Chapter 423 Battle at Wuliang Mountain

Chapter 423 Battle at Wuliang Mountain

Wuliangshan is a sect that specializes in sword training.

As one of the Thirteen Huawai Sects, it is famous for its fierce attack style and exquisite swordsmanship.

This also resulted in the disciples of Wuliangshan often having the upper hand when they were at the same level.

The only shortcoming is that its internal strength and mental skills are relatively average, resulting in its poor continuous combat ability.

Even so, Wuliang Mountain's status is still very transcendent.

It was precisely for this reason that Wuliangshan was very dissatisfied with the Canglong Order issued by Zhao Ya, and even ridiculed it in every possible way, thinking that Canglong Temple or Zhao Ya were simply making a fuss out of a molehill, and even wanted to take this opportunity to achieve their own ulterior motives. the goal of.

Zhao Ya already knew all about this.

Now before the team reaches Wuliang Mountain, they naturally have to make a decision.

In fact, there was no need for Zhao Ya to go up the mountain. The people up and down Wuliang Mountain had already heard the news when the team was still more than a hundred miles away.

When he heard that Canglong Mountain was "coercing" Tianyi Pavilion, Ziyan Chuanlinzhai, Qingjing Chanyuan and other sects to come together, Yin Jiaxiong, the then master of Wuliang Mountain, did not have the slightest fear, but instead sneered repeatedly.

"I really didn't expect that this guy He Nandou would actually give Canglong Temple a bad foot."

"Mountain Master, these people obviously come with bad intentions, how should we deal with them?" At this time, an elder from Wuliang Mountain asked.

"The soldiers are coming to cover up the water and earth. Pass my sword order and all the disciples and elders above the fifth realm in Wuliang Mountain will come down the mountain. I want to see how capable this Zhao Ya is."

Yin Jiaxiong said coldly, his face full of arrogance.

He does have the capital to be arrogant.

As the mountain master of Wuliang Mountain, Yin Jiaxiong began practicing swordsmanship at the age of seven and showed amazing talent in swordsmanship.

By the time he was eighteen years old, his attainments in swordsmanship were already the first among the young disciples of Wuliang Mountain at that time.

Later, he succeeded in ascending to the throne of the Lord of Wuliang Mountain, and became famous in the world with his outstanding swordsmanship.

Although he is nearly fifty years old now, the arrogant aura in Yin Jiaxiong has not faded, but has become more and more obvious.

Just like the Tingfeng Sword in his hand, it became more and more sharp.

One can imagine how such a person would be willing to obey the Canglong Order issued by a junior in his eyes.

After receiving the sword order from the mountain master, the entire Wuliang Mountain moved in response.

Although the sword order said that all elders and disciples above the fifth level should go down the mountain, how could the other disciples with shallow cultivation be willing to give up such a rare excitement, so they all followed quietly down the mountain.

Yin Jiaxiong ignored these people.

At this time, he stood on the huge sword-breaking stone at the foot of Wuliang Mountain, letting the cold mountain wind blow his clothes and hair, and then narrowed his eyes, quietly waiting for the arrival of Zhao Ya and others.

The distance of a hundred miles is only half an hour's journey for this team composed of many sects.

Therefore, Yin Jiaxiong didn't have to wait long before he saw the sky filled with smoke and dust, and then a mighty team rushed towards here.

When they were still three or four miles away from the bottom of the mountain, the team stopped.

This distance may be far away for ordinary people, but for a martial arts master of Yin Jiaxiong's level, it is as if it is right in front of his eyes.

Therefore, he could see He Nandou, Shangguan Jianmei and others in front of the team at a glance.

They have been acquaintances for many years, and they can tell each other's thoughts just by looking at each other.

Yin Jiaxiong sneered in his heart, and then turned his attention to the man in the middle of the team.

No need to ask, this should be the most famous young master in the Outer Worlds in recent years.

Even though the two sides were in a state of hostility, after seeing Zhao Ya, Yin Jiaxiong had to admit that this young and outrageous man did have his own uniqueness.

Not to mention anything else, just his unique temperament is heart-breaking.

Coupled with the heroic but delicate facial features and the tall and straight sword-like figure, anyone who sees him will have to praise him as heroic.

But as a martial arts master, Yin Jiaxiong certainly doesn't value these external skins.

He noticed at a glance that Zhao Ya's aura was not leaking, and he could not even see the slightest fluctuation in his real power.

This is obviously a sign that his skill has reached its peak.

At this time, Zhao Ya also felt Yin Jiaxiong's prying eyes, so he raised his eyes slightly and looked over.

The two sides looked at each other from a distance.

Yin Jiaxiong was shocked.

Because Zhao Ya's eyes are like a bottomless pool, even though they are far apart, people can't help but indulge in them.

Very strong!

Even stronger than rumored!

Yin Jiaxiong immediately made a judgment, put away all his previous contempt, and his expression became serious.

Zhao Ya naturally noticed Yin Jiaxiong.

In fact, it's impossible not to notice him.

