Chapter 109 Why don’t you castrate yourself when practicing the Sword of Exorcism?
"You admit defeat?"

Chu Yuan retracted the sword that was stabbing at Zhen Shanzi, looked at Zhen Shanzi who had only one eye left and asked.

"Admit defeat!"

Zhen Shanzi covered his stabbed left eye with one hand, and blood flowed down between his fingers.

He had no doubt that if he had admitted defeat a moment later, he would have become a dead soul under Chu Yuan's sword.

He was only asked to help out of favor.

Not only has he lost an eye, but it would be too unfair if he died at the hands of Chu Yuan's sword.

Seeing Zhen Shanzi admit defeat, Chu Yuan no longer cared about him.

He turned around and looked at the last person, Taoist Chongxu of the Wudang Sect, who attacked him with a sword.

The reason why he dealt with the leader of Wudang Sect, Taoist Chongxu, last was because the other party practiced Tai Chi Sword Technique.

This sword technique, created by Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of the Wudang Sect, is subtle and mysterious. It emphasizes that the spirit should be ahead of the sword and should be continuous.

Respond to ever-changing situations with the unchanging attitude, and use your own bluntness to block the enemy's bluntness.

This sword technique can be used to stab out various types of circular swords and shields, large and small, forward, reverse, diagonal, and vertical. If you cannot break this sword technique, you will be entangled by it and unable to escape.

It was precisely because Chu Yuan realized how difficult this sword technique was that he had been avoiding Chongxu. He dealt with the other three opponents first and then attacked Chongxu at the end.

Otherwise, once Chongxu is entangled, it will be difficult to determine the winner in a short time. With the other three people working together to support, this battle may not be so easy to determine the winner.

Now Chongxu is the only one left. Even if his Tai Chi Sword Technique is difficult to deal with, Chu Yuan is not afraid when fighting alone. He can always find a way to break it.

Chu Yuan first tried the "Bixie Sword Technique" and found that although Chongxu's "Tai Chi Sword Technique" was far slower than his own, he was able to respond to changes with the same strategy. Every time, he could use the circular sword shield drawn by the long sword in his hand to firmly block Chu Yuan's sword shadows that were invisible to the naked eye and as fast as lightning.

For a moment, there was a feeling that water couldn't pour in, a needle couldn't pierce through, and water couldn't leak out.

"Luckily I wasn't the first one to deal with him just now."

Seeing that Chongxu was so difficult to deal with, Chu Yuan felt relieved.

Seeing that the "Bixie Sword Technique" had no effect on Chongxu, Chu Yuan immediately changed his mind and used his self-created "Tiandun Sword Technique".

Use the three sword moves of fast, soft and hard to defeat the enemy in succession and look for the flaws.

In Chu Yuan's opinion, the Tai Chi Sword Technique used by Taoist Chongxu had a sense of continuous rotation, and any attack from him would be blocked by the Tai Chi Sword Technique.

This Tai Chi Sword Technique does not seem to have any flaws and is simply the most perfect defensive sword move in the world.

"However, in all sword techniques, there are always flaws. I just haven't found them yet."

While fighting with Chongxu, Chu Yuan was thinking hard about how to break Chongxu's swordsmanship.

"Since his defense is flawless, what about his offense?"

Chu Yuan suddenly thought of it.

If there is no flaw in defense, the flaw must be in offense!
When Chongxu attacks, that might be the best time to defeat him.

Unfortunately, when Chongxu attacked just now, Chu Yuan was busy dealing with other people and had no time to attack Chongxu.

Now in a one-on-one situation, Chongxu became alert and was completely in a defensive state.

"We need to find a way to get Chongxu to attack."

Chu Yuan said in his heart.

"Gang Qi, they have always wanted to break my protective Gang Qi. Only by breaking my Gang Qi can they defeat me. As long as I remove the Gang Qi, Chongxu will find out and will surely attack me!"

A plan appeared in Chu Yuan's mind.

As for whether it will succeed or not, you won’t know until you try.

Chu Yuan stabbed several times with his sword and suddenly flew backwards.

