Chapter 17 The Battle of Jinling

The young man asked: "Master, do you know that old man?"

Li Jichen replied: "Well, he has some origins. He is a spineless guy."

The young man continued to pester and said, "Master, please tell me whether that person has reached the state of enlightenment."

Li Jichen was a little lost. After a pause, he slowly said: "Master was led into the Jinling Sect when he was eight years old. It was when Jiang Qi was at its strongest. The Jinling Sect was the national sect of the Southern Tang Dynasty and was the number one in the world.

The sect has been around for a long time, and many small and medium-sized sects have attached themselves to the Jinling sect. The old man just now was named Chi Mingyuan, and he was about the same age as me. He was the head disciple of the Jincheng sect. The Jincheng sect was the second largest sect in Jinling City at the time. On the surface,

It is a vassal of our sect, but in fact it is used by the Chen family to constrain us. When Qi was about to attack the Guangling River, the Southern Tang Dynasty still had 200,000 naval troops, and its naval strength was far superior to that of the Northern Qi Dynasty. The Jincheng sect

They were all greedy and fearful of death. They tried their best to encourage the Li family to surrender, and also hoped to replace the Jinling faction when the dynasty changed. The Chen family had already been in trouble for more than a hundred years after the founding of the country, but their ability to judge the situation was not small.

, listened to the Jincheng faction’s slander, and after selling out several loyal ministers who were leading the battle, hooked up with the commander of Qi’s Southern Expedition, who is now the grandfather of King Wu, and finally saved the Chen family lineage and became one of Qi’s top three

One of the aristocratic families. The Jincheng sect also expanded rapidly and suppressed the Jinling sect everywhere. At that time, Jinling sent many traitors to join the Jincheng sect. Later, Jiang Cong promoted martial arts, and the Six Demons led by Yang Zheng provoked the world's sects. At that time, Chi Yuan was already a member of the Jincheng sect.

He is the leader of the sect, and he must have just opened the Eight Meridians. He really wants the Jincheng sect to be recognized by the court, and even poached two elders from the Jinling sect, hoping to win one of the three battles against the six demons, but

In the end, they suffered a disastrous defeat in three battles. Two years later, the Jincheng faction was disbanded due to financial problems. Chi Yuan later did not join the army or politics, but unexpectedly became the guardian of the Chen family."

The young man continued to ask: "Master, what is Chi Yuan's level now? Did he go to war back then? What was the record of the Jinling faction back then?"

Li Jichen said: "That year must have been when this man was at his most enthusiastic. He wanted to challenge Yang Zheng in the finale, but was defeated in three moves. But he was not ashamed of it, but rather proud of it. Later I learned that Yang Zheng originally thought that the Jincheng Sect was famous.

, there is always some ability to beat the pack. I didn’t expect that the leader’s three moves with all his strength were so unbearable, and he couldn’t handle his own half move with only three points of strength, so he was not merciful at all when evaluating the huge Jincheng sect.

Faced with this, he directly drove the Jincheng Sect into the mortal world. I guess Chi Yuan must have had a bad character after learning the truth. He was still wandering in the Eight Meridians for so many years and could not enter the realm of gushing springs. At that time, although our Jinling Sect was small in scale

There are a lot of things, but fortunately, the foundation is still there. In the three games, we barely managed two draws and one loss, and we ranked second on the Six Demons evaluation list, which is why we have our current independent status."

"Master, can you tell me more about the three battles between the Jinling Sect and the Six Demons?"

"The Jinling sect at that time was far from what it used to be. In order to maintain the sect, they had no choice but to use Tian Ji's horse racing strategy to let the strongest senior brother fight first. That is, the master who is now the head of Lu, also suffered a loss of six

After defeating the Jincheng sect, the demon underestimated the enemy and sent the weakest Jiang Shan, who is now the prince, to fight first. Although Jiang Shan is young, he has the true inheritance of the Yunmen sect. The most ruthless thing is that he has an extremely strong fighting spirit. My senior brother Zhan Zhan

Even though we have the upper hand, we cannot win. If we want to decide the winner, it must be a battle of life and death. Senior brother is benevolent and takes the initiative to stop, so it is a draw."

The young man said: "Well, I heard from my family about this battle."

Li Jichen continued: "The second battle is the battle between my uncle, the master, and the second demon, He Qingshan. He Qingshan is a disciple of the Huashan sect. The three sects of Huashan, Quanzhen, and Jinling have been in power for more than a hundred years. After the Jiang family established the country, the Huashan sect withered.

It was worse than the Jinling sect. I had never thought of a genius like He Qingshan. My master uncle had already entered the wind-controlling realm at that time. He Qingshan was only in the spring-spring realm. There were only a handful of people above the eight meridians. By the time he reached the wind-controlling realm,

There are only a handful of them, but realm is only a division of internal strength and is not the same as combat power. He Qingshan followed Yang Zheng in hundreds of battles on the Huangsha River, and his martial arts skills were unparalleled. Although that battle only lasted for one stick of incense, it was very impressive.

