Chapter 128 Invincible
"Brother Chu, how come the power of your swordsmanship has increased so much all of a sudden?"

Dongfang Bubai was the fastest among the three masters. Seeing that Chu Yuan was even faster than him, he was surprised.

"Little friend Chu has made a breakthrough in swordsmanship. Just like me, an old man, he has reached the threshold of being swordless."

It was Feng Qingyang, who had the highest level of swordsmanship, who first noticed it. He said thoughtfully.

Just for a moment, he realized that Chu Yuan was like a sharp sword.

This is the state of having a sword in the heart but no sword in the hand.

They had just broken Chu Yuan's protective qi, but who knew that Chu Yuan had reached the threshold of the swordless realm again. His strength had increased tremendously, and it seemed that he was still stronger than them.

"With Mr. Chu's strength, if we want to fight you, we need to join forces!"

Zhang Sanfeng said.

Zhang Sanfeng once again proposed a joint effort.

Seeing that Chu Yuan was so powerful, he felt only relief and excitement.

It is gratifying that there is such a martial arts genius in the world.

What made him excited was that in his last battle of his life, he met a strong opponent like Chu Yuan.

"bring it on!"

Chu Yuan stood with his sword horizontally.

Having reached the swordless realm, his swordsmanship and strength have improved significantly, so he is not afraid even when facing three peerless masters joining forces.

"excuse me!"

"Having a friend and rival like Brother Chu, my life is not in vain!"

"Your swordsmanship has reached the threshold of no sword. Young friend Chu's title of Qingcheng Sword Immortal is finally worthy of its name!"

Zhang Sanfeng, Dongfang Bubai and Feng Qingyang spoke one after another.

Then they joined forces and fought Chu Yuan again!

Chu Yuan was alone with a sword, and the sword light followed him.

He started fighting with the three greatest masters of the time in front of him.

The reason why Chu Yuan was able to use his long sword to pierce a tiny sword mark on the clothes of the three people at the shoulder in an instant was that the three people were still thinking of fighting one against three and did not remain on guard against Chu Yuan.

At this time, the three of them clearly joined forces to deal with Chu Yuan. For a moment, all their attention was focused on Chu Yuan, and Chu Yuan was under great pressure.

Even Chu Yuan would not dare to underestimate the three peerless masters of the time when they joined forces, not to mention that Chu Yuan no longer had the protective qi.

Fortunately, Chu Yuan's swordsmanship has greatly improved, and he can handle the siege of three people with ease.

He can always find the right timing to neutralize the attacks of the three people and counterattack.

This fight lasted for a full half hour, with snow still falling from the sky, and the fight lasted until the sky cleared up after the snow.

The sunlight shines on the snow on the peaks of Mount Huashan, reflecting colorful and brilliant light.

After more than two hundred moves, wherever the three men passed, there was a mess.

The entire top of Luoyan Peak has changed drastically, as if it had been plowed and dug, and has become much flatter from its original pointed cone shape.

The stone walls built by the masters who came to participate in the Huashan Sword Contest to avoid the wind and snow, including the simple stone house built by Chu Yuan, have now completely disappeared without a trace. Only rubble can be seen everywhere on the top of Luoyan Peak.

On the surface, the two sides seemed to be evenly matched, but in fact, Chu Yuan already knew how to defeat the three men.

After he touched the threshold of the swordless realm, the martial arts of the three people that he had thought were very powerful before began to have flaws in Chu Yuan's eyes and were not as impeccable as before.

After such a long fight, he has already figured out the details of the three people.

Dongfang Bubai practiced the "Sunflower Manual" and "Bixie Sword Manual", which he controlled with his Qi and connected with red lines at the back, like those embroidery needles driven by his arms, which were actually more like more than a dozen small swords.

Every attack on these embroidery needles bears more or less traces of sword techniques.

Dongfang Bubai controlled these embroidery needles with traces of sword techniques, and in the midst of the flying red threads and silver light, it was as if there were more than a dozen swords attacking Chu Yuan from different directions.

But Chu Yuan was extremely fast and dodged with all his strength, so these embroidery needles could only pierce the afterimage left by Chu Yuan at the original place.

Chu Yuan felt something and suddenly took a few steps back.

A flash of sword light appeared, and Feng Qingyang flipped in the air, like an antelope hanging on a horn, and stabbed Chu Yuan with a sword without leaving any trace. This was the sword-breaking style in "Nine Swords of Dugu" that was specifically designed to break sword techniques.

The power of "Nine Swords of Dugu" is indeed amazing. It can be said that it can only attack and not defend, and can only advance and not retreat.

In the battle just now, the ones who launched the most attacks on Chu Yuan were Feng Qingyang and Dongfang Bubai.

