Martial Arts: The Secret Villain Starting from Huashan

At this moment, the atmosphere on the field was extremely tense. Xu Xingchen's attack was as turbulent as the tide. The willow branch in his hand drew sharp tracks in the air and was about to hit Fan Yiweng's body.

At this critical moment, Fan Yiweng demonstrated his rich combat experience and adaptability.

Fan Yiweng suddenly shook his head violently. This action seemed simple, but it contained his deep inner strength and precise calculations. His beard moved like a flexible whip with this shake.

It stretched out instantly and rolled towards the willow branch in Xu Xingchen's hand with great force. The end of the beard seemed to have vitality and accurately wrapped around the willow branch. At this moment, time seemed to freeze.

Then he pulled it to the side, and the willow branch was immediately diverted and hit Fan Yiweng from the side.

Although Fan Yiweng cleverly neutralized Xu Xingchen's fierce attack, the process was not without cost.

A large part of Fan Yiweng's beard was also cut off by the sharp sword energy of the willow branch, and it floated in the air and fell to the ground. Fan Yiweng was left with this long beard, which accompanied Fan Yiweng for many years. It was not just a decoration.

In fact, it is an extremely powerful soft weapon. Its usage is the same as other weapons circulating in the martial arts world, such as the soft whip and cloud broom. They are all weapons that require delicate internal strength and precise control to exert their true power.

Fan Yiweng has practiced martial arts for more than ten years. He is flexible and can launch a sudden attack on the enemy when the enemy is unprepared. When used as a hidden weapon, it often achieves the effect of surprising the enemy.

Moreover, Fan Yiweng's beard has helped him resolve countless crises and won him many impossible victories. However, in this duel with Xu Xingchen, the beard once again played its role.

However, because the opponent's willow branch was too sharp, the soft weapon that had accompanied him for many years was cut off.

Seeing this, a gleam of sarcasm flashed in Xu Xingchen's eyes. He stopped his attack, stood where he was, and relaxed his wrist lightly, as if to put a pause on the battle just now.

Then, Xu Xingchen looked at the large piece of Fan Yiweng's beard that had been cut off and fell to the ground, and teased.

"Not bad, Fan Yiweng. You have not wasted all these years. This beard is really amazing. It can be used as a weapon. It is really eye-opening."

At this moment, Xu Xingchen's tone was full of obvious mockery and disdain, as if to say that even a senior in the martial arts world like Fan Yiweng needed to rely on such tricks to save his life.

Xu Xingchen continued.

"Actually, I didn't intend to kill you just now. After all, we were just sparring. If you felt that you couldn't win, you should have just admitted defeat. There was no need to use your beard to block it. Now a large part of your beard is broken off, what a pity!"

Xu Xingchen's words were undoubtedly intended to stimulate Fan Yiweng's self-esteem, implying that he not only lost the battle, but also lost his iconic beard. Xu Xingchen's words were full of provocation.

When Fan Yiweng heard these words, the expression on his face became complicated. He felt humiliated and angry, but at the same time, he had to admit that Xu Xingchen's strength was indeed above his.

In front of this young man, he seemed to have really become an outdated old guy. Fan Yiweng clenched his fists. His self-esteem and pride did not allow him to admit defeat so easily. His eyes flashed with a rekindled fighting spirit. He knew that he could not give up like this.

"There's no point in admitting defeat before the winner is decided. I was careless just now and you took the initiative. Now let's fight again."

Fan Yiweng's voice suddenly became firm, and his words were full of an indomitable spirit.

Hearing the voice, Xu Xingchen smiled with a slight curve at the corner of his mouth.

"Since you don't accept it, I will beat you until you accept it."

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Xingchen turned his wrist, and the willow branch in his hand seemed to be given life in an instant, spinning and drawing a beautiful sword flower. His figure became elegant and sharp at this moment.

Perform the Taishan School's [Five Doctors Sword], which is one of the most advanced sword techniques in the Taishan School. It requires the practitioner to have extremely high internal strength and precise control to perform.

As Xu Xingchen's internal strength was activated, the willow branch suddenly stabbed out at such a fast speed that the air almost made a whistling sound. This sword, although seemingly simple, contained endless changes and profound meanings.

Because each of its strikes seems to contain the force of a mountain pressing down on one's head, making it difficult to resist.

