Chapter 557 The Holy Spirit Sword Technique that Transcends Cause and Effect!
"This Miss Zhao Ling'er is the descendant of this generation's Nuwa, and also my wife." Murong Fu pointed at Zhao Ling'er and introduced her to the Sword Saint, "In terms of seniority, she is Xu Changqing's granddaughter. In terms of status, she is the princess of Dali. She is not a monster, but the incarnation of Nuwa's spirit in the world. All humans should respect and love her, Sword Saint, especially you, you must see clearly."
The reason why Murong Fu said this was because in the original novel, Elder Shi of the Black Miao clan and Gai Luojiao of the White Miao clan had a fight over Zhao Linger. The battle was fierce and both sides suffered heavy casualties.
The Sword Saint, an old man with no foresight, passed by here and found that Zhao Linger had burst out with Nuwa's spiritual power to save people. He did not recognize Nuwa's spiritual power and thought it was evil spirit, and believed that these people were killed by Zhao Linger.
So, without conducting a detailed investigation or listening to Zhao Linger's argument, the Sword Saint captured Zhao Linger and brought her back to Shushan, and imprisoned her in the Demon Locking Tower.
Later, in order to save Zhao Linger, Li Xiaoyao and Lin Yueru bravely broke into the Demon Locking Tower, destroyed the foundation of the Demon Locking Tower, killed the Prison King, causing the Demon Locking Tower to collapse. Countless monsters escaped from the Demon Locking Tower, causing considerable disasters in the world.
Lin Yueru was also crushed to death by the huge rocks that collapsed from the Demon Locking Tower.
It was not until later that the Sword Master consulted the classics and discovered that he might have misunderstood Zhao Linger. He sent Zhao Linger back to the Miaojiang Saint to heal her wounds. Only then did he realize that Zhao Linger was the child of the baby girl that the Saint had taken care of that year. He had wrongly imprisoned the daughter of an old friend and caused the collapse of the Demon Locking Tower.
This caused the Sword Master to feel somewhat guilty towards Li Xiaoyao, so he did not pursue the crime of destroying the Demon Locking Tower. Later, he passed the position of the head of Shushan to Li Xiaoyao.
The reason for all this is that this sword master has a fiery temper, is unwilling to investigate the truth, and is stubborn in his own opinion.
That's why Murong Fu wanted to explain to him Zhao Linger's life story, and the greatness of Nuwa and Nuwa's descendants, so that he wouldn't be so blind and do anything weird again.
"So, you are indeed an old friend." The Sword Master's expression softened a lot, no longer as aggressive as it was at the beginning.
The Drunken Swordsman was a smart man. He saw that Murong Fu seemed to understand the Sword Saint's character very well, so he prescribed the right remedy and used the righteous deeds of the Nuwa clan to move the Sword Saint and change his mentality.
However, it was also the first time that Jiu Jianxian heard about the glorious deeds of Nuwa and her descendants. He could not help but sigh, "Each of us owes Nuwa a favor! No wonder a master like the Lord of Lingyue Palace wants to protect Miss Ling'er."
Murong Fu said: "You two, do you know that the world today has reached a critical moment of survival?"
The Drunken Swordsman asked, "Could it be related to this group of Black Miao?"
Murong Fu said, "Back then, my mother-in-law Lin Qing'er sacrificed herself to seal the water monster, but she failed to deal with the Moon Worship Sect leader. In recent years, the Moon Worship Sect has assassinated the Witch King, supported puppets, and monopolized government affairs. Its power is even greater than before. He has unsealed the water monster and is ambitious. He knows that the descendants of Nuwa are a threat to him, so he sent people to Xianling Island to kidnap my wife Zhao Ling'er. If he succeeds, there will be no power in the world to check him, and he can do whatever he wants."
"You Shushan people take slaying demons and eliminating evil as your mission, but you have neglected Miaojiang. Once the Moon Worshiper uses the water monsters to dominate the human world, the moment the water monsters move, the human world will be flooded and the people will suffer!"
The Sword Saint and the Drunken Sword Immortal both looked solemn. After looking at each other, the Sword Saint said, "We did overlook Miaojiang. You seem to be confident. Do you have any plans?"
