Chapter 41: Gentleman Sword
"Mu Tuozi, have you abandoned Xixia and come to cling to the Qingcheng Sect? Or is there any cooperation project between Master Yu and Yipintang?"
When Chu Lu Ren saw Mu Gaofeng appear, he jumped onto the gate and questioned Yu Canghai and Mu Gaofeng below.
The term "cooperative project" is new, but understandable.
Of course, the Chu Lu people have also made preparations to turn around and run away immediately if they are faced with a “2vs1” situation!
However, although Yu Canghai is a person of low character, he still values face very much. Mu Tuozi was originally considered half-evil and had a negative reputation in the martial arts world, so he attacked a young man without hesitation. But Yu Canghai could not besiege Chu Lu Ren with Mu Tuozi in public.
Especially, there is no benefit in besieging the Chulu people...
Moreover, Ding Yi and Liu Zhengfeng were right beside them, so the most he could do was teach them a lesson.
"If you don't want to be a running dog of the Dali royal family, why do you come to Sanxiang to join in the fun?" Mu Tuozi wanted to classify Chu Luren into the category of "running dogs of the court" as soon as he opened his mouth.
"Mr. Duan and I are friends of gentlemen. As for coming here... naturally it is to attend Senior Liu's retirement ceremony." Chu Lu Ren said as he jumped down. After "floating" to the ground, he bowed in the direction of Liu Zhengfeng.
Liu Zhengfeng really said at the right time: "Since you are here, you are all my distinguished guests. There may have been misunderstandings before. Brother Mu, Brother Yu, can you give me some face?"
"The young man is talking nonsense. I don't want to bother with him!" Yu Canghai said as he flicked his sleeves.
Chu Lu Ren was naturally more modest: "Yes, Master Yu's 'Crane's Cry in the Nine Skies' Divine Art' is already quite advanced, and combined with the 'Pine Wind Sword Technique' of your school, it naturally has the power of pine and crane, and the moves are as fast as the wind... It's just that you are giving in to me."
Upon hearing this, Yu Canghai's face became serious and he looked at Chu Lu Ren coldly, but he did not draw his sword again!
modesty?
Yu Canghai didn't think he was humble at all. Instead, he felt that although this young man was young, he had a broad vision and... he was deliberately exposing his past as revenge!
Liu Zhengfeng, Ding Yi and others also vaguely understood something.
In fact, before, when the leaders of various sects gathered together, the leader of Huashan Sect, the Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun, exposed the fact that Yu Canghai had mastered the "Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies Divine Art".
However, Chu Lu Ren, who had just fought with Yu Canghai, knew best. He was not sure to what extent Yu Canghai's "Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies Divine Art" had been practiced, but Chu Lu Ren felt that there was "something wrong" with Yu Canghai's previous swordsmanship.
The "Pine Wind Sword Technique" is Qingcheng's unique martial art and is also a very difficult sword technique to master, because it requires the integration of the two sword forces of "pine" and "wind" to achieve perfection.
Of course, just forming the "sword momentum" is actually something that most swordsmen cannot do. Whether it was the previous fight with Tian Boguang or Yu Canghai, their knife and sword moves, in Chu Lu Ren's view, all had traces to follow!
Although there are faint shapes of wind, sand, pine and crane, they are still within the scope of using "moves" and have not reached the level of the Chulu people in "peacock spreading its tail".
However, their sword and knife techniques are all practical in nature . They are not linear, but have various network and circular structures, which means that they can change moves according to the opponent's reaction!
In comparison, the "Nine Peacock Moves" have poor practicality and few variations. Because it was created by Shui Dai for his daughter and disciples as a prelude to learning Tai Chi sword, the changes in moves are secondary.
Moreover , among the Nine Peacock Styles, there is only the very simple sword move "Peacock Spreading its Tail" - otherwise, even if Chu Lu Ren had an epiphany, he would not be able to master the sword move in less than half an hour.
For most of the "experts" in the martial arts world, whether one's swordsmanship is high enough depends on whether one is proficient in swordsmanship and whether one can adapt to changing circumstances...
As for comprehending the sword moves, it is a great feat even for masters, and it is even more difficult than mastering the internal skills.