Because Yin Jiaxiong was the only one in the audience standing on the huge rock at the foot of the mountain, with his hands behind his back and his clothes flowing, giving him the appearance of a master.

Zhao Ya made a judgment immediately.

This should be the owner of Wuliang Mountain.

He is indeed the most slutty swordsman!

Even at this time, don’t forget to show off.

Of course, Zhao Ya did not show contempt at all, but became more cautious.

Because the most important thing for sword cultivators is the indomitable momentum.

And this Yin Jiaxiong is obviously a master who knows this well.

He stood among the boulders and waited. It was indeed part of the reason for showing off, but more importantly, he was nourishing his energy and gaining momentum.

In this way, as long as you show the slightest hint of cowardice, the other party will first overwhelm you in terms of momentum.

Thinking of this, Zhao Ya raised the corner of his mouth slightly, revealing a cold smile.

It's interesting. This Yin Jiaxiong and the entire Wuliang Mountain are really interesting.

Then Zhao Ya slowly pulled out the saber from his waist and pointed the tip of the saber at Yin Jiaxiong in the distance.

Although he didn't say anything, the meaning was already obvious.

That is war!

Yin Jiaxiong's pupils shrank instantly, and then a solemn look appeared on his face.

Even though the tip of the knife was pointed at an angle and several miles apart, Yin Jiaxiong still felt the surging sword intent.

But it was this sword intent that instantly inspired the raging fighting spirit in Yin Jiaxiong's heart.

He felt as if the blood all over his body was boiling, but his whole aura became calmer and calmer.

Then he slowly pulled out the Tingfeng Sword worn on his waist and pointed the tip of the sword directly at Zhao Ya.

Ding!

A layer of invisible ripples appeared in the air, and they collided with each other in an instant, making a crisp sound of gold and iron.

Immediately afterwards, in the middle of the confrontation between the two sides, the vegetation was silently shattered.

That was caused by the overflowing breath.

Although the two sides haven't set off yet, they have already made a move.

He Nandou's expression couldn't help but become solemn.

To be honest, he was a little unsure just now. He didn't know whether Zhao Ya could defeat Yin Jiaxiong.

Although Zhao Ya is indeed very strong, Yin Jiaxiong is not a vegetarian.

Its fighting power is so powerful that even he is quite afraid of it.

And if Zhao Ya loses, then this expedition will be meaningless.

All the previous planning was in vain.

But now this blow gave He Nandou reassurance.

At least in terms of momentum, Zhao Ya did not fall behind.

At this moment, Zhao Ya disappeared in a flash.

Also missing at the same time was Yin Jiaxiong on the Jie Jian Stone.

The next second, a loud noise was heard in the air.

boom!

Many people were shocked to the point where their eardrums hurt, and those with weaker strength even showed pain on their faces.

But no one cared about this, everyone turned their attention to the center of the battlefield.

On the open space, two figures separated at the first touch, but then rushed towards each other at a faster speed.

And every time there is contact, there will be the sound of gold and iron, and dazzling sparks will splash out.

Everyone watched with bated breath.

Shangguan Jianmei was also paying full attention, but after watching for a while, she was shocked to find that her eyes could not keep up with the speed of the two of them.

Because the speed of the two people on the field was getting faster and faster at this time, the sounds of gold and iron gradually became one.

Even with Shangguan Jianmei's cultivation level, he could no longer distinguish the situation on the field.

She couldn't help but look at He Nandou next to her, and saw that he was also watching attentively, so she lowered her voice and asked.

"Senior Brother He, who do you think will win and who will lose?"

Unexpectedly, He Nandou actually shook his head helplessly, "I can't tell, their speed is too fast."

You must know that He Nandou or the entire Tianyige people are not good at fighting. What they are good at is controlling the sense of crisis and vague perception of the future.

But Shangguan Jianmei didn't expect that even He Nandou couldn't tell who had the upper hand, and she couldn't help but feel more and more horrified.

She really didn't expect that Yin Jiaxiong would be so powerful. No wonder Wuliangshan's status among the Thirteen Sects was so transcendent.

But what shocked her even more was Zhao Ya's performance.

Before this, all her impressions of Zhao Ya came from rumors, and it was inevitable that she would have some disbelief in her heart, thinking that they were exaggerated.

But now, after seeing Zhao Ya's strength with her own eyes, Shangguan Jianmei had only one feeling.

That means the rumors are still conservative.

Also shocked were Nan Liangyu, Zhuo Tingqin and others.

Although they no longer regard Zhao Ya as a peer, they still have mixed feelings in their hearts when they see him fighting like this with the top masters of the previous generation.

Especially Nan Liangyu, he had doubts about his talent for the first time.

Could it be that I am just too stupid?

Otherwise, why is it that someone who is several years younger than me is far more powerful than me?

At this moment, a chuckle suddenly came from the side.

"My lord is going to win!"

Nan Liangyu and Zhuo Tingqin immediately turned around and saw that the speaker was a beautiful girl.