Murong Fu said: "My wife is the princess of Dali. I plan to unite Dali to resist the Bai Miao tribe of the Moon Worshiper, launch a coup, end the rule of the Moon Worshiper, and completely kill the water monster! Moreover, I want to rewrite the fate of Nuwa's descendants! We can't let Nuwa's descendants sacrifice for us again! We humans are Nuwa's children, but when the children grow up, can they still rely on their mother's protection? When the children grow up, they have to protect their mothers in return!"
"Anyway, I have decided to let my wife become the Queen of Dali, eliminate the Moon Worshiper, and save the people. Will you from Shushan Sect do such a loyal and courageous thing? If not, I will find other people, such as a certain martial arts leader Lin Tiannan, and Lin Tiannan's old rival Shen Qingfeng. I don't believe that there are no true heroes in this world. I believe that there are people who are afraid of death, but there is also no shortage of warriors who are ready to die."
Jiu Jianxian was speechless, thinking, "Since you said so, can our Shushan Sect still refuse? If we refuse, won't the Shushan Sect become a cursed group in the world and become a group of people who are afraid of death and greedy for life?"
The Sword Saint looked calm and said, "You don't have to provoke me. Since we in Shushan know about this, we will not let it go. We in Shushan will help. My junior brother and I will go to Miaojiang in person to encircle and suppress the Moon Worshiping Sect Leader."
Murong Fu applauded and said, "Well done, you are worthy of being called the Sword Saint. You really did not disappoint me."
The Sword Saint said: "But now, we should talk about other issues, such as your knowledge of our Shushan swordsmanship."
Murong Fu said: "It's boring to talk about this, why don't we have a fight."
The Sword Master asked, "You want to fight me?"
Murong Fu said proudly: "It can only be regarded as a competition, and we are not comparing strength. Your strength is definitely not as good as mine. I have become an immortal. Even if your Shushan's ancestor Taiqing Zhenren came to the world, he would not be half as strong as me."
"Arrogant!" the Sword Master snorted coldly.
"We're just competing in sword moves, and there's no need to use weapons, so let's just use willow branches!" Murong Fu said.
The Sword Master said, "Okay."
Murong Fu smiled, made a gesture of invitation, and walked out of the inn.
The Sword Master followed closely behind.
Everyone followed.
Many townspeople came to watch.
They didn't know the identities of Murong Fu and the Sword Saint, they only knew that there were two peerless masters who were going to compete in swordsmanship. Life in the town was monotonous and boring, so many people were happy to come and watch the fun.
"I don't know who cut the willow branches, the spring breeze in February is like a pair of scissors." Murong Fu smiled slightly, chanted the poem, stretched out his right hand, and his two fingers turned into a pair of scissors. He cut the willow branches above his head twice.
There was no fluctuation of spiritual power, and even no use of true energy. With just a gentle snip, Ling Xu cut two willow branches. They fell into Murong Fu's hands. They were both as green as jade, one foot and three inches long, and exactly the same.
Everyone was amazed, thinking it was a peerless martial art. However, laymen only saw the excitement, while experts saw the secrets. The Sword Saint and the Drunken Sword Immortal were both shocked. Because Murong Fu's scissor hand did not use any extraordinary power, it was the manifestation of the sword intent in his heart in the material world. The two knew that Murong Fu's swordsmanship had reached an incredible level. The sword intent had transcended the spiritual world and reached the material world, affecting the material world. The sword intent contained in these two careless scissors could be said to be the presence of the Sword God himself.
The Sword Saint has always prided himself on being the greatest swordsman. He believes that Xu Changqing and the Immortal Nangong Huang, whom he met when he was young, are not as good as him in terms of sword skills.
Now, seeing the power of Murong Fu's sword intent, his Taoist faith was shaken for a moment, his face twisted, and he stood there in a daze.
This is like a third-rate calligrapher seeing Wang Xizhi, or a mediocre poet looking at Li Bai. It is like a dimensionality reduction attack.
"Catch the sword!" Murong Fu said.
As he spoke, Murong Fu threw out the willow branch.
