Chapter 127: Swordless Realm
As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Yuan immediately rushed towards Dongfang Bubai.

Dongfang Bubai wanted to compete with Chu Yuan, and Chu Yuan also wanted to compete with Dongfang Bubai.

At the same time Chu Yuan took action, silver light flashed, and several embroidery needles shot towards Chu Yuan, piercing several major acupoints on Chu Yuan's body.

Danger!

When Dongfang Bubai shot the embroidery needle, Chu Yuan suddenly felt his hair stand on end and an intense sense of danger immediately emerged in his mind.

A cold light flashed, and the sword glowed. Chu Yuan immediately used the sword in his hand to stab the embroidery needle that was shot at him.

The embroidery needles thrown by Dongfang Bubai were fast, but the long sword in Chu Yuan's hand was not slow either.

The embroidery needles were knocked away one by one by Chu Yuan's long sword.

Chu Yuan flashed and arrived in front of Dongfang Bubai, and a dragon-shaped sword energy slashed towards Dongfang Bubai.

"Good swordsmanship!"

Realizing that Chu Yuan's dragon-shaped sword energy was different from that of ordinary swordsmen and was incredibly powerful, Dongfang Bubai couldn't help but praise him while dodging.

Seeing that Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai were already fighting, Zhang Sanfeng and Feng Qingyang looked at each other, laughed loudly, and flew over to join the battle.

The four people did not distinguish between friend and foe. After joining the battle, they were surrounded by enemies and would attack anyone with a flaw.

Everyone is fighting one against three.

Seeing the four people fighting happily, with swords flashing raging, sword energy whistling, and needles flying, wherever the four people passed, the surrounding stones collapsed, leaving behind glaring sword marks, and sharp winds that made people's faces hurt, Linghu Chong's heart was pounding and he also wanted to join in.

As a result, as soon as I entered, I was beaten out.

With his strength from practicing "Nine Swords of Dugu" and Shaolin's "Yi Jin Jing", he was unable to gain a foothold in a battle group of four.

"It seems that the gap between me and these four masters is too big, and I can't even get involved in their fight."

He tried twice more, but got the same result. Linghu Chong looked a little embarrassed, so he had no choice but to give up.

"Big Brother, don't be discouraged. These four are all top-notch masters in the world. It is reasonable that you are no match for them."

After settling her father Yue Buqun, whose wrist was pierced by Chu Yuan and whose dantian qi sea was destroyed, Yue Lingshan may have felt that what she and her father had done was really unfair to Linghu Chong. Yue Lingshan was afraid that Linghu Chong's feelings for her would change because of this, so she walked over to Linghu Chong and comforted him.

"Don't worry, Junior Sister, I won't lose heart."

Seeing his junior sister comforting him, Linghu Chong was somewhat moved.

To be honest, when his junior sister threatened him with her own life and asked him to break his oath and teach his father the Shaolin Temple's "Yi Jin Jing", he doubted her feelings for him.

But soon, after his junior sister came to apologize to him, he put it all behind him.

Instead, he felt that it was his own fault. After all, his master Yue Buqun had treated him wholeheartedly. Not only had he raised him since he was a child, but he had also passed the position of the head of the Five Mountains Sect to him.

Although he did not agree with his master Yue Buqun's methods on many things, it was undeniable that his master Yue Buqun was extremely good to him.

"How come there are so many masters in this world..."

Yue Buqun, whose martial arts had been completely destroyed by Chu Yuan this time, was looking at the four masters fighting each other not far away. Any one of them was obviously more than one level higher in martial arts and swordsmanship than him. He muttered to himself.

Before, he thought that since he had practiced the "Bixie Sword Manual" and the "Yi Jin Jing" from Shaolin Temple, even if his martial arts skills were not as good as Chu Yuan's, they should not be much worse.

But the battle just now made him realize that in a year, the gap between him and Chu Yuan not only did not narrow, but widened.

And in this world, there are masters like Chu Yuan.

It's not just Chu Yuan, there are three others.

He knew about Dongfang Bubai, the leader of the Sun and Moon Sect, and the senior sword master who lived in seclusion in the back mountain of Huashan, but he didn't expect their sword skills to be so advanced.

In the past, he even had the delusion that after mastering the "Bixie Sword Manual", he would be able to unite the Five Mountains and unify the world with his unparalleled sword skills and martial arts.

Now it seems that he was too narrow-minded!

He felt that even if he practiced sword skills and martial arts for his entire life, he would never be able to reach the level of these four people.

"I have been defeated. I have been completely defeated!"

Looking at Chu Yuan and his three companions fighting on Luoyan Peak, Ren Woxing said with some disheartened feeling.

He used to want to seek revenge on Dongfang Bubai, but after seeing the four men fighting with all their strength, he no longer had the idea of ​​revenge!
The gap between his martial arts and Dongfang Bubai's is really too big.

