In the past, he might have been wary of the Huashan Sect's status as an ally of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, but over the past ten years, the Qingcheng Sect and the Songshan Sect have become close friends, and he himself has a very close personal relationship with Zuo Lengchan. The close interaction between the two sects has made the Qingcheng Sect an unofficial member of the Five Mountains Sword Sects, and he has gradually lost his wariness of the Huashan Sect.
Especially a few years ago, when Zuo Lengchan subtly expressed his dissatisfaction with the Huashan Sect in his correspondence with him, implying that he could take action against the Huashan Sect without worry and that the Five Mountains Sword Sects would not target the Qingcheng Sect as a result, Yu Canghai directly began to encroach on the original territory of the Huashan Sect.
With the support of the Songshan Sect and Zuo Lengchan, Yu Canghai believed that the Qingcheng Sect was no less powerful than the current Huashan Sect, and he no longer maintained a superficial approach.
Jiang Ning laughed, but his smile was cold: "If Abbot Yu says so, it seems that your disciples' attitude towards our Huashan Sect must have been at your behest."
Yu Canghai sneered and remained silent.
"If you dare to kill my Qingcheng Sect disciples on my Qingcheng territory, you can forget about going back alive. A life for a life, my Qingcheng Sect will take your life to pay for the death of our disciples."
Hou Renying, one of the four outstanding disciples of Qingcheng, stepped forward and sneered.
Ever since Linghu Chong called the Four Heroes of Qingcheng the Four Beasts of Qingcheng two years ago, he has been very dissatisfied with the Huashan Sect. This dissatisfaction reached its peak after the trip to Hengshan City. They all held their breath, and now, hearing Hou Renying speak, the other disciples all stared at Jiang Ning with predatory eyes.
Yu Canghai remained indifferent and silent.
Jiang Ning glanced at Yu Canghai, then at the Qingcheng disciples.
"Good, good, good."
Jiang Ning laughed.
"So your sect also knows the principle of an eye for an eye, but Abbot Yu pretended to avenge his son, but in reality he killed my junior brother Lin Pingzhi's entire family for the Evil-Slaying Sword Manual. Now he is protecting his disciple's misdeeds. How wonderful."
"Since that's the case, then don't blame me for disregarding the friendship between the righteous sects."
As Jiang Ning spoke, his hand was already on the hilt of his sword.
Zheng~
The longsword was slowly drawn from its sheath, a flash of cold light appearing.
Seeing that he showed no fear in front of so many Qingcheng disciples, even Yu Canghai felt that Jiang Ning was indeed outstanding. However, now that the Qingcheng Sect was at odds with the Huashan Sect, he had only one thought about Jiang Ning.
Yu Canghai waved his hand, and the Qingcheng disciples behind him swarmed forward.
As the head of a sect, he couldn't bring himself to gang up on a junior with his disciples.
There's no need for formalities anymore; once the mask is torn off, this is Yu Canghai's true attitude.
"kill him!"
Luo Renjie shouted and charged forward with his sword.
Chapter 127: My Master Can Kill You Like Taking Something Out of a Bag
call out!
A Qingcheng disciple thrust forward with a long sword, using the Qingcheng Pine Breeze Sword Technique. This sword technique is powerful yet agile, possessing the strength of a pine tree and the spirit of the wind. However, this disciple's thrust was more powerful than agile.
Besides this disciple, another Qingcheng disciple rushed over from behind. Instead of using a sword, he lay prone on the ground and kicked at Jiang Ning's lower body.
This is also a unique skill of the Qingcheng Sect, called the Shadowless Illusionary Kick.
Two more Qingcheng disciples charged in from both sides of Jiangning, attacking from all directions.
Jiang Ning stood still, then raised his sword and slashed.
Clang!
The sword in the hand of the Qingcheng disciple in front was broken in two, and a sword wound spread from his forehead to his chest.
The Qingcheng disciple froze, and his body slowly collapsed.
At the same time, Jiang Ning swung his sword sharply, and with two clangs, the swords of the two Qingcheng disciples who attacked from the side were thrown from their hands.
Jiang Ning glanced at the disciple who used the Shadowless Phantom Leg, narrowed his eyes, and kicked him, sending him flying.
In the blink of an eye, Jiang Ning swiftly and decisively dealt with the four Qingcheng disciples.
