The Villain's Counterattack

It has always been Zuo Lengchan's dream to unite the Five Mountains, and he has made countless efforts for it, even without falling into the evil way. He has used many unpopular tricks. Although the results are not very ideal, he has been steadfast in carrying out his will. To some extent, Zuo Lengchan is also a true strong man.

The threat to Hengshan is huge, and it overwhelms Taishan Tianmen. The next ones are Huashan and Beiyue Hengshan. Beiyue Hengshan is full of women, and Zuo Lengchan will not do anything to them in public. It's just that the other three sects are all suppressed. I believe they dare not oppose him again, otherwise, the great leader Zuo would not mind using violence to destroy the flowers. This is not the first time anyway.

Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan smiled at each other and jumped onto the stage, bowing to Zuo Lengchan together. This was how famous sects were, even if they wanted to cut the other party into pieces, they would still smile and be respectful on the surface. Linghu Chong had indeed improved a lot, and it seemed that Yue Buqun's training for the younger generation of sect leaders was going well.

Although Linghu Chong was a little lazy, he was accompanied by his master's wife who was also his mother-in-law, his junior sister who was also his wife, and the strict requirements of his master who was also his father-in-law, so he was able to perform somewhat well at this time.

Zuo Lengchan snorted. He had since learned a great deal about Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan's Jade Maiden Pure Heart Swordsmanship, especially from Le Hou and the others. It was a two-person swordsmanship, somewhat similar to Huashan's Yin-Yang Swordsmanship, though with stricter requirements requiring a man and woman to be in tune with each other. Zuo Lengchan had always disdained such trifles. To possess the might of a million within himself was what he truly pursued.

No matter how you change, I will use my own strength to break your tricks, this was Zuo Lengchan's idea. Unfortunately, he was not facing an ordinary third-rate swordsman with third-rate swordsmanship, but two first-rate swordsmen in the martial arts world who displayed super first-rate swordsmanship. Zuo Lengchan did not have an indestructible body, so he naturally did not dare to resist Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan's Longquan swords. He could only defend himself and was at a disadvantage from the beginning.

As he became more and more familiar with the Jade Maiden Pure Heart Sword Technique, Linghu Chong was gradually able to control the rhythm at will. Especially after learning the "Nine Swords of Dugu", his vision and knowledge were further improved. He led Yue Lingshan to do two things at once, actively controlling and deducing the battle situation, forcing Zuo Lengchan to retreat in panic.

Can't use it!

Zuo Lengchan was very frustrated to find that none of his sword techniques could be fully displayed. When he was fighting one against two, there was always a sword pointing directly at his vital points, wrist or arm. The two people's sword techniques were different, but they formed a very wonderful complement.

You attack and I defend, you defend and I attack, the transition between offense and defense is natural and smooth, and the two younger generations do not use outdated moves at all, they are so flexible and agile that they are hard to defend against.

"Hit!" With Linghu Chong's clear shout, Zuo Lengchan was stabbed in the wrist, and the sword in his hand fell to the ground with a clang.

Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan both took two steps back, sheathed their swords, and stood, "Leader Zuo, we appreciate your submission."

Zuo Lengchan's face turned ashen as he suddenly rushed forward, his hands slapping at them with a chilling coldness. Linghu Chong and Yue Lingshan were well prepared. They had heard from Yue Buqun and Lin Pingzhi that Zuo Lengchan was a ruthless hero! He was capable of anything, so they could never let their guard down when facing such a person.

"Nine Swords of Dugu" used the palm-breaking style, and the palms of Zuo Lengchan's hands were stabbed one after another. Yue Lingshan suddenly used a new Songshan sword technique, which confused Zuo Lengchan and made him unable to react in a moment, and he was hit by another sword.

"Chong'er, Lingshan, step back." Yue Buqun was not afraid of Zuo Lengchan, but if so many people from the Songshan Sect rushed forward, he would be in trouble. Now that his disciples had defeated him, it was enough for him to have no face to continue the so-called Five Mountains merger, or even to serve as the leader of the Five Mountains. There was no need to continue to provoke him.

"My young disciple and my daughter were ignorant. They continued to attack even after the battle was over. Please forgive me, Senior Brother Zuo." Yue Buqun's words seemed to be a slap in the face, which made the Songshan Sect very embarrassed, while the people in the martial arts world around them burst into laughter.