The teacher's mind was filled with excitement, and he benefited from it all his life. He Qingshan was an outstanding figure, focusing on both Qi and physical training, and his movements were impeccable. The teacher's uncle was at a disadvantage from the beginning and could only rely on his deep internal strength to support himself. Under heavy pressure,

He also displayed his unique skills to the fullest, and even admitted defeat calmly when he ran out of skills. After that day's duel, He Qingshan and my nephew reviewed the game until late at night. They were extremely upright and aboveboard, and they definitely didn't look like salesmen seeking glory.

, our Jinling sect can achieve what we have today, thanks to the deep friendship with He Qingshan that night." The mountain road from the mountain gate to the temple is gentle and wide, and the two teams receiving relief porridge are on the left side of the mountain road, with Li Jichen and three people separated by ten feet.

On the right side of the mountain road, the three of them were talking and walking, slower than the team. Li Jichen paused for a moment and looked at He Qizhou at the rear left. He Qizhou was very interested in the conversation of the three people and walked very slowly on purpose.

, had fallen to the back of the team at this time, when he heard the name He Qingshan, an inexplicable anger surged into his heart, and his expression became a little ferocious, but Lin Chuan couldn't hear a word clearly, he just knew that He Qizhou was listening.

The whispers on the other side were just followed silently.

Candlelights were already lit in the temple ahead. He Qizhou saw the strange look Li Jichen cast and thought, Oh no, eavesdropping has been discovered. He stuck out his tongue and bowed to the "middle-aged man" who was obviously in his seventh or eighth decade.

He cupped his hands into fists to express his apology, thinking that it was a pity that he wouldn't be able to hear anything later. The next time he found that bastard Lu Baogen, he must tell him the story of Yang Zheng and the others.

The young man next to Li Jichen also noticed it and asked in surprise: "Master, can those two guys hear us? Have they learned the method of hiding Qi? Why do I think the taller one just used it when he shot?

Wrist strength, not even a trace of internal strength?"

Li Jichen was actually a little impressed when he heard He Qizhou's evaluation of Wei Jinxian's moves. He also admired He Qizhou's timing of flying rocks, so he lowered his voice without deliberately lowering his voice and said to the young man next to him: "You are very accurate. They

There is no hidden qi mechanism. This kind of kung fu is generally a secret that is not taught by major sects, and it is impossible to learn it without the power of the six meridians. There is only one exception for people, that is, they deliberately hide their qi mechanism and control the pulse at all times.

Breathing, after years of training, it is possible to hide it from people who are higher than yourself."

The young man asked: "Is he a spy or an assassin?"

"Yes, you should be extremely careful when meeting such people. They can often defeat masters who are two or three levels higher than themselves by sneak attack." Li Jichen continued: "That kid's level is too low, but his hearing and eyesight are better than yours.

It exceeds the level of the six meridians, alas, what a pity."

The young man turned back and glared at He Qizhou unconvinced. He Qizhou was still secretly glad that they did not avoid him when talking. After listening to Li Jichen's words, he thought of Lu Baogen and felt a lot of resentment. He thought, is it right?

If you don't understand anything, then the old boy will never show up again?

The young man surnamed Xu continued to ask: "Master, you haven't talked about your own battle yet."

Li Jichen looked at Abbot Xincheng and said, "It's embarrassing to say that."

The old abbot took up the topic and said: "I was also present that day. The ultimate goal of the Qi court was to nationalize the world's martial arts, so it sincerely invited the local famous sects to watch the battle, in order to scare these sects. Mr. Zhenzhu's battle was not the same.

It's no less impressive than the previous one. I could tell that Mr. Zhenzhu had entered the Wellspring realm at that time, but Yang Zheng's realm was never seen from the beginning to the end.

Jin Ling School's kung fu emphasizes fairness and justice, and it is too stable when it comes to life and death fights. Mr. Zhenzhu is like an outlier among the Jin Ling School. He does not stick to what his master has learned and can always improve his moves and techniques according to his own ideas.

, the enemy can often be different from person to person, and they can attack quickly and decisively. This is more similar to Yang Zheng, He Qingshan and the others. Although their level is slightly lower than the first two sect members, their combat power is definitely not weak.

Both sides used swords in this battle. Mr. Li must have learned the lesson from the previous battle. His first move was a thunderous strike. The same move had a different rhythm and intensity. It even incorporated the skills used by the opponent in the previous two battles.

Yang Zhengying's moves were unexpected. He took more than 20 steps back before he could stabilize his body. Mr. Zhenzhu attacked more than 400 moves, but none of them was repeated. Yang Zheng just took it hard.

After these more than 400 moves, he didn't even fight back. Tsk tsk, he was really able to attack smoothly and defend without leakage. The previous battle was not enough to watch, but this battle was really exciting. And then..."

"Then there was a move I repeated. This move was like rain hitting banana trees. In fact, it has some changes. It's not that I can't use other moves. I just thought that this move might have a chance to continue to suppress the opponent." Li Jichen took up the topic and continued.

: "Then Yang Zheng made his move. Maybe he saw this move repeated and had a pre-judgment. More likely, he thought I was out of skill and didn't want to waste any more time."

