A righteous young hero? But I am a demonic cultist.

Chapter 40 The Dugu Nine Swords First Display Their Power

Huashan Martial Arts Arena.

Feng Buping stroked his beard, his years of wandering finally bringing him back to this familiar homeland.

He had thought about every mountain, every river, every blade of grass and every tree here for a very long time.

Faced with Yue Buqun's insults, he laughed loudly and said, "Yue Buqun, there are many things you haven't considered. So many years have passed; I wonder if Senior Brother Yue's cultivation has improved at all!"

"Hmph!" Yue Buqun snorted coldly, his face ashen, his long sword pointing directly at Feng Buping. "The remnants of the Sword Sect were expelled from Mount Hua back then, and you dare to call me senior brother!"

Feng Buping sneered, "Does your Qi Sect look glorious about what happened back then? The people of the Qi Sect are still as hypocritical as ever."

If it weren't for the trickery of the Qi Sect that lured Feng Qingyang down Mount Hua, even if the entire Qi Sect were combined, they wouldn't be a match for Feng Qingyang.

Every time he thought of this, Feng Buping's hatred for the Qi Sect deepened. He flicked the blood droplets off his longsword and said, "Enough of this idle talk, Yue Buqun. Let me test how much your Zixia Divine Skill has improved over the years!"

After saying that, he used the Gale Sword Technique to attack Yue Buqun. The number one expert of the Sword Sect back then, although he has been through many hardships, his moves are even more fierce than before.

In particular, his self-created Gale Sword Technique is a swift and powerful sword technique that he developed by combining his years of experience with the Huashan sword technique.

The swordplay contained a sharp, piercing wind, and each strike was faster than the last, generating an increasingly stronger wind. The energy emanating from the sword's edge was extremely cold and could form a sword energy domain four or five zhang in diameter.

Yue Buqun was careless for a moment and was immediately pulled into this area by Feng Buping, where he was stabbed several times.

Seeing her husband injured, Ning Zhongze bravely joined the battle.

Seeing this, Cong Buqi and Cheng Buyou quickly joined the battle and fought against Ning Zhongze.

After the group made their move, the men they brought directly attacked the Huashan disciples led by Yue Lingshan. In an instant, the entire Huashan area was filled with the clash of swords and the sounds of weapons clashing.

The men brought by the three from the Sword Sect were all skilled fighters carefully trained by Zuo Lengchan. They quickly overwhelmed the disciples of the Huashan Sect, and the scales of victory instantly tipped in the Sword Sect's favor.

Yue Lingshan fought and retreated, with Huashan disciples falling one after another around her, and she was soon surrounded.

However, Yue Buqun and his wife were no match for the four opponents and quickly fell into a disadvantageous position, and their situation became critical in an instant.

Just when the situation was critical, Linghu Chong descended from the sky. He used the Breaking Sword Style to first deflect Feng Buping's sword moves, and then forced Cong Buqi back with another move.

After dealing with those people, he flipped over and appeared in front of Yue Lingshan. With a single sword strike, he forced them all back.

"Master, Mistress, Junior Sister, I'm late."

Ning Zhongze said happily, "Chong'er, you're not late, the timing is just right."

Yue Lingshan looked around anxiously and asked, "Senior Brother, you've gone down the mountain, where's Junior Brother?"

Yue Yuan, Yue Yuan, it's that damned Yue Yuan again.

Linghu Chong didn't say anything, but instead vented all his anger on the three members of the Sword Sect.

Seeing this, Le Hou, who was not far away, immediately frowned.

This person seems to be Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun's eldest disciple. According to the intelligence, he is addicted to alcohol and has a dissolute nature. So why is his swordsmanship so superb? Could it be that he has also practiced the Evil-Repelling Sword Technique?

Yue Buqun was also filled with doubt. When did Linghu Chong's swordsmanship become so exquisite? He had forced back the remnants of the Sword Sect in just two moves.

After exchanging blows with Linghu Chong, Feng Buping felt that Linghu Chong's swordsmanship was somewhat strange and seemed familiar. He immediately pulled the other two back a distance.

Suddenly, he seemed to remember something, and pointed at Linghu Chong, bursting into laughter.

"Hey, you big-bearded idiot, what are you grinning about? Come on over here and let's fight again!"