Even if Chu Yuan had not intervened to stop him, he would not be a match for Dongfang Bubai.

Just now he was about to die at the hands of Dongfang Bubai. If Chu Yuan and his daughter Yingying had not asked for his help, he would probably be dead now.

"father……"

Ren Yingying stood by, looking at her disheartened father, but didn't know how to comfort him.

After witnessing the power of masters like Chu Yuan, Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang, and Zhang Sanfeng, it is indeed impossible for people to even think about competing with them.

I had never seen these people in action before, and had no idea how strong they were. Now I finally see it.

I just hope her dad can figure it out on his own!

Moreover, Chu Yuan also said that the "Star Absorbing Technique" practiced by her father had great drawbacks.

If her father became disheartened and no longer thought about seeking revenge on Dongfang Bubai, and lived in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain with her and Chu Yuan, learning some Taoist scriptures or Qingcheng Taoist martial arts, perhaps her father could live longer!
……

The battle between Chu Yuan, Dongfang Bubai, Zhang Sanfeng and Feng Qingyang is in full swing.

After some tentative fights, everyone had a simple understanding of each other's strengths and then showed off their best skills.

Chu Yuan used his own "Nine Heavens Qi"...

Dongfang Bubai tied red threads to the embroidery needles he threw. In Dongfang Bubai's hands, more than a dozen embroidery needles tied with red threads were like weapons that could be used by his arms. They were no longer simple hidden weapons, but weapons that could be retracted or even turned...

Feng Qingyang then used his "Nine Swords of Dugu" which had reached the threshold of the swordless realm, advancing without retreat, and being invincible...

Zhang Sanfeng then used the Tai Chi Sword Technique, which contained the mysteries of yin and yang. The halo of the sword and shield that had originally been thrust out turned into black and white. The white one was responsible for defense, and the black one was responsible for attack...

Because the fight between the four people made too much noise, everyone was afraid of being affected.

All the people in the martial arts world went down from the top of Luoyan Peak and stood on the ridge below the peak to watch the battle, leaving the entire top of Luoyan Peak to these four people!

Chu Yuan was seen using the "Nine Heavens Gangqi" to protect his body and become invulnerable to swords and spears!
Be it Dongfang Bubai's red embroidery needle that flashed like silver light and was wielded by his arms, Feng Qingyang's "Nine Swords of Dugu", or Zhang Sanfeng's "Tai Chi Swordsmanship", none of them could break Chu Yuan's protective aura for a while.

Only from time to time, when the attacks were directed at Chu Yuan, they were blocked by the protective energy, leaving behind only tinkling sounds and dazzling sparks.

Chu Yuan would not stand there and allow the three men to attack him.

With the protection of "Nine Heavens Gangqi", Chu Yuan used various sword techniques such as "Bixie Sword Technique", "Tian Dun Sword Technique", "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword" and so on to deal with the three people with ease.

“This is the Nine Heavens Qi that is said to be invulnerable to swords and spears and is feared by the martial arts world. Even this leader cannot break this protective Qi for a while. It is truly magical!”

Dongfang Bubai used his Qi to control the needles. The dozen or so embroidery needles tied with red threads were like a dozen tiny tentacles, constantly stabbing towards Chu Yuan.

Chu Yuan dodged and moved flexibly, using the long sword in his hand to block most of the attacks from the embroidery needles tied with red threads, but a few of them still pierced Chu Yuan.

However, they were all blocked by the protective energy around Chu Yuan's body. Apart from making tinkling sounds on Chu Yuan's body, they could not hurt Chu Yuan at all.

"This martial art has also been heard of by me. It is said that it was created by Taoist Priest Chu. He is truly a genius to be able to create such a miraculous skill at such a young age."

Feng Qingyang only advanced and never retreated. After finding the flaw in Chu Yuan's sword moves, he stabbed towards Chu Yuan's lower abdomen. Unfortunately, it was still blocked by Chu Yuan's protective qi and he couldn't hurt Chu Yuan at all. Just as he was stunned, Chu Yuan's sword came along. Feng Qingyang didn't have Chu Yuan's protective qi that made him invulnerable to swords and spears, so he could only turn around and fly back to avoid Chu Yuan's sword moves.

"This skill is unique, even better than the Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Boxing created by the old Taoist priest!"

The black halo that Zhang Sanfeng stabbed at Chu Yuan was blocked, and he looked somewhat helpless.

He also began to create martial arts on a large scale. He was nearly a hundred years old when he created the famous Tai Chi Sword and Tai Chi Boxing.

He is the same age as Chu Yuan. He is just a young man who has just started out in the martial arts world and has not even founded the Wudang Sect.