If it were in the past, facing Feng Qingyang's sharp sword, Chu Yuan would definitely be at a loss, or simply rely on his body's protective qi to deal with it.

But at this time, Chu Yuan's protective qi was broken, and he was no longer protected by it.

In a flash, seeing that Feng Qingyang's sword was less than three feet away from him, Chu Yuan used a move from the "Qingfeng Sword Technique" called "Qingfeng Fuliu". He stood with his legs in a bow stance and thrust his sword diagonally upwards, thus breaking Feng Qingyang's sword-breaking move that came from mid-air.

Feng Qingyang sensed the danger and immediately flew back in the air, retracting the sword that was stabbing at Chu Yuan. Otherwise, he would be the one who got hurt.

"Qingfeng Sword Technique" is the entry-level sword technique of the Qingcheng Sect. The first sword technique Chu Yuan learned when he was practicing martial arts was "Qingfeng Sword Technique". The sword moves are simple and the power is mediocre, but after Chu Yuan touched the threshold of being swordless, this entry-level sword technique with mediocre power can also be used by Chu Yuan to break "Nine Swords of Dugu", which can be said to turn decay into magic.

After forcing Feng Qingyang back with sword moves, Chu Yuan suddenly changed his moves and used the "Tiandun Sword Technique" to chop straight with a strong sword. The sword body vibrated and sword energy swept in all directions. It was obviously a soft and thin sword, but in Chu Yuan's hands, it seemed like an unstoppable heavy sword.

The long sword turned and chopped at all the people around him, stabbing at himself. In the silver light, several red threads connected to the back of the embroidery needle were cut off by Chu Yuan's long sword.

In the blink of an eye, Chu Yuan had quickly arrived within a few feet of Dongfang Bubai.

After Dongfang Bubai lost his speed advantage, he lost his advantage in front of Chu Yuan and began to become timid.

Seeing that her embroidery needle could not pose any threat to Chu Yuan.

Dongfang Bubai flew backwards, putting some distance between himself and Chu Yuan.

While taking out a few embroidery needles, he dragged the red thread and wrapped it around several huge rocks with a diameter of half a meter or one meter nearby. The huge rocks weighing dozens of kilograms or two or three hundred kilograms were swung by Dongfang Bubai and continuously thrown towards Chu Yuan, hoping to stop Chu Yuan's steps.

This happened almost in an instant, and taking this opportunity, Chu Yuan was ready to defeat the three people.

Because Chu Yuan and Dongfang Bubai were fighting so fast, to outsiders, it looked like the red and black figures were about to intersect in an instant.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Dongfang Bubai kept throwing stones to try to stop Chu Yuan from getting closer.

Seeing that Dongfang Bubai was in a bad situation, Zhang Sanfeng and Feng Qingyang worked together to rush to Dongfang Bubai's aid, but it was too late.

Chu Yuan swung the sword in his hand, and several dragon and tiger-shaped sword qi slashed out from the sword. Dongfang Bubai used the red line to throw large and small stones at Chu Yuan, and all of them broke into pieces in the air and fell to the ground.

"This leader has been defeated!"

Seeing that Chu Yuan was already in front of him with the sword pointing at his neck, Dongfang Bubai admitted defeat very straightforwardly.

In addition, he and Chu Yuan had fought for nearly three hundred moves before, so it was not shameful to be defeated by Chu Yuan.

But when he thought about how he had always thought that he was the best martial artist in the world, he didn't expect that even when he, Feng Qingyang, and Zhang Sanfeng joined forces, they were no match for his good brother Chu Yuan. He felt really ashamed.

"The Eastern Sect Leader has admitted defeat. There are only two of us left. We are no match for Chu Xiaoyou. Let's admit defeat too."

"Yes, we also admit defeat."

Seeing Dongfang Bubai admit defeat, Feng Qingyang and Zhang Sanfeng also stopped.

Including the previous fights, they had fought for a total of three or four hundred moves.

After fighting to this extent, it's time to decide the winner.

Before, even when the three of them joined forces, they were still no match for Chu Yuan. Now that one of them has been defeated, there is no point in the remaining two dragging it out any longer.

At most they can drag on for a few dozen more moves, but they will still be defeated.

"You fought three masters alone, and you defeated us, Chu, you are the best martial artist in the world."

Feng Qingyang sighed.

He had never met such a powerful young man in his life.

……

"Brother Chu won this competition!"

Seeing that the winner was Chu Yuan, Ren Yingying, who was standing on a ridge not far away, said happily.

"I didn't expect that my brother Chu's martial arts skills were so high. Even the powerful Dongfang Bubai, Zhang Sanfeng who has lived for hundreds of years, and Feng Qingyang, the master of the Huashan Sect's sword sect, are no match for my son-in-law."

