Chapter 481 Peak Battle (Part )
The "Purple Star Divine Art" practiced by Luo Tianjin is the supreme martial art of the Wudang sect, and its status is comparable to the Shaolin "Yi Jin Jing".
There are five levels in "Purple Star Divine Art", namely: Wuji, Taiji, Liangyi, Sixiang and Bagua.
To practice this method, talent and opportunity are particularly important. Ordinary people may not be able to enter the realm of "Wuji" in their entire lives. Those with extraordinary talent can get started in three to five months, and can ascend to the realm of "Liangyi" in ten to eight years.
Luo Tianjin is not only extremely talented, but also highly favored by Taoist Qingfeng. Before he left Wudang to set up his own sect, he had already practiced to the level of "Four Symbols", and had memorized the obscure parts of it and mastered them.
Such an achievement is rare and precious, making him a leader among all the Wudang disciples in history.
Little did people know that the attainments of the four elders of Wudang today in the "Purple Star Divine Art" are far inferior to Luo Tianjin.
Especially after he experienced the disaster in Xiangxi, the Jiyuan Pill helped him increase his internal strength greatly, so that it was natural for him to break through the realm of "Bagua" and become the top master in the world.
At such a young age, he can be compared with the leading figures in the martial arts world, and even be on par with them.
Looking at the present, it seems that only Wu Shuang, the "Dragon Elephant Leader" who amazed everyone yesterday, is qualified to be compared with him. Even Lu Tingxiang, the "First Gentleman in the Martial Arts World", is one step behind.
However, Wu Shuang is alone after all, but Luo Tianjin is already in charge of a faction at his age, and is still much stronger than Wu Shuang.
Today, there are many rising stars in the martial arts world, such as the stunning Wu Shuang, the gifted Wu Chan, the shrewd and capable Liu Xunyi, the decisive Tang Afu, the sophisticated Qin Ku, the scheming Lu Tingxiang... They all have their own strengths and can be called outstanding people. But it seems that no one can achieve the same success as Luo Tianjin in the past.
The Luo Tianjin of the past was more like a clever fusion of these people. His intelligence, talent, strategy and martial arts were all top-notch and one in a million.
It was precisely because of his intelligence and bravery that Qingfeng, who had a keen eye for talent, chose him at first sight and married his precious daughter to the then unknown Luo Tianjin.
Originally, Qingfeng intended to train Luo Tianjin to become the next leader of Wudang, but unexpectedly, Luo Tianjin had other ambitions. He was very ambitious and unwilling to be a follower of the rules, but insisted on establishing his own school.
Of course, with the scale and achievements of Prince Xian’s Mansion today, Luo Tianjin has lived up to expectations and achieved great success.
……
Jin Fuyu practiced the "Golden Scale Secret", which he claimed was an original martial art.
Although many people do not believe it, since the information about "Golden Scale Secret" is rarely circulated in the world, there is no way to verify its true origin.
Jin Fuyu and Luo Tianjin have a "Yiyu-Liang" relationship. They are both intelligent, both talented in literature and martial arts, both built their own fortunes at a young age, both have many fans, and are surrounded by loyal and brave people.
Like the Xianwang Mansion, Jinjianwu is a latecomer and was not defeated in the world of swords and sabers. Instead, it fought its way out of the numerous sects and families and continued to prosper and grow stronger.
It was not until Jin Jianwu and Xianwang Mansion made a name for themselves in the north and south respectively that Jin Fuyu and Luo Tianjin, who were of similar age, experience, status and reputation, were often compared with each other, and this comparison lasted for more than ten years.
At the beginning of the business, everyone went their own way and did not interfere with each other.
However, when Jinjianwu and Xianwang Mansion reached a certain scale, the two overlords in the same martial arts world naturally had to cross paths. What followed was the conflict of interests, the competition of status in the martial arts world, and the open and covert competition for spheres of influence.
For many years, the two of them appeared to be in harmony on the surface, but were competing with each other behind the scenes.
Luo Tianjin was born in Wudang, so it was natural for him to get close to the six major sects. However, Jin Fuyu knew that his connections and background could not match those of Luo Tianjin, who was born in a famous and upright sect, so he took the initiative to win over the four major families that had always been at odds with the six major sects.