Feng Buping finally remembered where Linghu Chong had learned this sword technique, and he laughed loudly: "Yue Buqun, aren't you the leader of the Qi Sect? This isn't your Qi Sect's eldest disciple, so why are you using my Sword Sect's sword technique!"

Yue Buqun immediately retorted, "How could this possibly be your Sword Sect's sword technique? My Qi Sect disdains to use your Sword Sect's methods."

Feng Buping scoffed, "Then ask Linghu Chong if he uses the Dugu Nine Swords?"

Although Yue Buqun had heard of the reputation of the Dugu Nine Swords, he had never seen the actual moves, so he could only focus his attention on Linghu Chong.

Linghu Chong had heard Yue Yuan talk about the battle of sword qi, and facing his master's burning gaze, he unconsciously lowered his head.

Seeing this, Yue Buqun understood immediately and was about to reprimand him when he was interrupted by a teasing voice.

"Hey, everyone's here!"

Yue Yuan, dressed in white, flew in from afar and landed directly in the center of the training ground, looking incredibly dashing.

He glanced at the three from the Sword Sect, then at the group from Mount Song watching the commotion from afar. "Oh, is this some kind of class reunion? There are people from the Sword Sect and people from the Mount Song Sword Sect."

"Junior Brother!" Yue Lingshan hurriedly walked up to Yue Yuan, grabbed his hand, and tried to pull him back. "This place is dangerous, come with me quickly."

Yue Yuan stood still, pulling Yue Lingshan aside and saying, "Junior Sister, they've already come to our doorstep, how can we back down now?"

He turned to look at the three members of the Sword Sect, "You are all incredibly stupid. What kind of bewitching drug did Zuo Lengchan give you that made you so eager to risk your lives for him? You should know that you are also from Mount Hua."

Feng Buping snorted coldly, "What do you know, you brat? Besides, I'm no longer a member of Mount Hua. We're all ghosts now."

"Stubborn to the end," Yue Yuan shook his head and said to Linghu Chong, "Senior Brother, go! Cripple them!"

"I......"

"Um?"

Linghu Chong sighed, drew his longsword, and charged at the three members of the Sword Sect.

"Senior Brother...why does he listen to you?"

Yue Yuan raised his fist and showed it to Yue Lingshan, "Of course, my fists are hard enough to easily subdue Senior Brother!"

"Tch, see if I believe you or not!"

He didn't explain, but turned to look in Linghu Chong's direction.

The Dugu Nine Swords are truly formidable. Linghu Chong fought against three opponents single-handedly and held his own, overwhelming the three members of the Sword Sect.

Feng Buping's incredibly fast sword strike was no match for Linghu Chong. Linghu Chong's sword was always one step ahead, anticipating all of Feng Buping's predictions.

The three were forced to retreat in defeat. Seeing that he could not defeat Linghu Chong, Feng Buping took out a whistle from somewhere and blew it.

His disciples, upon hearing the whistle, quickly retreated, leaving Linghu Chong alone in place.

Suddenly, sounds came from all sides of the training ground, and a large net descended from the sky, directly covering Linghu Chong, Yue Buqun, and the others.

The Huashan group narrowly escaped the net, but Yue Yuan and Yue Lingshan, who were standing to the side, and Linghu Chong, who was in the center, were directly caught in the net.

When Feng Buping saw that Linghu Chong, the most powerful warrior of Mount Hua, was trapped, he burst into laughter again.

"No matter how high your martial arts skills are, you can't break through my Vajra Subduing Demon Net. Surrender now, and I'll spare your life because of your past connection with my Sword Sect. Otherwise... hmph!"

Linghu Chong wielded his sword, dodging left and right, but his sword energy struck the net as if it were a mud ox sinking into the sea; the more he struggled, the tighter the net became.

Seeing this, the Huashan group wanted to rush into the arena to help, but were blocked in front of them by the disciples brought by Feng Buping.

"Yue Yuan, aren't you going to make a move? Are you determined to watch him kill me?"

"I thought you weren't done with the bondage games and were really enjoying them!"

"Stop talking nonsense, hurry up, you're strangling me!"

Yue Yuan released Yue Lingshan's small hand, made a sword finger with his right hand, and unleashed an invisible sword aura. The sword aura struck the Vajra Subduing Demon Net and emitted a burst of light. After the light faded, the three of them appeared outside the net.
