Chapter 243: The Swordless One Shows His Prowess Again
The attitude of the Demon Sect disciples not only scared the challengers, but also scared the Demon Sect players.
Especially among the challengers, some are just talking nonsense...
Lu Xun sat on the high platform, his eyes swept through the angry outer disciples, and then locked onto Ji Li.
Ji Li looked very angry, her chest was heaving with anger, one wave after another.
If they were outside the sect, she might have just drawn her sword and taught them a lesson.
People like you are worthy of being compared with my future husband?
After being angry for a while, she raised her head and glanced at the platform, only to see Lu Xun chatting and laughing with Mao Nanbei with a smile on his face, looking like he was not affected at all.
The difference is obvious.
In fact, it was Mao Nanbei who said that she won the bet, and Lu Xun smiled and agreed to make dessert for her.
This may be the price of petting cat girls.
On the challenge stage, the new practitioner who had just threatened to challenge Lu Xun couldn't help but shrink his neck, a little scared by the big scene.
Only a man with deep forehead wrinkles and rough skin did not retreat. Instead, he took a step forward towards the people of the Demon Sect and slowly raised the sword in his hand.
His sword was a bronze sword and had no tip.
It seems that it is not the tip of the sword that is broken, but that there was no tip of the sword when it was cast.
Therefore, it looks a little special.
The man placed the bronze sword horizontally in front of him, then lifted it up with both hands, and his whole body continued to bend downward to nearly ninety degrees.
When this action was made, Lu Xun did not understand it, but Shen Yan and other great practitioners present were slightly moved.
Shen Yan sent a voice message to Lu Xun: "Uncle Master, this is the highest etiquette among sword cultivators in ancient times. He is asking for your guidance. If you are willing to learn from him, you will be considered his half-master."
"Of course, Junior Uncle-Master, this is one-sided. You don't need to fulfill any duties as a master to him."
"I didn't expect that there are still young sword cultivators who understand the etiquette of the ancient times." Shen Yan sighed: "I don't know where he came from."
Lu Xun became interested after hearing this.
The man still held the bronze sword in both hands and said in a deep voice: "Jianchi Wu Hou, please teach me, Senior Lu!"
As soon as these words were spoken, there was a slight commotion on the podium.
Many great practitioners began to communicate with people nearby.
"Sword Pond?" Lu Xun was also stunned for a moment.
He vaguely remembered that this was a holy place for sword practitioners in ancient times, but it gradually declined.
Later, some players obtained the secret books left by Jian Chi in the secret realm.
According to legend, the founder of the Sword Sect also had a close relationship with the Sword Pool.
The great practitioners who came to the platform to watch the ceremony were shocked because they did not expect that Jian Chi actually had a successor.
Hasn't this sect disappeared in the long river of history?
It must be fake, right?
The most shocked were the visitors from Yijian Mountain and Wanjian Mountain.
Jianchi was once a holy place for sword practitioners, while Yijian Mountain and Wanjian Mountain are the current holy places for sword practitioners, a bit like the old king and the new king.
The elders of Yijian Mountain and Wanjian Mountain used their spiritual sense to investigate this man named Wu Hou, who claimed to be the successor of Jianchi, and discovered that this was his fifth year of cultivation, and his cultivation had only just entered the initial stage.
In their eyes, this qualification is already very poor.
Successor of Jianchi?
Even if he is the real descendant of Jian Chi, so what?
——That’s all.
Lu Xun did not reply for the time being, so Wu Hou continued to do this.
Shen Yan told him through voice transmission that according to the rules of ancient times, if the person performing the ceremony did not receive an accurate reply, he would have to continue like this.
At that time, some sword masters used this to observe whether these sword practitioners were sincere.
If I feel that his heart is sincere, I will teach him.
The disciples of Jianchi pay the most attention to sharpening their sword heart.
I feel like they are a bit like ascetic monks among sword practitioners.
Lu Xun sat there, looking down, and asked, "Are there any other sword cultivators who want to challenge?"
As soon as these words were spoken, the challengers below looked at each other, but no one responded immediately.
They were all frightened by the actions of the Demon Sect's outer disciples just now.
After a long while, someone finally spoke haltingly, and even the lines were changed.
"Junior...Junior would also like to ask Senior Lu for some advice!"