They immediately recognized that this woman came with the disciples of Canglong Temple, and she seemed to have a very close relationship with Zhao Ya.

But no real power fluctuations could be detected from this woman, she was just an ordinary person.

For this reason, many people are curious about her identity, and even think that she should be Zhao Ya's lover.

But he didn't expect that at this juncture, this woman could actually see through the situation.

But is what she said true?

Just when Nan Liangyu and Zhuo Tingqin were confused, the continuous sound of gold and iron came to an abrupt end.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Ya was seen standing in front of Yin Jiaxiong with a short knife in his hand and a calm expression, the tip of the knife was pressed against his throat.

In contrast, Yin Jiaxiong's Tingfeng Sword had to miss more than a foot to reach Zhao Ya.

It’s clear who wins and who loses.

After a moment of dead silence, there was an uproar.

"The mountain master... was defeated?"

Up and down Wuliang Mountain, whether they were elders or disciples, they all looked at the scene in front of them in disbelief.

As for He Nandou, he was also inexplicably shocked.

They thought that Zhao Ya would have to pay a price even if he could win, but they didn't expect that he would win so easily.

"Look, what I said is right!" Liu Yuhuan smiled proudly at Nan Liangyu, Zhuo Tingqin and others.

At the same time on the battlefield, the expression on Yin Jiaxiong's face gradually changed from blank to solemn.

Then he asked in a hoarse voice: "What kind of sword technique is this?"

"Zhan Feng."

"Zhanfeng..." Yin Jiaxiong muttered, and then a look of misery appeared on his face.

"No wonder, my sword is named Tingfeng, but you cut the wind. It's no wonder that I don't lose."

While saying this, the expression on Yin Jiaxiong's face quickly dimmed, and the previous arrogance disappeared without a trace.

But he had nothing to say.

Because of the fight just now, Zhao Ya didn't use any opportunistic tricks. He completely defeated himself with superb sword skills.

"I lost. I can kill or behead you as you please, but disobeying your Canglong Order is my intention and has nothing to do with the rest of Wuliang Mountain, so I hope you won't make it difficult for them." Yin Jiaxiong said slowly, and then let go of his hand.

With a clang, Tingfeng Sword fell to the ground, and then the sword body broke into several pieces.

"Mountain Master!"

"Lord Mountain Master!"

Everyone in Wuliang Mountain cried out in grief.

Yin Jiaxiong looked at the broken sword on the ground with a confused expression, and then laughed at himself.

"I thought it was just a missed move just now, but now I know I was wrong."

"If I guessed correctly, you could have defeated me a long time ago. You just wanted to avoid damaging the knife in your hand, so you kept avoiding my sharp edge, right?"

Zhao Ya nodded, "Yes!"

"Haha, it's no use that I always boasted that I was a prodigy in swordsmanship. Now that I see you, I know what it means to be someone outside of others." A look of relief appeared on Yin Jiaxiong's face.

"Let's do it. Being able to die in the hands of a peerless swordsman like you is the best destination for me."

But Zhao Ya didn't take action. On the contrary, he suddenly sheathed the sword and returned it to its sheath.

Yin Jiaxiong, who was waiting for death, couldn't help but be startled when he saw this, "Well, what do you mean?"

"It doesn't mean anything, I just don't want to kill you suddenly."

"Do you think I will be grateful to you like this?" Yin Jiaxiong didn't feel the slightest joy, but said angrily.

For someone like him who is obsessed with swords, the sword is his life.

So now that the sword is broken, the only way to choose is death.

But Zhao Ya didn't kill him, which was simply a naked humiliation.

"Whether you hate me or be grateful to me, I don't want to kill you, because with your swordsmanship, even if you really want to die, you will have to die on the battlefield against foreign enemies."

As he spoke, Zhao Ya turned around and said in a calm tone: "You can think about it. If you think that I didn't kill you is an insult to you, then you can kill yourself on the spot."

"So is it better to kill yourself for the sake of your so-called swordsman's face, or to go to the battlefield and fight vigorously?"

"Measure it yourself!"

After saying these words, Zhao Ya strode away, leaving Yin Jiaxiong standing there alone, stunned.

This sudden scene shocked everyone present.

Everyone from Wuliang Mountain swarmed in.

"Mountain Master, how are you?"

"Mountain Master, are you okay?"

Yin Jiaxiong was unmoved and just stared blankly at Zhao Ya's back as he strode away.

At the same time, Zhao Ya returned to his camp.

He Nandou gave him a thumbs up, but he didn't know whether it was to praise him for his victory over Yin Jiaxiong, or because of his last words.

Zhao Ya did not stop, and directly extended his hand to wave after returning to the camp.

"move on."

The team immediately began to move, and just as they were about to set off, Yin Jiaxiong in the distance suddenly shouted.

"Everyone in Wuliang Mountain listen to your orders!"

"exist!"

"Come with me on the expedition!"

Today is the last day of 2023. I wish all book friends good luck, peace and joy in the new year. Moonlight wishes everyone a Happy New Year in advance!