Just as Chongxu was stunned, with confusion in his eyes, he didn't understand why Chu Yuan, who had been attacking him just now, suddenly flew backwards!
"Master Chongxu, his internal strength is running out, and his protective shield is gone. Let's work together to defeat him."

At this moment, a somewhat happy voice suddenly came from the side.

It was the abbot of Shaolin Temple, Fang Zheng.

He had been paying attention to the battle and saw that some of the snowflakes that had originally avoided Chu Yuan's body actually fell on Chu Yuan's clothes. A hint of joy flashed in his eyes.

This means that Chu Yuan’s protective energy is gone!
Fang Zheng ignored the injuries in his body, swung the Zen stick in his hand, and attacked Chu Yuan again.

This is the only chance to defeat Chu Yuan.

No matter why the protective energy around Chu Yuan's body disappeared, or whether this was Chu Yuan's strategy, they had to take a chance.

Fang Zheng's words also made those in Qingcheng Sect who were paying attention to this battle and concerned about Chu Yuan's safety all change their expressions.

When Taoist Chongxu heard Fang Zheng's words, he reacted immediately. Without any hesitation, he turned from defense to offense and stabbed the retreating Chu Yuan with the sword in his hand.

Chu Yuan did not expect that by withdrawing his protective qi, he not only caused Chongxu to switch from defense to offense, but also made Fangzheng unable to restrain himself and rejoin the battle.

But it doesn't matter...

When Chongxu gave up defense and decided to attack.

The outcome of this battle has already been decided.

"I found the flaw..."

Chu Yuan's eyes lit up as he watched Chongxu turn from defense to offense and stab at him with a sword.

I saw a halo surrounding Chongxu's body and flashing sword lights, but I couldn't hear any sound of sword wind.

It was as if hundreds of long swords were protecting this old Taoist priest, forming a dazzling sword light, like a protective halo, rushing towards Chu Yuan together.

Maybe Chongxu thought he had found hope of defeating Chu Yuan, so at this time the Tai Chi Sword Technique was brought to its limit in his hands.

While the opponent was attacking him, Chu Yuan also found the flaw in the Tai Chi Sword Technique...

The only imperfection is in the center of the circle.

Chu Yuan suddenly stopped retreating, rushed forward, and stabbed five or six times towards the center of the sword and shield circle.

Suddenly, all the circular swords and shields around Taoist Chongxu, as well as the sword lights, disappeared.

Before Chongxu could react, Chu Yuan stabbed his hand with another sword.

The tip of the sword in Chu Yuan's hand pierced the place where the hilt and the sword body of the sword in Chongxu's hand were connected. The sword was immediately shaken out of his hand, the knuckles were broken, and the right hand holding the sword trembled slightly.

Having just broken Chongxu's "Tai Chi Sword Technique", Chu Yuan only felt a strong wind blowing on his face from the right side.

Chu Yuan glanced to the side and found that it was Fang Zheng who was holding the Zen stick again and sweeping it towards him with the "Vajra Protector" move. When he noticed it, the Zen stick was less than ten feet away from his body.

Given the length and attack range of the Zen staff, it would fall on him in the next moment, and he would have no time to dodge.

For a moment, several countermeasures flashed through Chu Yuan's mind.

In fact, after defeating several powerful enemies in a row, plus the nine great masters of the righteous path that he had defeated before, Chu Yuan now had very little internal strength left in his body, only a mere 40% left, which should be enough to defeat Fang Zheng.

Chu Yuan used the "Nine Heavens Qi" to reopen the protective qi.

boom!
The next moment, Fang Zheng's Zen stick was blocked two feet away from Chu Yuan's body. There was an ear-piercing sound of metal clashing, and his Zen stick could no longer move forward even a little bit.

Fang Zheng felt that his blow was like hitting hard bluestone, and the recoil force made the base of his hands numb.

"you do this delibrately?"

Seeing that the protective aura that had disappeared on Chu Yuan's body reappeared, Fang Zheng suddenly realized.

