Chapter 1238

What truly made him sad was that he had lost the opportunity to rely on a powerful backer.

Yuan Chengzhi's explanation clearly drew a line between himself and Xia Xueyi.

Jiao Gongli found it difficult to force the issue.

Mei Jianhe said impatiently:

"So who exactly are you?"

Yuan Chengzhi said with a pretentious tone:

"I am Yuan Chengzhi, a disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect. My master's surname is Mu, his given name is Renqing, and his title is the Divine Sword Immortal Ape."

The crowd was in an uproar upon hearing this.

Mei Jianhe was also stunned,

his expression shifting between light and shadow.

Sun Zhongjun said uncertainly:

"Could it be the junior uncle that Grandmaster took in?"

Both of them had heard a little about this junior uncle named Yuan Chengzhi, but they had never been able to meet him.

They hadn't expected their first meeting to be in such an awkward scene.

Min Zihua looked at Mei Jianhe,

and immediately began to hesitate.

Although the Huashan Sword Sect was not as uniquely prominent as the Huashan Sect in "Sword Stained with Royal Blood,"

it was not something the Xiandu Sect could compare to.

Plus, Mei Jianhe was also a disciple of the Huashan Sword Sect,

so after some thought, Min Zihua decided to let the two of them resolve their own grievances first.

Min Zihua's retreat deprived Yuan Chengzhi of another opportunity to grandstand,

and also left Mei Jianhe in a difficult position.

Not to mention the loss of face from calling someone much younger than himself "junior uncle" in front of everyone,

just the fact that his long sword had been knocked away by Yuan Chengzhi earlier had caused him to lose all face.

After a moment of thought, he decided to hold his ground.

Mei Jianhe cleared his throat and said:

"You say you are my junior uncle, so you are my junior uncle? Show me your skills and let me see."

Saying this, he picked up the long sword he had retrieved,

and thrust it toward Yuan Chengzhi.

Yuan Chengzhi also responded with Huashan sword techniques to engage him.

His internal energy cultivation was higher, and his sword techniques were practiced more purely and exquisitely,

so he handled it quite easily.

Seeing the same Huashan sword techniques in Yuan Chengzhi's hand,

everyone already believed Yuan Chengzhi's claims.

Sun Zhongjun was watching the battle nervously,

when suddenly she felt a gaze full of hatred.

Subconsciously looking over,

she saw Hong Shenghai hiding in the crowd.

Sun Zhongjun's delicate brows stood up,

and she shouted in a sharp voice:

"Hong Shenghai! I didn't expect you to dare appear before me again; today is the day you die!"

Saying this, she drew her sword and thrust it toward Hong Shenghai.

Hong Shenghai was shocked upon seeing this and hurriedly sought Yuan Chengzhi's protection.

Yuan Chengzhi, relying on his superior martial arts,

took over Sun Zhongjun's attack,

and for a time, he was actually fighting two people at once.

His effortless appearance was quite imposing,

but unfortunately, both opponents were members of the Huashan Sword Sect.

Sun Zhongjun and Mei Jianhe's expressions became increasingly ugly.

Yuan Chengzhi's move had successfully allowed him to grandstand and had brought fame to the Huashan Sword Sect,

but it had only damaged the face of the disciples of Gui Xinshu's lineage.

The two stopped holding back, and their sword moves became increasingly fierce and cruel.

The two had been cooperating for several years,

and although they had no systematic joint attack moves,

their attacks were quite tacit.

Yuan Chengzhi immediately began to struggle.

Both sides were very familiar with Huashan sword techniques;

it was no exaggeration to say they were mutually restraining.

Yuan Chengzhi had originally been a cut above,

but with Sun Zhongjun filling the gaps,

Mei Jianhe gradually gained the upper hand.

Yuan Chengzhi, seeing this, knew he could no longer rely solely on Huashan sword techniques.

Everyone saw a flash of golden light,

and the Jin Shejian was already in Yuan Chengzhi's hand.

Mei Jianhe's long sword was immediately snapped,

and Sun Zhongjun's long sword was snatched away by Yuan Chengzhi,

while she herself was sent flying backward,

falling to the ground in a sorry state.

In the flash of lightning, everything happened too fast.

By the time everyone reacted, both had been defeated.

Yuan Chengzhi explained the matter of Hong Shenghai in front of everyone,

and finally said with a righteous appearance:

"You killed dozens of people in the Hong family. Is such a vicious method something we of the Huashan Sword Sect, a righteous sect, should do? If you dare to move again, this sword will be your end."

Saying this, he exerted his "Hunyuan Skill" to shatter Sun Zhongjun's precious sword into powder.

In the arena, apart from Jiao Gongli and Hong Shenghai, who showed joy,

the expressions of the others turned strange one after another.

Just at this moment,

a deep, resonant voice came:

"What an arrogant brat!"

One saw the newcomer with a gloomy face and fierce eyes;

it was none other than the "Invincible Divine Fist" Gui Xinshu and his wife,

who were Yuan Chengzhi's second senior brother and second senior sister-in-law.

The fact that the two of them appeared here so quickly was naturally because Gu Hanyuan had lured them here last night.

Gui Erniang was naturally a person who protected her own,

and seeing her two disciples defeated so miserably,

she had intended to stand up for them.

Seeing the Jin Shejian in Yuan Chengzhi's hand and Mei Jianhe's snapped long sword,

her face immediately turned bright red,

and her eyes even became bloodshot.

She shouted angrily: ===== CHAPTER 1240 =====
