Duan Zhengchun transmigrates to Yin Zhiping

Chapter 240 Duan Zhengchun Accepts the Challenge

The second round of challenges has officially begun!

"Guo'er, I never expected that your martial arts skills would have become so advanced after all these years!"

"Now let Uncle Guo experience your skills. Don't be nervous, just relax and play freely."

Guo Jing slowly walked out of the crowd, his eyes filled with the same satisfaction and admiration as he looked at Yang Guo.

He still feels indebted to Yang Guo, believing that he shouldn't have listened to his wife Huang Rong and sent Yang Guo to the Quanzhen Sect, otherwise he wouldn't have been bullied.

Thinking of all this, Guo Jing turned to look at Duan Zhengchun, his heart filled with gratitude.

Huang Rong, standing to the side, also looked embarrassed. She had originally thought that Yang Guo would be like his father, but she never expected that Yang Guo would now become the famous Condor Hero.

"Uncle Guo, please forgive my rudeness."

Yang Guo bowed and slowly said a sentence.

Although he had let go of his hatred, he still couldn't help but feel a bit uneasy, after all, his father had died at Huang Rong's hands.

Guo Jing smiled and nodded, then raised his hand to signal before getting into a fighting stance.

Yang Guo didn't say anything more and took the initiative to attack, rushing towards Guo Jing at lightning speed!

The uncle and nephew soon put on a spectacular showdown!

In their back-and-forth exchanges, Yang Guo displayed a series of brilliant moves, leaving the onlookers astonished by his current skill level.

It should be noted that Guo Jing was already a renowned hero in the martial arts world, and his martial arts skills were undoubtedly superb. It was unexpected that Yang Guo could hold his own against Guo Jing and not be at a disadvantage at all.

"He has really grown a lot."

"You really make your master proud."

Xiaolongnu slowly approached Duan Zhengchun's side, looked at Yang Guo who was fighting with Guo Jing, and said something meaningful.

"No, his achievements are all the result of his own hard work. I did nothing."

Duan Zhengchun shook his head, smiled, and said something with pride in his eyes.

To be honest, although he was Yang Guo's master, he didn't actually teach Yang Guo too much martial arts. He only taught him some methods of practicing martial arts and the principles of life.

As the saying goes, the master leads you through the door, but the cultivation is up to you. Yang Guo was indeed excellent and hardworking enough.

Before they knew it, the two had exchanged over a hundred blows. They were both exceptionally skilled, and their speed in attacking was simply unbelievable.

Immediately afterward, with a loud bang, the two exchanged another palm strike, and then each retreated five steps back almost simultaneously!

But those with discerning eyes had already seen through the outcome.

"Uncle Guo is indeed brilliant; Guo'er has lost."

Yang Guo clasped his hands in a fist salute and said with a devout expression.

Although the two seemed evenly matched, Yang Guo knew that Guo Jing had never gone all out and had been saving face for him.

"Don't be discouraged, Guo'er. Your martial arts skills have improved so rapidly that you have already surpassed many people in the martial arts world. Given time, you will surely surpass Uncle Guo."

Guo Jing smiled and nodded, patiently offering his instructions.

Yang Guo gave a serious reply, showing no sign of discouragement, and slowly stepped aside.

For him, being able to defeat Zhou Botong, the Old Urchin, was already a worthwhile trip. He hadn't originally planned to participate. If it weren't for his master's recommendation, he wouldn't have known that his current strength was comparable to the Five Greats of the World.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Yaoshi, the Eastern Heretic, stepped forward to challenge the third round.

Perhaps it was due to the principle of mutual generation and restraint, but Guo Jing defeated Yang Guo, while Huang Yaoshi defeated Guo Jing. Since they were of higher seniority, the one who prevailed became the final victor.

However, unlike Yang Guo and Guo Jing, Huang Yaoshi and Guo Jing almost always went all out when they fought, as if they were secretly competing with each other.

But in the end, Huang Yaoshi proved to be more skilled and won the third round.

At this point, four of the six participants in the Mount Hua Sword Tournament have already fought, leaving only Duan Zhengchun and Master Yideng without a fight.

"Brother Yin, please?"

Huang Yaoshi turned to Duan Zhengchun, who had been standing in the corner watching the commotion, clasped his hands in a salute, and then raised his hand in a gesture of greeting.

To be honest, ever since that incident at Lu Family Village many years ago, Huang Yaoshi had always wanted to spar with Duan Zhengchun and see who was better, but he had never had a suitable opportunity.