"Smart, but unfortunately I realized it too late."

Chu Yuan said calmly.

At this moment, Chu Yuan suddenly made a move. With his empty left hand, he clenched his five fingers, stretched out his sleeve, and pressed on the top of Fang Zheng's Zen stick. Fang Zheng tried hard to break free, but found that the Zen stick was like being clamped by a tiger's claw and could not move at all.

"Bring it here!"

With a little effort, Chu Yuan snatched the weapon from Fang Zheng's hand.

Chu Yuan placed the Zen stick in front of him and took a quick look at it.

The staff was about five feet long and dark in color. It was probably made of fine iron, with blades on both ends. One end was crescent-shaped with four small holes in the crescent, through which four iron rings passed. The other end was a simple cone-shaped top.

This Zen stick is not light, weighing more than 100 kilograms.

Normally, when we see Fangzheng holding the Zen stick, he seems to be holding nothing, which shows that Fangzheng has profound internal strength.

Generally, weapons in the martial arts world weigh several kilograms or more. Even heavy weapons such as hammers and axes weigh only a few dozen kilograms. Few people use weapons that weigh more than a hundred kilograms.

Because weapons weighing more than 100 kilograms are difficult to control, the heavier the weapon is, the better. Instead, when fighting a strong enemy, it is best to be able to use it as if you were moving your arms.

Otherwise, if you can't control the weapon yourself, how can you use it to hurt the enemy?
But Fangzheng's Zen stick was obviously not among them.

"The weapon is good, but it's a pity that it doesn't follow the right master!"

Chu Yuan said after taking a glance.

As he spoke, he suddenly exerted force with his left hand, and within the sea of ​​energy in his dantian, the two internal forces of "Sunflower Manual" and "Nine Heavens Gangqi" burst out at the same time.

The head of the Zen staff was crushed by Chu Yuan with one hand.

The head of the Zen stick broke into more than twenty pieces, which flew in all directions like flowers scattered by a fairy.

Under the influence of Chu Yuan's internal force, these Zen stick fragments became incredibly powerful and as sharp as knives.

Although Fangzheng reacted in time, waved his robes, and rolled over on the spot to dodge in time, his monk's robes and robes were still scratched with more than a dozen large and small holes and scars, and even his face was scratched with two or three small scratches, which seeped out blood, making Fangzheng, the abbot of Shaolin Temple, look a little embarrassed.

“Since we’ve been defeated, the three of you should leave your weapons in Qingcheng Mountain.” Chu Yuan said as he glanced at Fang Zheng, Chongxu and Yue Buqun.

As he spoke, Chu Yuan casually threw Fang Zheng's Zen stick, of which only the stem was left, towards the direction where the Qingcheng Sect disciples were standing, towards the nearly ten-foot-high cliff that they had to pass before going up the mountain.

Obviously, the stone wall was nearly twenty feet away from Chu Yuan, but the shaft of the Zen stick was nailed into the stone wall like a nail, and more than half of it was embedded in it.

Next to them were ten corpses of underworld martial arts masters who were hung on the stone wall by disciples of the Qingcheng Sect, with a thick layer of snow accumulated on their bodies.

"I suppose you three have no objection?"

After Chu Yuan finished all this, he looked at Fang Zheng and the other two and said.

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

They knew that it was not enough for Chu Yuan to defeat them.

He also wants to trample on the reputation of Shaolin, Wudang and the Five Mountains and humiliate them.

If they really did as Chu Yuan said, the weapons of the three of them would be left on Qingcheng Mountain and stuck by Chu Yuan on the cliff at the foot of Qingcheng Sect.

From now on, every tourist or martial arts hero who comes to Qingcheng Mountain will know that the leaders of the Shaolin, Wudang and Five Mountains sects were once defeated by the Qingcheng Sword Master Chu Yuan. Some people may even remember the details of today and use it as a topic of conversation in the martial arts world.

This is a huge shame for Shaolin, Wudang and the Five Mountains sects.

And it is a shame that can never be erased no matter how much time has passed.

Naturally they were unwilling to do so.