Seeing that the young man Xu Xingchen had such high martial arts skills, Fan Yiweng devoted his full attention to the battle, wielding the dragon-headed steel staff in his hand with a whirring sound, while waving his beard around and attacking from all directions.

His vertical and horizontal sweeps actually formed unique moves. Sometimes the beard was a feint, but the steel staff was a real move, attracting Xu Xingchen's attention; sometimes he used the staff to lure the enemy, but suddenly took advantage of the opportunity to attack with his beard.

It is hard to guard against, and this combination of real and fake tactics is indeed a wonderful skill never seen before in the martial arts world.

Fan Yiweng's beard danced with his internal strength, like a flexible whip, sometimes like a spirit snake coming out of a cave, sometimes like a dragon crossing the river, with endless changes, and his steel staff was like a hard python, and every strike carried a heavy force.

The combination of these two strange weapons made Fan Yiweng like a skilled craftsman. He wanted to lead Xu Xingchen into a bottomless maze. Each of his moves was full of traces of wisdom and experience, and each attack seemed carefully designed, making it unpredictable.

“Ding ding ding…Puchi…Puchi…”

As the willow branch intersected with the dragon-headed steel staff, crisp metal collision sounds rang out. Xu Xingchen used the willow branch in his hand to perform five consecutive swords of the Taishan School's [Five Doctors Sword]. Each sword move was ancient and impressive.

It seemed as if he had the majesty and calmness of Mount Tai, which made Fan Yiweng feel very uncomfortable and he had to resist with all his strength.

In particular, during the fierce fight, Fan Yiweng's arms and waist were stabbed and cut by the flexible willow branches in Xu Xingchen's hands. Bright red blood flowed out of the wounds, staining his clothes red.

Although these wounds were not fatal, they caused Fan Yiweng great pain and inconvenience, affecting his performance. Despite being seriously injured, Fan Yiweng did not retreat, he gritted his teeth.

He continued to wave the dragon-headed steel staff in his hand, trying to suppress Xu Xingchen with a more violent attack.

However, Xu Xingchen's [Five Doctors Sword] was like the water of the Yangtze River, flowing continuously and seemingly endless. His swordsmanship was smooth and coherent, and each sword accurately hit the flaws in Fan Yiweng's moves, making it difficult for him to find a chance to counterattack.

The Taishan School's [Five Officials Sword] embodies the ancient spirit of Taishan. Every move and every style reveals a quiet and profound power. According to legend, there is an extremely ancient pine tree on Taishan, which was named the [Five Officials Pine] during the Qin Dynasty.

Its twisted branches extend obliquely and are covered with lush green, witnessing the changes of countless years. The great-grandmaster of Taishan School, Yu Qingzi and Yu Yinzi, realized this sword technique while observing these ancient pines.

The moves of this [Five Doctors Sword] are ancient yet flexible. They appear simple on the outside but are actually quite amazing.

Every sword strike seemed to contain the weight and solidity of Mount Tai, and every move seemed to carry the majesty and calmness of Mount Tai. Facing such sword skills, Fan Yiweng felt an unprecedented pressure.

He found that the more he wanted to fight back, the more he became trapped in Xu Xingchen's sword moves and couldn't extricate himself.

The sword skills performed by the willow branch in Xu Xingchen's hand were like an invisible big net. Every swing was like weaving fine silk threads in the net, binding Fan Yiweng tightly inside, making it impossible for Fan Yiweng to find any flaws.

After fighting with Fan Yiweng for quite a while, Xu Xingchen felt that it was almost time. Although his meridians were somewhat damaged, he could still mobilize 50% of his internal strength to fight with others.

Once it exceeds 50%, Xu Xingchen will feel unbearable and heart-wrenching pain inside his body. This pain is not only physical, but also deep in his bone marrow. Every time the internal force exceeds 50%,

Xu Xingchen felt as if he was pierced by thousands of steel needles. The pain made it almost impossible for him to concentrate on fighting, so when fighting with others, he only needed to mobilize no more than 50% of his internal strength.

That's right, the reason why Xu Xingchen didn't end the battle so early was because Xu Xingchen wanted to use Fan Yiweng as a test to see how much of his internal strength he could mobilize to fight the enemy when fighting with others.