As time went by, all of Luo Tianjin's opponents became Jin Fuyu's friends, and the sects and forces that had grudges against Jin Fuyu also became Luo Tianjin's friends.
At some point, the righteous people in the Jianghu gradually split into two groups, and it was either this or that, and they had to make a choice. If they claimed to be noble and kept the middle way, they would either be excluded by both sides and overthrown. Or they would be branded as crooked and gradually deviate from the name of the righteous path, and even fall into the ranks of pagans.
This unexpected but reasonable situation continued for many years until Luo Tianjin went to Jiangzhou to help Xiao Zhirou. The spark gradually spread into a prairie fire. In Jiangzhou, Luo Tianjin seemed to have suppressed Jin Fuyu, but in fact, he was defeated by Jin Fuyu's series of tricks and suffered heavy casualties.
Nowadays, anyone who is on good terms with the Xianwang Mansion is either dead, injured, gone, or escaped.
As for Luo Tianjin, he lost not only his wife but also his army. Not only did his son die, but even his reputation that he had accumulated over the years was destroyed by Jin Fuyu in one fell swoop. As a result, the Xianwang Mansion went from bad to worse, and the reputation of the Northern Xianwang was completely ruined.
In Luo Tianjin's opinion, all the misfortunes were planned by Jin Fu Yu, so he became an irreconcilable enemy with him.
Similarly, Jin Fu Yu also regarded Luo Tianjin as a stumbling block on the road to hegemony, who must be eliminated.
Because of this, both of them held a firm attitude of not giving up until the other was killed, and gradually brewed a peak battle at this moment, in the midst of a violent storm, with the sky dark and the sun and moon invisible.
……
When top masters like Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu fight, their speed is beyond the vision of ordinary people. In addition, the wind and rain are continuous, and the thunder and lightning are one after another. Therefore, most of the spectators surrounding them are "blind and deaf". They can't find the location of the two people at all, and can't tell which is the wind, rain, thunder and lightning? Which is the fist and kick?
Therefore, many people complained about the bad weather. They finally had the chance to witness an epic battle, but ended up being surrounded by clouds and rain. They could not see anything even with their eyes wide open, and thus missed the opportunity in vain.
“There is a wave without a breeze!”
On the sword-fighting arena, Luo Tianjin, who had fought with Jin Fu Yu for more than a thousand rounds, suddenly shouted loudly.
In an instant, a vortex of powerful energy emerged from the ground, immediately causing the blood on the ground and millions of raindrops in the air to spin rapidly.
Luo Tianjin's hands flipped in the air, and the vortex of wind and rain grew bigger and bigger, spinning faster and faster, and in a blink of an eye it turned into a huge tornado that reached the sky and the earth, dark and terrifying.
The wind was raging, the sky was howling, the earth was roaring, and thunder and lightning were flashing, like giant gilded dragons, looming in the vortex of the hurricane.
The wind was rising and the clouds were surging, the heaven and earth were shaking, the sound was like the roar of evil spirits and the howling of gods and demons. The people around were all terrified, and they were trembling all over and looking ashen at the scene before them.
"Jin Fuyu, return my son's life to me!"
At this moment, Luo Tianjin looked like a demon killer who had walked out of the blood sea hell, his eyes were red, his face was ashen, his fangs were bared, and he was furious.
With his roar, a tornado accompanied by lightning and thunder suddenly arose, wantonly swallowing and drowning everything that approached it, and rushed straight towards Jin Fu Yu.
"Afraid you won't succeed?"
Jin Fuyu's eyes turned cold, and he quickly bit his tongue, spitting out a mouthful of blood. He stretched out his right hand in front of him and grabbed the blood into his palm. In an instant, a dazzling golden light radiated from the center of his fist, shooting in all directions through the gaps between his five fingers.
In a flash, Jin Fu Yu shouted softly and suddenly spread out his palms. Ten thousand feet of golden light emitted out and transformed into a giant golden shield and thousands of extremely sharp golden swords in front of him in the blink of an eye.
