Jie Yan was delighted; he was about to step forward to express his gratitude when Li Yijie calmly said, "Jie Yan Shixiong, please take my Shimei and leave first. Lu Zongmen wants to have a martial art competition, I can't disappoint him and the audience. Lu Zongmen, please. " Lu Qian did not even look at him; he rushed toward Nangong Xue and blocked her with one hand. He laughed and said, "Martial Niece Nangong, as long as you admit in front of everybody that this sword is the token of love you gave me, we can use it to prove that I have harmed you maliciously. In this martial art competition between your Shixiong and I will concede defeat without a fight. What do you think?"
As soon as Nangong Xue heard Li Yijie call her 'Shimei' without any emotion, she felt as if she had fallen into an ice cave. She angrily said, "If I admit it, will you really throw away your sword and admit defeat, and give the Meng Zhu position to my Shixiong?" Lu Qian smiled and said, "Of course. A gentleman's word is like a whip to a horse."
Li Yijie called out, "You can't! I can't let your reputation be tarnished because of me! " With a bitter smile Nangong Xue said, "Don't worry, I am only your Shimei. No matter what I do, I won't tarnish your reputation even half a bit." Lu Qian laughed and said, "What harm will there be? As long as you nod your head, I am not an irresponsible heartless man. The position of Kunlun's Madame will be yours. "
Li Yijie angrily said, "Lu Zongmen, I respect you a foot, but you shouldn't bully me ten feet. We are having a martial art competition, but you are talking dirty about my Shimei and taking liberties with your Martial Niece in front of everybody. What are you talking about?" She raised her sword and like a flash of lightning she thrust it toward Lu Qian. Lu Qian was still indifferent; he used two of his fingers to catch the blade of the sword. Suddenly he felt a strong force pass through the sword; by the time he pulled his hand back, half of his index finger had been cut off. He was in so much pain that he sucked in a mouthful of cold air. He brandished his sword and attacked fiercely, but his moves were messy and completely out of order.
Li Yijie pressed forward step by step. His sword moves were nimble, he saw all of Lu Qian's openings. Lu several steps backward until his right foot, he knew that he was at the edge of the stage................. Li Yijie's sword. Li's sword chopping toward his shoulder...
.. Li Li's to's's's.... Li.......... Li's.................. Li.... hand............................... ................ Lu Qian felt his' dan tian 'empty. Immediately a surge of boundless internal energy overflowed, shaking his body so that he was thrown out of the stage. He fell to the ground. His hand was full of dirt. Exerting his strength, a few strands of powder fell from his fingers........
.... "Li Yijie laughed." Lu Zhangmen, "he said," You have seen through my carelessly written sword manual. I can't say that your practice is wrong, it's just that my stock is too sloppy and ordinary. Hmm, the move you just used is called 'kneading dirt into powder'. Compared to 'kneading wood into powder', it is still a bit inferior. Xiao Di's martial art skill is meager, I can only write to this level. " Although he was belittling himself, he was actually humiliating Lu Qian for stealing the sword manual. He was also saying that he could not even beat a stupid ox and a wooden horse.
Lu Qian was furious. He spread out his arms and threw the Kunlun disciple who came to help him far away. Li Yijie did not make fun of him anymore. He was just about to look at the Nangong Xue when Yu Shuanglin blocked his way. Yu Shuanglin held a bamboo crutch in his hand and said, "Young Hero Li is indeed a young hero. You defeated Lu Zhangmen so easily in just a few moves. I am itching to be the Alliance Leader. This old man knows that I am not qualified. I only want to ask Young Hero Li to accompany me to exercise my muscles and bones. Please make your move. "
Li Yijie gently tapped the scabbard in the hollow of his palm. He laughed and said, "I won't use a sword. Let's use a stick to fight a stick. I will use this scabbard to meet Yu Zhangmen's crutch."
