Sect Master’s Immortal Journey

Chapter 180: Fights (Middle Part)

Although Ruan Dadao knew he shouldn't argue with Meng Zhang at this time, he couldn't help but speak up when he saw Meng Zhang's smug expression. "Since Sect Master Meng of the Little Sect looks down on this great formation of Green Bamboo Mountain, why don't we have Taiyi Sect face them head-on while we attack from the side?"

"Why should I? I'm not a fool. You want my disciples to face the enemy head-on while you hide and take advantage of the situation. You really think I'm as foolish as you?" Meng Zhang immediately retorted. Although Taiyi Sect and Golden Blade Sect had temporarily formed an alliance due to the situation, their relationship was far from good.

"Alright, alright. We should all work together at this critical moment. Don't ruin our friendship over some petty argument," Aunt Jin quickly intervened when she saw Ruan Dadao getting angry at Meng Zhang.

"Of course, those who are capable should take on more responsibility. If Sect Master Meng really has a way to deal with the formation of Green Bamboo Mountain, then this heavy task should be entrusted to him," Aunt Jin turned the conversation around and teased Meng Zhang.

"Yes, Sect Master Meng talks big. I wonder if he's just bluffing," Ruan Dadao emphasized the word "little Meng" in his words.

Lin Shenpo wanted to say something, but Xu Yishan stopped him with a look. Green Bamboo Mountain was approaching with great momentum, and someone had to stop them. Taiyi Sect facing Green Bamboo Mountain head-on was a win-win situation.

Meng Zhang seemed to have been caught by Aunt Jin's words and actually agreed to let Taiyi Sect face Green Bamboo Mountain head-on. Of course, Meng Zhang wouldn't act so easily and also proposed his own conditions. After a simple negotiation, everyone finally reached an agreement.

At this time, the humped sand lizard beast was approaching the front of the four sects' joint forces at a slow speed. After Meng Zhang gave the order through transmission technique, Wen Qiansun took the initiative to lead the Taiyi Sect disciples who had already formed a formation to face Green Bamboo Mountain head-on, while the cultivators of the other three sects flanked them from both sides.

After giving the order, Meng Zhang flew forward with several Foundation Building period cultivators. There were some conventions or customs in the Cultivation World for such a head-on battle. Soldiers faced soldiers, generals faced generals. Other than that, there were no opportunities to use tactics or strategies.

Seeing the Foundation Building period cultivators of the four sects flying over, a group of Foundation Building period cultivators on the other side also flew out. Since they had already started fighting, there was no need for words. They just chose their opponents and fought without hesitation.

The top fighter of Green Bamboo Mountain, Zhu Jianfei, was at the forefront. He had a mid-level Foundation Building cultivation base and was proficient in combat skills. Aunt Jin, the elder of Qiaoshou Sect, stepped forward to face him. Green Bamboo Mountain was named after the various spiritual bamboos that grew on the mountain. In addition to most of the First Rank spiritual bamboos, there were also a few Second Rank spiritual bamboos. Zhu Jianfei had selected a batch of Second Rank spiritual bamboos and refined them into a set of green bamboo swords. There were exactly twelve green bamboo swords, which formed a sword formation.

Aunt Jin was also a veteran Foundation Building cultivator and was considered the strongest among the affiliated forces of Twin Success Valley. Zhu Jianfei did not underestimate her because she was a woman. He showed his true skills from the beginning. The twelve green bamboo swords were connected end to end, forming a circular green ring that directly covered Aunt Jin. Aunt Jin dodged and shot out several golden lights from her hand.Qiaoshou Sect's female cultivators were mostly skilled in using needles, which were not only used for sewing but also as deadly weapons. In Qiaoshou Sect, flying needles were more popular than flying swords. Aunt Jin had a set of golden needles that consisted of eighteen needles. In her hands, this set of flying needles was extremely sharp, invincible, and elusive, making it difficult for people to defend against.

Zhu Jianfei and Aunt Jin immediately engaged in a fierce battle. Liu Dajiang was the elder of Liu Family and also a mid-level Foundation Building cultivator. He followed closely behind Zhu Jianfei and flew towards his opponent. Xu Yishan of Forest Mountain School took the initiative to meet him and fought him head-on.

The reason why Forest Mountain School was able to persuade the other three sects to join forces against Green Bamboo Mountain and Liu Family was partly due to Xu Yishan's breakthrough from the early Foundation Building period to the mid-level Foundation Building period. Liu Dahai, the head of Liu Family, Liu Dachuan, and Azure Bamboo, the Sect Master of Green Bamboo Mountain, faced Ruan Dadao, Lin Shenpo, and Meng Zhang, respectively.

These six people were all early Foundation Building cultivators. Lin Shenpo had only recently advanced to the Foundation Building period, and Meng Zhang had only been in the Foundation Building period for less than a year. The other four were experienced and cunning cultivators who had been in the Foundation Building period for many years. The six of them divided into three pairs and fought each other.

Meng Zhang's opponent was Azure Bamboo, the Sect Master of Green Bamboo Mountain. Although both of them were Sect Masters, they were not at the same level. Azure Bamboo had already entered the Foundation Building period before Meng Zhang was even born and had been in charge of Green Bamboo Mountain since then. As a renowned strong cultivator, Azure Bamboo looked down on Meng Zhang, a newly promoted Foundation Building cultivator.

However, once he started fighting, he had to put aside all his prejudices. The weapon in Azure Bamboo's hand was a bamboo stick made from Second Rank spiritual bamboo, just like Old Man Bamboo Stick. After Deep Earth killed Old Man Bamboo Stick, his magic tool became Deep Earth's spoils of war. Due to confidentiality reasons, Deep Earth had never used that bamboo stick.

Meng Zhang had gained some understanding of Green Bamboo Mountain's techniques by examining the magic tools of Old Man Bamboo Stick and various books in the storage bag. After the battle began, Meng Zhang first released the Crimson Flame Sword and made a frontal attack. The Crimson Flame Sword was powered by Solar True Qi and caused a sea of fire.

Then, while Azure Bamboo was busy defending against the Crimson Flame Sword, Meng Zhang released the Short Sword Poison Fang and used Lunar True Qi to launch a sneak attack from behind. The Poison Fang was specifically used for assassination and had a vicious and mysterious move. The two flying swords, one bright and one dark, one normal and one strange, alternated their attacks, covering each other and killing Azure Bamboo, an experienced Foundation Building cultivator, without any counterattack.

The Strange and Upright Sword Art was the jade slip that Meng Zhang and Jue Ying obtained from the Purple Gold Sect cultivator's cave. This sword technique required a Foundation Building cultivation base to practice, and Meng Zhang began practicing it immediately after entering the Foundation Building period. Meng Zhang was indeed talented and had mastered the essence of this sword technique in just a few months and used it in actual combat.

Although he temporarily gained the upper hand, Meng Zhang dared not be careless. As a lord of a sect, Azure Bamboo must have some hidden cards. Meng Zhang would not be at ease until he forced these cards out.

Shortly after the other two pairs of cultivators began fighting, they fell into a fierce battle. They were all early Foundation Building cultivators, and their foundations were not much different. Even if they fought for half a day, it was difficult to determine a clear winner, let alone kill their opponent. At least for now, neither side had used a decisive move.