Duan Zhengchun glanced at Master Yideng, who remained silent and smiling in the crowd, and without hesitation, slowly walked to the center of the arena and returned Huang Yaoshi's salute with clasped hands.

Huang Yaoshi's name had been mentioned by Qiu Chuji at the beginning of his rebirth. At that time, he just felt that such a person was unattainable in terms of both martial arts skills and social status.

But now his mindset is different, especially after his battle with the Sword Demon Dugu Qiubai. He has long regarded himself as someone who surpasses all others in the martial arts world.

In his heart, he felt that no one in the world was his match anymore, including the former Five Great Masters!

"If I accidentally hurt you in a moment, please forgive me."

Duan Zhengchun clasped his hands in a fist salute and said with a smile.

"Hehe, go ahead and do your thing. I also want to see just how amazing the world-renowned Lingxiao Sword Demon is when he goes all out!"

Huang Yaoshi stroked his beard and smiled, then raised his voice and said.

"please!"

"please!"

Immediately afterwards, the two raised their hands to signal each other and rushed towards each other almost simultaneously, their speed was simply unbelievable!

However, since Huang Yaoshi was not carrying any weapons, Duan Zhengchun did not draw his sword, and his strongest killing move was not revealed.

The two exchanged blows, each unleashing their most proficient martial arts skills. Every exchange produced a series of explosive sounds, as if they were made of steel. The onlookers applauded and cheered, utterly astonished.

From the playful antics of the old rascal, to the courtesy between Guo Jing and Yang Guo, to the all-out effort between Huang Yaoshi and Guo Jing that only went so far as to stop short of a fight, and finally to the thrilling confrontation between Duan Zhengchun and Huang Yaoshi, everyone watched intently, afraid of missing a single move.

After dozens of moves, the two retreated, neither appearing to have gained an advantage. Everyone was absolutely amazed by the brilliance of their exchange, feeling that the two were evenly matched.

The only one standing in the corner taking care of her daughter remained silent and smiled, because she had already realized that Duan Zhengchun had only used 60% of his power.

Although she didn't know what Duan Zhengchun's intentions were, she knew that the fourth round would not end so easily.

"It seems the rumors in the martial world are indeed true. Looking across the entire martial world, you are the only one who can exchange dozens of blows with me without showing any defeat!"

Huang Yaoshi looked at Duan Zhengchun with approval and praised him sincerely.

"You flatter me, senior. Since we are evenly matched in terms of martial arts, let's settle this with weapons."

"I have long heard of the legendary Fallen Flower Sword of Peach Blossom Island, which is renowned throughout the martial arts world. I wonder if I will have the honor of experiencing its power today?"

Duan Zhengchun smiled and spoke slowly.

"I'm afraid this is the only way. I would also like to experience Brother Yin's Lingxiao Sword to see if it is as good as the rumors say."

Huang Yaoshi nodded, a hint of excitement flashing in his eyes.

Duan Zhengchun didn't say anything more. He slowly untied the sword box from his back, placed it at his feet, and lightly touched the mechanism. The Lingxiao Sword was launched and landed in his hand.

The moment the Lingxiao Sword burst from its sheath, it immediately drew gasps from the onlookers, and Huang Yaoshi couldn't help but raise an eyebrow.

Although Duan Zhengchun had not yet drawn his sword, the icy sword energy emanating from its blade was already pressing against everyone present!

"That's the Lingxiao Sword?!"

"It truly is a supreme treasure!"

"It seems Huang Yaoshi is going to be in a tough spot from now on!"

As the Lingxiao Sword was drawn, exclamations and discussions arose from the surrounding crowd.

"Rong'er, lend me your sword!"

Huang Yaoshi's face turned somewhat unpleasant from the surrounding chatter. He gave a soft snort and then raised his voice to say something.

"Father, take the sword!"

Huang Rong agreed and tossed her sword toward Huang Yaoshi.

Without turning his head, Huang Yaoshi firmly grasped the sword in his hand, flicked his wrist, and the sword was drawn. After performing a sword flourish, he looked at Duan Zhengchun with a deep expression.

He knew that Lingxiao Sword Demon's reputation was well-deserved, so he dared not underestimate him and was prepared to go all out.

What he didn't know was that the reason they had reached the point where they could compete in swordsmanship was all intentional!

If he knew that Duan Zhengchun had only used 60% of his power, I wonder what he would think...
