One punch calms the storm, no gods in the world

Chapter 61 Silver Ring Gate (4800 words)
The confrontation between the two attracted the attention of all the warriors attending the banquet in the hall. They all stood up and looked at the two warily and solemnly.

At this time, after hearing Long Yuanzheng's story in the afternoon, Su Ti no longer had a superficial understanding of the major ancient martial arts sects, and he was also very clear about the past grievances of Longmen.

The person in front of him was Qin Huan, the deputy leader of the Yinhuan Sect.

He was the one who first poisoned and then assassinated Long Yuanzheng's junior fellow apprentice Long Yuanwang when the Nansheng Sect collapsed ten years ago.

After assassinating Long Yuanwang, Qin Huan framed the crime on Xingluo Sect before the split of Nansheng Sect, deliberately instigating internal strife between the two factions. His methods and behavior were extremely dirty.

After Su Ti noticed this person's appearance, the expressions of the representatives from Xingluomen who attended the banquet also became very ugly.

It would have been better if Qin Huan hadn't said this, but once he said it, it was simply adding fuel to the fire, challenging Long Yuanzheng's limits like crazy.

"You are not worthy to mention the three words Nan Sheng Men in front of me!"

Qin Huan smiled and said.

"Whether we are worthy or not, we should always look forward. The Nansheng Sect has been disintegrated for ten years. During these ten years, a new ancient martial arts sect, the Xuesha Sect, has emerged in Nanjiang Province. There are many extraordinary warriors in the Xuesha Sect, and it has the potential to sweep across the entire Nanjiang Province. If we don't want to be swallowed up by it, we can only unite again to compete with it."

"Master Long, and all the old friends from the Southern Saint Sect." Qin Huan bowed to everyone.

"I know that today is the banquet for the Dragon Sect Master to accept disciples. I came here uninvited just to inform everyone about the alliance. This matter is led by our Silver Ring Sect. Please go back and tell your respective leaders that five days later, we, the former members of the Southern Saint Sect, will discuss the great cause of the alliance at the Tianyang Building in Mingyang City."

Seeing everyone's eyes full of strong suspicion, Qin Huan also knew that the past actions of the Silver Ring Sect had caused distrust among many sects of the Southern Saint Sect, and it was fortunate that they were not attacked by everyone. This time they suddenly took the lead and said they wanted to form an alliance, they would definitely not believe it, and they might not even come if they were notified, so he said again.

"I know that everyone has had many misunderstandings about our Yinhuan Sect in the past, but this time we sincerely want to lead the alliance, and most importantly, our elder Liu has successfully mastered our sect's supreme martial art, the Silver Dragon Sword Art, a month ago. Now we have three extraordinary masters in our sect. With such strength, you should be able to feel the sincerity of our alliance."

When Qin Huan spoke the second half, his tone was no longer gentle and kind, but contained a hint of threat.

The representatives of several other old factions of the Southern Saint Sect felt a chill in their hearts. If they were to say which sect had best preserved its strength after the split, it would be the Silver Ring Sect.

Not only were the two extraordinary masters in the sect, Sect Master Chang Wuji and Deputy Sect Master Qin Huan, unharmed, but even the disciples and elders under the sect suffered few casualties.

Unlike other sects, either their own extraordinary masters were killed in battle, or their core disciples died in conflicts causing a generational gap, or their own extraordinary masters suffered irreparable injuries, and their disciples and elders suffered heavy casualties, etc., all of which were seriously injured.

Otherwise, if their own sect had not been so badly damaged, why would they not seek revenge on their enemy, the Yinhuan Sect, ten years after its disintegration?
Of course, there were too many internal conflicts and fighting back then, which led to hatred between the various factions. The fact that the hatred was not entirely directed at the Yinhuanmen was also part of the reason.

In addition, they were also wary of the intact strength of the Yinhuan Sect. So even though the various sects secretly hated the Yinhuan Sect, they mainly focused on recuperating during the past ten years.

For a disciple-recruiting banquet like the one held by Long Yuanzheng, being able to invite representatives from four Southern Saint Sects to attend the banquet also showed that he had a good relationship with Long Yuanzheng.

After all, Longmen had lost its strongest figure, Long Yuansheng, and had also been murdered by the extraordinary master Long Yuanwang, which meant that two extraordinary masters had been killed. In addition, almost all the elders and disciples had died, leading to a complete generational break. None of the major sects had suffered as heavy a loss as Longmen, and even if there was hatred caused by the civil war between them and Longmen, it had disappeared.

