Ask Wudang Chapter 079

※

The Wudang people did not know that Yuwence and Yuwenmie were members of the Vajra Sect, nor did they know that Yuwence was the culprit who injured Yu Daiyan back then. Seeing the undisguised killing intent in their eyes, they only thought they were violent and cruel thugs.

At this moment, the other party had laid down the gauntlet, and Wudang and Emei were in a difficult position, so they naturally could not refuse.

After some discussion, it was finally decided that Abbess Miejue, Yu Lianzhou, and Zhang Songxi would take on the challenge.

Abbess Miejue stepped forward first and said loudly, “I will take on the first round. Which esteemed member of your side will come to instruct me?”

Zhao Min said, “A’Da, go and experience the exquisite swordsmanship of the Emei Sect Leader.”

“Yes, Master.”

The middle-aged man named A’Da responded, then drew his sword and stood opposite Abbess Miejue.

“Please!”

After a moment of confrontation, Abbess Miejue clasped her fists in a salute, then drew her sword and swiftly thrust it towards A’Da’s face. It was a move from the Extinction Sword called “No-Self Extinction Realm.” Abbess Miejue had mastered the Emei swordsmanship and created two sword arts: one called Extinction Sword and the other called Absolute Sword. The Extinction Sword focused on simplicity and sharpness, while the Absolute Sword focused on subtle changes, both possessing astonishing power.

This current sword strike, with its pointed tip and invading sword qi, was indeed extraordinarily sharp.

Facing this sword, A’Da remained silent and met it with a move from the Great Sumeru Sword Style called “Mustard Seed Concealing Form.” As soon as this move was unleashed, although it was only a single point, it gave the illusion of infinite vastness, immediately suppressing Abbess Miejue’s sword momentum.

This Great Sumeru Sword Style was truly the pinnacle of Fang Dongbai’s lifelong swordsmanship essence. The sword technique was derived from the concept of “Sumeru in a mustard seed,” meaning that a vast Sumeru Mountain could perfectly fit into a tiny mustard seed. The key to this sword art lay in the three words “heavy,” “clumsy,” and “great.” It meant that even in an extremely small space, it could unleash immense power, moving freely even within a confined room. Every move combined offense and defense, and every stance had complex variations, making it truly impregnable.

Abbess Miejue’s cultivation was similar to A’Da’s, but she was ultimately a woman, and her innate strength was not as profound as A’Da’s. As soon as this sword art, with its emphasis on “heavy,” “clumsy,” and “great,” was unleashed, it immediately put her at a disadvantage.

However, Abbess Miejue did not retreat in the face of difficulty. Instead, she advanced against the wind. She saw her sword gesture rise, and the sword tip swiftly swept upwards. “No-Self Extinction Realm” immediately transformed into “Pushing Window to Gaze at Moon.” In an instant, a “clang” sound was heard as the two swords clashed. Before A’Da’s sword move could unleash its full power, the longsword in his hand snapped into two pieces with a resounding crack.

The longsword in Abbess Miejue’s hand was the Heavenly Sword, a divine weapon of the current era, with only the Dragon Slaying Saber able to contend with it.

As for the longsword in A’Da’s hand, it was merely a refined steel sword. When two swords clashed, how could it not break?

Without his longsword, A’Da was instantly like a toothless tiger. Even if his swordsmanship was superb, he was like a clever cook without rice.

Abbess Miejue succeeded with one sword, then swiftly thrust out three more swords, all moves from the Extinction Sword. Each move was incredibly sharp, forcing A’Da to continuously retreat until he finally exited the battle circle.

After his defeat, A’Da immediately walked to Zhao Min’s side, his face full of shame, and said, “This humble one has failed in his mission. Please punish me, Master.”

Zhao Min said, “A’Da, you don’t need to blame yourself. To be defeated by the Heavenly Sword, you are still glorious despite your defeat.”

She deliberately emphasized the words “Heavenly Sword,” speaking them for Abbess Miejue to hear. She meant that Abbess Miejue was merely relying on the advantage of the Heavenly Sword, and her true skill was nothing special.

