Chapter 23: A Group Beating of Qingcheng Sect

  "Who is sneaking around, stealing the secrets of Qingcheng Sect?" Yu Canghai drew out a sharp sword and swung it towards the big tree where Linghu Chong was hiding.

  "Damn you, you son of a bitch! This is too cruel, don't you want my life?" Linghu Cong cursed under his breath and jumped down from the tree.

  "Who are you and what sinister plot have you infiltrated into our Qingcheng Sect? Come out quickly, or perhaps the master of this sect will consider showing mercy." Yu Canghai shouted angrily.

  "It's you!"

  Luo Renjie and Yu Renhao both recognized the man who had humiliated them at a glance. Luo Renjie said to Yu Canghai, "Master, he is Linghu Chong, the eldest disciple of Mount Hua Sect."

  "You're a disciple of a renowned sect, why are you sneaking around my mountain gate? If you can't give me a good reason, I'll have to tell the master to teach you a lesson on behalf of Master Yue, and let you know what's called manners."

  Yu Canghai was originally a tyrannical and overbearing person who would not hesitate to use his power to protect himself, regardless of right or wrong. Naturally, he wouldn't give a good face to the person in front of him who had caused his two outstanding disciples from Qingcheng Sect to lose face.

  "I, Leng Qiu, have met Master Yu Guang. I came to pay my respects on the orders of my master, but was stopped at the door and humiliated by a junior disciple from Qingcheng Sect. That's why I dared to enter Qingfeng Guan to investigate." Leng Qiu said with feigned displeasure.

  "What's going on?" Yu Canghai asked in a low voice. This was a Qingcheng disciple quietly reporting the situation to his ear.

  "Haha, the Qingcheng Sect has always been on good terms with the Huashan Sect. I think there must be some misunderstanding here. I hope you can forgive me, young master. Please come to the side hall for tea." Yu Canghai's facial expression changed as quickly as he changed clothes.

  "I don't dare to presume, since Master Yu said it was a misunderstanding, then it must be a misunderstanding. However, I still have a junior fellow apprentice waiting outside the door..." said Linghu Chong.

  "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and invite the senior brother of Huashan Sect to have tea in the side hall!" Yu Canghai scolded one of his disciples.

  Linghu Cong was also puzzled, Yu Canghai you old turtle pretending to be so polite what's the point, I'm not unaware of your character, now you're being so courteous, later it will make me embarrassed to turn against you, and if I don't turn against you how can I openly and justly teach you a lesson.

  Linghu Chong followed Yu Canghai to the side hall of Qingfeng Temple, where Laodanuo was also brought in by a disciple of Qingcheng Sect. Linghu Chong gave a hint with his eyes, and Laodanuo understood, taking out a letter from his bosom and respectfully handing it over to Yu Canghai: "My master Yue Buqun ordered me to deliver this handwritten letter to Master Yu, please take a look."

  Yu Canghai tore open the envelope, pulled out the letter paper, and read it. After a while, he finished reading and said to Linghu Chong and the others: "Yue Buqun indeed has the demeanor of a gentleman, worthy of being called a Gentleman Sword. I understand his meaning. Please ask you two nephews to convey this to Yue Buqun: Our Qingcheng Sect has always been on good terms with Huashan Sect. This time's incident is just a misunderstanding. Please don't take it to heart."

  "I see that Master Yu is broad-minded and generous, so I will definitely convey Master Yu's meaning to our master." Laodan nodded at Linghu Chong, hinting for the two of them to quickly leave.

  "Qingcheng Sect has many things to attend to, so I won't keep the two of you here any longer. See our guests off!" Yu Canghai said to the two of them.

  Lauder was stunned and wanted to leave, but Linghu Cong was depressed to death. Yu Canghai, you son of a bitch, did you take the wrong medicine today? Who doesn't know that you're a selfish and narrow-minded scoundrel after watching The Smiling, Proud Wanderer? What's going on today? Why are you being so dignified? If you didn't provoke me, how could I lose my temper and teach you a lesson?

  It seems there's nothing else to do but think of a countermeasure. Linghu Chong helplessly turned around and prepared to leave with Lao Denuo.

  At this moment, Yu Canghai suddenly launched a sneak attack from behind and kicked towards Linghu Chong. The moment Yu Canghai made his move, Linghu Chong's heart was filled with joy and he almost peed in excitement. Damn it, this guy is still the same Yu Canghai I know, actually launching a sneak attack on me, a junior. However, I like it, finally I can openly fight him.

  Just as Linghu Cong was about to turn around and counterattack, Laodenuo suddenly blocked his way, and Yu Canghai kicked him to the ground, causing his nose to swell and his face to bruise.

  "You see this move is Qingcheng's Ping Sha Luo Yan style." Yu Canghai said to the Qingcheng disciples.