Under such circumstances where the old faction of the Southern Saint Sect is not doing well and has not yet recovered from the civil war ten years ago, the Silver Ring Sect is getting stronger and stronger, and even a third extraordinary master was born in the sect. No wonder they are so confident and dare to take the lead in forming an alliance with such a bad reputation.

"Qin Huan, can I understand that you are threatening me?"

Long Yuanzheng's voice was calm, but everyone could feel that his murderous intent was growing stronger.

"This is not a threat."

The young man with sharp eyebrows and bright eyes who came with Qin Huan stood up at this time and said with a slight smile.

"As for the alliance, if we separate, both sides will suffer, but if we unite, both sides will benefit. This is the general trend. Master Longmen has been in the martial arts world for so many years, you can't be unable to understand this, right?"

Hearing the young man's sarcastic words, Long Yuanzheng shifted his cold gaze and the man smiled.

"I am Li Jianxing, the chief disciple of the Silver Ring Sect, and I have reached the eighth level of inner training."

Upon hearing about the eighth level of internal training, everyone present was shocked.

Because Long Yuansheng, who swept across the entire Nanjiang Province and founded the Nansheng Sect, was only at the extraordinary level of breaking through the eighth level of internal training.

If this person breaks through the extraordinary realm, wouldn’t he be the next Long Yuan Sheng?

Su Ti's eyes also became strange when he looked at Li Jianxing. In his perception, this person's aura was the same as that of ordinary people. There was no difference. Not to mention the eighth level of internal training, he didn't even have the first level.

But he immediately thought of some of the things Long Yuanzheng had said to him in the afternoon.

"The fighting style of the Silver Ring Sect is called the Silver Snake Sword. It is an assassination sword technique that originated from the Qian Dynasty. They are good at disguising themselves, concealing their breath, and hiding their swords. You cannot see through their skills before they make a move."

The Qian Dynasty was the era after the Wu Dynasty, also known as the Jian Dynasty. It was also the first dynasty after the Wu Dynasty was overthrown and ancient Wu began to decline.

However, since there were no firearms at that time, although ancient martial arts declined, many fighting methods emerged, and swordsmanship was the most popular one.

In that dynasty, from the emperor to the common people, everyone knew how to use a sword. Swordsmanship covered many aspects such as etiquette, self-defense, fitness, war, culture, etc. Various kendo masters and amazing swordsmanship flourished in the Qian Dynasty, so the Qian Dynasty was also named the "Sword Dynasty".

The cursed antique sword dancer jade carving that Su Ti had obtained before was also one of the products that demonstrated the prosperous sword culture of the Qian Dynasty.

The opponent's swordsmanship originated from the Qian Dynasty and possessed the unique ability to hide his own aura. Su Ti understood this in his heart. At this time, Li Jianxing suddenly turned his gaze and looked at Su Ti.

"I joined the sect relatively late, and have always heard from the elders in the sect how powerful Longmen martial arts are, but I have never seen them in person. Today, the Longmen master is happy to accept a beloved disciple, and I heard that your disciple is also at the Hunyuan realm. How about we exchange ideas and exchange ideas?"

Li Jianxing smiled faintly. He was a genius. After only ten years of training, he broke through to the eighth level of inner training. Not only did he have an excellent physique, he also had a very high talent for swordsmanship. Two years ago, he had already mastered the Silver Snake Sword and entered the realm of perfect perfection. He had never met an opponent in his life and was chosen by the sect master Chang Wuji to be the next leader.

He also strongly supports the Yinhuan Sect taking the lead in forming an alliance with many old factions of the Nansheng Sect. The Yinhuan Sect is now powerful, but due to its bad reputation, it may not be able to reorganize the Nansheng Sect, but it can form an alliance in the name of reorganization, plus the pressure from the Xuesha Sect, which is a sure thing.

With the strength of the Silver Ring Sect, he will definitely occupy the position of leader once the alliance is formed, and as the next leader, he will be the second leader.

After he breaks through the extraordinary realm, he can use his martial arts and the power of the Southern Saint Alliance to defeat the Blood Demon Sect and emulate Long Yuansheng to unify the entire Nanjiang Province.

Therefore, he was determined to promote this alliance and subdue all these remnants of the old faction.

And Suti was his breakthrough.

"Oh, you want to fight me?"

Su Ti also stood up at this time, with a dangerous light in his eyes.

He finally learned about the grudge between Longmen and Yinhuanmen. He originally wanted to leave it to Long Yuanzheng to decide what to do with this incident, but he didn't expect that it would involve him. Naturally, he couldn't let Longmen down.

"Seventh level of internal training, what a strong aura. Master Long, your disciple is truly a rare talent. And my sect's sword star is also a genius. How about a bet between the two of us?"

