Zhang Cuishan didnât understand why he had to fight. After all, even a fool could see he was going to go easy. Wasnât this just bullying him for being honest?
Fang Susu glanced at Zhang Cuishan and, seeing that he wasnât making a move, she unexpectedly took the initiative. Her hand touched the Soft White Python Whip at her waist and lashed it at Zhang Cuishan.
With a loud crack, the whip in her hand directly struck at Zhang Cuishan. Seeing the whip coming, he frowned deeply and reluctantly drew his Zhenwu Sword.
Cang Lang sent his long sword out with a cry, knocking aside the whip, then executed a set of Martial Arts Swordsmanship.
Seeing this, Fang Susu immediately swung her Soft White Python Whip, not to be underestimated; as it swung, the whip created whooshing winds, especially when Gang Qi was infused into it. The whip ceased to be soft, transforming into a two-meter-long spear that can change shape at will.
Capable of both smashing and stabbing, its destructive power was quite astonishing. Fang Susu urged her long whip, chasing Zhang Cuishan relentlessly.
Zhang Cuishan, seeing the long whip coming at him, was drenched in sweat. He jumped up and down, dodged left and right, struggling greatly.
The Zhenwu Sword in his hand swung repeatedly, but lacked any real power, appearing soft and weak. People around shook their heads in unison.
Zuo Buqun of the Five Mountains Sword Alliance shook his head and said, "Ah, we knew itâd be like this. But watching is still infuriating. They think weâre blind? Going easy like this."
Upon hearing Zuo Buqunâs words, those surrounding him also wore wry smiles. Who didnât know this was just a farce?
For a moment, apart from the leaders of the Five Sects, all their disciples were engaged in discussions.
This is Wudangâs Fifth Hero Zhang, embarrassing! Truly a shame to Master Zhang.
No matter how others insulted him, it wasnât a big deal to Zhang Cuishan. But the one thing he couldnât tolerate was people insulting his master.
To him, Master Zhang was a god, his belief. How could he let anyone insult this belief?
Suddenly, Zhang Cuishanâs eyes sharpened. He turned to Fang Susu, becoming serious. This fight wasnât mere teasing, it concerned his masterâs honor. Whether he lost face personally was one thing, but his masterâs dignity had to be upheld!
Thinking of this, Zhang Cuishanâs sword became even more fierce, making Fang Susu struggle a bit.
Fang Susu said, "Alright, letâs see whoâs really the strongest today."
Fang Susu had a naturally competitive personality. Although Zhang Cuishanâs master was a legend in Martial Arts, so what? Her Divine Dragon Sect might not necessarily lose to Zhang Cuishan.
Thus, she too became serious, with her whip becoming increasingly fierce, no longer holding back. Zhang Cuishan saw this and calculated silently. Fine, since thatâs the case, letâs compete then.
With that, his Kung Fu became slightly more formidable.
The two exchanged attacks for over ten rounds when Zhang Cuishan suddenly used the Wudang Zhenwu Sword to knock Fang Susuâs whip aside, following up by directly charging into her open middle area, thrusting his sword towards Fang Susu.
Fang Susu was startled. She wanted to retract her whip, but it was too late.
As Zhang Cuishanâs sword was about to strike, Fang Susu panicked. She had to help Uncle Lei win this round; otherwise, facing six opponents, Uncle Lei would definitely suffer a miserable defeat, possibly even risking his life. Thinking of this, Fang Susu gritted her teeth, taking two steps forward towards Zhang Cuishanâs incoming sword.
She had an attitude that screamed, "Go ahead, stab, stab, you might as well kill me!"
Zhang Cuishan didnât expect Fang Susu to be so headstrong, advancing instead of retreating, leaving him stunned. Seeing his sword about to reach Fang Susu, he gritted his teeth, retracting his sword.
Fang Susu, seeing this, immediately used her Soft White Python Whip to perform a technique named "Snake Turning Flowers," with a loud crack, directly knocking the sword from Zhang Cuishanâs hand.
"Admit your defeat!"
Fang Susu immediately clasped her hands to acknowledge her status as the victor.
Witnessing this, Mo Shenggu exclaimed angrily, "She cheated!"
But as soon as the words left his mouth, Yin Liting held him down, saying, "What are you talking about? How can you call it cheating between a couple? Donât mess around."
Song Yuanqiao said nothing, just watched and chuckled.
Looking at Fang Susuâs victorious demeanor, Zhang Cuishan was powerless to argue, only managing a wry smile, saying, "I concede!"
This battle, Zhang Cuishan felt he had lost unjustly, but Song Yuanqiao, as the senior brother, considered Zhang Cuishanâs loss a positive.
Truthfully, Song Yuanqiao never agreed with capturing the Little Ming King. Though in Jianghu, the Zoroastrian Sect was called a Demon Sect, in opposing Qian, the Zoroastrian Sect was a leader.
Although Wudang Mountain was one of the Six Great Sects appointed by the court, the entire sect held substantial antifaction sentiment.
Not to mention Master Zhang of Wudang Mountain was a prominent figure in opposition.
Though the court used Wudang Mountain as leverage, forcing Master Zhang to act with caution, unable to publicly lead disciples in opposition.
However, Wudang Mountain still supported the movement in secret, choosing to keep a low profile and temporarily obey the court, such as this mission to capture the Demon Sect Hierarch.
They approached tasks with an intent to appear compliant while minimizing effort.
Yet, with other sects watching closely, overly blatant actions might lead to discoveries that affecting Wudangâs reputation.
Thus, Song Yuanqiao found himself in a difficult position. Fang Susu stepping forward appropriately allowed the fifth brother to engage her in a fight. Though playful, it managed to silence the criticisms from the other five sects, preventing them from speaking ill.