Zuo Lengchan looked at the sword on the ground with the scar on his palm, and his face became even uglier. He was careless, really careless this time, and actually lost to the two juniors. However, the Five Mountains had to be united. If he missed this opportunity, there would be no chance in the future.

"Being able to teach such an outstanding disciple, Junior Brother Yue must have even higher martial arts skills. I, Zuo, am not very talented, but I would like to learn a thing or two from Junior Brother Yue." Zuo Lengchan stopped the bleeding, bandaged the wound simply, and aimed directly at Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun shook his head slightly and said, "Senior Brother Zuo is a martial arts master. I know I cannot defeat him. Martial arts are first and foremost about strengthening the body, secondly about protecting the people, thirdly about traveling freely in the martial arts world, and finally about fighting fiercely. The Five Mountains Sword Sects are of the same origin, yet they are free to protect each other. This is good enough. Senior Brother Zuo's forcible fusion of the five major sects is a bit excessive."

"Hmph, the Demon Cult is powerful and brutal, and their hatred for our Five Mountains Sword Sect is as deep as the sea. If we can't truly merge with them, how can we fight against those demons?" Zuo Lengchan argued confidently, but he saw that Yue Buqun and Sanding gave him a slightly strange look, and he immediately understood. They had all been ambushed by the "Demon Cult", and it turned out that these people were actually the secret forces in their Songshan. This made him speechless.

"Senior Brother Zuo is a man of great talent and strategy, and he has many masters under his command. He only needs to send some outer disciples to defeat Hengshan without any chance of fighting back. If it weren't for Senior Brother Yue sending Junior Brother Linghu and Junior Brother Lingshan, I'm afraid the Three Dings of Hengshan would not be complete." Master Dingxian's words made Zuo Lengchan feel a little embarrassed. Impersonating the Demon Sect to attack Hengshan and being discovered was his biggest failure.

"Dongfang Bubai is dead, and Ren Woxing is old. His martial arts skills are probably not much better than ours. Senior Brother Zuo can defeat him alone. Without the threat of the world's number one master, the Demon Cult is not as powerful as before. The Five Mountains Sword Sects can just form an alliance, and there is no need to merge." Many people from the world's martial arts world gathered here, but Yue Buqun could not bring up factors such as the imperial court, Shaolin, and Wudang, so he had to talk about the Demon Cult.

"You are confused. Although Dongfang Bubai is a martial arts master, he has no interest in power. Who is Ren Woxing? He is a world hero. Now he is in charge of the Demon Cult and has reorganized the army with the intention of suppressing our righteous path. If we can't suppress his arrogance in this matter, it will be too late to regret it." Zuo Lengchan insisted on the Demon Cult threat theory and wanted to merge with the other factions.

Yue Buqun was about to say something when he suddenly heard a low voice in his ears. The voice's face turned serious and said, "Senior Brother Zuo is determined to unite with his sect, but we must guard our own sect. We cannot unite with those who share the same ideals. Huashan will not agree to this."

"Ridiculous! Factionalism harms both oneself and others. Countless inheritances have been lost due to so-called factionalism. Could it be..." Before Zuo Lengchan finished speaking, Lin Pingzhi took over: "Alliance Leader Zuo, I wish to obtain Sect Leader Zuo's Ice Palm. I wonder if 100,000 taels of silver will be enough?"

"You..." Zuo Lengchan was furious. This kid came to disrupt things again. Could it be that he really joined the Demon Cult?

"My name is Lin Pingzhi, I'm twenty years old and the best martial artist in the world. I once broke into the Black Wood Cliff to fight Dongfang Bubai, and set up a ring with Hangzhou Meizhuang. In a few months, I fought nearly a hundred battles of all sizes and never lost. As a juren and a local gentry, I built bridges and roads to help disaster victims. As a citizen of the Ming Dynasty, I fought against Japanese pirates to boost the prestige of our country. The current emperor personally awarded me the title of General Jinghai. As the eldest son of the Fuwei Escort Agency, I opened up trade routes and bestowed favors on more than a million people. Sect Leader Zuo, in terms of merits and achievements, is there anyone in the entire martial arts world who can compare with me?" Lin Pingzhi boasted for a while, but it was impossible to refute him.

But is what you are doing what a person in the underworld should do?