At this moment, Jin Fu Yu's arms had been completely covered by indestructible golden scales. His hands were like giant golden dragon claws. His left palm was supporting a giant golden shield, and his right hand was bent into a claw. He held thousands of golden swords suspended in the air, staring at the roaring tornado without fear.
"Suffer to death!"
Luo Tianjin and Jin Fuyu said almost at the same time. A tornado came suddenly, shaking the earth. Thousands of golden swords crossed the rain curtain, densely packed and as fast as lightning.
At the same time, Jin Fu Yu flew up, holding up a huge golden shield, following closely behind thousands of golden swords, and rushed straight towards the tornado.
"Humph!"
Luo Tianjin snorted angrily and stamped his feet, immediately creating a deep pit on the sword arena. He floated up like a ghost, entered the tornado, and swung dozens of palms in a row.
In an instant, powerful energy rushed towards Jin Fu Yu.
"Click..."
"Bang bang bang!"
The moment the thousands of golden swords touched the tornado, most of them shattered instantly, and the remaining ones could not help but spin rapidly under the terrifying force of the tornado.
The giant golden shield helped Jin Fu Yu ride the wind and waves, cut through the thorns and brambles, and after withstanding dozens of palm strikes from Luo Tianjin, it protected Jin Fu Yu as he was submerged in the vortex of wind and rain.
"Clang clang clang!"
A loud noise like the collision of metal followed, as fast as a gong scattering beans, fierce and dense, rising and falling one after another in a dark tornado, stretching endlessly.
At this time, even Xuanming, Qingfeng and others could not see the situation in the vortex clearly. They couldn't help but look anxious and pricked up their ears to listen carefully.
"boom!"
As if in a flash, or like the vast sea and fields, a deafening roar came suddenly like a thunder, shaking the people in all directions and causing pain in their ears.
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of surprised and curious eyes, the rapidly spinning tornado on the sword-fighting arena was like a slowly blooming lotus, with thunder and rain pouring down in all directions, making the nearby crowd feel a "baptism of downpour" again.
The wind and rain dissipated, the thunder and lightning returned to the sky, and two figures as straight as guns gradually appeared on the sword-fighting arena.
One on the left and one on the right, standing back to back, with expressionless eyes and silent.
At first glance, both of them seemed to be as calm as ever, unharmed.
At this moment, they were motionless, like wooden sculptures or clay figures. Their facial features were calm, as if they were being chopped by a knife or an axe. This made people suspicious and full of imagination.
When it is lively, the sky collapses and the earth cracks, and the mountains roar and the sea roars.
When it is calm, it is motionless and silent.
The sudden change caught the audience off guard, and they were all confused and at a loss as to what to say.
"Who wins this...?"
"I don't know. It looks... like a draw."
"How do you calculate a draw? There has to be a winner and a loser."
"Shh! Don't talk. Watch me! Don't be distracted at this moment."
On the sidelines, the sound of uncontrollable speculation quietly arose, and for a moment the crowd whispered to each other.
At this moment, when Xiao Zhirou looked at Luo Tianjin, a hint of worry could not help but emerge in her eyes.
Yun Zhuiyue stared at the two people on the sword-fighting stage with excited eyes, and for a moment he didn't care about his own injuries.
Xuanming and Qingfeng were stunned and looked at each other.
Others are nervous, expectant, confused, or worried... each one is different and has their own thoughts.
Suddenly, a breeze blew over the sword arena, and Jin Fuyu's body swayed slightly. Amid the exclamations of disbelief, Jin Fuyu, expressionless, closed his eyes slightly, and fell straight to the ground.
"hiss!"
With just this one scene, the whispers in the room immediately disappeared, and it became dead silent again.
At this moment, everyone's eyes were cast on Luo Tianjin, who was still standing motionless on the sword-discussing stage, and an indescribable excitement gradually emerged in their eyes.
At this moment, one person stood and one fell on the sword-fighting stage, and the outcome was self-evident.
"This time, the Luo family wins!"
Xu Qingnian's old voice sounded slowly, and the silent summit of Mount Huashan suddenly erupted into joy.
However, before the cheering disciples of the Xianwang Mansion could rush onto the stage, Luo Tianjin's body suddenly shook, and then his eyes went black, and he lost consciousness.
