Comprehensive Martial Arts: Relying on Pili Martial Arts to Achieve Dimensionality Reduction Attack

Chapter 147: The Past of Sword World

In the north of Fengyun City, hundreds of martial artists were watching and anticipating a sword fight that was about to take place on the open ground.

One of them was an old man with white hair and a long beard, but he was full of energy and vitality.

"The wind and clouds are so vast, and the road to immortality is long. Carry out the way of the Heavenly Master, and slay demons with the golden sword!"

The old swordsman moved, and the golden sword on his back flew out and stuck on the ground in front of him, accompanied by a limerick with an arrogant and high-handed expression, as if he was taking advantage of his seniority.

He was the elder from the Dao Realm, the 'Golden Sword Immortal' Ye Yunzi, who was born in the Shenxiao Sword Sect.

On the big rock, Lu Ping rubbed his eyes in disbelief.

“It’s actually the old man with the golden knife?!”

Lu Ping still had some impression of this person——

He has average strength, but a big mouth. He is arrogant in his poetry. He dotes on his disciples. He gives his martial arts moves very impressive names. He also has a catchphrase that he always says: "I have been in the sword world all my life..."

This person has many small problems, but he is still a 'righteous man'.

If there is a character that is similar to him, the first person that Lu Ping thinks of is Ke Zhenwu, the leader of the "Seven Heroes of Jiangnan" in The Legend of the Condor Heroes.

"What a great poem! What a great poem!!"

"Majestic, open-minded, and righteous, this old swordsman's strength is extraordinary..."

"From what this poem says, he is actually a monk?"

"A cultivator practicing swordsmanship, such a person is rare in the martial arts world."

"Seeing him reminds me of Wudang's Mu Dao Ren. Both of them are old men, both are Taoists, and the weapons they use are a sword and a knife. Now they have left their names on the Fengyun Monument..."

"Now that you mention it, I suddenly want to see them team up for a 'Old Swordsman' showdown. I wonder who has better kung fu between the two?"

"Got it, got it... I have an idea for a new martial arts novel, it's called 'Blade on the Left, Sword on the Right'!"

Unexpectedly, Ye Yunzi's pretentious action actually won the applause of the people around him.

Most of them were at the bottom of the martial arts world and had never seen many masters. Now, when they saw the strong men whose names were left on the monument, the degree of admiration in their hearts naturally reached more than 60 points.

Coupled with the strange scene of reciting poetry while fighting, which is rarely seen in other martial arts people, as well as his confident, calm and high-profile demeanor, his favorability level rose to 80.

"Master, come on!!"

In the first row of the crowd, a child with fancy clothes and the appearance of a second-generation rich kid was shouting and cheering at Ye Yunzi.

Lu Ping noticed the child, who looked only about ten years old and very young, but with a hint of pride and frivolity in his eyes, he was obviously a child spoiled by his elders.

"The only one who would call Ye Yunzi 'Master' should be Tu Wanli..."

Tu Wanli is a character who is stepped on in the play. The most talented person among the younger generation of Dao Zong should be Qi Hanyu.

The two of them are playing typical roles of the protagonist and the villain, and they have strong labels on them.

Qi Hanyu is the "son of a genius", the "disciple of the sect leader", introverted, cautious, and submissive to his father's will"; Tu Wanli is the "rich second generation", the "disciple of the elder", arrogant, frivolous, and bullies men and women in his hometown".

Sure enough, following Tu Wanli, Lu Ping saw Qi Hanyu standing next to him again.

Although he is still very young, there is already a lingering melancholy between his brows.

Hearing Tu Wanli's voice, the people around him lowered their heads and looked sideways, curious: "Little brother, that old... uh... senior with the golden knife over there, is he your master?"

"Exactly!"

"Is he great?"

Tu Wanli raised his head confidently: "Of course! My master has been in the sword world all his life and has never met an opponent..."

The older ones love to brag, and the younger ones, influenced by them over the years, also become cocky and extremely arrogant at a very young age.

However, the people around didn't think it was a big deal. After all, the other party was someone who could leave his name on the Monument of Wind and Cloud, which proved that his strength was far above that of ordinary people like them.

The swordsman who fought against Ye Yunzi also held a golden sword.

The other party was a middle-aged man with blond hair, a burly figure and a ferocious face, like a lion fighting for territory.

"Who is this guy?"

"The Golden Lion King of the Sun Moon Sect, Xie Xun."

"Xie Xun? I think I heard my master say that before... Wasn't he ordered by the 'Five Mountains and Seven Sects Union' to stop using his sword and retire from martial arts for ten years? Has he been released?"

"According to the time, it has indeed been ten years now..."

"Then, could it be that the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand is as famous as the Heavenly Sword?"

"The Heavenly Sword, the Dragon Sabre... Such distant names! I haven't heard of these two weapons in the martial arts world for nearly ten years..."

"Yes...they disappeared as long as Xie Xun disappeared from the martial arts world." "Why is that?"

"I heard that they all fell into the hands of the Sun Moon Sect and became the sect's sacred weapons. But because of Xie Xun's defeat of the Five Elders of Kongtong, the higher-ups warned them, so..."

"What a pity! I heard that this sword is extremely sharp and made of black crystal, but it is gathering dust in the treasure house."

"Xie Xun has the Dragon Slaying Sword in his hand. It looks like it will be difficult for that old swordsman to defeat him in this duel..."

A conversation between passers-by A, B, C, and D was heard, which allowed Lu Ping to learn the identity of this person, and gradually recalled the past events in the martial arts world that he had heard from old man Sun.