Since Yu Shuanglin's debut, he had never heard such disrespectful words. He exhaled through his nose and humphed coldly. "Overconfident brat." He raised his bamboo crutch and attacked first. Li Yijie's mind was clear. His mind was filled with the sword stances and diagrams from the secret manual, while he continuously recited his Shifu's explanation. In this battle, neither side had any advantage over the other; it was a contest of internal energy. Yu Shuanglin had been famous for dozens of years, but Li Yijie's internal energy was not the least bit inferior to his. The crowd had already secretly praised him.
The two men's shadows flashed and the battle turned into a flash of light and shadow. Although they were evenly matched, Yu Shuanglin's breathing was not as smooth as it was at the beginning. Perhaps it had something to do with his age. Li Yijie's breathing was still steady and long. Suddenly with a loud shout he leaped up and smashed the scabbard toward Yu Shuanglin's head. Yu Shuanglin raised his bamboo crutch, but listening to the sound of the wind, it was hard to tell whether he could block it or not. Just as the two weapons were about to collide, Li Yijie flipped his hand sideways. The scabbard swept across the bamboo crutch horizontally. The invisible sword aura aroused a distant big tree and broke it on the spot.
Li Yijie took a step back and pointed the scabbard diagonally to the ground. He bowed slightly and said, "Junior was rude and did not dare to damage Elder Yu's old sword." Yu Shuanglin chuckled and said, "Amazing! At least Young Hero Li is considerate of this old man's old age and left me something to rely on. You cherish this dead object so much and you have a kind heart. You are definitely not Peng Zhanglao's murderer. Earlier I listened to the slanderous words of a villain and misunderstood you. I hope Young Hero Li will not take offense. "
Li Yijie forced a smile and said, "Junior has been misunderstood many times. I don't care about this one time." He cast a sidelong glance at Nangong Xue. She had her eyes closed and was being treated by Jie Yan, so she did not notice his gaze.
Yu Shuanglin raised his arms and said in a clear voice, "This old man is now supporting Young Hero Li of Huashan Pai as the Alliance Leader. If anyone is not convinced, they will have to pass through me, Yu Shuanglin!" He repeated this several times. At first there was no response from the crowd, but then someone took the lead and shouted, "Young Hero Li is the Alliance Leader! Young Hero Li is the Alliance Leader! "This time there was a chorus of cheers and shouts.
Yu Shuanglin smiled and said, "Young Hero Li, you have won the hearts of the people. Reverend Tong Zhi, please announce the result." Tong Zhi was also more optimistic about Li Yijie, so he immediately said, "If there are no objections, we will support Young Hero Li as …" Lu Qian suddenly shouted, "Wait, I have an objection. Li Yijie is not allowed to be the Wulin Alliance Leader!" At first he always spoke with a mischievous tone, but now his voice was sharp and his tone was cold.
Although Nangong Xue did not open her eyes, she could clearly hear what was being said. When she heard Lu Qian's words, she was furious. As soon as Jie Yan withdrew his internal energy, she shouted, "Why not? My Senior Martial Brother competed with you in martial arts and won fair and square. Everyone clearly saw how good his martial arts were. We have already agreed that the Alliance Leader position will be given to the winner of the martial arts competition. Therefore, it is only right and proper for my Shixiong to be the Alliance Leader. "
Lu Qian said, "His fault lies in his martial arts. When he defeated Yu Zhanglao, I don't think he used the Huashan sword technique." Nangong Xue said, "So what if he didn't use it? The Heroes Assembly is for the Wulin Alliance Leader, not our Sect Leader. Who said that we must use our school's sword technique? Sect Leader Lu, don't tell me that when you fight with the Devil Cult, you must first tell them whether this move or that style is the Kunlun sword technique? "
"Miss Nangong is right!" "Sect Leader Lu, you have lost and you are not convinced. Are you a child trying to be a scoundrel?" "Don't make trouble. Of course it is Young Hero Li. What's there to argue about?"
