Since the sects are at war, we must be prepared to let life and death be decided by fate."

He walked slowly to Chongxu and Fangzheng, looked at them and said:
"Or are you saying that Shaolin and Wudang are used to being the leaders of the righteous martial arts world, and that you are only allowed to suppress others, and others cannot resist?"