Seeing Chu Yuan win, Ren Woxing stroked his beard and smiled.

"Dad, Brother Chu's martial arts are so strong."

Ren Yingying felt proud in her heart.

"Yingying, you have defeated those three people. Brother Chu is now invincible. You are the undisputed number one in the world."

Ren Woxing said to Ren Yingying.

Then he looked at Dongfang Bubai, his expression changed, and he began to become proud and complacent again.

Ren Woxing said: "It doesn't matter if Dongfang Bubai is a powerful old thief. No matter how powerful he is, can he be more powerful than my son-in-law? He was still defeated by my son-in-law!"

Xiang Wentian said: "Master, since Taoist Chu is so powerful in martial arts and is the husband of Saint Aunt, if we can get Taoist Chu to support us in taking back the position of Master, our seizure of power will be a sure thing..."

Ren Woxing interrupted Xiang Wentian and said, "He is just the leader of the Sun Moon Sect. It doesn't matter now. I married my daughter to this kid Chu not to win him over to help me seize power. Let Yingying talk about this matter. Whether Chu agrees or not is another matter. It will definitely affect their relationship, and I will be ridiculed by the whole world, saying that I married Yingying to Chu just to win him over for revenge and power. Don't talk about this matter again..."

Ren Yingying heaved a sigh of relief when she heard her father's words. She was a smart woman and knew that if her father really asked her to go to Chu Yuan to say this, she would be in a dilemma.

If she agrees, it will definitely affect the relationship between her and Chu Yuan.

If she doesn't agree, she will feel sorry for her father.

It would be best if her father could judge the severity of the matter himself!

Xiang Wentian listened to Woxing's words and could only say helplessly: "Yes, Master."

Ren Woxing thought for a moment and said, "Xiang Zuoshi, don't call me the leader anymore. I have been in Qingcheng Mountain for a while and I think being a Taoist priest is pretty good. I will live in seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain with Yingying from now on. If Xiang Zuoshi is willing, you can come with me. If not, you can find your own place to go!"

The crushing defeat he just suffered against Dongfang Bubai had given him an epiphany, and he had completely woken up from his previous dream of power.

In terms of martial arts, he is far inferior to Dongfang Bubai, and his hope of taking back the position of leader of the Sun Moon Sect from Dongfang Bubai is slim.

As for the current situation in the martial arts world, even if he regained the position of the leader of the Sun Moon Sect, with the Qingcheng Sect, the Five Mountains Sect, Shaolin, and Wudang sects around, there would be no room for his ambitions and power.

"Master, Xiang Wentian is loyal to you and will never change his mind. Wherever you go, Xiang Wentian will go."

Xiang Wentian immediately expressed his attitude.

He knew that the reason why the leader gave up revenge and seizing power was entirely because he met too many masters at this Huashan Sword Contest, which made him disheartened for a while.

"That's good. Actually, being a Taoist priest is not bad."

Let me do what I want.

In fact, the most important reason that prompted him to change his mind was what Chu Yuan said when he came down the mountain.

He said that the "Star Absorbing Technique" he practiced had drawbacks, and if he continued to practice it, he would only have one or two years to live.

He, who used to be obsessed with revenge and seizing power, didn't believe it at all.

But at this time, the desire for revenge and seizing power is gone, and people become afraid of death.

He only hoped that after his seclusion in Qingcheng Mountain, he could live longer.

"Junior sister, we won, uncle won!"

Seeing Chu Yuan win, Lin Pingzhi, who was standing with Qu Feiyan, said happily.

"Of course, don't you see who my master is?"

Yue Lingshan looked so proud that she almost announced to the others around her that the winner at the top of Luoyan Peak was her master.

From now on, she is not only the disciple of Qingcheng Sword Immortal, but also the best disciple in the world.

"I never thought that my uncle's martial arts skills would be so high!"

Lin Pingzhi sighed.

These are Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang, and Zhang Sanfeng!
Any one of them is the best master in the world.

Uncle Master Chu Yuan fought against three people alone and actually won. He was simply invincible in the world.

"Chu Yuan is so strong that even Zhang Sanfeng, Dongfang Bubai, and Master Feng together are no match for him."

Not far away, Yue Buqun saw this scene and muttered to himself.

This was a huge blow to him.

Before, he thought that he would have a chance to seek revenge on Chu Yuan.

Now it seems that he was really daydreaming.

"Master, you were able to make Zhang Sanfeng, Dongfang Bubai, and Master Feng join forces, and even defeated all three of them. Taoist Chu's martial arts are invincible and the best in the world."

Linghu Chong said from the side.

Although the previous events created a rift between the master and the disciple.

However, the caring words just now from his junior sister Yue Lingshan made Linghu Chong forgive his master.