Lu Qian waited until the noise died down a little. With a cold laugh he said, "We chose the Alliance Leader because we want him to lead everybody to exterminate the Devil Cult. But since 'Young Hero Li' used the Cult's profound martial arts, he was able to come out on top. If we let such a good friend of the Devil Cult hold such an important position, what do we expect him to do?" "Sect Leader Lu," Yu Shuanglin angrily said, "Do you take pleasure in sowing discord? We, the Beggar Clan, have been deceived by you once; is it not enough? Young Hero Li, as long as you give the order, I will order the Beggar Clan to throw this kid out. He thinks he is the Sect Leader of Kunlun; I am not afraid of him! "
With a bitter smile Li Yijie said, "Sect Leader Lu, this is a once in a hundred years opportunity to speak the truth. I have indeed learned the Devil Cult's secret manual, yet I still practiced the martial arts." Lu Qian was very proud of himself. "Li Yijie," he said, "You have colluded with the Devil Cult's demons; the truth is there. What else do you want to say? Get down here! "
Li Yijie said, "If I really want to quibble, I don't need to agree first. A real man stands between the heaven and the earth; he must have a clear conscience. Just because I have learned some martial arts, you want to accuse me of colluding with demons; that's a bit too presumptuous. "There were some people under the stage who were wavering, but after hearing his words, they all agreed.
Suddenly the Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader took several steps forward and warmly said, "Young man, you were bewitched by others and went astray. But as long as you sincerely repent, it is not too late. You must kill this witch in front of everybody to show that you no longer have anything to do with the Devil Cult. Henceforth the two of you are irreconcilable. Everybody here can be your witness. Later on we will still regard you as our Meng Zhu. "
Lu Qian was stunned. "Shu … Shibo?" he called out. The Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader regarded him as a complete failure; he did not say even half a word to him. With a wave of his hand, several Kongtong Sect disciples used thick hemp rope to drag Chu Menglin onto the stage. They saw that her entire body was tied up, her hands were tied behind her back, and her mouth was stuffed with a ball of hemp.
Li Yijie was startled. "Miss Chu?" He asked, "You …" If Chu Menglin had appeared in front of him a few days earlier, perhaps he would be so angry that in a moment of impulse he would really kill her. But this time his mind was calm, his mind was filled with the image of Chu Menglin's cute and charming face when they were traveling together. He sighed and said, "I am sorry, Miss Chu is indeed my old friend, I cannot do it. But if in the future she makes things difficult for everybody, Zaixia will do everything in my power to stop her. "
Lu Qian seized this opportunity and called out, "Excellent! You can't bear to kill the Devil Cult's Da Xiaojie, so later on you can't bear to kill the rest of the Cult's people. When the Devil Cult massacred our righteous fellow followers, they were not even half as soft-hearted as you are! "Yu Shuanglin dejectedly said," Since Li Shaoxia has abandoned himself, Laofu cannot help you. "Leaning on his crutch, he slowly walked away.
Suddenly a young disciple of the Kunlun Sect leaped onto the stage and said, "He can't bear to do it, so junior will do it. Our humble Sect's Lu Zhangmen will still be the Meng Zhu." "Come back …" Lu Qian shouted. The young disciple was eager to gain merit, he raised his saber to chop down, but before he could touch Chu Menglin's neck, a shadow suddenly flashed in front of Chu Menglin and waved his palm. The young disciple was unable to stand steadily and was forced to retreat several steps. "You … who are you?" he angrily asked. As soon as the word 'you' left his mouth, the steel saber in his hand broke into pieces and fell to the ground. He knew that the opponent was an unfathomable martial art master, so he was so frightened that his voice trembled.