Jiang Ning looked around, his gaze sweeping over the Qingcheng disciples who had packed the area tightly. Then, he circulated his inner energy, opened his mouth, and let out a clear whistle, creating layers of sound waves.
At this moment, some Qingcheng disciples who rushed up were the first to be hit. They felt a loud bang in their ears, as if their eardrums had been ruptured. They were immediately dizzy and their vision blurred, and they could hardly hold their swords.
Some of the weaker fighters couldn't withstand the sudden attack; they felt dizzy and immediately collapsed to the ground.
Yu Canghai's expression turned solemn upon seeing this scene.
As a top-tier expert, he was very clear about Jiang Ning's move. It was an attack launched directly with internal force, which was simply unbearable for those with weak internal force.
However, using this kind of attack requires extremely high internal strength from the user, and even Yu Canghai himself might not be able to achieve this level.
This kid's strength has already surpassed his.
Upon realizing this, Yu Canghai's expression turned grim.
Such formidable internal strength is completely unlike what a young boy should possess.
If Yu Canghai hadn't thought Jiang Ning was a righteous disciple, he would have even assumed that the other party had used the Demonic Sect's "Star Absorbing Technique" to absorb the internal energy of many people to achieve such profound internal strength.
Although he was amazed by Jiang Ning's talent when he was in Hengshan City, Yu Canghai was truly frightened at this moment.
In just one year, his opponent's strength had surpassed his.
Yu Canghai was truly amazed by Jiang Ning's talent.
But there was no way to change things now; the two sides had become enemies, and the faster the other side grew, the more disadvantageous it would be for the Qingcheng Sect.
Yu Canghai flicked his sleeve, and a gust of wind struck the longsword in the hand of a disciple who had not yet made a move.
With his longsword drawn, Yu Canghai moved swiftly, gripping the hilt as he charged directly at Jiang Ning, his movements incredibly graceful and his speed extremely fast.
Seeing Yu Canghai charging towards him, Jiang Ning was prepared. He raised his sword to block, and the tip of Yu Canghai's longsword struck the blade. Jiang Ning took the opportunity to retreat, his body flying backward and landing on a branch of a large tree.
Seeing that Jiang Ning had broken free of the encirclement, the other Qingcheng disciples gathered around the big tree.
“Your master and disciples are quite united.”
Jiang Ning looked at the crowd below and laughed.
"Humph!"
Yu Canghai snorted coldly, knowing that the other party was mocking him for bullying the weak with numbers, but at this moment, Jiang Ning was attacking the Qingcheng Sect, so he naturally didn't care about such things.
call out!
Hou Renying kicked off a tree and leaped into the air, charging towards Jiang Ning, who was standing on the tree.
Jiang Ning glanced at him, then casually swung his sword, unleashing a burst of sword energy.
Hou Renying raised his sword to parry, but the sword energy passed through his sword and struck his chest directly. Hou Renying screamed and fell like a kite with a broken string.
"Ren Ying!"
Yu Canghai cried out in alarm, only to see Hou Renying lying on the ground, lifeless.
The Qingcheng disciples are not very strong. Although there are many of them, they are not very useful. Even the Qingcheng disciples known as the Four Heroes of Qingcheng, such as Hong Renxiong and Hou Renying, are only third-rate. They were easily defeated by Linghu Chong, who was only second-rate. They could not even last a few moves against a true first-rate master. Not to mention that Jiang Ning is now far beyond the reach of ordinary first-rate masters.
Seeing their senior brother being slaughtered like a chicken, the other Qingcheng disciples also looked at Jiang Ning with a hint of retreat.
Seeing that his fellow disciples seemed to be having second thoughts, Luo Renjie quickly shouted.
"Junior brothers, don't be afraid. This kid can't possibly beat us."
After speaking, Luo Renjie looked up at Jiang Ning.
"You surnamed Jiang, don't think you can cause trouble in my Qingcheng Sect just because you're skilled in martial arts. My master can kill you as easily as taking candy from a baby!"
Upon hearing Luo Renjie's words, Yu Canghai didn't know what to say. He stepped forward and silently charged towards Jiang Ning.
At this moment, Yu Canghai was also using the Pine Breeze Sword Technique, but unlike the Qingcheng disciple before him, Yu Canghai's movements were light and graceful, yet his swordsmanship was accompanied by a powerful whistling sound, making him far more skilled than the disciple.