In this regard, he felt that Chu Yuanchu was much stronger than he was back then.

When the spectators heard Zhang Sanfeng's words, they who had originally speculated about Zhang Sanfeng's identity finally confirmed that this was Zhang Sanfeng, the famous martial arts master who founded the Wudang Sect, as famous as the Shaolin Temple's Bodhidharma.

"It's really him?"

"I didn't expect he was still alive!"

"He was from the Southern Song Dynasty, right?"

"He has lived for more than 200 years. This Zhang Sanfeng must have become an immortal, right?"

"Yeah, how can a mortal live to be over 200 years old?"

"I didn't expect that he would be attracted to the Huashan Sword Contest this time!"

The people watching the battle on the ridge of Luoyan Peak were talking about it.

"Zhang Sanfeng, he's still alive. No wonder he's so powerful. I was wondering where the Wudang Sect got this expert from!"

Yue Buqun was somewhat surprised and surprised to hear that even Zhang Sanfeng, the founder of Wudang, had shown up. "Dad, after going through the Song, Yuan, and Ming dynasties, Zhang Sanfeng is still alive. Is he still a human being?"

Yue Lingshan secretly smacked her lips.

I'm afraid no one in the world could have imagined that Zhang Zhenren, who founded the Wudang Sect, is still alive.

"As people age, they become more intelligent. They are no longer ordinary people."

Yue Buqun shook his head.

"Zhang Sanfeng, I didn't expect that my brother Chu's Huashan Sword Contest would attract such an old monster to come out!"

Ren Woxing said in surprise.

"Dad, if it's really Zhang Sanfeng, then he must have lived for more than 200 years. Is there really anyone in this world who can live for more than 200 years?"

Ren Yingying found it a little unbelievable.

In this era, for ordinary people, living to fifty is considered a long life. Could it be that an old Taoist priest who has lived for more than two hundred years has become an immortal?
"Isn't this a fact that is right in front of us? Those Taoist priests like to study immortality when they have nothing to do. Plus, there are so many legends of Taoists ascending to heaven. Maybe Zhang Sanfeng really lived for more than two hundred years."

Let me do what I want.

Ren Yingying suddenly remembered that there was a martial art in the Qingcheng Sect created by Chu Yuan that could keep one’s appearance forever!

Other Taoist sects might have martial arts that could prolong life and achieve immortality. When she thought about it this way, it seemed much more reasonable.

As Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang and Zhang Sanfeng fought, they discovered that they had changed the way they fought without realizing it.

From the beginning, each fighting on his own, one against the other three!
Now there are three of them, besieging Chu Yuan alone.

The main reason is that Chu Yuan has an invulnerable aura protecting his body. They can't hurt Chu Yuan, but Chu Yuan can hurt them.

In other words, Chu Yuan suddenly became the biggest threat among the four.

In order to protect themselves, they changed the way they fought without realizing it.

It changed from one against three to three against one.

Dongfang Bubai said: "Brother Chu, you actually fought against the three of us alone!"

Zhang Sanfeng: "Young people are to be feared!"

Feng Qingyang: "His swordsmanship seems to have improved rapidly during his fight with us."

To be honest, Chu Yuan felt that he was definitely no match for Feng Qingyang when it came to swordsmanship.

Fortunately, whether it was his self-created "Tiandun Sword Technique", the "Bixie Sword Technique" practiced together with the "Sunflower Manual", or the "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword" inherited from the Heavenly Master in the Heavenly Master Hall, they were all incredibly powerful, so he could barely rely on his swordsmanship to deal with the three of them.

Especially the "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Swords", which has the unpredictable power of ghosts and gods.

Even the dragon and tiger sword energy he slashed out was incredibly powerful and could split a huge rock in one blow.

In this one-on-three situation, the pressure was enormous, so Chu Yuan's understanding of swordsmanship continued to deepen.

The reason why Chu Yuan’s swordsmanship had always remained at the level of emitting sword energy.

It’s all because of Chu Yuan. I didn’t have a better opponent before.

It just so happens that these three opponents are all rare and peerless masters in the world.

Especially Feng Qingyang, his swordsmanship level is the highest in the world.

When he attacked Chu Yuan, Chu Yuan saw it all.

Chu Yuan continued to comprehend his so-called swordless realm.

After a short fight, Chu Yuan's understanding of swordsmanship has been greatly enhanced.

Chu Yuan's swordsmanship improved amazingly. From the beginning, Feng Qingyang relied on his much higher swordsmanship level to suppress Chu Yuan. However, as Chu Yuan's swordsmanship comprehension improved, the three swordsmanship, "Bixie Sword", "Tiandun Sword" and "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword", became more and more powerful in his hands. Feng Qingyang felt that it was becoming increasingly difficult to deal with Chu Yuan with swordsmanship.