Jiang Liechen coldly said, "If you dare to touch her, I will make your blood splatter on the spot. Get lost." His voice was not loud, but it was cold. The young disciple went limp and crawled down the stage. Jiang Liechen did not even look back. His two fingers flicked the air and the ropes binding Chu Menglin's body snapped. He also took the ball of hemp from her mouth. Although most of the Wulin people did not recognize him, they could feel his fierce murderous aura.
The Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader was eager to see the world in chaos; he smiled and said, "Young Master Jiang has graced us with his presence, why must you be so angry and harm the harmony? Didn't you say that you are a disciple of the Kunlun Sect? This is the Kunlun Sect's Sect Leader. Quickly kowtow and acknowledge him as your Master. Hey, hey, Lu Zhangmen, you are really outstanding. Even the Shaozhu of the Sacrifice Shadow Sect is your Excellency's disciple. "
Lu Qian heard that he was trying to kill him; he anxiously waved his hands and said, "No, no … I … Jiang … Young Master Jiang …" "Is that so?" Jiang Liechen asked. "When and where did I say that? Do you have any witnesses?" If the Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader wanted to explain, it would inevitably involve the fact that he helped the Qing court to protect the tribute.
Chu Menglin suddenly stomped Jiang Liechen's foot and angrily said, "I told you I don't need you to care about me! You want me to see you snatch the blueprint with my own eyes, you want me to admit that you are stronger than me … "Jiang Liechen disdainfully said," Ji Qiannian said the blueprint is in Shaolin Temple. In fact, you have plenty of time. If you don't have the ability to seize the opportunity, don't make a fuss about injustice. "
Chu Menglin angrily said, "Do you think I was captured by accident? You are very wrong. I used a little trick to deliberately let them bring me here. I have been patiently waiting until now. Li Dage is about to become the Meng Zhu, Tong Zhi Monk is about to take out the blueprint, and now you are making trouble for me! "She did not mention that before Li Yijie became the Meng Zhu, she would have her head rolled first.
Jiang Liechen no longer bickering with her; he slowly paced around the field and said, "Turns out the heroes assembly is a farce. I hate you so-called upright people the most. Your mouth is full of hypocrisy and hypocrisy, but in fact you are fishing for fame and compliments, hypocrites wearing a bright and virtuous cloak. Who do you think you are?" By this time his footsteps had stopped in front of the Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader.
The Kongtong Sect's Sect Leader forced himself to calm down. He said, "Young Master Jiang is looking down on heroes like this. Isn't it too arrogant?"
With a cold laugh Jiang Liechen said, "Then tell me, who here is worthy of my respect? Shaolin Pai's Sect Leader, Tongchan Dashi, is a martial art master who does not belong to this world. He does not want to see mediocre people like you. He has been in closed-door training for many years and has not come here. Wudang Pai was founded by Zhang Sanfeng Zushi, and has been passed down to this day. The number of talents has withered, the essence of Taiji swordsmanship is less than ten percent. Lin Kong Daozhang, your conscience is good, but speaking about martial art skill, I dare not flatter you. Your disciples are also good-for-nothing, they are all flatterers. They don't even know what the Tear of the Broken Soul is, yet they think they are clever. They silently went to forge a sword and gave it to you. I don't know whether you should be angry or angry. Kongtong Kunlun is not even worth mentioning. "
Ever since Jiang Liechen appeared, Li Yijie witnessed him bickering with Chu Menglin, and then he mocked him all over the place. All along he was staring blankly and could not say anything. It was only after a long time that he blurted out, "Jingchen, you … you are really …"
Jiang Liechen cast a sidelong glance toward him. With an indifferent laugh he said, "Brother Li, how are you? Congratulations on learning our Cult's marvelous, unequaled, supreme, unrivalled swordsmanship. This group of good-for-nothing wine sacks are not your match, are they? You have really given our Cult a lot of face. What's so good about being the Meng Zhu? Since you have contributed so much, why don't I bestow you the title of Guardian Cult Leader? It's not like we don't refuse anybody. Some people want to join us, but they can't. "