  "You're a despicable old man, Yu Canghai! You actually sneak attacked a junior without regard for your status! You're forcing me to teach you a lesson. If I don't make you pay a price today, others will think that the disciples of Mount Hua are easy to bully." Lao Denuo was furious, he hadn't expected that Yu Canghai would suddenly appear and block the kick for him, and he had already considered Lao Denuo as one of his own people, how could he tolerate this affront?

  Linghu Chong helped Labor De Nuo up and sat him down to one side, then turned around and drew out the heavy Xuan Tie sword from behind his back. He glared furiously at Yu Can Hai and said: "Today, I will bathe Qingcheng Sect in blood and make you pay a bloody price."

  "Whoosh!"

  Linghu Chong directly used the Du Gu Nine Swords Broken Sword Style, and with a loud crash, he chopped towards Yu Canghai. Yu Canghai was shocked by this fierce and swift move, and the overbearing momentum made even him, a master of martial arts, gasp for breath. With great difficulty, he finally broke free from Linghu Chong's aura and drew out his treasured sword to meet Linghu Chong's heavy sword.

  "Clang!"

  A shrill and ear-piercing sound of clashing weapons, in the midst of the Qingcheng Sect disciples' shocked gazes, the treasured sword that had followed Yu Canghai for many years suddenly snapped in two, actually being brutally smashed by Linghu Chong. Meanwhile, Linghu Chong's heavy Xuan Tie sword didn't stop at all as it struck Yu Canghai's body.

  Bang!

  Yu Canghai was directly smashed flying six or seven meters, heavily crashing into the wall, and suddenly spat out a big mouthful of blood. Linghu Chong took advantage of the situation and didn't spare him, using the Lingbo Weibu to instantly catch up with Yu Canghai. With a light swing of his hand, his sword pointed at Yu's throat, saying: "If I weren't afraid that Master would blame me, today I would have crippled you, this old turtle."

  Yu Canghai's face was ashen, he had stopped struggling, he never thought he would be humiliated like this. The crowd of Qingcheng disciples were stunned, their eyes wide with shock as they stared at Yu Canghai who lay on the ground. This powerful being whom they revered as a god, couldn't even withstand one move from this Huashan disciple and was defeated so badly that he spat out blood and fell to the ground, unable to get up. It was really hard for people to believe.

  Lao Denuo was directly scared to pee, his shock far exceeded that of the Qingcheng Sect disciples. No one knew more about this senior brother than he did. Originally thought that Linghu Chong's martial arts were not much different from his own, but unexpectedly, he was defeated in just one move by Yu Canghai, who had already made a name for himself as the leader of the Qingcheng Sect many years ago. It is worth noting that Yu Canghai has long been hailed as a master of martial arts, with profound and mysterious skills. Even Left Cold Mountain may not be able to defeat him within thirty moves.

  Linghu Cong's martial arts have reached such a terrifying level, if Linghu Cong is using Huashan School's martial arts, then his master Yue Buqun's martial arts should be at what kind of level? Did Left Cold really win the Gentleman Sword?

  "Daring rogue, spare my master!" A Qingcheng disciple drew his long sword and stabbed at Linghu Chong from behind.

  Linghu Chong counterattacked with a single strike, sending the Qingcheng Sect disciple flying tens of meters along with his sword, heavily crashing to the ground, his life or death unknown.

  "Don't be afraid, everyone! He's just one person, let's go together! Kill him and avenge Master!"

  A group of Qingcheng Sect disciples rushed up, wanting to chop Linghu Chong's body into pieces with their swords. But Dugu Nine Swords and Lingbo Micro Steps were the most suitable martial arts for fighting a crowd. With either one, he had nothing to fear from being surrounded by a large number of enemies. What's more, he was proficient in both, so using Lingbo Micro Steps, he directly used his ultimate move to cut off all the long swords of the Qingcheng Sect disciples and sent them flying.

  "Are you here again? Do you really want to die? Do you think I don't dare kill people? Believe it or not, I'll take care of you directly!" Linghu Chong looked at the Qingcheng Sect disciples who were lying on the ground with disdain, and left the Clear Wind Pavilion with a swagger, supporting Laodanuo. No one dared to stop them.

  It wasn't until Linghu Chong and the others had left for a long time that some of the lightly injured Qingcheng disciples dared to get up, looking around at the heavily injured Yu Canghai and more than ten Qingcheng elite disciples lying on the ground. Everyone was shocked and bewildered, remembering the man with the heavy sword in his hand, like a god, and a sense of fear filled their hearts.

  The Qingcheng Sect, which has been passed down for thousands of years and is a proud first-rate sect in the Jianghu world, was humiliated by a junior disciple from the Huashan Sect in their own headquarters. The entire Qingcheng Sect, including its leader, was beaten by one person!