Seeing him rushing towards him at high speed, Jiang Ning suddenly drew his sword and slashed down at a tricky angle.
Jiang Ning's attack was sudden and his sword technique was strange. Yu Canghai had never seen it before, and it was not within his expectations. Yu Canghai frowned and dodged the attack in mid-air.
The next second, Jiang Ning charged towards Yu Canghai, slashing horizontally with his sword.
Yu Canghai's brow twitched involuntarily. He could no longer dodge after he had just regained his footing. Suddenly, his body rose higher, and Jiang Ning slashed across his abdomen with his sword. With a tearing sound, his clothes were cut, but no blood flowed out.
Yu Canghai's lower robe fluttered to the ground, revealing what lay beneath.
Originally, Yu Canghai only had an upper body, and his lower body was that of a dwarf. Jiang Ning just cut the gap between the two of them.
Jiang Ning raised an eyebrow, and the next second he leaped up, soaring above Yu Canghai, and thrust his sword straight at Yu Canghai's crown. The tip of the sword trembled and emitted a clanging sound.
Yu Canghai looked up at Jiang Ning, channeled his inner force, and extended his sword to block. At the same time, as Jiang Ning fell, he reached out with his other hand and struck him. The speed was extremely fast, and the inner force in his palm fluctuated.
Jiang Ning also reached out his hand to meet the palm, and immediately felt a sinister internal force coming from the other's palm.
"hehe."
Jiang Ning sneered and circulated his innate internal energy to confront this insidious internal force.
"what!"
Yu Canghai screamed as a searing pain shot through his palm, as if it were being burned. At the same time, his internal energy became unstable, and he fell to the ground the next second.
"Master!"
The two fought so fast that the Qingcheng disciples below only saw their figures flash by before Yu Canghai's upper body fell from mid-air.
"Master!"
The dwarf also shouted nervously, but the next second a flash of sword light appeared, and Jiang Ning's longsword arrived.
A line of blood flew up, and a sword mark appeared on the dwarf's neck.
Bang!
The dwarf fell from mid-air, crashing to the ground with a thud. After twitching a few times, he remained motionless.
"Master!"
Several Qingcheng disciples reached out to help Yu Canghai, but Yu Canghai pushed them away.
At this moment, Yu Canghai only had half a body, his hair disheveled, looking at Jiang Ning with a ferocious expression like a demon.
Jiang Ning remained standing in the tree, his gaze coldly fixed on the Qingcheng Sect members below.
The next second, Jiang Ning's figure fell from the tree and disappeared into the crowd.
"kill!"
Luo Renjie shouted and charged forward with his sword.
After a while.
There were more than twenty corpses lying haphazardly on the ground, all of them Qingcheng disciples.
Chapter 128: Battle
Tick, tick.
Hong Renxiong's body was nailed to a tree trunk with a sword, blood dripping from the corner of his mouth, his dull eyes filled with resentment.
He had tried to sneak up on Jiang Ning from behind, but Jiang Ning didn't even glance at him. He casually kicked the sword away and then slammed him into a tree. The next second, his own sword pierced through his chest.
Yu Canghai, who was even shorter than before, was now dressed in tattered clothes, with disheveled hair and a ferocious expression like a demon. He held a long sword that was even longer than himself and stared fiercely at Jiang Ning.
Yu Canghai opened his mouth and let out a sharp whistle. As if by magic, a red mask appeared on his face. The next second, the mask flew out and floated straight towards Jiang Ning. Yu Canghai then changed his face to a blue mask, and so on. In just a few seconds, more than a dozen masks attacked.
At the same time, Yu Canghai waved his sleeve, and a white sleeve flew straight away, making a clattering sound like chains.
Upon seeing their master conjure up a mask, the remaining Qingcheng disciples also seemed to perform magic, turning their heads and revealing masks on their faces as well, before charging towards Jiang Ning.
Bang!Bang!Bang!
Blue smoke drifted across the venue, enveloping Jiangning.
"Master Yu and your disciples are not very skilled in martial arts, but they are quite good at magic tricks."
Blue smoke rose, and Jiang Ning's voice came from within.
call out!
A figure leaped into the air, slashing with his longsword. Three sword energies were unleashed, instantly killing three Qingcheng disciples on the spot.