But they are the butchers and I am the meat.

Now that they have been defeated by Chu Yuan, it is Chu Yuan who can make the decision, and they have no right to refuse at all.

“Will our opposition be of any use?”

After a moment's silence, Master Fang Zheng said.

"certainly……"

Chu Yuan deliberately prolonged his tone.

Fang Zheng and Chongxu looked somewhat relieved.

"No."

Then Chu Yuan said again.

"Whether you are an individual or a sect, you must be responsible for the decisions you make. Since you have come to attack the Qingcheng Sect, if you win, it will be fine, as your goal will be achieved. Now that you have lost, you should be punished."

Chu Yuan said calmly.

"Master Chu, let's leave our weapons on Mount Qingcheng. This time, our three sects accept defeat."

Taoist Chongxu looked at Chu Yuan and sighed.

Jianghu and Wulin!
What matters is the strength!

Now, only Chu Yuan from the Qingcheng Sect has taken action and defeated all the masters of the righteous path. As the losing party, they naturally have no right to refuse.

Compared to refusing to agree to death, losing face in the underworld gives people a feeling of being unable to afford a defeat.

It is better to stop at the right time and save some face for both parties.

"That's more like it. This is the demeanor that one of the three great sects should have."

Chu Yuan smiled slightly.

In fact, there is a solution to this kind of situation.

As long as they go back and blame themselves for the decision to attack Qingcheng Mountain and the failure of the attack, and then announce their resignation as the head of the sect, the prestige of the sect will not be damaged, and the only loss will be their personal face.

However, how to do it specifically depends on the decision of Fang Zheng, Chongxu and Yue Buqun.

Zhenshanzi:?

Zhen Shanzi, the leader of Kunlun Sect, had one eye blinded by Chu Yuan and was enduring the pain while being healed by his own disciple. He noticed that Chu Yuan never mentioned him from beginning to end.

He felt both relieved and a little disappointed.

He was thankful because he was one of the four sect leaders who had participated in the siege of Chu Yuan. He didn't have to leave his weapons in Qingcheng Mountain, and his and Kunlun Sect's reputation and prestige would not be ruined.

The reason for the disappointment was that Chu Yuanti didn't even stand up for him, which showed that Chu Yuan looked down on him.

Chu Yuan didn't know what Zhen Shanzi was thinking, and even if he knew, he wouldn't take it too seriously.

He looked at his eldest disciple Linghu Chong and his daughter Yue Lingshan, who had also been defeated and were bandaging his wounds. Yue Buqun, who looked a little dazed, said, "Master Yue, I don't think I have ever done you any wrong. Instead, you followed Shaolin and Wudang to besiege Qingcheng Sect. When we fought just now, why did you look at me with hatred in your eyes?"

"It's useless to say these things. You have severed the tendons of my right hand. I will never be able to wield a sword again in my life. My sword skills are wasted. From now on, I, Yue Buqun, will be a useless person."

Hearing Chu Yuan's words, Yue Buqun raised his head, looked at Chu Yuan, and said in a somewhat self-deprecating tone.

During the fight just now, Chu Yuan stabbed his right hand tendons.

As a swordsman, a man who has practiced swordplay for most of his life, his right hand tendons were cut and he could no longer lift the sword, which meant that all his sword skills were wasted.

Chu Yuan actually saw a feeling of despair in his eyes.

"Chu Yuan, you are called the Qingcheng Sword Immortal in vain, but you have such a vicious mind that you stabbed my father's tendons. My Huashan Sect has some friendship with you. Eight years ago, when you went down the mountain to travel, my Huashan Sect entertained you with all its heart. You have lived in Huashan Sect for nearly a year. Today, you have done such a cruel thing to my father. We, the Five Mountains Sect, will remember this grudge!"

Yue Lingshan, who had just bandaged Yue Buqun's wound, looked at Chu Yuan with hatred.

Chu Yuan did not say anything, but just looked quietly at Yue Lingshan who hated him.

"Little girl, I remember when I first saw you, you were only this tall."