Chu Luren's "Peacock Spreading its Tail" is very weak in terms of sword moves. After all, it is just a branch of Tai Chi... However, it is precisely because he has comprehended "Peacock Spreading its Tail" that he is able to fight against Yu Canghai and others by using the weak against the strong.
Therefore, Chu Lu Ren was also very perceptive and saw that the reason why Yu Canghai was so successful now was because he specialized in the "fast as wind" part of Songfeng swordsmanship, while the "strong as pine" part was cleverly handed over to the "Crane's Lie in the Nine Skies Divine Art"!
When practicing his skills, he naturally used "crane power" instead of "pine power" in his moves - Chu Lu Ren had specifically mentioned the "pine and crane power" before, and it was because these two "powers" were very similar that Yu Canghai was able to take advantage of it.
Others may not be able to see it, but Chu Luren himself has understood the sword's momentum... Even if it is just the details of the momentum, Chu Luren has a keen eye in this area.
Similarly, Tian Boguang's swordsmanship is based on the Kuangfeng swordsmanship which belongs to the "art", which greatly increases his sword-drawing speed, and then he uses the "Thirteen Styles of Flying Sand and Rolling Stones" to attack the enemy.
In comparison, Chu Lu Ren's "Di Quexing Gongfa" is very low-end, and he just barely uses finger power in swordsmanship, just like the Soul-Chasing Staff, which only allows the "staff" to emit finger power.
It's just that the "momentum" of both of them has not been formed yet, and they are still within the scope of using moves, so they were blocked by Chu Lu Ren.
"Little brother, you have good eyesight, but my brother's move is indeed exquisite."
At this moment, a middle-aged man with a square face and a moustache, who had round eyes and was obviously a master of internal martial arts, walked over.
There was also a beautiful woman with a heroic look accompanying them, and behind her were three or five male and female disciples. Among them was a girl of about eighteen or nineteen years old, who seemed to be very close to the couple.
"Hehe, Brother Yue, what kind of Cai Bu Kung have you practiced? Now that I am your disciple, can I learn it?" Mu Gaofeng seemed to be at odds with this man and started to mock him as soon as he opened his mouth.
Chu Lu Ren naturally heard that this person should be the famous Gentleman Sword Yue Buqun!
She does look to be about 40 years old, but the whole thing about the art of sexual intercourse is pure nonsense.
Yue Buqun didn't seem to be very annoyed: "Brother Mu, you want to make fun of me as soon as we meet."
"You are almost sixty now, right? But you look like the hunchback's grandson..."
After Mu Tuozi said this, Yue Buqun remained calm. However, Yue Lingshan and other Huashan disciples on the side were very angry, but Yue Buqun raised his hand to stop them.
"But speaking of my grandson..." Mu Gaofeng suddenly looked back evilly in the direction of the voice that had reminded Chu Luren before.
I saw a little hunchback leaning on the railing on the second floor, looking at Chu Lu Ren and Yue Buqun who had just arrived with admiration. When he saw Mu Gaofeng turned his head to look at him, he remembered to run away.
It’s only the second floor, and the hunchback looks disabled, but at this height, he can be defeated by just stomping his feet. Judging from the little hunchback’s footwork... it’s just at the level of an ordinary strong man, how can he dodge it?
However, Chu Lu Ren's reaction was not slow either. He knew that this person was the one who had reminded him before. Although he was farther away at this time, he also used Kunyou Xukong, stepped forward quickly, and pointed at the point of force behind Mu Gaofeng!
Of course, Chu Lu Ren also remembered the lesson Yi Deng had learned. Although he pointed his finger at the camel's back, he was far away from it. Even if the poisonous gas in the camel came out, he would not be contaminated.
Moreover, Mu Gaofeng is an old hand after all. When he heard the unusual movement behind him, he pretended not to react at first, then he wanted to take ruthless action.
However, Chu Lu Ren's direct long-range attack was unbearable for Mu Gaofeng, so he turned around and used his empty palm to break Chu Lu Ren's finger strength. Then he drew out his camel sword and confronted Chu Lu Ren on the outer corridor on the second floor.
At this time, Yue Lingshan seemed to recognize the "little hunchback" and whispered something to Yue Buqun...