Abbess Miejue did not offer any further explanation, her face full of arrogance, and said, “We won this round, didn’t we?”

Zhao Min said, “Indeed, you won. The Heavenly Sword truly lives up to its reputation.”

Abbess Miejue said no more and returned to her formation.

Next, Yu Lianzhou stepped forward and said loudly, “I will take on this round. Who from your side will grant me your guidance?”

Zhao Min smiled gently and said, “A’Er, go and learn from Second Hero Yu’s unique skill.”

“Yes, Master.”

A’Er responded and immediately stepped forward, his eyes fixed on Yu Lianzhou, his internal energy secretly circulating. Following closely, a series of “crackle, crackle” sounds erupted from his body, like popping beans.

Hearing this sound, Yu Lianzhou’s expression could not help but change, and the people of Wudang and Emei also looked at each other in astonishment.

Abbess Miejue, Song Yuanqiao, Zhang Songxi, Yin Liting, Mo Shenggu, and others, with their superior insight, all knew that this was a supreme martial art of the authentic Buddhist sect, from the outside in, without a trace of evil.

To possess a supreme martial art of the authentic Buddhist sect, yet serve the Mongol Yuan court.

In an instant, Yu Lianzhou thought of something and asked, “Are you from the Vajra Sect?”

A’Er did not speak, but Zhao Min spoke, “Second Hero Yu has good eyes. This servant of mine is indeed a member of the Vajra Sect.”

Upon hearing these words, the people of Wudang immediately became enraged and began to clamor, all wishing they could personally enter the fray.

Fortunately, Song Yuanqiao suppressed them, otherwise, it would have caused chaos.

Yu Lianzhou stared intently at A’Er, killing intent rising in his eyes, and asked coldly, “Who was the one who injured my third brother back then?”

A’San, from outside the arena, said, “It was me.” Then he added, “Do you want revenge? I also want revenge. Back then, Ye Qingfeng infiltrated the Prince’s Manor and used despicable means to kill my eldest brother. Today, every single one of you Wudang disciples will not escape.”

A’Er also said with chilling killing intent, “That’s right. If we don’t completely wipe out your Wudang Sect, we, the Yuwen brothers, swear we are not human.”

Yu Lianzhou sneered, “Heh, you dog thieves, you think too highly of yourselves. It’s easier for my eighth brother to kill you than to crush ants. If he were here, how could he tolerate you clowns jumping around?”

“You’re asking for death!”

A’Er immediately became furious. He let out a roar and threw a punch at Yu Lianzhou’s chest.

This punch was as fast as lightning. Halfway through the punch, his left fist swiftly surged forward, actually arriving first, striking directly at Yu Lianzhou’s face. The ferocity of his moves was truly rare.

Seeing A’Er’s left fist strike, Yu Lianzhou immediately raised both hands and used a move from Tai Chi Quan called “Lifting the Tail of the Sparrow,” deflecting the punch to the side. Immediately after, he saw his right foot solid, his left foot (empty), and he used the “Squeeze” (formula), adhering and following. His right palm lightly touched A’Er’s left wrist, and a horizontal force suddenly erupted.

The next instant, A’Er suddenly lunged forward, almost falling.

Fortunately, his skill was exquisite and his reactions were quick. He quickly took two steps forward, stabilizing his stance.

The onlookers, seeing this move, could not help but exclaim in unison.

Under this deflection, squeeze, and touch, A’Er only felt that his punch, which weighed over a thousand jin, was like striking into the vast ocean, disappearing without a trace or sound. After taking this move, his anger only increased. He immediately launched a series of rapid punches, his arm shadows blurring, as if dozens of arms were striking simultaneously, making the air crackle and filling the sky with fist shadows and fist force.

The crowd was once again startled by such a furious onslaught.

A’Er’s martial art was called the Vajra Subduing Demon Divine Power, the most domineering external martial art among the seventy-two ultimate techniques of the Shaolin Sect. It was driven purely by vigorous and masculine true energy, indestructible and invincible. When unleashed, it was incredibly fierce and could kill with a single blow. For thousands of years, it had been regarded as the Shaolin’s foremost external martial art, truly a pinnacle of external martial arts.
