Chapter 318 It’s here!

The Wudang disciples performed the Seven Star Flowing Cloud Step and the Ten Directions Sword Formation unfolded, arranging themselves into several circles of varying sizes in an orderly manner, just like the yin and yang in the Tai Chi diagram. As the long swords danced, they cut the Chaos Hall disciples into several parts.

In the sword formation, the attackers attack and the defenders defend, and ten people can block the attack of thirty or forty people.

Zhang Changshou, the deputy head of Chaos Hall, was dressed in black clothes that rustled as he ran. He held a long sword in his hand and used the Divine Religion's unique sword technique, the Cloud-Breaking and Mist-Stopping Sword Technique. The sword flashed and was unstoppable.

However, facing the tight defense of the Wudang Ten Directions Sword Formation, he only swung out three times before he felt the sword net was like a weave and he had nowhere to exert force, and all three swords were blocked.

Just as Zhang Changshou was astonished, three long swords stabbed silently at his throat.

He was horrified and quickly threw down his sword to block the three swords. However, two more swords stabbed out silently from behind him, accurately piercing his heart and kidneys, killing him instantly.

Zhang Changshou half-knelt on the ground and looked up with difficulty. He saw that as the sword light flowed, each link was closely connected, like stars moving in the night sky, independent of each other and yet interdependent.

"So that's how it is. Everything is linked together. You are in me and I am in you..." Zhang Changshou muttered to himself. No wonder he was stabbed twice from the back. He was not facing one sword formation, but multiple sword formations that were closely connected.

Ren Woxing looked down at the battlefield, his expression revealing a bit of surprise, "I didn't expect that after so many years, I would still be able to see the Wudang Ten Directions Sword Formation."

Seeing that Wudang could hold its own against a larger force with fewer people, Linghu Chong secretly breathed a sigh of relief, "It really is worthy of being called 'Shaolin in the North, Wudang in the South'! This foundation is truly amazing."

Shi Guangda practiced the Feiying sword technique. When he danced with the sword, his body was like a shadow, and the sword light was dazzling and layered, which made people dizzy and difficult to find his real body.

It’s a pity that he met Chongxu, the Tai Chi sword master who used stillness to overcome movement and struck back after being attacked.

But Shi Guangda's wrist turned, the sword light suddenly became stronger, and the one sword turned into three, attacking Taoist Chongxu together.

But Taoist Chongxu suddenly changed his tactics and used the Wudang Sword - Chasing Shape and Cutting Meridians, striking Shi Guangda on the wrist.

The Wudang swordsmanship is famous throughout the world. Except for the Tai Chi swordsmanship, all other styles are composed of four sets of swordsmanship, namely the walking sword, the momentum sword, the flying dragon sword and the shape sword.

Among the four Wudang swords, the Shape Sword is the most important, as it is able to understand the opponent's movements and even consciousness, and achieve the effect of striking first after being struck.

Just like what Taoist Chongxu did at this moment, he intercepted Shi Guangda's wrist attack at a clever angle and blocked his attack.

After taking away Shi Guangda's sword with one move, Taoist Chongxu did not pause, but turned his wrist lightly, like a spring breeze blowing on willows, and the Wudang sword technique of Sweeping the Neck to Find the Plum Blossom was displayed leisurely.

The tip of the sword cut through the air, creating a slight gust of wind, as fast as a meteor, piercing through Le Shi Guangda's throat, leaving a shocking blood mark, just like a cold plum blossom blooming proudly in the snow, revealing the truth in silence.

Shi Guangda stood still, his eyes full of disbelief. He had never expected that the swordsmanship that he was so proud of would be so vulnerable in front of Taoist Chongxu.

Taoist Chongxu had no time to catch his breath after killing Shi Guangda, so he turned around and helped the Wudang people resist the attacks of the Chaos Hall disciples. With the addition of him, the world's top master, Wudang finally managed to hold its ground.

However, the number of disciples in Chaos Hall was large and their momentum was fierce. Although the Wudang side had the help of Taoist Chongxu, they still seemed outnumbered. The flashing of swords and the sound of metal clashing were endless.

If there was no external assistance, it would be only a matter of time before Wudang was destroyed by the Sun and Moon Sect.

Seeing this, Linghu Chong was about to draw his sword to help when a deep and long Buddhist chant suddenly came from afar: "Amitabha!"

The sound was like the ringing of a bell in a valley, which lifted everyone's spirits.

Everyone looked over and saw Master Fang Zheng, wearing a golden cassock, walking towards them with steady steps. Following behind him were Masters Fang Jing and Fang Cheng, both of whom also had extraordinary bearing and solemn expressions.

Further back, there were eighteen warrior monks in single robes. They were burly and marched in unison, like a solid wall of steel, emitting a chilling aura. The last row was hundreds of lay disciples. They were dressed simply and had cold eyes. They were all martial artists.

Dongfang Bubai turned his head and looked over, a hint of teasing flashed in his eyes, and he said with a smile: "Fang Zheng, you actually brought the Shaolin Eighteen Bronze Men out of the temple, it's really rare to see you!"

Masters Fang Jing and Fang Cheng ignored Dongfang Bubai. They led the Shaolin martial arts troupe and, like a sharp knife, were unstoppable. They thrust straight into the battlefield and instantly broke the stalemate between the two sides.

While practicing the Golden Bell Cover, the Eighteen Bronze Men will also choose to practice one of the Seventy-two Unique Skills, so their strength is above the second-rate level. If the eighteen people cooperate with each other, even the top masters will find it difficult to resist.

With the addition of Shaolin's new force, the Wudang people felt that they were strong again and began to fight back on their own initiative.