The Sword Master woke up as if from a dream, took the willow branch, strengthened his Taoism heart once again, and his sword heart was clear. The willow branch in his hand merged with the sword energy around him and turned into a sword in the heart.
"I am your senior, you go first!" Murong Fu casually held the willow branch in his hand, his whole body was calm and serene, the willow branch just gently pointed at the sword saint, "I had a good friend in the past, also known as the sword saint, he used the power of three lives and three worlds, and finally created a set of Holy Spirit Sword Technique. The Holy Spirit Sword Technique, from Sword One to Sword Twenty-Three, can be said to be the essence of the sword. Today, I will use the Holy Spirit Sword Technique of another sword saint to meet you! Don't hesitate, make your move!"
Provoked by this, the Sword Master attacked immediately. His sword moves were gentle, yet his techniques were wide and powerful. Although he did not use much force, he fully demonstrated the exquisiteness of Shushan swordsmanship.
"Jianyi!"
"Sword Five!"
"Kenpachi!"
"Sword Eighteen!"
"Sword Twenty-One!"
"Twenty-two swords!"
Murong Fu's willow branch performed the Holy Spirit Sword Technique, but his Holy Spirit Sword Technique had surpassed the Sword Saint's version, and contained the essence of swordsmanship in the Fairy Sword World.
In these dozens of moves, the Sword Master saw the shadows of Shushan, Penglai, and Maoshan swordsmanship, as well as the essence of swordsmanship, which the Sword Master did not recognize at all, but the exquisiteness of them was even better than the sword-controlling technique of the Shushan School's strongest sword god.
The Sword Master could no longer bear it. Although he had fought with Murong Fu for dozens of rounds, Murong Fu acted like an elder and taught him the essentials of swordsmanship. This was a great humiliation for him, a dignified Sword Master.
So, the Sword Master used his strongest move.
Sword Prison!
The Shushan School is not static, and in the world of Fairy Sword, the older the swordplay, the more powerful it is. Murong Fu learned the Shushan swordplay five hundred years ago, and now, over the past five hundred years, many new swordplays have been born in Shushan.
For example, the combination skill "Control the Sword to Subdue Demons", the "Tiangang Sword Formation" that can seal gods and demons, the "Zhuxian Sword Formation" which is said to be impossible for mortals to practice but has the power to destroy the world once practiced, and the "Sword Prison" displayed by the Sword Master at this moment.
These were all new sword techniques that the Shushan Sect had developed over the past five hundred years through the collective wisdom of the masses, innovation and promotion, and Murong Fu did not know any of them.
However, all these sword techniques were derived from the most basic sword-controlling techniques of the Shushan School. Murong Fu learned them as soon as he saw them.
As soon as the Sword Prison move was released, countless sword intentions wrapped around Murong Fu's body, trying to trap him.
This is the Sword Saint's strongest move, which he has never used against anyone. This move uses absolute sword intent to form a sword intent hell. Anyone whose sword intent cannot match that of the Sword Saint will be trapped and killed in it, and be slaughtered by him.
"You really gave me a surprise, Sword Saint! Look at my Holy Spirit Sword Technique: Six Destruction Selfless Sword Twenty-three!"
Murong Fu laughed loudly and gently shook the willow branch in his hand, making a sword sound like a jade harp.
Stab it!
The sword master's left shoulder and clothes were torn by the willow branch.
The Sword Master was stunned, but saw Murong Fu moving with the sword, the sword combining with his human heart, man and sword becoming one, and with the sword moves, he broke through the "Sword Prison", came in front of him, and pierced his left shoulder with the willow branch.
Then, Murong Fu smiled and said, "Thank you!"
After saying this, Murong Fu pulled back the willow branch, flicked his finger, and the willow branch flew into the air and stuck into the soil beside him, going one foot into the ground and almost disappearing.
The Sword Saint was stunned for a few seconds, and finally figured it out. He said in a lost voice: "Your sword has disturbed the cause and effect. The result of stabbing me appeared first, and then the reason for stabbing me appeared? This is a sword technique that transcends cause and effect. Your sword technique is really incredible, a whole new world that I can't imagine. In front of you, I am not worthy of the title of Sword Saint at all."