"Lao Na feels that there are some elements of both, but the former may be more powerful. Those more than four hundred moves are really amazing. Then Yang Zheng handed over two sword techniques. These two moves have been used by Lao Na for more than thirty years.

I have never forgotten it, but it is a pity that more than thirty years have passed and it seems that I have never remembered it."

Li Jichen continued: "Yang Zheng turned a blind eye to my move of hitting the banana with rain, took half a step forward, softly read two words in his mouth: "The wind rises", then raised the sword and raised it gently, haha, I am so smug.

That move suddenly vanished into thin air. A sword energy like a violent wind surged towards me as the tip of his sword was raised. I could feel countless sword points coming from all directions. I knew it was a move that was both imaginary and real.

But no matter what, he didn't know where the real move was. In desperation, he used his sword instead of the sword and used the Splashing Wind Saber Technique. He used the real move to build a dam all around. As expected, our swords didn't touch anything. His move

All the moves turned into feints. Before he finished one move, he just raised his sword to his chest and took a step forward to deliver the second move. He whispered the word "Yun Yong" in his mouth, and the sword trembled like a wave.

I cut it over, and bursts of sword intent seeped in from the gaps of the Splashing Wind Knife like clouds. At this time, I was almost desperate, but thinking that the two hundred years of Jinling Sect's foundation would be in this battle, I became ruthless and poured out everything in my body.

The true energy was concentrated on the tip of the sword, removing all barriers, and thrust it straight into the opponent's chest, hoping to injure both of them. However, Yang Zheng simply turned the horizontally-cut sword around his wrist and blocked my life-threatening stab.

Then..." Li Jichen still remembered that moment clearly, and suddenly fell into deep thought when he mentioned this.

"Then what happened?" Three voices sounded almost at the same time. It turned out that He Qizhou and Lin Chuan had unknowingly left the team and gradually walked a few feet behind the three abbots. They asked the question at the same time as the thin young man.

"Then Yang Zheng handed out the third move, shouted "Landslide", and the sword fell from the top of my head like a big knife. I could no longer draw out a trace of true energy. The countless sword energy stabbed me so much that I could only close my eyes and subconsciously raised my head.

Blocking with the sword, I knew that once I used a move like his, I would never be able to stop it. That was the first time I felt that death was coming. And then..." Li Jichen paused again.

"Again? What next?" He Qizhou shouted.

The abbot continued: "Then I saw Yang Zheng slashing with his sword, and Mr. Li raised his sword to block. There was a deafening explosion. Mr. Li fell three feet away, and Yang Zheng's imperial sword was broken into nine pieces.

Yang Zheng threw away the broken sword in his hand, said two words: "tie," turned around and left. The Jinling Sect achieved the minimum requirement of two draws equaling one victory and preserved the independence of the mountain gate. Mr. Zhenzhu became famous in one battle.

"Northern Yuanbao, Southern Pearl" became famous all over the world."

"Actually, I tried my best with the first two moves. When Yang Zheng found that I had no strength to resist, he had already used more than half of the third move. He forcibly took back all the overflowing zhenqi, even the imperial sword.

Unable to withstand the overbearing energy of this move, it exploded. The backlash probably caused me internal injuries, but I was only slightly injured. Later, Yang Zheng agreed to donate the broken sword to the Jinling Sect.

We have carefully studied that sword. It is a real magic weapon. Others thought it was broken by my sword. Haha, to be able to break such a hard yet soft sword into pieces, Yang Zheng must have at least reached the realm of wind control.

, but most of the time he only used the peak strength of the Eight Meridians to receive the moves. To be honest, if he really used his full strength, I would never be able to receive three of his moves. Only He Qingshan stayed that day and reviewed all the moves between the two sides.

After the battle, He Qingshan gave the three moves used by Yang Zheng to the sect without reservation. He said that because I caught two moves, he gave them two moves, and then said that he realized the meaning from the sword I thrust out at the end.

He solved a problem that has been bothering him, so the third move was an exchange. That set of swordsmanship originated from Huashan. After being improved by Yang Zheng and He Qingshan, it was completely reborn.

Yang Zheng was even more impressed. We spent more than ten years creating the Guangling Seven Swords based on these three swords and combining them with the characteristics of the Jinling sect, thereby laying the foundation for joining the six major sects. That broken handle

The sword has now become the treasure of our sect, not only because it was the beginning of the Seven Swords of Guangling, but also because of Yang Zheng's gift through He Qingshan: "The sword is like a gentleman, he would rather break than bend, the family, the country, the world, our life

If a martial artist does not have great wisdom, how can he not have great courage?" The old master happily took the eight characters "great wisdom and courage, would rather break than bend" as the purpose of our sect. All sects in the world call the six of them the six demons who destroyed the sect and took over the sect, but for reshaping our sect

To me, it is no exaggeration to call him one of the Six Immortals."

"Master, I understand," the young man surnamed Xu lowered his head and said.

Abbot Xincheng also said: "How good that I have learned the lesson."

Everyone had already stopped at the entrance of the temple. He Qizhou, who was agitated, said: "That traitor He Qingshan is not worthy."