However, this sudden confidence inadvertently broke the tacit cooperation among the Wudang people.

In the sword formation, the disciples were originally as one, with sword lights intertwined and impeccable.
But at this moment, they each rushed out of the sword formation and tried to defeat the Chaos Hall disciples with their own martial arts.

The Ten Directions Sword Formation was broken up in an incredible way. Once the sword formation was broken, Wudang's defense line instantly became fragile. The disciples' cooperation became disorganized, causing more casualties in a short period of time.

Taoist Chongxu felt dizzy after seeing this and felt that he had not taught his disciples enough.

Master Fang Zheng did not participate in the battle. He bowed slightly to Dongfang Bubai and said, "Donor Dongfang, I haven't seen you for many years. You have really changed a lot." "You have aged a lot," Dongfang Bubai looked at Master Fang Zheng and asked, "Ten years ago, I asked you what the meaning of life is. Do you have an answer?"

Master Fang Zheng put his hands together and said devoutly: "The one true Dharma realm nature is unchanging and can adapt to circumstances. The three bodies and four lands are all created by the mind."

One means there is no two.

Truth means not false.

Because they are interconnected and integrated, they are called Dharma Realm.

The equal Dharmakaya of all Buddhas has been neither born nor destroyed since the beginning, neither empty nor existent, free from name and form, without inside or outside, only one reality, inconceivable, and therefore called the One True Dharma Realm.

The three bodies are the Dharmakaya, Sambhogakaya and Nirmanakaya of the Buddha.

The four lands are the land where ordinary people and sages coexist, the land of expedient means, the land of real rewards and adornments, and the land of eternal tranquility and light.

Although Master Fang Zheng's words are so profound, in simple terms, the most fundamental nature of all things in the universe is unchanging and real, but it can adapt to various conditions and situations. The three bodies and four pure lands of Buddha are all created by the mind, so the mind has infinite possibilities and creativity.

The essence of life is that life is like a dream, and when you wake up from the dream you become a Buddha.

But Dongfang Bubai frowned slightly after listening to it, and said with some dissatisfaction: "This is why I can't talk to you monks. I asked you to answer, but you used this Zen rhetoric to fool me."

After hearing this, Master Fang Zheng was not angry. Instead, he said politely, "Please enlighten me, Donor Dongfang."

"When I first became the leader, I was full of vigor and ambition. I talked about achieving success in literature and martial arts, and reviving the holy religion. It was really shameless bragging."

Dongfang Bubai propped his chin with one hand, looked at the Zhongtianmen city wall not far away, and said leisurely: "It was not until later that I studied the Sunflower Manual day after day, year after year, and slowly realized the true meaning of life."

"After that, I continued to practice diligently, and my inner strength improved day by day. As time went by, I finally understood the key to the transformation of heaven and man and the growth of all things."

While Dongfang Bubai was discussing the meaning of life with Master Fangzheng, Zuo Lengchan led many masters of the Five Mountains Sword Sect to the vicinity of Zhongtianmen.

They heard bursts of shouting and killing coming from not far away, as well as the clanging sounds of weapons clashing, which were endless.

“It seems that the fighting has already started, but I don’t know which side is fighting which side.” Yue Buqun stroked his beard and said solemnly.

Zuo Lengchan thought for a while and said immediately: "Let's go over and take a look at the situation first. Le Hou and Lu Bai will lead the archers to wait here. They will come out after hearing three whistles."

"Yes!" Le Hou and Lu Bai responded and led three hundred archers to lurk aside.

So, Zuo Lengchan led the remaining members of the Five Mountains Sword Sect, passing through the lush forest and arriving in front of Zhongtianmen Square. Everyone felt that the view in front of them suddenly became clear, and the first person they saw was Master Fangzheng who was discussing Taoism with Dongfang Bubai.

Then they discovered that the two sides fighting were Shaolin and Wudang and the Sun and Moon Sect, while Ren Woxing and others were just sitting on the mountain watching the fight, feeling very uncomfortable.

Everyone from the Five Mountains Sword Sect looked a little strange, and for a moment they were even a little confused about the situation at the scene.

While the people below are fighting for their lives, the people above are sitting and discussing. What a weird development!

Ren Woxing caught a glimpse of Zuo Lengchan and his party stepping into Zhongtianmen Square, and a playful smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. He then laughed loudly, his voice like a bell, and shouted arrogantly: "Finally they are here! Dongfang Bubai, Master Fangzheng, Chongxu, and Zuo Lengchan. Let's end this here today!"

As he spoke, Ren Woxing pointed to one side and said, "Dongfang Bubai, look who this is?!"

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound and saw Yang Lianting tied tightly to a wooden stake, his body covered in scars, bloodstains, and his hair disheveled. He looked extremely miserable.

Seeing his beloved being treated like this, Dongfang Bubai lost all interest in discussing the Dao. He glared at Ren Woxing and said coldly, "Ren Woxing, you are courting death!"

As soon as he finished speaking, his aura suddenly changed, and a sharp murderous intent quickly spread, making everyone present feel cold.

"Hahaha"

Ren Woxing was not afraid at all, he laughed and said: "I gave you a chance before, but you were useless! However, considering your strength, I will give you another chance. Kill Fang Zheng, Chong Xu, and Zuo Lengchan, and I will let this guy go."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone from the Five Mountains Sword Sect subconsciously grasped the hilts of their swords, fearing that Dongfang Bubai would suddenly attack them.

Zuo Lengchan suggested calmly, "Master Dongfang, why don't we join forces and kill Ren Woxing first!"
