Chapter 45
Master and Disciple Battle

Yue Buqun carefully sized up Liancheng.

Since Liancheng had just broken through to the first-rate level, his internal energy was still difficult to control, and it was constantly fluctuating without his awareness.

Yue Buqun could sense that his second disciple's internal energy was as vast as the ocean, his blood as hot as the sun, incredibly powerful.

Just by looking at him, Yue Buqun felt that Liancheng was even stronger than he was before he had cultivated the Xuanming Divine Palm!

He was probably not far from reaching the top-tier level!

"Master?" Liancheng reminded him, because Yue Buqun had been staring at him for a long time without saying a word.

"Ahem!" Yue Buqun came to his senses and said with a smile, "Cheng'er, you held back earlier because you were afraid of hurting your Shijie. Now, let me test your strength myself. Go all out, I am now a top-tier expert, there won't be any problem."

"Oh, good."

Liancheng readily agreed.

He wanted to see how powerful a top-tier expert was.

Without a word, he raised his sword and stabbed at Yue Buqun. The tip of the sword hummed and vibrated, unleashing incredibly sharp sword energy.

Good!

Yue Buqun praised, but he didn't dare to take it lightly, he grabbed Linghu Chong's Qingfeng Sword and met the attack with the Nurturing My Sword Technique.

The two swords collided, and terrifying sword energy erupted, instantly tearing the surrounding rocks to pieces.

Fortunately, Ning Zhongze and Linghu Chong were far away, otherwise they would have been seriously injured. It was evident that the internal energy of these two was so strong that even seasoned first-rate experts could not withstand it.

Liancheng frowned, sensing the chilling coldness from Yue Buqun's internal energy.

This internal energy was extremely domineering, as if it wanted to freeze everything.

Luckily, Liancheng's internal energy was strong, he immediately dispelled the chill by increasing his force, and then began to attack with the Tai Xuan Sword Art. Every move was effortless and natural, his will directed the blade.

Yue Buqun's Nurturing My Sword Technique was instantly suppressed, he immediately used Liancheng's Sword Technique.

However, Liancheng's Sword Technique was still suppressed.

This surprised Yue Buqun greatly, "This sword art seems to have no set form, it's all over the place, like a child playing with a fire stick. However, every strike is smooth and exquisite, always taking the upper hand, completely suppressing even the Nurturing My Sword Technique and Liancheng's Sword Technique. It is truly impressive!"

Of course, the key was that Liancheng's internal energy was too abundant, his exquisite sword art combined with his formidable internal energy, even the top first-rate experts would have a hard time winning!

Thinking of this, Yue Buqun became even more excited.

He originally thought Liancheng was strong enough, but he didn't expect Liancheng to be even stronger, seemingly limitless.

In that case, he had to give this precious disciple some more intensity!

"Xuanming True Qi!"

Yue Buqun muttered to himself, his chilling internal energy circulated faster within his body.

His speed instantly increased, the originally upright and powerful Nurturing My Sword Technique now became incredibly domineering, wherever the sword energy passed, everything seemed to be covered in frost.

Liancheng dared not be careless, his Tai Xuan Body Art moved swiftly, each time barely dodging the cold energy, causing goosebumps to appear on his skin.

If he hadn't felt that Yue Buqun had no murderous intent, Liancheng would have thought that Yue Buqun was jealous of his disciple's talent and was going to kill him.

Ning Zhongze, who was watching from the side, worried, "Shixiong, hold back a little, don't hurt Cheng'er!"

Linghu Chong also nodded in agreement, his heart filled with fear.

Because the Xuanming True Qi was too domineering, even though they were far away, he and Shijie still felt a chill down their spines. It was hard to imagine the terrible pressure his second brother faced when directly confronting the Xuanming True Qi.

If this Xuanming True Qi hit a person, wouldn't it freeze them into an ice sculpture?

Linghu Chong's thought was partly right and partly wrong.

The Xuanming True Qi could not directly create ice, it was simply that the internal energy was so cold that it could directly freeze the meridians, even freeze the blood, causing instant death, and the body became stiff.

Look at Zhang Wuji, the victim, it was a real torment.

If Zhang Sanfeng hadn't used his internal energy to keep him alive, he would have become a cold corpse within a day.

Bai Sun Lao Ren and the Xuanming Two Elders used this domineering, chilling True Qi to sweep across the martial arts world, there were only a handful of people in the world who could defeat them.

Yue Buqun, who had only been practicing for half a year, was already able to reach the top-tier level.

If he practiced for ten or twenty years, the pinnacle realm would be within reach!

With good aptitude, he could even surpass the pinnacle and reach the legendary realm!

However, even the current Yue Buqun was not Liancheng's opponent. He didn't dare to take on the Xuanming True Qi, he could only rely on the Tai Xuan Body Art to constantly dodge.

Fortunately, it was the Tai Xuan Body Art, if it was only the Lingbo Weibu, it would be impossible to dodge.

Of course, Liancheng was not completely defenseless, he dodged while releasing waves of sharp sword energy.

Yue Buqun initially tried to block the sword energy, but found that the sword energy was condensed and violent, lasting for several breaths before dissipating, it took a lot of time and effort to dispel the sword energy.

So, he dodged whenever he could, not wanting to be bothered by the sword energy.

Then, the Tai Xuan Sword Energy raged across the Thinking Over Cliff, giant rocks were easily cut open like tofu, making the two onlookers' scalps tingle.

"Second Brother's strength is a bit scary." Linghu Chong couldn't help but gulp.

"This is a good thing. The stronger Cheng'er is, the more beneficial it will be for Huashan!" Shijie was also scared, but she was even happier.

Yue Buqun was a bit distressed now.

Because he discovered that he couldn't defeat Liancheng even with two-tenths of his strength. Obviously, Liancheng had reached the peak of the first-rate level, and he was probably just one step away from entering the top-tier level.

If Liancheng really reached the top-tier level one day, he might not be able to suppress him anymore.

Sigh, his disciples were too talented, it was a real headache!

Zuo Lengchan, can you understand this kind of headache?

Yue Buqun felt that he had grasped the full extent of his second disciple's strength, he was about to end the battle in one go when he discovered that his second disciple suddenly waved his hand, and another sword fell into his left hand.

Oh? He's going to use dual swords?

It's no wonder Yue Buqun didn't know, Liancheng had learned the Left and Right Mutual Stance Technique while Yue Buqun was in seclusion.

Although his wife, Ning Zhongze, would occasionally report important matters, in order to avoid distracting him, she hadn't mentioned Liancheng and Linghu Chong's training progress.

Now, Yue Buqun was experiencing the awesomeness of the Left and Right Mutual Stance Technique for the first time.

Liancheng's left hand practiced the Tai Xuan Sword Technique, his right hand also practiced the Tai Xuan Sword Technique, the two swords cooperated seamlessly, forming an airtight light shield that enveloped Yue Buqun.

Yue Buqun furrowed his brows, he could sense the danger of the dual swords combined.

But he still wanted to test its power.

So he simply used his newly created move, Tai Yue Three Green Peaks. The Qingfeng Sword pierced through the light shield of the dual swords, but was bounced away by a huge force, the dual swords continued to stab towards his chest.

This result shocked Yue Buqun, he quickly retreated using the Lingbo Weibu.

He was forced to retreat!