Qin Huan laughed and said, "It is a sect in ancient martial arts where the strong prey on the weak. This time, the Yinhuan Sect has formed an alliance and is trying to win over the old members of the Nansheng Sect. How can they not show their strength?"
Longmen, which has become so weak that it has reached the bottom of the valley, is just suitable to be a stepping stone. This is also the reason why they came today!

"If I faction Sword Star wins, you will put aside your grudges and do your best to promote the Southern Saint Alliance."

"If your disciple wins, whether Longmen stays or leaves, we at Yinhuanmen will never force it."

Hearing Qin Huan's words, Long Yuanzheng only responded with two words, "Hehe".

"Qin Huan, I've heard you fart enough today. I'm getting impatient."

Long Yuanzheng, a veteran of the martial arts world, saw through the Yinhuan Sect's plan in an instant. He was extremely angry about the fact that the Yinhuan Sect had a third extraordinary person and wanted to use the Blood Evil Sect as an external force to regain the old members of the Southern Saint Sect. In addition, using his apprentice as a stepping stone to step on the Longmen Sect to rise to power had completely crossed Long Yuanzheng's bottom line, so he could no longer suppress his anger and took action directly.

I saw wisps of white gas rushing towards Long Yuanzheng's nostrils like rivers flowing into the sea. Amidst the crackling sounds, Long Yuanzheng's martial arts uniform was torn apart with a sizzling sound, revealing his broad back and extremely developed muscles.

In just a moment, Long Yuanzheng's body expanded and turned into a little giant who was two meters and sixty centimeters tall. His pupils also completely turned into light gold.

A huge hand, all black and with bulging veins, stretched out and covered Qin Huan's head directly.

"If you have anything else to say, save it for hell!"

boom!
Watching the airflow being blasted by the giant palm, Qin Huan's face changed as he watched the big hand like a washbasin cover him. He didn't expect that Long Yuanzheng would start fighting as soon as he said so. He retreated in panic, directly knocked open the door and retreated to the yard.

The giant transformed by Long Yuanzheng also violently smashed the door and chased after Qin Huan!

Seeing his master taking action, Su Ti didn't waste any words. He rushed to Li Jianxing and punched him!
His muscles and bones exploded, his right arm grew to the thickness of a thigh, and his fist expanded like a giant's arm, bursting the air flow and blasting towards Li Jianxing's head and face!
Li Jianxing was not an easy person to deal with either. Facing such a violent punch from Su Ti, he just narrowed his eyes, curled the corners of his mouth, tapped the ground with his toes, and quickly retreated.

While retreating quickly, a soft sword hidden in the sleeve stretched out from the sleeve like a spring. The bright sword light flashed by, and the tip of the sword avoided the peak of the fist and directly hit Su Ti's tendon in a curved arc!

The sword light was sharp, and there was a strange purple flash on the blade.

The moment Li Jianxing made his move, Su Ti instantly heard a rumbling heartbeat from him, and the aura of the eighth level of internal training burst out!

With his high intelligence, Suti was able to quickly judge the strengths and weaknesses of both sides.

"The Yinhuan Sect's internal training method is good at speed. He has reached the eighth level of internal training, and his speed is not slower than mine!"

"Not only that, because the Silver Ring Sect practices assassination swordsmanship, their soft swords are all coated with poison, and their defenses must not be broken!"

As soon as he thought of this, Su Ti instantly withdrew his hand and avoided Li Jianxing's sword.

But when he dodged, Li Jianxing, who had a moment of respite, did not retreat but advanced, and rushed towards him with a soft sword in hand. The snow-white sword light flashed and pierced straight into his throat.

Su Ti retreated violently, the tiles under his feet bursting as he retreated backwards with a bang.

As he stepped back, other people in the hall hurriedly moved out of the way, fearing that they would be implicated. After all, they were only invited to the banquet, and there would be no way for them to complain if they were affected.

Li Jianxing was quite surprised by Su Ti's retreat. He did not expect that the opponent's speed of internal training at the seventh level was not slower than his own. He also realized this.

"He is definitely not practicing the Golden Snake Shedding. The Golden Snake Shedding does not have this kind of speed!"

This discovery not only did not make Li Jianxing alert, but made him even more excited!

He had never met an opponent since he started practicing martial arts, and this was the first time he met someone whose speed was not inferior to his. He immediately exerted all his strength, and the soft sword in his hand stabbed towards Su Ti like a rainstorm.

Although the hall was spacious, the space was limited after all. If they retreated blindly, they would soon be forced into a dead end. But before Su Ti retreated, his high intelligence had already memorized everything in the hall in his mind. Now, using the images in his memory, he picked up tables, chairs and benches without looking back and threw them directly at Li Jianxing.

