Zhou Chuan's eyes were also filled with shock as he murmured, "My master... is probably already at the late Grandmaster level!"
Zhou Nuo said, "This is already beyond the reach of ordinary people!"
Zhou Chuan looked at Luo Wushan and said, "Luo Wushan's cultivation is no less than Master's."
Zhou Nuo let out a long breath and said, "Being able to witness this battle, all my years of experience traveling the martial world have been worthwhile!"
Zhou Chuan nodded, agreeing with Zhou Nuo's words. As a member of the martial arts world, witnessing this battle was worthwhile.
At this moment, they no longer cared about life or death. Even Xu Qingshan on the other side was excited and proud to witness this battle.
Cangwu lowered his hand and pointed to Luowu Mountain.
The enormous phantom sword hanging in the night sky flew towards Luowu Mountain.
As soon as the illusory sword moved, the wind and snow stirred, and a blizzard pelted down on Mount Luowu.
The surrounding houses were covered by snow and ice, and a layer of crystal-clear ice had formed on the ground.
Luo Wushan raised his crutches and spun them around like a pair of spirals, stirring up a powerful airflow—that was Luo Wushan's terrifying internal energy.
All the wind and snow were churned into the spiral and torn to shreds. The huge illusory sword was worn down little by little by the internal force, becoming shorter and shorter, until it was gradually ground to dust.
The snowstorm stopped, and Luo Wushan seemed tired as well, so he leaned on his cane and coughed twice.
Cangwu said, "Luo the tortoise, you get more and more durable as you get older, your internal strength is truly powerful."
Luo Wushan said, "Old man, if my legs were fine, I could beat you up like it's nothing."
Cangwu said with a look of disdain, "Nonsense! If you didn't have a problem with your legs, would you have the skill to specialize in cultivating internal energy?"
Luo Wushan snorted coldly and said, "I am the best in internal strength, and you are the best in swordsmanship, but internal strength is the foundation of any martial art. As long as I want, I can master any martial art without falling behind."
"Tsk tsk tsk..."
Cangwu touched his white hair and said, "Fighting is fighting, but you're starting to brag."
Luo Wushan said, "You've led me astray!"
"Stop talking nonsense, keep hitting!"
Cangwu made his move again, instantly conjuring a phantom sword in his palm. He glanced at Zhou Chuan midway and said, "Kid, watch closely!"
Upon hearing this and observing the way Cangwu was drawing his sword, Zhou Chuan immediately realized that Cangwu was about to use the Gentleman's Sword!
Many people have heard of the name of the Jinghai Sword Master, but they do not know his cultivation level. They only know that he knows hundreds of sword techniques.
For example, he taught Zhou Chuan the Gentleman's Sword, but taught Hao Qing the Wind and Snow Sword.
Some even say he knows the Alluring Sword Technique, which women practice.
The atmosphere was completely different when the sword was thrust out, unlike when the Wind and Snow Sword was used.
It was as if the night sky was filled with the sound of chanting Buddhist hymns.
That was a lesson.
There was no violent sword energy, nor was there much of a spectacle; it was just a clean, simple sword strike.
In Zhou Chuan's eyes, besides the Cangwu that was thrusting towards Luo Wushan's front, another Cangwu appeared behind Luo Wushan, slowly walking towards him. From the side and above, another Cangwu was also slowly approaching.
Some had serious expressions, some had smiles, and some were full of kindness. They didn't seem to be looking for Luo Wushan to fight, but rather to have wine and tea with him.
Ironically, this peaceful atmosphere made Luo Wushan's face turn ugly. Luo Wushan put his crutches down on the ground, soared into the sky, smashed the Cangwu above his head into a phantom, then gathered a huge amount of internal energy, saw the real Cangwu at a glance, and directly smashed it down from above.
At that moment, the air in the night sky seemed to freeze.
A huge black shadow fell towards Cangwu.
"Mount Tai pressing down!"