Especially the sword technique that Chu Yuan can use to slash out the dragon and tiger sword energy is definitely not inferior to "Nine Swords of Dugu", and even better.

Unfortunately, Chu Yuan seemed to have just comprehended this sword technique and did not have a deep understanding of it.

Even so, he was already starting to feel a little overwhelmed.

If this continues for a long time, it won't be long before the three of them join forces to fight one, and there is a possibility that they will be defeated by Chu Yuan. That would be really embarrassing.

"No, we have to break his protective Qi first, then we can fight fairly. The old man has a Qi-breaking style that is specifically designed to break superior internal skills. This "Nine Heavens Qi" is also a kind of internal skill. The old man's Qi-breaking style should be able to break it. The two of you help the old man to restrain him."

Then Feng Qingyang said.

Although Chu Yuan had protective Qi around his body, his speed was not slow.

For example, the ghostly Dongfang Bubai is just a bit slower. In comparison, neither Zhang Sanfeng nor Feng Qingyang can catch up with Chu Yuan.

So most of their attacks were dodged by Chu Yuan.

Dongfang Bubai: "No problem, I will help restrain him."

Zhang Sanfeng also said: "Let's slow him down, and you wait for the opportunity to attack!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than ten embroidery needles from Dongfang Bubai came out at the same time, spinning in the air, forming an elliptical red silk cocoon that trapped Chu Yuan firmly in place.

Zhang Sanfeng also had the black and white light circles around his body running at the same time, pressing towards Chu Yuan together, trying to trap Chu Yuan in place.

The two peerless masters' simultaneous attacks did indeed slow down Chu Yuan's movement speed.

Seeing that Chu Yuan had just escaped from the two people's targeting, Feng Qingyang attacked Chu Yuan with his sword. The sword light was dazzling, and a strong wind swept across the top of Luoyan Peak, accompanied by the burst of cold invisible sword energy.

There was a two-meter-long and half-foot-wide sword-energy gully on the top of Luoyan Peak.

boom!
After a loud sound of metal hitting metal, rocks burst open.

White cracks appeared on the surface of Chu Yuan's body, like broken eggshells.

Click!

As the sound of cracking became louder and louder, it finally seemed like something broke, and the crack disappeared.

Chu Yuan felt that his protective Qi was broken during Feng Qingyang's Qi-breaking move.

After creating "Jiuxiao Gangqi", he thought that there would always be a time when he would meet a master who could forcibly break through his protective qi!

I didn't expect that this day would actually come.

The protective qi of "Nine Heavens Gangqi" was broken, and Chu Yuan temporarily lost the means to make himself invulnerable to swords and guns.

Seeing that Chu Yuan's protective qi was broken, Dongfang Bubai, Zhang Sanfeng and Feng Qingyang attacked again, but this time they did not attack Chu Yuan together, but continued to fight together with one against three.

Without the protective qi, Chu Yuan was not panicked, but it was as if his clothes had been stripped off, making him feel insecure.

Fighting in this situation also made him feel like he was dancing on a tightrope.

In addition, the feeling of no longer relying on the protective qi of "Nine Heavens Qi" also gave Chu Yuan a feeling of breaking out of his own cage.

All the scenes from previous sword practice, as well as his previous insights into swordsmanship, appeared alternately in Chu Yuan's mind...

When this picture in his mind reached its peak, Chu Yuan broke free of some of his own shackles and gained a new understanding of swordsmanship.

"What is swordsmanship?"

"Swordsmanship is the technique of using a sword, and it is also a method of killing people!"

"What is No Sword?"

“No sword does not mean there is no sword, but the sword is in the heart. Since there is a sword in the heart, it does not matter whether there is a sword in the hand or not.”

Chu Yuan suddenly realized.

He felt that he had also stepped into the threshold of being swordless.

As long as I find a place to retreat after this competition is over, I will enter the realm of being without a sword.

Now recalling the sword techniques such as "Bixie Sword Technique", "Tian Dun Sword Technique" and "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword", he felt that his previous understanding of sword was too superficial and he could only see the most superficial things.

Now he can see something deeper about swordsmanship.

Now that he has stepped into the swordless realm, even ordinary swordsmanship can turn decay into magic in his hands.

Not to mention the "Bixie Sword Technique", "Tiandun Sword Technique" and "Male and Female Dragon and Tiger Sword", which are the top sword techniques in the martial arts world.

Chu Yuan held a long sword in his hand. The next moment, he circled around Dongfang Bubai, Zhang Sanfeng, and Feng Qingyang, and stabbed the three men at the same position on their right shoulders.

By the time the three men reacted, they found that there was a sword mark on their clothes, but Chu Yuan had already left.

Compared to Dongfang Bubai, Chu Yuan now looks more like a ghost!