"Number one in the world!"

"Haha, number one in the world!"

"He has become the best in the world. What does that mean to me who even castrated myself to practice the Sword Manual of Exorcism?"

"A joke for the world to laugh at?"

Yue Buqun laughed wildly with a distorted face, looking like a madman.

If Yue Lingshan hadn't supported him, Yue Buqun would have fallen to the ground.

The other martial artists nearby, seeing Yue Buqun's crazy look, all looked at him with pity.

In order to fight against the Songshan School and dominate the martial arts world, Yue Buqun did not hesitate to castrate himself to practice martial arts.

Now it seems that I have become a joke in the eyes of others!
"Number one in the world!"

Master Jin Guang and Taoist Song Wen looked at each other, and a hint of joy flashed in their eyes.

Although the Emei Sect did not win the Huashan Sword Contest this time, Chu Yuan fought alone against three of them and defeated the combined forces of Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang, and Zhang Sanfeng.

Considering the alliance between Emei Sect and Qingcheng Sect, this can be considered an unexpected surprise.

……

"That's right, the young are formidable. It is a blessing for the martial arts world to have a genius like Chu Xiaoyou in the martial arts world."

Zhang Sanfeng said to Chu Yuan from the side.

The great battle not only consumed most of the internal energy in his Dantian, but also completely destroyed the little innate vitality he had left.

At this time, his hair and beard were as white as snow, and his skin, which was originally as tender as a baby's, was now covered with wrinkles. His whole body was aging at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Senior, you..."

When Chu Yuan saw the changes in Zhang Sanfeng, he became a little worried.

"It's nothing. I have lived to the end of my life. But before I leave, I am content to have a fight with you, little friend Chu."

Zhang Sanfeng smiled.

At this time, Taoist Chongxu saw that his ancestor's appearance was undergoing drastic changes. He knew that his ancestor would not live long, so he returned to Luoyan Peak.

Taoist Chongxu asked worriedly, "Grandmaster, is there no way to keep you alive?"

Zhang Sanfeng shook his head and said, "I can't help it. I have lived for more than two hundred years. I have lived enough."

As he spoke, he walked step by step towards the cliff on the east side of Luoyan Peak.

Standing on the edge of the cliff, Zhang Sanfeng looked back at Taoist Chongxu and said, "Chongxu, Wudang Sect is now handed over to you. You must know that the Wudang Sect was able to become the leader of the righteous sect in such a short period of time, not by suppressing other sects."

After saying this, Zhang Sanfeng took a step forward, and he, along with the snow on the edge of the cliff, fell into the abyss under the cliff at the top of Luoyan Peak.

"Ancestor!"

Taoist Chongxu was moved.

He looked sad and cried.

Chu Yuan, Feng Qingyang and Dongfang Bubai were silent for a while.

With their martial arts skills, they had a chance to rescue Zhang Sanfeng before he jumped off the cliff.

But the problem is, judging from Zhang Sanfeng's drastically changing facial expression, even if they rescued Zhang Sanfeng, this martial arts master would probably not live long.

In this case, it would be better to fulfill Zhang Sanfeng's wish.

Click!

Sudden……

The ground beneath the feet of Chu Yuan, Feng Qingyang, Dongfang Bubai, and Chongxu made a loud noise.

Then three cracks appeared from the middle to the area due east.

It is not known whether it was the heavy snow in the past few days that caused too much snow to accumulate on the top of the peak, causing the peak to crack, or the battle between Chu Yuan, Dongfang Bubai, Feng Qingyang, and Zhang Sanfeng that damaged the structure of the top of Luoyan Peak and caused the ground to crack.

And after the three gaps appeared, they were constantly expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Oh no! The top of Luoyan Peak is about to collapse. Everyone, get down the mountain quickly."

Taoist Chongxu was the first to react. He ran towards the ridge below the top of Luoyan Peak.

"Brother Chu, retreat quickly!"

Ren Yingying, who was standing on the ridge, saw this scene and her expression changed drastically. She shouted at Chu Yuan on the top of the mountain.

She wanted to rush to the top of the mountain to save Chu Yuan, but because he was too far away, it was too late.

When Chu Yuan, Feng Qingyang and Dongfang Bubai realized that the top of Luoyan Peak was about to collapse, they immediately used their Qinggong skills to transform into three phantoms and flew towards the mountain ridge together.

Rumble!
Before Chu Yuan, Feng Qingyang and Dongfang Bubai retreated from the top of Luoyan Peak, cracks began to widen on the top of the peak. After a loud bang, a large area to the east collapsed and fell off the cliff.

The disturbed snow blocked the figures of Chu Yuan, Feng Qingyang, Dongfang Bubai and Chongxu.