Cangwu's expression also became solemn. He lowered his left hand, spread his five fingers, and the long sword that he had previously stabbed into the ground trembled and then flew into his hand.
Cangwu finally used his real sword, thrusting it towards the sky.
It pierced towards Luowu Mountain, which was falling from the sky.
Bang!!!
Mount Tai and the dark clouds both vanished into nothingness.
Luo Wushan landed, stumbled back a few steps, and was helped back into his wheelchair by Hei Tong and Bai Wa.
Cangwu also took a few steps back and planted his longsword in the ground to steady himself.
Luo Wushan stared at Cangwu and said, "Charge your sword."
Cangwu said, "You even know how to store a sword? Have you locked yourself up like a turtle?"
Luo Wushan said, "Most of your sword techniques are flashy, but this sword-holding technique, though simple, is the most practical."
“I see…” Zhou Chuan seemed to understand something and said to Zhou Nuo, “Before Master made his move, he stuck the sword into the ground. In fact, he was gathering power for the sword. Gathering power for the sword means first hiding it. Once enough power is gathered, the sword will have infinite power when it is drawn. If it hadn’t been gathering power for the sword just now, the Gentleman’s Sword would not have been able to withstand Luo Wushan’s attack.”
Zhou Nuo exclaimed, "The senior's methods are truly astounding!"
Zhou Chuan said, "One path leads to a hundred paths. You can learn from the principles of sword-holding and apply them to your archery skills."
Zhou Nuo's eyes lit up, and he nodded, saying, "I understand, brother!"
On the other side, Cangwu continued, "You've even used Mount Tai Press down, but I still have many sword techniques I haven't used yet. How can you fight me?"
Luo Wushan said, "I told you, most of your swordsmanship is just flashy and fancy."
"What about this one?"
Cangwu brandished his sword, and white and blue ice crystals immediately appeared beneath his feet and spread outwards. When you looked at Cangwu again, you felt that he was much younger, even somewhat... dazzling!
Zhou Chuan exclaimed in surprise, "The Alluring Sword! Master really knows it!!"
Luo Wushan shook his head and said, "I'm speechless. You even study the swords that women practice!"
"As long as it works!" Cangwu drew his sword at Luo Wushan again.
This time, before Luo Wushan could even react, a figure landed in front of Cangwu, flicked Cangwu's sword with the back of his hand, then touched Cangwu's hand along the blade, and pulled Cangwu away, creating distance between them.
He stood between Cangwu and Luowu Mountains and bowed to the two men alternately.
"Senior Cangwu, Senior Luowushan, my apologies."
This person was dressed in brocade robes and looked to be in his forties, but he had regular features and was very good-looking.
Upon seeing this person, Cangwu sheathed his sword and said, "Flowing Cloud Hand, so it's His Highness the Crown Prince."
Luo Wushan cupped his hands and said, "Your Highness has excellent skills. It is said that although Hou Cang only has one Grandmaster, he is a ruthless person who can defeat Merlin Overlord in one move."
Crown Prince Liu Yun of Hou Cang smiled and said, "I dare not accept such praise. Both of you are reclusive masters, and I, a mere mortal prince, am not worth mentioning. I have no ability to handle political affairs, so I just like to practice martial arts. Hou Cang does indeed only have me as a Grandmaster, but although I am a mid-stage Grandmaster, compared to the two late-stage Grandmaster immortals, I am just a joke."
Cangwu asked, "What is the meaning of the Crown Prince's intervention to stop me?"
Liu Yun bowed and said, "I have no ill intentions towards you, senior. I just hope you will do me a favor. For the sake of the public, this is Hou Cang, and as the crown prince, I still have to uphold Hou Cang's reputation."
"From a private perspective..."
Liu Yun paused for a moment, then waved his hand at the surrounding houses and said, "I urge you two seniors to consider the hardships of the common people and to use your power. If fighting breaks out again, Jiuzhai Town will probably be razed to the ground."