The furniture that Long Yuanzheng bought were all solid wood furniture, which were extremely heavy. An ordinary chair weighed dozens of kilograms. With Su Ti's strength, if he smashed someone, even a cow would be smashed to pieces, with broken bones and tendons, vomiting blood and serious injuries.

Li Jianxing didn't even look at it. He shook the soft sword in his hand, and the force penetrated through the sword from top to bottom. The soft sword was instantly stretched straight by the force, and was three times harder than a hundred-forged steel sword.

Then he grabbed the sword with one hand and slashed repeatedly, forming streaks of silver light in front of him. The solid wooden furniture was chopped into several pieces and flew backwards before they fell one meter in front of him, and even the metal parts were split open!

"What a sharp sword, what great swordsmanship!"

Everyone present was shocked.

After seeing Li Jianxing's move, Su Ti felt that it was a wise decision for him not to rely on his Bronze Skin Skill to defend against the sword in the opponent's hand.

Li Jianxing's swordsmanship of the eighth level of Hunyuan period is strong enough to cut through steel. It is not something that can be fully defended by just the copper skin skill. Even without applying poison, he can cut through Su Ti's flesh and sever his tendons.

Faced with the sharp sword in the opponent's hand, Su Ti could only retreat, dodge and avoid the sharp edge. For a while, Li Jianxing had the upper hand!

All the people watching on the scene were warriors, including some Hunyuan realm warriors from the old school of Nanshengmen, who could tell the situation at a glance.

"Then Longmen Suti might lose."

"That's right. The lethality of weapons is inherently higher than that of the flesh. Moreover, Su Ti's internal training is one level lower than Li Jianxing's. And they are in a confined space like a room. Sooner or later, it's inevitable. Losing is just a matter of time."

One of the representatives of the old faction of Nanshengmen looked around and whispered.

"We have an old grudge against the Silver Ring Sect. Are we just going to watch the Dragon Sect fail without helping?"

Someone said immediately.

"Why should I help? This is a conflict between Longmen and Yinhuanmen. It has nothing to do with us."

"That's right. The Silver Ring Sect is very powerful now. If we help the Dragon Sect, it will offend the Silver Ring Sect."

The eyes of the other old sect representatives flickered. They were just representatives who came to the banquet, and within the sect they were only direct disciples, deacons, and elders. If they took the initiative to fight with other sects without the orders of the sect master and deputy sect master, they would be causing trouble for their own sect.

It would be fine if they were just some small sects, but the Yinhuan Sect now has three extraordinary warriors, and they dare not offend them easily even if they have old grudges.

In the room, Su Ti kept dodging the sword in Li Jianxing's hand, avoiding his sharp edge and not daring to take the attack head-on.

Li Jianxing also noticed this and kept using the soft sword in his hand to block Su Ti's movement, compressing his dodging space.

If this goes on, Su Ti will have nowhere to escape in less than ten seconds. As long as he is stabbed by the sword, given the fierce poison on the Yinhuan Sect's sword, Su Ti will definitely be defeated!

While dodging, Su Ti was actually thinking very quickly in his mind. To deal with this kind of swordsmanship, unless he also uses weapons, he would not be able to fight with his bare hands!
Because weapon-based ancient martial arts are generally much stronger than bare-handed ancient martial arts. The current situation is the best explanation. Su Ti's kung fu was forced to not be able to use even half of his skills because of the opponent's sword.

But, although the situation seemed to be in a desperate situation at this time and Suti's defeat was only a matter of time, he actually still had a way.

That is to improve the strength of one's external power to a level where one can take on the opponent's weapon with bare hands.

After a few days of accumulation, although the energy provided by the red energy beads daily has been reduced to 80%, it still accumulates 420% of energy for him.

It is definitely not enough to improve the level of internal training, but it is more than enough to upgrade an external skill.

At this time, Suti has a total of three entry-level external skills, namely Iron Bone Skill, Steel Bar Skill and Hard and Soft Shaka Skill, which can be improved.

Li Jianxing's sword is sharp and coated with poison. The Iron Bone Skill is useless in defending against this kind of attack. Even if the bones are saved, the flesh will be cut and the poison will enter the body. Therefore, only the Steel Bar Skill and the Hard and Soft Saka Skill are available.

Among them, the Steel Bar Skill provides the defensive power of flesh, which is said to be able to block bullets, but it will still cause injuries, so Suti only has one choice.

Hard and soft Shaka practice.

As Suti's gaze focused, his energy value began to plummet, from 420% to 20% in an instant.

His proficiency in the hard and soft Shaka Kung began to soar from entry level to minor level, then to intermediate level, and finally.
Dacheng!