Chu Yuan gestured and showed Yue Lingshan, who was only slightly taller than his knees when they were at Huashan eight years ago.

"If you want revenge, you can come to me anytime. I won't hold back. The martial arts world is like this. There are endless grudges and it's hard to tell who is right and who is wrong. From our respective standpoints, no one is wrong, but only the winner has the right to speak. If your father and his men win today, the fate of Qingcheng Sect and me will not be any better than your father's."

Chu Yuan said in a calm tone.

"you……"

Yue Lingshan was furious when she heard Chu Yuan's words.

She wanted to refute Chu Yuan, but she couldn't find a reason to refute.

This time it was indeed the Five Mountains Sect that was in the wrong. They joined forces with Shaolin Temple and Wudang Sect to attack Qingcheng Sect first, but they were defeated in the end.

Linghu Chong, who was standing next to Yue Lingshan, looked at Chu Yuan with a complicated expression.

He had promised his master's wife Ning Zhongze that no matter who won or lost between Chu Yuan and his master, he would try his best to save their lives.

Unexpectedly, this time, it was the Qingcheng Sect that won.

And in a way that no one had expected, Taoist Priest Chu from the Qingcheng Sect alone defeated all the masters including the leaders of the Five Mountains, Shaolin, and Wudang sects.

This Taoist Priest Chu did not kill his own master.

This way, I don't have to take action.

But he stabbed and severed the tendons of his master's right hand, and as a result, his master's sword skills were almost ruined.

So he didn't know whether he should be happy or sad.

"Master Chu, looking at the moves you made just now, you have clearly practiced the "Sword Manual of Exorcism", but why are you still no different from a normal man?"

After Yue Buqun felt disappointed, he couldn't help but express his curiosity, so he asked Chu Yuan.

"I was wondering why you hated me, and it turns out it was because of this."

Chu Yuan burst out laughing.

"Do you think I deceived you and gave you a fake "Sword Manual of Exorcism"? "

Chu Yuan asked Yue Buqun again.

"Why else? Why are you still a normal man even though you practice the "Sword Manual of Exorcism"? "

Yue Buqun said.

The most hurtful thing was that he had given everything, even to the point of castrating himself to practice the "Bixie Sword Manual", but he felt that apart from Zuo Lengchan, there were other unattainable masters like Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai in this world.

He could still understand Dongfang Bubai, because he was also a ruthless man who castrated himself, and all his martial arts skills were acquired through self-castration.

But why did Chu Yuan...

Why is it that his martial arts skills are so much better than his, and he has also practiced the "Bixie Sword Manual", but he doesn't need to castrate himself?

Yue Buqun only felt an emotion called jealousy and unwillingness gnawing at his heart.

“I, Chu Yuan, do not lie, nor do I bother to lie.” Chu Yuan looked at Yue Buqun and said, “The reason why I can practice the “Bixie Sword Manual” without castrating myself is because I have found a new way and created a method that does not require castration to practice the “Bixie Sword Manual”.”

"In fact, I not only practiced the "Sword Manual of Exorcism", I also practiced the "Sunflower Manual." Then, Chu Yuan revealed another big secret.

After hearing Chu Yuan's words, almost everyone in the Qingcheng Sect and the righteous sects turned their eyes to Chu Yuan.

Especially Ren Woxing and Ren Yingying, Ren Yingying looked very nervous.

More or less, they have all heard something about "The Book of the Sword of Exorcism" and "The Manual of the Sunflower". "The Book of the Sword of Exorcism" is a sword technique created by Lin Yuantu, who was once a world-renowned figure and the founder of the Fuwei Escort Agency.

The "Sunflower Manual" is a martial art practiced by the Demon Cult's leader Dongfang Bubai, which is recognized by both the Demon Cult and the martial arts world as the best in the world.

No wonder the "Qingcheng Sword Immortal" is so powerful. In addition to his own martial arts such as "Nine Heavens Gangqi" and "Tiandun Sword Technique", he also practiced "Sunflower Manual" and "Bixie Sword Manual".
