Singing with a Sword

The following is the main text of the novel "{?$article_title?}" ({?$jieqi_title?}) provided by {?$jieqi_sitename?}. Please enjoy! After relaying the news of Li Sishui's death, the man led Luo Rong to the woods. Sha Tongtian naturally followed, and Wang Zan, out of friendship, also came to lend a hand. Moreover, the man told them that there was a master with Ah San, and just in case, these three masters were dispatched together.

Each of the three possessed the strength of the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm. Add to that Luo Rong's two elders and sixteen disciples, and the fifty disciples brought by Wang Zan, and even if the opponent were a super expert at the ninth level of the Qi Condensation Realm, they would likely be in deep trouble!

When Luo Rong and the others arrived at the woods, they heard Yi Ranxiao's words. He only knew that this Indian man's real name was Yi Ranxiu, but he did not know that he had already changed his name.

Upon hearing the name Yi Ranxiu, Gui Buzhong grinned and said, "Yi Ranxiu? Hehe, that's a pretty nice name! Little brother, from now on, that name is mine! I'll be called Yi Ranxiu from now on!"

Yi Ranxiao glanced around and saw many figures in the darkness, already surrounding the two of them. There were at least fifty of them! And every single one of them was a cultivator, with a high level of cultivation!

The big thing is bad!

Gui Buzhong still had the mood to discuss the name issue. Yi Ranxiao smiled wryly and said, "Brother, if you want that name, you can take it. Even if it meant sharing the name Yi Ranxiao with you, I wouldn't mind. But now—"

"Really?" Gui Buzhong clapped his hands excitedly. "Haha, then I'll be called Yiranxiao from now on too! Haha, I like the name Yiranxiao more than Yiranxiu!"

Yi Ranxiao wanted to remind him that they were now surrounded, but at that moment Luo Rong and his large group of men had already emerged from the darkness and were less than a hundred meters away from the two of them, so there was no need to remind them.

But Gui Buzhong still had a smile on his face, seemingly oblivious to the danger, and muttered to himself, "Yiranxiao, Yiranxiao, haha, from now on I'll be called Yiranxiao too!"

Luo Rong scrutinized the mischievous boy. His apprentice had said this person was highly skilled, perhaps even surpassing himself, but where was the air of a master? He was simply a playful child! Moreover, he was arrogant and disdainful of everyone; with so many of them present, he hadn't even glanced at them!

Sha Tongtian didn't care whether the old man was a master or not; his target was Ah San, who had killed his spirit beast. He immediately took a step forward, pointed at Yi Ranxiao, and shouted, "Are you Ah San? Did you kill my Little Black?"

Yi Ranxiao was a man of principle, and replied, "That's right, I killed that little black dog." Upon hearing this, Sha Tongtian flew into a rage, pointed at Yi Ranxiao, and shouted, "Fine, since you admit it, then I won't be polite!" As he spoke, he flipped his hand and took out a crescent shovel, which he smashed down on Yi Ranxiao's head.

With a clang, Yi Ranxiao didn't even move, and Sha Tongtian's crescent shovel was swung back by something. Sha Tongtian's bull-like eyes immediately glared at Gui Buzhong. He was sure it was this person who had made the move, and he couldn't help but roar angrily, "Damn it, who are you to dare to go against me?"

Gui Buzhong finally looked at the group of people, but he still laughed and said, "Who am I? Damn it, didn't you all hear my conversation with my brother just now? I am now called Yi Ranxiao, and I am the elder brother of my brother Yi Ranxiao!"

Sha Tongtian sneered, "Are you out of your mind? You're even offering to share a name with someone!" Gui Buzhong's face finally showed some displeasure. At this moment, Luo Rong, who hadn't spoken until now, finally spoke, "Brother Sha, don't be impulsive, let's retreat first." Sha Tongtian grumbled in dissatisfaction, "Why retreat?"

Luo Rong hadn't even clearly seen Gui Buzhong's movement as he blocked the crescent shovel, which showed that the old man's strength was definitely extraordinary! Besides, he couldn't see through the old man's Yuan Qi level, meaning his cultivation was at least at the sixth level of the Qi Condensation Realm! However, with so many of them attacking together, they could definitely kill this guy. The problem was, what kind of background did this old man have? If he had powerful backing, then they couldn't just kill him arbitrarily.

Luo Rong glared at Sha Tongtian, telling him to shut up, before turning to Gui Buzhong and asking, "Senior, may I ask your esteemed name and which school you belong to?"

Gui Buzhong laughed heartily when he heard him address him as "senior." Luo Rong was completely baffled, thinking, "I asked you your name and sect; if you don't want to answer, just don't. Why laugh like that?"

Gui Buzhong parted the white hair that was obscuring his face, revealing the face of a young man. Anyone could see that this so-called old man was at most thirty years old! But Luo Rong, on the other hand, was at least forty! A forty-year-old calling a thirty-year-old "senior," this...

"Haha, that's hilarious! You old codger actually called me 'senior'! It's absolutely laughable!" Gui Buzhong burst into laughter. Even with Luo Rong's excellent self-control, being embarrassed in front of so many disciples and juniors made him slightly angry. He said, "Senior... cough cough... I misspoke just now. Now, let me ask you, who are you and which sect are you from?"

Gui Buzhong thought for a moment, then replied very seriously, "Ah, actually, I am the founding ancestor of the Fengyu Sect!" Upon hearing this, Luo Rong's face turned pale instantly, and he calmly said, "Originally, I knew that your cultivation was profound and that it was not easy to reach this level, so I couldn't bear to kill you and was willing to spare your life. But you don't know what's good for you, so don't blame me for being impolite!"