In this world of comprehensive martial arts, Xie Xun is also one of the legendary figures in the martial arts world.

People nowadays rarely hear his story, but more than ten years ago, people in the underworld were constantly cursing him.

The development of the world of comprehensive martial arts is different from the development process in The Heaven Sword and Dragon Saber.

The two weapons, the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Sabre, still exist, but they were not forged by melting the heavy black iron sword, and there is no Eighteen Dragon Subduing Palms or Wu Mu's Testament inside.

Rumor has it that their raw materials are the outer space black crystals purchased from Dongwulin, and the person who forged them is a swordsmith from a mysterious forging family.

Since their birth, the Sword of the Heavenly Sword and the Dragon Slaying Saber have circulated in the martial arts world. Until more than ten years ago, the two weapons fell into the hands of the Sun and Moon Sect, which had the closest relationship with the Suzaku royal family.

The Sword of the Heavenly Sword is in the hands of the Left Master Yang Xiao, and the owner of the Dragon Slaying Sabre is the Golden Lion King Xie Xun.

By the way, the Suzaku Dynasty used the 'Suzaku Spirit Beast' as the royal totem, instead of using the 'dragon' to represent the imperial power like the common feudal dynasties, so these two weapons could exist in the world.

The current leader of the Sun and Moon Sect is Dongfang Bubai, and the deputy leader is Ren Woxing.

But in fact, before Ren Woxing succeeded as deputy leader, the Sun Moon Sect had another deputy leader, and that person was called Yang Dingtian.

Rumor has it that more than ten years ago, Yang Dingtian, the deputy leader of the Sun Moon Sect, had his martial arts skills crippled and was expelled from the sect because he secretly learned martial arts that only the sect leader could learn.

Considering his contribution to the Sun Moon Sect, Dongfang Bubai spared his life, but he also cut off ties with the Sun Moon Sect and disappeared from the world.

In the following years, some people said that Yang Dingtian was dead, while others said that he had another adventure and went to other martial arts worlds, but he never appeared in the Southern Martial Arts World again.

Not to mention that Yang Dingtian was only a deputy leader back then. Since he had no connection with the Sun Moon Sect, his love triangle with his junior sister and Cheng Kun would not affect Xie Xun.

Therefore, there is no such drama as "Xie Xun uses the Dragon Slaying Sword to kill innocent people and put the blame on Cheng Kun" in this martial arts world.

Of course, even if he wanted to do so, the masters in the world would not be pushovers.

However, even if there is no record of "indiscriminate killing of innocent people", the label of "too cruel" is still inevitable.

Ten years ago, Xie Xun was causing trouble in the martial arts world. A verbal dispute led to a sword fight, and finally attracted the Five Elders of Kongtong.

The six men fought a decisive battle at the Road of No Return. In the end, Xie Xun fought one against five and beat the opponents so hard that three were seriously injured, one was slightly disabled, and one died.

Since it was Xie Xun who was unreasonable and causing trouble, and Kongtong Sect suffered a great loss, the other party would certainly not let it go easily. In the end, the matter became more and more serious, prompting the "Five Mountains and Seven Sects Federation" to personally intervene to regulate it.

The final punishment was that Xie Xun apologized to the victim in a public pavilion, and retired from the martial arts world for ten years. He also had to compensate the Kongtong Sect for all losses, including medical expenses and mental damages.

The Sun Moon Sect accepted the punishment with pleasure without any objection. In the ten years since then, Xie Xun disappeared from the world and no longer appeared in the martial arts world.

While the people in the martial arts world were chatting and thinking, Ye Yunzi and Xie Xun had already started fighting in the open space.

In a sword fight, there is only advancement and no retreat.

Although these two men looked old, their movements were vigorous, swift and powerful, in no way inferior to those of young people.

One moves like a lion swooping down on the land, fierce and unrivaled, the more he strikes, the faster and crazier he strikes;
The first one's movements are like an old ox plowing the field, steady and tenacious, the more it strikes, the clumsier it becomes, but the more skillful it becomes.

The sword was whistling, and the figures were moving back and forth. More than three hundred moves had already passed, making the people around them excited and their blood boiling.

In terms of swordsmanship alone, Ye Yunzi is clearly better.

His 'Three Styles of the Golden Sword of Heaven, Earth and Man' and 'Serial Slashes of the Golden Sword Across Heaven and Earth', although not particularly impressive sword moves, the fact that he was able to become an elder of the Sword Sect shows that he is quite capable.

On the other hand, Xie Xun was able to gain such a fierce reputation in the martial arts world because of his strong internal strength and the sharpness of the Dragon Slaying Sword which far exceeded that of ordinary swords.

In fact, he himself has done very little research on knife skills.

In terms of foundation and combat experience, Ye Yunzi is three points stronger than Xie Xun.

You know, Daoyu is a place where the competition pressure in martial arts is very high. The foundation of each of the four sects of sword, knife, star, and learning is not weaker than that of the five mountains and seven schools.

Every disciple in a sect, on the road of growth in their lives, not only has to compete with people from the same sect, but also has to compete with people from three other sects. If they lose, they will be suppressed in various ways, or even bullied.

In such an environment, Ye Yunzi did not practice the 'Double Swords and Three Unique Skills' of the Sword Sect, but instead walked his own path of swordsmanship and eventually became an elder, which shows that his talent is not bad.

And what about Xie Xun?

After so many years, he is still just a Dharma King.