Lu Xun nodded slightly and continued to ask loudly: "Anything else?"
The sound spread throughout the venue with the blessing of spiritual power.
One after another, several more sword cultivators spoke up.
It’s no wonder that the proportion of sword cultivators at the scene is quite high, at least half of them are sword cultivators.
As more and more people responded, those who were a little timid finally gained the courage.
There were actually quite a few sword cultivators present who wanted to challenge Lu Xun. Including Jian Chi Wu Hou, there were a total of seventeen of them.
And Jian Chi Wu Hou was still standing in the center of the arena, holding his sword and bending over.
Lu Xun had actually thought about it a long time ago. If conditions permitted, he would go out to win face for the Demon Sect.
With so many people watching the ceremony, and players broadcasting live on the forum, it is no exaggeration to say that today's Demon Sect Outer Sect Competition is attracting everyone's attention.
Therefore, if he performs well, it will not just be a simple matter of increasing the sect's reputation.
He guessed that Shen Yan was so active in sending him messages just now, definitely not just to explain to him.
This damn bald guy also wants to rely on him to gain attention for the Demon Sect!
Just like the principal and teachers often say "bring honor to the school", they all hope that Lu Xun can bring honor to the clan.
Look, now he’s smiling so hard that he can’t stop!
Oh, bald head!
But fortunately, Lu Xun didn't mind taking action. By the way, he also set a good example for the outer disciples and boosted their morale so that they could perform well later.
Lu Xun smiled, slowly stood up, and then floated down to the arena where Wu Hou was.
Jianchi Wuhou still maintained that posture, motionless.
Lu Xun walked up to him, keeping a certain distance from him, and then said, "You can all draw your swords at me together. As long as any of your swords can penetrate three feet around me, I will accept the challenge."
As soon as these words were spoken, the whole audience was in an uproar.
To be honest, the challengers present are at best the heads of chickens. They can defeat the tails of phoenixes, but they are definitely no match for the heads of phoenixes.
What’s more, this Phoenix Head is a “natural sword fetus”!
To be honest, even with so many people attacking together, they were not sure of defeating Lu Xun.
But we can't win, but you said that the swords of so many of us can't get within three feet of you. That's two completely different concepts!
This is impossible and unrealistic!
Even if you were born with a sword, it wouldn't be this serious.
On the high platform, Xiao Ran, who was sitting next to Zhao Sui Han, couldn't help but brighten her eyes.
What Lu Xun said just now was very much to her liking.
She was also very curious about where Lu Xun's confidence came from.
She thought it was impossible for her to do this.
Could it be that... Lu Xun is just screening?
Eliminate a group of people who are not worth his effort, and keep those who can at least get within three feet of him?
Well, that should be the case.
"This is not bad. It would be cheap to accept challenges from random people." Xiao Ran said in his heart.
"This Uncle Lu is quite interesting."
She sat beside Zhao Sui Han with a dignified manner, looking like a lady from a noble family, but in fact, the flames of war had already been ignited in her heart.
I want to fight too.
It's so boring sitting here.
Both of my axes are thirsty!
It's just that she was here as a guest, there's no reason for her to leave.
On the stage, Lu Xun smiled slightly, looking gentle and elegant, without the slightest hint of sharpness.
He said, "We can start now."
All the sword practitioners were still in a daze, but Wu Hou of Jianchi had already drawn his sword first without any hesitation!
However, his sword seemed to be moving very slowly, almost as fast as an ordinary warrior, and he didn't look like a cultivator at all.
The bronze sword without a tip came towards Lu Xun, and his face with deep forehead wrinkles was full of seriousness.
The other sword cultivators drew their swords later than him, but approached Lu Xun earlier than him.
Some people approached with swords in hand, while others made sword gestures with their hands and performed the art of flying swords.
Seventeen swords, of various shapes and sizes, some long, some short, some wide, some narrow, stabbed towards Lu Xun who was standing in the center of the arena.
He held the scabbard in his hand, motionless.
As everyone knows, Lu Xun, a natural swordsman, has never used his sword against anyone so far.
Even Ye Suian did not force him to draw his sword.
The same is true now.
He just turned the scabbard with his fingers, then grasped it and put it behind him.
He just glanced at the seventeen swords without making any unnecessary movements.
Just a glance.
And in the next moment, these seventeen swords...
——They all stopped!
…