As mentioned before, when Luo Rong is extremely angry, he will appear calm on the surface. He is now extremely angry.

Gui Buzhong glanced at these people with disdain, but then moved closer to Yi Ranxiao and whispered, "Brother, I know there's a hole in the ground to the west. I'll throw you in there later, and then I'll deal with these people by myself!"

How could Yi Ranxiao let him fight alone? Although he had learned from their time together these past few days that Gui Buzhong was a master of the seventh level of Qi Condensation, he still couldn't withstand so many people attacking at once! Just as he was about to retort, Gui Buzhong glared at him fiercely—the first time Gui Buzhong had shown such a serious expression! Yi Ranxiao's heart skipped a beat, realizing the danger of the situation. His elder brother's cultivation was profound; he could handle these people alone, but if he joined the battle, his brother would inevitably have to spare some of his strength to protect him, making the situation even more unfavorable for their side!

So, we should listen to our eldest brother!

Gui Buzhong grabbed Yi Ranxiao and, with a gust of wind, rushed to the cave and shoved her inside. The forest had a peculiar geological structure with many cracks in the ground. Some of the larger cracks became caves. This particular cave was over three meters deep, with a narrow entrance just large enough for an adult man to enter.

With Yi Ranxiao inside the cave and Gui Buzhong guarding the entrance, those people naturally couldn't attack her. This allowed Gui Buzhong to fight freely and engage the group in a fierce battle!

"Haha, all of you come at me at once!" Gui Buzhong pointed at Luo Rong and laughed tauntingly.

“Actually, if you just hand over that Indian guy, we can spare your life. Why do you have to commit suicide?” Luo Rong waved his right hand slightly, and instantly, a breeze blew through the woods.

Gui Buzhong laughed loudly, looking up at the sky: "He is my brother! Someone wants to kill my brother, how could I—"

"Brother, watch out for the wind!" Yi Ranxiao's warning came from inside the cave. Last time, he was hit by Luo Rong's "Wind Arrives, Sword Arrives," and the painful lesson was still fresh in his mind!

Gui Buzhong's expression changed, and he immediately noticed the wind that suddenly blew from Luo Rong's direction! Sure enough, dozens of sword intents were hidden in this wind!

"Good heavens, that's ruthless!" Gui Buzhong cursed inwardly, his body immediately radiating a surge of Yuan energy!

hum~ hum~ hum~

The fluctuation of Yuan energy blew the wind mixed with sword intent back!

Luo Rong immediately dodged, shouting, "Everyone, scatter!" Those disciples who hadn't had time to retreat screamed in agony, their bodies riddled with gashes! Blood gushed from these wounds. Sword intent was far sharper than any sword or saber itself!

"Sect Leader Luo, your swordsmanship failed to strike the enemy, but instead injured a large number of your own men! Behold, Sha Wujing!" Sha Tongtian roared, and the crescent shovel in his hand burst forth with golden light, slashing down at Gui Buzhong.

Gui Buzhong shifted his feet, his body flashing, dodging Sha Wujing's attack. Sha Wujing's crescent shovel struck again, but Gui Buzhong's movements were too agile, his footwork and agility simply too fast! He couldn't hit him at all! In anger, Sha Wujing flipped his right hand, revealing a string of Buddhist prayer beads!

The prayer beads burst forth with golden light, snapped their strings, and dozens of beads shot towards Gui Buzhong simultaneously! Each bead attacked a different vital point, so no matter how much he dodged, what good would it do?

Gui Buzhong flipped his hand and took out his green sword. The green sword flashed with green light. With one thrust, dozens of phantoms appeared and fiercely stabbed at the Buddhist beads!

boom! boom! boom! boom……

The sword-shaped phantoms struck each Buddhist bead precisely, shattering them with every single strike!

Sha Wujing roared in fury. Damn it, these prayer beads were his most prized possessions. He only had three strings, and this guy had destroyed one of them! He was so unwilling to accept it!

"drink!"

The crescent-shaped shovel gleamed with golden light as it fiercely slammed towards Gui Buzhong. Gui Buzhong swung his green sword in response, and with a resounding clang, the sword clashed violently with the hard crescent-shaped shovel!

hum~ hum~ hum~

A violent surge of Yuan energy emanated, knocking the weaker disciples to the ground! It uprooted and destroyed the flowers, plants, and trees in the forest! Sand and stones flew everywhere, creating chaos in the area!

The green sword and the crescent shovel were locked in a stalemate in mid-air. Sha Wujing's face turned red as he tried to suppress the sword. But Gui Buzhong remained calm and suddenly chuckled, "The great monk's crescent shovel isn't hard enough!"

Click~

The green sword actually sliced ​​the crescent shovel in two! The great monk, shocked and enraged, couldn't retract his force in time and stumbled forward. Gui Buzhong kicked out! Sha Tongtian grunted and flew backward!

In less than a minute, Gui Buzhong defeated two of the opponent's key generals!

"Good heavens, let me, Wang Zan, have a go at you!" Wang Zan, the abbot of Hengyun Temple, had somehow leaped high into the air and was now above Gui Buzhong's head. Talismans covered with mysterious runes rained down on Gui Buzhong like a downpour!

Boom~boom~boom~boom~

One by one, the talismans exploded, turning into dazzling, scorching sparks that directly enveloped Gui Buzhong, who was unable to escape in time!
